Five Cents Per Copy KQUAL RIGHTS _ LEAGUE 7 : DELEGATION » .' SEES THE ..+. PRESIDENT The National Equal Rights Leugue and the United Colored American Committee Friday nvon, had an aus cience at the White House at which time they presented the race's sesqui centennial of the Declaration of In- dependence petition, against Federal cmploye segregation, at the midale of American ‘Independence Week. Twenty persons compused the delel gation, The audience was conducted by Maurice W. Spencer, treasurer of the lraguc, who introduced the delegates, explicitly stating their purpose. After intruducing the del egates he presented Wm. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, secretary of the N. E.R. L., who presented thesented the petition to the President, He placed on the table a big pile of pe- titions with 25,000 signatures from 40 states specifying one from Maine, and four from California, saying they proved universal geographical oppo- sition to federal segregation. He also presented one from the 372nd” Batallion, Massachussetts National Guards which Mr. Coolidge author- ized when governor. Mr. Mr, Trot- ter read the petition «nd declared segregation to be inequality of rights and asking for its remova) for the race which shed the first blood for independence. He then asked the President to lead the day in having the United States make the 150th an- niversary of American Independence the beginning of a new American epoch for the abolishment of color caste, proecription, segregation and pubhe ostracism, by himself remove ing segregation of the colored clerks of Washington. He said ths exam- ple by the government had given great impetus to every form of seg- regation and unless the President would abolish it now disaster was inevitable. Finally he urged aboli- tion was a fair return for over '150 years of fighting, dying and sacrifice ing and in just appreciation of a per- feet record of loyalty with never a traitor, Rey. Thos, S, Harten, national or- ganizer, urged the President to lve up to the traditions of Massachus- setts, which he believed he would. The President replied to the spokes- men in a calm, friendly manner, that some segregation had been removed and he would continue to remove more gradually until it was all re- moved, The delegation was as follows: James L.

P. WOMEN SEEK TO FORM A. CLUB OF MAIDS aes er ee ee TULSA, OKLA, July 8—Plans for aiding in the organization of a Ne- gro Repuklican women's club in the city hall were made Thursday after- noon, The Negro club idea was tntroduc- ed after several women reported that their, maids had been interested and had asked for suggestions, Flans were also made to conduct a membership campaign to secure 2 representative in the club from each precinct, —s—— THEN. A. A. €. P At\the regular monthly meeting of the Local Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., it was decided to end the cam- paign for srmbership on the first Sunday In August. The Goal is two hundred members. Each member is urged to interest others in this great work and secure at least two new members by that time, which will assyre “going over ithe top.” oe A resume of the Williams’ case was givcn and other business of impor- tance attended. You may not find in these parts among our group, that awakened spirit of rdcial consciousness common in Missiseipp!, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, but remember that the environments of opposition and prejudice that contributed for these social, economical and educa. tional developmente are lacking here fn Kansas, causing our group to look to a white printer, druggist and doce tor for a professional service before their own, The churches and their leaders must demonstrate a more co-operative association to develop the economical and Christian hfe of our people. Selfish motives, denomi- national jealousy and individual I+. terest with deception and hypocricy must be left out of the minds of the so-called poltical, soctal,professional and industrial leaders before the Mars can rise. And now Editor Sims, as I leave Wichita, and may never see you again, as the trains carry me from West to East and from North to South to dee liver my messace to the sons of Ham and Japheth; Yea, and-finally when my steamer steams through the At- lantie Ocean, Strait of Gibralter, Red Sea, it is my hope that when profess sional jfealoury and dishonesty shall come into your pathz, that you will remember that the goal {s not gained without a struggle, Cc.

A. July 7—Start- lung’ revelations of slave trade in the African province of Bechuanaland, came out this week when Simon Rat- shosa, one of the native princes of the largest tube of Bamangwatos, testified in his trial for an attempt to murder Chief Tschekedi. Simon said the Masawara slaves told him their masters have the pows er of hfe or death over them, The penalty for killing a slave is no more than lhillng sheep and cattle. The slaves declared their masters beat, burn or shoot then if they run away, do not pay them for their work. The Bamangawatos make Masawara g0 into the wild fields to steal Masawari children; and Lring them Into slavery. ‘The prince, during cross-examina- tion, said that he had sefn Masawari slaves with reins around their necks being driven lke horses, and has seen others burned at the stake, but that he did not dare to interfere, be cause the tribal headman control the rich slave trade, and really rule the country. ‘BLACK AND WHITE If you could know You're prejudiced, And he could see the name; If you and he could both sit down, Without contempt or shame-— Your share of guilt or blame— Yuor share of gullt or blame— You'd find that hate and prejudice, Alone engenders strife; And thet the law of give and take, Js but the Law of lifet \ Stop thinking black; Cease thinking white, And other common lore— Black's bus descriptive of a race; And white means nothing more, Just men are we, men black and white, —Just men—Ben rich and poor; Some fortunate—some otherwise As on the road we plod Some lynched and burned, eome cru- elfied, But all, the Ss Song of God, White doesn’t mean A thing—except To help as human can— ‘Tis not the black, 'tle not the white That glorifies the man, If I am black, Pivinely so— Why should he understand?

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IO-The Blessing of a Religious Home I. Moses' Parentage (v. 1). Both father and mother were of Lervical stock. Being from the same tribe, they had a common bond of interest and sympathy. Amram had the good judgment to choose for a wife a woman who possessed sympathies and ambitions in harmony with his own. 11. Moser' Birth (v. 2). Two children were born to Amram and Jochebed before Moses—Aaron and Miriam. However, Moses was the first one that his mother was assured was to be the deliverer of the chosen people. There was something striking about this child which caused her to believe that it was sent of God. She saw that he was a "goodly child." In Stephen's speech (Acts 7:20) he asserts that the child was "exceeding fair," or fair to God. No doubt his mother believed him to be the deliverer of his people and instilled that truth in his mind from childhood. Because of this belief she had confidence that somehow God would save him from the cruel hand of the king. Though Pharaoh's edict was in force, his mother's faith was such as to cause her to ignore it and hide Moses for three months. The hiding of the child was not because of fear, but because of faith (Heb. 11:23). It was her faith which made her brave to ignore the king's edict. Though Moses' mother had faith, she did not ignore the proper use of means. Pharaoh's plan was that every male child should be destroyed, but God had planned otherwise for this child. Perhaps the story of how Noah and his family were saved in the ark suggested to his mother the expedition used, namely, the ark of bulrushes. Doubtless she was familiar with the place where Pharaoh's daughter came to inthe, and believed that somehow through her the child would be saved. She placed the ark at the particular place where it would attract attention. It is interesting to note the steps as pointed out by another, by which God's plan was carried out. 1. The mother's wit. She placed the baby at the proper place and at the opportune time. Then, too, Mirlam was no doubt stationed as a watch to aid in the affair (v. 4). 2. A faithful sister (v. 7). Had Miriam not been faithful, humanly speaking, Moses' life would not have been preserved and properly nursed and educated at the proper time. This should be a worthy example for every sister, causing her to exercise watch and care over her brother. B A woman's curiosity (v. 5). This strange object among the flags attracted the attention of Phi raah's daughter and she directed her mails to bring it to her. 4. A woman's compassion (v. 6). When the ark wa. brought and opened the baby wept. That woman has lost her feminine instinct who is unmoved with compassion at the cry of a lonely, motherless baby. 5. The baby's tears (v. 6). The tears aroused her womanly in stinct, and at the suggestion of Miriam the baby's mother was hired to nurse her own child. No one can nurse a child so well as its own mother. IV. Moses' Education (v. 0). 1. Moses was first educated at his mother's knee. During this time his character took form. Here his mind was filled with the Word of God and he was made acquainted with the Jewish hopes and prospects. In those early years no doubt the indomitable purpose was fixed to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of slim for a season (Heb. 11:24-20). Seeing by faith the destiny of her child, Jothebed made good use of her time. 2. At the Egyptian court (v. 10). It was here that he became acquainted with all the wisdom of the Egyptians (Acts 7:22). This was of great importance. It peculiarly qualified him to be the lawgiver and historian of his people. Our Present Lot Of nothing may we be more sure than this; If we cannot sanctify our present lot, we could sanctify no other. Our heaven and our Almighty Father are there or nowhere.—D. Martineau. Purity If a man is so pure-minded that he will not have anything to do with people who are not pure-minded his purity takes him out of the category of humanity—Henry Ward Beecher. St. Mary Baptist Notes Rev. J. E. Douglas, Pastor. Sunday School opened at its usual hour, 9:30 with Supt. and her staff of officers present; lesson was wonderfully taught by the teachers. At 11 o'clock service, Pastor read for Scripture Lesson, 7th chapter of St. Matthew, 1st to 8th verse. Afterwhich we entered into an old-time covenant meeting; the Holy Spirit ran like wild fire, seemingly, every one gave vent to their feeling in their little sermonettes. The Lord's Supper was administered. Invitations were extended; four came forward. At 6 p. m., Union was opened on time. They are doing nicely under the leadership of Bro. J. L. Anderson. True and Tried had charge of program, they also won the banner for finance. At the 8 o'clock services; after devotionals, the Pastor took his text from the 7th chapter of Joshua. Theme from 10th and 12th verses: "In Touch With God;" was the chief theme. The Pastor preached a wonderful sermon. Invitation extended, one came forward. The City Wide Union will hold its regular monthl meeting at Calvary Baptist Church at 3:30 p.m. The public is invited. Lewis Williams, Reporter. Chanute Notes. The Ten Virgin Rally by the Ch. Ald Society was a great success. Mrs. Ella Rollins and Mrs. C. O. Marshall gave the last entertainment of the drive on Monday nite at the K. of P., an oar drill by twelve girls under the direction of Mrs. Allie Rollins. On Tuesday nite, 8 of the 10 virgins with white robes and candles burning assembled at the church, 2 having been left out on the roadside, They brought forth as the fruits of their efforts $76.61; Sister Birdie Johnson $12.01; Sister Johanna Blanton $10.00; Sister Angie Marshall $10.40; Sister Marie Stevenson $10.75; Sister Ella Rollins $3.10; Sister Hettie Jackson $10.10; Sister Bessie Brooks $10.20; Sister Anna Hubbard $10.05. Sister Alice Crith had charge of the service. Pastor Marshall preached a short sermon on the Ten Virgins. The financial groups are moving on; group No. 3 had a lawn social Thursday night at the home of Mrs. M. G. Glover. They report a success. Sunday services opened with early morning prayer service. We regret that there are Negroes closely enough allied to the henthen to object to this service, but unfortunately we have some in our community. Promotion Day did not bring as many to Sunday School as we had expected; 76 were present—a decided falling away. The Testimonial services were lively at the morning worship hour. B. Y. P. U., under the leadership of Rev. Robt. Wilson, at present, was about as usual. No new developments as yet. Evening service was not so largely attended, the heat being very intense. Pastor Marshall preached from Num. 14:4, subject: "The Spirit of Rebellion." The Lord's Supper was afterwards administered. Many sought other quarters for celebration, the 4th of July. Dr. McGhee and others from Wichita, motored up to spend Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hayden. Sister Anna Hubbard, Mr. Wm. Hart and Mrs Hortense Trumbo are on the sick list. Go to Mrs. Witherspoon, 207 N. Ashly to sell or buy second hand clothing. Read the Religious Race Paper The Negro Star. Dunlap News Notes. Sunday was a lovely day for service; Rev. Mason who has accepted the call, was with us Sunday. At 11 o'clock he preached from 2nd Kings, 9th verse. Subject: "Let a Double portion of thy spirit be upon me." The sermon was very inspiring and full of wisdom. Everybody was high in spirit; several of the sinner men were out to hear him. At 8 o'clock he read for the Scripture lesson, 145th Psalm; text 19th chapter of Gen., 17th verse; subject: "Escape for my life." The message filled our hearts with joy. Rev. Mason is a strong preacher; he is going to spend a few nights of this week and preach for us. He is a fine man. Mr. Osweld Bartlett of K. C. Mo. is visiting his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Morris. Mrs. Angie Smith is leaving for Texas, this week; she has been visiting her father, Mr. Patterson.

Write on c the right to reject any mat once, when you fail to receive THE TENTH AMERICAN STATISTICALLY speaking, every tenth American is a Negro. It is important that the other nineteenths of the population should know how their 10,500,000 fellow Americans are fearing educationally, economically and physically. For the story of their advancement is marvelous. On the occasion of the recent forty-fifth annual national convention at Baltimore, of colored Baptists—comprising 3,000,000 of the Negroes of the country—the Manufacturers' Record took occasion to describe the meeting and to present a report of Negro achievements. It made known that the accumulated wealth of Negroes had increased from $20,000,000 in 1886 to $1,500,000 in 1920. The Negro race supplies one-seventh of all the workers in the United States, including one-third of all iron and steele workers and one-tenth of all railroad workers. Negroes operate 1,000,000 farms, one-fourth of which they own. Annually nearly 1,000 Negroes receive the degree of bachelor of arts or of science from universities and colleges. Church membership has so increased since emancipation that the percentage is higher than that for the general population. Greater progress toward the solution of the race problem is being made in this country now than ever before. The basis of it is good will, and good will is built on respect. Certainly the Negro race deserves respect for its achievements and for the earnestness with which it is striving for further progress. WHEN you stop and think of the conviction that Bishop Gregg, the elected president of Howard University, as to why he resigned, whose ability and integrity warranted hine the place, but felt that the dollars and cents and influence compared with the work of the Master, was nothing, but felt that he must work of Him who sent Him, marked an then you are not prepared to cast a ability and integrity warranted him the works of Him who sent him, while it is day—marked an unusual leader for the Negro Race in this world, in fact, even broader than that an unusual, leader for any race in the world. The mantle has fallen on Dr. Mordecai Johnson, and we fear of the same results as he too believes in the Divine Leadership; every other quality is there, but is busy on the wall of Zion, and he too may not come down. Offices seek great men, but "would-be's" seek offices. THE sad intelligence comes to us of the death of Prof E. W. Bailey of Paris, Texas. Prof Bailey was well known throughout the country as a qualified teacher and educator of many years' standing. Recently, we are informed, he suffered a paralytic stroke which he was unable to find strength to combat. Prof Bailey was the father of Miss Fannie Mine Bailey, who was for a while connected with the Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory of Music, here. Miss Bailey and the entire family have the sympathy of the friends in this their hour of great sadness. A Letter from State Fire Marshal W. A. Elstun, shows that nearly half million dollars is lost in fires in Kansas a month; this ought to make us be more careful about fires. A home destroyed is the savings of a life time. Watch where you throw your matches and take every precaution to safeguard such unnecessary loss. THE Summer School of the Baptist Theological Seminary is now on in Topkha, and if a church really wants to better itself and the community where it is located, it should send at least one if its workers to this school, open from July 6-10, 1950.

Graduated in 1911 from Morchouse College, Atlanta, Ga., with the degree of bachelor of arts, Dr. Johnson was returned two years as professor of economics and history. In 1913 he received the degree of bachelor of arts from the University of Chicago; graduated from the Rochester Theological Seminary In 1919, later becoming pastor of the First Baptist Church of Charleston, W. Va. He received the degree of bachelor of divinity from Rochester Theological Seminary for the writing of a historical thesis entitled "The Else of the Knights Templars," and graduated from Harvard University with degree of master of science and theology.

It is expected he will come promptly to the university, although he is now in Paris, France, traveling with the Shewood Eddy seminar. Justice Peel's Presides In the absence of Dr. Charles R. Brown, president of the board, Justice Stanton Peel, former member of the United States Court of Claims, presided. It was declared after the meeting Wednesday that Dr. Johnson will command strong financial support for the university.

Dumas, John R. Hawkins, Dr. Albert Fushnell Hirt, Dr. Serna W. Brown, and Dr. Ulysses G. B. Pierce.
