Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.41 SOUTH ALARMED OVER MIGRATION OF NEGRO. MEMPHIS, TENN., Feb. 2-At a meeting of the Memphis Cotton Exchange here last Thursday afternoon a resolution was passed urging the Tennessee delegation in Congress to seek modification of the immigration laws to permit entrance into the United States of desirable foreign labor. It is said that this action was taken because of the pronounced labor shortage in southern states. The members of the exchange are endeavoring to devise ways and means to cultivate this year's cotton crop. It is claimed that northern and eastern manufactures are making a tremendous inroad on the supply of southern labor by offering more attractive wages and spreading propaganda among Negroes to the effect that living conditions are better in the North, pointing out supposed educational advantages, ranchise, and freedom from mob violence. This propaganda is causing millions of Negroes in all parts of the South to migrate to the North. One speaker said, "It is true that Negroes are going North by the wholesale just now. I think their of the Ku Klux Klan has much to do with it. Most of them do not know that this disgraceful organization exists in the North as well as in the South. Then the frequent lynchings strike terror to the hearts of the colored people, making them seek a fancied refuge in northern sections. I believe if the manufacturers and leading citizens of the South take a more active step to convince the Negro that the southern white man is his best friend afterall, they will soon ignore the call of the northern manufacturer. We must do something to stop this disgraceful curse of lynching." Woman Assaulted; Negro Accused; All Negroes Ordered To Leave BLANFORD, IND., Feb. 2. Because a young white women was assaulted and a Negro was suspected of the crime, a number of white men got together and posted notices that all Negroes leave Blanford immediately. Blanford is a small mining town. Feeling was running pretty high and most of the unmarried Negro men left the town last Sunday night. Several married men remained until Monday, the situation did not seem to clear and they accordingly left. It is said that the real cause of the unpleasant feeling between the races here is not due to the recent incident, but dates back to a time when a Negro was promoted to supplant a straw boss in the mine. It is claimed that the trouble is a labor trouble. Mine operators, it is said, stated to-day that they would not hire any more Negros as there was a general tendency on the part of white miners to dislike the Negro workers. One operator is quoted as saying that if it were possible to man an entire mine of Negros he would much prefer them to the white men as they were better workers. Governor McCray Orders Investigation Governor McCray has issued instructions to the sheriff and prosecuting attorney of Vermillon County that the rights of all law abiding citizens in the community be protected. that all Negroes are to be driven from the mining section. These have caused state officials to take precautionary measures to protect the Negroes of the section. No disturbances thus far in the county have been reported to the Governor's office. The governor directed Capt. H. A. Collins to proceed to Blanford, at once and make investigation of the WHITE BANDITS ROB RAILWAY MESSENGER $45 WATCH. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Feb. 2. Two white men held up Everett Lehert, aged 17 years, last Thursday night on South street West of Delaware street and robbed him of his watch valued at $45 and about $5.00 in change. Lehert, who is messenger for the Indianapolis Union Railways company, told the police he was on his way from the Union station to the Big Four freight office to deliver a message. When he wriked under the elevated railroad tracks one of the men jumped in front of him and covered him with a revolver. The other man searched his pockets. White Man Gets One Year In Pen For Killing Negro. NORFOLK, VA., Feb. 2—William Thomas, street car conductor, who was convicted by a jury of second degree murder for the death of Frank Walker, a Negro, was sentenced to one year in the state penitentiary. The trial was the second for Thomas. He was tried last December and the result was a hung jury. The jury was out nearly an hour in the second trial before a verdict was reached. According to the testimony brought out during the trial, on October 18 last, Walker and Thomas, the conductor, got into a dispute in a trolley car in Hallam avenue. Both men clinched and Thomas seemed to be getting the better of Walker in the fight, Walker is said to have drawn a knife and alleged to have swung it at Thomas. Thomas then drew a revolver and shot Walker three times. One bullet lodged in Walker's lungs, resulting in his death a few minutes later. TAKE NGTICE! 714 Kliowa St., Leavenworth, Kans.

Kansas Industrial and Educational InstDute and the Central Baptist WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Feb. 2, 1922. Senator Capper, Of Kansas, Introduces Marriage Bill. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1—A new national marriage and divorce law, with enacting resolution proposing a constitutional amendment was introduced in the senate last Thursday by Senator Capper, of Kansas. The bill seeks to make marriage and divorce more difficult. This would prevent many hasty and foolish marriages as well as lessen the number of divorce cases throughout the country. Among some of the things to bar hasty marriages the bill proposes application for licenses must be made two weeks before issuance of the license, both parties must also submit health certificates. The bill would prevent the marriage of feeble-minded; of whites and blacks; of Mongolians and whites; and those afflicted with communicable diseases. 26-22d St S. E. Mason C.ty, Iowa. Jan. 23, 1923.

(Preston News Service) CIEVELAND, OHIO, Feb. 2—Charging that alleged conditions of immorality in Cleveland, especially on Central and Scovill avenues "is too shocking for utterance" a delegation of Negro ministers and welfare workers urged K. G. Jones, superintendent of public schools here to call on Mayor Kohler and the police department to give certain parts of Central avenue, Scovill avenue and nearby streets a moral house-cleaning, last Friday afternoon. It is said that designingcolored men "pimps" are alleged to brazenly enter school buildings to make dates with girls; and that and girls ranging in ages from 13 to 16 years are freely entertained in houses of ill repute; and that drugs and whisky are being peddled in wholesale quantities. According to the ministers and welfare workers, all of this is going on with the knowledge of the police, who they claimed are making practically no effort to clean up these districts. Rev. H. C. Beiley, pastor of a church located in Central avenue, asserted, "This question is much broader than Cleveland. It's a matter of the morale of the South being transplanted in the North. In the South every colored girl is considered the legitimate prey of white men and often black. With the infux of colored people from the South the same moral situation is being set up. The type of Negro seen in these districts is the scum of the South and Cleveland seems to have gotten a considerable number." William R. Conners, director of the Cleveland Urban League, said, "The problem is not a racial problem at all. It's an age-problem. Both races equally at fault. It seems to me that there is lax supervision in the schools somewhere. I may be a small town man, but I know that in Pennsylvania, where I lived for a time, the children were considered under the care of their parents from the time they left home until they arrived at the school grounds. From that time until they returned home they were under the care of their teachers. Closer supervision on the part of the parents and the teachers will do much to rid the city of this evil." Among those attending the conference were:—Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Zion Baptist Church; Rev. E. A. Clcrk, pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church; Miss Jane E. Hunter, secretary of Phillis Wheatley Association; Atty. Alexander Martin; W. R. Conners, executive secretary of the Urban League; H. E. Smith; George A. Meyers; Prof. E. C. Eldridge; Prof. Frank G.

The bill prohibits non-law enforcing persons, singly or collectively, rom imposing or administering penalties for alleged infractions and places a barrier on secret meetings carrying out threats or making investigations.

NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR DE- CLARES WAR ON KLAN. Preston News Service) PERTH AMBOY, N, J, Feb. 2—Gov. Silzer, in an address to the local council of the Knights of Columbus, declared war on the Ku Klux Klan last Wednesday night. "Such a displeasant organization as the Ku Klux Klan should not exet," he said. "There is nothing worse than this sudden revival of bigotry. It is radical antogonism which is being roused against Catholics, Jews and Negroes. "What is the cause of it? Commercial bigotry. There is no need for immediate legislative action. Publicity will wipe out this hideous monster. If not we will have to pass a law compelling these people to show their faces. If this bigotry does not end in the near future I shall be first to participate in this stand." WITH THE LODGE Imperial Co. No. 1 Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias held their annual election of officers last Monday night for the year 1923. Capt. John D. Jones, retired from command of the Company to accept a higher rank on the staff of Grig. Gen. Thos. Kennedy, commanding the Jurisdiction of Kansas. Capt. John D. Jones made an enviable record with this company during the many years that he was in command and attracted widespread attention. Thru his efforts Imperial Company became one of the best drilled teams by giving their earnest co-operation. Lieut. Jas. H. Garrett was elected to the rank of captain, 1st Lieut. S. Maurice Jones was re-elected, Six Knight Luther Meredith elected to the rank of 2nd Recorder, Sgt. E. Thomas, re-elected as Treasurer, and Sgt. A. H. Henderson, re-elected Ass't 1st Sergeant. Further appointments of non-commissioned officers will be made at the first meeting in the month of February. Imperial Company is planning on going into camp at Chanute, Kansas during the session of Sunflower Grand Lodge and to attend the Supreme Lodge Emcampment of the Knights in New York City, during the month of August. The tentative program is arranged by a special committee that the citizens can easily aid them in their efforts. o A series of entertainments and amusements will be offered to the public. Asst' Surgeon Gen., Frank O'Hara Miller and Colonel Chas. P. Edwards, both ranking on the staff of Muj. Gen. R. R. Jackson commanding the entire Uniform Rank Dept., of all Pythian Lodges, were present at the meeting. They have pledged their support to take the Wichita Drill Team to the Supreme Lodge Encampment that this city might receive the notice and attention it well deserves. Knight Robert Braden, of Taos Lodge No. 10, took out a membership with the company that he might aid them in the efforts. After the session was closed a very agreeable surprise was tendered to the Company by Capt. John D. Jones, and 1st Lieut. S. Maurice Jones. The Company was formed and marched down to the Don't Miss It Cafe and feasted on a repast that can only be served in such style as Mr. Chub Trout, the proprietor is noted. Many toasts were proposed to the prosperity of the Imperial Company and pledges of support that has ever marked its membership were many. A standing invitation has been extended to all Pythians desiring to take a vacation trip to New York City, and the East at an absurdly low figure. All persons not holding a membership are invited to investigate this matter and plan to spend a few days of your vacation in sight-seeing and visiting in the East. »MAKIN EYE.

Service at our church Sunday was very good. The Sunday School has a great interest in the studying of God's word. Supt. Oliver is sure on the job.

On Sunday night, the pastor again delivered a great sermon from the subject: "A Burning Message From A Burning Bush, To A Suffering People." We had many visitors in our evening service of whom we were proud. ing service of whom we were proud. On Tuesday evening the Mission Circle met at the home of the President, Sister Blanche Givens.

At 7:30 our Christian Endeavor was well attended. The subject was very interesting. At 8:00 Elder Hancock spoke from Matt. 3:1; his subject was, "Repentance;" and he explained the subject beautifully. We were lifted and inspired and we Christians wondered why the sinners wouldn't accept a position under such a gallant leader as our Savior, when He, through dith had made it plain. We had two to accept a membership with us, and wo felt that we had been greatly rewarded for our day's service. The public is welcome to our services.

St. Paul Notes. "Behold. I stand at the door and knock." Rev. 3:20. This subject was forcibly presented to a splendid audience at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, last Sunday morning by the pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope. How true and yet how wonderful are those words that Christ still knocks at the door of every man's heart and then how persistently man refuses Him permission to enter. The love and mercy of the Father is shut out through procrastination, doubt and hard-heartedness of man until the fatal hour comes, when it is too late. At the evening service, Capt. W. L. Hutcherson spoke in behalf of the Y. M. C. A., giving some rare and very wholesome reasons for its maintenance and co-operation by all Christian believers. Many interesting facts were brought to light regarding the great work of the Association throughout the country in lifting our youth from the beggarly elements, sin and vice. At the early morning prayermeeting, an unusual manifestation of the Holy Spirit seemed apparent and two persons were united to the church. The Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. began with its re-organization of classes and grades, and on next Sunday will have the new system with its additional teachers in splendid shape for thoroughly handling the subjects or lessons from the juvenile to the theologians.

David said, "My soul thirsteth for Thee." The pastor pointed out the wonder-fulness of having the soul thirst after God, that, in itself is a blessing, for we are told that "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled."

THE REVIVAL SPIRIT which has swept Wichita, is in accordance with the greater manifestation of the Spirit of The Christ which is bidding the Christian forces of the world awake fully to the great aim of the Christian Religion; THE SALVATION OF ALL MEN. Church dogmas, creeds, traditional associations, and affiliation, while vital factors from an ecclesiastical point of view must never be allowed to check the inclination of sinners to make an acceptance of THE CHRIST irregardless of denominational inclinations. Baptist, Methodist, Episcopolitan, Catholic, or what not, All Important IS JESUS CHRIST In The Individual Life. IT IS PLEASING to dream glorious dreams of a race leaping by bounds into world-wide honor, but it is far more enchanting to have a consciousness of working to such an end. It is divine to have raised the trong voice of redeemed manhood in protest against the oppressions of a down-trodden people, but it is in keeping with the silent influence of The Christ to work out the remedies for existing situations. It is like catching the hallowed incense of Heaven to know that daily you are striving to serve God, but it is to have the full approval of heaven when you are daily serving Humanity, actuated by a subtle influence of the God Spirit within your heart. EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE in Topeka, to bring about the passage of a law, making it illegal in the State of Kansas to perform a marriage ceremony within the state in which the high contracting parties have moved from another state in which the ceremony would be illegal, ought to be watched with marked attention by the Negro Leaders of the state. Such movements are highly indicative of Jim Crow inclinations on the part of Kansas legislators. The race loses that sleeps. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH is materially failing of its greater duty to God and Humanity, which, having the ordinary facilities or engaging in general community services, is not launching out in that direction. The masses of all faiths and of the unsavel world are more and more demanding a theory of religion that will enter into all phases of the individual life; Take an active part in the community interests of all the people; Make logical presentations of of the future eternal life with its glorious triumphants, but will yet strive to life humanity by teaching the lessons and values of the present life. More community services and the masses will rally to the standard of The Christ. GET WEALTH, HONOR, GLO RY, FAME AN POWER, all of which are goals towards which the red blood bids man ever strive, BUT ABOVE ALL THINGS, GET CHAR- ACTER or all else is lost. WE would like for the many friends of Rev. J. Reeves and his most efficient wife, to know that they are doing well in Macon City, Iowa; just as busy as bees, fighting sin as usual. These are some of God’s special servants and He is blessing them. THERE was a wave of enthusiasm passed ovtr the Baptist family to do a righteous act in Newton, during the Southwestern District Meeting, and many pledged to help Rev. Matt S. Jones, who is sacrificing so much to help his people. They were ready to give him a car, but they have not moved a peg since. It is your duty to help him help the need. Think of the comfortable place you have in which to worship, then think of the long rides through the cold and poor place to worship, then think of many honored positions a man of his ability could hold; but is giving his life where it is most needed—Then think, until you think to send him a donation. "Do something for somebody, that God can do something for you." s GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY, BROTHER or SISTER. Go, because the Christian Church is holding the determining vote in solving the many problems in which your race is interested. Because your future success will be determined whether you would have it so or not, by the principles which are steadily being advanced by The Evangelical Christian Churches; Go to church because your close affiliation with some regular church body was the foundation upon which your parentage hoped to have you set your pillars in building your character, which they desired to even outshine the noonday sun. The Christian Church today offers the best program for adjusting racial differences, world wide, social and political problems and rebuilding society along stable lines of word-wide peace and security. The Christian Church, Sunday, will demand your soul for God and your life for service to Humanity. Are you filled with the red blood of endeavor for God, Race and Country? If so, go to church and join with those who do battle for a greater civilization in which you ought to have a part. MORE AND MORE does it become apparent to the careful observer that the general trend of the races is to be dictated by forces deriving their greatest inspiration from the life of Jesus Christ, and possessed only by a radicalism produced by the tenets of The Holy Writ. The vigorous presentation of cases detrimental to the progressive trend of modern society without offering a safe, sane remedy; The heated method of protest against racial oppression without an equally determined effort to blend racial forces into a rational whole in which superior thought will catch the ear of the masses; The repeated efforts to urge a higher type Christian program through the churches of the race, without an equally determined battle to divorce the race from the idea that terrestrial racial success is not a part of The God Program, must fail of the mark in promoting the general success of the race. The time has come for the great brain of the Negro to find a solution of racial problems upon which its entire leadership can agree, and then devote every energy of the race to that great end whether it lends to Africa, Mexico, or the most remote part of civilization. Too much time is being lost by the race in the presentation of arguments pro and con, without the arriving at the needs and remedy. q TWO GREAT EVILS are steadily forging their way to the front against which all the social and religious forces of the Negroes throughout the world ought to combine in a determined effort to stamp out of the race before they have hold in a vise of racial deterioration from which there is no ultimate release. THE DOPE HABIT, and use of Intoxicating Liquor. Statistics show that the white race is being undermined by the Drug and Liquor Habit. White leaders fully appreciating the great horror of racial suicide through the medium of both habits are rushing all their forces into the fray against both practices or habits which are becoming universal In their detrimental trends towards racial destruction. The Negro Race is not being overlooked by the satanic inbuences of Hell which are daily undermining the Community life of every metropolis and wrecking character by the dope and liquor route. The time has arrived when leaders of the Race ought to cry out against Dope and Liquor in no uncertain terms. It is great to talk racial grandeur, and predict racial successes in the civic, social, commercial, industrial, political and religious spheres, but such will never materialize until the doors of the race are absolutely closed to the determined aggressions of Dope and Liquor, and the influences of all forces allied with those who retarded the world progress of civilized people by encouraging such habit within the circle of any race. There is a work for the leaders of the race that action by those who are charged with demands absolute harmonious action, friendly thought, and co-operative the sacred duty of marching in the van of the Negro Race and warning it against the sinister evils of the age. Our race will win as we avoid the evils that are sweeping other races into oblivion, and moving out over another route of racial progress far removed from the path of DOPE and LIQUOR.
