THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE HENRY L. JOHNSON LISHOP CONNER DIES AFTER SUCCUMBS AFTER A STROKE LONG ILLNESS State Historical Society, W. E. Bay TH FOR Vol. 18, No. 25 HENRY L. JOHNSON DIES AFTER A STROKE Was Former Record of Deeds And G. O. P. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 18- Henry Lincoln Johnson, for nearly a quarter of a century one of the outstanding race leaders, who once was recorder of deeds here and served as Republican national committeeman from Georgia, died at 12:20 o'clock Thursday morning at Freedman's Hospital, where he was taken after a stroke of appoplexy suffered while at his home, 1261 S. Street, Sunday evening. Mr. Johnson never regained cone- year following the stroke. His widow and two sons, Henry Lincoln Johnson and a friend of the family were with him at the time. He was 55 years old, having been born at Atlanta in 1870. Johnson rose from poverty and illiteracy of a slave home in Georgia, where he had residence for forty days, to a position of great influence. No man in recent years outrank him in political cunning and power. He held sway in Georgia when race leaders in other Southern States were eliminated from the councils of the Republican party and the political arena. All efforts to oust him as leader of the G. O, P, forces of Georgia Failed. Johnson was born at Augusta, July 27, 1870. As a boy he determined to obtain an education. He was a graduate with the degree of A. B., from the Atlanta University. He studied law at the University of Michigan and practiced in Jackson and Atlanta, Ga. President Taft appointed him Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, and he held that office from 1912 to 1916. He was considered a capable official. Johnson was a forceful orator Having a vivid imagination, a keen sense of humor and a flow of language, he was a good rough and tumble debator. The Georgia whites would not have voted him into public office, but as a citizen and a lawyer, he was generally respected. At the time of his death Johnson was Republican National Committeeman and patronage dispenses for Georgia. He was delegate-at-large to Republican Conventions from 1896 to 1924. The first effort to put Johnson in public office failed because of opposition in the Senate. Under President Harding's administration, he was appointed Recorder of Deeds, but the Senate indicated its unwillingness to accept him, because some technical charges were brought to bar him. C. Bascom Slemp, Republican boss of Virginia for years and an authority of Southern politics undertook to organize the Lily Whites and minimize the Negro inluence in the South, but was thwarted in Georgia by Johnson. Soon after President Harding was elected Clarence B. Miller of Minnesota, then Secretary of Republican National Committee Joe Keeling, Republican Committeeman of Indiana and other active G. O. P., chiefs undertook to oust Johnson in his home State. They went to Atlanta, and organized a white party with J. L. Phillips as patronage distributor. This effort met with disaster, and Johnson once more took the reins. Funeral Services were conducted Monday morning at 11 o'clock from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Nineteenth and I streets. Interment was made at Hormany Cemetery. The services led by Rev. H. Brooks, pastor of the church, who was a close friend of the lawyer-politician. National officers of the Colored Elks in which Johnson was prominent, were honorary pall-bearers. Made Home Here. In recent years Mr. Johnson made his home here and conducted his private law practice at offices at 1216 Pennsylvania Avenue. --- LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Sept. 5, Bishop J. M.

In 1920 he was awarded the degree of LL. D. by the Morris Brown College of Atlanta. "THE QUANDARY?" Wm. Ed BAPTIST DUTY METHODIST SCIENCE CATHOLIC - BAILEY - In the light of rational thought, there is no quandary. What presents the slightest aspect of doubt, is but a frantic but futile attempt to eliminate the issue of life eternal. Think ye that the Infinite Mind is imprisoned by human thought or circumscribed by mortal wisdom! Think ye that the creation is bigger than its creator? Not so. Omniscience is not the revelation of argument God does not spring eternal at the end of a syllogism. He is the Potential Entity of the world—He lives—the aroma of his being sweetens the cup of sorrow and perfumes the breath of the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. The logical mind does not think of demoninationalism in terms of abject Wrong or the relative Right,—but chooses that Faith, from his point of view, that best serves his need for individual soul expansion. Wherever in the realm of Christen- Winfield, Kansas Notes SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Success is still attending all activities of this church, all departments are vicing with each other for supremacy, in making this a 100 per cent efficient church organization administering to the needs of the citizens of Winfield. The pastor coming to this church from Michigan, where he had been engaged in Welfare work, dealing with thousands of men, has been able to infuse a spirit of helpfulness that has been so long needed in our city. This church has been so completely re-organized as to touch every phase of our lives; the Sunday Schools for the teaching of God's Word; B. Y. P. U., for training in church membership; Missionary Society to keep the spirit of missions alive; Brotherhood, to keep the men engaged in something for the advancement of the Kingdom; The Douster's Club for the students of the high school and colleges; The Dorcas Society for the young ladies and the strangers to better acquaint themselves with each other, and to teach these ladies more about economics, etc; and another organization is being perfected to be known as "The Young People of the Red Circle" for the boys and girls of teen-age to interest the children in missions and social welfare work at home and in foreign fields. Last Monday night the auditorium of our church was crowded to capacity to listen to a concert given by the Kho Glee Club of Alabama; this was DAPTIST UNITY METHODIST SCIENCE CATHOLIC — BAILEY — gar Bailey . dom—whatever be the nomenclature chiseled upon the lental by the prophet of creed—the tenets of the Christ as compatible with the divine conscience, is a veritable highway to the pearl capped gates of glory. We and you sometime reason thus: That creed is man hampeded in the making; creed circumscribes and thus admits of limitations, Christianity is infinitive, circumscribed, if there be circumscription, only by the shoreline of infinite wisdom. I Think; I Believe; but do not know. Let us believe, however, that creed is a necessary potentiality in the human metamorphis of immortality. Let us believe that a church fundamentally Christian, is sanctioned by God and therefore a factor for good in the world. Under whatever hanner you enlist as a conscientious subject, holding doggedly on to the principles as emulated by the Christ, God, even God himself judges and must save according to His eternal Promisel (END) one of the best recitals given in our church in years. We were more than glad to hate them. On Wednesday evening, they appeared at the First Presbyterian Ch. to a crowd that taxed that large auditorium. This church seats more than a thousand people. The 4th Sunday will be known as "Men's Day" in our church, and the men are preparing to give us the surprise of our lives, with sono's, quartets, choruses and addresses. The pasor's sermon, subject last Sunday morning was, "Seeing Jesus." John 12.20:21. He said in the course of his discourse that, "there seems to be a general unrest all over the world in all walks of life, in our educational institutions, a shifting and changing can be noticed politically there's a great unrest religiously our churches are a scething mass of unrest, churches changing shepherds, by fair and soul means, looking of church doors, he said that the only solution was that we needed to see Jesus. At the evening worship another wonderful message, "Are We Living in the last days?" Thus closed another day of feasting and rejoicing for the membership and friends of Second Baptist Church. When you are in our city visit this church, and find the "Friendly Spirit" and study its organization. S CLASSES AND PRIVATE LLSSONS FOR CHILDREN ONLY Call Douglas 402-K between 9 and 10 a. m. Residence 1147 Cleveland Ave MISS G. HOLDER. 7TH ANNUAL LEGION SESSION BY B. H. NEELY, WICHITA. The 7th Annual Session of American Legion was held in Chanute, Kansas, Sept 6, 7, 8, 9, 1925. Those loyal Legionaires who journeyed the Kansas Plains to attend the dedication of the new $390,000 Legion Home, were well repaid when the dedication was over. This building is a masterpiece of architecture and fit to be the pride of any city regardless to size. In the Convention feature that prevailed throughout the entire Convention, was the spirit of Godliness in men. Too much can not be said about Chanute, and the way it entertained the Convention. No finer people can be found than were found in Chanute. They spared no pains to make our stay one of the most pleasant in our convention trips. The hospitality we received at the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, the Cruth families and others too numerous to mention. There is but one thing to regret and that is every Legionaire in Kansas could have been there and should have been there to have heard the welcome on behalf of the Harry E. Boerstler Post No. 170 by Comrade Hugo T. Wedell, the outstanding Legionaire in the Sate, the one to whom Chanute owes most of the credit, for that magnificent Legion Home. The response on behalf of the Legion by our own Lester Weatherwax, Commander of Thomas Hopkins Post No. 4, Wichita, was an oratorical masterpiece. Greetings from the American Legion Auxiliary, Kansas Department by Mrs. Bertha K. Lawrence, President, were highly applauded, well received. The address by Hanford McNider of Iowa, Past National Commander, in which he pointed out the urgent need of our getting together, and reaching the unreached and selling the Legion to the community and making your post an asset to your city and community, was fine. The Annual Departmental Parade, which will be long remembered in this community, was next. Tuesday morning, the great address by our Governor, Ben S. Paulen, who pointed out the possibilities of the Legion when we get on the job and stay there. The invitation to Omaha, for the National Convention, by Mayor James Dahlman, then came. Wednesday, address by Mr. Mark McKee, Chairman, National Child Welfare of American Legion, who brought our Legionville Orphanage close to our hearts. Next, one of the high spots of the Convention, an address by Alvin Owsey, Past National Commander, who pointed out the achievements of the Legion to date, of which the most outstanding was the passing of the Immigration Bill which was done only by our representatives at Washington, staying on the job. That alone should be reason enough for every ex-service man to be a Legionaire. Then comes the dedication of the first Bullet of the American Legion at Legionville, 12 miles South of Independence.—To have heard Mr. Dabney's address on how he caught the vision of this great need, would thrill any one's heart to service, as he rendered; when he so unselfishly gave as this wonderful gift that will stand as a living monument to his generosity. Long live Mr. Dabney, and his kind! Again, Mr. Alvin Owsley on "What Sacrifice was Required to be of Service to Your Fellow-men and This World" his eloquent prayer and then the inspection of the Bullet then goodbye, farewell Buddies 'till we meet again. Arthur Gossett Post 273 was represented by Horace G. Duke, Lee Walker and B. H. Neely. Hutchinson Post White was partially represented by Attorney Willie D. Harrison.

Madam Odelle Stone Gray of Chicago, in Hoparno Digital Oct. 5 Five Cents Per Copy PROTECTING HOME NEGROES KILL ONE WHITE MAN OF MOB (Preston News Service) DETROIT, MICHL., Sept. 18—Leon Briener was shot and killed and Eric Hougboug, was shot and seriously wound in a riot when a mob of several thousand whites stormed the home recently occupied by Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Wednesday night. The men shot, were white. Police reserves were called to the house Tuesday night when stones and clubs were hurled through windows and doors in an effort to force the Sweet family to vacate. No arrests were made. When the white hoodloons saw that Dr. Sweet was determined to remain in his home, a mob of whites, variously estimated to be about 10,000 gathered around the house and in the block. It is said that when they marched upon the porch of the Sweet home the inmates opened fire. Both men shot lived in the same block as Sweet. It is said that when police arrived they found several of Dr. Sweet's friends in the house who had come to help the physician protect his home and family against the white mob leaders of which had sent threats to Dr. Sweet early Wednesday. It is reported that the police department has not shown a sternness that would seem to deter the white marauders. The police arrested Dr. Sweet and his friends. Court Asked to Ban Race A suit asking an injunction to prevent the selling of lots to Negroes and to prevent certain Negroes who have already purchased property there, from occupying that property, was filed Wednesday by Emily V. Collins and 10 other plaintiffs against Dewitt T. Burton, his wife, Alice; Dennis S. O'Neil, his wife, Alice; and the Grinnell Realty Company. The plaintiffs claim they bought property in Martin Park subdivision and that in all contracts purchasers had to pledge themselves not to sell or convey their property to anyone other than those of the Caucasian race. They allege O'Neill and his wife bought a lot in 1924 and sold it to Burton and his wife, who are Negroes. The injunction was granted temporarily by Judge Webster, pending a hearing for a permanent injunction.
