Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE NEVER HAS BEEN SUCH AWAKENING. Vol. 13, No. 47 (For Associated Negro Press) WASIINGTON, D. C. Mtr. 10— Sunday, March 12th, from Crispus Attachs monument in Boston, to the Golden Gate in San Francisco; from the lake washed shores of Col- icago, to the rice swamps of Flor'd', homage will be paid to the memory of Colonel Charles Young. There has never been, in the hist- ory of the race, a more spontaneous awakening to an act of appreciation. The minged emotions of sorrow and determination will be released from the hearts of a mighty people, and cartered about the cherished memory of a fallen hero. At the close of all of the services, audiences will stand with their faces to the East, whie a bugler sounds the solemn notes of taps. There will be farewell to Charles Young, but with it will be a rededication to the ideals of justice for which he lived and died. There has been expressed the desire of the family of Colonel Young that at some later date the body would be brought to America. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who was a close friend of the late Colonel, has just returned to New York, where he conferred with Mrs. Young and the colonel's mother. Captain Henry O. Atwood, who was with the Colonel in his last days, has just returned from Wilberforce, where he performed the solemn duty of taking the last words of the departed to the beloved wife and mother. It has been learned by the Associated Negro Press that it was an express of the Colonel that his remits be cremated. This could not be done in Africa. Whether the request will be ultimately carried out, or whether the remains will be brought to America and intered in Arlington cemetery, city of the so'dier dead, or in the burying ground of Wilberforce, or at Zan-sville, Ohio, where the Colonel's father is buried, has not been decided upon. SENATOR BORAH TAKES A STAND. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, DISTRICT O F COLUMBIA, Mar. 10—"I am convinced that the National government should 'step in and take a stand against the wrong of lynching." Thus spoke Senator William E. Borah, Republican of Idaho, in an interview for the Associatesd Negro Press. Senator Borah, by being appointed chairman of the sub-committee of the judiciary committee of the Senate, having charge of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, assumes the most outstanding position in the onward march of "Law and Order" since the days of the "Missouri Compromise." There is no question in the minds of those who have discussed the appointment of Senator Borah as chairman of this committee that will lead the fight for the anti-lynching bill, that if the Senator believes in it, there will be action. Continuing, Senator Borch said: "There are two things that I would have you tell the people of your race: First I wish to be satisfied that the law is Constitutional. I have sworn to uphold the constitution of the United States; therefore I cannot ask to have a law passed that I know is unconstitutional. If the law, as drawn, is constitutional, I am for it. I will go even further, if there should develop in my mind a reasonable doubt as to the constitutionality, I will then support it and let the courts decide. "Second, in the matter of hearings I think for the most part, they should be directed to the constitutional phase of the subject. The hearings should not be long drawn out, I do not think that necessary; they should be brief and to the point. "The best informed persons should be agreed upon for spokesmen, and besides oral statements, better still, briefs should be prepared for prepared for presentation to the committee." Asked when a date would be set for the hearings, Senator Borah replied that he could not set date yet, but would do so at the earliest opportunity. He spoke of his interest JOIN THE PEOPLES PARTY To: The Negro Star: The Peoples Party will establish and conduct an open forum in every county and city in the United States where mass meetings will be held. At these meetings we invite an open discussion or debate on all national and international issues. Wherever possible an organization will be formed which will become a un't in the National organization, will full voting privileges. Supported entirely by voluntary contributions, there is no membership fee, no dues or assessments. Men and women organizers wanted. Straight salary to those who qualify. Literature mailed upon receipt of ten cents. We believe that the time is now opportune for the organization of a new political party. That the two old parties are reactionary and out of sympathy with the masses. There will be no dawning of a new day until there is an expressed and accomplished desire for new politics. The trouble with Americans is that not one in a hundred takes any persistent interest in government, or knows what is being done. The most important situation that faces the people of he United States is the political situation, and the reason that is true is because every other situation, every other condition, every other phase of American life depends on and is entirely subordinate to and corollary of the political situation.

Mar. 10-On account of ill health and other duties, Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., who has been President of the Trustee Board of the Arkansas Baptist College for 30 years resigned at the recent Board meeting held at Baptist Headquarters. Little Rock, Ark. Dr. Morris was one of the founders of the Arkansas Baptist College and its first President. He was succeeded by Dr. Lawton of Missouri, who was succeeded by Dr. Garnett, now of Gary, Indiana. The present President Dr Jos A Bodker succeeded Dr Garnett and has been at the head of the school more than thirty years. For the last few months, Dr. Morris has been ill from over work and the denomination feels that he should be relieved of some of the arduous burdens which he has been carrying so long. Dr. Morris has been President of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, the organization which owns and controls the College for forty years and President of the National Baptist Convention, the largest organized body of Negro people in the world for twenty seven years. He has pastored one church at Helena, Ark., for forty three years. He will most likely devote his time now to the work of the National Baptist Convention. It is not known whether he will retain his position at the head of the state Baptist Convention, but in all probability he will round out his Forty one years which will end in November of this year. in the pending treaties, and other measures that are before the senate, and declared that ample announcement for the time of the hearings would be given.

To Our Credit at The Corner of Main and Elm Street, stands one of the best arranged and systemized Drug Stores in the city. Inside waiting to fill your every need, two specially prepared Pharmacists, who carefully follow the signs of medicine given by our skilled Physicians. It is a crime for you not to patronize the Green Drug Company and all enterprises that stand for a fair play for the Race. J That one of the main objectives of this paper is to help develop the race by helping all the people it can, in every way it can, in every locality it can, every time it can and in as large a way as it can? The special duty of the ed tor of this column is not to give its valued readers, as the title might suggest, so much news, but mainly to set-forth such expressions and interesting and humorous sayings as will start a current of thinking. I wonder how will we have succeeded in this column making. Negroes think. The ability to think sright is one of the greatest essential assets in one's life and the individual who is the proud possessor of this God given power should use it for this giver. We shall not say much this week in the usual way but we had a thought that it was necessary that the real objective of Are You Aware, as well as many other columns in this papers, is to encourage thinking on the part of our people. May we conclude with the announcement that next issue will contain some thought provoking things and we are very anxious to ascertain the number of individuals, who begin after this issue on a real never ending thinking tour.

(By The Associated Negro Press) LOS ANGELES, CALIF. Mar. 10 The next big quest on between the United States and Japan to come to the forefront is the Japanese problem in California. After Secretary of States Hughes returns from his vacation, negotiations are expected to be opened between the two governments on this question and its collateral problem of Japanese immigration into the United States. (By The Associated Negro Press) MEMPIHS, TENN. Mar. 10—U- ncle Willis Gore, Colored swore Jast week on the stand in Judge Young's court, that he was born in 1813 Judge Young asked him his age at the time the stars fell. He replied that he was old enough to go to the field. The fall was in 1833. A further interrogation of Uncle Willis brought out that he was born in Pickens County, Ala., a slave in the Gore family, his master being Thomas. The Master took him to Mississippi at an early age and they were near Holly Springs, when the Indians were moved out of that county. It is a fact that the main Chickasaw evodus was in 1835. Hence, if the old gent'eman is correct in the statement that he was a field hand in Alabama when the stars fell, and that he was in Mississippi, when the Indians moved he would be close to 109 years old. Uncle Willis says that he is one of a family of 18 brothers and sisters all by the same mother, and that he is the father of 24 children by the five wives he has had. He c'aims 54 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren and 32 great great grandchildren that he knows of, a grand total of 152 descendants. He is rather short of statue, a dark copper color, heavily built and but for a slight deafness seems to be in prime condition. ANNOUNCEMENT --- The next regular session of the Sunday School and B. Y.

Merit Won The Position. (By The Associated Negro Press) PITTSBURG, PA. Mgr. 10-In a competitive examination with five of the Lest stenographers of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Beatrice L. Bayless, wife of William P. Bayless, made the highest grade and was appointed stenographer to the Mayor of Pittsburg. It is said that Mayor William A. Mgrie is the first Mayor of the country to honor women of the race by appointing them to clerical positions. Mrs. Banyless is a graduate of the commercial department of the famous Fifth Avenue High School of Pittsburg, and also of Carnegie In titute of Technology.

BACON AR. EOPLE PRICE. FIVE CENTS NOT SAFE WITH OFFICER. (For Associated Negro Press) TEXARKANA, TEX. Mar. 10- Deputy Sheriff W. T. Jordan was arrested today following indictment for murder by the Bowle County guard jury in connection with the killing of P. Norman, a Colored man, found shot to death two and one-half miles from here recently. Jordan voluntarily surrendered when he heard a warrant for his arrest had been issued. He was later released under $3,000 bond. On February 11, Jordan went to Ashdown, Ark., to bring Norman to Texarkana. That night Jordan reported to Sheriff G. A. Richardson and Dist. Attorney Wheeler, masked men had taken the Negro from him. Next morning Norman's body, containing four bullet wounds, was found on a country road. It is said the Negro attempted to defeat himself and was killed. The circumstances were suspicious enough to cause Jordan's arrest. Oh! If Whites Only Knew Us. (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK CITY, Mar. 10—"It's too bad the white people of America cannot know us as we really are," said William Pickens of the Associated Negro Press, recently. "Fifteen Hundred people paid one dollar each to enter the Star Casino in New York City, last week and to entertain themselves with game and music, for the benefit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and to forward its great fight against lynching and other evils. There was a colored American group, for sheer physical beauty the most wonderful thing in the world. There was present every color of man and woman known to the creative powers of Nature. They were clean and bright and attractive in their manners. If only the LYNCHER could have seen this social gathering, which he in directly helped to call into being! Would he despair or would he grov mad?—He could not lynch all of these people, even, these gathered at the Casino. Some of them won't be lynched. And yet the gathering was only one-ten-thousandth of the Colored population in the United States. eral, in behalf of Maurice Mays, whose life he is trying to save. Mr. Howard, in discussing this case, said: "Our race group will never know the efforts on the part of Mr. Fowler to save the life of this man, because he believes that Mays is innocent, and he is actuated from a high sense of justice and not from the expectation of reward or the hope of reward in terms of dollar and cents. Mr. Fowler was a statutory Assistant Attorney General under former Atty General Winkersham, maintains corrections with his firm at Knoxville while acting as Special Assistant to the Attorney General in antitrust cases, his private business being of such a nature and magnitude that he cannot afford to sever his connection with it at this time. "I regard Mr. Fowler as one of the really big lawyers that this country has produced and typical of the very best Americanism. He is modest-characteristic of genius—and is not projecting himself forward in politics, preferring to devote his talents to the law which is unquestionably his bent. "If Maya' sentence is commuted to life imprisonment, it will be due to the indisfitable labors of one whom I am anxious that the race should know his full value." Mr. Fowler has prepared a considerable amount of new evidence which he has placed before Governor Taylor of Tennessee, with the hope of having the death sentence of Maurice Mays commuted.

Address all communications to either of the above persons, CITY CHURCHES' NOTES ```markdown ``` St. Paul Notes. Presiding Elder J. H. Nichol of the Wichita District, made his first appearance at St. Paul Church Sunday and was greeted with a large and appreciative audience at all the services. His theme of discourse on "Self Examination" was listened to and seemed to arouse the hearts of all to the practical application of the subject. He is an able and forceful speaker. The Quarterly Communion service at 3 o'clock was well attended by the members and pastors of the various Methodist Churches of the city. Rev C. H. Washington of Grant Memorial, delivered the Sacramental Sermon. In the evening Rev Nichols preached an able sermon on the subject of "Christian Love." This theme was presented in its broadest sense as applied to the church and the home: The fact that the church was glad to see their pastor, Rev Ransom, back again from his Denver trip, was evidenced by the splendid class meeting and love feast held on Friday night, when the old time fire seemed to prevail in the hearts of the members from the opening to the close of the meeting. The Sunday School and Endeavor League are steadily,moving forward and made good reports at the Quarterly Conference Monday night. The same can be said of all the other auxiliaries of the church. The general committee of arrangements for the Knife and Fork Baquet, are sparing no pains in their efforts to make the event a social success for the members and friends of the church. The installation of the beautiful new pipe organ will take place Sunday the 19th. Special music will be rendered by the choir and for this occasion will be principally conducted by Prof Jackson and wife of Western University. The program of all the rallying events for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings will be published next week. Next Sunday, Rev. Ransom will speak on the subject: "The First Call and Inspiration." All are invited. Calvary Baptist. Elm at Water St. Rev. John Wesley Hayes, Pastor. Sunday School, 9:30 a. m.

I am glad to say that our Sunday School is growing nicely with the management in the hands of Bro. A. R. Washington, Supt. and the B. Y. P. U. is flourishing with Bro. E. T. Newton at its head. The church is progressing in a general way led by our pastor, who is a great Christian worker. He has had a hard pull but a great deal of it seem to be over. The Lord has stood by us or we would have been forgotten. Our service was very fair Sunday; the pastor seemed to have been at his best in the morning Sermon from Isa. 55:7, text: "Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the unrighteous man his thought and let him return unto the Lord; and He will have mercy upon him;" theme: "The results of Coming to God." The pastor at the evening service seemed to have been still at himself. The sermon was pleasing from St. John 12:32; text: "And if I be lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto me;" theme: "Lifting Up Christ." We are planning now to en'arge our church Building. We ask the Christian people everywhere to pray for us. Come to our prayer meeting each Wednesday, you are welcome to all our services. We have some few on the sick list. Sister Alberta Tolbert is some better. Bro. Gray is still quite ill. Bro. Gray is still quite ill. Bro. Dumagan is quite ill. Collection $58.87. We thank God for our success, it is the Lord's way and He will bring it to pass. There will be a social entertainment at the church Friday night, March 10. All are cordially invited. Come out and we will have a big time. New Hope Baptist. Do we, like Jonah, prove ourselves disobedient when duty calls us to do a difficult task, or one that means true heredism? Instructors taught God's love for man and beast in our lesson in Sunday School, March fifth. "On to Victory," says our Sunday School. At eleven a. m., the Congregation realized that our minister, Dr. E. T. Tashback had been taught of the Lord as he preached a sermon needed by this nation end at this time. Scripture lesson text Jonah 4:10 11; subject: "A call to the Fe.lowship of the Pity of God." Do you come to the B. Y. P. U? If not, why not? It is a real pleasure to attend both the social and the study hours. Always something profitable. Eight p. m., found an eager waiting congregation. I. Cor. 4th chapter was read as a Scripture Lesson by our minister. The text and subject of his eloquent sermon follow: Isaiah 51:17, "The Heritage of the Servants of the Lord." God is wonderfully blessing New Hope. He is sending more laborers to help in this great "harvest". Monday night Dr. Walter Scott Priest, pastor of the Central Christian Church, gave a most excellent, interesting illustrated lecture at our church. Striking scenes were shown of China and Japan. The pleasing personality of the speaker, his ready flow of language interspersed with wit and humor, made the audience feel as if all were taking the trip to the orient. Will you come out Friday evening to witness a unique. high class, musical recital by a refined, educated Kickepoo Indian girl? She will be assisted by Prof. Fellows, who (as you know) is a poet and reader of rare ability. Little Katr'na Dunn has been very much indisposed. She has recovered. Upon invitation, Mrs. Ida F. Bates made a trip to Wellington Sunday, to address the Women's Missionary Society of the Baptist Church there. She addressed the Baptist Young People's Meeting also Wellington, as is her wont, made her guest's stay all that one could wish. Mrs. Rena Norwood was able to attend church services. Sunday. Mr. Samuel Card is better. His friends rejoice. Master Richard R. Parks made his initial visit to church, Sunday, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Hiram Parks. He is the youngest son in the Parks family. Mrs. Mary Mitchell, who remained critically ill for so long that at times her friends feared she would not recover, continues to improve. She has been unable to walk for twelve and one-half months. Monday afternoon she expressed the belief that she could walk, and did so. She and her friends thank God and can say, great is the Lord and greatly to be praised." ATTENTION! PUT Some of your $s to work.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MEDICAL PRISSES FIRST IN SERVICE GO to some church Sunday and help make the world a fit place in which to live, for the struggling masses that must pass this way after you have played your part. NOT what men have been BUT WHAT THEY ARE and WHAT THEY ARE STRIVING TO DO for GOD and HUMANITY is the factor that alone ought to be considered in the selection of leaders. NEGRO enterprises are dependent Alas! upon your patronage. Are you making your race great by your commercial relations with its merchants, professional men, etc or are you still a KNOCKER? It is often true that the fellow who stands as a judge of others in a self constituted court is himself lacking of those a truistic elements of success possessed by the person whom he presumes to judge; and than too hasty judgment on the part of any individual is a reasonable indication of an empty HEAD. No race can be great or attain to the sphere of successful accomplishments fitting it to world wide g'ory and honor which is made up of a mass of individual forces that cannot catch the keynote of present day inspiration which bids all men move in accord with PRINCIPLES rather than MEN. RACES of men are closer together as touches all vital problems today than at any previous period in modern history; hence those races which are seeking would recognition must exert greater care to avoid excessive radical trends which may prove detrimental rather than promoting factors. YOUR errors may close you out from the glorious visions of eternal bliss, but praise God at the hour of judgment, let it not tread in your indictment that you stood as a determined kno-ker against the program of God's Church; A back-biter against the reputation of the fellow that lived by the side of the road, and a mere check on the efforts of those who were weakly striving to do things to make your race great. If you are convicted on such an indictment even the demons of he'll will be disgraced by your association with them in the fiery pit. LOVE all men, say little and watch close; think for your race before you speak for its success. Go down with the principles and program of the Christian Church. Tell little about the affairs of other people and weigh your own sins and faults, daily. Resolve to die rather than speak against the womanhood of your race. Pick up the dirty rag of daily gossip and try to wash it and if the stain is too black, try to burn the rag up rather than pass it on to the other fellow. Try to go to the top yourself, but not at the expense of the other fellow's reputation killed by your efforts. LIVE AND DONT KILL. A failure of the United States to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynching measure recently passed by the House will have a reaction that would inspire radical elements of Negro hitters, to excesses that might stir the civilized world. Will American civilization approve of the defeat of a measure upon which the security of its citizenship must rest in these hours when extreme radical forces are born over night and resort to violence against individual life and property as means to an end? It DARE NOT for the defeat of this measure means the country is out of harmony with the progress trend of modern CHRISTIAN NATIONS. THE recent death of America's famous songster, Bert Williams, comes like a thunder bolt out of a clear sky to admirers of music, the world over. His sweet voice with which he thrilled the souls of a world's multitude, is hushed in the cold cell of death, and his race is again called to mourn the loss of one of its modern history makers. The opportunity is open WHO will fill his place in the realms of music? Heaven has again heralded the great truth to all men that famous is but for a moment and truths of a redeeming salvation thru Jesus Christ endures forever. Death knows no choice; BE YE READY applies to both great and small. BROTHER in the great program of the Church there is a place vacant that you can fill regardless of dogma or creed—Go to SOME CHURCH IN your town, SUNDAY, and do your Bit or cease to claim that you stand for anything in your community because it is a recognized fact that all forces in the world that stand for an lota are in touch with vital church elements. It is true that there are defective features in church life, and you will admit that such is true of all other phases of human actions. Get in the church and do your part to correct the defects. THE Negro of America seeks nothing but what is his within the BOUNDS of The Law; however, not the mere enactments of legislative assemblies in which he has no representation on that can appreciate the position of a struggling people, but rather the bounds of the Law that springs out of a Christ'an consciousness of God's will. And the day is fast dawning when forces impelled by God's Will will give all men that which is theirs in the game of life. England caught the spirit of this great truth and granted Egypt a free state; France is reading the message of the age and recognizing the rights of black natives; Texas yet remains to be heard from as a representative of American civilization. WHO is the great man of the race and day? YOU, if you are earning your breed fair and square and giving a part of it to the fellow that needs your aid. It doesn't matter what sort of clothes you are able to wear and what new you sit in at church; vital questions are these: Are you building a home? Are you loving GOD and HUMANITY? Are you catching the golden happiness of HARD WORK? Are you playing a game in which you beat the illuring forces of modern fashion and jazz age sentiments? Are you showing the world that horse sense is your name? Are you saving some of your money and paying God His one-tenth interest? If so, Bud, in spite of whit anybody may say you are, in the winning class for Eternal happiness. s THE essential need of the world today is a general divorcement from the clanish ideas that grow out of religious propaganda based on extremely radical theories which fail to recognize the vital principle that Christ thru a united church, working on the Holy principle of LOVE FOR ALL MEN regardless of dogma or religious affiliation will be able to get a better hearing from the masses. In other words, every particular faith in accord with the sublime plans of a high heaven has some vital work to do for the solving of civic, social, economic and religious problems that cast their clouds across the horizon of human vision; and in this bustling age, terrific denominational battles must fail of having the attractive force that is all essential to rebuild the world on the broad sphere of intellectual faith in Christ that saves all men who believe and SERVE God by service towards HUMANITY. Each Denomination with its working units, laboring in the field of endeavor and battling against the forces of Hell, must count in the glorious vic- PIGGLY WIGGLY EVERY DAY ARGAINS JELLO, all flavors, 10c BORDENS MILK, 10c CARNATION MILK, 10c HEBE MILK, .8c PIGGLY WIGGLY tory when a united church stands a conquering victor over all satanic power. To join hand in dealing with the problems of the race and age must be the intent of all colored Christian forces. Mr. Judge Neel, of 1124 E. 13th St, is slowly loproving; his son James is still indsposed. Mr. Earnest Moore of 1121 Cleveland entertained a number of friends at a smoker last Wednesday evening. We are g'ad to see Dr. N. D. Brilley up and out again. Renewed subscriptions to help foster Negro enterprise:—Mr. C. P. Edwards, J. A. Smith, and A. W. Williams. Thanks. If you are a member of your race, and one of the two Negro papers or both are not in your home—we are warting to know where that race-pride is you boost about, has wandered to. If you love the race to which you belong, get in line with those who are showing it by their actions. One of our agents will call to see you; (what will you say and do?) Hon. S. M. Briggs, Deputy State Supervisor of American Woodmen, is covering the State in the interest of the Order; was in the city on the 9th and will return on the 17th. Mr. S.

Also thanks to all for the beautiful floral offerings. G. L. A. Club Meeting. Visitors' Day was the very pleasant feature for the meeting of the G. L. A. Club on Tuesday afternoon.

Hutcherson, the members of the quartett are Messrs Arthur Degrafenread, James Taylor, Misses Mildred Griffin and Leola Parks. Mr. Oscar Garrett, of 1145 N Mosley Ave., died of pneumonia early this morning at the St. Francis Hospital. Mr. Garrett had been ill for 11 days. He was a member of the uniform rank of the K. of P. and also was a Mason. Funeral arrangements have not been completed; awaiting the coming of relatives.

We dismissed prayer meeting Sunday night and it seems that the sinners like to be with us at all times and to enjoy the meeting. Kev John Wilson was on the sick list, but is able to be up again. Sister King has been down with the grip, but is on the mend. We just received a message that Sister Porter is not doing so well. The Home and Foreign Mission had a lovely session this week. Bro.

Last Sunday was another beautiful day in the service of the Lord. Sunday School was opened at its usual time with the Supt., and officers present to enjoy a another great lesson about Jonah's Missionary Adventure—a wonderful lesson. Jonah was called to world mission and so are we. Jonah at first refused compliance with the Divine purpose and are we Jonah was punished by being cast into the sea and so will we as Christian in the world; if we do not give to God's people.
