THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AN ALLEGED NEGRO RIOTER WHO FLED SOUTHLAND FINDS FRIENDS IN CANADA Vol.13, No.40 Barristers Delving Into Ancient Court Records to Find Grounds to Keep Man Demanded by North Carolina on British Soil. TORONTO, ONT., Jan. 17—Time-yellowed documents of "slave trade" days today are being thumbed industriously by Canadian officials in their search for a precedent in international law on which to decide the case of Matthew Bullock, American Negro, whose deportation on a charge of inciting a riot is demanded by North Carolina authorities. In delving into the ancient court records, the Canadian barristers have found at least one historica near-parallel to the Bullock case—that of an American Negro s'ave, Anderson, whose extradition was demanded in 1862 on the ground he had slain his master, an Ohioan named Diggs. Bullock's cause is being pleaded by Canadian members of his own race and by public officials who demand that the Negro is given every advantage of the immigration laws and the international courts' in order that Canada may continue his haven from North Carolina authorities. Anderson's case was pleaded by Abraham Lincoln, then president of the United States, and by British abolitionists who based their defense of the Negro on the ground that "no slave can remain one when he touches British soil." In 1862 American authorities demanded Anderson's extradition on the ground that he had escaped from bondage in Ohio, and, when about to be caught, had murdered his master, Diggs. When the Negro was caught in Canada, the old "fugative save law" still was in effect, but sentiment in favor of the Negroes' claim to Then President Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation striking the shackles of all American slaves, but, although it strengthened the British sentiment in favor of Anderson, President Lincoln's act did not affect the Ashburton treaty of 1812, under which Great Britain, including Canada, agreed with the United States to surrender reciprocally, all persons charged with grave non-political offenses. It was under this treaty that American officials pressed their demands for Anderson's extradition. Preliminary trial of Anderson was held at Toronto. Two of the three justices decided against him and eventually the trial was carried to England on an appeal. Here the abo'ionists stepped in with their plea that no "slave remains one when he touches British soil" and Anderson was set free. Canadian officials do not believe that the Anderson case will govern the outcome of the proceedings against Bullock although they point to it as another notable instance where all the resources of the British law, combined with a wave of public sentiment, were invoked by the spectacle of an American Negro seeking haven in the land across the border. Bullock was arrested at Hamilton, Ont., charred with having instigated a riot in North Carolin. Alleged by American officials to have crossed the border in March 1921, to evade tria', he already has been examined by the immigration officer at Hamilton, enl ordered deported, but has appealed to the minister of immigration.

Majors Funeral Sermon preached by the pastor. Afterwhich Rev. White made a short talk concerning the many good things he knew about Deacon Brown. Rev. Cartwright took as a text Neh. 9:3; "I am doing a great work and cannot come down; why should the work cease whilst I come down to you?" Subject: "Great Work" Although good works which are the fruits of faith and follow after justification, cannot put away our sins and induce the security of God's judgements; yet are they pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ and spring out of a true and living faith may be as evidently known as a tree is known by its fruits. The movement of the soul along the faith of duty under the influence of Holy Love to God, constitutes what We call good works." The sermon showed how impossible it was for those emplanted into Christ by a true faith, not to bring forth fruits of thankfulness. You never will be saved with works; but let me tell you most solemnly that you never will be saved with out works and then though we must be judged by and according to our actions yet we shall not be saved by them. The sermon showed it mattered not how many good things a man does he steps out of the way God would have him walk, he will, like Dea. Brown miss the greatest blessings God in this world gives men; as Moses, Solomon and many other of the great men of God diJ, Solo, Bro. E. Tolbert. Afterwhich, R. H.

That little grains of powder, Little drops of paint. Make the Folk's Complexions Just what they aint? That 'tis said, and is true apparently, that if you want to hide anything rom our group of people, just put it in a newspaper—he'll never find it? That is an awful reflection upon the intelligence of our people. Altho, ometime we may be provoked to the point of be lef in this matter, thinking people will readily see that there's more prose or poetry in the statement than truth; for our group is just as ware as any other group now-a-days. so you need no more think that an article is being hidden when you have t put in the newspaper. A step aloft. That wonderful things are happening these days? The other day a little girl about 10 years' old at L'Ouverture complained of a little stinging ensation; upon examination a needle hat she was supposed to have swallowed when 2 years' old was discovered protruding thru the skin. Trat the old heads had better wake up and look out; for the young generation is awakening to progressive activities? It is wonderfully gratifying o note that the boys are thinking. That frequent tests with our boys should be made in logical thinking and reformation of ideals? There has been a time when of a logica, question as put to one group of Negro boys they wouldn't simply grin and yawn out 'ou-on-know-sir' or hadn't thought bout it. On the other hand, if the same questions were put to a more intelligent and better trained group of boys they would be seen scratching their heads or their chins resting in Until they get to this place in life their hands really thinking on the probable solution of the question, here they really think independently here will be no hopes for a better condition being made. That Christian Brotherhood now-a-days seems to be the out-standing actor for the c-arifying of the present caotic condition? That almost all speakers of today dvocate a better relationship between the races thru the acquisition of Christ, without whom there can be a real settlement of disorders in our land? ister Raimey, took charge of lesson, subject, "God In Our Lives." This roved to be a very interesting lesson as the young people's took more part in this lesson than any lessons previous. It was very inspiring to see the interest that the young people manifested in this lesson. The instructor taught 40 minutes; then turned service back to acting president. The young people then presented an excellent song service which was enjoyed by all present.

FIVE CENTS Dyer Bill Fight Is On WASHINGTON, Jan. 17—House Democrats were aided today in their fight against the Dyer anti-lynching bill by Representative Reavis., Republican, Nebraska, who declared it was evident that some members of congress sworn to uphold the constitution, were ready to "ravlish" it. He urged defeat of the bill, asserting its passage would be an unconstitutional usurpation of power by the federal government. All afternoon the bill carrying eavy penalties for persons partici- lating in lynchings and for officials who fall through negligence, to pre- ent them was alternstely commended and flayed. —Clipping.

Stevens and wife are yet smiling over the many nice presents they received Xmas. The deacons of his church gave him a very nice hat for Xmas. The following gentlemen remembered Rev. Stevens with a large, dressed goose and a quart of oysters: Messrs Arthur Grubbs, John Bass, John Dennis, Harry Grubbs, Raymond Cartr, Joe Cris, Cleveland Pulley. Mrs. Western, Mr. and Mrs. Eves of Liberty, Mo., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Western during the Kmas. Rev. L. D. Stevens our pastor came us about four months ago when we had no reader and the church was very much in need of a spiritual advisor; since his coming here our church has taken on new life. Thirteen persons have been added to our church; all worth-while christian men and women. The pastor organized a modern B. Y. P. U., and we are now looking forward to a prosperous and spiritual year. Our church is going onward and upward and we are putting behind us the little difference that has been such a hindrance to our spiritual progress. Every department of the church is doing fine. The official board is composed of men of Christian character and business ability. The Sinking Fund has Deacon C. H. Williams, Sec. Treas. the right man in the right place. Our S. School is increasing every Sunday with Bro. Lee Smith, a very intelligent young man as Supt. lie and his corps of well trained teachers are to be commended. We expect nothing but success in our B. Y. P. U., with Mrs. C. H. Williams as president. The Mission Circle with Sister Gorden, president is bringing things to pass and doing a great work for the church. Rev. Fagan of Coffeyville was with us Sunny and preached for us Sunday night. His subject was:—"Creat all your cares upon Him for He caretet for you." Rev.

After a great awakening must need come a great understanding. A part of this understanding is our Convention. The last meeting of which assembled at District No 50 on the first of the New Year (1922) followed the usual programme with some improvements. Rev. M. S. Jones of Friend, d livered a wonderfully, interesting and convincing sermon on "Reality." On account of the severe weather two of the Sunday Schools were not represented. The most of the members on program showed talent and close application. It was considered a good plan to subscribe a distance-destroyer in the form of a Henry Ford for Rev. Jones to increase his capacity for work. The great problem of Western Kansas is distance. The only solution is iron and gasoline. The officers for 1921 22 generally re-elected from 1920 are as follows: President, Deacon W. E. Ross, Vice President, George Watson, Secretary, Bernice Nevens, Treasure-Secretary, Mr. B. J.

CHURCHES The Second Baptist Church closed a revival meeting Sunday night. The pastor, Rev. R. W. Williams, conducted the preaching services. The local pastors attended well. Six souls were added to the Church during the effort. Four of these were converts, the other two were already Christians. The converts were all young people, possessing splendid talent, both musical and literary. Three of them are High School students of brilliant scholastic attainments. The Church is justly proud and truly thankful for these young people. Rev. Hogan of Hutchinson, was a visitor Sunday. The Sunday School at 9:45 a. m, and B. Y. P. U., at 6:30 p. m, were well attended. The pastor's closing of the revival meeting, Sunday night, was truly powerful. It impressed the necessity of salvation upon the sinners, and was spiritual food for the Christians. His text was "flow shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" Heb 2:3 The C. M. E Church—The Sunday School was conducted by Miss Ruth Jordan, both the Superintendent and his Assistant unable to be present. Morning service was conducted by the pastor, Rev, C. H.

I have recently returned from a trip in the far North and East where the snow was twelve and fourteen inches deep and where the thermometer registered twenty-six below zero. This point was Mason City, Iowa. In spite of the weather the people turned out there to services with out any hesitation. Our service there on the 8th was just splendid. I met some of the Fort Scott, Kansans out there and was happily entertained by them and I wish to note here their names: Mr. and Mrs. Lizzie Foster, Miss Clara Cheney, their daughter The above names were the hostess of the grand repast. Mr. Jas. Steven, wife and daughter; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bailey and son and myself were the recipients. It was a very enjoyable supper it made me feel like I was back in Kansas.

Morning services at 11 o'clock, at this service announcements for the week were made by Prof. E. M. Barnes. Scripture Lesson was read by Assistant prator Greene. Our pastor chose for the subject of his text, “Decision.” He reasoned strongly with us on taking a “post- t'on” and in his usual and impressive way, cave the unsaved man women and child to know that It might be too Iate to make his or her decision tomorrow; but it must be made today. The doors of the church were opened and 15 made the final decision and took a position to stand for Jesus. The revivai is moving along nicely. A good!y number ere attending the prayer services each evening at 7:00 Pp. m., a'80 enjoy the Bible study by Rev. B. C. Rannavalona. The Junior and Senior B. Y. P. Us., held their usual interesting services with especially the younger people. At the evening services the pastor chose for his text: “The Unpardona- able Sin;” which was very impress- ive and stirred the unsaved in the tear of the church to sce their condi | tion and meny walked down and con- feased the'r Saviour Jesus Christ. Never before in the history of ca. vary Baptist Church has there been launched a spiritual campa'gn as has been in the last two weeks by the | new pastor, Rev. J. W. Hayes, who has truly proven to his laymen that be is aware of the church's duty in the community as being something more than {o erect a mrgnificent for the worship of the Christians and the world of sinners at her door going to hel and we Christiins foldmg our arms saying, ‘there is nothing to do.’ For O my brother, the world Is dying for a little bit of Jesua’ love brought to them by some loving Christian | brother or sister who {s interested in their soul’s salvation.

Can God depend upon you to preach His Gospel by the way you live apd the good you do in the community in which you live, Rev. | Hayes has been very ably assisted by the assistant pastor Rev. J.! F.

The contest that Is on in ou Sunday School+is causing much en- thusiasm and en increase in attend. ance.

The early Sunday morn'ng prayer meetings at St, Paul are being well attended and seems to be rn estab- lished duty of quite a number of the faithful members. The Sunday School was also we'l attended.

HOLDING an ordinary position never did and never will give any individual the right to be classed as race leader and aspire for high consideration in the religious and educational circles of the race. ONE of the most successful and useful Orders of the State is the Federation of Colord Women's Clubs with Mrs. Cliff. L. Childs, president. Newton, is preparing to give it one of the best entertainmen. s it has ever had. THE Noon-Day Meeting at the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., under the Several Committees, Promoting the "Thrift Week" have been well attended. The Crowning Meeting will be held Sunday at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Mr. A. A. Hyde will address this meeting. THE organizing of various religious forces to do practical mission work in the city can do nothing but good if proper y conducted without regard to the nonessential ideas and ideals that so often characterize Negro movements. If a narrow basis or motive is to serve as the impellent it is far better for humanity that such projects be lost sight of without further effort. THE general revivals in this city are accomplishing a great work for God and race. The part'cluar forces that are bringing young men and women to, Christ cannot be over estimated relative to the good they are doing to bring about the best interests of the race. SAVE THE YOUNG MAN AND WOMEN for in their association with the Christ, rest the future success of the race. It is a wonder how some people's imagine a newspaper man lives unless it is by eating wind pudding. Every Negro ought to read some Negro paper and give due consideration to patronizing advertisers who use Negro papers. A Negro newspaper can have but one definite aim if it is to win and that is tangible work for the general advancement of the race; and the man of colored skin who will not read some such paper must strand a tractor to his race. Yet the race has quite a few such in 7. TO be able to see the other fellow win and not kick because he is getting ahead of you; To not get the idea that you are the onlv straw in the stack because you are able to show all your teeth when you grin at a white man; To smile when your race is moving forward even if you are not the leader; To trust God because you love Him; To hold that the women of your race are above reproach; To respect men because of their ability and Character alone; To be willing to bet that there is something greater than money in life are some of the things worth while. AFTER all it may be true that the best interest of the black man will dictate the establishment of line between certain elements or groups of the race. Cannot understand what is meant? Stand out on the street and hear how ordinary Negroes knock our Editors, School teachers, Doctors, Lawyers and Preachers and you will readily see why we have not advanced as a race in the estimate of other people. Some people complain because certain classes of colored people are selective in their social affairs, and as a matter of fact they have to be selective to protect themselves from the moutus of some FOOLS. No race can ever hope to stand on a par with other races that will allow ignorant, unlettered men possessing but a slight sense of moral rectitude; Absolutely lacking in racial loyalty and an ordinary appreciation of the rights of their brother black man to pose as the forces that can deliver their race over to support the project advanced by other races. One fool Negro unfortunately placed in an ordinary position where he may occasionally grin at a white man can do the race, more harm than thousands of Negro soldiers have gained good for it by their bravery. GO To Some Church Sunday Brother. Not! Not perhaps because a.1 the people in the church are measuring up to the highest standards for you are not doing that yourself; but because there is a chance for you to set an example that will help the people in the churches get right and come up to your great ideals. God wants you to come; your needs bids you come and humanity will be benefitted by your coming that is if you have as much nobility of manhood; sense of rectitude and regards for your God and His church as you brag about on the streets. If you know so much about what the Christian life is and how it ought to be lived get in the church and prove the premises. THE exceptional progress which the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A. has made under the management of W. L. Hutcherson, executive secretary for the last seven months as shown by a recent report made to the executive boards of the organization should have the hearty commendation of the entire colored population of Wichita. Mr. Hutcherson by an extraordinary effort has placed the Wichita Y. M. C. A., in a commanding position among Negro associations of the country and by his earnest efforts with the young boy of the city succeeded in accomplishing a work that cannot be over estimated in its future results for promoting the general advancement of the race. THE Negro man who in the slightest degree seeks to undermine another Negro man or cause others to lose appreciation of the efforts made by his black brother does not deserve the consideration even extended to a MAD DOG. The race might rise if it was not for a few such ined themselves to be the "Powers that dividuals so self-conceited as to believBe" in dealing with the white race and ignorant that the average school boy is made to wonder why sensible Negro men even allow them to feel that they are race leaders. Being able to grin when a white man speaks is not the qualification that the race now demands of its leaders. Far less does it want a lender who knows how to do destructive knocking; but in all his life has never been able to advance a single constructive idea. HOW LONG SHALL WE BETOOLS? It is born in the American Negro to believe in the Republican Party, or a republican candidate, but we think the American white man in politics means to educate him to not trust him as a friend. The Negro can touch the hem of his garment, when he is wanting an office and virtue flows free and plentiful, but when he lands, his garments get shorter or his virtue all dries up; and, the Negro stands watching the crucifixion of principles that would make him a full man and guarantee a safe government for all the people. Does it look reasonable that a republican from Nebraska would join hands with the democrats of the South to flay the Dyer's Bill? Who in action say, "Let them alone, if they kill only Negroes, they doeth well;" when the record shows that the majority of the lynchings are on susplefion and things that the law amply provides punishment—only a small per cent for the paramount sin (rape.) Now he joins hands with the evil-doers and say: That federal government should not make or enforce any laws that will make safe the lives of American cit- izens. Before the world can have self and the principals of righteous Democracy, it must have individual ness. Now, if our law-makers and Democracy, Community Democracy, law-enforcers are the representatives City Democracy, County Democracy, of Christian America, we misunderstand Christianity or America is onocracy, then National Democracy, and the International Democracy. Whenever inside is filled with dead men's bones the pace is weak it should want the power that is stronger to step in and save the awful deed that is about to help or protect humanity happen. Take this Congressman outside of their immediate circle. Let Revisis of Nebraska and let him be the Negroes and Christians of Nebraska, mark this inhuman being and his family lives are exposed to his days as leader as quickly as any evil-doer or the united doers and possible. Let the race quilt drawing is would readily see the place where every power on earth and in heaven should be brought to bear to save him and his house. Then another thing, if a man means to do right he rejoices to know there is something that compelled him to do right when he was tempted and would have disgraced, SOCIETY AND PERSONAL TO know that giving and serving are a part of life's joy is best of all.
