Official Organ of the Saint Paul Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. SAYS DAWES FAVORS STATE RIGHTS Accuse Pres. Durkee of Howard University FORTY-FIRST YEAR NO SAYS Accuse NAT. ALUMNI ASSN. URGES INVESTIGATION Congress to Be Requested to Inquire Into Charges of Alleged Despotism. Washington, D. C., July 10. Charging the administration of President Durkee as being out of the ordinary in the conduct of an institution supported by the government, by the National Alumni Association, of which Rev. George Frazier Miller was recently elected president, a request for a congressional investigation of conditions at Howard University is proposed. A movement to that end is being launched with the hope of interesting the general alumni in its behalf on the ground that President Durkee will not tolerate any member of the faculty who does not entertain his views whether they are reasonable or unreasonable. It is claimed by supporters of the movement that the dismissal of Professors A. LeRoy Locke, Alonzo Brown., Lockhead and Orland Thornton was for no other reason than a difference as to the policy of the president which they opposed as being inimical to the best interest of the school. Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, the oldest living graduate of the Howard Alumnus, is now in the Middle West holding meetings with the alumni branches and securing their co-operation toward bringing the matter of the charges preferred against President Durkee before the next meeting of Congress. Whether the charges are true or false, for the good of the reputation of the accused and also the welfare of Howard, there should be such an investigation. Howard University has too glorious a record for racial betterment to become a victim of petty personalities. Its future usefulness lies in keeping it free from the intrigue of political influence. Up-Town Sanitaries Defeat Afton Team The Uptown Sanitary's registered another win Sunday by defeating the Afton Grove nine at Cottage Grove by a score of 7 to 2.

Francis, Vice-Chairman of the Executive Board of the St. Paul Urban League, acted as Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Jones told of the marvellous advancement made by the Urban League organization during the past fourteen years, from part time secretaries and stenographers to full time ones at an expenditure of more than $400,000 a year for the work of the league. Miss Brown asked for the co-operation of the people of the Twin Cities to help carry on this work, especially along recreational lines. Mr. Hill spoke of the Industrial situation relative to the Race. Mr. E. A.

Milholland Dies; Was Great Friend of Negro John Elmer Milholland, former newspaper editor and writer, died at his New York home, 247 Fifth Ave. Tuesday, June 30. Mr. Milholland was one of the staunchest friends of the Negro race and never hesitated to speak out against discrimination and prejudice. He was born at Lewis, N. Y., sixty-five years ago, and was educated abroad and in this country. After being graduated from New York University, he purchased the Ticonderoga Sentinel but sold it a short time later to join the staff of the New York Tribune, where he remained for twelve years. He won a wide reputation as a journalist and was one of the first to give publicity to the work Booker T. Washington was then doing in building Tuskegee. He was a warm personal friend of the Great Educator, as well as others connected with the work at Tuskegee. Mr. Milholland was also much interested in the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, having been a member of the board of directors of that organization. Last year he came in for much publicity by his action in condemning the discrimination of former members of the suffragist organization who invited Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Mrs. Addie Hunton to speak at a memorial in honor of his daughter, Inez Milholland Boissevian, and then insulted them. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jean T. Milholland, and a son, John Milholland, and a daughter, Vida Milholland. FRENCH BAR "HIT Paris, July 10.—The "Hit the Negro" game so popular on American Midways was barred from the Paris Modern Arts Exposition by the officials of the exposition. The idea of a French citizen of any color being treated in such an ignorantous manner was repulsive to the citizens. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1925 NOTED CHINESE CLAIMS WORLD BELONGS TO ALL Migration Upheld, World Belongs to All, Oriental Says at Honolulu Forum. Honolulu, July 10.—Interest again centered in immigration at a general forum discussion of the Institute of Pacific Relations Tuesday. Dr. T. A. Chen, professor of sociology at Tsinghua college, Perking, said, "The right to change one's home is an inalienable right. Exclusion laws are unjust because one of the principal grounds for discrimination is race or color. The right of migration also is a natural right. The world is a common possession. No people can be justified in withholding unused lands that other people can use and need urgently. 300 to Square Mile. "In some western countries where agriculture is the chief occupation, the density of population is half a person to a square mile whereas in China there are nine provinces whose density exceeds 300 persons to the square mile." Dr. Chen argued that the Chinese are not non-assimilable. "It would be nearer the truth to say that no serious attempt has ever been made in any country of the Pacific at any time to assimilate Chinese." Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Leland Stanford university, addressing the Rotary club said although the Institute of Pacific Relations was unofficial and informal, it was destined to become a permanent and effective instrument in moulding public opinion throughout the world. William Allen White Speaks. William Allen White of Emporia, Kan., said "this great institute is just part of a general movement of the day to bring higher justice to all mankind. I predict the day may come when the ideals we remotely dream about may have become accomplished facts." He said that if the Ku Klux Klan of Emporia had seen Saturday's parade in Hilo it "would have seen a spectacle of an Asiatic town translated into 'Main street.' The World War shattered the Orient's faith in the white man's common sense." SHOCKED WHEN THEY FIND PRIZE WINNER IS COLORED Keystone, W. Va., July 10.—When a party of whites discovered that the winner of the recently awarded scholarship to the Fontainbleau School of Music in Paris was a colored girl, Miss Maud Wanzer of Charleston, W. Va., on going to the docks to see her off last week, they were astounded and threatened every means of preventing the trip, but Miss Wanza sailed. The girl was accused of false pretence by the whites, who told her they would cable the French school not to admit her. Before sailing Miss Wanza referred the case to the N. A. A. C. P. Miss Wanza is a former pupil of Walter Damrosch, conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra. 77 RACE SCHOOLS BUILT IN N. C. IN PAST 5 YEARS Washington, D. C., July 10.—During the past five years North Carolina has spent $35,537,403 in the construction of new school buildings or additions having five or more standard classrooms, according to the Bureau of Education. Of these, 647 were for white and 77 for colored children. The average cost per city classroom was $8,274 for white and $4,381 for colored pupils. The average cost per rural schoolroom was $3,831 for whites and $1,742 for colored pupils. Well Known Resident of Stillwater Dies Miss Carrie Lee Lindsay died July 2, 1925, at the family home, 904 Churchill street, Stillwater, Minn. She had beer in ill health for the past fourteen years, yet her death came as a shock owing to her bright and cheerful personality, which enabled her to share with the family circle until Wednesday, when she was confined to her bed and passed away peacefully Thursday at 10:30 P. M. She leaves to mourn her passing her mother, Mrs. Phoebe Lindsay, two brothers, W. T. and E. W. Lindsay; two sisters, Mrs. J. W. Peyton, 751 Margaret street, St. Paul, and Miss Era Lindsay.

To Prosecute Murderer New York, July 10.—The Franklin, Kentucky, Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports that it has employed A. J. Oliver, ex-State Senator and Allen County Attorney, to assist in the prosecution of Lawrence McGuire, a white man charged with the murder of Dee Savage, a colored employee of McGuire's mother. It is charged that McGuire entered Savage's room while the latter was asleep, struck him with a hammer and cut his throat with a razor, afterwards claiming he was temporarily insane at the time the crime was committed. Savage was known as a quiet, inoffensive and industrious man. McGuire was tried and given a 15-year jail sentence in the March term of the Simpson Circuit Court. He was granted a new trial and thereupon the Franklin N. A. A. C. P. employed counsel to assist in the prosecution. DE HART HUBBARD TO ENTER NEWSPAPER GAME Chicago, Ill.—After breaking the world's record in the running broad jump and closing his college career at Michigan in a blaze of glory, DeHart Hubbard in an interview declared that he planned to enter newspaper work as his life's work. If Hubbard is near as successful in this game as in athletics he will set the newspaper world on fire. During his college career Hubbard gained the reputation of being a clean sport and one of the most versatile athletes to represent the Wolverines. He was also a member of the Olympic team last year and there acquitted himself with credit. KLAN ASSAULTS CHILDREN JUDGE TELLS N.A.A.C.P. Juvenile Court Judge Expresses Conviction That Klan Cannot Endure. Denver, June 30.—Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile and Family Court, speaking at the Monday night meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Zion Baptist Church, asserted that complaints had been filed in his court by parents and teachers whose children had been assaulted because they were Catholics or Jews. Judge Lindsey said in part: "We have had complaints from parents and teachers in our court in Denver of assaults upon white children because they were Catholics or Jews. These assaults have been just as unreasonable, un-Christian and violent as they ever were upon people just because God's sunshine and climate had made their skins black instead of white. "It is not uncommon to receive reports of hostility among children in this and, no doubt, other Klan-ridden communities, all because of their differences in religion and because these innocent children are poisoned with the idea that they are better than others and that socially, Catholic and Jewish children are not any more fit to be their companions than colored children. "One of the many lessons we are to learn from the Ku Klux Klan is that the white man is becoming a common sufferer with the colored man because of intolerance and injustice to the Negro. If the Negro can be, as he has been, denied his constitutional rights, may not the same thing be done to the white man? Thus this phenomenon of the Klan, even though it be a phase and a passing phase, is, nevertheless, one of the penalties upon the sins of all of us in an all too heedless disregard of the rights of men whose color differs from ours. "Colored men, equally children of the same Father, are coming nearer and nearer to real kinship with their white brethren. Their patience, their forbearance, their forgiveness and their Christian attitude towards, oppression and ostracism, are bringing about a greater victory and a surer relief in the end from their bondage than could possibly come from any action that involved either force, violence or hate. These outlawed weapons of the past are being revived again in the modern inquisitions of the Ku Klux Klan." Judge Lindsey expressed the conviction that the Klan could not endure, and quoted Abraham Lincoln's opposition to a similar movement, the Know-Nothing party. GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL BACKED BY NEGROES Springfield, Ill., July 10.—A labor bill, known as the Anti-Injunction Bill, which affects all organized labor in the state of Illinois, which was passed chiefly through elegant pleas by colored union lobbyists and two colored representatives of the State Legislature, Hon. William King and Hon. Warren B. Douglass, has been signed by Governor Small. The bill prevents court interference with peaceful picketing and persuasion. Texarkana, Ark., July 10—Joe E. Herndon, believed to be the wealthiest Negro in the United States, and who acquired a huge fortune when oil was struck on his small farm near Blecher, La., died at his home here as he was preparing to enjoy his new-found wealth. Daughter Elks of Twin Cities Thank Aids Minnehaha Temple No. 129 and Como Temple No. 128 wish to thank the joint committee of the Daughter Elks of the Twin Cities for the beautiful management on the occasion of the reception in honor of our Grand Officers. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler; Mrs. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Organizer, and Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, Grand Secretary, recently held in Elks' Hall, Minneapolis. We deeply regret the inability of Mrs. Kelly to attend, her detention being caused by a painful accident while touring to the Twin Cities. We extend to her our sympathy. Mrs. Lezar, Mistress of Ceremonies, introduced the Exalted Ruler and Grand Patriarch, J. Finley Wilson, and his wife, Grand Organizer. The Exalted Ruler made one of his wonderful talks, which was ably responded to by Mrs. Natalie Johnson, Grand Traveling Deputy. Mrs. Wilson touched the hearts of her audience in her remarks, the response being by the deputy of Minnehaha Temple, Mrs. Mamie Crowder. There were also talks by the Grand Recording Secretary, Mrs. Nellie McCullough, the Daughter Ruler of Como Temple; Mrs. Ella Alice Jackson, and the Daughter Ruler of Minnehaha Temple, Mrs. Gertrude Thomas.

Mr. Raymond Cannon introduced the Urban League president, Mr. Jepson, and the National Secretary, Kinkle Jones, gave a talk on the history and aims of the league. Secretary Abram Harris spoke briefly, and all enjoyed an interesting program. RAILROAD COMPANY BUYS N. Y. PORTER'S INVENTION New York, July 10.—Fred D. Wright, 43, a Pullman buffet car porter on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, has invented a device which increases the effectiveness of the vacuums used in the cleaning of railroad cars. His invention has been accepted by the company for a sum which is said to have made Wright independent. Through the device created by Wright, every particle of trash or waste up to the size of a nickle may be picked up with perfect ease, making a thorough and more rapid cleaning possible. Wright began work on the railroad when 11 years old as a water carrier. His careful observance during his service with the road gave him his idea for the new invention. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY A. A. C. P. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS IGHTS EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE FLAYS DAWES' VIEWS William Monroe Trotter of Boston Writes Open Letter to Vice-President. Boston, Mass., July 10.—The National Equal Rights League has sent an "open letter" to General Dawes taking exception to his announced willingness to give up his reform on Senate rules for such measures as the Dyer anti-lynching bill and such others as the South claimed invaded States rights. The league asks whether General Dawes represents Republican policies and whether this anti-lynching bill is simply a bait. The letter is as follows: Letter to Dawes. "Dear Sir: The Colored citizens of the country, who have hailed with hope your efforts to reform the archaic and obstructive rules of the United States Senate, whereby a very small minority may prevent a vote on any or all measures, and who have been encouraged by your able and firm rebuttal to all objections raised, are stunned by your complete surrender of your principles when it came to the sectional objections raised by Southern Democratic senators. "Colored Americans have been the chief sufferers from the ancient senate rules since the time when their soldiers had been an indispensable factor in saving the country from the South's rebellion even until now. Nearly every measure proposed in congress to provide enforcement of their civil and political rights has been defeated either by the senate rules or with the Southern Democratic threat to filibuster under them given as the Republican excuse for not securing constitutional rights and protection to our Race. Gave People Hope. "When your crusade began the Colored people, already discouraged over the failure of recent Republican administrations to repair the damage wrought by two terms of the southern Democracy, and by the flat surrender of the party to the filibuster of the Southern Democratic senators on the Dyer anti-lynching bill, began to take hope that a better day was (Continued on page 2) Popular Society Couple to Wed Next Tuesday The marriage of Mr. Arthur Vincent Hall to Miss Nora Covington will occur Tuesday evening, July 14, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Scott, 325 N. Chatsworth St., St. Paul. Miss Covington is the daughter of Mrs. Hattie McManus, and is well known in the Twin Cities, where both she and Mr. Hall have been popular in church and social affairs. Mr. Hall is successfully engaged in the barbering business with his brother, and has long maintained one of the leading shops in the city, located in the Pittsburgh Building. He is also well known in musical circles, being leader of the choir of Pilgrim Baptist Church. He has been instrumental in making this organization one of the best in the Northwest. This choir has been honored time and again by invitations from prominent white churches in the Twin Cities to furnish vocal music. It also broadcasts for the WCCO. Mr. Hall is a writer of good verse and possesses a natural poetic gift. The Bulletin-Appeal has published some of his race poems. Mr. Hall, long a bachelor, was thought to be impervious to the darts of Cupid. But the right one caught his fancy and caused him to capitulate. The many friends of the young couple extend heartfelt congratulations and wish them much happiness.

The Colored Race to become economically successful must learn the science of business. The mere fact that a man engages in a business is not enough. He may know his line and possess superior skill and then fail to succeed. In these days of keen competitive commercialism it is necessary to employ scientific principles if success is to be obtained. In other words, to be a factor and remain on "Main Street" requires a knowledge of how to run a business as it should be conducted. Right and wrong governs all human conduct. There is a reason for financial success as well as failure. Modern business methods are taught in the schools and colleges as a science. Success is not a hit or miss matter attributed to luck, but is reduced to basic methods that are absolutely sound. Graduates of business become efficiency experts and their services are in demand by the big business concern. The Race man or woman, lacking such knowledge, must pay for expert service, and should be willing to do so as freely as their competitor. Sentiment is a dead letter in the business world today; it is a matter of making money by giving value received and rendering service. These are the underlying factors in business success. The Colored Race, owing to its unfortunate former condition, has produced only a small percentage of successful members in the business world. They lack business acumen to govern barter and sale; unaccustomed to big undertakings, their natural timidity prevents the assumption of great responsibility. And yet they possess the means that would make them a successful power within a comparatively short time. One of the first lessons to be learned is that of values. If a thing has value and is desired, it should command what it is worth, and no more. That does not mean, however, that price should govern alone; indeed, price in any transaction is secondary—value is the governing principle. This paper is a Race enterprise and its mission is to promote the interests of the Race; to champion its cause when that interest is affected in the enjoyment of constitutional rights of citizenship. If it does not live up to its pretensions then it is of little if any value to the community it essays to serve and is not entitled to support. On the other hand, if it is living up to its high aims, then it is of value to the community and warrants unstinted support. If it charges a just and reasonable rate for its advertising space and publicity and reaches a large percentage of the public desired, then it is of value to the advertiser for the publicity it gives and is entitled to compensation for the service it renders. We use the above illustration to call attention to the fact that too little importance is given by members of the Race to matters that must govern business if it is to survive and attain success. The principles are fundamental and apply to business of every kind and nature. CONSTRUCTIVE LEADERSHIP In progress is dependent upon leadership. And doer, discovers the truth in nature and life. He becomes al eader along the lines of his diary the gainer thereby. The man or woman study to the solution of problems for the best sweal is on the road to real leadership. Other such endeavors are in the world of business professions, or the arts and sciences. Such only to the field of their labors and its quality, the success attained and their fitness and genie the dominant commanders. Their work is m the benefits that are derived by humanity. Human progress is dependent upon leadership. The great thinker, and doer, discovers the truth in nature and becomes the scientist. He becomes al eader along the lines of his discovery and mankind is the gainer thereby. The man or woman who gives time and study to the solution of problems for the betterment of the commonweal is on the road to real leadership. And this is true whether such endeavors are in the world of business, politics, the trades, professions, or the arts and sciences. Such leadership is limited only to the field of their labors and its quality is dependent upon the success attained and their fitness and general ability to become the dominant commanders. Their work is measured according to the benefits that are derived by humanity. The real leader is endowed by nature for leadership. He may be a criminal and lead destructively, or he may possess lofty ideals and lead constructively. Fortunately, false leadership is short lived—only constructive leadership endures. The world has had great leaders of men in the domain of thought and invention whose contributions added to the sum total of human happiness, but it has produced few leaders who have had a bearing on the destiny of nations. To retain dominant leadership it must have for a prime object the welfare of others with an absence of selfish motive. In every community are to be found the real and the false leader amongst the various groups residing therein. Whenever a member of a group rises above the mediocrity, in any line of endeavor, he is acclaimed to be a leader of that group, regardless of his fitness for leadership. The Colored Rase has suffered sorely through having this kind of leadership fostered upon it by well intentioned friendly groups. Many of the selected leaders prove to be failures and sad disappointments—lacking the essential qualifications for leader- ship. With the Race leader of this variety he is usually carried away with his own vanity, completely losing sight of the welfare of the group of which he is a member. Whenever there is cause for grievance by the majority of this group, this so-called leader, intervenes and becomes an apologistic compromiser—a trimmer. Wrongs can never be righted through compromise. The Race stands in need of leaders who are fearlessly unrelenting in the advocacy of its rights; men who are not subject to the whine of sycophancy, no matter how subtle, possessing the manhood to stand upon principle and fight courageously at all times in its defense. The trimmer accomplishes nothing for either his group or himself. Complaint has reached this office of a shameful condition existing in the Rondo business district. We are told that at certain prominent corners young boys congregate to carry on flirtations with girls and young women. It is also reported that young girls are willing victims to such disgraceful attention and indulge in all kinds of outrageous performances. Such conduct is not only detrimental to the various business interests of this section, but reflects general discredit upon our group. Parents are responsible, in a measure, for not keeping in touch with their children as to their whereabouts and conduct. However, this delinquency on the part of the parent is not an excuse for these young people—many of whom have attained their legal age. We feel it incumbent upon us as a newspaper, having the best interest of the Race at heart, to serve notice that this deplorable condition must cease. If these young social offenders fail to accept our warning by continuing to make themselves objectionable, it will be at their peril. We will invoke the aid of the law. Rondo street is going to be respectable, a thoroughfare of safety, and not a rendezvous for hoodlums. Street lizards are an undesirable asset to any community. That civilization is in a state of degeneracy is obvious by the young men and women of the period. They and their descendants will have charge of affairs tomorrow. The potential fathers and mothers betray mental and physical weakness. Bobbed hair, high heeled sandals, silk hosiery, abbreviated skirts and faces painted with enough powder and carmine to put a Commanche Indian to blush. We do not have to wonder about the kind of off-spring from such a maternity. It requires no great mentality to create a fortune under the predatory system in vogue in this country. The late Charles F. Murphy, Tammany chief, left a $2,000,000 estate. Fat frying in Gotham is a profitable pastime for the powers that control and distribute political preferment. New York is indeed provincial. Ferdinand Havis was born in Shay County, Arkansas, November 15, 1847. He attended for a short time only a rural school, but was obliged to abandon school and go to work. However, a novel plan was invoked as a means of obtaining an education for the young man. His mother went to school each day, mastered the lessons, and then at night taught the ambitious boy who eagerly awaited her. By the time he was 21 he had run the gauntlet as a laborer. He had learned the barber's trade and soon established a shop at Pine Bluff, Ark. He was a likeable young man, a fine workman, and at once became popular. Three years later he was induced to enter the political arena and was elected an alderman. He served the city of Pine Bluff in this capacity for a period of 24 years. In 1873 he was elected to the state legislature, but resigned to become assessor, through the appointment of Governor Baxter, serving as such for two years. In 1882 he was elected circuit clerk, in which position he remained for ten years. He was the Republican nominee for United States Senator from Arkansas in 1886. Mr. Havis was a delegate to the National Republican Convention every year, with the exception of two, from 1880 to 1918. These exceptions were when Taft and Hughes were nominated for the presidency of the United States. He was a colonel on the staff of General H. King in the famous "Brooks and Baxter war," and was one of the historic "306" who stood like a solid phalanx by General Grant for a third term as president. He was chairman of the Republican County Committee of Arkansas for twelve years. He was a power in the ranks of the Republican party in his state and the nation. In this respect he divided honors equally with the late General Powell Clayton. Tiring of politics, which had proven fascinating but unremunerative, and for which he had peculiar talent, he engaged in private business. Mr. Havis bought farm lands extensively when the market price was cheap and improved them with modern buildings and methods. He owned about 3,000 acres. Of this amount of land he cultivated 1,000 acres. The rest is timber and pastureage of great value. Mr. Havis acquired large interests in real estate holdings in the city, mostly income property. His own residence was a large, modern house, located on one of the principal streets for fine homes in Pine Bluff. He died August 25, 1918, at the age of 71 years, and left an estate worth approximately $1,000,000. Throughout his business life he found time to devote to church and lodge work.

He was a success in all his efforts, because he put the best he had to give in his work, and played the game of life squarely. Gleanings From Our Exchanges The Colored citizens of America, like the other proscribed races, wonder why the Ku Klux Klan should be permitted to parade in Washington. True it is that the Kluxers will have to march unmasked. Consequently the rats that do not stay under cover will, of course, have their guilty, bigoted faces exposed. If the parade assumes the proportions announced the Colored, Hebrew and Catholic Washingtonians will have their first opportunity to see only the bitter and bold foes of their color and creed. Still the question persists, why should the federal government permit these sworn, brazen enemies of the Constitution to flaunt their treason flags in its very face? The Klan wishes to counter demonstrate against the Catholics who last summer staged their mighty conclave in the Capital. The Klan wishes to counter demonstrate against President Coolidge, who threatens by his clarion words the citadels of bigotry. The Klan wishes to demonstrate against Colored America as it is laying too firm a hold upon industrial and civic equality. The Klan wishes to demonstrate against the increasing democracy of the nation toward the Hebrew and the foreign-born. All these loyal Americans and all these beneficent movements have the Kleagles and the Klavern structure tottering upon its foundation of shifting sand. The Klan must sow the seeds of racial and religious discord or its doom is sealed. The Klan must stop the dawn of liberty and equality or its grafters can no longer blackjack the bigots and morons who walk in the darkness of race and religious hatred. The Klan must parade in the Capital of the nation to give heart to its vicious but dwindling minions in Mississippi, Georgia, and the provinces. The United States Government would not permit the Reds of Russia to march past the White House. The Klan convention constitutes a real menace to the present peace. The United States Government should forbid its parade in the District of Columbia—New York News. THE MENACE OF RONDO STREET that has reached this office of a shameful Rondo business district.

This world is not a hopeless wreck going down into the black depths of sin and despair; it is the world which Jesus came to redeem and of which He taught His followers to pray, "Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven." If Jesus knew that this could never be, then He was surely an unmoral teacher. This world, the whole world, is God's world, and here some day the will of God shall surely be done, and the spirit of God pervade all relationships of men. endeavoring to live God in the home, in the community and in the world.

Washington, July 10—Seven states have passed new laws for the suppression of lynching during the last ten years, according to a report prepared by Professor Monroe N. Work of Tuskegee Institute for the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches to be published shortly. Two other states—Oklahoma and North Carolina—have strengthened their laws against the "great American crime." In all there are now thirteen states that have special lynching laws. Bills for the suppression of lynching have been introduced into practically all Southern states. Four of the states passing new anti-lynching laws are Northern or Western. They are Kansas, Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Two of them—Kentucky and West Virginia—may be classed as border states. Other states with anti-lynching laws are Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee. During this ten-year period, according to the report, the Federal anti-lynching law, known as the Dyer bill, was introduced into Congress, and its discussion greatly aroused public attention to the evil. The bill was pending when Congress adjourned. In announcing the publication of the report, Dr. Haynes, secretary of the Commission, says: "These efforts for national and state laws will be a great help against mob violence. Legislation will be effective, however, just in so far as public opinion backs up the law and insists that officers uphold the laws and protect prisoners and that properly constituted courts try prisoners, irrespective of color or creed, in an impartial manner. "During the first five months of this year there were seven lynchings, one of the victims being burned at the stake. This is two victims more than the first six months of last year and seven too many for America. The churches and all good citizens must redouble their efforts to stop the mob record for this year where it is. America must become a 'lynchless land in 1926.' To that end we must end murder now. The maintenance of law and the security of life in our nation are at stake." SIOUX FALLS NEWS The St. John Baptist Church gave a barbecue at Elmswood Park July 4.

Social wrongs and disorders breed many of the sorst of human ills, sins, sickness, poverty and crushed lives, but much vice; and it would be impious to call them chastenings of the Lord to make Him the patron of the existing social order. "Why didn't God stop the war?" But whence come wars save from human passions?

For, with the rules changed, there would be a chance to pass, if not measures to stop peonage, segregation in federal carriers and disfranchisement, at least the bill to make lynching a federal crime. "Iimagine the Race's amazement when reading in the newspapers that in your address this week at Manchester, N. H., you cited the argument of these Southern Democratic senators that the present rules had prevented the passage of such measures as the Lodge bill for federal protection of the ballot and this same agreed that the present rules should be retained for all measures which the white South as represented in the senate held to be contrary to their view of state rights. Says Dawes Flopped. "If you have been correctly reported, gone is all our belief in your consistency, in your loyalty to Colored Republicans, in your friendliness to the Race, and blasted are all our hopes for passage ever of any federal anti-lynching bill, with so high a Republican official, so responsible a Republican leader, excepting from reform of the rules all measures to guarantee constitutional rights to Colored citizens in the South, or even protection from lynchings. "Colored Americans now call upon you to state frankly whether your desertion of your reforms and surrender of your principles of remedy when the Democratic South raises the cry of 'states' rights,' under which they specifically include federal legislation against lynching, indicate Republican policy, and means that the party does not intend to sincerely attempt to pass any law to restore constitutional rights or protection for Colored citizens in the South, not even an anti-lynching ing bill, but to hide behind the excuse of southern filibusters. "The National Equal Rights league, in behalf of Colored America, asks General Dawes, whether you are telling us that the Dyer bill is simply a political hoax, and doing so just when dread lynch law strides from the South far up into Utah, with mangling, long, slow torture, and the driving of a spike through the neck of a human being into a stake. We await your reply. "Yours for constitutional rights, "WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER, "National Cor. Sec. of Equal Rights League."

Uncle Sam's appeal for payment might have seemed more eloquent if he hadn't just confessed to a $100,000 surplus. It is hard to be a leader in America. You can't tell which way the darned crowd is going to jump next. We are not without a twinge of envy for J. T. Scenes of Dayton, Tenn. The young high school teacher who can give a simple lesson in biology and become a great national menace is getting into the hall of fame on an uncomplimentary ticket. F.

Washington—A nation-wide move ment to conserve the lumber resources of the United States was started by the appointment of a conservation committee, of which Secretary Hoover has agreed to act as chairman. The committee is to make a thorough study of the wood-using Industries and Teport at a conference to be held next fall. One of the big objects sought Is to obtain closer co-operation in insur- ing full use of all timber cut. ‘The committee comprises represent- atives of the railways, the paper and pulp industry, purchasing agents of the country, wood-using industries, Jumber manufacturers and retailers, architects and contractors, the Ameri- can Engineering council and the na- ‘tonal farmer organizations. ‘A preliminary conference, called by Secretary Hoover, has been in session here for some time and it was voted that definite action to brittg about con- servation was essential to the best in- terests of the nation. At the close of the conference the situation was summed up by John V. W. Reynders of New York, who represented the American Engineering council. “The United States,” he sald, “has deen living in a fool's paradise. For- eign governments are studying eco- nomics, and unless we take the same step economy measures will be forced upon us. Industry must look at such problems from a national standpoint.” Voluntary Action. Secretary Hoover explained what the Department of Commerce had been developing during the last three years with industry to eliminate waste. It has been found possible, he sald, to obtain practical results by voluntary action, the funetion of the government being to bring together the industries that they might unite for such action ‘as would serve the common Interest. Secretary Hoover sald the fact that timber was being cut at a rate four times faster than it was being re- placed, called for immediate and con- structive action. The problem for the committee, he added, dealt with the problems faced in making for economy of use after the forest had become a commercial product. Announcement was made by Mr. Hoover that an anonymous gift of $25,- 000 a year for two years had been re- ceived, to serve as the nucleus for financing the investigations which the committee will undertake. He recom- mended that the program of the com- mittee take the form of day-to-day op- erations, with studies being made of specific industries to ascertain the full facts, and then to be considered from the standpoint of thelr relation with other Industries, to the end that the by-products of one Industry might be Utilized wherever possible by another. One of the faulty functions of the present-day commercial and industrial fabric, Secretary Hoover contended, ‘was that industries had not been Drought together to co-operate In the national interest. Such co-operation, he sald, would not only bring economy of operation of Industry, but would Tesult in a more efficient use of raw materials. Paper Industry. A report on behalf of the American Paper and Pulp association was made ‘by Norman W. Wilson, president of that organtation. He sald the paper and pulp industry was tackling the problem from two ends. More and more mills were employing foresters to secure expert treatment of the tim- ber and to reproduce thelr wood sup- piles, he sald. At the finishing end of the industry increasing attention was being given to research for new uses for by-products. Hugh P. Baker of New York, secre- tary of the same organization, sald that while the paper and pulp industry consumed 6,000,000 cords of wood an- nually, this was but 4 per cent of the timber cut in the United States. The value of paper products and paper goods Is about $24,000,000,000, ‘The industry, he sald, has two prob- lems, one technical and the other com- mercial, In the technical field decay ot wood and utilization of decayed woods has been combated by the forest products laboratory. Hardwoods were being used with success where they were not formerly usable and where @ decade ago foresters regarded the hardwood trees as a nuisance. Howard Andrews of Nashville, rep- resenting the National Association of Rallroad Tie Producers, sald that through the use of wood preservative the industry already had reduced the replacement of ties from a rate of 825 er mile in 1920 to 90 per mile In 1924. Col. W. B. Greely of the federal for- est service, who will act as vice chatr man of the new conservation commit. tee, argued for the establishment of some sort of clearing house and guld- ing agency to ald in the conservation aan Pensioned 75 Years Washington.—A perusal of records, prompted by the recent death of James Q.

London.—The little shop girls of Ire- land are responsible for a boom in the artificial silk trade that is one of the bright spots in the business life of these Isles. ‘The manofacturers of a new process of weaving artificial silk material, an industry started long before the war, are now banking fatted dividends be- cause the giris in the shops and offices, and even schools, are no longer con- tent to wear the cotton stockings and cotton blouses which they displayed before and throughout the war. That attitude for style changing which In America could make and un- make flapper fashions overnight, moves slower in England, and a year or so ago the English girls found that much of their social standing was based upon silk stockings. ‘The manufacturers of the artificial silk then reopened their mills, closed by post-war dormancy, and have kept the factories working overtime pro- ducing stockings, blouses and other similar articles.’ The artificial silk trade has grown until now most of the long-established - woolen and cotton spinning firms are producing artificial silk of some sort. Machinery for mak- Ing artificial ot garments and novel- ties is being invented and marketed daily. Since the war factories for produc- ing the synthetic silks have been ee tablished at Bury, Nelson, Peterbor- ough and Golbourne, The industry has spread also to Indin, where artificial silk shawls, headdresses and cloths are being pro- duced with even a more luxurious gloss and feathery softness than real silk. Offers to Pay Damage His Horse Did to Engine Iron Mountain, Mich.—The unusual happens in all lines of industrial ac- tivity, out the officials of the North- western rallrond are discubging an inct- dent that holds no parallel in the his- tory of the company. The collision of @ freight train with horse and a wagon is not new to railroading. And clatms for damages to compensate the owner of the horse ‘and wagon for his losses are nothing to excite the railroad world. But when the owner of the horse and wagon sends an apology to the railway company declaring the fault to be his, and requesting a bill in order to pay the loss inflicted on the ratlway company, that is different. Yet this 1s precisely what happened recently when a horse valued at $300, hitched to a load of wood, was struck by a Nerthwestern freight train at Iron Mountain and killed. ‘The wagon was wrecked and the wood strewn along the tracks. Thg following day M. J. Fox of the Von “Platen Lumber company, Iron Mountain, owner, wrote to the com- Dany offering to pay all damages It had suffered in the melee. New Austrian Currency Wipes Out Millionaires vienna.—American visitors to Aus tria, who used to get a thrill when on crossing the Austrian frontier they had to pay 70,000 crowns for thelr first meal on Austrian soll In the din- ing car, will soon be deprived of this sensation. They will no longer gasp, as they did when tailors in Vienna charged them 4,000,000 crowns for a sult of clothes. They will not be benumbed by huge figures with little meaning, nor hesi- tate before giving the elevator boy a 1,000-crown bankbill, Austria is to have a new currency, which will re- duce everything to the seven-fold of dollar prices, Future denominations will be “shill ing” and “steuber," and seven shill Ings will be equal to $1, while the shilling will be subdivided Into 100 steubers. There will be 10,000 paper crowns to one shilling, An Austrian million, which almost anybody might have, will melt down to 100 shillings. Owners of paper billions, or “miliardaere,” as they are called, no longer will be in the capl- talist ‘class, a8 one paper billion will be worth only 100,000 shillings.

San Antonio, Texas.—Nestling tn the foothills of Starr county, lying snugly against the banks of the somber and treacherous Rio Grande, rubbing shoulders with the quaint and typical- ly Mexican town, Rio Grande City, Just midway between Brownsville and La- redo, 18 located one of the most dignl- fied and stately of army posts—Fort Ringgold, Texas, Chaplain R. W. Rog- ers, who prepared the history of this post for the United States Army Re- eruiting News, says that while having enjoyed a varied but quiet career, it nevertheless {s considered a very strategic border post. Fort Ringgold was established when the Rio Grande was navigable, boats bringing the first detachment of men to Davis Landing which later was called Ringgold Bar- racks. In those early days the near- est railroad was at Laredo something more than 100 miles away, while now she boasts a railroad at Sam Fordyce, only 20 miles away. Camargo, Mex., six miles south of Fort Ringgold, was founded March 5, 1749, by Jose de Escandon. The first survey and map was made for the king of Spain in 1765. It shows a line run- ning north 8,624 varas (38 1-3 inches) from the cross, the central point of op- erations In Camargo. This line then ran northeast including the Fort Ring- gold reservation, With the withdrawal of Texas from Mexico and its admis- ston to the United States, the original title changed over to the state. In the early 40's, H. Clay Davis, a restless young wanderer, drifted to that sec- tion of the country and purchased a large tract of land. He soon established & prosperous ranch and settled down to make his fortune. Capt. J. H. La Motte, First United States infantry, took a small detach- ment of soldiers up the Rio Grande to Davis Landing, arriving on October 26, 1848, Not until 1853 was the first lease made. A tract 400 yards square, sur rounded by a brush fence, containing 88 acres was surveyed. The lease was signed by H. Clay Davis, owner of the land, and W. W. Chatman, represent- ing the United States. Bandits Cross Border. Immediately following the annexa- tion of Texas to the United States bandits began to cross from Mexico, Killing, looting and burning at will. In repulsing one of these invasions on the battlefields of Palo Alto, an extensive prairie nine miles north of Browns- ville, Maj. David Ringgold was killed May 8, 1846. Honoring Major Ring- gold, the camp at Davis Landing was called Ringgold Barracks in 1849, and more recently designated as Fort Ring- gold. In September, 1854, the second lease was made, and operated five years. During this period log huts were erect- ed for the use of the troops. Early in 1800 th soldiers were ordered further down the rfver owing to the Cortina trouble. ‘The old lease having ex pired during the absence of the troops, another lease was made upon thelr return. This one was to operate for ten years, granting the owner $000 per year. It further provided, the govern- ment had the privilege of buying the land for $28,000. Two years later the Civil war started and the federal troops were taken from the Ringgold barracks, Immediately after the war troops were again sent to that post, arriving in 1867. The property was held by lease until 1878, when It’ was purchased outright. In 1906, a brigade post was estab- Mshed at San Antonio. Fort Ringgold with other border posts was disman- tled and abandoned. The property was turned over to the Department of the Interfor. It was laid off in a town-site and about to be sold when border disturbances again took sol- ‘diers to Fort Ringgold. From 1911 to the present soldiers and National Guardsmen have constantly been on wateh there. However, no !mprove- ment was made until 1917, when the property was again turned back to the War department. In 1918, congress appropriated $250,000 for the improve- ment of the post and in the following years other appropriations have been sufficient to repair and improve the post until today It Is one of the most attractive reservations on the border. Where Lee Lived. ‘The most interesting building ts the three-room frame cottage on the hill near the signal station, This bullding was used by Robert E. Lee, when he was in command there as a colonel Just before the Civil war. ‘The bulld- ing Is still in a perfect state of preser- vation. Many prominent and notable army men have seen service at Fort Ring- gold, Two or three years before the Civil. war Col, Robert B. Lee and Sec- ‘ond Lieutenant Ulysses 8. Grant were stationed there at the same time. It was ® strange coincidence that two lenders of later opposing forces should have been in the same post at the same time. Other prominent officers who have seen service there are: Jef- ferson Davis, General McCullough, General Hood, Lieutenant Colonel Sed- witch, General Buell, General Bee, Ad- miral Semmes, and, more recently, both Generals Pershing and Harbord who served there as ieutenanta ‘Troops which have been stationed there since the rehabilitation are, be- sides the National Guard: Third cav- alry, ‘Thirteenth cavalry, ‘Twenty: eighth infantry ; Second squadron, Thin teenth cavalry and at present the Sec ond squadron of the Twelfth cavalry.
