NO. 37 SOCRATES BELIEVES COLORED PEOPLE WANT SOCIAL EQUALITY SOCRATES BELIEVES COLORED PEOPLE WANT SOCIAL EQUALITY (By Associated Negro Press) NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 10—Archbishop Socrates A. E. O'Neil, D. D., president of the God Charitable International Ethiopian Free Industrial School, South Weldon, N. C., lectured to a large audience. Speaking of the social unrest among the colored race of this country, he said: "The Colored man is making a big mistake in craving social equality with a race of higher plane. Certain Negro writers and theorists are filling our people with radical teachings. If the preachers of these doctrines of equality, who prey upon the mind of the ignorant, realized they are like African fanatics, superstitious, parasitic, in trying to dominate the white race, they would stop their clamor for social recognition with the white people. You must harmonize with the white man, attend to your own affairs and never attempt to go outside of your own sphere, and in that way you will get peace and contentment." ```markdown ``` Picture Deals With Present Unrest of Raccs and Suggests a Remedy (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—Oscar Mischaux's wonderful new picture, "Within Our Gates," which will undoubtedly rival any preachment picture ever produced, is now before the Chicago board of censors. Mr. Mischaux is the producer of "The Homesteader," an unusual picture which developed nation-wide popularity. The new picture deals with the present unrest of the races in America, showing things as they exist, and suggests a remedy. A beautiful romance is carried throughout the picture.

Work in Chicago; Seek To Frighten Blacks (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—The Hyde Park Property Owners' Association and its unholy alliance is again busy in Chicago endeavoring to frighten the people. The last move is that of endeavoring to have William B. Austin, lawyer, banker, former president of the Hamilton Club and owner of property on Brand Boulevard, occupied by our ggroup, expelled from the Country Club. Mr. Austin says that he will fight the case and that if he is expelled, it will be necessary to expel a number of other prominent members of the organization. A bomb was recently placed under the front steps of Jesse Binga, banker and real estate man, 5922 South Park avenue, but it failed to explode properly. Passersby heard the bomb thrown in the yard of the premises, and, seeing smoke issuing from underneath the steps, they called the fire department. It is known that a bomb is an expression of racial feeling and a form of an attempted expression of terror to frighten residents from the Hyde Park and Kenwood sections. It is believed, however, that their efforts will be in vain. Civil Rights Law Effective in Colorado (By Associated Negro Press) DENVER, Colo., Dec. 10.—Rev. A. D. Darrius, a prominent Methodist of this community, has won a civil rights case against Peter Apostolos, a Greek of Colorado Springs. Apostolos refused to shine the shoes of Rev. Darrius and suit was brought by the minister. The case was in charge of Attorney Blakemore and was carried to the Supreme Court, where the decision against the Greek was finally granted. It is the second case in Colorado ever brought up to the Supreme Court and the constitutionality of the civil rights law is upheld. The court overruled an application for a demurrier.

An inch of rain descending on an acre of land would fill more than 600 barrels of 45 gallons each. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY 3,000 HEAR SPEECH OF JUDGE R. H. TERRELL AT RIGHMOND, VA. (By Associated Negro Press) RICHMOND. Va., Dec. 10—More than 3,000 citizens, white and colored, composed the audience which heard Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court of Washington, D. C., in his address at the city auditorium last evening on the subject, "The Negro Past, Present, and Future." Judge Terrell was escorted to the auditorium by the Capital City Lodge of Elks' band. Lawyer W. E. Denny presented Lawyer Giles Jackson, who in turn introduced Judge R. H. Terrell. Judge Terrell is a native son of Richmond, who enjoys the distinction of being the only federal Negro judge in the United States, having been appointed to his position under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Judge Terrell's address was one of eloquent oratory, enumerating the deeds of valor, courage and loyalty of the Negro from his landing at Jamestown in 1619 to the present day, and his outlook and desires for the future. "The Negro," said Judge Terrell, "wants a share of the things promised him at the time of the entrance of the United States into the World war." At present he desires industrial representation. To obtain this a resolution has been drawn for a Negro industrial commission of five men, three Colored and two white, to look out for the industrial welfare of the Colored race. It is understood that the commission will have its headquarters in Washington and will make an annual report to the President and Congress of the United States. This resolution will be presented in the form of a bill to Congress. Mr. Jesse Sweat returned last week from Phoenix, where he went to have his eyes treated by a prominent specialist. Mrs. G. W.

Bright new furnishings have been purchased and everything has a cheerful appearance. WILL DO SOCIAL SERVICE WORK AMONG COLORED FOLK (By Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 10.—Jesse O. Thomas( who was for a number of years principal off Voorhees industrial school at Denmark, S. C., and later supervisor of Negro economics for the State of New York, and who recently resigned the latter to become field secretary of the National Urban League for social service among Negroes, has established headquarters in this city.

THE AMATEUR SPECULATOR Another pathetic little feature of everyday life is the way every fool amateur speculator thinks for a time that he's a conservative investor. Ohio State Journal. TRIBUNE PHOENIX, ARIZONA. DECEMBER 13, 1919. FOUGHT FOR HONOR OF 14-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER NOW FIGHTING FOR LIFE FOUGHT FOR HONOR OF 14-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER NOW FIGHTING FOR LIFE (By Associated Negro Press) MADISON, Wis., Dec. 10.—Jack Green of Lancaster, confessed slayer of George Duncan, automobile man, will fight for his freedom as he fought for the honor of his fourteen-year-old daughter, Dena. Taken before Justice C. W. Burrows Tuesday, Green was bound over to the February term of Circuit Court. The only testimony taken at the hearing was that of Dena, who told simply the story of the tragic night on which she had her last ride with Duncan. A speedy trial and release upon bond for Green is the clamor of the little city, whose sympathy is for the prisoner, it is said. As one juryman has been retained, as a nucleus, Circuit Judge George Clementson may call a jury at any time. Application for bond probably will be made by his attorneys, W. J. Brennen and H. E. Carthew. Several citizens have volunteered to sign Green's bond. "We will fight the case from a moral standpoint," said Attorney Brennen, when asked what defense the prisoner would make. No definite statement will be made until Green and his attorneys have talked the matter over. "There is no doubt about who did the shooting," Attorney Brennen continued. "But Green had prohibited Duncan from seeing his daughter. There is a moral issue involved." Dena is attractive and over-developed for her age. Her mother is a white woman, a member of a prominent Lancaster family. When she married Green, she was cast off by her family. Several years ago the mother left Green, and is now living in Dubuque, Iowa, making her living by scrubbing floors in department stores, it is said. Green, aged 58, is a long-time resident in the vicinity of Lancaster. He has lived on his farm and made every effort to maintain his large family of nine children and keep them in school. In the statement Green made at the jail, he said he killed Duncan Monday night about 11 o'clock because he had been too familiar with Dena, his daughter. He said he had warned Duncan, who is married and the father of a young daughter himself, to stay away from his neighborhood. When Dena was not to be found at home late Monday night, and when he heard the familiar sound of Duncan's motor on the highway near his home, Green said he went crazy, ran to the house for his shotgun, and when the car reached the gate, confronted the pair. Duncan put out his lights as if to stop, and then speeded up, according to Green's story. Green called to him to stop, but the car went all the faster. Green declared he fired first at the front wheel, and then the engine. He loaded again and shot into the back end of the car top. The shot entered Duncan's back under the left shoulder, and caused instant death. Dena, also in the car, escaped death by a miracle, only a few stray shots embedding themselves in the back of her neck. PHOENIX CHURCHES How is This for the Lone Star State (Aby Associated Negro Press) AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 10.—The Board of Pardon advisers have recommended that James Young, a Negro convict, be turned loose. He was sentenced for 20 years from Galveston county, and he has served in actual time nearly 17 years, and the board is of the opinion that he has served the full time. The Negro's mother, Ella Freeman, has done what she could to secure his release, but the board regards him as one of the friendless convicts who stood in need of a helping hand, hence their recommendation. PETERSBURG, Va., Dec. 10. Attention to business and diligence and punctuality in its performance are always winning characteristics. W. K.

C., Dec. 10.—Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., retired has been appointed as military attache for the Republic of Liberia upon the request of that government. Col Young was formerly in Liberia, where Col CHARLES YOUNG he made an enviable record in behalf of military training. During the world war he was stationed at Camp Grant, near Rockford, Ill., where he played an important part in training. There are many of his best friends who believe he should be promoted to brigadier general. Bolshevism Denounced by Leading Colored Citizens of Jackson Miss JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 10—(Special)—Negro leaders calling themselves the representatives of 1,000,000 Negroes in Mississippi, in a conference in Jackson, denied that members of their race are more susceptible than their white friends of Bolshevistic propaganda. The men passed resolutions affirming their allegiance to the United States and the Stars and Stripes, deplored lawlessness and rape, denounced Belshevism and all forms of radicalism, and called upon Negroes generally to observe the law to the letter. Perry W. Howard, attorney, who has been a leader in war work, said the unswerving loyalty of the Colored race in the past is proof enough of their attitude against revolutionary doctrines, and he said he felt as certain as could be that radicalism would not take root among the Negroes. "What we want," he continued, "is protection against mob rule. We want to live in peace and be satisfied that when we lie down at night our families will not be disturbed." A. M. E.

A. at the new building, Lenox avenue and 137th street. The new building is the last of 12 erected as the result of the $4,000,000 campaign of 1913. Anti-Tuberculosis Association Doing Good Work Among Colored (By Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 10.—The work of the Anti-Tuberculosis Association among the Colored people of Atlanta has been such that it has protected not only them, but white families with which they come in contact from the ravages of the disease, declares Miss Rosa Lowe, secretary of the association. Miss Lowe says that no more white people contract tuberculosis from colored people in Atlanta than colored people contract tuberculosis from white people. A Negro woman who washes clothes for a white family in which there is tuberculosis is just as apt to catch the disease from some solled garment as a tubercular washerwoman bringing clothes to a white family is apt to give the disease to some member of the family, says Miss Lowe. Statistics in the files of the association show that a large percentage of Atlanta's colored people have been cured by the association in the past ten years, or, if they have not been cured, the disease has been so arrested that they do not endanger those about them. In addition to this, the association now is carrying on a campaign of education among the colored people that is teaching them now to live so that the condition causing tuberculosis will be stamped out. (By Myrtle Threat) The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met Thursday evening in regular communication. Although the attendance was small, the meeting proved quite interesting and all enjoyed it. How to arouse interest in the association was the chief topic for discussion. Ways and means were devised whereby we hope to create more interest in the meetings of the local branch. The Pleasant Hour Art club met last Wednesday evening with Mrs. Ed Thorton. Those present enjoyed a pleasant evening. Delicious refreshments were served, after which the meeting adjourned to meet next week with Mrs. C. Warsham. Mrs. Moss, mother of Mrs. Warsham, left last week for Pasadena, Cal., to visit her other daughter. She will remain for an indefinite stay. Mr. Arthur King left last week for the east. His first stop will be in Phoenix, where he will spend several days, after which he will be "on his way." Mrs. H. Perkins of San Francisco has joined her husband in this city. Chaplain Scott of the U. S. Tenth Cavalry was a business visitor in the city last week. Mrs. J. R. Russel returned this week from a pleasant trip to California, where she visited various places of interest. Telegrams Sent Wilson Asking Clemency for Condemned Race Men (By Associated Negro Press) BOSTON, Dec. 10.—Telegrams were sent to President Wilson, Attorney-General Palmer and Gov. Brough of Arkansas from a union Thanksgiving service of churches requesting clemency for "the eleven members of our race sentenced to death for the Elaine riots." The President was asked to request reprieves of Gov. Brough "pending impartial investigation," and the Attorney-General was urged to work for the reprieve 'to afford time to inquire into the claim that the convicted men were defending property and legal rights."

In that way Julius Rosenwald, millionaire merchant and philanthropist of Chicago explains his gifts, amounting to nearly $1,000,000 to date in behalf of the Negro race. Mr. Rosenwald was in this city to help along the Jewish war relief campaign. Not content with relief work among the Jewish race and his support of numerous educational institutions in Chicago and other cities, Mr. Rosenwald for years has been deeply interested in the welfare of the Negro people. By the end of this year gifts by him will have made possible the establishment of 1000 Negro rural schools, known as Rosenwald schools in the South. Fourteen Y. M. C. A. Negro branches as in many cities have been established, with $25,000 each as an initial fund contributed by Mr. Rosenwald. He said that his offer of $25,000 apiece to cities desiring to establish a Negro branch of the Y. M. C. A. will stand for many years. Seated in the office of Mr. Glimbel, the Chicagoan explained his "creed" of giving. "Helping the Negro people is a much-neglected work," he said. "I became interested in them several years ago when I realized that philanthropical work among them offered many opportunities. I felt that we as Americans should help these people, especially in the south, where their chances for educational advancement are slim. "Helping these people, I feel, is helping to promote good citizenship. If we don't try to give the Negroes opportunities for good citizenship, we'll be compelled to live with 10,000,000 bad citizens. If we promote better citizenship among the Negroes, not only are our Negroes benefited, but our entire citizenship is improved. For, after all, Negroes are the same human beings with same souls and aspirations as the white people, and why some persons should be prejudiced is a deep mystery to me." Mr. Rosenwald is a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, which he has helped with several gifts. In eleven states in the south 100 schools have been established or are nearing completion. Mr. Rosenwald's contributions to these schools thus far have amounted to $450,000 and have made possible the raising of $1,250,000 for the remaining expenditures which have been raised by whites and Negroes. The Y. M. C. A. buildings have cost him about $355,000. The total expenditures for these buildings amount to $2,000,000,000. These Y. M. C. A.'s are scattered over the North and South. Mr. Rosenwald's work of relief and philanthropy is particularly interesting in this city as he has announced that in the future he is to become a "citizen of Philadelphia by proxy." He plans a huge business to be established here, a branch of Sears, Robuck & Co., which will be operated by his son. By Alphonso Robinson Messrs. Will Brown and James Harris have rented six acres of land three miles from Mesa and expect to plant it to cotton next season. They hope to make a fortune on these six acres. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Prestby are staying on Palmer avenue with Dr. M. Brown. Mrs. Clara Lewis is proud of her son, who has just returned from the army. Mr. Tom Richardson has completely recovered from injuries sustained several weeks ago in an automobile accident and is - again with us. "Marguerite, can you cook?" "No, Percival. Can you afford to keep a limousine?" "No, dear." So they did not marry and they lived happily ever afterward. But the mother always has an excuse for the juvenile terror.

We have no mobbists,ristists, Red Flag wavers and what nots no countdy, save America, no flag of why join hands with an organization of respect for America and the Stars and their people and there is nothing for will and see the salvation. We consider whenever an outsider mixes in such, rest of it. We want nothing to do wi's your dog. Hands off for us. We and see it well done. After listening to Dr. F. Vining Fisher's lecture at the high school auditorium a few nights ago and carefully perusing the literature given out by this organization, we fail to see where or why colored people should align themselves with this body. They aim to make real Americans of every inhabitant of the United States, so the constitution reads, and why should we join them when our group is made up of just such citizens as they are trying to make? We have no mobbists, lynchers, I. W. W.'s, Bolshevists, Red Flag wavers and what nots in our group. We know no countdy, save America, no flag other than Old Glory, then why join hands with an organization whose purpose is to compel respect for America and the Stars and Stripes? It's their fight, their people and there is nothing for us to do, except stand still and see the salvation. We consider this a family affair and whenever an outsider mixes in such, he' invariably gets the worst of it. We want nothing to do with your fight, brethren. It's your dog. Hands off for us. We are content to stand by and see it well done. A THIRD PARTY nowing from the Independent of N. N. perhaps, be of interest to those who are to state authoritatively through The republican party—a third party—will be long campaign; that long steps already complish it; that Hiram W. Johnson candidate for the Presidency. between lines being run out from Wassitting together bits gathered confident The following from the Independent of N. Y. by Donald Wilhelm will, perhaps, be of interest to those who are in politics: I am able to state authoritatively through The Independent that a new Republican party—a third party—will be in the field in the coming campaign; that long steps already have been taken to accomplish it; that Hiram W. Johnson of California will be its candidate for the Presidency. Reading between lines being run out from Washington these days, and putting together bits gathered confidentially here and there from reliable sources, it is possible to say on fairly good grounds that the new party will do these things: 1. It will stand squarely against the League of Nations—at the very least against a League without reservations. 2. It will be anti-English, pro-Irish, anti-Japanese. 3. It will stand for public ownership of public utilities. 4. It will carry the endorsement of the Nonpartisan League. The Negro is interested in the League of Nations because he is an American. He is interested in any anti program, whether it be anti-English, anti-Japanese or anti-Irish, because he has been schooled in everything "anti" this country has been able to produce. He is the one object of all things "anti" in the United States. The Negro is interested in public ownership of public utilities, because he is a part of the public. The Negro would like to know more to determine just how much progress of the Nonpartisan League in order the League proposes to make by opposing the black American. But MOST OF ALL, the Negro is interested in himself and his welfare. He is wanting to know what political party will rise to the emergency and admit the Negro as a citizen of the United States, and as much is entitled to a just and fair recognition at the hands of the governing party. If there should arise a new party, headed by Mr. Hiram Johnson of California, will that party mean anything more of progress, of justice, of equity, of humanity than the other parties have meant in the past? The recent action of the Republicans in the House, when the Madden Bill was sent to the scrap heap, has intimated to the Negro just where the Republicans of this country stand. They evidently reason that the Negro has never received anything of importance from the Democrats, and therefore he will not vote for the Democratic ticket; they reason also that the Republican party is the only other party the Negro can look to for whatever he may hope to receive in this country. But there may come a time when the party seeking control may see the necessity of adding another plank to the platform. There may be added the plank of Common Justice for All Men. Such a plank would make interesting reading, and would offer an attraction, to say the least. Let the third party come forth, show its colors and offer its policy to the country. The Negro is in a receptive mood just now. J. J. Bowen, re county. L. L. Henry, county. Frank A. Webb Graham county. Norman Carmie Greenlee county. Dwight B. Heard icopa county. J.

Whether or not the present national administration will continue its policy of appointing only white men to look after its affairs in Liberia, under the customary agreement, is a question that is uppermost in the minds of many thoughtful Colored persons of this country. A $5,000,000 credit with this country has been recently arranged for Liberia. It will have to be ratified by the Liberian Legislature, and those in touch with affairs in the little West African Republic say it will not renounce one iota of its sovereignty in order to make the money available. DeErnest Lyon, the Liberian Consul General to this country, has just signed commissions for the white Americans who will go to Liberia at annual salaries of $3,000 each, the same being paid by the Liberian government. The men are to be given two months' vacation a year with pay and the Liberians are to pay their medical bills.

OMAHA RIOTERS FACING SERIOUS CHARGES IN COURT (Special to Tribune) OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 10.—Louis Weaver, a cook at the Rome hotel, on trial before Judge Redick in the district court, charged with throwing a can of gasoline into the court house on the night of the riot and lynching, admitted being present on side of the court house building near the window with a can of gasoline which was handed to him by an unknown person, who directed him, at the point of a gun, to dispense it, and that he dashed the gasoline alongside of the building, which stream of gasoline was always five feet from the building, and that the stream of gasoline caught fire from the building and burned him, ending his activities for the evening. The evidence for the state was straightforward, believable, convic- ing, and was corroborated by many facts and circumstances which Weaver could not deny, and to this effect: That Weaver was seen dashing the gasoline into the court house and in the act was burned about the arms and face; that he told the doctor who dressed the wounds that he was burned at the court house; that he was apprehended concealed in a house on South Seventeenth street in a small closet among and under bedclothing; that his written statement was true and was made of his own free will, and that he offered no testimony to deny that he said on the street he was going to get gasoline and set fire to the building; that Weaver is a floater, going from place to place, having been charged, tried and convicted by a court martial for desertion from the United States army and sentenced to Leavenworth military prison; that his father-in-law, who testified against him, had started proceedings to annul the marriage between his fourteen-year-old daughter and Weaver, whom Weaver had stolen. He was identified by several policemen as the man who throw gasoline into the county treasurer's office. Policeman Louis Zich pointed at Weaver from the witness stand and declared: "That man jumped on the sill of the north window of the county treasurer's office with a five-gallon can of gasoline painted red and threw the gasoline into the office where the fire was burning. "A boy of 14 years of age poured gasoline on the sill of the window before Weaver got there," continued Zich. "The window was burned and fell in. Then Weaver, wearing a sweater and without any hat, climbed upon the sill and others handed the can of gasoline up to him and he poured it on. The crowd cheered him and he said something." Admits Being in Crowd Weaver admitted being in the crowd surrounding the court house when the fire was started, and declared that the burns which he received resulted from the explosion of a can of gasoline within the treasurer's office while PHOENIX ARIZONA ACTURING Departments Arizona O CLEANEST STOCK ldon ne veler on, you know it's Right." he was attempting to enter the room through a window. A confession signed by Weaver was introduced by County Attorney Shotwell, who is prosecuting the case. This was made by Weaver right after his arrest, October 4, witnesses testified, in the office of Chief of Detectives Dunn. In it he states that he threw half a can of gasoline on the fire, but that it flared back on him and burned him. Weaver admitted signing a statement to the officers. Harry Lighall, a special officer for the Nebraska Power company, who was inside the court house night of the riot said he saw Weaver and was present at the police station when Weaver made his confession which he dictated to Detective Toland and then signed. County Attorney Shotwell told the jury that it should not have the slightest sympathy with the accused as the evidence showed beyond the slightest doubt that Weaver was guilty as charged. He emphasized the all-importance of the conscientious determination of the issues involved in the case, and that aside from the established guilt of the accused and the issues and principles connected thereto, that the greater principle which the jury would determine was whether we should have and desired the reign of lawlessness or of law and order. Chicago Mourns Loss of one of her Prominent Colored Citizens (By Associated Negro Press) BY ASSOCIATED Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 19.—One of the most widely known citizens of Chicago died Monday at Fort Dearborn hospital, where he had been confined only a few days with an attack of influenza.

This brings the total amount of bequests which have been received by Tuskegee Institute within the past twelve months to more than a million dollars. It is also interesting to note, in this connection, that the amount of regular contributions to the Institute are considerably in excess of contributions up to this time of any previous year. With the largest enrollment in the school's history, the outlook along all lines is most promising, Dr. Moton stated. PAGE TWO (By Associated Negro Press) RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 10.—(Special)—Ken. Julian S. Carr of Durham and his sons and other members of the corporation which owns the Durham hosiery mills, the largest manufacturers of hosiery in the United States, have purchased the plant of the Bowling-Emery company at Durham and will add it to the great collection of "knitters." It is capitalized at $200,000 and is named by General Carr the John O. Daniel mill, in memory of a much valued Negro servant for many years employed in his family. All the labor in this mill is to be Negro, and it will be ready for operations January 1st, being equipped with additional machinery. There are two silk mills in Fayetteville which have always been operated by Negro labor. There is also in the state a cotton mill owned and operated by Negroes. The largest Negro insurance company in the world is at Durham. One of the best Negro high schools in North Carolina is the Berry O. Kelly Training school, in a village exclusively Negro, three miles west of Raleigh, named in honor of a man who is worth perhaps $200,000, and who has been a large contributor to the school.

DOINGS OF THE VAN LOONS THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING LAW AND ORDER A NATIONAL ISSUE SAYS NOTED EDUCATOR (Special to Tribune) HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 10.—That law and order is a national issue was made clear recently by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in his address before the Negro Organization Society of Virginia and the Virginia Negro Treachers' Association, which held a four-day joint meeting in Lynchburg. Dr. Gregg said: "The riots, lynchings and kindred outrages, which have followed one another with sickening rapidity during the past few months at Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Elaine and elsewhere, remind us and prove that this epidemic of ferocity is nation-wide. The lynching of a white man in Centralia, Wash., recently, shows that no race is safe. In discussing preventive measures, Dr. Gregg added: "This is a time when the white man of the south and of the north should leave no one in doubt where they stand, whether for law and order, for decency and justice and humanity, or against these fundamentals of civilization. The kind of people who make up a mob are not such as should intimidate any American who has red blood in his veins and courage in his soul. We applaud the occasional sheriff who defies the members of the mob; are we sure that we should be equally brave? "On the other hand, let me say, just as frankly and emphatically, that the Colored people of this country owe it to themselves and to their friends to make it indisputably plain—as they usually do—that they are not countenancing or excusing any deeds of wanton violence or criminal reprisal by members of their own race. Self-defense is one thing; murder is another. The lawless man, whether white or black, is the enemy of society. He must be restrained and sternly punished for the sake of the whole community. "If the cure of such evils—lynching in particular—can be accomplished through local agencies, by all means let it be done so. But if not, the time seems ripe for the adoption of the course suggested by the Atlanta Constitution and the Houston Post, namely, federal intervention." Germans Leave America With Hatred in Their Hearts (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—A very interesting letter appeared recently in the New York Trilune from a German, who was about to leave America. He said, in part: "Sir—Just a few more days and I shall be happy to leave your country as one of the first, following your oft-repeated advice that every German had better seek other quarters. Of course, you failed to comprehend that the oceans were closed to us, as well as other countries bordering on your own, in particular Mexico, owing to your government's restrictions issued against us. "I shall sail away, and I assure you many hundred thousands will follow with hatred in their hearts for America. On our homeward voyage we again will have the doubtful privilege of passing your Statue of Liberty, but we will see the old lady with a malicious grin on her face trying to hold back her laughter at the fools that expected to find America the land of opportunity and freedom. "In Germany I have a mission to perform. "I shall undertake to explain to a large audience why they should stay away from this country. "I shall describe the sufferings, the humiliations, your fanatical orgy of manufactured patriotism which we Germans and German-speaking people went through. "Last year your country, the so-called "land of the free and the home of the brave," lynched sixty-two human beings, among them Prager and fifty-eight Negroes. Some day, and the day is not far away, you will have to account for the wholesale killings of your Colored brothers; and I as- sure you at the first opportunity the Colored South will throw off your misrule and create its own free, independent government. "Yes, we Germans will help them; we will help any one arrayed against you, just as much as you have helped others to strike down a nation at a time it was bleeding out of ninety-nine wounds. "Just as the heart of South Aemica hates you, and as much as every soul in Panama, Columbia, Mexico, Japan and many other countries detests you, just as much, and, if possible, to a much greater degree, we Germans hate you, until the day when we can settle accounts with you. "They will and must be settled." CHALLENGE RESOLUTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA A. S NEW YORK.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its chairman, Mary White Ovington, has issued a statement challenging a resolution of the American Legion of South Carolina which stated that the association's activities would tend to cause friction between the races. The statement, which asserts that colored soldiers from South Carolina outnumbered white, and that the percentage of illiteracy among the colored troops was less than among the white, is as follows: "I am at a loss to understand your position regarding the work of a body that lays special stress upon securing due process of law rather than mob violence for Negroes, whether they live in the North or the South. Our branches, in whatever states they may operate, voice the sentiment of the educated, law-abiding Negroes who have so recently helped America to achieve victory in the Great War. We note, however, that your resolution condemning our activities is from "the American Legion of South Carolina, representing the white soldier who fought in the recent great war." "We feel that we are right in con- sidering also the opinion of the colo- red soldiers of South Carolina, who outnumbered the white, particularly in view of the fact that among the colored there was less illiteracy than among their white comrades in arms." Very truly yours, (Signed) "MARY WHITE OVINGTON, "Chairman." GEORGIA BAPTISTS RAISE $50,000 AT STATE CONVENTION (By Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 0—The General Missionary Baptist convention of Georgia, Colored, has just closed its fourth annual session at Macon, with one of the best reports ever made for this state. Some months ago the leaders of this convention set out to raise $50,000 in cash for missions and education, but when the totals were counted, it was found that they had raised $51,596. There was considerable rejoicing when the results were made known, for this money just raised will pay off the outstanding debts and place the denomination in a position to enter the new year with a bigger and more effective program for the work that must be done through the educational institutions and the cause of missions. M. W. Reddick of Americus, Ga., is the president of this convention. Rev. D. D. Crawford, Dr. D. W. Cannon, Dr. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, and a host of the leaders of the church in this state helped make this fine report possible. First Duty "It is as much the duty of the patriotic American citizen to economize as it was when our boys were over there," says A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney general of the United States, in charge of the government's investigation of profiteering. "All public men, as well as the press and the pulpit, should preach saving. They should plead with the people to do these things—produce more, consume less; work and save." Wesleyan college at Macon, Ga. was founded in 1836, and is therefore older than Elmyra college, chartered in 1852. It is the oldest woman's college in the United States.

INCORPORATED under the laws of the State of Illinois as an Old Line or Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company and is at the present time uunder state supervision. PERSONNEL OF COMPANY BEGETS CONFIDENCE Never before has a financial proposition been submitted to the Negroes of Chicago that has so many of our leading business and professional men directly responsible for its future, and the reputation of these men, in addition to the fact that the organization is at the present time under State Supervision, should be sufficient evidence to eliminate all doubts in the minds of our people as to the safety of the investment. The laws governing the insurance companies are so much more rigid than any other branch in the financial world that a failure of a life insurance company organized under the Old Line or Legal Reserve Plan of the various states is almost unheard of.
