THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE State Historical Society, W. E. Bacon TH FOR T Vol. 15, No. 2, FEW FACTS OF CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH Still They Leave. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL., May 4.-Employment bureaus of Chicago, dealing with the distribution of colored workers, are receiving applications for work, from men and women in the South, at the rate of about 500 a week. The letters of these people are frequently pitiful. The story is told of one colored man who had purchased his ticket for the North, and a prominent white business man seeing him at the station waiting for his train, grabbed the ticket from the black man's hand and deliberately tore it up and threw the fragments in his face. The man had the courage to take the matter up with the railroad officials, and the white offender was put under a peace bond. In a number of these letters the request is made: "Please do not mention my name, as I fear they might lynch me." Those desiring to come North have no fear of hard work, in fact, many of them have asked for work in the steel mill districts, according to the letters. The director of the employment bureau of one of the large institutions of this city, has recently come from the South, and the experience of seeing the packed trains "heading North," he says, is a sight never to be forgotten. Coming over the various through lines from the South to the gateway, the migrants branch out in many directions, the majority going to urban employment, and recently quite a number listening to the call of of the farm. During the months of May and June, when the weather will be softened into the gentle breezes that whisper: "Welcome North," it is predicted that the railroads will have to furnish not only special coaches, but in some instances special trains. The people are coming from practically every southern state, North Carolina, where living conditions between the races are better than in most states, furnishing the minimum. Georgia, Alabama, Tevas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Arkansas Florida, and Tennessee, are furnishing the largest quotas of migrants. "Go To High School Go To College" Movement. This educational campaign was initiated by the Negro fraternity "Alpha Phi Alpha" in 1920, when the fraternity began to observe more and more the many opportunities for educational advancement that were being overlooked by our race. This week, the "Educational Week" "Alpha Phi Alpha" with the help of all leading community workers, is striving to get in touch with all Negro boys and girls of the nation to do as Kelly Miller says:—"Urge every colored youth to take advantage of the fullest educational opportunity that lies within his reach, or grasp, by means of a campaign, not for the collection of dollars, but to show the importance of attending the high school, college and University." At the age of fourteen, much attention must be given the child to prevent distraction from his school work. At this age "hundreds drop out of school for the sake of a few penn'es. Education pays. And there is no doubt about this." Seven colored students have left the High School of Wichita, in the last month. Several have stopped their work in the Intermediate schools without even a good "alibi." May every teacher, preacher, community leader of Wichita, help "Alpha Phl Alpha" to influence all our boys and girls to do all school work possible for racial and personal benefits. Let us all listen to the Educational Sermons to be preached at Sunday morning services at the churches of the city. STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING. Since May 1st, the city has been afire with wholesome instruction from the best experts of the world on Sunday School work and developments of church life. The Speeches, Demonstrations, and the Departmental Work are Gospel truths and methods enough to bring the Kingdom much nearer in the future than ever. There was so much, and it was all good until one was puzzled as to what was best to do; but the dawn of new day is at hand, and we could see its rays. We hope to give some of the details in next issue. Missionary Harrison Of S. H. R. M. B. D. Association, Speaks. Christian Mission is the essential duty of the New Testament Church. Near two thousand years ago, the N. T. Church received its marching orders. Matt. 28:19, 20; Mark 16:15, 16; Luke 24:47, 48; Acts 1:S. The duty of the N. T. C., is to these Scriptures but when we take survey of the moral and unres.hed conditions of the world, it seems as the church has made about a mile journey from the cross. Notwithstanding, it has, and is doing a mighty work. But it requires a N. T. Churches and N. T. Pastors to put this Mission Program "over the top." There are much imperfections in our ranks, which need and must be overcome before we will succeed. If Christian Missions are Christian duties given by Christ; then let the Clurches hold the code of prayers and finance while the chosen go forth workers are doing the needed and appointed work. We are now at Hill City, Kansas, on our third quarterly tour since Aug. The following churches visited:—Waubunsce, Empor'a, Strong City, Newton, Manhattan, 2nd B. C., Junction City, Abilene, Salina, Ellsworth, Herrington, Russell, Ellis, Plainville', Mt. Olive, Bogue, Nicodemus, Hill City, to Stockton.

(By The Associated Negro Press) MIAMI, FLA., May 4.—William Jenning Bryan, perpetual motion candidate for President, and newcomer to these parts, is being upbraided by the press and public in general for his sophisticated views on the race question recently, in which he declares with many southerners and others that "this is a white man's country." When they wish political preferment in the South, they always attack the colored people. NOTICE!!

The demand for Colored workers in the North continues in the big industrial centers. There has been considerable comment with reference to the recent address of Judge Ebert H. Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, on the subject of letting down the bars of immigration. Judge Gary, in a subsequent statement to the press, declared that it was not his purpose to open the immigration gates without restriction, but that the immigration law "as passed" by Congress is bad. While there has been no formal statement on the subject of the U. S. Steel Corporation using colored workers, as urged in the recent telegram of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, it is authoratively known that the subsidiary companies of the steel corporation maintain the "open door" for colored workers in all of the plants, in all sections of the country, and there is a present demand for workers "of the right kind," and many are being employed. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES That faith without works is naught? Many of the people of today have high hopes and faith for better conditions for the Negro, but are not doing one thing to make conditions better. That one of the prevailing evils existing between the two races is one that is very hard to eradicate! The difficulty of solving these problems is due mainly to the lack of proper thinking in both races. This evil, stated briefly is the continuous and everlasting efforts on the part of the whites to minimize the Negro. This may be done, in many cases unconsciously; never-the-less, it is true that the Negro is always shown up as inferior. There must be a solution for this evil, and it is that a new man must be made in both races; one in the white race to recognize the brotherhood of the Negro and one in the Negro race to accept it. Appreciated Gift. (By The Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4. Announcement was made at The Howard University today of the pledge of Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone who conduct a large manufacturing establishment at St. Louis, Missouri, to the Endowment Fund of the School of Medicine of The Howard University. The Malones are liberal givers to every cause in behalf of the Negro Race, contributing in a large way to the Y. M. C. A., and schools conducted in behalf of the Negro. The pledge of Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars by Mr. and Mrs. Malone is the largest single pledge made by Colored persons toward the Howard Medical School Endowment Fund and is as large as any other pledge made except the conditional gift of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars made by the General Education Board, itself. SPECIAL!! There will be special meeting of the Wichita Negro Business League, at the Water Street Branch Y, M. C. A., at 8 p. m., Tuesday, May 8th. There are several very important matters to be considered. No man can afford to absent himself from this meeting. By REV. J. W. HAYES, delivered to Ministerial League, Wichita, Kans. Brother President, We have been asked to open the discussion, "Negro Immigration and Ite Adjustment:" Negroes are coming North in large numbers both desirable and undesirable. The conditions in the North are in many respects different from what they are in the South, and whether the coming of our people, will be a blessing or a curse will depend upon how they are adjusted to the new conditions. The properly fitting in of these new comers is a problem we are, facing and must face. In the first place, the religious atmosphere, which is the basic principle in the social structure, is different. The spirit of sceptism is more prevalent in the North. It has been said that the reason for fewer infidels atheists, skeptics in the South, is due to the faith of our fathers. The fact that the religious atmosphere is different is seen in the fact that so many who were at least church goers in the South neither join nor go here. The task of the Church, Therefore, is to remind these people that while the environments may be a little different, true religion and God are ever the same. They Must be Turned Churchward, or We are Doomed. Again the educational outlook is is different, a little more intellectual, perhaps and perhaps a little less Christian. The southern Negro in the main, is used to Negio schools and Negro teachers and in many respects under Negro control, while in the North we have both separate and mixed schools. That both of these have their points of advantages and disadvantages, no intelligent person will deny. It is not the present purpose, however, to enter into detail on these points, suffice it to state, personally our ideal is, mixed school, mixed teachers and mixed control. But, sin c things are as they tr, we who live under some, at least more favorable conditions, must seek to get the new comer to take things as they find them and whatever is to be adjusted let us work thoughtfully patiently, inter-racially and co-operatively, to righten them. For an instance, It is unfortunate when those who have been used to seperate schools, come into a community where they are not and seek to establish them. Gary, Indiana, is an example. There is always one disadvantage and often at least, two. The permanent disadvantage is the idea of segregation and the often disadvantage is incompetent teachers There is no such thing as colored Christianity or colored (true) education. And then we have the social problem—Social conditions being different, there is a grave danger of thoughtless strangers oversleeping the social bounds in his unwise attempt to exercise his misunderstood social freedom. His feeling of equality often cause him to forget the common courtesies due his seemingly more favored brother. To illustrate, one needs but observe our public institutions and conveyances in which both groups meet. Here if prejudice and self-assertedness control our reason and better judgment, racial hatred is intensified and racial clashes will be the result. Freedom means the permission to exercise the right of a man but never to invade the rights of other men nor be unmindful of what is mine and what is thine. Next, the problem of thrift—The people must be taught to work six days is as binding as the command to rest one. Save and invest in homes is citizen making. Then the problem of Law Observance—Law is a rule of action and we must learn to live by the rule of the society of which we are a part if that rule is in harmony with the law of God. Farther, the political problem—The ballot box is a dangerous thing in the hands of an ignorant man. To know how to vote and to have the manhood Five Cents Per Copy to vote convictions, regardless, to promises or money, is the demand of the hour. The fact that the comers are both of the desirable and undesirable classes means an additional task for the church and after all we should thank God for a larger opportunity to serve in kingdom building. Having thus opened the subject, the following suggestions might be of help:The church would do well to have what we now have in our own church, some or all of the following Committees:Lookout Committee, whose business shall be to find these strangers and invite them to church. 2. Housing Committee, whose duty is to point out the houses that are available for rent or purchase. Employment Bureau, whose business shall be to seek employment and inform the newcomers of the same. 4.A Social Committee, whose business shall be to make these newcomers a part of our society. All we have said amounts in the last analysis to about this—Make disciples, in doing that we make citizens, in doing that we make a race, and in doing that we make a nation and "Blessed is that people whose God is the Lord."

KANSAS DELE GATES SEND YOUR NAMES. It is vitally important for every Superintendent and President of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., to be in Hot Springs, Ark., June 19-24, 1923, to see how your own experts put over the program of methods, that will mean much for the development of your work when the messengers return.

Our Supt., is wide-a-wake; always on time to do his best. We are hoping each of you found your way into some Sunday School; we are sure you are not letting these beautiful days go by without turning out to the house of the Lord. Grasp the opportunity while you can. Lesson very interesting on "Ruth, the Faithful Daughter." In this we learned a beautiful lesson on how to be faithful to home and fellowmen. Our pastor reviewed the lesson. Then the superintendent asked some questions for the small children; it is wonderful to see how interested the small children are becoming over these lessons. At 11:30 the pastor preached, reading Jeremish 7.17-28; Matt. 19:10-22. Text, "Jesus in Childhood." He preached as never before; all present enjoyed a wonderful blessing. Seven children were brought up for baptism—How I wish I could have read that sweet story of old, when Jesus was here among men, when He called the little children like lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with Him then. 6:30 Epworth League. This is the place for the young men and women. 8:20 o'clock, the pastor preached another stirring sermon reading St. John 1:1-29. Visitors to our church, are welcome.

St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. Our services were fair on last Sunday. Our Sunday School is progressing under the new Supt. Bro. J. D. Wilson, who gave a very impressive review of the lesson from the blackboard. Our B. Y. P. U., is progressing; our new vice-president is Mrs. Alice Reed. President, E. L. Newton seems to be doing his best to keep life in the Union. We truly regret the loss of Mrs. Lela Sims from the Union by reason of her moving to the state of Missouri; she was quite well informed. Our preaching services on last Sunday were good. As usual, our minister preached two very able sermons morning and evening; we had two accessions. We are moving forward in the Master's Name; when all lots are clear, we mean to start remodeling of our church. Pray for us and come to our prayer meetings on Wednesday evenings. Good time—Join us.—Reporter. Calvary Bapt. Church From Sunday School throughout the day every phase and auxiliary moved in one accord last Sunday and made it a great day. The pastor was relieved of the pleasure of preaching by Rev. Joseph Herring of St. Joseph Mo., who preached two strong sermons. The members rallied near the $1500.00 mark; and still they strive to do more. Truly this is a great people with a great leader. St. Paul Notes. There was a good attendance at all the services throughout the day, including the Sunday School. At 11:00 a. m, Rev, R. L. Pope's sermon was from Matt. 3:19; subject, "Judas Iscariot." His theme was based largely upon the sins of hypocryacy. That it is not enough to profess Christianity but to know and live the life, when we fail to do this we betray and deny the principles of Truth and Christianity. An interesting session of the Sunday School was Leid. At the evening services an eloquent sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. N. J. Johnson of Topeka. The H. Q B. Club entertainment The Baby contest given Monday evening, the 24th was quite a success. Clendolyn Steemer was the prize winner and $150.00 were realized; great interest is centered on our Spring Rally, May 20th.

Missionary Society, Church a nd Lodge stand in need of one. Order today. 1241 Wabash Avenue, Wichita, Kansas. Leavenworth Kansas KEEP THE CHURCH OUT OF THE COURTS. As a CHRISTIAN, and deeply interested in the affairs of the church, of the city and, as I am a member of the great Baptist Denomination, I wish to express my views to my people, in regards to the Baptist church confusion on Broadway. In the first instance I wish to say that the church be kept out of the courts. The Church is the greatest governmental body on the face of the earth, which is made up of God's people, God's chosen people, and God is the Maker of heaven and earth, and God is the head of the church. Instead of the church being brought into the courts, let it be visa vers. All church dissatisfactions should be settled in the church and the church alone; of whatever description they might be. They should never be brought into the courts; the courts are for sinful people and unruly and those who live by the law. But God's people should not be those who live by the law, nor unruly, nor sinful. Christ plainly tells you that you should not take you brother to the courts but that you should settle your disputes among yourselves in a Christian like way. I also wish to say to those who padlocked the doors of the 1st Baptist Church, that you were absolutely wrong. They padlock dives and dens but when it comes to padlocking the church doors of the "Living God," then it is a shame and a disgrace, and it is absolutely wrong. To lock the churches' doors to keep services from going on, is the same as "kicking against the pricks," as was spoken to Paul when he was persecuting the church; when you persecute God's church, then you are fighting against the Godhead, and you cannot win. It matters not to me the cause of the trouble nor who started the trouble, it should have been settled in the church. Istand 'pat' for the church of the "Living God," keeping its doors open; I stand for the services to ever go on. I take issue against the church doors of the First Baptist, ever being padlocked, and of the church affairs ever going into the courts to be settled. The colored citizens who stand for right, will agree that the church should never have been padlocked, nor of the affairs of the church ever being taken into the courts. They will stand against this sort of thing; they will be for the padlocks being removed and never being put on again. We must keep the church out of the courts. Mr. Kempie Davis, the husband of Mrs. Mildred Davis, who was shot and killed by Mrs. Anna Blanton-Kennedy some time ago, is over from Topeka, Kansas. Mrs. Amanda Brooks of W. 7th St., who has been ill the past three weeks, is rapidly improving. Mrs. Nellie McClanham on Garfield, who has been ill the past few weeks is rapidly on the mend. Mrs. and Mrs. E. Rodgers of Lowemount, was in Leavenworth, Monday. James Crawford the taxi driver, while backing his cars off the street car tracks Sunday afternoon, April 29th, was struck by a South bound fifth avenue car between Reese and South St., on 5th avenue. The left front wheel of the machine was torn off and caused quite an excitement. Rev. Simmons of Kansas City, Mo., preached morning and night at the Sunflower Baptist Church. The B. Y. P. U. Tag day at the Independent Baptist Church, Sunday, April 29th, was a wonderful success. The neat sum of $41.79 was realized. The services in general were good all day with the pastor Rev. Burton preaching in the morning; theme was "The Divinity of Jesus Christ," the text being found in St. John 1:1-2. Good crowd all day. The Sunday School is progressing nicely and is doing some excellent work. A large number of scholars attends regularly each Sunday. Generally speaking, the Independent Baptist Church as a whole, with its auxiliaries, is doing excellent work. Dr. Dwyer, dentist, of Atchison, who makes two trips a week to our city to take care of the colored people's teeth, will open up branch parors here in the building over the Wyatt Undertaking Co., at 204 Delaware.

PORCH FURNITURE POLITICIANS AND RACE LEADERS may struggle to arrive at conclusions as to how best to promote the political interests of the race, and such struggles will continue to remain unfruitful until an honest effort is made to meet the Negro voter fairly and urge his cooperative massing in support of the political leadership of his race, and indicate such support by launching a solid black vote in accordance with the best thought of that leadership. It is not sufficient that a black man be beaten at the polls when seeking political office merely due to the fact that certain leaders have personal differences towards the proffered candidate. The Negro vote must be registered and voted solid in order that all political forces be made aware of its potentiality, and this in spite of personal opinions and petty feelings which may exist against an individual having enough racial pride to dare move forward, demanding such political patronage.

Come again. er appreciation of the general scheme of things as dictated by a qualified leadership in educational, press and religious circles must be the aim of the masses if the race will move forward. The human race has always had an instinctive realization of the importance of following a well qualified developed leadership without fear, and not until by close application and thought, the masses of the Negro race has arrived at an appreciation of such a course can it measure arms with mighty powers that stand in the way, erecting barriers against its further progress. LIKE ALL MOVEMENTS based upon a petty degree of ignorance, unpatriotic lack of appreciative thought, and selfish conception of its force, the Ku Klux Klan is steadily gnawing at the vitals of its own narrow heart while the Negro and other forces which it denounced, steadily move on conflent that the great mind of American Citizenship is still as in the time of Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and millions who have made America a land worth-while. Exit Ku Klux Klan born in the darkness of a damable sense of unfairness, it bids to perish thru the agency of GRAFT the latent spirit which gave it birth. Bishop R. E.
