WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21—President Harding has entered the field of worldwide statesmanship. His invitation to the various powers to hold a conference on the subject of disarmament has met with a quick and hearty response. This tremendous subject, which has been working its way forward for a number of years, is about to be considered in Washington. It is a subject that affects every citizen, and the course of the general program will be watched with the greatest of interest. The President's opposition to the consideration of the bonus bill under the present economic strain, has been successful, and the majority of the soldiers are willing to look at the matter from the Administration point of view. These big questions together with the consideration of the tariff, have somewhat overshadowed the matters NEW JERSEY VITES TAKE IMPORTANT STAND (By The Associated Negro Press.) NEWARK, N. J., July 21.—Special—New Jersey Colored Republicans have gone on record of endorsing only such candidates for public office who prove themselves true friends of the people, and they will accept no political favors from their United States Senators until after such a time as the Senators rescind from the endorsement of a candidate for office who was recommended for office without the state organization endorsement. These facts were brought out in the monthly meeting of the Colored Republican State Committee, of which Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City is chairman. There was an election of officers at the meeting at which Mr. Nutter was re-elected unanimously. The state committee is an organization which meets once each month in a principal city of the state, representatives being present from every county of the state where Colored people reside. IN CASE OF WAR WITH JAPAN (By The Associated Negro Press.) PATERSON, N. J., July 21.—The first American crew to capture a Japanese warship in event of war between the United States and Japan would receive a prize of 5,000 German marks by the will of Charles O. H. Fritzche, former Paterson engineer, made public recently. It was received here from Dresden, Germany where Mr. Fritzche died January 1. This will, made April 19, 1910, creates a 5,000-mark trust fund, the income of which is to go to buy firewood for the poor of Paterson unless country gets into war with Japan. Then the principal is to go for the prize. MARCUS GARVEY RETURN Founder And Head of the University Concerning Whose Reas Was Some Question Lands in Absence. (By the Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK CITY, July 21.—Marcus Garvey is back! The founder and head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is once more on American soil, after an absence of several months. Mr. Garvey was delayed several months in his return to the United States by governmental complications. Some time ago the Associated Negro Press stated that efforts were being made to keep the U. N. I. A chief from returning to the states, on the grounds of being "an undesirable citizen." It can be authoritively stated that SLOGAN: THE MONITOR There is a real conspiracy on in Congress against giving the Colored Americans a square deal. It is not all from the source that might be expected. The Associated Negro Press has learned from authoritative sources that there are men in Congress, some of whom have Colored constituents in large numbers, and who have been elected on the Republican ticket, who are double-crossing both the President and the Colored people. It is known that the President is pretty well disgusted with that class of "statesman" and it is an open secret that the Chief Executive does not take kindly to the idea of having all criticism directed to him. There are a number of these who will be up for re-election in 1922, and there is a goodly number of these already on the "black list." WOULD STOP SUNDAY WORK NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 21.—Mr Noah W. Cooper of this city, chairman of the Southern Methodist Sabbath saving Crusade, who says his organization represents the sentiments of 10,000,000 professing Christians of the South, has arrived in Washington as advance guard of a number of delegates from southern states, who, he asserts, will reach there soon, to bring their campaign before Congress. The campaigners will present to every member of Congress a petition asking for the passage of a law prohibiting any man from engaging in work on the Sabbath. SOUTHERN EDUCATOR ORGANIZES TRUST COMPANY (By The Associated Negro Press.) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 21. President R. R. Wright, Sr., of the Georgia State Industrial College, Savannah, Ga., resigned on the 15th of June after having served this institution for thirty years. He was its founder and first president and built the institution up from 8 students to where it has over five hundred students, from one department to where it has ten departments and made it one of the most influential institutions for the education of colored people in the country. Dr. Wright left Georgia and has moved to this city where he is to become president of the Citizens' & Banking Company of which he is also one of the founders. He is organizing the largest Trust Company among Negroes in the north, being capitalized at $500,000.00 and is going to devote the balance of his life to organizing the financial resources of his people. We know how the moon comes to be full, but it is really a mystery how some men get "full" in these dry days. RMS TO UNITED STATES Persal Negro Improvement Associ- admittance to This Country There in New York After Several Months such was the plan. The matter was taken up with the Department of Justice and the Stae Department by the General Counsel of the Garvey movement, William C. Matthews, of Boston, and aided by the assistant counsellors of the movement, they were successful in producing evidence to show that the work of the organization is quite entirely in line with the principles upon which the American government was founded. No demonstration was permitted by the officers of the organization when Mr. Garvey reached New York, but a great mass meeting was held in Lib- erty. Hall following his return.

Irwin who for several years has been Archdeacon of the Colored work of the Episcopal church of the Diocese of Southern Florida, and pastor of St. Agnes' Episcopal church this city, was the victim of a cowardly and indefensible assault last Sunday night at the hands of members of the Ku Klux Klan. The clergyman was seized by eight masked men, taken to the woods, flogged, tarred and feathered. He was brought back to the city and thrown out of an automobile and ordered to leave town. His assailants charged him with teaching and encouraging social equality among the members of his congregation.

TULSA, Okla., July 21.—S. D. Hooker, Chairman of the Colored citizens' relief committee has just issued an appeal to the general public for help in its work to bring a return to normal conditions, among Colored people in this city. Thousands of the people are now living in tents and in such other improvised homes as can be given them by the local Colored committee. Unfortunately, the Colored people have been left to their own resources despite the general plan for relief. Senator Pat Harrison is an Irishman. It follows that he is a friend of liberty.

TULSA, Okla., July 21.—The Colored Citizens of Tulsa, Oklahoma, through their Pelief Committee, respectfully ask that Sunday, July 24th, 1921, will be set aside in all churches throughout the United States, as Tulsa Relief Day, and that the Pastors and officers of their churches will ask prayers of every member of their respective congregations for the thousands of victims of the cruel mob that looted and burned the homes and business places, churches, schools, lodges and everything that the people possessed, and to this day have tried to take the land for other purposes and remove the Colored people to a remote field of eighty acres of land wholly outside the city limits and to which a good title cannot be had. We respectfully suggest that on this day Pastors and laymen will make talks along the line of better racial understanding that will make such things as race wars impossible, and that each church will take an offering to help relieve these people who are suffering through no fault of their own. This appeal is to every church, lodge, club, Commercial Club and every other organization of the race, and to organizations of their races who will help. Send all money and other articles to S. D.

July 4, have been arrested at Bainbridge, Ga., according to information received here. The men who gave their names as Joe Martin of Brunswick, Ga., and Jim Lingo of Camden County, Ga., are alleged to have confessed to Sheriff Martin of Bainbridge. PECULIAR RELIGIOUS SECT (By The Associated Negro Press.) CAPE TOWN, Africa, July 21.—A native religious sect which calls itself the "Israelites," under a "prophet" named Enoch, who refused to evacuate Government land at Buffoek, near Queenstown, Cape Colony, has been forcibly ejected, losing 171 killed and 126 wounded in a fight with mounted Cape police. For some years the Government had permitted the "Israelites" to celebrate "Passover" on a common, but each year a growing number of pilgrims remained behind on what they called "holy ground," until a village of some 350 huts had sprung up. The sect forbade anybody to enter the village, or to recognize any authority, except orders from "Jehovah, the God of Israel," as interpreted by Enoch the prophet. We wonder who has been jockeying owner Moore and editor Harris. Pistols! Two funerals! Then peace for a tired world!

WRITER CAPTURES ANOTHER LITERARY PRIZE Isaac Fisher Who Has Established a Reputation In Nation-Wide Competitive Contests Is Awarded Third Prize by Metropolitan Magazine for Article on Japanese Question. By Geo. W. Buckner (Special Representative, National Urban League) TULSA, Okla., July 21.—The first impression one gets upon returning to Tulsa is the changed spirit of the Negroes. No longer do they sit around and discuss their losses. On the contrary, they are busy building huts, enlarging their tents and getting ready to stay. There are also more people here now than I found upon my first trip. Many who have gone as far as Canada are now returning to Tulsa. Building Begins Several new buildings are now going up in Greenwood, after the permits were issued with much reluctance. In some cases I am told, Negroes have been building without permits. It now seems evident that the Negro section as a whole will not be turned over to the whites for an industrial district. This idea of "grabbing" the Negro section has brought about the most resentful attitude on the part of Negroes and they are determined that they shall not be killed and looted, and "cuffed" as well. Attitude of Whites The attitude of the whites has not changed since the reaction set in. At first, there was the emotion for repatriation and restoration.

LONDON, England, July 21.—Once more the tradition that England and America are the ten lost tribes of Israel, the British throne the Throne of David, and that the two nations shall dominate the world has been revived with the meeting of the British-Israeli Congress last week. Its activities have more than once aroused to fury such anti-Semitic organs as the Morning-Post and have revived tales that Semitic blood entered the royal house through Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort. AMERICANS IN MEXICO (By the Associated Negro Press.) MEXICO CITY, Mexico, July 21. There are approximately 20,000 Americans in Mexico, and 10,000 of this number are Negroes, according to a recent estimate by the Department of Immigration. The number in Mexico City represents a decrease of 65 per cent from pre-revolutionary days. Americans out-number all other foreigners with the exception of the Spanish.

The feeling now is one of nonchance and many of the influential whites have gone away for the Summer. A site for the Negro district has already been selected by those who own the land or own land near it. The location of the site is therefore obvious to anyone. That the Negroes will never occupy it seems definitely certain, however. Negroes Deserve Help To smile and sing under such ghastly conditions is indeed almost unbelievable. Negroes throughout the country should rally to assist the thousands of homeless in Tulsa. The need of temporary relief in food and clothing has been sufficiently met, but there is a very urgent need of bedding and cooking utensils and household articles. Over 1500 suits are to be filed against the city and county for damages. This will call for money for attorney fees, securing affidavits, etc. The Clored people of the country could render no larger human service than by helping these destitute and deserving people in their hour of blackest despair. Here is the greatest opportunity to show our Race loyalty in a most tangible way. the employ of John C.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRUSS FIRST IN SERVICE Monitor Starts Relief Fund for Tulsa Riot Victims white men, priests and laymen, it is numbering its days. The Monitor is glad to see the cowardly gang showing its true colors, for it means its speedy dissolution. TULSA'S NEED WE publish in this issue an appeal, for which we most gladly contribute the advertising space, for help for our distressed brethren in Tulsa, and also another appeal sent out by the same committee requesting that next Sunday be made Tulsa Relief Day in all our churches throughout the land. These appeals are issued by the Colored Citizens' Relief Committee of which S. D. Hooker, one of Tulsa's most responsible merchants, a member of the firm of Elliot and Hooker, clothiers, whose splendid establishment was destroyed by the mob, is chairman. The executive secretary of the committee is G. A. Gregg, Secretary of the Hunton Branch of the Y. M. C. A. The other members of the committee are well-known, dependable up-standing citizens. What they say comes therefore with authority and compelling force. There is no doubt the fact that there is suffering among the colored people of Tulsa. Not only were their homes burned but those homes and business places were looted and robbed by the vandals before they were fired. Tulsa does not sincerely intend to grant adequate relief. The disgraceful report of the grand jury, throwing the blame for the riot upon the colored people and the indictment of scores of colored citizens for rioting and about a dozen whites for looting clearly proves this and shows the hypocrisy and insincerity of the white business men of Tulsa who sent forth the statement that the destroyed homes would be rebuilt. The movement, which The Monitor sincerely hopes will be thwarted by legal procedure, to compel the owners of property in the burned district to dispose of their valuable property and build two miles distant at the undesirable spot designated outside the city limits to which a clear title cannot be obtained, brings this sham and vaunted philanthropic pledge of restitution into clearer light. No, as our special correspondent pointed out some weeks ago, Tulsa is not penitent nor does she intend to make restitution to her outraged colored citizens. Generous individuals will no doubt do what they can, but not Tulsa as a whole nor in any great part. Help must therefore be given our brethren there from the outside. The Monitor realizing this started a Tulsa Relief Fund to which the contributions have been small. We hope DECEITFULNESS Deceitfulness is one of the lowest of human vices. You didn't know it was a vice? Well it is and among the lowest and meanest of vices. Judas 'has always been looked upon as a despicable character, because of his treachery, but underlying his treachery was deceit. Beware of the deceitful man or woman. It you are a deceitful person get rid of your deceitfulness before it unnoes you as it certainly will sooner or later. CURRENT AND OTHERWISE I am more than glad that Jack Johnson is out of Prison. I now trust he will find his levels of life, make his last fight and then go out into the oblivion that inevitably awaits him. I like sports. I bewail, however, the situations of 'obscene professionalism to which many of its phases have fallen. Boxing is a healthful sport. Professional prize-fighting has gone about as low as it is possible for it to sink, I imagine. I am one who does not think that a Negro champion is in any way a necessary adjunct to the upbuilding of our particular species of mankind. I don't think the "color line" will be wiped out by the fists of any colored fellow no matter how strongly and skillfully he might use them. And yet if it will break up the prize-fighting game if a black pugilist should win the championship I am for a black champion. I, for one, am heartily tired of the yelping of the American white man about the stand he feels he must assume to maintain the integrity of his kind. In one breath he feels free to discant on the close relationship of the Negro to the gorilla and in the next breath he flatly refuses to permit the best white brute to engage in a fistic encounter with the best black brute—mind I am speaking of prize-fighters—engage in a fistic encounter to establish the question of superiority, whatever that may finally mean. There is no color in brutes. Jack Dempsey is as low in the social scale as it is possible for a human being to sink and Jack Johnson is about in the same boat. So what is the difference? Speaking of superiority I- notice that Japan has been invited to sit at President Harding's disarmament conference. Mighty risky business. There may be a Japanese point of view to contend with. What then? What if it should mark the beginning of the end "white supremacy?" The Japanese are sure to have their say. Is not human supremacy the thing after all to be sought by the nations of the earth? Let us hope that this sea will prevail at the proposed conference. those who will support relief through The Monitor, since the need has been so forcibly placed before them will do so promptly and the amount whatever it is will be sent to the Colored Citizens' Relief Committee. If others desire to send their contributions directly to the Relief Committee, well and good. The point is we must send relief to our brethren in Tulsa. We hope the churches in Omaha and Nebraska will cheerfully comply with the request of the committee and present the needs of Tulsa's riot victims who are suffering through no fault of their own to their congregations next Sunday. EDITORIAL SQUIBBS EDITORIAL SQUARES Leading one's self is a big job. Forgetting yesterday is great sport —for some people. America first when she's right, when she's wrong, take your pick. The comet came, saw and then went on about its business. We would like to know if President Harding's disarmament conference will include a discussion of a plan to disarm American army officers who shoot down unarmed yet "impudent niggers"? Show your sympathy with your suffering brethren in Tulsa thousands of whom have lost everything they possess by contributing as generously as you can to their needs. HEAPING UP WRATH Members of the notorious organization which is taking the law into its own hands and administering punishment to those upon whom it looks with disfavor are heaping up wrath for a day of vengeance. Horse-whipping and tarring and feathering women and priests is neither chivalrous nor heroic, and this lawless organization revived in the south and seeking membership in the north and west has as one of its tenes and protection of womanhood. The members of the organization MAY get away with acts of violence towards hapless Negroes, but when it undertakes condemnation of white women and CATCHY NEW SONG THE MONITOR is in receipt of a song entitled "Now President Harding has His Seat," words by Cora M.

CONVENTION The following Resolution is really an address to the Country and is considered the most important act of each Conference. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its Twelfth Annual Conference, meeting in this great crisis of the world's reconstruction, would remind the nation that from our very first conference we have planted our agitation and action upon a careful and thorough investigation of the truth concerning the Negro problem. Often when we have published in our organ, THE CRISIS, and in letters and articles in the press, our findings and conclusions, we have been accused of exaggeration. Today we stand vindicated before the world in the revelations of Georgia, and knowing that Georgia is little if any worse than half a dozen other states, we solemnly adjure this nation to give more serious attention and more earnest action to this festering social sore. Lynching and mob violence against Negroes still looms as our most indefensible national crime and unless the present administration takes early action by legal enactment it will stand condemned of all thoughtful citizens north and south. Increasingly the Negro at Washington, Chicago, and Tulsa has been forced to give his life in self defense. No man can do less for his family and people and it is a cruel campaign of lying that represents this fight for life as organized aggression. Negroes are not fools. Eleven million poor laborers do not seek war on a hundred million powerful neighbors. But they cannot and will not die without raising a hand when the nation lets its offscourings and bandits insult, harry, loot and kill them. What is the cause of the new conflict of race in America? It is not simply a growing sense of manhood on the part of the blacks, it is increased lack of sympathy and sense of justice on the part of the whites and this arises from the snapping of those human bonds which must exist between neighbors. If the Negro child is not educated; if the Negro is segregated in federal departments and Oklahoma cities; if he is publicly insulted by "Jim Crow" cars; if he is treated unjustly in the courts as in the twelve pending Arkansas peonage cases; if in the army and navy the Negro is grossly and continually discriminated against and faces plans for further discrimination in the national guard; if he has no voice in the administration of the law especially as to labor, agriculture and education; and if finally the nation is being honeycombed by secret societies like the Klu Klux Klan, who stir up race hatred by innuendo and appeal to the lowest brute instincts—if all these things are done, how can we help but kill the human sympathy, the spirit of the Prince of Peace, the strong faith and the desire for humble effective co-operation which alone can save civilization? Men and women of America, the program of those who would save America from bitter racial hatred and conflict and murder is short and simple: 1. The Right to vote under the same conditions as other persons vote. 2. A federal law against lynching and mob violence. 3. Justice for the convicted peons in Arkansas. 4. Equitable treatment for Negro soldiers and sailors. 5. Abolition of the "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic. 6. Free public schools for Negro children. 6. Free public schools for Negro children. 7. The appointment of an inter-racial commission, of high class, fair-minded men and women representing both races, to make a scientific survey of race relations. 9. The weight of our influence to secure justice for the natives of Africa particularly in the former German colonies. 10. A world wide attempt to promote peace through inter-racial understanding and equality, and through a wider recognition of the basic identity of race and labor problems. The TOWNSEND GUN CO.
