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. (By The Associated Negro Press) DALLAS, TEXAS, Oct. 28—Hazel Harrison of Chicago, rated one of the great women performers on the piano, in this country, played to a large and appreciative audience in this city on the evening of the 27th of October. The Local critics adjudged her rendition of a large and heavy program one of the notable musical accomplishments in the history of Dallas. Miss Harrison is on tour and will appear in recital in the cities of New Orleans, Fort Worth, Waco, San Antonio, and Sherman, in Texas; Shawnee, Oklahoma City and McAllister, Oklahoma, and at Kansas City, Mo. 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. THE DYER BILL IS READY. Will Colored Americans Act? (By The Associated Negro Press) The Dyer Bill was reported favorably on October 20, by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives. Now is the time to flood Congress with telegrams, letters even personal visits to Washington. The Bill will pass if editors especially ask their readers to mention it by name and numbers—Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, and to move heaven and earth to get their representatives to vote favorably and at once. May we ask you once again to Announce The Bill, Push it and Help It Arross. We must let this congress know that a failure to bring the Dyer Bill to a vote will be regarded as a betrayal. We must let each representative know that a vote against the Dyer Bill will be known as a vote for lynching. The Big Hearted Wichitans. Wichita, Kansas, Oct. 28 Between eight and ten car loads of flour, rilled free from Kansas wheat will leave next week for Armenia, as the Thanksgiving offering of Wichita business men and other public spirited citizens. It was during the International Wheat Show that the plan of collecting a train-load of wheat was suggested. The idea took hold quicky. In three days's carloads of flour were contributed. The Wichita board of trade gave two carloads, the banks contributed one, the mills another and citizens of Wichita and farmers contributed two more. Still plelges of flour and grain come in and when the train finally pulls out for the Guf it probably will consist of ten carloads. This flour will go immediately to Near East Rel of warehouses in Armenia. It will reach there before winter closes the roads to trucks and halts traffic to interior points. Without the loss of one cent in value that groen and flour will be distributed among Armenian people and orphans, row on the verge of starvation, and whose only hope for rests on the generosity of America. All over Kansas, other towns are collecting wheat and flour and other train loads will be made up and sent to New Orleans, from where it will be taken by ships across the Atlantic. This shipment is sufficient to keep four orphanages, containing 1,000 children each, in bread for a year. Health for Over A Hundred Years. (Dr The Associated Negro Press) YORK, S. C.

What is to be done, since this race doesn't seem to be equal to the tasks of development in this present day civilization? It has been said that we are not ready for this civilization. I am aware that there's "sunfish what ails us." Wake up, begin to think and cope with progressiveness. That the foot-ball season is now here and many touch downs are being made? I think Miss Burney sees an opening thru the Ine where she can make her touch-down. That the machine equipment in the Theodore Roosevelt Intermediate school, the finest in this part of the country, is identically the same as that at our school, L'Ouverture? The school board seems to try to play fair. That iders that remain unplanted never grow? But those that are properly propagated and cultivated, make their climb beyond the sky? So spread your ideas properly and see them grow. That if this race of ours is ever to make the progress in life it should and can make, our leadership must be thoroughly renovated and saturated with Christianity? We'll always be the despised and downtrodden people's until our leadership is truly organized for unselfish, constructive service.

What! you say there is something wrong with the church and you do not need its service, ets? Sure brother, you may be right, and what are you doing to set it right? The Race and God need you and your ability. You may have just the idea of the thing that we need to set us right. If the Churches and Religious organizations are wrong Do Your Bit to Help Them "Get Put." Come—A for African. The Y. M. C. A.. of our city is working to help the young man of African origin, secure all the blessings offered by a Christian Civilization to young men of all races. There is a possibility that a Douglass, Booler T. or yet the man who is to lead our race and startle the world, is now in the embryo state over at our Water Street Branch, catching the inspiring heat of Christian Influence and Training that is to count for the success of our race. WITH the trouble that the White Pullman Car Conductors have been giving Negro Railway Porters, recently it appears that the leaders of the great Railway Brotherhoods might have given some time to that before declaring for a strike in which the Negro must become a factor. With economic conditions as they are, Why a Strike Anyhow? Labor strikes as a whole have never been of material benefit to the Negro and our race sympathy ought not to be with organized labor until its doors are thrown wide for black men to enter on a basis of absolute equal consideration. THIS paper and all other Negro papers must stand and do stand for the best interest of the Race. If they fail of such an end in our opinion, tell the managers. It is your duty to have your racial sentiments molded by Negro Editors and their duty to give you a line of thought that will fit you to cope with all questions effecting the Race. --- A white sewing machine agent raped a young Negro girl recently in Boley, Okla. Such affairs as this should arouse the race to a sense of the danger to the moral standard of our homes involved by the visiting of the men of other races as the agents of business concerns with which we as a race must deal. We are merely laying our women liable to insult and keen indignities. Young Negro girls and boys are being graduated every year who have the qualification necessary to serve as agents for any business concern in this country. The other races let the world know what thy think best for the interest of their race. "A man's home is his castle," and it is time that we should let the business world know that we rather prefer the visit of black agents instead of white to our humble castles. More colored agents may help us set aside tales of immorality of our noble women. ```markdown ``` WITHOUT cringing to open up ground for a lengthy discussion, The Negro Star in common with all Negro Organ claim a right to help mold racial sentiment, and struggle for the best interests of our race. Our racial papers can do nothing without the support of the race. If you are not reading a Negro paper, you are falling of an exhibition of your loyalty toward your race, and lacking in that degree of ordinary pride which characterize the lower form of animal life in that it clings to and appreciates its own. Read some colored paper. If its methods and articles do not suit you tell the manager but read a colored paper. n IT is said that our race is coming. Sure but we will never get there until as a whoe we learn that no certain class can be exalted above the other in our race. The color of our skin, amount of our wealth nor intellect that we possess should not cause us to feel one bit better then the blackest of our black, poorest of our poor or most ignorant of our ignorant. We are all Negroes and must rise or fall together. The civilization of the white races has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting. Many brilliant minds of the world now feel that it is tottering, and about to fall due to the fact more than another that a sense of class superiority has prevailed in its ranks. Will our race be wise? BOTH races in Wichita, have to congratulate themselves over the fact that all relations between races here are harmonious, and bid fair to remain so, due in grett measure to the fact that a common tie of interest is binding the Christian workers together in their efforts as developed and advanced by Dr. Ross Sanderson and other able men both black and white who have the well being of at heart. Our two races must live together in this country, and to insure a firm relationship between the two races that will withstand all detrimental pressure tending to cause racial disturbance, the best elements of both races must get together and work for the great common good of all. What hurts the black men, must eventually hurt the white man and it is essential that all pull together in order that more suffer. S It is said that in the happy crowd of semi-civilized people who gathered recently in Leesburg, Texas, to witness the burning of a Negro, "A nice sprinkling of Kakhi Uniform lent color to the occasion." Two-thirds of the southerners who wore kakhi uniform have never got a clear conception of what Democracy really means, and perhaps will not catch step with the progress trend of Justice and True Americanism until some atrocity committed against the race in the South arouses our race to retaliations that may astound the world. The Negro is slow to act, longsuffering and prayerful. He is not looking for trouble. But on the battle fields of the South, in Cuba and France, he has proved that once aroused he is a mighty force in aiding others to appreciate the high levels of modern civilization. ta THOSE men who have striven most to promote the general welfare of the Race, and established a better relationship between the Black and White races in this country, fully appreciate at its true value the bringing of the better thinking class of the white race in touch with the leading artist of our race. Enemies of the Negro Race have from time to time made the base assertion that the Negro is not canable of attaining that high degree of intellectual strength, necessary to give proper interpretation of the work of the world's great masters in Art, Music and Literature. If this assertion was true, it would be reasonable to make the deduction that the Negro is not far advanced over the anthrope stage of life. This is a foul lie that should be nailed whenever opportunity is afforded. The way in nail it is to produce the best artists of our race, and let them "Deliver The Goods," in the presence of our white brother. By bringing Hazel Harrison to this city Dr. F. L. Barnett, has increased the prestige of the race in Wichita, 10%. By his effort we have shown that we both have an artist who can interpret the masterpieces of Wagoner, Chopin and Beethoven, but that more, in F. L. Barnett we have a man who takes rank with the musical connoisseurs of any race. s THE Colored Professional man's diploma and State Certificate was earned by the same qualifications, standardized grading and mainly efforts that won for the white professional man. They started out in the struggle with your black brother handicapped by his color. Are you helping him or holding him back in his race for success? IT is to the interest of the race to ever remember that a finished transaction is an asset, unfinished business is a liability. This should apply in all matters affecting our people even The Churches. THE time is at hand when the Negro Criminal must be made to fully understand that the sympathy of his race is not with him in his criminal career, and that it has no interest in common other than to see that he receives a fair and impartial trial. ALL news from Tulsa, tells that the Race is coming back into its own. The Negro Race by its strength of character is always able to stage a "Come Back;" Why? Because its fathers knew how and to Whom to pray. Its young men and women know how to battle and win against odds, and its racial platform is The Holy Bible. What about its mothers? Why even the other race recognizes their standard of respectability, honor and Christian Character by delighting to call them "Mammy." RADICALISM in any form must not be allowed to become a factor in determining the futures policies of our race. Calm, reasonable consideration of our perplexing problems, and then conservative steps towards ultimate solution based upon the spirit of the fact that we are Americans, and a positive determination to have the rights accorded Americans by Law should be the progressive trend of all racial thought. THE problem of education is one of the greatest problems effecting the human family today. The proper education of the child must begin in the home, and there is nothing so essential to the proper education of your child as the interest which you take in its educational training and the assistance you are giving the school teacher by seeing that the child is taught some lessons of obedience, attention, respect for its teacher, etc. at home. The child in the class room is merely a mirror reflecting its home life. If the police department of any city is employing Third Degree Methods to secure confessions from Negroes who are arrested it is a matter that should have the attention of every race man and be met with vigorous protest by the Colored citizens. Such methods are but a step removed from that state of inefficiency in a police department which makes it of no value for the protection of our race. THE Attorney General of a Southern State in a decision handed to the Governor of his state has placed the Ku Klux Klan entirely without the pile of the law, declaring it to be a criminal conspiracy. With a Majority in Congress and the Ku Klux Klan under investigation by one of its committees, sure, this attorney General has marked a path of honor and right. Will Congress now follow the pace and kill the malicious dragon that is threatening to undermine the most sacred principles of Democracy? It is said that a powerful voting element has its ear to the ground. THE Colored people of Denver, according to The Denver Star, are meeting keen competition along business lines, and "Colored men are being pushed out of every job that they used to hold, by foreigners." These are but signs of the time that warn the Negroes to give greater support to their business men. The day must come and is fastly approaching when as a race, we will be called upon to meet the bitterest industrial and commercial competition that any race has ever had to free. Support our business enterprises in order that our business men may be position to meet the industrial storm, and make places for our unemployed men. s A man's home is his crest. The visitation of white agents to the homes of Negroes cannot make for the great moral development of the race. Can we not have Negro Agents visit our home? Can our money not move through Negro hands in the payment of insurance premiums? The Sunflower Mutual Insurance Association of Wichita and other Negro Insurance concerns? Say yes. The Negro insurance business has passed beyond the experimental stage, and deserves considerat on from every Negro who wishes to insure to the women of the race that position of dignity and honor which they deserve. RACE PRIDE, how much have you accomplished for your race this week! Have you supported a Colored Business enterprise? A colored Church! A Colored School! Have you read a Colored newspaper! Have These are the things you want. You'll not find them where "selling at a price" is the main idea. You'll find them where STYLE and QUALITY are the first importance; where there's a desire to give you all the quality your money can buy.

Handshake The sudden death of Mrs. John T Chinneth last Sunday morning, after an illness which was not considered serious until a few days prior to her death, was indeed a shock to all who have known this family and had hoped she would survive an operation. Mrs Chinneth was taken to St. Francis Hospital last Monday week and after a careful diagnosis of her case an operation was performed for a cancerous growth. Owing to her weakened condition, however, although conscious to the last, she gradually continued to fail and at 6 o'clock last Sunday morning, she passed away at the hospital in the presence of her son and daughter, Milton and Harriet.

Oct. 28—Wisconsin was formerly introduced to Ku Klux Klan acts of terrorism when a posse of night riders, garbed in the white robes and cornucopia helmets of the order, descended upon a farmhouse near here last Monday night and threatened John H. Hiller, a young proprietor of the farm, with serious injury if he did not leave immediately. After the spokesman for the five masked riders had served the ultimatum they dashed away in a waiting limosine. This deed follows frequent reports that a klan chapter had been organized secretly in Racine County. SIMS' RECORDS NOW READY. They will make your Church work better.

DISARMAMENT BY WM. PICKENS. "Secretary Hughes prefers to say "limitation of armaments" and not disarmament." But it makes little difference which one is said, since neither one is going to be done. Arming is a race, a contest, and just as much a war as is actual fighting; whoever can outarm, is winning. And as long as there is great economic rivalry, there'll be the effort to win. If the economic competition could be lessened, it would lessen the strife. If there could be free trade and free movement of the peoples of the world,—no tariffs and no passport red tape. "Next to the economic difficulty is the racial difficulty, "Superior races" make arming necessary, for the very reason that there can be no "superior race" without brute force. There could be superior individuals and even classes—but that is different from "superior races." If an intelligent Englishman is rated the same as an intelligent Algerian, and an ignorant Englishman the same as an ignorant Algerian, that is NOT a superior race and an inferior race. A superior race must mean that the lowest of the "superior" breed is better than the best of the "inferior." There is no other way to have a superior race, and there is no way to maintain such "superiority" except by FORCE and plenty of it always ready. That is --- here. ```markdown ``` Sunday-School Class No. Date 19 No. Enrolled No. On Time No. Tardy No. Sick No. New Scholars No. Visitors Total Attendance Offering Remarks Secretary Teacher ORDER TODAY-- CLASS REPORTING A real Sunday School ne to make SIMS' RECORD SYST 12 Envelopes 100 Envelopes 500 Envelopes 1000 Envelopes SPEND TWO HOURS IN COMPANY WITH BY SUBSCRIBING THIS PAP ONLY $1.5 PER YE AGENTS WA CLASS REPORTING ENVELOPE.

And as long as there is a fight, each party will grab after the best weapons in sight. The only nation that could honestly support a program for the cessation of arming would be the nation that already has the greatest amount of arms and ammunition. Such a nation would only be asking that it be allowed to stry ahead—to stay superior. In 1914 Germany could have supported a program for no more warships. Just watch and see who will support which program in 1921. "But it is well to talk disarmament. It can do no harm and may do some good. It may cause a better understanding 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 selfish aims and our bigotries. That conviction would be the first real step toward universal peace. A Group Called On President. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 28—A delegation comprising representatives of every racial group which has played a part in making of America in the last 300 years, called on President Harding at the White House Saturday 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 contribution of each race to the upbuilding of the nation. This exposition, closes November 12, the day after the opening of the Washington Conference on the limitation of armaments.

BY WILLIAM PICKENS. I have noticed with much pleasure wherwer we have gone in the year 1921, that Colored people are showing an unusual interest in politics and in running for political office. In several cases they have entered the contest for the office of governor, as in Arkansas and Virginia—and in several cases they have "run" for the United States Senate, as in Maryland and Virginia'. In none of these cases have they won or could they win, at present. But the value of the "running itself" is what we want to call attention to. IT IS GOOD TO RUN. It is self-respecting, especially when Democrats are still rejecting colored folk and Republicans are betraying them. The decent thing is to support a minority ticket, however small the minority. Then, white folk must be gotten used to seeing Colored Folk Run for Office, and then some day they will not be so much surprised if some of those Colored folk should arrive. If we see a fellow running after anything 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 consistently run for office, it will be expected that they may sometimes win the race. They first established thoroughly the right to run; the right to win will then be more easily established. Then it will cause the whole colored population to read and think more on political questions, for the colored candidate must appeal to them and explain the issues and make his arguments to the colored people. This will educate colored people in matters political. One of the saddest things in Southern political life, is the ignoring of the colored population by the candidates, when even the most vital issues are to be voted on. The colored man is in the way and may be driven out even if he dares to go to "the speakin" We remember a few years ago when Eugene V. Dobs was discussing the principles of Socialism in Birmingham, Ala., that a colored man, intelligent and well-known, was refused admission to one of the seats in a large auditorium to hear the address. And yet they were to listen to a discussion of economic and social injustices. It is well for colored folk to run for office even if they do not arrive. It will create a new life within them. And it is so much better to vote for a man of your own race and lose,—than to vote for some oily tongued deceiver who banks on your regard for Abraham Lincoln, or for some "Southern gentleman" mercy because he likes his "nigger Sam."

"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!
