THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE DRUGS Vol. 22, No. 40, THE DECLINE OF LYNCHING Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, which line the Chicago Tribune has kept a record of lynching for many years, states that in 1920 only 10 were lynched. Seven colored and three whites and not one of the seven colored, lynched was charged with raping white women. This decline in lynching was not achieved in a day. It took years of agitation against it by both races. Then public sentiment was finally aroused and such agencies as the Federated Churches of America, the Interracial Commission and other influential organizations of white people began to bring pressure to bear where it was needed and thus we have reduced it to only ten in 1920. Nor can we forget the local individual Negroes like Ida B. Wells Barnett and the great work done by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in helping to arouse public sentiment to that point where it would act. But this is a hopeful sign. It leads us to believe that in the face of prejudice and discrimination as we attempt to rise and be accepted as real Americans, there is a silent force as undercurrent in America that grants for justice and for play and when the time comes for it to assert itself, it will break out in no uncertain terms.

WILLIAMS, BUSINES NEW YORK, Dec. 30-It will be Interesting to you to know that the Seventh Day Adventists, white, are urged on by their Conference leaders in trying to make it hard for the colored Seventh Day Adventists, especially the Hailem Church No. 1. The so-called Investigation, which was being conducted has been closed, my church and people won, we received a clean bill of health from the Dist Attorney's office. The people are with me 103 per cent; they have demonstrated this by laying lots at Atlantic Highlands. We are trying to sell one thousand lots from which we expect to raise money to run our sanitarium, Old Iolk's Home, Orphanage and an Industrial School. The white Seventh Dav Advantists have forty-three (43) sanitilums aggregating $5,770,100 63, a large amount of which came from colored churches throughout this country. This is not a fight of my own but a fight for all colored people who believe as I do that it is time for colored people to assume the responsibility of leading themselves especially in religious work. The Conference has taken my credentials and the credentials of Elder J. E. Jervis, who is my assistant, and is now trying to say that I am dishonest because I am successful in holding my members together, which the conference did not expect could be done. The tithes which once went to the conference, will now be used to take care of the colored扒ors of the church. We need the support of your paper and the papers throughout the codynity, as the people are asking everywhere, even in the West Indies, that the news concerning this church. You may send your representative to us and we will be pleased to furnish the public with any information. Marie, Urnfield and uncle Ernest Cleigh. Mr. and Mrs. S. S.

RICHARDSON WAS HERE Dr. Clement Richardson, President of Kansas Vocational School addressed an appreciative audience at Calvary Baptist Church on Emancipation Day on the subject: "One Thing Thou Lackest;" which was one of the most able addresses Wichita has been able to witness. The race lacked many things: an economic foundation, race solidarity or race pride, etc; but the thing we lacked most was race co operation. Somehow or other, said Dr. Richardson, we fail to support one another in most if not all of those things which mean race progress and we give all kinds of filmsy excuses to sustain our position. We seem to forget that when we fail to support our own institutions, we are making it more difficult for the race to advance in the business and financial world. Not only is this true, but we close the door of industrial opportunity against the race and makes us forever dependent upon the white race for our livelihood. The Negro must learn that he lives a Negro and that it is up to him to make the word synonymous with everything that is worth while. This cannot be done if we permit envy, littleness, selfishness and indifference to the conditions and problems which face us as a race not only in Kansas, but throughout the nation. This address should be repeated in Wichita, because we certainly need to be told these truths until we see our real condition, Centralia, Missouri NT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH NEWTON, JONES BASTOR REV.

GRAND EXALTED RULER VISITS CITY clt. t. w. r. e. l. y o. l. s [Name] RACE MURDER IN KANSAS CITY The Kansas City Call that has been keeping a record of murders committed by Negroes upon one another for some time, states in its issue of Jan 3rd that 50 Negroes have been murdered by Negroes during the year just closed. The Call rays the total for the whole city was 110 and we committed 50 of them. This is the greatest number of murders of Negroes by Negroes in three years, and our people committed nearly one half of those committed in that city and we compose about one sixth of the general population. Our murder and crime record in Kansas City, is far too high for our numbers and something ought to be done to lessen it; there is not any one thing that will lesson it. But being a sociological problem, many of the methods of that science must be used to bring about the necessary reform. Of course, the legal machinery of Kansas City, which is corrupt and in league with the Negro underworld and unserious politicians must be forced by Negro public sentiment to mote out to Negro Criminals the full penalty of the law. Secondly, the forward looking progressive Negroes of that city must become proud from a solit of their plain duty in an effort to rave Kansas City, from such an unsavory reputation. The law abiding Negro citizens of Kansas City, Mo. are in danger of their lives from criminals, who infest the city. Social organizations such as the Urban League and other uplift agencies ought to study Negro crime and not be afraid to tell the truth for fear of hurting the race. And after they have found out the facts, earnestly try to improve conditions. The Negro Churches in Kansas City, (and all over this country) must wake up, leave off emotional preaching in the face of an appalling murder rate and general crime and become organized as one great body of patriotic race men and women determined to lessen major crime of the Negro Race. The Kansas City Call has been waging against this city Nomads each other and are allowed to unpunished. Even The Call with its great influence cannot win this battle alone. It therefore must be attacked by a combination of forces, determined to wipe out the strong in the postuls of all decent people of that city. four During his stay, he delivered a very able address in St Paul's A.

IN THE EYES OF IOWA The Ministerial Alliance and Interracial Commission of Des Moines, town, recently issued a manifesto to the effect that all discriminations restaurants theatres and hotels based on race and color should be discontinued and all men accepted on their individual merit. The Des Moines Register Tribune, the biggest paper in Iowa endorsed it. We have always contended that if the Christian Church would actually apply the principles of Christianity to the race problem it would soon be solved. And while we always felt that such a declaration should come from the Christian ministry we were surprised to read such a clear and decided stand by them. We are not surprised at the stand of Harvey Ingham, the editor of the Des Moines Register Tribune. Because, for years he has wavered once when the time came to take a hold stand for the civil and manhood rights of the race. Having lived in Iowa a number of years, we know whereof we speak. He is one white man that is true blue on the race problem. Lut such expressions from such organizations as the Minitrial Alliance and the Inter-tribal Commission makes us believe that the time is rapidly coming when the Nergo will be accepted as a full pledge American citizens and will enjoy all the rights and peace, gea of any other American.

THE HEART'S DESIRE WISH we had some youngster But we ain't. We'd like to have somebody Daub and paint His 'initials on the wagon shed, Put a turtle in our bed, Shave his little sister's head— But we aint. It would surely be a pleasure Havin' them, A-fixin' Christmas presents All for them, A-makin' ships and what-me-nots, Little frocks with polka dots And entertainin' little tots, Just for them.

Some of sunshine, some of shade But poorly mixed for some who've prayed A lot.
