PAIR MEETS DEATH FIGTHING VOL. I. NO. 33 WORLD WAR VETS DON'T BAR NEGRO, SAYS STATEMENT Jack Bradon, President of World War Vets, Invites Negroes to Join Organization CLAIMS ORDER HAS NO RACE HATRED FEELING Local Branch To Give Picnic At Forest Park, September 10; All Veterans Invited. Invitations to all Negroes who served with the American forces in the World war to join the World War Veterans is proof that race discrimination has no part in the program of the veterans, according to Jack Bradon, national president of the organization. The invitation was conveyed in a letter sent by Mr. Bradon to Secretary Johnson of the American Association for the Advancement or the Colored Race. Mr. Bradon's letter reads in part: "The discrimination manifested by some ex-service men's organizations toward colored ex-service men undoubtedly has come to your attention. To ward off confusion as to the stand of the World War Veterans on this question, I ask that your organization convey to colored former service men the greetings of the veterans and to inform them that they at all times will be received into full membership in the World War Veterans and will be accorded the same consideration shown other members of the organization regardless of color race and creed. Picnic Sept. 10 Proceeds of the World War Veteran's picnic to be held at Forest Park, Sunday, September 1 will go toward relief of unemployed former service men next winter and toward defraying expenses of recent referendums. Final arrangements for the picnic have been made and tickets placed on sale, with admission fixed at 25 cents. A program of varied interest will include vaudeville attractions, addresses, dancing, a concert by the Minneapolis Police band and a wrestling match between John D. Albrecht and Joe Edwards, Minneapolis and Chicago police department champions. The athletes will wrestle for a $250 purse. The Sinclair family, assisted by the Blake twins of Hopkins, will stage a novelty Scotch act. Lynch Law Must Go HighMasonResolve Urged Passage of Dyer Bill if U. S. Is to Protect Its Honor and Respect Abroad. New oYrk, Sept. 1—At the International conference of the Grand Masters, Past Grand Masters, Grand Secretaries, etc., Prince Hall Masons of the United States representing some 150,000 Masons, at their meeting in Washington, D. C., on August 8, passed strong resolutions calling on the United States Senate to pass without delay the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill to "corect certain abuses and barbarous treatment meted out to the citizens of this Republic", according to an announcement made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. The resolutions called upon the Senate to take this step not only to end the disgrace of mob violence but to remove this blot from the name of America, because "in foreign countries the belief is common the United States government is indifferent to punish the evil doers and we regret that the reports on lynching will tend to lower the respect and esteem which the nation enjoys." Mrs. Herman Cotton, 670 W. Central avenue, left last week for Chicago for a brief vacation. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Dr. Moton Believes That Negro Criminals Have Easier Access to New Columnthan Negro Leaders Editors in Discussing Matter Find That the Reading Public Has Not Accepted the Negro as News Except Under Crime or Humorous Circumstances—Publicity of Negro Advancement Has been Curtailed. By Albon L. Holsey Secretary to the Principal, Tuskegee Institute. Five newspaper men of varying experiences sat down together to discuss the question of giving the American reading public through the regular channels, certain facts showing the progress and forward strides of the Negro race. Two of these men were Negroes and the others were friends of the race. published news of Negro achievement in his paper, because of his persons interest in the welfare of the Negro race. "I invariably receive letters of protest from our readers," said the editor, "when something of this son has appeared in our columns, so have been led to believe that the Negro is not generally accepted as news No group ever came together with more hope and none was more sincere and earnest in its desire to render real service. Although these men have written continuously concerning the race problem, not one of them ever wrote an unkind or an embittered line; and not one had ever knowingly violated any of the ethical standards of newspaper writing. And yet, as these men unfolded their several experiences, it was plainly seen that each had somehow run into the same "blind alley"—that the great reading mass of America is not interested in the Negro except as a criminal. One member of the group related a conversation he had with the editor of a Southern daily paper in which the editor said that he frequently Returns From Medical Convention at Capitol [Name] Dr. Valdo Turner Member of the Executive Committee and Vice-President from Minnesota of the National Medical Association which held its annual convention in Washington, D.C., last week.

ManReceives $25 For"Death Dive" Into Mississippi ManReceives $25 For"Death Dive" Into Mississippi Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 1—Three thousand people paid less than a penny aplice to see Edward Powell, a one-legged man, stage a "death dive" from the Harahan bridge into the Mississippi river 110 feet below last Sunday afternoon. Powell drowned before aid could reach him. According to reports Powell announced early last week that he would make the dive on Sunday, but would proceed the performance with a collection which he intended to use to buy himself an artificial limb. This announcement appealed strongly to the sympathies of the people and a large multitude gathered to see Powell perform the feat. The collection brought only $25.01, but Powell was game and stated that he was a man of his word, and went through the exhibition which ended fatally. If it's news, we print it. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1922. published news of Negro achievement in his paper, because of his personal interest in the welfare of the Negro race. "I invariably receive letters of protest from our readers," said the editor, "when something of this sort has appeared in our columns, so I have been led to believe that the Negro is not generally accepted as news, except in crime." "After all," continued this same editor, "newspapers must have subscribers to enable them to run, and we must either please the majority of our subscribers or close up our shop. So far as I am personally concerned, I am willing to give our readers as much of the news about successful Negroes as they will stand, but in the last analysis, they must be the final judge." Another of this group said that in all of his experiences with reporters, editors and desk men, covering a period of fourteen years, the average Negroes known by them was three and that in most cases these were only vaguely known. He also found that fe of these news gatherers knew the local Negroes of standing in their communities, except in rare instances. Negro Is Not News. Negro is Not News. Still another stated that he had been reliably informed that one of the moving picture concerns which issues, at regular intervals, films of current news, has an unwritten law in its office that the Negro is not news except in crime or in buffoonery such as watermelon eating contests. He further said that the records of this office showed that when the Negro had been featured in any other way than indicated above, frequently exhibitors had themselves deleted that part of the film because their audiences were not interested. At no time in the conference of these five men was there one word of denunciation uttered. They were, rather, depressed, and one recalled the utterance of Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, who said, in addressing a group of white newspaper men recently, that it was an unfortunate situation in America that a Negro criminal had easier access to the newspaper columns than the presidents of any of the fifty or more Negro banks. With enlarged opportunities for educational advancement in the South the Negro is rapidly becoming a reading and thinking citizen and he is quite willing to stand on his record as a useful American if the reading public will study both sides of the picture and accordingly measure its judgment.

Firemen who responded to the aiarm were suspicious. The house and furnishings were damaged to the extent of $350. Barnett would give no reason for his peculiar actions. GRAND JURY IN GEORGIA INDICTS FIVE LYNCHERS Five Prominent Whites Indicted For Lynching John Glover In Monroe County. BONDS ARE PLACED FROM $1,000 TO $3,000 EACH Mobbers Overpowered Sheriffs to Lynch Prisoner—N. A. A. C. P. Starts Probe. New York, Sept. 1—Five prominent white men of Macon, Ga. have been indicted for lynching John (Cocky) Glover recently by the Bibb County Grand Jury, according to announcement made here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Glover was lynched in Monroe County, Ga., after he had shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Walter C. Byrd who was attempting to place Glover under arrest. The five men indicted are among the most prominent men in Macon. Herbert Block, one of them, is manager of the Hotel Demsney, the leading hotel in Macon. H. L. McSwain, another of the men indicted is president of the Southern Co-Operative Fire Insurance Co. N. Unice is a merchant and Guy Jones is a city fireman. The fifth man indicted was unhamed as he had not been located, having fled from town. Bond was set at amounts ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 each. Other indictments are expected to follow. The indictment charging rioting read in part: "Block, McSwain, Unice and the other party, did unlawfully and with force and arms together with persons unknown to the grand jury do a certain unlawful act of violence to wit: take from William Branan, a deputy sheriff, and from J. L. Mullally, a deputy sheriff, a certain prisoner lawfully in charge of these officers, John Glover alias Cocky Glover, for the purpose of mobbing and lynching Glover, and did in a violent and tumultuous manner, after taking Glover in charge transport him across the line between Monroe and Bibb counties for the purpose of lynching and killing Glover." The N. A. A. C. P. is carefully following these indictments to see if trials and convictions follow, or if the indictments are not to be pressed as has been the custom in the few cases where lynchers have been indictd in Southern states. COMMUNITY WORKERS GIVE BENEFIT SOCIAL The young people of the Memorial Community Club are busy making arrangements for a benefit social to be given in the cafe at Memorial Baptist church, corner Rice and Fuller St., Thursday evening, Sept. 7.

St. Paul Gives Votes to Chicago Bringing Elk's Convention To West for 1923. When the Elk's Grand Lodge was in session in Newark, N. J., last week it was a hot race between, Chicago, Richmond, Detroit, St. Louis and St. Paul to see who would get the convention for 1923. Chicago was successful in receiving the convention because St. Paul withdrew in her favor. During the contest for the convention site for next year, St. Louis, who was making a strong pull, withdrew and gave all her votes to St. Paul. This was done in an effort to bring the grand lodge west for 1923. Chicago and Richmond, Virginia were also making a strong race, with Detroit being the runner-up. Chicago had a large vote for the convention, but for fear that Richmond would overwhelm her and carry the con- (Continued on page 4) MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE, 5 CENTS OFFICER AND MAN HIT BY TRAIN IN BATTLE ON TRACKS OFFICER AND MAN HIT BY TRAIN IN BATTLE ON TRACKS Two Men Battle on Railroad Track in Chicago with Speeding Train Close at Hand.

Dyer Scores Negro of North for Apathy on Anti-Lynch Bill Urges Better Co-operation if Anti-Lynching Bill is to Pass U. S. Senate. "Northern Negroes feeling safe from lynchers, are not doing their utmost in the fight to secure passage of the anti-lynching bill which will put an end to lynching in this country," declared Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri, father of the anti-lynching bill, according to a letter from Mr. Dyer to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "If all the Negroes of the North would throw themselves vigorously in to the fight, the bill would be passed and a death blow struck to the barbarism of mobs. I think it would be well for you to issue a special appeal to the colored people in all the states where they have votes to get busy and write letters to the Republican United States Senators urging them to pass the anti-lynching bill before this session of the Senate adjourns," Mr. Dyer continued. Johnson Makes Statement James Weldon Johnson, in referring to Mr. Dyers statement, said, "I want to back up as strongly as I can what Mr. Dyer says. We have had much loyal support from colored people throughout the country, but it has not been as great and united as it should be. We are facing a most critical situation on the Dyer-Bill. Having been reported out by the Senate Judiciary Committee, it is up to us to show the Senate that the bill must be passed before this session of the Senate adjourns. The Tariff Bill was voted on, and carried on Aug. 19. We must all work to have the anti-lynching bill brought to a vote BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. We must keep the wires hot until the bill is passed." CHURCH REFUSES TO ACT; MATTER IS IUP TO TRUSTEES The congregation of the Memorial Baptist church, Rice and Fuller sts, decided Monday night to refrain from action in the charges brought against their pastor, Rev. J. W. Harris, by Perry Phillips, alleging forgery in connection with a collection being taken for a community center next to the church. According to a member of the board of trustees, the matter was voted as not affecting the congregation as a whole but was left to the board for final action. That body will meet within a few days, it was announced. A pretty reception was given last Friday afternoon by Mrs. S. L. Rogers at her home, 718 St. Anthony avenue.

For example the Negro has for years been throwing his money and energy into what might properly be called uneconomical orders, and I know that you will agree with me when I say that four-fifths of the race are supporting some one of these orders, and that you will find them by scores sitting in these ill ventilated lodge halls all night doing nothing but learning pass-words and grief. All of which costs money, but let us imagine that we see the leaders and members of these lodges waking up from their Rip Van Winkle slumbers, and after washing their faces in cold water be able to think and look at things through new eyes. They start looking into the past years of Negro life, they will find every one agreeing on the following facts: The Negro has increased his homes from 12,000 to 600,000. In farms from 20,000 to 100,000. In churches from nothing to 850,900,000, and the steep line to measure the wealth of lodges has not been made, but any child can count his factories and stores. After facing these facts suppose the members and leader of these uneconomical forces say once and for all—"No More Faking"—we will make these orders economical forces. Then let us imagine that we see the real new Negro on his farm, in his bank, factory, and store each making efforts along modern lines that promises to help him to be master instead of slaves in the economic world. Then in your congregation let us take another look and see all these forces working in union. The man on the farm producing for his own commission house, located on the busy corner of a crowded city. Then let us look up into the sky and watch the smoke stealing from our own factories producing our own stores. Then let us take one more look forward and see our boys and girls well dressed on their way to churches, lodges and schools, that will be for better and for bigger things, because we will be working in our own institutions for money we need for the support of our churches, lodges and schools, and I dare say that the outside world will be less inclined to disrespect us because we will be a very valuable asset to the business world at all events. Then will we please our young people who are coming more and more to think that some attention from the church, lodges and schools should be given to these living issues. Then, and not until then will the God of Hope be our God, and we his people. Page 2 Advertising Rates Furnished on Application. "First in Service" A GOOD MOVE CONGRATULATIONS THE GET-TOGETHER MOVEMENT (By Horace S. Scurry) THE INEVITABLE EBB WHEN the ebb tide comes, ap- WHEN the eob tide comes, apparently determined to sweep you off your feet and carry you down to the waiting sea; or when the storm clouds darken the serene sky and obscure your bright, trustworthy gilding star, summon all your courage and hasten to reach the nearest friendly port. A man naturally thinks it will go hard with him if the tide turns and sets against him. If long accustomed to good fortune, fair winds and sunny weather, a sudden burst of opposition at its first manifestation of energy appeals him. For years he has been making rapid progress, avoiding the reefs upon which many of his intimates have been wrecked. When they sank beneath the growling waters he smiled complacently and congratulated himself on his superior skill. His craft was seaworthy, his vision clear and his hand unerringly sure. But now, as the ebb froths in anger, he realizes that his boasted cleverness was largely a matter of condition with which his ability had nothing to do. He has fallen back so long on the thought that he was a superman, possessed of extraordinary prowess, the change alarms him. The inevitable ebb fills his soul with inexpressible terror. Though he shuts his mouth hard and says nothing to his suspecting wife, he cannot quell the sickening fear. Danger lurks in the waves and in the wind—in the very breath of idle gossip. The shoals are marked by fretting foam leaping high in the air, but the night is dark. His nerve is undone. His once keen perception falls hm. And yet, if he is a true man, or a man in the making, this is the one time in his life when he will show his mettle, grip the wheel with a firmer hold, bend his back and resolutely face the snarling gale panting in its effort to hurl his ship upon the rocks. In every life there is a shipwreck somewhere buried in the sands of unforgotten years. It tells the tale of a day that is done, of fond hopes, that were swept to sea and sucked under the waters of the inevitable ebb, from which no man can always steer clear, but against which every brave man will battle until he makes port. (@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) THE FRIENDLY PATH By WALTER I. ROBINSON. DON'T be afraid to laugh. A hearty laugh is as good as medicine. It aids digestion. It shoves cares aside and brings happiness to those who are sad. Thackeryar declared that "a good laugh is sunshine in the house." The world may be wild over jazzing; it may think too much about pleasure and show. But it is sorely in need of more whole-hearted laughter. When people really laugh out loud, their glee relaxes their nerves. They can feel the exhilarating single clear down to their toes. A man needs rest from everyday cares. He needs to forget temporarily vexations and sorrows which burden his mind. He gets partial rest when asleep; but after sleeping he sometimes awakes more tired in mind and body than when he lay down, because mischievous troubles—usually imagined—have kept creeping through his mind. But when a man laughs from pure joy or because he sees something or hears something which actually appeals to his sense of humor, he gives his mind a more complete rest than at any other time during day or night. It pays in happiness; it pays in everyday accomplishments to see the sunny side of life. The long-faced, dreamy mortal seldom has many friends. He finds more troubles than he actually has and exaggerates those which are real. In our pathways of work and our pathways of rest we should seek real causes for mirth.

Madagascar Gold. The island of Madagascar, according to reports received in Washington, promises to assume some importance as a producer of gold. On the eastern slope of the island are some auriferous districts said to be very rich. Nuggets and dust are found in the streams' beds, but the principal lode has not, it appears, yet been discovered. Mining engineers have anticipated such discoveries, but the methods of recovering the gold have been very crude, and only native workmen have proved capable of withstanding the climate.

He would walk up to a blackboard and ask people in the house to give him two long numbers. Given such numbers as 3,796,402,897 and 72,875,295,839 he would place one below the other, announce that he would multiply them, and write beneath them the answer. No one understood how he could do it. The people who beheld him gasped in amazement at his powers. And he went from town to town for several weeks exciting wonder and admiration till some skeptic in the audience took the trouble to write down the numbers and multiply them himself. Then it was discovered that the lightning calculator never made a multiplication at all, but merely wrote an answer in the proper number of units, which of course, was invariably wrong. A telegram to the next town and prompt action by the local authorities put an end to the calculator's career. It is easy to work rapidly if you do not work accurately, but it is of little more use than were the labors of the faker in the story. In this world of progress men must work both accurately and rapidly to get ahead, but they must cultivate accuracy first. Millions are lost in industry every year through mistakes and carelessness of people who try to work faster than they can with care. In every business accuracy is the first consideration. When, either in figuring, or in writing, or in any line of endeavor you are sure that you can be accurate it is safe to cultivate speed. But never work so fast that you are not sure you are getting down the right answers to your problem. Better creep for a while than fall every time you attempt to run. Facility will come with practice, but facility is worse than useless if it means blundering. The quick men are valuable, of course, but they are never judged for their speed alone. If their work doesn't check up, they hold their positions but a little while. (Copyright by John Blake.) "Aw, these summer furs are smart." Then why don't you give people a real thrill, girlie? Come out in a fur coat." KIDDIES SIX By Will M. Maupin A LITTLE box with tear-stained lid Beneath which many things lie hid. And often when the twilight's gloom Paints memory faces o'er the room, I leave the world of toll and care, And seated in the old armchair, I ope the lid and fondly gaze Upon the things of other days. A little box with tear-stained lid Beneath which sacred things are hid. A little shoe out at the toe— O, baby boy, I love you so— A tiny cap with upturned brim That eloquently speaks of him— These are the treasures laid away To gaze upon at close of day. A little box with tear-stained lid Beneath which treasured things are hid. A broken top, a toy, a whip, A crippled ox from Noah's ship; A tiny stocking—all the wealth That men secure by work, or stealth, Would not suffice to buy from me One thing I ope the lid to see. A little box with tear-stained lid Beneath which love-worn things are hid. As long as Death's angel roams To lay a blight on happy homes, Full many a box will hide away The relics of a happier day; And when the evening's echoes call Upon their lids hot tears will fall.

New York City, Sept. 1—Re moving what is considered the last obstacle in his way for a bout with Jack Dempsey, heavy- weight champion of the world, , Harry Wills, New Orleans heavy- weight, Tuesday night knocked out “Tut” Jackson of Washing- ton Court House, Ohio, after two minutes and five seconds of fight- ing in the third round of their scheduled fifteen-round match at Ebbets’ field, Brooklyn. ‘A hard swinging right to the kid- ney sent Jackson to the canvas. He tried hard at the count of eight to rise, then fell on his face and was carried to his corner by Wills. Jack- son had not landed more than three hard punches in the contest, while the New Orleans man had pounded him on his head and body continual- ly. It was the first time that Jackson, in his short pugilistic career, had been knocked out. Jackson became known after knocking out some for- ty-odd lesser lights in the heavy: weight division, Most notable of these was that of Sam Langford the “Boston tar baby,” who several years ago was one of the leading heavy- weights of the world. Jackson show- ed little of pugilistic prowess against Wills. Wills towered several inches above the Ohioan and outweighed him by 20 pounds. Wills showed prodigious strength in his punishing. Jackson was badly hurt by body blows and quickly weakened. Before the fight the dope-hounas had it looking like Jackson was a hard customer and might carry the fight to the limit. But once Wills squared off with him it was clearly ‘seen that Jackson was no mateh for ‘Wills. ST. PAUL ELKS NEARLY LAND CONVENTION wee ee ee o?
