“OPTIMISM” IN
- TEXAS AND THE
LITERARY DIGEST
(For Associated Negro Press)
‘The “D'gest” is one of the most
dengerous enemies of th-e
American Negro and justice. Under
its cloak of presupposed impartia.ity
it can be and often 1s dengerously one-
sided; the Digest {s supposed to quote
both sides-but the Digest is very
cunning—it gives a simple line cf
quotation from some paper that fa-
vors the Dyer B.llfor example, ant
then it quotes whole paragraphs of
riot from idiots who fcvor lynching.
Then the Digest has quoted “both
sides, “don’t you sce? But the
Digest has not folled anybody.
The Digest displays its own real
fentiment and character when ft
quotes tle folowing from a Texas
paper. It is the most savage and de-
generate statement we have ever
read, The Digest calls it an “optim-
istic? southern view of the ten lynch-
ings and burnings which Texas stac-
ed in three weeks:
“Texas his gone amuck, but there
js no cause for alarm, The good old
Lone Star wil home to itself after a
few more burnings at tha etuke, and
the customary qu ctness of midsum-
mer wit return, Just ay this t'me of
year the fires in the city squcres al-
ways burn a hittle brighter in Texas,
and the suburban trees with over-
hanging hmbs always have unp eas-
ant duties to perform. Within the
next month the number of crimes pun-
{shable ty burning tnd hanging will
decrease, and Texas will devote itself
to business as usual. The present ex-
civement is temporary and seasonal.”

| In reply to a letted from James
Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N.
A. A. C, P., ietders in the Senate
have forcibly expressed themselves
as follows:
Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio:
“I am amezed and shocked at the
list of lynchings you have sent me:
It {s unfortunate that In this country
dedictted to iaw and order, there
shouln be eleven lynchings within the
apace of twenty-two days. This
is an average of one every two days
Such a cond tion is most threaten "g
and dangerous and should be en-
demned by alt good citizens.”
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas:
“J faye your letter of June 1, and
thank you for sending me the state-
ment in regard to the iynchings which
occurred during the month of May. I
do hope something can be done to
stop the outrages, I have talked with

“I beg leave to acknow'edge re-

my ettent’on to the reported lynchings
'n the United States durng the

be adopted that will serve to stop

* LITTLE ROCK, ARK. June 23-—In
one of the most bitterly contested
cases that has ever come before the
courts of this state in yeers Jeffesson
Black, presumably white, contended
that his ch ldren were entit'ed to al
the rights and emoluments of the
Const:tution of the United States and,
therefore, should enjoy the privileges
and opportunities guaranteed to
American whites, but the Montgom-
ery county court said “no.” Black
carried the case to the state supreme
vourt which uphes the decision of
the lower court. .
“A person with the slightest trace
of Negro blood is a Negro’ regard-
less of how closely he resembles n
caucasion” so dec ared the courts of
Arkansas. The ebove decision was
handed down by the Arkansas Su-
nreme Court Jast Tuesday in affirming
the decision of the Montgomery coun.
“ireuit court. The lower court had
fssued an order excluding the chil-
dren of Jefferson'Black from attend-
ance tt one of the white schools om
the ground that they were Negroes.
The case came before the trial court
on B ack's petition when the directors
of the school district declared the
children to be Negroes and ordered
them taken to another school.
Evidence vled by the directors was
to the effect that the great-grend-
mother of the children had been a
Negro slave. Back, however, declar-
ed that the children had a faint strain
of Cherokee Indvan blood in thelr
veins, end in his petition stated that
“petit’oner’s children, in appearance,
show no sign of Negro blood, and
fudged from their appearance alone
svou'd pass for persons of pure cau-
casion bood.” In Mr. Black’s tran-
neript of rppcal, filed in the supreme
court, appeared pictures of the chil-
dren,

DEATH RATE
AMONG NEGROES
FALLING.
NEW YORK CITY, June 25,—A re-
markable dechne in the mortality nf
Negroes has taken place in the last
ten ycers, according to the records of
the Metropol:tan Insurance Company:
‘Th's company has more than 1,600,000
policy holders throughout the’ entire
United States, In 1911 the death ra‘y
was 17.5 per 1,000 and In 1921 it de-
creased to 13.2 per 1,000—e drop of
26 per cent. There would have been
7,000 nore death among Negro poli.
cy-holdcrs than actutlly occurred in
1921, if the 1911 death-rate had
preveiied in that year,
According to the Statistical Bullet’n:
“This marked decline, on anclys's
can be traced to improvements in the
death-rates fiom tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, heart discase, Br'wht's dis-
case, malaria, typhoid fever, tnd pe -
lagra.
“The improvement In the mortality
of Negroes is not locaized. So far
as the experience of the Metropol tan
Indicates, it represents a very brord
movement affecting virtualy af
areas. Scarcely a state but shows a
decided decline.
“As late as 1916 there were 66 lo-
cal areas where the Company's coloz-
ed business showed mortality rates
above 17.6 per 1,000, The record for
1921 shows only 15 such localities. 1°
1916 there were 30 centers with rate.
in excess of 19.0 per 1,000, In 1921
no such rate was exper.enced any:
where. It is noteworthy that the pub.
he health movement which has been sc
successful with reference to the white
people {s a so making its impress upo™
the colored. The Negro death-rate
however, is still so high as to show
glaring deficiences in the health pro:
visions for these people, The fact:
for the iast ten years show clearl}
that the death-rates of this race car
readily be Improved. There is all the
more necessity for intensification of
the services specially spphcable to
these peop e, In this connection, much
ja promised by the apparent desire af
the insurance companies administered
by Negroes themselves to lead in the
development of public-health work
and welfsre services among their own
people.”

date cf June 5, dealing with J. L.
Philys lumber dealer and head Re-
publican organization of Georgia; a'-
leging irregularities in executing war
contracts, in which illuminating In-
formation is contalned as to the stand
of the Harding administration in deal-
ing with the coiored voters, in which
the following language was used:
“The charges against Philbps are
worrying President Harding and other
Republicans, who realize that in the
downfa.l of Phillips their hopes of a
“white man's Republican party” in
the South go too. The President and
Will Hayes planned sf widespread
movement in the “black belt” of the
South to capture white men who be-
lieve in a protective tariff.”
“They p anned to clean out the Ne-
gro politioans and put “influent
business men” In their places, Tue
program was launched in Georgia
when Phillips wee named chairman
of the Republican State Committee
and given the right of way at the
White House on Federgi aprpint-
ments. Phillips was a favorite of
President Harding and the late Clar-
ence B. Miller, then Secretary of tha

Atchison Kansas Notes.
(For June 16th)
Mrs. Anna S. Brown, Field Missionary of Western Convention of Baptist Women, also president of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota Women's Convention, was in Atchison, from Wednesday last through Sunday, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Roman.
Mrs. William Smothers(wife of the late Rev. William Smothers, a former pastor of Liberner Baptist Church) entertained Friday, with a twelve o'clock dinner for Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Roman.
Mrs. P. Thomas also entertained with a six o'clock dinner Sunday.
While in the city, Mrs Brown was an inspiration to all who heard her. She talked to the Mission Circles of the city Thursday at 3 p. m., at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Subject: For the evening was "What it takes to constitute a Christian worker or a Missionary;—(1) Wise Heads; (2) Attentive ears; (3) New Hearts; (4) Tongues united; (5) Our eyes opened; (6) Render a decision. Each Topic was discussed very effectually and the attention of the hearers was kept throughout the lecture. Mrs. Brown talked Saturday afternoon at the Mt. Olive to the Children of the city.
Sunday morning she sang and spoke at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Sunday afternoon she lectured at Zion Baptist Church, subject: "Walking with God." This subject was handled as effectually as the Thursday afternoon subject and that is saying much. Mrs. Brown sang for the evening services at Zion Baptist Church.
Rev. Roman, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church har resigned his pastorate to take charge in Eldorado. Rev. Roman came here from Horton, where he had just completed the building of a church. Coming to Atchison, he found a very small membership. This membership has more than doubled under his pastorate and not only the members of his church but of all the churches in the city, regret losing him out of the community. Rev. Roman, during his pastorate, here, also built the present Zion Baptist Church. Rev. Roman worked in co-operation with all churches and pastors while in the city and while we regret his leaving our community very much, we pray the blessings of our Saviour Jesus Christ, be with him in his new field of labor.
Visitors who have worshipped at Ebenezer Baptist Church the last two Sundays are as follows: Mrs. Elsie Miller of Emporia; Mrs. W. H. Hudson of Battle Creek, Mich. Mrs. William Sayers of St. Joseph, Mo.; Miss Clyde Phillips of Effing-
ham; Mr. Shaffer Land of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. George Mason of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Mrs. Frances Jenkins of St. Joseph; Mr. C. II. Bratton of Missouri; Mrs. Lettie Daniels of Chicago, Ill. As usual these visitors expressed themselves as having enjoyed the services with us.
Monday, June 12th, Mrs. David Bradford (also her daughter) Miss Zelma, a teacher in Plat City) and her son Mr. Elsworth entertained with a birthday party at his home 715 X Street, for Mrs. Claiborn, his mother who is Mrs. Bradford's mother; Mrs. Claiborn is 50 years of age and is active and able to perform household duties until July 1920 at that time she fell and fractured one of her lower limbs; since that time she has been confined to an invalids chair. Mrs. Claiborn is a patient sufferer and is gradually failing. She is a lovely Christian character. The party lasted from 8:00 to 10:00.
There were three clubs in Atchison, that federated this year, namely: The Carnation, Eutopia and Sunflower Art Clubs.
Mrs. W. M. Jennings and Mr. G. T. Trigs of Horton, spent Sunday in the city.
Sunday at the C. M. E. Church, Rev. G. R. Tucker preached both morning and evening service.
At 3.00 p. m. Children's Day was observed with a Children's Program.
Sunday at Ebenezer, Pastor, Rev. W. C. Cartwright preached an able sermon at the Morning service. Text: John 17:20—"Neither pray I for these alone but for them as so which shall believe on me through their word." Subject: "Praying for unity of the church." This sermon was very instructive and if followed, will do much good.
The evening sermon was preached by Father Rev. Stewart.
B. Y. P. U., 6:30 p. m., as usual; Bro. John Dysant, President.

Negroes Take Part In Viaduct Celebration.
MEMPHIS, TENN. June 23.—The Negro residents of southside will take part in the celebraton in connection with the viaduct during carnival week. Dr. Duvall, who has charge of the viaduct celebration, declared last Tuesday night that Negroes of the southside are showing as much if not greater interest in the viaduct celebration than any other persons, and this manifested interest has led the committee to provide an additional day of fete on which Negroes will have entire charge of the program. All the entertainments and amusement features operating during the carnival will be retained for the Negroes. Leaders of the race will probably originate some additional features of their own. Dr. Duval said, "It is gratifying to note the civic pride manifested by the colored people of the southside."

SOL BUTLER CONTINUES TO SHINE.
(Preston News Service)
NEW YORK, June 23, Sol Butler who attracted the attention of the world while a student at Dubuque University; has removed to this city from Chicago. Buter continues to attract the attention of athletic experts by his performances and from all indicat ons he will soon be the center of attention in athletic circles.
Buter is after smashing another record in the broad jump and the experts in this part of the country are united in the belief that he can do much better than twenty-three feet and five inches the next time he starts. Sol Butler is regarded as one of the best all-round athlefes of the race and will soon be pitted with that other crack, whom the colored people of America gave to Harvard University —Ned Gourdin. These two boys are shaping up nicely in training and will create some furore at their next appearance, especially if they take the mark at the same time as the white lads would then see in this corb'nation almost no chance for the pale face.

God's portion to himself and death by
eating what was not righteously his.
After, the fall of Adam the plan
of salvation loomed up; and they were
teught that in connection with Divine
Worship, they must offer to God a
portion of their time and substance.
(Continued in next issue.)
Tonor the Lord with thy substance
and with the first fruits of ail thine
increase—Prov. 3:9,
In the study of the Buble, we find
that God has always required a por-
t’on of Man’s income for the support
of His church or those things which
was a shadow of the church,
The church is thet institution which
holds before men, tse plan of redemp-
tion, ’ : tad
It is the onty organizat‘on in the
world, that stands for man's uplift
and eternai welfare; and it is God's
plan, that men should bear the re-
sponsibility of the physical upkeep of
the church,
Ist What God required of the first
Famity, :
We note, that God made the world
and its contents for man; for He gave
man charge over gl, Gen. +1:28-30,
Next, we find God planting a gar-
den tn Eden, placed the man {n it; to
dress it and ty keep it. He gaye man
all in the garden but one tree. (This
grrden fs a symbol of the Church.)
Gen. 2:15-17,
Here we note that this command
was not given until min was placed
into the garden (church) and now, he
is charged to reserve a part of the
fruit of the garden; end is told that if
he appropriates that portion to him-
self, he would certainly die.
| What Is it then that God has resery-
ed for Himself? Read Gen. 2.8,9,
| We find that al in the garden is
‘pleasant to the eye and is good for
}food; thus: we Iparn, that which
is pleasant to the eye, and good for
food, among us, is the very thing thet
God asks of men today,
In our times, the things that we
want and think we need most, are tha
very things that God demands of us
to reserve for Him. Not that God
needs it, not that God is Hungry, but
that ‘Il’ may not forget. After ell, it
is God Who keepeth me; and not what
T posser— for the things that I poa-
sess and the things that I eat are the
things that kill me.
Thus in Adams’ case, Ifo Lrozgl.t

Quite a few of the people from here are attending the State Work at Topeka, this week.
St. Paul Notes.
The morning and evening services at St. Paul's were well attended despite the fact that the pastor, Rev. Ransom is in the Enst for a couple of weeks.
Rev. S. S. Washington spoke at the morning service and dwelt largely upon the necessity of true Christian living as the greatest factor of the church against sin and unrighteousness.
In the evening Rev. J. H. Redic delivered a very able discourse on the power of Christ's Word. This being his first sermon as a local minister here, his subject was well handled and heartily received.
Many out of town visitors were present at both services and were welcomed in the name of the church. An interesting feature of the Sunday School and Allen Christian Endeavor was the reports of the young

GREAT INSPIRATION MEETING.
The Boys gave very thorough Reports of Camp Wood Trip.
the year was held at the Cavary Baptist Church on last Sunday. The boys who went to Camp Wood, the State Y. M. C. A. Boys' Camp, gave a very thorough report of their experiences there. After the boys finished their reports, Prof. West, Miss Rowles and Dr. Brown, who visited the boys while at Camp Wood gave high esteem in which our Secretary was held by the leaders. They spoke of what a wonderfu. Impression he made upon them, when they arrived and saw him Marshall of the Day, in complete charge of the Camp for the day.
The Closing talk was made by Secretary Hutcherson, as he spoke on "The Challenge of The Hour." He impressed us with our own responsibility to the present generation of Boys. He said unless we can produce a leadership for the "New Day" the dawn of which is in sight, we cannot hope to come into our own as a Race.
