THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.18,No.52, GOVERNOR ASKED TO INVESTIGATE OCALA LYNCHING PROMINENT CITIZENS REQUEST THOROUGH PROBE AND PUNISHMENT OF THOSE FOUND GUILTY. (Commission on Interracial Co-operation) TALLHASSEE, FLA., April 2- Governor John W. Martin is in receipt of a communication signed by prominent citizens of Ocala, Winter Burk, Orlando," Tampa, and Gainesville, requesting a thorough investigation of the lynching of Chandler Colding near Ocala on January 11th, "in order that the true facts may be given out and that any patties found guilty may be punished accordingly." Among the signers are J. II. Therrell, President of the Ocala Chamber of Commerce; Frank Harris, Editor Ocala Banner; Bishop Cameron Mann and John D. Wing, L. C. Massey of the State Bank, Orlando, D. B. McKay, Publisher Tampa Times; J. M. Farr, L. M. Bristol, C. L. Crowe, and J. R. Benton, of the State University, Gainesville; Mrs. G. W. Atkinson of Tampa, and Mrs. U. G. Swartz and Mrs. A. T. Guy of Gainesville. The letter calls the Governor's attention to the report that the officers in charge of Colding made no effort to protect him from the mob, expresses the conviction that "lynching is under no circumstances justifiable," and asks that the whole affair be investigated in order that justice may be meted out to those found responsible for Coldings death. TEST THESE FACTS A WORLD RELIGIOUS CONGRESS AND SEGREGATION It is a great thing for Birmingham to have the International Sunday School Convention, consisting of delegates from all parts of the world, to come within its gates for a sojourn of a few days. It is one of the city's big opportunities to show itself to advantage. It would be greater still if the city could only recognize that the eyes of the world will be focussed on it and that its behavior in the presence of distinguished company should be above reproach and criticism. But it now appears that its peevishness cannot be controlled by incentives strong enough to prevent a display of its home antics, which will offset much of the fine impression that it is possible for it to make. These delegations will come from all quarters of the world and will consist of all nationalities of men who are making a co-operative effort to learn the truth of human relations and inspire the spirit of Jesus in the world of youth. Shall its complete success be impaired by so unimportant a thing as the allocation of space to the delegates on account of color? Certainly, there is to be a good sprinkling of black people among them. They are a part of the world, too; some from torein count some from various parts of this country; some who are accustomed to such freak antics; some whose experienese have been variable, and some who know nothing of it. Also, this might be said to be the case with the entire delegation from all nationalities. With the Southern social code in mind, it is not singular that the hitch comes on account of black people only; that is due in large measure to local conditions; but is a singularly significant evidence of a narrow conception of duty; and it is an obstinately peevish spirit in performing it on the part of local people after inviting this conferences with assurances that local sentiment would not interfere. The black people of the South are accustomed to rigid measures in efforts at segregation. These measures are forced on them relentlessly. Excluding the accommodations for which charges are collected, however, there would be TEXAS COLLEGE ADDS EQUIPMENT TYLER, TEXAS, March 31, 1926—Texas College has just celebrated the opening of its New Manual Training Shop with appropriate exercises, that effort was begun three months ago without funds, to adequately equip a shop in which the young men might have the opportunity to learn how to handle tools and machinery. Now the shop is supplied with modern machinery electrically driven such as Band and Rip Saws, Sanders, Borer, Lathes and also wood working tools and mechanical drawing equipment, costing several hundred dollars. Already many pieces of excellent cabinet work have been turned out and many orders are booked for similar products given by the citizens of Tyler. This new and essential equipment adds another link to the efficiency of the work at Texas College. STATE WELFARE PROGRAM MUST INCLUDE ALL INTERRACIAL MESSAGE CARRIED TO LEADERS IN ALABAMA SOCIAL WORK. TUSKEGEE, INSTITUTE, ALA. March 26.—Two hundred representatives of Alabama Welfare Agencies were present here, Tuesday at the annual meeting of the State Interracial Committee held in connection with the State Council of Welfare Agencies, of which the Committee is (Continued on page two) practically no difference in the situation, without the rigid restrictions, because they are not the kind of people who intrude themselves where they are unwelcome. They accept segregation where necessities and conveniences force them to do it, but they neither seek it nor accept it from choice or policy. Black people or other localities not accustomed to these rigid measures have the same feeling about it with the added advantage that, in most cases, they can escape the humiliation that comes with the rigid enforcement of the policy. If there is a Heaven, perhaps, all the people will be on equal terms in it—that is, those who get those—the difficulty to get on equal terms in the pursuit of this same Heaven is the problem that makes the whole thing more difficult, seems to put the efforts out of joint and put the Heaven farther and more obscure in the distance. The great principles of Jesus require a getting together here, and those who are unwilling to do it only complicate the very problem they are trying to solve. Certainly, the world concedes the white people superiority, but the world pt. of it is that they interpret it so that to them it does not mean opportunity. Let it be remembered that, if superiority is best interpreted as opportunity, they must either rise to its occasions in the spirit of keepership or fall to the base level on which riches and glory have proven disastrously detrously destructive. The world of Christian brotherhood is too big, its principles are too big, its principles are too great, its temperament is too human, its sentiments are too just, its rewards are too certain for any group to gain much by a misconceived attitude of bitterness or to lose much on account of an attitude of bigness. Religion is so individual, its activities are so optional, its cause is so universal that it would be disgraceful folly for Negroes to accept an arrangement dictated by groundless prejudice and entirely out of harmony with the spirit and purposes of the convention. In the nature of the case, it is presumption to propose it, and the protest and withdrawal of Negro delegates heralded from New York WICIIITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, April 2, 1923. ALLIANCE EXPRESSES DISAPROVAL ALLIANCE EXPRESSES DISAPROVAL To The Birmingham Convention of International Council of Religious Education: To convene April 12th, 1926, Birmingham, Ala. GREETINGS: We the Interdenominational Alliance of Topeka, Kauai, wish to express our attitude toward your policy for the reception of Negro delegates to your Convention of Negro delegates to your Convention of Religious Education, convening on the date indicated above In these days of unrest and suspicion on the part of non Christian folk the world over, as to the real honesty of much that is seeking to pass a Christ an practices, it is exceedingly unfortunate, and painful to us to note your determined decision to strengthen and increase this unrest and suspicion by your refusal to receive, and accord to these delegate the same treatment and courtesies freely and readily given to others of this Convention. In our judgment, there is not the slightest basis in the economy of the salvation of a once crucified and tisen Saviour of mankind, which a hints nor justifies the application of the standard of Christian love and fellowship to one group of human beings but another entirely different ethical yard stile to another group simply because of their race, and its implied traditions, for which they are as far from being responsible, as they are from the poles. We therefore, would write ourselves down as being the most despicable moral cowards in all our Christian commonwealth, if we did not protest with every drop of blood in our bodies, and declare ourselves uncompromisingly opposed to any of our group accepting such unchristian and humiliating accommodation as offered them by you, and that too, in the name of an Organization whose very genius poignantly gives the lie to your line of action toward them.

If the Negro can afford to be a party to his own humiliation he cannot afford to complain about it after it is done. Nor can his friends, in such a self-inflicted situation, afford (Continued on page three) ARROWS (The Literary Commercial Bureau) I. Poem: "We Live In Deeds." II. A Plan for Simplicity. III.

II. A Plaa For Simplicity. This is an age of extravagance and exaggeration. A rich woman will have hundreds of dresses and thousands of pairs of stockings, with innumerable pieces of ingeric. In language exaggeration has reached the point where a puppy is "the dearest thing on earth," or "the sweetest little thing alive." "Form of affection such as "darling, dearest" and "lover," are meaning less, made so by commonalty and exaggeration. The Negro, the one who can least afford it, has caught this fever of extravagance and evagaration. He buys expensive, over-stuffed furniture, when often he has an under-stuffed stomach; he must have a car, but he is far beyond so common a thing as a "Ford;" in clothing he wears the best, regardless of cost; he entertains lavishly—even if he is slow in settling his grocery bill; and, almost universally, he lives beyond his means, in order to make a show and impress others with his importance and worth.

Washington Wed., Afternoon A 15-gallon copper still, a gasoline stove and other paraphermalia were taken in a raid made by police on 1147 N. Washington Ave., Wednesday afternoon, R. Austin and L. C. Carms, were arrested, charged with having liquor in possession, violating the prohibitory law and operating a still. Austin was released under $2,000 bond. Approximately three pints of liquor were taken in the raid. This was said to have been taken with the still found in the basement of the NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK Editor of Negro Year Book National Negro Health Week was established in 1915 by the late Looker T. Washington. In sending out the appeal for its establishment he said: At the last session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference some startling facts were brought out concerning the health of the colored people or the United States; it was shown that 45% of all deaths among Negroes are preventable; that there are 150,000 Negroes seriously ill all the time; that the annual cost of this illness is $75,000,000; that sickness and death cost Negroes annually $160,000,000. Because of these facts I have thought it avisable to ask the Negro people of the whole country and their organizations to join in a movement which shall be known as "Health Improvement Week" beginning April 11 to April 17, inclusive, 1915. The growth of National Negro Health Week in scope and influence is indicated by a comparison of the agencies and organizations included in the 1926 call for National Negro Health Week were entirely among colored people. The 1926 call includes 23 agencies and organizations, 11 of which are for all the people, white and colored. These 23 agencies and organizations are: The United States Public Health Service; The National Health Council; The National Medical Association, the National Tuberculosis Association; The National Association of Graduate Nurses; The National Organization for Public Health Nursing; The American Red Cross; The American Social Hygiene Association; The National Child Welfare Association; The American Chil Health Association; The National Health Circle for Colored People; The National The National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau; The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, The League on Urban Conditions; The Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation; The Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Association; The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools; The Associated Negro Press Association; the State Boards of Health; city boards of health; state medical associations; annual church conferences; insurance companies; farmers' conferences; local schools and churches. During the 11 years of its existence, National Negro Health Week has grown in scope and influence until today it can be regarded as an institution. In addition to the most valuable assistance rendered by the U. S. Public Health Service and other agencies national in scope, a large increase in the number of state, city and county health departments taking an active part in the Health Week observance was noted in 1925. City Health departments likewise were active in the promotion of the observance of National Negro Health Week. There was wide observance of Health Week in the rural communities of the South. This was fostered and largely directed by the county agricultural agents and home demonstration agents, working under the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service. The twelfth annual observance of Health Week has been set for April 4 to 10, 1926, under the auspices of the Tuskegee Negro Conference and the National Negro Business League with the assistance of federal, state, county and municipal organizations. As health departments state, city, and county, have come to participate more and more in the Health Week observance, the importance of the Public health nurse as one of the most, if not the most, effective agency for teaching health education to the masses is becoming more and more apparent. residence.

Negroes in both the south and the North have been benefited probably more than any other group of people by the World War, Bishop Matthew Chan of Crownton, of the Methosth Episcopal Church told the Washington Annual Negro Conference in session here last Friday, "During the war," said Bishop Chan, "Negroes were invited to come North and take the place of laborers who were serving in the army, and in the North they feel better wages, schools and special conditions." NO RETURN TO SOUTH "At the end of the war," he said, "the Negro did not want to go back south. His letters to friends in the South caused more Negroes to go North. "The economic system, to which the South is accustomed, needs Negro labor for its support and the disruption of this system is threatened by the migration that has taken place in the last few years. The large migration of Negroes has forced Southern industry and Southern communities to better the conditions under which the Negro works." Thus, according to Bishop Clair, a denine improvement of the Negro's condition has come directly out of the World war. Reporting the migration and its effects on the South, Bishop Clair said that in a single district of 1,500 Negroes in Arkansas 800 went north within the last year. Within Bishop Clair's diocese is the Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, and each year he makes a trip there. LIBERIA NEEDS CITED. "Liberia," says Bishop Clair, "is a Negro republic fashioned after the Government of the United States. Its officers are Negroes and it stands to day as the only modern governmental organization independently ruled by N. groes. "At present there is no tendency for Negroes there to come to the United States because emigration from the republic inrowned upon and there is little tendency for those in the United states to leave for Liberia. "The thing needed in Liberia to make the republic firmer is more schools, a better educational system and the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached and lived by clergymen and members of churches."

Sunday School onened at 9:45 by Supt. Bertha Moore. Lesson taught by teachers; reviewed by Pastor Rev. Mason. Although Rev. Mason was sick with a cold, he preached three splendid sermons. At 11 he preached from Job 2:9; text, "Hold To Thine Integrity." After services the pastor and some of the members went to Dunlap, to help them in a rally. Rev. Mason preached another powerful and strong sermon from Matt. 23:37; Jer. 9:1; text: "The Weeping Christ." A glorious time was enjoyed by all, spiritually and financially. All arrived back home in plenty time for the evening worship. All are looking forward to the 2nd Sunday in May at which time we hope to raise $150.00 to repair our church. The sick are:—Alberta Lewis, Mrs. Maud Lewis, Deacon Levell, Little Ophelia Pennington, Jr. Riddle and Mrs. Joe Johnson. Mrs. Bell Pennington and grandson, Jr. Martin, returned home, Sunday, after a month's visit in Iola. Rev. Paxton visited in town, Monday, 22nd, he is going East. Mrs. Matt.

TEST THESE FACTS (Continued from page one) him their sympathy. If it is thought that they can get enuggh out of such meetings to balance the loss of self-respect that such humiliation incurs, there is an error either in rating his self-respect or in rating the benefits to accrue from his attendance on the meeting. The fact that error arises from the viewpoint does not altar the results and, since the values of both are unquestionable, no one, who could properly estimate them, would deride his choice or censure his motives. If Birmingham is agonizing prematurely about what its Negroes will think after the meeting is over, it is doing a grave injustice to the pride that Birmingham Negroes have in the ability of their city to do things on a scale compatible with its greatness. With all the rest of the world, what also could they think but that Birmingham had risen to the occasion of a great opportunity and put it over in the fashion of a great city whose enviable facilities and future will attract the eyes and wag the tongues of the world. We are not disposed to embarass our white friends by urging a suitable arrangement, nor to make our presence embarrassing to those who object. Neither do we wish to lead our unsuspecting colored friends into an embarrassing situation nor to take the responsibility for our own humiliation. Our attendance is certain to place on us the responsibility for any embarrassment that comes to any one on account of it; therefore, our choice to stay away is the least evil of the many involved in the matter. The Methodist denominations, both local and general, and the Baptists also, have spoken finally and unmistakably and the matter ends much to the regret of others and to our discomfort. The social and religious atmosphere of Birmingham has not quite reached the state of purity in which meetings can function freely without a nasty aftermath. This is never desirable at any honorable price, and to prevent it by honorable means is a duty, that we owe our city as well as ourselves.—The Birmingham Report ARROWS BY R. A. ADAMS (Continued from page or 3) is a return to simplicity in life and conduct the results of which will be better health, better educational facilities for the children and less of suffering and distress in times of adversity; and it will mean more of happiness and of substantial prosperity. III. Women are Fashion-mad. The women of the world are fashion-mad! They go about the streets and even into the Church of God shamelessly undressed. Thin waists, low-cut gowns, sleeveless dresses, sawed-off skirts, transparent stockings, gaudy bloomers, and indecent postures have gone far beyond the limit of modesty, decenty and morality! Old grey-haired women are among the most notorious offender*. Women church officers, choir members, Sunday School teachers and public school teachers are in the ranks of the fashion-mad. These damable fashions which expose the form and flaunt the nakedness of women not only are violently suggestive but are unmistakably productive of gross immorality. There is no reasoning with women in these matters because they are fashion-mad* and therefore do not realize what they are doing, therefore, the only hope is in the men-husbands and fathers. The man who does not see this danger is blind. The one who refuses to consider and act for fear of giving offense is a moral coward. The man who sees his daughters exposed to the lustful gaze of men and will condone it is a weakling; and because of these weaknesses they are accessories to the crimes resultant. Let the men rise up! Let them rebell! Before it is too late let the men rescue the fashion-mad womanhood and save our tottering civilization! IV. "Plus Ultra."

It is said that when Christopher Colun bus was importuning his Government for funds for his expedition, in order to emphasize his folly, Spain used on her coins this axiom, "Ne plus ultra." He succeeded; Spain was convinced, and as a confession of her mistake and in order to honor her illustrious son, she changed the motto by omitting the first word, so that the motto read, "Plus ultra"—More beyond! So in the light of human experience and with consideration of the finite character of human knowledge, it is well that, in regard to all activities and all efforts toward human advancement we use the mutto with the first word omitted—"Plus ultra—MORE BEYOND!" V. Toting Fair "Tote" is of "Southern expraction." and it means to carry, or bear. In earlier days it had to do with clearing land for cultivation and the custom of 'og-rolling." In those days A. B.

Under the circumstances it was easy to "steal-stick," which meant to slip the bar and shift the burden of the weight on a fellow-carrier. To do this was considered dishonorable; to refrain from taking advantage and to "tote" each one his own share was to "Tote fair." The terms "fair play," "a square deal," which mean honor, honesty, justice, equity, full weight, full measure, equal opportunity all are synonyms' of "tote fair." The expression itself is in line with the "Golden Rule" which is Christ's formula for social righteousness. As is true of the "Golden Rule," "Tote fair" means to put the interests of others on the same plane of justice as our own interests; to engage in no fraudulent practices or transactions nor in the circulation of falsehoods; and, in fact, to take no possible advantage of another in order to enhance our own interests.
