THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol.13,No.45 A SUCCESSFUL MEETING. A SUCCESSFUL MEETING. Southwest District Board. Southwest District Board. The Executive Board of the South-District Missionary Baptist Association convened with the Pleasant View Baptist Church, Rev. A. M. Keel, pastor, Feb. 16, 17, 1922, Caldwell, Kansas, in a two days' session. Promptly at 8 o'clock, President G. C. Harris called the ministers' and Dercons Union to order, conducting a short devotional service. Afterwhich introduced Rev. C. E. Wood, Arkansas City, who read a splendid treatse on the "Deity of Christ;" which was very instructive and was highly appreciated by the ministers and deacons. The B. Y. P. U., led by President, Mrs. Carrie Anderson; the Sunday School led by Mrs. Mae Buckner and W. H. & F. M. Convention led by Mrs. I. F. Bates, each held a very interesting and profitable session. The Ex. Board proper convened on the evening of the 17th, Rev. J. C. Rogers, Moderator. The reports of of the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Ida Eates, District Missionary Bro. Matt S. Jnoes and Treasurer, Rev. J. H. Raimey showed the work of the Association to be in a heat thy condition. One of the things worth while, mentioning in the District Missionary's report, was the large number of additions to the church in conversions and otherwise during the past quarter; the report was enthusiastically received and highly commended because it showed the need of greater efforts upon the part of the church, to preach the Gospel in Western Kansas. We were able to gather a few subscriptions for The Negro Star. The people of Caldwell, are progressive, owning many nice homes. Some are very enterprising. Mr. Sam Robertson has a fired class grocery and is well patronized by the people of the community. Mr. E. Cunningham has been a brakeman on the Rock Island for a number of years. A large number of young people are in High School and making good. The Ex. Board adjourned extending a vote of thanks to the good people of Caldwell for the generous and hospitable manner in which they entertained their members while in their midst. The District Missionary, M. S. Jones spent Sunday with the Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, Rev. C. E. Wood, pastor, Arkansas City, a fine congregation and a good service was held. Subscr.be, and pay for The Negro Star. Reporter. The Southwestern Board Meeting held at Caldwell, Kansas, was a very helpful meeting. Program good and meeting harmonious. About $180 were raised for the work. Rev. N. J. Stokes organized a B. Y. P. U., in the Caldwell Church, Thursday night. Among those who prescheduled were Revs. Recves, Stokes, Leach, Jones, Wool and Hayes. The Teachers' Training Work was presented by Rev. Hayes. Moderator, Rev. J. C. Rogers was at his post of duty though not so well. After listening to the report of Rev. M. S. Jones of Western Kanes, and Missionary of Southwestern District, with perhaps a keener interest then at any time before, it seems to me that the Denomination could make no better investment then to purchase Ford C&r for Rev. Jones to make his stenerancy over the Western Field. Brother Jones is worthy and certainly the work is worth doing. The State, I suppose, however, would expect this district to take the lead as Bro. Jones belongs to us. I am ready to start the effort with a personal offering. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Y. M. C. A. 'Holds Effective Meeting. At 4:45 last Sunday evening, Capt. W. L. Hutcherson opened devotion with Gospel singing. Bro. H. T. Sms reed the Scripture lesson and offered prayer. The Gospel singing continued under the direction of Bro. Parks. Bro. W. L. Hutcherson intro- A POEM. O father'ess daughter of brutish lust. Of a male thing false to his race's ust. So base as to mingle h's mother's b ood In Afric veins for shame's motherhood And ravish her virtue, e'er this undefiled, To granddam a bristard ha'f-bred child In thine and in every tawny skin Is writ indictment of th White Man's sin. How fiercely thy proud Aryan blood comp sin Against its bondage in a Negro's veins; How bitterly curses thy shameless alrs Who plunged it into this lake of fire; How medly longs for its God-given place In a heart of its own superlor race— Alas, but to suffer thru endless time A guilt ess doom for the White Man's crime. Turn away thine eyes from the mounta'n slopes, Forego thy vis'ons and throttle thy hope: hopes; Accept thy sad lot y'eld to crue. fae. Degrade thyself lower to a dusky mate; Find joy if thou canat in lust motherhood And pride and new hope in thy mot y brood— But God still reigns, and He is just; This Naton must travail for the White Man's just. White Man's Just. —LLEWELLYN BUFORD BROWN. Collision of Bus and Rock Island Train. Mr. Wendell P. Hicks is dead, Messrs N. D. Briley, Judge Neely, N. A. Duncan, C. W. Allen, C. E. Mason, W. M. Clayburn, Faye Neely and Mrs. Marion Campbell were injured as result of a collision of an incoming Black Island train with the six o'clock bus at 13th Street and Mead Avenue crossing, Tuesday morning; one man, whose name is unknown to us escaped unhurt. It is alleged the driver of the the bus thought the track clear as the watchman did not appear to give signal. Occupants of the bus a so state that the train did not whistle until it had hit the bus. Wendell Hicks was killed almost instantly and was taken to the Flanagan and Bourman Funeral home, whose funeral will be attended at New Hope Saturday. The injured were rushed to the St. Francis Hospital and their wounds dressed. Faye Nee'y and Mrs. Maron Campbell were able to return home after dressing wounds, the others remained in the hospital. They are much improved at this writing. Mr. Wendel. Hicks. the dead man leaves to mourn his death, a father, sister and brother: Metta and Maxwell, a grandmother and many other relatives and friends. We extend to them our sympathy in this their sad trial of bereavement. duced Mr. W. K. Jones, who spoke very encouragingly of the work of the "Y" and of his friend y attude of race. At the arrival of Mr. C. W. Webster, the Foreign Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Jones yielded the floor to hm, the speaker of the hour, who did not demonstrate the talent of oratory but the ernestness of a Stephen, as he presented the condition of the world, the effects of the Y. M. C. A., and the need of Gospel in the foreign lands, especially y Africa. He told how plastic the minds of our people are and their willingness to learn anything. He moved his audience to a high pitch of sympathy when he told the story of Pritchard and Beou, who were drowned near Zanzabar, Africa: Belou being taken by the treacherous tides into the ocean found he was unable to swim against them, called for help and his fr'enl Pritchard went to his rescue and was clutched and both drowned locked in each other's arms. While our throats were stiff with grief over the loss of such young useful lives, he repeated this Scripture: "Greater love has no man than this, that he giveth his life for his friend." As Christians, we felt the sweetness of the sacrifice and laid on the alter at this time $30.00 for Mrx Yergan, who is now in Africa for six year with the spirit of Y. M. C. A. fellowship. Wonderful responsives followed. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY. Feb. 24, 1922. 18 REV. A. NABORS. GRENADA, MISS.

(By The Associated Negro Press) There is but one thing that will bring early action on the Dyer Anti-Lynch'ing Bill in the United States Senate: Public Sentiment. That may as well be understood, and those who desire to see the bill brought out of the Committee, should get busy. Congressman Volstead, who handled the bill on the House side, in an interview with the Associated Negro Press declared: "The thing to do is to have everyone, everywhere get busy on the Senate side. The great danger there is filibustering. It will undoubtedly take hard work to get the bill thru the Senate. Tornado Sweeps. (By The Associated Negro Press) ENTERPRISE, ALA. Feb. 24—Srm Jones, a Negro boy, was killed, several white persons and five Negroes injured in a storm which destroyed 41 houses here. The storm resembling a tornado, came from the southwest and swept a suberb of this town, damaging everything in its wake for a width of 300 feet. Riddled With Bullets. (By The Associated Negro Press) BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Feb. 24— William Briggs, Colored man was riddled with bullets here last Monday after he had fatally wounded R. E Smith, deputy sheriff, and seriously shot V. B. Helton, police officer. Smith had arrested the Negro, a flagman on a charge of murder. Briggs who was fearless several weeks ago is alleged to have shot a hobo who died Monday. ARE YOU AWARE? That the little things in life are the most important, yet they are the most commonly over looked and ignored? To bear out this statement let us think of the story of office manager who advertized for an office boy. The following morning 3 boys answered the ad. No. 1 came rushing into the room apparently without thought of having his hat on, and up to the desk, stating his business was asked to wait aside. No. 2, in a similar untrained manner, trying to beat the first, was also asked to stand aside. No. 3, gent y opening the door, and with equally as much gentleness, slipped inside and toward the manager's desk to state his business in as gentle a manner as his entrance, but before he reached the desk he spied a book on the floor. He abruptly turned and picked up the book and delivered it to the desk; wherein he was given the job. That a mue can't kick and pull at the same time, neither can you? That it matters not where you start it's the end that counts? A sensible teamster sometime finds it necessary to get his load and push? It would be fine if some of our church folk would get off and push awhile instead of riding all the time. That our teacher Miss Martin's father was killed by a run-a-way team last Friday at her home in Garnett? You have our sincere sympathy Miss Martin. Eat a heap, sleep a heap, peep a heap, and live a long time. Ill. Sister M. Waters acted in her stead. Rev. W. C. Cartwright, pastor, wes in Leavenworth, Sunday, assisting in the installat on of Rev.

Feb. 24 The Senate has moved into action on the Dyer Bill. The judiciary committee has referred the measure to a subcommittee which after investigation, will render a report. Senator Wm. Borah of Idaho is Chairman of the Committee and the other members are Wm. Dillingham, Lebaron B. Colt, Rhode Island, Lee S. Overman, Norah Carolina and John K. Shields, Tennessee. Every church, club, lodge or organization of every description as well as every individual is urged to write each of these Senators at once, addressing him at Washington, D. C., as well as the Senator from their home states, urging favorable action upon the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill'. The House has passed the measure, which spells the death of lynching. It had active supporters there. The Senate is dangerous ground and leaders here are certain that only a concerted effort which will make the senators realize that every one of ten million Negroes are watching their action, will cause the passage of the bill. This is the big opportunity for Colored people to show the power of public opinion among our group. There is influential opposition to the bill. The South is solid against it and such important organs as he New York World and Chicago Tribune have carried editorials doubting its efficiency and constitutionality. Race leaders however council every liberty loving Negro to do his part. MEMORIAL IN HONOR OF COL. YOUNG MEMORIAL IN HONOR OF COL. YOUNG WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 24- National interest has been aroused in the movement to hold a country wide memorial for Col. Charles Young, Military hero, on March 12, the date of his birth. Gen. John J. Perahing, commanding general of the American Army, under whom Col. Young served in Mexico and who recommended him as Brigadier General, has consented to write a tribute to the life and career of this intrepid, black soldier. The N. A. A. C. P., has endorsed this effort to honor the only Negro who graduated from West Point and will urge its branches to co-operate in their severeal commun ties. Capt. Harry C. Atwood Aide de Camp to Col. Young has just arrived in Washington from Africa. He described the last days of the famous soldier, Col. Ot's Duncan of the 8th Ill., and officers of the 15th, New York are taking the lead in their respective communities. Guilty or Not Guilty He Is Black. (By The Associated Negro Press) TEXARKANA, TEX. Feb. 24—the body of N. P. Norman, Colored, who was taken from the custody of Deputy Sheriff Will Jordan by a mob of masked men near here last Saturday night was found today. The deputy assured them that Norman was guiltless but the mob would not heed him, saying, "He was a back man anyway." It is believed Norman was confused with another Colored man who is said to have s'ain G. W. Landers, storekeeper at Eylau. Chip of The Old Block. (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 24—Intelligence Tests have been held here for the pupils in public schools. In school No. 119, Harriet Ida Pickens, 12 years old, stood highest of all the pupils, white and colored, in the tests of three classes. Her mark is 141.

Pay No Revenue Taxes Now. Pay No Revenue Taxes Now. (For release January 3rd 1922.) The following statement is issued by the Col actor of Internal Revenue, H. H. Motter, Wichita for the district of Kansas. In response to numerous inquiries, taxpayers are advised that certain taxes, among them the so-called "nuisance" and "luxury" taxes, are repealed, effective January 1, 1922. by the Revenue Act of 1921. Patrons of soda-water fountains. ice cream parlors and "simil ar places of business" no longer are required to pay the tax of 1 cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof on the amount expended for sodas, sudaces, "or simil ar articles of food or drink." The small Loy may rejoice in the fact that an ice-cream cone doesn't cost an extra penny. The tax imposed by the Revenue Act of 1921 is on "beverages and the constituent parts thereof" and is paid by the manufacturer. The tax on the transportation of freight and passengers is repealed, effective January 1, 1922, also the tax paid by the purchaser on amounts paid for men's and women's wearing apparel (shoes, hats, caps, neckwear, shirts, host, etc) in excess of a specified price. The taxes on sporting goods, (tennis rackets, fishing rods, baseball and football uniforms, etc) are recalled, as the taxes on chewing gum, portable electric fans, thermo-portable containers, articles made of fur, and toilet articles and musical instruments. The tax on sales of jewelry, real or imitation, is 5 per cent, and is paralleled by the vendor. The tax on the sale of works of art (paintings statuary, art, porcelain, and bronze) is reduced from 10 to 5 per cent. This tax, payable by the vendor, applies except in the original sale by the artist, or to an educational institution or public art museum, or a sale by a recognized dealer in such articles to another such dealer for resale. When payable by the manufaurer or vendor taxes must be in the hands of the collector of internal revenue on or before the last day of the month following the month in which the sale was made. Following are the forms for making returns and regulations relating to taxes, which may be had on application to offices of collectors of initial revenue; manufacturers' excise tax Form 729 revised, regulators 17, revised; tax on works of art and jewelry, Form A, revised. Regulations 18, revised; tax on beverage s, Form 726, revised, Regulations 52, revised." Rev. G. T. Raimey, Moderator of Smoky Hill River District preached a noble sermon for us. He gave us a burning message out of his heart, which went directly to our hearts. The Lord was surely with us because we all enjoyed it to the highest. We wished him to stay longer but had to have to go to Salm. Dr. Beetrom Anderson made a flying trip to Junction City, and on his return, reports a very pleasant visit to the Second Baptist Church which Rev. G. T. Raimey is pastor; he reports that Rev. G. T. Raimey and his members entertained him with royal entertainment, making him wish for an early return trip. We are expecting Rev. W. B. Carv of Wichita, to preach for us Sunday. Mrs. F. D. Hayden has returned from Wichita; she reports a pleasant stay while there. The Southwestern Board Meeting held at Caldwell, Kansas, was a very helpful meeting. Program good and meeting harmonious. About $180 were raised for the work. Rev. N. J. Stokes organized a B. Y. P. U. in the Caldwell Church, Thursday night. Among those who preached were Revs. Reyves, Stokes, Leach, Jones, Wood and Hayes. The Teachers' Training Work was presented by Rev. Hayes. Moderator, Rev. J. C. Rogers was at his post of duty though not so well. After listening to the report of Rev. M. S. Jones of Western Kansas, and Missionary of Southwestern District, with perhaps a keener interest than at any time before, it seems to me that the Denomination could make no better investment then to purchase Ford Car for Rev. Jones to make his CALLAHAN TRANSFER COMPANY Taxi and Baggage. Wichita's Business and Professional Phones: 116 MARKET 7129.

Boost your Negro A peevish man never knows his strength; he sulls before he realizes the glory of any proposition. THE memory of Abraham Lincoln blossoms out afresh and ought to be a glorious inspiration to the Race for which he thought and battled. The spirit of LINCOLN DAY properly caught and applied by our Race must lead to an attitude of aggressive progress based on rational thought which directs along industrial, educational and religious lines of endeavor working in unity with the general leadership if those forces that are guided by the hand of God and have their origin in THE CHURCIL. A FEW more years of Talk-Talk Talk and no co-operative action for the general commercial development of our Race and results are not going to be pleasing even though we do not claim to BE COMING AS A RACE. NEGRO CHILDREN BEING EDUCATED and you not supporting NEGRO ENTERPRISES so that your educated child may have an opening to employ its trained brain. What are you thinking about? Get busy and help the Negro merchant go to the front for the future commercial success of your race. Don't patronize him forever if he tries to play you for a monkey on the strength of your color. THINGS that count for a race going over the top: Learn to live within your MEANS. A Seventy-five Dollar suit on a Ten Dollar woman or man looks as much out of place as a fragrant rose in a trash pile. Belive that the other Negro knows something about something that you may not be up to date about with your opinion. Learn to wait until the PEOPLE of your race demand your leadership.

WE feel in Wichita that there is a Christian Spirit and Brotherhood between the races that don't exist in any other city in America, and we want this fellowship to continue. We have found enough real Christianity on both sides to safeguard against all out breaks or riots; if there could be a way of harnessing the spirit of the Master around the dailies that spread the evils or supposed evils of the race in big headlines. It was a fact that a man entered a white woman's room and possibly a Negro, but probably some other nationality, since a little appliances can change any others. Then she was in a room with only a lamplight and may be it turned down, but the midnight rambler must be a Negro and The Beacon saw fit to make it the leading article for that day. We thank the Beacon for giving us special notice for our sins, but we would thank them more to know the truth or give the race the benefit of the doubt. We wonder if we could have done enough good to have received such a notable heading. It is the opinion of this paper, that good of men should receive the big headline and the bad, the smaller or no mention. If you tell the story of evils and how to commit them, some fellow will try them, but tell the story of righteousness and let the evil door feel that he has no interest whatsoever that the public would admire. Now, the spirit of love nor the safety of the people can be assured when such power agencies blaze forth with such exciting evils as their leading thoughts. Let good lead and good will follow.

The second meeting of the United Metodist Missionary Societies, which was temporarily organized a month ago at St Paul's Church, effected a permanent organization at St. Matthew's C. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Nichols, the president, called for reports of committees after the devotional services, and permanent officers and committees were lined up for general missionary and charity work throughout the city, dividing it into zones and co-operating with all other similar bodies in the city. Brief, but enthusiastic remarks by the pastors present aroused all to a spirit of action. The next regular meeting will be held at Grant Memorial Chapel, the third Sunday in March. Secretary Hutcherson has been in attendance at the Regional Conference of Secretaries from the 10 western states. He was shown real Christian courtesy by all present. Was The Officer A Klansman? CHARLOTTSVILLE, VA. Feb. 24 —The hundreds who gathered at Oakwood Cemetery this afternoon to witness the burial of Sheriff Camm M. Thomas, victim of the Lexington Hotch fire, Richmond, stood amazed following the Mison ceremonies, when six white robed members of the Ku Kux K'an, silently scaled a high rock wall and forming in the figure of a cross marched to the new y made grave, bearing a large cross of red flowers. After placing the wreath on the grave, the klansmen gave the sign of the cross, retraced their steps, leaped over the wall and entered a closed auto which had been stripped of its license number. The machine made quick get-away headed toward the cemetery. As Ex-President Wilson Saw It. NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 24—A national humorous weekly tonight made public several statements from men of national prominence in response to its request for messages stating "why you believe the United states should smile at th's time" for use in connection with the celebration of "nationl smi'e week," Feb. th to 12th. Among those who replied with words of cheer were Postmaster General Hayes, Secretary of Labor Davis Theodore Roosevelt and William J. Dryan. Woodrow Wilson replied: "I have no message to send on so silly a subject." Does Aid Come For Injustice Meted or to Halt Organization? NEW YORK, N. 7. Feb. 24—We have received many letters, says W. Jim Pickens of the Associated Negro Press, expressive of various views, much saffing many opinions and sometimes, asking questions about the charge which United States Government officials have brought against Mr. Garvey's organization. As an outside observer, we can only say that they have not shown us yet. Whether they will show us, remains to be seen. But the individual who writes these little editorials, can say from the bottom of his heart that he wishes them the worst of bad luck in their efforts to convict Garvey. And that wish is not only born of our heart but our head as well; for we cannot help it that we have sense enough to know that the fellows who are trying to prove that Garvey is defrauding us, are not aiming to help any of us but to hurt all of us. For over fifty years thousands of other exploitaters have been defrauding us, but since they were not trying at the same time to organize us into any group power, the department of injustice has not rushed to our assistance. Whether Garvey has defrauded anybody we do not know—and we will take it that he is innocent until the courts decide that he is guilty. But we know the chief motive behind this is attack on Negro organization, and even if Garvey is convicted it will not alter our attitude toward that motive. We heartily hope that our white "friends" will not be able to befriend us this time. At least we are not supposed to be scare-y, not nearly as much afraid as we ought to be for our own good perhaps, but we can say in a comparative way that we are much more afraid of this type of "friend" than of the devil. We could sleep more soundly with two or three devils in the next room than with such a friend in the next house or the next block. AND WE FEAR THESE "FRIENDS" EVEN WHEN THEY ATTACK GARVEY. NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 24-We cannot support the idea of jim-crow schools-for that means robbery and degradation outright. And yet there are handicaps and drawbacks for the Colored child in many of the "mixed" schools, especially in those public schools where Colored children are not a majority or a very large element of the pupilage. Where the Negro child is practically alone in a class, he can be "shut out" by the other pupils and squeezed out by the teachers from all social and other cur tural and athletic activities. This is done every day. It can be done without apparently breaking any law; some whites are always left out, and the Colored can always be made just one of the left-outs. And what can you say You will be answered; "So-and-so- and Such-and-such-a-one-they were not included either—they are not invited. They are white. What's the matter with you? You think we must show favoritism to you"—and there you are. Where Colored children constitute a majority, they cannot, of course be hut out. If that game were started, they could beat at it. So, in the a-hoo's of the more deeply Colored cessions of Northern cites, they have a more normal life. But woe to the little Black that's alone. There are exceptional cases where "the only Colored student" enjoys nearly all the rights and privileges. Dut exceptions are exceptions. And a teacher can "make it hard" or you without breaking any law except the indefinable and unenforceable moral laws. Every teacher knows how this can be done—and every pupil oo. There have been Colored pupils who were not called on to recite' or otherwise noticed for months at a time. They were told by action (or naction:) you have, of course, the are right to be here, but you are ery unwelcome. It has been often remarked that so many Northern Colored youths fail to finish even high school. Well, in Newark, N. J., (and in many other places) the Colored girls have been thus encouraged by some of their teachers: "What do you want to go hru High School for? There is nothing that you can find to do with a High School education."—Now, of course, it is not against the law to ask a girl a civil question and make er an indirect suggestion about her future. Of course not! And a'tho it is cowardly to do so, teachers can make it very hard for little children. Teachers have all the advantage—and litt'e children have o judgment. Little children can imply be allowed the rope and the tether that will break their own necks. And little Negro children can have ust as much of the little-old-devil in them as any children anywhere in the world. That is how they prove their utter humanity. But, O, how he teacher can dramatize the situation when the principal is called into he room: "That little Colored child ver there did it!" How she can emphasize the very necessary description, and how her pointing finger can tab. And color can be made a almost a excrèb e in her little schoolroom as t is in Vicksburg, Miss., after a 'yellow' newspaper has anathematized it—"That little Colored boy therel" and those little children have and these hit children have brains their heads, and they know when they are being taken advantage of, and many of them are growing up sour and sullen and bitter. God save us! Foundations are being laid for a 1950 "race problem" that may make our present antipathies look like an entente cordiale. What are we going to do about it? Get acquainted and understand. The Colored urents must get nearer, in on the job and there must be closer relations between parents and teachers. There should be Parents and Teachers' League, and a strong pull always for more Colored teachers in the general school system, but by no means any movement or toleration on the part of Negro people for "cul.ed" schools. They will come soon enough, or too soon. Junction City News. Mother Chinn is yet ill at her home on West 14th St, but is slowly recovering. Her husband is also on the sick list. Mr. Thos.

Anderson preached morning and night at the 2nd Baptist Church, and proved to be a pure Christian. Rev. Anderson, altho, a white-man, is one that the Negro can be very proud of. He seems to have forgotten that he is anything but a Christian man, and a Baptist from head to foot; and has started out with a full determination to not cease until the Negroes of Herrington, have a Baptist Church in which to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We hope and pray that the day will come when all white men will get the kind of religion that Rev. Anderson has, treating Christians as Christians, regardless of creed or color. H. s.
