THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18,No.27, GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI DENOUNCES MOB (Preston News Service SAYS OFFICERS SHOULD TAKE EXTREME MEASURES TO PROTECT. OFFERS USE OF STATE MILITIA. JACKSON, MISS., Sept. 30—"The time has come when the law-abiding Christian people of Mississippi should assert themselves in no uncertain term against such misconduct and should rally to the support of the peace officers in maintaining the integrity of the law," said Governor Henry Whitfield of Mississippi in a statement issued the following the lining of J. P. Ivey at New Albany, "Officers charged with the responsibility of protecting criminals should resort to extreme measures in thwarting a mob," continued the Governor. "Had the Governor received notice of the crime he would have given ample support to the sheriff in the prevention of so horrible a crime against the law. I want every peace officer in the State of Mississippi to know that as long as I am Chief Executive of the State every possible help will be extended to them in the enforcement of the law. I shall not hesitate to send out the militia to vindicate the laws of the State and see that those laws are executed. I hope the court officials will not hesitate to perform their duties in the case under discussion, as well as in like cases that have occurred or may occur in the State." Under Mississippi law the Governor is powerless to interfere in a local situation unless state aid is asked for by the county authorities, nor has he any power to inlict penalties on county officers who fail in their duty. "NOT YET EMERGED FROM BARBARISM," SAYS GEORGIA PAPER. MACON, GA., Sept. 30—The Macan Telegraph, leading daily paper of this city, commenting editorially on recent lynchings, says: "We have not yet emerged from the age of barbarism. Unless there comes out of these crimes and all other crimes in which men take the laws under which we live into their own hands, the swift and sure punishment that should come, we cannot really claim to be civilized. We have the veneer of civilization and the coating of culture and the luxuries of modern invention, but if we condone these crimes against society we have the primal instincts of the brute and the savage." St. Paul Notes. There was a good attendance at all the services; also at the S. S. 9:45 a.m. Arrangements are being made for promoting day in the primary and other departments of our Bible School, and will include a special program. At 11 a. m., our pastor, Rev. R. L. Pope preached a splendid sermon, his chosen theme, "Pressing Toward the mark." from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Phillippians, that our constant aim should be a singleness of purpose, to strive for perfection, to grow in grace and resolve to ever press forward to the mark of the high calling. His sermon and talk was especially impressive, as Rev. Pope state that it was the close of the conference year, and perhaps the last as pastor of this charge. He also preached again at the evening, subject: "The Gift Of Peace." The A. C. E. League Meeting was held at 7 p. m. The cooked food sale Saturday under the management of Mrs. F. O. Miller, netted $31.00. The session of the Annual Conference, was held at Emporia, during this week. On Monday evening the Annual Ch., report was made by Rev. Pope, who also announced that he had been transferred to another conference and MISSOURI PACIFIC SYSTEM LINES L. W. BALDWIN. President ST.

Chanute Notes. S. S. was largely attended at New Hope Baptist Church, 79 present. We are striving to make a large S. S. Pastor, Rev. C. O. Marshall is urging that more adults attend. The pulpit was filled by Rev. Fitzpatrick, one of our members, he took for his text, "Who Is He?" and drew a very beautiful picture of the church and what is required. We are very proud to know that God has spared him to be out with us again after a very serious operation. May God ever help him to deliver us such messages. The B. Y. P. U., was well attended under the leadership of Bro. Wm. Washington. The Pastor called a few members together 15 in all at 5:00 p. m., Sunday evening to reorganize a Senior choir. They filled the choir stand Sunday night.

We will enter into a consecration meeting after the 1st Sunday for 2 weeks. Then we will launch a soul saving campaign. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Crith left for their home Saturday in Topeka after spending their honey moon trip here with relative and friends. Mrs. Cora Dixon motored to Iola, on a shopping trip Tuesday.

CONVENTION AT BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, BY W. C. CARTWRIGHT, Pastor, Compton Hill Baptist Church ST. LOUIS, MO. Editor Sims and General Public: My trip to Baltimore, to the National Baptist Convention, to New York City and Washington, D. C. At Baltimore, in the 6th Regiment Armory, the National Convention held the best session in its History, according to my humble judgment, as well as the judgment of others, older in experience and attendance; Over a half million dollars was raised for the work during the fiscal year. The President's address, eclipsed any he has ever delivered, while all the others delivered seemed unsurpassable at the time delivered. The sermons, addresses, singing and all the reports were up to the standard; with President Williams in the lead. A finished S. S. Publishing House, a finished Theological Seminary and B. Y. P. U. House at Nashville, and Young Women's Training School at Washington, D. C., and other assets, elsewhere. It seems that the Negro Baptists are in the truest sense of the term, Triumphant. We adjourned to meet in our next session at Ft. Worth, Texas, our birth state. We spent Saturday and Sunday of the Convention week in New York City, where we visited relatives, and preached for the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, of which Dr. B. W. Wicks is pastor. We preached for him at 11 a.m., to a full house. The congregation is very enthusiastic, as seems to be the case with the most of the other congregations there from information we received. In the afternoon, we spoke at the Abisenian Baptist Church, to a Missionary meeting; they too were full of spiritual fervor. New York City, made a wonderful impression on us religiously, a fine 2. APPEAL place for cold Christians to get warm, as well as it is a fine place for pleasure seekers along unchristian courses. I will not burden you to tell you of our sight seeing trip Saturday to Brooklyn, Coney Island, down River View, Broadway and 5th Avenue for to me Sunday services elcipsed anything I had enjoyed in New York. Our Sunday School Congress will hold its next session in Brooklyn, I want to be there. We left New York City at 9:00 a.m., Monday for Baltimore, in time to see the close of the Convention and to join the delegation to Washington, D.C. The delegation arrived in Washington about 9:00 a.m., Tuesday. The scenes were many and varied. Upon our arrival Mr. Powell, a friend of ours from Kansas, now a resident of Washington and representatives at the capitol, met us at the Union Station. He escorted Rev. Favora, Moderator of N. E. District Association; Rev. Hibbler, Los Angeles, Calif., and your humble servant to the White House, where we were introduced to President's Private Secretary, Mr. Saunders with whom we chatted about, well at least 5 minutes. It was at 11 a.m., the Secretary suggested that he would arrange for us to shake hands with President Coolidge at 12:30 if we would come back, certainly we told him we would be back and that on time, so elated over this unusual opportunity, and we did not want this pleasure to be ours alone, so we set out to augment our crowd, but the most of the delegation had gone to Miss Burrougha' Training School, however, we returned to the Executive office, with 12 in number, whose hearts were pulsating to shake hands with the President. At 12:30 (about) the guard gave us order to pass in. So we did, and for the first time in my life, I had signal pleasure of shaking hands with the President of the U. S. A., and this is the impression it made on me: After observing the care worn imprint, the duties of his office had made on him, comparing the man with his picture that we see daily. I was forced to see as never before the need of our praying for our chief executive and so Sunday, in my report to my church, I urged upon them the ne- N. A. A. C. P: TELEGRAM PROTESTING LYNCHING PROMPTLY LAID BEFORE COOLIDGE (N. A. A. C. P. Press News) Everett Sanders, Secretary to President Coolidge, has written to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, telling him that the N. A. A. C. P., telegram protecting the burning alive of a Negro in Mississippi, had been "very promptly laid before the President." The telegram sent by the N. A. A. C. P., on Sept. 21, to President Coolidge, reads as follows: "The burning of a Negro or stake by a mob yesterday in Mississippi, constitutes the thirteenth lynching this year. This case of savage ferocity, inexcusable regardless of the guilt or innocence of the victim, brings forward the crying necessity for federal action to stamp out the shame which blackens the name of America before the civilized world. We respectfully urge you to bring this question before Congress when it next assembles and that you reiterate your recommendation for effective Congressional action." On the following day, Sept. 22, the N. A. A. C. P., sent another telegram to President Coolidge, as follows: "Supplementing my telegram of yesterday reporting the burning alive of a Negro in Mississippi, I desire to call to your attention newspaper dispatches of today, recounting the murder by a mob in Georgia of an insane colored man, taken from the State Hospital for the insane, chained to a tree an beaten to death, charged with murder of a nurse in the asylum. This constitutes the fourteenth lynching in 1925 as against 12 for a corresponding period in 1924. May we again urge a recommendation from you to Congress, asking suppression of these uncivilized atrocities." In reply to the first telegram, the President's Secretary wrote: "Your telegram of Sept. 21st has been received and promptly laid before the President." AFRICAN KING VISITS AMERICA NEW YORK, Oct. 2—King Nana Amonh III, of the Fantj Tribe on the African Gold Coast arrived in the United States Thursday on the Cunard liner Acquitania. It is said that the King will visit the various cities in the United States where there is a large Negro population. He is said to be ruler over 40,000 persons. He was educated in London and speaks perfect English; aged 49 years and is a widower and has four children. Being a Christian he had only one wife. cessity of our praying for the President. I can see why we have only one ex-president, one cannot imagine the responsibilities of our Presidents until you have taken cutical observations at Washington Capitol. One more of the many other important scenes, was the mint or the stamping house, where postal stamps, greenback, etc., are made. I must confess my "mouth watered" when I saw the great stacks of greenback and few very few if any in my pocket, but still there was something else more attractive and pleasing to me than the sight of this money which I could not spend: and that was our colored boys and girls, men and women, proportionately given these jobs, you would be surprised to see so many. This will somewhat change your impression about the race question. Now dear readers, I have said all of this just to tell you: "I shook hands with the President. Thank you. Five Cents Per Copy TO RETAIN EMINENT CRIMINAL LAWYER TO DEFEND VICTIMS OF DETROIT RIOT (N. A. A. C. P. Press News) NEW YORK, Sept. 25—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today announced that negotiations are under way with an eminent white lawyer, one of the greatest criminal authorities in the State of Michigan, whom it is hoped to retain for the defense of Dr. O. H. Sweet and the ten other people accused of murder for defending Dr. Sweet's home from a mob. The defense of Dr. Sweet, his wife, his two brothers and seven other colored people has been entrusted to the N. A. A. C. P., and no pains will be spared in half of these eleven Negroes, now held in charges of murder. The N. A. A. C. P., reports dispatches from Detroit to the effect that all the defendants appeared before Judge Faust on Tuesday, Sept. 22nd, when effort was made to have them released under bail. Judge Faust declined to admit bail for any of the defendants and ordered their imprisonment to be continued. An additional hearing on the question of bail, this time before another Judge, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26. In connection with the case, Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made the following statement: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People regards the case of Dr. O. H. Sweet and his codependants as one of the most important it has ever attempted to defend. Those people in defending Dr. Sweet's home were standing for the right of the Negro to choose where he shall make his home and to live unmolested. We can expect such cases to increase until the U. S. Supreme Court of Washington, in the case now carried there by N. A. A.' C. P, determines the right of the Negro to fix his home exactly as do all other American citizen." EDUCATION WEEK AMERICAN (Columbian Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—A program for the observance of American Education Week this year has been agreed upon by the U. S. Bureau of Education, the National Education Association, and the American Legion, under whose joint auspices American Education Week is promoted annually The week will start on Monday, November 16th, and end on Sunday, November 22nd. The purpose of the week is to impress upon the people of the United States the importance of education and to call attention to the present conditions and needs of the schools. INDIANA SIGN BARS NEGROES FROM TOWN (Preston News Service) HOBART, IND., Oct. 2.—Stone pillars, flanking the northern entrance to this town now warn the Negro he is barred from it.

GOLDESN TEXT — For Him we live, and move, and have our being — Acts 17 22. 17 28 PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Tells the People About God JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Preaches on Near Hill Mary Hill. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- 1C—God the Father of All Mankind YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- 1C—True and False Ideas of God. I. The Idolatry of the Athenians (= 16). Athens was the intellectual metropolis of the world at that time, the home of the world's greatest eloquence and philosophy. Paul's spirit was stirred within him when he saw the city holls given to idolatry. II. Paul Disputing With the Athonians (vv. 17-21). In the Synagogue (v. 17a). 1. In the Synagogue (V. 167) True to his usual custom, he went into the Jewish synagogue and entered into earnest argument with the Jews and devout persons. 2. In the Market Place (vv. 10-21). From the Jews he turned to such as were found in the market place. Here he came into touch with the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. The former were atheistic materialists. They denied the doctrine of creation, and gave themselves up to sensual indulgences since they rejected the idea of a future judgment. The latter were pantheists. When they heard the preaching of Paul they desired to know what new doctrine he preached, so they invited him to the Areopagus where he might speak to them of his new doctrine. They inquired as to what this "babbler" might say. Since the Athenians spent their whole time either in telling or hearing some new thing, they were willing to listen to Paul. The word, "babbler" means literally, "seed picker." They conceived Paul to be a globe-trotter who had gathered up seeds of truth here and there over the world, and that he was somewhat like themselves, interested in talking about that which he knew. III. Paul's Address on Mars' Hill (ry. 22.31). 1. The Introduction (yy, 2223). 1. He did not accuse them of superstition, but as in the Revised Version, he introduces his discourse in a courteous and conciliatory manner, stating that he perceived that they were very religious. This he explains by saying that as he was viewing their city he beheld an altar with an inscription to the unknown god. This was his point of contact. He proceeded at once to connect it with the idea of the Living God, implying that this altar had been erected to Him. 2. The Body of His Discourse (vv. 2431). (1) A Declaration Concerning God (vv. 2432). a. He created the material universe (v. 24). This was a direct blow at the philosophy of both the Epicureans and the Stoics. h. His Spirituality and Immensity (v. 2425). He is not worshiped with men's hands as though He needs anything neither is He confined by any sort of a religious temple. Being essentially spiritual, He demands heart service, and being transcendent, above all, He is not confined to earthly temples. c. His Active Providence (v. 25). He gives existence, bestows needed gifts, and as sovereign, directs all things. (2) A Declaration Concerning Man (v. 2621). a. This was a blow at the foolish Athenaian pride which supposed that they were superior to all other people. This proposition he proved from their own literature (v. 29). b. Nations have their place by the sovereign purpose of God (v. 26). c. Men Should Seek God (v. 27). His goodness and grace in supplying all our needs, and ordering that even the affairs of the nations should move men to see and seek God. d. The Pressing Obligation to Repent (iv. 30-31). This was his supreme message. IV. Results of Paul's Preaching (iv. 32-34). 1. Some Mocked (x. 82). This is even the case today. Men and women will mock the preacher who preaches a judgment to come. 2. Some Procrastinates (v. 32). Many do not mock, but they be late to accept and not upon the urgency of the message 2. Some Believed (v 31). Wherever the gospel is preached there are some who believe and are saved. Men succeed in proportion to the fidelity of their views and the instinctivity of their purpose. If you can find out a man's quitting point, the place where he gives up, turns back, you can measure him pretty easy.—Marden Jesus loves to hear the earnest prayer of a little boy or girl more than he does a long hypocritical prayer of a big preacher.—Gospel Minister. --- As Men Succeed Children's Prayers RENT A FORD DRIVE IT YOURSELVES NEW FORDS ALWAYS Phone Mkt. 3626 REMEMBER THE LOATION 119-21 N.

DURKES HAS INSULTED THE WHOLE NEGRO RACE. «Howard Welfare League) Dr. L..4-e's administration, He has wvtu din » the noward students and \euciiers ag @ prince holding himself aioot trom a low caste that might cvivamnate him, Members of his aduu.y When meeting Negroes on vne campus will speak to them in a pa- tron.eng fashion; and in meeting tnose self-same Negroes in the city, wey never see them, Former presi- cents of Howard even sent their chil- ica to this institution. Dr. Durkce sends his to inferior colleges of the elty, Between the members of the tamilies of the former heads of How- ara and the students there developed hfe-long friendships which have prov- ed helpful to the whole race. The bunaces studiously avoid any such gontact. For example, it is reported that Mrs, Durkee upon being asked by the wife of a white member of the facuity why the former did not visit the latter, Mrs, Durkee replied that she did not make such visits because yt would mean that she would have to visit also the wives of the Negro members of the faculty. The issue between Dr. Durkee and the Negro race Is clear, Hé has in- sulted the whole group. He has treat~ cd all Negroes with the utmost con- tempt, and so has Dr. Charles Brown, chaurman of the Board of Trustees, in his insulting letter saying that he and his co-workers are backing Dr. Durkee in spite of these offences. Any race that will not resent such an in- sult must stand before the world ad- judged an aggregate of arrant cow- ards, But let the public be assured that the self-respecting Negroes of this country will tise to the occasion. ‘They will never cower jn the dust of this humiliation, They will acquit themselves hke men and be strong. _ . .

BARNES. That three weeks of school have about passed? Many pupils are not in good running shape. This lack of preparedness is due perhaps several reasons: one might be attributed to the lack of interest on the part of the parents in their children. This reason is doubtless the most deplurable of all; of course not many parents will admit that they have no anything behind the child a horse. Many parents permit their children to go for weeks and some times months without their full gain. and I don't seem to be I should. The teacher tells the child that he isn't herself and rots the teacher; when at same time, the teacher is real minded over the child's condition; for she desires the child should be teachers then many human problems with which mary human problems with which I have to deal. --- TELEPHONE MARKET 3139 DAY AT WICHITA, KANSAS, Editor and Publisher NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Assistant Editor Assistant Editor Assistant Editor Enter St. Phone M. 1603 Local Editor Enter June 12th 1919, at the Post under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Another reason to which we might attribute the child's lack of preparedness for school is the financial strain of the parents. This condition might be occasioned by the lack of managing ability or poor health or other reverses. Still another reason might be spoken of as ignorance of the school requirements. The this reason is seldom experienced, it is sometimes a serious hindrance to the school's success with the child. Sometimes notices are sent to the parents by the pupils and are not delivered, hence the parents do not know that the pupils' needs are so acute. All this will be eliminated if the parents will question the child about his work and also confer with the teacher. The good teacher is pleased to have you talk to her about your child. It will pay.
