THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.33 KANSAS NEGRO IS EDITOR OF PAPER IN BIGGEST CITY KANSAS NEGRO IS EDITOR OF PAPER IN BIGGEST CITY Once Cattle Boy John W. Harris Rises to Alderman Job In Gotham WORKED HIS OWN WAY. New York—From cattle boy to city solon and newspaper publisher—traveling altogether "on his own"—this epitomizes the career of John W. Harris, the only Negro member-elect of the New York Board of Alderman, which will be seated January 1. Born in Topeka, Kansas, and reared in the saddle on a large cattle ranch, Harris easily felt the urge for higher things. The little circumstances of being broke did not prevent him from coming East. He worked his way upon his arrival, he also found ways and means of working his way thru Harvard University, being graduated in 1907 and attending Harvard Law Law School, two years. Washington Helped. Encouraged by the managing editor of a Boston newspaper for which he had written special articles, Harris determined to abandon the law for journalism, and at the instigation of Booker T. Washington, came to New York, to start a newspaper for his own race. He founded and now is editor and owner of the New York News, a paper confined largely to colored people, but covering the local field. Two years ago he determined to seek office as alderman from the Harlem "black belt." He was elected and his work for the interests of his community earned him re-election at the recent municipal election. —Clipping. Gets Life in Slaying of Brother-in-Law.

Rannavalona lighted the first match when he preached the sermon from Psalm 126:3; The Lord has done great things for us whereof we are glad. He preached a praiseworthy sermon. At which time Brother J. W. Henderson who had charge of the basement and what was going on there, gave notice for us to come that way, we obeyed and our appetites were very desirable of sensual gratification. We were seated to a steaming dinner of every thing in the eatable line. There were many fed and much fragments remained. At night we were entertained by a very excelent program rendered by Sister Maude Tomlim. It was acknowledged by all that it was indeed an enjoyable day. Our Sunday services were good.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Dec. 2, 1921. Mexico is Land of Hope and Promise-Writes Negro Physician Who is Investigating Conditions in Sinaloa, Mexico. The Record is in receipt of a letter this week from Dr. M. D. Wakefield local Negro physician, who recently left here as a representative of the Negroes of Oklahoma on a committee made up of Negro members from several neighboring states that was sent to Mexico to investigate conditions in that country. i The letter is very interesting as Dr. Wakefield has evidently secured first-hand information. He describes Mexico as being the land of hope, rich in natural resources beyond the dreams of avarice, undeveloped and awaiting the backing of American capital. As to the political conditions of the republic to the South, he says, there seems to be a spirit of calm, sweeping over the country "as the dove with the olive branch has winged its way into capital of almost every nation upon the earth." As to the economical conditions, he says they are as good as in any country struggling under similar conditions. Labor is cheap, he says, while commodities are high but he says this is due to a lack of utilization of the latent forces within the republic. Relative to sociological conditions he states there is no such sentiment as a North or a South with all of the perplexing race problems and that all men are really and truly equal. The letter follows: San Blast, Sinaloa, Mexico, July, 29, 1921. Editor The Record: As a member of a delegation or a Commission sent from Oklahoma, Kansas and California to study the climatic, agricultural, political, economical and sociological conditions of the Mexican republic, beg to submit the following report: I find every condition of climate here that we find in the southern part of the United States, having its modifications by the giant Sierra Madres Mountains, which run zig-zagingly from the southern part of North America and dips into the Pacific Ocean at Mazat and, gathers vapor which falls periodically on the evergreen hills and fertile valleys between consisting of millions of acres of level sandy loam. Also, by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, which keeps the southwestern coast veiled in moisture. These valleys are interlaced by many meandering rivers, creeks and tiny streams, having their origin in the Sierra Madres and emptying into the sea. Agricultural Conditions. The agricultural conditions of the republic and especially of the southwestern part is at a low ebb; much of which is due to ten years of the most bloody revolution that ever stained the historical pages of the Western Hemisphere's history. Everywhere is to be seen an epitome of the struggle of these simple, but pure hearted people. Old men look sorrow ridden; upon the brow of the young men is to be seen an index of horror; while middle age women reta'n their youth with a remarkable splendor. In the war many of them lost husbands, sons, daughters and vast estates and when they are thus reminded, showers burst from the saturter clouds of grief and embitters their souls with the most intense sorrow. The young women look innocent and pretty—many have gone abroad, studied and have become mistresses of the feminine art. They are the pride of their fathers, their brothers hope and the shrine for which young Mexican manhood will gladly make the supreme sacrifice; for they are to become the mothers of the men who are to make this the greatest republic in Latin America. Truly, the agricultural prospects of this country are indescribable. Lands are cheap, level and fertile (agricultural) with railroads and oceanic transportation, connecting North America with Mexico and Mexico with the Orient. As to the political condition: There seems to be a spirit of calm sweeping over this country, as the dove with the olive branch has flopped its wings in every capital. Every politi- cal faction seems to be pleased with President Obregon, under his broad statesmanship Mexico will soon take its place in the councils of the great nations of the world. Labor Cheap. As to the economical conditions: One can live here as cheap as in other civilized countries under like condition. Labor is cheap, because it is as a rule unskilled. Commodities are higher because of a lack of utilization of the latent and active forces within the confines of this country. I saw a Mexican populace come into San Bast, with a pail of water which had sediments of gold in it. It was found in a tiny stream in the vicinity, Mexico furnishes over half of the gold for the entire world, second in silver, abounds in all the ores utilized by man in the mining industry which is in its infancy. Mexico abounds in fruits game and fish, such as are found in other tropical countries of the globe it is not infested with diseases such as are common in most tropical parts of the globe. All Are Equal. As to the sociological conditions: Unlike the United States there is no North or South, with its perplexing race problem to mar the sentiment of happy and contented humanity and cast its blighting pall of death over unborn generations and to prevent the intentions of good government among the sons of men. Here every man or race of men has or have the same chance before the bar of opportunity to work out his or their salvation in peace and harmony with other members of the human family. The door is not closed to any one who will to have a seat in the Mexican hall of fame. I stopped at the Hotel Alimos, in the city of Navajo, State of Sonora, where there was a recruiting station met some of the highest officials of the Mexican army, among whom there were men representing almost every race of men who live in the republic of Mexico. There is no class legislation, such as is common in some of the more favorite republics. However, there are two classes of people in this country. The Castillian or aristocratic class the peon or low class. The Castillian can descend from his royal throne to become as common as worthless dirt and the peon can, by raising his social status, by refinement and cu ture, ascend to the envied position of the mighty. In conclusion, will say that Mexico stands most in need of American capitalist, who will unselfishly aid them in their struggle for agricultural, political, economical and moral development. —Clipping.

ARE YOU AWARE? ```markdown ``` That to be too easily satisfied sometimes portrays low ideals? We must come to the realization by and by that after all, the best is the most inexpensive. In other words, we must lay stress on quality rather than quantity. That business and professional men of our group have yet to learn that if they are to secure a just proportion of the patronage of their people, they must render more efficient and a larger quantity of service than the other fellow for the same money? The idea of pathetically lowering the corners of one's mouth in evidence of the fact he is a Negro and on the face of that fact merits your quality money is all "bosh." So keep up your standard of efficiency by studying your particular line and it will serve as a wonderful majestic power. That little Mary Neely is the youngest teacher we know of, and too she may be the smallest if Mrs. Roberson is larger than she? That Miss Burney considers batching pretty good sport, but she reconsiders when it comes to getting a square meal prepared by mother? Tis useless, to announce that she spent Thanksgiving with mother in Hutchinson. That since Thanksgiving didn't afford enough time, Miss Scott and others will be delighted to greet that two weeks Christmas period in order that they too may go home and get a few square ones.

Mrs. Rogers, feeding her poultry, noticed this hen clucking as if calling her chicks, and was astounded to see a small black kitten ship from under the right wing. The kitten refuses to abandon its shelter, and its foster mother seems quite content to house it under her wing. Makes New Record. (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 2—The 3rd annual convention of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority will be held in the Engineering building of the University of Pennsylvania, December 27-29 inclusive. This is the first time that a Colored Sorority has held its convention within the walls of a white University. It is indicative both of the standing of Delta Sigma Theta members at the University of Pennsylvania a and the spirit of that school that this privilege was granted. To the Convention will come delegates from coast to coast. Delta Sigma Theta was the first of our Greek letter societies to form a chapter on the Pacific coast. On February 7th, 1921, Kappa Chapter was established to the University of California Berkeley, Cal. A delegate from this chapter as well as from each of the other fourteen chapters of the sorority will be present at the Convention. Philadelphia looks forward with great pleasure to the reception of at least 100 delegates. Delta women from the leading colleges of the country. PRICE, FIVE CENTS CHARGES BRITISH BRUTALLY KILLED INDIAN CAPTIVES. CHARGES BRITISH BRUTALLY KILLED INDIAN CAPTIVES. Poison Gas Used By Troops To Get Rid of Prisoners. Is Assertion BOMES HURLED IN CAR Washington, Nov. 27-The sixty-Moplah captives, reported in dispatches from India last week to have suffocated in a railroad car in which they were being transferred to a place of detention "were deliberately murdered with poisin gas" Sellendram Ghose, director of the Americas Commission to Promote Self-Government in India, declared in a statement issued here today. "These natives were in a box carload of more than a hundred" the statement said, "after they had been locked in the car, British troops, according to information I have received, threw in gas bombs and when the train reached its destination, nearly two days later, axty-four of the prisoners were dead and the others were in so deplorable a condition that several have died. Another example of the 'civilizing' methods of the Brit'sh in the East, but one that is sure to lead to terrible reprisals. Mr. Ghose declared that "in sending the Prince of Wales to India, England is playing her last card in a desperate effort to maintain her rule there." Junction City, News. Special to The Negro Star:— There has recently been attached to the Second Baptist Church of Junction City, Kansas, a new auxiliary, "The Brother-Hoods." Under the leadership of their officers:—H. E. Marshall, President; L. N. Grimes, Secretary; and Thos. Smith, Treasurer, the Brother-Hood gave their first entertainment serving Thanksgiving dinner. They served O'possum and Turkey thru-out the day to a large attendance; and a snappy program began at 8:00 o'clock. The Second Baptist Quartett which appeared on program, proved to be a sensational hit. Mrs. Williams of Chicago, who recently became Mrs. P. C. Cottry of Junction, and Miss DeMoss, a school Miss of Manhattan, were introduced and gave very encouraging remarks to the Brother-Hood. Mr. Cottry also gave some very encouraging words. The dinner and entertainment which netted the Brother-Hood $50 00, is said to be one of the grandest ever put on by the Second Baptist Church. H. E. Marshall, Church Editor. Nearing The Cure For Tuberculosis. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Dec. 2—"Science is coming much nearer to the discovery of a cure for tuberculosis," Dr. Lydia M. Dewitt of Ricketts's laboratory, University of Chicago, told members of the American Academy of Sciences at the closing session of the Academy at the University last Tuesday. "Experiments for the last 7 years show methylene blue dye destroys tuberculosis germs," said Dr. DeWitt, "Certain derivatives of mercury have the same effect. We are experimenting with ways of combining these destructive elements, but so far have been unsuccessful. When combined rightly I am sure a cure for tuberculosis will have been found." --- Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for the floral offerings and kindness mingled with sympathy also for the use of automobiles, during the illness and death of our beloved niece and cousin, Edith Thomas Allen. Mr. and Mrs. Wm Bowers, Mr. Richard Watkins, Mr. Willis Carter, Master Burnell Carter, brother Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Mathes, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Gay, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mathes. --- Ed for Black Dispat ... The delegation sent by the Industrial League left July 21st as scheduled, for the purpose of making first hard investigation of the states of Sonora and Sinaloa and beg leave to state that after spending some considerable time in looking over the various cities and towns and fertile fields along the railroads, leaving Navioa as our base we penetrated the interior where nature has provided bountiful v for a people whose life and habits art simple and childlike no ore can but wonder at the handicraft of nature, and its all-wise provision for those who trust him. Here we found fertile soil, beautiful streams abounding with fish of all kinds that are common to fresh water. As we proceeded farther the jack rabbit showed his head the cotton tail, the fox squirre, the turkey, the ducks up on the lakes, the geese, and to our surprise herds of deer greeted us by the way. Great herds of cattle, mules, horses, donkeys, sheep, goats and hogs are everywhere in evidence, grazing upon the hillside and valley upon green grass, and now and then a Mexican village where water and information could be obtained. Our guide was familiar with the country and language which made our travel easy. It was not uncommon to see groves of bananas, oranges, lemons, and cotton growing on trees. The Mexicans everywhere hailed us with joy and made us welcome. At night they shared with us their tartles, queso, and lech de cheba, huvos and gallinas and many instances tequilla and mescal for the stomach's sake. The ranch houses are large and commodious, made of brick (un like our) which is the center of village life, with many small adobe houses near by. It never frosts in this region therefore no need for beds, cots and hides are used insterd. After passing the night in the arms of "Morpheus" to be awakened at early dawn by the braying of the proverbial (ass) mule, the first evidence of Mexican life is children and more children. They truly believe in large families, no race suicide. The men are gentle and kind. The farming industry we find in its infancy due to the fact that there are only a few small land holders in the Republic of Mexico. Ranches range from 5,000 to 500,000 acres. These land holders are vastly rich and must sell their holdings in bulk or not at all. The peons or poorer classes, unlike the American Indians, did not receive from the government any land, therefore he has nothing to sell or to give, but seems to enjoy his simple life and is content. This land will produce everything that is known to grow, but Mexico gets most of her supplies from foreign countries, when it could be raised within his own commonwealth. There is a ready market for everything produced by the farmer and at a good price. Mexico needs farmers, as has been stated previously by our reporter, Dr. Wakefield. There is no discrimination or race caste to be seen; each and every man has a chance. The country at this time is full of prospectors and tourists, and it is not strange to meet parties on donkeys with pick and shovel and camping pack, their object gold. The mountans and hill'side are underlid with it. Occasionally the "wildcatter" is found seeking new pools of oil where it has not been found, for oil is there. We find the Jew, the German the French, the Chinese and the Japanese helping to bring this country, that they may be the men of influence and power tomorrow. As far as we could ascertain this was the only delegation of our group that was ever seen prospecting in this section of the country, and we were held in highest esteem, encouraged, assisted and aided by the high and the low, including governors, generals, and commanding officers of the army and the railroads also wants us to come. The one word from all: "We will make your stay in Merlco profitable." It will be impossible to give detail account of our findings here, but the same will be given later in detail. This delegation with one accord reached this conclusion that the southern part of Sonora in the district of Almus, along the S. P. Railroad would be the most desirable spot for our group with Navajo as our base, a town of seven or eight thousand population. Persons desiring further information may write Dr. A. H.

Great Money Saving Sale at the Fair Store in December. ```markdown ``` THERE must be a sense of racial pride aroused in our race before we may hope to overcome. How this may be accomplished is the problem now puzzling the brain of the race. Back the men who are doing things for the race is the word. A Negro newspaper is better than a mess of public scandal; and well it is from a preacher, but a single Negro making good on his job no matter what it may be, is sometimes more effective than many sermons in lifting our race. Let us appreciate the least thing accomplished by a black man and treasure it in our hearts as the gift of God to our race and an exhibit on of the tangible assets which make us feel proud that we are Negroes. A failure of Congress to enact-the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill, at the Extra Session has not been impressive nor is it indicative of the concern of the majority side in Congress that would be expected in view of the attitude assumed, and address of our President in Alabama, recently; yet the forces of the Negro Race will not cease to agitate logically and with due consideration until that measure is a law in the United States. PEACE and Disarmament Conference nor yet the establishing of an International League of Nations will ever solve the problems of humanity nor eliminate the clashing of armed forces until the fundamental principle that all men irregardless of co or must have a voice in the deliberations, is the first plank in the platform upon which the diplomats assemble.

Y. M. C. A. Will Soon Have Secretary In Africa (By The Associated Negro Press) New York City, Dec. 2—A feature of the forthcoming twentieth national conference at Cincinnati. December 1 to 4, of the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian Associations of North America will be the announcement that Max Yergen has started for Africa as the first permanent secretary of the Y. M. C. A., to that continent. Yergan sails November 26th. Yergan is a native of North Carolina (Raleigh) and an honor graduate in 1914 of Shaw University, where he played on the 'varsity eleven' and baseball nine and was class president and president of the Student's Union. Although Max Yergan will not be thirty years of age until next year, the story of his life is a vertable romance. It is so, his friends point out, because the passionate ambition of his life has been to serve his fe lowen. At a Y. M. C. A., conference of Colored students at King's Mountain, N. C., during his college days Max and some of his friends climbed to the peak of King's Mountain and there after praying together each one dedicated himself to go wherever he believed God wished him to go in work of Christian service. Three of these young men, including Yergan, have since been called into tasks of Christian leadership. At the International Convention of the Y. M. C. A., in Cleve and, in 1916, Max heard an appeal made for volunteers to go to East Africa, where the work involved extraordinary hardships. He reached there after a brief stay in India, where he made such an impression upon the Y. M. C. A., officials that he was urged to return there eventually for permanent service. He finally reached German East Africa, on board a troop ship, and there served with both white and colored soldiers for many months, suffering many hardships and being laid low several times by sun stroke and fever.

They expect to remain in South Africa six years before returning. TOYS On easy payments at this store—or discount for cash—small payment reserves anything in our large stock of toys, dolls, wagons.
