THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.45 A WONDER KING MUST HAVE LIVED. This Changes The Thoughts Of The World. (For The Associated Negro Press) CAIRO, EGYPT, Mar. 2, 1923—The remains of King Tut-Ankh-Amen and the greater bulk of the wonderful treasures found in the outer chambers of his tomb will be kept in Egypt. This statement is official and final. Egyptian governmental influences have so decided and it is now clear that none of the foreign influences interested in the recent marvelous discoveries made down beyond Thebes will make any attempt to disregard the wishes of the Egypt-government in this partular. The Egypt of today, by this step, has taken her place again among the nations of the earth. Discoveries Significant. A startling significance has been attached to the discoveries; the relics brought out o f the darkness and seclusion of a longer than three thousand year's entombment are distinctly tropical in character and pronouncedly Negroid in spiritual and physical expression. Elegance, beauty and in opulent warmth, almost vocal in its insistences, are present everywhere about the wonderful tomb. There is no way to determine the values of the collection in pounds or shillings, of in dollars and cents. Their sounder values lie more in what they reveal than in what they represent in motion appraisements. The two royally redecked figures of the ancient ruler standing guard at the entrance to the inner tomb are black of face, flat nosed in the manner of the Bugandans of the lower Nile. There is good reason to believe, in the light of these facts, that the Nordics did not get that far South along the valley of the Nile three thousand or more years ago. --- New Heart For Dark Faces. A new heart and a distinguished tradition have come to the dark races by reason of these latest excavatory discoveries made at the tomb of one of the great Pharoahs of Ancient Egypt. "We must reclaim these ancient splendors of our great races and again take our rightful places among the great, wise, and powerful people of modern times," said an eminent Egyptian gentleman in a private interview last week. There is a fine though non-militant culture here in Egypt. It is romantic in attitude and distinctly profound in philosophic utterance. But above everything else it is proud to a bitterness of feeling that is most intense and pathetically implicable in its hatreds of the "dipoilers of our land." But fresh heart and a practical wisdom is here and it now looks as if this means a new life has come to Egypt. Today's Problems Old. One other thing has been brought to light by these latest excavations and that is that the social problems of today are the same vexing questions of social development which have given worry to men throughout all the ages of human development. The rich and the poor, the great and the near great, the governing and be governed vied, each with the other, for the vantage grounds of life experience and with about the same results that give point and social value to the life of today. King Tut-Ankh-Amen had his troubles setting questions of religion and state as well as his difficulties in making equitable adjustment of the relations obtaining between, in his day, between capital and labor. Indeed new fields of social speculation have suddenly come to view and they may have a quite disturbing effect on the future trends of society throughout the world. White Veil Lifted. The white veil has been lifted. There is no longer any mystery hidden from us of the vaunted possessions of social superiority of the white or "Nordic" social instinct. This means that we are standing at the threshold of a social beginning that will be more worldwide in its scope and, probably, more sound in Recommendations For Spingarn Medal AWARD TO BE SENT TO W. F. WHITE. Recommendations of names for the consideration of the Spingarn Medal Award Committee, of persons of American citizenship and African descent, who distinguished themselves during the year 1922, are to be sent to the Secretary of the Committ e, Walter F. White, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, it was announced today through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Spingarn Medal will be awarded at the Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Kansas City, the last week in August.

Treodore Roosevelt; Mrs. Dorethy Canfield Fisher and Dr. W. B. Dulois. Salina Kansas News.. Pastor Williams returned home Thursday night, after a visit with his wife in Pittsburg, and other points in the Southeastern part of the State. Sunday's services were as follows: Scripture reading 27th Psalm, prayer by the pastor. Rev, Burnside, pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church at Garnett, Kansas, was then introduced as the speaker of the hour. He spoke out of God's Word from the 1st chapter of Revelations, 5th and 6th verses; using as a subject: "Crown Jesus With Glory." He emphasized the fact that we should strive to glorify Him in our lives and conduct; he also gave three good reasons why we should crown Him:—First, Because He loves us; Second, Because He washed us from our sins with His own blood; and loosed us from the bands of sin; Third, Because He lifted us to a higher standard. It was indeed an inspiring sermon. The Sunday School is showing a marked increase of attendance and is making wonderful progress. Class No. 2, one of the primary classes, taught by Mrs. Winifred Travis, won the banner Sunday with a collection of $15.00. Mrs. Travis and her little tots deserve much credit for the wonderful results of their efforts. The adult class taught by the pastor, is growing rapidly, their slogan for the year is "100 members." A large number were present at the B. Y. P. U.j and a very excellent program was rendered by the "Old Reliable" Section. Rev. Burnside delivered a strong, spiritual sermon in the evening to a full house; taking for his text the 10th verse of the 19th chapter of St. Luke: "For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Rev. Burnside is a strong, Gospel preacher and St. John is glad to welcome such as he, in their midst. Dr. H. H. Wilson left Thursday morning for Raleigh, N. C., to attend the funeral of his father-in-law, Mr. Thomas Adams. Mrs. Wilson, who was called several weeks ago, was there at time of his death. Pastor Williams was very agreeably surprised last Saturday night by a visit from his mother, Mrs. Anna Brown of Chattanogre, Tenn., whom he had not seen for some time. Mrs. Brown will be here for only a few days. Mr. Ted Haynes motored to Hutchinson, Kansas, Saturday, on business. Mrs. Lucv Greene, who was called to Indianapolis, Ind., a few wee's ago, to the bedside of her mother, is home and reports her mother somewhat improved. The Dunbar Athletic Club defeated the Wichita team in a fast Basket Ball game here last Thursday evening, with a score of 12 and 13. They will play a return game in Wichita, March 1st. The Supt., of the S. School, Mr. Howard Browner, who has been down with flu, is reported very much improved at this writing. its philosophic conclusions than of its predecessors. King Tut's return may be fraught with far reaching social inclusions. Who can tell? HE MAKES GOOD. It is not how long you have been at a place, or doing a thing, that counts, but what tangible evidence have you that you ran the business, is the sign of business ability. Mr. Pete Coleman has succeeded along his line and is recognized, as a real business man of the city. He grew in 12 years from a small beginning to a department business of news stand, cold drinks, cigars, restaurant, shoe-shinging parlor, barber shop, employment bureau, real estate agency and billiard parlor. He has just made some very important changes costing about $2000.00, which makes everything stand out as a progressive business. Mr. Coleman's years of business experience, make him mindful of what the public needs and his money goes freely that it can enjoy the necessary comforts and pleasures of life. In order that his friends, customers and the public at ltrge, might see improvements, he had, on Feb. 22, a formal opening, where the public came and enjoyed hospitalities to the extent of ½ barrel of Root Beer and many cases of pop, while the Osborne Orchestra made merry the hearts of many with its sweet strains of music. Now his establishment stands prepared and ready to serve the public from almost any angle of life, when you think of your needs, then think of Mr. Pete Coleman, 533-535 N. Main St., the place of amusement and business. ARE YOU AWARE? A That the times that we are now experiencing are more serious than any other period which we have experienced for many years? However, many of us are heedlessly promenading thru life, apparently not giving a thought to what is going on in their own community. Some people seem to think that they are immune from death. Some people will not get serious about this matter until death comes into their own home and pluck the most admired flower; or, even, until one finds his own frame growing "chilly and cold," he will not cease to cherish the frivolities in which he appears so vitally interested. Since it is true that humanity is rather more careless than careful, thoughtless than thoughtful, foolish than wise, this column desires to have a part in admonishing the people of our vicinity to reverse their view of life, and decide that "it is not all of life to live nor all of death to die," but, beyond that vale of tears there shall have to be a report of the deeds done in and by the body. That the recently organised brotherhood, whose primary object is the four-fold development of the boy-life in the church, is functioning well. The boys are introducing many activities which are not only peculiar in the development of their lives but very material in the future coursing of world activities. Like the "Y" these boys stand for physical culture, literary development, talent finding and guiding. Scientific research, music in its many phases, and any other reasonable and practical means of developing a symetrical life—all thoroughly raturated by the principals of Christianity. What are you doing in your church for the young folks who shall soon either take their places in the affairs of the nation or be relegated to the human junk pile which now stands towering to the skies? It is up to you, who have made the mistakes of life and see them, to make double-quick time in the wise programming for present and coming posterity. That the "Y" and its corp of boy workers stand ready to assist in any way that is in any way that is best for the boy. Must Have Substitute. (By The Associated Negro Press) CLEVELAND, OIIO, Mar. 2. White America is becoming alarmed at the growing religious indifference Colored America long since has called attention to the "religion that falls down at the color line" and the loss of religious grip upon the minds of those who thing for themselves. William Pickens of New York. In a recent magazine story created considerable comment by his bold assertions with reference to many Biblical beliefs. "Many of the older forms of restraint have ..... broken down. The immediate result is a terrible increase in lawlessness and vice and crime," Dr. Ernest Fremont Tittle of Evanston, Ill., one of the most prominent Methodist ministers in the country, declared at the opening session of the sixth annual meeting of the Coundil of Cities of the Methodist Episcopal Church. "The Church must discover a moral substitutne for the old fear of hell and the hope of heaven. I don't mean a moral equivalent, for neither the old fear nor the old hope was morally adequate. Both appealed to selfishness, and selfishness, even when it appeared in the garb of religion, is inadequate. "What is needed is a moral substitute that will furnish to this generation and even greter and far more noble form of restraint. Such a substitute the church has ready to hand in its recovered vision of the kingdom of God. "Many persons today are intellectually lost," Dr. Tittle continued, "They have cut loose from dogmas which they may live hopefully and courageous in such a world as this. "Unless business, industry, and politics can be brought under the law of service, the church should cease this moment to pray for the coming of the 'City of God.' If the church fails to put over this service motive, close your doors and lock up your Bibles." Dr. Tittle's address was in answer to one delivered by Dr. R. W. Sockman of New York City, who dissected the urban mind and its reaction to ancient dogma of the church. The city man is a "lost man;" he is swallowed up in the crowd and lacks the sense of "at homeness" of the man in the country, Mr. Sockman said. A FEW FACTS ABOUT OUR TRIP. A FEW FACTS ABOUT OUR TRIP.

D., was born April 22, 1874 at Pine Grove, Ky., and departed this life Tuesday, Feb. 6, 1923, about 6 p. m. Dr. E. T. Fishback professed a hope in Christ at the age of 12 years, and was baptized by his father, the Rev. Chas. Fishback. He entered the Gospel Ministry about the year 1893. Pastoring his first church at Nebo, Ky., from which he was called to the Corinthian Baptist Church, Frankfort, Ky., where he successfully pastored for 9 years; from there he was called to the New Hope Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, where he has successfully partored 15 years; during which time The Master through Him has built up a splendid congregation, which very easily ranks as one of the leading churches in the State, both Spiritually and Materially, having recently completed one of the finest church basements in the entire country. Dr. E. T. Fshback was not contrasted to his immature congregation in his his pastoral responsibilities; but his ministerial influence was felt through the length and breadth of Wichita, regardless to races or creeds. He veritably possessed the spirit of his Master, "The Spirit to go about "doing good." He touched the civil life of the city and state and nation in which he lived an prized the right of American citizenship. Dr. E. T. Fishback was the excellent Corresponding Secretry of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Kansas. He attended to this position with dignity to himself and credit to the Convention. This office making him a member of the Executive Bd. at which meetings and similar meetings he was always present except the last one which met in Leavenworth, Kansas, Feb. 7, 8, be'ng prevented by his illness and death. He was also a potent factor in the National Baptist Convention. Organizer and the present president of the Ministerial League. Always presiding with brotherly courtesy, exercising executive ability in its deliberations. Dr. E. T. Fishback's home life was an outstanding feature in his general make-up—affectionate to his family and kind to friends and even to strangers within his gates. He leaves to mourn the r loss: A loving wife, devoted daughter, Miss Medilene Fishback; three sisters: Mrs. Anna Rones, Winchester, Ky.; Mrs. Mary Emma Colmins, Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. Sadie White, Pontiac, Much; one brother: Mr. Stanley Fishback, Dayton, Oh'o, and a host of relatives and friends. "Servant of God, well done Rest from thy loved employ, The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Matter's joy. The voice at midnight came, He started up to hear: A mortal arrow pierced his frame, He fell, but felt no fear. His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight; Ready that moment at command, Through rock and steel to smite. His spirit with a bound, Left it incumbering clay; His tent at runset on the ground, A darkened ruin lay. The prins of death are passed, Labor and sorrow cease; And life's long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done, Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Savior's joy." RESOLUTIONS FROM STATE CONVENTION Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God in H's All-wise Providence to remove from this life our beloved fellow co-laborer, pastor and corresponding secretary of the Baptist State Convention of Kanats; And, Whereas, we will miss his presence, his wise council, his persevering tenacity in our assemblies; And, Whereas, in his home going we sustain the loss of his fervor, ardent devotion, his enthusiasm that mude Christ conspicuous in him and among us in all of our gatherings; Therefore. Be it resolved that we WEEK OF PRAYER AT KANSAS INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE, Beginning Monday night, February 19th, 1923 at 7:00 p. m., in the Chapel of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, Dr. J. H. Garnett, Dean of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary and Chaplain of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, began the week of prayer by a series of meetings, lasting from seven to eight o'clock, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, the meetings closing Friday night. Dean Garnett was assisted by Dr. W. H. Young, Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas. Dr. J. E. Jeltz of Lincoln, Nebraska, an evangelist singer, contributed much to the success of the meetings by his Gospel Songs. Dr. E. W. Perry of Oklahoma City, and President of the Oklahoma Baptist State Convention, who happened to be in Topeka, addressed the meeting Thursday night. The young ministers of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary were on hand and rendered valuable services. Mr. Burke and Mr. Freeman were conspicuous figures in the meetings. Some of the teachers and friends from the outside helped. Principal Bridgeforth was on the scene every night and contributed to the meetings by his presence. At the opening of the meetings it it was found that there were forty boys and twelve girls, who were nonprofessing Christians. Twenty-five of these boys and nine of the girls were converted, making in all thirty-four, leaving fifteen boys and three girls still standing out. The meeting was a great success, for aside from the new recruits, others were revived. Principal Bridgeforth pronounced the meetings the greatest held on the campus since he has been in charge of the Institute. Every body feels happier as a result of the week of prayer. Another Trial, Fair, Very Necessary. (By The Associated Negro Press) LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Mar. 2,—A decision of the United States Supreme Court has remanded the Ela'ms Riot cases and thereby practically reversed the decision of the Supreme Court of Arkansas which has affirmed the decision of a lower state court reached in the trial of the alleged Negro roters. This statement was given to the public last week by State Attorney, General Utler. Moorfield Storey of Boston, Mass., was the attorney of record in the appeal phase of the case. The decision of the Supreme Court is based on the following agreement of the Justices: "The ground for petition for the writ is that the proceedings in the State Court, although a trial in form, were only the pressure of a mob without any regard for the rights and without according to them due process of law." Since the conclusion of the state trial of the all-geged rioters public feeling has somewhat abated here. It is now believed that the men can receive a fairly fair trial. The more sober minded whites are fast coming to the conclusion that the farce trials of Negroes accused of sundry crimes do not redound to the credit or the benefit of the State of Arkansas and that it is now time to call a halt in trit kind of judicial procedure. There is well sustained belief now current that a second trial will result in the acquittal of the accused Negroes. humbly and gratefully bow our heads in humble submission to His inevitable providence Who doeth all things according to the council of His own will. Be it, Further Resolved, that we commend them to God in prayer, especially now and continuously, hereafter; and that a copy of these resolutions be given the family and a copy be entered on our record.
