Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Group Meeting Discusses Problem Of Race Relationship. Mr. Wm. Pickens' visit to Wichita was of immense value to the mem- nals of the N. A. A. C. P., and the taking people of both races who are eply interested in the great pro-blem of inter-relationship. On Monday evening Mr. Pickens dressed a Mass Meeting at the Ivary Baptist Church to a mixed liege. Ir. Pickens centered his thought's three differe t phases of the in- facial question, namely: The ecce t passage of the anti-lynching b all have on the whole country. Secd. extradition of the Negro and find the abuse entered by the Negro race by the white press, rucking car the fact that crime is a crime lover commits it be the criminal kite or black. The press should not glitznatize the whole race for the art of one criminal or supposed criminal. Mr. Pickens said that whatever the outcome of the anti-lynching bill it would affect the white races as well as the black for the reason "it was crime to lynch a Negro, it certainly would be a crime to lynch a white man." He believes that a step towards advancement and higher form of civilization for one race will mean adjustment for the other. Digest. crime, ignore and poverty all have their primary inception in ignorance and the only way to teach the highest state of civilization is for both races to work unitily for the betterment of all concerned. Camities come with out our solicitation but all good is purchased by efforts and sacrifices. Mr. Dickens has his own piccadaway of teaching his audience and very often clothes the truth who wishes you to remember in a joke or a joke and for this reason he as an crater is in a class by himself. Studerts Responsive To Mr. Dickens The students of Friend's and Fairmount University were very responsive to Mr. Pickens Tuesday morning when he address them. Being a former Dean of three different collge and a graduate of Yale, he felt much at home with the student. Many of the students took notes and frequently applauded him. A special meeting was held by the committee on Council of Social Agre- mies was held at 4:30 p.m. Mr. Pickens advanced point new ideas that will assist in working out this inter-racial problem and give both race an opportunity to better understand how to best get results. Dr. Ross W. Sanderson and Mr. Black the executive secretary of the. Y. M. C. A. showed a keen interest in Mr. Pickens as well as the principles, who made the colored committee. Much good is expected to come from this parti- cular group meeting. A Get-Together Meeting At St Paul A get together meeting sponsored by Mr. W. L. Hut-herson took place at six o'clock in the dining room of St. Paul at this time Mr. Pickens told the committee of the N. A. A. C. P. how to make the branch work most effective and of the many thing that were possible to accomplish by united efforts and regular meetings. Twenty members of the association were present at this meeting and a three course dinner was served. Seated at the table with Mr. Pickens were Rev. J. K. Ransom, Editor Bettis and Atty, J. A. Spears, president and secretary of the local N. A. A. C. P. JOHN M. BURTON With this approach of the ea. the Negro must look with interest and chose with deliberation and sound judgment the man best fitted for the task so vitally essential to the 12 million American Negro numbers, Deer Anti-lying bill. A failure to elect Mr. Richard E. Bird on the seat of November will mean to every Negro voter a betrayal to a true and trial friend. It will mean that, all that Mr. Pud together with other Republican Congressmen, who fought nobly for the passage of the Anti-Lynding Bl were not deemed worthy of our continued confidence. It will mean a chance for the bill to be lost at the hands of the democrats, and this will mean continued ynching, mobbing and lawlessness that has mocked the government, and A Million Women United To Suppress Lynching. By The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK City, Oct. 13—At the Spring Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Coated People in Newark, N. J., Congressman Dyers, author of the famous Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill, said that if one million Colored people got together and decided lynching must go, it would go. Sixteen Colored women from five states immediately formed themselves into a Committee of Anti-Lynching Crusaders and decided to put to end lynching and mob violence. This Committee went into permanent organization on July 8. By unanimous vote, Mrs. Mary D. Talbert was electe National Director of the Crusade with headquarters at 521 Michigan Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. This promises to be the biggest and swiftest movement ever undertaken by Colored women. The women of the race have always stood by the men in the hour of need. The hour has come when their help is need- choreographed grace, life and property. A solid vote for Mr. Bird on election day is our greatest weapon for defense and a failure to elect him will be the greatest indication that we want to continue lynching and do not want it abolished. Thus proving to our truest and tried friends that we are enemies to ourselves and traitors to our friends. The greatest issue that can ever concern the American Negro is the Oyer Anti-Lynching Bill and we owe it to our children of unborn generations to give our united support to men who will remain true to our truest and in Mr. Bird we have found such a man. His integrity goes unquestioned and our confidence in him, remains unshaken for the passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill. ed and they should stand firmly together to sweep away this evil which is not on y an injustice that falls most heavily upon the Negro, but which makes our Nation a by-word of scorn. An added reason is the fact that with in the past thirty years eighty-three women have been lynched. The movement is well under way. In addition to the Election if Mrs. Mry B. Tallert as National Director, Mrs. Helen Curtis of N. Y., has been chosen as First National Vice-Director, Mrs. Butler R. Wilson, of Boston, as Second National Vice-Director, Mrs. Lillian Alexander, of N. Y. as Secretary and Miss Mary I. Jackson of 551 Willard Avenue, Providence, R. I., as National Organizer, Committees on Publicity, Program, Finance, and Campaign Literature have been formed. Mrs. Talbert announces that Forty Prominent Colored women in as many states have accepted the duty of State Directors, and that Fifteen hundred women all over the country have volunteered to act as Key Women. It is intended that this movement should include all who are interested in Law and Order and Justice. Already a number of individual whites He has not only expressed himself as keenly favourable to the bill, but has actually demonstrated to us in act and in deed that he was pure of purpose and that he had the undoubted courage to bolly face our enemies, to justice, to life and to trust American ideals and give his support to the Bill. We feel assured that from the loyalty of Mr. Bad in the past he will stand out prominently for justice and for right. This is the confidence that The Negro Star has in Congressman Lard and has confidence in the Negro voters to believe they are too loyal and too self-respecting to forget their friends. May the conscience of every voter direct him rightly and may we urge you to support solidly Hon. Richard F. Bird for Congressman of the 8th District. women of influence have joined the movement, and it is the intention to secure the cooperation of all the powerful organization among white women in the country. The actual carrying out of the plan began Sunday, October First, with a Sunrise Prayer Meeting in the Church throughout the Country as it is felt that this Campaign should be begun by invoking the blessing and help of God upon it. The practical object of the movement is to raise One Million Dollars given by a Million women through sacrifice and self-denial and to serve as a fund to be used to stamp out Lynchang and for Destroy of the Negro in his fundamental rights, as an American citizen. Arrangements are being made to have the Guaranty Trust Company of N. Y., act as the Depository for the Fund. The SI'DGAN is "A MILLION WOMEN UNITED TO SUPPRESS LYNCHING." ST. PAUL GREETS. BISHOP BROOKS WITH A GIFT OF $432 FOR FOR- EIGN MISSION. Audience Moved To Tears by The Pathetic Story of Dark Africa. Rev. J. R. Ransom Conducts the Services. The beginning of the year's work at St. Paul A. M. L. Church was a record breather and a total of $432 40 was given Bishop W. Sampson Brooks for dark Africa, last Sunday morning. Dr. Brooks, former pastor of St. Paul now presiding Bishop of the sixteenth Episcopal District was greeted by a packed audience and members of the various churches of the city greeted the bishop with the same zea ousness as did the members of St. Paul. The great love of the bishop for the church was manifested by the bishop himself who deserved the pulpit and shook the hand of many of his former members and friends. During this time sweet strains of music came peaking forth from the greet pipe organ and the choir sang several numbers at the request of Bishop Brooks. The Bishop was introduced to the congregation by Rev. J. R. Ransom, former pastor of the church and who has recently been assigned to Topcka Kan. In accord to the usual custom of the bishop he invoked God's blessing upon the congregation and the services. During the sermon men and women moved to tears as Bishop told he sad story of a heathen people. The recital of which not only affected the audience but the speaker was also deepy affected as he spoke and tears fell from his cheeks. The Bishop began by saying: "The question of the natives, have you seen our mother in America? Was a pitiful one, and when an explanation of the natives was made they were referring to the foreparents who were snatched from them and brought to this country and made slaves. 120 million of these people are there hungering for the message of Jesus." "You can not all go to Africa, nor is it expected of you, you have no right to go unless you could be of ren service for every star in the American flag was purchased by the blood of your mothers and fathers, then why should you go?" "Often have I fallen on my face and wept for the shame of the womanhood of Africa. No body has had the fight the colored woman has had. I have never kicked on them for they have been stripped of every honor. I say to you women stay on your feet and you will some dry give to the world a legacy as bright as the silver moon, and just as you have been lifted up to speak the women of Africa be lifted up." "I wish I had a thousand tongues to tell you about Africa. Mrs. Brooks is there now battling and working hard with them. The Bishop gave the audience a vivid picture of the heathen woman and her offsprings, the crude an unenlightened way in which she cares for them, and nurtures them. "Often have I slept out under the canopy of heaven with my Bible under my head and asked God to take care of me." Never did I think I would have the opportunity to go to Africa, but God focusing me. I am willing to do the will of the Master and will pick no job. I will take what the others do not want. I am now laboring in the hardest territory in all Africa. "I wrote to America and pleaded for books. I could have used the leaf of a Bible. I have cut down trees and made them into boards for my school. (Continued on next page.)

Stokes, the pastor, his congregation and entire citizenship threw open their beautiful new church, homes and city to the messengers of this great Convention and such hospitality has never been surpassed no where this body has convened in the past. The meeting place of the Convention this year was held in one of Kansas' newest and most complete churches, which amply held the crowd attending. The Convention opened with the formal opening by the President, Mrs. Emma Galnes, who has very ably led this great body of women for a number of years. Next was the Bible hour conducted by Mrs. J. W. Hayes, which brought out many new thoughts and many clear vision on long misunderstood questions. Next responses of welcome: on behalf of the District, Vice President, Mrs. A. M. Keel of Caldwell. On behalf of Local Missionary Society by Mrs. N. J. Stokes. Response by Mrs. Carrie Davidson of Emporia. The Introductory Sermen was preached by the Rev. J. L.

The Republican Committee, which is the real representative of the people, who support; is fair and square in the game from every angle. They want to be known as the laboring man's friend and they have put over deal that was to ignore them, but they have friends in every walk of life and are broad enough to give any human a chance. We ask and insist that every Negro vote for every candidate on the Republican Ticket, this al to you. They have divided, work, and be loyal to the ones, who are loyal to you. They have divided work, position and honors, and ask that you remember them on November 4. Your vote counts, but talk will ruin you. Vote for your friends—THE RE PUBLICANS. (By The Associated Negro Press) JACKSON, TENN., Oct. 13—Special Corrtspondence to A. N. P. Walter Nichols, colored, was convicted by a jury in criminal court here Saturday night of murder in the second degree in connection with the murder of Wilburn McCathey, whose widow was convicted last Friday of first degree murder with mitigating circumstances. The state alleged that Nichols entered into a conspiracy with the wife of the murdered man to put him out of the way. Nichols was ably defended by former Attorney-General Hugh Anderson, and the delay in the report from the jury led many to predict a mistrial. Trained Journalist For Negro Press. A GOOD EXAMPLE. (By The Associated Negro Press) Journalism for the Negro has passed the pioneer stage and is an established institution. With the graduation of trained journalists from the colleges and universities newspaper making among the colored people is assured a great future. In the graduating class of eleven hundred at Ohio State University this year, there was one colored girl. Miss Bernice N. Copeland of Winchester, Indiana, who received a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism, the first to be so honored in the United States. The branches of study which are required for this degree includes a two years cultural course in the college of arts, philosophy and science and two years in the journalism department where the major work is done in news, headline, and editorial writing, history, ethics, and law of journalism; advertising; and the mechanics of newspaper making. Service to the public is the main purpose of the newspaper and as a graduate journalist, Miss Copeland is prepared and ready to go wherever she may render the greatest service. Bishop Brooks. White Friends Gave $10,000 For Bottles "Five weeks ago my prayers were answered. My white friends heard of my struggle and gave me $10,000 for books, and my own peop.e have given me $27,000." Bishop Erects School For Girls. Bishop Brooks has erected a college and an Industrial Training School for girls in Monrovia, Liberia. The material for the building was purchased in Europe. He told the story of one African girl who walked nine miles with a bag of rice for her tuition in order that she might enter the sdhool. She is nineteen years old and is now making garments and learning to trim hts and in her untrained way tries to sing and tell the story of the Christian religion. Bishop Congratulates Calvary. Bishop Brooks not only was glad to see the progress of the church he had once pastored but paid fitting tribute to Calvary Baptist for the beautiful edice they had erected. He also told how the Baptist had supported him and of one Baptist woman, who gave him two lots to be sold for the cause of Africans, after the church had given $100. He held in his hand trophies from people of various cities who had given their precious jewels to this great cause. In St. Joseph, Mo., little children came singing and laid on the altar, War Saving Stamps, while still another girl, of Iowa, who was paralyzed gave thanks-offering to Africa, because she was heaed of her afflictions. The Bishop will sail for Africa November 30th, and will take with him a number of young men and their wives among those going are Caswell Crews, a young author and educator, the nephew of Mr. Nelson Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun.

It will say nothing against any department of the Negro Press; Negro Field of Commercial or Industrial Enterprise nor will it attempt to work detrimental to the program of recognized racial leaders who are battling for the race. It will sacrifice all; rather than recognize or advocate the endorsement of faulty leadership in the School, Political Field or Church. THE Democratic Party can show no record of constructive legislation in the interest of the Negro. It can point to no leader of the party who has ever advanced a proposition that would ultimately tend to promote the success of the Negro along all lines of honest endeavor. In its legislative history it can show nothing but a majority and minority vote in favor of all laws to hamper the social, commercial and industrial progress of the Negro. Dem. Legislature of the South have it now within their power to abolish all Jim Crow Laws; Enact measures that will give the Negro a FAIR JURY TRIAL and assure to his posterity an equal opportunity in the educational and industrial spheres of the South. Democratic INFLUENCES out of the South has arrested the enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Two Thirds of the Klu Klux Klan propaganda had its origin within the hearts of forces absolutely loyal to the Democratic Party and pledged to promote its successes. Under a Democratic Administration Negroes were held from attaining to the high military rank due the race during the World War. Under a Democratic Administration Negro Regiments were ordered to do THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK; yet struggled on and won. Democratic Forces with a record ever against the advancement of the race yet as a siren would bid the Negro rush into its arms and a doubtful future political arena which never has rung with the victor's cry of those who went forth to battle for principles that would accomplish anything for the general collective welfare of the race. The follies of the Wilson Administration in non-essential expenditures increased the tax burden of Negro property owners over 49 per cent on the dollar and arrested the financial progress of the race for over half a decade. Democratic Legislatures have been responsible for every election law that has deprived Negroes of the right to vote. The continued progress of the race does not dictate that the government problems of the ages being trusted to a party that has no constructive program to lower present taxation; solve existing industrial problem; handle foreign immigration and similar problems that directly or indirectly touch the success of the race. A review of the percent of Negroes who successfully pass Civil Service Examinations in localities where the Republican Party is in control as against the number of civil service appointments that go to the race in democratic centers show that the trend of the Democratic Party is to hamper the progress of Negroes securing government employment. Politics is not a game of chance rather it is one of the most intricated of many sciences that has come down thru the agas dealing with the greatest good for the greater number and not the personal benefit of the few. It requires sober, analytic study of causes and effects which have produced certain racial rises and falls in the annuals of established civil government, and then applying such knowledge in promoting the steady progress of the Negro Race. Continued in next issue. Henry Lincoln Johnson Sheds No Tears Over The Death of Tom Watson. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18—The death of Tom Watson, of Georgia, who through the evil manipulations of Southern politics was permitted to pre-fix "Senator" to his name, marks the passing of another of that thin army of fire-brands, who rose to the spotlight of infamy by creating race hatred and strife. Watson, like Vardaman and Blease both recently consigned to political oblivion by the balots of a new generation; and like Tillman of pitchfork infamy, now gone to his long "unwept, unhonored, and unsung" home, and Heiflin; and John Sharp Williams, the remaining ancient exhibits of "Wild Man of Borneo," methods in politics, racked their unenvied places in public life by standing on the bleaching bones of dead Negroes, who lost their lives by the torch and rope victims of the hell-like injustice. Henry Linco.n-Johnson, Republican National Committeeman of Georgia, who more than any other individual Negro, threw Watson into convulsions of hate, was seen by a representative of the Associated Negro Press, immediately after the announcement of Watson's death. Was the cultured attorney and Georgia Colonel battled in tears and regret? Not that a closely observing scribe could notice. The eloquent dark skinned son of Georgia heaved a long sigh of relief, in which there was, however, no note of dismay. Colonel Johnson then grew reminicient, told how in campaigns long gone by, he had paid his respects to Watson and his kind in audible terms that could not possibly be misunderstood. He told, also, of how in various legal encounters, he had locked horns with Watson, or those who represented him, and turned their efforts into capital for jokesmiths. The Democratic party of the South has bees weighted down for many yrs. with just such ill-smelling timber as the deceased Georgian; and it is predicted by those who claim to know a thing or two that the South will never be a section anyway approaching a state of righteousness, until all of the fire eaters are dead and eternally consigned to the regions where the supply of fire material will never be lacking. Awarded For Efficient Service. We rejoice with the many thinkers of the race to know, first that we have a REPORTER of the FIRST CLASS on one of the BIGGEST DAILIES in the Middle West.

In spite of the many knocks and the heavy weights of the self-important leaders of the race, he is moving on up. After all, he is struggling to over come evil with good and he is anselfish in his efforts. Let us re-voice to know that he has ability and he is making new places for his race. He is proving that a Negro can stand on his merits. If you are not able to follow his vision, help him put them in action,—may be, he will get the whole ract on the scale of merit. No selfish man can do this, it does not make any difference how good he is. --- Great Men's Meeting was enjoyed on last Sunday in St. Paul's Church, when Mr. Webster of India, spoke on the work of the International Convention.

Mr. Wickersham contended the general naturalization act of 1906 imposed no bar upon naturalization of aliens because of race or color. He insisted that the construction to be given the provision "free white persons" was that it included all who were not "back." Solicitor General Beck and Attorney General Thompson insisted exclusion of Asiatics had been the historical policy of the government since 1750. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 13 The state of California, through Attorney General Webb, last Thursday, filed in the Supreme Court a brief in the Japanese naturalization cases, in which arguments were concluded yesterday. It supports the contention that Japanese are not of the Caucasian race and therefore tre excluded from citizenship by the statutory provision restricting naturalization to aliens who are "free white person" or if African descent.

Secretary Addresses Nashville Law Enforcement Conference Compares Lynching Horrors To Turkish Atrocities Declaring that Turkish atrocities were no worse than excesses committed by the lynching mobs in America, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, addressed the Law Enforcement Conference, being held October 3rd to 6th, under the auspices of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Phobic Mora of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Nashville, Tenn. "In horror there is nothing to choose between the worst excesses attributed to the Turk and the torture of the victims of lynching mobs in America." Said Mr. Johnson. "Have not 83 women been lynched in the Christian United States between the years 1889 and 1921? Have not 3-436 known lynchings taken place in our country from 1889 to January 1, 1922? And what is the alleged excuse for the horrors? It is that the Negro is a rapist. Certainly that charge is not justified against the 83 women who were murdered by mobs. Of the 3,436 known lynching to which I have referred, only 570 or 16-10 per cent were even attributed to the crime of rape, and it should be borne in mind that accusing a man of rape is far from establishing his guilt. I have with, me figures showing that in one year, in one of the five counties comprising greater New York more white persons, were indicted for rape in the first degree than there were Negroes accused of it and lynched for it throut out the United States in a five-year period including that year. The year is 1917 in which 37 white persons were indicted for rape in the first degree in New York county. In the five-year period 1914-1918, only 28 Negroes out of 28 lynched were accursed of rape, and the figures are exclusive of the deaths in the East St. Louis riot of 1917. "It is very urgent the hands of the church as a moulder of public opinion to correct the malicious slander which gives rise to the abominable crimes of mob murder that my our protests about Turkish atr seem the veriest hypocrisy."
