The federal amendment is male necessary by the fact that the supreme court of the United States, exercising a usurped power, has rendered decisions declaring that two child labor restriction laws enacted by congress and signed by the President, designed to prohibit un-American employers from coining the labor of children into profits exceeded the legislative rights of congress as conferred by the Constitution. INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE Y. M. C. A. Auctioneer is made from New York by the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association of North America of the appointment of Channing H. Tobias as Senior Secretary of the Colored Men's Department of that Committee. He succeeded Dr. Jessie E. Moorland, who reached the retirement age upon October 1. Dr. Moorland had been connected with the Colored Men's Department for 25 years. Mr. Tobias has been a secretary of the International Committee for 12 years, giving the major portion of his time to student work. He is a graduate of Paine College, in his native city of Augusta, Ga., and of Drew Theological Seminary, Madison N. J. Defore becoming associated with the International Committee he was professor of religious education at Paine College, which has awarded him honorary degrees. Mr. and Mrs. Tobias with their two daughters, live in Washington, D. C., but his promotion to the Senior Secretaryship of the Colored Men's Department will necessitate his moving to New York City. He is a member of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and is executive secretaries of Colored As widely known in connection with its activities. In announcing to the general and exceptive secretaries of Colored Associations the election of Mr. Tobias as his successor Dr. Moorland said: "Mr. Tobias has had wonderful sucour work to which he has given a maces as a leader in the department of jor part of his time. He has won for himself the highest regard and respect of the International Committee and its secretaries. He has had wide experience and many contacts with national bodies, both white and colored. He has maintained a high standard with Southern leaders, has never sacrificed principle, and has always acted with the best interests of our group in mind. He is well known to practically all of our brotherhood, and I am most happy to coramend him to you. "I trust you will give Mr. Tobias that cordial cooperation that you have always given to me. I leave with the deepest gratitude in my heart for the privilege which has been mine of serving with the splendid men who have been in the leadership of this great movement." Dr. Moorland expressed the view that the future of the Colored Men's Department was never more promising. There are today approximately 150 Associations for colored men and boys with a membership approaching 30,000. The sub-committee of the International Committee for Colored Men's Department of the International Committee is composed of Maj. R. R. Moton, Tuskegee Institute, chairman; Bishop Robert E. Jones, New Orleans, F. B. Ranson, Indianapolis; Dr. Frank K. Sanders, William Jay Schieffelin, William E. Speers, W. F. Trotman, New York; and Lucien T. Warner, Bridgeport, Conn. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19, 1923 NegroMigrants toMexico Fail to Take Proper Papers With Them The Department of Interior has not given instructions to its Migration Inspectors an dAgents to restrict the entrance of North American citizens of the Negro race who intend to return to their homes located in Mexico, but rather when they have presented concrete cases of this intention they have been permitted passage to National Territory. There may be cited as examples: Henry Riley, Fred Sart, Dot Barnel, and J. Douglas and their families. Consequently the dispositions issued by the Department of Interior may be interpreted as absolutely not affecting the North American citizens of the Negro race who are in transit through Territory of Mexico or who are returning to their homes; but it is logical to assume that foreigners will be obliged to furnish the requisites specified by the laws, regulations and other dispositions on immigration and to exhibit to the Mexican authorities those documents which prove their statements. In some cases it has happened that the documents of these foreigners, who have intended to enter the country, have not been accepted on account of being incomplete or deficient; and the fault for this is due exclusively to those interested and not to the authorities of Mexico. With respect to the dispositions issued over the general prohibition of immigration, Mexico, like all the nations of the world, and based upon Article 3 of the Immigration Law, which permits it to prohibit the entrance into the country of individuals who come o it to become charges upon society, gave instructions for the entrance not to be permitted to destitute day-laborers who come o cause disastrous competition with Mexican laborers; and on many occasions, the individuals of the Negro race who have intended to immigrate have been found to be precisely in this situation in a great number of cases, that is to say that they would constitute a real charge upon Mexican society in case their entrance were permitted; therefore the Migration Inspectors have worked with all energy in this matter. Immigrants, and particularly Negroes, perhaps on account of their limited knowledge concerning the Immigration laws, neglect, in most cases, to exhibit those proofs of citizenship and nationality and the other documents required, for example: that which pertains to the proof of the fact that they are colonists and have concluded contracts over the matter an dover permission for entrering the country; those relative to proof that they actually have previously established their homes in Mexico, and that it is true they are returning to them. There are cases in which individuals who intend to immigrate claim relationship with families residing in the country, a relationship which is not supported by any fact and, therefore, which cannot be taken into consideration for permitting entrance, unless it is arranged upon other grounds. As is observed, the intention of the Government is not to restrict the immigration of safe and indulgent elements and those who are not going to become a charge upon society; but to free itself from the imposition of undesirable element and those who do not produce the requisites required by our laws. From the above considerations, it is to be inferred that Mexico rests upon the necessity of applying definite restrictions upon immigration, but it is certain that these are not going to be directed against one particular race or nationality, but that they have been adopted through being absolutely necessary for the protection and conservation of its internal order. Presenting the singularly specious argument that Chicago cannot afford to rob the South, which is its best mercantile customer, of its labor, the Chicago Journal of Commerce declares that it is opposed to migration of southern Negroes to that city. Commencing the heroism of Lieutenant Henry H. Roger, a tablet has been placed in the stadium of the University of Illinois, with fitting ceremonies. Boger was a mullumnus of that institution, a teacher at Tuskegee, and was killed in France on the day the Armistice was signed. ENTERTAINERS CLUB will give a Carnival at Metropolitan Hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 18, 19, and 20. Special admission for Ladies on Thursday night. Teachers' Association will be in session that week. H. O. EVANS, Chairman. MY HEART IS INDICTING A GOOD THING J. E. Mason The way of some of our preachers is hard to understand. If they can get a church up north, they go there and feel out the waters and then send their resignation back south. If they can not get a church up north they tell the Negroes to stay south as there is nothing up there for them. The truth of the matter is, they have the Negro's success up north on their ability to get a church. Grand Master Delancy was in the city a few days ago and stated that the U. B. P. and S. M. Ts are in a prosperous condition. The Grand lodge was forced to unhorse some of the high officers who seemed to think the order was set aside for them to exert a living. There are good signs for improvement since certain changes have been made. We shall do all we can to make this lodge a success and give the Grand Master out aid in every way to the end this grand organization will be able to make good. Who's business is it if the Negro designed to go north, there has been too much of the shoofish, meddling and cowardly dictating into the migration of the Negroes. The South has admitted her inability to give us a square deal. They will ride in blood up to their saddle skirts before they are willing to see the spirit of the 15th Amendment put in operation. We are not going to be hoodwinked into staying by the building of a few high schools and the painting of the rural shacks. We want the bailot given us and we don't need cheap favors or pretended kindness. They are willin gto give every thing but the thing we really stand in need of. Money, education, land, politeness and all the many virtues that should appeal to a Christian people are nothing without the bailot. There can be no mulatto leadership it is just as impossible for a mulatto to make a true and trusty leader as there would be for a mule to preside over a stable of race horses. We have allowed our foolish sympathy to get mixed up with psychology and metaphysics. A mulatto has all the vice of their parentage and the vulture of neither, if either had a virtue. Hurry this way, Rev. H. T. Johnson, with your financial glue; your idol has fallen again. Bring also your best ink eraser. It is very hard, hey, to make a race horse out of a Jack-nass. The stuff is not just there and you will never make him stand up. Lost! lost! lost! The Populace of "No Man's Land," some time referred to as Tulsa, sent a big delegation over to the Annual sermon of the Wisemen. They confessed they did not have the mental backbone to cope with people of a more advanced civilization. Proof of this was followed up when our boys last Thursday defeated Tulsa a game of football. Fools always rush in where wise men dare to tread. Sol Jones, is trying to pull off a big state convention over at Tulsa. Just why he selected this place for a Baptist Convention is rather puzzling. It may be the foxy old churchman is trying to redeem Nineveh by example. If he can make a moral dent on that cesspool he is indeed a myracle man. Growth of school enrollment in Chicago, to which southern migration contributed, has caused 50,000 pupils to attend school on half-day shifts. After complaining to Court that Ben Arnold Hill's cattle continually ate up his crop, Aberry Jackson, a colored man, was shot to death at Macon, Ga., by Hill, who is white. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. PRICE FIVE CENTS, $1.50 PER YEAR N.A.A.C.P. Campaign to Free 24th Infantry Now Under Way New York, October.—A national campion to free the 51 members of the 21th infantry still imprisoned in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary for their share in the Houston, Texas, riot of 1917, is in full swing, according to announcement by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 5th Ave. The steps already taken in the campaign by the N. A. A. C. P. or cas follows: 1. A personal letter has been written to each of the colored newspaper editors asking for their co-operation an dminu of the most influential editors have replied expressing cordial approval an dwelling to help. 2. Mats of a model petition have been prepared by the N. A. A. C. P. and are being widely distributed, among newspapers and elsewhere. 3. Churches, lodges, civic organizations and fraternal bodies, as well as branches of the N. A. A. C. P. have been asked to print copies of the petition and circulate it among their members and friends. Branches are also sending in names of all colored ministers and friendly white ministers, heads of lodges, clubs and women's organizations. 4. Letters to the Bishops of the various branches of the Methodist Church and to the heads of the Baptist Church asked them to enlist the support of their churches and ministers. A similar letter has gone to the heads of fraternal order. 5. On September 29th, an open letter to the Christian Minister of America was released through the colored press asking that Sunday, November 11th, be set aside as Houston Martyrs' Day. The N. A. A. C. P. confidently hopes that it will be able to place a petition signed by 1000,000 names in the hands of President Coolidge asking for executive clemency for the 54 men in Leavenworth. DUNBAR'S NON-DIALECT POEMS In all of his dialect poems Dunbar but wrought with the glamorous imaginations and emotions of his people, and to one who knows anything of that people, it becomes difficult to separate the intrinsic charm of the poems from their purely racial appeal. Of course, that is their surest compliment, but in his non-dialect poems the poet challenges criticism alone an dumadied. It is surprising (but why surprising,) to find how beautiful some of these poems are. Not all of them. Many of them but too clearly echo—both in cadence and inspiration—one after another of the "great society." Here—one sense the influence of Shelly, there of Swinburne or Worlworth. But what does this say but that the artist was a "young" artist, and not yet entered into his estate? Very youthful, too, in his submission to the influence of didactic allegory. The original and purely conceived poem remain. Their execution is very deft, their metrical quality warm and faultless, their thought mournfully, delicately patterned, like petaled shadows thrown upon a shoji screen by moonlight. An old, impassioned sadness flows through them. Nor they without bitterness, but is bitterness that has been worn smooth by fate. The love poems are humble, chastened, sincere. They have limbidity and fragrance. As is ever true of the love lyric, they take their beauty not from innovation of though, but from realmof emotion. They possess, too, that deceptive simplicity that stands the wear of repeated reading. Very tenious and lovely is one of these, beginning: "Dream on, forr dreams are sweet; ...Do not awaken; Dream on, and at thy feet, Pomchranates shall be shaken." A finer imaginative quality and deeper motion are revealed in another poem, into which is woven the added flavor of time. A wind the northeland lacks and ne'en shall blow. With clasped hands and spirits all aglow. "The robin sounds a beggar's note," is quain and felicitous, as it descends Attendanre Double In Northern Schools Washington.—The aggregate number of colored children 7 to 20 years of age, attending school has almost doubled in Northern and border cities into while hSouthern migrants have been steadily flowing during the last few years. Philadelphia has the distinction of having the greater number of these children in schools than any other city in the United States. Distinguishing locations, the percentage of school attendance in all cities having 10,000 or more colored children of this age group, is the greatest in Washington, which is closely followed in the order named by Philadelphia, Chicago, Birmingham, Baltimore, New Orleans and New York. NEW YORK'S RESERVES OF WINSOME WIDOWS Ne wYork.-The city of New York has 10,238 colored widows and ranks in first place in this respect among other cities of the country. Washington brings up an ambitious second with 9,051, and is followed in order named by Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Memphis, St. Louis, and Birmingham. TOBACCO FARMERS ASK RECOGNITION Baltimore, Md.—Representation upon the board of directors of the Tobacco Growers' Association has been asked for by colored farmers of Southern Maryland, who grow and market most of the tobacco produced in the State. It is believed that this representation is needed to insure the protection in the grading and price they have no voice at present time.

A WHITE MAN ON THE COPTEY-VILLE SCHOOL OUTRAGE Editor Plaindealer: In your paper dated September 21, you published this article: "Colored People of Coffeyville Standing up for their Constitutional Rights in Kansas" I read the article and enjoyed it very much. Nothing but the best of good wishes and luck to those who bravely fight for their rights. The article clearly showed how some Christians who say Christ died for all, and think Mexicans are better than colored people. The truth is, they are not. Man is equal regardless of race, creed or color. We all have our faults, our good points and desires. The constitution of the United States is a wonderful piece of law, but where the trouble is, having a good constitution and living up to it is two different stories. By the mere fact of not living up to our rgreat and just constitution is where our prisons, poverty, and so-called crimes come from. I was born below the Mason and Dixon line, and I know the conditions of the colored race. I also know the teachings of K. K. K. They teach division and that is ignorance. Where if they would teach unity, all men are bor negal, that is wisdom. Perhaps you wonder why I, a white man, have written to you. My season is this: We are brothers, regardless of our color. Nature gave us a different color, but we are all human. The time is coming and it is not long, when race and color is only history. There will be but one race and that is the human race. Wishing you the best of success, I extend my hand in friendship and will work for the equality of all races. I remain sincerely, JIEAME MANATTI JAISLIP. P. O. Box 37112(?) San Quentin, Calif.

COVETOUS SPIRIT No other prompting within the human breast is quite so mild chievous or tantalizing to the tranquility of the mind as the world coveting of thing beyond our reach and means. Its effect is seldom productive of anti-factory pleasure. And no other motion is so unproductive of results, except of the kind that divents us of our sunny disposition, which we stand and deliver with out a word of protest. An old phrase of the covetous spirit is that it generally sets its affections on objects of no substantial worth. The fine, ennobling things which develop strength of character are often overlooked in the exciting chase for the ephemeral, which grows hotter as the pursuit is continued. Friendship is ruthlessly brushed aside. Hearts are broken. Reason loves its balance in an excitation of feeling. Talents are neglected or wrapped in a napkin and hidden. As the tide of years sweeps us on, we become impelled by a sort of fancyism whose power we are unable to resist. Daily we sink a little lower from an existence of independence to a state of mere servitude, controlled in every thought and act by fervent spirit of covetousness. It is a natural inclination which manifests itself when, as children, we covet the toys of our playmates. But that is not all. It sometimes compels us to appropriate the playthings and impudently to claim them as our own. Having grown up in such an atmosphere we cannot at once escape its mia-mal influence, though the most of us finally succeed in doing so. There are some humans, however, in whose blood the fever never quite subsides, causing them intense suffering at their lives. They prefer to covet gorgeous peaids and gowns, or great estates and yachts, each according to one's sex and particular fancy. There's a sort of morbid pleasure in imagined ownership in which even the avowed indifferent like slyly to indulge.

We are proud to note that this delegation was of the best type of people from any State and were a credit to any community. The Latin-English demonstration by Rev.

Baltimore scientists claim to have discovered that flappers of the brunette type are knock-kneed, while those of the red-headed variety are bow-legged. Variegated types among colored ingenues, drifting from blonde to bronze, dispute the findings of the scientists as inconclusive and il-legal. In the campaign against hoochvenders in New York, The Age, of that city, says reports are current that "hooch places have succeeded by various ceans among certain ministers" in creating a feeling of pass- 1 live forbearance, which prevents active opposition to their bootlegging operations. Reports from Cleveland, Ohio, say that city is a splendid field for a saving and loan company properly conducted by our people. There are more than 40,000 Negroes there and all are working.

By the time it is ready for delivery the pastor, Rev. J. R. Ramsom, and members of the church hope to have raised funds sufficient to pay for it. To that end, voluntary contributions are being solicited. Anyone wishing to contribute to this noble cause, will please communicate with Rev. J. R. Ramsom, the pastor, 511 West Servieth street, or phone 26558 A recognition of the fact that all things belong to God. Weak and dependent as man is, he somehow has gotten the idea in his head that he is owner of the things in his possession. He says, my money, my property, my talents, my time and my life. Acting upon that presumption he uses his money, his property, his talents, his time and his life just as though God had no claim on them. Therefore Christianity lags, man suffers and Jesus, our Saviour, continues "a man of sorrows and acquainted with frief." The Lord's weeping over Jerusalem was indicated of more than present sorrows. It was prophetic of His continued grief over a rebellious world. Brother, sister, how long are we going to be guilty of the sin of consciousness? For do you not know when you refuse to lay your money, your property, your talents, your time and your life on the altar of sacrifice to Him, you are a victim of covinence? A recognition of the necessity of working with others for God. Big and helpful things are started by individuals but they are carried through to success by a combination of interest and efforts. Business enterprises combine and make bigger business. Churches and clubs federate and put over large and more effectual programs. The best team work determines the winner in the eball game. So does working with others for God bring greater results in kingdom building. How the church suffers when members fail to work together! The community that is dead or non-progressive is the victim of too much individuality. Places where race friction is at its worst are those where the two races fail to cooperate for mutual welfare. The greatest work the white man and black man in America can do together for God is to unite on a program of brotherhood. AGENTS: TAKE ORDERS FOR VERSIBLE COATS.

It is also the law of the spirit. Just as complying with the laws of natural growth will assure physical development, so will compliance with the laws of spiritual growth guarantee spiritual development. Time is an element in both physical and spiritual growth. It takes time to grow from infancy to maturity. Time is also required to grow from babes in Christ to the fullness of the stature of manhood in Him. CORNS, Callouses and Bunion's, Sweaty Feet. A cure guaranteed. See Dr. J. H.
