Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14, No.31 NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 18—The political master minds have something to think about. Mayor Hylan, Democrat, New York, has been swept into office by more than 400 000 plurality, and the Colored Americans of Harlem added the might of their votes to the result. In some presidents Mayor Hylan received as many as six votes among Colored to one for the Republican nominee. There was never a more strenuous campaign for votes within the group than was made by Democratic Tammany Hall. There were clubs by the score; literature by the ton; signs by the acre and enough Hylan enthusiasm to make high waves in the Atlantic Ocean. Mayor Hylan personally spoke several times in the district, and capped the climax Sunday by reviewing the mammoth civic and military parade, and delivering an address at the ground breaking for the new 15th regiment armory. In Virginia, the "Lily Whites" who hoped to carry the state by their new program eliminating the Negro votes from the Republican party, were repudiated by more than 60,000 votes. The "Lily Black" ticket, headed by John Mitchell for Governor, polled more than 20,000 votes, a most significant achievement. In Richmond, a lack of organization was shown. It is claimed only 2,800 Colored votrs were registered and Mitchell in his own city, secured only 500 votes. The leaders in Virginia are encouraged by the remarkable showing throughout the state and plan to redouble their efforts. In Louisville, while the Republcan city ticket was successful, the Lincoln Independents polled a large vote, cutting down the Republican plurality, and the state ticket went Democratic. Wilson Lovett, candidate for legislature led the ticket, Warley and Cole, close seconds. Returns for Alderman in various places, including New York have been slow coming in. George Harris was defeated, losing by the narrow margin of 105 votes, Harris ran a good race in a campaign filled with abuse and personalities. Dr. Roberts was defeated. In Phi'adelphia Amos Scott has been elected Magistrate. ANNOUNCEMENT Western Star Consistory No. 18 A. A. Scottish Rite Free Masonry Ceremonial Session in session with Emith Temple No. 30 A. E. A. O.

(By The Associated Negro Press) At last that anti-lynching bill has succeeded in getting out of committee at least. Whether it will now get a favorable vote on the floor of Congress, depends. Now is the real time to work, on your congressman and your senator,—not those from the South but those from everywhere else. If you "bother the 'gentleman from Mississippi" about this bill, it will just only remind him to be sure to turn out and vote against it. Don't waste any stamps or ink on Mississippi delegations, but wherever colored people vote, let the congressmen know that you want this bill passed. Moreover, let them know that it must be passed without being emasculated, without having its teeth drawn. It will be easy to take the kick out of this bill and pass it. As it is now written, it is a pretty stiff proposition for the mob-murdered. For example, it says that the lynchers shall be sentenced for Life or for not less than Five Years. Now, that minimum is the really important thing. If it read that the guilty party may be convicted for life, or must be sentenced to serve Not More Than a life term, it would not be worth two cents in Mississippi: for if they just had to convict anybody there for lynching a Negro, they might give him a thirty day, or twenty-four hour, sentence, and then "auspend the sentence." It is much more important that this bill should say that the murderer should receive at least five years, than to say he may receive a life term. The minimum is the thing. The maximum is just a threat, and we do not care about mere gestures in Mississippi. Even if this minimum were only One year, it would be better than a maximum threat of a hanging. In fact, we would feel more hopeful if the minimum be too high, there will be too much sympathy for the scoundrels who sit before the court, while if there be no minimum at all, the law will be a joke in Georgia. Colored folk are so very hopeful, so quick to believe. Please do not believe that this anti-lynching law is made yet, or that it will be effective when it is made, unless you work harder for it Now than ever before. So far, so good: the colored folk have spent years of toil and sweat and money working for this bill, and it is now actually to be debated in Congress, and maybe passed in some shape. One organization, known as The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has spent more than Thirty Thousand Dollars in the ten-year fight for this bill. And in other ways the colored group alone has spent millions: in their newspaper columns, on their platforms, from their church rostrums, and thru individual and organized efforts of every kind—to say nothing of the immeasurable sufferings and losses. This Must Not Fail. But it will fail if we do not work now. The Bill is now up against its most hazardous experience in attempting to "run the gauntlet" of this congress. WELL SPOKEN AND WELL RECEIVED. PRESIDENT HARDINGS GREAT SPEECH on the color question at Birmingham accentuates his growing disposition to deal boldly with the big concerns of contemporary life. The remark seems literally true that no president preceding him has dared either in the North or in the South to speak of issues between the white and colored races. But Mr. Harding spoke his mind in the South, to both white and black southerners, and yet with a fairness entirely superior to sectionalism, for he expressly recognized that in some aspects at least the interracial problem is more serious North than South. And his recommendations to both races were the essence of good sense, fair Americanism and sound Christianity. An honest open chance for the black race to get on and get up and contribute all which it can fit itself to contribute to the common welfare of a democratic nation; a hearty, self-respecting race-pride determined to maintain an unmixed strut of Negro blood, and a spirit of Christian consideration governing both races as fellow citizens in this mighty land of opportunity—this is a summary of the President's sensible proposals for interracial concord. It is a particular sign of Harding's penetration that he shrewdly criticises the inappropriateness of the common phrase "Social equality." The thing which both races in the person of their wisest leaders deprecate is really social comingling. But is the President's whole address was designed to make plain, democratic ideals demand at least the chance for "equality" in every department of life. When equilibrium is finally reached in America on this color problem, some circles at least of Negro society will stand on a level culture with the highest circles of white society. And mutual respect will affect them equally in both directions. But they will not be comingling circles then any more than now. The reception of the remarks of Mr. Harding is also encouraging. The applause of his colored hearers should be entire reassurance to doubters who have supposed that colored men and women are ambitious to attain what is now called "social equality." On the other hand the calm acceptance of the President's observations by the vast majority of the white people of the South is an evidence that even where the bitterest prejudice against the black race was formerly supposed to center, there has already arisen a prevailing sentiment in favor of a just and friendly attitude, encouraging the capabe Negro to make of himself, for his own sake and the sake of his people, the best man he can be, morally, socially and economically. To be sure, a few voices have resorted to the o'd "bromidiom," that the President being a northern man cannot possibly know anything about the race problem. But that is only the ritual remark preserved by custom for the use of persons too idle to think. Thinkers know that on a theme like this the best wisdom results from putting together the ideas of those who look at the matter from a distance and ARE YOU AWARE? ```markdown ``` That just a call and a hearing of the other fellows' success and beings, helps us to move along to prosperity? Opportunity comes to us as a man divested of all his hair except a forelock, which if we do not grasp upon his approach, we lose our chance. It is the individual password with forethought who makes good of the opportunities as they come to him. Therefore, two of the most essential assets to one's life are forethought and presence of mind. That under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., there was one of the most largely attended meetings known to the Association? There is truly and surely a pressure for good being brought to the people of Wichita. That a certain dealer downtown expresses his idea about the weatherman, thinks that if he keeps-lying as he's been-a-lying ever week 'twould be better if he were "fired?" That somebody else has been lying or something? When a fellow, not a man, says he's a lover of his race, and won't give workmen of his own race a chance to do what he has to be done, either lied or told an untruth. And the fellow who doesn't say anything but goes and gets the other fellow whenever he wants something done is worse than a traitor and should be ostracized by sensible people? That we are glad to note how some of our group are beginning to think later reading this column? The primary object of the editor of this column and the editor-in-chief is to awaken and establish a system of thinking within the confines of our race? When a people will stop to think on their procedure of life they do not perish but have everlasting life. Use a few moments to meditate over helpful things. Say something funny and interesting. That our women are due a lot of credit for the great, good work they are doing in this Red Cross Drive. Are you on their roll? if not, get busy as it is an organization that shows no discrimination whatever. That our Insurance Company, Coal Company, Negro Business Lergue, are causing quite a stir among the other fellows? Our paper is being read where you least suspect. Are you reading it or just subscribing? That for those who are thrifty, there is a small block of shares left yet to be sold of the Krasas Mercantile and Coal Co.? For further information, call The Star office and call before the books close. the ideas of those who see it close at hand. Long sight then corrects short sight and viceversa. A few others have asked whether white men can be expected to let themselves be governed by a majority of black ballots. The President answered that also. He said in effect that no man, white or black, ought to vote until his intellectual fitness for it is ascertained. The southern states and all the rest are at liberty to impose educational restrictions on the right to vote. And if such restrictions are equitably administered, national opinion will fully sustain them. PRICE, FIVE CENTS Believe It to be (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL. Nov. 18—Colored Post Office circles are up in arms over a report on the Chicago Post-office, made at a hearing held in Washington, October 5th, before the Joint Postal Commission. The report declared that Colored clerks and carriers were inefficient as compared with whites and that 900 whites could do the same work which 1400 Colored employees now perform. The charge came as a blow because Chicago's Federal group has been regarded as of unusually high calibre and it has been a common opinion that they outclassed most of the white employees in every way. Portions of the report follow: "The situation in respect to the growing numbers of Colored employees in the Chicago Postal service is a very serious one. When it comes to the practical handing of mail the Coored employees are inferior to the whites. This refers of course to the general average. When the importance of the Postal service to the whole business and social life of the nation is considered the subject becomes worthy of discussion. "The Administration of that Chicago Post Office is not making those Negroes turn out the work that the whte men do turn out, and they could save 500 employees in that Post Office if they applied the standards of efficiency in every day work to those Negroes that they require of the whites. That has a very demoralizing effect on the White employee, not to mention the contact features of it which of course, cannot be helped, and that is a thing which I think deserves very considerable administrative attention in that post office, if they ever want to get the Postal Service up right. It was also observed that lack of proper supervision of those employees of the facing table results in very slow work on this operation. This is especially noticeable with those Colored female employees who are employed on the facing table. % from our observation, which is confirmed by the supervisory officials and station superintendents, the work of the 1400 coated employees of the Chicago Post Office could be done by 900 average white employees. This makes a possible saving of (500 x 1400) $700,000 per year. "The enforcement of efficiency standards on the daily work will automatically eliminate the bulk of these 1400 Negroes and will effect a saving of $700,000, per year." Postmaster Lender when interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press declared there was nothing to worry about in the report. He said: "The report was asked for during the Democratic Administration at Washington and was compiled after an investigation by a New York Firm of Efficiency experts and postal officials from New York. The Colored employees of this office rank well and they will be assured of a square deal in any investigation which comes up." In the meantime, the Colored c'erks and carriers who number 1400 out of 1000 employees, regard the attack as racial and are preparing to guard their interests. EXECUTIVE BOARD MEET. The Southwest District Board and Auxiliaries are meeting with Rev. J. Reeves' church of Eldorado. The Boards are outlining their year's work, and Miss Nellie Newton are those in and prosperous year.

Come and be with us if you are not attending any Sunday School. We have a splendid Sunday School. The lesson was reviewed by the assistant suprintendent, Mrs. O. A. Briley which was timely.

Collect on $1.18. Morning service opened at 11 o'clock; song by the choir. The minister gave his text Cor. 13: 1-7; subject: "Sincere Desire." It was a wonderful sermon.

Barnes was excellent in his practical exegesis of the lesson. Those missing S. S., are missing the church studying the Bible which means ```markdown ``` substantial edifying of the soul. The morning service proved to be a revision and blessing for the believers in Jesus Christ. The Rev. Rannavalona chose for his text, "Can These Bones Live?" He gave us to know that believers in the Christian Faith find nothing impossible and left us with spiritual food for the entire week, something on which to meditate during our idle hours. Many are saying they had heard that text before but never as many real plain thoughts on which to ponder. If you missed hearing this matchless speaker, you indeed have something to regret. Junior B. Y. P. U. at 6.00 o'clock. Senior B. Y. P. U. at 7:00 o'clock. All officers at their post of duty. The evening services were as inspiring as that of the morning; beautiful music by the choir under the direction of Prof. E. M. Barnes. The pulpit was filled by Rev. J. M. Batman of Pine Bluff, Ark. He gave full of fire and enthusiasm. On Sunday Nov. 20th Rev. Hayes of Leavenworth, will preach for us. Come out and hear him, give him a ful, house, make a splendid showing.

THE RUSSIAN SOVIET government has sent a note to the governments of the United States, Japan, Great Britain, France and Italy in which it pledges itself to pay al. Russian debts contracted before 1914 and asks for an international conference to investigate the claims of the powers against Russia as well as those of the Russian government against this powers. The note is the logical outcome of the famine conditions in Russia and the growing conservatism of the soviet leaders as expressed in recent addresses of Lenin. It is based on information received from western papers that a conference of the powers at Brussels made recognition of the debts of the czar's government a condition to the offering of credits in aid of famine sufferers. One of the surprising statements Cherryvale News. Those on the sick list this week are Misses F.ora Bean, Nellie Roberson, Mrs. Lucille Smith, Master Jessie Bryant and Little E R.

The most enthusiastic and impressive meeting in the annals of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., was the initial meeting of the "Week of Prayer." Mr. W. E.

HELP! HELP! The Booker T. Washington HI-Y Club is saying, HELP USI to send two members to the 20th Annual Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 1-4 by attending our "Concert and Stunt Program a t L'Ouverture School FRIDAY, 25, 8:00 p. m. Admission only 10 and 25c. of the note, which was sent by Foreign Minister Tchitchern, is that the demand for recognition of the old debts under certain conditions only anticipated the ultimate plan of the soviet government. The note points out that it is clearly impossible to reestablish complete peace without Russia and her 180,000,000 inhabitants; that the way is now open to private enterprise and capital, in collaboration with the workers' government, to develop the natural resources of Russia; and that legal guarantees are offered to induce private interests to take part in the economic work of Russ'a. A large number of the bonds of the czarist government are held by small investors in France and it has been largely because of this that France has continually opposed any recognition of the soviet government, has supported the Polish government and has refused to enter into trade agreements with Russia. The absolute condition attached to recognition of debts by the soviets is the ending, without qualification, of any outside menace to the security of the soviet republics and their sovereign rights and observance of their full sovereignty and territorial integrity. —Clipping Office Phone M. 1537 Residence Phone M. 1537 Notary Public in Office.

It terminated with 103 Fathers and sons sitting down together for an evening of enjoyment and understanding, at the Banquet at Calvary Baptist Church. The Program was very impressive, the outstanding feature of which was the address by Mayor Kemp. Among other things, the Mayor said: "They must have a New Building," as he passed the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A. In this meeting the past, present, and future manhood of the race, met on an equal social plane to make, renew and plan a better understanding among each other. Three tables the length of the basement of the church were filled with fathers and sons, signing pledges and enjoying a pleasant evening. After the first course President N. D. Briley gave a. three minute talk, followed by Dr. G. G. Brown, Secretary and Prof. H. T. Sims, Treasurer of Ex. Board of the Y. M. C. A. The talks though short were inspiring and instructive. Mr. Jns. Lamb rendered a thoughtful paper—"The Boy and The Daddy." Dr. Sanderson, Secretary of the Federation of Churches of the city; Mr. Ikelberger our City Sec., of Boys' Committee; Mr. Dossen, Secretary of Boys Hi-Y—reported to have visited Lanquets all over the city and reported 2016 fathers and sons sitting in union and fellowship; stating they were sure that nearly 3000 fathers and sons would meet in a banquet way, during the week. The Mayor grew eloquent in his words of encouragement for greater manhood of Wichita. Each one of the speakers left us distinct thoughts along his line of endeavor that would mean much in the developing of the Race. Rev. Douglass, pastor of St. Mary's Baptist Church, in his usual way, responded. Rey. M. S. Jones of Friend, Kansas, formerly of this city, recited some past history that proved to us that the "Y" had a small beginning but looks forward to a great ending; he also left with us some impressive truths that all resolved to follow. Mr. Jas. Taylor gave us a select reading that was true in its nature and witty in its diction. Prof. E. M. Barnes who was to respond found the interpretation of his rentiments in the "Association Men" which he read for our consideration. Mr. Jas. C. Cowan who is recognized as an ideal father of the city, read a select piece demonstrating low fathers unthoughtfully neglect their sons for the gains and riches of this world; which causes much pain to the mother, a wasted life of a boy and home made sad by the shortened days of their child. Capt. W. L. Hutcherson opened the closing address with an attack on the father's refusing to bring his son to the banquet; he showed them that they would spend $100 or any amount of money to get their son out of prison, but would not spend a dollar to keep him from going to prison. He asked that we read Malachi4:3; he further proves by his clippings, in reciting the experiences of successful fathers, that a son should receive one hour each day and two hours on Sunday from his "dad." President Asks Rights For Negroes. PRESIDENT HARDING in a courageous speech a few weeks ago at Birmingham, Alabama, made a plea for broader rights for the Negro and a permanent solution of the race question. While admitting that social equality is not a possibility and Mail Orders Filled - Postage Prepaid EASTERN OUTLET CO. 137 N. Main St. should not be desired by the Negro, he declared that the black man must have increased political, educational and economic opportunity if the American nation is to live true to its traditions of democracy. The address, which created considerable surprise throughout the nation, was carefully prepared and emphatically expressed. It was delivered before an audience of whites and Negroes and was received by the latter with enthusiasm. There had been no indication in advance that the president would touch on the Negro question. While there should be absolute divergence in things social and racial, the president declared, politically and economically there need be no occasion for great and permanent differentiation. He emphasized this assertion by adding that he meant it in precisely the same way and to the same extent he would mean it if he spoke of equal opportunity between members of the same race. He said: "Let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the white man from voting when he is unfit to vote." He asked that there be such education among colored people as will enable them to develop their own leaders who will understand the differentiation of races. He further expressed the wish that the tradition of a solidly Democratic South end of a solidly Republican black South might be broken up, for neither political sectionalism nor any system of rigid groupings of people will prosper in the long run. —Clipping Please give space to say that the Second Baptist Church, here is prospering under the leadership of the Rev.

We reserve the right to reject any matter for publication.—Notify us at once, when you fail to receive your paper. IN last week's editorial column, visually, there appeared an article mentioning what had been assumed to be the attitude of a certain merchant of this city relative to the employment of a co-ored woman. On close investigation of the matter it is found that the merchant was placed in an unfair light due to some misrepresentations relative to the premises of the entire matter. The Star makes haste to with-draw the article and the editorial department is delighted to very humbly correct the error and offer full regrets. THE greatest good for our race will come when all its members will meet fair and square without any personal desire for exaltation or gain and bow at the altar of Racial Service there to pray for the successful march of every Negro enterprise in regardless of personal likes and dislikes. What matter if we do individualy dislike a certain fellow or group of fellows? His business ought not be a mark for us to knock. What matter if their interests is opposed to ours. So long as all things are FAIR and count for the good of the race; the many, LET US BOOST AND FORGET THE HAMMER. WHY advocate the general success of the business man of our race and than knock colored business enterprise. Ohl Why cannot members of our race engaged in the same business regard each other in the spirit of commercial brotherhood. This spirit must be properly deve'opel by all Negro business men and if not the final result will be that the business of our race will be in the hands of members of some race who believe in boosting on the square and not knocking behind the woodpile. THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE is in session. Over all the hidden paths of modern diplomacy, let us pray that Perse may march on victorious and come out into the sunlight of civilization bearing in her hand the rose of a better understanding between all men which will take from war its damning sting. SAY, I have won this week, I spent $5.00 with a white merchant and $5.00 with a colored merchant. They both served my purpose; hence both won my patronage. --- TRAPS are sett for fools, monkeys, mice, etc. The editorial writer was caught in a trap last week; hence not many editorials this week due to the fact that he is busy trying to determine just which of the three species of animal life mentioned above may claim him as a relative. THE NEGRO STAR makes no fight only for what it deems to be for the best interests of the NEGRO and God. Its policy is to Live and Let Live. Above all things it will not knowingly strike or strive to knock at any man's business by means fair nor foul. Sometimes the best of us are deceived into actions that we would not take but for misplaced confidence. TO Be Broad in Mind; Warm in Appreciation; Kind in Deeds; Loyal to Race; Fair towards all BUSINESS ENTERPRISES; Devoted to CHRIST; Wise in all selections of FRIENDS; Clean in Individual Life with a high respect for the OPINION of ALL MEN. These are some of the things that count. THE flower of Hope for the Negro race is in striving to maintain a pleasant relationship between both races. This will never be accomplished by force of anything but Christ in the human heart. No agency advising the colored man to hope to gain his ends by hostile actions can accomplish the great good for the many. PLEASE do something good for the race this week; Go to some of our many excellent church services Sunday and ever remember that of our churches of various denominations in Wichita, they are all striving in accord with their faith to build for God and the Race. DIXIE JUBILEE SINGERS SCORED The Dixie Jubilee Singers after filling their engagement at New Hope Baptist Church Friday evening and in the different services Sunday, sang Sunday evening at the First Baptist Church (white) to quite an immense audience; so good did their appearing prove to be that they are to return to Wichita, soon for another hearing. OUR MOTTO FOR THIS WEEK IS LIVE AND LET LIVE—What is You's? FIRST IN SERVICE s SOCIETY AND PERSONAL ```markdown ``` Mr. Rucker, Manager of the Dixie Jubilee Singers, visited our office Monday while in the city. Mr. W. H. LePaige of Newton and Mr. Leo Frame were callers at the office Friday last. Mr. LePaige asked that the paper be sent for one year. Mrs. Walton and Miss D. L. Sims both on Wabash Avenue were among the successful prize winners in the Beacon Contest last week. Mrs. Buckner and Rev.

Won't you let us do our duty? Mr. Gay spent quite a little while of Wednesday evening wih us at The Star office. Atty. C. R. Sowers of 303 Schweiter Building proves himself to be a Real Good Samaritan. Armistice Day as the Giant Parade was forming, alone in the 2nd block on North Main Street, sat the only Negro Gold Star Mother, Mrs. Gossett the mother of Arthur Gossett, the only Negro soldier from Wichita, to pay the supreme sacrifice while in France. Up to a few minutes before the parade started there had been no provision for a car for Mother Gossett Atty. Sowers took it upon himself to go and get this old mother and seat her in his fine Crdalas car and drive her in the process on. Such kindness as this has not been duplicated often here. Now Mr. Sowers, we the American Legion and every Negro citizen appreciate your act of kindness way beyond expression and we too, will say that you shall not lose anything by it. SWELL DINNER PARTY. Mr. J. W. Wilson entertained at a most beautiful dinner party at Mr. Chub Trout's for Mrs. Lydia Ladd, Miss Mattle Graves and Mr. Russell White. The dinner was most excellent. Eight courses served. Our people should patronize Mrr. Trout, he certainly renders service. Mr. Dave Brown of Chicago, gave us there the best we've had in Wichita. Menu—was grand. Dr. Barnett graced the party by sending six beautiful Chrysanthemums for the occasion, for which Mr. Wilson so very grateful. Each one left speaking in highest praise of Mr. Wilson's ability to entertain and advising the girls to get acquainted with Mr. Wilson. Mr. John B. Hartfield of Neosho, Mo., is visiting in the city.

Have you been served in Chub Trout's Don't Miss It Cafe lately? He is looking for you to drop in. The best in the culinary line is to be had there. We have two members of the Negro trainmen's grievance committee in our city; they are Mr. Sandy Elsinger chairman and Mr. Abel Robinson. These men have held their positions on this board for several years; both have been with the Frisco R. R., for a number of years. Capt. "Hutch" seemed to give the Negro Ex-soldiers inspiration; they made their best showing Armistico Day, so say the critics. ATTENTION! Ex Service Men Attention. This coming year the American Legion will be called upon to participate in many big things. Will you be one of the Legions who helped do the job or will you let $3.40 per year keep you in the back-ground? Are you sorry of service you rendered your country in the greatest of all wars? There will be many a thing done for us if we but put up a solid front and say we want our share of the benefits derived from organization. Where this unity is, there is strength.

(By The Associated Negro Press) ENCENADA, LOWER CALIF. Nov. 18-A Negro State in this section of Lower California is among the probabilities of the near future. At least this is the prediction of a group of enterprising Colored men who recently organized The Lower California Mexican land and development Company. 21,300 acres of land have been purchased by this company near here. It is a rich, dark soil land highly suitable for agricultural purposes and the climate is the most salubrious in the Western Hemisphere. In fact, according to the best known authorities in this section this Negro Company has been more than fortunate in the selection of the site they have made for ttheir project. No winter, an average temperature of not more than 79 degrees the year round, make the proposed colony an ideal proposition from the very start. The scheme as announced by Hugh E. Macbeth, well known Negro Attorney, is to place at least 200 families of industrious Negroes on a big block of agricu.tural land below the border and permit them to acquire possessions of their farms on long-term payments. The company was incorporated for $250,000 and Mr. McBeth states that virtually the entire issue of stock was taken up by wealthy Negroes in this city. The colonization company has already sent several families to "Little Libtria," he says and an active campaign for colonists will be made during the next six months. The colony lies sixty-eight miles South of San Diego, thirty-seven miles northeast of hers and five miles inland from the coast. It is believed that 70% of the tract is irrigable. It is flanked by Mountains of the coast range. Negroes Buy Land. This tract of farm land was purchased by Los Angeles Negroes in 1918 and since that time has been used largely for wheat growing. Complete soil and water tests have been made and the company is now ready to break the land up into units of forty acres and multiples thereof for the benefit of homeseekers. In the opinion of Mr. Troy, who leads the company, the oil outlook is quite, as promising as the agricultural future of the district in question. He declares that wells of good water can be secured at a depth of from six to twenty feet, and that the supply seems inexhaustible. The lands lie alonggsde the Mexican highway leading to San Diego. Roads are not good but the company hopes to improve them when colonists arrive in large numbers. The land is too near the coast for good cotton culture.. The best results will be secured by growing live stock and such crops as walnuts, deciduous and citrus fruits, alfalfa, potatoe and melons. Next spring, officers of the company, with several prominent Mexicans from this section will make a tour of the United States, visiting many cities, where wealthy Negroes reside, to lay the facts before them and secure their moral and financial support for the undertaking. "It is not our purpose to establish this colony as a retreat for, poverty-stricken Negroes," says Mr. McBeth. "The country is raw and undeveloped and it will take cracker-jack farmers to bring out that best that is in it, but there are wonderful possibilities hidden there for the man who has a little livestock and a little machinery and a great deal of determination. "Probably as many as fifty Negro families will go from southern California to the colony, but our present aim is to go into the southern states and take from there to Mexico the best Colored farmers the South has produced." Mr. MacBeth thinks the Negro colony of Lower California will serve as an entering wedge for the White man in Mexico. He holds the opinion that as the Negro gains foothold there and proves his value as a citizen, the Mexican will be more friendly to American capital. "That's why I am giving my best efforts to this colonization plan. It appeals to me as being a wonderful opportunity for Colored people." Tuskegee Remembered In a Will. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. Nov. 18—Principal Moton announced today that he had received notice that the late Mrs. Betty Williams of Flemington, New Jersey has recently died leaving a will which provided for Tuskegee Institute to receive from her estate approximately $2500. During her lifetime Mrs. Williams was an admirer of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and on several occasions had given evidence of her interest in work of Tuskegee Institute.

Nov. 13—The Howard University football eleven, despite the absence of its two star players, "Bull Dog" Williams and Molson, who were injured in the West Virginia Collegiate Institute game, Oct. 29th, gave defeat to the Shaw University (Raleigh, N. C.) team, Saturday Nov. 5th, by a score of 21 to 0. Shaw was by far the strongest aggregation to visit Howard this season, and the account of the game might have reed differently were it not for Howard's defensive teamwork. Howard's victory over Shaw leaves her still unscored upon for the reason. It was "Blue and White's" fifth game for the season and the last to be played at home.

Among these will be a representative of the Chicago Defender, and other publications. There will also be a corp of moving picture photographers, who will make pictures of all interesting events. Major W. H. York, Manager of the tour, who also represents Dr. Jernagin of Washington and Dr. L. G. Jordan of this city, stated to the A. N. P. representative at their office, 701 South 19th St., that it has been found that the ship will accommodate at least 100 more persons than were at first contemplated. These reservations are being rapidly taken by people from all over the United States, who are anxious to make a study of Africa at first hand on a strictly educational tour. The cruise will last forty-five days. Lincoln Enjoys a Sweet Revenge. (By The Associated Negro Press) HAMPTON, VA. Nov. 18—Lincoln defeated Hampton on Saturday, November 5, 13 to 0, before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a game on Lincoln's campus. Not only was there a large number of Lincolnites present, but Hamptonians were there from all the surrounding country. The day was perfect football weather for both players and spectators. A high wind blowing across the field at noon, had somewhat subsided by the time the game was called at two-thirty. The Pennsylvania team made history by defeating Hampton for the first time on its home grounds. 'Victory was sweet revenge for the Lincolnitra' disappointment of last year, when Hampton won by a similar score. SUPPLEMENT=THE.NEGRO STAR. (By The Negro Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C.

Mitchell. Dr. Mitchell was chosen chairman and Dr. H. H. Kerr, vice chairman. Dr. E. A. Balloch, Dean of the Howard University School of Medicine, was appointed by the Association for the Control of Cancer a member of the local committee to endeavor to arouse the interest of the public in the early diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

The entire week of October 20th to November 5th, has been devoted to a discussion of the treatment of cancer. American Woodmen In Healthy Condition By The Negrin Associated Press DENVER, COLO. Nov. 18—Examiners, representing states in which it operates have just completed a most thorough examination into the affairs of the American Woodmen, Denver, Colorado. The Society was found to be in a most healthy financial condition. The Supreme Camp has assets close to Eight Hundred Thousand and the combined assets of the Supreme Camp total a little over One Million Dollars. The actual valuation of the Society's business gave it at 104% rating. The Society was found to have investments to the amount of nearly Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars and Liberty bonds in excess of Thirty Five Thousand. The examiners were unanimous in the opinion that the American Woodmen is one of the leading Fraternals among Negroes and Supreme Commander White was conceded by them to be one of the leading Fraternals among Negroes. Raleigh Drops Into Limelight. (Bv The Associated Negro Press) RALEIGH, N. C. Nov. 18—Raltigh stepped into the limelight as possessor of one of the most useful structures devoted to Negro enterprise in the country, during the wwetk of the big Negro fair in that city, when the hotel part of the new $200, 000 Lightner Arcade was thrown open to public patronage. The structure is a most unique combination of Business and office building, hotel theatre. The main structure is three stories high, the front portion of the second floor being occupied by business offices. The top floor of the office building is an immense auditorium, available either for dancing, rehearsals or public meetings. The whole structure was both designed and built by C. E. and R. H. Lightner, the brothers who own it, they being practical builders and contractors. A most significant feature of the building is that it is in part financed with advances from North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, Durham, N. C., the lrgst concern of the kind in the race. This is the third amusement venture to be financed by these wide awake investors, who have by this policy made possible to our definite knowledge two of the biggest theatrical projects of recent years. The Lincoln eleven won a well-deserved victory. Lincoln outplayed Hampton in every department of the game. Lincoln used the famous "Dartmouth shift" effectively at times in making off-tackie plays and end rurs. Lincoln also completed several well executed forward passes. Alsbic Club Gleanings.
