Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.19 No.28 The Emancipation Celebration given by members and friends of the Second Baptist Church, Praatt, Kens. on Wednesday, Sept. 22, 1926 was one to be long remembered. The parade denoting the progress of the race was very suggestive. The log cabin was as days of yore. The cotton picking scene was typical of the plantation days. The grandma her float showing the mode of travel after Emancipation, couldn't be beat. many were the floats, horse backriders, automobiles, many others. The following floats are especially mentioned: Sunday School, B. Y. P. U., Mission and Red Cross and the leaders of the various auxiliaries should be complimented for their lovely decorations. The beautiful posters were printed by one of our young mem--You should have seen the horse backriders both women and men. People were here from Great Dend, Larned, Kirkley, Medicine Lodge, Winfield, Wishita, St. John, Kansas City, Hutchinson, Lyons, Horewell and Byers. Aside from our county candidates, which added much to the occasion. Mrs. Blossom Jones of Larned, gave us a splendid address and original peom by Mr. Harding was very good. Mrs. Beatricerice Childs brought us a message filled with inspiration as only Mrs. Childs can. Plenty of refreshments and other eats was served. TANGIBLE JIM- CROW REMOVAL. Demanded of President Cool.dyo with immediate start by National Equal Rights League and Boston Branch on 64th Anniversary of Emancipation Proclamation—Chairman Butler asked to aid—Issue in campaign—Convention in Phila. Boston, Mass., Sept. 1926, Rev. B. W. Swain, vice-president-at-large of the National Equal Rights League, speaking at the 64th. Anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Procalamation in the 12th. Baptist Church, declared dissatisfaction with the President's response to the Seoul Centennial Anti-Segregation Petitioners, for he could not see the segregation "Already removed", nor any "Gradually" removed since any wrong should be wiped out. J. A. Ilagan saw no relief from Coolidge or Sen. Butler, now up for re-election, but a sorry blow of a Jim Crow Beach Law, nor had Butler, after promising, ever instance any specific interview he had with the President on the segregation. Sec'y A. G. Wolff, presiding, called for an end of political childishness. Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, seconding all this, memorialized Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, and Wm. Monroe Trotter, in agreement, memorialized Emery T. Morris and then presented resolutions to Pres. Coolidge and Sen. Butler which were adopted. It said in part; President Coolidge heroby called upon to make now a tangible removal of federal employee segregation of the race freed sixty-four years ago to save the Country from disruption by the white South who are the authors of this segregation, in recognition of this saving by soldier freedom, and to make this sesqui-centennial year of Independence the time and occasion of the abolition of proscription of any race of loya Americans under the Federal government. Rev. Swain announced the 19th. Annual meeting of the League in the Varick A. M. E. Zion Church in Philadelphia, Oct 20-24, as a sesqul rights convention for rights at Sequl City during Sesqul Observance; to which every city is asked to send delegates.

They and many rear relatives attended Metropolitan Baptist Church to hear their Anniversary Sermon preached by Dr. H. B. Bronson. Preceding the sermon, the choir rendered appropriate relections and Mrs. M. C. Matthews read an original poem and praised them for their longevity and trueness to the holy bonds of wedlock; and her poem won much commendation. Pastor Bronson preached an appropriate sermon from Isa. 62:1-5 and Rev. 21:9. After church, Trustee Dyson, his wife and many of his relatives retired to dinner at 344 Washington Bulevard, highly placed with the poem presented to them, and with the sermon and music. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Oct. 1, 1926 MIAMI NEGRO SECTION SUF- PERS GREAT DAMAGE ONLY FEW ARE HURT MIAMI BEACH, FLA., Sept 30— The Negro population of Miami which occupies a segregated part of the city, was almost unscathed by Saturday's hurricanes. There were a few cases of injuries and born property yas destroyed but practically every home was still tenable after the storm had passed. The Negroes refused to believe that the danger was over, however, and hundreds remained indoors until Tuesday, fearful of encountering a recurrence of high winds. COMMUNITY CHEST MEETING. SUNDAY, OCT. 3RD, 3:30 P. M. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH. A meeting of Colored Citizens will be held Sunday, Oct. 3, at Calvary Baptist Church for the purpose of creating interest in the Community Chest.

Every citizen, interested in the Building up our community should be present. Remember 3:30 p. m. AMERICAN NE- GRO EVOLVES FROM RACE ADMIXTURE WHITE AND INDIAN BLOOD PRODUCING NEW TYPE, SAYS COLUMBIA SCIENTIST. NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 1-The American Negro should no longer be regarded as an African type, but as the product of the conditions under which he has developed in this country. This is the conclusion stated by Melville J. Hirshovitz of the Columbia Anthropology Department, in an article in Current History, written in the light of investigations he has made into the ancestry and physical measurements and other characteristics of American Negroes. The American Negro "is not a cross only between Negro and white, but between these two and an appreciable amount of American Indian added for good measure, and he stands on the average, apparently midway between his ancestral population, not having depended to ward either, but, in the process of forming his own type, having merged equally the features he derived from the one and from the other." A typical measurement is that of nostril width, certainly a "key" trait as far as negro-white differences are concerned. For the series Mr. Herskovitz measured the average was 40.96 millimetres. American whites averaged 350, half-blood Sioux Indians 376; but African Ashanti had noses that were 425 millimetres wide on the average, and the Kajji of West Africa averaged 45.51. Cur American Negroes are about half-way between the ancestral populations. After all this measuring and computing Mr. Herskovitz says, it seems we have, in actual physical fact, a new Negro. RED CROSS OFFICIAL AD- DRESSES TUS- KEGEE STU- DENT BODY. RED CROSS OFFICIAL AD- DRESSES TUS- KEGEE STU- DENT BODY. (Preston News Service) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA, Sept. 30—James L. Fleser, vice chair man of the American Red Cross and his staff assistant, Everett Dix, of Washington, D.C., addressed the student body in the Institute chapel here Sunday. Mr. Fleser spoke on the purposes and program of the Red Cross at morning service. The even ing service was addressed by Mr. Dix "Nothing is so powerful as an idea whose time has come." Mr. Dix stated. "Such an idea is service as represented by the Red Cross. Because of this idea the Red Cross makes a universal appeal. It is the only idea the Red Cross makes a universal appeal. It is the only idea upon which the entire world is organized and united. And the service it renders is without strings. In rendering this service it recognizes no lines of color, race or religion. It sees only the GOOD WILL IN THE MAKING BY W. L. HUTCHERSON Lester Foust, the great Negro Athlete is a member of the Foot Lall Team at the University of Wichita; and in the game against that wonderful Haskail Team, Sept. 25, he gave a good account of himself. He shared honors with his captain, Vermillion as the only two men on the local team to play the entire game. The visiting team branded him, "A Good Sport, Clean and Fast." Foust is possessed of a fine Spirit of good sport-manship, is a clean hard player; and has the happy faculty of making friends with the members of the teams he opposes, and also among his own teammates. His presence on the local team will contribute to the SPIRIT OF GOOD WILL. CURFEW UPPER- CUTS MR. DEMPSEY The downfall of Mr. Jack Dempsey ex-heavy weight boxing champion of the world, with reservations, is not unlike the plight of a white man, who, having been injured in a wreck, preferred death to a ride to the hospital in an ambulance which bore the body of a coloured man. Dodging Dempsey, who became weak in the legs, short of breath, and shy of punching force, after a three years' marathon of evasion of one Mr. Harry Wills, has suffered grievous uppercuts both from Mr. Tunney and Father Time. In his bloom, however, Mr. Dempsey is consoled by the fact that he was defeated "by an American—a fellow countryman—a man who speaks the English language" and scored uppercuts with American punches. Mr. Dempsey, aided by Mr. Ricket and several other good American "sportsmen" did not think it was ethical to fight Mr. Harry Wills for the world's championship, and those years of dodging—not fighting—took their toll from Mr. Dempsey's once husky frame. Mr. Tunny, even before uppercutting Mr. Dempsey into submission, ascribed to the policy of white championship only (that is, of course, excepting another international war is fought) and will probably grow fat, sleek, and slow evading Mr. Wills and battling second and third-raters of his own hue. However, it was good to change champions, because even in the ring, variety is the spice of life Of course prize-fighting is a brutal, barbaric sport; and it wouldn't elevate the Negro race any if Mr. Wills were to fight and win. Yet, as long as Good American and English-speaking sportmen are going to engage in warfare, either in the r... or in the field of shot and shell, why not make it 100 per cent American, just like the Ku Klux Klan says it should be? needs of the afflicted and seeks to alleviate them." In introducing Mr. Dix, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, called attention to the fact that the Tuskegee Institute chapter of the Red Cross is the only one in the country officered and operated entirely by Negroes. Greetings from northern friends of the Institute were brought by C. Harvey Robinson, northern financial agent, who also addressed the evening services. He urged the student to put forth every effort to make a success of life. KING RAMA VI OF SIAM LEFT 3,750,000 DEBTS. BANGKOK, SIAM, Sept. 3030— Rama VI, late King of Siam, who died in November last, left liabilities estimated at $3,750,000. More than half of this sum is represented by Five Cents Per Copy A LETTER FROM OUR BOY. SPRING ST. BRANCH Y. M. C. A. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 22, '20 My dear friend "Hutch": I certainly appreciate your good letter, and the "Church Chronicle", with your report on "Helsingfors". I shall not lose a moment to prove myself worthy of the task here set before me to do. However, I am living in the present and future anticipation of realizing my goal. And with God's help, I shall live a clean and wholesome Christian life. I met young Charles Method at a formal meeting of the Business Men's Club. He was on program to give some reflections of "Helsingfors" and his trip to and from the conference. It was great, and well taken. I was introduced, and asked to outline my program. And I certainly tried to put it over; knowing too, there were some discriminating and critical observers present. I availed myself of a practical and rational presentation. When I had finished, one of the "Digitaries" said: "Say young man, you are something besides a physical director." I have been two Conferences out of town; one a staff conference, and the other was the Physical Directors' Society of Ohio. I was elected to membership in that Society. I shall always keep in touch with you, Edworthy and the men of the Wichita staff, who have menat so much to me I shall write them later. Our Volley Ball Team goes to Detroit October 16th.

The deficit has been taken over by the Government. Rama, in the last years of his life, spent more than $4,500,000 a year. Although Siam is a country where the sun does full duty each day and fogs are scare, the royal bill for electric light was $187,500 a year more than $500 a day. NEW HOPE CHURCH 9TH AND OHIO STS. Rev.

A PROHIBITION FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED AT WILEY COLLEGE MARSHALL, TEX., Sept. 30-It is conceded everywhere that the Wet and Dry question will figure very closely in the next Presidential scientific and reliable data are needed as to whether the Eighteenth Amendment has been beneficial to the people. To answer this question so far as the Negro is concerned, Wiley College is launching a FOUNDATION for the study of "Prohibition and the Negro". It is intended by research and publicity to give the public the facts as to the economic and otherwise advance of the Negro since the Eighteenth Amendment became a part of the Constitution. Wiley has over three hundred college students and if the facts prove the belief, that Prohibition has been beneficial to the Negro, then College men and women of the race everywhere are to be enlisted as leaders in the prohibition movement from every view point. Wiley was among the first of the Negro institutions of the South to throw her weight of influence and work locally to make Marshall dry in the days of local option.
