COLORED MEN NOT RUSHING TO WHITE UNIONS General Feeling That Heretofore Bitter Enemy Of Negro Tradesmen Has An Ulterior Motive In Opening Its Doors At This Time. Colored Workers In Demand. ALIENS ARE LEAVING COUNTRY Alarming Exodus From Steel And Mining Districts. Labor Question Becomes Acute In This Country. Negroes From The South Will Be Called Upon To Fill The Vacanceis. Own Union Advocated. The recent Atlantic City Meeting of the American Federation of Labor, at which the "hand of fellowship" was offered the Colored man, has not caused tradesmen of the race to jump pell-mell into the union band wagon. In fact it seems to have produced a reverse effect. The Negroes realize that they have become an important part of the working class in industrial sections. The Unions have, in the past, obstinately refused to admit them to membership or else placed them in auxiliary locals without direct representation. They cannot believe that this sudden change of heart is not backed by some ulterior motive. It is significant that, following on the heels of the unionists' declaration, it is reported that thousands of Italians, Russians, Czechs, Poles and other Slavic peoples are leaving this country as fast as passports can be arranged. They are deserting the coal and steel districts principally. The Negroes must be called upon to fill the vacancies and therefore become an important factor in a very acute situation.

DI. Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15.—From Government Legislature it is assured that the Colored labor of the South will be called upon to supply the vacancies in the North and West caused by the large exodus of alms expected within the next few weeks. It is estimated that from one million and a quarter of Italians, Poles, Russians, Rumanians, Slovaks, Greeks etc. will return to their native climes upon the signing of the peace treaty all of whom are expected upon a careful survey of their holdings to take approximately $3,000 a piece back with them. The Bureau of Investigation and Inspection Service in the department of Labor estimates that the exodus will be the largest from the steel and coal mining districts. As to the employment of Southern Negro labor to take the places of the returning aliens, Ethelbert Stewart, of the Department of Labor, estimates that this will be done from the Negro colonies of the South despite various state and local laws against recruiting labor in Southern states. NEW YORK, July 17.—The following appeared editorially in the New York Call, one of the great dailies of this city. It is regarded, as one of the worst editorials, ever made in America by a daily newspaper: "If the Negroes in the slave states should attempt to resist the french violence and cruelty of their oppressors by violence and cruelty it would be like gambling with a gambler to put him out of business. It is of no use to tell the Negro that his remedy is in the ballot-box. He cannot vote. If of the Negroes were in one big union, and 100 per cent organized, and would not do another tap of work unless upon a guarantee of decent treatment, the whole of the idle, do-less, shifftless, incompetent South would be at their mercy. Put that idea into the mind of every Negro that you insist." Union Turned Down In Ohio. DAYTON, Ohio, July 16—Plans seeking to interest the Colored working class of Dayton with alleged labor organizations, which are not only sanctioned by the recognized labor unions of the country, but which has met the desisfavor of the State municipal and federal authorities, are about to be undertaken here, it was learned yesterday. It is given the movement is the outcome of record meetings where it was content led by a certain class of Colored people that they were not receiving all of the principles to which they were entitle. A historian of reorganized so-called labor unions more overturned in Colored men who claimed to voice the sentiment of the Race that they become afflicted with their organizations, as the most effective way to achieve the recognition they sought, both as to working conditions, wage scale and other variables. This proposition it has been learned, was turned down fairly by representative Colored men, who told the signature that they did not propose to either recognize or become associated with an element that sought to accomplish ends by the means they advocated, and that they had neither in common. The St. Louis Argus Associated Negro Press OHIOGO, IL, July 17.—Out of all the unavoidable expressions relative to the actions of the American Federation of Labor in opening its doors to the colored laboring men, there has come one discordant note. Possibly a few of the newspapers think that but a scare for the future, but the Tampa, Fl., Times is very uneasy over the consequences. A note from the Times is so discordant that it becomes a real scretch when it says: "Ever since the dark days of reconstruction, white supremacy has been one of the cardinal points of belief with the southern white people. They are not ready to give up that belief now nor ever will be. The admission of Negro delegates in the first step toward breaking down the barrier which the whites have reared with so much care and patience since the civil war. If not protected promptly and vigorously, the color line itself will eventually be eliminated altogether, and woe be unto the south when that time comes." This is contradicted by expression from the Cadiz, Ky., informer, which says: "There should always exist a cordial relation between the white and colored races. One of the surest and best ways of securing it: one law and one application and one enforcement of that law. Equal civil and political equality between the two races. Exclusive privileges to none. Give everyone a square, honest deal. An equal opportunity to acquire a livelihood." Railroad Men Claim Organization of 60,000. AUGUSTA Ga. July 16.—The Colored railroad men of the city have organized a local of the International Railroad Men's Benevolent Industrial Alliage Association, the Augusta Local Coal. No. 72. It has nearly 196 members, although only a month old. The international association has 196 members in Chicago, and has branches in scores of the leading cities of the United States, North and South.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People Storm Members of Congress With Literature Based on Principle of "Self-Determination" As Advocated At Versailles and Paris. By Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16. Literature touring in on members of Congress demonstrates the existence of the well organized movement among the Colored people of the South and the application of the theory o self-determination" to them selves. The movement is creating uneasiness among Southern senators and members of the House, who realize the participation in the war by the Colored men and the adoption of the suffrage amendment will make it more difficult than before to deny the ballet to the Colored element of our population. In addition to that the 1920 census is coming with the consequent appointment, and it is realize that the South may have to show why its representation should not be based on voting strength rather than on population, so far as representatives in Congress are concerned. The Negro propaganda is being worked through the various church organizations and the newspapers are giving it wide publicity. The claim is that since the principle of "self-determination" has been adopted as the fundamental element of the peace treaty they can see no reason why it should not apply in Alabama, as well as in Czecho-Slovakia. They claim they bore their share in the fighting and should not be denied participation in the affairs as a result. In a dition to the letters which they are now pouring in on members of Congress, especially those from the North, they will it is understood petition the President for interference in their behalf in support of the theory of "self-determination" which he has advocated at Versailles and Paris. The situation is recarded as extremely embarrassing to the Southern members, who have been compelled to accept, woman suffrage, which they favored in its possible results on the ballot situation in the South, and are now being urged by the administration to support a peace treaty which the Colored people are asking as their argument for the right to vote.

W. Brooks and Sherman Sabon, New Orleans; P. A. Pavis and John Andrews, of Alexandria William Wallace and M. L.

These veteran soldiers claim that they applied for admission to the convention, but were flatly refused. T. 8. Walmaley, white temporary chairman, declared that colored men could not be granted charter from the state convention. This attitude is altogether out of harmony with the principles of the American Legion, and every effort will be made to fight the matter to a bitter end. HENRY A. BOYD VISITS CHICAGO CHICAGO, Ill.

BORAH OPPOSES FEDERAL CONTROL OF VOTING RIGHT BORAH OPPOSES FEDERAL CONTROL OF VOTING RIGHT By Associated Negro Press MACON, GA. July 17—In his speech opposing taking the control of the franchise from the States and placing it under Federal supervision Senator Borah bad this to say on the Negro feature of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment: "To be entirely frank, I do not think we ought to force this situation. I believe that the wiser and better solution of the Race question runs along different lines. I certainly want to see the Negro secure justice, but I realize, and every man realizes that you cannot force Colored rule upon the South. It will bring renewed racial warfare, which in the end will be vastly more injurious to the Colored Race than to the white race, and heaven knows it would be bad enough for either. I think it definitely better that we leave the situation to be dealt with through the several States than to undertake to force a rule which is not acceptable. I round the Race question as the Nemesis of American life. I sympathize deeply with the people whom falls most heavily the burden of solving it. Sphite like inscrutable and intractable it intrudes itself at every national feast and jubilee. There is no phase of national life to outlook but is colored by the sinister shadow of this problem. We of the North can afford to take counsel upon this matter. We can afford to listen to the requests of our Southern friends. We ourselves are not without fault. As I have just said, look at East St. Louis, within the grand old Common wealth whose soil, holds the sacred ashes of the emancipator the man who gave the Negro his freedom. Talk about enfranchising 3,000,000 Negro women of widening the political power of the Negro of the Negro of the South when we massacre him, shoot him down like a dog, burn him as we would than mate ribbons merely because he an ensir in our midst as a lahurer. We will not even endure him as a competitor in the field of industry. Let us see if we cannot first do justice to this war of ours, this Race is among us by no violation of his own, this Race which sheds its blood for the Republic when the Republic is in peril. Let us, I say, first do justice to the Negro in the 'n the industrial world that, he may educate and train his child for the duties of citizenship, than we shall be much nearer a final solution on of the Race question."

MUCH INTEREST IS SHOWN IN N.A.A.C.P MEMBERSHIP DRIVE All Saints Holds Service In Supplication for Welfare of the Race, Speakers Also Visit Met. Zion, Pleasant Green and Lane Tabernacle. The drive of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People for members is progressing nicely, according to the statement made by Chairman Vaughn of the Executive Committee People all over the city are enthusiastically discussing the proposition and bundreds of workers are securing the membership. Last Sunday morning Father Clark, of All Saints Episcopal Church, gave over his sermon time at the 11 o'clock service to Lieu Vaught to address his congregation in regard to the membership drive of the local branch. The entire service was in supplication for the welfare of the race Lieu Vaught showed how the Southern whites had an organized method of spreading propaganda on the race question by getting Southern men into the schools and on newspapers in the North and by lecturing and addressing meetings. He stated this propaganda had soothed the conscience of the people of the North until they were willing a few years ago to let the South deal with the Negro question, very much to the disadvantage of the Negro, but that conditions brought about by the war have caused the question to be come again a national question. The Negro must have some organized machinery with which to offset this propaganda against himself. That machine (Continued on Page 8.) BANK PLANNED FOR ST. LOUIS R. W.

PRICE 5 CENTS PROTECTION WAS REFUSED THE NEGROES AT LONGVIEW Whites Resent Publication Of Facts In Murder Outrage. Assault Accused Reporter, And Start Riot. COLORED MEN DEFEND SELVES Forced To Fire On Mob To Protect Lives And Property. Several Whites Are Reported Killed. Martial Law Is Declared. DALLAS, Tex. July 17. Ten white men are reported to have been shot by Negroes in Longview. Thursday night, July 10, when a mob attempted to break in the home of S. L. Jones, a school teacher. The rioters withdraw, but early the next morning returned to the district and burned six dwellings and two halls owned by the Colored people. Trouble Started Three Weeks Ago. The inception of the Longview race trouble was about three weeks ago, when Lommel Walters, a Negro, was arrested for being in a white woman's room at Kligore. It was claimed that the woman was arranging to flee with him to the North. His body was found near the railroad track the next day, he having been shot to death. The truth was suppressed by the papers at the time, but a story of the affair reached the Chicago Defender and was published. The story ran that "Walters was lynched when a prominent white woman declared she loved him and that if she were in the North, she would get a divorce and marry him." There was much objection, on the part of the whites to the facts getting out and they were bitter against Jones, who is said to be an agent for the paper. He denied that he had written it, but Thursday afternoon he was shot at and then beaten very severely on the streets of Longview by two white men, who are said to have come from Kligore. Jones was taken in charge by C. P. Davis a Colored physician of Longview who dressed his wounds and then carried Jones to his (Davis)' home. Early that night crowds began to gather on the Longview streets Dr. Davis went before a special session of the city council to beg protection for the colored people but could get no assurance. He was advised to leave town with Jones. As the mob began to threaten violence, the Negroes armed themselves, fifteen or sixteen with Winchester, and got around Jones' home. Shortly after midnight the whites appeared and attempted to break into the house. The Colored men then opened fire for about half an hour at intervals. It is said that several of the whites were killed but there were no known casualties among the Colored, all of whom have left town. Late reports are that Mr. Burch, father in law of Jones, has been shot, and killed. SEVENTEEN WHITES ARRESTED LONGVIEW Tex. July 15, eleventeen white men have been arrested on charges of "assault with intent to murder" in connection with the race disturbance here last Thursday. Night They are out on bunda of $1,000 each Four Negroes have also been arrested and taken out of town for safety. Martial law was declared and several hundred state guardsmen sent here to preserve order. It is not believed there will be any further trouble. ANOTHER RIOT IN TEXAS. PORT ARTHUR. Tex. July 14- Clarence Paxton and J H Perris, a Negro, are in hospital seriously injured and several other persons are less seriously hurt as a result of a clash here today between about 20 white men and about 40 Negroes. The trouble started on a street car, when a white man objected to a Negro smoking in the presence of a woman passenger, according to the police. COLORED WOMAN GIVES $10,000 FOR FREEDMEN'S WORK NEW YORK, July 17 - A Colored woman's remarkable gift to the people of her race in the United States is reported by Dr J. M. Gaston, chief executive of the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen. The woman, said Dr. Gaston, is a graduate of Sigma Seminary, a Presbyterian school in North Carolina. Left a widow on her own resources, she courageously opened a room house in an Ohio city and accumulated $15,000. Of this she has set aside $1000 for business capital and the remaining $10,000 she has presented to the Freedmen's Work of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. A in order, as she said, "More girls may give the same choice I had."

By Associated Negro Press CHICAGO. July 10 — The birthday anniversary of Paul Laurence Dunbar was memorialized in a great gathering at St. Marks Methodist Episcopal church, Sunday, at which time Clarence S. Darrow, white, one of the greatest lawyers in America, delivered the principal address. Julius Avendolph was director and chairman of the meeting. Mr. Darrow said that Dunbar was one of the world's greatest poets, and that color prejudice is all myth. Paul Lawrence Dumbar, the Negro poet who won a place in American Literature, son of a former Kentucky slave and of pure African blood, was born on June 27, 1872, in Dayton, O. He was educated in the public schools there, and in 1891 was graduated from the high school. He began work as an elevator boy and later went to New York City, where he found and doyment as a newspaper writer and contributor to perioicals. Dumbar later appeared in public as a reader of his poems, which in 1888 were published in a volume entitled "Oak and Ivy." His 18 volume of "Lyrice in Lowly Lifa" published in 1896, called general attention to his work, and received commendation. from W. D. G. Howells and James Lane Allen. He wrote partly in Negro dialect and partly in conventional English, and was considered to have expressed the sentiment of his Race very faithfully and in melodious form. He published several novels including "The Sport of the Gods." Other volumes of verse than those mentioned were "Poems of Cabin and Field" "Candle-Lightin Time" and "Howdy, Honey, Howdy." In 1897 Dunbar was appointed to position in the Library of Congress, which he filled for several years, but, contracting tuberculosis, he returned to Dayton, where he died in 1906.

LQUIS ARGUS PUBLISHING CO. Entered on second-class matter April 5, 1912 at the Post Office at flight Louis Missouri, under the act of March 4, 1910. The prohibition question has reached an acute stage in the Congress of the United States, as indicated by the desperately hysterical struggle of the anti-prohibition forces to defeat the measure. Every appeal to reason and imagination has been made such as: "Confiscation of Property," "Personal Liberty," "The Unemployed," and "Unconstitutionality." These arguments have been made, as an appeal to reason, by the best, brain in that great law making body. When reason fails men have learned to appeal to prejudices. The anti-prohibitionists, having failed to convince their opponents by appealing to reason, have resorted to an Appeal to Racial Prejudice. They have threatened the South with "the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution," which enfranchised the Negro. Race prejudice is the last resort, it is the "trump card." This incident furnishes a deal of food for thought. Not that we are so much interested in the question of prohibition, but that we are sincerely interested in the rights of the Negro. It is quite an aspersion on the part of the Congress of the United States to admit that the members of that body are fully aware of the fact that disfranchisement of the Negroes in the South is in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. It is to the everlasting shame and condemnation of the men, who have sworn to support and uphold the Constitution of the United States, that they admit that they are using their high offices to barter the rights of millions of their fellow beings and citizens, for their selfish ends. In the days of human slavery in this country, it was lawful to barter and sell human beings, but in this enlightened day the members of the highest law-making body of the nation is counting the rights of millions of its fellow beings as so much stock-in-trade to further their own selfish ends. There is much cause for anxiety and unrest on the part of millions of American Citizens. The Negro has been the last to complain. He has been shut out of the councils where the truth is heard, but thank God that truth, here and there, gets a hearing. We see more and more that camouflage and insincerity have been the roles played by our so-called friends; that the rights of the masses are betrayed by those whom they have trusted. Republicans; as well as Democrats, have been false to their trust. A new leadership seems to be the only hope for the future. WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE N. A. A. C. P.

We see more and more that came the roles played by our so-called masses are betrayed by those who can, as well as Democrats, A new leadership seems to be the WHY YOU SHOULD J About 15 years ago we first came to hear of such men as Tillman, Vardiman, Graves and others, of their ilk, keeping the lecture platform of Northern Chaulaques circuits. Their numbers increased rapidly until every summer, saw large numbers of Southerners giving the Southern viewpoint on radical questions to Northern audiences. These speakers pleaded with the North to leave the South to deal with the Negro question, saying that the Southern man understood the Negro better than anybody else. So infistent were they that the Northern consciences were soothed and the Southerners were getting their way about the matter, much to the detriment of the black man. The awful slaughter in East St. Louis is directly traceable to a combination of the forces of Southern propagandists and dishonest officials who had combined to frighten Negroes away from the North. There is little doubt that the bombing of houses in Chicago, and the troubles which Negroes have had in other places has been due; in a large measure to the grounding of propaganda and race hatred of Southerners. In the face of the facts the Negro must have a bit of machinery, well organized, and managed, with which to combat this systematic spread of propaganda. That machinery in the National Association for the Development of the Colored People, organized ten years ago with three persons, which now numbers more than 100 members and is without doubt the greatest agency in offsetting the falsehoods which have been told about the Negro, and in encouraging for him his rights and a major part in American life. Those who read the Sunday papers method the news item that two men, twin brothers, had been appointed to the faculty in Washington University, of this city, with the statement that both were born in Georgia. The appointment of Southerners as instructors and professors in colleges and universities in the Border states and in the North is not a new thing. The custom has been increasing each year during the last ten years. The same thing is true in the newspaper field, until now nearly every newspaper in the North has one or more Southerners connected with its editorial department. Things things did not come about by chance. They were the dis- The Pet Public Opinion Culled By FORGING AHEAD In the midst of the general social matter, it is gratifying to note thre many good things have been said in recent months in behalf of "Justice." The subjects touched have been many and varied, but for the most part come under the heads of Patrician, Valor of Soldiers, In industrial Opportunity, Lynching and rect result of systematic efforts to spread propaganda on the race question. It won from the Supreme Court of the United States the decisions which declared the Grandfather Clause and the Segregation Ordinance unconstitutional. It is fighting lynching; it is working for better schools for Negroes; for better industrial opportunities for the protection of the Negro in his property and for his right to exercise the franchise in the @rest of himself and his country. It is creating public sentiment in his favor by showing the good things which he is in doing and by contemptifying those falsehoods which are being told about thinking Negro and white men in America, for the support of this association means a better brand of Americanism and a better country with better citizens in it. It is a well known fact that all Negroes are in the same boat, when it comes to discrimination, mob violence and injustice. All must fight together against these evils or all will be overcome by them. As long as a Negro in Mississippi is in Louisiana is in danger of molest violence he can be wrongfully depreded by his vote, or his property with intiminity, the Negro at St. Louis, Chicago, the Negroes are just as unaware. It does not matter whether he drives an old hurt or is the president of a college that is afflicted with the same ill and high danger of the same violence as other Negroes are. It then becomes the duty of the strongest and best men and women in the race to become active members of the association to lend their might and ability in the fight against those outrages. There is no escaping the responsibility. We must either play our parts like men or receive the curse of coming generations. It is either do or die for the Negro and especially for the trained Negro. It is he who must go forward and help his weaker brothers. The motto of all Negroes should be: "I nak not吵非 for myself that any other deceit, self-requesting Negro cannot have for himself; and I am determined to accept nothing for myself that any other deceit, self-requesting American is entitled to." That is what the N. A. A. C. stands for. Now about you! Disfranchisement, Newspapers and public speakers. North, and South, have had very favorable things to say. It is now the unqualified duty of the Races, in every part of the land, to work for the crystallization of these fine sentiments into concrete retty; in other words proceed on the ground they all meant what they said from their hearts out, and not from their heads up. Put it up to them to deliver in concrete form; let the fine words be turned into living deeds, while the time is opportune, and before they forget. Now is the time to forge ahead. The American white people are very proud of their word—if they are properly reminded or do not forget. IN THE ENEMIEG LINES The formation of the Lincoln league of America is a new departure. The white South wishes it thoroughly understood and advertised that in the matter of dealing with the Negro, the ideas shall prevail. Counsel cooperation or advice have been consistently and persistently resented for the most part. On the particular subject of voting, the white South has openly and boastingly defied not only the Negro but the United States government. Thus far it has gotten away with both without any considerable worry or trouble. The strong possibility of Woman's Suffrage being attached to the Constitution of the United States has recently caused trouble, in the event that logic and reason are eliminated in the program—and when it comes, to dealing with the Negro, those two elements have never been punched, as it were. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding, the Lincoln League of America has get out to perform a necessary task in a fundamental, progressive, intelligent, determined and conclusive way. The League is making no threats, but the whites have already done so to a number of the Southern members who have declared themselves. It is to be hoped that the League will not weaken, and that Southern buffonery, so long practiced, will not alarm. The Negro must be appraised the privilege of voting in the South, and the Southern whites—if they are as superior as they claim—should be sports and win or lose on merit. THE SOUTH IS WARNED (Atlanta Constitution) And just as sure as the sun shall rise tomorrow, if the states do not soon abandon their "utterly powerless" attitude towards the curse of mob law the Federal government will step in, assert its authority and prove that IT IS NOT "utterly powerless" to safeguard law and order "CLASS" UNAMERICAN. De Frank Crifee The class business—all of it—lock, stock and barrel—is imported from the Old World. It is not ours. It is unamerican. It is all wrong, septic—and other things not fit to print ROADWAYS OF SCANDAL Scandal flies on wings. The tragedy in the Far West has turned the time-light on Senator Harry New of Indiana. There are several lessons that may be brought out of this affair. One of them is the lesson of "overcoming evil with good". Senator New had his wild and unfortunate days, but he laid them aside and has earnestly devoted his time to the betterment of mankind. Senator New is loved with paternal fondness by the coloured people of Indiana, for he has always been right on the important subjects of Liberty and Justice. CONTACT AND CO-OPERATION. Contact and co-operation with the better class of white people are necessary and desirable in the effort to get a better and more satisfactory understanding between the people of both races. Much of the trouble has been due to the lack of understanding. There can be no common ground of understanding without contact and cooperation. None but very little minds have any fears of efforts in this direction. These are days of big minds and big things. POSTAL EMPLOYES GET SALARY RAISE. The employees of the St. Louis Post Office have received a $160 a-year raise in salary, effective July 1. The men also received $200 extra as a special war grant. All the colored clerks benefited by the raise and a majority of them will receive the maximum salary of $1500 a year. This is the first time in the memory of the oldest employees, that a raise was granted to all without discrimination. Postmaster Selph speaks in high praise of the colored clerks in the office. He cites more than a score of cases of rifting mails, disloyalty and insulting women clerks by the whites but says the colored men have been free from these taints. He also says they are equal to if not superior to others in his charge. It is stated that no negroes are involved in the charges now being made against the postmaster. At least a dozen colored men were added to the force during the fiscal year ending June 30 and it is announced that ten to fifteen will be appointed this month. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NEWS. President Richardson, Re-Elected as Head. Summer School students and teachers united with the town folk in tendering Mr. and Mrs. Richardson an informal reception Friday evening in honor of his re-election to the presidency of our school. The affair was in the nature of a surprise, but marked by the evident spontaneity and sincerity of those present. An impromptu programme was arranged largely on the symposium order and contrary to the usual condition, positions on it were sought, so anxious was each and every one present to add his testimony to Mr. Richardson's fitness for the place. The general subject was: 'Why we are glad Mr. Richardson was re-elected. A program of music and speaking was rendered. The evening ended with the wish, spoken by many and echoed by everyone else present, that many more occasions of a like nature be enjoyed by Mr. Richardson. The Social Service League, of which Mr. Richardson is president, gave a creditable program in the Auditorium Tuesday evening. The league has undertaken the care and conduct of the Old Polks' Home in Jefferson City and the affair of Tuesday was given in order to raise funds for some of the expenses incident to the maintenance. Miss Rhoda Roberta from Hannibal, Mo., was called home Monday because of a death in the family. We extend our sympathy. Miss Anna Gerhardt spent the week end at her home in Franklin Mo. Miss Nellie Nairy attended the A. M. E. District Convention at Hunterville last week and responded to the wel- come address. One of the enjoyable features of Summer School is the out-of-door chapel. The campus is especially favorable for any outside activity and the July weather makes indoor work unpopular. Hence we greatly appreciate the outside devotionals. State Superintendent Baker visited the school last week and favored us with an inspirational speech, the theme of which was "Education Pays." We found much food for thought and discussion in his remarks. Mrs. Richardson and Miss Robinson returned from Columbia, where they attended the State Federation. Mrs. Richardson was a delegate from the Model School Patrons' Club. The Summer School Domestic Science class served an appetizing dinner to the Mayor and Board of Regents Tuesday. F. L. Clark, an alumnus, who has returned from "Y" service in France, addressed the school body Sunday evening. WARNS WHITES ON TREATMENT OF COLORED RACE OMAHA, Neb. July 17. "Let the white race, which has been dominating for hundreds of years, take care lest the black man, once his chattel and his slave, be his supplant and victor," warned Rev Charles W. Savidge, white, in a sermon on "The Children of Ham. What Will. Their Future Be?" at People's Church. Rev. Mr. Savidge traced the progress of the colored race from its origin in Ham. "The Negro was forcibly taken from Africa, his home, in the sixteenth century and enslaved in this country for 250 years. He was mistreated, oppressed, whipped, beaten and in many cases killed. But as a people he survived all this treatment. No other people ever stood such abuse and lived." said Rev. Mr. Savidge. "A generation ago social philosophers prophesied that the Negro would disappear before the onrush of stronger races. Today, however, the advancement of this race in the last fifty years has been the marvel of the world. When Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation there were 4,000,000 colored slaves in this country. Today there are 14,000,000 free Negroes. The black race doubles every forty years the white race every eighty years The white man must look out or the black man will give him a fierce run for his money. The black race is meek. The meek man and the meek race are winners and have divine approval. The Negro has pushed his way in every line of industry. He has just now been admitted into the American Federation of Labor." RACE INTERESTED IN IRISH FIGHT CHICAGO, IL., July 17.—The people of our race throughout the country are watching with unabated interest the progressive visit and tour of Eannon De Vallera, "president of the Irish Republic." The great mass meeting in New York, where President Wilson was hissed by more than 15,000 people and the great outburst of enthusiasm in Chicago, where citizens and public officials gave De Vallera one of the greatest demonstrations ever seen in the city, have placed a new ray of hope in the hearts and minds of the colored people. This sentiment expressed by De Vallera in one of his addresses in the Irish fight for "self determination" could easily be applied to the aspirations of the American colored people: "The Irishmen want their freedom. Freedom to live their own life in their own way, freedom to express their own national individuality in government, trade, art and literature; freedom to raise their own institutions in accord with their own genius, freedom to come out once more into the big world to share in its activity and to act-and to be acted upon and to contribute their quota to human achievement. "Freedom—freedom from the rule of the baton and the bayonet, from the rifle, from machine guns; freedom from police spies and perjurers, from the invasion of their homes without writ or warrant; freedom from murder by British government agents, freedom from invented crimes and imprisonment without trial." It is plain by those in a position to know that England is both disturbed and indignant over the attitude of the American people. As a matter of realization it is expected that English propagandists will very soon begin to show up the American people in their attitude on the race problem and will leave "no stone unturned" to being to their attention the way and manner in which the colored people of the United States are lynched, Jim-crowed and discriminated, against generally. It is plainly seen by students of liberty and justice that it is a case of the "pot calling the skillet 'black,'" that both England and America must entirely change their attitude if the principles unchassed at the Peace Conference are to be anything more than "mere scraps of paper."

Drive (Continued From Page One) ry, the speaker declared, to be the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People. He pointed out the rapidity of its growth and the scope of its work, showing that it had overturned the grandfather cause by a supreme court decision, as well as the segregation ordinance, that it was fighting lynching, poor schools, Jim crowd cars and bad industrial conditions in which the Negroes have been forced to work in the South as well as the opposition made by them in every section of the country in their efforts to earn a living. He stated that the fight of the association was more than a fight for the rights of Negroes but was a fight on the part of the Negro to keep himself in a position to develop the best there is in him, to keep from hatred and bitterness against those who oppress him. He pointed out the duty of those Negroes who have been well trained and have been successful in life, to throw themselves in this fight and into the association and help to combat those working against the Negro. Father Clark hardly endorsed the movement at the close of the service when many persons gave their names to Mrs. H. A. Smith as voluntary workers in the membership campaign. Lieut.

Vaughn in behalf of the association, passed a resolution endorsing the movement pledging themselves and their-congregation to make the drive succeed Two cases of Colored men greatly mistreated and run out of Arkansas by prejudice whites were taken up by the association this week. The names of those individuals cannot be given publicity at this time because it might cause injury to their relatives who are still in the South, but these men, through no fault of their own have been robbed of their money and driven away, flying between suns. As such as possible the details will be made public. There are numerous days and the association hopes to be in position to handle them as soon as they occur. The following is a list of workers Mru, Gara Hild, Mru, William T, Spencer, Mr. William, H.
