Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15,No.23, Continued from last issue.) We urge every man and woman of color in the United States to realize that this is an age in which power can be exerted only through organized effort, and that the most effective instrument that we have now for exerting this power is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We therefore appeal to all persons in favor of common justice and equal opportunity to unite with us and join this organization. It is not necessary to recapitulate the achievements of this body and it would be impossible in any brief document to do so. For the sake, however, of recalling to colored Americans and to United States citizens generally what we stand for, we desire to reiterate our insistence upon the following program: 1. Complete and full citizenship rights for the American Negro in the exercise of the ballot, before the law, in the courts, in the protection and sanctity of life and property rights, in the use and the accommodations of public conveyances and in places of public resort whether railroads, street cars, restaurants or places of amusement. 2. Respect for the colored American citizen as an individual in accordance with his achievements and his merit, and respect for the race in view of its progress of half a century unparalleled anywhere in the world at any time. We denounce the use of the word Negro in connection with crime in newspaper headlines giving the malignantly false impression that the Negro is more prone to commit crime than any other race and especially the lie that the Negro is by nature a rapist. We make this appeal to the people of the United States in the interest of our beloved country, realizing as all good citizens will realize that race hatred and prejudice founded upon ignorance and oppression are dangerous to every citizen, white and black, and that it is the duty of every citizen to co-operate with us in holding that true Americanism consists in tolerance, respect and a determination to uphold the human as well as the citizenship rights of every man and woman of whatever race or creed. This Conference unanimously resolves that this program be sent to the President of the United States, to both houses of Congress, and that it be given to the press of the country. AT A RIPE AGE LAYS DOWN HIS ARMOR. Mr. Matthew E. Price, 1420 N. Mosley Ave., died Sept. 22nd. He was a faithful member of the Indiana Avenue Christian Church, where his funeral was preached, Sept. 25th with a majority of the ministers of the city present. Mr. Price was a Civil War veteran and a member of the G. A. R. He was a gret old man. Citizens Mortuary was in charge. He was the brother-in-law of the Rev. Wm. Hancock, the energetic pastor of the Christian Church. Many relatives and friends mourn with his beloved wife, his denise. PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES TO HIS REWARD. Mrs. Sellie Vann born in Kansas City, Mo., in 1865 and moved to this city when quite young, lived a useful life until her death. She was converted and joined Calvary Baptist over 40 years ago and to know her was to love her. She passed to her reward Sept. 12, 1923 at 8:00 p. m. Her funeral was preached by pastor J. W. Hayes last Monday at 2:00 p. m., from 1st Cor. 15:57. She leaves one sister, one brother, relatives and many friends. The floral offerings were beautiful. BRIGHTER OUTLOOK FOR HOUSTON RIOTERS N. A. A. C. P. Visit to Leavenworth, Seems To Change Things To Some Degree. Johnson and Vernon Pledge Their Support. (By Ernest F. Jones.) Special To The Negro Star: LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS, Sept. 14—When the five special Interurban cars brought the delegation of five hundred N. A. A. C. P., to Leavenworth, they seemed to have made a brighter outlook for the Houston, Rioters, now confined in the Federal Prison whom they came to visit. This trip was made from Kansas City, Kansas, Sept. 1st, where the Association held their 14th Annual Convention. When they came things seemed to have changed a bit for the boys. Warden Biddle Praise Men Warden Biddle the first speaker out there that day, being in a position where he couldn't do other-wise, praised the boys and characterized them as orderly, intelligent soldiers who were not murderers at heart. He cited several instances, prove his assertion, where two or three different times when trouble started out there, that these boys neither started nor were they in the confusion. James Weldon Johnson speaking as representative of the N. A. A. C. P., pledged the continued support of the organization, and called on them to always obey the Warden and those in authority that they might make the task of gaining their freedom, easier. "We have been active in your behalf, since the third day of the trouble and we intend to keep up the fight." Bishop W. T. Vernon and John Hurst of the A. M. E. Church made short addresses, in which they echoed the pledge given by Mr. Johnson. Warden Biddle explained that all life sentences of these men had been commuted to fifteen or twenty years, and that similar reductions have been made in the cases of other rioters who had been given twenty years or less. Four of the men have died since their imprisonment, one escaped, one has been released, two have been transported to hospitals for insane, and have been paroled. Ernest E.

(Lincoln News Service) NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—Despite the fact that Harry Wills' injunction proceedings to restrain the Dempsey-Firpo fight have failed, the impression prevails here that Dempsey, having whipped Firpo, will be forced to defend his title against Harry Wills. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 28, 1923. A NEW AND WORTHY BUSINESS Last Monday at noon, The Poinsettia Bakery Company, with Mr. Oscar Lamb, proprietor, present, gave a most palatable repast for the ministers of the city at Calvary Baptist Church. Mrs. W. Peterson prepared and served the repast with a most artful hand. The repast consisted of his make of cream and three kinds of cakes, which was a fair demonstration of a master-hand. In his talk proved without a doubt, he is a race man—pointing to many boys taught under him, who are now placed in responsible positions, where the merit of the trade counts and not the color of the skin. This company is now planning to market some of the best bakery in the city loaves of bread, rolls, pies, cakes, of all kinds, pastries and cretins; also sherbits. They will bring any of the orders to your door, fresh, and fine by calling Market 6620. The Ministers pledged themselves to give his company their full endorsement and support. Jealousy Causes Death. Mr. Ed Shirley of Bristow, Okla., through a supreme case of jealousy took the life of his wife, Clara, Sept. 25th at 11:00 a. m., with a knife. Her throat was cut, around each wrist and her side. He came here last Sunday with full intentions to carry her back or kill her; she had agreed to live with him here, but not to go back to Oklahoma. They had been seen together often since he came. Tuesday morning he gave her the final test while she stood on the gallery and he stood at the corner of the yard, as he was forbidden to come to the house by her sister with whom Clara was staying. He stood pecking in the top of a post, while talking with wife until she told him she would not return, then he made a rush at her and commenced his cruel work. He guarded the body until she was dead, then took acid, and stretched out as if dead, when neighbors came in he arose with oaths and threats and they held to flee. She leaves two little children. She is the daughter of Mr. Ishem. Her body is in charge of the Citizen's Mortuary. A CALL TO DUTY. With several of the giant workers of the Baptist, now called off of the field, we must appeal to the Baptist family for loyalty that the cause may not suffer. You know your apportionment, get busy now and see to your church making a round report. Let's do business for the King, and try to foster His cause without excuses. He wants workers, not shirkers; if we come as workers then we will see many worthy causes for which the Baptists are fostering, and advancing and for the glory of the kingdom realized. Brethren, we can't talk it through, now, we must work the work of Him if the education and mission activities are to be realized more fully. Talk is all right when it is backed by money. It is money we need now, if we are going to do business; so give your members all chance to give some real money for the work. Can the Lord Count on you? Fill out your letter before leaving home and have your church adopt it. A YOUNG WOMAN GOES TO REST Mrs. Mary Dunn, 920 Ohio Avenue, fell asleep Sept. 15, 1923, leaving one daughter, mother, husband, sister, many devoted relatives and friends. She was from one of the best families and married into one of the best. Her funeral was delayed to hear from her father who is on the railroad; then was omitted because of her mother's home being quarantined for Diptheria, and was buried Sept. 22nd in the Highland Cemetery by Citizens' Mortuary. SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR "CONSTITUTION WEEK." Today as never before in this generation, all hearts and minds have been turned to the Constitution. It is needful that we do this. For many of our present day troubles are directly the results of our failure to know what the Constitution is, failure to obey it. We are reminded in the Holy Writ, that "He that offends in one part of the law is guilty of the whole." And so has it been with the Constitution of the United States. In the sixties there were three amendments to the Constitution; the 13th, 14th and 15th; and because their enforcement, SEEMINGLY, only affected a small part of the population, they were violated with impunity. Others desiring FREEDOM along other lines; seeing that these articles could be violated without punishment, proceeded to, by both omission and commission, violate the statutes in other acts. And today we have a great National Law-defying wave sweeping over our fair land. The Federal Government is compelled to spend millions to enforce the Prohibition Law. The State of Oklahoma is in the midst of Civil war. The press bears daily testimony to a great host of over a million, Organized and Soviet of Moscow, at whose door can be placed the blood of the Herrin, Illinois murderous crime. The Preamble to the Constitution, reads:—"We, the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, issue domestic tranquility, Provide for the Common Defense, Promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States." "The People" means all the citizens of our country. Justice" means a square deal for all, in the race of life. It is no respecter of persons; neither White nor Black, Protestant nor Catholic, Jew nor Christian, the rich nor the poor. All should be equal before the law. One of our very grave faults or weakness has been our effort to Have a Democracy without including all the people in it. This cannot be. We must have a law for all the people. And "he that offends in the least shall be guilty of the whole." Fifth Annual Convention Kansas Department, The American Legion Days, Sept. 10, and 11, 1923. RESOLUTION NO. 12. WHEREAS, it is contrary to the Spirit of the Constitution of the United States and of the American Legion that any discrimination should be made by The American Legion or any of the State Departments against the organization of Colored Posts of The American Legion where proper application has been made BE IT RESOLVED, That this body in Convention assembled go on record as considering any such discrimination as unbecoming of The American Legion, detrimental to its best interests and not in spirit with the purpose of this organization, end that it is the sense of this body that if any State Department of The American Legion refuses Charters to bodies of honorably discharged ex-service men that some provision should be made by the National American Legion by wise, whereby these men may be granted Charters direct from the National American Legion or become members at large, of the American Legion, if the National body of this Organization deems it impossible or inadvisible to compel such State Departments to issue a Charter to such applicants.

Hutcherson, Vice Chairman, National Steering Com., Rep. Kans. The question has been often asked, what does the Legion mean to the Colored man? This Resolution, which has been passed by 12 States, is the answer. Kansas IS IN that number. A GREAT WOMAN HAS FALLEN. GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI, was filled with grief over the death of Mrs. H. H. Hampton, the wife of Mr. Sam Hampton, a business man of the city, last Monday. She underwent an operation for a tumor by Dr. Miller of Yazoo City, one of the most skilled surgeons in America, but it seemed she had waited to long. She succumbed to death Sept. 21, at 11:00 a.m. leaving a son, husband, father, an aunt and other relatives and friends with whom she had been dearly and closely associated. The funeral services were held at McKinney Chapel Baptist Church with Rev. K. R. Brown and Rev. W. E. Bradford, officiating. Mrs. Hampton was known in all her city and community for her noble character, big heart and much charitable work. Those who knew her best, loved her most. RESOLUTIONS. BEHALF OF REV. J. H. VAN LEU, State Missionary; by the State S. S. Convention. "Each year the Father calleth Some loved one to enter rest; And our hearts thou filled with anguish Can but feel He knoweth best."

Then after Firpo had put Dempsey thru the ropes, Dempsey no doubt began to realize that that South American was giving him the fight of his life and that he had better climb back up in the ring and give Firpo the finishing touch, the knock-out swing, or he might have trouble with him later on, this he did, and sent the man from Argentine, down for the count to sleep for about 10 seconds. There is no question about it Firpo was certainly entertaining his man.

No. 110 West Elm St. Phone M. 5017 NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Migration is being reflected in the trading here as indicated by a remarkable rise in cotton yarn prices which show marked advances. Raw cotton quotations are rising momentarily and constantly. It is to be doubted if the spinners will be able to make their December deliveries unless relief is found in other markets. The upward movement of prices in the raw product is traced to boll-weevil and the migra- tion of colored labor from the cotton plantations. SPEAK TO YOUR MERCHANT ABOUT THIS PAPER.

We are living in the greatest age of our Life Work. We can see Christ in everything, in all disasters, afflictions, persecutions, besetments behind them all is Christ. We have been sick for one month; we see Christ behind sickness. Our blessings are wonderful. Godis Sovereign. He permits sufferings. He allows pestility and pest, He allows His only begotten Son to experience Gethsemane and Calvary and many other insoluble mysteries. We know not why He has not made it known to man; but He has bidden us trust Him for His grace and rest upon His word, and He has bidden all men to prepare to meet their God. The moral and religious principles of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, have never been and can never be successfully combatted. While religion has many hindrances, its most serious handicap is likely to be within the group of its adherents. The most dangerous enemies of Christianity in any community are those who make high profession as Christians, common religion to others and then live pagans. These are they who actually discredit religion. Miss Alice McClain of 966 Ford, left for Rust University on the 18th. We hope he will have a successful school year. Mrs. E.

THE Oklahoma Law Makers decided they would not hold meeting in the face of the machine gun and soldiers—their health might fail them. After they had gone to the trouble of meeting, when they were told how firm the law demanded that they have no meeting they only needed eight minutes to change their meeting place as the K. K. K., and the law could not occupy the same building at the same time. Gov. Walton seems to think even a meeting in the pasture will be disturbed. If every state in the Union had a real governor, this Christian civilization would last longer. We mean a governor elected by the people, for the people. THE fellow who does the less to make a race, finds the most fault with his race. His children are kept out of the free school, kept from the Sunday School and Church, roam the streets and read no race literature himself, nor encourage his children to read. He knows he is contributing nothing to race development now will his children; so he declares from his philosophy of ignorance, the race is a failure, when he and what he has to contribute is a failure. It is true that his folly of the itinerrary of life ruin his race, but the preacher, the teacher and editors by unmistakable proofs, bring forth examples that the race is not a failure and never will be as long as it bases its hopes in God prepares and encourages. The only failure in our race is the one who has all on his back, with no desire to have anything in his head, heart nor pocket; nor will prepare for his children nor home. If he wobbles through life, he thinks he should be honored for doing more harm than good, and wonders why th's world is so hard on an old man; when he is the receiver of the things he won by his own efforts. Your race is no failure, but it can't make the progress as rapidly with you as a dead load, as it can with you doing your duty. Wake up, wipe your eyes, catch a vision and get into the battle, and you will see PROGRESS WRITTEN SO PLAINLY, THAT A FOOL CAN'T ERROR. LOCALS Mrs. Doris Hardy and sisters, Mrs. Cole, Misses Orchea and Irma Ratliff, were very happily surprised with a visit from their brother Mr. Owen Ratliff of Minneapolis, Minn., last week.

THE less dependable person in the world is a nervous person. He is unsafe for council or service. All of his reasoning is to protect self. All if his talk is to bluff, that he might not be moved from the throne of his own conceit. He acts without thought and sometimes ruin the occasion. His social life is a burden and brings shame to himself and till his society. He is a misfit. He is unstable in all his ways. He is not satisfied with what he has nor does he want to see anyone satisfied. He needs a full dose of common sense to work on his brain, then a tonic of love to be given by direction from God's Word. This will improve his health and strengthen his nerves so God can co-operate with him. He is a pitiful thing, but can't be used. He sees what should be done, but his nerves won't let him do it. This nervousness is catching and if your association continues with him, he will soon have you a nervous wreck; then others will catch it until the whole community will be diseased to death with this nervousness, thinking they can't stand to wait for truth, law nor order to have its way. It will not stop here, it will make whole races nervous, then whole nations, and if the remedy given above is not used the whole world will be fighting a nervous battle, every man will think the other fellow is after him. Common sense will teach me that I must make it better for my brother, if I must have things better for myself. Love will regulate my relationship with my brother that we might join hands on at least the vital things of life; and a full dose of love will keep friendship even if we disagree on the problems of life. Be a man, stand by many things, step up, take hold, stick, and make things go and you will be cured of this nervousness that makes you act a fool, when you should act wise. The world is asking what can you do If you have any reason why you can't, then you will have to step aside and let the one who can do, have the position. Don't be a fool, learn to do, then do!

Main St., where he is better fitted to render professional service. He is looking for his old patients and inviting new ones. St. Paul Notes. 3rd chapter, 13,14 Paul's Letter to the Phillipians, was the topic of the discourse by our pastor Rev. R. L. Pope at the morning services. "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the high calling of God in Jesus Christ." That our salvation depends on going on a singleness of purpose, a determination to press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling. He also made a timely talk in starting out in the new conference year's work. Mrs. Eva Woods, Supt., of the Primary department of the S. S., reports an increase of membership and interest.

The ever-admired Paul was also studied with increasing interest. At eleven a. m., a large audience was present. Dr. W. P. Offutt of Bowling Green, Ky., preached an excellent spiritual sermon based upon the text and subject follows—Luke 5: 52. "The Growing Christ." The B. Y. P.
