LIFTING LIFT TOO 5c a Copy BAPTISTS RE-ELECT CHICAGO PASTOR NATIONAL HEAD Doctor Williams Chosen By Great Convention Which Closes Epoch- Making Session at Los Angeles. OMAHAN AMONG OFFICERS President Urges Better Schools and Social and Economic Justice For the Race. (By the Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 27. — The forty-third annual convention closed here after what officials and delegates declared to be one of the finest sessions the convention has ever had. The attendance of delegates was large, many ministers having embraced the opportunity to bring their wives and families with them on this trip to beautiful California and they leave loud in their praises of the beauty and charm of Los Angeles, as well as the enterprise and hospitality of her people. Business of major proportions was transacted and the annual report of President L. K. Williams of Chicago, pictured a march of Christian progress and constructive effort on behalf of the body which was highly inspiring to the assembly. In his annual address, Dr. Williams touched, among other vital subjects, Missionary Endeavors, Home and Foreign, the Home Mission Board, better facilities and preachers for the rural population, the development of young men for the church, co-operation with standard Baptist organizations of the world, Christian Education, the new publishing house at Nashville, and migration, on which he said: War Helped Race "The World War helped the Negro, for it has made him conscious of his inherent powers and rich opportunities, and feels keenly the present world's unrest. Questioning these migrants you will find that this movement is a strike against an unsatisfactory order of things. He tells his own story. He wants better schools, equal civil rights, and justice in the courts. He wants higher wages and better living conditions; he wants better transportation accommodations and a just distribution of public funds to take care, of dependent members of his race; he wants the zebulishment of the convict lease system, and the end of a class of overseers, the passing of certain cropping, tenancy systems and non-settlement practices now in vogue in many localities. He wants freedom from fears of mobs and lynchers and from all group rule, visible or invisible; he desires safety and the guarantee of better police protection; he wants inter-facial misunderstanding and prejudice wiped out, and restored confidence in his white neighbor; he wants economic freedom, undisturbed industrial opportunities and in many cases better religious environments. Among the national officers elected was the Rev. E. H. McDonald, D.D., of Omaha, Nebraska, who was chosen for the position of assistant secretary. The Rev. L. K. Williams of Chicago was re-elected as president. WELL KNOWN WAITER DIES AT DES MOINES.

Tiner) HOW WE SHOULD FACE THE BIG PROBLEMS OF MIGRATION Original Oration Delivered by Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson, of Omaha, Nebraska, in the Oratorical Contest of the National Meeting of the Baptist Women's Missionary Society at Los Angeles, California, Friday, Sept. 7th, 1923. Every race and each generation has its problems which it must face and solve. Fifty-nine years ago, God heard the grounings of our forefathers, and moved the great heart of the immortal Abraham Lincoln to sign the Emancipation Proclamation that gave freedom to three millions of slaves, who, through Providence, were brought from the sunny shores of Africa to the sunnyland of the South, where they faithfully served for two hundred and fifty years. Scarcely had they sipped of the joy of freedom when they and their progeny were so-called heathen nations have been moved to compassion for the American Negro, why not the great compassionate God who is peculiarly in sympathy with the righteous when oppressed. It was He, who shook their slumbering consciousness and awoke it to all its miseries; by His Spirit, He moved them to unrest, to desire and seek a place of safety and opportunity. The country wondered at the great unrest and exodus. The South became alarmed and its Pharaohs said, "We will not let this people go!" "But," said they, "does not your Declaration of Independence for terests aside from the national or the common interests of mankind. The world now exacts all races that seek recognition to prove whether they are possessors of an operative social capacity which enables them to bring about social amelioration equal to other races that are contributing to ward the advancement of the world's civilization.

Individuals are hon- [Signature] MRS. M. H. WILKINSON MRS. M. H. WILKINSON ushered into a second form of slavery more wretched than the first; morally free and yet in bondage, without power or protection, citizens without suffrage, taxed without representation, a man in age, a boy in privilege. Had the South, with her great resources, measured up to her wonderful opportunities of making these faithful people a part of her constituency her economic condition today would be unparalleled instead of tottering on the brink of ruin! The social relations of humanity are such that one cannot, hurt others without inviting disaster to one's self. The problems of migration with the South must be faced on the square, not with the Ku Klux Klan. The Negro has lost faith in the South The World's War stimulated his morale and enlarged his vision; he therefore demands justice and the rights of a man and citizen. He has proven himself trustworthy as a servant, patriotic as a citizen, heroic as a soldier, unselfish in sacrifice for the country called his home. Still, he is burned and tortured and subjected to jimcorwism and hellish peonage. His human blood and burnt bones send up an abominable stench to God from the earth. You wonder why the migration? If The Annual Fall Game so-called heathen nations have been moved to compassion for the American Negro, why not the great compassionate God who is peculiarly in sympathy with the righteous when oppressed. It was He, who shook their slumbering consciousness and awoke it to all its miseries; by His Spirit, He moved them to unrest, to desire and seek a place of safety and opportunity. The country wondered at the great unrest and exodus. The South became alarmed and its Pharaohs said, "We will not let this people go!" "But," said they, "does not your Declaration of Independence for THE LORD OF THE RING your country say, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?" Our lives are in jeopardy, our liberty restrained, our happiness is chased away by the bitterness of our experiences." Had the South, at this time, repented and faced these victims of jealousy and prejudice with kindness and justice to better conditions, her large plantations would not be vacant today! Like every migrant, by night they had dreams and by day visions of the dawn of the new day, that would afford them more favorable opportunities. Their hearts were filled with hope and joy, for long oppression suppresses the spirit, dampens hope and kills aspiration. It is true many problems have arisen from their migration in a measure distressing and alarming. Whether these be religious, social, economic or political—there is a solution. It is a question for us now; how should we face these problems? A strong racial consciousness is necessary. The people of the world are divided into races. Every group has racial in- --- terests aside from the national or the common interests of mankind. The world now exacts all races that seek recognition to prove whether they are possessors of an operative social capacity which enables them to bring about social amelioration equal to other races that are contributing to ward the advancement of the world's civilization. The nobility and accomplishments of any race depend upon the pride and loyalty of its individual members. The great apostle Paul boasted first of being a Jew, and second a Roman citizen. Individuals are honored according to the status of their race. Does not the government file every citizen according to his race? As a group, we can ill afford to allow the sections of the country to cause any dissensions among us. "Seeing we are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." Let our faces, our hopes, our aims be one. Unity of opinion and unity of action are necessary if we would face and solve our problems. Migration brings such problems as adaptation to new environments, housing, employment, and so forth. Organization and co-operation are the great factors needed to face and cope with these increasing problems. According to Dr. Haynes, there are four classes of migrants from the South: the first the floating class; the second the thrifty middle class, which is in the majority, honest, hard working, semi-skilled and unskilled workers, who seek better wages and better living conditions; the third class comprising a considerable number of skilled artisans, such as carpenters, brick layers, and tailors; the fourth class a number of enterprising business and professional men. As an asset they are invaluable, especially in the sparsely settled West. They are an inspiration and support to our religious work, an impulse to our business, and an addition to our political strength — when we systematically harmonize our forces. But, tell me, is it wise for the South to move North, East, and West, and still endeavor to be a separate people and to establish Southern customs—or to be left alone to face and acquaint themselves with new conditions and problems in a strange city? Mark other nationalities, the Jew in particular, who always has welfare organizations to give legal advice and to assure comfort and protection for members of their group who desire it. Will the Negro organize themselves for the common interest of all, or will the South remain South wherever it goes? A capacity for readaction is the acid test of a people, to show their spirit for advancement or for clinging to an old beaten path. The aloofness of the North, in some instances, has caused the corresponding distancy of the South. Whole Number 429 COLORED WOMAN LEAVES ESTATE TO WHITE PEOPLE Baltimore, Mr., Sept. 28. — Baltimore's prominent in society were remembered in the will of Mrs. Alice Davis, colored, filed for probate in the Orphans' Court by William F. Lucas, Jr., executor. Mrs. Davis died July 27 at the age of seventy-two. She had served for fifty-five years in the family of Mr. and Mrs. John Moncurce Robinson, and in her will remembers several members of the Robinson family. HUSBAND SHOT BY WIFE SUCCUMBS T TO HIS WOUNDS Mrs. Hazel Vaughn Held for Shooting Husband Who Threatened Her Life Released By Court. Anton Vaughn, died at St. Joseph's hospital Sunday night as the result of a gunshot wound in the abdomen, inflicted by his wife, Hazel Vaughn. Friday night about 6 o'clock at the Godley home, Twenty-third and Izard street. The couple were separated and he had frequently threatened to kill her unless she returned to him. He had been arrested on several occasions for beating her and had just been released from jail a day or two before the tragedy for attacking her. Learning of his release and fearing for her safety, Mrs. Vaughn, who is employed at the Fontenelle hotel, took a pistol with her to work Friday morning. As she alighted from the car at Twentieth and Cuming street Friday evening her husband met her and insisted that she accompany him to the Godley home to clear up a misunderstanding. When they reached there, he knocked her down, kicked her, drew a knife and threatened to kill her. She shot him and gave herself up to the police. Thursday morning at the hearing she was released from custody, the court holding from the evidence that it was a case of self defense. Mrs. Vaughn has two children by a former marriage whom she had been working hard to support. Cincinnati, O., Sept. 28. — An exhibition showing what is being done for the advancement of colored people of Cincinnati will be given by the Y. M. C. A., for one week, beginning October 1st. These migrants are facing new conditions — they feel a certain strangeness. There is inevitably a feeling of loneliness and friendliness, perhaps, the expectancy of being unwelcome. There should be strict examination on the part of the old residents to see if either consciously or unconsciously they furnish ground for this feeling. If so, they should banish it, and meet them with love and friendliness. A friendly spirit must be cultivated to face and solve these problems. Do we realize fully our racial and social responsibilities? Are we asking ourselves as individuals, "Am I my brother's keeper?" A greater social spirit must be created among our group or else we will be helpless to face the problems of migration. For the sake of the unprepared migrants, who have not had the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, habits, and graces of the cultured migrants, our forces should be organized in every city in some welfare organization supported by membership fees and dues. A Bureau of Information should be maintained. An Employment Bureau, a Committee on Housing, a Social Settlement should be kept with the necessary classes, such as Citizenship, Racial Progress and Capacity, Domestic Science, Child's Welfare—thus meeting the needs of the parent and the child. Welfare workers should be engaged to make friendly visits and raise the standard of citizenship in the community. The Church should lead in encouraging this work; she must grasp her opportunity for applying the social teachings of Christ, who ministered not only to the spiritual but physical needs of man. Such collective effort would enable us to face and help solve many problems of migration. Quoting Sutton E. Griggs, "The advanced section of the world today, has each of you standing against the wall, not to be measured by the height of your body, nor the strength of your intellect, nor the size of your purse, but by your capacity for handling the civic duties of man. In short, the world demands a new chorus from the throats of the various races of men. The cry we are men, we think and feel as you do, no longer has weight. What is demanded is the shout backed by evidence, that we are splendid team mates, alert to the social duties of man, and able to execute them with a high degree of efficiency." This efficiency will demonstrate itself in the genuine whole-heartedness with which we welcome the migrant, and by the Divine alchemy of helpful friendship, transmute him into an asset of priceless value to our community, if she would hold her prestige in this period of reconstruction. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 13 JOHNSTOWNITES REPUDIATE THEIR CZAR-LIKE MAYOR Citizens Overwhelmingly Defeat Cauf- fiel Candidate for Renomina- tion at the Recent Primaries Governor Pinchot Disapproves of Highanded Methods of Johnstown, Pa., Sept. 28.—Joseph Cauffiel, self-styled "Ivan the Terrible", arch prosecutor, has been called to account for his infamous edict ordering the wholesale deportation of Negroes from this city. Mayor Cauffiel, following the killing of two policemen, by Negroes, is credited with ordering all Negroes who have not been residents of Johnstown for seven years to leave immediately; commanding all Negroes coming to Johnstown to report to himself or the chief of police their business here, and denying to Negroes the right of assembly other than for worship. Following the protest of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Governor Pinchot telegraphed the association that "the whole power of this commonwealth will be used, if necessary, to maintain constitutional rights." The governor also announced that the mayor had been wired requesting a "full statement of facts and reason for action taken." Carriefire Declared at Fols The mayor was further rebuked Tuesday in the election in which he was stamped for a second term. Not only Negroes, but also whites registered their harsh disapproval of this iniquitous modern Biblical Haman, who has attempted to inject poisonous venom into the hearts of the local citizenry against a peaceful people who have come at their own invitation. It is believed in authentic circles that the mayor issued his ignomintous decree bidding for the vote of the Ku Klux Klan and its sympathizers. The returns of Tuesday's voting showed that he had made himself very unpopular and was trailing behind in sixth place. LEDRUE GALLOWAY, ATHLETIC STAR, GOES TO IOWA UNIVERSITY Ledru Cooper Galloway, the popular athletic star of Central High school, left last week for Iowa City, Iowa, to enter the Iowa State University to pursue his pre-medic course. Fellow students and influential friends were anxious to have him enroll at Nebraska State University, but because Nebraska is now in the Missouri Valley association, some of the members of which bar colored athletes, other friends urged him to enter Iowa or Minnesota. Galloway stood well in scholarship at Central and was the outstanding star on the football team for three seasons, being chosen as All-State Tackle in 1921 and All-State Half-Hack in 1922. He also starred in track, basket-ball and base-ball work. Speaking of his almost unanimous selection as All-State Half-back, the World-Herald said, "He is fine, clean player, and a gentleman on the field and off." Ledru Galloway will win for himself a high place in college athletics. Geneva, Sept. 28. Italy has notified the League of Nations that she has ordered the abolition of the slavery system existing within the Italian legation in the empire of Ethiopia (Abyssinia), which recently applied for membership in the league. New York, Sept. 28.—There is talk of consolidated colored banking houses of several northern cities with banks in Jacksonville, Savannah and Norfolk. It is said that such a merger with its financial backing would commend Wall Street respect. LEDRUE C.

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. WE COUNT ourselves fortunate in being able to present to our readers the admiral address delivered by Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson, our talented townwoman, wife of the Baptist State Missionary, before the women's meeting of the National Baptist convention at Los Angeles. She was one of several contestants from various states in the oratorical contest which is held each year in connection with the annual meeting for the purpose of developing the women in public speaking. Mrs. Wilkinson selected a vitally important topic for her oration and was highly commended for her presentation of it. It furnishes food for thought and presents practical suggestions as to how each community should meet migrants from the Southland. It is to be hoped that Omaha will speedily put into operation some of the admirable suggestions made. We must help our brethren to adjust themselves to the new conditions which confront them. The educated and cultured members of our race will not need the same attention as those who have been denied these advantages. PROVING HIMSELF A MAN GOVERNOR WALTON of Oklahoma is proving himself to be a man of courage. There is no doubt whatever but that the Klan has been running things with a high hand in Oklahoma. The findings of the military court of inquiry has disclosed the fact that floggings and other brutalities have been inflicted upon citizens by the lawless knights of the sheet and slit pillow slip. It has been further disclosed that many peace officers, who are sworn to enforce the law of the land are members of this lawless organization, holding their oath to the Klan superior to that of the State. It is a question whether the State is sovereign or the Klan. Governor Walton has the hearty endorsement of all Americans who believe that law should be supreme. PLAGUE SPOTS THAT there are several plague spots that are flourishing in residential districts occupied by self-respecting and law-abiding citizens is quite apparent. Such resorts should be closed.

REPUDIATES HIM JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania, has repudiated Mayor Caufield, who apparently thought he was living in Czar-rules Russia or some benighted Southern "cracker" settlement, where one can violate with impunity the constitutional rights of citizens. As one of six candidates for renomination at the primaries he ran a mighty poor fifth. In fact he hardly knew he was in the running. The intelligence of Johnstown repudiated him. POLICY OR PRINCIPLES THERE are certain perplexing problems which confront well-meaning, unprejudiced and fair-minded business men. They recognize the unfairness of a certain attitude or policy towards Colored Americans. When you talk with them, they frankly admit it and sincerely deplore it, but, with equally brutal frankness, they tell you that they are powerless to change conditions. They fear a falling off in their profits, perhaps bankruptcy, if they act upon principle rather than upon policy. We sympathize with their point of view and acknowledge that there is a risk to be run in acting upon principle. We believe, however, that they overestimate the risk. May it not be true that "they have feared where no fear was?" Would it not be well for these men of principle and convictions to at least try to put their principles into practice? Right will eventually prevail. It takes courage of no mean order to do that which one believes to be right when it runs counter to popular opinion, practice and custom and yet, from time to time we find individuals who possess this kind of courage and by its manifestation left the cause of justice and fair dealing just a little higher. Policy or principle, which pays the larger dividends in the end? The land owned by the race in the United States totals more than twenty-two million acres, or more than thirty-thousand square miles, an area greater than that of the five New England states, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Ka Civil Rig GAYETY THEATRE HAS "BREVITIES OF '23" Most Pretentious Booking Ever Offered For Ak-Sar-Ben Parade Week. A promise of rare fun, together with a full measure of melody, fair womanhood, attractive stage settings and gorgeous customs is given for the engagement at the popular Gayetty theatre, week starting Saturday, Sept. 29, of "Brevities of 1923," which is rated as one of the top notch attractions playing Columbia Burlesque this season and was purposely booked for Ak-Sar-Ben Parade week. In the cast that surpasses in point of excellence many of the musical comedy aggregations offered to the public at two-fifty and three dollars a seat at other theatres are such notables of vaudeville and burlesque as Lena Daley, Walter Brown, Thelma Carlton, Harry Peterson, Jack "Smoke" Gray, Vic Kaplan, Alma Arliss and Olive Kennedy. Miss Daley, who was last season seen with "Brevities" in the steller role is again the featured member of the cast, together with Walter Brown. Miss Daley, who through her winse smile has become known as the "girl with the smile" will not only offer her superb dancing as a feature but some gorgeous costumes, the plates of which were recently brought from Paris by Mrs. Kathryn Arlington, the well-known New York costumer. Walter Brown, with his inimitable style of eccentric conversation and acting, together with his world famous comedy feet, is an absolute guarantee of unbounded comedy while the others in the big cast all contribute their full share toward making "Brevities of 1923" one of the truly delightful gifts of the year. There are 21 magnificent stage settings together with a myriad of wonderful costumes which will delight the eyes and hearts of both male and female members of the audience. These costumes are advantageously displayed by a chorus of specially chosen beauties who animate the numerous scenes with their beauty, grace, animation and ability. They are more than ordinary choristers in the fact of their all having a wee bit to do in the way of a chorus sung individually. The attention of the ladies of this city is particularly called to the special matinees which have become such a popular feature of the Gayet the theatre. With this attraction the appeal to the fair sex is particularly strong, not only in its dazzling array of the latest feminine wearing apparel, but in the clean comedy, the delightful dances and the tuneful musical gems. Wednesday's matinee will not start until after the historical pageant has passed the Gayet. Sunday's matinee begins at 3:00. SOME FACTS WORTH KNOWING Race Contributes More Than Million To Rosenwald Schools During the first nine years (1912-1921) of aid to rural schools by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, 1215 school buildings were erected through this means at a cost of $3,985,000. Of this amount $287,000 came from private, subscriptions of white people in the communities where the buildings were erected, $749,000 from Mr. Rosenwald, $1,129,000 from private contributions of Negroes, and $1,829,000 from public funds, state and county. In 1920 Negroes in North Carolina paid taxes on $53,901,018 worth of property. In 1921 the Negroes of Georgia owned 1,838,129 acres of land valued at $20,808,594. The estimated value of the property owned by Negroes in the United States is $1,500,000,000.

Frederick Divers has been returned for another year's work with Bethel. The services were good last Sunday morning and evening, and we had a meeting Monday evening at which we reorganized for the year, and outlined and agreed upon a plan of operation for the year. The first thing on the program is a big revival to begin Sunday, Sept. 30. We have been fortunate enough to secure the services of Madam Ludsa Sims of Madagascar Islands, one of the most noted women evangelists of the day. She has been preaching since childhood, and has been the means of bringing more souls to Christ than possibly any other woman evangelist of today. We are anxious to enlist the services of good personal workers in the meeting regardless of denomination. Come out and help us do a great work for Christ and our city.

HARD TO GET WHALE EXPERT England Unable to Find Leader for Expedition. An offer of a thousand pounds a year, with free food and lodging and plenty of adventure thrown in, is going begging because England has no modern Jonah who knows whales intimately. Last month the colonial office in London advertised for a "director of research" to take charge of a scientific expedition that is scheduled to start next spring for the Falkland islands to study aquatic mammals and their habits. So far not a suitable application has been received. The purpose of the expedition is to obtain data from which to frame legislation to prevent the disappearance of whales. The scientists will endeavor to learn whether they are polygamous, how long they live, where they spend the winter and what their annual mileage is. It seems that the waters off the Balkan islands are a fashionable summer whaling resort; but in winter the mammals disappear. Inasmuch as the islands are largely dependent upon the whaling industry, the British government would like to know where they go. Scott's historic ship "Discovery" will carry the expedition, which will be gone two and a half years. Wanted—Wide awake boys to sell The Monitor every Saturday. Got a cold?
