LIFT TOO State Historical Society COLORED VOTERS UNITE TO DEFEAT TWO CONGRESSMEN Republican Representatives from Delaware and New Jersey Who Opposed Dyer Bill Are Defeated. SENATOR DUPONT IS RETIRED National Advancement Association Wages Vigorous Campaign Against Opponents of Anti-Lynching Measure. New York, Nov. 17—Two Congressmen who voted against the Dyed Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives have been retired by colored votes and defeated in their candidacy for reelection, according to announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The two Congressmen are: Caleb R. Layton, Republican Representative at large from the State of Delaware, and R. Wayne Parker, Republican Representative from the 9th New Jersey District. Delaware colored voters were roused by the untiring and courageous work of Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson who put the facts before them, organized meetings, conferred with newspaper editors and was instrumental in bringing the N. A. A. C. P. speakers into the campaign against Dr. Layton. Against both Dr. Layton and Mr. Parker, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People conducted a persistent and insistent campaign. The Secretary of the Association, James Weldon Johnson, and the Assistant Secretary, Walter F. White, both went to Wilmington where they spoke before mass meetings organized by the local N. A. A. C. P., in conjunction with the Anti-Lynching Crusaders and the Independent Citizens' League. N. A. A. C. P. press releases were sent to white and colored newspapers throughout New Jersey, informing their readers that Representative Parker had voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives and urging that he be rebuked in the election. N. A. A. C. P. branches in Parker's district were also urged to do all in their power to defeat him. The entire Republican ticket was elected in Delaware with the exception of Representative Layton, who voted against the Dyer Bill, and Senator DuPont, whose defeat is partly due to his having persisted, despite warnings from colored voters, in trying to force Layton upon voters who would not have him. According to figures from the official 1922 registration, the Republicans had a margin of 7000. There were, however, 12,000 registered colored voters in Delaware and these proved decisive. James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., issued the following brief statement in comment upon these results: "Colored voters had an issue in this election and they made the most of it. That issue was the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and on the strength of it they retired two men who voted against it and who might, but for colored votes, have been returned to Congress. That is a convincing demonstration of power. This should be borne in mind in watching the Senate's action in reference to the Dyer Bill. The Republican margin has been reduced. But the Republicicans can still enact the Dyer Bill if they want to. They and they alone are to be held strictly responsible for the fate of the Dyer Bill by colored voters." CONSTANTINOPLE IS SIEZED BY TURKS; ALLIES ORDERED OUT Nationalists Liberate Turkish Capitol by Sudden Coup and Demand that European Imperialists Get Out of Country. Constantinople, Nov. 17—(Crusader Service.) The National government has seized control of Constantinople, Queen City of the world. Rafet Pasha is the new Governor, and Hamid Bey, the representative of the Angora government, has ordered the Allied troops out. In a note to the entente he demands evacuation of the allied forces. The Nationalists have announced the infamous capitulations, whereby Turkish courts were prevented from trying European criminals who had to be turned over to the various consular officers for trial, abolished. The Nationalists are also insisting on the abolition of interalled control of the police customs, railroads and the censorship over Turkish newspapers in Constantinople. The Turks have called to the colors their invasion of Mosul, in Mesopotamia, from which the British are now retiring as fast as they can before the victorious Turk advance. Meanwhile the military situation of the Allies is said to be very weak. THE MONITOR Their troops are few and scattered, while the Turkish Nationalists have large forces in the area of well-equipped and highly enthusiastic forces. Moreover, Constantinople is now Kemalist through and through. The police are Kemalist, the people are Kemalist, and the only government functioning is Kemalist. ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets Russell Taylor, Pastor Though Sunday was a dreary, disagreeable day, our services were quite inspiring. The Sunday School is still increasing in interest, and much zeal is being put into the work of the classes by the deeper study of the lessons by the teaching force. Until further notice the Christian Endeavor Society will convene at 7:30 instead of 7:15, and will be held in conjunction with the regular evening services. The topic will be duly discussed, and in addition there will be specially prepared papers and addresses by members of the society and others. Accordingly, on Sunday evening, the topic being, "How We Can Help Home Mission Work," Mrs. Grace Hutton, who became very conversant with the work of our Board of Home Missions in Porto Rico during her stay there, will tell us some of her observations. Mrs. L. McCullough will also read a paper. The meeting will be led by Miss Jamie Chandler. The pastor will have for his Sunday morning discussion, "A Dissertation on the Ninety-third Psalm." WAR SAVINGS STAMPS PAYABLE JANUARY 1st May Be Re-Invested in Safe Government Securities in Form of Treasury Certificates Washington, Nov. 17—War Savings Stamps of the series of 1918 become due and payable on January 1, 1923. The people who bought these stamps will receive their full face value upon redemption and will find that the money they saved five years ago had earned every year about four per cent compounded interest. In order to afford holders of War Savings Stamps an opportunity to continue their investment in a safe government security the Treasury Department is offering an exchange of War Savings Stamps for Treasury Savings Certificates. The certificates are issued in denominations of $25, $100 and $1,000 maturity value, and sold for $20.50, $82 and $820, respectively. Holders of War Savings Stamps can get them at these prices upon application thru their own banks or their post offices. Exchanges will be made as of Jan. 1, 1923, upon applications presented between Nov. 15, 1922, and Jan. 15, 1923. Immediate payment will be made in cash of any difference due the holder of War Savings Stamps if he takes the largest possible amount of Treasury Savings Certificates on the exchange. The growing inclination of the people to save and their desire to find a safe re-investment for their money leads Treasury officials to believe that a large part of the six hundred million dollars in War Savings Stamps soon to become due will be exchanged for Treasury Savings Certificates. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON The congregation is getting ready for the Every Member Canvass which is to be made Sunday afternoon, Nov. 26. All the Episcopal churches of the country make their canvass on that day. The purpose is to enlist every member of the Church in some active Christian work and to secure a definite weekly pledge from every member for the support of the local and general missionary work of the Church. All organizations of St. Philp's are actively at work. These include the Woman's Auxiliary which meets every Thursday afternoon; the Altar Guild, which meets each Tuesday night; the Girl's Friendly Society, which meets Monday afternoon; and the Men's Club which meets the second Monday night in each month. The services on Sunday are at 7:30, 10, and 11 a. m., and 8 p. m. FIGHT SEGREGATION AT TRAINING SCHOOL Washington, D. C., Nov. 17.—Disputing the injection of race prejudice at the citizens' military training camp at Plattsburg, N. Y., the Charles E. Young Post of the American Legion entered a protest to the War Department here last week. Appealing for "equal rights for the race" the letter says in part: "As American citizens whose history in the land antedates the Mayflower, and people whose blood stains every battleground in the nation's history, and above all, as warriors whose records stand unchallengeable, we feel justified in protesting."

CAROLINA The General Assembly and Officials Support a State-Wide Program For Developing Better Citizenship. MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE Speakers Include Dr. Wallace Buttrick, E. C. Brooks, N. C. Newbold, Trevor Arnett, State and Visiting Educators. (By Wm. Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va., Nov. 17—That North Carolina citizens, both white and colored, have succeeded in finding a way to keep together by working together for a common, worthy cause—the care and nurture of God-given children—was the opinion expressed by Dr. Wallace Buttrick of New York, president of the General Education Board, at the recent two-day conference on North Carolina's Program of Negro Education, which was held in Raleigh, N. C., under the auspices of the Division of Negro Education in the State Department of Public Instruction. Progress Through Confidence Dr. Brooks outlined the progress which North Carolina has made in Negro education during four years. Early in his administration, at an educational conference representative Negroes issued their "Declaration of Principles." In this document they New York, Nov. 17—H. F. Burleigh, the eminent Negro musician and composer, has written a letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in which he urges the co-operation of colored and white people in preserving from debasement in jazz the musical treasure of the Negro Spirituals. Mr. Burleigh's letter, as made public by the Advancement Association, says in part: "The growing tendency of some of our musicians to utilize the melodies of our Spirituals for fox-trots, dance numbers and semi-sentimental songs is. I feel, a serious menace to the artistic standing and development of the race. "The these melodies are our prized possession. They were created for a definite purpose and are designed to demonstrate and perpetuate the deepest aesthetic endowment of the race. They are the only legacy of slavery days that we can be proud of—our one, priceless contribution to the vast musical product of the United States. "In them we have a mine of musical wealth that is everlasting. Into their making poured the aspiration of a race in bondage, whose religion—mentally felt—was their whole hope and comfort, and the only vehicle through which their inner spirits soared free. "They rank with the great folk-music of the world and are among the loveliest of chanted prayers. "Now, since this body of folk-song expresses the soul of a race, it is a holy thing. To use it and not artificialize or cheapen it calls for reverence and true devotion to its spiritual significance. Yet these delinquent musicians contemptuously disregard these traditions for personal, commercial gain. "Their use of the melodies debases the pure meaning of the tunes, converting and perverting them into tawdry dance measures or maudlin popular songs. Their work is meretricious, sacrilegious and wantonly destructive. It offends the aesthetic feelings of all true musicians—white and black—and because some of us have endeavored never to sink the high standard of our art nor commercialize the sacred heritage of our people's song, but rather to revere and exalt it as a vital proof of the Negro's spiritual ascendancy over oppression and humiliation, we feel, deeply, that the wilful, persistent, superficial distortion of our folk-songs is shockingly reprehensible. "Skilled musicians can detect instantly the flagrant misappropriation the amateurish perversion. There are others, the unskilled musicians and particularly our young people who cannot detect the misuse of these prayers; who cannot distinguish the false from the true, the makeshift from the real, the spurious from the genuine, the theatric from the spiritual and who are thus being fed with a wrong idea, a false valuation of all made a vigorous appeal for co-operation, mutual confidence and racial integrity. They spoke against the appeal to force which encourages mob law. This declaration restored mutual confidence and made it possible for white and colored citizens to go forward in education. "This declaration," said Dr. Brooks, "brought co-operation, peace and harmony. The repudiation of appeal to force captured the hearts and minds of the best people in North Carolina. Of course, there are still injustices and defects. To go forward, however, we must have standards by which we can measure our own progress. Today Negroes in North Carolina are confident men and women. It is the duty of the State to back up the confidence of these people. North Carolina has confidence in its colored people." Signs of Educational Progress Director Newbold declared that North Carolina has kept faith with the colored people and "made good" in its State educational program, involving $1,525,000, and in its Negro public-school teachers' salary program, involving $1,500,000. Need of Closer Co-Operation Director Newbold emphasized "two distinct facts: (1) that the program of North Carolina for Negro education as far as it is initiated by the State government and is carried forward by State authority is functioning in a fairly satisfactory manner; (2) that many local communities have not been aroused to do their duty in giving Negro children public-school facilities; Conscious of its shortcomings in the past, North Carolina now wants to do its duty." our beautiful melodic inheritance—unless this pernicious musical trickery is stopped. "How can it be stopped? These gentlemen seem not to realize that they offend the deepest sentiments of a race. They seem incapable of comprehending the enormity of the offense and the far-reaching effect upon future generations. True, these melodies are public property and there is no real means of protecting them except throughgrace pride. "Have these men sufficient race pride to forego the cheap success and the easy money? Have they sufficient racial pride to refuse to prostitute the inherent religious beauty of our Spirituals? Can we not convince them that it is ail in bad taste; that it is like polluting a great, free fountain of pure melody? "In the interests of millions of colored people who love and revere the Spirituals and who believe these old melodies can be an essential factor in the cultural evolution of the race as well as a powerful stimulus to its higher artistic development, and in the interest of millions of white people who love and revere the Spirituals and who believe that the 'Negro stands at the gates of human culture with hands laden full with musical gifts', I earnestly solicit your help and cooperation in a determined effort to persuade our misguided friends to cease their desecrating work and to join with us in honoring, and protecting from any secular or degenerate use the Negro Spirituals—the only songs in America that conform to the scientific definition of folk-songs. "I have the honor to remain, Very truly yours, (Signed) H. T. Burleigh." WASHNIGTON SEES RACE WAR IN NEAR EAST Washington, Nov. 17—(Crusader Service) As the reports from Constantinople reached Washington telling of the coup of Mustapha Kemal in seizing control of Constantinople, and of the new demands made by the Turkish Nationalists, the belief that the Near East was trembling on the verge of a mighty explosion that might line up the colored races of Asia and Africa against their white imperialistic oppressors and involve a number of European powers were freely expressed. The more conservative observers were inclined, however, to the belief that an open breach would be avoided although admitting that conditions were serious. They declare that Europe is in no condition to cross swords with Islam and that England and France would almost certainly do any political retreat necessary to save a break.

BATTLING SIKI IS ROBBED OF TITLE; BARRED BY BRITAIN French and British Governments Act to Save White Prestige Apparently Endangered In the Prize Ring. SUSPENDED FOR 9 MONTHS International Boxing Federation Asked to Deprive Senegalese of Title of Lightgt Heavy Weight Championship of the World. Paris, France, Nov. 10—(Crusader Service) An attempt is to be made to save white prestige. Europen boxers are henceforth to be protected by law and the action of their governments from the mauling fists of the conqueror of Georges Carpentier, the best product that the European ring has turned out in half a century. A way has at last been found to prevent the Ski-Beckett bout and thus save the British Empire the embarrassment to its brutally built up prestige of having its foremost boxer knocked cold by a member of one of the "subject races." The British Home Office last week drew the color line around the prize ring, and forbade the Joe Beckett-Battling Siki match in that country. The fight was scheduled for Dec. 7, and was the outcome of the recent Beckett-Moran bout where it was arranged that Siki should fight the winner. However, as Carpentier had often used Beckett for a doormat it was the general opinion that Beckett would not have the shadow of a chance with the conqueror of Carpentier. Meanwhile, white prestige had suffered a tremendous setback in Africa and Asia as a result of the Senegalese's victory over the French idol, and the British imperialists who do not want their rule challenged in Africa and Asia by "subject peoples," aroused to their importance and power was at its wits end to find a reason for preventing the bout. Then came a fine excuse in the fracas between Siki and the manager of one of two fighters in a bout in Paris Friday night. Siki, who acted as second for one of the men, resented certain remarks of the manager of the other fighter, and, losing his temper, assaulted the manager. But the London Home Office had already taken action against the Beeget-Siki bout, and thus lost a fine opportunity to make one of the familiar British "moral issues" out of their action in drawing the color line. Furthermore, one Home Office official was indiscreet enough to make the following statement for publication: "In contests between men of color and white men the temperaments of the contestants are not comparable. Moreover, all sorts of passions are aroused.Such contests, considering the very large number of men of color in the British Empire, are considered against the highest national interest and they tend to arouse passions which it is inadvisable to stimulate." In other words, the victories of colored men over the pride and hope of the white imperialist peoples, tend to arouse aspirations and hopes in the breasts of the oppressed colored peoples of the colonies. So the French Boxing Commission, under pressure from both the imperialist governments of France and of England, have hastily grabbed up the attack made by Siki on a manager as an excuse for depriving the Senegalese battler of the title of light heavyweight champion of the world and European heavy weight champion, which he won at the time he knocked out Carpentier. HONORS IN MEDICINE To a Negro girl, Miss Alice Ball, belongs the honor of contributing to one of the most important medical discoveries of recent years—the use of chaumnooga oil in the treatment and cure of leprosy. When the laboratory experiments at the University of Hawaii, Hawaiian Islands, were carried on, Miss Ball was offered an appointment as chemist. She accepted the position, devoting herself to the work so earnestly that she later died as the hesult o fa breakdown in health, without knowing that the work to which she had given herself had been successful.—The American Missionary. DR. ABBOTT AND THE NEGRO Dr. Abbott was also intensely interested in Negro education, but while a progressive in religion, he was a reactionary on the race problem. While a radical in the theology, he was a conservative when handling the strivings of the black man. He believed in the industrial, but not the higher education of the Negro, and did not think that the time was ripe for the Negro to press his claims to civic and political recognition. We do not think that this was due so much to prejudice per se as to lack of information about the Negro. In a talk with him while he was college pastor at Harvard for a few weeks we found him frank, courteous and cordial but he had not known intimately Negro men of real scholarship like Dr. Alexander Crummell and Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, nor had he read of the distinguished foreign Negroes of the eighteenth century. He did not seem to know of the civilization that black men erected in Egypt, Ethiopia and Timbustoo. Possibly he had heard of these things, but had not taken them seriously or investigated them for himself, and that is why perhaps a semiphilosophical thinker in religion and theological thought, the great divine was only a surface thinker in ethno-logical thought. But we must not criticize Dr. Abbot too severely. He came upon the scene of action and arrived at manhood's state long before the researches of Sergi, Ripley, Boaz, Finot, Chamberlain, Weiner and Major Felix Du Bois revealed the part played by black men in American, medieval and ancient civilization, in an age when Gregorel's Enquiry was not taken seriously in America and in an age when the American translation omitted the splendid tribute to the Negro in Volney's Ruins and the Meditation on the Fate of Ancient Empires. We must judge men not from the light we have, but from the light that they had, remembering that they, too, were the product of their environment and were influenced by the Zeitgeist.—The Negro World. PRESIDENT NAMES WALTER COHEN FOR NEW ORLEANS JOB Prominent Louisiana Politician Is Slated for Cromptrollship of Customs—A Coveted Federal Plum. POSITION PAYS GOOD SALARY Senate Must Confirm the Appointment —Name Presented When Congress Convenes—First Nominee in South Since Roosevelt Washington, Nov. 17—Announcement was made here Saturday, Nov. 4, that Walter L. Cohen, prominent Louisiana politician, would be named as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans. President Harding is expected to send his name to the Senate for confirmation as soon as the Senate reconvenes. The position pays $5,000 a year. The appointment is the first presidential one given to a colored man for a post in the South since the Roosevelt administration. Taft, in his inaugural address, decreed that no colored man would be given a Federal job in those communities where objections might be raised, and this excluded all from Southern positions. President Harding announced the same policy. When the Cohen appointment was announced as probable a few months ago it was said that the democratic senators from Louisiana would raise no objection thereto and that he had the backing of prominent politicians and business men in New Orleans. Coming on the eve of the election, many volunteered the opinion that the appointment was announced to ward off threatened lukewarmness among many colored voters in the North and West. Mr. Cohen has been a conspicuous figure in Louisiana Republican politics for about thirty years. He was a delegate to national conventions in 1912, 1916, 1920, and was Register of the Land Office during the Roosevelt administration. Windsor, Ont., Nov. 17.—Doubt that a championship bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills would be permitted in Ontario was expressed here last week by officials of an athletic club mentioned in this connection recently.

"The Emperor Jones" sat in his dressing room Thursday night and in words plain and earnest demonstrated that "emperors" 'black or white are crowned by their own efforts and what they believe. Charles Gilpin, "The Emperor Jones" did not write "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul," but those are his sentiments nevertheless. "I am a full blooded Negro, and I am proud of it," declared Gilpin. "There is no hyphen that can be affixed to my claim to being an American. People of my race, like me, might be called Afro-Americans, but to affix that hyphen you must go back 300 years. We Americans of the Negro race know nothing of Africa, we have no foreign affiliations, no ax to grind for any other country than the one in which we live and were born. "I'm proud I am a black man because there is no drop of white blood in me, and this pride is occasioned because of the fact, that no one knowing this, can attribute to me, any grounds for desiring to be other than what I am—an American—a black American. No Desire for Africa "The time is coming when there will be a sorting in this melting pot as they call it—and the things that won't melt into Americans for America will be separated, and those that are Americans, white and black, will know each other as such. "If you put all the hyphenated Americans out of this country today, you would have more Negroes left than anything else. We didn't come here as immigrants with a desire to make a fortune and return to our own people. Our forefathers were brought to America against their will—and now we are as true Americans as the descendants of the Pilgrims. We have no desire to go to any other county or do anything for any other country than our own. "Social equality? That talk is all rot. There is no social equality in the Negro race. The business or professional man of either race does not find his companions among the illiterate and ignorant of his color. It is my belief that the Negro should be by reason of the fact that he is an American citizen and taxpayer, be given equal rights, as an individual." "If he's got the stuff in him to make a big man of himself—a credit to the country in which he lives, he shouldn't be hindered by race, color, or nationality. The Negro as I see him doesn't want favors, he doesn't want to be regarded as an object of charity—and he doesn't want social equality, if he has good sense, for that can never be, and should never be. Give him a chance to work out his destiny unharmed as an individual, and no man can ask for more. "But I'm not a social uplifer, don't get that idea," laughed Girlpin. "I'm an actor who has taken bits in everything from a honky-tonk to a tent show. Neither am I in the show business for art's sake. It's a cold blooded business proposition with me. I'm here to make a living for myself and family. I'm going to put every ounce of the best that is in me into my work—for it pays me dividends. If I ran a bootblack shop in Omaha—I'd have the best one in town, you can bet on that. I intend to stick to the stage, I am studying all the time, and when I get through with it I'm going to buy a small business in Chicago. Not large enough to cause me worry, but big enough to keep me busy. If the theatre ceases to pay me what I think I'm worth as an actor, then I'll go to work at something else."

THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE ISN'T IT QUEER? WE are not particularly interested in the prize fight. We believe that a species of savagery that should have no place in Christian civilization. It belongs to cave men and the jungle. It brutalizes those who take part in it and the spectators who cheerfully part with an almost fabulous sum to witness two trained human brutes batter up and bruise each other. But our much vaulted "white" civilization not only tolerates it, but encourages it. We would be perfectly content to have the so-called superior race have a monopoly of this brutal sport while our people gave themselves up to really worth while things but since members of our group have elected to take on this form of civilization and enter the prize ring, aspirants for these high fistic honors should strive to be the best in their class. And they have. There is a long and illustrious line of black prize fighters who have successfully won and held fistic championships here and abroad. But it strikes us as mighty queer that in these latter days of high living and low thinking the only time even mild objections are raised to prize fighting is when some black champion knocks out an erstwhile white champion. Ah then the very foundations of civilization are threatened. Good psiouls souls are thrown into moral spasms. "The basest passions are aroused, etc." But when the decision goes the other way, "this manly sport, between well-trained fighting machines, etc., etc," should be encouraged. Isn't it queer? Or should we call this peculiar attitude of mind by a different name? GETTING INTO THE GAME GETTING INTO THE GAME ELECTION returns from several states show beyond the slightest doubt that the colored American is getting into the political game right. In no less than five states have members of our race been elected to state legislatures by substantial majorities, while in others aspirants for legislative honors have been defeated only by narrow margins. In addition to this several have been elected to other offices. For example, St. Louis elected one justice of the peace and four constables. Other cities have elected councilmen. The showing is good. Moreover, the strength of the race vote has been shown in returning proven friends to office in several states where contests were close and the vote of the colored American was the decisive factor. Three republicans, two congressmen and one senator were defeated by the active opposition of colored voters because of their hostility to the Dyer Bill and democrats chosen in their stead. This independence of action is to be commended. It shows that our people are waking up, realizing their political strength and getting into the game right. ENCOURAGING SIGNS AMONG the many encouraging signs which point to a better understanding between the races in this country is the fact that so many of the Christian bodies have classes in which they are studying the American Negro. They are reading books and magazines written by our people and are seriously studying this important question. As a result of this systematic and intelligent study many are frankly admitting that they are getting a larger vision and an entirely different viewpoint. The trouble has been and is that the white man has flattered himself in believing that he knows the colored American, while as a matter of fact, he is wholly ignorant of him. He knows nothing whatever, broadly speaking, of the homes of culture and refinement among our people, or of what we have accomplished and are accomplishing in science, industry, literature, art, music, and other lines of honorable endeavor. These study classes are opening the eyes of many and will have a most salutary effect.

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY A movement which is working for good and not receiving the appreciation it deserves it that of promoting better feeling and clearer understanding between the white and colored people of the South. The work is being done by what is known as the Southern Commission on Interracial Co-operation, with headquarters in Atlanta. Two-thirds of the counties of the thirteen Southern states have local organizations of representatives of the white and colored people, respectively. Kentucky has recently supplied two illustrations of the benefits which accrue. At Madisonville when a mob formed to seek out a drug-crazed Negro who had murdered the sheriff, the commission met and it was soon clear to everybody that the guilt was that of an individual and not that of a class. The Negroes joined in the search for the assassin. They deplored the act. Sheriff Hanson had been friendly to the Negroes and the friendship had been reciprocal. The guilty man was legally tried and legally executed. The mob had considered burning the Negro section and precipitating a race war. The saner course was followed because the interracial commission could appeal to public sentiment in a sensible way. At Corbin a Negro was wrongly accused of cutting a white man. The cutting was not even by a member of the race of the accused. The ring-leaders of the mob which formed and herded all of the Negroes of the town was sent to the penitentiary through the efforts of the interracial commission. Mob law is anarchy. It brutalizes the community. It lowers the standards of whites and blacks. It discourages the ambitions of Negroes to be good citizens. It is anarchy and has no place in civilization. Everybody knows these things, but it takes organization to make the knowledge effective.—Louisville Times OUR HISTORY To the average Negro mind, our history starts back in slavery somewhere, on one of the farms of our former masters. He is unable to think beyond the Civil war; and such a thing as family history is of no moment whatever. The truthfulness of this statement makes it all the more pittable. History means more than a long list of personal acquaintances. History deals not only in years, but in hundreds of years, yea thousands of years. And this is where we lose interest. The farther we delve into the past, the less interested we become in what is found to be truths. Indeed few of us are even interested in our own family tree beyond two generations. But we shall soon overcome this lack of interest. We shall be interested very soon in our history as a race of people. Soon we shall be applying ourselves to determine to what tribe or family we belong, with as much diligence as we now seek to know our neighbor's business. Our curiosity is about to be aroused. We are about to be shaken from our deep sleep of indifference. Our race consciousness is about to get started. Perhaps, we are somebody! Perhaps the most reliable and effective agency yet called into service is the Society for the Study of Negro History. This organization will meet on the 23rd and 24th instant in Louisville, where a program of research and study will be arranged and released. Membership in this organization is solicited. This organization is in earnest. It is headed by Dr. Carter Woodson, one of our best students of race history, if we are to equip ourselves with an adequate answer for all the insurs offered us because we have no history, our membership in the society is perhaps the best means available just now. Let us become more curious. Let us become curious about ourselves; whence we came, who and what we are, and why. Once we know ourselves better, we may think more of ourselves. Begin now to get a true line on our history." The Pittsburgh Courier. LEARNING, TOO And the Negro vote helped to knock out Miller because he failed absolutely to recognize that there was such an element in the state. Negroes now vote for men and measures that recognize their existence, and give them a share in the spoils of victory. And that is real good common sense.—The Buffalo (N. Y.) American. SOME ELECTION RESULTS Five Colored Men Are Elected to Lega Islatures from Different States— Dyer and Madden Win, and Angeorge Losses. New York New York City, Nov. 5—Rev. R. N. Bolden, A. M. E. Zion minister, failed to be elected to the Legislature by 3000 votes. Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, of New York City, who last spring nominated Emil Holley, of the same city, to a cadetship at the United States Naval Academy, was among those defeated for re-election Tuesday. New Jersey Newark, Nov. 5—Oliver Randolph was elected to the Legislature in Randolph county. He ran 5,112 above the nearest Democrat. Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Nov. 5—Andrew F Stevens and John C. Asbury were reelected to the Legisglature. Illinois Chicago, Nov. 5—S. B. Turner, editor of Illinois Idea, and A. H. Roberts, was elected to the Legislature. Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer, white, author of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, was returned from Chicago and Martin C. Madden, white, from the Black Belt of Chicago. Massachusetts Boston, Nov. 5-Matthew Bullock was defeated in election to Legislature ROYAL CIRCLE MEMBERS AND PUBLIC--ATTENTION I have learned since leaving Omaha for a few weeks that some persons who are leaders of other fraternities and insurance companies are spreading propaganda throughout the city that I had closed the office in Omaha, run off with all the money, that the Insurance Commissioners at Lincoln had stopped The Royal Circle from doing business in Omaha, that the Order had gone down, etc., all of which is false, and can be investigated from any source and found to be false. This propaganda has simply been spread to hurt the Order because it has added in Omaha in six months over 1500 members and is going to continue to add them in spite of all talk. This means that on my return to Omaha the last of the month that I will stay until The Royal Circle Hospital is established which will be the first of the year, then all the propaganda put out will amount to nothing. Those who are knocking and making false statements know that the moment a hospital is put there, they will have to change their ways and give the people something for their money instead of taking it all themselves. The Royal Circle gives its members the benefits when living and all alike. It benefits the masses and not the classes. This propaganda was put out to impede the progress of the Circle and to keep the membership there from running to the 2000 mark when a hospital will be put in Omaha. We will have the 2000 by the first of the year—WATCH US. * The office was closed because I, as Supervisor of the Western States, would be on the road a great deal, and all Secretaries would make their reports direct to the Supreme Office and not to a branch office, which applies to all jurisdictions and which saves a great deal of money as this expense was unnecessary. These things are THE MONITOR why the Royal Circle leads all in taking care of its members, because there is no waste of money to benefit a few. Only last week a Free Clinic was opened in St. Louis to give members there free treatment and medicine. Hospitals in Memphis, Little Rock, Hot Springs, and one in Chicago and Omaha soon. This does not look like the Order has gone down or ever will go down as it is growing each day throughout the country. Supreme President to be in Omaha, Dec. 5th at St. John's Church. Dec. 6th, at St. John's Church A big Joint Meeting will be held at St. John's Church on Wednesday night, Dec. 6th, 1922, to make another large class of candidates which is expected to bring the membership of the Circle in Omaha to 2000 or more. The Supreme President and myself will be there and every member must be present and try and have at least ONE Candidate each to bring the membership to 2000 or more. The Triangle Council will also be organized on this night which is the same as a Grand Lodge. This degree will be given by the Supreme President for $1,50, which is the Grand Lodge Degree. All members are expected to take this degree. Joining fee for this night, $3.50. Members pay $1.25 per month and NO TAXES, and receive $7.00 per week for accident or sickness, $300.00 at death, a monument, free hospital treatment, the advantage of a Loan and Charity Department, Old Folks Home, School and Home for the Or- phans of members. $1.25 pays for all, and you have not a single TAX to pay throughout the entire year. The Circle is 15 years old, operating in all States, membership over 200,000. A. L. RICHMOND. Supreme Supervisor, Western States, DR. R. A. WILLIAMS, Supreme President.

You're truly. Omaha, Nebr., Sept. 14, 1922. What Madam E. A. Lawson's Acme Hair Grower has done for me. I have only used the Acme Hair Grower nine months. When I began I had falling hair, itching scalp, and dry tartar all combined. This is all cured, and my hair has begun to grow wonderfully, and I recommend Acme Hair Grower to the highest. You can publish this in your little book, and I will tell anyone who writes me. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 25, 1922. After having used every known advertised hair grower for years with no results, I fed Madam Lawson's hair grower. Her hair continued faithfully for six months. Now my hair is continued inches long. It was ten when I started. I believe every woman can grow her hair one half to two inches a month by using Madam Lawson's Grower. MRS. CLAUD SMITH, PRICES In other parts of the trade various lines of wraps and regular long coats, with fur trim, are gathering in a large part of the business. Their popularity is assured, and while the shorter models for street wear are acknowledged by manufacturers to be a decided hit, even though they have been going only a short while, the longer garments in this year's list are relied upon to bring in the major share of profit. Buyers are reported to have placed substantial orders for their needs, with little of the closeness in ordering that marked the early days of the dress season. Despite the ever growing popularity of fur coats for winter wear the balance of the fall and early winter season will still show a majority of women clad in fabric coats and wraps. The effort to bring back suits of the better sort to popularity is being continued with indifferent success by the higher priced suit houses, but the swing to short suits seems to threaten even the small success attained in this movement. SLEEVES ARE OF ALL TYPES Armcoverings in New Blouses Have Same Style as Used in Dresses —Fabrics Follow. The sleeves in the new blouses are of all types, every sleeve that is seen in dresses being represented. The fabrics, teo, follow the lead of dresses, as do collars and trimming. Silks of crepe weave as well as the blistered effects are prominent. All the shades of brown play an important part in the color scheme. Necklines are both collared and collariess, the latter being in slightly greater favor. Both bead and thread embroideries continue in unabated popularity. Jersey for Street Wear Jersey will be a popular fabric for street wear. An unusual model developed in this material comes in a very soft shade of green with collars, cuffs and belt of white kid.

Two rare specimens of the jeweler's art in bag making which have been imported to this country are of the satchel type. One has a mounting of chiseled silver, the bag itself being of silver gray doeskin. The other, which is made of black undressed kid, has a platinum mounting set with sapphires and rhinestones. There is an embroidered design decorating one side of the bag with certain parts being painted in sapphire blue to match the blue of the sapphire in the mounting. The most skilled workers in the leather industry are now busily embossing, carving, painting by hand and ornamenting with metal and stones the most finely dyed and finished leathers. Mountings of solid gold, gold washed silver and platinum continue to be favorites for the flat leather purse and card case. To give variety these metal pieces, which are hammered on as borders astride the edges of leather, are sometimes skillfully engraved. Hand carving and embossing and hand painting add a further variety to leathers which enter into the makeup of bags. Homepun Suit For fall wear an exceptionally attractive suit is of blue hunter-collared with fitch. Its straight box coat and beautifully cut skirt are distinctive and vastly different from the commonplace models of the early summer. The three-piece suit promises to be the piece de resistance of the winter's fashions, but it is possibly a little early for that variety of costume. Since the dress is of heavy material and the coat is of that same fabric, the chances are that the gown as a whole will be too heavy to serve through the fall months. However, when the time does come for its adoption, it will be found to have more of a place in the sun than it had even during last season when it could not be said to be greatly in the shade. Some of the dresses made of perfectly plain silks and those that are heavily woven recommend themselves most heartily for between-season wear. They are made merely of masses of drapery. They scorn trimming in any respect. They are built to accentuate the lines of the form and to stop at that. Many of them have been seen at the smart restaurants and upon the street, for they are the products of a late season which have recommended themselves most heartily to the wear of women who are looking for new things and smart things at this season of the year. WINDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD Here is one of the new walking dresses exhibited at a recent fashion show held in Chicago. It is in gray woolen fabric, trimmed in Japanese print, and shows the long skirt effect of the modes of 1922, including walking garments. CUTS THIRD TEETH AT 114 Former Slave Is Just Learning How to Read—Born on Christmas, 1807. St. Louis.—Ebbie Talbot, a half Indian and negro woman, who says she is one hundred and fourteen years old, is exhibiting her third set of teeth, of which she now has three. She has a paper, purporting to have been written by a person where she formerly lived who was in possession of the facts, which states that she was born in North Carolina on Christmas day, 1807. Born in slavery, she says she was more than fifty years old when she was emancipated. She does all her own housework and has cared for a twenty-seven-year-old paralytic since childhood. Her mind and faculties are unimpaired, and with a primer and the help of a neighbor she is learning to read. She is supported by the charity of neighbors and of others. GOOD FORM IN DRESS YOU may have read recently of a clergyman who sent a bride home from church because of what he considered the immodesty of her dress, and another well known divine assured the women of his parish that he would have them refused admittance to church, if they came clad in the extremes of fashion. Whether the styles of dress that these priests referred to were actually immodest doubtless depends on the point of view. But that they were inappropriate to church is unquestionable. To be dressed always in good taste does not necessarily mean that you must never indulge in the more extreme forms of the fashion, but that you should wear them never where they might give offense. For instance it is now in most localities perfectly customary for women young and old to wear low necks and short sleeves at evening entertainments. In fact in this country young, unmarried girls habitually wear lower evening gowns than their mothers—thong among well bred French women, unmarried girls are not so privileged. Now since this is customary it is not in bad taste, because it attracts no undue attention and causes no misjudgment. The same thing holds true in regard to bathing costumes. Had women worn the sort of bathing suits that they do now ten or twenty years ago, they would have been booted off the beaches. But times have changed and our bathing costumes have changed most emphatically. It does not mean that we have grown more lax. Doubtless the tightly laced, exaggerated figure of two decades ago would give more offense to the modern taste than the rather abbreviated bathing costumes. It is all a question of what we are used to. (Copyright.) Substantiated Claim. Many pleas come to the Treasury department for the redemption of money and Liberty bonds destroyed in various ways, and the department has to have a full statement in each case, authenticated and verified. Assistant Secretary Gilbert, who has general supervision in such matters, had laid on his desk a letter prepared by an under official and to be sent to a farmer. The farmer had complained that the cow had consumed a few hundred dollars' worth of Liberty bonds. The letter asked a few pertinent questions as to the destruction of this valuable paper, one of which was: "Why did the cow eat the bonds?" Back came the answer to the effect that it was a distinctive cow and had always had a decided liking for distinctive paper. The claim was paid. THE MONITOR Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER GIVE THE BEST TO GET the best from life you must give the best. Is whatever position you may be, there should be no reluctance to make a fair exchange in which measure for measure is given on both sides in absolute sincerity. That you should make a fashion of doing this encourages others who are taking note of you to do likewise. They find through experience that there comes with continued actions of this kind an inexpressible gladness which fills their hearts with friendship and lightens their countenances with sunny complacency. There are no pleasurable experiences of this sort felt by those who are constantly complaining about the short-comings of others, forgetful all the while of their own. You cannot feel the balmy air of spring mornings unless you go forth into the glorious outdoors and become a part of it, nor can you give to others if you have nothing to give. That you should waste your days in ignorance of this fundamental truth underlying happiness is a deplorable error, which, as the years pass softly over you, grazing your hairst and marking little lines upon your face, often becomes a burden almost too heavy for self-respect. You cannot have the best without divorcing from your heart all forms of selfishness, egotism, jealousy, covetousness, doubt and pride. Your kit of fine sentiments may be packed to the top, but unless you shall stoop, open the bag, take out each sentiment one by one and use them as a plumber uses his tools in daily life, the opportunity to get the best in life will never come to you. Like diamonds, such inspirations must be cut and polished to bring out their beauty, brilliancy and worth. High-born ideas, unless put to use at their birth, soon become rusty and of no value. In your privacy you may fondle them and dream of the wonderful things you intend to do, but if you replace them time and again in the old worn bundle without attempting to test their value in noble work you are not making an effort to get the best, or even a portion of the best, waiting anywhere for every man and woman willing to sacrifice, help others and give the best within them. A LITTLE grief, and much of joy Marks every day. A wealth of love without alloy, Along life's way. A little toll, a little pain. The glint of sun, the welcome rain, And then comes night. A peaceful rest at set of sun, A welcome home when work is done, And life's all right. A time to meet, a time to part; Friends come and go. Hand clasping hand, heart beats to heart, Comes joy, comes woe. The radiant light of clear blue skies, The welcome gleam of children's eyes, Make hearts grow light. A battle won for those loved best. And troubles, faced with merry jest, And life's all right. Long Crystal Drops Particularly Favored—Pearl Tassels, Antique Designs, Onyx Used. Earrings are deededly in vogue in Paris. The long crystal drops are particularly favored, more so than rings or hoops. There is a clever trick among French women of wearing one earring—a long one—dangling down over the shoulder, and the other ear without any decoration. Pearl tassels are favorite earrings. Of course, the idea is to have earrings for each costume, and sometimes women have more than one pair for a favorite frock. These harmonize in color and design with both the frocks with which they are to be used. There is a vogue for wearing earrings containing little portraits in miniature—of anybody one wishes, of course. With the present vogue for white, jade earrings of this lovely stone are of course in high favor. Old earrings or gold and silver are in demand and ancestral jewel cases as well as antique shops are being called on for them. There are some earrings made of onyx, set with pearls, that are tremendously effective. And with the revival of coral, anything of coral may be worn in the way of earrings. Brilliant Buttonry. Buttons of wood, brilliantly hand-painted, lend the needed touch of color to some of the new frocks, wraps and blouses. Originality finds expression in accessories of attire this season, as never before. Nothing too startling, nothing too undreamed of; provided always that its use is as unwarranted and as unrestrained in a way as the idea is unique. Tight-Fitting Sleeves. In contradistinction to the wide, flowing sleeve effects that are current now, the dresses of newest conception from abroad adopt the simple, tight-fitting sleeves of the tailor-made type of garment. This handling was noted in cloth tailored dresses, and again in soft silk and velvet modes. READ WHAT YOUR FRIENDS have to say of what Madam E. Hackley Lawson ACME HAIR GROWER has done for them.
