ISSUES IMPORTA Convention Clearly Defines Organization is Contending tion, Which Would Save Cou Wins Next Annual Conferen DETROIT, MICH., July 7.—The 12th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People began its session in Detroit on Monday morning, June 27th, and continued to Friday, July 1st, in the Second Baptist church. The sessions were presided over by several of the general officers and some of the more prominent of the delegates. The evening sessions were held in the Auditorium of the Central High School and at the great Woodward Avenue Tabernacle, which were crowded each and every evening, where great and enthusiastic addresses were delivered by the star orators of the association. Many interesting facts were presented, some of which were very new and all very interesting. The attendance of the convention was far below the statement sent out before the arrival of the advance guard of the organization. What was expected to be 1,500 delegates dwindled to 196. However, what may have been lacking in numbers was fully made up for in enthusiasm and inspiration. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, was prominently felt and his remarks always seem to more nearly state the desires and needs of the colored people than any other man in the nation. Send Resolutions to Harding. The following message was sent to President Harding: The National Association for the advancement of colored people assembled in its twelfth annual conference at Detroit, by resolution unanimously adopted, thanks you for your message of greeting and good will to this organization. We expressly thank you for your interest in the efforts being made by the National Association to secure a just settlement of the most vital of our national questions and for the assurance that it is your design just as early as possible to proceed further along the line of your expression to Congress on the measure we had the privilege to bring to your attention. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asly appreciates your confidence in that you express a desire to receive from the association suggestions that may be helpful in developing a constructive policy. The association will avail itself of your invitation from time to time but at the present moment urges upon you the pressing law, in order to end as quickly as possible what is not only a crime against colored American citizens, but a menace to our institutions of law and order and shame upon the nation. The association again urges the importance of an interacial commission to make a thorough study of race relations in the United States, free from sectional bias and making use of scientific methods and authorative information. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will continue working, as it has done in the twelve years of its existence, through open, and legal means and through appeal to public opinion. At present an insidious attack is being made upon the association by secret and clandestine organization like the Klu Klan Klux, and sectional bodies such as the newly launched Dixie Defense Committee which attempts to spread the false impression that the National Association for the Advancement Colored People is * inimical to ANNOUN Mr. C.

SLOGAN: THE MONITOR ADDRESS TO COUNTRY peace and the amicable relations of the races. Every utterance written or spoken by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been made openly and in the light of the ideals of American democracy. This association works neither through secret meetings nor anonymous letters nor behind masks, as can be ascertained by anyone who investigates the record of the association's work, its efforts have been directed solely to the end that common justice and equal opportunity shall be assured to every American citizen regardless of color. In this effort to realize the democracy that is preached as completely as possible in the democracy that is practiced in the association invites the cooperation of all American citizens, white and black. Thursday night the Springam Medal was awarded Charles Gilpin. The next conference will be held in Newark, N. J. PROMINENT BAPTIST MINISTER OWAHA VISTO The Rev. H. H.

RELEASED ON RIOT KILLING Carrie Johnson Freed in Death of Detective Wilson Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30—The twentieth day of June was marked by the release of Carrie Johnson, after having spent nearly two years in prison. The circumstances and details of this celebrated case are too well-known to require repetition at this time. Charged with the killing of Detective Sergeant Harry Wilson, during the lamentable race riots in this city two years ago, this young girl of tender years has been the center of a hard fought legal battle in which she had the united support of her race. Convicted of manslaughter before the late Justice Gould of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, the case was recently reopened by Justice Siddons who granted a new trial on the grounds that the girl was in terror of her life when the shooting occurred, and United States Attorney John E. Laskey's entry of a noile THE STATE FEDERATION The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs held an exceedingly successful session at Lincoln, Neb., June 28 and 29. Thro their uniting efforts they have been able to pay off all indebtedness on their property and holdings and we are glad to report that they stand today free from all incumbrances; the burning of the mortgage being set for a date in the near future. It is an encouraging sign of the times to see our women so closely banded as to successfully carry our plans of such magnitude. (Signed) Mrs. S. K. BROWNLOW, State Organizer GILPIN AWARDED SPINGARN MEDAL Is Seventh Recipient of the Medal- Starred in "The Emporer Jones." (By The Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK, July 7.—The Spingarn Medal has been awarded to Charles Gilpin, the actor, who created the role of Custis in John Drinkwater's play, "Abraham Lincoln" and the title role in Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Empor- er Jones." Mr. Gilpin is the seventh recipient of the Medal, those who received it previously being: first, E. E. Just, in 1915, for researches in Biology; second, Colonel Charles Young, in 1916, for services in organizing the constabulary in Liberia; third, Harry T. Burleigh, in 1917, for excellence in the field of music; fourth William Stanley Braithwaite, in 1918, distinguished poet and literary critic; fifth, Archibald H.

When the case was at its height and when race prejudice and hatred were at white heat, this case had the first place in the news columns with headings that consumed pounds of printers ink, but now, when the case is closed with some show of equity, we find a brief notice tucked in an inconspicuous corner. It is always impossible to secure justice when mob impulse cries for blood through the smouldering rancor of that unfortunate human trait of race prejudice. It is a relic of savagery which al civilized peoples should try to put out of their hearts. Great credit must be awarded to Attorney Benjamin Gaskins, who, from the outset, gave his services without remuneration, and to whose fighting spirit and masterful handling of the case, this girl, in a large measure owes her release. MMONITOR ONE BOY SCOUT NEWS Last Sunday afternoon Troup No. 23 was given a picnic and auto ride. Long before the appointed hour, thirty happy boys were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the cars.

Surburths Was In No STATISTICS SHOW DECREASING BIRTH RATE The Total Numerical Increase in Population of Color During Last Decade Two-Thirds of a Million. Of This Increase 472,418 or Nearly Three-fourths Was In North and West. (By The Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C. July 7.—The rate of increase in the Negro population, which is not perceptibly affected by immigration, is by far the lowest rate during the past 30 years, its percentage of increase having declined from 18 per cent between 1890 and 1900 to 11.2 per cent during the following decade and to 6.5 per cent during the 10 years ending January 1, 1920. Such data as are available in regard to birth and death rates among the Negroes in dicate that the birth rate has decreased considerably since 1900, while the death rate has not changed greatly. The total numerical increase in the Negro population during the decade was 635,250. Of this increase, 472,418, or nearly three-fourths, took place in the North and West, while only 162,832, or about one-fourth, was reported for the South, despite the fact that about 85 per cent of the total Negro population is still found in the South. MAY NOT REBUILD "LITTLE AFRICA" Building Laws Will Prevent Them From Restoring Homes in Devastated District. Promises No Officials Will Be Spared and Incriminating Evidence Will Be Given to Grand Jury. "The investigation will be absolutely impartial. No honest officer who has done his duty need have anything to fear while at the same time no shielding must be expected. The law was made for all regardless of color or politics and in the serious situation which confronts Tulsa no such considerations can be for one moment entertained". —Muskogee Phoenix June 7, 1921. TULSA,—An order extending fire regulations to cover 35 blocks of the devastated Negro district here was issued today by the city commission and was regarded by officials as marking the passing of the old Negro quarter. The regulations prevent the erection of any buildings that are not fireproof. Frame structures will not be permitted in the zone, and this, it is believed, will prevent Negroes from rebuilding homes in the area. The action was expected to force the Negro residents into a new district farther removed from the business section. Say Negroes Will Gain While Negroes will be unable to erect homes on the old sites, business men pointed out that they would profit financially by the move. The property with fire restrictions, will be much more valuable for business purposes, it was said. Prominent business men declared that Negroes who owned property in the district would be able to sell it now for more than it was worth formerly for residence nues. Then it was pointed out, they would have enough money to buy property in another district and erect better homes than they had before the riots. City Not Liable The legal committee of the board of public welfare today made public an opinion holding that persons who lost property as a result of the riots and incendiarism could not hold the city or county liable for damages. Secret testimony bearing on the causes of the race riots was taken today by Attorney General S P. Freeling who convened a court of inquiry to get names of individuals responsible for the clash. Several prominent Negroes were among the first to be called before the attorney general. They were expected to name the Negroes who took the lead in the march upon the courthouse last Tuesday night, which precipitated the general fighting. Attorney General Freeling declared that he would go thoroughly into any causes which might have contributed to the riot and would respect no persons or agencies. 'Law Made for All' "This inquiry will seek to find the facts as to the inception of the riot and if it could reasonably be prevented by the peace officers. If in securing this evidence individual acts of violence such as murder, arson or burglary is found, it will be presented by me to the grand jury to be impanelled tomorrow by District Judge Biddison.

THE ASSOCIATED MILLO PRESS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE Monitor Starts Relief Fund for Tulsa Riot Victims TAFT CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM Howard Taft has realized his life-long ambition. He has been appointed Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. This is an honor which he has long coveted. His confirmation has opposed by a small group of northern senators, but warmly championed by several southern senators. This fact is rather significant. It shows how Tatt's position on the race question has, as one southern senator tersely put it, made him "beloved by the South." During Tatt's administration our group received no favorable consideration and his avowed policy was a decided hindrance. He has since his retirement from the presidency continued to give our people a vast deal of gratuitous, no doubt well-meant, but unwisely-phased advice along decidedly pronounced prosouthern lines. His pious preachments have grated harshly on our nerves. As Chief Justice we hope that Judge Taft will impartially interpret the law without bias and without prejudice to any class of American citizens. We hope that the impartial verdict of history may accord him an honored place for the wisdom and fairness of his decisions. FIGHT IT OUT HERE "I'm disgusted with the United States. Just as soon as I can arrange it, I am going to Mexico or South America, where manhood and not color counts. I have spent some time in Mexico and know conditions there. I can see no hope for our race in the United States. As our people advance in education, refinement and wealth here conditions become worse instead of better." The speaker was a young man of good education and character, just the kind of men America needs and our race needs to remain here in the United States and fight it out. Were his case an isolated one, it were hardly necessary to speak of it, but this young man is but one of many who are becoming disgusted or perhaps it were better to say disheartened over the attitude of this country towards our people and are looking towards the Latin countries as a haven. The Monitor admits that race prejudice is increasing and that it's mighty galling to young men of spirit and to older men of cooler blood to be constantly encountering it, but that is no excuse for running away from it. There is the greater reason for standing one's ground, screwing up one's courage and by strength of character, virile manhood and proven sterling worth fight and conquer it. God had a purpose in bringing our ancestors to this land and in giving them and us such a large share in its development. It is therefore here that we are to work out our destiny. We urge our young men not to become discouraged and seek other lands but to fight it out here and help save the United States. GET BEHIND IT THE Cooperative Store, a $100,000 corporation located on North 24th street, owned and operated by Colored people should command the attention of all of us who have pride in the advancement of our people in big business lines. Born under a charter which permits engagement in any kind of enterprise, as a subsidiary and arranged to include in its membership at least six hundred and twenty families, it showed far sightedness on the part of its founders and is logically in a position to command a large trade base, and consequently in Company is Company in their lives, and mistakes and blun- ness proved costly. That is why one, not even they their work is to deny. Mistakes and be, is unusual in worth while or in amount of this character. But is it the reasonable thing to do, to Fund for Tulsa Riot Victims EDGEMENTS. day.....$10.00 .....1.00 .....12.50 .....2.00 .....1.00 .....1.00 .....1.00 .....1.00 .....$29.50 stand aloof and rain eternal criticism upon them for these mistakes? Suppose we saw a child by mistake, drowning, would it be the proper thing for us to stand on the shore and shout criticism on him because it was his blunders that placed him in the precarious condition? Would it not rather be our duty to either plunge in or throw out the life line and save him? The same is true in this and all other honest race enterprises. Let us throw out the life line now and save it. Recently in order that the Company might remedy some of those mistakes, it made a complete change in management by appointing Dr. J. R. Lemma as general manager. They already show signs of a great revival of interest and advancement. Under the versatile management of Dr. J. R. Lemmz, it has finally got down to a real merchandising business with a grocery department well stocked and selling at as low a prices as any other store in the city. Their front windows as well as their ice boxes and shelves are well stocked with the very best in their line. The store is attractively decorated, not with flowers and ornaments, but with eatables, which would grace any table. Their left wing is now open with women's ready-to-wear garments, under Mrs. Vordie Massey. Let's get behind it and push. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON Henry Lincoln Johnson has been named as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. In our judgment this is too small a position for a man of the caliber of Colonel Johnson. It looks to us like an adroit move to remove him from his present important position of national commiteeman from Georgia. If, however, he is to be given something commensurate with his services and ability he merits something bigger than Recorder of Deeds. PRESS COMMENTS OKLAHOMA'S CIVIL WAR The American Negro is no longer "docile and easily lynched," as Mr. Dooley once described him. He is asserting his right to live under the white man's law and have the privileges and immunities and guarantees of that law. So long as he is denied that right in whole or in part the way is open to the repetition of such tragedies as that which cost so many lives and destroyed $1,500,000 in property at Tulsa, Okla. The civil war that took place in that city between whites and blacks had its origin in lynch law. A Negro had attacked a white girl in the elevator of a department store and was arrested. Immediately the rumor spread that he was to be lynched. Negroes with arms went to the jail to protect him. White men with arms followed them. The police did nothing. Then a white man tried to seize a gun from a Negro and what then took place is described for the World's readers by Richard Lloyd Jones, publisher of the Tulsa Tribune: "The blacks were reinforced by other blacks. The whites hurried for arms. The city was in darkness. Stores having firearms in stock were smashed into. The blacks and the whites in growling groups began to parade the street. Two hours before midnight the battle began." Government ceased for the time being to exist and the streets of Tulsa ran with blood. But in vast sections of the country government has a habit of ceasing to exist where the legal rights of the Negro are concerned. Had the offense in question been committed by a white man the law would presumably taken its course. Although white men are sometimes lynched when accused of crime, the general presumption is that they will not be. Although black men are often not lynched when accused of crime, the general Thomas Hillpatrick MC Established 1800 Has peculiar and unusual Value Features this year. Not only is much Summer Merchandise offered from our own stock, but Many lots cleared from Manufacturers at reduced prices are now selling Ready to Wear Silk and Wash Goods Women's Underwear Corsets Men's Shirts and Underwear Children's Dresses presumption in many parts of the United States is that they are likely to be. Out of that presumption came Tulsa's race war. A great change has come over the American Negro's attitude toward the white man's government during the last four years—a change for which the war was largely responsible. The Negro was conscripted like any other citizen. He was put into a uniform, given a rifle and sent to France to fight for his country. He was good enough to die for the flag, and naturally he refuses longer to believe that he is not entitled to privileges and immunities for which the flag stands. He is no longer submissive but aggressive, and while this change has its grave dangers to the Negro himself, it is an inevitable consequence of the failure of local and state governments to administer evenhanded justice. It is the fashion to attribute most of the recent race riots to economic rivalry between whites and blacks, but economic rivalry is no new thing. For more than fifty years there has been an irrepressible conflict between the blacks and the so-called "poor whites", and this conflict is bound to go on as long as the two races compete for their daily bread. Rivalry, however, is not riot, and back of all these miniature civil wars which disgrace the nation from year to year is the breakdown of government and the denial of due process Our July Clean Now Has peculiar and unusual Not only is much Summer from our own stock, but Manufacturers at reduc Sale Ready to Wear Silk and Wash Women's Corset Me The TOWNSEND GUN CO.

Lincoln said that this government could not endure half slave and half free. It cannot endure with one law for the white man and another law for the black man. There must be one law for both, and until there is one law for both every community of mixed population is living under the shadow of threatened anarchy.—New York World.

There was a hundred or more young people at the afternoon dance which was under the supervision of Mr. Roy Jones. Mr. O. C. Winn, assisted by Mr. Roger Montgomery, who managed the floor. There are very few if any dances that carried as many people as did the General Public Dance at night. Beside the home people there were many persons from Sloux City, Kansas City, Lincoln, and other smaller towns. Everybody was keyed up to the occasion. The special music furnished by "Turner's Select Orchestra" could be heard amid the roar of fireworks and the explosion of blank cartridges. In spite of the usual roughness and mischief done on this date there was not one unfortunate happening to reflect discredit upon the dance. This success is in keeping with the reputation and standard that the club is daily striving to build. (James Orlesby-Publicity Agent.) BOXING!

Gentlemen: The Monitor has been respectfully, but insistently, calling your attention during the past month to the crying need of a better-lighted North Twenty-fourth Street, especially between Cuming and Lake streets. We are urging this improvement primarily in the interests of the business and professional men on this growing thoroughfare, but aside from this for the good of the whole city. Anyone will admit that a city that is uniformly well-kept attracts and impresses visitors. Dark and gloomy streets, business or residential, make a bad impression. If a street is well-paved, well-lighted and attractive the citizens themselves take pride in keeping their property and business in line with these surroundings. Dingy business streets invite dingy business enterprises. We want you therefore to brighten up North Twenty-fourth street. We know that you are anxious to make your administration one to which all citizens can point with pride for its progressiveness and improvements. During your last administration North Twenty-fourth street was paved which did wonders for that thoroughfare. Now give us modern up-to-date lights on North Twenty-fourth street. Business men and residents in that section are anxious for this improvement. Can we count upon you to grant us this reasonable request? The tax-payers of this section are justly entitled to better-paved and better-lighted streets. Let's have them, please!
