THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE DR. T. A. FLETCHER of Kansas City, Mo., The Eye, Nose and Throat Specialist WILL BE IN THE CITY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1928, —AT THE HOME OF— REV. BROOKS, 719 N. WATER STREET. Any further information, Call D. 4609-W Vol. 21, No. 24, LEADERS SET EXAMPLE (Industrial News Bureau) "An example of public spirit which might well be emulated by other industrial leaders was shown recently by five citizens of Alabama in connection with a movement for advertising the resources of the state," says the Tonasket Washington Times. "In pursuance of an act of the legislature an Industrial Commission was appointed by Governor Graves, with an appropriation of $100,000 for a four years' advertising campaign. Deeming this inadequate, the fire commissioners, who serve without salary and pay their own expenses, personally donated $20,000 each, or a total of $100,000 to the fund, duplicating the amount furnished by the state. Their action is good evidence that the governor made no mistake in selecting the personnel of the commission, which is composed of Thomas W. Martin, President of the Alabama Power Company; George T. Crawford, President of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company; Theodore Swann, Lindley Morton and Benjamin Russell, capitalists. "In every state captains of industry are performing similar services for their communities, and it might be well for the public to make note of the fact occasionally and give credit where it is due. Such men do more for the upbuilding of the country than the soap-box orators in and out of Congress who would tear down the business structure which has been erected through the efforts of able and industrious citizens." REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN STARTS OFF VIGOROUSLY (Preston News Service) OBJECTIVE IS TO GET THE VOTERS TO THE POLLS VOTERS TO THE POLLS WHAT HAS SMITH DONE FOR RACE? WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept.-It now appears that leaders of the Colored Republican National Voters' Division of the Republican National Committee with headquarters on the first floor of the Barr Building, (also the same building in which the white Republicans have headquarters) are gradually ironing out the rough places in the political blanket, taking the kinks out of the campaign chains, adjusting the machinery and getting it "oiled" for one of the most vigorous campaigns ever witnessed. Objective to be reached. Get the voters to the polls in November is the objective of the campaign managers. Indications are that this obje tive will be fully realized on election day. The various threats of open revoit are gradually fading into mere nothingness. Disgruntled persons here and there are capitulating and "turning-in" for Hoover. Reports coming into headquarters from various parts of the country show that local workers are becoming active getting voters to register and qualify. Each Republican Must Work Success in November means that votes must be cast. To insure that these votes will be cast it requires each Republican to persuade his or her neighbor to go to the polls and vote—in fact, see that they do. There are two kinds of Republicans in this country—VOTERS and NON- VOTERS. And there are lots of these non-voters. These must be converted into voters. Success at the polls requires that the largest number of votes be cast. It is the sacred duty of all Republicans to muster out as large a vote as possible. Constitution Changes Dangerous Beware of those advocating a change of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. It is a dangerous step, especially when it is sponsored by a party affiliated with the Solid be changed in the slightest degree South. If the 18th Amendment can you might as well say GOOD-BYE to the 13th, 14th and 15th Amend- MAINTAIN OUR PROTECTION (Interracial News Bureau) As the continual argument over the advantages and disadvantages of the protective tariff are thrashed out it becomes increasingly apparent that the principles of Free Trade are not practical, and would be ruinous to a large part of our population. Our sugar producers, for example, must compete with production in the Philines and Cuba where work is done by a poorly paid working class Our farmers are in direct competition with European and other foreign producers where agriculture are immeasurably lower than ours. Our industrial workers must meet the commodities produced in nations where industrial work means long hours, low pay, poor living conditions, and inferior working conditions. Obviously, the chief protection we have against lowering our standards of pay and hours to meet foreign TEACHING CHILDREN FIRE PREVENTION (Industrial News Bureau) At a recent convention the Georgia Association of Insurance Agents' fire prevention activities were disclosed. They have done an important work in a praiseworthy manner. The most outstanding part of the prevention program, perhaps, was the offering of prizes for the best fire-prevention essays by school children. Hundreds of essays, many of them showing a real understanding of the subject, were turend in. As a result an instinct to be careful about fire was inculcated in the young mind. It is safe to say that a generation which is trained in this manner will, when it comes of age, do much to ostracize fire waste, and it would be a fine thing if all children in all schools were given such training. There's one of the greatest enemies of progress and prosperity we have; the child who learns adequately of its destructiveness will be an adult with knowledge and the desire to prevent it. ments. These amendments which guarantee full citizenship to our group are thorns in the southerners' flesh. The repeal of these would deprive the Negro of his rights. Deprived of our citizenship and the right of suffrage our condition would be tatamount to actual slavery. What Has Smith Done? Word comes out of New York City to the effect that a careful check-up on the record of Governor Smith shows that only one Negro has been given an appointment by him during the eight years he has been Governor of the Empire State. The report says that in 1922 and in 1924 Negroes of Harlem supported Smith in large numbers, but in 1926 gave him a lighter vote because of his failure to keep his promises about making more appointments Hon Ferdinand Q. Morton, Civil Service Commissioner, and C. Lee, Morton's aid, were blamed for the failure of Negroes to support Smith in 1926, when, as a matter of fact, Smith's attitude toward Negroes is said to have been the real cause of Negroes leaving the Tammany Hall banner. Smith Leaders Worried The report also says that leaders of the Smith-For-President Colored League are actually worried and frankly admit that they are up against a stiff proposition in asking the Negroes of New York to vote for Smith because they're unable to point to anything he has done for the race in New York. Negroes, especially those of Harlem are asking If Smith did nothing for Negroes in New York State, where he is the "whole cheese" what in the world would he do or even he able to do for the Negroes of the country should he become President of the United States, where he would have to deal with the Negro haters of the South? WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 14, 1928 STUDENTS SEEK INTERRACIAL UNDERSTANDING (Interracial News Bureau) FOUR TENNESSEE COLLEGES REPRESENTED IN ACTIVE AND EFFECTIVE FORUM MARYVILLE, TENN., Sept. 14—The East Tennessee Student Interracial Commission composed of students from two white and two colored schools; Maryville College, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville College and Morristown College—is preparing to put on during the coming college year the most effective pprogram in its history. Regular monthly meetings will be held at which matters of interest and importance to the members will be deat with, and efforts will be made also to work out an educational program that will reach the entire student bodies of the several schools interested. The officers of the Commission are Edward D. Ross of Maryville College, President; Joseph A. Matthews of Knoxville College, Vice President; and Misa Margaret Bell of Morristown College, Secretary. The members number fifty, about equally divided between the two races. A number of the faculty members lend their advice and support. Last year the Commission, convinced that better transportation facilities should be provided for colored people in Tennessee, took the matter up with the general passenger agents of all the railroads operating in that state, requesting more consideration in the matter of waiting rooms, cars and conveniences. Courteous replies were received from all the roads, assuring the Commission that earnest attention would be given to its request. The group also brought to Maryville and Knoxville Colleges during the year Prof. George Carver, famous Tuskegee chemist, who was beard with great delight by practically all the students and faculty members of the two institutions. MOTORS ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION FORMED NASHVILLE MEN ORGANIZE FOR PROTECTION—SERVICE A. R. Turner, W. C. Sheffield and Andrew Allison Among the Incorporators. With a view of protecting motors, whether they be at home or abroad, and at the same time giving them safety and comfort, convenience and economy in the operation of their cars, a charter has recently been issued to the National Motors Assurance Association, Nashville Tenn., organized for the purpose of establishing a complete system of identification, information and accommodation for colored automobile owners. "All over America." The Association will insure to its membership the maximum in safety, convenience, comfort, and economy in the operation of cars on tour and at home. Plans are under way and work has actually begun upon a survey by this department of the Association for the purpose of ascertaining road conditions and routines, investigating and authorizing properly equipped service stations, hotels, registered homes and to urge and assist in the opening of tourist camps. The concerns authorized will be carried in the telephone directories under the name of The Association, thus enabling a member on tour to be properly serviced and located through a mere reference to the telephone directory, the "Eagle and the wheel" the attractive emblem of the association will also be prominently displayed at such places. CHICAGO POLICE 'ROTTEN TO THE CORE' CHRAGE CHICAGO POLICE 'ROTTEN TO THE CORE' CHRAGE (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, ILL. Sept. 13—Declaring that the evidence presented showed the Chicago police department was "rotten to the core," the special election grand jury investigating charges of fraud, intimidations and violence in the April primaries, returned its report naming 14 persons in true bills. The special grand jury was convened August 10, with instructions to investigate elections dating back to April 5, 1927. The murder of "Diamond Joe" Exposite during the recent primary campaign and that of Attorney Octavius C. Granady on NEGRO EMPLOYEES OF U. S. GOV'MT SHOW TREMENDOUS EIGHTEEN-YEAR GAIN WASHINGTON.—From 22,540 employees in 1910, whose total yearly aggregated $12,456,760, to 51,882, on June 30, 1928, whose yearly share of pay from the United States Treasury totals $64,483,133, is the story of the Negro workers who are at this time being carried on Uncle Sam's pay roll, as efficient and wellpaid servants of governmental service. During the interim, at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, the Negro civil-service personnel of the Federal Government was surveyed and found to number approximately 51,805 workers, with a total annual earning capacity of $52,655,959. These are the facts disclosed in a report which has just been recaused by the Secretary of Labor. The tremendous gain of 29,265 workers and the lump total annual sum of $40,199 199, caused by the increase from 22,546 workers and 512,466,760 in yearly salaries in 1910 to 51,855 workers and $52,655,951 in 1923, is no more remarkable than the salary total of $64,483,133 for the fiscal year 1928, a gain of $11,827,174 over that of 1923, a year which represented the close of an era in the rapid recovery of prosperity from the economic ravages of the World War. The personnel totals of 51,805 for 1923 and 51,882 for 1928, while varying but little, following the return to normalcy after reductions of war-time personnel, clearly show, when considered in connection with the monetary gain in annual salaries of the army of Negro civil-service employees, that this efficient group of governmental workers made a large per capita gain in income as well as a significant gain in numbers and occupations. MOREHOUSE FOOTBALL SQUAD CALLED FOR 18TH F. L. FORBES CLASS 27. (Morehouse News Service) (Morehouse News Service) ATLANTA, GA., Sept. 8. A call was issued this week to 29 members of the 1927 Varsity Squad to report for preliminary practice September 18. This number will be augmented by several promising recruits from the entering Fresman Class of more than 150. Practice will be held twice daily, until the beginning of the regular class work. It is expected that, Coach Harvey, assisted by F. L. Forbes, Varsity half back 1924 to 1927, who finished college in June and has spent the summer at Springfield Training School, will have the Maroon Tiger well groomed by the date of the opening game with Morris Brown on October 6. Following the Morris Brown game, the 24th Infantry, Howard University, Clark University, Atlanta University, Turkegee Institute, Ala. State Normal and Johnson C. Smith University will be met on successive week ends. The traditional Thanksgiving Game with Fisk University is still unsettled, due to an attempted adjustment in schedule between Fisk and Tennessee State. However, it is hoped that the matter will be cleared in the next few days, and the Fans of the South East will not lose their opportunity of seeing the Southeastern Classic of possibly, the longest continuity of years of Football contests between Negro Collegiate Teams. A number of innovations will greet the men on their return, among the most important being, the reservation of the Southwest ends of the Southwest ends of the first floor of Grave's Hall as Training Quarters. These rooms, formerly teachers' apartments, will be fitted especially for the men with reference to training necessities. election day were the chief incidents to occupy the attention of the grand Jury. Both victims were candidates for ward committee. "From the testimony heard and evidence presented, the utter disregard for the fulfillment of their duties by the police department is appalling, and there is no question in the minds of the members of the jury the police department is rotten to the core," the report stated. "The report urged corrective measures in the police department be taken immediately and suggested a revision of the election laws as a means of curbing vice. It was also indicated that more indictments would be returned later. DR. HICKMAN HEADS NEGRO STATE FAIR FOR TENNESSEE (Preston News Service) NASHVILLE, TENN., Sept. 13- That the colored people of Nashville and Davidson county will promote a State Fair in the early fall was announced Wednesday when it became known that Dr. J. P. Hickman, for a long time active citizen and influential physician and surgeon of this city, had been made president of the movement and H. E. Clark had been chosen secretary. The other officers are J. A. Napier, vice president; E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., assistant secretary and Preston Taylor, treasurer. Headquarters have been set up on the first floor of the Douglass Hotel and, according to Dr. Hickman, the work of promotion has begun in full blast. In a statement issued by the officers of the State Fair Association, nothing will be overlooked to demonstrate at this fair the achievement and worthwhile efforts of the Negro throughout the state. The entertainment will be carried on at Greenwood Park, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 28, and running through to the 20th inclusive. THE AGE OF GOOD ROAD (Industrial News Bureau) practices in the tariff. The present era in the United States might aptly be called the "Age of Good Roads." There has never been a country to which highways were so necessary, or where the need has been so rapidly supplied. Not a great many years ago the amount spent for building roads and maintaining them was negligible. Today it is one of the outstanding items in governmental budgets. The time is within easy memory when paved highways were practically unknown and even passable dirt roads were rare. Particularly in rural sections were conditions bad. The farmer brought his produce to market over roads that were all but impassable. Today it is difficult to find a community without paved streets and highways. In agricultural districts ashpalt and oiled market roads are being built rapidly, and the farmer can haul his goods over comfortable smooth surfaces. America has made an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in providing highway facilities. And it is an investment that has paid dividends in attracting industries, residents and tourists. National Convention Holds Great Session LOUISVILLE, KY., Sept. 10—The National Baptist Convention of America opened one of the greatest sessions in the history of the Convention at the Jefferson County Armory, Sixth and Walnut Streets with 5,000 messengers present. The Rev. L. K. Williams, D. D., Pastor of the Olivet Church, Chicago, Presiding. This convention represents over 3½ million souls who are anchored in the truths of the New Testament and firm believers in the "One Lord, One Faith and one Baptism." The Armory was never decorated as beautifully, nor had this large a number present for this length, as on this occasion. There was an air of patriotism that seemed to penetrate the entire building. Then there was a spiritual feeling that came from the singing of the wonderful 1,000, voiced choir, directed by Prof. F. H. Boatner, a member of the faculty of the Boston Conservatory of Music. A concert of Negro Spirituals and classified selections were given and the manner of its rendition has never been equaled by this body. Prominent Baptists Present: All the prominent Baptists of this country were present. Many delegates were from Africa, Panama, Liberia, South Africa and the isles of the sea. Among some of the leading divines were; Rev, Wm Taylor, Baton Rouge, La; Rev, A. Cayton Powell, New York City; Rev, R. M. Caver, Little Rock, Ark.; Rev, J. C. Jackson, Hartford, Conn.; Rev, W. H. Rozer, Los Angeles, Calif.; Prof, K. B. Hudson, Stima, Ala.; Rev, T. O. Fuller, Memphis, Tenn.; Rev, J. M. Nabrit, Atlanta, Ga.; Rev, E. Arlington Wilson, Dallas, Tex.; Rev, E. H.

L (Certified next week) Five Cents Per Copy GALVESTON NEGROES SEEK RIGHTS IN CITY PARKS (Preston News Service) GALVESTON, TEX., Sept. 14—Galveston Negroes feel they have a right to pass through and sit upon the benches in the parks of the city, J. H. Clouser, -race man, told the board of city commissioners Thurs. "We are voting a protest against the signs in the parks reading, "For White Persons Only," and will continue to protest until they are removed, he said. Clouser came before the board in behalf of a petition from the Negro Elks which asked that the board provide a playground for Negro children. Mayor Pearce told Clouser that the signs he referred to had been in the parks for some time. They were not placed there by any official action or sanction of the board. This is a matter under the streets department. Clouser then said he would ask the board to find out who took this action. "Somebody in the police department is cooperating with the persons who put the signs there, for Negroes have been accosted by policemen and told to heed the signs," Clouser said. Police commissioner Mellina reminded Clouser that he was "deviating from his subject." If you are seeking financial aid for a playground for Negro children you are going about it in the wrong way, when you complain about those signs. In this you are attempting to bring the races together. You know the races can't mingle." Mayor Pearce said the matter had been referred to the proper committee. Pearce and two other commissioners were elected for the aid of the Negro vote, police officials reminded Clouser. AROUSED PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS NEEDED TO COMBATCRIMINAL (Industrial News Bureau) "French criminologists, proposing a revival of the ancient custom of branding criminals, reflect the seriousness with which nations other than ours take the problem of suppressing crime." says the San Francisco Chronicle. "On the ratio of homicides in France and the United States, our crime rate is about six and one-half times that of France... "The idea of branding, even by painless chemical means, is not likely to be revived. But the mere fact that it has been proposed by responsible criminologists shows an attitude of mind on the part of the French that partially explains their low criminal rate as compared with ours. The habitual criminal is an enemy of society and is treated as such. As soon as the American public has that feeling in the matter the criminal rate in the United States will show a rapid decline without resorting to any such drastic method as is now being discussed in Paris." Unquestionably there is a need for a more active nobile consciousness in the matter of crime. Changes in our legal and judicial system, sorely needed in many instances must result from public demand that understands the seriousness of the problem and the necessity for sterner justice and expedited trials and convictions. American crime situation is nothing In comparison with Europe, our short of disgraceful. Misplaced, maudlin sympathy has created parole, pardon, and good-conduct systems that often turn the most case-hardened of felons out to prey again on society. Anti-crime activity has been deflected from its proper channels into proposals for useless and restrictive small-arms laws and the like. Criminals in sensational cases have been made to appear as martyrs. In New York, which has laws that give life imprisonment automatically when a criminal is convicted for four felonies, crime is decreasing. An aroused public consciousness is needed to combat the criminal, not more laws which restrict the law abiding citizen.

Y. P. U. LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue WICHITA, KANSAS. OUR UNIVERSAL FELLOWSHIP Acts 17:22-34. Universal good-will is the effort, and hope of the true Church of God. Universal fellowship in the New Testament Sense, means universal peace.. Jesus gave His life that such a state might be made possible and become the passion of the human soul, peace on earth and good will to men, was the song of the Angelic Choir and the Spirit of that Song should be the heart of all our worship. If we would realize the universal fellowship, we must be one in spirit and aspiration. Creation made us one in blood, and grace makes us one in love. Paul stood on Mars Hill and de- clared above all gods the God of the universe. The God whose dwelling was not a temple made with hands. The God who is independent and the source of all life. The fact that he made of one, all nations of men, is indigative of his infinite power. He fixed the time and bounds of man's habitation and placing within him a thirst for God; so man feels out in the darkness after God. "Oh that I know where I might find Him." He is the giver and sustainer of life. Since we came from Him, we ought to realize that He is more than matter. God is a Spirit. God overlooked ignorance when there was no chance to be wise, but now opportunity is given and repentence is commanded. Jehovah has a definite day for a righteous judgment and Christ will be the Judge. Oh what justice. The Athenians lack faith in the resurrection, however, some had faith in Paul and what he taught, and clung to him, notwithstanding he taught the doctrine of one blood and universal fellowship.

Scribble Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927 My Dear Colaborers: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topkaka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention adopted the more modern plan for carrying forward our Missionary and Educational work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $6,700,000 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Con-Associations and Auxiliaries. ventions of the State and District The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the able because the State obligations LUMBER, MOULDING, FLOORING, WINDOWS AND DOORS AT THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO.

For instance, if 25 churches give $500 each monthly, it means $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $200 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations and money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and ad them forth in this much needed and business-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministers at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We pay it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must care on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4, 9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Secy. and Supt. of Missions. "Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?
