THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol. 14, No. 24 Massachusetts, Cali- fornia and New York Republican Conventions Urge Passage of Anti- Lynching Bill Massachusetts State Democratic Conven tion Takes Similar Action. Strong resolutions indorsing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and specifically demanding that the United States Senate pass the measure have been recently passed by the State Republican Conventions of Massachusetts, California and NewN York, and by the Massachusetts State Democratic Convention, according to an announcement made here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The action by these states has increased he number of State Republican Conventions that have taken similar action to eight. The other five being Indiana Colorado. Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri. The resolution passed by the Massachusetts State Republican Convention through the efforts of Butler R. Wilson of Boston, not only mentions the Dyer Bill specifically and urges its passage as speedily as possible, but scores bitterly race prejudice and especially disfranchisement. It demands that all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution be secured to the colored people and further declares that the Republican Party in Massa chusetts favors legislation that "..... the laws of the commonwealth, including the civil service," be administered "so that public employment may se open to all citizens impartially." The Massachusetts Democratic State Convention's resolution was strongly warded also, demanding that "both legislation and executive action put a stop at once and for all to the 'is grace of lynch-law. The constitutional guarantee of life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a heritage that should be safeguarded, if necessary with Federal legislation." Mr. Wilson who wrote the plank in the Republican resolution is secretary of the Boston Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and a member of the National Board of Directors of the Association. The action of the California Republican State Convention was secured through the work of E. Burton Ceruti of Los Angeles, who is also a member of the National Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. and attorney for the Northern California Branch of the Association. According to a letter from Mr. Ceruti, the endorsement was included in the platform of the party. The resolution unequivocally demanded that the Republican majority in the Senate pass the Dugan Bill. The resolutions of the New York State Republican Convention indorsing the Anti-Lynching Bill were included in the platform adopted at Albany on September 28 and reads: "We urge the Senate to pass at the earliest possible date the eAnti-Lynching Bill adopted by the House of Representatives at the last session." This resolution was the only specific demand on the Senate made by the New York State Convention. The introduction and passage of the resolution was secured through the activities of Mr. Charles W. Anderson of York and Congressman Ogden L. Mills, who acted at the request of the N. A. A. C. P. St. Mary's Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor, 12th St. and Wabash Avenue Sunday at 9:30 was an interesting second and we congratulate Mr. Washington, our Superintendent and his excelent teachers for their spend- d work. The pastor preacned at eleven o'clock from Palam 62.7. His subject was "Salvation." Prof. J. A. Jackson led an interesting discussion of the B. Y. P. U., lesson, and this discussion was followed by testimonials from the young people LAST TRIBUTE TO OUR FALLEN LEADER. (BY J. A. MARKHAM, TREASURER, STATE B. Y. P. U. CONVENTION, 1172 LANE STREET, TOPEKA, KANSAS. (Special to The Negro Star) As a last tribute to our fallen leader, Dr. Elias Camp Morris, who had the distinction of not only being called, but was really the greatest Religious statement in the world. He was a man who stood strong for his God and for his race. He grasped the reins of this great Baptist family; while its was in its infancy and he has triumphantly and heroically guided her until today its the greatest family of the world. Yet, we have one great consolation, and that is to know that Dr. Morris is not dead; but is simply sleeping in the Arm of Jesus, and at God's own appointed time. He will be awakened from his deep slumber for the past few years and even months, several of our great leaders have fallen and caused us to wonder why? But it is not ours to question the judgements of our Lord. It is only ours to follow leadings of His Word. As they are passing out one by one this thought comes to me: One by one they are passing over to that bright celestial shore. One by one we miss their faces and their voice is heard no more They who once had led our number are now numbered with the dead: And no cry of ours can wake them, from their low and narrow bed. Sleep on in silent slumber, their tired hands have found repose. No more trials and temptations. No more anxious fears and woes. Though it is hard to bear the parting, yet He knoweth what is best; Come, ye weary, heavy laden, unto me: I'll give thee rest. How we miss him in assemblings, and in silence sit and mourn: But again we hope to meet him, when a few more years have flown. Though, we have not crossed the Jordan, that dark river which divides: Yet we seem to catch faint glimpses, of the beauties which it hides. Dr. Morris, yes, we'll meet him, in that city of pure gold: And with ecstasy and rapture, the dean Savior to hehold. Won't it be a joyful meeting, when our wanderings here are o'er: And we'll meet with Morris in heaven, there to meet to part no more. Elect Chester A. Conner For Sheriff. Mr. Chester A Conner, Republican Nominee for Sheriff, is a spendid Christian gentleman and has made a commendable record for himself. Borned in the State of Kansas, he believes in justice to all. He has served as deputy for three year and only recently resigned to become active in his campaign. He was in China during the Chinese Rebellion and served during the World's War as Chief Gunner's Mate U. S. N. for nearly two years, and was in service over seas. With his practical knowledge and experience The Star believe Mr. Connor is the right man to elect for Sheriff. Wm. Picken To Address N. A. A. C. P.

Miss Elsie Smith, Rep. --- WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Oct. 6, 1922 A Republican Senate But The Lynching Bill Did Not Pass. Senators Shortridge and McCormick our Most Determined Statesman. Shall The Local and Foreign Y. M. C. A. Work Survive Or Perish? Max Yergen Must Be Supported or Recalled The on big united effort has been for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill: Of all things before Congress, this measure above all else has had the militant, united, and universal support of Colored Americanpress, pulpit, organizations, and everyday citizens. Upon this measure we have done more than anything else to urge and encourage its passage. Owing to technical maneuvers of Democrats, the bill did not get to a vote on the senate before adjournment, but let's see what has happened. The Dyer bill brought out some most important information. It brought out the fact that the Congressional leadership, so far as Colored Americans are concerned, is more thoroughly crystallized in the House than in the Senate. When the bill was before the House the Republican leaders asserted their determination to outdistance the Democrats, and they went at the task in perfect team play. Congressman Volstead, Mondell, Madden, Burton, Dyer, and a number of others, out pointed the opposition at every turn. When their plays were in jeopardy, they "got their heads together" and won out. In the Senate the situation is different. Under Senator Lodge, the leadership is intelligent and dignified, but certainly not militant. WE Shall Stand By Friends Senator Lodge is for the Dyer bill, told our newspaper men and others so in no uncertain tomes, but he did not back the action on it as did Mr. Mondell on the House side. Senator Shortridge, to whose hands was committed the sacred true of presenting the great indorsement for justice and protection of life, loyal, sincere and true to the cause, was not backed in efforts as was Mr. Volstead. Senator Shortridge, a comparatively new member, was to to have Senator Watson, of Indiana, permitted the strategy of Pat Harrison and Underwood go him one better. Senator Curtis, for example, "Whip the Senate," was complacently present, and is known to be thoroughly interested in the bill, but he was not equal to the Democratic occasion. It is frankly admitted by all careful observers, and these include Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard, James Weldon Johnson and others, that the most aggressive interest in the entire Senate was manifested by Senator McCormick, of Illinois. When the bill is finally passed, as it surely promises to be, aside from the valiant services of Senator Shortridge, of California, Senator McCormick will stand out as the most determined statesmen on the measure. In contrast, for example, take Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey with 60,000 Colored contituents praying for his co-operation, and as a candidate he needing their votes, and yet he did not regard the subject of sufficient importance to be in his seat when the attempt was made to consider. Colored Americans have never been known to do anything other than stand by their friends. There has been this development in recent years, there has been happily developed the knack of true analysis. Colored Citizens Serve On Reception Committee. Senator W. A. Jones of the State of Washington, was the guest of the Republican Meeting at the Forum Tuesday morning. His address was to the point and well taken by the audience. Judge Bird also gave a splendid address. Mrs. Underwood, Rev. J. E. Douglass, B. C. Ranavalona served on the reception committee. The meeting was sponsored by the East District Congressional Committee. Shall The Local and Foreign Y. M. C. A. Work Survive Or Perish? Max Yergen Must Be Supported or Recalled Mr. Homer Grafton and Bishop Brooks Address Y. M. C. A. Mass Meeting at New Hope Baptist Church. The second mass meeting in interest of the local Y. M. C. A., was held last Sunday afternoon at New Hope Baptist Church and the cause of the Y. M. C. A. work was ably discussed by Mr. Homer Grafton, and Bishop W. Sampson Brooks. The speakers speakers spoke of foreign work of the Y. M. C. A., but the work of the local Y. M. C. A., was also kept before the people, for this after all is the prime motive of these meetings. Mr. Grafton, a former Wichita boy, now working in Japan delivered the first address on the subject: "Our Relation to the World Movement," and gave an interesting account of the work that has been done in the foreign fields. Mr. Grafton said: "In Japan especially the Japanese have accepted the Christian religion to the number of 35 thousands and there are one million, adherants of Christian religion. The Y. M. C. A. movement has grown extensively in Japan because they have accepted Christianity. It is practically easy for a missionary to live in Japan, because the Japanese want them. The Y. M. C. A. has made a great progress and native secretaries have been given an opportunity to help spread the work, and the Y. M. C. A. has been responsible for the intermingling of the different nation. "The Y. M. C. A. placed 11 thousand men in positions last year. Should the American secretaries be recalled, it is possible that the Christian influence would be ursured by the social influence and the real value of the world would be lost. Mr. Grafton said: "in Indian had been made National secretary of India and all the American secretaries work under him for being a native and well versed in their language a far greater work can be done in spreading the Y. M. C. A. work." Mr. Grafton said: "An Indian had pines the physical work of the Y. M. C. A., has meant much to these people in the way of social intercourse. During the year they have athletic meets and compete with one another this again give them a chance to more rapidly develop their Y. M. C. A. program on a larger basis. Mr. Frank Brown now in the Philipine, is training the boys and young men for athletic leadership, and Mr. Grafton says there were more volley balls used in the Philippines than in all America. Mr. Grafton further stated that Jesus Christ was democratic in his teaching and was Lord of all and that the Y. M. C. A., was doing a great deal towards spreading democracy and the ideals of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Bishop Brooks was then present to the audience by Mr. Hutcherson. He spoke on the subject: "Our Foreign Program and Our Man at the Front." Bishop Brooks centered his talk on the conditions of Africa and of the utter shame and ignorance in which these poor natives lived. He said: "Just as Japan has hungered for Christian religion and teachings just so the Africans are hungering today. There are 150 million of them waiting for the light and so little has been done for them. The African race is the only race left on God's earth that has not been clothed. The neglect of these people is due to the fact that we have not been properly instructed in our request to give norder that the most primitive people in the world might be led into the light. Urges Y. M. C. of America To Support Yergen. Bishop continued by urging the men of America to support Max Yergen the only colored foreign secretary that we have in the field, in order that he might be able to continue the work among the Africans. He said: "Mr. Yergen is in the work of soulsaving and I know of his hardships and his struggles." Mr. Yergen needs help and I urge Statement of the Owner Management, Circulation, etc. of The Negro Star Known bondholders, mortgages, and other security holders holding 1 per cent or more of total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other securities: There are no such, mortgages or other securities outstanding against it. H. T. SIMS, Business Manager. Sworn to and subscribed before me the 1st day of Oct. 1922. (Seal) DR. N. D. BRILEY, Notary Public The colored people of Wichita have had a second opportunity to receive the message of the Y. M. C.A. from local, state, and foreign exponents and to learn the cause for which the it universally satands. The speakers of last Sunday and the Sunday before have told us plainly and candidly just what is needed in order that we may become a recognized factor, in the great whole of fostering the cause of the Y. M.C.A. We have been told the needs of Max Yergen, our only colored secretary in in the foreign field. We support him by actuality contributing to the Y. M. C. A. campaign or else Mr. Yergen will be recalled from Africa and this will mean shame to the American Negro who can now boast of his millions in wealth. What are these hundreds, thousands, and millions worth if not rightly appropriated for a work that is so vitally essential in the lifting of our weaker brother? Are you not your brother's keeper? And are we not held responsible for them in proportion to the service that we can render? Are we not rewarded according to the work we do? We cannot all be Y. M. C. A., secretaries, but we can all lo our whole duty in perfecting the work of the Y. M. C. A. here in Wichita. Every man can give his support to the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A either finically or morally. Your support and your interest once it be comes contagious will sweep Wichita like wild fire and the work of the Y.M.C.A. will become of interest to the whole of us and the result will be THE ERECTION OF AN ADEQUATE Y.

"Remember, if you will that Mr. Yergen is over there in a country of heathendom, where men live in savage state. Good roads and high ways are unknown to us and we are compelled to walk every foot of the way. Here the speaker referred to Bishop Taylor of New York, who would rather walk 50 miles rather than permit the heathern to become beast of burdens and carry him. The Bishop touches the hearts of all as he painted the most vivid pictures of the pauperism of these vast millions and of the decand of womanhood because of their ignorance and pauperism. One half of the contribution raised at this meeting was given Bishop and the other was for Mr. Yergen. Mr. Hensey and wife of Gary Indiana, arrived in the city last Saturday and expect to locate here Mr. Hensey is a real estate man and is interesting the Negroes in the purchase of city property in Gary, for two reasons first because it is a growing industrial city and second, to stamp out attempted segregation.
