THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol.14, No.21 CENTENARIAN PASSES AWAY AT THE AGE OF 121 YEARS OLD. Leaving Children To The Fourth Generation. High Tributes Paid Her By Ministers Of The City. (W. Donahue, Star Correspondent) The funeral services of Mrs. Clara Dawson-Fountain, was he'd Tuesday afternoon at the St. Matthews C. M. E. Church at 2:30 o'clock. Rev, H. H. Edmonds, pastor, conducted the services, and was ably assisted by other ministers of the city, all of whom pad her the highest tribute of esteem and honor. Long before the hour for the funeral services, men and women from various walks of life had gathered at the church and taxed its setting and standing capacity. Men, women and children, stood motionless to catch the last word of the solemn funeral rites. School children lingered outside to watch the funeral procession. The funeral of this old sainted Centenary took on unusual form and a seeming touch of grief possessed the audience during the service. Each speaker portrayed the good and the beautiful in the life lived by Mother Fountain and on this particular and unusual occasion death was clothed in beauty. For one hundred years, she had lived a devoted Christian life. Her favorite passage of Scripture was the 23d Psalm and her favorite songs were "Savior More Than Life To Me" and "He Knows it All." Rev. Edmond chose as his text Proverb 31:110. Nor could a more fitting chapter have been chosen to emulate the life of Mrs. Fountain. She had not only been faithful to her immediate children, but was loved by her children of the third and fourth generation because of the pure, sweet, serene life she had lived. The tenderness and sweetness of her soul radiated thru the long life of toil, sacrifice and service. It was said that "She never compla'ned of life and that even though she had lived thru the horrors of the wars of the 10th century she was glad to give her great grandson during the World's War, with the hope that peace and good will for all mankind might be perfected. Rev. Fishback Pays H'gheet Tribute. Rev. E. T. Fishback paid mother Fountain the highest possible tribute, a a woman, a mother, and a Christian. He attributed her long life of usefulness and service to the fact that she feared and loved her Creator, Meek, and lowly, she lived in humble submission to her Father. This together with her purity and simplicity of habits prolonged her life to six score years and one according to God's Word." Biographical Sketch of Mrs. Clara Dawson Fountain.

Mrs. Fountain worked hard on her master's tobacco plantat on and learned to smoke a pipe at the age of 12 years old. She attributed her youthfulness and long life to simplicity of habits, out of door work and Christian faith. She is survived by one son, Dawson Briley, 72 year old, of this city, 19 grand children and 10 great grandchildren, one of her grandsons Dr. N. D. Briley, is a practicing physician of this city. The record of her birth was sent to her a few years ago by her former master's children, and this record verifies the statement that she was the oldest citizen of the State of Kansas and among the oldest in the United States. Other ministers, who spoke of this beautiful character were Rev. Douglass, Rev. Brown and Rev. Hancock. The body was buried in Highland Cemetery. "She sleeps in peace and all well." WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 15, 1922 WOODMEN OF UNION HAS BROKEN ALL RECORDS. Marvelous Development Under J. L. Webb. HOT SPRINGS, ARK., Sept. 15- A fraternal organization which advocates the both, the screen, and fresh air may not be new "Under the Sun" but the slogan "clean homes, clean bodies, clean lives" has heped to make the Woodmen of the Union one of the strongest orders of its kind in the country. In spite of the railroad strike something more than 2000 delegates, representing 1200 local lodges in the states of Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, and Missouri gathered here this week for the annual Grund Lodge Session, and the dedication of the $150 000 Hospital and Bath House was the outstanding feature of the week's proceedings. On Wednesday evening at Visitors Chapel A. M. E. Church the addresses of welcome were delivered: Dr. C. M. Wade extending-the welcome on behalf of the citizens; Prof. R. C. Barrow on behalf of the Churches and Prof. S. M. Wyatt on behalf of the local fraternal organizations. Prof. G S. Goodman of Holly Springs, Mississippi, the Supreme Vice President, responded on behalf of the visitors and he took occasion to tell something of the achievements of the organization, during the past six years. PRESIDENT KENDALL'S ANNUAL ADDRESS. Dr. E. A. Kendall, the Supreme President, in his annual address, reviewed the past record of the organization and in contrast with the records of previous years he stated that it was a "Source of pride to the order and to the race" that in spite of unsettled economic conditions throughout the country the Woodmen of the Union had made most remarkable progress this year. THE CUSTODIAN'S REPORT John L. Webb, the Supreme Custodian of the organization, was recently elected Treasurer of the National Negro Business League and his annual report showed that the Woodmen of Union have assets amounting to $433,000 and that 120,000 has been paid out in sick and death claims to members. "Our organization" said Mr. Webb, "was never in better financial condition than at present and the members gave frequent evidence of their appreciation of Mr. Webb's service to be order. The committee appointed to review the custodian's report said: "Any organization among any people that can in six years turn a $5,000 deficit into a credit balance of $206,000 and during the same period pay out $610,000 in sick and death claims is worthy of the confidence and support of the best everywhere." All of that is the work of John L. Webb," said one of the speakers, "for he took charge of the order when it had no money and a mere handful of members and has made it one of the outstanding orders of the race." The Woodmen Hospital and Bath House was completed and began serving the public about three months ago, but the formal dedication took place Thursday, August 31st. O. J. Johnson Lynched In Texas. (Preston News Service) BEAUMONT, TEX., Sept. 15—O. J. Johnson, who had been tried twice on a charge of murder, jury disagree- ing each time, was taken from the jail at Newton, last Wednesday, strung to a tree limb and his body riddled with bullets. Full Comprehension of Bible Teaching Will Stop Lynching Evil. (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, PA., Sept. 17— The professed Christian white people of the South claim they are butterly opposed to lynching and ascribe the cause of the numerous outrages in the South and e sewhere in this country to the almost wholesale disregard for the principles laid down in the Bible. The Presbyterian, in discussing the lynching evil says in part: "Instead of implying that such evils are endorsed by Southern Christian people, it would be better to inquire into the cause and cure of the evil. "If there was prevailing among the people of our age a knowledge and reverence for the Bible as the Word of God and a rule of life, both for this world and the world to come, together with a sense of responsibility for obedience unto this rule of God, it would go far toward the correction of this evil and similar evils. Sad to say, Many writers and speakers who deal with these social evils are seeking by appeal to scientific advantage and to common untility as the means of educating the people out of this social degradat on. The trouble in the case is not the lack of knowledge, but the lack of motive. More information will not correct any of these social threatenings. The need is for more conscience, and that can be awakened only by a keener sense of God's requirements. These requirements are revealed in the Word of God, and especially in the moral law. But many of these humanitarian writers reject God's Word and God's law, and encourage others to do likewise. Consequently, there is a low state of responsibility among the people, and this brood of cruelty impurity, lynching, general murder, personal unfaithfulness, and other like evils, grow apace. The modern cultured rationalist in his rejection of the Word and of God is doing more to break down the social life and increase the crime of our times than any other influence. We must get the people back to the Bible and submission thereunto, or these evils will wry worse and worse until there is a fatal colapse." Confesses Shooting Non-Union Worker (Preston News Service) MEMPIHS, TENN., Sept. 15—Ten men all of whom, according to the police, have made confessions and all of whom, the authorities say, admit being striking Frisco employees, are under arrest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charles L. Lanier, non-union Frisco shop employee. It is claimed by the men under arrest that they only intended to frighten Lanier and his companion when ambushed. The a legged confession, the police declare, reveals the plot to waylay C. L. Stevens, non-union Frisco shop foreman; pulling spikes from Frisco track near Capleville, and the slaying of two Negro employees of the Rock Island railroad at Hulbert, Ark. Dr. E. C. Morris Dies Lingering Illness. (Preston News Service) LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Sept. 14—Dr. Elias C. Morris, aged 67 years, died here Tuesday morning at the home of his son, F. D. Morris, and whose body laid in state from 4.00 Wednesday afternoon until 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon in the chapel of the Arkansas Baptist College. Dr. Morris had been in failing health for the past year. He became seriously ill during the session of the state convention in Hot Springs last November and never fully recovered. He has served his race in many ways, and always maintained the highest respect of both races through Arkansas, and was especially active with all race AT REST. The last sad rites over the remains of a faithful mother in Zion was the funeral services held at St. Paul A. M. L. Church last Friday afternoon, when the church was filled with members and friends of the deceased, Mrs. Nannie Howard, who died last Tuesday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bertie Waters, 305 W. 8th St. Rev. Ransom, who officiated and was assisted by other pastors of the city, paled a glowing tribute to the life and character of the deceased, and the impressive memorial resolutions from the different departments of the church, together with that of Daughters of Tabor of which she was an active member made the occasion a deeply felt loss to the community. The abundant floral offerings also expressed stronger than words the high regard held for such a noble and faithful character. White Ruffian Terrorizes Negroes—Killed (Preston News Service) TUPELO, MISS., Sept. 13—Joe Miller, (white) of Guntown, a small village near here, came to town on Saturday afternoon before Labor Day and with a company on, Dee House, started to paint the town red. Miller is said to have brought along a good supply of corn whiskey and imbibed it free y enough to keep up his nerve. They deed that the best place to go and have some real fun wile be down among the Negroes whom they could scare out of their wits and at the same time would not be bothered by the local police. It is said that they would go into Negro business places and start tough-house; insult Negro women on the streets, strike and kick Negro predestinates. They had not gone far with their depredations until a Negro businessman telephoned the police about the conduct of these two white men. Patrolman Carr went to Miller and his company on and ordered them to eave that section. They demonstrated with the officer and he attempted to place them under arrest. Dee House, Miller started to run. The Officer ordered him to halt and Dee House, Miller started to run. The Officer ordered him to halt and when he failed to do so, fired, killing him instantly.

He was regarded aq one of the foremost leaders of the race, always cane, conservative and practical. His aim was to make friends and he made them on all occasions. Dr. Morris made many staunch friends among the leading white people throughout the country. Dr. Morris served the National Convention of the Baptist, said to be the largest religious organization in the world, with a following of more than three million, for 29 consecutive years and was president at the time of his death. For the past 35 years he had been president of the State Baptist Convention and was founder of the Arkanas Baptist College. He also established the Baptist Vanguard a publication devoted to the interest of the Baptist church connection.

He was called from the school to pastorate of this church 43 years ago, and at his 43rd anniversay as pastor, held the first week in July, last, the church congregation presented him with $2,000. In addition to his regular salary, his church has given him $50 a week during his illness.

The Program Touches In Many Places. By The Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15—The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is on the S.nate program for action. That means, under the rules of the Anti-Lynching bill is one of the measures that will get action in this term of Congress, which will doubtless recess before election, but does not finally adjourn recess before election, but does not finally adjourn until March 3rd, 1923. There is a difference of opinion as to whether a "motion to consider" will be reached before or after the election recess. Strong pressure is being brought to bear by Senators in the pivitol states, where Colored votes are the balance of power, to have the bill considered now. This may be done. It is known that President Harding, Senators Lodge, Shortridge, and McCormick, Chairman Adams of the Republican National Committee, James Weldon Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P., Henry L. Johnson National Committeeman of Georgia; Perry W. Howd, Special Assistant Attorney General; Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds, all of the newspapers, various organizations by resolutions and committees visiting the President and Leaders, influential private citizens of both races, each, all, have had an important part in bringing the bill to its present position in the Senate. The Liberian Loan of $5,000,000 will soon be passed by the Senate, it is confidently predicted. This measure, already passed by the House, is also on the Senate program for action. This loan will be of great benefit to the African Republic, in getting the nation on a firmer economic basis. HAITI BEING HELPED .... The loan of Twenty or more million dollars Haiti is practically completed, according to the latest information. This means that the Western Republic will soon be flourishing under the stimulus of adequate financial backing in the program to be carried out in its behalf under the treaty. General Russell, the High Commissioner for the Government, who has been back in Haiti for a number of months, has mapped out a pretentious program, which, according to advices, will be carried out to the letter. It is known authoritively, by The Associa. Negro Press, that there is a strong desire to enlist the most enlighten people of America in making the program a success. Already negotiations are on to utilize the ability and services of some of these best people. In short time opportunities will be opened for scores of capable men and women to assist in helping the government carry out its agreement to Haiti. Baptist World's Alliance. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the Federated Churches of Christ in America. Dr. Morris was born in Murray county, Georgia in 1855. He received his elementary education in the pubic schools of Alabama and received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from the State University, Louisville, Ky., in 1662, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Alabama in 1002. He had traveled extensively through Europe and was an enemy to everything that would bring about entanglement between the races. He believed in the South, and refused to even consider flattering offers from large congregations in the North. Dr. Morris declared that his duty was with hlg people, and if they suffered (Continued on page 4 Kansas' Farmer Holds Important Part In Republican Platform TOPEKA, Sept. 11—Kansas farmers have never had a more important part in the making of a party platform than they did in heaping build the Republican state platform this year. Old timers who have been checking the matter find it difficult to point to a platform where the real dirt farmer had a greater influence than he had in the Republican Party Council which met at Topeka August 29 and framed a party platform which declared for many things of vital concern to the rural districts. The platform was drafted by a committee of twenty-one, and was headed by W. Y. Morgan, the Republican candidate for Governor. Sx of the members are actually engaged in agriculture, while Congressman Tincher is in the cattle business, several of the other platform builders are interested in farms, and it is a fact little known, yet one that accounts for the understanding with- he has of the problems of the farmer, that W. Y. Morgan, the Republican candidate for Governor, has a couple of farms, himself. And in problems of the farm and the farmer. But the real farmers who figured in the making of the Republican platform were Senator Bert Club, of Scottsville, one of the biggest and best farmers in northwest Kansas, while to keep him company there was Warren Clup, of McPherson, a candidate for the legislature, active in the Farmers Union and one of the most successful farmers in McPherson county. Eastern Kansas was represented by Frank Pomeroy, of Jackson county, who is not only a real farmer, but is an active leader in Kansas Grange, and knows the needs of the farmer as the Grange sees the problem. Then there was Henry M. Laing, of Russell county, a member of the Strto Board of Agriculture, a member of the legislature, and one of the best ported farmers in the State. Along with him there was H. G. Kyle, of Dickinson county, who has been a farmer all his life, and knows enough about it to make a good living from the soil, while the cattlemen were represented by W. C. Millar, of Greensburg, who has been active in the Kansas live-stick industry for years, and who has been and is now a successful operator. With these men on the committee and with the backing which they had from other members who knew something of the problems that confront the farmers and stockmen, is easy to understand how it is that the republican platform takes a firm stand in favor of legislation for the farmer. Under the leadership of these men and with the entire committee, as well as the party council itself in complete harmony with the suggestions of the farmer members the Republican platform declared for an amendment to the constitution that would make it possible to do away with the unfair assessment of farm lands and homes; for a change that would do away with double taxation on farm mortgages, a tax which the farmer pays, and not the holder of the mortgage; for a limitation of the power to issue tax exempt securities, in order that money so badly needed, may be released for the development of agriculture; for the betterment of rural schools; for a budget system that will reduce State expenditures, and for legislation that will give the people of each county the right to say whether they want hard surface roads, at all and if they do want good roads to give them the power to say what kind they shall be, where they WHEN You are looking for bargains in Groceries and Meats, and yet want the best on the market at very reasonable prices you will find them at the 320 E. 21ST ST.

K." threatening murder, was received by A. Philip Randolph, editor THE MESSENGER. The package marked, from a Friend, New Orleans," was opened by the police. The letter warned Randolph to keep out of white men's movements and to unite with his own race. Randolph said he believed it was sent by his enemies in the South and that it referred to a recent controversy between himse f and Marcus Garvey. The letter warns him against interfering with anything in the South. It concludes: "Now be careful how you publish this letter in your magazine or we may have to send your hand to some one e'se. Don't think we can't get you and your crowd. Although you are in New York City it is just as easy as if you were in Georgia.

She leaves 65 grand children and one great grand child and her loving husband to mourn her loss. She was a member of Pleasant Grove M B Church and lived a Christian.

Verily, the Kansas farmer has left his trademark on the Republican state platform and with a holdover Senate which now contains many farmers and the candidates for the legislature coming mostly from the rural districts, there is no question of a Republican Governor and a Republican legislature, the farmer will be able to put on the statute books the things which will benefit agriculture. And in that he will have the help and support of the state, for the average Kansan is smart enough to know that the farmer is the backbone of prosperity, and that the things that benefit him, help every Jayhawker.

Our pastor preached to us a Biblical sermon, Sunday morning, which set fire to the hearts of all in attendance. He expounded on the certainty of God's existence—Not trying to prove, however that there was a God morely like for the proof's sake. He made God's existence real nevertheless discussing it from the Bible view point, the heaven y view point, the earthly view point and the prophets. Mr. L. L. Bird united with us in view of a letter. Sunday evening our congregation was grand with the presence of Dr. Hill, B. Th., of Independence, Mo., who expounded the truth of the Gosto us from the verse: "For the one God and meaduator between God and man," the man Christ and why. Dr. Hill made a statement in the out set that is besitting to the Christian for his adoption—"If you want a victory, put your trouble at Jesus' feet and save them there." "God Human and Divine" was the subject and the proposition to be proved. Dr. Hill stated that it had always been a proposition to him how God could take on his nature and yet without sin; but in the logical discourse and solution of this proposition he reached a satisfactory conclusion, proving time after time and incident after incident, that God was human and divine. God on earth walked and conducted himself as human occupying space and could be seen with the physical eye. Men witnessed the fact of having seen Him this established the fact that He was human. He did things which were beyond human powers showing that He was God. He was approved of by Heaven, showing that He was God. were cited proving the proposition at hand which was beautifully done by Dr. Hill. St. St. Paul Notes. The pleasant change in the weather seemed to increase the desire to attend divine services and many seemed to take advantage of it. Last Sunday morning and evening. It was a great day in Zion to all. Two splendid sermons were delivered by Rev. Iansom. One on the subject of "Yet There Is Room" from Luke 14th chapter 22d verse in which the parab. of the rich Lord, which had forced his servants to go out in the streets and lanes and compel them to come into the feast. They obeyed and yet there was room. The spiritual application of this incident was brought out formally by the compar son of two classes of people—those in favorable circumstances with frivolous excuses and those who are poor, and suffering for the necessities of life; their eager response to the invitation and yet there was room. The evening subject: "The Sin of swearing" was practically applied to some people who proclaim themselves converted Christians, but like Peter, they are prone to profane God's name at the least provocation. The closing services for this Conference year will occur Sunday. Rev. Ransom will preach in the morning on the subject: "God' Enemy" and in the even.ng: "Identified with Christ." On Monday evening a spicy program will be rendered with music by choir, five minute talks by the pastors of the different churches of the city, reports, resolutions and the Pastor's Annual Report.

Grand Recital. At the New Hope Baptist Church, on Tuesday evening, September 19th by FROF. NORTON E. DENNIS Director of Music at Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, under the aspicies of the Y. M. C. A. Admission 25 Cents. Atchison Happenings Services at Ebenezer Baptist Church were well attended all day Sunday. Bible School opened at 9:30 a.m. conducted by Prof. W. E. Gray, Supt. The lesson was very interesting and the school full of enthusiasm. Devotionals were led by Brother Page. At 11:00 a. m., the Pastor, Rev. W. C. Cartwright preached an able sermon; subject; "It pays to be a Christian." This sermon was full of practical advice. Five visitors were introduced and all expressed themselves as having been helped by the services. The following are the names of visitors: Mr. Virgil Dysart, Omaha, Neb. E. E. Frazier, St. Louis, Mo., Miss Marion Richey, Topeka, Kans., Miss Hazel Williams, Minneapolis, Minn., Miss Irene Wilson, Cameron, Mo. After the regular services were closed, Sister Clara McCloster, gave the church greetings from her baby daughter Edna. Miss Edna McCloster is a student in High School and was a conscientious worker in Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. and the Junior Mission. All of these departments will miss Miss Edna very much. Miss Edna has gone to live with her uncle, who is going to educate her We wish for her great success. The following bade the church good bye Sunday morning:—Brother Walter Gray, who will teach this year in the Junior High School, Wichita, Kan. Brother Victor Gray to attend the University, Lawrence, Kans, and also Sister Carry Gray will be with him. Miss Zelma Bradford, will ably teach in Plat City, Mo., this year. At 3:30 p. m., the pastor, Rev. P. H. Smith was formally installed at Mt. Olive Church, Rev. W. C. Cartwright preached the installation sermon. In this sermon, we were made to realize the change in the relation of Rev. Cartwright to the churches.

Our service were very good on last Sunday. Our Sunday School was opened on time by the Supt. Bro. A. R. Washington and the subject was "Teach the Law." Golden Text—"Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes: and I shall keep it unto the end."—Ps. 119:33. A plea was made for the getting together of the people of to day and getting out of God's word the truth as it is needed in our lives. We had more than seventy students in our classes on last Sunday. I think it speaks very well, when we consider the attraction that is invading the city. Our young people seem to stand fast by their colrs. Our preaching service was very good and all enjoyed the sermon delivered by our pastor Rev. J. E. Douglass, who preached from Mal. 3.7; subject: "Come Home." At 3:30 p.m., the City wide Mission met at our church and a grand session was enjoyed. Mrs. Bates and her assistants are doing things along this line in the City; we are proud of this good lady. Rev. Dr. Hill of Independence, Mo., was with us and made our hearts to feel glad. Mrs. Dobb was the main speaker for this occasion and we have never listened to a more timely address than was delivered by this lady. Revs. Hayes, Fishback, Douglas spoke in cheering terms with closing remarks by our State Miss'onary, Dr. Van Leu. Our night service were very interesting. Our pastor seem to have a vision of something, we can't tell just what, but we thought he had been preaching, but he stepped up a step or so. God bless him and his family. The sermon was more than interesting. We are planning on a home coming meeting at our church at which time we hope to see all of the children of the family.

THE Negro race can never hope to attained to the highest height of political success until it can produce leaders broad enough to lay aside personal jealousy and work together as a harmonious whole to secure full party recognition based upon the individual glad to be found in the race. Leaders must arrive at the conclusion that the greater interests of the race are vastly more important than the mere pittance which they may be able to secure by devoting their political engery where the greatest amount of pay can be obtained. The political success of the Race dictates that its leaders battle for PRINCIPLES and a FULL RECOGNITION of the POLITICAL RIGHTS of the NEGRO by the party that gets the patronage of the race; A recognition that will concede the fact that the individual members of the race ought and must have in accordance with their ability and character the same consideration after a party victory that is accorded to members of the white race of similar political affiliation. Such recognition is bound to come when Negro leaders and Bosses stop seeking money consideration and battle to the end for racial recognition after a party victory. It is well to wait upon the Lord yet all to often leaders and Members of the Race are inclined to not only wait upon the Lord but to allow Him to do all the work for the race. Prayer and racial humility will never move the stone of racial opposition from the onward march of the Negro Race. The cry of the age is for men who have caught the inspiration not only of fidelity to the cause of Christ, but loyalty to the cause of the Race and are willing to use their talent and strength for the glory of the race not only in the Christian Church but in every avenue and channel of racial activity that will tend along strictly legitimate lines to produce racial success. GO to some Church Sunday and catch a renewal of those forces which you once possessed that made you love to hear the sainted songs of your mother as she moved to and fro about her daily task. The Evangelical churches of your city have more truths to offer you without price than all the other places that you may visit Sunday. The church today is offering to not only America but the entire world the only program that is a sure panacea for the world's ills; Why not be a part in the forces that are going to put over the CHRIST PROGRAM? WATCH that person who sits in the rear of God's Holy Temple and seeks to make fun of every feature of the regular service; With sin filled eyes laughs at every movement and notes with jealous eye the dress of every well clad woman who passed their pew; That claims to have knowlepe of every person who has violated the code of moral honor in the community; That strives to attract the attention of youthful mind from a proper observance of ethical conduct in God's House; That rejoices in ordinary neighborhood gossip more than a hog does in warm slop; That person is steeped in ignorance, lost to all sense of things worthwhile, filled with a false conception of their own importance and near to the Divine Curse of Heaven as a violator of the Unpardonable Sin. WATCH thou THYSELF and let world watch the other fellow; KNOW THYSELF as well as the world knows you and never will you have time to find the darkness in the other fellow's life. The great trouble with the average individual is that he spends the greater part of his time detecting the errors of the other chap ever failing to let the world know some of the things that he know which directly concern his own individual life.

Reduced Fare All Railroads KIMEL'S FOR DRUGS NO political party has any right expect more than experience has taught the Negro voter that he may expect it to give in political considera on to his race, after an electon tory. Mere pre-election promises e worthless and offer no hope of ing realized upon unless the party which makes then will insert into its atform presented to the people the recognition of the Negro so angible that it may be pointed out the successful forces after an elec on and later be used in accordance with the degree of sincerity with which the party has lived up to its cognition. Principles and Purity consideration after election both in aling with the individuals and asses of a race are the prime facors for consideration by the Negro TERS. It is not enough to point records of any particular party in the distant past as the thinking Nero today is living in the present catching with marked interests passing events which rise fiery signs of a ast approaching future which is to determine the status of his race in the United State; Therefore, he must note in accord not with historical records, but on the best tangible evidences of hope he may secure for the immediate consideration of the ablities and sterling character of his race it the hands of a victorious party. N. A. A. C. P. Furnishes Senators Data On Lynching. Following the action of the Senate Steering Committee on August 30 in placing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill on the program for consideration at the present session of Congress, the National Association for the Advance ment of Co'ored People sent to those members of the Senate who are expected to support the bill on the floor full and authentic data on lynching, so it was announced today by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. This data consist of authentic statistics and figures giving the number of known lynchings that have taken place in the United States during the past thirty-three years, together with the names of the victims, the place of the lynchings, circumstances and the alleged crime charged. These figures will be especially valuable in contradicting the argument which is certain to be repeated in the Senate that Negroes are lynched only for the crime of rape. Similar data was furnished by the N. A. A. C. F. when the Anti-Lynching Bill was being considered in the House of Representatives and the friends of the Bill in the House were able to meet with facts and figures the false statements made by the Congressmen from the South. In addition to statistics and figures the Association has sent to each Senator pamphlets published by that organization which give numerous examples of the barbarity and savagery which so often accompany lynchings. Many reports in these pamphlets of burnings alive at the stake are taken verbatim from from accounts which appeared in the newspapers of the communities in which the burnings took place. This forestalls any contention which might be made that the horrible details given are exaggerat. Wickita's Greatest Women's Danfort THE RE 120 N.
