THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.42 THE SILENCE OF GOOSE CREEK. TEXAS EDITOR WARNS AMERICA (Reprint by N. A. A. C. P.) A child screamed in the night—a little girl eight years old—but no one stirred. Instead, a man—a painted, disguised man—drew his gun and threatened her with death, if she did not cease. A woman was lifted from her sick bed and carried forth into the darkness to be whipped like a dog. There were strong men to weld the strap, to take the Spanish inquisition for a pattern, but there was not one to raise his voice for common decency, for the teaching of his fathers, for ordinary American manhood. Hundreds knew this thing had occurred, yet for four days a whole community remained silent. The Chronicle was the first paper in Texas to report the horrible deed, and its information came through a letter secretly mailed in Houston by a Goose Creek resident. That was five days after the crime had been committed. Not a word had been given the public by the deputy sheriff at Goose Creek, nor by the sheriff's department in Harvest. Constituted authority had been flaunted, secrecy prevailed, men and women refused to talk, while the two victims lay moaning and suffering. Is this white supremacy? Is this Gentile civilization? Is this Protestant justice? Is this chivalry? Is this Anglo-Saxon law? And what sealed the lips and paralyzed the arms of so many people? what drove them to be deaf to the child? What caused them to remain mute? Nothing but terror of masked violence. Nothing but fear of a disguised hand that might strike from behind. Nothing but an alarm that has spread, and spread, until people do not dare to move or speak, lest they expose themselves unawares. And suppose the woman had offended, of which there is no proof, was have no law to make her answerable? Is the machinery of our government so clogged with ruts, so eaten and corrupted, that it can no longer function? After 133 years of constitutional democracy, must we admit that justice is only to be had through masked violence? After winning such glory on the open battle field, after living for more than a century with open courts, are we to acknowledge that the mob offers us our only salvation? There are men to laugh at the grand jury, more's the pity and to hope its efforts will prove futile. There are men to ridicule the Judge Robinson's charge. There are men to applaud that brutish band, and to rejoice that its identity has been concealed. There are men to become drunk with, the thought of anonymous power, and to take delight in its exercise. There are men to prefer disguised, extra-legal violence to the slower process of the law. When the kaiser threw down his gauntlet and all Europe was forced to defend itself, Lord Grey turned to us and cried: "You next." We refused to believe it—refused for three long years—but it came to pass. Who strikes at civilization, strikes at everybody and everything dependent on it. Who strikes at the law, strikes at everybody and everything that looks to the law for protection. If the time has come when the law can not protect the humblest citizen in his legitimate rights, can not grant him a fair hearing, can not guarantee him against arbitrary conviction and punishment, the time will sure come when the law can do these things for no citizens. If the time has come when a mob can invade the poorest home, in defiance of our traditions, in contradiction of our fundamental rights, the time will come when the mob can go where. We are not dealing with an isolated proposition in this latest outrage, but with an illustration, with a symp- SLIGHT NORTHERN SHIFT OF NEGRO LABOR. (Department of Labor, Washington) A movement of Negro unskilled labor from the South to northern industrial centers, considered rather remarkable for winter months, was announced today by James J. Davls, Secretary of Labor, as the result of an investigation by Phil. H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation in that department. This is the first gesture toward a northern shift of this class of workers that has been noticeable since the War, when the labor famine was met by their inclusion; but the present movement is in no manner widespread or considered general, like the previous one. Payrolls of a number of districts in northern and central western industrial points are being slightly swelled by the employments of these workers who come directly from southern states, with Georgia yielding the greatest number of migrants. Philadelphia, Pa.; Portsmouth, Akron and Youngstown, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wis.; Argo, Ill.; Indiana Harbor, Ind.; and Trenton and Newark, N. J., are specific points into which an appreciable influx of Negro labor has come for absorption into industrial life. A slight increase is noted in Chicago, Ill.; New York, N. Y., and southern Ohio and Illinois points, Kansas City, Mo., Camden, N. J., and Detroit, Mich., show no increase in the number of Negro workers; while several districts show a very slight decline in the use of Negro labor. In general, however, continued migration from the South is indicated, with a slowly increasing absorption of Negro labor by northern industry just as rapidly as its increased output is demanded. In this connection, the iron and steel industry continues to lead in its demands for Negro labor, with meet-packing, glass, transportation, food production, etc, closely following; and the probability is great that a wider entrance than ever before, so far as specific occupations and types of employment are concerned will eventually result from this growing movement of labor. The most significant phase of the movement is that it obtains in face of a reluctance of this labor to drift northward in winter, and the suggestion prevails that the Spring will bring larger numbers, providing the industrial demands prevail. tom, a warning. The silence of Goose Creek is not significant because of what it means to the community, but because it shows how any and all communities may be terrorized, may be frightened, intimidated and made to serve the will of ruthless but organized groups. A YOUNG PEOPLE'S PROGRAM FOR THE INDIVIDUAL CHURCH. BY W. L. HUTCHERSON, SECRETARY, WATER STREET BRANCH Y. M. C. A. WICHITA, KANSAS, Ref. Romans 10:1-2; Gen. 44:30-34 Acts 2:17-18. There are those among you who have already become suspicious of this presentation and are beginning to murmur: "Here is another Fantastic idea; I have been in the church for forty years, and we have never had any program for the young people." My friends, it is for that very reason that we are making this presentation. We have not a program; and with the allurements of the world, we are falling to hold our young folks to the church. We cannot hope to hold the 20th Century Boy and Girl with an 18th Century program. January 16th at the Annual Meeting of the Wichita Sunday School Association Rally, Earl Bellman, the retiring President of the older boys' council, issued this challenge: "The day is passed when the church can sat to the young folk; "Come on in.

In sunlight and shadow he boldly stood forth as the faithful servant and warrior of Jesus Christ, who had caught a vision of things Divine. As a Christian, Scholar, Author, Philoopher, Citizen and Minister he stood forth as a blazing sun of inspiration and guidance to his race, and The Christian Church. Therefore, Be it Further Resolved: That The Wichita Ministerial League out of honor, to our great brother E. T. Fishback, request the pastors of all evangelical churches in Wichita to drape their respective pulpits in mourning for a period of thirty days, and that a season of silent prayer be held at all church services Sunday, February 11, 1923 in memory of our departed brother who in life proved himself to have been called of Christ as one of God's Noblemen with a mission to fallen humanity which he has well fulfilled. Further Be It Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the records of The Wichita Ministerial League, and another copy be forwarded to the widow, and relatives of E. T. Fishbock.

Resolutions of regret and esteem were adopted by the ministers of the city at a meeting of The Wichita Ministerial League held at the Water Street Y. M. C. A., Tuesday which was called for the purpose of arranging for the funeral of the late Rev. E. T. Fishback, founder of the League, and its president at the time of his death. Rev. J. E. Douglas, acting as president appointed Rev. R. L. Pope, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E.; W. L. Hutcherson, executive secretary of the Water Street Y., and Rev. B. C. Rannavalon, secretary of the League as a committee to assist in making arrangements for the public burial services for Rev. Fishback to be held next week. Resolutions adopted by League are as follows: Know Ye not That There Is A Prince And A Grett Man Fallen This Day in Israel. II Sam. 3:38. Since in accordance with the eternal plans of Divine Providence; The Reverend Dr. E. T. Fishback, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, and PRESIDENT OF THE WICIIITA MINISTERIAL LEAGUE has realized the hope of his faith, and been called to take on his brow the glorious crown of A Christian Warrior. Be It Resolved by the Wichita Ministerial League in a special session; That we hereby extend the full sympathy, and prayers of this organization to the widow and relatives of E. T. Fishback our well beloved brother co-worker in The Christian Church, and president of The Wichita Ministerial League, Rev. Fishback, the founder of The Wichita Ministerial League, and its active president at bring us your soul, but leave your social, mental and physical life outside.' We can develop your soul, but we can not do anything for the three other phases of your development." But, said this young man, "The Church must supply all the needs of our growing manhood and womanhood. President. Rev. H. H. Edmond, Vice Pres. Rev. J. E.

Dr. Elijah Thomas Fishback, our beloved pastor departed this life Tuesday evening, February 6, 1923. He had an attack of acute ingestion from which he never fully recovered. The first attack came Thursday of last week, and he had partial relief until the final attack. He had served in Wichita, longer than any other minister. He was pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church for 14 years. Forty-eight years ago he was born in Frankfort, Ky. His father and grand-father were ministers. He received the D. D., degree from the University of Kentucky. He was corresponding secretary of the Kansas State Board, president of the Wichita Ministerial League, vice president and secretary of the Wichita Minie-rial Association, and vice president of the National Baptist Convention. He created better inter-racial relations in the city of Wichita, was a factor in every forward movement for the good of city, state, nation, and the world. Men of all classes, creeds, and nationalities held him in high esteem. He was a friend to man. He scattered sunshine wherever he went. New Hope has lost a pastor, a friend, a father, a brother. He preached the Gospel 30 years. Those, who survive him are his wife, Mrs. Sarah L. Fishback, a daughter, Mrs. Mattie Chestnut, Cincinnati, Ohio; a brother, Stanley Fishback, Dayton, Ohio; two sister, Mrs. Annie Roan, Winchester, Ky.; Mrs. Dan White of Pontias, Mich.; Mrs. Issaile Walker (a sister) was buried Saturday in Richmond, Ky. Gone to dwell in realms of brightness Which we mortals cannot see; Gone to wake in Jesus' likness, And with Him forever be. Now he's "dwelling on the mountain Where the streams of life abide." Now he's "drinking life's pure waters" And his "soul is satisfied." Yes, he's reached the Land of Beulah, Land of which he used to sing; Reating from his labors truly. Weary of this old world's sorrow, Disappointments, griefs and woes, He has gained a glad tomorrow Ne'er to be confused by foes. When the rocks and the mountains, Everyone shall fade away; When the riverade and fortune When the riverlets and fountains, Fade before eternal day. Hear the promise of his Saviour, Given when he began this race; Sweet the promise of His Saviour, "Poor Soul's got a hiding place." TO E. T. FISHBACK. The night was almost deepening. For the day was nearly done; When God knocked at a lonely cottage And called for only one. He worked and slaved for the Master. While he labored here on earth, May God's arms safely enfold him, Till we meet him on the hearth. —By JAS, TAYLOR. Five Cents Per Copy SPECIAL ACTIVITIES. WATER STREET Y. M. C. A.

My Departure From Oakdale, Louisiana, to Los Angeles, Calif. Los Angeles, California. Jan. 28. 1923. Please allow me space to say I have made my destination safe and I am going to say just here, I am thankful to the Great I Am for having brought me over safely through storms, tornadoes, hurricanes and epidemics, thro' 1922 thus far. I boarded the train at Oakdale, La., Dec. 13, 1922, 4:45 o'clock I arrived at Portland, Ark., at 3:30 o'clock Thursday morning I stopped there to see relatives and friends; was met at the train by Mr. and Mrs. Otha Harris. They carried me to their beautiful home worth a Thousand Dollars. (paid for) that afternoon. I went for a stroll up town accompanied by Prof. A. J. Smith, who reported to me the general conditions of business; whereby he said, owing to the fact that the farmers in general did not have much success this year in farming, some had picked out and ginned by the 3rd week in Nov. Dec. 24, 1922 I went to No. 2 M. B. Church in company with Mrs. Bessie E. Harris, there we found Sunday School in its full exercise. Afterwhich the superintendent, Prof. A. J. Smith made some announcements and closed singing, song: "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." We then went into a warm praise meeting conducted by good deacon J. W. Wilson. Dr. W. W. Booker of Wilmot, Ark., a wonderful man; a man among men, a God-sent man and who is loved by his host of members, and who is now closing his 22nd year here as pastor, came forward singing, the song: "Go Preach My Gospel Saith the Lord;" and chose for his discourse 22rd Psalm, 1st verse: "The Lord is my Shepherd," etc and while Dr. Booker held the audience spell-bound, he made our hearts leap for joy, full of the Holy Spirit; with tears in our eyes and women running out the door with the Holy Spirit. Then after he had stirred up the blessed old church and had finished His preached word. He then made us think on greater things of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by administering the Lord's Supper. Just here the writer was allowed space to speak in the old church where he was a loyal member for 17 years. I spoke in behalf of the newsy and interesting Negro Star. I held before them one of our great and noble characteristical men's pictures, who is sleeping in the great beyond in the Holy Land of Bliss, but whose work is still alive and moving on, in the person of Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention. The following named persons enlisted for the paper: Prof. G. C. King, 3 months R. 3 Box 74, Parkdale, Ark. H. Y. Washington, 3 months R. 3, Box 75, Parkdale, Ark., Mrs. Bessie Harris, in care of E. Wall and Co. Portland, Ark. I aboarded the train in Portland, Ark., Jan. 3, to finish my journey to this city. (P ease allow me space in this issue to tell of the scenes as I journeyed.) I changed cars at Pueblo, Colorado, for Salt Lake City, Utah, just as we were leaving that city we began to view the dangerous and the beautiful scenes First, we came to Castle Rock, 33 miles from Denver. We observed to M the left beautiful Castle Rock, one of Colorado's landmarks in days of the old wagon train across the prairies before the time steam roads wasted away, for centuries, it is left in the form of a large castle rock. Next we came to an Elephant Rock. This is one of the most remarkable freaks of nature in the rock, nature's mysterious forces have here fashioned out of the rock, a gigantic likness of an elephant which is so true to life as to be actually startling in realism and one might imagine its' having been transplanted from India's jungles. Leaving Canon City, the train wends its way along the river to the entrance of the Royal Gorges which is a gigantic chasm in the heart of the mountains, cut from the summits of the lofty peaks to the very foundation stones at the bottom flows the Arkansas River, the mother of the Royal Gorges. Along this River follows the Denver and Rio Grande R. R., an engineering fete once looked upon as well-nigh impossible. Farther and farther and farther as we penetrated this cannon becomes narrow and the massive walls become higher in the center of the gorge. It is 30 feet wide at the base while the walls rise 2,627 feet above track at this point there was not sufficient room for the R. R., and the river to run side by side, hence, it was necessary to build the famous hanging bridge which is suspended parallell with the river by immense steel supports buried in granite walls on either side for ten miles. Wonder after wonder of nature's mysterious grandeurs is presented to the tourist on the trip through the grand old canon of the Arkansas River. Now, after seeing this wonderful scenery, we arrived at that beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, at two o'clock. Thirty minutes there I met Mr. Ernest M. Ellis 345 W. No. Temple St., whom I have known since 1903, he carried me around to his splendid cafe and made it pleasant for me. He reported to me that times are good in that city for a colored man and work is also plentiful. I went aboard the train, at 11:50 Saturday night. I arrived at the Golden City of the far West Los Angeles, California, Monday morning, January 8, '23, at 7 o'clock. Yours for the Race, J. W. Williams, 815 Gladys Ave., Agent and Reporter. WILBERFORCE BASKET BALL TEAMS WIN. WILBERFORCE, OHIO, Feb. 2- The girls basket-ball term defeated the Girl Scouts team in Cincinnati, January 13. by a small score. The crack basket-ball team of Dayton, came here on the 16th and received a severe drubbing at the hands of the Varsity basket-ball team by a score of 50 to 8. The Dayton lads played a splendid game, but were outclassed in every departemnt of the game from start to finish. The Dayton lads are splendid passers, but the defensive of the local lads was a little too good for the visitors. The Varsity boys are weak on foul shooting. However, they are making a strenuous effort to develop a good foul shooter. Their offensive work is improving, but they need much training for contests with speedier and more experienced teams.

Phone Mkt 1429 Tabernacle Baptist Corner 8th and Water, Rev. E. Leon Nalls, Pastor. Services were very good at our church, Sunday, and very nicely attended. At Eleven o'clock the pastor delivered a strong sermon on the subject, "The Power of the Gospel." On Sunday afternoon, we enjoyed the ordinance of baptism by two souls who put on Christ by Holy Immersion. At six o'clock, the B. Y. P. U., opened its hour with much interest in the lesson. At eight o'clock, the pastor again spoke to us from the subject of "Love." It was indeed a masterpiece. It was a message full of thought. We had many visitors Sunday of whom we were proud. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to our church. St. Paul Notes. Sunday was communion day at St. Paul Church and the usual large audience of the morning service witnessed a real, good, old-fashioned class meeting, in which many live spiritual testimonials were given by young and old. Rev. Pope gave a brief preliminary talk, following the usual order of service and then invited all who desired to testify their gratitude to the Master for His many blessings upon them and their firmer faith and hope in Him for the future. In the evening the pastor took for his text the story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15:13; subject: "In a Far Country." He said in part that the term—in a far country, did not always imply literally a country in foreign lands but might be construed to mean that this young man desired to get away from the environments of home influences and associates to be among strangers with whom he could have a good time without parental restraint. This was his great desire evidently, and such is the desire of many youths of today, but like this young man after a brief season of riotous living are brought to a realization of their folly. It was an eloquent appeal to the young people and the opportunity had its effect upon the minds of many. During the two services eight young people united with the church. The choir deserves special mention for its part in the spiritual uplift in these services and is proving a valuable asset. With the steady increase of its membership and auxiliaries the church is moving on both spiritually and financially and the door still stands ajar for all who would do service for the Master. "Let none hear you idly saying, there is nothing I can do, while the souls of men are dying and the Master calls for you." St. Mary Baptist Notes. Our services were very fair on last Sabbath; the weather was not the most pleasant, and yet the Supt., and assistant were both absent. The pastor took charge at 9:40 a. m., and we had a fine session of the Sunday School with more than forty present and the teachers present, took charge of their classes, and for 25 minutes, we dwelt on the subject: "The Graces of Gratitude" and the golden text: "Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, and into His courts with praises; be thankful unto Him and, bless His name." Psa. 100:4. Going to the very foundation of the Christian religion, much was gained. At 11 o'clock a. m., our minister, Rev. J. E. Douglass was at his post and chose for his text, Mark 14:8; words: "She hath done what she could." Subject: "The Measuring Rod." Derling with the capacity to do, the opportunity, your conviction, the necessities of others. Union services were very fair; President and Sister Lela Sims are striving to make the Union what it should be. God bless them. At 8 o'clock p. m., our pastor chose for a text, Luke 24:50; subject: "Ascension." The minister preached a very able sermon from said text, and at the close four persons came for wred; two were candidates for baptism and the others were received on their Christian experience. Thus ended the Sabbath services Our few nights of prayer services began Wednesday night, follow later with sermons by Dr. R. A.

"The Grace of Gratitude," the general theme of our Sunday School lesson Sunday morning, showed a great example which we should follow that of the leper who retured and give thanks. On account of our minister's jilness, Rev. M. T. Jackson officiated Sunday morning. The Scripture lesson, text, and subject follow:—Romans 8:1-14; Romans 1:14. "The Miss on of the Holy Spirit." He preached a good sermon. To the surprise of the congregation, our minister, Dr. E. T. Fishback, came into the church while the sermon was being preached. He felt somewhat better and said it seemed as though he could not stay away. The B. Y. P. U. was worthy of its name during both the social and study hours. At the evening service, Rev. M. T. Jackson preached another spiritual sermon, using for a Scripture Lesson Ex. 14:1-14; Text Ex. 14:13, subject: "The Church in the Wilderness."

The following is an excerpt from the proceedings of the meeting of the State Executive Committee of the American Legion, held January 28th, 1823:— "After a short discussion regarding the stinding of the Colored Posts in the State, it was determined that a Committee of three should be appointed to investigate their troubles, their failure to re-instate in several instances, and report back to the Executive Committee." Comrades, If the Legion is good for the White Service Man it is good for us. The State Department has "toted fair" with us. They have given us every recognition offered to the constituency. But, we have been asleep. And, today, we find ourselves in the balances, and for the most prt, we are "Found Wanting." Come, let us girl up our loins, lest when this Special Committee calls, we will be like the five foolish Virgins 'Our Lamps will have gone out. Remember, in seven States, our men have applied for Charters, and have been refused. It will not help their cause to have it said that we had the privileges of the Legion but we spurned them. AWAKE!

ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. Notwithstanding, the severe cold weather, Sunday, the attendance at St. John's was fair. After reading the 105th division of Psalms for Scripture lesson, the pastor turned the meeting over to the Christians. Many happy and grateful soldiers told of God's goodness to them and expressed their determination to fight on until death.

ARE YOU AWARE? really think? Do You really think? Just as physical exercise develops the man physically, so does mental exercise develop the mental man. It is pitiful sometimes to note what foolish and weightless expression some of us make. However it reminds us of the bogus brakes of the untrained athlete. That a certain white brother the other night while making some illustrations destined to draw out points of interest in general, could not resist temptation to be rather personal with the group of colored people (that were present.) This does not add any long which we might term constructive to the present campaign for right relationship between the races. That a boy's program for Calvary has been prepared? Can you be counted in the number of propagates of youth? Sha'l we "get busy", or continue to sit quietly and indolently by and allow this coming generation to fail, is the passing generation has failed? chapter of Luke, 1-10 verses. The pastor pointed out very conclusively that the first thing necessary in finding Jesus is, a coming down out of a tree, which bespeaks humility. If we would find Jesus, we must seek Him in the valley of humility. He also emphasized restitution as an evidence of true repentance. When we have truly repented, there is a desire to make amends for what we have done. Another strong point was, God's willingness to give salvation on the ground of true repentance. Indeed it was an inspiring sermon. A goodly number was present and witnessed the truths. Sunday was our regular covenant meeting day, being the 1st Sunday of the month. A large number attended all day. The B. Y. P. U., is doing a great work. Sunday was True and Tried Section to render their program at seven p. m. Ever Loyal Section went over with finance.
