IND GOVERNOR THREATENED VOL. I, NO. 50 "IT'S A LIE" SAYS PERRY HOWARD TO N.A.A.C.P. CHARGES "IT'S A LIE" SAYS PERRY HOWARD TO N.A.A.C.P. CHARGES Denounces the Perfidy of Those Responsible for the Charges Made Against Him. ADMITS HE HAS NO USE FOR N. A. A. C. P. LEADERS Claims Those Who Supported Dyer Bill Have Profiled While He Sacrificed Much. Perry W. Howard, Washington, D. C., who was charged by J. Weldon Johnson, Dr. Du Bois and other officials of obstructing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, in a letter to the public, vehemently denies that he is any way obstructing the bill. Mr. Howard's plain spoken letter follows: Washington, D. C., Dec. 15. I have read with amazement the release from the N. A. A. C. P., of December 8, charging that I defeated the anti-lynching bill. I want to denounce the perfidy of those responsible for this release for disjointing my letter and leaving out certain parts, which was intended to make it distasteful. No honorable man would do this; and I challenge them to publish the letter in its entirety. First, I want to say that any statement or intimation that I in any wise, directly or indirectly, defeated or contributed to the defeat of the antlynching bill is a lie, and there is not a sane man in the country who believes this, including the man or men who released the article so charging. Second, The reference to the Liberian loan is innuendo, and, therefore, unworthy of notice. Worked for Bill. Worked for Bill. It is well known by the author of this release that for two years I have worked incessantly, together with other friends, to get an anti-lynching bill on the Federal statutes; and instead of appreciation and co-operation on the part of Mr. James Weldon Johnson, our efforts were resented by him because it was interfering with his one aim, and that is to exploit his importance and keep in the limelight. I have every reason to believe that he would perfer that the bill be not passed if it will in any wise dim the luster of his vanity or self-exploitation. Our activities for the anti-lynching bill, or any other movement, have been consistently opposed by Mr. Johnson and Mr. DuBois with his "Crisis," which he has freely used to belittle and minify our activities in every way. Not Opposed to N. A. A. C. P. I have no word of censure for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People per se and its earnest members who mean well and are doing their best; but I do object to these autocrats exploiting themselves at the expense of the Association and seeking to belittle those who do not pay homage to them. It has been presumed from the beginning that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was a non-political organization. But true to my political faith I can but resent the present leaders invariably lining up otherwise and misleading their followers into killing off some of the few friends we had in the Senate. I resent this with all my soul. I especially resent their action towards Senator du Pont, who was defeated through the activities of the N. A. A. C. P., and whose friendship for and fidelity to us have never been questioned, and in his stead they elected a senator who already has voted with the Democrats on every root call where any matter of interest to the Negro was at stak. Stood by Party I have no apology to make for standing by the men of my party who have always stood for those things which will benefit our group. What I have done and am trying to do has been at sacrifice; but I challenge any leader of the N. A. A. C. P. to show one thing he has done without reward or the hope of reward in fabulous salaries. The public will well remember that when I came to Washington, Mr. DuBols with his "Crisis" without investigation or otherwise, undertook to minify the importance of any position forgetting that he had humiliated the association by wearing out the backsteps of Woodrow Wilson seeking a captaincy—not to fight, but to join the other dilettantes in the intelligence bureau—not to mention his unfortunate "Close Ranks" article. Ads to White Papers. May I ask what credit does Mr. Johnson give to the struggling colored newspapers throughout the country, which, in season and out, labored for an anti-lynching bill? In face of the fact that these papers have worked in season and out for the passage of this bill and when the N. A. A. C. P. had $6,000 to spend for advertising, I should certainly never have been guilty of sending it down (Continued on Page 4) THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN MEN WHO HAVE BEEN ACTIVE DURING THE PAST YEAR The Northwestern Bulletin WISHES TO ALL A Prosperous and Happy New Year THE BULLETIN STAFF WALTER H.

Washington, Dec. 29.—The Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting of The American Negro Academy was held in Washington, D. C., Wednesday, and Thursday, December 27 and 28, 1922. A special feature of the program was an address, subject, "Race in Culture," by Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, of West Chester, Pa., formerly head of the Department of English in the Virginia Military Institute. Papers were also read by President Arthur A. Schomburg of Brooklyn, N. Y., subject, "The Negro and Christianity," Dr. Joseph J. France, of Portsmouth, Va., subject, "The Negro and Race Consciousness," and Mr. T. Montgomery Gregory, of Washington, subject, "The Negro Theatre." The opening meetings were held in the Cleveland Public School, 8th and T Streets, N. W., each day at 7:30 p. m., under the auspices of the Community Center Department, and the business meetings, at 11 a. m., in the Library of the Mu-so-lit Club. ST.

Hill Colored Citizens Win First Fight In School Battle The colored citizenry of Springfield Ohio, won the first flight in court against the board of education, when the decision was handed down by Judge Frank W. Geiger in Common Pleas Court, overruling the demurrer of the board of education which is trying to force "Jim Crow" practices in the public schools there. The demurrer filed by the board admitted the truth of the allegations of the petition to the effect that the board of education is, by transfer of pupils seeking to establish an institution exclusively for colored pupils. This was the second step in what is promised to be a bitter legal fight for and against separate schools in Ohio.

Chesnutt Accomplishments For Past Year Lead All Others During the past year much creditable work has been done in the city by members of our group which were of credit to both themselves and the race. Without exception, we have taken part in every civic movement in St. Paul besides launching successful attempts to bring members of our own group together for the mutual advantage of cooperation. While there are several others who have done many creditable things of which we may be proud, we have only selected a few for comment in this week's edition. One of the most outstanding features of the year and one of the most successful affairs ever given in this section was the Business Exhibition given at Union Hall in November. Dr. John R. French, as chairman of the committee, has received and is entitled to an unlimited amount of praise for his splendid work in this direction. In Mr. S. Ed Hall we have been efficiently represented on Mayor Nelson's Advisory Board. Mr. Hall is a progressive, persistent worker who is particularly interested in the proposed $6,000,000 improvement bond issue because a sewerage system and paving for Rondo St. has come under the consideration of the supporters of the $6,000,000 bond issue. Mayor Nelson has practically assured Mr. Hall that every possible effort will be made to include the Rondo St. paving in the proposed highway improvement program. Mr. Hall was also a member of the grand jury which convened last spring. Possibly the biggest thing done during the year for benefit of Negro business men and the community was the organization of the St. Paul Negro Business League, an organization whose usefulness has already been demonstrated in the community. The functioning of this body has been under the good leadership of Mr. O. Howell, proprietor of the Uptown Sanitary System. As an efficient business man, Mr. Howell has climbed up the ladder and as head of the Business League many promising and (Continued on Page 4) Undertakers Make Small Fortune Snatching Coffins From Cemetery For Resale Caught in Act M. B. S. Ed Hall JOHN B. BURKE Urban League To Publish Journal On Negro Life Urban League To Publish Journal On Negro Life New York, Dec. 30—At a meeting of the executive board of the National Urban league held in this city authority was granted the league's department of research and investigation to publish a monthly "journal of Negro life," with the title "Opportunity." The first issue is to appear in January. The editor is Charles S. Johnson, a graduate of Virginia Union and Chicago Universities, who was associate executive secretary of the Chicago commission on race relations appointed by Governor Lowden following the Chicago race riot. Mr. Johnson is also director of the department of research and investigations of the National Urban league. WALKER WILLIAMS PURCHASES PROPERTY Mr. Walker Williams has closed a deal covering the building at the corner of Kent St. and St. Anthony Ave. The deal was closed at the figure of $10,000. The transaction was handled by Attorney W. T. Francis and purchased from Max Resnick. Mr. Williams has conducted a Resort for men at this place for a number of years and is well known among the fraternal orders. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 29—Anyone who can recall the graveyard scene in vaudeville can get a better imaginary view of the iron courage necessary to go into a cemetery, dig up coffins, take the body out, then bury the dead bodies without coffins, placing the latter in a wagon. Well! that is exactly what the police here say they saw Thurman Jones, an undertaker, and his assistant, Edward Ware, do about midnight last Friday in a local cemetery. Both are known as "Casket Snatchers." Jones admitted that the "snatching" had been going on for nearly a year. Reports of "casket snatching" in this cemetery have been current for J. Dr. John R. French M. Negro Not Inferior Claims Professor Negro Not Inferior Claims Professor University Head Asserts White Race Has Conceited Opinion of Superior Mentality. Champaign, Ill., Dec. 29.—At a lecture session at the University of Illinois recently, Prof. E. H. Cameron head of the Department of Psychology and Auhtor of the text book used in the course gave his hearers a big jolt when he spoke on the subject of racial inferiority. Prof. Cameron disputed the prevalent notion that the Negro is mentally inferior to the white race. He said that this idea of superior mentality was due to the conceited opinion that the white man has of himself; that psychologists know that the black man is not mentally inferior and that if there are some inferior members the number of inferior members in the white race far exceed the number in the Negro race. He also said that the Indian race is not by any means an inferior race mentally, but that as a race they had been handicapped by environment. Mr. Clyde Young of Omaha was in the city visiting his brother, Mr. V. B. Young, 610 Broadway, over Christmas. He left Monday evening for Omaha. weeks. Friday night officers lay in wait and watched the "snatchers" at work. The officers declared Jones and another Negro, Ed Ware, dug up two bodies, reburied them minus the coffins, and then drove away with the caskets. Jones told the police he and Ware had made a small fortune. He said Ware was the leader, and always told him what grave to open. Ware also is in jail but refuses to talk. Following publication of the story cemetery officials were flooded with requests from relatives of persons buried in the cemetery seeking disinterment permits to see if the caskets had been stolen. ACTION AGAINST KU KLUX BRINGS DEATH MESSAGE Sec'y of Ku Klux Klan Warns Governor Not to Interfere With Their Activities. KLAN TO SWEEP COUNTRY WARNS ALL GOVERNORS McCray Heartily Denounced the Klan When It First Began Operating. A threat to Governor McCray that "a bullet is waiting for you," if he goes "any further" against the Ku Klux Klan, and a warning that "laws have no meaning for us" are contained in a letter addressed to the Governor and received at his office last Thursday. It purports to have come from a "secretary of the Ku Klux Klan" and was written on pink paper and malled in a pink envelope which bears a Gary postmark, dated December 13, 11:30 a.m. There was no signature. "As secretary of the Ku Klux Klan I have been instructed to write you to advise you before hand not to interfere with the activities of our order. We are here to stay and laws have no meaning for us. We understand that you have already expressed your disapproval of our organization but don't go any further for if you do a bullet is waiting for you. We do not intend to let anything or anybody stand in our way. With 10,000,000 members we will sweep the country and Governors had better be prepared for the worst, for we mean business. Instead of criticising us you ought to be glad to join our ranks. Remember, the eyes of the Ku Klux Klan are on you." Governor McCray roundly denounced the Klan when it first began operating in Indiana. Threats on the Governor's life occasionally are received at the Statehouse, but little attention is paid them. Threats were received when he used state means and soldiers to mine coal for state institutions while the coal strike was on. ProminentJournalist Begins Nation Tour ProminentJournalist Begins Nation Tour Melvin J. Chisum Starts Tour of Country in Interest of Newspaper Men. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 23.—Melvin J. Chisum, Field Secretary of the National Negro Press Association is to start Dec. 27 on his tour of the country in the interest of the organization and newspaper men generally. Mr. Chisum who is a doer of concrete things, was elected at the last Press Association meeting to his position and because of his enthusiasm for the work is voluntarily making a visit to all the important papers of the country. He expects to exchange ideas, gather suggestions and data looking forward to the strengthening of the association so as to enable it to function more fully. Editors or organizations interested in having Mr. Chisum call on them can secure a place in his itinerary by writing 407 Third St., N. E., Washington, D. C. He plans to make New York, Boston, Providence, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, then farther west, south and return by way of the seaboard and coast towns. THE UNITY CLUB'S XMAS DANCE HUGE SUCCESS The Xmas Ball given by Unity Club at the Coliseum Tuesday evening, was a huge success. There were fully 700 people in the hall, but it was nevertheless, comfortable for dancing. Moore's 10 piece orchestra furnished the music and Mrs. Genevieve Ford Douglass rendered some very beautiful songs during intermission, which were highly appreciated. Dancing lasted until one o'clock and the guests departed in high spirits, having spent a very enjoyable evening in the Northwest's largest dance hall. Advertising Rates Furnished on Application.

The old year seeping out, reminds us of many things we have and have not done and leaves us still at our tasks. With the new year we pledge ourselves to start anew, to accomplish more, to do greater things that the next 365 days may be brighter, happier and more prosperous. During the past year, The Bulletin has committed itself to its tasks. It has served the community well and promises to be of even greater service with the continued co-operation and loyal support of its readers, advertisers and friends. Without the newspaper, the community is at sea; with it it comes enlightenment, knowledge, co-operation. We are ready to assume our role for the coming year. The Bulletin staff, locked armed, wishes to all, a happy and prosperous new year and like a college crowd backs up their best wishes with three 'rah for everybody. Happy New Year. The inmates of the Crispus Attucks Home enjoyed a most delicious Christmas dinner though almost completely forgotten by the people of St. Paul. However, the generosity of those who at the eleventh hour remembered them, shall never be forgotten by those inmates. Certainly it would be appropriate to think of our old folks more often than we do, to say little about doing for them for such a season as Christmas. A trip up Rondo Street in a Ford is like a ride in a row boat on a rough sea. The paving of this street alone would be a marked improvement in the city. CONTEMPORARIES THE LOVE OF WORK to others is the bed-rock upon which it service is too often a matter of barter we are paid to do them, and too often principle back of our social and business one's work is comparable with the gr Service to others is the bed-rock upon which civilization is founded. But service is too often a matter of barter; we do things only because we are paid to do them, and too often lose sight of the great principle back of our social and business relations. Love of one's work is comparable with the greatest joy in life. A good many years ago my father preached a doctrine that may have been fallacious, and possibly is responsible for travels from coast to coast and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. Said he: "A rolling stone may gather no moss, but it surely acquires a polish. You may try firing a locomotive, and discover that you don't like it; an experience as traveling salesman may convince you that you are not fitted for the job; you may waste several months studying shorthand, only to discover that temperamental equipment militates against your success as a private secretary; you may try sticking type until you get disgusted with hands that are always dirty—but don't loaf on any job you tackle. To be something, you must do something."—The Examiner. We Wish to Thank Our Many Customers for their Past Patronage and to All We Extend a Hearty Greeting for a Joyous and Prosperous New Year.

Hamilton displayed real boxing ability and though the weaker of the two fighters at the close of the bout he had piled up a sufficient number of points to earn nothing less than a draw with Hopkins. The men were middleweights. In the semi-windup, Al Shelton knocked out his opponent, Kid Bear Cat of Minneapolis, early in the second round of a scheduled six round bout. Shelton was easily too much for Bear Cat and lost no time in stowing away his opponent. Both fighters were middleweights. In the opening bout, Moe Joe, lanky battler of Curley Campbell's, took the count at the hands of Dave Wright of Minneapolis. The end came in the fifth round when Wright sent a terrific right to Moe Joe's jaw ending their scheduled six round contest. The show was very well attended. The club plans on putting another show on in a very short time, John Walton, matchmaker, announced Thursday night. MEN WHO HAVE BEEN ACTIVE DURING YEAR (Continued From Page 1) beneficial things may be expected from this body. Mr. Howell is also a partner in the Bulletin Publishing Co. One of our prominent attorneys who has been active especially in civic life of St. Paul is Attorney W. T. Francis. He has spoken on numerous programs among them numbering the $5,000,000 school bond issue, the community chest and other matters of civic interest. Mr. Francis recently enjoyed the opportunity of speaking before the Twin City Theological Society. He is also legal adviser for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Setting up his little dental office in the Dakota building hardly over a year ago, Dr. Carl S. Weber has successfully practiced dental surgery. During this period Dr. Weber has successfully performed some of the most delicate operations. He is one of our young men who is making good. Dr. Valdo D. Turner has been chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (local) for ten consecutive years. He has been an enthusiastic and energetic worker for the cause for a number of years and will no doubt be re-elected to the same office at a meeting of the board shortly after New Years. Aside from successfully practicing law, Attorney J. Louis Ervin practically unaided almost succeeded in bringing the 1923 convention of L. B. P. O. E. W. to St. Paul at the recent convention of Elks held in Newark. Mr. Ervin, representing Gopher Lodge, made a strong plea for the convention, lining up sufficient forces to all but assure St. Paul of getting 722-6th Ave. No. Service & Courtesy TAILORING, HAT CLEANING Shoe Shining Wm.

The Elks convened here once before in 1908. In less than ten months, through thick and thin, Mr. Walter H. Chesnutt, managing editor of the Northwestern Bulletin, has succesfully piloted his publication to the point where more than seven thousand people read his paper weekly. Aside from the newspaper business he has been active in other constructive programs. Mr. Chesnutt is only twenty years old. As secretary of the Board of Crispus Attucks Home Directors, Dr. L. R. Hill has served efficiently. Mr. F. O. McCracken, local real estate dealer, because of ill health has been obliged to decline several lucrative positions with colored eastern concerns. However, he has been very active in business circles in the city and is a prominent member of the business league. Mr. McCracken recently served on the jury in Judge Page Morris' court. TIS A LIE, SAYS PERRY W. HOWARD (Continued From Page 1) to the Atlanta Constitution and other white dailies which did not need it, when some of our press boys are crying for bread. The only difference between "Jim" and me on the anti-lynching bill is that he is growing rich on it while I am growing poorer in trying to put it through. Regardless of whether in the change of changes bad persons, labelled Republicans, crop into office, still I am a Republican without apologies, and if this be treason, then make the most of it. Somebody Wuz Sayin' that— When Moe Joe dropped his 170 lbs. to the canvass after Dave Wright had connected with his jaw, he had enough reason to lay there until the referee counted him out two or three times.
