Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Negroes Will Not Be Divided. B. C. RANNAVALONA, PH. D. E. C. Tucker, a typical Southerner, undoubtedly of the semi-civilized type due to the fact that he has qualified and served as a prison guard in the Alabama penitentiary, recently while in Wichita, to secure a Negro prisoner who had escaped from that prison, made the assertion "That the Kansas Negroes Are As Different From The Recl Southern Negro as The White Race Is From The Colored; Your Colored Folks Are Civilized; Ours Are Animals," he asserts according to a local daily. Tucker will never reach a place in the minds of sensible, thinking people where any statement he may make relative to the Negro would be regarded authoritative due to the fact that as a southern prison official, his opportunities to come in touch with the better classes of southern Negroes has been limited as they maintain a social line which places southern prison guards entirely under the ban due to the uncivilized methods which are known to be practiced in southern prisons; against members of the colored race; and especially is this true of Alabama prisons. Such articles do no attract the intelligent colored people and are only deserving of answer because of the forces allied to put such statements over for the sole purpose of creating a sense of superiority on the part of some colored people with the end in view of arresting the organized forces of the race that are inclined to work thru organized co-operation for the best interests of the race as a whole. The race must be alert to the fact the "NIGGER HATING" southerner, has read the handwriting on the wall of progressive Christianity and Civilization which reads that the South will have to line up for better treatment of the race. The passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill thru the Lower House of Congress was the echo of Public Opinion against the Southern States. What more to be expected than that nasty propaganda out of the South should sweep the country and have as its purpose the dividing of the colored race on a question of class superiority within the race; a colored line within the race and other trash of a similar type. First. The intelligent colored man will not and does not admit that there is any radical difference between a white man and a colored man only as one has had superior opportunities for racial improvement over the other Second. If the Negroes of any section of the South are exhibiting characteristics similar to the lower forms or animal life, they have not proved it by their combative temperament. A like number of wolves, panthers, tigers or lions subjected to like treatment within the last fifty years would have devoured their oppressors or have been exterminated as a measure of public safety. They have not yet proved that they are animals by their unnatural propensities towards sexual beastiality. The mulattoes of the South indicate that the animal is to be found in the other cage. They have never been known to burn any human being at the stake, lynch mothers carrying unborn babies, nor assemble enmassed to glare at the savage riffles of a southern lynching party. If the attitude of the better thinking white people of the South toward the working class of Negroes counts for anything he does not stand as an animal the sense expressed by the ignorant Tucker for they eat bread and meat cooked by the animal; allow their children to nurse the breast of the female of this new southern Negro animal specie, etc; and more, all types of white in the South have a tendency, if statistics are true, to seek the females of this new animal specie as a common prey for the asserting of the most divine power of specie perpetuation possessed by the human family. Lord help now the southern menhood that associates with such animals. These colored skin animals to be found roaming the wilds of Alabama Vol.14,No.3, --- and other sections of the South-land through which Tucker, perhaps, has hunted and met with success due to the fear of the females of the species which fear the females of the race in Kansas, does not hold thanks to the high class type of white citizenship which impelled by a spirit of Christian good will has made impossible through the enactment of laws based upon the principles of absolute justice and Liberty, have the finest schools, colleges and universities of any similar race group in the world. They have produced over two-thirds of America's great NEGRO LEADERS in all professions and walks of life; and today control the property interest held by the race in the country; which, after all is going some for animals. Now such propaganda must and will materially fail of its purpose in dividing the race and removing cooperative attention towards the fundamental issues at stake in the country which involve the future success of the race. As a race the Negro has long since learn that South, East, West and North they rise or fall together. If they could be divided in prayers, racial aspirations and organized passive resistance to overcome the barriers of racial prejudice by a sinister propaganda which would effectively destroy racial solidarity the hope of the race hating southerner would have been realized. Such seed was spread in Africa, India, and Haiti, and the results are matters of record. If there are persons in Kansas who are so weak mentally that they are unable to detect the hidden danger of accepting such statements, and allowing a feeling of racial superiority to develop out of them, it would be better for the masses of their race, had they passed from the stage of action before this period, when the great solution of human problems demands absolutes racial cooperation based on a common sense of equal brotherhood which has been tied by the ancestral bond of blood. The better type of whte people of the South-land who now stand out to do battle for the colored race to the end that fair play be shown them, regard such statements with the utmost contempt. The only regret is that a poor, Negro convict had to associate with such ill advised companionship on his return to a prison filled with human beings who in a great measure are the result of a system of southern brutality made possible by such as the semi-savage prison keeper in whose charge he was forced to make his departure. All Kansas Christians breathe a prayer that the poor animal will not be slaughtered on his arrival in Alabama. If the southern Negro lives for sociability and ease, it mercy proves that he possesses the power of adaptability, and is following out after what was once termed the flower of the South or slave holding element. The Negroes of Kansas, nor any other State will not go down in racial glee or elites class adoration because of Tucker's ignorant compliments, which have a scent of the same hidden force that inspired "Color Line Sentiments" from a money purchaser Negro writer, recently. As a race, we must stand united and determined to lift our brothers of the Southland, who, through lack of justice and ordinary human rights have been den'd the opportunities for the fullness of AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP and that sublime protection which ought to afford. Organization within the race which will recognize no shade of color nor texture of hair, but will stand out on the TRUTH, that Negroes, South or North are firmly together in an alliance of passive resistance against all things which opposed the successful progress of the race towards higher grounds of CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP and the SUBLIME PRINCIPLES of AMERICANISM in Square - Deal Merchants Advertise In Race Paper. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, May 12, 1922. COMMENDATION. TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN: Eldorado, Kans., March 31, 1022. We the Committee that was appointed by the Second Baptist Chuuch at Eldorado, Kansas, to write a letter of commendation of Rev. J. Reeves, who has pastored us for the last four years. We voice the sentiment of the whole church when we say his work has been exceptionally fine and he is held with us in the highest regards. He is nimble in character, a most agreeable companion, a man full of generosity and sympathy, a splendid pastor and a Gospel preacher. He is chuck full of fine sentiment, warm hearted for all those who hate him. He is suave and pious. We hereby recommend him to all who may solicit his service. When he came to us our membership was very small. We have built up numerically, financially and ranked first class with both district and state. By his own request he is leaving us, answering the call of another church in Iowa, praying for his service. While we regret to gve him up, we pray that the spirit of the Lord may rest upon him in his new field of labor. In view of the Reverend's achievement ment'oned above, we wish to say he has not been alone in his work, his loving wife has been very congruous to his welfare. She has not only built up the Sunday School, but she has been a potent factor for good throughout all his church work. America Disgraced By Lynching Habit. METHODIST BISHOPS DECLARE IT MUST BE UTTERLY ABOLISHED. HOT SPRINGS, ARK, May 12. (Special) The official weight of the Method st Episcopal Church, South, numbering two and a quarter million members, was thrown into the balance against lynching by the Quadrennial Address of the College of Bishops to the General Conference now in session here. -Having commented on the Negro's "commendable zeal" in the effort for education and on the remarkable progress made by the rice since it emerged from slavery, the bishops continue: "We urge our people everywhere to do all they can for the uplifting of the Negroes in preparation for a safe and helpful citizenship. This implies that they shall have complete justice where their lawful rights are concerned. We especially urge that everything possible be done to prevent lynchings, which are no less a drague to those who engage in them than they are an outrage upon the helpless victims. This crime of crimes, which is not only a complete subversion of law but a stroke at the life of law itself, has discredited our nation in the eyes of other civilized nations and brought undying obloquy upon many of the States of the Union. It is hoped that the States will continue to legislate against this shameful crime and that the public conscience will be speedily so aroused that it will be utterly abolished." RACIAL WEALTH, EDUCATION, and NODILITY OF INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER. And, with such a platform, propaganda that would install racial discord must ever stand out as one huge joke both against the element of Negroes who would perhaps be delighted to imagine such in propositions and the silent forces of the Ku Klux Klan or other evil influences seeking to produce a spirit of racial discord and arrest united racial co-operation for the general good of all Negroes. Race leaders must watch such propaganda and prayerfully combat its detrimental trend toward the complete undermining of the social fabric of the race. The amazing puzzle is just how a metropolitan press could countenance the publication of such an article and seek Negro patronage. NEWS OF THE THEOLOGICAL BAPTIST SEMINARY. By Rev. I. L. Stewart, Topela, Kana Only a few more days and the first term of the Central Baptist Seminary will pass into history as one, of a great success. The writer of this article can truthfully bear witness of this fact. The entire session has been one of activity from start to finish. I am sure the students who attended the Seminary this year will work hard to re-enter next year. It is very painful indeed to the students to learn that Dr. W. H. Young will not be able to act as dean for the school next year. Dr. Young cannot fill the chair of dean next year because of his pastoral duties. Rev. S. J. Williams was called away to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to conduct a revival meeting for the Rev. Conner. He reported twenty-five accessions through his Gospel message delivered while there. Rev. M. J. Burton, pastor of The Second Baptist Church acted as dear in Dr. Williams' place. The class admired Dr. Burton's method of teaching Theology, and he made for himself a warm spot in the hearts of the student body. To bring up the subject of not having Dr. Young as dean next year means gloom and sadness to the class. Every young Baptist preacher in Kansas should attend the Baptist Theological Seminary and prepare himself to meet the great demand that is being made for prepared ministers. No young man should attempt to preach to the people now, if he hasn't had a Theological training. I is true that God prepares men spiritually to preach the word, but men must train them to apply the word. In nearly every vocation of life men and women are being educated and trained to do real effectual work in whatever vocation they might pursue, but the min'ster whose work is the greatest of all seems to be less concerned than any one else. Savin souls is the most important work that can be engaged in, yet it is less considered by the people as a whole. Rev. Adair of the Seminary preached for the people of Perry on last Sunday. He reported a great meeting Mrs. Logan made a flying trip to her home in Pexico, a few days ago and the whole class wondered why she rushed home, however they later found out that she went home to plan her potatoes. Rev. James Martin will preach for the Community Services in the Pierce Addition on next Sunday night. The writer is conducting the Community Services each Sunday evening in the Pierce Addition. Rev. C. P. Morrow, pastor of the Baptist Church of Ottawa, who is here conducting a revival for the Rev Gaines of the Third Baptist Church was a visitor of the Seminary on third, and spoke very encouraging of the work that is being done by the students and dean of the Seminary. He pledged his support to the Seminary, the promoters, and the young ministers of the Seminary. Rev Galnes also accompanied him on his visit. The students are rejoicing over the return of Dean Young who has been away for severalt weeks in the State of Washington and Utah, conducting revival meetings. Mrs. Young are companion him on the trip. He was received with much enthusiasm by the students of the Seminary. We shall give you the details of their trip in our next writing. Fled for Safety. (By The Associated Negro Press) HAMILTON, ONT., May 12—Bellef of rumors that members of the Ku Klux Klan had pledged themselves to kidnap him and take him back to Norlina, N. C., to face charges of murder and in-iting riot, has caused Matthew Bullock, American Negro, to seek refuge on another continent, his friends said today. Bullock evaded extradition twice, and fled when rumors of Ku Klux Klan intercest in his case reached him. NEGRO ILLITERACY NORTH AND SOUTH REDUCED TWENTY PER CENT DURING LAST DECADE. (For Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Mty 12—(Special) The public schools of the South are making progress in eliminating illiteracy among the Negro s The 1920 census showed about 300,000 less colored illiterates than that of 1910. In 1910 the percentage of colored illiteracy in the South was 33.3. In 1920 it had dropped to 26.3. This leaves 1,753,000 Negroes who cannot write. Georgia has the greatest number of these illiterates 201,115, a percentage of 29.1. Louisiana with 206,730, had the highest percentage of illiteracy, 8.5. Other states which still have great masses of colored illiterates are Alabama, with 210,600,oa 31.3 per cent, Mississippi, with 205,813, or 9.3 percent, and South Carolina with 31,422, or 29.3 per cent. Every Southdown State showed a marked reduction in illiteracy between 1910 and 1920. Every Northen State also showed a decrease this would indicate that the Negroes migrating were mostly able to read therefore they would have increased illiteracy in the North. The percentage of illiteracy among Northern Negroes is much less than among Southern Negroes, being 26 per cent in the South and eight per cent in the North. Every Southern State also shows a marked increase in the proportion of Negro children in school. For the south as a whole slightly over half of the Negro children are reported in school, while in the North slightly over 60 per cent are in school. Calina, Kansas.

(By The Associated Negro Press) FRESNO, CAL., May 12—Seven members of the Fresno police force were discharged by Mayor Truman G. Jart, for being members of the Ku Klux Klan. PRICE. FIVE CENTS THE RIGHT STEP. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL., May 12—Ridicule of races, nations and creeds through the use of nicknames in motion pictures is to be stopped in Chicago, if an amendment to the moving-picture censorship ordinance proposed by Ald. Robert Jackson, colored, and approved by a subcommittee of the city council judiciary committee, becomes law. The proposed amendment would prohibit the appearance on the screens of such words as "kike," "nigger," "dago," "coon," "Turk," "mick," or "darkey." In addition, all terms, titles or phrases which reflect ridicule on a race, nation, religious denomination or constituted authority of law would be prohibited. In presenting the amendment Ald. Jackson took censors of pictures to task for regarding nicknames of races as funny, while they were quick to object to any reflections on religion. Aldermer Olsen, Coughlin, Mrderom, and Brieske the other members of the subcommittee, voted with Ald. Jackson to recommend the amendment to the entire committee. Community Work Good In South. (By The Associated Negro Press) GREENVILLE, S. C., May 12—Community work among the colored people in the South is taking on new life, it is evidenced by the fact that Mr. E. T. Attwell, Field Director, of the Bureau of Colored Work of Community Service, recently addressed a mass meeting of over 2,000 persons in Textile Hall, here. In his plea foretterment of all things affecting our people, Mr. Attwell explained that the best results can only be obtained by seeing that the lifetime time of the individual be cared for. "We need not worry about the man or woman, boy or girl who is in church, neither need we worry about the person that is at work," said Mr. Attwell in his address, "but we do need to concern ourselves with the way our people spend their leisure time." This meeting is said to be the largest meeting held in Greenville, since ear days, and was held in the interest of colored organizations in the community Fund Drive. The colored citizens of Greenville, have purchased a community center, have have raised fifteen hundred dollars in a recent drive in a campaign for funds, and are employing a full time community service worker. Right But Patient. (By The Associated Negro Press) LEXINGTON, VA., May 12—Allerging the illness of one of its attorneys, the Virginia Military Institute this morning in the circuit court of Rockbridge County, asked for a continuance of the case in which it is involved with Col. Robert T. Kerlin, late of its faculty. Col. Kerlin's counsel was ready but consented to the continuance which will be until the September term of court. There has been nation-wide interest in this case because of the great issues involved and because of the novelty of a discharged professor holding a board responsible in the courts for high handed despot sm. Prof. Kerlin was dismissed for writing a letter to the governor of Arkansas, in which he criticized the conduct in the Elaine Riot case. He used the school for $50,000. The professor in this case happens to be a fighting man, conscious of a cause that is just. Whiskers Protected By Law.

Mrs. Henry Wilson, a sister of Mrs. Kirthey is also ill at her home, 705 W. 13th St. We sincerely hope that the Board Meeting which convenes at Ellsworth, this week, will be a grand and glorious success, but the only way for this meeting to be a success is for each deacon and each member of every church in this District to have done their individual duties during this quarter; not shirking from any church duties or obligations. Let us not be contented with just the mere fact that people say we are church members, but make the world know that we are Christians. And if we are Christians (Christ like) we will all do our Christian duties, and then not only will our Board Meeting be a success, but our Christian War-fare will be a success. Note—I solicit the prayers of every intelligent thinking Christian Negro in the State of Kansas for Mayor Burton of Kansas City, Kans., who in his debate with the Ku Klux Klan (Sunday, May 7,) took such a bold, Christian gentleman stand for the Negro.

Corner 11th and Mosley. Rev. H. H. Edmond, Pastor. Sunday was spent with many blessings, beginning with S. S., studying of Isaiah telling the people how to make peace and keep it; was his first sermon; what peace and happiness they would enjoy if they look to God, but if they did not, what would become of the wicked. With the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. A lovely lesson was pictured out to us. When we shall have peace, and study war no more in our homes, churches, schools and everywhere by those who know Jesus Christ and follow Him daily, that we might have peace within ourselves then we will have national peace. At 11 a. m., Rev. A. J. Jackson opened service, sirging, "O for a closer wrlk with God." Reading Ex. 4:1-7; and 43rd Psalm for Scripture lesson. Sunday was our general class day which we all enjoy, telling the blessings that God has given us in the past month. The Holy Spirit was in our midst and we feel that it was a blessing from God. At 6:00 p. m., Epworth League opened by President Mr. Brown; the lesson of Sowing seed, was beautifully discussed. How that a young plant grows in good soil. At 8:00 p. m., 143rd Psalm was read for Scripture lesson, by Rev. Jackson; he spoke on, "Teach me to do Thy will." A beautiful lesson was pictured out in doing His will. Every Tuesday evening the N.

THE ASSOCIATED MIDDLE PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE THERE is but one thing for America to do, GET OUT OF HAITI. It is enough to have the playground of racial prejudice which was born on American soil, remain in America. as a race man. The viper has laid its fangs on the white American and to kill it he must battle for the interest of your race. God in His wisdom is about to use a hell-born organization to arouse the minds of all Americans to the suffering of your race. Stand fast and watch the mysteries of God end the Divine working out of HUMAN PROBLEMS by the hidden forces of Heaven. It is worth $1.50 to tell the world you are not dead. It thinks you were born dead. Connect with The Star-B. H. Neely will change the world's attitude about you. As a people we are badly in need more MEN and less indefinite leaders; more WOMEN and not so many society craved BELLES. GOD is Right, Holy, Just and Merciful and we can see His image in His servants when it is there. North nor South keeps them from speaking the truth—the Bishop at Hot Springs, Arkansas, spoke boldly, a few days ago. See other column. 5 AII! AII! 'We Knowed It, We Knowed It.' Texas running true to form but just a few days behind schedule, lynches four Negroes; three by burning and one by the ordinary method of American mob violence. The scent of human flesh burning is becoming so common in this country, that the world may shortly adopt a movement to send missionaries to this country; and sure, TEXAS NEEDS them worse than AFRICA or INDIA. THE Gospel broadens the minds of the people as it fills the souls and the world sees the results by beautiful edifices erected. St. Mary is demonstrating; they are digging out and making ready for a larger and more beautiful church. Rev. J. E. Douglass is the power distributer to the people and they are moving according to Heaven's orders. As an organization, the Ku Klux Klan is about at the summit of its successes or if not the American Government is about to sink to the lowest stage of a Government by the people, for the people and of the people. It is out of all reason that The Invisible Empire and The American Republic Can Stand on American soil. The Negro is now engaged in watchful waiting; yet it will be well for the Invisible Empire to remember that at the call to arms, he will be found a mighty factor, battling against all forms of radicalism whether it strikes his life or the government which by rights ought to rise even in this hour to his defense. THE race has no time to stop along the way and hear the cry of the knocker that stands opposing everything that has not been touched by His hand nor developed through and by His advice. True leadership never offers to denounce movements which have been endorsed by Christ'an thinkers until it has been advised of the definite objective toward which the movement is aimed. GO to some Evangelical Church Sunday, Brother, and help the Christian forces of your race play the game for God by asserting the full force of your manhood and character for the Christian upliftment of your people and country. Oh yes, you may think that you do not count but will but let God and Ilis Church use your talent and influence. BROTHER, what if they do knock you, battle on to the end. You win, if you can be clever enough to hear the knock, and smile. Every knock is said to be a boost; and if not, it is at least a sign that you are ahead of some fellow in the game. The Negro needs many things perhaps that he will not gain by listening to every wind that blows nor every so-called racial leader. As a race, we need more self-sacrifice followers and lesser number of radical disturbers of racial concord. Some men must have notice in order to feast on public opinion and revel in a glorified ego which to all but they themselves which shines forth as mere NOTIING, and to get such, they lans up as knockers, opposers and reformers, without a following. THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL must be passed if the Republican Party has any records for its party pledges. If no such regard is held, then the Negro will have to do some advanced thinking before the next election. The mass of Negroes still have faith in the party that retains a majority in the United States Senate. A failure to pass the measure may destroy that faith, without which the old party will lose an asset. ANY man or group of men guilty of criminal attacks against women of any creed, color or race ought to die, and that too without a long drawn out criminal procedure. Yet, no man or group of men ought to be subject to trial by 'Judge Lynch' a method of procedure which is standing out as the black spot and curse of American civilization. If the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is not passed by the Senate, THE WORM MAY TURN. WHILE we wish for our friends the best, we can't help from feeling sorrow for our friend and Bro. J. Reeves, who is now called to pastor in Iowa. He and his wife are winners of the hearts of men and women. They are true friends of Jesus, therefore, they have ways like their older brother and friend and that makes them friends to everybody. They are more than that, they have ideals and ability, which make things go upward. While we sympathize with Eldorado, we rejoice with the church in town, because the lights have come,—arise and walk in the lights. SILENT Contempt-Passive Resistance based upon sincere devotion to the tenets of the Christian Religion. With these factors to do battle with, no race can lose. PATRONIZE those things which are doing the most for the race along a conservative line of endeavor. Nothing that tends to produce radict sentiment during the present period of American History can be productive of tangible good for the race. Amistaken idea as to just what constitutes the lowering of racial dignity has had much to do with prohibiting the Christian solution of the HUMAN PROBLEM OF AMERICA, and in this respect the other race has not had all the fault on its side of the fence. Sometimes when racial opportunities have been within the grasp of our race we have such a vision that we cannot appreciate the fact. No man is greater than his race and no man has a right to think that he is greter than the common people who go to make up his racial group. BROTHER, hold your mouth and watch, it is not your move yet, THE truth of the matter is that the Ku Klux Klan has a more minister purpose than merely maintaining white supremacy and protecting the virtue of the white skin woman, both of which propositions are absurd; in as much as one is unconstitutional and the other unnecessary. As a matter of fact Ku Klux Klan has more of the ring that might be expected from an organization pledged to restore the Southern Confederation. Watch and pray, yet be ye ever ready first by passive resistance and then by such power as God may direct, for the stability and eternal glory of America and successful progress of the Negro. I will arise and return to my fatherland, AFRICA—NOI, NOI. The Human PROBLEMS of the world are to be solved in AMERICA, and I will play the game of natural born man and be in it at the finish right here in old U. S. A. The battle forces are now moving forward to the vantage point and it will be either by the power of THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH or the devouring force of radicalism, that America is to be awakened to a complete sense of her CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBILITIES. The duty of the Negro is to be on the battling ground and fire heated shots for the right in the terrific struggle of moral forces which all passing events predict must be fought in America.

(By The Associated Negro Press) TORONTO, CAN., May 12—The first anniversary of the organization of the Coleridge-Taylor choir was celebrated at the Chestnutt Street Methodist Church, under the direction of Robert P. Edwards, conductor, and Ernest A. Richardson, associate conductor. The chorus of forty-five voices excelled in their rendering of a number of the old jubilee songs, while the two original compositions "Simply Trusting" and "Ode to Canada" were outstanding features of a varied and attractive program. Southern melodies, folk songs, gems from the famous cantata, "Daniel" with three fine quartettes, combined to show the progress which this standard chorus of Toronto's colored singers has been making in its musical career. The accompanists were Mrs Serena Bass and Mrs. J. Alonzo Jenkins. The directors of the chorus are Mr. Isaac Lewis, Mr. Charles Sharpe, Mr. Richard Carter, Mr. Charles Jackson, Mr. Leon Joseph and Mr. J. Alonzo Jenkins. The intention, as expressed in their own words, "is to create a standard chorus that will be an honor to the community, a credit to our race and approved of the God Who gave ear to the songs of our fathers."

For the first time in the history of the State Young Men's Christian Association, through the initiative of the Water Street Y. M. C.

Five boys will go from Wichita, four from Pittsburg, three from Topeka, and three from Emporia. It will be recalled that the Hi-Y Clubs in the latter three cities were organized mainly because of the record of our local club. They were all organized this year, by our own Secretary. He will be one of the readers at the camp, and will have the oversight of the colored delegation.
