SEGREGATION RECEIVES HARD BLOW SEGRE DELEGATION WAITS ON SENATOR BUTLER WITH DEFINITE AIM Demand That National Republican Chairman Use His Influence to Abolish Segregation in Federal Service SENATOR RECEIVES A SHOCK Amazed When Advised That Provise Contained in President's Message Regarded as Hostile to Boston, Mass.—A sensational turn was given to an audience with Sen. W. M. Butler in his Boston offices by a delegation representing the National Equal Rights League and the Greater Boston Ministerial Alliance which again was asking the National Republican Chairman to stop federal segregation, when Attorney Edgar P. Benjamin told Sen. Butler that the proviso in the President's recent message about not interfering with the usages of enlightened society meant no interference with Southern race proscription. Mr. Benjamin, eminent lawyer and local bank president, is the donor of the 25 dollars in gold first prize offered by the League for the best race slogan under 15 words received before Feb. 1st at its headquarters. 9 Cornhill, based on 1926 as the 150th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence which promised equality, life and liberty.

Klugh, chairman of the delegation, Rev. W. Swain, vice-president of the league and spokesman for the Ministerial Alliance, Attorney Albert G. Wolff, local league secretary, Mrs. Hester Jeffrey, Col. E. B. Barco of the K. P., Rev. C. C. Somerville, Rev. J. W. Hill, Lawrence Banks and Rev. R. S. Pitman. Secretary Trotter was at home sick. Sen. Butler insisted the President's message was misunderstood. He had his secretary bring in a copy of the message. He said the false interpretation would be counteracted. Chairman Klugh, Rev. Mr. Swain, Col. Barco and Mr. Benjamin declared the race had lost its patience waiting for the President to abolish segregation. They had read and presented a detailed specification of where segregation existed prepared by the League's national recording secretary, James L. Neill of Washington, Chairman Butler reiterated his opposition to segregation and so impressed the delegation that they will not be surprised if something is done. COLORED VETS SEEK POSTS Washington—Traffic in far-off Liberia, according to the African World, is producing vehicular and pedestrian problems among the natives, requiring the appointment of a traffic director and native police. The situation has arisen through recent landing at Monrovja of hundreds of automobiles and trucks for use on the Firestone rubber plantations. Hard surface roads are being constructed to connect twenty centers of operation, one from Marshall to Monrovia already being completed. From an estimated Liberian population of 2,000,000, Harvey Firestone Jr., has anticipated an ample supply of labor. Direction of enlarged constabulary and police forces is being sought by former colored officers of the Ninety-second and Ninety-third divisions of the American expeditionary forces.

THE MONITOR CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY GETS COSTLY TANNER PAINTING Orangeburg, S. C.—(A. N. P.) Claflin University has secured a painting by the famous American artist, Henry O. Tanner, who ranks among the great artists, not only of America, but of the world. A picture by Mr. Tanner was purchased by the French Government and was hung in Louvre Museum. It represents the raising of Lazarus. Another painting by Mr. Tanner, "Daniel in the Lions' Den." may be found in the Philadelphia Art Gallery. The Chicago Art Institute has his "Peter and John at the Tomb of Christ." The Metropolitan Art Museum of New York City, which is the greatest of all art museums, has recently placed upon its walls a picture by Mr. Tanner, "Sodom and Gomorrah," representing Lot and his two daughters escaping from the fire and brimstone of the Lord, showing the figures of Lot and his daughters in the foreground with their faces set away from the destruction behind them. In the background he depicts a seething, convoluted mass of smoke. The picture which Claflin has secured is a marine view, representing the rising of a storm. It is something on the order of the picture which was recently been secured by the Metropolitan Art Museum of New York City. In one, this expression of terrific elemental power is expressed in water, and in the other through fire. The Claflin picture is a masterpiece by one of the world's greatest masters. It is worth at least $3,000. It was possible for them to secure this picture through the assistance of Bishop Hartzell, who was the friend and patron of Mr. Tanner in the early years of his struggle. Bishop Hartzell had the picture in his possession, and because of his previous relations to this work he desired to have one of Mr. Tanner's pictures at Claflin. This is not the only valuable painting owned by Claflin. A portrait of Robert Gould Shaw, painted by the great Negro artist, Bannister, who lived many years ago, hangs in the beautiful Lee library, besides another painting by Mrs. L. M. Dunton, who is an artist of more than ordinary ability. Great credit is due Mrs. Dunton for the quality of the contribution which she made to Claflin University. Being herself a woman of bigh culture and extraordinary attainments, she contributed liberally not only to the academic, religious and moral life of the school, but to the aesthetic and cultural life as well. And now there is at Claflin this nucleus of art treasure. A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH Washington—Commenting upon the political problems of the Negro, Editor J. H. Watson, in a recent issue of the Supreme Circle News, published in Albany, Georgia, says: "Politically, the Negro is not even holding his own; he has been slipping backward for the past decade; and it is because he does not interest himself sufficiently to qualify and participate in matters political. He has no political program, and is never found a unit on any proposition. Yet he swears the Republicans have betrayed him and the Democrats would destroy him, and RESTS HIS CASE THERE." $20,000 FOR ORPHAN'S HOME ,Winston-Salem, N. C.—(A. N. P.) As the result of a gift of $20,000 from an unknown donor, the Memorial Industrial School, an institution for the care of orphans, is soon to be moved to a new and more suitable site. The new location, which was purchased with the money provided in the gift, comprises 386 acres located on a new highway north of the city. The school will be situated on a commanding ridge, with a splendid view of the surrounding mountains. The name of the institution's benefactor was withheld at his own request. 3020 20 400 EKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED THE REV.

To noon of that day there had been received at the National Office of the Association a total of $37,457.73 to which is added the original contribution from the American Fund for Public Service (the Garland Fund) of $5,000 which brings the cash actually received to $42,475.73. The Garland Fund at its regular meeting on Jan. 6 received Mr. Johnson's report and voted not only to pay over to the Association the $15,000 it had originally agreed to pay if the Association should raise thirty thousand dollars but and additional sum of $6,552.79.

This demand could only be made effective because the race in Chicago was united under a strong leadership. The party organization played fair and consequently he was elected. Passing from this the speaker gave a simple, practical talk stressing the importance of racial and inter-racial cooperation, emphasizing the fact that no community in America can succeed without such cooperation. He plead for thorough preparation upon the part of our people so as to be ready when opportunity comes.

With the funds so generously contributed in response to our appeal we will be able to see the second trial of the Sweet case through, to pay the cost of the segregation case in the United States Supreme Court which is being argued in Washington today, to carry through that same tribunal the "white primary" case from Texas, and to handle some other important but less spectacular cases now upon us. "And it is especially gratifying that most of the contributions, save in some notable instances of aid from our loyal white friends, has come from colored people themselves. They by this response show to the world that they are cognizant of the fact that things worth while cost money and that they are willing to pay the cost of the justice they seek. To those of us here at the National Office the attainment of our goal means two things: it will enable us to do important jobs that lie before us which lack of funds have prevented our doing in the past, and, second, it serves as assurance that seventeen years of scrupulous care and integrity in handling funds and of efficiency in doing the tasks which come to us is appreciated by the public at large. There ought to be an equal sum raised each year for defense so that the time may not be far off when no man or group will attack the fundamental rights of the Negro, feeling that it can be done with impunity.

Abonniert auf The Monitor Whole Number 548 HARD B TUSKEGEE FUND WINS EASTMAN'S $2,000,000 MICH New York—Clarence H. Kelsey, Chairman of the executive committee of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund campaign, announced last week that the $2,000,000 required to be raised or pledged by December 31st in order to meet the conditions under which George Eastman offered to add $2,000,000 more, has been obtained. The reasons given by Mr. Eastman for his gift have appealed to the public and it has responded in the sum of more than 10,000 subscriptions, running from gifts of $1 each from some of the colored graduates, to subscriptions of $250,000 each from five different individuals, topped off by a $1,000,000 gift from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., matching the $1,000,000 pledge with which the General Education Board inaugurated the campaign. The endowment fund campaign was undertaken by these schools in order that their fields of usefulness might be extended, and their principals, Drs. Gregg and Moton, given more time for necessary administrative work. The south was organized with headquarters in Atlanta. Many well-known southernners took active part in making the campaign a success and countless new friends were made for the cause. The alumni of the schools raised more than $200,000. The hope of the race lies in the wide extension of the influence and efficiency of these two schools and the multiplication of their graduates until they reach all the colored people of the South and show the way to the proper type of schooling for colored youth everywhere and the white youth as well. Mr. Rockefeller said, in making his great gift, "It is not only for our own land—it is for all lands that these representative American schools of hand and brain and character are blazing the trail."

This decision is particularly important in view of the widespread activities on the part of whites to exclude Negroes from so-called white residential districts by inserting clauses in contracts forbidding the sale of the property to anyone not of the Caucasian race. By this degree on the part of the Supreme Court, all such contracts are void in the State of Michigan. While this opinion is favorable to the colored citizens of Michigan and the country, it is pointed out that the decision does not touch upon the occupancy of premises on which restrictions have been placed, wncn has been the bone of contention in the many cases throughout the country. The suit in question was brought by Porter and Wyman, Muskegon real estate dealers, against Wilbratt and Auxilie Barrett, white, and Wilson Robinson, a Negro who purchased the property involved. Porter and Wyman had sold the lot to Louis Parent, white, who in turn sold it to the Barretts. The contracts in both cases specified that the property should not be sold to Negroes upon penalty of the lots and all improvements reverting to the real estate concern. Upon the sale of the property to Robinson, Porter and Wyman immediately brought suit in Circuit Court and a verdict was given in favor of the defendants. This decision was affirmed by the State Supreme Court on the appeal of the plaintiffs. Justice Fellows, in writing his opinion, says, "We must bear in mind that we are not dealing with a restraint on the use of the premises. Such restraints, unless unreasonable, have quite uniformly been upheld. Before the sale of intoxicating liquor was prohibited this court and practically every court of last resort in the Union upheld restraints of the use of premises for its manufacture or sale. Such restraint upon the USE was uniformly upheld; but would a restraint on SALE of premises to one who was engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors elsewhere be valid? I think not."

"LIES AND DAMN LIES" THIS was an expression used not so long ago which seemed to shock some people who pose as being very pious. We admit here that we are always suspicious of people who parade or prate about their piety. We further confess that piety paraders and praters provoke in us a strong temptation to cuss. Honestly, it does. We resist the temptation, but it arises, nevertheless. But to the question before us. It is true that there are lies and "damn lies"; and to our way of thinking, there is a vast ethical distinction between them. A lie is a falsehood or untruth told perhaps through fear, or some other controlling motive, for the purpose of avoiding punishment or getting oneself out of trouble. It is largely a personal matter and affects primarily the one telling it. It is the act of the child who, to avoid punishment, tells an untruth, and this applies equally to the adult. It seldom, if ever, works. And it always brings its penalty, if not immediately, then remotely. Untruths of this character are lies; but they are not nearly so bad as "damn lies." What are they? Wilful, deliberate, malicious falsehoods or untruths told for the purpose of injuring the character standing, influence or good name of some man or woman are "damn lies", with emphasis on the "DAMN" Courts of law recognize this distinction by calling it lible or slander. So you see there is a difference, quite a vast difference, between a lie and a damn lie. Lies are bad enough, but damn lies are infinitely worse. And yet there are people who seem to take pleasure in telling damn lies. They do not seem to realize that this is a serious matter for which they can be brought to book. How much better it would be if all men everywhere would obey the injunction of the Good Book which says, "wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates; and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath, for all these are things I hate, saith the Lord".

No element of Any yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in explore the first the foundation of THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the chosen heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion.—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk."

It is not astounding what big brainstorms or what would be a storm in that part of their head if vacuity did not exist there, these Kluxers have. They are always seeing ghosts. First the un-American, non-assimile elements which they proposed to fight were "Koons, Keiks and Katholics." Now, according to "The American Standard", the "High Church Wing of the Sect (Episcopalians) shows nearness to Romanism" and therefore is a cloud upon the national horizon. If the Kluxers keep up their process of elimination from the ranks of the "100 per cent Americans", there will be a very small company left. It will be a little lonely on their side of the fence we opine. AN AWAKENING The raising of the Defense Fund of $65,000 for waging a legal battle for the rights of the Negro is a cause for congratulation. It shows an awakening upon the part of the race to the necessity of furnishing the sinews of war in their battle for justice. There should be no let up in contributions to this fund. A large, wisely administered defense fund is very necessary at this time. AN IMPORTANT DECISION THE decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan to the effect that contractual limitation of the purchase of property to Caucasians is void and unconstitutional in that state will have an important bearing upon this question which has become acute in several localities. This decision is so fundamentally sound that we have marvelled at the effrontery of those who have attempted to violate the principles at stake which an adverse ruling would have sustained. To hold that race, religion or color is a bar to the purchase and occupancy of property by an American citizen is so obviously subversive of one's constitutional right and so vicious and far-reaching in principle that the veriest child can see it. The decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan must be the decision of every court in the land.

HIGH RECOVERY RATE AMONG NEGRO INSANE Washington—Although mental disease is still very prevalent among Negroes of the United States, the statistical bureau of the New York State Hospital Commission has found that the general recovery rate in recent years has been higher among Negro patients than among white patients. A high death rate, with males in advance of females, was also noted among the patients studied. Among the causes contributing to insanity among Negroes, the commission listed the following as principals: (1) The stress of congested city life, and (2) Cold northern climates. In its conclusions, the commission found that many institutions for the care of Negro insane are inadequate to meet the general needs.
