THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE State Historical Society, W. E. Bacon TH FOR Vol. 15, No. 20, BARNES TELLS ASSOCIATION ABOUT SUNFLOWER. (By Ernest F. Jones) LEAVENWORTH, KANS., Aug. 31 HE CITES PROPERTY VALUATION Tells What Great Work They Are Doing. Special To The Negro Star: When Rev. J. A. Barnes, pastor of the Sunflower Baptist Church of this city, went up to Atchison, last week to represent his church and people in the Northeast District Association, he went not only to carry the representation fees and to just be a messenger but he also went to tell the Association about Sunflower and what grind work they are doing. Rev. Barnes is a new man in the District and state, having come here from Arkansas only two months ago. He went over to the Association for the first time last Tuesday morning, and preached a soul stirring Introductory Sermon. Then after getting his bearings, he was ready to mix them up; this he did and took active part in all the sessions during the meeting. When the church's name of which he pastors, was mentioned an executive and public meeting, Rev. Barnes was there to stand and talk for his church. He told them of a church out there on 5th Avenue with a small membership; but comparatively speaking, doing work 2nd to none in the state. He told them of that church on the street car line, where the members rallied together and in 40 days' time the church had been painted on its exterior, a stone walk and steps laid and the interior beautified until it's practically a new building out of the old. The pastor cited to the Association the church property valuation, which is approximately $3000, comprising the church parsonage, two unoccupied lots adjoining South. He told these things that the standard of the church might be raised; that the Kansas Baptists might know that altho a small church, in a small town, that Sunflower was up and doing; that the world might know that Sunflower was on the map. When Rev. Barnes was through speaking, he received an applaud. Labor Day Picnics. Of a truth, the people of the city certainly enjoyed themselves at the Labor Day Picnics: The Y. M. C. A., ejoyed a full day with many kinds of amusements. The St. Paul A. M. E. Church sold the pop; New Hope sold the pastries and Calvary sold the ice cream; and the "Y" sold many other things and furnished the entertainment. St. Augustine Episcopal Church went the limit with a picnic which topped all gatherings of its kind in the city under the management of Dr. F. L. Barnett, and C. I. Burns and Robt. Hill with their splendid membership and their friends. They had over 2000 persons present and every one had a high class day with plenty of music by the Community Band and every imaginable amusement. They rendered a program beginning at 10 a.m., and lasting until 9 p.m. Many were the praises for this great entertainment that was so harmoniously carried out. Each of these are extending words of appreciation to those who attended each of these excellent picnics. Union for the Gipsy Smith Meeting All the choirs of the Negro Churches of the city are asked to meet at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Sept. 11, at 8:00 p. m. to prepare to sing at the Tabernacle one night during this great meeting. The night will be decided on at the practice. All singers are invited. GOVERNOR AL SMITH BIDS FOR NOMINATION. (Lincoln News Service) NEW YORK, Sept. 7—Every colored paper in New York City, charges Governor Al Smith is endeavoring to strengthen his preliminary campaign for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency by blocking the Dempsey-Wills boxing bout in deference to the pnsjudices of Southern Democratic votes. The Amsterdam News Says: "Like a bolt from a clear sky came the news Monday night to this city of the real reason why the Dempsey-Wills fight has been hanging in the balance for the past few months, and that reason is that the Honorable Al Smith, Governor of the State, is making a bold play to the cracker Democrats of the South in preventing Harry Wills from meeting Jack Dempsey in the roped arena. Negros who have supported the Democratic party in this part of the county have boasted that Al, good old Al, of the East Side, would go out of his way to see that justice was done and that fair play would be meted out to all, at least in the world of sport. This is the same Al who smilingly gazed upon the colored Democratic Marching Club a few months ago, which made the trip to Albany to let Al know he had the colored vote in the palm of his hand. But unless the Governor suffers a complete change of mind, there will be no Dempsey-Wills contest until after the Democratic Convention of 1924." The New York Age, the New York News and other publications in behalf of the race are one in declaring that the reasons for the Governor stopping the fight were that he did not want to offend the Southern element of his party, upon whom he must depend for his support in his Candidacy. MANHATTAN NEWS By Mrs. Vera Hickman. . Mt. Zion Baptist Church is preparing for an Educational Campaign for the Central Baptist Theological Seminary which will be held here Sept. 21-22 and on the afternoon of the 23rd the Campaign will be concluded in a general mass-meeting at which time we hope to have Dean Garnett as a guest and principal speaker of the afternoon.

Gordon took his text from St. John 5:39; after a soul stirring sermon Mrs. Minnie Rider of Austin, Texas came forward and cast her lot with us.

Mr. Donzld Staten and Mr. Vernon Harris of Wichita, have left Manhattan for home and two certain young ladies are surely looking sad. School starts Wednesday and the youngsters are all singing: "The School Day Blues." Deacon Hite who has been in our city for about two years is leaving for his home in Missouri. We are sorry to see him go. He has been a blessing to this community and to the church. Mr. and Mrs. McBride, formerly of Wichita, have come to our city to reside. They have traveled for four years trying to find relief for Mr. McBride whose health is very poor. 't seems that the Manhattan air is good for him and he is improving rapidly. We hope that they will remain with us. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 7, 1923. A. M. E. CONFERENCE SESSION OPENED HERE. BISHOP HENRY B. PARKS, Presiding. WEDNESDAY MORNING.

PRESIDENT TO BACK BILL AGAINST LYNCHING (Lincoln Press Service) WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—President Coolidge will recommend a strong and potent anti-Lynching measure to the next Congress, and promises to get behind it with all of the influence and power of the White House, is the announcement given out by Bascum Slemp, new Executive Secretary. It is understood that the President will not only ask for the enactment of all of the clauses of the Dyer Bill, but will urge that penalties and jurisdiction be incorporated for the punishment by the federal authorities of masked and hooded organizations engaged in outrages upon American citizens. Washington has remarked the characteristic reserve that has prevailed with the President upon his policies in general, but in the matter of stamping out lynching the Executive has broken the silence, and according to Mr. Slemp, he has broken it in a forceful and decisive manner. Recent depredations reported from Georgia and other points in the South, in which men and women have been flogged by masked bands of murders, are so deeply deplored by the President that he desires the antilynching measure to include penalties drastic enough to bring them to an end. It is expectel here that the bill will meet with the same opposition from the Democratic members of Congress, particularly from the South, that appeared against the Dyer Bill. It will be remembered that Senator Underwood, leader of the minority and candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, obstructed a vote on that measure and threatened to stop the functions of the Government, with an infamous filibuster, rather than see it become a law. Those close to the President say that he believes the present emergent conditions will insure a favorable consideration of a new bill. At least the supposition obtains that with the long session of Congress, which comes in December, there will be offered sufficient time to fight the defenders of lynching to a finish. SHORT CUTS (The Lincoln News Service) The lull in lynching activities for the State of Georgia became spirited last week when three colored men were hanged and two flogged. Hon. Oliver Randolph, a successful colored lawyer of Newerk, N. J., has been named Assistant U. S. District Attorney in that State. Felix Randolph, a colored man, "sassed" Roy Toney, white; and paid the penalty of being shot to death. His body was thrown into the river. The Baptists proposed to erect a Theological Seminary for colored people at Nashville, Tenn., but the white people successfully protested against it. Statistical reports of the Supreme Lodge of Colored Pythians, which met last week in New York, showed a membership of 300,000 and rerly holdings throughout the country valued at $2,017,000. Speaking at Atlantic City, Congressman L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, author of the Dyer Bill, declared that the upward of 4,000 colored citizens had been lynched in the South in thirty-five years. Colored farmers near Greensboro, N. C., have been granted extensive credits by the Federal Farm Loan Board for the purposes of improving their farms' and purchasing new equipment. BY A KANSAS PASTOR Special To The Negro Sttr: While visiting in the East and looking after some personal business, I thought that I would let you know that I have not forgotten the people at home, and as it is almost impossible for me to write to each of my friends, I decided to write you thro' this noble paper. We arrived in the city of Homestead, Pa., Wednesday morning at 8:30, August 29th. We were met at the depot by a committee who took us to the Clark Memorial Baptist Church of which Rev. M. A. Talley; D. D.; is pastoring. Here we found the great Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention in session. The afternoon session was great. The President Dr. C. S. Brown, Ph. D., delivered his 26th annual address to more than 800 delegates who came from the states of the East. HIS ADDRESS:—The President said in part—That they had done more this year than ever in the way of Foreign Mission. He gave a unique survey of both the branches of the National Convention of America; and said that he hoped to see the day, that when all the Baptists of the world would be as one, and living together in perfect peace. Personally; I shall say that, I see that the great Baptist family is divided in many parts as far as organization into Conventions is concerned; but we all have the same high and exalted regard of the principle of the teaching of the Holy Bible and are endeavoring to do great things for Mission and Education; not only within the U. S. A., but for the entire world. Indeed the Lott Carey Convention is a great body of Christian men and women. We listened to all the officers' reports and each one was highly enjoyed by all. The racial condition in the East—Thousands of our people are here and are still coming from the South and a very large per cent of them are purchasing homes and going into business. It is indeed wonderful to see how the churches of the East are growing. There is a class of our people who came from the South are not just what they ought to be to help the race to solve the great problem which is so permanently established in America; but at the same time I see a great chance for our people in the East. It is an indisputable fact that the race problem has become a National Issue; instead of a Sectional one as it has been in years hence; but I truly believe that the praying part of our people will have the help of the Holy Spirit to be very successful in leading our race on to higher plans and will greatly eliminate the sinful and ahtmful race hatery. We have been invited to speak at one of the largest churches of Pittsburgh, Pa. Sunday Sept. 2nd at 11 o'clock a.m. We are having a fine visit but have not in any way forgot the good people of Kansas. I am yours for the Cause, L. D. Stevens; B. D. Homestead, Pa. Bertram Hodges, fifteen years old, recently arrived with 15 parents, migrating from Georgia, received a prize from a Philadelphia daily paper for the brightest answer to a wantad query. W. B. Butler, prominent in Democratic circles, who killed William Freeman and fatally injured Mary Lou Gamble, both colored, at Fayetteville, Ala., was held under bond for carrying concealed weapons. The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias', meeting in New York last week, was insulted by the refusal of Tammany Hall to permit the thousands attending to pitch z camp in the suburbs. The local committee lost $4,000 in preparing the camp. Five Cents Per Copy NEW YORK COLORED MAN GETS FEDERAL APPOINTMENT. (Nylon News Service) NEW YORK, Sept. 7—Paul W. Henderson, Assistant Postmaster-General, directing head of the Railway Mail Service, has appointed Samuel Lee, a colored railway mail clerk, as supervisor of the New York terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The commission making Mr. Lee supervisor was brought to New York by John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk of the Railway Mail Service, who is a colored man, recently raised from the ranks of the service to the high position that he now holds. World-Famous Colored Band and Phonograph Star to Appear In Wichita. On Tuesday, Sept. 18th night local music lovers and all whose liking for syncopated music is such as to appreciate the originator of this style of entertainment will be afforded an opportunity of hearing what is styled the greatest popular colored orchestra of all times—Handy's Original Band, with W. C. Handy himself. With Handy's Band will come Sara Martin, the sensational colored phonograph singer, whose blues records have attained such a widespread popularity that it has been necessary to quadruple the output of her disks the past six months. Ever since her first smashing hit; "Sugar Blues," the name of Sara Martin has been known from Coast to Coast. She has recorded hit after hit a once her first release, and has been called the "World's Greatest Blues Singer." Certainly no colored singer in modern times has scored such an amazing success as Sara Martin. She has just received an offer to appear in London, but has abandoned her foreign appearances in order to fill her American tour. Her appearance here with Handy will mark one of the few stops being made on a special tour which has been booked for her by the National Music League, Inc. Handy himself will lend his own band, which is sufficient notice that the King of Jazz will again delight local theatre-goers as no other band leader of the present day can do. He retains his original band, with a few new faces among the personnel and he is authority for the statement that this is the greatest organization he has ever taken on tour. The Hendy-Martin Concert will be given at CRAWFORD THEATRE. An Oversight. In the conclusion of the write-up of the Southwestern Association, especially the Memorial Service in honor of our much loved Dr. E. T. Fishback and Rev. J. Reeves, we stilled to mention Rev. J. E. Douglass who made one of the best talks on the program; and also that the meeting was most effectively handled by Dr. B. C. Rannavalona who was acting as Master of Ceremony. The error was made by the editor and he counts it among his pleasures to correct it. $25,000 DRIVE For The CENTRAL BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY—TOPEKA KANSAS By request of those who have entered the Scholarship Contest, connected with this Drive, the time has been extended and the contest will close October 22, 1923.

(From Wheat Show News Bureau) WICHITA; KANSAS; Sept. 7—For two solid weeks two skunks will be permitted to remain in the Forum at Wichita; and the strangest part of the story is that they will be there, while the International Wheat Show and Farm Products Exposition will be in progress from September 24 to October 6. The reason the Wheat Show, management is permitted the skunks to be in the Forum at that time is that they are odorless and will cause nothing but pleasure to all who see them. They will be sent to the Wheat Show by Bert Dozier; game Warden for Kansas, who wants to show what can be done with skunks: The skunk is the chief fur bearing animal of Kansas. The State Fish and Game Department of Kansas are arranging a beautiful and interesting exhibit for the Wheat Show.

There will be wate t 'kowl' and also animals. I Beaver and muskrat will be seen at work in the ponds. The Wheat Show this year is the most extensive ever planned.

It has been said if one would read one chapter in the Bible every day and three on Sunday they would read the Bible thrillingly in a year. the Bible through in a year. Every section of the globe furnishes a world of thought and speculation for the contemplative mind of the naturalist to the student of nature; there is not an uninteresting spot on earth. Man was created with a desire for discovery and within the secret avenues of every thinking brain there is a constant longing to know more, to behold the natural beauties of creation, the wonders of sublimities that bear upon their faces imposing evidence of the Almighty power of God and he is always reaching but and striving to enter new fields and hitherto unheard of rays of truth and knowledge blaze forth and to my mind the Bible is the one book to wet all; so let us read it prayerfully and see what the results will be.

Borglans, Pastor 111 Our services of Sept. 2nd were very very good. Beginning with the Sunday School. Our Supt. Bro. J. D. Wilson was at his post. Much interest and enthusiasm were manifested in both teachers and pupils. Many good thoughts were brought out of the subfest: "Paul the Apostle." At 11 a. m., our pastor preached a wonderful sermon from Phil. 3:14: "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Two persons were received to our membership. B. Y. P. U. Session was good. The lesson was very interesting. I am sure each one present was impressed with the great subject: "The Church, the Body of Christ." The blackboard outlines given by Sister A. Hall was very good. At 8:30 p. m.; we enjoyed a real Gospel feast in a sermon delivered by our pastor from 1 Cor. 8:1st clause of the verse: "But to us there is but one God." He seemingly was at his best; overshadowed with the Holy Ghost which seemed to spread like fire and made our hearts burn within us while he delivered God's message. I feel that each one who is serving that "One God" was able to rejoice in the God of his salvation. We feel grateful for the manifestatin of God's Holy Spirit in the seven (7) who came forward and united with us. Our entertainment last Friday evening was a success under the leadership of Bros. E.

ANY blubber can keep its shape if there are no obstacles, but it takes an ice-berg to sink a Titanic. What can you sink? IF we offend our brother it should hurt us most and if they offend us it should hurt them most; this is the clearest sign that the Kingdom of Heaven is in you. EDUCATION is that process that draws out the best of your child and makes him believe in himself, so he will be useful. It is a painful operation, but teachers usually suffer more than the child, and should have much more of the parent's sympathy and support than the child. With improvements at all the schools, there is no reason why every child of school age should not be in school on the first day. We talk about the best, we wonder about the best and we love the best but we are not as energetic as we should be in making our children the best. The best child will make the best man or woman and on their shoulders will test the best government. Learn to live for the child and you will never die. ANOTHER HAS FALLEN. Just as we go to press Rev. W. C. Cartwright telegrams from Los Angeles, California, of the unexpected, in the death of Rev. J. H. Van Leu of this city who died there this morning. Rev. Van Leu is the State Missionary for Kansas, and a leading light; one that will be greatly missed. THERE is a natural desire in the mind of every man to be free. The infant in your arms fret most when he thinks he is bound; hold his hand or his feet or don't let him turn as often as he pleases and you will hear from him. Watch him as he grows and you will see that he will raise the most disturbance at any age when he thinks that he is hindered by some power that curbs his rights as an individual. Go to LO ALS WORK-CASE. Wednesday evening, Sept. 5, 1923, marked the time of a tie in Holy Wedlock between Mr. Homer Osborne and Miss Ola Case with Rev, J. F. Greene officiating. The Star is wishing them a long, happy, successful matrimonial tour. Mr. Bennie Ballard and Miss Etoile Pope decided to have two hearts beat as one; on last Wednesday evening, Sept. 5, 1923, at St. Paul Chucrh with Rev. Pope the pastor officiating, they joined hands to walk side by side on the matrimonial journey and our best wishes accompany them. Cupid got busy recently and resulted in the announcement of the marriage of Mr. J. T. Chinneth of this city to a Chicago bride, which took place in Kansas City. Best wishes from The Star. Miss D. L. Sims is now rounding up her vacation trip and will soon turn her attention homeward. The Wabash Studio of Music will open Tuesday morning Sept. 11th at 8:00 o'clock.

The humble inmate's eyes sparkle, his voice deepens and his articulation clears with great volume when he begins to place inferences on freedom; tho' he is a prisoner to existing circumstances; he would rather be dead than made to believe that he was not at liberty. Go to the rich home and the sweetest subject matter that is discussed is FREEDOM, at the same time high ties of social life may have bound as tight as poverty has the one in the humble home, but he would rather die than to think he was a slave to the will of society. Take the Christian religion and the saints rejoice because they are free, it brings a thought of FREEDOM that the rich and the poor can enjoy in the same spirit.. Since the freedom of the soul is the only Freedom that all can feel alike, then it should form the basis for all FREEDOM; then the just, the unjust, rich, and the poor, great and the small will rejoice, because he is or can become free and is dealing with free people. It is not all of life to know that you are free, but it is to know that you are dealing with a people who are free and you are not afraid of them. Any man who lives in fear of his neighbor is not free; he only becomes free in proportion that he can establish bonds of safety in the minds of the ones with whom he deals. When the rich man allows himself to be fearful of the poor man and the poor man allows himself to be fearful of the rich man; or the white man fearful of the black man, then all are slaves of their foolish notions and wider and wider will the breach of strife grow until one can't stand the other, then come the days of destruction. Let this mind be in you: That we are all humans, yea brothers with one Father, then from that base of Religious Freedom conform our lives and you will see a New Jerusalem coming forth in her strength and the lion and the lamb will lie down together.
