THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE FIGHT EXTRADITION OF NEGRO FROM N.Y. TO NORTH CAROLINA. DR. CROSSLAND APPOINTED SPECIAL EXPERT IN U.S. VETERAN BUREAU. FIGHT EXTRADITION N. Y. TO NORTH The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that an initial victory had been won in the fight to prevent extradition of Will Whitfield, colored, from New York to North Carolina, Judge Charles L. Guy, of the New York Supreme Court having granted an application for a writ of habeas corpus on October 19. The writ followed the signing of a warrant of extradition by Governor Nathan L. Miller of New York, on June 24, the extradition being based on a charge against Whitfield of "breaking and entering." The evidence submitted to Judge Guy showed that Whitfield had not committed the crime charged in North Carolina, but had been invited to enter a store by a white man who had sub- DR. CROSSLAND AP EXPERT IN U.S. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 28—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Missouri, newly appointed Special Expert in the United States Veterans' Bureau, left about Oct. 20, on an inspection tour of the Colored Schools throughout the South. Dr. Crossland's itinerary includes, in the order named, the cities of Hampton, Va., Norfolk, Va., Greenboro, N. C., Orangeburg, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., Tuskegee, Ala., New Orleans, La., Baton Rouge, La., Utical Miss., Nashville, Tenn., Normal, Ala., and Knoxville, Tenn. The object of Dr. Crossland's inspection is to make a comprehensive survey of conditions under which U. S. Veterans' Bureau Trainers in Colored Schools are receiving their rehabilitation. It is hoped that as a result of his trip he will be able to make specific recommendations to the school authorities and to the government that will result in a one hundred per cent effective program of training being adopted for Colored veterans. In speaking of his trip Dr. Cross- land says: "My inspection tour is in keeping with the other policies adopt- ed by the present administration to run the government as any efficient EXTENDS INVITATION HARL (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 28—A formal invitation was presented at the White House last Monday to President Harding by J. Paul Haller, chairman and a representative committee of Louisiana business men, asking the chief executive to attend the Thirty Three Victims "Jack the Ripper." By The Negro Associated Press CHICAGO, ILL. Oct. 28—The South side was thrown into terror early last Saturday morning when two murders and probably one mortal stabbing developed as the work of a white "Jack the Ripper" believed to be a member of the local Ku Klux Klan. The man described only vaguely by one of his victims who survived his attack, appeared shortly after midnight in an alleyway at 4555 S. State Street, seized Louise Franklin, 4231 Wabash Avenue, Colored, and pulled her into the alley where he stabbed her in the throat. The woman's screams attracted attention before the white man was able to fulfill the purpose he threatened to cut off her head. The next attack occurred also in as alley 12 blocks North. Screams come from the f200 on State Street. Those who respond Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. sequently assaulted him. As soon as Whitfield had been freed on the writ of beasae corpus, another extradition warrant, signed by Governor Miller on July 9, and based on an indictment against Whitfield for murderous assault with intent to kill, was suddenly produced by the district attorney's office. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has demanded a hearing before Governor Miller, to produce evidence that Whitfield will neither be protected from mob violence nor given a fair trial if returned to North Carolina. Meanwhile a new writ of habeas corpus to meet the new extradition warrant has been applied for by Leavelle and Shields, attorneys for Whitfield, whom the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is aiding.

It is recognized that in order to arrive at the basis for the adoption of an intelligent policy for the rehabilitation of the men of my race a thorough inspection of conditions of training and opportunities for placement must be made by someone in position to understand and appreciate the racial psychology of these men and the social and economic conditions that will confront them when they seek to follow the trade or occupation which they are now receiving at government expense because of handicaps resulting from military service." In the four weeks that Dr. Crossland has been at his office in the U.S. Veterans' Bureau he has seen, advised, and aided 700 Colored veterans. They have come to him from as far West as St. Louis, Mo., and their claims have involved matters of insurance, compensation, vocational training, medical treatment, and hospitalization. Dr. Crossland's southern trip is the first step in his great constructive work of aiding the government in providing for colored veterans, without prejudice or discrimination, every benefit to which they are justly entitled under the law.

Oct. 28—The att' tude which Colored trainmen would take in the event of the threatened strike has been a matter of public interest. The following order has been dispatched to the members of the Railroad Men's International the largest union effort among Colored railroad men by Pres. Hayes: "All members of all crafts of this organization, having taken no strike ballot, will not officially participate in any strike or walkout caled by any other organization of railroad employees." "Former instructions will be followed. You will remain at work as long as conditions will permit you and your own safety or the safety of the public is not endangered or by so staying you will not contribute to any lawlessness in the communities in which you live and work. "Should a strike be called on the road for which you work by the craft of which you are a member and a shut down seems eminent as a result, you will report to your immediate superior company official that you are ready for work when conditions make the same possible and ask for a leave of absense to begin the day of the shut down and to end the day the dispute has been settled to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, and THE RACE TO BE ITS OWN THE RACE TO BE REPRESENTED BE ITS OWN REPORTER. 0 Just as we going to press the news came over the 'phone that our race was to be represented by our own man in the person of Dr. B.

Oct. 28—The proposed investigation of the Ku Klux Klan by Congress blew up last week. After a ten minute session behind closed doors, the house rules committee which at morning and afternoon sessions last Monday put William J. Simmons, the Klan's imperial wizard, through a rigid examination, voted unanimously not to call any more witnesses, certainly at this time. Announcement of the committee's action was made by chairman Camm Great Woman Performer In Texas.

Fifth Annual Convocation Meets. (By The Negro Associated Press.) WASHIIINGTON, D. C. Oct. 28—The Howard University School of Religion, which is under the direction of Dean D. Butler Pratt, will hold its Fifth Annual Convocation at the University on November 15th, 16th, 17th, 1921, having as the Convocation Theme, "Next Steps in Recial Adjustment." Eminent speakers will lead in the discussion of the following sub-topics for the successive days of the Convocation Tuesday, November 15th. "The Re-establishment of Confidence;" Wednesday, November 16th, "The Principles Involved;" Thursday, November 17th, "The Application of the Principles." For the past few years Convocations have been held at Howard University under the direction of the Dern of the School of Religion. These meetings have served to bring together many of the leading social and religious workers in America for the purpose of having Chin exchange views. be I and the chairman and members refused later to make any comment beyond the bare statement. Final action, however, will not be taken until several absent members return to Washington, but house members accepted it as settled that they were done with the Ku Klux, unless the department of justice, conducting an inquiry of its own, comes forward with unexpected evidence. In the meantime two important conclusions appear to be reached by elements in the city of Chicago, who have been waging a bitter fight on the Ku Klux. The National Unity Council of which Ex-Governor Edward F. Dunne and Clarence Darrow were influential members, has closed shop and discontinued its fight on the Klan. But the Nations' Order of Beavers, an organization of Negroes recently organized in the "Windy City" refused to cell a hilt in its program to institute a fight to the finish on Imperial Wizard Simmons and his cohorts. The Beavers affect to believa that the Negroes are being made the victims of an agreement that has been reached by the influential elements among the country's Roman Catholics and Jews to shake off the "nigger load" they have been obliged to carry by reason of the Ku Klux proprganda against the three elements, "Niggers," "Papists" and "Sheeneys." It is alleged that a huge sum of money is being raised by the Chicago organization to carry on its fight against "Klanism." According to rumors now current in Washington, the Beavers are extending their campaign for membership into every section of the country. The present membership is declared to be close to the 100,000 mark. PRICE, FIVE CENTS NOT THE SAME. WHO IS THE BLAME? WATCH YOUR STEPS. BY WM. PICKENS. (By The Associated Negro Press) Do you remember many other things that we used to do, and to not do now, in the economic field of action? What's wrong? Who's to blame? Our big trouble was in not mixing brain with brawn. We were contented to drift along in the same old rut, year in and year out. Then we got to a point where we shrunk in a measure of false pride from doing work in the various lines mentioned. We didn't want fo.ks to know that we were "menials," whatever that may mean. Then, alone comes our brother in white, and mixes in his clever brains with a measure of finance, and not only produces new ideas, but dignifies the very things that we are ashamed of, and thousands of them have gotten rich. It is all a sad reflection on our initiative, foresight and business "get up." We hum and haw, quibble and shuffle along; while the enter-individuals "get theirs" and put us out of the running. There is but one big field wherein we have demonstrated real enterprise, and that is in the field of beauty culture. The Mcdam Walker Company, The Poro Company, the Nile Queen Corporation and several others are demonstrating the kind of enterprise, in a field where there is real money to be made, that we should, as a raco, have demonstrated many years ago, in other fields, now gone, probably forever. And even in this particular field, white brains and capital have entered with a vengeance of selfish enterprise that is astounding. This means that al. producers among Colored people, in this field, should lay aside petty jealousies, and associate themselves in an organization for self protection and mutual progress. All of this clearly and forcibly demonstrates the gigantic importance of a great National Negro Business League that gets down to business. It is all well enough for inspirational association, but our economic future in the United States calls for something considerably more substantial. We must get ourse vea in the great business markets of the nation, with a determination to measure up in fitness and efficiency with all comers—let come who will. Were we rooted into commercial life of the nation as the Jew, or the Catholic, we would also get somewhere politically, and no Administration could ignore our petitions. Recent y The Chicago Tribune endorsed the Klux; then revered itself. We are informd that the Jewish and Catholic advertisers had a little "heart to heart" talk with the publishers of The Tribune. Let's wake up! Real Money From Wrong Hands. BEAUMONT, TEXAS, Oct. 28—A gift of $1,200 by the local Ku Klux Klan for the Beaumont Day Nursery was rejected last Monday when eight out of nine general committees engaged in obtaining funds for the institution declined to accept the gift. The money was given to Mrs. Frank Keith, vice president of the Nursery, Thursday night, by a prominent attorney, who obtained her promise not to divulge his name. She had received a letter from the Klan earlier in the day telling her to expect the money. | eternal meme diesel ei OE En H. T, SIMS, Edstor and Publisher .

PICKENS, “Secretary Hughes prefers to say “limitation of armaments” ind not disarmament.” But it makes little difference which one is sald, since neither one 1s going to be done. Arm- ing {s a race, a contest, and just as much a wer as is actual fighting; who- ever can outarm, is winning. And as long as there Is great economic rival- ry, there'll be the effort to win. If the economie competition could be les- sencd, Jt would lessen the strife. If there gould be free trade and free movement of the peoples of the world, |—no tariffs and no passport red tape. “Next to the economic difficulty {x the rectal difficu.ty, “Superior races’ make arming necessary, for the very reason that there can be no “superior tace” without brute force. There could be superior individuals and ever classes—but that Is different from “superior races.” If an intelligent Englishmen {is rated the same as ar intelligent Algerian, and an ignorant Eng.jshman the aame as an Ignorant Algerian--that {s NOT s superio: race end an inferior race. A superior race must mean that the lowest of the |“superior” breed is better than th beat ofthe “inferior.” There {a ne other way to have s superior race, an there js no way to maintain such “su periority” except by FORCE en plenty of it always ready, That { Sunday-School Class No——— ‘ SS ey No, Enrolled et No, On time-—-———_____|__ No, Tardy tt No, Sick eT ee No. New Scholars et No. Visitors ee * Total Aendianceco——ceic cers Offering ni Huatls io anma anne ee Secretary _—_——— Teacher ORDER TCRAY-- SPEND TWO HOURS PER WEEK IN COMPANY WITH THINKERS BY SUBSCRIBING.FOR THIS PAPER ONLY ~— - $1.50 PER YEAR. AGENTS WANTED! CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 28—Home brew caused a strange death last Mon- day. Sam Mirobella, pouring wine from one ¢ask to anothe in the base- ment of his home, 459 W. Division Strect, lost hia baance and drowned in a barrel of wine. NEW ORLEANS, LA, Oct. 28—Negro ex-service men have been requested to register for taking part in a parade Armistice Day with Louiss Ross, head of the Negro division of the Red Cross, at the Pythian Temple, Red Cross headquarters, Seratoga and Gravier streets. Members of the Grand Armyx, Spanish-American Was Veterans, socicties, clubs and other elvie bodies are also invited to enter the demonstration, according to George Doyle, chairman of the public- ity committee, CHICAGO, ILL. Oct, 28—W, Alll- son Sweeney, the veteran journallst and publicist, died in this elty on Thursday of Inst week. Mr, Sweeney was one of the widely known Journal. ists of the race and the distinguished author of several books, He was for many years the Editor of the Indian. apolis Freeman. In later years he has lived in Chicago, and at the time of,his death was a contributing edi- tor of the Chicago Defender. Ho was born in the state of Michigan about 72 years ago. He leaves two sisters end a daughter to mourn his Joss. for the simple reason that no race will submit to such “inferiority” un- less it has to submit. “As long as we strive for economic advantage and racial superiority, it's a fight. And as iong as there is a fight, each party will grab after the best weapons in sight. The only nc- tion that could honestly support a program for the cessation of arming would be the nation that already has the greatest amount of arms and ame munition, Such a nation wou.d only be ashing that it be allowed to stry ahead—to etay superior, In 1914 Germany could hav¢ supported a pro- gram for no mete warships. Just watch and see who will sapport which program in 1921. “But it is well to talk disarmament. Tt can do no harm and may do some good. It may cause ao better under- standing of the burden of economic rivalry and racial antipathy, It may cause us to see that we cannot disarm until we are ready to give up our sel- Osh alms and our bigotrics. That con- victlon would be the first real atep to- ward univcrsal peace. i A Group Called On President. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 28—-A delegation comprising representatives of every racial group which has play- ed a part in making of America in the last 300 years, called on President Narding at the White House Satur- day morning. The object of the call was to present to him invitation from every group to attend an exposition opening at the 71st regiment armory, October 29, to demonstrate the con- tribution of each race to the upbuild- Ing of the nation. This exposition, ¢iosea November 12, the day after the opening of the Washington Confer. ence on the limitation of armaments. The purpose endorsed by: the State and city departments of education, fs to slate the racial animosities aroused by the World War.

DY WILLIAM PICKENS, T have noticed with much pleasure whertver we have gone in the year 1921, that Colored people are showing an unusual interest in politica and in running for pohtical office. In sever. al cases they have entered the contest for the offlcy of governor, as in Ar- kensas and Virginia—and in several cases they have “run” for the United States Senate, as in Maryland and Virgin'a. In none of these cases have they wen or could they win, at prisent. But the va ue of the “running itself” is whst wo want to call attention to. IT IS GOOD TO RUN. - It is self-respect ng, espectally when Democrats are etill rejecting colored folk and Repubhcans are be- traying them, The decent thing ts to support a minority ticket, however small the m’nority. Then, white folk must be gotten used to sceing Colored Folk Run for Office-and th.n some day they will not be so much surprised if some of those Colored folk should arrive, If we sce a fellow running efter any- thing for years and years, it will somewhat relieve us from too great a shock when he overtakes what he was, running after, If colored folk con- sistently run for office, it wil be ex- pected that they may sometimes w'n the rece. They first established thor- oughly the right to run; the right to win will then be more eas.ly establish- ed, Then it will cause the whole color- ed population to read and think more on political questions, for the co ored candidate must <ppeal to them and ex- plain the issues and mtke his argu- ments to the colored peopl:. This will educate coloral people in matters polt- tical, Ont of the saddest things in Southern political iife, is the ignoring ef the colored population by the can- didatzs, whcn even the most vital Is- sues are to be voted on, The colored man {s in the way tnd may be driven out even if he dares to go to “the speakin” We remember a f:w years azo when Eugene V. Debs was dis- cussing the principles of Sockalism in Birmingham, Ala., that a colored man, intelligent cnd well-known, was re- fussed admission to one of the scats in a .arge auditorium to hear the ad- dress. And yet they were to listen to a discussion of economi: and social injustices. It is well for colored folk to run for office even if they do fot’ atrive. It will create a new hfe within them. And it 1s so much better to vote for a men of your own race and lose,—than to vote for sume oily tonzaed deceiv- cr who banks on your r-gard for Abra- ham Lincoln, or for some “Southern gentleman” mere y because he hkes his “nigger Sam.” rm CRO a’Rearmt J.

Oct. 28— "Where do we go from here?" "Who wants to know " "Everybody." "Who is everybody?" "Twelve million Colored American Citizens, and as many whites as are more or less, directly or indirectly affected by our votes—seventy, eighty or ninety millions. Republicans, Democrats and what-nots." The plot thickens. Agony is added to pain; and grief is added to sorrow. The Republican administration has put the Colored citizens of the country in a hollava fox. They are panned if they do, and they are panned if they don't. They are kicking and squirming like a fish out of water—if you ever saw a fish kick—and are practically sold out on the great tri-practically sold out on the great triumvirate of virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity. The President has added new responsibilities to racial leadership. He has, witting y or unwittingly, placed this leadership in a position of more or less isolation, a position where personal initiative is required, and the progress of the entire group will be helped or hindered, by the quality of leadership that manifests itself in this lucid state of affairs. It is the supreme test of racial worthiness as we las racial efficiency; if there is a deficiency, they who now lead the hostes of "whato supremancy" will say, with an air of satisfaction, "I told you so." On the other hand, if the racial leadership measures up, and the "man of the hour" is found, there will be a new day in the life of the people. President Gives Hint. It was at historic Lincoln University, in Pennsylvania, in June, while returning from a "week-end" at the estate of the late Senator Knox, that President Harding, stopping with his party briefly during the period of commencement, gave this broad and significant hint to the Colored people of the U. S. A. "Much is said about the problem of the races, but let me tell you that there is nothing that government can do which is akin to educational work. One of the great difficulties of popular government is that citizenship expects at the hands of the government That which it should do for itself. No government can wave a magic wind and take a Race from bondage to citizenship in half a century. All that the government can do is afford an opportunity for good citizenship." There it is. The newspapers of the country published this brief address broadcast, but the significance of this particular paragraph seems not to have sunk deeply enough under the skin. To put it in much plainer language, the President was telling the Colored people of America to quit sucking the milk bottle, wean themselves from depending solely on white people to "please help the poor motherless child," and get out and dig for themselves. Demanda of Leadership. Therefore, there is a demand for new types of leadership. This demand was not born with the Presidental expression, but is the outcome of a new vision born of the World War. President Harding's expression only emphasizes the hour of necessity. The people are demanding militant leadership. They demand leadership that directs not leadership that treils in the wake if popular expediency. It is because the United States has not furnished for the Race at large a character with that type of leadership, that Marcus Garvey could come to this country, unknown and unsought, and in four years time, command a militant following of the masses that both astounds and alarms! The determination of the new Republican Administration to piece the southern states under white leadership, places the Colored citizens of that section in a most hopeless and helpless position. Whereas the racial leadership of that section has heretofore been most prominent and active in party control, without voices and with few votes, these people, worthy though they may be, are practically without power. There re, the time is at hand when the most influential political leadership of the Negro race must come from the states where Negro voting counts. The people of the South are calling upon the people of the North to "Stand up for us in this hour of trial." They are sending pitiful pleas to the newspapers, writing letters to bishops, ministers, and other friends; they are praying aloud and long by day and by night, for political redemption and salvation. Who is going to be the "man of the SUPPLEMENT=THE NEGRO STAR. hour" in the present state of affairs? Will he be Republican, Democrat, Independent, Socialist, Forty-Eighter, or what? "We shall see what we shall see." Behind political opportunity, marching on with steady treed, is economic—industrial and commercial'—progress. The fate of American Negroes is bound up in the possibilities of growth outside of political preferment. Political preferment has become a more incident in racial life, it takes on a form of nothingness that gives one a feeling of hitting space when he imagined he was going to strike a stone wall. There is going to be something doing, but who's going to do it? And I finally, aga'n, the echo: "Where do we go from here?" In Memory Dr. Charles S. Stephens of Stephenville, Miss., who died Monday evening Oct. 3, at Greenville, Miss, where he had been carried for treatment. His remains were brought back to his home for interment, Thursday, Oct. 6. The funeral was attended by Rev. J. S. Lowe and Rev. R. T. Sims. Among those present to pay the last earthly respect to their brother ware Dr. S A Miller of Jackson, Dr. Walker of Memph's, Dr. Murphy (white) of Shaw, Rev. W. A. Scott and followers. All spoke of Dr. Stephen's ability as a physician and business man. Everybody regarded his death as a great loss to the community. He was a great man and strong Christian. The Star sympathizes with community, family and friends at this great loss. SUBSCRIBER'S THANKS I am glad to say, I have taken several papers during my life, but The Negro Star is the best paper I have ever taken. My subscription was out seven months ago and I did not know the difference, as my paper kept coming until my subscription was renewed. Times were a little hard around Greenwood this year and I did not have money. Now I wish to say to the world that The Star should be in every Negro home in the United States. Thanking you again and again for your kindness, I am. Your subscriber, W. Harris, Box 112. Greenwood, Miss. Atchison Kansas News. Services at Ebernezer Baptist Church, were well attended all day. Sunday. Bible School opened at 9:30 a.m., conducted by Superintendent, Prof W. E. Gray. Lesson Subject: "Paul's Last Missionary Journey to Jerusalem." The lesson was reviewed by Sister Anna Smothers; afterwhich, the captains, (Sister Bertha Jackson for the Blue Ship, and Sister Carrie Brown for the Red Ship) took their places and there was a friendly spirit of rivalry between the two ships which ended as usurl with the red ship still in the lead. Devotional service was conducted by Bro. Page. At 11:00 n. m., the pastor, Rev. W. G. Cartwright, (after expressing thanks and gratitude to the Church and friends for the kindness extended him during his recent bereavement of the death of a dear brother) selected a text from Paul, 2.9-11: "Wherefore, God also has highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus, every one should bow of things in heaven, and things in earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ, is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The Subject: "The Divinity of Christ." The sermon was an able one, showing the birth, baptism, temptation, works, humiliation, suffring, death, and resurrection of Jesus, also His being highly exalted by God the Father and His ever presence with us, are proofs that He (Jesus Christ) is the Divine One. Three visitors were introduced and all expressed themselves as having been helped by the service. 6:30 p. m-B. Y, P. U., was entertained by the "Willing and Ready" Group. The program was good. The piano solo by Miss Vivian Harper, displayed much art and musical tastes.

Devotional service was conducted by Bro. Page, assisted by deacon board. 8:00 p. m. The pastor again faced his congregation, taking as a subject, "Prayer." Text, Matt. 6:10 "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done in earth as it is done in Heaven." As an outline, The Lord's Prayer was used. This sermon was very instructive and practical. Showing what prayer in reality means and why it is needed. Song service all day was beautiful. Collection for the day $48.33. May Christ bless and prosper His Church. Eldorado News. Our church is spiritually alive at some cause not mentioned here, we lost some of our members, we have gained and doubled our loss. Rev. Bro. Williams is assisting us this week in a revival. The Rev. seems to be at his best and therefore, God is wonderfully using him for good. Mrs. J. Recves' sister, Mrs. E. H. Harris of Caldwell, is here visiting. She has with her, her two baby girls, Little Florence is 17 months' old, and Laura Josephine whom the stork dropped in her lap 10 weeks ago. She and babies made for themselves many friends in E dorado. They were invited to Mr. Jim Henderson's Sunday to a birthday dinner which was very delicious and consisted of several courses. Many of Mr. Henderson's friends were present which added much to the joy. Again Monday evening while sitting quietly in her sister's home she was interrupted by a company of many friends, led by Sister Damerson, singing one of Zion's songs, the same entered and rendered a short but very sweet program. After which they spread a delightful repast which consisted of ice cream, coke and many other things good to ent. Mrs. Harris is speaking high in praise of her entertainment while among these hospitable people. NOTICE!
