Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE AN OPEN LETTER STATE Vol. 20, No. 29, TO THE EDITOR:— Two recent murders within the same week claimed front page space because of the nayatery surrounding them and the cunning with which they were executed. One occurred in Alabama, and the other in New Jersey. In the Alabama case a wife was killed and the husband's first statement to the officers was that a N. gro had committed the crime. In the New Jersey case a husband was killed and the wife claimed that Nel-oes had committed the crime. Later developments have tended to show that in both instances theocusers were themselves the murderers or the instigators of the crime. It is a common occurrence that when a crime is committed in a community where there is a considerable number of Negroes, the first utterance on the part of the w.citizens is, 'get the Negro. And as a result the real criminals have sometimes gained sufficient time to cover up their tracks while the officers of the law and infuriated citizens are the all too willing victims of this time-worn ruse. And this applies, as the evidence snows, to Michigan as well as Georgia, to the North as well as the South. The ease with which crime may be fastened upon the Negro is an obvious fact of American life. The practice of the press in giving front page space and large headlines to crime stories involving the Negro with no corresponding effort to publish the creditable and substantial achievements of the race, has produced a state of mind where the general public is ready to accept as a fact the mercest suspicion or accusation that a Negro is the perpetrator of a particular crime, and the more revolting it is the more easily it is believed. This is bad enough for the unfortunate individual toward whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, but a more serious consequence is that a not inconsiderable part of the crimes of other races is recorded against the Negro thus placing the stigma of excessive criminality upon the race as a whole and creating a condition which affects their home life and their educational advantages as well as their economic and industrial opportunities. Nor is the effect confined to the Negro. Such incidents are broadcast over the world as typical of American standards of race relations, and it becomes increasingly hard to reconcile such conduct with America's claim to the moral leadership of the brotherhood of nations. In this we as a nation are doing ourselves a great injustice, especially in view of the striking progress that is now being made in race relations in our country along other lines, due in large part to the courageous and liberal editorial policy of the press of all sections, particularly of the South where the situation has been most acute. It is apparent to all fair-minded persons that a situation which makes it possible for the weakest and most helpless group of our citizenship to have placed upon them the stigma of crime on the slightest pretext, is not only a gross injustice to the individuals involved, but places upon the Negro race an almost impossible handicap in its effort to establish its claim to all the rights and privileges of American citizenship. There is no disposition on my part to excuse the criminal element in my own race. They themselves contribute enough to the backwardness of the race and to the propaganda against the race, but adding to this the fact that the criminals of other races may blacken their faces or otherwise simulate the Negro, or may commit a crime and escape the consequences by accusing the Negro, presents a situation which seems to call for the most earnest thought on the part of public authorities and all the leaders of public opinion in this country. For there is abundant evidence that it constitutes an active menace to the rights and liberties of all classes of our citizens. In my opinion, the Negro faces no "TOPEKA, KANSAS, October 4-9, marked another milestone in Baptist History, when the Women's Home & Foreign Mission and Missionary Baptist State Conventions met in the 16th annual session with Shilloh Baptist Church, Rev. L. V. Bolton, Pastor. This famous church, pastor and friends made the messengers' stay so pleasant until it was an easy matter to carry out the will of the Master. The Convention Motto: "Suffering With Christ." The Women's Convention opened on the morning of Oct. 4th, devotion led by officers and messengers of the Kaw Valley District. Rev. J. W. Hayes, Wichita, ably took care of the Bible Institute whose profound reason serve as a rudder for the whole Convention. President, Mrs. Emma Gaines, after appropriate remarks, declared the house open for business. Heart felt welcomes were extended on behalf of the church, local society and district. Mrs. J. W. Gordon responded. Rev. M. J. Burton ably preached the Introductory Sermon. M. S. Emma Gaines delivered her Annual Address; it was received with enthusiasm. Reports of officers showed an advancement in their work from every angle. The women were stirred with the illustrative Bible lecture by Mrs. F. C. Bothle of Chicago. The Junior hour was very effectively conducted by Mrs. G. K. Young of Topeka. The evening Devotional Theme was "Suffering With Christ—In State Mission." Rev. S. Montgomery of Kansas City, preached one of the strongest sermons that was preached in the Convention. Mrs. T. T. Addison of Coffeyville, sang a spiritual solo. Wednesday Morning—Devotional Theme led by messengers of Smoky Hill Dist. Bible Institute, ably and practically conducted by Rev. B. L. Marchant, Wichita. Wichita's Hour proved to be very effective with a symposium: "Mission," "The Extent and Scope of Mission," by Miss Myrtle Taylor, Junction City. Class of People to be Sought, Mrs. Willie Broady of Newton; What we Should Carry on our Mission Tour, by Mrs. E. J. Buckner, Atchison. "God Will Not Accept Us if we Leave Africa Behind," Mrs. M.

All enjoyed the address of Dr. E. L. Scruggs of Baptist Theological Seminary, Topeka. The building of Divinity Hall by the State and District workers resulted in raising about $300.00. The officers were elected in a peaceful manner. The names may be seen in the official directory in the paper. Evening session opened with song and prayer service by officers of Neosho District. Mrs. M. D. Jones entertained us with her trip around the world, which was instructive and inspiring. The Pageant, "Dream of Mission," directed by Mrs. Carrie Anderson of Wichita, was one of the outstanding features of the evening. The following named persons brot more praise to their ability in the way they played their parts in this pageant: Mesdames Mary Grayson, J. E. Douglass, Olga Baker, Emma Peterson, Laura Anderson, I. F. Bates, Minnie White, Mary Mitchell, Willie Broady. Misses Mildred Griffin, Helen Shepherd, Florence Gilmore, Geraldine Shannon, and Mrs. E. T. Fishback. (To be continued next week) difficulty more acute at this time than the situation as shown in the Trecee, Liliendiahl and similar muder cases. Here, it seems, is an opportunity to apply the methods and the spirit of the Inter-racial Commission in every community in effecting the simple justice of discovering as nearly as possible the real facts in such matters before the hasty publication of statements calculated to inflame popular sentiment against a wholly innocent victim and place stigma of criminality upon an entire race.

Nelson Sowell of 56 ANNIVERSARY OF THE FISK JUBILEE SINGERS Fisk University paid its tribute to the nation, the founders of the institution, and the memory of its famed Jubilee Singers on Oct. 6. This date was the 56th anniversary of the Jubilee Singers, a band of nine who, together with George L. White, their music teacher, left Nashville, Oct. 6, 1871, to secure funds for Fisk Univ. The entire ceremony brought back in a vivid and dramatic way the trials of the Jubilee Singers. The singers left Nashville, unheralded. Every one despaired their success. They returned the darlings of the United States and Europe. They had been commanded to sing before Queen Victoria, the King of Holland, the Emperor of Germany; they had been breakfasted by Gladstone, dined by the Earl of Shaftesbury, and painted by Queen Victoria's court painter, Havel. With them they brought nearly $100,000 00 with which they built Jubilee Hall. Sacrificing all their time to the University, this troupe of singers began a tradition of old religious folk songs which has lasted until the present. Each year since, the University has sent out a band of singers. In 1926 they toured Europe and were applauded everywhere. Mussolini presented the singers autographed pictures. The following telegram was sent relative to the approval of the Queen of Spain: MADRID, Dec. 9, 1926—Her Majesty Queen of Spain attended concert given by Fiak Jubilee Singers, today. Remained for entire program and six encores. Singers had great success. Crowded house.—Varney. Only last year they sang at the White House at the especial request of Mrs. Coolidge. The Jubilee Day Program this year included some of the brilliant leaders of the New South. In the morning the meeting held in Fisk Memorial Chapel, was addressed by Congressmen Joseph W. Byrns, of Sixth Tennessee District, Mrs. Mabel Lewis Imes, one of the Original Jubilee Singers, and Hon. J. C. Napier, a member of the Board of Trustees, who burned notes for $149,000 which the University had been unable to pay for years. This act officially freed the institution from debt and made available a million dollars of endowment. President Thomas E. Jones read messages of congratulations from all over the country. Following the morning meeting there was a procession to Bennett Field for the Flag Raising exercises. In the afternoon many alumni, some of whom came from as far off as California, held a meeting of reminiscences. At night a Jubilee Concert was given and Dr. Edwin Mims, of Vanderbilt University, one of the most liberal writers in the South, spoke. The chief feature of the evening's service was the singing of the spiritual "Chilly Water," by Mrs. Imes. Nearly seventy, her voice still retains its mellow resonance and wide register, which it had in the days of Henry Ward Beecher, when she was known as the little girl who could go as low as B flat. Russell, Text, Rev. 5:5-9; Theme.—The Words: "Prevailed and Worthy" which was enjoyed by all. The ladies served a very nice luncheon during the noon hour.

Funeral services were attended last Sunday at her church in Kansas City. The remains were laid to rest in her home town, Wathena, Kansas. A telegram revealed the fact that Mrs. P. D. Skinner, the wife of the noted Evangelist, Dr. P. D. Skinner, has fallen asleep in her home at Coffeyville, Kans. She must have been a great woman, although, not personally known in public activity, because she made it possible for the upward march of one of the greatest preachers of the State. Every heart goes out with sympathy for Dr. Skinner, relatives and friends for the loss of this great woman. Her funeral was attended by the most efficient preachers in Southeastern District. being present. Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, delivered the sermon.

Prefessed a hope in Christ in 1876, and was baptized by Elder Andrew Yatchem and united with the East Oak Grove Baptist Church, where her membership remained until she came to Topeka, Kansas, and during three years of her stay there, she placed her membership in the Shiloh Baptist Church. She was very active there in Christian work being connected with nearly all the auxiliaries of the church. Her husband later being called to the Warren Street Baptist Church. She joined there and for 6 years she remained with that church; an active participant in the S. S., as well as all the other leading organizations. After her husband resigned the work at Lawrence at the Warren St. Baptist Church, she joined the First Baptist Church at North Lawrence and was loyal. Later, after her husband was called to the Macedonia Baptist Church, Coffeyville, she came to associate her influence and silent co-operation with him in the work, and her membership remained with that church for some time, even after he became pastor of Sardis Baptist Church; because she didn't believe in changing membership in the same town. But she used the full weight of her influence in helping to make the work a success. might enter fully into co-operation. She finally agreed to join the Sardis lst Bapt. Church so that she could be with him in the work. The work was at a very low ebb and the responsibility was heavy and very embarrassing and great sacrifice was required upon the part of the entire family. But she never mumured nor complained, she has remained a member of this church and she was always opposed to the resignation that caused the separation of her and her husband and she worried about it through all her illness. She was married to Rev, F. D. Skinner May 4th, 1877, and for 50 years they lived together in happy union; Six children were born unto them, the first died when an infant, the other five lived to be grown; all have made a profession of religion and joined the same church with her. The younger son, Prisca Daniel Skinner and the oldest daughter were active in the work of the church. She was not afraid to die, after 16 months of illness; she was even anxious to go. Several days before, she talked it all over with her husband, and she had surrendered everything Five Cents Per Copy RACE CONGRESS CALLED League asks race to assemble to prepare for the "Battle of 1928" four days Convention at Washington, to adopt race petition for Congress—United position on rights and aim—Petition Fund Started.

By the absence of children at services on Sunday, in conformity with the ordinance regarding infantile paralysis, we were reminded of the importance of children; and we felt the import of Wordsworth's state-statement: "A child, more than all other gifts. That earth can offer to declining man, Brings Hope with it and forward-looking thoughts." "Then saith He to His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few." St. Matt. 9:37. The preceding passage was discussed for our consideration on Sunday morning. Text: "A Plenteous Harvest, but Few Laborers." Pastor Hayes preached a wonderful sermon from this passage, despite the fact that he had traveled the greater part of the night before, enroute home from the convention. Many good points were developed from the text. Among them were the kind and character of laborers needed today: He said we needed laborers with a vision, skill and love. On Sunday evening, we were interested with reports from Deacon Gilmore concerning the State Convention at Topeka; and Rev. Green's impressions and report of the National Baptist Convention. Interesting reports. We were especially interested in Rev. Green's report, because we were all glad that he was able to be up and about after a seri- liness since his returns from Detroit.
