Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15,No.8, MISS H. Q. BROWN DELIVERED A WONDERFUL ADDRESS. CITY FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS, HONORED BY A DISTINGUISHED GUEST. Wednesday evening proved to be an evening of much mental development as we sat at the feet of the noted Miss Hallie Q. Brown, National President, who spoke nobly of the development of the race in this country. Seated on the rostrum were Mrs. F. O. Miller, President of the City Federation of Women's Clubs and Mrs. Wm. Bowers, President of the Board of the Phillis Wheatley Children's Home. Mrs. Bowefe, in a few appropriate remarks, presented Mrs. F. O. Miller, who introduced Miss Hallie Q. Brown, with impressive words of her worth to the race. A trio by Miss D. L. Sims, Brown H. T. Geeder, and Jewel Brown, lent sweetness to the occasion by rushing in a glee song, honoring Miss Hallie, which was well taken by the audience and Miss Brown. She was not a preacher but she selected a standard from the Scripture for the basis of her address. Then she reviewed the noble deeds of women, beginning at Deborah, the woman who was strong enough for God to use when He could not find a man to defend His people against the mighty king's invasion. Esther, who led the race out of the mob and saved them from being lynched. Devoted Ruth, who followed her mother-in-law and accepted her God and such a noble character. Joanna of Arc, who heard the call of God to save her people and led such a reform, that has made things better even until this day. She told of her standing on the spot near the monument of her betrayer, showing him crowned while she is executed. Miss Friedson, the Georgia woman, asking equal justice for the prisoners. Florence Nightingale's work on the field of battle with her lantern, giving comfort to the suffering. Clara Barton and her wonderful work for uplift. Harriet Beecher Stowe and the wonderful impression made for the abolishing of slavery. Francis B. Wells. and how well she wrote for good of humanity. Phillis Wheatley, the little, slave girl, bought from a market, but became America's first Poetess. Mysteriously nineteen times Harriett Moses returned South after her escape bringing out 900 slaves to freedom. Her home is where John Brown made his final plans for the attack on Harper's Ferry. She founded the home for the aged and helpless women of the race and when dying said to her women. "Stand together." Isabella, born in Louisiana or Africa, would creep up behind her grandmother and ask: "What are you looking at?" when she would be sitting out behind the house watching the Stara. She may not have known the names of the stars as we, but she must have known that God said in His word that the stars would fight for His people and they did. There are but two sides: right and wrong, and God is on the right side and you must stand out boldly for the right, if not God will curse you. We don't hide our criminals, but we don't believe in lynch law. This Isabella was broadhearted enough to stay with her master one year after freedom, then he did not want her to go, but she, by night, walked away, and the first nice, feather bed to which she was assigned by the never-to-be-forgotten Quakers, she could not make up her mind to get in it, so she slept under it. She met her God in a revival at the A. M. E. Zion Ch., and accepted Him, then she did not want to carry the old slave name, so she asked God for a name and since she had no home, He gave her "Sojourney." Her power of reasoning, thought and oratory defeated Senators in the great temperance debates and on "Woman's Suffrage," so the truth of God was felt from her words, so she asked the Lord for another name since other CITY MUST HAVE A NEW HOSPITAL Plans are now being laid for a new hospital for the city. The Negras Doctors are now coming to themselves and have concluded that for the good of humanity, there must be some things done in common. It does not make any difference if you can get all the accommodation needed at the other hospitals, the race should have one of its own for a number of reasons. First, independency, next, opportunity for our trained nurses and for the training of more nurses, jobs for many others. They are your patients and you should have a free and absolute control of them. It gives a broader scope for research work, as no other race can understand another race, like the members of that race. All are yours: patients, the doctors, nurses and the building; if you will only have it that way. A meeting will be held today to reach some definite understanding, then the public will be asked to back up these worthy doctors who are planning or our welfare. people had two names and He gave "Truth." The white women sent for her to be present, but when she arrived, she was too, black for them, as some people now think and acted as though the black would rub off. She told how she won the debate in Akron, Ohio, when the white women had given up to the powerful reasoning of the little Baptist Minister, who was so highly educated abroad. She used theseword: "That little man a settin' over dare, must forgot that God and a woman saved the world without using a single man. She turned the tide, and the women won; so she is one of the first woman suffrage advocates. Miss Brown told of her visit to her home at Battle Creek, Mich., and the inspiration gained. She passed away reading about her mansion. She told of the little girl born in Baltimore, Md., and about the wonderful poem of Longfellow, picturing the Negro as the black giant asleep, and about the beautiful words written by the girl showing how the black giant had helped this country and never raised his finger against the 'eligless women and children, while his master went to war to bind him tighter. Francis Ellen Watson Harper, became one of the greatest lecturer on temperance in this country; stand in the class with Susan B. Anthony. She reviewed the story of the mothers of different nationalities encouraging their sons: the Jew boys to sell goods; the Irish boy to build and sail ships; the white boy to organize and run banks; the black boy to do nothing. The Negro mother impresses her children that they are nothing and never will be anything.—The women's clubs are changing this and mean to send the talent of their race as far as their ability will allow them. Then they can see that character and ability will carry them anywhere in this world. We don't want social equality nor white supremacy, but we do want equal accommodation for equal money. You fight God when you fight color, God made us. Who gave any man the monopoly of the things of this world, that he should fight the will of God? The Negro has fought in every battle for the U.S., and never against it. He has carried the flag and it has never touched the ground in his possession, though he was some time shot to pieces. Is that enough to give him his rights here? The strength of this organization of women is of 40 states with 40 States Clubs with 100,000 strong. If you touch a woman in Georgia, Florida, or anywhere, in the U.S., the women out. West will all know it. She gave several instances where the Women's Federation had saved the life of their women: The eighteen year old girl in Washington, who was sentenced to be hanged, who had never been in S. S., reared in the slums of Georgia and never had a chance. How the letters from all over this country stopped the bill presented by Senator Caper, concerning the inter-marriage of feeble-minded, diseased and blacks and whites. She told of the wonderful achievements at the Fred Douglas WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 15, 1923. FLOOD DAMGED WICHITA. The flood water caused many to leave their homes and many suffered great lossage to property. The breaking of the Chism Creek and Canal brought volumes of water from the north-west corner, which covered practically, one-fourth of the city. In many places it was three or four feet. L'Ouverture School, the Mid-Continent Tire Factory, and St. Paul A. M. E. Church are some of the places occupied by the flood sufferers. It was an occasion where the people thought it fun to wade, up and down the streets, so in big groups they traveled the streets. Last Sunday was a pretty day and those same people thought it too bad to attend some church. They could stand the rain and wade the water for fun, but could not attend the church and the sun shining. Remember. God's got His eyes on YOU. FT. SCOTT NEWS. Rev. M. J. Smith and messengers returned home Saturday, reporting the greatest session of the Neosho Valley District S. S., and B. Y. P. U. Convention, held with the New Hope Baptist Church of Chanute, Kansas. The Convention was inspiring, every way. It was the first session ever held separate from the Association, and it proved to be better. It gave the younger people a chance; there were 66 messengers, representing 15 schools. The Convention appropriated One hundred ($100.00) Dollars for Missions and Education and out of its public offerings sent its President to the National S. S., and B. Y. P. U.

The quartett by Miss D. L. Sims, Mesdames Jewel Brown. H. T. Geeder and Thos. Fines, was a hit for the occasion. Little Misses Virginia Berry, pianist and Lucia Hill, violinist performed wonderfully. Atty. Jas. A. Spears, the Secretary for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., presented a proposition asking that the body assembled send a telegram to Gov. Jonathan Davis; but from the information by Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Atty. Guy had already taken up the matter with the governor and had a letter from him stating that the Birth of the Nation would be prohibited from showing in Kansas. Mrs. Lula Hill made the motion and was appointed chairman, with Mesdames W. L. Hutcherson, Aman da Hathmon, Horace Duke and F. O. Miller, to send a special letter congratulating the governor for the stand. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR.

(Preston News Service) PALM BEACH, FLA.-June 15-It is said that Henry Simmons was disliked by the whites in this section because he was an outspoken man and frequently assailed the southern whites about the way they treated American Negroes. Simmons was a native of the Bahama Islands. He is said to have been an industrious man and was well liked by his employer. A few days ago a white policeman, a native of Staunton, Va., was mysteriously murdered. This gave the disgruntled whites a pretext to wreak vengeance upon Simmons. They quietly formed a mob and last Wednesday night spirited Simmons to a wounds along a seldom traveled road hanged him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. The next day a white deliveryman was passing the place and reported that he saw a Negro's body hanging to a tree several miles from the city. Officers went out and cut the body down and brought it to the county morgue, where a coroner's inquest was held and a verdict was returned that the man had met his death at the hands of unknown persons. Just what steps county and state officials will take to bring the lynchers to justice is yet unknown as no statement in official circles has been issued in this connection. REGAINS HER RIGHT MIND. Ada Hammons, a young Negro woman woman who was found wandering in the Union Station in a slightly demented condition since being confined in the county jail has fully recovered her mind. In spite of statement in a local paper to the end that county officials believed that the women had become crazed due to some knowledge of a crime committed from which she was fleeing, and a mystery surrounded her, it was found that she was of one of the best Negro families of Huchuacu, Arizona, and Quebece. La. As the paper goes to press both the husband, I. Hammons of Huchucau, and father J. Taylor of Quebec, are enroute to the city to take care of the woman and her two children. Relatives of the woman were located thru the effort of Rev. R. L. Pope, and Rev. B. C. Rannavalona. Throughout the stay of Mrs. Hammons in the county jail members of the Wichita Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, headed by Mrs. F. O. Miller assisted by Miss Myrtle Hurst, have watched after her welfare. Drs. Five Cents Per Copy GREAT STATE MEETING OF FEDERATION OF COLORED WO- MEN'S CLUBS. With Mrs. Chas. Childs, the President in her proper place and with her usual pleasantness, but outstanding ability for leadership, the meeting was opened Wednesday morning, June 6th at 9:30. Every one was filled with pep for best meeting ever held in the State. The presence of the National President Miss Hallie Q. Brown, was a source of inspiration to all. The meeting was very interesting from every angle. With the exception of the Secretary, all officers were re-elected. The citizens of Fort Scott of both races were very hospitable and made the stay very pleasant and enjoyable. The new feature for this year was the music contest. Topeka received the cup for best music rendered and Kansas City received the cup for raising the most money for charity. In this Contest the following Wichitans won 1st. prizes:—Misses Etoile Pope in piano. LuVerna Hall, voice; Lucia Hill, piano and Dorothy Sims, original compositions for piano and voice.

The State Musical Director voluntarily added two more dollars to Geradine's amount for the unusual work done by her after taking music for about eighteen months. A Trip of Pleasure And Education. Now, that vacation time is here, many are wondering where to go and how to go. We are glad to say that this question has been anticipated and the answer is now presented to us by a new organization of our business men, under the management of Mr. Leo. Frame. Lack of accommodation and discriminations have hitherto marred the pleasures of our vacation trips, and these are the unpleasantness that the Pioneer Stage Line Company have figured a way to successfully overcome. The company plans to start three cars on or about the 15th of June, and will tour through Colorado Springs, Denver, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain, National Park and the Yellowstone National Park. The trip will consume about twenty days and the round trip transportation includes all expenses for passengers except their food. Plenty of time has been figured for fishing, hiking, and sight-seeing; so there will be absolutely nothing for the tourist to worry about. The company will willingly extend the time of the trip to suit the convenience of passengers, majority ruling, and of course with reasonable additional renumeration. Cars will be starting simultaneously from Kansas City, Wichita, and Oklahoma City, and persons who are interested are advised to begin organizing parties now. This is a most progressive movement on the part of the men of our race, and we are certainly glad to congratulate the heads of this enterprise and here's wishing the new company much success.

Now is the opportune time for the Negro Race as a whole, to stop the habit of sitting down crying what the other fellow is doing to us, and consider what the race is doing to itself by treating one another so mean. The race should stop 'hollering' about the other fellow won't give us a chance, because we are losing time by doing that. The thing to do is to start making time, make every minute count by doing good, show them we are as good as they; it is not enough to say that we are this and we are that, but show the world that we are made of sterner stuff; and God Almighty, Who is a just God, will give us our just deserve when He sees we are able to stand it.

We had a good Sunday School; after that, we had praise service for 30 minutes. Our pastor, Rev. Bruster took his subject: 1st Cor. 12th chapter; O he told us many good things about spiritual gifts. It did our souls good to listen to it. Rev. Bruster and his members have pitched a battle now against sin and satan and they are taking quite an interest in the work on the part of the unsaved; we who have the work at heart, have on our war clothes and we mean to fight; we beg the prayers of all the churches for the saving of souls. Rev. Bruster, Rev. Dobie, Rev. Lawrence, are at the front and we are following. We are doing our best. Rev. Greer (white) preached for uh Thursday; his subject was: "The Bible." I wish you could have heard it; it was simply wonderful and so inspiring. It gave us all fresh courage to fight on. Our meeting is going on nicely, in spite of the rainy weather; for some of us said through floods and flames if Jesus leads, we would follow where He goes. We are glad for He will give us souls for our hire. Rev. Dobie of the A. M. E. Church preached for us Friday night, using the 16th chapter and the 30th verse: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" And he told them what to, and how to believe on the Lord and Savior; and he preached with power. Rev. Bruster, the pastor got up, extended an invitation to all who wanted to be savtid; they came and one was his own dear son. It was a striking scene to see him go running to his father weeping as if his little heart would break, saving he wanted to be saved; he is a lad of 14, but he is large to his age and looks as if he were 16. We had prayer meeting at Bro. Crimes' house; he is one of the officers of the church but his family is yet unsaved and he begged that we would go and pray for them. We had a glorious meeting; we know that God is hearing and answering our prayers. Through this paner, we beg the prayers of all the Christians. Pray for our success in the saving of souls for the Master. With sadness we note the death of Mr. Pool who was killed last Sunday morning as he was on his way to church. A tire bursted on the car in which he was riding, causing the car to turn and as he jumped out he was caught under the car in some way way and scattered his brain. He was a member of the Holiness church and was on his way there for service. We hope their loss is Heaven's gain. QUALITY FIRST PRICES RIGHT C. B.

To afford Negro physicians a larger field or local progressive surgical work. Provide a to care for the needs of the race with 14 for the training of nurses fitted an assurance that their hearts will be in the duties of the service. Such a hospital can be easily supported by the race thru its civic, social, fraternal, and religious organizations.

S THE WICHITA MINISTERIAL LEAGUE met in the last session of the Summer at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Thursday morning with Rev. J. E. Douglas; chairman of, the executive committee presiding. A committee consisting of Reverends Pope, chairman, Hayes and Brown was appointed to consider plans for placing a Negro at the Union Station to direct and give information to travelers of the race and advance such other movements in the interest of safeguarding the Negro public as might be deemed advisable. The proposition for a hospital in Wichita, was advanced and received the approval of the organization with an understanding that the project would have favorable consideration when presented to the league. Attorney James A. Spears appeared before the league in the interests of the local branch National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and secured assurance from the ministers of the city that time would be granted in their churches for him to place the work of the association and its needs before the people. The organization adjourned to meet at the call of Rev. H. H. Edmond throut out the Summer. Devotional service of the closing meeting was led by Rev. J. W. Hayes. who repeated 23rd Psalm in which all present joined; Prayer by Rev. Hayes was followed by a general outline of league work by Rev. Douglass. A general survey covering one month on the migration of Negro to the city will be made by the ministers by request of the Wichita Beacon. LOCALS Dr. J. H.

(By The Associated Negro Press.) ST. CHARLES. MO., June 1g—A colored hero rescued a small child from a burning dwelling last Thursday and would have rescued another one but for the fierceness of the flames which prevented him from entering the doomed structure. The mother of the children lost her life in the fire and the father of the family attempted to kill when he arrived on the scene. The Negro disappeared in the crowd without disclosing his identity. HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH The Household of Ruth No. 612, entertained with a relightful reception on Wednesday evening at the St. Charles Cafe, honoring their District Most Noble Governor, Mrs. Letitia Caron of Lawrence. A long table was beautifully decorated with colors and flowers. A bountiful and elegant menu was served, the cream was in the form of roses. Mrs. Caaron was highly pleased with the splendid condition of the membership, and the progress of the Household. It was her annual visit to the Order. Much praise is due the St Charles Cafe for the excellent service rendered by them. Will The Training Hurt? Why Fear? The Associated Negra Press) LONDON, ENGLAND, June 15, London is worked up over appearance of a story printed in Lord Riddell's newspaper, NEWS of the WORLD, to the effect that France is training one million black soldiers in the French colonies in Africa. The London Press very generally assumes that this huge army can be regarded a menace to the British Empire. Nothing has come out of Paris to confirm the NEWS of the WORLD'S report. For Better or Worse Still They Come. ST. CHARLES, MO., June 15 A migrants are coming into this city monthly and are finding homes. Many of them have money and are buying homes here. Some bring enough with them to go into business, while many come hoping and are finding work. How many St. Louis, can absorb is a question, though as yet the housing situation is the one which most strongly shows the influx. The colored districts are becoming a little more congested, the schools already overcrowded are becoming more so, and the churches are being much strengthened in membership. The migrants, for the most part appear to be industrious class and the N. A. A. C. P., Urban League, and churches are doing what they can to assist them in becoming settled. While St. Louis is largely a southern city, it has yet to show any horror that increasing numbers are finding their way here. Her industries are growing, she is used to using colored labor, she wants to grow in the right way and she knows Negro labor of the right kind makes for wealth. The main problem here, as elsewhere, is to keep up the present good feeling between the races, that the community will be the better for the effort of all to live and work peacefully together. Choose The Man Who Is For The Good Of All The People. (Pv The Associated Negro Press.) PHILADELPHIA, PA., June 15—Andrew Stevens, member of the legislature and of the banking firm of Brown and Stevens, is being talked of as a candidate for Congress from his district. Mr. Stevens comes from one of the pioneer families of the city, has served successfully in the legislature, and was recently successful in having passed an antllynching bill which is the counterpart of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, which failed to pass the filibuster of the United States Senate during the last session.

KANSAS CITY, MO., June 14—According to George E. Tucker, field director of the United States Labor Bureau, thousands of men will be needed to handle the vast wheat crop in the Southwestern district. The farmer has just begun to realize that he will have to pay higher wages for labor than the present market price of wheat justifies. Most of them are offering $5.00 a day with board and lodging included. Thousands of men have already swarmed into the district, but they are unable to supply the demand. Americans Have Prevented Negro Girl Entering Art School. PARIS. June 13-According to a statement appearing in the morning papers American tourists in Paris have brought sufficient influence to bear prevent Miss Augusta Savage the ambitious American'Negro sculptoress from being admitted to the Fountainebleau art school. The statement of the principal of the school "that the action of the committee, refusing the American Negro woman, was due entirely to respect for his feelings and wishes of the American students." M. Damrosch, who is one of the chief sponsors of Fountebleau schools or art and music and architecture, said he felt reluctant to discuss the matter, because it relates to the art school instead of to music, which is his department. But it should be said that the French professors are not prejudiced against Negro students. "It also should be known that Fountebleau school is based on the strictest examination of character and type of students. Certificates of character are required by each student enrolling in the "socalled bohemian school." There was nothing against Miss Savage'e character, but the action was taken simply because the committee feared that the admission of Miss Savage would offend American Students of the school, and following the vigorous protest they made supplemented by hundreds of idistinguished Americans now visiting in Paris," a member of the committee said.
