Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.13,No.46 HERE-THERE -EVERYWHERE. BY J. RAYMOND HARRIS (For Associated Negro Press) The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill passed the House by nearly a hundred majority but there is doubt as to its fate in the Senate. Representative men of the country aim the United States as the home of enlightenment, as the "garden spot" of the world, as the one country where law, order and fairness are to be found in Utopia abundance. It was here that the Great Peace Conference called by our President for the purpose of inducing men to lay aside the sable, the rifle and the torch in the attempt soong of international difficulties. Wr," they say, "is inhuman, old fashioned, barbarous"—We will banish it from the earth. In view of such lofty sentiment does it not seem strange that there should be any hesitancy on the part of the nation's lawmakers to pass a measure the aim of which is to banish from the confines of our own country just such inhumanity, just such barbarism, just such savagery as the Great Peace Conference sought to end? In the last thirty-two years, three thousand four hundred and thirty four persons have been deprived of their lives "without due process of law" in the United States of America, of which number, Sixty-four were WOMEN. Failure to pass a bill which would end such a record of lawlessness means that this people which prates of its ideals of justice and fairplay—this people which aspires to "moral leadership of the world," has the foundations of its character laid in "BUNK." The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is just as much a part of the fundamental law as the eighteenth. If anything it is of greater importance because it seeks to protect human life, while the latter seeks to regulate human appetite. If statutory laws can be made to put teeth in the latter surely it is meet and right that the same procedure can be followed in making the former effective. The Chicago Tribune says that "it would be better to appeal to the conscience of the Southern people than to enact a law which would interfere with the police powers of the states," a fine sample of the idiotic stuff which that "Sheet" can concoct when the interests of our people are involved. About the only place in the world where you WON'T FIND that thing called conscience is the mind of the mob, chiefly because the first thing a man with conscience does when he finds himself in the midst of a mob is to get out of it. THE WORLD IS WAITING TO SEL WHAT THE MORAL LEADER OF THE NATIONS IS GOING TO DO ABOUT SAVAGERY WITHIN ITS OWN BORDERS! "CONSCIENCE MAKES COWARDS OF US ALL" Says Wm. Randolph Hearst: "The worst thing about the Peace Conference lies in the fact that Japan, by the recognition formerly accorded it in this conference, has been made the dominant nation among the yellow nations of the world, the militaristic leader of a thousand million racial enemies of the white people. Not only the people of the United States, but the peoples of Europe, the white race throughout the world, will pay yearly for this act of criminal folly in times to come. The great conflict of the world, the true world war is yet to come, and it will be between the yellow race and the white race. There are twice as many yellow peoples as there are white peoples in the world, and to place these yellow peoples under the aggressive military leadership of Japan is merely to organize them in the way in which they can do the most damage to the white peoples when the inevitable conflict finally comes. Truly the Washington conference is an epoch-making one; but the era it introduces will probably prove to be one of terrible danger, if not disaster, to the WIMTE MAN'S SUPREMACY." Mr. Heenrat's claim, that the Yellow peoples are enemies to the white is The Son Now Speaks. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. March 4,—Robert T. Lincoln, 3014 N. Street N.W., son of Abraham Lincoln, had written a letter to be published and distributed broadcast by the Knights of Columbus, denying that President Lincoln ever uttered statements derogatory to the Catholic Church on Catholics. Mr. Lincoln's lettter, written in response to one from John B. Kennedy, editor of Columbia, the KI of C., international magazine, states that "Abraham Lincoln's name has been a peg on which to hang many things." G. L. A. Club Meeting. Owing to the inclemency of the weather on last Tuesday afternoon, the meeting that was to have been held at the home of Mrs. Robt. Hill was postponed until Tuesday of next week and will be visitors day, Mrs. L. C. McCullough will be hostess at the home of Mrs. Ora Carter. Atchison Kansas Notes.

Mr. Hearst and men like him, perist in drawing a line, on one side of which shall stand all men of white kins—on the other shall strand those with skins of a different co or. Char-ter, personal worth, genius, ability, culture—all of these things mean othing to Mr. Hearst, nothing, either in individuals or races. The only thing, according to his philosophy, which has virtue is the color of the skin. Mr. Hearst believes that all of the non-white people were put into the world to do just what their white brothers tell them to do. He knows that the Japanese do not believe this and he fears that they may convince the rest of us that Mr. Hearst's philosophy is founded on a fallacy. In the words of Wm. S. Hart, Mr. Hearst seems "just plumb scared," not so much, we think because of the great disparity of numbers between ye'ow and white, but because Mr. Herrst is a student of history knows something of the centuries of cruelty and oppression which his brothers with white skins have inflicted on the Colored peoples. "CONSCIENCE MAKES COWARDS OF US ALL!" He fears and rightly fears, the coming of that day when there shall be a show-down. Rene Moran, awarded the Goncourt prize for 1921, for, his African novel, "Batoula," says in the preface: "Civilization, civilization—pride of the Europeans and their charmel—house of innocents! Rabindranath Tagore, the Hindu poet told, one day at Toky what you really were! You build your kingdom on corpses. Whatever you may wish, whatever you may do, you move amid lies. At sight of you, tears spring up, pain cries out. You are the force which downs right. You are not a torch, but a conflagration. Whatever you touch you consume." 3 CONSCIENCE MAKES COW- ARDS OF US ALL!" WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 3, 1922. PREPAREDNESS A NECESSITY. (By The Associated Negro Press) COLUMBIA, MO. March, 3.—News is gradually reaching church centers throughout the country of one of the outstanding achievements in church circles for the past year. The Rev. J. L. Caston was ca led here last September, a year ago, to the pastorate of the Broadway Baptist Church of Columbia, Mo. Now comes the announcement that those heroic people are to erect a modern Sunday School department at a cost of $35,000. A drive is now planned to raise a total amount of $20,000 in one week's campaign. Dr. Caston is an organizer of rare ability and a pulpit orator of power. Recent y in acknowledgement of his great work, Mrs. Hen'en B. Montgomery, President of the Northern Baptist Convention of America (white) and Dr. Y. Y. Mullins, President of the Southern Baptist Convention of America (white); on a very historic occasion (the first time the respective leaders of these two conventions have met since their separation); spoke from his pulpit to a great throng. Columbia, Mo., is a town of only 2000 Negroes, but this is an example of what a prepared ministry can do or our churches. If Dr. Caston succeeds in his $20,000 campaign, other churches would do well to make aligrimage to Columbia to see how it is done. ARE YOU AWARE? ```markdown ``` That it is common amongst humanity and a great ambition of the people of today to serve as counselors? This is a more common thing with our group of people than any other, apparently. They can give you advice on anything whether they know anything about it or not. That you should not offer a criticism for a certain activity unless you have something which you think is better? And you should not denounce an organization or an individual unless you have done a.l within your power to make them succeed. That life in the truest sense is not built upon theory and theoretical practices; but real practical applications of those theories? That after all, it is what you do, and not so much what you say and know? That it is just as natural for our people to find excuses for not patronizing our own enterprises as for the sparks to fly upward? This is true because of the adverse training that race has received. That if we wou'd show that we are ready for this modern civilization we must unite our forces in social activités? Don't find so much to complain about. A kicker doesn't get very far CLAIMED ITS OWN. (By The Associated Negro Press) INDIANAPOLIS, IND. March 3— C. I. Teylor, Owner of the A. B. C. baseball club, one of the most prominent business men in the country, died at his home here after a ten days' illness, Thursday morning at 0:30 o'clock. He was taken with influenza and his condition became so serious that two doctors and two nurses attended him constantly. He was fifty years old and came to Indianapolis, from Birmingham, Ala, some years ago. His affable manner and business traits caused him to be successful and the name of the A. B. C. Baseball team which he headed is known all over the country. FOUNDER'S DAY PROGRAM INTERESTING. (By The Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. March 8,-Chief Justice William H. Taft, in his address on Founder's Day at Tuskegee Institute two years ago, declared that Founder's Day at Tuskegee should be as significant to the Negro as George Washington's birthday is to the American public in general. The host of Negroes and white friends who gather at the Institute each year upon this occasion to pay tribute to the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington, attests the esteem in which this event is held, not only by Negroes but the public at large. There is a special interest in the observance this year on account of the unveiling of the Booker T. Washington Monument which will be held in connection with the Founder's Day Exercises on April 5th. Each year since the death of Dr. Washington, a prominent American has delivered the Founder's Day address. The array of speakers on the program this year is composed of some of the most eloquent orators and leaders of thought in America. The Founder's Day address will be delivered by Dr. Wallace Butterick, Chairman of the General Educational Board; Honorable Josephus Daniel, ex-Secretary of the Navy, will represent the South; Dr. George C. Hall, one of the leading citizens of Chicago, will represent the Negro, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard-University, who was for 18 years Secretary to Dr. Washington, will formerly present the monument to the Trustees of the Inst'tute. The Booker T. Washington Monument, which is the work of the famous sculptor, Charles Keck of New York, has been proclaimed "a master work of art" by those who have visited the sculptor's studio. It is a representation in bronze, standing eight feet high, of Booker T. Washington, "lifting the veil" of ignorance and superstition from the eyes of the Negro and pointing the way to opportunity, prosperity and success through education, industry and thrift. The statue will be erected upon an artistic base eight feet high, in the center of the campus and will stand as an indication of the recognition of, and the appreciation for, the work wrought by Dr. Washington for his race, on the part of Negroes by whose contribution the monument was made possible. Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal announced today that Honorable William C. Wilcox, New York City, Chairman of the Board of Trustees with other northern and eastern Trustees, is planning to bring a large number of friends from the East to the Institute at this time, and Mr. Julius Rosenwa'd, Chicago, philanthropist and a Trustee of the Institute, is to bring a large number from the West. These parties will make the trip in special ars. Other special parties are being organized by representative Negro leaders in various parts of the country. Many friends and admirers of Dr Washington and the Tuskegee Institute, will like advantage of the opportunity, which a visit at this time will offer, to see the school and its work as well as to pay tribute to the memory of the man who founded it. Announcement as to reduced rates will be released at a later date. ENTERTAINED. (By The Associated Negro Press TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA March 3.—Mr. J, H. Murphy, ed tor o' the Afro-American, Baltimore, Maryland, was among the prominent visitors at the Tukegee Institute, during the past week. During his stay, Mr. Murphy who is perhaps, the Dean of Negro editors, spoke to the students and faculty upon two occasions, pointing out the good of industrial training, and urging the students to strive to press forward at all times. He was entertained at dinner by the Twentieth Century Club on Monday evening. Mr. Murphy was Mr. W. E. Bacon ST HE PR Give Honor to America's Foremost.Soldier. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. March 3 Colonel Charles Young was ready for the rol call when the final bugle sounded "Taps." This is the testimony brought to the people of the United States, direct from the last hours of Colone. Young by Henry O. Atwood, life'ong friend and military associate. Captain Atwood has just reached direct from Lagos, and gave this information to a representative of the Associated Negro Press. Captain Atwood landed in New York, came to his home in Washington, and went on to Wilberforce, Ohio, to bear personal testimony to Mrs. Charles Young, and take some of the effects of the late Colonel. One of the interesting things that Captain Atwood has was the last passport of Colonel Young, bearing his latest picture. The picture shows lines of protected care and brave suffering. Captain Atwood told the Associated Negro Press that Col. Young never got over the blow that prevent him from going to France during the World War. His attitude was not one of complaint, but the spirit of a soldier to the manor born who wanted to be in the thick of the game of war. He was like an athlete preparing for the Olympic games only to be denied entry at the last moment. MARCH TWELFTH MEMORIAL. From one end of the country to the other, arrangements are going forward for the occasion of the national memorial, March twelfth, Mrs. Chaz. Young is deeply appreciative of this test monial of respect, and has informed the Associated Negro Press that the late selected is very fitting, as it is the birthday anniversary of Col. Young, who would have been fifty-seven years old on that date. General John J. Pershing, in an exclusive interview with a representative of the Associated Negro Press, expressed great interest in the occasion saying: "Colonel Young and I were cadets at West Point together, and I never knew a finer man; he was held in the highest esteem by all. "We did not see much of each other," continued General Pershing, "after leaving West Point, until the occasion in Mexico." "I think it very fitting that Colonel Young's memory should be revered." General Pershing has prepared a special tribute to Colonel Young for the memorial occasion. J. W. JOHNSON PAYS TRIBUTE. James Weldon Johnson. Secretary of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, informed the Associated Negro Press that Robert W. Bagnal., Director of Branches, had been asked to notify all branches of the memorial occasion. For the event Mr. Johnson issued the following statement: "It is fitting that, as the Associated Negro Press proposes, there should be national memorial services on Sunday, March 12, 1922, as a testimony of respect to the Int'l Col. Chas Young, U. S. A. For Colonel Young is individual and sensitive of the capability of the American Negro "Not only was he graduated from the United Eritrean Military Academy at West Point, the third Colored man to be graduated there, but he attained the highest military rank ever held by any Colored man in this country. "His services to his country included diplomatic duty in the Republic of Liberia. He was not merely an officer, he was a man of all-round ability, In him as in the other Colored men who distinguishes themselves in public service in America is found the highest vindicative of those who claim for the Colored man all the opportunities which humanly and under the Constitution are his. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gladly joins with the Associated Negro Press in doing honor to the memory of this distinguished representative of the best idea's of American citizenship." accompanied by his son D. F. Murphy, and is enroute to Florida. While at the Institute, he was the guest of Dr. R. R. Moton. AR. EOPLE PRICE, FIVE CENTS THE VENGENCE OF THE GODS. BY WM. PICKENS. (For Associated Negro Press) We read in the Virginia papers of yesterday that a white man was sent to the penitentiary for life; he had killed another white man, according to the court, in co'd blood, without any provocation, maliciously. We read in the Virginia papers two or three days ago that a Colored boy was electrocuted in Richmond: he had shot into a crowd of young white men who were attacking him and had killed one of the attackers. They were having a little fun, of course, using "giant fire crackers" on him as he passed along the street. They lit them and hurled them at him, and when one of the great explosives went off under his feet, he fell to the ground. As he rose he came up shooting and one of his assailants was killed. We are not pleading either one of these men's cases. We are simply contrasting them, and leaving it to ou to think whatever you can think. The white man killed in cold blood, perhaps to steal or to revenge himself. The Colored boy killed in great excitement and under the surprise of an attack which he could not at once understand. There was no premeditation and no malice apparent. He could not mean to kill this particular person whom he hit. when he fired at his assailants. There you have it! When we get an anti-lynching bill on the statute books, then we must be eternally busy trying to hinder the court lynchings. The jury condemned this boy quick o SAVE HIM FROM LYNCHING. On the day when he was electrocuted in Richmond, the father of the young white men whom he killed, and several of their friends journeyed from Fincastle, to the place of execution to "see it well, done," true to southern civilization. We like to see em die down here. What a fine audience we would have made for Nero or Faustine; we would always have turned our "thumbs down" when the victim was down. But what happened in Richmond? The hotel Lexington, where this sight seeing party put up, was burned down, and two of them, including the white father, were burned to death, and others crippled for life. This all happened before the Negro boy was electrocuted. We wonder if he heard about it. "Well," say the Colored people. "the Lord did it." You know, many Colored people think that God does everything, especially if it be terrible and awful. What fine temple communicants they would have made in he days of the Major Prophets—White people lynch 70 Negroes, and then a flood, a fire and a collapsing theatre take off 170 white people and he Colored folk feel; almost satisfied. They feel it to be a sort of compensatory justice. "Well, is it? And what if it isn't if you think it is? It is our own personal belief that some of the white people will meet with calamities, even if we break up their lynchings. There is a greater Power and a higher intelligence in the universe than Man, even if it isn't murderous and incendiry. SIMS' RECORDS NOW READY.

PRINCIPLES, not Men; Deeds, not words—all Forces for God, in the solving of civic, social, religious and political problems that touch the Race, must be the aim of the leaders that would impress the Race with their sincerity IN this Industrial Crisis, everything is pointing to an Industrial President of the United States, and we see no better man for the position than one who is giving this country new thoughts for handling this problem, Gov. Henry J. Allen is the man, who is thinking and acting independently along this line. THE Big Problem of this country is not to make our white brother treat their black brother rightly, but is to make both realize what is necessary to treat Christ rightly, because Christ (our elder brother) said: if we say we love Him and hate our brother, we tell the wrong thing, and we have no right in us. No Better way to teach your children race and country loya ty, than to have them unite with you on March 12th in a Memorial Service in honor of Col. Chas. Young who proved to be more than a soldier, but a born leader. He shirked no duties, nor picked no easy place, but grieved only when he could not reach the height of his calling. He has paid the price, and the world knew his ability, but he was hindered for the lack of Christian love that should make all men free and equal. This country is growing, but a long way from grown; if we are to measure up to Christ. HE walked and talked, sang and preached; then he made everybody his friend—are our thoughts of Rev. W. S. Terrell, who passed away in Cairo, Ill., Feb. 13th, and was buried Feb. 17th. He lived a useful life and died an exemplified death, a glorious death—on duty, at his post, preaching when he fell Sunday and died Monday morning at 9.00 a.m. Truly a great preacher is silent but SOCIETY AND PER Mrs. Belle Nelson has been confined to her bed with pneumonia.

The bereaved family have our sympathy. Rev. S. B. Butler, ex-pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, now of Indianapolis, Ind., was called here last week on account of the sudden illness of his father. His father is reported better and Rev. Butler will speak for the audience at Calvary, Sunday. ```markdown ``` his work merches on and shall continue until the last day. If the done could be well pleased, we know, he was to have Rev. A. D. Williams of Atlanta, Ca., Rev. J. W. Gayden of Belzona, Miss., Rev. E. L. Todd of Cairo, and his many friends to speak the last words of reverence over his body. His methods of doing good, brought everybody close to him and we feel keenly that a friend has passed from our bosom, that we shall miss, but we rejoice that we have the same hope and we shall all gather around the Great Throne and be at the Feasting table, to part no more. We feel the greatness of your loss Mrs. Terrell, and can only point you to the Comforter—Let us pray mightily, that his life and works will blossom and bring forth greater fruits in another, then we will not have lived in vain. WE have often wondered why you can make fool's out of people easier than you can make wise men. Foolish things always bring regret, misery and disgrace, but they always spread faster. Let every man think of the foolish organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, an organization, where officers of the law pay $10.00 to co-operate with a thing to demonstrate more power than the law. It shows three things: 1st, That you haven't much confidence in the people, where you live and help make, so to the knowledge of right and wrong, or you haven't enough manhood in your community to enforce the law. 2nd, That their intentions are evil because their operations are at night and nothing righteous has any need to function its object in the dark; it is a true sign that the animal part is ruling, because the Bible has given the night for the roaming of the beasts, seeking their food, while man sleep. 3rd, That the men are not thinkers; if so, they would not attempt to get from under the law, to make somebody keep the law, nor would they attempt to drive together four of the greatest mediums of power: The Negro, with his cheer, hope and endurance; the Catholics, with their near perfect organization; The Jews, with their financial interest and commercial idea, and the Foreigner, with the muscles which make money a medium of exchange—Now, when you have completed your job, "Where will ye spend eternity!" No, your object is wrong, your procedure is wrong and you are going to get the wrong results. You may tar a few, burn a few, shoot a few, run a few, and disgrace a few, but then where is the principle that should tie every man to feel his brother's care, Christ's love and God's approval? Miss D. L. Sims enjoyed very much the sumptuous dinner and the afternoon spent in the beautiful home of Mrs. Ora Carter on Ohio Avenue, Sunday. Rev. S. S.

They are the soul-stirring melodies first given to the world by those famous Jubilee Singers sent out by Fisk University in 1871. 2.

They are the only true source of Negro history; if any man would read the Negro's life, let him study these songs 5. They are the only connecting link between the young Negroes and their ancestors. 6. They increase spiritual fervor because they were born o adversity and tribulation. 7. If they are sung in the right spirit, a revival is sure to follow. 8. These songs of our fathers should be preserved with their best and truest interpretation. 9.
