Governor Gifford Pinchot has appointed a Negro as a mem- ber of the State Boxing Com- mission in the person of Mr. Banks Fred White. We con- tribute Mr. White upon his treatment, and we feel cer- tain that he will be able to help in boxing as clean as it is in this writing. As far as we are, Mr. White is an athlete some accomplishments; and being him as capable as the arguments of the job de- liver. we can not congratulate Negroes of Pennsylvania their governor's concept of representation. The governor needs advice as to the Negro of the present demands in politics. The governor is laboring under hyphimpressions, evidently. Negroes of Pennsylvania do want to be represented on facing Commission, or a Fight Program. Negroes Pennsylvania are not interested in prize fighters as race presentatives. Negroes are trusted in higher things in the establishment of fighters. Prize fighters are more students, in a generation of stress; they are not factors, an indication of what we let us suggest a few in Pennsylvania, where might be appointed by senior Pinchot to the credit State, and to the advantage of the Negroes all over country: Our Educational item has no Negro representative. Our Board of Prison Farm and Investigation it to have a Negro on it. are very much connected crime and criminology. Commission on Constitutional Revision has no Negro. We are very much interested in the laws and law enforcement. The Motion Pictures Board has no Negro. God knows the virtues of every kind by the mercenary Regnates. Yet, we have use on the Board to speak us or to censor unfair and applied films released at the Negro. The Public Fire Commission could use very nicely, if the Gov could see the propriety giving us something higher a judge of prize fighters. Workman's Compensation and the Board which passes the very life and blood of poor laborers man, ought have a Negro somewhere on personnel. The Department health, which deals with tubercosis, diseases of every latter, and conditions affect Negroes in particular could make use of some race members, physicists and nurses, but the Gov has never thought of it, really. had so on with other sugars too numerous to mention. Why is it the governor we thought that Negroes interested in education, in labor conditions, in law and law enmenet? Why should the terror think that our concession in government is confined to prize interests? He has not advised, evidently. And fact that no other governor better advised than himself is no excuse for his ignorance of our ambitions as we. He must know that he held to a higher responsibility than many others with gates, and we demand a recognition commensurate our responsibilities. We much prefer to have nothing to say about the edifice of our children than to so much to say about the rights. till we get suitable recog- tations, we can not throw any final fits over our governor, evidently thinks we are much in need of a new of prize fighters. Jack Jason was quite enough, prison. Year-Old Girl Is Killed by Brother N.

President "Thinks It's Nav Woman Goes On Trial For Man's Death Scenes of Shooting at Burke's Hall to Be Reenacted in Court This Week. The jury in the case of Mrs. Mary Mechan, 25 years old, of South Side who is accused of fatally stabbing Mack Bryson, in a Hill district dancing pavillion, May 26, has been selected, and the trial will get under way this week. Mrs. Mechan, who is separated from her husband, is said to have met Bryson at Burke's Hall, Wylie Avenue and Fullerton Street. The trouble is said to have started between the couple over the woman's telling Bryson that she would be at work on the night of the dance, and his unexpected coming to the dance, and finding her in the arms of a rival. Witnesses for the state will testify that the woman, when upbraided for her apparent faithlessness, opened her purse, took out a small knife and fatally stabbed her parapour. Witness for the defense will allege that the woman stabbed in self-defense. Ku Klux Klan Rooted In Harvard, Alleged NEW YORK, Oct. 25—The continued existence of the Ku Klux Klan within the precincts of Harvard University, and the growing popularity of the secret organization is the subject of an article in "The Harvard Crimson," undergraduate daily, Monday morning. Harvard authorities decline to take the matter seriously. ThreatAgainst W.Va.Families Is Laid To Klan STEUBENVILLE, O., Oct. 25—A dozen or more families were Tuesday night preparing to leave the mill town of Follansbee, W. Va., south of here, because of a warning painted on a tin mill fence facing the quarter Monday night. The message was painted sportly after two fiery crosses were burned on the hill overflowing the colored section. Officials of the town credit the Ku Klux Klan with the warning. Race citizens for years were excluded from the town, but recently many colored families were brought in by industrial concerns. The families announced their intention of leaving. CHICAGO BUSINESS MAN SUES STOKES FOR $50,000 One Of Sixteen Named By Aged Millionaire Libel and Slander Charges Filed Following Allegation That Daniel Jackson Had Been "Friendly" With Mrs. Stokes. son and Margaret Jackson Mangum, undertakers, of Pittsburgh, Pa., sued W. E. D. Stokes, of New York, for $50,-000 damages. Stokes (white), who is suing his wife for divorce in the New York Courts, charged Jackson with being friendly with his wife, Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes. Jackson, who is a reputable business man, has charged the aged white millionaire with libel and slander, and that the publicity relative to his relations with the white woman have ruined his business. Jackson is one of the 16 men of both races with whom Stokes saves his wife was intimate at one time or another. Conspicuous in the case is Mrs. Hattie Johnson, a comely colored woman, described as "one of nimble wit, handsome furs and handsomer motor cars," who has been active in rounding up a number of witnesses of Mrs. Stokes' alleged infidelity. Last week she was ejected from the courtroom where the Stokes trial is in progress on suspicion of coaching witnesses with a huge gold crucifix she wore around her neck. Annual State Convention Of Baptists Meet President Points Out Inefficiency of Church Program in Annual Address The Annual Baptist Convention of the State of Pennsylvania opened here Tuesday evening, at 8:15 in The People's Gospel Tchnice with the President, Dr. J. C. Austin presiding. Other officers present at the opening were: H. W. Childs also of Pittsburgh, H. G. Hoee, Washington, Pa., and O. P. Goodwin, Steelton, Pa. The Woolman's Department was presided over by Mrs. Alice Tucker of Philadelphia. The Convention's chief object is to foster and encourage christian education, home and foreign mission work. The school at present, written in its constitution as the object of its educational support is the Virginia Theological Seminary and College located at Lynchburg, Va. The Convention has been in existence for nearly a half century and today has a membership of 150, 150.00. According to the report coming from the Federal Council of Churches the Baptists in Pennsylvania outnumber all other denominations of color combined. The present President has been in office just one year and has reorganized the entire state with a program for this session set to the tune of a very definite service. Among the many plans, a campaign is now (Continued on Page 10, Col. 4.) Plan Memorial For Mrs. Talbert BUFFALO, N.

A. A. C. P. It is planned to make this movement nation-wide, and a mass meeting is being held in one of the city's largest churches next Monday night. Wholesale Expulsions Cause Move Proposed Committee Would Study Local Conditions to Prevent Repetition of Stowe Township Affair. Smoldering indignation over the recent prejudiced and un-American treatment of local Colored citizens by self-styled preservers of right and justice and the wholesale arrest of innocent immigrants from the South, burst into a flame of protest when representative citizens, in committee proposed the forming of an inter-racial council to "study the mal-adjustments referred to with a view of directing a course of peace, progress and good will." The committee makes the following statement: "A most distressing crime wave grabs on community. The unlawful expulsion of innocent citizens to suppress it; the consequent mercy desecrese of hate and misunderstanding which threaten, with further complications and ills, make it imperative that a few law-abiding, peace-loving Afro-American citizens of this community present a public statement expressive of their concern with an appeal to white Americans for a sane and sober interracial treatment of the causes producing this unhappy situation. In the recent effort to expel certain Afro-American citizens from Stowe Township, we are presented with a tragic illustration of an obstinate attitude of intolerance on the part of one group of American citizens toward another—a dangerous incompatibility which seems to be on the increase among white and colored groups in this and other communities. The real cause of the trouble referred to is not original with Stowe Township, it is directly and indispensable, traceable in its origin to the real-administration of the economic, political and social principles of the United States government especially as it has been made to affect Afro-American life and opportunity. The very preamble of our constitution makes it impossible for two race groups or other kinds of groups to live side by side in peace when the government machinery in all of its operation is made contributive to the happiness and advancement of one group and forces and permits to be forced despotism upon the other group. The processes of civilization naturally operate faster in the uphlift, and refinement of the group thus governmentally favored and correspondingly slower with group (Continued on Page 10, Col. 1) (Continued on Page 10, Col. 1) Charles White Is Selected By Gov. Pinchot Commission of Three Men to Regulate Athletics in State—White Active Politically—Gets $5,000 Per Year. By ROLLO W. WILSON (Special to The Pittsburgh Courier) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 25. — Charles Fred White, former University of Bannerville track star and now in the real estate business in this city, is one of three men named by Governor Gifford Pinchot as members of the State Athletic Commission. The board was created by the 1923 legislature to regulate and control boxing and wrestling. The appointments for the following terms: William H. Rocap, Philadelphia, to serve until January 1, 1927; White, Philadelphia, to serve until January 1, 1926; and Havey J. Boyle, Pittsburgh, to serve until January 1, 1925. Each of the appointees is widely known in athletic and sporting circles. Active Politically It is due to the activity of White a year ago that Governor Pinchot credits the large colored vote cast in this city in his successful campaign for the gubernatorial nomination. "The original Colored Pinchot supporter" is the way the new boxing commissioner is described by those who know of his efforts in the bitter Alter-Pinchot fight. The governor's knowledge of White, however, antedates by many years his campaign for governor. Both are Phillips-Exeter Academy graduates, and Mr. Pinchot's first acquaintance with the new commissioner was when the latter figured as one of Exeter's athletic hopefuls. They were not in school at the same (Continued on Page 10, Col. 3.) Group of Local Women Call on A. C. Gumbert "I'm Not a Klansman," Commissioner Tells Representatives of County Organization. Moved by an article which recently appeared in the Pittsburgh Courier, a committee of Women, representing the Womens' County Organization called upon Commissioner A.C. Gumbert to learn whether he has any connection, direct or indirect, with the Ku Klux Klan. The article in question appeared some time ago, and it contained what Mr. Gumbert termed a strong inference that he is connected with the K. K. K., although the article did not directly charge as much. It was largely because a brother, or cousin, of Mr. Gumbert was charged with introducing to voters a man who is reported to be a Klansman that Mr. Gumbert took exceptions to the article and resented its contents. He even called the editor of the Courier in question about the article, and the editor told the Commissioner that if he, the (Continued on Page 10, Col. 8.)

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 25—President Coolidge has approved the "back-to-the-Southland" suggestion as outlined to him by Col. H. L. Remmel, collector of internal revenue for this city and Republican national committeeman from this state, according to reports brought back by Remmel. The plan calls for the appointment of a Negro commission to study the Negro exodus to the North and take steps to remedy the conditions that now exist. Col. Remmel returned here from Washington, D. C., Monday morning, where he had a conference with the President. Col. Remmel previously had discussed the plan with the late Presi- (Continued on Page 10. Col. 3.) Colored C. of C.

Remmel's authority to represent the Negroes of Arkansas, and urged fair dealing between landlord and tenants and equality in Republican party in the South as a better remedy than Federal intervention in checking the wholesale exodus from the South. MILWAUKEE business man—evidently a member or at least a "sympathizer" of the Ku Klux Klan has canceled an advertisement because The Leader told the truth about the Klan. The action of this man is in keeping with the spirit and practice of the hooded Night Shirters. Now, if we would act in the same spirit, we would simply name the man and his place of business and drive him into bankruptcy—besides making it inconvenient for him to live in this town. As that man well knows, our clientele is very strong and very numerous. And they might "klux" also—if spurned and goaded sufficiently. However, this is an American Socialist paper — which means, we are ruled by exactly the opposite of the Klan spirit. He may rest his soul in peace—or in his hobbed nightie. We shall not tell his name. The economic reasons for men to join the Klan—North or South—are based upon envy and hate caused by the success of "the other fellow". Their talk about "patriotism" is simply by-play and the "smoke screen." Thus, some little grocer will join the Ku Klux Klan because in his block a Russian Jew has opened a fruit store and is selling groceries cheaper than he. The Russian Jew, being areustomed to a lower standard of living, can get along with his family on a smaller margin of profit. Instead of trying to beat this competitor by more modern business methods, by studying the market and selling better goods—our grocer becomes a Jew-hater and joins a Ku Klux Klan. Or, an indolent lawyer waiting for clients that do not come. Next door is an active Irishman who has a "silver tongue" and is considered a good fighter—or, a young Jew who has native shrewdness and is not afraid of looking up cases in fat volumes. They get the business. The old lawyer complains that he is not making money enough to pay his office rent. He is willing and ready to join the Ku Klux Klan. Such are the economic reasons for the spread of the Klan. But then there are, of course, also old religious prejudices—not only against the Jew, but also against the Roman Catholic. 串串 The Roman Catholic church is a big, old and international institution. As a matter of fact, it is the only church that has made any headway in America during the last 30 years. In the South, moreover, there is also the old time-worn issue of "keeping the Negro in his place"—an issue which appeals even to some people of a low mentality up North. The Negro question at best is not an easy question to solve, however. America will yet have to pay in the future the penalty of having had the poor blacks brought here by brute force—and as slaves—from their native homes in Africa. And let me quote here the opinion of a man who is an Anglo-Saxon and who has lived in the South a long time—the opinion of an educated and fearless man. Mr. Frank Putnam has recently returned from a trip down South, where he has some near kin living. And this is what he said: "I wish to tell the young men of Wisconsin that in those states the Klan is made up largely of bootleggers and other law-breakers, cowardly politicians of the cheaper sort, emotional fanatics touched with inherited race hatred, and men who wish to execute personal vengeance, outside of the law. * * * "Today, over large areas in several southern states, the Klan has established a veritable reign of terror.

"I AM certain of one thing," a relative by marriage with whom Miss Causey lived until last January, stated to a reporter, "Miss Causey's mother was a white woman. Beyond that I cannot go, but she has always been regarded as a white woman since she came here from the country some years ago." The young woman herself stated that she was white. BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 25—Is Miss Roma Causey, mother of a three months-old baby, the father of whom she claims to be Edward Coleman, white, 3183 Ravenwood St., a white or a colored woman? This question puzzled the Judge and officials in part 2 of the Criminal Court Wednesday when she hailed him into court to have the law determine what support she or the child should receive from its white father. When the case of Coleman was called and the Deputy District Attorney called the prosecuting witness 'Miss Causey, to the stand, nor unmistakable dark olive color that always denotes the mixture of racial parentage at once placed her in the mind of Judge Stanton, in the colored race. As usual with cues of this type he sent for a coloured probation officer and asked that he set through the case. When the story of the case began to unravel itself it was found that either Miss Causey claimed the status of a white woman, or that she had succeeded in passing to the satisfaction of all concerned. According to the testimony of Miss Causey she met Coleman more than a year ago while she was employed as a domestic servant. At this time she lived at 2624 Frisby street, and here she stated her lover visited her almost daily or nightly. She stated that there was also letters that she could produce to substantiate her testimony. It was also stated that following this claim Coleman took the girl to Togsworth, where a wedding ceremony was performed, but that it shortly developed that he was already a married man.

Urging Passing of Anti-Lynch Bill CLIENGINY WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25—Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri has left Washington on a speaking tour in behalf of his anti-lynching bill, which passed the House at the last session of Congress, but failed of conflation in the enate because of a Democratic filibuster, led by Senator Underwood of Alabama. Dyer's itinerary took him to Charlestown and Huntington, W. Va., Wis., and Chicago, where he has already spoken before thousands of people of both races. but did not testify. As a result of this relation there was born her baby. Although Coleman denied the fatherhood of the child he was finally found guilty and ordered to pay a weekly allowance of $8 for its support. During this procedure the case had been transferred from the colored probation department to the white division, and the status of the baby therefore set down as white. Miss Causey, who is an attractive type and who might easily be placed in the average group of women of mixed blood, is now employed as attendant at the Baby's Hospital at Schoeder and Franklin Streets. While the laws of Maryland do not allow intermarriage, and then if Miss Causey is a colored woman, this baby with a white father can never enjoy legal parentage, but there also makes it obligatory on every proven father to support his child and the court has thus given this baby this support and the benefit of the doubt as to race.

Rent Sky High InNewYorkAs Tenants Fight NEW YORK, Oct. 25—New York's famous "black belt" in Harlem is rapidly expanding southward, and landlords are supplanting white tenants with colored at doubled rents, protesting white New Yorkers testified last week before the state commission on housing and regional planning, in support of statements that 705,612 persons were without adequate places of abode. "How can the Negroes pay twice as much as the whites?" asked a member of the commission. The answer came from Joseph D. Flynn, representative of the West Harlem Tenants' Association, who said, landlords of white apartments soared their tenants to move by falling to keep their premises, raising rents to limit permitted by the emergency laws, by offering $100 bonuses to tenants if they move, and, as a last resort, by installing colored house agents. Soon the apartments are filled with Colored citizens paying twice the previous rental, Flynn continued. They herd in roomers, as many as fifteen in an apartment, he said, who sleep on double or triple shifts, paying the apartment landlord enough so he can afford to pay the house landlord the exorbitant rentals demanded.

AGENTS THAT WORK WITHWHERE Write for Fortipliers THE PITTSBURGH COURIER HAMMOND, La., Oct. 25. —(By A. N. P.)—White citizens of this place recently compelled the sheriff to turn over a Negro named Charles Cyprian to a committee, who administered a severe whipping and ordered him out of town. The "committee" had addressed a letter to the sheriff, stating that this punishment would have "an effect on others of the black race who entertain ideas of mixing with the white people." Mexican Anti- Racial Ban On At U. S. Border NEW YORK, October 25—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People again has received word of anti-Negro discrimination in the Mexican officials at Piedras Negras, just across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, and has reported the facts to Charles E. Hughes, U. S. Secretary of State in Washington. The letter to Secretary Hughes, is as follows: "Referring to your letter of September 29 containing a report forwarded by the American Embassy in Mexico City, to the effect that there is no discrimination by the Mexican Government against immigrants of the Negro race: "I beg to advise that additional reports have come to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the Mexican Government is still preventing the entrance of United States citizens at Piedras Negras and that we are informed discrimination is being practiced, against, persons of color. "Furthermore, we are 'informed that the American counsel at Eagle Pass, Texas, has failed to properly assist the persons discriminated against. "The complainant is William Vann who asserts that in 1909 he carried a colony of 65 families into the Republic of Mexico and settled them on/a grant of 27,114 acres of land in the State of Durango, Mexico, leased to his company. The Durango Land Company, for 99 years from July 12, 1909. In 1913, the colony left their homes in Mexico and returned to the United States upon the order of the President of the United that all American citizens were to leave Mexico. They listed their party with the American consul at that time. "Mr. Vann asserts that he has been in Eagle Pass, Texas, since September 1, of this year and has not been permitted to enter the Republic of Mexico to look after his property." "We have a further letter from Mrs. J. A. Williams of Eagle Pass, Texas, asserting that white American citizens are permitted to enter the Republic of Mexico at Piedras Negras but that this privilege is refused to colored citizens of the United States. Mrs. Williams further states: 'Mt. Louis Whitehead has been as far in as 65 miles from the border without a passport or anyone to vouch for him or any questions asked but he looks like a white man.' "May we have your advice in this matter?" US BARCLAY, who says "You can tell the world that Neutrone Prescription '09' freed me of rheumatism". 2 The rapid recovery of Gus Barclay of 89 Clinton St. Kingston, N. Y., has again called attention to the remarkable curative effects of Neutrone Prescription I have given here is his story: "For years I have been all crippled up with rheumatism in my arms and legs. My feet would swell so that I could not even get my shoes on. My knees became so stiff that I could only them, they every time took was agony. I could barely hobble around. "No one knows what I suffered until I tried Neutrone Prescription '89. After the first week I felt better. What a relief. It seemed good to do. I have gone; no more swellings, and my joints are all limbered up again. "I feel myself, a lucky man to be so well again after all these years.

A GOLDEN Opportunity to Get In On a Bona-Fide $3,000,000 Proposition On An Investment of Only $50,000.00 IS THE MAMMOTH STUPENDOUS OFFER OF THE Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims Rich From Grass Roots Down—Producing Free Milling Gold, Silver and Copper Ore Here Is the Co-Owner Plan:— "Tis a long lane that has no turning," is the statement of G. W. Miller, grizzled western financial magnate and mining expert, and president of the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims, who, with his vast wealth is standing behind this company—child of his own brain—and said by him to be the practical solution to the race's pressing economic, social and political problems. Mr. Miller, a true son of the west, that fabled country which we have often read about but few of us have ever seen, has spent 23 years in the vast solitude of that unexplored region, analyzing the country, has come out of that country, as powerful, picturesque figure, typical of the majestic solidarity of the mountains which have for so long been his companions, and brings to you a wealth of facts, supported by affidavits of western bankers and business men of integrity. PIMA COUNTY MINING RESOURCES OVERLOOKED-DEAN BUTLER SAYS If Fourteen Districts of This County Were Located in Virgin Field, There Would Be "Rush," Engineer Tells Kiwanians The Road to Success Is Via Safe, Sane, Sound Investment Here are the salient and vital points: 1. The Property The property owned by the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims comprises 700 acres of land in Pima County, Arizona, 60 miles west of the city of Tucson the county seat. This land comprises one of the richest mining and ore districts in the entire country. These ores consist of gold, silver and copper. The ores occur from native metals, all grades, down to the average milling ore. 2. Not a Prospect The property is already being shown up for sale to big eastern companies. Several representatives of these companies have already been on the ground, and have carried favorable reports back to the organizations which they represent. So you can see that the proposition is not a prospect. Over $15,000 has been expended by the coowners of the company in showing up the property and employees are working day and night to complete the work begun within the next six months. 3. Nation's Storehouse of Gold This 700-acre plot consists of 35 mines. Over 800 feet of work has been done in sinking shafts and driving in tunnels. Great gold-bearing ore veins have been shown up. The $50,000 still needed is for the purpose of completing the tunnels, and showing up to the satisfaction of the corporations interested in the proposition, the coarse gold zone and the zone of secondary enrichment for silver. These zones are known. We also have found out, through experimentation, that the great quartz porphyydikes that make vertical outcrops of Recognized Mining Expert In The Tucson Citizen The fourteen mining districts in the country of Pima and their possibilities of supplying enormous amounts of wealth to the people of the country, were explained to the Kiwanians at their regular luncheon at the Santa Rita dining hall.

Untold wealth still lies in these mines, which were started early in the history of the United States. Many of the mines were started long before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and they rank as some of the oldest in the United States. Considerable early work was done by Americans, starting in 1856, but the Civil war interfered with their development due to the withdrawal of United States troops that had protected the miners and pros- ing of operations: Untold pectorus against the Indian wealth still lives in these mines, menace. d to Success Is Via S USE COUPON Cation to subscribe for.....

There are several millions of tons of this rock in sight. 4. Possibilities of Profit If this property is sold for $3,000,000, the price asked for, every co-owner will receive around $40 for every one dollar invested! This selling price is already in sight, and G. W. Miller, president of the company, is authority for the statement that when the showing-up process is completed, the property will sell for five times what he could get for it at present. This is why he is putting his co-owner proposition before the public, in order that they can line up with what he says "is the greatest mining financial plan ever offered to any people." 5. The Co-Owner Plan The co-owner plan is a novel one, original and the idea has its origin from G. W. Miller himself. The entire amount of stock for sale is limited to $65,000. Of this amount $15,000 has already been subscribed for and the balance is going fast. (a) Co-owner interests sell from $5.00 up. (b) Your money will not be tied up longer than six months. (c) At the end of this time the property will have been sold and you will reap a return of around $40 for every dollar invested. The company has not only the support, but the financial backing of some of the recognized leaders of the race. All who have heard the co-owner proposition; have been convinced of its worth, of the integrity of its president, and the wonderful business opportunity it represents. Dean G.-M. Butler, who is recognized as a national expert on mining, stated that if was more than likely that many of these mines now closed could be worked with profit now. "I am surprised," he stated, "that more interest is not taken in these mines and prospects. If the same prospects were located in Virgin territory, there would be a big rush, and yet these big prospects are being neglected."

Wylie PIT'T Avenue By ABOUT three o'clock in the morning, in the alley-way next to the Star Theatre, between Townsend and Fullerton Streets, two city Policemen heat insensible, ONE Negro, and then arrested him. We are reliably informed that the unfortunate victim could not appear for a hearing the next morning. ALMOST any time after twelve o'clock noon until one in the morning one can hear the last word in vulgar dissertations by two familiar female characters, in this same block and on either side of the street. And they are seldom arrested. THE treatment of these two characters brings to mind the query as to the cause of some wrong impressions formed by people of Wylie avenue, who, in a sense, have never seen this interesting thoroughfare in its glory or in its sins. The police say that they must resort to clubs and guns in making arrests because most of the offenders against the law are southerners. And that southerners are bad people. The writer remembers Wylie avenue of 25 years ago. The populous apartment or permanent, then was made up of apartments from the south, railroad section behind bouts and deckhands of the many boats plying the Ohio—and a few westerners. These men were used to rough treatment, he had lived under condition where the quickest man to the trigger was the longest liver. They came to Pittsburgh, lived here and in the evenings played a great deal of the time in the section still known as the hill district. They worked, drank freely and gambled when they felt like it, as most of us do now. Sometimes they fought and fought to kill. They were dangers when provoked or imposed upon. There were not as many families as now, but the nightly traffic up and down the avenue was just as great or greater than now. And one lone policeman patrolled the heat on each shift and kept order and made friends. He made friends in such a way that these dangerous characters reacted with hostility on the streets. They could not tolerate our girls and matrons being approached by strangers and insulted—and yet they were a dangerous lot, and from the south. The police department has analyzed the Negro wrongly when they apply that "white horse leading mules" theory to Negroes on masse. And the sooner we insist upon having it changed, the better off, we will be—not the white man. It is almost ridiculous to believe that it is necessary for two armed policemen to resort to clubs and blackjacks to arrest one normal individual with nothing exposed, but the weapons which Nature gave him, whether he be a newcomer or a citizen. We could overlook this bad and brutal judgment if it happened only now and then—but it's almost a nightly act and getting worse, and no one knows what it will lead up to. trained to extreme action or no action at all. For there are any number of punishable offenses committed right under the noses of these same officers by members of other races. The fruit stand at the corner of Fullerton and Wylie occupies all but three on our feet on the wall, the elevator door is closed and the police will tell you to "keep moving" when you approach the corner. The Jewish merchantman strings his goods out on the side. THE HALLOW Include in the plans for your WR Three nicely mounted 5x7 photog For appointment By John L.

A group of people may loiter in front of John Crampon's Drug Store window, but try it in front of Sam Prelutsky's Store. Spitting on the sidewalks, vulgarity and profanity are winked at — and apparently they believe that we like this sort of program for they sometimes take part. This negligence and indifference on the part of the police are blamed on the newcomer—the southerner. But we beg to differ as we have seen the uncount, the untrained, the give-a-dam southern under the same condition, with an entirely different effect. The solution is not to rid the hill of southerners, for they make good neighbors, good workmen, good businessmen, good consumers and when they have adapted themselves to this new condition, good citizens, willing to co-operate in any undertaking that will benefit the race or nation. It's in the policeman; he who is supposed to safeguard the interests of all citizens. His mental mechanism isn't right. A new design or one of the old ones rebuilt. A Negro police man will serve best, but if it's possible to mould one from the pattern of Andrew Tecry, Tallman Hughes, John Reed, Old Man Allen or the venerable old gentleman who directed traffic at Sixth and Wylie — why it won't make any difference whether he be black or white. : JIM FRATERALAL and Jim 400 are having some kind of a wrangle up at Mrs. Gray's Bath House for Colored people. It SEEMS that Jim 400 is superintendent of the bath house and physical director at the "Y"—two authorized jobs. Jim Frateral is an employee of the bath house under Jim 400, and has engaged in another undertaking which will not him more per month than Jim 400 can make out of his two authorized jobs. Both Jims are borrowing a little time, from the bath house, but both are borrowing at the same time and Jim 400 says that the bath house cannot afford to let out so much time at the current rate of interest and accordingly laid down some money, but like Emperor Jin, they didn't apply to him. Jim Frateral objected to this and Jim 400 called in Mrs. Gray as arpiter and made it a point to be there himself, while Jim Frateral was at his other undertaking. Now, as everybody knows, Jim Frateral and Mrs. Gray are very good friends (for did she not have him moved from recreation work to make him superintendent of a bath house equipped with automatic heaters) and we feel sorry for Jim Frateral and compliment Jim 400 in applying this strategy. From a co-operative standpoint it is the biggest bone of the year.

President John Hope, of Morehouse College, spoke on "What are the minimum social standards for a normal life?" His emphasis was upon the obvious inadequacies of Negro life, particularly in the South. He asked with a consciousness of repetition for security in work, social relations and leisure; education, and the one weapon of democracy; the ballot. "I have become a part of all that I have seen and heard done and had done to me," he said. "Before a normal life can be obtained for Negroes it will be necessary to work on the American mind to resolve the presumption which are brought to consideration of a question involving the Negro: The presumption of difference, and its subsequent temptations to a feeling of inequality and to injustice.

The 16,000 Negroes at work in the 23 steel plants of the Pittsburgh district represent 21 per cent of the total working force required." Prior to 1919 no Negroes were employed in 19 of these 23 mills," Mr. Clark said. Gradually Negro workers are advancing to higher positions.

Now the Bidoklyn Royals have novhome park. ‘They pay out no gate receipts or guarantees to the other member clubs in the league. Strong, however, collects many 2 shekel in gate receipts from the other clubs. So there is the rub. For Strong it is all coming in and nothing going out, ag far as the league is concerned. é ? But Mr. Spedion, of Baltimore, says it shall not-be ever thus, It i- reported that he tnsists that Strong use his Bushwick park ss “home” for the Royals.

But now it is announced that everything is “jake” for the above date, fe eee Interest in colored baseball in Baltimore this: year almost touched zero. Of course, there could be no effect without a cause and in this case, there were several causes. One was the poor showing of the team in the: Eastern league pennant race.

One “Sub- way” Smith, white, is business manager, bench manager, etc, ad nau- Feum. Different players—Miller, Mahoney, Wilson, Clark, Rojo—were at different times “honored” with the title of manager, but it did not mean anything. All power was vested in Mr. Smith. The players knew this and acted accordingly. Then, also, other things worked to -keep people away from the park. it is alleged, things which any Baltimore person can tell you about it if you are curious. Nine to eleven hundred dollars used to be the Sunday “gate” for vis- iting teams.

Margaret McAvoy, the 28 year old white girl arrested in a raid at the residence of Mrs. Sadie Holmes, 2308 Bedford Avenue, last Saturday, is puzzling authorities by her conflicting stories as to identify and reasons for being in the Holmes abode. It is said that the girl is the paramour of one Gray Evens, Colored, an alleged dope peddler. It is said the girl admitted her fondness for Evans; she says she met him at a Music Hall in Montreal and fell in love with him, it is said. She was in the county jail awaiting the action of the Department of Justice in an effort to verify reps. that activities of an international white slave ring had penetrated Pittsburgh and were responsible for the girl's presence here, but was due to lack of evidence was sent back by deportation authorities. When arrested, she was apparently "at home" with Mrs. Holmes, Colored, and her "guests". Two other white girls were taken in the raid it is said. According to the girl's story she was sent from Liverpool, England in 1915, to Quebec, Canada at the age of 15, by air immigration extension society. She stayed under the care of the society until she was aged 18 and then secured a position as a maid. She changed her position frequently and was finally led astray, she said in the home of an employer where she had her first taste of liquor. From that time on, the girl asserted she saw much of the night life in Quebec and finally went to Montreal, where she became a follower of horse racing. Things went from bad to worse and she decided to leave Montreal and came to this city about six weeks ago. Department of Justice agents said that the girl denied having been brought to this city by anyone. According to the agents, she said she decided to come to Pittsburgh because she heard there was plenty of work here, and obtained the Beilford avenue, address from a "friend" in Montreal.

"We're sorry we're glad. We wish we were big enough to be dissolved in tears at the present plight of the Associated White Lynchers and Murderers of America. But we're not; we're just plain tickled at this blood-snaked land." For once Doc Burghardt laughs and the race laughs with him! MRS. LUCILLE E. GREENE RANDOLPH, wife of Philip Randolph, co-editor of The Messenger, is running for Alderman on the Socialist ticket in New York. She is scheduled to speak from the same platform with Eugene V. Debs on Oct. 30th. It is something new. It is not new for her to be active in politics; but it is new for a colored woman to be so highly rated with any party. The late and lamented Madam Pauline Dempsey was president of the Roosevelt Women's Republican Club. She was a pioneer and it is good others are following in her footsteps. But she is already outdistanced. We are not in sympathy with Mrs. Randolph's political faith, but we hope she will make a good showing. We especially hope she will show well when she speaks alongside Debs. Of this we feel assured, for we understand she is a Howard University graduate. The Socialist party has no special love for Negroes. Like other "outs" they are trying to get "in" and want all the help they can get. But if times ever go well with them they will be like all the other "outs"—forgetful of those who helped them when they were "out." MR. MARCUS GARVEY. the famous "Provisional President for Africa" travels across the North American continent from New York and observes that. As I journey West through the great United States of America there rises before me the vision of a new world in the accomplishment of a new people. "To glance back to the depth from which America has climbed to a place none among the nations of the world is to feel inspired with confidence and hope that out of what is called our dream will rise in the future a great African commonwealth upon which future generations will look with as much pride and satisfaction as the white American citizen of today does of * Quite true. But there is a long civilized history behind the white man before he conquered and built up America. He built up another country first, thereby acquiring the art of nation-building. We are thinking there will be a black man behind the Negro before he builds up Africa. He too must acquire the art of nation building; he is now in the best school in the world for that purpose — America. To be exact about it, there are more Negroes now in Africa than there are whites and Negroes in America, establishing a nation and reclaiming the Motherland is so why don't they go ahead and do it? The trouble is they haven't the intelligence and money. Nor have the Negroes in America the intelligence and money. What is needed is go to work here and get some training and quit whining. We will be a third a-plenty to touch out. Perhaps if we ever show self-governing capacity we'll get what we want for the asking. (We got Liberia for the asking.) We don't mind an ideal to look forward to, but we get tired of nonsense. Let the U.N. I. A. stick to its constructive phases and it will do better. THE New York Society for the Suppression of Vice was recently commented for not having discovered but four "immoral" plays in Broadway theaters during the past year. The final credit for it came when the responsible rests. If the public wants sensualism and salaciousness the playwrights and producers must meet the demand. But the theatreregisters themselves set their own standards and those standards are uniformly high. Negro plays and players are improving, too. Three years ago hardy a musical comedy was presented that some parts of the dancing were not carried to the extreme. At present these incidents are reduced to the minimum. Still there room for improvement, the captivity quickly arouses the primitive in us. This is the premiere music. Better taste must be cultivated. That takes time. Our producers are gradually working up to a new and better order by sandwiching clean, pure renditions, and they should be encouraged. THE eighteenth amendment has been ratified ment has been betrayed in the house of its friends. It is suspect accorded to it, it has failed, and the reason is that no sincerely, intelligent and concerted nation-wide effort has ever been made to enforce it. The measure in the east, which great institution of liquor are being smuggled into this country; in the huge amounts of bogus whisky manufactured, and in the continuing sake of high-power beer. It is idle of high-power beer. It is idle of high-power beer. It cannot be enforced. That the government of the United States, the most powerful nation on earth, with the people overwhelming behind it, is deserved before a few thousand and thousand assorted lawbreakers, simply inthinkable. The fact is we have never really tried." This is the declaration of Gov. Gifford Pinchot before a civic delegation at Washington. He says further: The brewers, bootleggers and saloonkeepers have thrown down the gauntlet. They defy our constitution and laws as did their ancestors, the outlaws of the Whiskey Rebellion. Washinton, in that emergence, took person of the law that the law was respected and was prepared to use all the powers of the government, if necessary, to make it so. His example is a sound one to the in whiskey rebellion of today. "Things done by halves are never done right." If they will move the powers that he to enforce the 18th Amendment, they might as well face the 14th and 15th. Fact is, the outlawing disregard for law is the outlawing of wishing at and flouting the Constitution on other occasions. M R. T. THOMAS FORTUNE, veteran editor and publicist and founder of Negro journalism, now edits Mr. Garvey's NEGRO WORLD. For forty years Mr. Fortune has been a fighter. He joined "Afro-American" as a designation for the American Civil War, just how he and Mr. Garvey will put together remains to be seen, since Mr. Garvey insists on the word "Negro" pure and simple. --- The NEGRO WORLD is now a powerful organ of propaganda, "elevated solely to the interests of the Negro race." It has prepares done consciousness than any other official paper. It also comes near being an international organ of darker peoples than any other publication. There have been brilliant and resourceful men at its helm—W. A. Domingo, H. H. Harrison, W. H. Ferris or A. A. Stephenson. The two of these were the Indians and one an American. The present editor is from Florida. Only one could be said to be pure black man. The present incumbent is not. Thus it seems the various assertions that Mr. Garvey is prejudiced against the American-born African, the literal "black man" untrue, for actions speak louder than words. But perhaps Mr. Garvey does not understand himself on this point. THE political situation is intermixed and acute. President Coolidge tries hard to maintain his silence, but he is gradually being smoked out. Gov. Pinchot has placed the "whisky rebellion" squarely up to his hands, farmers are clamoring for relief, the band-wagon is on rough ground. ground. Ford is worping O. O. P. and Democratic wiseaces. McAdoo seems to be the favorite Democratic son. Ford is dear to colored men because he employs 5,000 in his Defense Department, the diplomatic aide Mr. McAdoo, from Georgia, is said to be dear to them because he instituted the rule of all men drawing equal pay for the same work when he was director-general of the railroads. Coolidge sees every colored delegation that goes to Washington. McAdoo is the Billy E. Clark call single-handed on him at the White House and get a respectful hearing. Sleep undoubtedly has experienced a change of heart because of his exalted position, or else he has something up his sleeve. One thing is certain: Coolidge will spill his blood if he hasn't made any bad breaks yet and if he doesn't—a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush—so far as Negroes are concerned. "MOTHER LOVE! Inspires Pretty New York Society Matron to Battle Through Courts for Honor!" Headline. Sounds O. K. But is it O. K. Doubtful. The principals in the triangle are fairly successful Negroes and not only are they damaging themselves to the faith of the men in its successful men and women. There is hardly a prominent Negro in the public eye, today about whom some kind of "touchy" tale can't be dug up. This is one reason why real leaders are so few in numbers. They too quickly ruin themselves. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER ON WITH THE DANCE Northeast Stadium Chgo "On with the dance!"

Picked Up From Papers All Over the Country WANT TO BE FAT, OR THIN? All You Need Is to Put Speedometer on your Digester. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 25— Here is hope for those who are too fat and those who are too thin. Weight can be regulated by eating "fast" or "slow" food. Dr. Joel E. Goldhwait, nationally known orthopedist of Boston, told members of the Southwestern Clinical Conference. The weight of persons. Dr. Goldhwait said, has been found to depend on the length of their intestines rather than on how much they eat. He explained "fast" food is digested quickly and "slow" food digests slowly. Dr. Goldhwait said fat people are fat because they have long intestines and therefore much more opportunity to absorb food. "Any competent dietician can prescribe a menu of foods and a made of living that will put weight on the healthy person, he continued. A dietician can lay down a routine of living and eating that will reduce flesh. Three Children Die in Fire LANESVILLE.

Timing Of Bananas A Science Fruit Must Be Cut and Shipped so that It Ripens After Arrival It is seriously known that bananas are shipped while yet green and unripe, but few people are aware of the careful and elaborate time calculation required for retailing plants and cutting off the fruit in order to insure the arrival of the bananas in proper conditions at their destination. When a plantation is begun the young plants are set out at certain periods so that they will produce at regular pre-fixed number during years, a certain number days before the arrival of a steamer the green fruit is cut and a close calculation of the time that will be consumed in the voyage must always be made, else the bananas will be spoiled. Fruit steamers carry steam-heating apparatus to insure a uniform temperature in the storage, the ripening is calculated once every day after the fruit has reached the retail dealer.

Shoes Have 'Trouser Crease' New Fad in Women's Sport Footwear Becomes the 'Rage' A new fad in footwear which might be called the "trouser crease" shoe for girls and women has come into popularity and is being purchased in good numbers from retail stores in the present time, according to retailers. This new shoe is said to have been inspired by the custom adopted the past summer by girls wearing knickers and woolen stockings at beach resorts and girls camps. The "trousers crease" shoe is of the sport type and appeals the most to women and the woman who have a liking for sports. This shoe is an oxford with the Ducher cut and the creased vamp. It is being sold mostly in gummetal, patents and tans in the plain toe and the low heel effect. It is a type of shoe worn by those women who like to play golf and hike and who wish shoes which will be comfortable. Retailers say that the "trouser crease" shoe is increasing in demand and that its popularity is widening at a rapid rate.

The old fad for collecting postage stamps not only is not on the wane, but is growing stronger than ever. More than two hundred and fifty of the popularity of collecting, when they are quick and lively at an auction in which several hundred stamps and groups were put up. In all more than $6,100 was paid over as a result of the bidding. The highest price paid was $500 for a 4-cent blue stamp issued by British Guiana in 1866, and which was considered a rare specimen. The fact that a price was the fact that a price was for a stamp not in best condition was regarded as indicative of the interest collectors still retain. This stamp in prime condition is listed at a catalog price of $1,000. IS ARRESTED ON SUSPICION Mercury Plays a Vexing Trick on a Thirsty Britisher A British youth named Leonard Whiteway was fired by enthusiasm for meteorological investigations. So he went about, with a thermometer in his pocket. In the course of a hot summer afternoon the heat proved too much for the thermometer. It burst, and the mercury came out into his pocket. When young Whiteway paid for drink he tendered a diorin, and so suspicious was the appearance of the coin that the lipper vender called a policeman. On being searched the other silver coins in his possession appeared to be similarly spurious, and the young man was detained on the charge of "uttering" counterfeit coinage. Unless with the Mint authorities promote the piece of money as perfectly genuine that Whiteway was realeased from custody. The mercury had acted on the silver. 25,000 GET A FREE DINNER 2,000 Fried Chickens and 5,000. Pies Are. Consumed NOBLESVILLE, IN.

Oct. 25—Greg Peters, the master an office boy in the office of the late Ian Ralph Peters, will succeed Mr. Peters as president of the Long Island Railroad, it became known today. THE Indians were enslaved successively by the Spanish, French, English and Portuguese. There were Indiai slaves from Canada to Florida. The decline of Indian slavery was due chiefly to its being an economic failure. The Indian could not stand the hardships, nor the whiskey and other diseases of the white man. Large numbers of them died from smallpox, consumption and syphilis. The Negro was introduced, supplanting both the Indian, and the white, a sa slave. A white slave was far more valuable than an Indian one, and a Negro more than either. A Negro was reckoned as the equivalent of five or six Indians, and sometimes brought a price nine times as high. You can find some interesting reading on this in "Studies in History, Economics and Public Law" (Columbia University, Vol. 54). "There were Indian slaves in the remainder of the New World, but here also they died in contact with the whites. Take the island of Jamaica. Two hundred and fifty years after its discovery its aborigines, the Arawhaks, had disappeared to a man, the Negro slave. No more slave and subjected to much harder treatment, is today virtual master of the island. I have seen a great deal of Indian life, principally in Montana, Nevada, Arizona and the Canadian Northwest, and I think it very much below the Negro standard." The Senator again brought up the subject of Negro mentality and then referred him to the following quotation from Prof. Myers, lecturer on experimental psychology at the University of Cambridge, England, in his address to the Universal Race Congress: "The majority of the peasant class throughout Europe are essentially the same as those of primitive communities." At this point another passenger, on his way from the observation car, entered the room. Handing a telegram to Dixon, he asked him to send it at the next stop. When the passenger was gone the Senator again brought up the subject, and Dixon read him the following from Finney: "it is fruitless to maintain the theory of the mental inferiority of Negroes. Twenty years of intellectual work has often proved sufficient for a Maori, Zulu, Redskin or Negro to win back in his individual self the centuries of mental arrest or mental torture of the Negro. This property, common to all human beings, provides them at once with a trait of ineffaceable equality. The psychology of primitive peoples, and, especially of Negroes, strangely resembles that of the white peoples of the New World. Their prepossessions, ideas and perceptions betray a similarity which draws them singularly together. The inhabitants of Negro villages in Central Africa are like the pennants in the eastern part of North Russia, or the extreme south of Italy." Dixon lowered the book and salit "One of the greatest argument's advanced in support of Negro inferiority—an argument that not a few Negroes will admit—is that the Negro has been a slave. I am convinced, however, that if the slave traders had captured some primitive Euro-American slaves, the same dehumanizing treatment the result would have been the same. The great amount of ignorance in Russia today is undoubtedly due to the fact that the Russians were slaves for centuries. In Richard Hildroth's "Memoirs of Archie, a White Slave" (a record of slavery in America), a prominent slave dealer says (here Dixon consulted his notebook): "Just catch a stray Irish or German girl and sell her—a thing sometimes done—and she turns a "nigger" at once, and makes just as good a slave as if there were African slaves. I think the sociology the stronger grows my belief that the difference between one human variety and another is solely the result of environment." "But," objected the Senator, "even in the black man's home the white man is master. Look how easy it is for small numbers of white men to rule millions of people or all the people of Anglo-Saxon holding a handful of Anglo-Saxon holding subjection nearly four hundred millions of natives. Then, too, take the New World. What was it before the white man came here? Imagine what it would be now if he had not come here! Look at China, the oldest civilization in the world! It stood for thousands and thousands of unilluminated the white man to Japan owes its progress to the white race. My race has conquered or overrun every country on the globe. My race rules Europe, the whole of Africa, except one or two inconsequential spots; the far greater part of Asia, the entire New World and all Australia; in short, it was the world of a richer, healthier, better place to live in is due entirely to the magic touch of the white race." "The Caucasian branch," concurred Dixon, "is, of course, the most advanced, generally speaking. It is the pioneer group today in nearly all lines, and will no doubt continue to be so for some time. I readyll admit that world progress for the last six centuries, at least, is due almost wholly to this initiative. But this greatest achievement by the climate and certain other conditions that have retarded the growth of most of these other peoples. The white man going to those countries, with his superior weapons for taking life; his more highly developed intellect and keener predatory instincts has a decided advantage over the natives. But he must be reinstored from time to time by fresh numbers, or he, too, is likely to yield to the spell of the environment. This is one of the principal reasons for the frequent shifting of officials by the British Foreign Office. It has been white men in the tropics sink into the objects of disgust to the lower native. Blackburn, speaking of this, says: "In Africa the animal tie, a indulgent white man, approximates yet nearer animalism the individual active animal; the sum of conservation and humiliation with diverse opinion and jumble wits, becomes an intellectual fungoid." "The white immigrant in the trails becomes less energetic, while the black one in the northern habitats improves in energy and acquisitiveness. The Negro, say, in New York such a superior, the average white in the trains, and most of our Southern States." "But Negroes have been living in northern states for three hundred years at least in the past, the historian, "and yet from among them has not emerged one single genius; indeed, not even one famous man. Many Negroes have acquired a pseudofame because of pampering by white admirers and gross exaggeration of their strength; they have been white men they would have passed unnoticed in the crowd." "It is true," acknowledged Dixon, "that the Negro has been living in these northern latitudes for a long time, but under what debailed candidate. Would whites have done better, than blacks, a large number of whites in Europe and America who, to use a Poossevellian phrase, "can hardly pull their own weight." It is quite true, as you said, that the medicine attainments of certain Negroes have been exaggerated because of their color, but these men must have valuable that, since these men must have the ability, they would have done better but for the handicap of color? Thus, as you see, one balances the other. Since mediocrity is a human characteristic and is to be found among peoples having the widest and fullest opportunities for advancement, in a people who have been apparently in a people who have been universally and uniformly oppressed and repressed below the level of the lowest grade of self-respect?" "Yet there are many Negroes who have achieved national and international distinction, regardless of color. It is generally conceded that the most remarkable figure that the South has produced since Lincoln is Benjamin Franklin. It may be argued he and Frederick Douglass are the two most remarkable figures the United States has produced. Both not only came from a lower depth than Lincoln, the most remarkable white man, but even when they achieved fame they were always the lowest whites. Booker T. Washington was one of the greatest men of all time. The pages of Plutarch contain no more inspiring figure than Douglass. "There are also many Negro authors of unqualified merit, as DuBois, Blydon, Casey, Hayford, DuBois, Kelly Miller, Bathewaite and James Welton Johnson. DuBois befriend James Welton and English letters. There are few if any English writers who excel him in eloquence and elegance of diction: Kelly Miller is an essayist of distinction and Bathewaite has the reputation of being the foremost eritfe of poetry in the American. I could name Benjamin Brawley, William Ferris, Hubert Harrison, Claude McKay and William Pickens, who all measure up to national standards. If white America, with thousands of years of culture behind it and freer opportunity, has not been the men of international standards, perhaps not more than half a dozen, how can you expect the recognized manifestations of genius from a people with the clank of the slave's chain sit sounding in their ears? It is comparatively small number, men of Negro descent, Poushkin and Dumas, have leaved the all others in their respective spheres." The wind was whistling through the ventilators, blowing in small flakes of snow, Dixon arose and closed the transom. "But the ability of these men is due to their white blood," objected the Senator, when Dixon had returned. "The pure-blooded Negro is absolutely incapable of reasoning. He learns like a parrot."

It is evident therefore, that the high criminal tendency with which the Afro-American is charged is not necessarily due to inherent racial inferiority nor to a peculiar native and brutal degeneracy, but more to the National Crime which has deprived him of the benefits of the State and Federal civilizing agencies operating for the building of good citizenship. We cite the nefarious school system of many states of the South which by no means is an isolated phenomenon of this crime of discrimination. Reliable statistics compiled by white statisticians prove that many Southern whites whence many of their new neighbors have provided only $129 per capita for Afro-American education over against $13.06 per capita for Anglo-Saxon education. It is impossible for any group thus discriminated against to be otherwise than awkward and derelict in response to the high and exacting requirements of American social and civic life. The situation presents a challenge to men who believe in justice and fair play as to whether a governmental process which brings an ignorant, and neglected Afro-American criminal under the toils and penalties of the law has adequately operated to lift him above the law. Indeed, this un-American process of governmental discrimination and unfairness to the Afro-American group, sad to say, but truly impedes the government to deal with crime among colored delinquents with the same measure meted out to similar delinquents among the white group. For "unto whom much is given, much is required," and the obverse is true. We condemn without reservation the enormous crimes alleged to have been committed recently by Afro-American criminals in this community and in other communities and we hereby put ourselves on record, in favor of bringing every criminal to justice, but with the same emphasis we must appeal for an enlightened public opinion as to the fundamental causes producing much of the moral delinquency in the Afro-American population. Public opinion takes complex and form from the propaganda circulated by the mouth pieces in a community. Newspapers are the most potent agencies in this capacity. It is unfortunate that public opinion is often misdirected, inflamed and unduly aroused by an exaggerated report of an amateur news reporter which investigation proves to have been the case in the Stowe Township episode. Public opinion would sustain a different, a more wholesome and friendly attitude toward Afro-American citizens. If our news coverage have half as much space and prominence publishing news pertaining to the progress and achievements of our group as is given to the blunders and crimes of our unfortunates. Public opinion should shake itself from the trouble-making and un-American propaganda that, "This is a white man's country." It engenders anarchy, race-hate and unending strife. The founders of this nation, resenting the same form of tyranny and despotism that afflicts the Afro-American people founded this government and dedicated it to the ideals of liberty, equality and brotherhood with special privileges to none. Such a malediction is not only subversive of these immortal principles, but would nullify the guarantees set forth in the 13th and 14th amendments to the United States constitution. Public opinion is often actuated against Afro-American people by organized groups of other races who under disguise and with malevolent intentions commit crimes and charge them to black men to incite efforts to declare all blacks in that community as undesirable citizens. The habit of branding all colored people with the responsibility of crime committed by one member of their group is a relic of Indian savagery practiced in the early beginning of this nation. When an Afro-American commits a murder or an outrage, he serves no notice upon the other members of his race and it is unreasonable that they should be held accountable for his crime as appears to have been the case in the Stowe Township situation. The colored population there pays taxes to help support a town appointed to work on taxable property that community, and we venture the assertion that law-abiding Afro-American people of Stowe Township would have cheerfully joined the effort to hunt down the criminal who committed the crime which is alleged to have incited the trouble if the authorities there had deputized them to do so. We further observe that *practice* is becoming too common for the welfare of all, for groups of citizens to organize themselves into bodies or mobs to step over the heads of lawfully conducted criminals, or could result in injury by endeavoring to substitute their own will for the law of the land. It is our opinion that much of the indiscriminate carrying of deadly weapons by the unfortunate element of our group has been largely induced by recent wreckless shooting of colored men in the back while the victim is fleeing or is ordered to flee. The impression is rapidly spreading among Afro-American people in Pittsburgh that many white policemen esteem too lowly the value of the life of a man whose skin is black and many go prepared to shoot and to kill first. Appointment of a high type of colored men on the police department and especially to patrol the colored communities would remedy much of this trouble. We contend that the failure of the enforcement of the 18th amendment to the United States constitution contributes in a manifold way to the cause of crime among the weak and irresponsible element of the Afro-American population. It is not the crime producing effect of the drug that alone deserves consideration in this particular, but the spirit of disregard for all law inculcated from the disregard for this one law is lending men to take the law of our ored men are not alone in this particular. These declarations representing in principle the wisest and best of both races, we submit to an interested public and hereby make appeal for an interracial conference whose duties it shall be to study the mal-adjustments referred to above with a view of directing a course of peace, progress and good will to all concerned. O. S. Hershman, of The Pittsburgh Press, says that "The citizen who stands for honesty, progressiveness and fairness towards all elements that go to make up this great ma- tion, regardless of their racial connection or religious beliefs, is, a citizen who has a wise conception of true Americanism." Walter Hurt says: "Let's stop being knockers of our tribal neighbors and become boosters of the human race." NAMES RACE MAN ON BOXING COMMISSION (Continued From Page 1.) time, Mr. Pinchot preceding White by 10 years. White, who is 47 years old, is not identified with any organized sporting activities in this city, nor a member of any athletic clubs. He said, when interviewed, that he is a keen follower of boxing, but admits being far from expert in his knowledge of its intricacies. "The governor," he said, "surprised me several days ago by writing me a letter asking the pleasure of naming me to this position. I accepted, and I am indeed grateful for the recognition of my race." The law creating the State Athletic commission gives that body full jurisdiction over all boxing, sparring and wrestling matches to which an admission fee is charged. Commissioners' salaries are fixed at $5,000 a year, the entire expenses to be paid from funds received under the act's provisions. All corporations or individuals conducting bouts must obtain state licenses and all boxers, wrestlers and attendants also must have licenses. No licenses are to be issued, however, where any municipality or township has adopted an ordinance prohibiting boxing, sparring or wrestling. Corporations or persons seeking licenses who conduct bouts in Philadelphia must pay a fee of $250; in Scranton and Pittsburgh, $100, and in third-class cities and elsewhere, $25. Fees for participants and attendants are fixed as follows: Referees, $25; judges, $5; timekeepers, $5; professional boxers and wrestlers, $5; managers, $25; physicians, $10; trainers and seconds, $5. In addition five per cent of the gross receipts of a match, bout or exhibition, exclusive of the Federal tax, must be paid the State Treasury. There shall be two licensed judges for each bout who will give a decision on the winner. When the two judges cannot agree the referee casts the deciding vote. All bouts, matches and exhibitions are limited to 10 rounds and no person may participate in more than this number of rounds within 24 hours. A licensed referee must attend each event, and is given the power to forfeit any remuneration, when, in his judgment, a contestant or contestants are not honestly competing. Gloves for lightweight fighters shall not weigh less than five ounces and for heavier classes six ounces. The act requires attendance at each event of a physician who must examine participants within three hours before they enter the ring, the results of the examination to be filed within 24 hours, with the commission. No person under 18 years of age may take part in a boxing, sparring or wrestling match, and no person under 16 is to be admitted to the event. PLAN CALLS FOR SELECTION OF RACE LEADERS (Continued From Page d.) dent Harding, who also was favorably impressed with the plan. The latter's death, however, prevented any action in the matter. The plan suggested by the Arkansas committeeman calls for the appointment of a commission of five Southern Negroes who would maintain headquarters at Tuskegee, Ala., the home of the Booker Washington institute. This commission would make a thorough tour of the South, holding conferences and mass meetings in central portions throughout the territory. "It would be their duty," Col. Renmel said, "to hold these meetings with Negroes in the South and explain to them that the South is the best place for them; to teach them diversification of crops and advise them on ways and means of bettering their condition. We would want Southern Negroes on the board as it is a well recognized fact that the Northern Negro does not understand his Southern brother. "President Coolidge expressed himself as heartily in favor of the plan and was only doubtful on the point whether or not he could appoint the commission without special legislative authority. He asked me to go over the plan with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, which I did." GROUP OF LOCAL WOMEN CALL ON A. C. GUMBERT (Continued From Page 1.) Commissioner, is not a Klansman nor connected with the organization The Pittsburgh Courier would say as much in its columns. The committee of ladies agreed that this would do the Commissioner full justice, and he made the bold statement in the presence of the Committee of ladies and the editor of The Pittsburgh Courier that he is not a member of the Ku Klux Klan, has nothing to do with it, and is not responsible for what his cousin may do, or has done. This statement seemed to satisfy the ladies, and they retired with the statement that they could not, and would not, support any man who is a Klansman. The Commissioner agreed that he could not see how they could, and would not except them to do so. The Commissioner took occasion to say that he had introduced the man in question, but that was but a political courtesy. He said he had even introduced a democrat, referring to Mr. Houlahen, one of the present incumbents. It was very evident, though, that Mr. Gumbert does not expect Negroes to turn down Mr. Houlahen for a man who reported to be a member of the Klansman over county will vote for Mr. Houlahen rather than take any chances on having a Klansman put into the office as a minority man. The following ladies composed the committee: Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkins, Mrs. Mary Turner Burwell Mrs. Evelyn Payne and Mrs. Charlotte Brightwell. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER BEDROOM ANNUAL STATE CONVENTION OF BAPTISTS IN SESSION (Continued From Page 1.) on to raise $150,000 for the purpose of building a great plant in which an institute will be held to train workers for the churches and committees, home and foreign fields and to assist the unfortunate ministers when responsibilities hinder their higher development. In this said plant is to be a factory in which overhauls, shirts and working garments in general will be made for men and women thus giving a dignified livelihood to our young womanhood. There is also a plan on foot to have special representatives get in touch with the mills and plants in which Negroes labor so as to assist employee and employer to sustain a better relationship, and develop in our laborers a spirit of citizenship and thereby overcome this present wave of shiftlessness. The summary of the Convention is to make the Church a life-saving station in the community and have its influence pronounced as a factor in bringing the Lord's kingdom into the hearts of men and the government of the Nation. The Annual Address was delivered in a very impressive manner on Wednesday evening by the President. His subject being "FOR-WARD" set to the tone of racial progress. Positive attention was called to the inefficiency in the patient Church program and each case was timely was offered. Home and foreign mission, Education, political and financial conditions were dwelt upon at length by the speaker and a set of recommendations offered as a solution for every problem. Diamond, Convicted Murderer, Gets Stay INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 25—Harry Diamond, convicted of wife murder and sentenced to die this month, was given a reprieve by Governor McGray here last week. Diamond attempted to fasten the blame for the killing of his wife on their colored chauffeur, alleging that the youth had, first attacked his wife, but a sentimental death-belated statement cleared the chauffeur and at the same time convicted the husband.

C., of the Northern jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Masons. His address was the best we have ever heard—very instructive and left much food for thought. "The things he spoke of was the growth of the order; said our membership will be gratified to note the wonderful growth of our jurisdiction. Our numbers have almost doubled in the past five years, and financially our organization is getting on a strong foundation. With the purchase of a site for a cathedral at our Grand East, and the assurance that with an effort on the part of our organization an edifice creditable alike to our jurisdiction and race can be erected thereon, our future growth is assured. With the adoption of a system in keeping of our records, there has been felt the great need of some place where those records can be preserved.

MAR MURRAY'S FAME AS A DANCER IS STILL EVIDENCED. Irvin C. Miller To Start New Show PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 25.—Irvin Miller, late star of the "Liza" company, was in the city Monday. Mr. Miller recently attached the receipts of the company for back royalties due him. His claim is for $4,200. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER ELMORE THEATRE Wednesday, October 31 He told the Courier representative that he had also entered another suit in Baltimore to recover the "book" of "Liza" from the Bon Bon Buddy Co., Inc., defendants. Mr. Miller declared that he would immediately put into rehearsal a new play and that most of the old "Liza" company would have parts in it. He does not expect that his court proceedings will be settled for several weeks. While hitherto the motion picture has confined itself, when really essaying realism, to realistic action, "Times Have Changed." William Russell's most recent William Fox attraction, exhibits the realism of emotional life. Zola, the greatest French realist, loses color before the vigorous realism of "Times Have Changed." And only those endowed with as much imagination as he himself possessed were able to comprehend fully the stark realit, of his work. In the motion picture, however, where life See this wonderful photophy at the Elmore theater Wednesday October 31. True in Spirit and Action For his first venture into the serious drama, Hal Roach made a production that has universal appeal. He selected Jack London's "The Call of the Wild," the author's most popular story written when he was at the peak of his writing power, and cat loose with a punch that registers. "The Call of the Wild" to be featured at the Elmore theater Monday and Tuesday, October 29 and 30, is ELMORE an entertaining picture that will appeal to everyone who likes a whiff of the open with a tang of the North all through the atmosphere, and especially will it gladden the hearts of animal lovers. Fred Jekman, who directed and adapted "The Call of the Wild," has not wandered from the original text, which means that there is a great deal of he-man stuff all through the scenes and very little mush. All the spirit and vigor of the London classic has been retained, and it is a thoroughly interesting and novel production. Mr. Roach introduces a new dog actor to the screen who is going to be popular. He is well trained and acts intelligently. Jack London would have liked this dog, even as he loved the dog of his story. Buck not only takes direction with marvellous readiness, but seems to enfer into the spirit of the picture and enjoy it. Duty Comes First Although Love Is Calling to Ranger In the William Fox production of "The Grail," with Dustin Farnum, which comes to the Elmore theater Saturday, November 3; there is said to be a powerful moral, as well as a wealth of good action and picturesque romance. Appearing as a Texas Ranger who's father died with a plea on his lips that he never turn back on duty, Farnum plays a role which calls for all of his dramatic ability. He is called upon to choose between the girl of his heart and duty when he devolves on him to arrest her dear friend. The Ranger never hesitated, but makes the arrest and faces it out with his gun ready. In the end he wins the girl, but not until he has been forced to suffer untold mental anguish and dare to risk life and limb many times. Ethel Waters To Appear At Star Theater The Pittsburgh Theatre-goers will certainly welcome the coming of Miss Ethel Waters, exclusive Black Swan Record Artist, who is scheduled for a one week engagement only, Beginning Monday, October 29th, at The Star Theatre, Wylie Avenue. Miss Waters is one of the race's foremost "blues" singers. Those of you who are so familiar with the songs sung by Miss Waters will surely want to see her in person. She has created a sensation 1 through out all the cities she has appeared and can not do less in the "Smokey City." They say she's a dream in that gorgeous $5,000 "radio" dress. Really it means a whole lot to see her gowned in such brilliancy even though you do not hear her sing. Just think, she's going to wear this very dress every night in order that everyone may have an opportunity to see it. On Friday, night, Deppe's Famous Serenaders, Pittsburgh's Own, and also Genett-Record Artists will feature the Midnight Rumble which has played to a packed house at the Elmore for the past three weeks. This presentation will include all numbers which were recorded for the Genett Record Corporation. This is positively Miss Waters' last appearance in the city this season.

Crime among the colored citizens of Harrisburg is steadily on the decrease, Judge John E. Fox told directors of the Harrisburg Y. M. C. A. at their monthly meeting last week commenting upon the report of Dr. Charles H. Crampton, president of the Colored branch of the association. "It may be interesting and encouraging for you, to know," said Judge Fox, "that I remarked only a day or two ago to Judge Hargest that fewer colored people are coming into our criminal courts now than for many years back. With the exception of several homicide cases and the pitiful drug addicts, very few colored people come into the Dauphin county criminal reasons for this decrease, but I am convinced the helpful influence of the Colored Y. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. branches are to a large degree responsible." Dr. Crampon reported a total of 341 members in the colored branch and the dormitories yielding a handsome return monthly, so much so that there is demand for another house. HARRISBURG, PA. Mr. P.

They expect us merely to stand on the sidelines in the days of peace. Our junior said he lost his memory from shell-shock at Metz in the thickest of the fray in 1918. Time rolls on but white people still believe the brother has little capacity for thought. Free schools throughout this land have been crowded for the last ten years with young men and women who not top school but it is estimated there are 25,000 college trained men alone scattered in every part of this land. There must be 100, 000 women. A half leaf, or a side line seat is not going to be tolerated by these trained minds. We must not forget, too, that there are over 200 weekly newspapers and magazines printing all the news of racial protests that even he who runs may read. THE Governors paraded through Indianapolis escorted by colored police and firemen as well as others on their way to West Baden. Running true to form they confined themselves to the prohibition question and the 18th amendments; not a word on the 14th and 15th amendment. Of course the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill and the Ku Klux Klan in spite of its best efforts in spite of 200,000 in Indiana were subjects too infinitesimal to come before our sun-kissed state already there are more than 30 cars standing outside waiting for the building to open. In order to carry on the aero division of the school, the president realizes that a new flying field must be secured. Already, negotiations are under way to secure a large field in Cumberland valley. A special program will be a feature of the evening, and it is expected that many prominent out-of-town guests will be present.

Felton Realizes His Dream Founder and Organizer of Mechanical Institution Announces Opening for October 29. HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 25. William H. Felton, the mechanical wizard of this city, is about to realize his fondest dreams! With the announcement that his new $100,000 Auto and Aero Mechanical school would be formally opened next Monday evening, a new era in the advancement of the race in the mechanical world is being launched. $100,000 Building The new school, which will be opened with auspicious ceremonies, is one of the most complete schools of its kind in the country. William M. Felton, the founder and organizer of the school which so honorably bears his name, is a picturesque figure in the state. He has risen through sheer perseverance and merit, hurdling almost insurmountable obstacles, until today he is recognized with the leaders of the mechanical world. Felton started his school several years ago, and with the aid of his wife, America's first colored aviatrix, slowly but surely worked up a substantial business until at the present time the school enrolls students from all over the country. The new building is a fire-proof two-story affair, and is equipped with the latest machinery to build or repair automobiles or airplanes. On the main floor of the building are the lecture rooms, a large reception hall, rest rooms and general storage department. On the second floor is the workshop of the school, where the actual instruction of the students take place. During the construction of the schools, more than $10,000 was paid out to colored students alone, Mr. Felton states, and also adds that THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Heard and Seen By EDGAR G.

How lovely to talk of prohibition enforcement from the wet precincts of jolly West Baden.

Prominent Citizen Tells What Helped Him Mr. Frank Sutton, Lodge Leader and Politician, Gives Permission to Print Story. "I believe my trouble all came from a run-down condition caused by poor appetite, frequent headaches and distressing attacks of gas. I had a tired, miserable feeling all the time and also suffered from constipation. I was forced to take laxatives four or five times a week. I first tried Todd's Tonic because I thought it would help me, and it surely did for my relief through the use of Todd's Tonic was certainly convincing. I now have a good appetite. I never suffer from gas attacks and never have since taking the second bottle of Todd's Tonic. I have not had a headache for months. This wonderful tonic also cured me of constipation. I have never used a laxative since I finished my second bottle of Todd's Tonic. I recommend Todd's Tonic because it did so much good for me."—FRANK SUTTON, 200 Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa., Hotel Proprietor.

ASHOCKED public sentiment is responsible for the proposed inter-racial conference to be called for the purpose of securing some kind of united and organized opposition to the criminals, both black and white, now operating in the Pittsburgh district. Crimes of all grades have been committed recently to such an alarming extent that a conference of TWENTY-FOUR will be asked to sit in session on general conditions. It is worthy of note that the Conference was proposed by members of the colored group, and twelve white representatives will come to the conference to give full weight to the movement to stop, or at least check, crime in the Greater Pittsburgh district. Crime is not confined to any race or group. It is very much like diseases, it knows nothing of color or religion. There will be a general approval of this getting together of the working forces of both races. There is danger in division, but corresponding safety in a united effort to stamp out any existing evil. The whites appreciate how futile it is to stop one group of criminals only to permit another to operate with more freedom. The law knows nothing o fdiscrimination, of color or of race. It is the individual entrusted with the enforcement of the law who injects religion, race and color into the law of the land. A conference of men and women who know the full value of concerted effort will mean much in our industrial district. We need labor, honest labor, and we open our doors for it. Naturally, there will creep into our community a few undesirables whose conduct arouses the resentment of all law-fearing and order-loving citizens. The world is held together by those who love law and order, and in spite of opinions, there are enough good people in the world to furnish the sinews of war against crime and lawlessness. Let us have the conference. We may find how much we are responsible for the apparent lack of law and order in the world. At least, we can not make any mistake by registering our disapproval of the wrong we see in our great and growing community. EORGE is speaking in this country of touching his own country. He is three away from home, but cable facilities are a war was raging. His audience across intently, and he speaks freely and at lea the statements made is that France is LOYD GEORGE is speaking in this country on very live topics touching his own country. He is three thousand miles away from home, but cable facilities are as good now as when the war was raging. His audience across the pond is listening attentively, and he speaks freely and at length. Among the statements made is that France is backing the present disintegration movement in Germany. That France is financing the division of the once powerful Empire into independent republics. This, according to Lloyd George, will deprive all the Allied countries of their reparations. Think of it, we are going to lose the CASH! Viewed from an impartial position, it will be a blessing for the world when the whole question of reparations is settled, either by payment, which seems very unlikely now, or by a general cancellation of the debt by all of the credit countries. If France is financing the general breaking up of the German Empire, she is doing it with the full knowledge that her reparations will never be forthcoming. If France has decided that she had rather see a new map in Europe than to receive the reparations which are now long past due, she has been driven to that conclusion by reason of the history of the Germans along the Rhine frontier. The whole truth is, France is tired of being invaded by Germany every twenty-five or fifty years. France prefers to lose her share of the reparations than to be invaded again with no certain hel pin sight closer than Uncle Sam. No one can blame France. And the world will be far better off when Germany is split up, into Republics, whose governments can be relied upon to make and keep promises. Trade conditions will be restored to normalcy when the word of the Germans is restored to the good graces of the trading world. No one cares if Great Britain loses her reparations. She can afford to lose it. No one in the United States would care whether this country made a profit out of the war, or sustained a loss. We did not go to war for money—if Mr. Wilson is to be believed. We went to the rescue of Liberty, and to establish Democracy. Under present day conditions, we are moving away from the original purpose, and drifting into more and new difficulties—all over money. If Lloyd George Thinks this country is going to aid him in regaining his lost grip upon the John Bull government, he may awake to find himself mistaken. Let Germany break into a thousand pieces, if she cares. Let her debts be cancelled, if there is no other way honorably to settle the war claims. But whether Germany pays or does not pay is not half as important as whether mankind, the world over, agrees that there is room enough on earth for all creation. T SIXTEEN A Conference on Crime Splitting Up Germany Pittsburgh THE Courier AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY A GUIDING SPIRIT HOVERS NEAR—By Holloway BRADLE OF MARY BHALDER WOMANHOOD W. HOLTOWAY. 23* FROM the "low-lying valley, soft, warm and green" womanhood has journeyed to the "uplifted, mighty mountain," under the dauntless leadership of women like the late Mary B. Talbert. As they have passed on, over the sun-gold crest, through the foggy-blue clouds to Heaven and Him, womanhood calls their spirit back. Stummed, beildered, grieved and alone, womanhood hesitates on the mountain climb. But they shall shall remain steadfast, wardenward plod, while the spirit-shadow of the departed one will hover near, watching, guiding and praying with us and for us, strengthening our hopes, quickening our inspirations, that we too might keep the Faith. THE KLAN By VICTOR L. BERGER In the Milwaukee Leader (Continued From Page 1) has heard of only a small percentage of the midnight outrages perpetrated by these masked and hooded cowards and law breakers. "Public government has been superseded by the invisible despotism. In scores of southern and southwestern cities and counties the police and sheriff's offices, the prosecuting attorneys and other officials sworn to enforce the law have come under Klan control. As a result, victims of Klan night riding parties—men and women brutally outraged and beaten on the bare assertion of some personal enemy that they have offended against law or propriety—are unable to obtain redress of their grievances. They dare not appeal to the local officials whose duty it is to protect them and to punish their persecutors, because they know those officials are members of the Klan, bound by the Klan's oath. "That oath, the very essence of treason, exempts Khansmen from testifying against each other in courts of law except in cases of murder, rape and treason. "So, hundreds of men and women, never publicly accused of any crime, never put on trial for any offense against the law, have been dragged from their homes at night by masked and hooded men, have been terribly beaten, in many cases also covered with hot tar and feathers, and bidden to 'get out of the country' lest worse befall them, which they have done because they were helpless, whether guilty or innocent. ```markdown ``` "In many of the larger Klan groups in the south there is a regularly officiating 'cutter' a jackleg surgeon, whose function it is to emasculate male victims of Klan raids when the leaders decree it. "Scores of men, white as well as black, have been thus mutilated by Klan raiders upon the bare assertion of some person- THE PITTSBURGH COURIER al enemy or enemies that they had been guilty of immoral conduct. "You folks here in the north can't have any idea of the conditions in the south. "The Klan pretends to be trying to 'save the country' from the Jews and the Roman Catholics, and to 'keep the Niggers in their place,' but this is mere pretense. "Its actual purpose, revealed repeatedly, is to get control of the people's civil governments, city, county, state and nation, and to use that control for the profit of an 'invisible government' responsible only to the little group that rules the order from its headquarters in Atlanta. "Klan leaders pretend the Klan is not responsible for the thousands of midnight outrages committed by masked men throughout the south. The fact is, these outrages, creating widespread fear to oppose Klan pretensions in any way, are the Klan's chief means of riding into political power. "The best people of the South, the most intelligent and fair minded, of all racial and religious groups, abhor the Klan and are determined to defeat its monstrous assertion of a right to establish 'an invisible government' in place of the whole people's public governments." Thus Mr. Putnam. And his statements have been corroborated by other men equally trustworthy—who live in various Southern states. And are you willing to join an organization—"whose fruits through the South, where it began, have been widespread murder, mutilation, arson and general violence, and whose temporary prestige will quickly pass like a bad dream?" Two Conventions to Be Held in Columbus WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority have both chosen Columbus, Ohio, for their annual convention to be held December 27th to 31st. Alpha Phi Alpha has organized eight new chapters during 1923, giving it 49 chapters with a membership of 3,000. The WHAT NOT COLUMN : Who was Antonio Maceo? Jose Antonio Maceo was a Cuban patriot. He was born in Santiago de Cuba' in 1848. He joined the insurgent army as a private in 1865, and his natural ability and personal magnetism as a leader soon brought him to the front, making him second only to the great Gomez. Under his skillful leadership the Spanish were defeated at Demajugua and La Galetta; his campaign in Baracca in 1878 showed masterly generalship, as his utter riot rout of Santacledes at San' Union. Macco alone of all the Cuban Generals refused to sign the peace of Zanion. His achievements in the campaign of 1895 in the Pinar del Re Province, and his battles at Paralijo and Jobita are among the most brilliant feats in the history of Cuba's struggle for independence. While crossing the trocha between Majana and Mariel, in December 1896, attended only by his staff, he was surrounded by a Spanish force and killed. Did a Negro operator ever send out a Radio programme for a Negro Club? The first programme to be sent out by a Negro operator for a Negro club was that complete the affair that took place from the WEAR station in Baltimore, under the auspices of the Banneker Radio Club on June 29th, 1923. Roland Carrington was the operator, and the artists were Lachner String Quartet; Morris L. Davidge, violin; Lillian Matthews, seporano; Llewellyn Wilson, pianist; Henry Pratt, violin, and Johnson Holsey, tenor. Who wrote the oil painting, "The Birth of Christ," that hangs in the Union Station of Kansas City, Missouri? In the Union Station of Kansas City, Missouri, hangs the oil painting, "The Birth of Christ." Recently a group of noted art critics viewed this painting and several of them insisted that the canvas was "old Italian" or the work of an artist, who had received his training from the old Latin Masters; but they were thoroughly astounded when Andrew Jackson, a Negro Janitor, and former coal-miner, was presented to them as the artist. The critics declared that the figures, depicting the Christ child lying in the manger watched over by the kneeling Virgin Mary, were perfect, as was the accuracy in shading and proportion of the foliage and the other background. Next Week's Whatnotg Next week's Whatches What was T. McCants Stewart? What happened in-Boston, Mass., on the morning of April 19th, 1775? What reply to an objection to the use of the word "African" in referring to the race was made by a race editor in 1843? --- Letter To The Editor To the Editor, The Pittsburgh Courier. Dear Sir:— I am writing on a subject that I think should be brought to your notice, knowing that your valuable paper reaches many of our people in Ohio, particularly in Eastern Ohio, and your good and timely advice may save SOME of our people from becoming converts to the scheming propagandists, who have undertaken to organize a Negro Alliance to the Ku Klux Klan. Knowing as they do, that should they realize their hopes of throwing this country into religious warfare, that it would be far better for them to have the Negro as an Ally than to have him to fight against them. Now on Sunday evening, October 5th, delegations from the K. K. Rivers in the city of Wellsville, Ohio, visited the two colored churches of the city, remained to the services, and, I may add, unmasked, contributed the sum of fifty dollars in each case, and told the members of the respective congregations that the Klan holds no ill will toward them and was really their friends. I am told that both ministers preached very creditable sermons, referring to the abuses having been heaped upon the Negroes by the organization, not only of today, but back to the reconstruction period. To this they all agreed, but from now on, they are going to be the only true friends to us; in fact, the masses to lead us to the promised land if we will but follow. Can you imagine it? The Klan turning out to be the black man's deliverer. The following week, when they felt free to talk to us, then there developed the proverbial "Nigger in the wood-pile," and they confided to some of us that they are going to organize in the very near future, the black auxiliary of the Klan, as soon as definite instructions are received from Atlanta, Georgia. It, I understand, is to be composed of Negroes of Northern birth and, of course, Protestants. You see, first they seek a division among us. Right there is a good chance to inform them that if they, the grandsons and daughters of the emigrant of two or three generations back were fighting and oppressing the white emigrant of today, that we, as black people could never be converted to such ingratitude to our own black sisters and brothers of the South, where the Klan was first organized to persecute, maim and murder us. That is why I ask you to speak to them through your valuable paper and only wish that you could speak to them in person as you know paper and or some might say many of our people to be convinced by a white man. I come in contact with its members daily in my business and they talk very freely to me about the order actually boasting of their membership instead of trying to conceal it. One fellow exhibited a card, in part it said: "We uphold the Constitution of the United States." I asked him if he tried to do that; he said that he did, and sworn to do so. "All right," I said, "I suppose you can recite for me the preamble of the Constitution of the U. S. A." I may well have asked him to give Prof. Einstein's rule of relativity. I then jumped to the other extreme and asked him what the Nineteenth Amendment dealt with. He was as green about that as he was about the Preamble. Nor did he recall one article or clause, date or name of any signer of that ancient document, with one exception concerning the Eighteenth Amendment, he had a recollection "that it done away with the booze." This was too much for me and I asked him and then there: "How in the h—— can you uphold something that you don't know a d—— thing about?" I just state such cases which have occurred more than once to show you the average mentality of some of these 100% Americans whom I meet daily. But I find the better class of whites are not connected with them nor in sympathy with them. But I do think that the colored people of Wellsville, Ohio, and the city, where this is attested, would be and the Negro press and pulpit are the most direct mediums to warn them. I know that you have heard it told how black slaves back in '60s works. night and day tearing up rails to check the advance of the Northern armies who, they were told, were "Yankees with horns, who ate Niggers" and you have seen the deeet and treachery of the white-man in politics to gain his end. Now I implore you to write to these people if interest talks to them personally and interest race organizations to talk to them. I delete your this because of my business where I am dependent on the other race for my living and sign yours for the Race, ANTI-KLAN.

Have they the who-pounded fy the landlord, the grocer and the coal man when the period of unemployment again grips the country? Can they ford to be out of a job for one month, two months or months? Unemployment, dreaded by employer and employee is a periodically recurrent phenomenon. It is as certain to drive as the seasons of the year. We produce the necessary luxuries of life at a feverish speed for a certain period. We find the goods piling up. There is not enough in hands of potential purchasers to buy back the necessities of goods produced. Not being able to add what they ready have on hand, manufacturers curtail or cause prices. Less employees are required. The superfluous are discharge accordance with sound business policy. Those astute individuals who have forcourted an agency and placed their hard earned money in the bank are equipped to weather the storm. But what of the brothers sisters who have derisively announced: "I'm a boss who good time while I can," and "We ain't gotta have no long as the folks have a job, all is well. But what of the when the job has departed? Will they have a supply of monetary water when the economic well runs out?" Poverty, Pool and Polytechnics see American city, especially in the mid of night and day schools where your tuition fee, can prepare them selves, electricians, plasterers, bricklayers, surveyors, draftsmen, architects, in highly skilled trades. Some of the of hours each evening for six monsoon to fit an intelligent young man to we In every large American city, especially in the north and are dozens of night and day schools where young men very small tuition fee, can prepare them-selves to be competent plumbers, electricians, plasterers, bricklayers, machinetelegraphers, surveyors, draftsmen, architects, linotypers, dozens of other highly skilled trades. Some of these schools free. A couple of hours each evening for six months or are sufficient to fit an intelligent young man to work at these trades. For instance, the tuition fee at a certain listing school is $150. Young men can prepare for the average listed above for less than $100. These schools should be crowded with Negroes. Last we find most of our young men growing hump-backed over tables or sampling the local brand of synthetic gin. Pool isfectly alright as a diversion, but not as a diet. As a young grows proficient in running fifteen balls off the table with a skillful strokes, he finds it more difficult to get anyone to with him. Pool balls are notoriously indigestable. On the hand, the more skilled a man become as a workman, the valuable he is and consequently the more desirable to a ployer. The higher skilled he becomes, the more wages to demand and receive. It should be perfectly obvious that technics are far more profitable than pool—except to the priorer of the pool room. Civilization is control over the natural resources. The greatest civilization is that having the greatest control over environment. The people who are the real foundation of our tricute machine civilization are the skilled workers. The people in any modern industrial country are those with greatest knowledge of the industrial arts. This is real power. If the Negro would become a greater power in the United States he must gain economic power—the directive force every modern nation, the backbone of every ancient nation. The way to power lies through polytechnics. The way toerty through pool. Many will protest that if they spend money and prepare for such-work they will not be able to get employment to join a union. This conclusion is based on faulty reasoning. bor is a commodity like iron, isinglass or iodine. It is the dispensable factor in production. Like other commodities subject to the law of supply and demand. When then a large supply of iron, its price is low. When iron is scarce price is high, whether the scarcity be natural or artificial.cisely the same thing holds true of laboring power. When it is a large supply of carpenters, their wage is small. When penters are scarce, their wage, or price, is high. whether scarcity be natural or artificial. This is true throughout entire labor field. Now iron is iron. An employer needing the commi- iron, is not concerned whether the iron was mined by Chie Poles, Siberians, Negroes, or Irishmen. He wants iron, in sufficient quantities at the cheapest price obtainable. The thing is true of labor, skilled or unskilled. The employer we say: 250 carpenters, 75 ironworkers and 25 cement finishers. He is first concerned with the price of these skilled laborers is to his interest to pay the lowest wage, just as he pays cheapest price he can-get for iron, cement, lumber, etc. larger the supply of any commodity, including laboring pay the more favorable to the employer. The smaller the se- the more favorable to the employees. This explains why unions, openly or clandestinely, exclude Negroes, esp. those organizations of the skilled workers. Not solely be- they are Negroes, but because they wish to discourage p- entering these trades in order to keep the supply of their ticular labor scarce. Naturally racial differences are of assistance. Of course, the unions are powerful and the ex- ers do not antagonize them unless there is a likelihood of able to carry on without them. That explains why empl- are loath to employ Negro skilled workmen and women they are in small numbers. However, when these Negro ers appear in large numbers on the industrial field, they tate a menace to organized labor and a blessing to org- capital. The capitalists' fear of organized labor dimin- direct ratio to the number of UNorganized skilled workers appear on the field. The more Negroes become skilled wi the quicker will they find employment. The organized workers, seeing the menace to their security by the ir- must hasten to make friends with this dangerous foe. Erre- sacred idea of white superiority is discarded when the se- begins to embrace the spine. Hence a great cry to union- Negro arise, and the doors of labor organizations hither- red by Negrophobia and Economic Self-interest, will fly magically. Incidents to prove this contention are num- the labor movement here and abroad. Hence, the salvation of the Negro lies in economic cipation from the role of domestic worker and laborer, nomically essential skilled workers—the key men of modern chine civilization. The opportunities are all about. A few lars and a few hours a week are all that are required. So are begging for pupils. Some give tuition fee. It behoors young men and women to take advantage of these opportunities for their own benefit and for the benefit of the Negro manway to power lies through polytechnics, the way to through pool.
