Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE POLITICAL UNREST OF THE NEGRO CAUSED BY TREATMENT OF BOTH PARTIES. Vol.14, No.14, (Staff Correspondence) For The Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 28—There is a political unrest in this state which presages no good for the Republican Party. This is true among all classes of voters; but the outstanding phase of the whole thing is the attitude of the Negro voter, who has been as immovable as Gibra'ster, itself, when the question of resenting Republican shortcomings have formerly been broached. This year this are decidedly different. The whole thing has been given impetus by the President's Birmingham speech, failure of the party nationally in the large appointments, catering to the "Lilly Whites" in the south, the hesitancy of the United States Senate in the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and the desire to tinker with that instrument, and countless failures locally, both in the state and city. These things have not only affected co orced Republicans, but Negro Democrats are none too well pleased with some of their representatives. All colored people recent deeply all attempts of party leaders to evade platform preachments and evidences of appreciation of their vote. Your correspondent told in a previous letter of how Democratic sentiment was in that party. In the Reputation ranks sentiment cannot be tested through interviews with appointees of the City Hall machine of the state administration. The silent voter—the one, who makes decisions, though, will very readily let you know where he stands, uninfluenced or possible of being led by any set of ward hee'ers. He is sick and tired of being knocked about. He is weary of broken promises and the unwillingness of politics to raise above human prejudices enough to give him what is his just/due—a share of the spoils of office. LOOKING FOR MEN The colored voter of intelligence, at present, is casting about looking for men upon whom he can count and in whom there is more than the average fairness. He is seeking that class of man who are too broad and above prejudice to the extent they will court criticism of the more ignorant of their own race and give the Negro a man's chance Men of the stripe who will shun a stand on such measures as the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill for fear of alienating a certain white voting element, whether they be of the Republican or Democratic Party are going to find it extremely hard to convince colored voters they are the kind who can be trusted. Voters in this state have a number of things in their minds. In Kansas City recently the bosses found the colored people were no longer being led about by the nose. In this city they are becoming more restless since they have not secured at the hands of the city what they were promised previous to the last Mayorality election; then they were given the CRUEL promise they would be given a certain percent of all jobs—a promise which it was never the intention to make good. New the Mayor is backing Senator Proctor of Kansas City for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate. It is highly probable if Proctor secures the bulk of the colored Republican vote in this city, it will have to be in spite of the Mayor, unless the latter ingratiates himself in the good graces of the people by redeeming some of those campaign pledges. The St. Louis Argus on'ny last week asked the Mayor to appoint a Negro to the Board of Education to fill one of the places which would soon be made vacant by resignation; it has been hammering on hime to redeem himself ever since his election—to no purpose. Of course, the Faithful who have feasted at the through all these years are satisfied. In recent years, too, the machine has chosen to run over colored aspirants, but chose to support Prof. B. F. Bowles recently and he was elected to the Constitutional convention; however, the increased number of colored aspirants for office in this city is not occasioned entirely by the ambition of colored men to be in office, but a contributing cause is the fact they are learning they must try to win through voting strength some of the things they have been content in the past to ask as a reward for services rendered. STATE CONDITIONS In the state disappointment has not been so pronounced, through there is considerable failure of the last legislature to make good in giving Lincoln Institute a $500,000 appropriation after shaving it down from $1000,000 has left a very unpleasant taste. Promises of the next legislature to make good does not carry much force because Missouri is normally Democratic, and there is every indication the Democrats have more than an even chance to win this, thus taking from any hopes thus held out, any guarantee, any bill making an appropriation could count of a partisan majorly from any party. At the same time, the Democrats promised last campaign to do what the Republicans failed to do, and this fast will not help the Republican failure any. It is also noted the last legislature contented itself to voting $10,000 to the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission, while under the former Democratic Administration this same Commission had $10,000 for one year's work. They wanted a Farry Experiment Station, an improved condition for the heirs sent to the Boonville Reformatory and a number of other things, among which was a Negro Inspector for our rural schools which was seized. Thinking of these things and the bright spot among recent happenings, the Dyer Bill, no colored voters are trying to pick friends. who are friends when voters are count- Among the Democrats there is much the same trouble only the Democrats have not had the same chance. Place where they could strengthen themselves with the colored vote, they have allowed to slip beyond their grasp, or else they have done some foolish things—not at all times wisely, but because they did not understand the Negro heart beat. In the meeting with colored men at the Jefferson Hotel, Senator Reed was as courteous as could be, but he permitted his callers to go away without believing he would use His great talent to whip a Republican Senate as mercilessly for avoiding the Dyer Bill as he did his colleague Spencer for championing Newberry. Congressman Hawes, just as foolishly—so as a colored man can see—took a stand squarely against this bill. In both instances poor politics were played, when most people know that with good politicians, as in most instances both these men are, as between logical action or otherwise, good politics are given preference. There was so many matters involved in this year's campaign in this state requiring careful consideration, that wise leadership is required and the people want, some one to show them something. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, July 28, 1922. ILLINOIS AND CHI CAGO GET FIRST NEGRO GENERAL r (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL., July 28. "General Franklin A. Demson," Illinois and chicago come forward in their usua. record making and record breaking manner in having the first Colored American with the military rank of General. Military politics and American prejudice kept the late Colonel Charles Young from being advanced to the rank of Brg. General, and was instrumental in sending him to an untime y death. The great state of Illinois, the home of Abraham Lincoln, sets the pace for typical American justice in military, political, economic and social justice. General Denison, a native of Texas, an honored and heroic Colonel of the famous Eighth Illinois regiment during the World War, in private life a member of the Illinois bar, affords an object lesson in success for all young people. General Denison, one of the three first members of the Negro race ever to command a regiment of soldiers in the United States army, has been retired from the Illinois National Guard, at his own request, with the rank of brigadier-general. He was retired by an order signed by Adj. Gen. C. E. Black. Maj. Gen. George Bell, Jr., commander of the Sixth Corps. Area, commended Gen. Denison for his work with the National Guard Colored troops. Gen. Denison is now practicing law and is an Assistant on the staff of Attorney General Brundage. GENERAL DENISON'S CARREER The record of Gen. Denison's military act vities follows: First appointed major, 8th Illinois Infantry, June 28, 1898. Served with the regiment in Cuba, at San Luis, near Santiago, acting as a high official at time in the judge advocate's department. Mustered out April 3, 1899. Appointed major, chief quartermaster's department, fourth burgade, I. N. G.. Ju'y 23, 1903 to June 17, 1907. Eerved as major until pointed colonel on January 12, 1914, upon the resignation of Col. John Marshall. Mustered into the federal service on June 27, 1916, at Springfield, I.K. Commended the regiment on the Mexican border at Fort San Antonio, Tevas, from July 7 to October 27, 1916. Mustered out of the federal service October 27, 1916, and re-entered the Ill nois National Guard with his regiment on the same date. Answered the call of the President of the United States and reported at the armory on what is now Giles Avenue and 35th Streets on July, 1917. Mustered in the federal service August 3, 1917. Automatically drafted into the service of the United States on August 5, 1917. Discharged from the service of the United States on March 12, 1919. His service in France includes his command of his regiment from April 23, 1917, to July 12, 1917, at which time he and his men were under fire at Grandvillars, near the Swiss border, where he was commended by Gen. L. Leboucq of the 73d French division, to which the old 8th was attached, for successfully warding off attacks by hostile aviators who visited the town daily. From Grandvillars, Denison carried his men, mingled with the 325th French Infancy, into the first line trenches at St. Mihiel. It was due to Dennison's disposition of his troops that he was able to stay there from June 23 to July 3 without losing a man, either killed, captured, sounded or gassed, notwithstanding the fact that the regiment was under heavy fire of machine and rifle guns as well as shell fire some days all day long without a lit up. The French officers were so well pleased with the work of Dennison that they changed the name of one of the sectors to Dennison court in honor of the colonel of the old 8th. From St. M.hiel he carried the regiment to the Argonne Forests, where he was relieved of command following a severe ill ness contracted at St M.hiel and was ordered to Charmount for rest and was later invalided home. BETTER COLORED TENNESSEE'S SUC SCHOOLS IN SOUTH CESSFUL INTER CAROLINA. RACIAL PROGRAM. BEST ELEMENTS OF BOTH RACES COOPERATING TO THAT END. (By The Associated Negro Press) COLUMBIA, S. C., July 28—(Special) The white people of many South Carolina communities are cooperating heartily with the colored people in the effort to secure better educational facilities for the children of the latter. At Johnson, S. C., a movement is now on foot to provide a $6,000 six-room Rosenwald School. The Negroes have been raising funds for the purchase of a four-acre site, the Rosenwald Fund will supply $1600 toward the building, and the balance will be provided from State and county funds and by private subscription. A similar enterprise has just been completed at Batesburg, where a $4500 school was erected by these cooperating agencies, and the contract has been at for a $6000 school at Leesville, for which provision has been made in the same way. These are among the most recent illustrations of the friendly and helpful relations for which the best people of both races are striving and which inter-racial committees are doing much to foster throughout the South. To this end a strong state committee has been set up in each Southern State and local committees have been organized in 800 counties. .. ROSS J. McCLURE, .. For Sheriff By Ernest F. Jones LEAVENWORTH, KANS. July 28 —As August, the First, is the Primer election approaches there is one question paramount in the minds of the voters of Leavenworth, and that is who will be the next sheriff of the county? With fourteen or fifteen candidates both Republican and Democrats working for nomination Tuesday, there is one Republican, who stands in the foreground as the Coored voters choice, and that is Ross J. McClure. Mr. McChure, that former, Police Captain, Patrolman on the force, and Merchant Police, is a man of principle, a man stands for a square deel to all regardless of race, color or creed. He is a man that will do all the good he can for any man, and will do no harm to any man. Mr. McClure or Ross as he is better known, was for a year a policeman on the force, for two and a half years Captain of the police, and for nine and a half years he was merchant police, which position he was holding, when three years ago, he resigned to go in business for himself. With these fourteen years of previous experience as a police officer; Mr. McCure without a doubt, knows the game as an exponent of the law from A to Z. During all these years of duty Ross never worked any hardship on any one, and was respected and well liked by both the criminal act and law-binding citizens. While, he went thru the city to and fro enforcing the law he was al ways willing to kind a helping hand to anyone needing help and never arrested anyone just for the fun of it; but only when forced to do so. He never drew a color line, but tried to pay fair with both races. As Sheriff it will be safe to say that he will be an exception as head of the county, and is the man that the Colored citizens are looking for. In other words the right man for the right place The Colored voters are justice, and the county as well, by going to the polls Tuesday, August, the first, and merging the ballot for Ross J. McClure, Republican candidate for sheriff, the man who promises nothing except enforcing the law to the best. Denison's retirement comes upon his own request. Many friends regret his leaving the service of the state in this particular branch, but he has given his best and we will say, "Well done." SCHOOLS BUILT, HEALTH CONDITIONS IMPROVED, MOB PREVENTION, BETTER RELATIONS GENERALLY. (By The Associated Negro Press.) NASHVILLE, TENN., July 28 (Special): The annual meeting of the Inter-Racial League, a section of the Tennessee Committee on Inter-Racial Cooperation, which was held that most encouraging progress in race relations has been made in this State during the past year. The efforts of the Committee have been directed along many lines, chief of which has been that of securing better educational facilities for Negroes. The results reported include $35,000 high schools at Dyersburg and South Pittsburg, $25,000 schools at Brownsville and McMinnville, a $9,000 school at Dickerson and a number of smaller schools. A fine library was secured for Howard High School, Chattanooga, and an $85,000 recreation park for the colored people of Memphis. The State Board of Health cooperated heartily in the Health Week program. In Hamilton county every school house was visited in this campaign, 85 addresses were made and over 15,000 people were reached. At Murfreesboro the Circuit Judge has asked the local Inter-Racial Committee to cooperate with his court in dealing with with delinquent colored youth. Local committees are working with country agricultural and home demonstration agents to promote better farming, marketing and home conditions. Last, but by no means of least importance, a mob was foiled and a lynching prevented in a Tennessee town last year by the prompt action of the local committee. The annual meeting was held at the Tennessee Negro Normal during the Summer session and was attended by hundreds of teachers from all parts of the State. It was addressed by a number of leading educators of both races, including Hon. P. P. Claxton, former U. S. Commissioner of Education, the State Superintendent, and the President of the State Board of Education. Prof. W. J. Hale, President of the Normal, was re-elected chairman of the League and Robert E. Clay, of Bristal, was re-elected secretary. Plans To Have Race Represented by Member of the Race. (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, July 28—Will New York or Chicago be the first northern center to return a Colored American to Congress? Chicago will not this year. The nomination have been made, and in the First District, where the votes are almost four to one Colored, Martin B. Madden, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, has been retrained. In New York the situation is different. The nominations are yet to be made, and strong efforts art being made to induce James Weldon Johnson to oppose Congressman Ansorge, who come from practically a Colored district. "The Philadelphia Public, Ledger says: "The Negro vote in the greater city is about 50,000 among 1,250,000 first Congressional district where the blacks are q'amoring for a candidate of their very own, a favorite being James Weldon Johnson, a conspicuously abe Negro. The incumbent, Martin C. Ansonge, a white man who aspires to be returned to the House this autumn, is finding the colored portion of his district in open revolt against the Republican Party. The total vote of the Congressional district is 80,000. The highlands of Upper Manhattan are occupied by the whites, but the valleys to the eastward hold a black city $150,000; colored people living in fine apartments with steam heat and baths. There was a time when PRICE, FIVE CENTS BLACK MEN'S WORDS (By Charles Cain-for the Associated Negro Press) Colored editors' Colored preachers' Colored teachers' lawyers' business politicians all are shouting about the interests of their race. A great choir in volume, but is it great in effect? "Yes," indignant Colored men will say, and they will point to their schools and churches and tell me how many banks they have founded since the Civil War, and how much money Colored people have, and how many newspapers. Their words are true, and show progress—from the old slavery. But they are slave words, words learned from the lips of a master, white man's words. For they reveal only two thoughts in the Black Man's mind a desire to get as far as possible from the old slave days, and a desire to become, as nearly as possible, imitations of the white man. Aga'n comes the indignant chorus: "We do NOT want to be imitations of the white man. We want to remain black, and show the white that we are as good as he. True; but how? By doing as he does; by judging your people by white standards white notions of sin and righteousness, duty and progress and civilization. That is the way Black men, with hardly an exception, have chosen. And I think it is a way that will never lead the race from subjection and injustice. I am not trying to preach. I am not a Colored man, and I cannot tell the Colored man what is best for him. But I am going to ask three questions: 1. Can the white man's way of life make the black man happy? 2. Will the blacks, by learning the white civilization, make the white. equals? respect them and treat them as 3. What value has the white civilization for white men? The first question is for Colored people to answer. To the second, as a white man I must say No; at least I cannot say Yes. Some whites are angered by the Co'ored man's adoption of their ways, but those whites, the haters, do not matter. What does the so-called liberal white man think of the Co'ored man who learns his ways? He thinks, and sometimes says: "Why these Negroes seem to be quite intelligent, some of them. Quite teachable. A little white leadership, a little white guidance, and they give a pretty fair account of themselves. We must look after them. We have a great responsibility. That attitude DOES matter. That is the attitude that makes the white race hold all other races in subjection—with a clear conscience. And every time the Co'ored press echoes the white American's prejudices, every time it measures things with the white American's rule and judges people morals by white American standards, every time it parrots the white man's meaningless words about American equality, American Liberat- attitude. For parrotted words are: American Justice, it justifies a little the white American's superior not the words of free minds. Is the white civilization satisfactory even to white men. Many will tell you that it is not, that this civilization the Co'ored man is learning is a discredited thing. Others (the great majority) will say it is The Greatest the World Has Ever Seen. But if you study that you will see they speak me hunically. They are parrot们 were taken certain World when they were children, latter per words which they like to believe and will not question. They the white men are slaves of meaningless words. Next week—Slaves of Languages.) Charles W. Anderson, a Negro, formerly United States internal revenue collector, could go among his race and turn their minds any way in the interest of Republican candidates. But not so nowadays, for a new generation of colored people have taken up the problems of their race." (By The Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK, July 28—The National Urban League for Social Service among Negroes is in receipt of a check for $3,000 being a bequest to this organization by Mrs. Ella Sachs Plotz, a member of the League's Executive Board, who recently died in France. Mrs. Plotz shortly before her death wrote to Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the League as follows: "My interest in the colored race was early aroused by my mother's father, Mr. Marcus Go'dman, who was always a great admirer of Booker T. Washington, and often told me, as a child, of incidents in his life. Later Mr. Rosenwald invited me to go to Tuskegee and on that trip I met Mrs. William H. Baldwin.

"He will be the Governor of all the people, and he will not be partial to any class. That is proven by h's record in the senate, where he was fair to all, and as a result gained the confidence of the members so generally that they are nearly all supporting him. "It is very important that the Governor be of the type that can work with the legislature, and I am confident that Morgan can do that. He has a definite plan for tax reduction. He wants a budget system similar to the one which saved eight hundred million to our national government. He wants a part of the tax burden put on exempt securities, and taken of the shoulders of the farmer, the small merchant and those who are least abe to pay. These are days when we need a sane, sensible, forward looking governor and in my opinion W. Y. Morgan will make that kind of an official." WICHITA, July 28—Fred B. Stanley, former republican nationa committeeman, who takes an interest in politics because he believes it the duty of every citizen to do so, is for W. Y. Morgan for Governor. In a recent statement Mr. Stantley says: "There are so many reasons for supporting W. Y. Morgan for governor that I shall not try to state them all. Briefly, because he not on'y speaks the Kansas language—he lives the Kansas life; he dreams her dreams; he is in tune with her ideals. Morgan is a part, and had been for many years. He has been mixed up with so many of the real big things in Kansas for so many years that we know he can be trusted. These are some of the big reasons why I am for him for Governor."

Come along with the rest of the crowd on opening day and you will keep coming. ARE YOU AWARE? That sharper the contact the quicker the action and greater the reaction. That those, who seek $t_0$ help somebody else are doing much to help th'selves? That it is thought that Miss Hill, one of our newest pedogoues, has either enrolled or is thinking of enrolling in a low class? We feel quite satisfied that she is safe and will progress nicely in this new line, judging from the apparent competency of her new instructor. That the world is going on in its regular routine of progress in something and in other veritable deterioration has set in and made much headway toward destroying the real efficacy of human efforts. That there has been a time in the not $s_0$ remote history of the world that man could almost speak things into existence. There was a time that a leader had possession of a spirit well nigh infaible; whatever he said was the settling matter for all thought. There was a time that man could guarantee results in in any line of endeavor. A preacher could guarantee authoritatively manner of right and best results from his advice about so uction and how to live; an artist due to his keen ability to see the finished product before it is finished could guarantee a good and satisfactory piece of work; an automobile mechanic, a carpenter, a shoe maker and other workmen who have to deal with the perplexing results of destruction and deter oration after careful examination of the particular cases can guarantee satisfactory results—all these statements have made us think that the reason for the ability of these mentoned to guarantee results in advance is because of their preparation and strictness to duty. So this gives rise to this question; Why is it that so many people die when our physicans diagnose (or examine) and say they will live, or why is it they live when they are pronounced dying or will die in a short time? This is just to make us think. We desire to have some one answer this question before we attempt to present our solution as we have it. That we have some ministers, who preach something else besides the Gospel of the Lord and Savor Jesus Christ. Watch for them That some folks are always asking for various privileges and after they granted they find that did not want them after all; are you that way? That the fellow, who says he don't want folks to know any of his business generally has no business or its a business the law is watching for—is that you? Thatsome folks are always crying this or that is Jim-crow, but generally speaking that is the fellow, who wears that sign: "I am a Negro and don't want or expect much, the leaving will do for me." ```markdown ``` EVENTS OF THE DIAMONDS.

The A. B. C's of Indianapolis came to Chicago with thirty-one wins and thirteen losses and were confident of taking the odd game of the five game series with Rube Foster's American Giants. In this they grilled, dropping the opening contest on a Saturday, eight to five after getting away with a five to nothing lead. The Sunday game was one wild wooly affair. Torrientl getting two home runs over the right field fence and Beckwith getting two homes within the incisure. The score ended 10 to 8 against the invaders. Then the Giants got the third straight in the thirteenth when Williams walked to first when hit on the arm, went to second safely and when Day nuffed Mickey's peg Williams beat it to third, reaching there before Charleston's throw from centre field. DeMoss fled out to right, Jeffri taking the bal, from over his head on a dead run turned quickly and shot a perfect through to Mackey but it was a section of a second too late; Williams has scored after the catch. On Tuesday the Giants made it four straight, winning five to one and going into first place in the league race. Dixon was the cause of the Giants losing the last game, also Charleston and Ben Taylor. Ben double with one gone in the third and was sacrificed to third. On an easy fielder's choice. Rule tossed to Dixon for the SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR AND BOOST WICHITA'S GREAT ENTERPRISES. out at the plate. The umpire had waved Taylor out when he noticed Dixon had dropped the bal. in tagging the runner and the A's had scored their first run. Foster's men tied the count in the fifth and it remained that way until the tenth when with one gone, Charleston singled, went to seond on a passed ball and scored on Ben Taylor's sharp rap to centre. The result of this series is simply this, the Giants must beat Tat's Stats of Cleveland two straight to regain the lead and the third game to stray in the lead as Indianapolis is playing five games of exhibitions with the crack Bacharach Giants of New York City. This means that a win Sunday will put the Giants just two points behind Indianapolis, gaining a half a game. In the meantime the Monarchs of Kansas City and the Detroit Stats are fighting out in Detroit their argument as to who will have third 'pace when their five game series ends. Dicta Johnson, one of the best liked pitchers, that Indianapolis ever had replaces Dismukes as head of the Pittsburg Keystones. A Complete reversal in form is expected. Dicta knows that game, is a steady, reliable man and the Smoky City fans can look for some red hot baseball from now on. The elgue is going good. The interest has taken a sudden jump, First one club in the lead then the other with either Kansas City, Detroit, American Giants or Indianapolis with a splendid chance yet to win the flag. CHICACO, ILL., July 23.—The American Giants had little trouble in defeating the Tate Stars of Cleveland here today and moving back within two points of first place, gaining a half game on the Indianapolis A. B. C's, while the latter club was idle as far as the League was concerned by playing the Bacharach Giants of New York in an exhibition game. The Giants' victory over Cleveland was featured by Torrienti's homer in the very first frame with one on Catches by Gardner and Bonner also were spectacula as was the fielding of Braham, who twirled for the Forest Citylads.

The Cleveland club of the Negro National League is scheduled to play twin bil with the Detroit Stars at Detroit Sunday and from there will go to Darbey, Pa., playing the crack Hilldale club on August 2, 3, 5, 10, 12. Cleveland hooks up with the Baltimore Black Sox at Baltimore on the sixth and will entertain Pettus' Richmond Giants on August 7-8-9 at Richmond, Va. This series should prove a great attract'on inasmuch as the Cleve-Clevelanders have won four out of five from the Bacharachs of New York, trimming both Redding and Winters in a double bil, also having defeated the Kansas City Monarchs with Rogan twirling, six to five. Indianapolis A. B. C.'s will fight it out with the Kansas City Monarchs in a five game series which starts Saturday. Ben Taylor's club must win the majority of these games to hold his own. A severe defeat like the one he received by the Monarchs in Kansas City might put the Indianapolis club out of the running. Ses a
