THE NEGRO STAR: FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Says DuDois In "Smart .Set." (By The Associated Negro Press.) Negroes are superior to whites, asserts Dr W. E. B. Dubois in an article entitled "The Superior Race" and published in the March number of "The Smart Sea" magazine (25 West 45th Street, New York City). Dr. DuBois is editor of the Crisis and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The article is written in satirical form, as a conversation with an imaginary white friend. "Compare humanity at its best or worst with the ideal," says Dr. DuBois "and humanity auffe.s. But black folk in most attributes of physical beauty, in line, and height, and curve, have the same forms as whites and differ only in small details of color, hair and curve of countenance. Now can there by any question but that as colors bronze, mahogany, coffee and gold are far more lovelier than pink, gray and marble? Hair is a matter of taste. Some will have it drab and stringy and oilers in a gray, woven, unmoving mass. Most of us like it somewhere between, in tiny tendrils, smoking curls and sweeping curves. I have loved all these varieties in my day. I prefer the crinky kind, almost wavy, in black, brown and glistening. In faces I hate straight features; needles and razors may be sharp—but beautiful never." In a raking crt.cam of the modern factory system and industrialism produced by the white man, Dr DuBois asserts the Negro's sense of beauty has protected him from it: "Art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows Beauty, that has music in its soul and the color of sunsets in its heedkerchiefs; that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance, too. Such is the soul of the Negro. "Why, do you know the two finest things in the industry of the West, finer than factory, shop or ship? One is the black laborers' Saturday off. Neither the whip of the driver, nor stervation wage, nor the disgust of the Yankee, nor the call of the cotton crops, has yet convinced the common black variety of plantation laborer that one day in the week is enough for rest and play. He wants two days. And, from California to Texas, from Florida to Trinidad, he takes two days while the planter screams and curses. They have beaten the English slavery, the French and German peasants and the North Italian contadini into twelve-hour, six-day slaves. They crushed the Chinese and Indian coolie into a twenty-four-hour beast of burden; they have even made the American, free, white and twenty-one, believe that daily toil is one of the Ten Commandments. But not the Negro. From Monday to Friday the field hand is a slave; then for forty-eight golden hours he is free, and through these same forty-eight hours he may yet free the dumb, driven cattle of the world. "Then the second thing, laughter. This race has the greatest of the gifts of God, laughter. It dances and sings; it is humble; it longs to learn; it loves men, it loves women. It is frankly, boldly, deliciously human in an artificial and hypocritical land. If you will hear men laugh, go to Guinea, "Black Bottom," "Niggertown," Harlem. If you want to feel humor too exquisite and subtle for translation, sit invisibly among a gang of Negro workers. The white world has its gibes and cruel caricatures; it has its loud guffaws, but to the black world alone belongs the delicious cluckles." The present danger to white civilization is its fear of truth, according to Dr. DuBois: "We have raised Propaganda to capital "P" and elaborated an art, almost a science of how one may make the world believe what is not true, provided the untruth is a widely wished-for thing like the probable (Special to The Negro Star) On Sunday, morning, Match 11, we left Oakley, for a day's visit with our sister and family, Mrs. N. W. Ward, who has for the past threes week, been confined to her bed under care of Dr. W. E. Cary. Shortly after our arrival, we were joyfully surprised by the arrival of Mrs. S. R. Nevins and family and Mrs. Robert Howard, who brought baskets laden with a complete dinner, in which a delicious roast turkey and other good eats too numerous to mention were not lacking. Autos and buggies continued to arrive, until about thirty persons had gathered, each company expecting themselves to be the only visitors; but each brought with them the Spirit of Christ and soon entered into a service of song and prayer with a careful study of the Sunday S. hool Lesson, which brought renewed hope and courage to the home. This pleas. a God: Scattering Sunshine and flowers in the home rather than heaping flowers, moistened with tears upon the grave. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Douglass, Oakley, Kensas Southern Women and The Race Problem. The enlistment of Southern women in the various good will organizations recently formed in the Southern States is one of the most significant phases of the work being done by the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation. Groups of representative women in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia, Tennessee and Texas have accepted membership on their State Committees on Race Relations and have made public statements embodying their views in regard to the justice and fair play that should be given the Negro, declaring their opposition to lynching and other manifestations of mob law, and pledging themselves to follow all methods leading to harmonious racial adjustment. In addition to these State Committees, there are to be noted the remarkable and encouraging movement to enlist the 250,000 organized women of the Methodist Church, South, in a determined and systematic campaign for the suppression of lynching; and the statement adopted by the recent Georgia Baptist convention, declaring that lynching "is a cancer on our body politic and a disgrace to our Christian civilization. The C'hr is tian Church, surely our own, must sound the knell to anarchy in all its forms; but more especially when a band of men arrogate to themselves the right to become government, court, jury, witnesses, and thus proceed to commit murder. It is diabolical. It is hellish. It puts government, society, and the church at the mercy of hobgoblins of the underworld. We must admit of no exceptions. There are none." extermination of Negroes, the failure of the Chinese Republic, the incapacity of India for self-rule, the failure of Russian Revolution. When in other days the world lied, it was to a world that expected lies and consciously defended them; when the world lies today it is to a world that pretends to be true." Whereat a white friend, with whom Dr. DuBois purport to be talking, makes the following comment: "In other words, according to you, white folk are about the meanest and lowest on earth."

MEMPHIS, TENN., being the strategic center of a large territory holding thousands and thousands of Baptists represented pastorally by hundreds of Baptist preachers, has been in the wisdom of President Williams singled out as a strategic meeting place for the Baptist pastors of three states, namely: Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee, for a great conference of understanding and projection of denominational affairs on Tuesday, April 3, 1923. There is another reason that distinguishes Memphis, and singles it out for this honor and that reason is that Memphis, was one of the most loyal supporters of the National Baptist Convention and the admn'straction of President Morris of any large Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our friends for the beautiful floral offerings and sympathy extended to us, during the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother. Mr. A. White, Mr. and Mrs. L.

During the upheaval, Memphis was a bulwark of defense and offense wherever the denomination needed either. Memphis stands as true today as back yonder in in the troublous days of yore when true courage stood out boldly for people's 'rule' and 'denominational prestige over board impudence and arrogance. Arkansas and Mississippi ppl and Tennessee ought to pour their pastors onto the great Bluff City for one of the biggest and most significant conferences that President Williams will be able to muster anywhere, in all this country.

The other day Miss A was on her way to visit a certain home where both an infant boy and a young man resided; Miss B balled Miss A and said, "Kiss Junior for for me." Miss A, not knowing which of these two ma'es was Junior, was afraid that she might not kiss the right one; therefore she did not comply. Two white newspapers, the St. Louis, Missouri, Post-Dispatch and the Toledo, Ohio. Times, commend the Supreme Court's reversal of convictions of Arkansas peons, constitu ing a victory for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which defended the men. Says the Post-Dispatch editorially on February 25th: We dissent from the doctrine of Federal interference in state cases, but there is some ground for satisfaction in the action of the United States Su-preme Court, which remanded the cases of Negroes convicted of participation in the Elaine (Ark.) riots. The ground for remanding, was that the Negroes were not given a fair hearing. Fourteen Negroes and five white men were killed in the rioting, which by nearly all accounts, was started by the whites. The Arkansas formula in such cases seems to consist in hanging the Negroes who escape the bullets. The Toledo Times saws, in and editorial of February 22nd: In ordering fair trials for five Negroes under death sentenced for murder the Supreme Court holds that where a state has failed to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens, it is the duty of the federal court to intervene. Two dissenting judges, Melteynolds and Sutherland—claimed that the effect of the decision would be to delay the just punishment of criminals, but will it? Isn't it more likely to state courts to conduct trials fairly in order to avoid interference on the part of the federal courts? Still admitting the contention of Justice McReynolds, we fail to see why it is sufficient grounds for the Supreme Court to withhold the protection which the constitution guarantees every American citizen. The disentending judges claim that it is the state's duty and not the federal government's; to assure a fair trial. Quite true, but what if the state neglects its duty, does that neglect deprive the citizen of his constitutional rights? Colored citizens in states like Arkansas where the race feeling runs high, will feel a greater sense of security in knowing that the strong arm of Uncle Sam stands between them and prejudiced courts. That every day and in every way, Miss Laura Rawles is getting younger and younger? That a company of colored people, with Miss L. Rawles as reader, Rev. Pope as speaker, Mr. W. E. Gray as pianist and E. M. Barnes as soloist and manager, rendered, at the home of Mayor Kemp, a program which was very much appreciated? This was a special meeting of the Friend's Church which was endeavoring, to collect $100.00 with which to improve Southland Institute of Arkansas. Rev. Pope expressed to that audience that the work they were doing was as much or more the.r duty as it was qurs. That when the manager of the program was introduced to Judge Carl Davis, one of our local judges, he appeared somewhat surprised because the manager did not personally know him; but when the judge was informed that Police Courts had no charma in them, he could account for the necessity of an introduction? Rev. J. Reeves Passed To His Reward. After, a few days of illness with the flu, at Mason City, Iowa, Rev. J. Reeves passed into rest, while time and eternity will estimate his reward and be ready to reckon with him on the crown- Ministers Will Hold 'On the fourth Sunday, in April at St.' Paul A. M. E. Church, The Wichita Ministerial League consisting of all colored evangelical pastors and ministers of the city will observe Law Enforcement and Observance Sunday. A program consisting of addresses by leading men of the city with music by Wichita talent will be a feature of the meeting which is held annually for the purpose of tanigbly recording the fact that the colored population of Wichita, stands firmly for law and order in the community. Chester A. Conner, sheriff of Sedgwick County, will be one of the speakers. Representatives of all civic, social, fraternal and religious organizations of, the city together with the leading men and women of the community will be invited to participate in the meeting. At the last meeting of the league a committee conatiting of W. L. Hutcherson, executive secretary of The Water Street Y. M. C. A.; Rev. R. L. Pope, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church; Rev. Walton Brown, pastor of The Fifteenth Street Methodist; and Rev. B. C. Rannavalona, assistant pastor of Calvary, Baptist Church, was appointed by Rev. H. H. Edmond, president of the League to make arrangements for the meeting which last year brought together one of the largest representative groups of citizens ever assembled in Wichita. ing day. He was a successful pastor and moderator for a number of years in Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa. He was loving and lovable, filled with a zeal for the advancement of the kingdom of God. He died Tuesday evening. March 6, after about nine days' illness and a stroke of apoplexy which ended in his death. He loved young men and would step back at any time to let the young man step forward. Yes, he would do more than that, he would push or help him go forward. He thought much of the field wherever he latored." and did his best to make real the kingdom of God. His vision was clear: his opportunities utilized and the community blessed. The Kansas brethren felt his death so keenly that they were agreeably disposed to have a representative at his burial last Sunday at Enid, Okla., and Bro. H. T. Sims was selected and spent the day with the family and relatives who were present from Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma. He had served as moderator in the Enid'District for 12 yaers; so there were many loved ones present. For the lack of a proper understanding, the funeral service was postponed until Monday at 2;30 p. m. At this time the best and most noble deeds of Rev. Reeves were enumerated and set up as a standard for young men to follow, and which could only be attained to by much prayer, patience, suffering and love. Words of condolence from the State and Southwestern Districts were read, with many other resolutions and telegrams. New Field of Labor. Mr. Geo. E.

There was a very small attendance at Bethlehem Baptist Church, Sunday on account of a pouring down rain all day. A faithful few of the B. Y. P. U. members didn't mind the weather, Sunday evening. They met at the usual hour; having a wonderful lesson on the fall of man. For the past two Sundays the Bethlehem S. S., has been enrolling new members. They hope to have a great Sunday School. Our President, Sster C. Daniels, of the Home Mission Circle, will hold a business meeting Friday afternoon to plan new work for the uplifting of the mission. Those who have been indisposed on account of flu, are up and getting out again. We are looking for our partor, Rev. J. S. King, in from Sedan, Kansas, the first of the week. The Sunday School members will give a social the 17th to build up their treasury. The Study Course meets every Thursday night of the week and study their lessons for Sunday; so that they can get more out of the lesson. This coruse belongs to the B. Y. P. U. The Willing and Ready members gave a supper last Thursday evening for the benefit of their section—Captain, Mrs. Ruth Wheaton. Mrs. A. F. Greene will give a birthday dinner in honor of her son, Ellworth Greene of Parson, Kansas on the 17th. Mrs. Lucile Smith and grandson, Taylor, are still on the sick list. Mrs. Janie Middleton went to Chanute, Kansas, Saturday evening on business. The Independence Basket Ball Team that played the All Star B. B. Team here Thursday night, defeated our boys. The scores were eleven and fifteen in favor of Independence. Our boys played them hard and made them work to win. Mrs. Mabel Samora's little boy is ill. The teachers of the Sunday School have started to practicing the children for Easter. The seige of sickness that has prevailed in our city and Ft. Riley, has not decreased very much. There are still quite a few cases of both "flu" and measles. Mrs. Ella Mae Lewis who had been confined to her home for the past several months, passed away Tuesday, Feb. 27th at 2:30 p.m., and was laid to rest on Monday, March 5th. Mrs. Lewis leaves to mourn, a husband, a son, who is in Canada, and a very much devoted daughter, Mrs. Verda Harness, who has been a member of the 2nd Baptist Church for the past several years. All members of her church extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family, and would say to Mrs. Harness: 'lean that much the stronger on the Master's arm,' and even though she has lost her best earthly friend, there is One Who has promised to be a mother to the motherless; and His promises have never failed. Mr. Carl Harness, who has been in Des Moines, Iowa, for several months has returned home to be by his wife's side in time of her bereavement, and to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lewis. Miss Ada Fisher of Kansas City, Mo., is spending a visit with friends, here. Mr. Bruce Hammond of this city, and Miss Mae Glenn of Hill City, were happily united in wedlock on Wednesday, Feb. 27th at the parsonage of Ward Chapel A. M. E. Church. They were wed in the afternoon and entertained at a lovely reception at Mrs. Franklyn's on West 13th St. in the evening; afterwhich they glided and pranced 'till midnight at Oddfellows' Hall. On Sunday, March 4th, after having excellent services all day, Rev. G. T. Raimey, undoubtedly, inspired by the Holy-Ghost, delivered a wonderful sermon. After having St. John 12:25-33, read for a lesson, he chose his text from the 32nd verse "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." Rev. Raimey labored hard to show us that if Christ is to draw us unto Him, that we must separate ourselves from the world and become Christ-like. He missed nobody in delivering this sermon, showing each thinking person their weakness and short-coming. Now, in our prayers, we ask God to strengthen us where we are weak, so who is it, on finding where he or she is weak, that will not try to overcome a weakness? If not, how is God to strengthen us where we are weak? In the 26th verse of the above mentioned lesson Christ says: "If any man serve Me let him follow Me." Then if we in our weak wry, either not knowing or simply neglecting, stray from fol- 1 lowing Christ, why is it that, when one of God's servants, who has been sent to preach us the word shows us plainly that we are not following Christ, we will not neglect and take heed to what has been said to us; then prove that we have profited by having found our weakness.

We are still gathering in sheaves for our Sunday School. School opened at 9:45; the weather was somewhat inclement, yet it found our Supt., Mr. J. B. Brown and teachers busy rushing into their places to see what they could do for their pupils. The Sunday School was well attended; each pupil seemed anxiously waiting for their turn to absorb the lesson. We have a live Sunday School Our Supt., is putting forth every effort to make it what it should be. Our teachers are always at their best in making the lesson plain to the tots. Subject: "Jesus in Gethsemane;" a great lesson was reviewed by the pastor; much was derived from the review. He made the subject plain to us. Parents, are you sending your children to S. School? We need them; God wants them. Let it not be your mistake, if they miss the mark. The first step for them to make toward the kingdom, is starting them to Sunday School. The greatest motto of the Sunday School today is "The World Mo es on t.e feet of Little Children." Since this is true, let each of you parents see that your child is in some Sunday School. We were glad to have our pastor, Rev. H. H. Edmond with us last Sunday in the Sunday School, after being in Newton, for a while where he is carrying on a series of me tings, helping in the cause of bringing souls into the cause to help build the kingdom of our Master. Our last quarterly meeting proved to be a great success; one of the best that we have had and succeeded in raising all our money for the conference year. Members and friends are glad to welcome our pastor's wife, Mrs. E. J. Edmond, with us again after three months spent with her parents in Oklahoma City. Glad to report all the sick much improved—Mrs. E. P. Taylor, Mrs. O. A. Briley, Bro. H. Hood. We are always glad to have Mrs. Duke, the matron of Phillis Wheatley Home and her children in our school and services. The N. O.

Tabernacle Baptist Corner 8th and Water, Rev. E. Leon Nails, Pastor. Our services were far from normal, Sunday, because of the inclementy of the weather; never-the-less, the faithful few found their way to the church. A good lessonn study in Sunday School was impressive. At 11 o'clock the pastor spoke to us from the subject: "Yoked with Jesus." We started our revival then. We were also graced with the presence of our dear Moderator, Rev. Rogers of whom we were proud to have come pass and look in on us. Our revival is on; the pastor is being assisted by the Rev. A. L. Branch of Chanute, Kans. Come and hear him, you will enjoy listening to him. Strangers are always welcome to our church. Sister Susan Roane of our church is still on the sick list. A cordial welcome to all newcomers. St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. Our Sunday services were very fair on last Sunday; we were simply there the people seemed to have decided to stay home as the Good Lord was about his business, sending a refreshflow. But a few faithful ones were out, the regulars of course. Sunday School was good 30 in session, with the pastor presiding. Good services at 11:00 a tor preached as if it were his last time. Union services conducted by the pastor; grand session, lesson taught by Bro. W. T. Battles, subject: "A life worth living;" was well discussed and enjoyed by all present. Young Brother J. D.

Mrs. Wilson was all smiles, just think of it; her husband preaching the Gospel. There is still a lot of sickness in our community. The "Flu" seems to be the dreaded invader, and yet we thank God for all. The pastor is a little ill yet with this waking "Flu." The young converts will meet for a training in prayer meeting services Thursday night and a great time is expected. We have several persons, just entered the church and we are anxious to meet all of them in our Wednesday night prayer meeting, which is growing and we thank God for that. St. Paul Notes. The rainy spell of last Sunday did not prevent a fair sized audience from attending the services at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, when Mr. DeFrants of the Y. M. C. A., gave a good address and brought many interesting facts regarding the Negro interracial proposition. The Sunday School children are preparing for a fine Easter program. Next Sunday, the 25th, will be Palm Sunday and appropriate subjects and music will be the order of the day. At 11 o'clock, the Heroines of Jericho will have their annual service. At 3 o'clock the Knights of Pythias will also attend servict. At which time the Rev. Pope will speak. Special music by the choir.

C., March 9.—The colored people of this city will not hear Billy Sundy speak during his six weeks' religious campaign here. As is usual, in the Sundy program, they are not permitted to attend the regular services of the evangelist, but the Negroes were offered a separate meeting in the tabernacle for one of the open Sunday mornings. Pastors of the colored churches at a meeting of the Ministerial Union declined to give up their Sunday morning services in order that their members might hear Sundy preach under the conditions suggested. The Union, however, expressed itself as in sympathy with the work which Sundy is doing.

Let the masses arrive at proper appreciation of the respect due our teachers and make it mat- ter of individual racial duty to see that such respect is accorded them. On the other hand, it is well that teachers themselves, charged with a high responsibility; The traming of a young race which must rise to a higher heights or fell within the next fitty years to a position far down in in the acale of human endeavors, ful- ly appreciate the fact that they are public servants, the quasi-parents of the raec.

Such individual atrempts to assert the superiority of the in- tellectual movement of some group of persons often swayed merely by a pcsaing touch of egotistic desire to whine In the lime light. of publicity, are doing more to lower the true standard of education as well as lose for educational institutions and thcse who Lave to do with their manage- ment that high respect which is and ought to to be paid by the masses to the educational forces of the country. No wonder there is a growing wide- spread demand that public s:hcol teachers be professing Christians, qualified to give religious instruction to their pupils, No wonder that there jis wm growing wide spread demand that Instruction from the Bible be a part of the daily curriculum. These demands are but a reault of the con- tinuslly growing efforts to place in- tellectual and physical developments over the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and always they must fail. There wos never a time in the history of the world when the program of any sec uler organization being ét a school supported by the general public for the purpose of inculcating mental training or the most vita! and com- plex pohtical social or civic body stood so far in advance of the church that it could sucessfully iasue « chel- lenge to a Christian worker to give up devotion to the church as a tan- gible qualification for work in pro- moting a program fostered by a pub- hie school or dictate policies for Chris- tisns, After all (t is a serious ques- tion as to whether or not the gener- al athletic program of the grade achpol is not interfering with the general studies of students who at best at an early age must leave achool life to take up the responsi- bilities of wege earners. Those race organizations throughout the country that are developing the athlet’c phases of race life under the proper auspices cannot be too highly com- mended. Attention to the physical man has ever been the basis upon which strong reces have erected for racial grandeur, and to Impart such knowledge ta young men and women of the race, Is absolutely needful; however, such knowledge is not of such vast importance that it is ez sential that orgeniaztion need strive to stir unfriendly compet'ti-n and rivalry, Forces connected with tte Water Street Branch Y, M.C.
