PROGRESS in tke South under direction of the Commission on Interracial Co-opcra. tion has a0 favorably impressed Dr James Henderson, principal of the Lovedale Institution, ,Soath Africa that he has returned kone with the intention of organiting g tim’Tar Commission whose personnel shall consist of natives and white “people interested {South African problem. For thirty )eare Dr, Henderson has been engaged in missionary education. H's school Is the largest in South Africa conducted in the interest of the native youth. After spending seven weeks in the United $.ates, studying at close range the eduation- al, economic, social and {ndustrial development of the American Negro he has formed some highly favorable impressions, Tte absorb'ng passion of the Amer. fean Negro for progress, his intense loyalty to his country and the Amer- ican flag, the facility with which he speaks the English Language, his thirst for education and bis strong religious tendenc:es were among the commendable characteristics to come within the range of Dr. Henderson's observations. . The two things to puzzle him most while in Amerien were: First, tho ine, elination of white America to accord better treatment to the foreigner than to the Negro, although the former, vomes to these shores as a rule purely for selfish and mercenary reasons;| recond, the lark of appreciation shown for {ta leaders by members of the Negro race, While on his extended tour of ob- servation Dr, Henderson visited among other places, Tuskegee and Hampton, slso Atlanta, favennah, Gulfport, Miss., Calkoun, Ala., Glou- cester County, Va., King» Mountzin,| N. C., Rickmond, Petersburg, Wash- ington, New York, and Boston, His itinerary enabled him to study Negro life in both urban and rural com- manities. He was first Impressed with the great desire of Negroes to own their own homes. Wherever he found landowners he noted progiess, good houses, well furnished Lomes and de- cent, self-respecting home hfe, Ne- grocs owning their: property alm to send their children to schools and colleges, it having been no uncommon! experience for the South African educator,to hear of three or more’ children In a family having gradu- ed from different institutions of ; learning, i In the opinion-of Dr. Henderson, the system of tency without lease affects both white and colored pebple and fs a very serious barrier, The relative progrese rusde in & commun- ity as distinguished between owner and tenant was most noticeable in Calhoun, Ats, Dr, Henderson was struck with the progress made by Ne-| groes in Glouceater, County, Vea.," where all but sixteen farmers own | their own land, have good homes and: ‘are improving the soil, | ‘Tko keennesg displayed by the Ne- gro farmer about agriculture, his ex., traordinary readincss to learn new’ methods from Federal and State farm demonstrators were strikingly appar- ent to the visitor, 1 Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes came up to Dr, Henderson's expecta-', tlons, Some phases of thelr work even exceeded his expectations, He, thinks it would be unsound for these ’ two great schools to merely turn out common workers from thelr respec- tive industrial departments, for the care and thoroughness of the train- ing fits students to go out into the world and serve as “masters” of the trade and not merely ordinary work- men, | ‘The spectacle of Negroes living in elaborately appcinted homes and en- THEY AIM IN ONE DIRECTION. | (The Assoclated Negro Press) PARIS, FRANCE, Aug. 10—Amer- fcam+race prejudice is running inte official songs in Paris as 2 result of the objection of white American tour. ists to dining In French restaurants whee all are admitted without regard to color, Tke Americans de:lare that they will have thinzs oyer here as they have them at home They want to keep the American Negro {1 Paris in his place. . | The ugly stand of the Amorfeans called for the issuance of a commun- ique by President Poincare, calling the attention of the prejudired Amer. fcana to the Ideals of France and the lack of prejudice. He announced with considerable fairness that if the Americans causéd any more trouble, drastic moasures would be taken {o correct them, s Poincare’s action was hastened by the protest of the French Negro memters of the chamber of deputies who complained about the unfair at-| titude of the tourists, These latter.are held to have ex- plained that they did not care what the French Negro did, they seldom saw or came in contact with ons of them, but they would not stad to 4merican Negroes, such es were kept in their “place™ at home, beirg ad- mitted to an equality with them, ‘The American Negro against whom the tourists are complaining are mus- icians and others who hold yood po- sition and have considerable money.

The eyl- dence of true parental love is shown’ in the preparation for future of one’s posterity. You don’t love your children when you give away to all of its childish wh:ms, nor do you love them when you # readily permit them to go out of your sight, A child of a ceitaln period iv almost like any other animal and Is naturally susceptible to the wrong things; hence, the parents, if they in- tend or care for the child to amount to enything, must watch the child and really study and guide his natural tendencies, ital yy ‘Are you thinking or ars you won ae Joying all modern conveniences was quite an eye-opener to the South Af. riean during bis tour of inspection In New York, Boston, and Washington.

Big Bill Haywood was admitted to bail, and there {s no earthly comparison be- tween the thing for which Garvey was convicted and the enormity of the charge against Bill Haywood. “In my judgment, the denial of bail to Garvey in the circumstance is far more dangerous than all the ciimes ever charged against Marcus: Garvey.” e RIGHT DIRECTION.

The extremo heat and exceedingly warm weather did not prevent a good attendanze at the 11:00 a, m., ser- vices, who enjoyed the eplendid ser- ‘mon delivered by our pastor, Rev, R. 'L. Pope. His eubject was, “The Devil Sowing Tares.” He made an im- pressive and forceful talk of the tares and sins sown Into the hearts, bring- ing evil, sorrow and destruction into the lives of men, The Holy Sacrament was adminis- tered. Two came forward and unit. ed with the church. Arrangements are being made for our big 8.

BE, Church (white) Sunday morning >f last week. * The date of the session of the Kan- sas Conference to be held at our Church, will be Sept. 5th. Special services w.J] be held on next Sunday evening. We had good services all day Sunday. S. S., at 9:45, found the superintendent at his post with good attendance. Then the prayer service began, lasting 80 minutes. The pastor took for his subject: "I am the way, the truth and the life and he preached a powerful sermon; which filled our hearts with joy. Dr. and Mrs. Camton of Pueblo, worshipped with us Sunday and declared they were filled spiritually to the overflowing; so well pleased were they, that they stayed over and worshipped with us at night. Sisters Burt and Vaughn gave an entertainment Saturday evening; we had a great time to the surprise of our pastor. We had a good program first: Song by all; opening address by Deacon Vaughn; prayer in concert; paper by Mr. Palmer which was good; paper by Mr. W. A. Matthews, subject: "The Bible" which was a masterpiece; duet by Mrs. Glydes Palmer and Mrs. Cora Anderson; solo by Mrs. Ida Vaughn; solo by I. V. Burt, "The Exodus of the Negro from the South" sang in the time of "Old Black Joe" which was wonderful; and too, it is wonderful to see how God has put it into the hearts of some of our people to write poems and songs and the way our race is treated in the South is the cause of their leaving there. Next was a recitation by Miss Genola Vaughn "A Miner's Trouble" was just grand; too, Miss Genola knows, for her father and brothers are miners; solo by Mrs. Harris Johnson, "Jesus is all the World to me" with Mrs. Starkston at the piano. Mrs. Starkton is an accomplished musician; last, but by no means least; a paper by Mrs. Brenson, "Jesus and the Devil." O what a wonderful paper that was. I wish I could do justice to it, but I can't, but will say it was fine. It takes a pure vision of God's word to get up a paper like that. We are pleased to note that Mr. Tom Mims and Mr. Buck Powel are much improved. Mrs. Chappel who has been confined to her bed is again up. Mrs. Annie Alexander is suffering from hay fever very much these hot days. Also Mrs. Millie Jones. Mrs. Fields who with her husband has been here three weeks has been very sick at the residence of Mrs. Pearl Boggues where they have been rooming. Mr. Fields is a hod-carrier and has been working with some contractors from LaJunta. Mr. and Mrs. Nevels motored to Pueblo, Saturday evening; returning Sunday; reported a pleasant trip. The elderly Mrs. York who has been staying with her son, R. M. York at Tobaeo, has come to stay with her younger son J. F. York and her grand-daughter, Miss Margaret Masterston. Mr. W. A. Matthews motored to Pueblo, last Sunday-now read between the lines; he said tell them he was seen in Pueblo, and they would know the rest. Dr. and Mrs. Compton- and little brother, were dinner guests at Deacon Burt and wife, Sunday. We are having some good old summer time, so if you can't keep cool, go to the club and get some pop on ice and ice cream; and keep as cool as you can—Smith and Nevels keep it there for you; and if you had rather have something just a little hotter than the weather, go to 915 Main St., to Deacon Hood's barbecue stand and they will serve you meat that is hot. Mr. and Mrs. Masterston motored over to Rouse last Tuesday to Sister Journey's funeral. Mrs. Willis from Rouse, Mr. McNeal and others from Lester, also attended the funeral. Mr. Bassett and son were over from Lester, Sunday evening and worshipped with us. Little C. R. Bruster, our pastor's son, has been very sick, but we are pleased to say he is about again. Master Gerome Powell has gone to Colorado Springs, to see his aunt, Mrs. Charity Washington, his mother's sister, Mrs. Emma Teal. Card of Thanks. Mr. Journey wishes to thank his many friends of both races for the kindness shown them in the hour of his sadness and for the manybeautiful flowers given as a token of love for her. CARD OF THANKS.

(Signed) Mrs. Alice Dancey, Mrs. Anna Livingston. St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor. Our services on last Sunday were very fair. The Spirit of God seemed present and all went well. Early Sunday a. m., our pastor was standing at the water's edge waiting for the appearance of the candidates for baptism, who soon showed up. The baptising was one of joy to the three candidates as well as the spectators. The S. S., was well attended; Bro. Wilson the Supt., is working hard and is succeeding. The picnic given by the school last Saturday, was a fair success At 11 o'clock a m., our pastor, Rev. J. E. Douglass was in the pulpit and close for text Matt, 18.3, subject: "Humbleness." The minister showed that he had studied the matter prayerfully; at the close of the sermon four persons were fellowshipped to our membership. Rev. Brewer of Van. Buran, Ark., was with us also, and we enjoyed his presence. We were blessed with several visitors. Sister Winner of Dallas, Texas, gave us a very instructive talk; afterwhich our pastor administered the Lord's Supper and a joyous time was had. At 6:45 p. m., the pastor and his wife drove to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Anderson, 1155 N. Mosley where all things pertaining to joy and comfort were in readiness prepared by the hand of Mrs. Anderson who knows what to cook and how to cook a dinner for a wedding occasion; Miss Dorothy Sims, president of the Wabash Studio of Music was at the piano and you know enough is said. Miss Montgomery sang a solo that was pleasing to all even the bride and the groom. At the proper time the wedding march began played by Miss Sims, with the best man and maid of honor bringing forward the couple to be married in the persons of Mr. Carl Holt and Miss Hazel Brakebill of Enid Oklahoma. Peering through the palms that served as a splendid decoration, stood Dr. Douglass waiting for the papers of rites which were handed him by Mr. Edward Anderson. In a pleasing way, which is usual for him, Rev. Douglass recited the marriage ceremony which joined the couple as one. The dinner prepared by Mesdames Anderson and Adams, were fine to behold. The B. Y. P. U., was fine Sunday evening; Mr. Newton is moving on. At B o'clock the minister chose for his text Rom. 8:35; subject: "Standing Fast." At th close of the sermon we were blessed with two accessions. James Douglass, Jr., is making good as a chauffeur in the employ of Mr. Hays on Fountain; he handles his Packard and Peerless, well and is liked by the family. 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 unpleasantnesses 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.

(By The Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, GA., Aug. 10—An effort to check the migration of Negroes and other farm laborers was given by the authors as the reason for the introduction of a bill in the Georgia Legislature, today, which would make it a felony for any person or concern to solicit labor in Georgia for other States. Punishment would be a prison term of not less than three years nor more than seven. "Passage of this bill," one of the authors declared: "will result in checking the exodus of Negroes and other farm labor of Georgia to other states. It does not allow even licensed labor agents to operate in the State. The present labor situation in Georgia demands drastic legislation and this measure is one which we think best to provide relief." BY—MRS. W. L. M.

AN. indications of a political na- ture point to a genera) and overwhelming assumption of the reins of political force by THE PEOPLE which does not argue well for the certain successes of either of the Old Line Parties in the next National Campaign, An unsettled economic condition with its depressing effects upon the business and farming inter- ests of tho country hae in no uncer- tain measure served to direct the at- tontion of the people thruout the coun- try to things of a pol.tical nature with the result that the pot has begun to boul early, The Republican Party will face onc of the greatest crisis in Its history in the approa*hing campaign aot only from a local and state but ‘ational point of view in the event shat Henry Ford !s accepted as the candidate of the Dimocratic Party or becomes a third party candidate, Cup- italistic Influences have been able to ect aside the organic principles of the Grand Old Party whale politivat in- fluences have scrved to hold the party from a proper assertion of its funda. mental faith thru governmental agen cy where in control of existing sitaa- tions that the average Republican Voter who tas been touched by La- bor Conditions, Small Business Influ- ences, Domestic or Foreign Trade Re- lations, Taxation Probleras or as is the case with the Negro Voter vast problems affecting the gencral soz:al, economic and political welfare of an entire racial group is watching with deep cconcern. In dealing with the Negro the Grand Old Party departing from the Altrulstic stand of Lacoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine, ond Roose- velt has within the last decade given many evidenres of being nothing more than a large sponge which dur- irg campaign periods absorbs the Ne. ero and after a successful election has eltowed political factors hostile to the national interests of the racial group to press the group from the spongo before it has felt the heat of political favor, This is a matter that has quietly had the attention of culored political forces and must have their attention to the end tkat the race be no longer sold by a party that faila for some reason to make good on its promises incurred prior to every nat~ fonal campa‘gn either by word of its pohtical Jeaders or by their apparent * nnd suggested attitudes, The Repub- | lican Party must in the eye of the Ne~ | fro Voter in no small measure assume | responmbility for the failure of the ; Dyer Anti Lynching Measure to bes come a Federal Enactment, The Ne- | yro Ex-Servive Man must regard with { some show of concern the failure of « tho party to s'gn the failure of the | party head to sign a REASONABLL! NATIONAL BONUS MEASURE. The! ( Negro Race emassed in spite of a de- { lermined support of the Grand Old , Party cannot point with pride to any 4 angible benefits that have been des ‘ived by the group through support of 3 he National Tioket in the last cam- ralgn, fe for the average thinker who will with. in a few months be called upon tc give his support to the movement of the Grand Old Party gain in ite ef. forts to score muccess on the natlona target of political prestige and fic. tory. The high glory and success o! no political party in the country Is one-thiid as important as the success: fal progressive movement of the Ne- gro Race in America towards a higher degree of eonomle freedom and re. cognition of the full status of Amer- fean Citizenship for Individuals of the race in accordance with the lofty precepts of the Federal Constitut'on, und as a matter of fact to be fair and square no party Is deserving of tle united support of the race that can- not or will not secure to the race such freedom and recognition. The Repub. lican Party needs to wake to the fact that the Negro of today Is not UN- CLE TOM of forty years back. The Negro voter is and will demand thru his leaders some of the tangible fruits of political victory‘and a smaller de- gree of pol.tical promises made in the heat of excited campaigns, If the Republican Party with the undivided support of tke Negra Voter cannot after a successful campaign thru a party vote pass legislation to protect the legal status of the Black Man ani give to Fim the ordinary protection due American Citizenship. If it can- not secure for the H'ghly advanced thinker and worker of the race 1 place at the national, state and local pohtical pie counter better than mere Janitor and police work, If it cannot place the race in the Southland in 2 position of political safety relative to its right to assert the common duties of citizenship. THEN, WHAT MATTER IF WE HAVE A HENRY FORD for a mere change? So the calamity which may eweep over the country cannot be more alarming than the depressed atmosphere that has developed under Republican Succeas- es concerning the general wel- fare of the race, It is Figh time for Republican Leaders to lenin that the Negro Raco has ceased to be a mere POLITICAL FOOT BALL and that mere promises will rot get the party over the Ford Hurdle in the coming campaign, The result may have some dangerous aspects but yet as an ex periment it {a well worth while that a party that refuses to play fair thru its successful factors be beatcn at the polls rather than be allowed to play with the sincerity and faithful sup- port of a loyal racial gioup.
