THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15, No.30 New York Court of General Sessions Reverses Convictions of Protestors Against "Birth of Nation" Film. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that the five pickets, who were arrested and convicted for distributing circulars against the Ku Klux Klan in front of a theatre showing the "Birth of a Nation" film in New York, on May 12, htd been freed by Judge Alfred Talley in the Court of General Sessions. The five pickets were Katheryn Johnson, Helen Curtis, Laura Rollock, Edward Frasier and Llewellyn Rollock. The case is of wide significance for Judge Talley in his decision affirms the right of citizens of New York, to protest publicly by circular distribution against what they believe to be a movement, as in the case of the Ku Klux Klan, subversive of their rights as citizens. The ordinance under which the pickets had been arrested, said Judge Talley, was designed to prevent the streets being littered with commercial advertising matter. In speaking if the N. A. A. C. P., circular distributed by the pickets, Judge Talley sail: "The circular which the defendants were distributing bare the announcement that it was published by the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, and the defendants were acting as agents of that Association. The paper which they distributed was entitled, 'Stop the Ku Klux Propaganda in New York,' and was an appeal to the pubic not to encourage what, it was claimed, was an effort to glorify through the medium of a moving picture the activities of an organization which, it was asserted' had for its primary purpose the stirring up of prejudices and animosities against certain races and religions in this country. It would be a dangerous and un-American thing to sustain an interpretation of a city ordinance which would prohibit the free distribution by a body of citizens of a pamphlet setting forth their views against what they believed to be a movement subversive of their rights as citizens." The case in the Magistrate's Court was defended by Alken A. Pope and James C. Thomas, two colored attorneys of New York. Mr. Thomas has since been appointed Assistant U. S. Attorney. The appeal to the Court of General Sessions was taken up by Mr. Pope, whose brief in the case was a masterly effort. This victory is a victory for free speech. A GOOD WOMAN PASSES AWAY. A GOOD WOMAN PASSES AWAY. Mrs. Mattie E. Smith. Mrs. Mattle E. Smith, mother of Mrs. John D. Jones, 216 West Central Avenue denarted this lift Thursday morning at 6:30 after an illness of two weeks. Mrs Smith was a native of the State of Missouri; was born in Calloway County, afterwards moving to Carrollton, where she resided until September 1920 when she came to this city to reside with her daughter and son-in-law. Early in life she professed a faith in Christ, and at the time of her death was a member of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Carrollton, Mo., in which she always took an active part. Besides her immediate family, she leaves a host of friends both in Missouri and this city to mourn her loss. She was known as a kind, gent e spirit, a devoted mother and Christian woman whom to know was to love. Funeral services were held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Thursday afternoon, Rev. J. R. Ransom officiating. Interment was in Maple Grove Cemetery. Truly a good woman has passed away.

K., when applied to a case in which something is made to move? That Dr. P. M. Beli now has an oak floor? Signs of prosperity. That Mr. Craver, the International Y Secretary, who spoke at Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon, thinks there's a splendid reason for calling this Conference for armament reduction? He says, when a colored narc begins to manufacture, at a more rapid speed, bigger and better battleships than any of the greater powers have, it is tacn a critical moment and high time that a disarmament conference be staged right away. That's quite reasonable. isn't it? That also According to Mr. Craver's statement the American people spend nearly sixty times as much money for things that tend toward damning one's soul as they spend for saving souls. And if the cooled people who compose about one-tenth the population, granting that they spent their share of this enormous amount, hrd spent only one twentieth of it, they would have spent an amount sufficient to eliquidate the debts from race, church and school and give each school an endowment of a million dollars!

Nov. 11 President Harding's notable Birmingham, address has turned loose a mighty torrent of comment. From the floor of the Senate, both Democrat and Republican; in the daily newspapers, North and South, East and West; in the press of the people toward whom it was chiefly directed in the pulpit, school, home, and on the street, the Magna Charta of American Racial Relationship is being discussed. It will be discussed for days and years to come. G. M. Dr. F. O. Miller of Wichita, Kansas will accompany him on this tour.

Regardless of the merits of the address, President Hardng is the first President of the United States who has had the courage to devote practically an entire address, in the heart of the South, to the discussion of a subject which concerns the South more than any other issue, and wh ich, as the President stated has become a world topic. The Associated Negro Press is making a careful survey of opinion on this most unusual expression. Opinions are being gathered from every source and will be given to the public in an unbased manner. Enough of these opinions have been surveyed, up to the present, to state that there FATHER AND SON WEEK SERIES OF MEETINGS OPENED. Drowned in Little.. Arkansas River, Here. Mr. Harvey Tolbert of 1111 N. Mead Ave., was drowned in Little Arkansas River at noon Monday. He drove his wagon into the river to swell his tires and the hose was cut by a dredge boat several years ago and was 15 feet deep. Mr. Tolbert did not know that there was a hole at this place, and an old man was fishing near by tried to attract his attention but filled with the thoughts of the tasks before him, Mr. Tolbert did not hear or understand this man. After being unable to assist him this man ran and spread the alarm with the hopes of saving the man, but he was drowned before help arrived. He was a good peaceful and loving citizen. The Star extends its sympathy to the bereaved family and friends. He leaves to mourn his departure: Mrs. Rosa Tolbert, wife, six children four boys and 2 girls; Mrs Ida Hobson of K. C., Mo., Mrs. W. J. Allen of Chicago, Mr. Wm. Tolbert of K. C., Mo., Mr. Pearl Tolbert, Wichita, Mrs. Helen DeVerney, Toronto, Canada, Miss Minnie Tolbert, Wichita, Mr. Jerry Tolbert, Atchison and a host of friends. Funeral services at New Hope Church at 2:30 p. m., Saturday afternoon. is a marvelous difference of opinion concerning the address, both within and without the race. There are those within the Race who regard it as one of the greatest expressions of modern times and there are those who regard it not only as a colossal mistake, but a gratuitous mark of injustice. Practically every newspaper, both daily and weekly, have made comment on the address. The comments of the daily press, for the most part have been on the so called subject of "social equality." Practically every Negro newspaper has regretted that the President brought this phase of the subject into the discussion. One of the most discussed portions of the address in Negro newspapers is with reference to the racial votes being divided. Results from the recent elections would indicate that many have taken the invitation at face value. One well known citizen said to The Associated Negro Press that: "it is like a fellow who has been a guest in a home so long that he has worn his welcome out, and he is politely told: "Take your hat, What's your hurry?" Another added: "It is a shame and a disgrace that we had to have President Harding tell us publicly what we should have had sense enough to know and to have done long ago. Had we done this twenty years ago, we would have been stronger politically, and every way. The President has simply given us a wise and serious trip." Still another remark: "If Woodrow Wilson had kept his faith with Bishop Walters, President Harding would be inviting us to come back instead of get out." "The future of the Negro in America was never so uncertain, as since the President's address," declared a citizen of international reputation. Continuing he said: "I believe that the President is sincere, and that he hopes to do good, but he will be misunderstood in places where it will do us hurt. We must take ourselves more seriously and set about to work out our salvation in some wise way." WORTHY THOUGHTS. KON. C. H. HALL, Manager of the Kansas Free Employment Service, in a statement made to a Negro reporter, recently, said: There are very few Negroes in Wichita, idle at this time, and his office has had PRICE, FIVE CENTS The Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., opened Father and Son Week in this City with a meting of farreaching significance held at Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Mr. W. C. Craver of New York. Secretary of the International Committee Y. M. C. A. Colored, addressed the large number present. He gave a very interesting talk relative to the future manhood of the race, and the relation which should exist between Fathers and lions if this manhood is to come into its own. Mr. Craver also spoke of the economic life of our people. After this meeting Mr. Craver had a brief interview with the Board of Directors of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., in which he expressed greet satisfaction with the work of the organization in this city and urged the importance of having delegates attend the conference to be held in Cincinnati, on Dec. 1st 1921. As we go to press, plans are being made for the Father and Son Banquet at Calvary Baptist Church. but few calls from Negroes seeking employment, due among other reasons, to the fact that the Negroes are industrious and wide awake. When they are sent out on a job they stay "I put," and but few complaints are ever received concerning Negroes for whom work has been found. A'so, he states that the Negro as a whole are more ready and willing to accept work than are the white people who apply at his office, because the Negro does not try to be selective in his choice of a job. IRREGARDLESS of the attitude which may be assumed by either race relative to the inter-marriage of white and black it is entire y out of question for a judge of a court to refuse to marry white and black people when the laws of the state permit such marriages. A judge has no more right to refuse to execute and obey the laws of his state than has the most degraded member of the Ku Kux Klan or any other ignorant mob, and when he does so he is merely encouraging Law Violation by any person so inclined. It is not a matter of the rights and wrongs of marrying a white woman and a black man, but it is a question as to whether or not a judge in the glorious State of Kansas should maintain the Magesty of the law in this state. PRESIDENT HARDING went into the breeding bed of keen racial prejudice and there gave expression to the high ideals of a True Democracy. It is too early yet to determine just what effect his speech will have in its bearing on present conditions touching the Negro Race in the South yet if the tenets of that address are put in force by the strength of the majority party in Congress through enactment and enforcement of Laws tending towards securing for the Negroes those things which the President has declared to be essential, much may be accomplished. The ear of the thinking Negro has been stickled yet he still maintains an attitude of Watching, Waiting. SOCIAL Equality has never been the demand of the Negro. Equality, Equality and Absolute Equality with all other citizens before the Law in this country is what he craves. Give him by law those sublime rights which belong to all man and the conditions regulating Social Equality will take care of themselves. In fact Social Equality is a big score-crow, used by the southern white man as his cry to hinder the Negro's progress towards that greater degree of equality in the eyes of the law which must necessary put him in line to receive all minor degrees of Equality.

We The Negro Associated Press NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 11-What do you think of the action of Congress in dropping the Ku Klux Klan Investigation? Dr. Wm. Pickens asked recently by a reporter for the Associated Negro Press. "It will disappoint many," he replied, "even of those who have very little faith in Congress, that it did not take more notice of so menacing an institution as the Klan. But we did not expect to 'break up' the Klux even if it had taken more effective steps. We only hoped that the Congress might do what the New York World has done: damrge the revenucgetting schemes of the Klan in the North. We knew that no northern attack on it would break it up in the South, but rather make the backwoodsmen of Georgia, for example, feel: "We are being persecuted by those Yankees in the interest of these niggers." For in the South, mind you, it is only "niggers" that inspire the existence of the Klan, and there would not be a single Klavern in Mississippi, if there were no Colored people. The catering to the anti-Jew, anti-Japanese, and anti-Catholic sentiments in other parts of the country, is but a smoke screen to the southern sentiment to "keep the nigger down." And the attack on the Institution from the "nigger lovers" will clinch the loyalty of every provincial and ignorant white of the Old South. It is worse, too, that Congress had anything at all to do with it and Then Drop it so suddenly. The impression will be spread abroad in Dixie that Simmons, the great Wizard has gone to Washington and "Fixed it." In some of the small towns of the South, where the people read only the local papers, the poor and less educated whites are now saying: "Why, when those folks in Congress had the thing explained to them, they said it was the finest thing they ever heard of!" A something for the Negro to think about: How much do you hope to get out of a Congress which the combined power of the Jews and Catholics in this Kux propaganda and there is no doubting the fact that the Jews and Catholicism and all the foreign-born were aroused against the Klan,—but the inquiry was "Dropped" by Congress. And those of us who are not naive thought that that all was over but the shouting, when the World exposed the Ku Klux. We know the southern spirit too well to have ever felt so confident, but we, too confess that we are disappointed in the attitude of Congress. There is no doubt that the expose greatly damaged the business end of the Klan in the North, and hurt it with more intelligent and liberal whites of the South. But the provincials who still preach about "The lost cause of 1861" and who still declare on celebration days that the South has not been whipped,—she was its' overpowered,"—such people will keep this Klan alive yet awhile. Colored Minstrels are are the Best. The modern minstrelsy involved from the colored race. The Negro if he can be restrained from becoming self conscious makes the best minstrel man. Any person is sure of a good laugh if they can but be around a group of Negroes thirty minutes without the latter knowing they are near because then the colored man is perfectly natural. There have been many colored minstrel shows which were unsatisfactory in their entertainment because the colored performers were self conscious and did not act natural. The Famous Busby Minstrels have always been fortunate in having as a manager one who was familiar with the peculiarities of the Negro and knew just how to get the performers to exhibit that peculiar humor so well known among the southern darkies. Mr. Thos. T. Culligan, the present company manager is a native of the South and has assembled a company of performers that are rot posers, but real entertainers. They will be at the Crawford, Monday, Nov. 14th. Matinee and night. Negroes Asked to Sing In Meeting. (By The Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, GA. Nov.

Before beginning his sermon, "Cyclone Mack" called on the Negroes to sing some of the old songs. After they had rendered several numbers the big crowd applauded them. "I'm preaching to more Colored people than any other white minister in the country." the evangelist said, "In my big tent which I carry with me I have a section reserved for Colored people and there are from 2,000 to 3,000 present every night.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF MICRO PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE A white business concern recently called for a colored woman to solicit trade for its establishment, from colored people. The reason for reason for the call was that he had a white competitor who was securing colored patronage because of his fair treatment to the race. He failed to get the woman. The Negroes are not traitors to their friends. If you want their patronage to beat another competitor, put colored women as clerks in your store, was the cry that was handed back. All of which goes to show that we are getting wise to the methods employed by the other fellow and acting accordingly. --- ENOUGH has perhaps been said about the relations which should exist between Father and Son, to materially improve the situation; yet, it might be well to add that the Sons reflected the general principles that are inculcated by visions caught thro' the influence of Fathers to a great extent. Are you so living and dealing with your son that he is able to catch thro' you, only visions that will inspire him for great deals? Your boy needs you and your race needs him. The boy and race will both lose if you do not play the game as a worthy father. GENERAL Election Results of Tuesday might be regarded in New York as due to the July White policy being adopted by the Republican party in its attitude towards the NEGRO VOTERS of the South. Again equal consideration of the colored citizens of New York by Mayor Hylan has had a potent effect in winning votes for his party from the voters of the race all of which goes to show that the race is thinking. THOUGHTS relative to Social Equality are not futile. It should be and is the great ambition of every race of men to hope for that time when as a race they will be in position to enjoy every minor degree of equality which is understood to go with the altruistic principles of the Holy Bible that in one blood all men are treated equal. It is not a question as to whether or not Social Equality is a futile factor as much as it is one of whether or not the Negro is to have that great economic equality which will gain for his race the financial standing to the better thinking Negro does not mean social intermingling. As a race the Negro demands the rights due him as a man, a citizen, and a coming force in world affairs. If this leads to social intermingling God's Will Be Done. SOCIETY AND PERSONAL G. L. A. Club Meeting. The members of the G. L. A. Club met on Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Robt. Hill with Mrs. Ida B. Bates as hostess. The outlined program for the afternoon, was quotations from Whittler. Duet Meadames Tillman and Lewis. Paper: Why has the Novel taken such a prominet place in Literature? Miss Fay Oliver. The remainder of the time was spent in needlework. They will meet next Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. S. W. Jones. Miss Nettle Graves was called to Pratt, on account of the illness of her sister. n THE WICHITA BEACON has made a wide departure from the custom of the average white daily papers in our large cities by deciding to pay mores attention to the good things which our race is doing, and employing a Negro reporter to handle such news. Will our race show due appreciation of the attitude assumed by this great paper of our city and support its effort. It is all in the experimental stage, and it is up to our race to kill the project or make it more secure. It is our duty to read some Negro newspaper. There are Two in this town read one or the other of them. Not because you may be supporting a Negro editor but due to the fact that you are a Negro with Race Pride. A man who won't read the news of his race ought to get out of the race. Don't knock the Negro newspaper, but if they do not suit you make your kick to the Editors, and they will try to get things fixed to your satisfaction. FORTUNATELY in Wichita, we have Negro lawyers who rank with the best in their profession, and it just may be that when certain officials of our courts make another appeal for support from Negro votem. a true definition of the legal term, "Malfessance;" who can tell but what it may be so. however, all judges must know the definition or at least they should. HELLO Mr. Race Pride! Have you done anything for your race this week? I am learning a little as I spent 20c with a Negro merchant this week and only Five Dollars with a white merchant. See, I am doing better. You see if you can beat my record next week. Watch me next yeek. MORE Negroes burned in Illinois and Virginia; Texas has set the example and all heathens will take notice and fol'ow suit. Yet we fear that the worm will turn some day, and then What? GO To Church Sunday! Gives God and your rise a chance as 'they are both "On The Square." S THE Country is growing alarmed —not a Negro has been burned in Texas for one week or a little more. S THE sentiment is grand that the 'Country's Unknown Dead' may be a Negro; but yes he may be; Yes he may be. D PERSONAL Alsbic Club Gleanings. The Alabic Club met at the home of Mrs. L. C.

Have you enrolled with us? Comel Help and be helped. Our Scripture Lesson for Sunday morning worship was John 1:1-14. Our minister, D. E. T. Fishback, taking a text from Eph. 5:1-14, using for a subject, "Our Active Participation in Lifting High the Torch of Moral and Religious Culture as the Clarion Call of the Hour," delivered a discourse which revived, consoled, and enlightened. "Thy Will Be Done—With My Money" was the topic considered in the B. Y. P. U. Sunday. Two fine programs were given to large audiences—One during the social hour and one at the session which lasts from six to seven p. m. God is encouraging us by increasing the interest and efficiency in every department of our church work. At the evening worship, our pastor read for a Scripture Lesson Rev. 1st chapter. A large congregation gave attentive ear to our minister while he preached a Gospel sermon based upon the following text and subject:—Phil. 2:5-11. "The Same Disposition which was In Christ Jesus." Mrs. Ida F. Bates has returned from the Baptist Western Convention in Omaha, Nebraska. Hers was the pleasure to be elected by acclamation to retain her office as President of the Baptist Women's Convention of the Western States. The Convention was so well pleased with her annual address that a motion prevailed to have the address placed in the Omaha, Daily papers and to print five hundred copies of the address in pamphlet form to be distributed. We are proud of Mrs. Bates. She does a wonderful amount of Christian service. Mrs. Mary Mitchell is a little better. She continues to be quite cheerful. Last Friday night, Miss Marie Brown, assisted by splendid local talent, give a grand recital in New Hope. She showed taste in the choice and rendition of her readings. Miss Brown is one of our young women. She is attending the Normal in Emporia. We desire and predict her success. Will you hear the Dixie Jubilee Singers in the Greater New Hope Church.

The Sunday School opened at 9:30, filled with enthusiasm, with most of our teachers at their post of duty. 30 minutes were spent in the experiences of Paul in Jerusalem, these thirty minutes were crowned by excellent thoughts by Prof. E. M Barnes, from the blackboard. Little Miss Nellie Scott played her first S. S., march for us which demonstrated that even the smallest is doing his or her part to carry on the work of the Lord Jesus. The 11:00 o'clock service proved to be a wonderful feast of spiritual and intellectual food from the lips of the matchless preacher, Dr. B. C. Rannava-ona, who reasons well and delivers with much force and eloquence. From the text:—"This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am Well Pleased" pointed out to us our many shortcomings in pleasing our sons and in our sons pleasing us. He reasoned so strongly with us until we could hear the voluntary expressions—"It's the truth! It's the "truth!" Truly, saying the least—he gave us the right start for Father and Son's Week. Wichita's Apron Shop The Junior B Y. P. U., held a splendid session at 5:30. It was amusing New Hope Baptist. Calvary Baptist. to see the young people fill their offices and tell in their own words the Bible stories. The Senior B. Y. P. U. opened with a large number present and discussed the Doctrinal Lesson—Repentance Rewarded. We feel keenly the safety of our doctrine and rejoiced because we had repented and now were traveling towards the reward. A wave of enthusiasm swept over the meeting and many testified to the truth. The evening service at 8 o'clock was equally as powerful as that of the morning, being pregnated with the Gospei truth from from Rev. L. F. Neely. Thus passed into history a Great Lord's Day at Calvary Baptist Church. Anglo-Saxons Brain Will Not Lead. (By The Associated Negro Press) PARIS, FRANCE, Nov. 11—While so many prophets are foretelling what Anglo-Saxons will do at the conference, it might be pointed out that whatever is done at Washington will not be shaped by Anglo-Saxons at all. David Loyd George is a Celt and boasts of it. Secretary Hughes' father was named David, which with his last name, shows he is of celtic origin. But that is not all. Aristide Briand is Breton and so he is a Celt too, as he often loves to tell. It is a little too much to expect the Japanese chief delegate to trace his ancestry Celtward. Mother Fought (By The Associated Negro Press) VANDERHOOF, B. C. Nov. 11 A bald eagle with a wing spread of seven feet attempted last Monday, to carry away a nine-year-old girl named Gibbs from her home.

The pastor selected as a text, 2nd Kings, 5:3, "And she said unto her mistress, Would God my Lord were with the prophet that is in Senorial for He would recover him of his leprosy." Subject:— "Sin a Spiritual Leprosy." After reading the number which had attended the week's prayer meeting, pastor Cartwright said, "One of the things the church needs is more prayer, another, more talk about Jesus Christ. We should be more like the malden who said in the words of our text, "Would to God that my Lord," etc. Leprosy is a description of sin. Leprosy is a physicay disease. Sin is a spiritual disease. Both are incurable save by the One Great Physician—even Jesus Christ. Leprosy is contageous and hereditary, so is sin. From father Adam, we all inherit sin, by contact we all partake of it.

Miss Pertilla Penn and Miss Ruth Haworth, both teachers in the Atchison City Schools, while attending the Teachers' Association which convened in Topeka, Kansas, were guests of Mrs. Ida B. Taylor, Van Buren Avenue, and report a pleasant stay while in Topeka. Enroute home they stopped in K. C. Mo.,where they visited relatives. Rev. W. C. Cartwright, pastor of Ebernezer Baptist Church, preached the opening sermon of the revival services. Text: Isa. 1:18—"Come, now and let us reason together, saith the Lord—Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white or snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool." The pastor went on to show that sinners are lost not by reason of anything to Jesus, not because Jesus is not willing to save, not because He is not able to save—but because of something in themselves—They will not come to Christ." In it we learn Christ is able to save all men. Jesus Christ is sufficient to save all he whole world if the whole world would come to Christ for salvation. Jesus how the death of Jesus Christ took the sins of the world out of the wav, so that a clear way to God was opened to all. We also learned that satan could not enter our hearts without our consent and God would not enter our hearts without our consent. Jesus Christ will never compel any one to be a Christian. He only stands before the human soul and asks the question, "Will it then be clean?" There were two sinners who came to the anxious seat of merry, and according to report they were earnest seekers. Now if these keep coming we have no doubt but that they will be fulv persuaded. The services from this on will be special tor sinners and cold Christians.
