Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Judiciary Sub-Committee Assumes Duties of United States Supreme Court. Every Negro Should Write His Senator. Editor Moore Flays Sub-Committee. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill may be referred back to sub-committee four redraft and may eventually be reported to the Senate and placed on the calendar, according to word from the capitol. It is caimed that review of the legislative jam in the Senate, however, there seems little prospect of the bill being enacted into law at the present session. A sub-committee, of the Judiciary Committee, headed by Senator Borah contends that the bill is unconstitutional in its present form. Borah has been joined by Senators Overman a democrat of North Carolina and Shields a democrat of Tennessee. The other members, Senators Sterling, a republican of South Dakota, Dillingham, a republican of Vermont, are said not to be in complete disagreement, but believe the bill might well be passed and be submitted to a test before the Supreme Court of the United States. Borah and his associates contend that it would be useless and a waste of time as a case from Alabama has already been decided by that tribunal. Alexander P. Moore, editor of of the Pittsburgh, (Pa.) Leader, flays the sub-committee for its "failure and neglect." Every Negro in the United States should send copy of Editor Moore's editoria to his Senator. The editorial follows: "FAILURE AND NEGLECT" FAILURE AND NEGLECT "A study of the word 'Failure' ought to be interesting to garden variety citizens while grave and learned senators are anticipating the judgment of the supreme court of the United States on the validity of the Dyer Bill to penaize lynching. "Eyen the schoolboy thinks he knoms what failure means. He has had some experiences with failures or chances to observe. Men in business have some conception of what failure means. In fact, everybody knows what is meant when the word is used." "When we get into the field of national legislation and the territory occupied by the constitution of the United States, we begin to get some decately shaded definitions of failure. When we discuss the enforcement of the Constitution we find a wide gap separating failure and stubborn neglect. To the garden variety man they have identical effects, whether there is a synonymity or not in the value of the words." "If a state should fail to preserve the Constitution and the laws based upon conditions, the federal government would claim the right to enter such state and assume control and direction. The United States government, in fact, has done that very thing. The legal defense for the action is that when an individual state's resources are insufficient to keep the constitution operating the federal government is bound by its obligations to assume the duty and supply the necessary force. "If the United States' government, found that the maid's cannot pass through any state because the state's power is unequal to the job of protecting the mails, the federal government would send a force of the army into that state. The same course might be followed if the states made no attempt to keep the way open for the transportation of mail. That the movement of the mails is a government function is a more legal quibble. The real issue is between the failure of a state to co-operate with the federal government in enforcing the privilege of all. NEGRO RACE RADICAL. (For The Associated Press) By Bishop Robt. E. Jones "The Negro Race is shot through with radicalism," and is being spurred into action; and it is losing faith in Christianity, and losing faith in politics. The soldarity of the races is being ralked, but that will not answer. Twelve million rats so difled would be dangerous to any country, to say nothing of 12 000,000 human beings men and famen, filled with hatred. I teach my people to hate nobody. "The Negro wants recognition of h's place in the brotherlod of man which a his divine right. He wants one standard of Amer.can citizenship applied alike to all. The Negro approves heartily of the movement for inter-racial co-operation because it recognizes first of all the right of the Negro to stare h's own case, and a case he has. No programs, however benevolent, for the so uction of racial difficulties, will stay put unless the Negro has a hand in the making of it. And no Negro can heed our group unless he is chosen by our group. He must have confidence. He must hold his place of leadership by our suffrage." 5 * B. H. NEELY, Circulating and Advertising Manager of this paper. This young man has everything with him to make good. He sees no failures and he has no time to pet failures. He has nerve enough to tell every man what he ought to do and then makes it possible to do it. He, at no time waits for business to come, but he goes and brings it in. He does not wait for a chance, he only knows its time and he takes it. He is the man that is putting The Negro Star in the homes, and the ads in The Star; that every one might enjoy the profits from the best thoughts and bargains. If he has not called on you, he will, because no one escapes his all-seeing eye. He is now working up a complete censor of the Negroes of Wichita, which will be one of the most complete records of our people, on the market. It will give first-hand information about the race. left without protection within state borders we are told the federal government has neither legal nor moral right to interfere. It is a right to protect the mails, but protecting the lives of citizens must not be thought of. It is against the expressed provisions of the United States constitution for the United States to make life safe for is citizens. "Why, in that e'der day it were greater to have been a Roman citizen than to have been king." We are told thirt if a state refuses to honor the privileges guaranteed to citizens by the constitution, the United States cannot interfere. That is judgment of seators learned in constitutional law. Puut in another way, the everyday style, the concrete effect of this judgment is that the United States constitution is good only to those who voluntarily respect it. The United States cannot compel respect. "Set out in the simplest terms, this judgment means that the United States Constitution has no meaning. The constitutional lawyers may find d stinct ones without difficulty. The common man looks only at the effect WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 9, 1922.

(By The Associated Negro Press) OMAHA, NEBRASKA, June 9 The Klux has begun a tirade against Negro newspapers. A recent letter to the Omaha Monitor, an Associated Negra Press membership newspaper's indicative of the new venture. The letter was sent because of an outstanding editorial expression and follows: Your ideas are all wrong here. What you advocate here must not and shall not be, as long as there are any white men in this Country. White Supremacy is our slogan and we are going to rue this country without the aid or consent of any Nigra or bunch of Nigras, no matter how smart they may be. You may as well put away the fool notions expressed in th's yawp. This is a white man's country, and we are checking up on you while you are dreaming and having a good time. You've lost out political y and you can't recover. We've put the thin edge of the wedge under Oregon and Omaha comes next. New York will follow, for we whte are detemmined to eliminate the Nigrs from State and National politics. Yours Dyers et al are just strung you Ngras for your votes. There is no way to, enforce that bill. The white man couldn't live who attempted it. We are ono famiy, North and South and. Like you Ngras, we sympathize with each other our lives and liberties are menaged by an alien race. Your ta'l talk will not get the Ngra any further than he hrs gotten. There can be no Imperio in Imperium here. We haven't the space. And he wonders why there is no law that can be forced to operate to protect the lives of citizens in the United States. The Dyer Bill is pronounced unconstitutional, because it proposes to save Negro citizens from mob murder". . New Hope Baptist. As the first Sunday of the month of rores was ushered in, groups of happy children and their in structors gathered in our Sunday School to study the "Book." What a privilege to help train and instruct them. Our minister gave to his auditors a praiseworthy Gospel Sermon Sunday morning. The B. Y. P. U. is on the upward and forward march. Old and young enter heartily into both hours—social and study. Sunday evening Dr. E. T. Fishback, our minister, read a Scripture lesson from Isaiah 42:1-4. Using for a tex 2nd Cor. 6:11-13, subject: "The En- largement of Our Affections," he preached a wonderfully impressive, spiritual sermon. Mrs. Ruby Tines is slowly improving. Her cheerful disposition makes her a patient sufferer. Cur Vacation Church School opened June fifth, with an enrollment of sixty one.

Cenphas Cash the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Romey Cash, has returned to Wichita, from Langston, Okla., where he has been attending school. Monday evening, June fifth. Miss Beatrice Williams, (neice of Mr. and Mrs. M. Mavo) was united in Holy Wedlock to Mr. James Gurden of Toonka, Dr. E. T. Fishbreek, officiating. Many guests assembled at the beautiful suburban Mavo residence which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The bride came who broached natin. Her wreath was composed of lifes of the valley. The veil was artistically loomed. The groom were the conventions' black. Mrs. Eva Lee Carter, the bride's sister, made an ideal bride's maid. Mr. Bert Curden, brother of the groom, was the "belt man." The ceremony was performed beneath a huge marriage bell. The contracting parties are worthy young people. Ms. Williams was reared in Wichita. Mrv they have much sunshine and little rain on their happy voyage of married life.

(By The Associated Negro Press) CAMBRIDGE, MASS., June 9.—Is Harvard to recognize race, proscription? What is interpreted as an announcement involving discrimination against the Jews has just been issued by the Harvard University author. It is announced that, because of limited accommodations, it will be necessary to limit the number of students applying for admission every fall from now on. This, of course, is not unique to Harvard. The statement follows: "The great increase which has recently taken pace in the number of students at Harvard College, as at the other colleges, Lrs brought up foroby the problem of the limitation of enrollment. "We have not at present sufficient cass-rooms or dormitories—especially freshman dormitories—to take care of any further large increase. "It is natural that with a widespread discussion of this sort going on there should be taik about the proposition of Jews at the college." Jewish students have been growing in numbers at most northern colleges. They frequently make themselves feel t and often show unusual scholarship. The proportion who enter college is compared with their population is quite large. No reference has been made to colored students. M.

(Uy The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL., June9,—"Are the Colored people of America in earnest about the passing of anti-lynching legis at on." This question was asked Oscar DePriest by the Associated Negro Press. Mr. DePriest, who is known everywhere to be as blunt as he is frank, as fair as he is just, and as earnest as he is sincere, did not mince his words in answer. As the titular head of the most effective and outstanding political organization in the United States, among Colored Americans; an organization counting its folowers by thousands, and conducting its set vites in one of the most 'enlaborate club buildings' in the city, Mr. DePriest may be regarded as speaking with authority. Yet there is a more extensive setting around which to throw the calcium fight from which the opinions of this big western leader may be displayed, that "he who runs may read." Honored politically as a former commissioner of Cook County, in which Chicago is located; ected as the first alderman of the group from the second Ward where the Colored voting population is almost four to one, and in the Congressional District of which Congressman Madden is the representative, Mr. DePriest is first of all a fine example of the successful business man. As a real estate broker, his achievements are outstanding among the successful men in that field; and a director of the Bings Stu Bank, to say nothing of numerous other civic and commercial connec PRICE, FIVE CENTS RUSSIAN PEOPLE RUSSIAN CHURCHES RUSSIAN PEOPLE RUSSIAN CHURCHES BY WM. PICKENS. (For Associated Negro Press) In the desperate effort to make us fear the Russian democracy they are teeling us and retelling us about the Russian government compelling the churches to give up their gold and silver and jewels and other hoarded wealth to buy goods for the starring and dying people. Our reply is, that any "church" that has to be compelled to do that, ought to be torn down and its priests put into a mad-house. Why should a church have, great wealth hoarder on the inside of it, while people die on its steps from hunger and nakedness? In the name of all the gods that ever were, why is a church? Is it not for the good of humanity? Any church that would not meet a golden image to feed a starving child, has no relation whatever to the Man of Nazareth. The churches profess to be serving humanity and obeying God, and in the present plight of Russia, we would have much more regard for a coil, calculating business concern that had to be compelled to give, than any church that had to be forced to give up golden wine-cups to save the lives and the souls of men. No material thing that any church can possess can be more sacred or half as sacred as the life of man. And, yet, there are churches and "pastors" who think so. What a mockery they make of their pretensions. Does God think more of an image of the Virgin Mary (which, by the way, does not in the least resemble the humble and hardy mother of Jesus) than He thinks of a Russian baby. Such a God is a Mo'och. Those who let the people starve while they buy incense to burn, are olaim idiots or hypocrits. And when the enamies of the Russian government tell us that it is compelling such impostors to "shell out," they make us respect the Russian government. tions, Oscar DePriest may well be ceased as a spokesman, whose word counts every inch. Mr. DePriest was a delegate to the last Republican National Convention and was one of the men who voted for the nomination of President Harding, being the only Colored delegate from out of the North. "There is absolutely no political job that I would want to take. I am thankful that I am in a position to speak independently and unsophily. I love my people, and their interests come first, a l the time," said Mr. DePriest. "You ask if the Colored people of America are in earnest about anti-lynching legislation? They never were more earnest about anything in life. There has never been a measure before the people in which the rank and file are so deeply interested as they are in anti-lynching legislation," said the big Chicago leader. Continuing he said: "The Republican party desires to remain in power but I want to say that there is no power on earth that will induce thinking Colored people to send back to the Senate men who labor zealousy to prove the Dyer Bill-unconstitutional rather than labor to pass the bill, and permit the courts to decide thou legality. "We may as well fare the issue, and face it clean cut; alibis, excuses and 'passing the buck' will get nowhere this time. The situation is beyond the control of those who have any influence with voters, and I certainly would not ask any of my friend is to support those who prove false to their trust. "The United States Senate can pray this bill. It must do so if it cares for Colored support. Democratic threats and feelings must avail nothing. With the orgles of lynching in Texas and Georgia, our 15,000,000 people cry out for action and justice. We are united everywhere on ways has in a crisis, may rise to the this and lynching issue, as it alopecion." ft mea ss bs * © a: le weatat x NS ce g* x o i hy ¥ oe . 4, ee oh es wh pees Be SE Ee a ae m3 ek bee gt whe, 2* Mat, Wo sateen RS o<bebg Zs ~ alee ; cipe:. tinea ie aii ed 2 iad, NIT oi Nt lta Nanas atic Set a ONL Bt ee Rac, ? 5 OE al apie Sask’ £2 aS Ss CITY CHURCHES’ NOTES & Sve a: St Paul Notes, [Gods ir*not you should be ashame The Third Quarterly Meeting en- Communion Service was held Sunday and closed with a splendid financia report of all departments of th: Church on Monday night at. the quar: terly Conference.

The shadows of the law pointed te the Christian era, The grect proph- ecles of former ages which foretod the cbming of the Messiah, and His kingdom of righteousness, and salva- tion, all pointed to the current age, in which we live: | ‘We are now living in the last days; (p’ecee read Ist John 2.18; Heb. 1:1, ‘1; Ist Cor. 10:11.) Here we find that one long age has fo.lowed another, until we have reached the fulness of time, or rather; that dispefsat‘on when time is fuli, or shall end. Peter says, The end of all things is at hend. That is: The end of all things is next to take place. Thig means the end of probation, sa.vation, offers, time, and the world, These will take place in this day, Nothing but the coming of Christ, the, resurrection, the general judge- ment, and eternity for the righteous and the licked is yet future. We are not only living in the ‘ast thmes, but the best dispensation this world Will ever see; a dispensation of grace and salvation to a iost world; the day in which the wall of part:t on is torn dowa and all men are put on a common levei before God. What- ever Jews, and Gentiles will be saved; will be saved before Christ’s coming, and not after, as some are teaching. If Jews are saved, they must come in at the same door that the Gentiles do.

Prentiss Institute Ends Fifteen Years' Service. (Preston News Service) PRENTISS, MISS. June 9.—The Prentiss Normal and Industrial Instute closed its fifteenth session last week, the exercises being titerally patronized by both colored and white people. Thursday was Commencement Day when the graduation of a class of five from the Normal Course took place. There were 26 to complete the Grammar School Course. The address was ably delivered by Dr. W. F. Yarborough, pastor First Baptist Church, (white) Hatt'esburg, who spoke on the subject, "Education in the making of a Life." Aside from the splendid literary exercises, the school had assembled a good exhibit of work done in the domestic science department, shops, etc. Friends were shown over the school truck farm and the entire plant. The regular farm and shop work were going on throughout the morning; vegetables being crated and hauled to market, four plows running. The industrial exhibits dspayed, giving friends' of the school an opportunity to see the plant in operation. The Trustees held their annual meeting, Thursday morning, the following present:—Ex-Governor Longino, Leon Tyrone, Rev. James M. Lewis, W. H. Livingston, W. H. Lanier, and R. S. Grossely, Principal J. E. Johnson and the Treasurer, Mr. H. C. Williams, made their annual reports which were adopted by the Board. It was shown that the enrollment reached 864 the past season, coming from 13 counties in the South Mississippi and parts of Louisiana. It required a little over $14,000 to run the school. Twelve Hundred Dollars of this amount came from public funds, $8500 contributed by student labor, and the remainder represents donations by friends in cash and material. The trustees authorized the erection of two buildings during vacation; one for religious purposes and the other a Rosenwad School. Julius Rosenwald making a liberal donation toward the latter. The carpenters have already begun work and it is hoped to have the buildings ready by the opening of the fall term. The trustees also accepted the offer by the State Department of Education to make the institution a County Teachers' Training School which gives assistance in paying teachers to do Home Economics and Vocational Agricultural Work. The influence of this school, is not confined to Prentice's community but is felt throughout the southern part of the state. Its students and graduates are found as teachers in many of the public school's. It has endorsement of the people who know of its merit and is largely supported by the friends of both races in this section. Fifty-Ninth Commencement at Wilberforce Univ.

Phone M. 7600 215-17 South iWashington St. To the President, Co-Workers and Friends of the 3rd Quarterly Board of the Sunday School: For a few short minutes, let your imagination lead you with me into a wonderful garden, there to make a bed and plant our seed. In the time of Christ, he likened the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed. Today, I am likening the church to the garden and the Sunday School to the bed. Where to make our bed should receive our most earnest thought because, we know the condition of sun and shade favorable for successful growth. Therefore our bed should be the pleasantest spot to be found in the garden, as in it, are to be panted our choicest need. Since the Sunday School is the most important auxiliary of our church, it should receive our closest attention and care. Our classrooms, which every modern School should have, should be bright, pleasant and attractive. How much more anxious are our pupils to meet with us where our surroundings are cheerful and the interest high. So will we have healthier plants where the ground is rich, the sunlight and shade, tempered. Our seed should be thoroughly sorted and tested before we sow them into the earth, for this we know so we l that seed, with the aid of sun and rain, will surely grow. Before planting the seed into the heart-ground of our pupils, they should be sorted and tested by preparedness. In this present day and time it is the duty of the Sunday Schoo. leaders, as gardeners, and the privilege of the scho'ars, that we be thoroughly trained for our wonderful service of sowing. The seed we plant today will surely be the harvest we shall reap tomorrow. Therefore, let us be careful that we sow only good seed and not the briars and weeds. Let our seed be those that bring forth good fruit, new life service and love. By sowing the seed of Christ's death, suffering and resurrection, we can hope to reap new life. The seed of service will be Christ-like, because it will mean "Others." The seed of love, God-like because God is love. Be it then our aim and work to till the ground, care and protect our seed by giving them every nourishment and fertilizer necessary for their growth toward perfection and bs these means we can bring our Sunday Schoo s to perfection with a bountiful harvest of wheat for Christ's Kingdom.

AREAL FRIEND TO THE RACE. HH. E. Marshall, Reporte: COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 9,—Very often Negroes are incined to think that the race really has no true friends among the white men. Some- times there cre white men who are in sympathy with the struggies and hardships of the American Negro, but lack the moral courage to stand flat-footed and éppress their convic- tions. This sterling quality of true Amer- ican manhood is to be found in Judge Edgar B, Kindecd, a member of the Common Pleas bench in Frankiin ‘County, Ohio, He has held this of- fice for the past twelve years and on ‘numerouus occasions has clearly shown that he is fair minded and stands four squere jon the Negro quest’on, He js the author of many law books, and for twenty years, was associate professor of law at Oh’o State University. From 1897 to 1899 he was special cusistant to the At- torney Generai of State and had charge of considerable anti-trust } t- igation. He Is the father-in-law of Dr, W. W, Alexander, director of the Inter-racict Commission at At'ants, Ga. Judge Kinkhead is Interested Sn inter-raciel relations and has de iver- ed many addresses to wiite audiences on the subject throughout the state. He has been unanimously endorsed by both rerubl.ccns and democrats of this ‘county for » place on state’s supreme jsourt bench, The sterling cuahties of the man makes him stand out as a figure which wins the respect and *commendat'on of all with whom he , comes in contcct. --MT.
