Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 34, BY DR SAMUEL BARRETT, (HIROPRACTOR. These words were spoken by the new president of the Wichita Chamber of Commerce. It was his inaugural address, and it was the key race speech which was to guide the battles of the Chamber during the twentieth months in its constructive efforts in making Wichita, a bigger and greater city. These words were of course directed to the business and commercial interests on this city. But it may be directed with equal force and significance to our people. We are a part of this city and as such, we should contribute our quota to its rise and advancement, and it is not narrowness and clanishness when we say that we owe it to the group, to its development and progress to do our best to build up those things which are necessary to a growing people. As Wichita grows, we should grow And we can and will grow if we co-erate one with the other. We should grow in business. We need more business enterprises and a greater variety of them. This will give us economic strength and power. We should grow morally and socially and in the highest conception of practical religion. Now is the time. Not Tomorrow, not next year, to move forward and we can, if we will; will we do it? or will we continue because of selfish interests and the lack of group pride to occupy an inferior position in the progressive life of the community. The Negro Race throughout the nation is making efforts as never before to recognize among other progressive people. The group in this city cannot afford to lag behind its own people in other communities, or lag behind the advancing people in the community in which they live. Independence News.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Nov. 29, 1929 WHERE WICHITA UNIVERSITY WON (Clipped from the Sundower Nov 20 by W. L. Hutcheson) The following clipping was taken from the editorial columns of the Washington Bulletin, the student paper of Washington College at 20,000 ams. PETTY RACE PREJUDICE "In a recent Central Conference football game at the Wasburn athletic bowl, the University of Wichita Wheatshockers, managed to run three touchdowns across the goal line and defeat the Washburn team. A large Negro, King, played end on the Wichita eleven. King was instrumental in Wichita's 20 to 0 defeat of Washburn. He was an aggressive clean playing Grilldster who plays because he loves football he loves the game as a game, and reports coming from Wichita are that he is not playing for a commercial interest in the game. Off the gridron. King is known by friends within his race as a gentleman. He treated others as gentleman and expects and gets such treatment in retuh. According to Washington football men who opposed King in the actual battle, he played like a gentleman, ever taking an unfair advantage of an opponent. He played hard and fast. It was King, who, with the hard playing Gallagher and Koch, defeated Washburn. In the Washburn bleachers at the Whitita game were Washburn students and Topeka football fans who forgot that they were "White Gentlemen" in the eyes of the Negro race. They razzed and stormed at the giant Negro, ordering the Washburn players to "Get that eight-ball ill that nigger, bust the low-life" King heard the cries—he played all the harder and cleaner. Washburn students in that crowd forgot that they were a part of the civilized white race. Their cat-calls added in Washburn's defeat as it spurred the giant Negro on to greater excellence in his work. We take it th' they are really afraid of King at Washburn. It will a membrel that in the Ichshad-tor or some that year. King play- at halfback was a big cog in the Wichita ma-hire that _won from Washburn.

MARY LEWIS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER MARY LEWIS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER A coroners' jury composed of coloured men decided last Monday afternoon that Guffey Lewis, who was killed last week in the Severlewn Apartment, East Lewis St., came to his death by the discharge of a gun in the hand of his wife, Mary Lewis. The Star reporter interviewed Mrs. Lewis in the county fail. She is a pleasant looking woman and not of that hard looking criminal type so often see in our jails. She appears very sorry and sad. She said; she loved her husband and they lived in peace and harmony. According to her story the daily newspapers were wrong in charging her with shooting at a fleeing woman; suspected of being on terms of intamacy with her husband. Mrs. Mrs. Lewis said; she asked her husband, who was that woman to whom he had just been talking. The gun was procured to scare her husband, who wrestled with her for possession of the weapon, which discharged, striking him in the abdomen from which he died. She is the mother of a 14 months' old baby. Dr. P. M. Bell, assistant county physician, examined the body of the dead man. Atty F. C. Helm is attorney for the accused. Chapel and three excelleht programs were rendered by the me $ n $ of the church and community; Deacon C. A. Spottsville had charge.

Your Reflecting Three Smith No CHARTER INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO. A MESSAGE FOR ALL YOUTH GREETINGS TO THE STATE III-Y CONFERENCE (From The Oklahoma Stimulator. By W. L. Hutchcreon. Your first duty in life is toward your afterself. So live that the man you ought to be may, in his time, be possible, be actual. Far away in the years he is waiting his turn. His body, his brain, his soul are in your boyish hand. He cannot help himself. What will you leave for him? Will it be a brain unsnoiled by lust or dissipation; a mind trained to think and act; a nervous system true as a dial in its response to the truth about you. Will you, Boy, let him come as a man among men in his time, or will you throw away his inheritance before he has had the chance to touch it. Will you turn over to him a brain distorted, a mind diseased, a will untrained to action, a spinal cord grown through and through with "the devil-gall, wild-oats?" Will you let him come and take your place gaining through your experience, happy in your friendships, hallowed through your boys, building on them his own? Or will you fling it all away, decreeing, wantonlike, that the man you might have been shall never be? This is your problem in life ..... the problem which is vastly more to you than any or all others. How will you meet it, as a man or as a fool? It comes before you today and every day, and the hour of your choice is the crisis in your destiny! -David Carter Jordan that they must have peace at home, peace in the community peace with the nations and also peace with God, for if we have not peace among ourselves, we cannot have peace, with God.

FEEL THANKS- FUL FOR ONE YEAR'S BLESSINGS FEEL THANKS- FUL FOR ONE YEAR'S BLESSINGS It is an established custom to give thanks once a year by orders of the President of the United State, in keeping of the Old Pilgrim custom, because of the many blessings and prosperities; causing many people throughout this country to stop their daily tasks yesterday to thank God for being their first partner and greatest help in their life and its success. If there were no custom nor order, there should be a feeling of gratitude in the heart of every soul to give thanks for the numbers of blessings in our pathway given by God. Remember, after you have done your best you are helpless to give life, health, prosperity and opportunity in the positions among men. Let every soul feel lifted because it manifested its gratitude to its maker.

WILLIAM 1 FTY—honor thy father and thy mother PRIMARY TOPIC—Pleasing God in Our Home UNIOR TOPIC—Pleasing God in our Home INTERNATIONAL AND SENIOR LOCAL LIVING as Christians at Home YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT LOCAL The Christian Home Its Helps and Hindrances Instead of an exposition of the printed text, as suggested by the its own committee, it will be better to make a synthetic study of the silent points of the several reference texts proposed by the committee. 1. The Makers of the Home (Matt 19-31) The home is a divine institution Its makers are the man and the woman joined together in body work and according to God's primary law—one man for one woman and one woman for one man. 1. The union is so vital that God declared the man and the woman to be one flesh (Gun 2221) 2. Divorce was not in God's thought for nynn (v 6) It was only permitted because of sin (v 8) Divorce has the claim provail of God and right thinking men and women 3. Coronation the one and only ground for divorce (v 9) Lawless of the divorce laws causes the Christian to hang his head in shame 11. The Ideal Child (Luke 2:40-52) Marriage has as its primary purpose the propagation of the race Children are to be desired and expected Christ stands as the ideal child in the home "My father's business" Being conscious of the Mission he entered the temple to Inquire into the meaning of the ordinance of 'little house.' 2 His obedience (v. 51) Though fulls conscious of his divine being and mission He went down to Nazareth and lived a life of filial obedience. 3. His development (v. 52). (1). Bodily—"Increased in stature." His body became strong. A strong, healthy body is the inattainable right of every child, and parents are obligated to provide food and nutrition such as to preserve their health (2). Mental—"Increased in wisdom." As a normal human being, his mental powers developed. (3). Spiritual—"The grace of God was upon him," and he increased in favor with God and man. How beautiful is the picture of the symmetrical development of the Savior of men. III. The Place of God's Word in the Home (Deut 6:31) The home has a vital teaching function. The child develops slowly; remains in the home for a long time to give an opportunity to be taught the things of God. 1. The central truth to be taught (vv. 4, 5). This is twofold. The unity of God (vv. 4) and man's supreme obligation to God (vv. 5) 2. How the truth was to be kept alive (vv. 69). (1) It was to be diligently taught to the children (vv. 7). (2) It was to be talked of everywhere and under all circumstances. (3) It was to be bound upon the hand and placed as frontlets between the eyes (vv. 8). (4) It was to be written upon the posts of the house (v. 1) IV. The Early Training of the Child (H TIm 1:35; 3:14, 15). Timothy was taught the Scriptures from his childhood by a godly mother and grandmother. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God in the salvation of children as well as adults. V. Christ a Guest in the Home (Luke 24:28:32). At the urgent invitation of certain disciples, Christ carried in their home and sat at meat with them. Christ will come into the home and bless those who sincerely invite him. VI. Mutual Relation of the Members of the Home (Lith 6:1:1) Each member has certain rights and privileges which must be respected. Children are to be and honor their parents. Parents are not to provide their children to wrath but to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Servants are to be obedient to their masters and to render service as unto the Lord Masters are to show consideration to their servants, since they themselves are servants to the heavenly Master Faith When we are confronted by misery which needs relief, suffering which requires sympathy, fully which should be reproved, ignorance waiting for counsel, sin pleading forgiveness, the true prayer is, "Lord, increase our faith." Nothing is impossible to faith A Daily Thought I say to you truly, the heart of him who loves is a paradise on earth; he has God in himself, for God is love.—Luennnails. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue WHY IS CHRISTIANITY A MISSIONARY RELIGION? Matt. 28:18-20. Christianity is a Missionary Religion because whatever it is known, it is accepted as a standard of ethical conduct. Christianity should be sent to the whole world because it refuses partnership with any other religion, hence, it tends to unite the human family wherever it goes. The Christian religion is the faith for the world because it is dynamic; it gives a life with power. It is the ohly religios known to man that saves body, mind and soul. The mind of Jesus is pure, clear and healthy. Of all the religions the Christian religion gives the greatest satisfaction and inspires to the highest and the best. The Great Commission is given to the church and the program is the whole Gospel by the whole church to the whole world. Let each Christian save the man next door and continue the process until the Gospel shall have covered the earth as the water covers the channel of the mighty deep. Christianity is a Missionary Religion in its origin in its program and in its effect. THOUGHTS The man who is cured of a fatal disease and fails to give the remedy to a like ruffercr is an ingrate.

EVIDENCE SEIZED Whiskey 48 gallons, 6 quarts and 8 pints and Beer 2 gallons, 3 quarts and 26 pints. CLASSIFICATION OF ARRESTS Liquor in Possession 16, Fornication 6. Interne 2 HAROLD MATSON and WILMER J. HOBBS—Have been operating a phone ring, and from the evidence have evidently been doing a great business. We have on several occasions tried to catch these men. The man named Hobbs was caught sometime past by some of the County men when he had a gallon of whiskey, which he broke on them. We finally caught them coming from their home, and we followed them blocks, hoping to apprehend them making a delivery. We found that they were empty when we shook them down. On returning to their home we found eleven gallon kegs of which four were full. We also found a gallon jug filled and ready for dlievery, and 39 pints of whiskey that they had prepared, labeled and wrapped as bonded liquor. These men were brought to the station and charged with having liquor in their possession, and to be held for a state warrant. Shortly after we had locked them up their attorney was down and threatened habeas corpus proceedings if we failed to allow them to make bond at once. The bonds for the men were signed by Al Simon. FRANK GARCIA—A Mexican that is proprietor of a Mexican pool hall that we have known to be selling whiskey for sometime. We have repeatedly raided this place and could never find where he kept his liquor. Being a firm believer in the old adage "If at first you don't succeed, try, try" again," we raided him again, and finally found his plant, which at the time contained 24 full half pints of whiskey and another half full. He was brought to the station and charged with having liquor in his possession, and to be held for a state warrant. O. W. WILSON. Chief of Police II. L.
