THE NEGRO STAR: FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE OHIO LEGISLA- TURE PLANS MEASURE AGAINST KU KLUX KLAN COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 12 Three bils aimed at the Ku Klux Klan have been introduced in the Ohio Legislature. One bill would require the klan to file with the Secretary of State a list of its officers; another would mass masked or robed persons punishab' by a prison sentence of 1 to 15 years, and the third would make a felony committed by a musked or robed person punishable by death in the electric chair. PLANNING TO MOVE NEW ENGLAND COTTON MILLS SOUTH Preston News Service) PROVIDENCE, R. I., Jan. 12 There is a general movement under way to take the New England cotton mill interest to the southern states. At present the plan is confined to an extension of the branches in the South of Mills that have their principal plants in this section, but there are indications that many new manufacturing units may be added in southern cotton centers, financed by New England capital. It is said that this will save the cost of transportation of raw cotton to this section and then the finished product back South. Advantages in hours of work allowed by law, in wage scales and tax rates and exemptions are given as the principal causes for the movement which made itself manifest for the past two or three years. The Appleton Mills, of Lowell, Mass., and the Jenckes Spinning Company of Pawtucket, R. I., have already announced the transfer of their plants to the southern states. EQUAL RIGHTS BILL PROPOSED IN MICHIGAN. (Preston News Service) LANSING, MICH., Jan. 10-This bill does not deal with the question of race rights, but to give married women equal rights with unmarried women and men in making and enforcing contracts.

The Dyer Anti-Lynch ing Bill Defeat Af... termath. (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 10—Following the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and the attempt to place the blame on somebody and public meeting where different persons had a chance to vent their spleen caused a young writer here to see the whole situation in a rather comic light. He thinks this kind of old time doings abount such a serious matter is ridiculous and that our leaders have acted like a set of animals. He is remided of old-time bed time stories by old mammies and wrote the following under the captions of "FROWING STTONIES", and subscribes himself Uncle Remus, Jr. Brer Rabbit and Miss Rabbit Defeat Brer Fox.

CITY OFFICIALS ARE ACTIVE KLANSMEN, AVERRED. CITY OFFICIALS ARE ACTIVE KLANSMEN, AVERRED. (Preston News Service) MICHIGAN CITY, IND., Jn. 10- Following a demand for his resignation as chief of police Arthur M. Sullivan, Ku Klux Klan charges against Maurice, cty mthager; Arthur Snyder, member of the city commission and David Miller, City Engineer, have been placed before the city commission by the ousted police officer. All three were named as members of the organization in an indavit presented last Thursday by Mr. Sullivan, who demanded reasons for his requested resignation last Monday. "My discharge was caused by the fact that I refused to join the klan," Sullivan said. "The climax came when I refused to permit a parade of masled klansmen through the streets of Michigan City. "Conditions in this city have become almost umbearable for persons not affiliated with the klan. Night Captain Thomas Grant and four other members of the police force have resigned." "You see, it was like this," said Uncle Remus, Jr., to the little boy when we wistfully looked in the door on New Year's morning: "Brer Rabbit's lodge (N. A. A. C. P.), including Brer DuBois in his frens whut Brer Fox sed was estin' canvas back duck and wearin' fine clothes off'en the money whut, Brer Fox en his frens down in Mississippi hez been payin' in order to advance the colored people all over this heah United States, which likewise 'eludes Mississippi', hez bee powerful mad evah since Brer Fox wrote that letter to Mr. White Min up in Delaware. En Brere DuBois Towed that he'd git even with Brere Fox if it took all Winter, enle had to go with out coal. So I reckon Brer Fox didn't know how powerful mad Brere Rabbit's frens wuz, and that that he cu'd say more mean things, an at the same time kinder strengthen hiself all up around You street en over at the Cap'tol; fer all the animals has been mighty mad at Brer Fox evah since he had 'Frowed Stones' at Brere Jimmy Johnson, Brer DuBois an all the other animals in Brer Rbbit's lodge, to say nothin' of Brer Nelson of Wilmington en Brer Vann of Pittsburgh, who is always kinder frenly and who hez sed nice things 'bout Brer Fox. "So Brer Fox 'lowed he wanted to speak to all the animals so make himself self cleash on the Dyer bill in its defeat; but it'd been a heap sight; bettah if he hed sed that he wuz goln' to speak on the Dyer bill en Brer Fox's defeat; for Brer Fox didn't know that Brer Rabbit hed cum all the way frum New York to whun him on that he had broght Miss Rabbit 'long wid him, so that ef he needed eny help, why Miss Rabbit cu'd jump up en lay it on Brere Fox to beat the ban; but you see Brer Fox didn't kuow nothin' 'bout dis. Ef he hed knowed 'bout it he cu'd he brought Brere Bear, (Linz Johnson) 'long wid him to kinder help him out. "So when Sunday afternoon come, Brer Fox, dressed all up in his fines' clothes, en hed his boots all blackened up nice en pritty, en he put on his plug hat and got himself a Pierce Arrow en rode up to the big bilden what he wur to speak; en he walked right up front en jes nacherly threw out his ches' en waited fer to be enterdoed ed to the animal's. Well Sah, Brere Rabbit en Miss Rabbit wuz right thar then, but Brere Fox didn't even look 'round to see, but jest waited until his name wuz called in a lound voice; en then, after makin' sich a big bow that he most nigh broke, a seam in his swallo' tail coat, Brer Fox he lit right enter the Dyer bill en Brere Rabbit's lodge,enhe ripped themup and down until two big tears rolled down Miss Rabbit's cheeks en fell on the floor with a splash. Well sah, Brer Fox jes carried on ser awhile, en they tol ARE YOU AWARE? That this is time for new resolutions? Folks generally resolve during the first few days of a new year. This is especially true of the class of people who do nothing particular thru out the year and finally get ashamed of their lethargic attitudes toward advancement and constructiveness. It is perfectly in order to make resolutions if one is capable of thinking thru the matter before resolving and has a conscientious desire to live up to them in proper spirit. It is also in order that as the New Year comes in, we should have or formulate a new and additionally stivancing program of work for ourselves and those who look to us for guidance. That Prof. Grly was very pleasantly surprised a few days ago when he received the intelligence that Mr. F. F. Flake is also a "Trot" of his distinction? It is true that when persons of the same school or fraternity meet out in the world that their care for each other becomes somewhat intense, but I shouldn't suppose that this case will have anything to do with Miss Wilson's program. That Miss HFL of L'Ouverture has proved to be a pretty good adopt. She prepared to to attend high school work, but there being no opening in that line circumstances filtered the case, hence, she is apparently doing good work with the much less mature 3rd-grades. That according to promise, we shall make at least one statement relative to the solution of the so-termed race-problem? We will admit first that there is an estrangement, an incompatability of ideas, a misunderstanding existent in the two races (colored and white) and these files can only be cured by scientific diagnosis to ascertain the causes of this feeling toward each other, and the proper interpretation of our better selves to each other. A good physician will thoroly examine a patient before prescribing. There is a remedy for the existing inter-rtcial Fls, but first the cause of them must be found and then the soluton on the prescription given which if carefully compounded and prepared will do the work and have a telling effect. So the main statement we have to make at this time to leave you thinking until we make the real presentation of the solution follows. Th's great and momentous question will never be settled by the present methods of biting, bickering and batting as employed by our present day representatives. God has a plan and a time for the suppressing of the imperialistic forces and atrocious actions which so completely disarrange his plans of one certain race's happiness. You can't make a dog love you by everlastingly cuffing and scourging him about. You must do some things he likes to see and hear you do. Then he will become attached to you and will go the limit for your protection. If by this attentment anyone starts thinking so well and good. We shall feel compensated for the feeble effort of propagating this line of thought. me that Brer Possum who wuz also tiar en who saw Brere Rabbit anl Miss Rabbit back among the animal's, trial to wink at Brer Fox to kinder put on the sof' pedal; but sah, Brer Fox went right on. "Well Sah, when Brer Rabbit saw Miss Rabbit crying he got powerful mad, en he knowed he had so many frens thar that Brer Fox dassent do anythin' to him can they wuz kinder mad at Brer Fox themselves. Well Sah, Brer Rabbit ris right up from whar he wuz settin' en he lit right into Brer Fox en what he had sed, "Twus arful the way that Brer Ragbit piled it onto Frer Fox. "You know Brer Rabbit useter be up to Yele en beat all the white animals up thar in debatin' and talkin.' Well, Brer Rabbit lay it on Brer Fox so hard that Brere Fox wuz glad to set down. En the other animals seemed to kinder be with Brer Rabbit. Tremenduous Start For Big Record In 1923 (Preston News Service) PITTSBURG, PA., Jan. 11—To a close observer of the trend of events it would seem that following the report from Turkegee that there were only 57 persons lynched in the United States during 1922 that hoodlums of the South plan to eclipse that record for the month of January. During the week the newspapers of the country carried the report of the lynchings record for 1922 more than a dozen lynchings and riots occurred in various parts of the South. From all indications this outbreak of lawlessness in all parts of the South indicates that the white people that is the white trash—are determined to strike terror into the hearts of the Negro. Whether these manifestations of lawlessness are the activities of the Ku Klux Klan remains to be seen, but in view of the fact that such an organization exists gives ample excuse for these unwanton acts to be perpetrated upon Negroes. The Taukeegee report shows that of the attempted lynchings in Northern States there were fourteen in all and everyone was prevented, thus leaving the North as clear Slate for 1928. The South, however, has to its credit 44 successful efforts to prevent lynchings. Commenting on the situation a few days before the close of the year, Mr. Nunn, City Editor of The Pittsburgh Courier, said, "There is good reason to hope that 1923 will show a very decided improvement on the 1922 record. The attempted passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, and the circumstances of its defect, have put the elements of white people in the South on their mettle in this matter, and I am glad to note the vigorous effort white editors all over the South are making to arouse public sentiment against lynching to ultimately make it impossible for a lynching bee to be pulled off." The record for the first week in January shows: Samuel Carter killed by mob in Bronson, Fla., for allying a Negro to escape a mob, it is alleged; Benjamin Webater lynched in Hattiesburg, Miss., by a mob of 25 masked men. Webster is said to have been implicated in the murder of a white contractor; Serious race riots in Gapups, Okla.; Sam. Leget lynched in Shreveport, La., allege to have been associating with white women; according to press reports 18 Negross have been slain in race riots in Rosewood, Fla.; another Negro was lynched in South Carolina the first of last week. The above is not to be regarded as a full and complete list of atrocities committed against Negroes throughout the country during the first week of 1923, but is simply a list from casual observation of the news items as they appeared in local daily papers during the week. It would seem that conditions are decidedly worse. Something is wrong with the conscience of the lower strata of southern white trash. It may be possible that are long strong, stalwart, upstanding white men and women of the South will come out more determinedly in the future and stamp out hits scourge of lawlessness. "Well, that even wasn't 'nuf, fes jeas as soon as Brere RRabbit set down Miss Rabbit who had jest stopped cryin' en got es mad es a hornet, she riz right up en stung Frer Fox even harder than Brer Rabbit did. Oh, 'wes scanlus what they done to Brer Fox, en I wunder what Brer Fox will do to kinder git himself right with all the animals who is powerful hard agin him llist now. "Well Sah, they tell me that Brer Rabbit jes stuck out his ches' en ten a Puliman back to New York, en the he en Brer DuBols en the whole lee had a whole canvas back duk as fer New Year's dinner. They tell that Brer Fox arted kinder funny dity New Years, kinder like he shell-shocked, er had the almost silkness." Chanute Notes. L.

The second party was given at the home of Mrs. Goberry, North Central St. There were served many dainty things at this party; nine ladies were present.

The 2nd verse of the 10th chapter of St. Luke was the text of Sunday morning's discourse: "Therefore said He unto them; The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He would send forth laborers into His vineyard." Pastor Williams was very thorough in his deliverance. The text was explained under three distinct outlines: First, The Harvest, Second, The Labourers, and Third, Prayer to God for Labourers. An earnest appeal for real conscientious labourers in the vineyard of Christ was made. The evening service was spent in testimonials, and the Lord's Supper was administered to a goodly number. Beginning Sunday morning services will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday School at 12 o'clock. Brother Howard Browner, the newly elected superintendent of the S. School is a progressive, energetic young man, and with the co-operation of the Christian forces, expects to make St. John's Sunday School second to none in the State.

TALBERT On Work of Ant.-Lynching Crusaders Culminating in a night mass meeting in the town hall, New York City, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held its Annual Meeting on January 2, 1925. In the election, a new member was audited to the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors, Mr. Hercert K. Stockton on the law firm of Haight, Smith, Grinnan and Deming, whose brief on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was instrumental in procuring a favorable report on the measure by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. branch emorts against segregation in schools in Philadelphia, Boston and elsewhere, and the night against the Ku Klux Klan and the "Birth of a nation" film were recited by delegates from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, at the afternoon meeting in the Russel Sage Foundation Building. At the night mass meeting the speckers were Mrs. Mary B. Talcert, Spingarn Medalist for 1922 and leader of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise; Dan Kelly, a white Texan, who was sent to Kirvin, Texas, by the N. A. A. C. P. to investigate the burning to death of three Negroes; and James Weldon Johnson, who reported on the fight for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and asserted a renewed fight for its enactment would be carried on. Rabbi W se in the course of his address, uttered a stinging rebuke and challenge to the Ku Klux Klan, and characterized as discreditable to the American people, the failure of the Senate to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. "I was warned against coming to this meeting," said Rabbi Wjse. "I may say to you that I am indifferent to what any member of the Ku Klux Klan may say about me or about my people. Their hatred is my honor; their dispraise of my people is its coronation." Rabbi Wise closed his address with an impassioned appeal that colored man as well as white, continue undaunted the fight against oppression. He said: "I come to you tonight as a Jew and a Jewish teacher because I know as few men have had cause to know how injustice hurts, how it galls and how long continued oppression may degrade. I know—without uttering a word of bitterness or of hatred, for I feel none against my oppressors and my people's oppressors—my chief business in life is to move my people to stand erect, to lift their voices to the skies and to know that no matter what the world without my do to them they must keep their souls undefiled.

At 11:00 o'clock the pastor chose for a text, Joshua 24:15; words: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Subject; "New Year's Resolutions." One added to the Church. The B. Y. P.

At the close of the sermon 9 came forward for membership; one candidate for baptism. Our day's service was one to be remembered by all who attended our service.

The supply teachers elected for S. S., were James Douglass, Jr., and Mrs. J. D. Wilson. St. Paul Notes. With the spiritual and financial interest of its members aroused to do greater work for the Master during the New Year, the pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope, together with the officers and auxillaries getting in splendid shape to make the year 1923 the banner year of the church's history. The memorable events of the holidays—Christmas and New Year—the ready response to the budget system and the addition of new members and classes in the church and Sunday are evidences of great activity which bespeak bright prospects for the future. Rev. Pope returned from Denver, Saturday, where he had been called to attend the funeral of his daughter Mrs. Jansie Pope Fairbanks, a popular young woman of the Y. W. C. A. AMONG THE CHURCHES of that city. Rev., and Mrs. Pope were the recipients of deep sympathy from their many friends in Colorado, and Kansas. At the morning service the pastor spoke on the subject of "A Memorial" text: "Th's do in Remembrance of Me." Luke 22:19; which was appropriate to the occasion—it being communion Sunday. In the evening he delivered an eloquent discourse on the subject of Christ healing on the Sabbath. There were eight additions during the day for which the church felt proud. Calvary Baptist Church Sunday was known as "Home Coming" at Calvary, a time when everybody who is in active membership was to come and worship. Many were in attendance at both morning and evening services. The program of the church for the ensuing year has been made out partially as, at least, and has been submitted to the church. Many progressive projects were included, some of which are already being carried out. Reports of anays in all auxiliaries of the church have been made to the church proper and approved by the same. Reports show a well-spent year and a year of many, many activities and much real works and good fruitful results from the same. Our pastor, Dr. Hayes, has spent his first year with us. He has been very busy the whole while and it has indeed been an eventful year for him. While coming from another field to us, directly, he has not stopped for a vacation, not even an anniversary has been he'd for him. He understands the people better and his people uderstasd him better which is to love him better. Some strong Christian ties have been made during his short stay here. His people know him as a Christian Gospel Minister who is prepared and has great capacity and ability for service as a pastor. The young people and society estimate their presence in this community an invaluable asset. The church is praying for him, even greater success. Sunday he preached an able sermon on the covenant. A very profound message; it was rich in thought, doctrine and truth. (Continued from page two.) Rabbi Stephens Wise Defies K. K.

To you I speak the word of Isaiah to my people,"Fear thou not, my servant; fear thou not, my servant." "There shall be a min'mum of justice and liberty laid at your door, and on the other hand those American who, like you and me, love our country, who believe that America and even-handed justice must be interchangeble terms—we stand with you we will support you, we will fight with you, lawfully in the American way, not in the lawless way of the lyncher; we will fight with you as men and women until this shame shall have been ended, until lynching shall forever have passed from the vocabulary and the life of the American people. "And you, sons and daughters of the Negro race, will render a great service, a supreme, to your and my America if instead of bowing your backs beneath the yoke of this soul and flendish oppression, you say to America; "We are men; we mean to live as men. Our wrongdoers shall be punished and utterly punished under by the processess of the law; but lynching shall not be the portion of any man, white or black, who liver under the American skies."
