ANTI-LYNCH BILL ADVANCED VOL. 1, NO. 25 ANT Minn. Historical M Minn. Historical Saint Paul, Minne WOMEN'S CLUB SUCCESSFUL SE Extensive Program of Work well Carried Out According to Various Reports. MRS. SUSAN B. EVANS RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT Women Wire Senator Nelson to Contine to Support Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The seventeenth annual convention of the Minnesota Federation of Colored Women's Club closed at Little Pilgrim-on-the-Hill Friday evening, June 30, after having been in session for three days. The meetings conducted during these three days were very eventful, showing to the public the work that has been done by the Federation during the past year. The meetings opened Wednesday morning with the Executive Board meeting followed by the meeting of the Credential Committee. The formal opening of the convention was at 1:30 with devotional exercises by the Chaplain and followed by the call to order by the President, Mrs. Susan B. Evans of Superior. Reading of Minutes, Roll Call of Officers, Roll Call of Clubs, and appointment of Committees constituted the major portion of the work of the first afternoon, although there was a small program, on which Miss Genevieve Kelly played a piano solo and Miss Julia Newton, State Home Demonstration Leader from the University Farm School, spoke on "The Profession of Home Making." Thursday morning Rev. L. W. Harris, pastor of the church, delivered the address of welcome to the Federation. Rev. Harris commended the women highly on the work that they have been doing and extolled their value to the Country and Home. Mrs. Annie Jordan followed Rev. Harris with the welcoming of the Clubs and Visitors, with a response by Mrs. Ida Sellers. Mrs. Edna Pendleton of Duluth gave a brief history of the Federation, beginning with its organization in St. Paul in 1905 with a membership of 40 and Mrs. Ione Gibbs as President, and leading up to the present time when the Federation boasts of a membership of more than 200. At the Thursday afternoon session, the president, Mrs. Susan B. Evans, delivered her annual address. Mrs. Evans contended in her address that women of both races must work together to wipe out the evil of lynching. She showed how much had been done to this effect already. Dr. O. L. Harper made an address on the Bahai Movement and Dr. V. D. Turner spoke on the N. A. A. C. P. Following the session, the Federation Reciprocity Department, of which Mrs. Rebeque Force is Chairman, sent a telegram to Senator Knute Nelson who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee in Washington, congratulating him on his work for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and urging his continued support. Thursday evening at Union Hall, a Fancy Dress Party was given by the Ways and Means Department of which Mrs. R. F. Wilson is Chairman. This affair was very pretty and attended by very many of the younger and older social set. The greatest feature of the Friday morning session was the discussion on Social Service, Public Welfare, and Child Welfare, led by the President. The Friday afternoon session was favored by a class song, music to which was written by Miss Lucille Williams of Duluth. The song was sung by Miss Honora Evans and Mrs. Thornton of Duluth. Miss Muriel Alexander of St. Paul read a paper on "Fine Arts," and Mr. Reginald Johnson, also of St. Paul, made a talk on "The Advantages of a Public Library." Election of officers was then conducted by Mrs. Ida Sellers of Minneapolis. The Friday evening session was featured by an address by Mr. F. D. McCracken on "Housing." Other numbers were rendered and then the Continued on page 4) THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Dr. Roman Elected Head of Volunteer Medic Association Chattanooga, Tenn., July 7. Dr. C. V.

(Associated Negro Press) (Associated Negro Press) Monrovia, Liberia, July 7.—Nathaniel H. B. Cassell, Writing in "The LIBERIAN PATRIOT" of May 6, 1922, has this to say of President King and his place as a statesman and his availability as a candidate for renomination for President in 1924. "Mr. King since his induction as President has been exceedingly busy. The one absorbing theme claiming his, as well as all thinking Liberians' attention has been a satisfactory settlement of the reapproachment with our traditional sponsor, the United States. There can be no question about it being the biggest question engaging the minds of Liberians, and has been for some time past. It will take all of President King's first term to get that question satisfactorily set on its way, the question, which, until now, he has given the best powers of his mind to. Not because it is the only question, but because of the very nature of it, it must be settled before much else can be done. Not because of the Five Million Dollar Loan Plan; but because, as all the leaders of this country know, or should know, there are bigger and more involving questions. President King has not departed in any respect from the orignal policy outlined in our terms, when we made our first approach to the Government of the United States in 1908, when we sent our Envoys to that Government, headed by Chief Justice Dossen, then Vice President, who has always championed the very closest possible relations with the Government and people of the United States, of which our own Republic is an off shoot. Having had such thorough acquaintance with our foreign relations, having been connected with the Government since the approach to the United States began, and having thus far as President been endeavoring to carry out that policy very religiously, he seems eminently fitted to conduct the business of the state and to become the National Standard Bearer for 1924; it is hoped that our fellow citizens will by their unanimous vote return him to office May 1923." TEXAS DOCTOR SCORES IMPERIAL KU KLUX KLAN Corsicana, Texas, July 7.—The Ku Klux Klan was roundly denounced here last Sunday night by Dr. Charles S. Field of Dallas. Dr. Field scored the Klan as an un-American organization that all Americans should condemn and ostracise. He claimed that Bishop W. N. Ainsworth of the Methodist Church, South had denounced the Klan in no uncertain terms. Dr. Field closed his address by calling on all true lovers of the South to join hands with those who were opposed to practices and position of the Klan. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1922. NELSON APPOINTS S. ED. HALL ON ADVISORY BOARD Notice of Appointment on Mayor's Advisory Board Comes As A Surprise. WILL BE ONLY COLORED MEMBER ON COMMITTEE Appointee Has Been Active Civic Work for Several Years in St. Paul. S. Ed. Hall, 996 Iglehart Ave., one of our leading citizens and a successful business man, received a notice of appointment on Mayor Arthur E. Nelson's Advisory board Thursday morning. Mr. Hall said yesterday that he would accept the appointment. The appointment came as a surprise. Only Colored Member. Immediately after his election, Mayor Nelson announced that he would organize what was to be known as his Advisory Committee, composed of leading citizens from the different district in the city for the purpose of discussing and advising him in various municipal affairs. Presidents of the various commercial clubs and large civic organizations will largely make up the board because of their knowledge of the various needs of the different communities. Mr. Hall will be the only colored member on the board. A Good Worker. As manager of the Helper Movement and a member of various other civic and fraternal organizations, Mr. Hall is recognized as one of St. Paul's leading colored citizens. He, like T. J. Starks and Son, barbers and O. Howell, proprietor of the Uptown Sanitary Shop and a few other, has established a successful barbering business and has figured in many important matters of race interest. He is a good worker. The first meeting of the Advisory board will be held sometime in August, according to Mayor Nelson's recent announcement. Senate Decides to Withhold Yankee Soldiers in Haiti Senate Decides to Withhold Yankee Soldiers in Haiti (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. July 7.—Haiti is not be vacated by the United States. This much was determined in regard to Haitian matters by the action of the Senate committee having special charge of the Haitian situation last Tuesday. The conclusions reached by the committee declare that the occupation of the island by the United States forces is for the good of the people and is the only means whereby peace can be maintained for its peoples at the present time. That mistakes have been made by American representatives is admitted by the committee, but, on the whole, the conduct of the Americans has been exemplary in the main, and should be continued in the occupation of the island. This is thought to end the occupation discussion for the present, at least. HOLSEY TO SUCCEED DR. EMMETT J. SCOTT (Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 7. —Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of the National Negro Business League, announced that A. L. Holsey, Assistant Secretary of the Business League, had been appointed, with the approval of the Executive Committee, to serve as Acting Secretary of the League to fill the unexpired term of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who recently resigned. Mr. Holsey, who is secretary to Dr. Moton, has been active assistant to Dr. Scott in the Business League work for the past six years and brings to his task a large and helpful experience. Mr. Garvey Holds Conference With Imperial Wizard According to a report published in the New York Journal, Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and provisional president of Africa, has just had a conference with Acting Imperial Wizard Clarke of the Ku Klux Klan. So far the creator of the tottering Black Star Line structure has refused to make public any details of the conference which is alleged to have occurred in Atlanta. Garvey is just completing a nationwide campaign in the interests of his many organizations, preparatory to the annual meeting to be held in New York City. It is not known that the Ku Klux leaders have at any other time felt impelled to discuss the problem of race relations with other Race leaders. The only point of similarity between Mr. Garvey's group and that being led by Clarke seems to be that of superiority." Garvey flaunting the black flag and Clarke the white. New Units Planned For Business League Dr. Moton Plans to Organize the Retail Grocers and Others at Annual Meeting. --- (Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 7.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of the National Negro Business League, announced today that one of the special features at the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League which is to be held at Norfolk, Virginia, August 16, 17, and 18, would be the organization of additional affiliated groups. The Bankers, the Farmers, the Insurance men, the Editors, the Undertakers, and the Lawyers have already been organized and are functioning most effectively this year. Dr. Moton plans to organize the following additional groups: The Retail Grocers, the Retail Druggists, the Barber Shop Proprietors, the Real Estate Dealers, the Shoe Repairers, and the Tailors. Invitations have already been extended to a number of successful business men of the race who are engaged in these several pursuits and indications are that quite a number of these new affiliated groups will respond to the call for an organization at Norfolk. Exodus to North Lowers"Black Belts" in South Exodus to North Lowers"Black Belts" in South Baltimore, Md., July 7.—Maryland now has few Negroes than Pennsylvania, according to a report issued by the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation, of Nashville, Tenn. The statement declares that migration to the North and to cities and a decreasing birth rate are causing the disintegration of the historic "black belts" of the South. The report is based upon a study made by Dr. T. J. Wolter, sociologist, of Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Wolter claimed that in 1880 there were 300 counties in the South in which colored population outnumbered the white. By 1920, he said, the number had shrunk to 216. The infant death rate continues high. Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Arkansas each gained from 20,000 to 40,000. Chicago, Ill., July 7.—Morris Fuller, a young Negro, shot and killed a street car conductor, Jesse Goman, last Monday during a quarrel about Fuller's fare. Ollie Reed, a Negro, followed Fuller after he had leaped from the car and captured him in a nearby saloon and held him captive until the arrival of the police. ANNUAL SESSION OF N.A.A.C.P. IS SUCCESSFUL Convention Closed with Eloquent Plea by William Pickens for Amended Racial Harmony. "A NEW NEGRO" IS SLOGAN AT CONVENTION Pres. Harding Pressed by Vote of Convention to Urge Senate to Pass Dyer Bill. Newark, N. J., July 7. The Thirteenth Annual Session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People closed with an eloquent plea by Dean William Pickens to bring the problems of racial differences in America to practical adjustment. Dean Pickens followed the address of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, and brought home his practical applications with a punch that will not be forgotten. Dr. DuBois discussed the evolution of racial differences in the world of today. Throughout the entire session of the conference, there was one outstanding fact: "The Negro of Today is a New Negro and Must be Dealt With in a New Way." The problems of adjustment and better understanding must all be worked out in the light of a new psychology that has come to the darker people of the entire world, and emphasized no less in the 12,000,000 Colored Americans than in other darker peoples. President Harding was urged by unanimous vote of the convention to send a special message to the Senate expressing the importance of passing the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill at the present session of Congress. It was unmistakably disclosed, in the temper and manner of the representatives from twenty-five or more states, that failure to pass the bill, or quibbling over technicalities, as to the constitutionality for instance, will be reflected in a vote of protest at the November elections. There seems to be no argument that can be advanced that will be accepted as a substitute for action. Outspoken in Sentiment. The failure of public officials who had accepted places on the program of the Convention, and then sent last minute expressions of regret, was met on every hand by expressions of displeasure. This was particularly true of the Mayor of Newark, and Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey. The Senator sent a telegram stating that his duties on the finance committee prevented his attendance, but expressed his approval of the Anti-Lynching Bill. The political atmosphere of New Jersey was prevalent throughout the session, and particularly the fight in the Newark district against Congressman Parker, who voted against the Dyer Bill. Mr. Parker has been a member of the House for twenty-five years, but is bitterly opposed this year by a prominent white candidate, and an independent Colored candidate. The session devoted to the co-operation organizations of woman, over which Miss Mary White Covington, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Association presided, marked, also the awarding of the Spingarn Medal to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, for success in directing the campaign for funds to free the home of Frederick Douglass from debt. The various women's organizations of both races disclosed unquestionable progress of a better understanding. Large numbers of the delegates visited the National Offices in New York. The next session of the convention will be held in Kansas City, Kansas. You can't hold back a man who makes himself valuable to his employer. Bill Reported Favorably by Judiciary Committee Believes Lynching Should Be Stopped HENRY CAROT LODGE Insurance Assets Total Six Millions Insurance Assets Total Six Millions Labor Reports Credits 25 Colored Insurance Companies Worth Over Six Million. Washington, D. C., July 7.—The secretary of labor, James J. Davis, announced today that a statistical summary of the finances and personnel of the principal colored insurance companies in the United States, complied for the U. S. Department of Labor by Phil H. Brown, commissioner of conciliation, shows that there are twenty-five representatively active companies, with home offices in thirteen states and the District of Columbia. The insurance sold by these companies covers life, health and accidents, principally. Of the twenty-five companies reporting, four home offices are in North Carolina, four in Georgia, two in Kentucky, two in Pennsylvania, two in Louisiana, two in Florida, two in Virginia, and one in the District of Columbia, Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland and South Carolina. Capitalization figures, which were readily available for only 14 of the 25 companies, total $1,256,000. The total assets of all the companies are $6,339,198.59. During the past fiscal year these companies paid insurance claims of colored policyholders and beneficiaries of the United States in a total amount of $3,072,189. The companies employed 6,575 colored persons, comprised of 527 clerical employees, 3,968 field agents, 1,523 medical examiners and 557 miscellaneous employees, to whom was paid a monthly amount of $259,728.19, either in salaries or commissions. Tulsa Authorities Bar Colored Bell Hops from Hotels Tulsa Authorities Bar Colored Bell Hops from Hotels Tulsa, Okla., July 7.—Chief of Police Ress D. Moran announced on Wednesday night that all hotels in Tulsa will be given until the 10th of the month to discharge the bell boys of the race and replace them with white boys. The chief stated that the social evils of the community could not be entirely controlled, but that they can at least keep the black boys out of it, and that a city ordinance is needed to prevent the employing of them in the hotels. Those who do not comply with this order will be arrested and prosecuted. PRICE, 5 CENTS NCED Favorably Committee Herrin Atrocities Held Responsible for Committee's Favorable Action. FIGHT NOW ON TO PASS ANTI-LYNCHING RULING N. A. A. C. P. and Equal Rights League Will Back-up Fight Until Bill is Passed. (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., July 7.—The Judiciary Committee of the Senate has reported the Dyer-Lynching Bill favorably. This action was made last Friday much to the surprise of the Senate and the Washington public because it was known, for several weeks, that an adverse report on the bill was the most likely action to be taken by the Judiciary committee on the measure. The Herrin, Illinois, outrages are declared to have been the immediate cause for this radical change of front of the committee. Boran Votes Against Bill. Senator Borah, the chairman of the sub-committee having in charge the bill, voted against its favorable report. The Republican members of the committee, Brandegee, Cummings, Colt, Sterling, Ernest, Shortridge, and Nelson voted for the report. Culberson, Overman, Reed, Shields, and Walsh voted with Borah against favorable action. Senator Borah's opposition is declared, by him, to be on the grounds that it is his belief that the Supreme Court will declare the measure unconstitutional if it is adopted by Congress in its present form. Hot Fight Predicted. It looks as if the Senate is in for a hot fight on the question. A considerable number of Republicans are known to be against the adoption of a national anti-lynching measure at this time, believing, they aver, that it will serve no public good in the state of general public's mind, although it is known that there is a substantial Southern sentiment expressing its favor for the adoption of some legislative instrument that will serve as a check on the mob practices of their section. Urges Bill On. That the N. A. A. C. P. and the Equal Rights League deserve great credit for the fight they have put up for the favorable position now held by the bill, is conceded on all sides here. The executives of these organizations voice their intention of going to the mat on the question by carrying the fight right to the floor of the Senate. Every Republican Senator is to be tagged on the position he takes when the final voting takes place. No one can, forecast with certainty, the final outcome. There appears to be powerful interests opposed to national action in this particular instance. No one can point to the influence, but it seems to be around. But the fight is on, nevertheless. ST. PAUL CHURCH STARTS TWO WEEKS CHAUTAUQUA The St. Paul Baptist church, Rev. T. J. Carr, Pastor, started a two weeks Christian Culture Chautauqua on July 2 and will continue until Sunday, July 16. The meetings will be held under a tent at the corner of Mackubin street and West Central avenue. Service will start with a program every night at 7:30 P. M. Speaking of the meetings, Rev. Carr said that it will be "a great educational symposium of sermons, addresses, readings and essays liberally interspersed with vocal and instrumental numbers by some of the best talent in the Twin Cities." The public is invited to attend all of the meetings. --- Published Weekly by the Bulletin Publishing Co. 408 Court Block St. Paul, Minn Phone: Garfield 8480 MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE: 602 Lyndale Ave. N.—Phone Hyland 1066 CHARLES A.

NELSON'S SELECTION Mayor Nelson's selection and appointment of Mr. S. Ed. Hall to represent the Colored citizens of St. Paul on his Advisory Board, in our opinion, is a good one. In Mr. Hall, we believe we have a man capable of representing us intelligently and creditably. We feel that his services to this community have already been valuable. As first president of Union Hall Association, manager of the Helper Employment bureau, member of Pilgrim Baptist church and the Sterling Club and various other organizations, he has proved himself worthy of representing our group. We have found him always ready to assist our people in securing employment and active in charitable work of all sorts. In matters of civic importance, his opinion, his advice has always been sought not only by members of our group but by men who have found his counsel sound and good. We urge our citizens to give Mr. Hall their hearty co-operation and support that the position might receive its due recognition, for after all what he does with the appointment is what you allow him to do. We thank Mayor Nelson for the consideration and congratulate him on his selection. ANOTHER "BRIGHT" IDEA Last week a committee of citizens appeared before the State Industrial Commission to protest the establishment of a separate employment bureau for Negroes to be supported by the state. The committee informed the commission that the establishment of a separate employment bureau would serve no other purpose than to create a "jim-crow" condition and that the citizens of St. Paul did not want it. On the other hand, they pointed out the good that could be done if a Colored man worked from the general office where he would be in constant contact with the general employment situation. There is no doubt, in our opinion, that a trained Colored man working from the established offices would not prove valuable, and we urge the commission to give the proposition every consideration. The establishment of a separate employment bureau, however, is absolutely unnecessary and uncalled for. It will breed segregation and we do not want it. If the Twin City Ministers' Alliance, where we understand the proposition originated and was sanctioned before it was carried to the Industrial Commission, would consult representative citizens of St. Paul and Minneapolis to learn of their opinions, before taking any radical steps in civic matters, possibly results to the advantage of the race could be obtained without a divided front, such as was the case in this employment bureau affair. Such a situation does not profit us anything. There must be more solidarity of purpose among us. CONTEMPORARIES PHILOSOPHY A negro philosopher living on a farm near Cleveland, O., drew the money end of a debate on this question: "Which is the most valuable—an education or money?" The negro won the debate with this line of reasoning: "Just go to a butcher shop, say 'Gimme an education's worth o' pork chops'—an' see what you get." —St. Paul Daily News. PRESIDENTIAL WISHBONE If Mr. President Harding has a few drops of colored blood in his veins, as the "Scandal Book" $14 a volume, alleges, these few drops operate to prevent him pushing a single constructive measure for the benefit of the several millions of darker voters who voted to place him in office. There have been more splits and evidences of dissatisfaction in the Republican Party under President Harding than any other Republican president of the past twenty-five years. Part of this is due to the progress of the colored people who are growing more and more impatient with Republican promises, but also part is due to Mr. Harding, who sits in the White House like a Sphinx and says nothing. James Weldon Johnson was at the White House last week to urge the President to come out openly and pub- --- licly to urge the Senate to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Has anyone heard the President speak even in a whisper about this measure? There is that little matter of the conduct of our marines in Haiti and Santo Domingo. Mr. Harding has been asked to withdraw the marines from Haiti and send colored regular army units to do this work, because black American soldiers will work more sympathetically with the back West Indians. Again silence only came from the White House. Some fifteen federal positions throut the United States were given to colored politicians by Roosevelt and Taft. When Mr. Wilson was president he gave them to Southern Democrats, and they are holding them yet. "Mr. Harding, he sez nothin'." Mr. Harding and the War Department have both been asked about recalling some of the colored officers, who served in the last war, to the active list and putting them in charge of colored regiments. On this question, the White House silence has been appaling. Friends of the Chief Executive declare that Mr. Harding wishes as president to do all that he can for the advancement of black citizens as well as white citizens. True, but what is the use of any man having a WISHBONE, when what he needs is BACKBONE. —Afro-American ARTHUR BRISBANE ON HARVARD By William Pickens (For Associated Negro Press) The specious argument is often difficult to detect. Arthur Brisbane, with the evident purpose of justifying Harvard in "limiting" the Jews, cites an opinion to this effect: That if the Jews should found a university in Jerusalem to foster Jewish ideals and should find that the Arabs were crowding into that university in such large numbers as to endanger those ideals, the Jews might want to exclude or limit those Arabs, and so forth and so on. How we do "reason," or "ratioeinate," as Prof. Robinson might say, when we have a prejudice to defend! There is no parallel whatever between this hypothetical university "for Jewish ideals" in Jerusalem and Harvard University, which is not for any particular religion or ideals but for the advancement of science and knowledge. Besides the weakening effect of Mr. Brisbane's "if," his argument has the further illogicality that he seeks to confound the idea of a university for special religious or racial purposes with the idea of a great world university, like Harvard or Oxford, which pretends to be for the general purpose of advancing civilization and learning. He need not have gone in mind to Jerusalem; he might have stayed right here in America and said truly: "If the Methodists should found an institution to teach Methodism, they would not want Baptists to take possession of it. Of course, they would not, for this would be an institution not to teach science and art but "Methodism." But how would the Methodists seek to maintain the ascendancy of their ideals in such an institution? Not by excluding Baptists as students, but by keeping Methodists as teachers and officers. So far as the student body was concerned, the more Baptists, the better, for they would be more in need of learning "Methodism." And we risk the assertion that a Jewish university in Jerusalem to teach "Jewish ideals," could not reasonably object to teaching those ideals to as many Arabs as cared to come and learn them along with the Jewish students and under the instruction of Jewish authorities and teachers." But is Harvard a racial or religion (note, we do not say religious)—a racial or religion institution? We thought it was an American institution and a world-university. An American Jew should not be discriminated against, certainly not in the student-ship, of such a university. There is no such thing as a Jewish algebra or a Gentile algebra; no such thing as a Jewish chemistry and a Gentile chemistry. There is such a thing as a Jewish religion, and there is a whole multitude of Gentile religions. If any one of these is to be taught to the exclusion of the others, the let Harvard, of course, LOOK OUT FOR ITS TEACHING FORCE, but admit any students from any source—and especially the Jews, who would be more in need of Gentile instruction MARINES TO STAY IN HAITI Now we have it. Uncle Sam will remain in Haiti ruling with iron hand and as many shot and shell as may be necessary to maintain "law and order" for the Haitians who are "not capable of self-government." This, is the substance of the report of the McCormick Committee whose visit to the little country was ordered after the embarrassing reports of American practices there had been laid before the United States Senate. Senator McCormick of Illinois is the leading spirit back of the report, and the titular head of the committee. As was expected, the committee found that the reports of barbarities committed by American Marines were very much—very much—overdrawn. It was admitted, however, that there were a few cases of undue cruelty, and "few" Haitians killed without justification. But as extenuating circumstances, it is reported that the killings were due rather to the methods of fighting than to a wilful and deliberate intent on the part of the Marines. Taken as a whole, the report justifies Uncle Sam in his past actions, and recommends that he continue in the future to regulate the little island, lest there be some violation of the Monroe Doctrine. Poor Monroe! Say what we will about the occupation, there is strong opinion against the heavy hand of Uncle Sam in the Haitian fritory. Leopold once ruffed in the Congo, but Belgium more than paid for every atrocity and murder. The Germans exacted an eye for an eye and for every piece of ivory taken by Leopold from the Congo people, the Germans took a human life in their mad march toward France. The law of compensation is not dead. If there is just cause for our occupation of Haiti, then let us rule like Americans, and not like blood-thirsty pirates seeking advantage of a helpless people. This country has nothing to gain by abusing her power over the Haitians. She has everything to gain if she can help the people to a speedy self-government. This done Uncle Sam should move out immediately. The Pittsburgh Courier. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN BEAUTY TALKS Old dears, I write this beneath the shade of the famed trees of Chicago University campus. Summer school is on, in all it's grind, and hundreds of strange students, of every age, color and description hurry by. I am interested chiefly in the ladies (God bless 'em!), because sizing them up helps me get "local color" for these chats with you. And since I am going to talk about hair, every head that has passed has interested me. Much to my disappointment, some of the coiffures are all covered up, but thank Heavens, there are plenty bare heads left! By the way, some independent young co-ed has revived the Japanese umbrella style, and the bareheads, under the gaily colored paper shades, grow more numerous each day. There are many "bobs" and some of them are to be envied, while others arouse pity, and of others—well, the least I can say is "How do they get like that?" For the sake of the innocent bystander, if you have any idea of bobbing, first dope out that the fellow who spoke of the "fitness of things" meant. The ill-advised clipping your crowning glory may mean that you'll look like a caricature instead of the fair young thing you hoped to be mistaken for. And no short, be sure it looks like hair, and not mattress stuffing or wet rope or tobacco strippings or some of the things I've seen hair resemble. Of course, you keep it clean, but not too clean, for there is such a thing as being too clean, you know. And you brush it, but you don't tear the scalp up in your zeal, do you? And you do not torture it by twisting it too tight, do you? And, oh please, I entreat you, to avoid excessive use of oil! An English student was asking me about a girl on the campus who had impressed him by her beauty. He gave a glowing description of her, enthusing about her magnetic vitality, etc., but when he got past her smooth brown skin and her lambent eyes, he stopped, flushed and then because we have no terrors for each other, said sadly, "But she has fried hair!" Instantly I knew of whom he spoke. She is good looking and no end jolly, but every time I have seen her I could visualize red hot irons, a big bottle of oil and a perspiring, good-natured operator who gossiped incessantly as she "fried" the hair. I knew she had never been in a NILE QUEEN shop, or it would never have looked like that. I hope she reads this, and acts accordingly. We Nile Queens are well acquainted with the irons, but not as they use them in the average "beauty parlour." I've seen such places called, "Mme. This or Mme. That's System," when any of them and all of them have the same formula—"profuse petroleum, the gas turned high, and a choice bit of scandal." Oh you poor hair! Don't go in for elaborate hair dress, for it isn't being done in the best circles anymore. The only persons who attempt to look like the wax figure in the window of Mme. "Culturists," usually succeed, to the detriment of their hair, study your features and act accordingly. If you will permit me to commit something of a pun, "To thy own face be true and thou canst not be a pain to any man." Selah! A NILE QUEEN ..BRIEFS. (Associated Negro Press) Houston, Texas, July 7.—E. H. Sterrett, a well-known white, went to his home last Tuesday afternoon and found a Negro boy making himself comfortable and very much at ease. He fled at the approach of Mr. Sterrett, but was caught by that gentleman after a merry chase and given over to the police who entered a charge of burglary against the lad. Brownsville, Texas, July 7.—The Rio Grande River floods are causing much loss of property and a great deal of suffering among the colored people in this section of the State.

EE EEE Dempsey Agrees to Box Wills in a Titular Bout Page 4 Heavyweight Title-Holder Final- ly Agrees to Box Harry Wills, the “Black Panther,” in Battle for World Championship Hon- ors,—Bout can Hardly be Held Before 1923, Advises Tex Rickard when asked Concern: ing Fight. (Associated Negro Press) Se P te emp ee New York City, New York, July 7. —Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham- pion has finally agreed to meet Harry Wills, the “Black Panther,” in bat- tle for the title “champion of the world.” His acknowledgement of Wills’ challenge has been announced by the New York State boxing Com- mission. Wills posted $2,500 some- time ago for a mateh and the com. mission issued a proclamation, that, unless Dempsey, before July 10, ac- cepted under reasonable conditions, his title would be forfeited as far as New York State boxing territory is involved. In accepting the challenge, Demp- sey, through his manager, Jack Kearns, requested that a conferencé between the principals be held soon. No date for this conference was ’men- tioned in the statement issued by the boxing commission, but it is under- stood the managers of the two heavy- weights will meet and arrange the necessary preliminary deals within the next ten days. Manager Mullins, speaking for Wills, said that he desired a bout before fall, but such appeared im. probable. Tex Rickard, the promo- ter from whom, it is understood, both heavyweights expect an offer, stated emphatically that he would not be interested in a contest before next summer. “St is entirely too late,” he said, “to attempt to stage a bout of this caliber this year. “In order to meet the terms of Dempsey and Wills it would be nec- essary to hold a mateh in the open air and make numerous arrange- ments for handling a huge crowd of spectators. As a result of my exper- jences in the Johnson-Jeffries, Demp- sey-Willard, and Dempsey-Carpen- tier bouts, I know it would require fully six months properly to prepare the arena and boxers for this con- test. Issue Forced on Commission. A number of circumstances are said to have been contributed to fore- ing the fight to an issue. The New York State boxing commission has been none too friendly toward col- ored boxers and has prohibited mix- ed matehes, thus giving colored box. ers no chance against the titles or big purses battled for by the white boys. But a hard political battle is in sight and it is rumored that the political wise-heads advised the box- ing commission to be a bit more lib. eral in its attitude. Governor Miller stated that the entire matter was in the boxing commission’s hands, and that he had no objection of his own to mixed matehes. Putting the bout off for a year ha: its disadvantages many followers o the game feel. First Wills, whom most colored experts feel is hardl; a match for Dempsey because of the former's far greater age, will be stil older. Second, opportunity will b given for politicians to switch thei positions. In the meantime, the at tention of the sporting world will b« on Harry Wills, the modest gentle manly fighter who is to have hi chance for a place in the sun, Somehody Wuz Sayin’ that— Lonzo Few has made some changes in reghrd to the way his head is to look from now on. According to the recent influx of flappers and cake-eaters one would think St. Paul was a real town. Now that the weddings are over, oh, such a relief—finaneially. The most popular outdoor sport this season is walking up and down the gang plank to and from the Steamer Red Wing and Barge Mani- tou. Fairness, service, courtesy and in- tegrity, are the four vital factors in all businesses—large or small. Criticism like charity should begin at home. HARRY WILLS WILLS WINS TECHNICAL KAYO OVER JEFF CLARK (Associates Negro ress) Trenton, N. J., July 8.—Harry Wills won from Jeff Clark (white) the Joplin, Missouri, heavyweight, on a technical foul. Clark, who is a vet- eran of the ring lasted only one round with Wills, who knocked him down four times in the first round.

Wills ‘expressed the hope that the Dempsey ae be held this fall.

And Mr. Schleck thinks the same way thousands of other fight fans are thinking through-out the country. The public wants a Wills-Dempsey bout. CLUB FEDERATION HOLDS SUCCESSFUL SESSION AVORURGEM.
