MEXICO SENDS PROTEST TO U.S. VOL. I. NO. 31 MEX Mina, Historical Minn. Historica Saint Paul, Minn. ARKANSAS K. OF P. MEET IN MAMMOTH ANNUALCONVENTION Henry Avant is Re-elected Grand Chancellor—F. D. Morris Re-elected G. K. R. S. G. K. R. S. COMMENDED BY INSURANCE COMMISSIONER Ark. Jurisdiction Is Third Largest in U. S. With Over $19,-000 Members. (Associated Negro Press) Pine Bluff, Ark., Aug. 18—The forty-fifth annual session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, jurisdiction of Arkansas, was held at Dranh Normal College here last week. Henry Avant was re-elected Grand Chancellor. Fred D. Morris, who delivered an eloquent address and rendered an excellent report of his office, was re-elected to the office of Grand Keeper of Records and Seal for the sixth consecutive time. Mr. Theo. Bond of Madison was also re-elected Grand Master of Exchequer, but Mr. N. W. Shelton, who has been Grand Attorney for a number of years was decisively defeated for that office by Mr. J. R. Booker, one of the youngest and most successful attorneys in the southwest. Much credit for the remarkable growth of the Order in this state is attributed to the business like methods and accurate accounts of F. D. Morris, G. K. R. S. Theo. Bond and Fred D. Morris were elected Supreme Representatives for the Grand jurisdiction of Arkansas to the Supreme Lodge which meets in New York, in 1923. Much interest has centered about the Pythians of Arkansas because an effort was made by the Insurance Commissioners several months ago to place the order in the hands of Receivers, but the order won in the Circuit court of Pulaski County and the case was appealed by the Commissioners to the Supreme Court of Arkansas, where it is now pending. The suit was filed against the K. of P. because of the alleged disappearance of records in the office of the G. K. R. S. and the contributing of funds to the Elaine riot prisoners. Two months prior to the lawsuit the Insurance Commissioners had made an exhaustive investigation of the office and books of the G. K. R. S. and rendered a very commendable report with respect to this particular office. It was then only after the report made by the Commissioners that the members who were dissatisfied with certain officers carried the order in court and endeavored to introduce such evidence as might reflect on the integrity of some officers of the order. The jurisdiction of Arkansas is the Third largest jurisdiction in the country, having more than nineteen thousand members, with assets totaling more than 200,000 dollars. More than a quarter of a million dollars pass through the hands of the G. K. R. S., yearly and not once in the past five years has it been shown that there were any irregularities in the conduct of this office. No other jurisdiction in this country has as one of its chief officers a person who is as young as Fred D. Morris and it will be good news to his class-mates and friends who were in Howard University with him from 1907 to 1910 to know of his phenomenal success in the business world. LARGE NEW GOLD FIELD FOUND IN SOUTH AFRICA (Asociatd Negro Press) London, Aug. 18—Dispatches from South Africa report the discovery of a new gold belt in the Transaval stretching from Bechuanaland to Nylatroom. Receipt of valuable specimens from a store-keeper at a lonely post by the assay office was followed by a movement of miners to the new field. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN C. W. Wigington Resigns From Building Department THE NEW YORK TIMES CLARENCE W. WIGINGTON CLARENCE W. WIGINGTON Ford For President; All Rumors Denied Ford For President; All Rumors Denied Virginia Republicans Deny That They Endorsed Henry Ford For U. S. President. (Asociatd Negro Press) Richmond, Va., Aug. 18.—A recent dispatch sent from this city stated that the Negroes of Virginia had endorsed Henry Ford for president. H. H. Price, secretary of the colored republican organization and president of the Richmond Business League, denies the statement in a letter to "Forward", the famous Jewish publication. Mr. Price writes: "My attention has been called to an article which appeared in your issue of July 29, 1922, under the caption: "In The Jewish World," in reference to a report from Richmond, Va., that the Negroes of Virginia have endorsed Henry Ford for President. It is true that such a report appeared in a Richmond newspaper. As secretary of the colored republican organization in this State, I wish to state neither the Negroes of Richmond nor the Negroes of this State have endorsed Henry Ford for President. It was simply an attempt of half a dozen Negroes of this city to get a little cheap newspaper advertising and political notice. The overwhelming sentiment of the Negroes is for an independent organization, and to cease worshipping political parties, and this sentiment is making inroads into other sections of the country. Least of all would the Negroes of Virginia, nor of any other State be so foolish as to endorse or support any man for office who attempts to gain his political aspirations by appealing to race prejudice. Any report to the contrary is misleading and should not be taken seriously." STABBING AFFRAY ENDS IN KILLING IN CHICAGO (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 18—In a stabbing affray here, Charles Pine, 28 years old, colored chaffuer, was killed and his assailant, Robert Porter, also colored, was seriously wounded.

Copyright THE CUMIC Entering Private Practice Given As Reason for Resigning, Says Mr. Wigington. Mr. Clarence W. Wigington, the oldest senior architect, in point of service, in the Department of Public Buildings, St. Paul, tendered his resignation to Commissioner Clancy last week and it became effective August 16th. Concerning his resignation, Mr. Wigington states that he resigned to enter the private practice of architecture. He will operate under the firm name of "The Complete Service Co." architects and engineers. Mr. Wigington has achieved great success in his profession; besides the vast numbers of beautiful structures he planned while in the employ of the city, he had at present more than $200,000 worth of contracts under his control. Among the largest and most notable of these is the drawing of plans for St. James A. M. E. church, Dale street and West Central Avenue. Work on this church was started last Saturday. Prof. Kerlin Takes Position in Penn. Exponent of Justice To Negroes Accepts Good Position In State Normal School. New York, N. Y., Aug. 18—Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, whose open letter of protest addressed to the governor of Arkansas against the execution of the twelve colored men convicted with the Phillips County riots of October 1919, led to his dismissal from the Virginia Military Institute, has recently accepted the headship of the Department of English at the State Normal School at West Chester, Pa. This information is contained in a letter from Prof. Kerlin to the N. A. A. C. P. The acquisition of this new and better position in a state in which scholarship and honesty are more highly regarded than Virginia is a step on which Mr. Kerlin is being heartily congratulated. Mrs Wilson Begerson and Miss Maude Lewis of Nashville, Tenn., are the guests of Mrs. Bailey, 3845 4th Ave. So. Mrs. Sophia A. Parker, 350 N. Dale street, will leave soon to visit friends and relatives in St. Louis and Chicago. NEGRO NOMINATED FOR HIGH OFFICE AT MO. ELECTION Voters Nominate Attorney Clark For Justice of Peace—Job Worth $5,000 a Year. HIGHEST NOMINATION OF NEGRO IN MISSOURI Although Tied With White Opponent, Clark's Election Is Assured in Nov. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 18—The recent primary saw a Negro nominated for the highest elective office yet attained by one of the race in this state, when Attorney Crittenden Clark was nominated for Justice of the Peace, a place worth close to $5,000 annually to a successful candidate. Along with Clark in this 4th district was Joseph L. Schuler, white, he and Clark each received 182 votes, defeating their two white opponents, August Gisler, who got 1,367, Harry McChestney, 1387 and Ely H. Taylor, colored $87. As the district is predominatingly colored, and the city Republican, his election assured. In the Fourth Constabulary District, Charley Turpin, one of the incumbants, was defeated. L. Harrison, colored, was nominated with 1704 votes, also Robert E. Walker, white, with 1181; Turpin received 1142, while Floyd Bush, white, the other incumbent, got only 781. Walthall M. Moore, who bears the distinction of being the first Negro to serve in the Legislature, was renominated from the Third district, leading a field of eight candidates with a vote of 8.948. Information on the standing of two colored candidates, Ira Dorsey for Constable, and Mr. C. M. Powell for Committeemen from the Sixth Ward was not available at this writing. CONGRESSMAN DYER WINS RE-NOMINATION IN MO St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 18—Congressman L. C. Dyer, author and champion of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was re-nominated for Congress from the Twelfth District in the recent primary by a vote of 9,716 to 762 for Bolson, his opponent. In the general election in November he will be opposed by David D. Israel, aocrat. Dyer's district is predominately Republican and the greater per cent of the vote is Negro. His election in November is assured. Pickens Derides Garvey's "Honest Intentions" Plan (Asociated Negro Press) New York, Aug. 18—"We gave Garvey the benefit of all doubts, and credit for honest intentions. We were deceived. But nothing can deceive always, and it is, perhaps, best always to think good and let evil prove itself. Marcus Garvey has proven himself," said William Pickens in an interview today. According to Garvey the twelve or fifteen million colored people in America have no rights which any white criminal is bound to respect. This is a blacker statement that the "Dred Scott Decision" of sixty-five years ago. Garvey thinks the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow Cars, disfranchisement, and all other disadvantages of color in the United States are right and just. He forgot to mention lynching but he made up for it by attacking those who fought for the anti-lynching bill, and especially does he think that the Negro editors, who did such valiant service for this bill, are "ignorant" and "illiterate." He thinks that the only place where the Negro can be happy and free is Africa, where the American Negro, as a whole group, will never go. He ought to offer them a home in Heaven. They have much better chances to go there. Local Business League Reorganizes Organization Enters Temporary Status until next Meeting August 31. After what may be termed a rath er stormy farcelike session, local business men at a meeting held Thursday night at Little-Pligrim-on-the-Hill decided on re-organizing the local branch of the National Negro Business League, disbanding the old organization and setting up a new temporary organization. O. Howell, proprietor of the Uptown Sanitary Shop, was elected temporary chairman of the league succeeding Thomas R. Morgan. Although the election of officers was set aside for the next meeting of the league, the new organization which is composed of only ten members at the present time, looks like it means business. Difference of opinion was general during the first part of the meeting until Mr. Howell took the chair when wildfire discussion was done away with and some definite action taken. The next meeting of the league will be held at Little-Pilgrim-on-the-Hill Thursday evening August 31 to which every person in business in St. Paul is invited to be present. Members of the old organization are especially urged to attend. At this meeting an election of officers will take place, also other action to put the league in a position to go to work. Inactivity of the old organization for the past six months was the principle reason for re-organizing. OPEN NEW UNDERTAKING BUSINESS IN MILL CITY What may be considered as one of the most modern and best equipped undertaking establishments owned by a race member west of Chicago has been opened by Mr. Wm. Squire Neal at 502 E. 24th St. The chapel which has a seating capacity of nearly 200, the waiting room and office, all newly decorated and neatly furnished, are on the first floor, while the embalming and work rooms are on another floor. Mr. Neal recently purchased the business of O. A. Lawrence, who conducted an undertaking business for seventeen years. Mr. Neal is young, progressive and efficient, and his advent into the Mill City field may be considered as a real asset to the community.

Gopher 105 Delegate At Elk's Convention JOHN B. BROWN Attorney J. L. Ervin Leaves For Elk's Meeting in Newark Attorney J. Louis Ervin left Friday night for Newark, N. J., to attend the Grand Lodge Convention of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World as a detach from Gopher Lodge No. 105. The convention will be in session from August 21 to 25. Plans have been in the making for some time to bring the Grand Lodge to St. Paul for the 1923 session and Mr. Ervin left with instructions to do his best in that direction. Mr. Ervin carried with him a personal letter from Governor Preus to the Grand Exalted Ruler, inviting the Elks to Minnesota and St. Paul for their 1923 session. On July 24, 1922 the City Council of St. Paul passed a special ordinance inviting the Elks to St. Paul. Mr. Ervin carried a copy of these resolutions and also a letter from Mayor Nelson to the Grand Exalted Ruler, inviting the Elks to St. Paul. Although it was the original plan to send more delegates to the convention, Mr. Ervin was finally singled out to attend the meeting of the Elks in Newark. Mrs. Natalie Johnson will represent Como Temple No. 128 at the Elks Convention. Mr. Talmadge Carey went as a delegate from Ames Lodge No. 106 and Mrs. Nellie McCullough and Mrs. Crowder went as representatives from Minnehaha Temple No. 129.

It is understood that proper representations have been made to the Governor of Illinois, and that when the Illinois authorities have completed their investigations a further reply will be made to the Mexican government. The Mexican protest is based on two different phases of evidence. The first is the formal acknowledgement of the Governor of Illinois that two Mexicans were killed during the massacre at Herrin and others beaten up. The second embraces depositions from the Resendiz brothers, Mexican citizens, who have been undergoing treatment in Kansas City for injuries received at the hands of a mob. In their depositions the brothers state that they set out from Chicago in company with other Mexicans in search of work. They were traveling in a local train. About a day and a half out of Chicago, the train stopped and the four Mexicans got down and entered the station restaurant. While eating they were set upon by a mob. The Resendiz brothers escaped, but the other two were left behind and were not seen afterwards by them.

MOB SEARCHES JAIL BUT FAILS TO FIND VICTIM (Asociatid Negro Press) Vinita, Okla., Aug. 18—Members of a mob bent on lynching Elias Ridge, a young Negro, kept vigil around the court house today undaunted by the announcement that he had been spirited away. Ridge is alleged to have confessed to killing Mrs. George Adair, 30 years old, at her home near Pensacola. Mrs. Adair was stabbed and beaten to death in the presence of her two children. Armed deputies, who had been holding off the mob since Tuesday invited the mob to select a committee to search the courthouse. A committee of five made a search and announced no success.

Fred Jamison, also one of the leaders of organization was brought into the case as a witness for the defense. Anyway, after the smoke had cleared away, the judge said 90 days or $100 fine. To go back, the first time we heard of these would-be leaders and politicians was through the columns of A.

After having met both or them we are still at a loss to discover the truth of Mr. Montgomery's assertions. On the other hand, a statement to the contrary would be more correct. If people who peddle moonshine and stage weekly "drags" are to lead us or be recognized as leaders in our struggle for political power we see an underlying danger. Jamison and few of his associates, if any, are not fit to lead anybody or anything to say little of quailifications to lead voters when it comes to putting the right men in office. We should recognize and endorse only those leaders and political organizations whose characters are not so doubtful and whose purpose not quite so questionable as Mrs. Jamison and the organization which she represents.

This ought to convince anybody that nothing will be done by local authorities and "states' rights" to protect black men against lynching in Georgia. And as long as lynching is tolerated by the nation in Georgia, it can be expected by the nation in all of its other parts. "Lynch him," is the cry raised now in many a northern city, as soon as something nappens to arouse the ire of the crowd. And yet, the southern senators pretend to think that lynching is only their business. Nothing but a federal law, vigorously enforced by a court and a jury not in local sympathy with the criminals, can save this country from this fascinating decline into anarchy. As to colored people, they must expect their lot to be all one all over the country—that either Mississippi must become like Massachusetts or Massachusetts will become like Mississippi. Even the northern newspapers are more and more coying the southern style of presenting "Negro" crime; in the same issue of a New York paper we note that "a burly Negro" stabs a policeman, and that a "Negro workman shoots a striker," and that both are threatened with "lynching," and that a white man (the paper does NOT say white, however, sold his boy to a "Negro" and only in the last lines of the fine print do we learn that the "Negro" treated the boy better than his father treated him. And we also learn between the lines that there is no proof of the sale, except a seven-year-old-childs understanding of the transaction, whatever it was. But it is so singular and spectacular that a "Negro" bought a "white" person—even it the whites did buy one hundred million Negroes. But Herrin is the proof, if needed, that white and black will be involved in whatever state of civilization we induce here. We will either all be subject to lynching or none of us will. We cannot separate the destiny of these black humans from that of the rest of the group.

When men look facts squarely in the face and realize what God meant when he said multiply and replenish the earth, we will know more clearly what a great task we face in subduing the earth and making it better and a more comfortable place for us and our families to live in. This will test soundness of our reasoning and our future conduct, and forces us to ask ourselves this question. Does the churches, lodges, and schools to which we give our money, energy and time help or hinder us in the race of life? If they neip us then they are doing a good work, and should be supported, but if they hinder us then they are bad and should not receive more support from us, or the masses of our people. The only way we may materially increase the efficiency of our people in this land of opportunities is to be on the job daily, calling attention to waste of time, money and energy in supporting inactive bodies, or at least bodies that do not hit when hits count. The day is at hand when our churches, lodges and schools must select as leaders those who admit that these old school orders have done well, but that the new order of things calls for more than The Grand Parade and the speecon on a beautiful day after death. In short the new man will soon demand that we get together and get somewhere and build more factories and stores instead of churches, lodges and schools. Back to the farm instead or forward to State Street will soon be the nation's cry, then we will find nature helping to make us men. Then we will see the fake side of old ways. Then, and not until then will the God of Hope be our God, and we His people. Page 2 BEAUTY TALKS (Associated Negro Press) My friends: I'll return to the interrupted tenor of my thoughts, on the skin and it's treatment, if you'll permit me. And, just to see how many yells of protest it will arouse from our old-fashioned aunt, "I'll say, 'Let's everybody have a facial massage today.'" Yow! listen at them! It's the old, old fallacious statement. "Massaging ruins the face. Look at me, I've never had my face massaged and there is nothing wrong with it except the natural effects of age, is there?" That's just it, the natural effects of age. And there wouldn't be any such effects, if she had started massaging when she was along with the girls. A number of people cherish the erroneous idea that massaging is of comparatively recent origin, but it is as old as the hills, as the etymology of the world indicates. We have derived "massage" for the French "masser" which in turn came from the Greek "massein" meaning to knead. Not only in Greece and Rome, but in the cultured Egypt, Persia, Syria Indian, and China the art flourished and I have often suspected that the about in those countries in the sacred marvelous cures of invalids we hear annals, supposedly effected by the "gentle laying on of hands," was simply the result of a vigorous body massage by the strong-armed devotees, which gave new life to the atrophied muscles. Certainly we are born with a tendency to enjoy this science (for it has been developed into such) for when baby brother falls down, the real alleviator and comfort giver is to have us rub his "hurt spot" vigorously. When one has a headache how good it feels to have soft firm fingers pressing the pain away, rubbing and smoothing out the painful wrinkles. The brisk run with the towel following the bath is two thirds of the pleasure connected therewith. Oh it's a grand and glorious feeling. The professional massuuse is a rest doctor, for she knows the muscle and their position and the direction in which their fibres extend, a know-treatment beneficial. She knows which direction the movement must take to create or to reduce flesh. But we can learn the simplest part of the trade and help ourselves at home. Severe rubbing and rolling is a good way to reduce and dissolve fatty tissues. But to plumpen the face and to remove wrinkles, be gentle, rubbing the skin with a gentle rotary motion, which is real kneading. And don't massage oftener than every 24 hours, if so often, and then only for 15 or 20 minutes. Always be sure that your face is perfectly clean, having been cleansed with warm water, and a pure castile soap. Use towels wrung out of hot water to soften the skin before beginning. To avoid bruising or irritating the skin, use a good skin food, but avoid preparations with lard, tallow, or suet, as their foundation. You know what animal fat does to the skin to make the hairs sprout, just like weeds after a rain. Glycerin dries the skin rapidly and the result will be a harsh dry surface, a bit darker and yellow, and these folks who are in the habit of mixing vaseline with these greasy bleach preparations on the market, can have but one result—a general unhappiness—after the mixture has been applied often enough and rubbed in thorough often enough. Oh my dears, DON'T! After the massage, a cloth wet in ice water will close the pores and chill the face nicely bringing the color we so ardently desire. Some folks even rub gently with bits of ice. And we all feel so invigorated and so fresh and our skin looks so good, freed from the impurities it had vainly tried to throw off, and the muscles are so "snappy" and full of pep that you can throw back your head and laugh wholeheartedly and abandonely just to know that you are on the road to Beauty, and to being a real NILE QUEEN BEAUTY Dr. and Mrs. Bert Anderson and little son of Chicago, accompanied by their maid, who have been motoring through the provinces of Canada this summer, arrived in the city last week and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Cage, 495 Fuller Ave. A very beautiful house wedding was solemnized on last Thursday evening when Miss Corrie Sloan of Minneapolis became the bride of Mr. Thomas Brown, 871 St. Anthony, at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. Le Roy Hall acted as best man and Miss Harriet Yoong was bridesmaid. Only the family and friends were present but the bride was the recipient of many beautiful gifts. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Something to Think About BY F. A. WALKER TURNING CORNERS THE very ease and speed with which you rush ahead, so agreeable while the road is smooth and clear, make it difficult sometimes to slow down and turn the corners in safety. A straight course is easy to follow, but a devious way is hard and calls for all your strength and finer judgment in spite of your vaunted skill. A few trifling words, a slip of the foot, a shifting of the eye or a broken troth and you are destitute of courage, in a perilous position from which it may take years to extricate yourself. Friendships are irrevocably lost at the corners where you must turn to determine your future; where you find that you must curtail expenses and live a simpler life with less pleasure and more work. Turning corners dampens the spirits of high-strung men and women and often narrows their views to so great an extent that they become mere corner loungers, of no use to themselves or to the community in which they exist. The sunlight vistas of life have been darkened by the gathering clouds of adversity in which they unexpectedly plunged as they turned a sharp corner in an unfamiliar territory. Like you, these victims of misfortune were comfortable and happy in the heyday of prosperity. And like thousands of others, they miscalculated their strength and were hastily swept off their feet, bruised and malmed as they found themselves bereft of power and humbled in pride. In an atmosphere that stifles their ambition and fills their souls with remorse, they are like frightened children lost in the dark, afraid of the shadows and unable to move. Yesterday they would have laughed at the plight of a friend who made an unfortunate turn at the corner; today, laughter and they are not on speaking terms. Only the brave and true and merciful can hope to turn the corners on life's highway in security. And if you will look into the lives of such persons you will find that they were early taught at a good mother's knee to put aside greed and selfishness, to call men brothers, to help the poor, to be charitable to the fallen, and to practice in their dealings with others the golden rule, that the corners might be turned without calamity, even in the purpling twilight. (® by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) 0 ``` THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "CLOTH" BACK in the days when the original Teutonic race roamed the forests of northeastern Europe—centuries before it migrated north, west and south to split up into the Scandinavians, the Anglo-Saxons and the modern Germanic races—these tribes had a word which they pronounced as though it were spelled klar-earth, though they spoke it more rapidly and almost as a single syllable. If we lengthen the vowel sound just a trifle, making it "aw," we will have the word "cloth" used by millions of people today with reference to their garments and the materials used for many other purposes. Those who are expert in the study of languages and the changes which occur in the transition of centuries have not been able to trace this word any farther than the forests of northeastern Europe. But they incline to the belief that it was derived from a still more ancient word-root of the ancient Teutonic language—kll, meaning to stick or cling. "Cloth," therefore, literally means something which sticks or clings, either together or to the wearer and probably made its way into the language in contradistinction to the clothing of hides which are hard and far from clinging.

E. Page. This is in accordance with a previous announcement of the Board of Curators. This contract was awarded to a St. Louis firm under a bid of $99,789. Repairs will be made to the extent of 20,000 on the present dormitory. The pres- tence structure is quite a firetrap, the wiring needing attention badly. The building needs paint and enough re- pares to easily use up all the fund. MINNEAPOLIS NEWS Miss Edna Pinckney, 5045 5th Ave. So., is visiting her home in Philadelphia and other points in the East.
