Will Proposed Anti-Lynching Law Pass? --- LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Co Will P NEGRO HISTORY WEEK TO BE CELEBRATED YEARLY IN FEBRUARY An Appeal in Favor of That Class of People Called Negroes—Annually Required to Publish Whole Truth. NEBRASKA QUOTA IS $250 Required Money For Program of Association Has Been Apportioned to the Several States A call to rally to the support of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History to inculcate a higher appreciation of the Negro's contribution to civilization and thereby to secure for him the recognition belonging to all men. This is the outgrowth of the celebration of Negro History Week. This movement met with a favorable response throughout the country. The Negroes seized upon the idea as a thing for which they had long been waiting, and a considerable number of the white race manifested similar interest. Clubs, fraternities, schools, and churches made extensive preparation and carried out their programs with unusual success. The favorable comment by the leading white and Negro newspapers decidedly stimulated the movement and presented the cause to the public as it has never been before. Three definite needs of the Negro group were strikingly brought out during this celebration. Social workers and educators are almost unanimous in urging the following: First, that there should be prepared a series of historical stories and textbooks depicting the civilization of the Negro in Africa and the influence of the Negro in the history of this country; second, that boards of education should be induced to adopt certain of these books as optional texts and supplementary works in public schools; and third, that schools and libraries throughout the country should be provided with an adequate number of reference books presenting the various aspects of Negro life and history. To carry out such a program requires money. The Association has already spent thousands of dollars promoting the celebration of Negro History Week, and it has not charged one penny for any of the services rendered. The Association has felt that the first thing to do is to get the people of the country interested. When once interested they will support the thing in which they believe. To a greater extent than ever before this very thing has been done. To carry out this program and make this celebration in the future what it ought to be by giving the work sufficient stimulus throughout the year, however, the Association must have an additional $20,000. The present income of the Association is decidedly small. It receives between $15,000 and $20,000 a year and it does the work of a learned society spending $45,000 or $50,000. What it has done has been accomplished by virtue of the fact that the seven persons whom it has employed in the prosecution of this work have been overworked and underpaid. The director has hardly been paid at all. For the first five years he practically financed the movement himself, and during recent years he has sometimes found it necessary to contribute to the work what it is supposed to pay him. To finance this movement the Association needs $20,000. This has been apportioned according to the Negro population and general interest so far expressed in the work of the Association. Each state is asked to contribute the amounts indicated below: Alabama ..... $ 600 Minnesota ..... $ 250 Arkansas ..... 500 Mississippi ..... 600 California ..... 400 Missouri ..... 400 Colorado ..... 200 Nebraska ..... 250 Connecticut ..... 500 New Jersey ..... 400 Delaware ..... 300 New York ..... 1,500 Dist. Columbia 1,000 North Carolina ..... 600 Florida ..... 500 Ohio ..... 1,000 Georgia ..... 700 Oklahoma ..... 400 Illinois ..... 1,500 Pennsylvania ..... 800 Indiana ..... 400 Rhode Island ..... 400 Iowa ..... 200 South Carolina ..... 500 Kansas ..... 400 Tennessee ..... 500 Kentucky ..... 400 Texas ..... 500 Louisiana ..... 500 Virginia ..... 500 Maryland ..... 500 West Virginia ..... 500 Massachusetts ..... 1,200 At large ..... 500 Michigan ..... 500 All contributions should be sent to S. W. Rutherford, Secretary-Treasurer of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, 1538 Ninth Street, Northwest, Washington, D. C. The Association is incorporated and the Secretary-Treasurer is bonded. CHURCH WINS FIGHT Washington, D.

We have quoted these, to many, strange and unknown words to arouse your curiosity and to fix your attention, as the strange and extraordinary always do. This passage is quoted from one of the world's greatest masterpieces of literature, "Caesar's Gallic War." It occurs in the third chapter of the first book, which tells of the preparations the Helvetians—who felt themselves cramped and confined in their native land and were ambitious to extend their territory and power—made for their migration. They provided themselves with beasts of burden and abundance of food and supplies for their journey; but more important than all their supplies, there was something else that was very necessary for the successful carrying out of their plans. What was it? This passage tells us precisely what it was, for this is the translation: "They determined to establish peace and friendship with their neighbors." You agree, then, do you not, that this was a very wise, prudent and sensible thing for them to do? Strife and enmity with their neighbors would have hindered their progress, dissipated their energies and destroyed their possessions. And, too, their neighbors were their kinsmen—of the same race and blood. Why, then, should they be enemies and jealous of one another? What they all needed to withstand their common foe was peace and friendship among themselves—concord and amity, not strife and hostility. The establishment of peace and friendship, real peace and true friendship, are what the world needs today. There is seething disquietude and unrest, suspicion, jealousy, mistrust, distruct, misunderstanding throughout the world. Hence, wars and rumors of war. Industry, commerce, trade, politics, religion all feel the spell of this hysteria. Capital and labor are arrayed in hostile camps, apparently forgetful that each is needful to the other. Mutual suspicion mars and retards helpful relationship of the classes with the masses, of race and nationalities with one another. Despite America's great wealth and material possessions, social conditions are more acute and threatening than is generally realized. Various groups seem to believe in their own self-sufficiency and ability to carry on without the other. This is a fatal mistake. No matter how strong or influential individuals, groups, classes or races may be, for true and real progress they need to establish peace and friendship with their neighbors.

DEAD MAN ARISES Baton Rouge, La4,—(By the Associated Negro Press) The resurrection and hegira came within five seconds here recently when Willie Coats, colored, who had been found "dead" for seeval hours, arose from his bed around which dozens of mourners had gathered for a wake. Coats had influenza fo several days and his life was despaired of. At ten o'clock he gave a gasp which marked death—so thought his friends. The church bell tolled out his passing and friends gathered for the wake. At four a. m. he suddenly raised from his bed with the remark, "I ain't gone yet." But before he could open his eyes the mourners fled via doors and windows. When day broke the doctor came and said the dead man had only a fainting spell. He is now able to sit up and expects to be driving the old mule within a week.

SOUTHERN SENATORS SOLIDLY SET AGAINST ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Senior Solon From North Carolina Threatens to Hold Congress All Summer to Prevent Bill's Passage SUB-COMMITTEE FAVORABLE Measure Failed of Passage at Last Congress by Determined Filibuster by Southern Washington, D. C.—(By the Associated Negro Press) They are not going to pass any anti-lynching bill in Congress this session if the democracy of the south has anything to say about it. You can take that on the word of no less a personage than Senator Lee S. Overman, the senior solon from North Carolina, who takes pride in the belief that he had a great deal to do with the failing of the measure in the last Congress. Senator Overman is on the senate judiciary committee and declares that the proponents of the measure are going to have "a rocky road to travel". The South views the McKinney-Dyer anti-lynching bill as a direct assault on State rights. Overman intends to let the senate know how North Carolina deals with lynching mobs. He believes the knowledge of the more or less good record of North Carolina will have a deterent effect on the senate when it comes to taking action against such bad actors as Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. The bill has already been favorably reported from a sub-committee of the judiciary committee to the committee of the whole, but Overman secured postponement of consideration on the grounds that a full attendance of the committee was not present. There has been some talk of invoking the cloture rule to secure the passage of the anti-lynching measure, an action similar to that taken in respect to the world court resolution. In the last Congress the Dyer measure lost, because of a fillibuster, but Overman predicts that the friends of the bill will not have enough votes to pass a cloture motion and that "there will be no adjournment of Congress by June 1 or July 1 or August 1, if an attempt is made to jam this law down our throats. There'll be no such thing as cloture on the Dyer-McKinley bill."
