Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.16, SLAVES OF LANGUAGE. (For The Associated Negro Press.) Sometimes we white Americans see a black man who envies us. To me at least, such envy is always surprising, pitiful, and somewhat absurd. We are not happy enough to be envied. Still we ought to be happy, happier at least than our ancestors. We belong to the race of two-legged vermin called Human Beings who ages ago proved themselves better killers than the other vermin on this mudball of planet. Long ago we learned not to fight every comer, but to get together and laughter the weaker animals. We have learned to do all sorts of ingenious thinks—to cover our bodies with the soft fur of the four-footers and fill our bellies with their flesh; to make fruits and vegetables grow wherever we want them; to cross oceans comfortably and safely; to fly; to build houses and warm them; to compose sounds pleasing to the ear and sights pleasing to the eye; to rob each other bloodless by methods approved by codes of.....Business; to divide our women so that we may each have one without violence; to make one another's acquaintance by system of mouth-noises, send tidings over wres and through the air, exchange stories by means of marks on pieces of paper; to adorn ourselves; to learn of our surroundings; even to create a God in our image, that we may worship ourselves with an appearance of humility. We have machinery powerful beyond our fathers' dreams for the rapid making of countess treasures. Yes, we ought to live like gods; particularly in America, with a world of untouched riches. But How DO We Live? All day we work in stores and factor's, using our great machines to produce more great machines that our children may make more machines. We work in dust and smoke, and return to ugly homes to eat and sleep. Evenings, we rush to the nearest cheap amusement, or if we have money, to something better which we have never taken time to understand and appreciate. Art, Enjoyment, Laughter? We have no time for these things. They are Frivoous. Business Before Pleasure. Americans are Hustlers. We do Things. We have More Money than Any Other Nation. The rubber bands we make would stretch around Jupiter. We are learning to Live Longer—and to Make More rubber bands and bottle stoppers. We are advancing in Civilization. This Is Progress. We Must Do Our Duty. Don't ask silly questions; if we stop to find out what we're doing we'll never get it done. What is the meaning of all this—this rushing, rushing to the grave Preparation for another world? Queer preparation. Work for the next generation? We are teaching the next generation the same thing. It is simply the worship of words we have never tried to understand. Every new invention brings new power, and Man plays with his new power to show how well he can use it; Vanity makes him want new playthings, more wealth; afraid somebody else will have more than he has, he uses his time increasing his possessions instead of enjoying them; and knowing his emptiness, sensing a little the absurdity of his life, he covers his nonsense with big names, which he will defend to the death. He ties himself to a word, and stubborn vanity keeps him even from questioning that word. If he can make holt buckles faster than any one else, he will take up all his time with the making of buckles, and call buckle-making Civilization, or Duty, or Progress, or the White Man's Burden, and swear that nothing else is equal to it. And he calls himself what he thinks he would like to be, and fights anybody who says he isn't. The General Baptist State Convention of Miss., Holds A Great Session.

"Atrocities Of Southland Should Cause Us To Bow Head In Shame" Declares Virginian WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11—Dicussing the necessity for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, Mr. H. E. Barnett, a Virginian, has the following to say: "As a former Virginian I have bowed my head in shame at the atrocities of the southland. Years ago I viewed the victim of a mob hanging by the neck from an apple tree. He was gagged, his clothes torn and his skin lacerated and bruised by the stones over which he had been dragged. "The sight sent cold chills through me. I saw him many nights after in my dreams. It was a scene I shall never forget; and yet all, except the members of the victim's race, prattled and giggled as if nothing unusual had happened!" "Later in the day the body of the victim was cut down, and the corner's jury rendered a verdict that the victim had come to his death at the hands of persons unknown—yet well known—to the jury. When men by whom the law is enacted for the betterment of the community, fall to uphold it, and become violators of the code under which society in the the state is to be governed, then the general government should step forward and vindicate the order of civilization and pass such a bill as the Dyer anti-lynching bill, whether it is thought by pettifoggers to be constitutional or not. Human rights are superior to state rights." He will fight to prove he's peaceful, and lock people up for saying he doesn't allow free speech. He will lynch in the name of Law and Order. But he isn't a hypocrit. He is mere y that most vain and selfish of all beings—an idealist. Failing to live up to his own ideals, too vain to admit failure, he pretends he has succeeded, and will fight the world to spread the names of those ideals, no matter what horrors he may spread with them. He is a save who, rather than see another pass him, will enslave the world. And he believes in the madness that he preaches. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Aug. 11, 1922. Education, Rev. W. H.

CORA JAMES, Sec. .... Man Dives 110 Feet Into Mississippi River For $25.01; Drowns. MEMPHIS, TENN., Aug. 9—Three thousand people paid less than a penny aplece to see Edward Powell, a one-legged man, stage a "death dive" from Harahan bridge into the Mississippi river 110 feet below last Sunday afternoon. Powell drowned before aid could reach him. According to reports Powel announced early last week that he would make the dive on Sunday, but would precede the performance with a collection which he intended to use to buy himself an artificial limb. This announcement appealed strongly to the sympathies of the people and a large nu titude gathered to see Powell perform the fate. The collection brought only $25 01, but Powel, was game and stitched that he was a man of his word, and went through with the exhibition which MONROVIANS GET CHARTER. The Monrovia Park Association, one of the first colored corporations in the West to own and maintain a baseball park and regular ball team, received a state charter Friday and will within the next week place on the market a number of shares for public subscription.

DELEGATION LARGER THAN EXPECTED BRINGING THE CREAM OF THE RACE Prince Hall Grand Chapter opened their 39th Annual Communication at their Hill, 615 N. Main St., 10.00 a.m. Aug. 9th 1922, with worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Gertrude Clark of Lawrence, Kans., presiding. The Grand Chapter was opened in form according to the ancient rights and order of the Eastern Star. They opened with a far larger delegation than was expected; the attendance was so much larger than was expected, they had to move to the Court House for their Grand Session. They found in their attendance at the opening representative members of the Grand Order of Court of Celtanheand the Grand S. M. Ts'. of Kansas. In fact Wichita has a distinguished guest within its wall and we welcome them. At Calvary Baptist Church to a large audience of the best thinking people of the race the following program was rendered: Invocation by Rev. J. W. Hayes, the pastor, who prayer for the success of the meet and for the night program and thank God for leading women of the race. A song by the Calvary chorus was fully of life and we stood ready to hear Mr. E. C. Elliott, the city manager, who talked plainly on the moral effects of the law and extended welcome on behalf of city to a set who were worthy of the welcome. Organ So'o by Mrs. D. L. Sms. Rev. B. C. Pannavalona delivered welcome on behalf of Churches and he first touched on the beauty and culture of the race; then on the sign of the truth of the prophecy: "that this race will soon be the leading Christian race in America." The principles are in you of the Christ, so the churches stand open to you. In the response by Mr. E. Roberson, he said; he was surprise to know that he was to fill the place of a man who makes his living talking. He complimented the city manager. Mr. Elliott for coming himself and not sending someone. He spoke of the beautiful streets of the city and its people and accepted the welcome in behalf of the Prince Hall Chapter. Solo by Mrs. N. B. Copeland was charming to music lovers. Welcome on behalf of Princes and Lutie Brown Chapters by Mrs. Ida Balance was very appropriate. She grew eloquent with her sweet words of welcome. The response by Mrs. Marie Soanes, G. A. M. was equally as appropriate. She pictured the beautiful city and said its represented the hearts of the people. She was thoughtful in the accepting of the welcome. Solo by Mrs. H. T. Greeder brought many applauses. The Reading: "Ethiopia" by Miss Marie Brown was good inspite of a cold. The solo by Mrs. Myrtle Letcher was a sweet rendition. Dr. J. R. Ransom gave few word of welcome, which was very fitting. Mrs. W. G. Curt's held the audience her way while she reading Dunbar's Lodge Meeting, assigning it to the Eastern Star. Remarks by Rev. J. W. Hayes was story and to the point showing how he appreciated the meeting. The chorus by St. Paul's A. M. E. Choir was so well rendered until they received an encore and they gave "Steal Away" with equally as much sweetness. It was charming and appeasing any person and lover of the race. The Reading: "When De Corn Pon's Hot" by Mrs. Corrine Dettis Brown, brought many applauses. Mrs. G. Gertrude Walton, mistress of ceremony, introduced G. W. M., Mrs. Certrude Clark of Lawrence, who modestly declined from saying anything as her work had been heavy to any person and lover of race The lissa Sexton, sweety sang: "Nobody Knows" by Burleigh, the encore brought "Malindy Lue". It sounded rather lovely for the Holy of Holies. er Better Race Relations. «Most of the thinking of whites and Negroes about one anotlcr in Aimer {ca Js not more then half truth—hal: truth given currency by newspapers and magazines, whte and colored; neer facts t'nged by racial interpre: tation. Special racial situations, such as riots, nre usua'ly Interprcted to the outside world according to the racial state of mind of the person or group reporting. Community customs and attitudes are not determined by facts, but are based upon certain racial as sumptions with httle basis in fact; for example, the common assumption among whites, when a Negro family tries to gct away from the muddy, dark, unpoliced streets where most Negro homes are, that they want to Ive next door to white people. Here, {a the test for those who would Improve race relations: to state the ezse in terms of the concrete and thus challenge white and colored men to action around concrete situations where agreement is easiest, Out of such work will come to better racial attitude, There are here in the South great Luman tesks which chal'enge white and colored inte.ligence and faith.

The project method of instruction, which is widely uscd in teaching Smith. Hughes work, not only gives the stu- dent a hnowledge of agriculture, but provides training in business methods, for the boy who is given charge of a project must buy his supp les, have «ntire charge of the work, heep ac- count of his costs, sell hts produce, and give accurete figures as to profit and loss. In South Carolina alone there are 22 Negro schools where Smith-Hughes work {s given; in Ten- nessee here are 16 teachers of Smith. Hughes agriculture; while Texas, Ar- hansas, Mississ'ppi, and North Caro: lina each have 15 schoos where thls subject is taught. One State super: visor of Negro schools writes, “There is a growing demand for this type of teacher and we have funds which will enable us to put on some five or 13 additional teachers each year.” The importane of securing men of ability for these positions is now be- ing recognized by Government ant State officials, and attractive salar: jes are paid to these instructors, The pay for county cgents and Smith Hughes teachers ranges from $900 tc $1500 per ycar, whiie supervisors ani directors of teacher-training receive even better salaries, —Southern Workman Indian Agricultural Needs The Ind ans necd to be taught more about gardening and tht use of veyree tables.

Allotments heep- ing them seperated have been mostun- popular; they must come together and visit and talk over and pan together what Is to be done. Any kind of work or play which can be combined with a “council” has its success par- tlally secured, Fatmer's meetings and clubs, women's societies, and feasts for all, young peopie’s organi. tetions or boys’ and girls’ clubs could be organ'zcd and used as great agen- eles in the teaching of proper hving conditions and economle progress, What should be the center for all of this? In the old days everything for the Indians centered in their re- ligion. and their religion permeated every phase of thelr life. We muy call it superstitution and deplore many evils which {it cuntained; but something supernatural was at tho heart of ell that was most precious.

Thoughts To Think About CHICAGO, Aug. 11—Wi.liam Al- ‘en White, nationally famed daily newspaper ¢ditor of Emporia, Kan- ag, Ina syndicated article, published recently in a number of daily pepers, told the “wh-te people where to get off, “so far as “poking fun” at Co‘or- ed people is concerned. Said Mr. Whites “At Westfield, N. J., a Colored golf club has been established and a nine-hole course laid out. A Colored colony there scems to warrent the gofcourse, The item that this course is laid out will cause a million gig- gies to sizzle across the country. Car- toonists will make funny pictures of t.

Now, this might have sound sweet to the car of this noted boxer, but it sounds like a rattle of screw that is loosened by jealousy for the fame that his opponent has had, to the thinking Negro of Wichita and even the white man of this city as a whole thanks very little of a suggestion to unlawfully take the life of any one. Now, Mr. Langford might have meant well, to appease his own destructive nature, but his judgement is bad, if he thinks that he has to come to this city, where the races think of lynchings as savage stunts, pulled of by people who have no thought of God, government nor humanity, but in Wichita every force is against the occasion of the use of the rope for the law. We don't hold that any man, who roams the country just to demonstrate how he can trike his fist and beat a man into subjection, is doing the highest thing for the development of the world unto to goodness and unto God, but if men will do it, there is something in the breast of every race loving man that makes him want a member of his race to lead and when the world stood on anxious tip-toes to see the results of LADIES AND DELEGATES OF O.E.S.
