AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE TRIBUNE IS A DIRECT PERSONAL APPEAL TO COLORED PEOPLE
VOL. III. No. 5
(Special to the Tribune)
NEW YORK, N. Y., April 28. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, made public today copies of telegrams passing between the association and the Governor and Acting Governor of Mississippi, in which the association asked legal protection for a lawyer to appeal the case of the Rev. E. R. Franklin, of Jackson, Miss., a colored minister, who was fined $400 and sentenced to five months on the county farm at Tchula, Miss., for selling the Crisis, the official organ of the association, and whose lawyer, employed by colored people of Jackson, Miss., the association says, was intimidated by a mob which threatened to lynch him if he attempted to defend the colored minister. The association declares that a local justice of the peace refused the tender of a bond to cover the cost of appeal, declaring that Franklin would be lynched if released and that his only assurance of protection was for him to work out his sentence. The reply of the Acting Governor to the association's request for legal protection was a declaration that "if the editors of this sheet (The Crisis) would visit Mississippi, we would make an example of them that would be a lasting benefit to the colored people of the South and would not soon be forgotten." The association in its statement says that it is uncertain from the Acting Governor's telegram whether the "example" to which he refers means a threatened lynching or a court sentence of unusual severity. In either case, says the statement, the association wants to know whether the right of appeal to a higher court is to be denied in Mississippi by mob intimidation and sustained by the Governor's office, and whether the Negro in Mississippi has any rights which white men are bound to respect. The association repeated its request for legal protection.
The telegrams follow:
April 20, 1920.
Hon. Lee M. Russell, Governor,
Jackson, Miss.:
We are advised that lawyers employed by colored people went to Tchula, Miss., April 15, to provide bond for appealing case of Rev. E. R. Franklin, Negro minister, sentenced to six months and fined $400 for selling Crisis, published by National Association for Advancement of Colored People; that lawyer was intimidated by mob of 200 men, who threatened violence if he dared represent Franklin; that justice of peace declined bond although it had been properly certified by sheriff and was thereby made valid under the law; that justice told lawyer Franklin would be lynched if released; that his only salvation was to work out sentence on county farm. Association appeals to you for protection for lawyer to undertake appeal and asks that you advise us whether you will guarantee protection to lawyer to appeal case to higher court. Would appreciate wire at our expense.

Do You Want This Trade?
(Special to the Tribune)
St. Louis, Mo., April 28—Bishop Charles Henry Phillips, D. D., LL. D., of Nashville, Tenn., will deliver an address Sunday afternoon, May 2, at 3 o'clock, at Dr. Shaw's church, on the organic union of the A. M. E. A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. churches. While the bishop is not opposed to the union, he does oppose the union of these churches on the recent plan adopted at Birmingham, Ala., which, he asserts in fourteen points is not adequate. Bishop Phillips is an able speaker and one of the leaders of Negro Methodism, and his opinions command respect.

(By Associated Negro Press.)

COLORED WOMAN SERVING TIME FALLS HEIR TO FORTUNE
(By Associated Negro Press.)

YUMA--SOMERTON
J. Henry Clark, the Grand Master-elect of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona, was called to Prescott Monday to meet and confer with the Masons of Prescott in regard to straightening out the craft of this city. For many years there has been discord and unrest in the Colored fraternal circles on account of two lodges of other jurisdictions in this one city. After careful consideration and some of the best Masonic brethren coming together for real tangible study of the situation, it was decided by all present to drop out of the other jurisdictions and pay allegiance to the most worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons (Col.) of Arizona. This being done, the officers were elected as follows: D. J. Todd, Worshipful Master; J. N. Burkhart, S. W.; G. L. Scales, J. W. Paris Tabron, secretary; G. W. Taylor, treasurer; J. W. Harvey, chapain; H. L. Johnson, S. D.; Russell Cannon, tyler.
Other officers to be appointed later. The name of this lodge, Invincible No. 2.
A committee was immediately appointed to secure suitable headquarters for the meeting of the lodge. This being the only legitimate lodge in Prescott working under the Grand Lodge of Arizona, the charter was filed in the recorder's office of this county. It is hoped that Colored Masons will from this time on have an easy sail with only one lodge in this city, upholding principle and doing creditable things. As there is now a Colored Grand Lodge in this state, it appears that the welfare of all concerned can be amply taken care of in such a manner that its strength will be felt throughout the state.

SPEAKER DENOUNCED THE COLORED RACE IN LEGISLATIVE HALL
(By Associated Negro Press)
Boston, Mass., April 28.—Charging that the bill introduced in the House to "secure equal opportunity to all citizens of the commonwealth for employment in street railway companies" was designed to further employment of Negroes as strike-breakers on the elevated, Representative Burke of Boston declared in the House, the measure had been introduced by two Democratic politicians who were scheming to get to Congress. Representative Burke failed to mention their names. He declared the matter was purely political, attacked the colored race, and added he would not trust a Negro in any political matter. Mr. Brown of Brockton said the bill should be passed, and Mr. Stone of Boston protested against Mr. Burke's speech as an insult to the Negro race.
HOWARD UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR OF MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS TO HAVE CHARGE

EDUCATION MAKES BETTER CITIZENS BETTER SOLDIERS
(By Associated Negro Press.)
TOPEKA, Kans., April 28.—"Our national civilization is only so strong as its weakest component parts," said Dr. Wm. Pickens, in an address at Memorial Hall, to local Colored people in the effort to get them to take more interest in educational matters. Speaking in the interests of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, he pointed out that the war brought out the need for higher education among members of the Race. The fact that Colored soldiers were taught to read and write so they could become better fighters, Dr. Pickens said, is evidence that they would also be better citizens if educated.

GEN. WOOD'S STRENGTH LIES PRINCIPALLY WITH COLORED AMERICANS
GEN. WOOD'S STRENGTH LIES PRINCIPALLY WITH COLORED AMERICANS
(Special to the Tribune.)
CHICAGO, April 28.—George H. Walker, the secretary of the Leonard Wood League in this city, declared last Tuesday that so far as Illinois is concerned, that the nomination of General Wood, would be the most profitable thing for the party to do in June, because it looked to him that the republicans would have Governor Edwards of New Jersey to beat in the November election. "Wood's strength," declared Mr. Walker, is undoubted among the Colored voters. Governor Lowden seems to be a bit old-fashioned to suit the Colored voters of today. With Wood as a candidate, what there is of radical temper among the Colored elements will be neutralized. I look for Wood to be nominated on the third ballot."

It will be worth going miles to see, for Rufus and Speed Ball are bitter enemies.
INFLUENZA IS TAKING LARGE TOLL OF BLACKS IN THE SOUTHLAND
(By Associated Negro Press.)
SANDERSVILLE, Ga., April 28.—Large numbers of deaths among the Colored people of the county have been reported from various sections in some instances entire families having succumbed to the prevailing epidemic of influenza and pneumonia. The lack of knowledge of sanitary conditions and the want of proper medical treatment have combined to bring about this condition among the Colored population in all sections of the county, some very robust specimens of manhood and womanhood having succumbed to the attack of the disease.
Don't worry about dying, thing living.

E. V. Cammel, of Denver, Colo., Grand Master of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, lodges of Colorado jurisdiction, made his annual visit to Brown Temple No. 16 of Phoenix last week. Grand Master Cammel met with the Temple on Tuesday evening with Princess E. M. Brown and Sisters. He gave a very interesting lecture to the members and visiting sisters present, touching along the line of high moral standard and true sisterhood. He also conferred the Temple degrees and Royal House degrees upon Brother J. J. Brown of Belle of Arizona lodge No. 11, U. B. F. On Wednesday evening he conferred the Royal House degrees upon the majority of the sisters of Brown Temple No. 16, after which light refreshments were served.
Grand Master Cammel is a clear-thinking, broad-visioned man. Many years of experience as Grand Master of Colorado and Jurisdiction of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. lodges, in connection with other lodges and business concerns, have given him a grasp on present day issues and conditions such as few of our men possess today. He is a deep-thinking man of public affairs. He pointed a new vista to all who heard him. He is intensely practical and always constructive in his manner. He has a sparkling wit that gives his lectures decided educational worth and merit. His profession is that of a first class undertaker located at 2418 Welton street, Denver, Colo. Too much cannot be said of Grand Master Cammel in his efforts throughout the whole jurisdiction.
While here, Grand Master Cammel organized the Phoenix Rose Buds Juveniles, about fifteen in number. On Thursday at 1 o'clock p. m., Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Washington of 1421 East Van Buren street, entertained in honor of Grand Master Cammel, covers being laid for six, and a sumptuous seven-course dinner was served.

COMMENCEMENT TIME
Graduation days will soon be here and our boys are
will come forth from the schools and colleges filled with
and bubbling with enthusiasm. The question arises as
able employment for them. What have we to offer? We
claim because of the fact that we have nothing suitable
them? Have we done our part at home while they were
school? These are questions we must answer. No doo-
tissue, we must face it squarely.
Our own conscience condemns us, because we know
what we have not done our duty. Race enterprises fun-
answer for this perplexing question, and we of this sect
few if any worthy ones to which we may point. And, we
we supported liberally with our means the few worth-
prises we have? I fear we have not. Who, then, is to be
this sad state of affairs? Had we thrown our support
of our race who launched out in business, they would h
rations to offer some of these boys and girls. As it is,
nothing to offer them and must content ourselves, and I
have to be contented with such menial positions as our
of the opposite race see fit to offer them. This condition
colorable and it is high time for us to take cognizance of
and start doing something for ourselves.
If a boy spends four years in college and when he
home to his parents is forced to accept a position as
operator, what inducement is that to others to conti-
nue education? They will reason thus: "What is the use of
all that time in school when no special training is requi-
the position held by one of our college graduates?" His-
ing is good, sound and logical, and unless we combine
sources, operate businesses of our own and MAKE posi-
the boys and girls, we cannot hope to induce our ch
continue their education. Our salvation and the salvation
children lie within our power; therefore, let us bestir or
awake to the sense of our duty and get busy.

TEN RULES TO OBSERVE
The race that fails to do all within its power to up will never rise. It is the Divine plan that the strong side the weak, but God himself does not do for us what we can ourselves. This is true of the individual and of one race of another.
Much has been done; much is being done, and must be done to help the backward races to rise. Friends in the land friends in the South are helping the Negro, and who are disposed to feel that we have been helped sufficient who know the condition of the masses realize that we facing social problems more serious than we have ever faced unless friends in the North and friends in the South co-opt the mass of Negroes, both races will suffer.
While this is true, it must also be remembered that are some things that our best friends cannot do for us, sympathy and outside help count much, but the main mind to rise, comes from developing our innate powers. I not how poor or how ignorant we are, whether we live North or in the South, in the East or in the West, we much for ourselves that will count more in real advance than the gift of thousands of dollars from friends who ous to see us go forward.
I believe that there are just ten things that affect vitally, our progress that we alone can and must do.
First, we must get right with God, and make our religious. Less noise, and feeling more quiet, wholesome, or living.
Second, we must be honest, truthful, and more reli-
The race that fails to do all within its power to uplift itself will never rise. It is the Divine plan that the strong shall help the weak, but God himself does not do for us what we can do for ourselves. This is true of the individual and of one race as it is of another.
Much has been done; much is being done, and much must be done to help the backward races to rise. Friends in the North and friends in the South are helping the Negro, and while many are disposed to feel that we have been helped sufficiently, those who know the condition of the masses realize that we are now facing social problems more serious than we have ever faced, and unless friends in the North and friends in the South combine to lift the mass of Negroes, both races will suffer.
While this is true, it must also be remembered that there are some things that our best friends cannot do for us. Money, sympathy and outside help count much, but the main thing, the mind to rise, comes from developing our innate powers. It matters not how poor or how ignorant we are, whether we live in the North or in the South, in the East or in the West, we can do much for ourselves that will count more in real advancement than the gift of thousands of dollars from friends who are anxious to see us go forward.
I believe that there are just ten things that affect, most vitally, our progress that we alone can and must do.
First, we must get right with God, and make our religion practical. Less noise, and feeling more quiet, wholesome, every-day living.
Second, we must be honest, truthful, and more reliable.
Third, we must keep our bodies clean.
Fourth, we must keep our homes clean.
Fifth, we must keep our yards clean, back and front. Sixth, we must stop hanging over the gate and our window. Seventh, we must behave ourselves better on the street in public carriers and stop talking so much and loud. Eighth, we must make the word "Negro" a synonym, cleanliness, intelligence, industry, righteousness, so with our might what our hands find to do. Ninth, we must be loyal and helpful to our race by ening all worthy efforts put forth for its uplift. We must solid front in all questions affecting the proper develop our race.

Seventh, we must behave ourselves better on the street and in public carriers and stop talking so much and loud.
Eighth, we must make the word "Negro" a synonym for honest, cleanliness, intelligence, industry, righteousness, by doing so with our might what our hands find to do.

Sen. McCormick Believes Some Good Has Come From Recent Outbreaks
(By Associated Negro Press)
CHICAGO, Ill., April 2—In a letter, recently sent by Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, to the Associated Negro Press on the migration of the race from the south to the north the senator has this to say:
"The migration of agricultural workers to industrial centers, the economic developments in the industrial field, have profoundly modified, and will more profoundly modify, the environment of a large part of the colored population of the country. The violent outbreaks in some of our cities, to which lawless elements of both races immediately contributed, have borne some good fruit. Leaders of the colored and white races, public-spirited, wise and prudent, have joined their purposes to secure an adjustment of the differences between colored and white people, to their common advantage and advancement."
WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT ON WOMEN OF THE WORLD?
(By Dr. Constance Long, English Physician)
The emotional problem, the problem created by the fact that something like ten millions of men lost their lives in the war, is one of the supreme questions which must be faced in summing up war's effect upon women. To say just what will happen is difficult, but it is certain that millions who would have married cannot do so under today's conditions.
Women will have to find their own way out. Emotions which might have been expressed in marriage will have to be diverted. One of the conditions which have kept women inferior has been the fact that they were dependent upon men for their happiness. However natural and necessary this may have been up to a certain point it must not now be considered a tragedy if woman finds new values in herself. She will be forced also to find equivalent values in other directions. Changes therefore are inevitable and we must not be too ready to say what is right and what is wrong.
The banked up energy which would naturally be expressed in marriage will find effective expression. It won't be wasted. It has been said that women have not in times past made great artists nor first-rate scientists. We may have come to the time when they will begin to do big things. Some one has said that "what the world needs is a generation of single women." That means that the world needs feminine energy devoted to creative purposes and not entirely absorbed in married life.
This is not to say that married life should be underrated or robbed of the genius that it needs. It is to emphasize that the whole of life is not included in marriage, and that the war, having brought about unnatural conditions, affords woman an opportunity to adapt her sex and her power to making a new status for herself.
A little authority is oftimes like a little learning, a dangerous thing in the hands of a little mind.
The years pass, but tomorrow is ever tomorrow.
South Carolina Has Lynching Bee
(By Associated Negro Press)
LAURENS, S. C., April — George Robertson, was taken from the city jail at Laurens, S. C., and hanged to a railroad bridge on the outskirts of the city. Robertson was charged with having cut three white boys with a knife after interterring in behalf of another colored boy in a dispute with the boys. Police arrested Robertson and then started a search for the other boy. While the search was in progress the mob stoned the jail, obtained the prisoner and rushed him to the bridge where he was hanged. Later the body was riddled with bullets.
E. H. SOTHERN VISITS
HOWARD UNIVERSITY
WASHINGTON, D. C. — E. S. Sothern, the great dramatist, who with his wife, Julia Marlowe, has been playing to capacity audiences in Washington for two weeks, paid an unusual compliment to the officers, teachers, and students of Howard University by reading to them from Shakespearean dramas and from other selections on Friday, April 9th, in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Because of conditions in Washington, the colored people have not been permitted to see or hear Sothern and Marlowe read the Battle Hymn of the Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe paid the colored people the compliment of reading to them at Howard University and at the Dunbar high school during their visit to Washington. Miss Marlowe read the aBittle Hymn of the Republic at the Dunbar high school, but was prevented by the many demands upon her from appearing at Howard University. Mr. Sothern was most generous in his rendition of selections. For more than an hour he read one selection after another, giving the students and teachers of the university full opportunity to appreciate his finished art. His introductory addresses at both places on the valor of the colored troops he met in France, and on the pleasure and satisfaction it gave him to meet the colored people of Washington during his stay here, were warmly applauded. Seldom has he received so generous a welcome anywhere as given him by the representative colored people of Washington who gathred at both Howard University and the Dunbar high school with officers, teachers, and students of those institutions to greet him and his distinguished wife.
DR. PICKENS SPEAKS
AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY
Washington, District of Columbia.—Another distinguished visitor who has spoken at the university during the month is Dr. Williams Pickens, associate secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Dr. Pickens spoke under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A. which is privilege each year to hold a special meeting to be addressed by some speaker of outstanding reputation. Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel was crowded to the doors, seats being at a premium, many standing, and many being unable to secure admission upon the occasion of Dr. Pickens' visit. He spoke upon the general subject of "Racial Self-Respect." His address was one of the red letter events of the year.

_ WASHINGTON; D. C. — President
Nicholas Mufray ‘Butler of Columbia
‘University, addressed the students of
‘Howard University, Monday morning,
March 29th, in Andrew Rankin Memor-

He traced in chaste language the
‘steps one must take to reach the sta-
