Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Will America Reach Reach Her Zenith? (For The Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK, N. Y., June 21-Cliffton F. Richardson, of Houston, Texas, exemplifies the best courage that God has made in man. He is editor of the "Houston Informer," a weekly paper. He ranks not only among the most courageous of humans-in-general, but what is more than that: he is one of the most courageous Negroes in the southern United States. The highest and truest type of courage on this planet is that of a black man in Mississippi or Texas. It requires more courage for a black man in Texas to be a normal human being than for a a black man in Texas dares to walk and talk and act as a normal human being; he is in much more danger of his life than is the white Texan who tries the dare-devil business. It requires more courage, for a Negro to ride on a Pullman car in Texas than for a white to face and fight a dozen robber bandits. If the white Texan fought off the bandits and saved his purse, he would be praised by all men and perhaps rewarded; but if a Negro in a Pullman fought off his would-be murderer and saved his life, he would next have to fight every other white man in the state from the governor down. He would find more hell after he extricated himself from the Pullman car than he found in it. A few days ago colored women were forced to get out of the drawing-room of a pullman car in Texas, not "handkerchief-heads," but beautiful, bright, clean, young women, two of them secretaries of the national W. W. C. A., and one a lady physician. Now, a drawing-room is more "separate" from the rest of a Pullman car than is the Jim row end from the rest of a day coach. This shows the whole hypocracy: the objection is not to contact with colored people, but to comforts for colored people. The chivalrous Texas gentlemen could not bear the thought that colored women were riding in comfort, even though these women were locked in their own drawing-room and could not be seen. It requires more courage for a Negro editor in Texas to speak and print the truth in time of peace, than for any white editor to print treason in time of war. Clifton F. Richardson has been speaking the truth through his "Informer," and they are naturally lying in wait for any such Negro. The officers of the law will shield themselves under the cloak of public authority and do to such a Negro what the mob dares not attempt. For some filmsy excuse they will arrest him and get him down to the police station, or "slaughter pen," as Richardson aptly calls it. They arrested Richardson. As he was driving his car into the garage, he heard some one in a swiftly passing automobile yell out to him: "Hey!" Thinking that some acquaintance had merely greeted him, he drove in. A minute later two white officers, in plain clothes rushed into the garage, guns in hand, and threatened him with instant death for not stopping when one of them yelled "Hey!" to him. They called it resisting arrest" and would (as one was overheard to say later) have killed him on the spot if a hundred colored folk had not been attracted by the racket as possible witnesses. And what was the charge? What was the high crime? "Your tail light wun't burnin'!" (They were probably lying, for that fixtures proved to be in perfect order.) And instead of giving him an order to appear at court, they took him in the company of his wife to the police headquarters "to make bond." It was late at night, and they hoped to keep him locked up.) At this municipal slaughter house is where the real "fun" began; the little policemen from every nook and corner rushed out at the news of an "educated nigger" to jeer and jibe and LINCOLN'S STATUE HAS HISTORY. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. June 2. There is a statue of Abraham Lincoln here that is seldom seen by visitors. This due to the fact that it is located in Lincoln Park about one mile east of the Capitol, which is away from the present principal residents and business section of the national capital. When it is statue was first erected, however, that part cular section of the city was as much frequented as any other. The interesting feature of this statue is the fact that its erection was suggested by a former slave, and its entire cost was contributed by former slaves. On the base of the statue may be seen the following explanatory bronze tablet: FREEDOM'S MEMORIAL. "In grateful memory of Abraham Lincoln this monument was erected by the Western Sanitary Commission of St. Louis, Missouri, with funds contributed solely by emancipated citizens of the United States declared free by h's proclamation, January 1st, A. D. 1863. The first contribution of Five Dollars was made by Charlotte Scoot, a freed woman of Virginia, being her first earning in freedom and consecrated by her suggestion and request on the day she heard of President Lincoln's death to build a monument to his memory." mock an insult and beat him. Just as buzzards might flock together at the smell of carrion,—only a dirty Negro would not attract half so much attention an attack. The defenders of society then did then did the nastiest, valest, most unreportable swearing in the face of his wife. No charges had yet been placed against him; no resistance to authority had been offered by him. There was no reason for their attacks except such reasons as jackasses might have for braying at and kicking a trapped lion. Then a wealthy colored citizen came in to make bond for the editor. They swore at this bondman and threatened him with physical violence. They asked him to get a bank to sign with him at eleven o'clock at night, and they tried every scheme to drive him off—even though this Negro was worth more money than the mayor of the city and the whole police force combined. (Let all those "solvers") take note, who believe that if the Negro gets plenty of money, he will get "respect." And the last heard of the matter, the mayor and higher officials were "investigating." But Richardson! Did this cower him? Not any more than the tongue and the lash of Xerxes cowered the sea. Read the very next issue of the "Informer" and let it do your puny heart good. They might as well have tried to alter the law of gravitation as break the courage of Richardson with their contemptible savages. On his front page and in his editorial coums, he speaks his undaunted soul. He tells them by detailed comparisons just where they stand in civilization, and then he describes their cowardice: "They seldom use force on prisoners or citizens until they get down there (at police station) with 'the gang,' and when a colored person, on business or as a prisoner, enters the MUNICIPAL SLAUGHTER SHOP, the 'gang' begins to congregate from all sections of the building and then the 'fun' (from their viewpoint) picks up; jaunts, jeers, cursing, kicking, slapping, knocking off hats and drubbings over the head with keys, clubs and six shooters." And the worst part of it is, that civilized white Americans will persist in believing that a Negro must do something wrong in order to be treated in this way. But thank God for a man like Richardson! Even if he should not live long, he is good while he hats. St. Louis Send H. T. Sims, 1241 Wabash Avenue, Wichita, Kansas, $10.00, if you want reservation in the Kansas Car.

(By The Associated Negro Press) MAUON, GA., June 2.—Escape from a blood thirsty mob is a rare experience. James Denson, with a death sentence hanging over him did it, and he tells the story in a thrilling fashion. Denson's case has been appealed, and the Supreme Court has denied further hearing. June 16, is the date set for his hanging, but he may yet escape the noose, because of this escape. "I'm sure mighty proud to be here," was Jim's smiling comment, even though the sentence to be hanged June 16, for an a.leged attack on an aged white woman three, years ago still stares him in the face. Jim however, had some reason to smile beyond his escape from the mob, because numerous white people in this an Wilkinson County, believing his escape was an act of Providence, were considering an appeal to Gov. Harwick for commutation to life imprisonment. The cooled Tan after having safely settled himself in the jail here, told the story of his escape, which, in addition to the details of the mob's act on in breaking into the jail at Irvington, early Tuesday, van as flows: "They tied a rope around my neck. Then they dragged me into the automobile. I asked them to let me pray and they replied they hadn't time. "I heard them say they would shoot me just out of town. The knot on the rope around my neck was choking me. I reached up one hand in the dark and felt the slip knot. I untied it. The automobile was going thirty miles an hour, and says to myself, "Jim, jump or be killed." I jumped feet first, fiam-flooy, and I hit the ground on my feet and then on my head and then I must have flopped over four times and rolled into the ditch. "When I got out of the ditch several shots were fired at me. I crawled, but they kept on firing, I got up again and ran. I was barefooted, my clothes were torn off me, and the gravel cut my feet." The colored man said he obtained brard from another colored man at sun up and then crawled into a swamp where he spent the day and night. Growing hungry, he said he crawled out to get some wild plums and then he heard Bloodhounds on his trail. "Pretty soon a white hound came upon me," the colored man continued. "I kept jumpin' from one side of the creek to the other. I couldn't shake him off. He got right up to my hee s, so I stopped, snapped my fingers at him and, lowdy! he curled his tail and walked right up to me. I took off my my belt and tied him to me." The colored man had the hound tied to him, was playing with a second hound, and was fighting off a third when the sheriff's posse reached him. MODERN METHODS STILL BEHIND EGYPT. CHICAGO, ILL. June 2.—Evidence that the ancient Egyptians had practical knowledge of modern major operations is found in the "Edwin Smith" papyrus recently translated at the University of Chicago by Professor James H. Bressted of the Department of Oriental Languages and L'iterature. The papyrus, 15 feet long, discovered by Smith in 1853 and the subject of years' of study by scholars, was written in 1700 B. C., and describes in detritil methods of diagnosis and treatment employed by the ancient surgeons. Operations which today are considered highly technical, including trophing of the skull in case of fracture, and draining ulcers of the jaw, were not unusual 3,600 years ago, according to the manuscript. St. Matthews C. M. E. Rev. H. H. Edmond, Pastor. Corner 11th and Mosley. Sunday was a beautiful day; opening with the Sunday School on time by the superintendent, Mrs. A. J. Jackson. Subject: "Jeremiah Speaks Boldly for God." Golden Text:—"Amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God." We have been studying of the kings and when they began their work, some were very young, but this man Jeremiah did what the Lord would have us to do. The lesson was beautifully explained; if the people would only speak for God. At 11 a.m., the pastor opened service by singing, "O for a closer walk with God;" reading for Scripture lesson, first, Jeremiah 26:1-16; second lesson, Hebrews 9:1-19. Subject of lesson is found in the first lesson, 10th and 11th verses. The sermon was enlightening to all present. At 6 p. m., the Epworth League opened by the President, Mr. J. B. Brown. The discussion was very interesting. At 8 p. m., evening service, Scripture lesson, Gen. 1:24-29 read by the pastor from which he spoke.

Tylor, P. E., teld his NEW YORK, N. Y., June 2.—Rev. Maynard Holbock Jackson, National Field Secretary of Baptist Foreign Mission Board is to sail for Africa, Juuc 11, where he will make survey of Christian Work and general conditions. Rev. Jackson, who is a University man has seen clearly enough the future of Africa to devote his energies to the development of that continent and has for the past three years done a great deal to elevate the general attude towards African missons. Our racial groups in all the states most of which have heard the messages of this advocate of a sane African policy of development and intercourse and co-operation will be pleased to know that he goes to make a thorough survey and that the friends of Africa in this country may have an opportunity of hearing, reading and seeing the facts of the Dark Continent in tangible form. Mr. Jackson's preparation is thorough and his career as a student and graduate at the Chicago and Northwestern Universities, as well as Moorhouse College suggests that the result of his visit to Africa will be of much value. His stories will be released through the Associated Negro Press. Two Children Burn To Death. (Preston News Service) LITTLE, ROCK, ARK., May 31, It became known last Monday that little Lovella Huggins, aged 2, and her brother Leroy Huggins, aged 4, were burned to death when their home was destroyed by fire on Feb. 14, last. The children were left at home by their parents who were at work. The family lived in the country now here. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Huggins, parents, were at work in a field when they saw their home in flames. They could not enter the house as the flames had enveloped it before they could come to the rescue of their children. The matter was reported to the coroner last week and he conducted an inquest and returned a verdict that the children met their deaths from burns received when their home was destroyed by fire. Fred and George. (Preston News Service) Adcman George W. Harris and the Kon. Fred K. Moore appeared on the same bill the other night and shared honors in advocating greater support so that those carrying on the fight for the Dyer Bill will go to the front nerved with the knowledge that the race as a whoe is behind them. Of course, none present dared hope the miracle of the age would be performed on the auspicious occasion and that is that George and Fred would fall on each other's shoulders and weep for the joy of again meeting on the same platform to advocate something for the common good of the race. CHANDLER OWEN. RADICAL.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS (For the Associated Negro Press) Titus Coleman, born in 1896, twenty-seven years from the day which we are writing, was the offspring of very poor parents. Coleman was left in this big world without a brother, sister, or distant relative. Hence, his father and poor mother sent him to the best common school in town, for they lived in Natchez, a small town in Louisiana, a state known as the Creole State, was educated as high as he could be in such a small institution, where, after 1887, when his father was killed by a train, and his mother died of grief, he departed for New York, under impression that he would be enabled to procure excellent occupation. It was one year after the death of My father and mother when he arrived in New York, not having a penny in his pocket, not knowing one person nor having the pleasure of sleeping in a bed for a week, because he had booed h'a way there without money. For years, he had been taught to "seek, and you will find, knock, and the door will open;" he had sought, and knocked, but, receiving no favorable results, he finally concluded to be a tramp, a hobo, one who roams the country, having wanderlust in his soul, his body, his speech, his entire self. The resolution was taken one solitary night of summer, a night when the moon, stars, all the heavenly bodies were kissing the earth with illuminat on, for it was the most beautiful night of the year. So he began to roam, his first tramp departure being to Washington. He visited the art galleries, the museum, the libraries, the parks, all institutions of wisdom, places whereen he hid himself from society in general, studying nature, contemplating insects, birds, creatures of all kinds, animals that lived thousands of years ago. This being so, after he had learned everything he could learn from this great city, Washington, a great historical center of America, he visited other cities. Let us hasten to another part of the story of Titus Coleman. As he passed throughout the country, he carved with his knife on trees, old houses, or wherever he could formulate letters that could be seen by passers-by these words: "The black tramp has passed here; he is a vagabond of the earth, one who has no home, no sweetheart, nothing that he can call good, happiness, for he has nothing that he can call his own—with the exception of wanderlust. In this manner, I, Titus Coleman, have become a hungry philosopher, one who is going about the country in search of wisdom, a hermit upon the desert of solitary meditation." When he had traversed the principal cities of America, when he had learned enough to be called a profound philosopher, a sage of experience, he returned to New York, where, the conditions of poverty had grown worse than he had left it, he found his struggle for an existence tenfold. Without moneyj dressed in rags, and having a melancholy countenance, he knocked at the doors of various citizens for food, asked passers-by for a'ms, each time being refused, whereupon his hunger increased, his soul began to suffer more and more. This caused him to notice the rats, cats and dogs as they darted through the alleys in search of bones, and crumbs. Here saw that he was classed as a rat, a cat or a dog; he had become the lowest of society, yet one of the greatest, for no man, no human being is greater than a good philosopher—Titus Coleman was a good philosopher, because, March 17, 1922, being twenty-seven years of age, quits a young man, he died of starvation rather than to steal, died the death of a hungry philosopher. . * mo , “ ¢ . * wtv~o% Ss) ey i + +s ” < £ 7 te tuerl a ae ete ee an, TR, Th Bae ye Dn tea Bee lee true DURST (——~ Se ee | When thirst comes 2 i! home boron, levels . } ready in the icebox— \ i ry Bottled ee yy i cL f ‘ 4 | Carlet Ger | ay II] Delicious and Refreshing uN St rf | Telephone your grocee . nN | | i for a case ~ ns » i La. ec ae | INA) « A ee | LINN it} IE ISSA Sad Cet Pah IS A a 7] tal mg fe f naar I A eee BY omc) hE a eR CN re NE ae Seo ea SS —* 4 - o ef K THE COCA COLA BOTTLING Co, Phoae M. 7800 J 215-37 South jWoshington St. ‘ a I a rs rs THE KU KLUX ales IN CHURCH.

Ever since Judas sold Jesus: there have been betrayers in the “cloth.” The Ku Kux are making “donations” to the village and smail- town churches, expecting to buy the preachers off from making the at- tacks which they should be making on this potential murder-gang. Just picture the “knights” of tha Ku Kinx Klan, with their heads hid- Gen in pil ow-cases, marching up the aisle of the church while the congre- getion sings: “Onward Christian Sol- diers,” and the Grand Kleagle depo- iting a bag-of money in the hands of the “surprised” pastor. (Let the coni- munity begin to watch these “sur prised” shepherds of their sheep.) ‘This happened in Elizabeth, N.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MILKO PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE SAY BOY, don't you like to play with a fellow who spent his time trying to catch you on the wrong side of the fence in your re actions with the activities of the race and world. What fun to watch him as he knocks and tries to get to get your goat by first one method and then another; and all the time you are wise to his intends. MORALS. It is more beneficial for a Race LEADER TO SPEND HIS TIME WATCH THE RACE THAT IS LINED UP. TO DEFEAT HIS PEOPLE than to watch men of the race who are trying to work with CHRISTIAN THOUGHT and PRAYER for the general good of all humanity the knockers included. THE NEGRO STAR lines up to do Batt e for God and The Race Not by a method of radical boosting but by the calm force of influence exerted by the CHRISTIAN PRESS in a determined stand for Law Observance and Enforcement with malice towards none. THE presentation of anything that portrays the past life of a race even though its defects are vividly displayed does not tend to injure the dignity of a race unless the race has materially failed to correct the defeats or errors. With the marvelous accomplishments of the race within the past fifty years in the general conduct of its church life and work; and along all lines of intellectual and spiritual procedure, Slabtown Convention as a comedy is not detrimental to the dignity of the race; However, if it is detrimental it is as much out of place to give a presentation of the comedy before a highly intelligent Negro audience as it is to give such presentation to a white audience and more it is an insult to the Negro thinker. To often this race draws the color line within itself. What is bad for the white man to know of the past of the race is equally bad for the race itself. THE man who cannot or will not join hands in the elevating of the race by assisting in promoting worty racial enterprises; and those movements which have as their end an increased desire on the part of he race to excel in all departments of art, science, culture and refinement is but an obstacle in the path of the whole race. TALK will not get the things worth while for the race. Gentlemen may talk about what we will do until they turn the elements blue with fiery eloquence, and at the end the race will be standing counted with the two lost groups of the human family. If a third of the bluffs that race leaders have made in their fiery attitude towards the other race had been called; perhaps, long since the Negro race in America would have experienced conditions similar to that which has been experienced by the Jew of Russia; The Armenians of Turkey and other race group that have felt the stern hand of oppression within the last few decades. The one great trouble not standing out is that the race is developing to many fiery leaders forever advising the methods of procedure but never advancing in the lead to try out the methods which they advocate. The Negro race is today advancing in the dawn of an age when constructive thought and the pressure of Christian influence shine forth as the flaming sign of those who are to overcome not by the power of BLUFF and leated speeches, but by the power of passive resistance strengthened by a life filled with the forces of God possessed by the individual members of THE halting attitude of the subcommittee of the Senate towards the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill must not be regarded as unfavorable to the passage of the measure until ample time has been afforded to enable all forces pro and con to ar- s rive fully at a measure which w.l. be sound on the constitution. Better have all technical tes settled by proper legal consideration now than to ORGANIZATION is as essential to the future success and life of the Negro race as is any other factor which the race may possess; yet it must be organization free from petty jealousy on the part of individual's and organization that within itself gives tangble evidences of its ability to control and determine situations without so cutting aid from forces which have thru the ages held that the Negro Race is lacking in the intelligence that can produce master organization. have the measure brought in question after its passage. On the part of the race cam deliberation at this time is all essential with loyal support of those leaders of the race who are struggling in support of the measure. One thing stands out assured to those who read the signs of the time. To save the Government itself from the damning force of radical elements LYNCIIING must cease in America. IF the Republican Party or any other factor stands out against the enactment of measures best fitted to assure the full degree of Americanism to any groups of citizens can be established; It is well for the people belonging to that group to battle against the further success of that party or factor until it has been retired from the seat of government never to return. Yet it is well to establish the case before proceeding to a course of action, and than it it will be well to act by the power of the ballot without months of announcement. Sudden attacks are best fitted sometimes to arouse forces to the demands of the people; but attacks announced before hand never accomplished much. It gives the party attacked a great chance to buy the attacking leaders off and leave the race standing with the empty sack. ALUMINUM DEMONSTRATION ST. PAUL'S A. M. E. CHURCH MONDAY 2:30 p. m.

K. P. TROUBLE. CHICAGO, ILL. June 2.—The Knights of Pythias of Illinois are much disturbed by a turn in their affairs which, it is declared, threatens their legal existence. It appears that the organization, which is one of the leading fraternal bodies in the state, has been operating for a number of years in what amounted to an illegal fashion. Two or three charters have been issued to the same lodge and failure to comply with the law makes it seem that their present name, The Grand Lodge Beneficiary of the K. of P. N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A., has no legal existence. These facts were brought out in the appeal of John R. Auter, former Secretary of the endowment fund for a new trial. Auter was recently convicted of embezzlement after a hasty trial in which the jury was chosen and the trial completed in a few hours. Attorney Wilson, a young colored lawyer making a name for himself by his sterling work here, was then called into the case and from that time the troubles of the Grand Lodge began. The Illinois K. of P's., have been ruled it is said by a "closed group" of which Grand Chancellor, Dr. A. A. Wesley, Major R. R. Jackson, Ed. Green, and Auter were the moving spirits. Loose business methods condoned by those n power enabled Auter, it is charged, to get away with a considerable amount which he lost, it is claimed, on the board of Trade. His former close associates in the lodge failed to support him. With the Grand Lodge session looming up and the suggestion of the presiding judge to the officers that they get a lawyer and straighten out the tangle, which involves 6,000 members, local pythians are aroused. On motion of Atty. Wilson, a new trial was granted to Auter and his bail was reduced from $15,000 to $5,000. He states he will make restitution. Meharry Graduates 123.
