THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 20, No. 24, FARM RELIEF From now on it can be put down beyond any shadow of doubt that the next Republican platform will carry a plank on the subject of farm relief. In its last platform the Republican Party went on record for the relief of the American farmer in the following words: "We recognize that agricultural activities are still struggling with adverse conditions that have bro't deep distress. We pledge the party to take whatever steps are necessary to bring back a balanced dilion between agriculture, industry and labor, which was destroyed by the Democratic Party through an unfortunate administration of legislation passed as war measures." "We affirm that under the Republican Administration the problems of the farmer have received more serious consideration than ever before, both by definite Executive action, and by Congressional action, not only in the field of general legislation but also in the enactment of laws to meet emergency situations." The writer of this article could name the Kansas Statesman who originated this idea upon which the plank was based, but it is not necessary to do so at this time. However, every delegate to the next Republican Convention who is sent there from the agricultural central of the South and West, should keep this fact foremost in his mind, viz. that while all this excitement in and out of the press is raised over the question of farm relief very little if anything is spoken or written of the level-headed Kansas statesman who first put Farm Relief on the political map of the United States. True, when his name was at one time mentioned in the Republican Convention all the agriculturists from the South and West who were delegates felt inclined towards him and wanted him to go up higher. But, even then, his friends on the Poor of the Convention did not make mention of the fact that the original impetus given to farm legislation was mainly through and by the outstanding efforts of the senior Senator from the Sunflower State. But what is farm relief, anyway! The kind of farm relief which President Coolidge now says he would agree to is indicated in the President's message vetoing the relief bill in the last Congress. The President then stated: The chief objection to the bill is that it would not benefit the farmer. Whatever may be the temporary no one can deny that in the long influence of arbitrary interference on prices will be governed by the law of supply and demand. To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them on a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption, is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature. Experience shows that high prices in any given year mean greater acreage the next year. This does not necessarily mean a larger crop the following year, because adverse weather conditions may produce a smaller crop on a large acreage, but in the long run a constantly increasing acreage must of necessity mean a large average crop. We must be careful in trying to help the farmer not to jeopardize the whole agricultural industry by subjecting it to the tyranny of bureaucratic regulation and control. That is what the present bill will do. But, aside from all this, no man can foresee what the effect on our economic life will be of disrupting the long-established and delicately adjusted channels of commerce. That it will be far-reaching is undeniable, nor is it beyond the range of possibility that the present bill, if enacted into law, will threaten the very basis of our national prosperity, through dislocation, the slowing up of industry, and the disruption of the farmer's home market, which absorb 90 per cent ARKANSAS HAS ANOTHER LYNCHING BEE (Wreston News Service) WILMOT, ARK., Sept. 3.—Less than eight hours after he was alleged to have attacked a young married woman here, early Friday morning, Winston Pounds was taken from a posse of deputy sheriffs and hanged to a tree one and one-half miles from Wilmot. The woman's husband is supposed to have been in Little Rock, and a sister, who was spending the night with her, aroused neighbors. The man fled to the woods. Traced by bloodhounds, he surrendered to sheriff John Riley, without a struggle. Pounds was aged 22. Early Friday morning while the sheriff was preparing to take Pounds to Hamburg, the county seat he left the man in front of a garage with some deputy sheriffs in charge for a few minutes. A mob of about fifty men drove up, covered the deputies with guns, forced the man into an automobile and drove away. Early Saturday, no arrests had been made. GEORGE BELL BLAST VICTIM DIES (Preston News Service) McKEESPORT, PA., Sept. 2- George Bell, aged 45, of Eighth St. Elizabeth, died in the McKeesport Hospital, Wednesday, from burns he received when the gasoline tank of an automobile exploded in a road near Elizabeth, early Sunday Morning, a coroner's report stated. Details of the accident are unknown. Now, then, if the reader will turn to the proposed legislation known as the Curtis-Aaswell Bill of the 69th Congress, for the purpose of establishing a National Farm Commodity Marketing Association to aid in the orderly Marketing and in the control and disposition of the ties, and to place the agricultural surplus of agricultural commodities, and to place the agricultural industry on a sound commercial basis, to encourage national co-operative marketing of farm products, and other purposes, he will find in the text of that measure the identical suggestion of relief indicated in President's Message. So that, it would seem, if this country is to have farm relief by Federal legislation it will we through and by the character of relief carried in that bill. As always the case-"A prophet is without honor save in his own country," and, so too, many public spirited Republicans who have given their very lives for the success of the G. O. P., are barely thought of when Presidential convention comes around. But it is to be hoped that the men and women composing the delegations from the southern and western agricultural sections to the next Republican nominating convention, will keep before their minds the salient facts told in this letter on farm relief. In the last Republican Presidential Convention the delegates from the South and West who saw the necessity for farm relief legislation numbered no less than 471 or nearly one-half of all the delegates attending the National Convention. These delegates were from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming. Respectfully, J. E. JOHNSON, Washington, D.C. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 1927 CINCINNATTI GIRL FREED AFTER ACCIDENT CHIARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 3—Miss Anne Crager, (white) aged 18 of Cincinnati, Ohio, was freed of a charge of manslaughter preferred against her as the result of the death of Samuel Hardin, Jr., aged 8, who was run down by an automobile driven by Miss Crager. The boy is said to have jumped off the rear end of a buggy directly in the path of the machine. The boy's parents told authorities that it was impossible for the girl to keep from hitting the child. drive the tractor hauling it, and the other to manipulate the machine. They can pick two to five bales a day, equivalent to what two men could do by hand labor in eight to 15 days. THE BOYS DIDN'T LIKE CORPSE MEMPHIS, TENN., Sept. 7. Eight young men who were engaged in the precarious pastime of "African Gold" in an undertaking establishment, submitted to arrest rather than pass through a room in which there was a corpse, they testified in city court Tuesday. The judge was sympathetic and let the boys off with the enormous fine of $1.00 each LOUISIANA JURY INDICTS TWO POLICEMEN ON BRUTALITY CHARGE LOUISIANA JURY INDICTS TWO POLICEMEN ON BRUTALITY CHARGE (Preston News Service) NEW ORLEANS, LA., Sept. 9—Two white policemen were indicted by the grand jury in the criminal court Tuesday and released under bail of $2500 each on charges of assaulting and beating John D. Johnson, a well known Negro plasterer, on Aug. 9. Both officers deny the charges. John Doskey and Joseph Tierney, corner of St. Charles Ave. and Cadiz Johnson after arresting him at the two patrolmen, are accused of assault-St., Aug. 9. According to the affidavits the two officers went to Johnson's home, ransacked it of personal belongings for porpurted evidence of burglary, took Johnson to the 7th Precinct and beat him. Johnson visited District Attorney, and preferred charges against the Eugene Stanley with his employer two officers. On the way to the night court, Johnson further alleges, blood from his wounds after the beating was so obvious that the policemen stopped enroute and washed the wounds salt and water. COTTON PICKING DEVICE SUCCESS (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, ILL. Sept. 9—Another pictureque feature of the old South is on its way to the discard, with the perfecting of a machine that will pick cotton. It will supplant the armies of Negroes working through the vast whiteness of the cotton fields. The International Harvester Company announced last week that the new machine will cut the last bond that has tied the cotton planter to slow and costly hand labor and it will drive hundreds of thousands of Negroes to other employment. Two men can operate the picker—One to A. M. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN- TION HELD IN LITTLE ROCK LITTLE B ROCK, ARK., Sept. 3.

FORGING AHEAD (Preston News Service) George M. Johnson, a native of Roanoke, Va., and who for the past 15 years has resided in Pennsylvania, is the head of a concern employing a dozen mechanics manufacturing coal mining safety devices. Mr. Johnson has taken out more than a score of patents on his various safety devices and mine appliances. The manufacturing plant is located at Jeannette, Pa. UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATE LEGISLATION DE STROYS CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATE LEGISLATION DE STROYS CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS (Columbia Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9- A prominent Democrat recently emphasized his belief that "the state must be supreme within its orbit," and that "there is a very strong tendency at federal encoachment of state sovereignty," thus again magnifying the theory of the Democratic Party that there is no right given to a citizen by the federal Constitution which the legislative functions of a state need to respect when such rights are in conflict with the spirit of that state. Negroes of America have just cause to remember the legislative history of the Democratic states, which followed closely upon the emancipation of the slaves in a last desperate effort to continue some form of bondage and oppression. For instance, the legislature of Mississippi passed laws requiring certain officers to report to the probate courts all free Negroes under the age of 18 years, whose parents were without means to support them, or refused to do so; thereupon the co should order them to be apprenticed until they became of age. In choosing the master for the new apprentice the former owner was to have the preference. Severe penalties were enacted in case the apprentice ran away, or if any person furnished him with food and clothing. The same legislature enacted that all free Negroes over 18 years of age, found with no lawful employment or business, should be deemed vagrants and be subject to a heavy fine. If unable to pay the fine, the freeman was to be "hired out," preferably to his old master for a term sufficient to produce the amount of the fine. The laws of South Carolina were drafted upon the same lines as those of Mississippi. In order to follow any pursuit, except one of the most menial character, a Negro was requested to pay a license fee, which was practically prohibitory, and which was not required of any other race. The laws of Florida created a criminal court with jurisdiction to RUN DOWN BY TRUCK; INSTANTLY KILLED DUNN, N. C., Sept 2—Charlie Simmons, aged 22 years, was instantly killed Thursday night when he was run down by a heavy loaded truck on the public highway near Spring Branch Church in Sampson county. Simmons' neck was broken when the front wheels of the truck loaded with lumber passed over him. Simmons was riding on the truck and jumped off and ran in front of the truck to catch a faster moving vehicle. He fell directly in front of the truck. WOMAN RELUCTANT ABOUT TALKING SELMA, ALA., Sept. 9—A demented but harmless woman calling herself, "Kittle" and refusing to talk, was arrested by officers of Douglas County, in the Orville neighborhood, where she had frightened a whole community of persons from their homes by her strange actions. The helpless creature was brought to the county jail and given a comfortable berth until she can be sent to the Negro Asylum for insane, near Mobile. The woman is a stranger to all who have seen her and is unable to give any information about herself or place of residence. The only words she speaks is "yes sir," to all questions put to her by officers of the jail. MASK LAW PASSES ALA. SENATE (Preston News Service) MONTGOMERY, ALA., Sept. 7—The Tompkins Anti-flogging measure, making it a felony to whip or assault any person in Alabama, while wearing a mask, was passed by the Senate, Wednesday, without debate. The vote was 19 to 0. The bill now goes to Governor Graves for signing, and it is believed it will become a law within five days. try for vagrancy and other crimes for which, under the law, punishment was not provided. In the proceedings of this court, no indictment or written pleadings were required. Special criminal statutes were passed, aimed at the Negro and providing for contracts with "persons of color" for the purpose of labor. These contracts were given a peculiar sanctity so far as the obligations of the Negro were concerned. A violation on the part of the employer subjected him to a mere civil liability; but a violation on the part of the black man constituted a helnous crime for which he was liable to be "pilloried, or whipped with 39 lashes or hired out for one year," without recompense. With the final passing away of these infamous and unconstitutional state legislative enactments, and with recent decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court declaring that there are certain inalienable rights of citizenship which no state may legislate away from any citizen of the United States, no matter where he may reside, Negroes know, as never before, that unconstitutional state legislation destroys citizenship rights; and they resolve that certain federal boundaries remain, which cannot and must not be disturbed by the state legislation. And it is upon this legislative restraint placed upon the states by the Constitution that Negroes have advanced in the blessings of citizenship, even in the Democratic areas, which are still loath to recognize that the sovereign government of the people, as administrator by the Pr Five Cents Per Copy ROLAND HAYES MEMORIAL SCHOOL Columbian Press Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9- Roland Hayes, the celebrated tenor, has recently purchased a tract of 600 acres of land near Calhoun, Ga., where he was born, to be used as the site for a school in memory of his mother.

LOUIS MO., Sept. 9—A farm survey of the flood districts in Arkansas and Louisiana, is being made by Glen F. Wallace, farm marketing agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad's St. Louis Office and he reports that there is a surplus of hay and corn in much of the flood territory where such crops were planted after it was too late to plant cotton. Many of these crops are in excellent condition and will make good yields. Mr. Wallace is trying to ascertain the amounts of these crops that will be available for shipment add he is also trying to locate places where feed will have to be shipped during the winter.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Worshiping in God's House JUNIOR TOPIC—A Young Man Love, for God, in House INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP+ Courses for Holly House IC-Love for God's House FOUND PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP. IC-The Value of God's House to a Community. The first task of Solomon after his coronation was the building of the temple, a privilege which was duly to his father, David. In his preparation for this task he secured wood from King Hiram of Tyre, stones for the foundations from the Phoenician skilled workman also from Isling Hiram. It was located on Mount Morlash (11 Chron. 3:1). The suitability of this place was due to the fact that the Lord had appeared here to Abraham. Its dimensions were 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It contained the brazen altar, the laver, the golden candlesticks and charihm. The dedication of the temple was arranged to take place at an auspicious time. The dedicatory services consisted of: 1. Bringing Up the Ark (vv. 111). The ark of the covenant was type of Jesus Christ. God dwells among men through Jesus Christ (John 1:11). The ark was God a holy dwelling place. This, therefore, must be brought up and placed in the temple, for the manifestation of the divine presence was the real dedication. When the house of God was to be dedicated the king arranged for a representative anthering of the people, consisting of the elders, princes and heads of the tribes. There were many great men present, but only the priests, God's appointed ministers, moved the ark. The fatal experience of Uzzah in David's time was doubtless clear in their minds. Solomon profited by the blunder of his father. Connected with this service was a very great sacrifice, one in keeping with the occasion. The ark with the two tablets of stone under the mercy seat shows God manifesting Himself to his people on the ground of a law perfectly kept and since atoned for by the shedding of blood. At the completion of the sacrifice, the temple was filled with the glory of the Lord. II. Solomon's Address to the People (vv. 1221). He points out to the people that God had chosen David to be king, yet for certain reasons He would not allow him to build the temple, providing that his son should do the work. Now that the work was done, the temple was built and the ark of the covenant was in its place, they could be assured that God had raised him up in the room of his father. III. Solomon's Dedicatory Prayer (vv. 2253). The ark having now been placed in the most holy place, and the address to the people being endowed, the king pours out his soul to God in prayer. In this prayer Solomon gratefully acknowledges God's goodness in the past, giving glory to Him, and pleads that His promise to his father be verified (vv. 22-20); he prays that God's eyes might be continually open toward the temple which He had now taken possession of (vv. 27-33); so that (1) in case of contention between parties He would judge between them (vv. 31, 32); (2) in case of being smitten by the enemy, even though they had sinned, upon confession of the same, God would forgive and restore (vv. 33, 34); (3) in case of famine as chastenement for sin, upon confession and prayer before the temple, God would forgive and send rain (vv. 35, 36); (4) in case of pestilence and sickness, if they pray to God toward the temple, God should hear and forgive (vv. 37-40); (5) in case of the coming of the foreigner who comes at the news of God's greatness, and prays toward Jerusalem, his prayers should be heard (vv. 41-43); (6) in case of going out to battle, their cause should be maintained (vv. 44, 45); (7) in case of being in captivity because of sin, God should hear their prayers and restore (vv. 40-53). IV. Solomon Blesses the People (vv. 5461). On the strength of the covenant promises, he invokes His presence always with them to keep them faithful, and exhorts the people to have their hearts perfect before God, walking in His commandments and statutes. V. Solomon and the People Offer Sacrifices of Thanksgiving (vv. 6200).

We store our minds and hearts by investigation, association, observation and Investigation. Study good books, associate with good people, observe the day and opportunities and speak often to Go in prayer. Keep the mind full, the hear clean, and the thoughts pure. You must live where you think and think where you live; you cannot keep your body one place, your mind and heart another, for you are one person. The only remedy against the evils of modern society is pure thinking. You cannot correct society with law it takes grace and truth. If we would influence the deeds of the twentleth century, we must control the thoughts of the age. Not only the minister, but the church is admonished to think straight. "Ideals always lead to the muscler for expressions." "You tell me what you are thinking about now and I will tell you what you will be twenty years hence." "The muscles are the history recording the thoughts of yesterday." The thinkers are the wonder-workers. God help us to control our thinking and we will have no difficulty controlling our words and acts. Cherryvale News Notes BETHELHEM BAPTIST CHURCH REV. WM. THOMAS. PASTOR S. S. 9:45, opened by Supt.
