Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15,No.15, (J. W. Johnson Writes On) "WHAT AMERICA OWES THE NEGRO." (Article published in "Our World" for August) "The Negro is the creator of the only things artist that have yet sprung from American soil and been universally acknowledged as distinctive American products," according to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, writing in the August "Our World" (published at 9 East 37th Street, New York City.) After reciting that Negroes sailed with Columbus, explored with Norvaez, fought in every war on American soil, and contributed, by their labor to the nation's prosperity, Mr. Johnson says: "However, honorable and glorious as is the Negro's record, it is not the most important story about him in America. For a display of the elements of stamina and courage and loyalty and of intelligence, it does not begin to compare with his peace record. It is in the victories of peace that the Negro has demonstrated his highest claim to full membership in the groups that enter into the making of America. It is in the victories of peace that he has stood the test of the more essential qualities of manhood and citizenship—of stamina, patience, sacrifice, courage, determination, intelligence and faith in oneself. Indeed, in my opinion, it requires greater courage and a higher degree of qualities, mental and spiritual, for a Negro to be successful, respected and self-respecting citizen in. say Mississippi than required for a Negro to win the Croix de Guerro in France."

C., Aug. 2—A telegram was received last week by Director General Hines, of the War Veteran's Bureau from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asking the removal of Col. Robert H. Stanleye, commanding the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., and a letter was received at the White House asking President Harding for his support of such action. It is charged that Col. Stanley had "tolerated" recent Ku Klux Klan anti-Negro demonstrations at Tuskegee. The communications charged that Negro nurses had been discharged from the hospital "without cause" and asked the President to institute an investigation of the conditions which were termed a "national scandal." Col. Stanley was accused of connivance in the recent klan invasion of the hospital. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR WICHITA, KANSAS, 111DAY, Aug. 3, 1923. PROGRAM 2:00 p. m. Open'ing in "Model B: Y. P.

C., Aug. 3—Approximately 2,000 pledge cards have been returned to the local Negro farm agents by Negro farmers of North Carolina, showing that they are now growing six or more vegetables in their home gardens. According to Director Hall the Negroes of the state have shown considerable enthusiasm in this work. Reports received from 18 Negro agents at work under Dr. Hall in the thickly populated Negro districts show that the campaign is meeting with marked successes. ARE YOU AWARE? That the fellow who tries to do the best gets more kicks than all the rest? This gives evidence of some of the natural oppositions against right doing. That a remedy which will cure one with a certain ailment, might kill another who has the same trouble So the efficient physician does not prescribe the same medicines because different patients have the same kind of fever, but he diagnosis the cases separately and distinctly and taking under consideration possible complications and complimentary troubles, he will sometimes prescribe altogether differently. In other words, a very wise and philosophical saying of the old folk—what's good for the goose, is not good for the gander—very well explains why. We were again reminded the other day how our people wonder instead of think. This is a result, more or less, of superstitions, Superstitious folk do not do much thinking; they sit around and wonder, surmise and conjecture about happenings a n d many times form erroneous opinions about things. Let's begin to think more and wonder less. OF AMERICA WHITE PRESS. (From the Cleveland Plaindealer, July 17, 1923) (By The Associated Negro Press) "One of the measures certain to be proced early in the next session of Congress is the Dyer Bill designed to combat lynching. This Bill, it will be remembered, was passed by the last House but lost in the Senate when the Democratic minority filibustered. Interests behind the proposal have not lost their determination that it shall be passed and they count on the imminence of another national campa- gnal to help get it through. "The Annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, recently published, emphasizes anew that lynching remains the shame of America and that federal law is needed for its eradication. At least sixty-one cases of lynching are authenticated as occurring in 1922, about one-third of them for the 'usual' cause and the rest ranging from serious to trivial offenses. Not a single lynching occurred last year in a Northern or border State; this time the crime is confined to the South. Texas was the chief offender with sixteen lynchings, Georgia and Mississippi being next in order. "From the beginning of the agitation for federal assistance for the suppression of lynching the states most guilty of this crime against civilization have furnished the backbone of the opposition to the granting of such assistance. It was a filibuster by Southern Democrats that prevented Senate action on the bill in the last Congress. Not able to stop lynching unaided, these states nevertheless, through their spokesmen at Washington, reject the offer of assistance embodied in this sound, humane and reasonable legislative proposal. "The Secretary of the Association for the Advancement, however, refuses to concede that either party is solely responsible for the defeat of the Dyer Bill. In a letter to George B. Christian, Secretary to President Harding, last December, the Secretary of the Association declared that 'the Republican leadership really accepted defeat at the opening of the fight. Colored people and many white people as well feel that if the Republicans had been sufficiently concerned and had had the courage to stand firm, public sentiment throughout the country would have rallied to them and would have made the position of the Democratic filibusterers utenable." "It is time to stop playing politics over the issue of lynching. Southern States cannot or will not stop this mob murder. The federal government should do so. The Dyer Bill should be one of the first important enactments of the new Congress." MISS FLAKE RESTS. The sad-news is flashed over the wires of the death of Miss Margret Flake of this city who has been ill since winter when evertaken by an attack of flu and since underwent an operation in Chicago, Illinois, from which it was at first thought by her family and friends that she would recover. This comes as a shock with many regrets to her many friends who share in sympathizing with the relatives who feel the wound very severely. Miss Flake is the sister of Mrs E M. Barnes, Mrs. A. W Selle s and Mr. Flake, she made her hon e with Mrs. Barnes. --- AR EOPLE Ri LE Five Cents Per Copy PRESIDENT HARD- ING IS DEAD. At San Francisco, Aug. 2 at 7:30 p.m., marked the end of the Chief of this nation when without warning President Warren G. Harding, while his wife was reading to him, he had a stroke of apoplexy and immediately passed away. Mrs. Harding and two nurses were present. His body is on the way to Washington, where it will lay in state until time for burial. The proplexing problems of this nation is too great for such a conscientious worker as the President was until his death.

A WAY TO WIN. (The Associated Negro Press) JACKSON, MISS. Aug. 3 If Gov. Lee M. Russell, who is winding up his first term, keeps up his present gait in granting pardons, there will be only Negroes left in the state penal institutions. The governor has set a new record in granting pardons. Since January 1st there have been 298 persons pardoned, while six persons a month have escaped from jails and penitentiaries. A prominent planter remarked today, that each pardon meant votes and that the governor probably would not draw the color line if there were any votes getting strength among Colored prisoners. He has four opponents in the "white" primary which will be held August 8. S NOTICE! NOTICE!

WITHIN a few weeks the race in Wichita will go on trial in one of the greatest undertakings in the name of Jesus Christ that it has ever been called upon to assume. Under the auspices of the Religious Education Committee of the Wichita Council of Churches and general direction of the Wichita Board of Education pupils from Douglass and L'Ouverture Schools will be brought together at stated intervals every week for training according to grades in Religious Education under inter-denominational influences. This work will be under the immediate patronage and supervision of the Wichita Ministerial League represented thrus an educational committee headed by Rev. R. L. Pope, and with Rev. B. C. Rannavalona and Rev. Walton Brown as members. There is to be one or two school centers located in the North and central section of the city. Teachers must be provided for these schools upon which the eyes of not only Wichita but of the entire state are turned watching the ability of the Negro as it may develop to take care of the vast responsibility of giving religious training to the YOUTH of the race. These school must be supported by the united churches of the city regardless of denominational affiliations, Baptist and Methodist, Christian and Episcopalian, and men of all other Faith must join hand in order that the youthful mind may receive a higher Religious training. It is not a matter that will admit of mere suppositions and indefinite assumed obligations. The teachers must be able to meet every requirement of the Wichita Board of Education and They Must be Paid For their Service By The Negro Church Forces Of The City. In proportion as there is a degree of sincerity in the mind of the Negro ministry and laity of the city concerning the general training and care of the young minds of the race so will the schools be properly provided for and supported.

Miss Loraine Griffin who attended school last term at Emporia, an agent the vacation there, is now at 10:30 a while with the family. when the degree of concern relative to the young manhood and womanhood of the race will be determined not by mere words, but by the actual support of religious institutions in a movement which means the development of a higher, greater and more devoted observance of the fundamental principles of the Christian Religion in its purity by the young mind with a comprehensive appreciation of the essentials of the Christ Life and Christian Character as the mighty impellent in the struggle for individual success. If Wichita's Negro church forces do not put their end of the Religious Education Program of the city over. Well IT IS A TANGIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS SOME THING LACKING in the SPIRITUAL LIFE of the PARTICULAR CHURCHES, and that after all the pretence of interest in the general salvation of dying humanity and redemption of the young manhood and womanhood of the race has been merely a figure of the mind only, he Religious Educational Project is the testing stons of Racial Sincerity and its desire or future racial success which cannot be secured with Religious Educational. In this project all thought of denominational pride must give way to the spirit of liberal tolerance for the good of the masses; Betty jealousy relative to religious and racial leadership must pass from view before the mighty problem of preparing our children to face the approaching questions of a new age and with hand joined in hand as may after all be most pleasing to the GLORIFIED CHRIST all churches under the leadership of their pastor foreward to the front and with the Blood Stained Banner of Christ ever held aloft strike out against ignorance, lax moral conceptions, crude ideas and ideals of Christianity and battle for Religious Education.
