JAPAN ON AMERICAN LYNCHING JAPAN ON AMERICAN LYNCHING Japan has recently taken a position on American lynchings. The Asian Review, speaking editorially, writes of the burning of Henry Lowery at Nordena, Arkansas, as follows: "It is an indelible stain," the editorial continues, "on [the name of America] that in this enlightened age such crimes should take place publicly and the offenders go unpunished. It goes to demonstrate the utter callousness of heart of the American public. Lynching is possible in the United States because the spirit of America is in favor of it. If this were not true, this foul crime would never have grown to its present proportions nor would any of the more than three thousand lynchings during the past thirty-two years have taken place." While we are pleased to see foreign criticism of American atrocities, and we regard it as very wholesome for another nation to hold up to storm the vices of the United States—we are nevertheless aware of the implications of this new Japanese attitude. Under normal conditions the international thieves maintain a code of honor (or dishonor) whereby no official criticism of the other is permitted. Especially rigid is this rule with respect to the treatment of colonies, classes or races by the ruling capitalist government or empire. For instance, the United States will not criticise Great Britain's oppression of Ireland, her rape of India, her exploitation of Egypt, her emasculation of China. Great Britain nor the United States will point to Japanese atrocities in Korea. Nor will Japan and Great Britain expose or condemn America's lynching and-burning of Negroes, its watercures in the Phillipines, its rape of Haiti and San Domingo. Even the German Kaiser was the "modern Prince of Peace" until the World War broke out and ten billion dollars loaned to the allies were in danger of being lost. No one of the great capitalist nations can normally afford to criticize the other, lest the other might expose the criticizer as being "not without sin" itself. When the international thieves begin this kind of thing—it means war! And heren lies the only explanation of such unethical action on the part of the official capitalist Japanese press as a resort to criticizing Negro lynchings in the United States. For who does not remember how quickly Rustem Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, was forced to be recalled a few years ago because he compared the Negro lynchings here with Turkish massacres of the Armenians? War today means preparedness—preparedness not only in munitions, but preparedness in popular opinion. The Japanese people must be made to believe that America aims to subjugate them, segregate them, lynch and burn and mob them because they are colored. Nor is it difficult with such a concrete case as the burning at stake in broad day light of a Negro citizen Again, this type of publicity will serve the Japanese ruling class in a two-fold manner. It will inspire the Japanese masses with the fatalistic determination never to come under the yoke of American imperialism. Next, it will create discontent with America on the part of that portion of the population—the Negroes—which feels most keenly the brunt of color prejudice. Moreover, the Negroes will be the front line trench men against Japan in case of war. (The lowest group of any population always serve as cannon fodder during a war.) We hardly need to say that we are in favor of exposing American hypocrisy. Nor is it out of place here to expose the utter hypocrisy of Japan which brutalizes the Chinese, oppresses and shamefully the Koreans, crushes and abuses the Japanese working classes, and disfranchises more Japan—in Japan—than the United States disfranchises Negroes in the South. Still, to point out the significance of the symptoms is imperative. Within the next few months, let our readers watch the British press. If its official and capitalistic press begins to pretend concern about Amer- ican Negroes, Haitians, Dominicans, Porto Ricans, lynching, race riots and burrings at the stake in the United States—that means Great Britain has sided with Japan in the deadly struggle now about to be waged between the powerful American empire and world imperialists. This Japanese eleventh hour concern over Negro lynching in America is a premonition—a symptom of large significance to the student of world politics—a cue fraught with bigness and consequence.—The Messenger. THE BIRTH OF A NATION SHOWN IN COPENHAGEN Baltimore Boy Studying Abroad Finds Ku Klux Klan Film in Danish Capital. Copenhagen, Denmark, Sept. 15. (by mail).—Just as the Negro in America has learned that the race problem is bound by no section, but extends as far as the Negro abroad finds the problem pursuing him from land to land. Mechanical inventions and ease of communication permit the venom of American race prejudice to circle the globe and revive the primitive passions of civilized men against the Negro. This truth was impressed on me when I saw one day in large headline the announcement that the historical film success "The Birth of a Nation," would be shown at the largest theater in Copenhagen. I could scarcely believe my eyes for had I not helped to kill the vicious film just two months before in New York city. It seemed as if an evil deed had been resurrected to haunt me. Nevertheless, I went to see the film with a young university student, especially to observe the effect upon the audience and find out if the film contained its worst parts. To my dismay it contained all the falsed history, designed to convert the North and turn he sympathies a men against the Negro. In short the Negro was represented simply as a rapiat. All the cenes purporting historical authenticity made his efforts during Reconstruction appear a travesty upon human intelligence. In his brutal distorted nature we see in the picture, we cannot recognize the souls of the Folk who gave the world the Negro spirituals. But saddest of all my young friend who had seen the picture the night before believed it and feeling awakened in them the pride of race and applauded in American style. During the intermission the credulous eyes were fixed upon me, deluged in a sea of white faces. They wonder—I dare not divine; but I wondered why, if there is any plan in the universe—lies are permitted to triumphantly blight the hearts of men; while Truth, his emancipator, must be humbly trampled upon. With these thoughts, I took a train the next morning for Paris. When I returned from Paris the "Birth of a Nation" was still drawing large crowds. I determined to speak a word on behalf of Truth. With this in mind I went to the office of the Politiken and asking the editor to accept an raticle disputing the representations of the picture and defending the conduct of the Negro in the United States. He gladly accepted the article because the picture had become the subject of discussion throughout the city. The next morning the article appeared in the Politiken on the front page and provoked the desire on the part of a reporter for a weekly paper to have an interview to learn the truth about the Negro problem.

MARCUS GARVEY ANSWERS HIS CRITICS IN TOTO 10 U. S. MUSICIANS MISSING AS LINER GINKG AFTER GRACE New York, Oct. 18.—The Universal Negro Improvement Association through its American Headquarters, 56 West 135th street, New York City today issued to the press the following News item, same being an extract of Marcus Garvey's answer to his critics: "But for the work of the Univer ssa Negro Improvement Association of four years, the white, critical world would have been still thinking the Negro incapable of evolving a thot, of initiating a program****The argument of incapacity was so terrible so striking that we ourselves admit that we could do nothing." "Nothing is impossible for the Negro if a white man leads, but where the Negro attempts on his own account to advance a thought, before it is even uttered it is sall to be immissible by the critical of the race." "The French newspapers admit that the propaganda of 'Africa for the Africans' has gone so far that it has penetrated the Congo, and the Congoes are now striking and have told the white man that it is their intention to throw him out of Africa." "Real men, strong men show what is in them only when they meet occasion. If you want to ask me the cause of my success, I will say, 'position.'" "God Almighty created you a lord an emperor, an empress of the world, and in you is reflected the image of the Creator, hence, when you admit that you cannot do what other men have done, you have done on result into the face of 'the Almighty'" **That yours is an ordinary life, attribute it not to God. That you are backward and the other race is progressive, attribute it not to God, but rather to your own initiative and your own indifference." "When you miss the real scholar of the Negro race, you will find him here in Liberty Hall" **The man who has graduated from the academy of the world, the greatest university known to man." "Man must save himself from the graft, the avarice, the malice, and the theft of a world that has lost its true kinship with its God* .

MUSICIANS MISSING AS LINER SINKS AFTER CRASH Members of Southern Syncopated Orchestra Victims of Accident Off Scotch Coast. New York, Oct. 13.—According to the best information available here twenty-four persons, including ten col- ored members of the American Sou- thern Syncopated Orchestra perished when the Laird liner, Rowan, bank off the southwest coast of Scotland, fol- lowing two collisions Sunday. The accident was due to a double collision in the North Channel off Corsewall Point early in the morning, the Rowan first collided with the West Camak, which she damaged badly. Wireless calls brought the Clan liner Clan Malchom, but the latter in confusion and heavy fog ran into the disabled Rowan, which sank immediately. An official statement says the Rowan carried ninety-three persons including crew and was bound from Glasgow, Scotland, to Dublin, Ireland. The West Camak helped in the rescue work, afterward puttirg into Glasgow with twenty-nix survivors. Capt. Donald Brown of Glasgow is reported to have gone down with the Rowan. Three other vessels also answered the call and completed the work of rescue as far as it was possible. One of the men known to have died after being pulled out of the water wa Peter Robinson, drummer. The Syncopated orchestra which went to London in June, 1919, gave performances there and vicinity until two months ago when they made a tour of Scotland. There were originally 38 members, about 15 of them British players. THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER YOUR HOME PAPER-THAT'S ALL. Watch for the BIG Y. M. C.

CLARK, RESTORES MASONIC ORDER TO BUSINESS BASIS. Peace and Harmony Now Prevails In the Missouri Jurisdiction. NEW GRAND CHAPTER. O. E. S. ESTABLISHED. In St Louis, we had the pleasure of meeting Hon. Crittenden H. Clark, Attorney-at law, and Grand Master of Masons, Jurisdiction of Missouri. After a short interview on the condition of the order, we asked how long he had served, he remarked that he was on his third and last year. sons placed Two Thousand dollars in their Treasury to pay death claims and as much more as they may need. The following officers were elected: Worthy Grand Patron, Prof. R. H. Cile, St Louis; Worthy Grand Matron, Clara T Knox, Kansas City; Associate Grand Patron, E. J. Cooper, Mexico. Mo.; Associate Grand Matr. We inquired of the condition of the craft now compared with what it was when he took hold, to which he replied, "found matters in a chaotic condition, a few thousand dollars in debt, the morale of the membership at a low water mark, the Masonic Home at Hannibal, all run-down and very little attention paid to the inmates, the Eastern Star Grand Officers ignoring the Grand Lodge from which they get their organic power, writing laws into their constitution, violating land mark customs and usages, thereby placing the Masonic order of Missouri, their creator, second, subject to their command, in fact, ignoring their creator; also the Past Grand Officers and members disobeying the orders and requests of the Grand Lodge, ad libitum. He succeeded in first getting the finances of the order in a satisfactory condition, and at the present time there is Forty One Thousand dollars in the Grand Treasury, all bills paid and the financial matters in good shape. The Grand Lodge at its last session at Marshall, Mo., ordered that Fifteen Thousand dollars be invested in Liberty Bonds. The Grand Lodge of Masons, Jurisdiction of Colorado, brought Griefs against a brother member of the Missouri Jurisdiction on grounds of Immorality and the said brother was suspended. This is the first time such has been done in the history of colored Masonry of this country and in our mind, we doubt if white Masons ever did such. Masonry believes in the protection of a Masons family in any protection of the Union and no Mason in this jurisdiction can escape the penalty, if the evidence and proof is produced. A [Picture of a man with a bald head and a dark suit.] Hon, Crittenden E. Clark Grand Master, Masonic Grand Lodge Missouri Jurisdiction. Masons obligation extends beyond the confines of the state of Missouri, or her jurisdiction. They also had to assemble brother Masons who had ignored orders of the Grand Lodge, also a brother for misplacing lodge funds. He was sorry and regretted to do this, but it was necessary to do so to have peace and harmony. One of the most painful things he had to do was the carrying out of the order of the Grand Lodge with reference to the Grand United Chapter of the Eastern Star of the State, that is, to meet and write a new constitution. This was agreed upon by the Grand Officers of the two Grand bodies. The time and place was Mexico, Mo, Oct 7th and 8th. Instead of the Grand Officers of the Eastern Star, they had the Sheriff to meet them with an injunction, he found, however, that he did not have the word, nor did his papers call for anything this gathering was intended for. His papers asked that this meeting be enjoined from interfering with the finances or the business of the Grand Chapter of the eastern star. Grand Master Chris was too shrewd for that. He did not care about their finances or their order. They had come to organize a new chapter and did organize what is known as Harmony Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star of the State of Missouri.

Cole, St Louis; Worthy Grand Matron, Clara T Knox, Kansas City; Associate Grand Patron, E. J. Cooper, Mexico; Mo; Associate Grand Matron, Mamie B. Smith, Sedalia, Mo; Grand Treasurer, Frances L Boxley, Springfield, Mo; Grand Secretary, Gertrude L Sutherland, Kinloch Park, Mo; Grand Relief and Burial Secretary, Minnie L Croothwaite, Kansas City, Mo; Grand Lecturer, Mary A. Johnson, Kansas City, Mo; Grand Conductress, Leonie Williams, Cape Girardeau, Mo; Associate Grand Conductress, Mrs. Dr. Paey, Moberly, Mo; Grand Sentinol, David Celebro, Carleton, Mo Following the election, Past Grand Matron, Frances L. Boxley, assisted by Past Grand Matron, America B. Robinson, convened a Grand Chapter, under the name of Harmony Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star of Missouri and the elected officers were duly installed. The new Grand Chapter was duly constituted, consecrated and dedicated by the Grand Master Critteldon Clark, assisted by Past Grand Matrons Boxley and Robinson, together with the commission appointed, Fred W. Dabney, Edw. W. Levy, D. Livingstone White, R. H. Cole, Grand Secretary, R. Leon Hill, Past Grand Faster, C. G. Williams, Deputy Grand Master, Eugene G. Lacey, Grand Treasurer, H. H. Walker, Grand Marshall, Thomas Basa, Grand Lecturer, E. J. Cooper, W. H. Brown, David Cleeton, Grand High, Pricet, T. J. Moffit. All Master Masons were forbidden to affiliate with the old order. Therefore they cannot have a Patron and are clandestine and no sister jurisdiction can recognize this order. All subordinate chapters of this defunct body will simply meet and vote to ask Harmony Grand Lodge for a new charter which will be granted no member of the defunct order, who will lose their standing and can just move on as before only a new name for the Grand Lodge, new Grand Officers' Lodges can retain old name by a vote and the securing of a new charter. Should a member die, the money is waiting to pay the claim as though the old Grand Lodge never existed. Peace and harmony is what the Masons of Missouri want and what the Race needs. The Grand United Chapter made one of the worst kind of blunders it has made in its history. We cannot see nor understand how the officers made such glaring mistakes. The only way we see out of this dilemma, is for them to advise all subordinate lodges to go in and secure the new charter at once, and get in out of the cold themselves. The old defunct Grand Officers also encouraged the belligerent Master Masons to oppose the progress of the Grand Lodge of Masons on this issue. In our travels over the Missouri Jurisdiction, we find the Masons, almost to a man, with Grand Master Clark on this matter and are backing him to the limit. Following is part of the Grand Master's address at the session held Marshall, Mo "Tuesday, Nov. 30th, 1920, during her annual visit to the city of St. Louis, the Grand Maton, O. K. S, declared that the constitution of the United Grand Chapter had been amended and among the provisions of the new Constitution were the following. That no member of the Eastern Star, holding office in an other Grand body was eligible to hold an office in the Grand Chapter O. H. S. That if a member of the Order Star belonged to any other organization and passed away, and her remains were in charge of any other body than the Order Eastern Star, the member of the Eastern Star were prohibited from attending the funeral of such member in a body, or from reading letters of sympathy or condolence at such funerals.

Superior to Famous Gland Treatment Magic Power of a Bark from Africa Have you lost your youth, vigor and "Pep"? Does life seem dull and work a grind? Don't worry. Science has discovered a new vitalizer superior even to the much discussed "goat gland" and "monkey gland" treatment. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be the most amazing invigorator ever discovered. Combined with it are other tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In most cases, the compound produces marked improvement in a day or two, and in a short time the vitality is revived, the circulation improved and the glow of health is felt in every part. The new vitalizer contains expensive chemicals, but manufacturing in enormous quantities has brought the cost within the reach of all. Furthermore, the laboratories producing this new vitalizer, which is called Re-Nu-Tabs, are so confident of its power that they offer it on the basis of "no results, no pay." Any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk. Send no money, but just your name and address, to the Re-Nu-Tab Laboratories, Dept. 144, Gateway station, Kansas City, Mo., and a full treatment of Re-Nu-Tabs will be mailed. Deposit $2.00 with the postman on delivery. If not delighted by the results at the end of a week, notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about accepting this test offer, as it is fully guaranteed. (Continued from Front page) should immediately precede that of the Fasonic Lodge. That the Eastern Star service could not be performed over a deceased sister or brother unless the Chapter had sole charge of the remains and any chapter appering at such funeral would be suspended, and the warrant taken up. When asked if this applied to the Grand Lodge of Masons, she replied, Yes. When asked if the law pertaining to those eligible to office applied to the Grand Lodge of Masons, Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons, Grand Commandery, and Grand Court Heroines of Jericho, she replied, Yea. Thus you will readily see that an attempt had been made to discriminate against all brances of the Masonic family, who might be honored by the respective branches, in being elevated to office in that particular branch. It is said to us that if you are honored by your Grand Lodge by either elective or appointive office you are barred from participating in the affairs of the Grand Chapter, no matter how long you have been a member, no matter how well you are qualified, no matter if the members of the Grand Chapter desire to honor you for meritorious service by electing you unalomously to some position of trust the fact that you are a member of this Grand Lodge you are disqualified. Should you have been a member of the Order of Eastern Star for 25 years and given the majority of your time to the interests of the saue, and you should pass away, the fact that some other organization had charge of your remains, would deprive your friends, sisters and brothers of the Order of Eastern Star, no matter how much they desired, from paying the last tributes of respect to your remains, that they so much desired to do. The only reason being that you belong to some other organization besides the Order Eastern Star. Should your mother, wife or sister, pass away under this ruling of the Grand Matron, and they had spent years in building up the Order, and their most intimate friends desired to turn out as a body to pay a last tribute of respect to their remains, if any other organization had charge of their remains then they would be barred from sb dolay. Should a brother Magon die and he should belong to the Order Eastern Star Commandery, and Royal Arch, in arranging our funeral programme, we again must be submissive to the new regime of the Order of Eastern Star when we are informed that in event the Masonic lodge has charge of the remains, then their service shall immediately precede that of the Lodge. Thus in this event, we cannot longer carry out our custom of holding the Knights Templar service immediately preceding that of the lodge. With this condition of affairs confronting me, I was called into conference with the members of the chapter and the Grand Matron stated the above to be the law and could not be varied from. The indies as well as the brethren of the O. E. S complained to me and desired a ruling. It was with much regret that I was compelled to take some action in the premises. My mother had been a member of the Eastern Star from its inception, my wife a member for many years and Past Grand Treasurer, and Past Grand Associate Matron, my daughters, four sisters, son and myself, all belonging for years to this Order, and paying tribute thereto, each one financial, each working for the best interests of the order, and each an enthusiastic member. It was certainly an unpleasant duty for me as Grand Master of the Masons to determine just what action should be taken by the Fountain Head of the Order relative to the many volations of Masonry. After due and deliberate consideration and after careful reference to the Land Marks of Masonry, I found first, that all respect for the prerogatives of the superior body, Our Grand Lodge, had been entirely ignored, found that in every department, in every branch, the Grand Chapter, R. A. M, the Grand Commandery, the Grand Court, Heroines of Jericho, all were working together for the betterment of the Order and the uplift of the Race." KAN8Ag INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE DEFEATS WESTERN UNIVERSITY. End Runs and Broken Field Runs The Features of Game. Topeka, Kansas, Oct. 29 —The fast fighting football of Coach Clee Abbott, of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, won its third conference game here today by defeating Western University, of Quindaro, in a hard fought contest on Washburn field by a score of 14 to 0. The two teams battled for two quarters without a single score. The Quindaro boss enetered the game with a seemingly overconfident idea in view of their former premacy over the Topekans, having only suffered two defeats in the twelve years of playing. At the beginning of the third quarter, Burton of this city, got away for a 50 yard run around the Quindaro right end for a touchdown. His interference was perfect, taking every Western man out of play. This took the visitors off their feet and before they could regain their balance Stevenson scored another touchdown. Both goals were kicked making the score 14 to 0. At no time was Topeka's goal in danger. They showed a keen insight in solving Quindaro's plays and were successful in their forward passes, and on an average of three out of five they made for good gains. In the fourth quarter Julindaro tried an areal attack but to no advantage the institute's back field intercepted nearly every one. This game was the decisive point toward the Valley championship of the colored schools and was watched with great interest. "IT WON'T BURN THE SCALP!"

BEWARE OF BORROWING YOUR NEIGHBORS NEWSPAPER A woman who was too economical to subscribe for her home paper sent her little son to borrow a copy from the neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a four dollar stand of bees and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into it breaking it down, sutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a five dollar pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the cernfield and killed herself eating corn. Hearing the rucket, the mother ran, upsetting a four gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her hurry she drop pad and broke, past all hope of mending, a twenty five dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, ruining a twenty five dollar carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens and the calf got out and chewed the tails off of four fine shirts. All to save a measly dollar. HERES SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEADACHE You'll feel better as soon as you swallow the first one. Two or three pills usually stop all the pain. DR.

Crossland, of St Joseph, Mo., recently appointed to the branch of the War Veteran's Bureau, which handles the cases of Negro veterans, has submitted a long list of recommendations, most important of which is that he thinks his title should be changed from "special expert" to that of Assistant to the Director. His office, he suggests, should be the point of contact for the Nero veteran. And "every award or disallowance of vocational training to colored veterans should be subject to review by my office; that I be permitted to inspect every institution, factory, plant and individual charge with the instruction of colored train-ees." Dr. Crossland wants a notary public in his office to assist in filing claims; to use his office to disseminate by way of the Negro press, fraternal orders and welfare organizations information concerning all the activities of the war risk insurance etc.; to investigate conditions in hospitals where Negroes are treated; to conduct a publicity campaign familiarizing Negroes with the big job he has in Washington and a traveling representative in every one of fifteen Southern states under his supervision to explain the work of the bureau.

(Special)—False rumors and lase reports with regard to one of the largest Negro institutions In the United States have been circulated for the purpose of injuring said institution. This was not detected until this week when a number of letters were sent here to Dr. R. H. Boyd, the secretary and founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board, owned and controlled by Negroes. One of the rumors set afloat was the effect that the plant had been closed and was not able to produce literature. Another rumor was that Dr. Boyd had become mentally deranged; and still another that the plant had gone into liquidation. Members of the Board were seen this week and they explained that all this had been circulated merely because of certain denominational differences. An investigation reveals the fact that the plant, which is located here at the corner of Second avenue and Locust street, has done an increased business each year of its existence, and even the last report that was read before the National Baptist Convention at New Orleans, La., by Dr. Boyd himself, who spoke for an hour and a half before more than three thousand interested hearers, showed that an increase of more than ten thousand dollars in business with a circulation increase of over one hundred thousand in literature had been made for the year just closed. Dr. Boyd was given a big ovation. When he was seen this week about the false reports he declared that he never attempted to run down false reports. "A lie travels faster than the truth." They say this is due to the fact that once the truth and the lie went swimming, the lie came opt first and stole truth's clothes and ever since that time the truth has gone around naked, so we call it "the naked truth." A lie is always dressed up and travels fast; truth is modest and never pushes itself on people. Dr. Boyd was feeling his best, and declared that the National Baptist Publishing Board, the property of the Baptists of the United States.
