St. Louisan Dies at His Home After Useful Life Spent for Race Advancement. Lived Nearly Eighty-Three Years. Was Never a Slave. Held Many Positions Under Federal and Municipal Governments. Captain Chariton H. Tandy died at his home, 1224 Bayard avenue, Monday, September 1, at 10:35 a.m., and will be buried from the First Baptist Church, Cardinal and Bell, Saturday at 1 p. m. Udertaker Gordon will have charge of the remains and the funeral will be under the auspices of the Local Lodge U, B. F., assisted by the Grand Lodge, also the Local Order of Elks. The body will lay in state at the residence until the funeral hour. Was Never a Slave. Captain Tandy was born in Lexington, Ky, December 16, 1836. He would have been 83 years old had he lived until December this year. He was never a slave, his father having purchased his freedom in 1833. Captain Tandy was an incessant and tireless worker for the improvement of his race. This trait was paramount in his life. He was not a profiteer but always worked realously, without thought of personal gain, for that which he considered practical and beneficial. He had fearlessness, strength and the indomitable will power that is exemplified only in real manhood. Was Captain of Guard Company. Captain Tandy held many positions of public trust and was often commissioned by the Federal Government to carry out important movements. In 1868 he was commissioned by Governor Fletcher, captain of Tandy's St. Louis Guard, a branch of the State Militia, and was honored by all with the title until his death. In the late days of the American slave period he was actively identified with the "Underground Slave Traffic" and nearly lost his life in this endeavor. Soon after the Civil War he went to Washington to take a memorial to Congress on the subject of the exodus of colored people from the South. In 1873 he was married to Annie E. Buckner, his second wife, at Louisville. She lives to mourn her loss. Captain Tandy moved to New Mexico to serve as U. S. Land Agent, but obtain his transfer to Oklahoma, where there were more people of his own racial group. He remained there seven years and was commissioned a U. S. Marshal's deputy in 1883. He was admitted to the bar a year later, and practiced in the Supreme and District Courts of Oklahoma Territory. Before going to Oklahoma Captain Tandy performed a service to the colored people of Missouri which will ever remain a monument to his memory. In 1870 he was instrumental in getting the legislature to provide for the education of Negroes, and a year after had a high school established at Jefferson City. This was later made a state institution and is known as Lincoln Institute. In addition to holding, with credit, several important municipal positions, Captain Tand y, served, seventeen years in the St. Louis Post Office. He was a past National Deputy Grand Master of the St. B. F. At the time of his death he held the position of Custodian of Records at the St. Louis Court House. Besides his wife, two children, Mrs. Thomas Porkins and George Tand y, and six grandchildren, bid farewell to a useful and strenuous life. "BLACK MAN WITH GOAT BEARD" Editor of the ST. LOUIS ARGUS:— Along back in the late 1900s, a St. Louis newspaper noted the unusual actions of a "black man with a goat beard." This man was making a practice of mushing colored women into the street cars and then fighting the protesting drivers on the "bob-tails" and both drivers and conductors on the "big cars." He did this so frequently it seemed that he could have no other business. Sometimes he fought with comrades; sometimes alone, but aided or single-handed, he fought daily, and many times daily. And he was arrested many times and Henry T. Blow and other "big" men of St. Louis would ball him out and say his fines and cautions and advise him, with no other result than his return to the street car lines and his battles with car men. Literally his "head was bloody, it unbowed." This "black man with a goat board" taught street car man so hard and so often everybody noticed it and after some hard, honest thinking, Ernest Wills, who owned a car line, and other wealthy man said, "No we wonder the 'black man with a goat board' lights on brake and so often. Why, he is right and the rest of us are wrong", and they revoked old orders and gave new colors and colored women were permitted to color almost cars and all lad like other people and did not have to ride on the platform or car steps; and from the 'black man with a The St. Louis Argus Coming through its service to the Business League in splendid shape the Pine St. Department Y. M. C. A. is now back to its normal stride. Activities are in full blast along all lines. A few intersecting figures will illustrate what the Y has been doing, during the month of August: 1550 persons were served in the Y. cafeteria. 360 men were accommodated in the dormitories. 10,000 men were given baths and swims in the Physical Dept. 156 men were given the personal touch of an interview. 700 different persons visited the Y. during the month. 463 soldiers were given free baths and swims The Y. M. C. A. Secretarial staff has been strengthened by the adding of Mr. Milton Roland, membership and Industrial Secretary. Mr. Roland has for 17 years been in the employ of the government here in St. Louis, having made a splendid record. During this time, he has given largely of his services to the churches and the Association and he has lately dedulcately made up his mind to devote himself to Association work. Mr. Jones, the Executive Secretary, left Thursday of this week on an extended trip through the east to study Association Methods. His trip will take him to a number of the successful Associations, where a study will be made of the particular piece of work in which the Association excels. Mr Jones hopes to be back by the 1st of October when the fall program of the Association will open. Physical Department Notes. The weather is getting cool now and the activities in the Physical Department are on the increase. Many interesting events are in store for the fall and winter. Basket ball men of experience are beginning to turn out for the practices on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights 7:30 to 8:30. Gymnasts are wanted to try out for the "Y. Nym. Team" before the opening of the winter work. All teams are expected to be formed and working by Oct. 31. All men who wish to build themselves up and be fit for the rigors of a cold winter should get into the Gym now. Start now while the work is easy. NEWSPAPERS PLAN LYNCHING REMEDY Bn. Associated Neuroscience By Associated Negro Press. TULSA, OKLA., Sept 4.—Newspapers in some Southern states are advocating a law to stop lynchings and it doubtless would be very effective. The law is one for the removal of all sheriff, in counties, where lynchings take place. This might work a hard-ship on a sheriff, but it would make of them alert/ to prevent lynchings. Under present conditions the sheriff nearly always make a show of resisting a mob, but it is merely resisting and nothing more. The sheriffs usually deliver the victim to the mob without much trouble and not once in a hundred times is any member of a mob hurt by an officer while engaged in taking victims from jail to be lynched. The sheriff knows that the men in the mob are the voters who elected them to office. He may know them personally and recognize them, but he does not consider it his duty to endanger himself or the lives of the men in the mob in an effort to protect the prisoner. An automatic removal law, however, would put a different face upon the matter. If the sheriff would lose his office through permitting prisoners to be lynched the chances are that he would protect them and that there would be no lynchings. Congress cannot enact such a law but the state can and the white race will be the chief beneficiary. under it. The whites are disgraced more by lynchings than are the blacks who are their victims. Such a law would of course, call for the right kind of men being elected to the office of sheriff. The man elected to that office would go in with his eyes open and a full knowledge of the law. Those who elected him would also understand it and the mobs would know what to expect when they went to the jail and demanded of the sheriff that he turn over the keys. The sheriff who tamely submitted, as she lifts do now, would find himself out of office the next day. ST. LOUISISHARE HEAR TALENTED ORATOR Rev. Daniel L. Reed, 1st Lt. Lieut and Chaplain in the U. S. Reserve Corps, also national lecturer and organizer for the National Race Congress, has spoken at several churches in St. Louis during the past week. Rev.

He has agreed, by popular demand, to return to St. Louis in October and will be heard in a number of lectures, including out at Poro College. goat board," whose real name was Charlton H.

Well, this "black man with a goat board" whose name was Charlton H. Tandy layed down and died last Monday; and you who bilthey so along the ways his manhood made pleasing and secure through saeridon, may translate what I write here into these words: Pause, hats off and heads bowed in tribute to his worth to each of you and all of us.

Special Telegram to The Ascensor Kansas City Mo.-On last Tuesday night, in response to a circular letter sent out from the office of Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd of St. Louis, three representatives from each of the different sub-ordinate lodges and Courts of Calathea the assembled at Castle Hall, 13th and Michigan Ave. to form a building committee the purpose of which is to erect a Phythian Temple for the Kansas City fraternity. The circular sent out by the Grand Chancellor was based upon a resolution which was introduced in the Grand Lodge session in July by past Grand Chancellor, James P. Maynard of Kansas City. The resolution emanated from the local lodges and sought the endorsement of the Grand Lodge in their effort to erect a Phythian Temple. The Grand Lodge unanimously endorsed a project and offered to furnish all or all of the funds required. It was upon the action therefore, of the Grand Lodge and the authority which it gave through the enterprise that Grand Chancellor Lloyd, on the 20th of July, sent communication that each of the lodges of Kansas City and the Courts of Calathea, the auxiliary of ladies to the Phythian family, to select three representatives from each body to meet him on Tuesday, September 2. A most pleasing feature of Tuesday night's meeting was he unanimity with which every organization instructed its representatives in work and vote in the affirmative for the move, each lodge pledging itself to do its shares in the raising of funds to promote the building. After all the representatives had expressed their hearty approval, the following permanent officers were elected: L. A. Knox, for the past ten years Grand Attorney, Chairman; P. W. Dabney, one of the best known fraternal men in the state, vice-president; Col. Don H. Rife of Uniforn Rank, secretary; Mrs. Mamle Quick, of the Court of Calanthe, assistant secretary and Thomas N. Grant, whose realty holdings are said equal $100,000, treasurer. These officers, with the committee are to form plans which will be presented to the Endowment Board in October which will hold its meeting in Kansas City for the purpose of looking into the feasibility of the proposal. The Endowment Board represents the insurance department of the Grand Lodge and its sanction will give assurance of ample funds to promote the enterprise. Crittenden E. Clark, grand master of Masons of Missouri and Jurisdiction, was present and made a very encouraging address, as also did grand secretary of relief, of the Masonic Grand Lodge, Wissls G. Moely. Both of these gentlemen are Pythians. It was the unanimous thought of all present that at least $100,000 be raised and that a building not less than four stories with store room, theater, offices and lodge rooms should be erected. WEST INDIA NEGROES ARE SAME AS SLAVES Mr. Associated Negro Press New York, N. Y. Sept. 3—Rothschild Francis, a West. Indian and member of the St. Thomas. (Virgin Islands) Legislature, addressed an audience of about 250 persons at a Negro church at 55 W. 123th street on the subject of the conditions of the Negro, race in the Virgin Islands. The speaker said that conditions were so bad there that the black man was little better than a slave. More than 3,000 Negroes, he said, had left the islands and migrated to this country in the last few years. Mr. Francis said that he had recently appeared before the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate and had discussed the situation with it. He said that he had been promised that a bill would be introduced providing that three Senators and three members of the House of Representatives should be sent to investigate conditions in the islands. Mr. Francis said the inhabitants wanted a reorganization of their judiciary and school systems after the American plan. N. A. A. C. P.

RACE ADJUSTMENT COMMISSION RACE ADJUSTMENT COMMISSION. Is there any problem before the American people more acute than the one of race relationship? Is there any problem that has been more neglected or sidelestepped? Would a commission appointed by the President of the United States, by the authority of Congress, be the fitting thing at this time? These are questions of first importance, and require the most serious consideration. Governor Frank O. Lowden, of the State of Illinois, has appointed an equally divided commission of Colored and White citizens whose business it will be to make an exhaustive study of the trouble that resulted in the Chicago root, and to devise means for friendly Race adjustment. The men composing this commission are known for their integrity, and patriotism, and their work will be matched by many other sections. The problems of race adjustment should be lifted above petty political preference, and should be handled with an eye single to the greatest good to the greatest number, without fear or favor, with thoroughness and determination. The President of the United States should be given the authority to appoint such a commission. Newpapers and Magazines. There was a time when the newspapers and magazines of the Race were regarded as jokes or as a political asset around election times. Conditions have changed. The newspapers and magazines of the Race have become a real factor, not only in economic progress, but as a constant and faithful expression of the feelings and will of the people. Magazines of opinion such as the Literary Digest; daily newspapers of great influence, in every section of the country, and the United States Congress, keep a listening car and a scrutinizing eye turned toward Negro publications. In them, through news, contributed articles, cartoons and editorials, they have learned that we have found ourselves. These facts are further emphasized by the marvelous increase in circulation, and the advertising growth of all publications. Negro journalism is a field of opportunity, second to none in progress and possibilities. Taxation Without — "Taxation without representation," is the slogan that fired the souls of the American Revolutionists, brought about that memorable social event, "The Boston Tea Party," and furnished the means by which Crispus Attucks, Negro, was the first to shed his blood for American liberty and independence. Twelve million of Attucks' kindred now form one tenth of the population of our great nation, a number more than three times the population of the Thirteen Original States in those days. There is a group in this nation that insists on depriving the people of the Negro race from voting, and yet, in the matter of taxation, the Negro is required to pay. The Negro is counted in making up representation for Congress, but he is not allowed to become part of it; he is counted in selecting soldiers to defend the Union, but he is denied the right to say who shall govern him. Those who deny furnish neither alibi nor apology. They do not claim it to be either right or just, they simply say, it is expedient. They protest for Ireland, Poland and Slavs and what note, and keep the hand of expression upon us. They are determined that this method shall continue world without end. They claim it is the only "safe way for the" superior race to keep the "inferior race" down. They regard the constitution of the United States, if not as a nage scrap of paper, certainly, antimily document. Their conscience, like a false face, is put on and taken off at will. They say their way MUST continue. We say, GOD IS JUST NEGRO, ACCUSED OF ATTACK ON WHITE WOMAN, LYNCHED BY MOR LOUISBURG, N. C., Aug. 22—Walter Elliott, a Negro, who is alleged to have attacked z farmers' wife, was shot to death here by a mob, which later carried the body to the scene of the crime and swung it to rree in a county churchyard. The mob took the Negro from Shiriff Kearney two miles from here, while on his way to jail. JERSEYVILLE ILL. — Misses Blanche Smith of Rockford and Connuelo Wilson of Nokomis, were winners of the George Washington Educational Fund, they will be sent to college this fall. The other contestants were: Frances McDaniel of Jacksonville and Juanita Dabney of Normal, Miss Dabney may also be sent to college. The George Washington Educational Fund was left by George Washington, a former slave, who was the property of Dr. Silas Hamilton and who was manumitted by him. Dr. Hamilton purchased him when Washington was a little child, and was found by Dr. Hamilton in Virginia when the latter was making one of his horseback journeys from his plantation in Mississippi, which he was conducting to experiment in the proper treatment of slaves, to his old home in Vermont. The little Colored boy was crying because of the separation from his mother, who had been sold farther south, and Dr. Hamilton bought him for $100, and sent him to the Mississippi plantation. Later Dr. Hamilton brought Washington to Jersey County and he continued to live with Dr. Hamilton's family after he was freed. When he grew to manhood he engaged in farming and accumulated a small fortune. He never married, and at his death, left his money for the benefit of his race, except the sum of $1500 for the erection of a monument to his former master. The rest of the estate which was left in trust for the education of worthy negro students amounted to about $7000; but has grown to more than $20,000 and keeps from four to six students in college. It is distinctly for higher education and does not provide for students until after they have secured a high school education A LETTER TO A FRIEND FROM A FORMER ST. LOUISAN VISITING HERE. Dear Ethel: I have been so busy that I have hardly had time to breathe, much less write, but I am staying in today, so here goes. I have met many of my old St. Louis friends, and we have had auto rides galore, etc. It has been some warm here for the last few days, so I have been staying in until evening, so some of us made up a party to go to the Booker Washington Theatre. We got there about 7.00, in time for the first show. The Davenport Company was the attraction, and they were putting on a Western comedy, called "Cowboy Nell." Girl, I laughed myself almost into convulsions at the funny antics of Willard Davenport, who had a part that was a sort of burlesque on Wm. S. Hart. The singing and dancing was good, and the music fine. This house, you know, is all colored ushers, musicians, stage hands, operators, actors, cashlery, boss and all. I think there must be about 30 people, all colored, employed in this house, and it should be an inspiration to colored people generally to see such a successful place of for and by colored people. I surely wish we had a place like it at home. Well, after the show, we went to "Jazzian," you know it is all the style here now to go to the "Booker," as many call it, and then go to Jazz land, and, Oh Girl! Some place. The front of the building is all white with rich red trimming, and all lighted just like daylight. We paid to get in checked our wraps free, that is the LADIES do free. We were a bit hungry so we decided to eat a bit before we did anything else. We got a table way back in the rear, as the place was packed and jammed. A neat, pretty girl came and took our order. And talk about EATS. I will give you some of the bill. I had a nice, fat, juicy squab, broiled with trimming and a cup of coffee, better than mother used to make. Mr. S—had oyster soup for a starter, followed by a juicy steak, broiled, some French fried potatoes, hot biscuits, etc. Nysle had lobster a la Newberg and Mr P—had an omelette called "Eureka" and from the way he smacked his lips, it must have been great. At a table on our right sat Dr. — and Prof. J—from some college. I don't which one, Lawyer H G P and Mr A—a real estate man. They all seemed to be strong for sea food, only one of them had frog legs. I understand this place gets their sea food directly from Glaspier, Mass, and it surely books good. I also understand that they raise their speeches on the roof of the building; which is a large structure. Well, after eating, I had a "Jasa Punch," Mr. S — had a "Lonesome Pine" Mr. P — had a Gin Rickey (not real金, as they do not serve any intoxicating drifts), and Susie had a "Jazzland Special." The cream and drinks are really delicious. I wish you could try them. Well, after that, Mr. P — bought some dance tickets and we went on the floor for a dance. The dance was called the "Jazzland Schottische" dance by four people or two couples. It was the people here call a "knoobout," meaning "OREAT!" And that dance floored my. Never in all my life have I seen CHICAGO GR. JURY REPORTS ON RIOT Dr. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL. Sept. 3—With愈 sure for the part politics plays in the police department and the indictment of five white men, one of them a poli- ceman, the special grand jury on the recent race riots reported on its work. Two of the men indicted—Frank Biga and Joseph Carka—are charged with the murder of Negroes. Biga is accused of killing Robert Williams at State and Van Buren streets, and Carka with the death of William Dozier in the yard yards. Julius Benventuil. 2901 Federal sreet, a saloonkeeper, and Cash Har- s are accused of conspiracy to bribe and Policeman Edward Mitchell of bribery in connection with the at- tempt to hush up a riot case. The political influence of hoodlums and loafers in the black belt region which saved lawbreakers from proper punishment was blamed for the recent race riots by the jury, which rendered its report to Judge Kavanaugh. The police force for failure to apprehend criminals and the judiciary for failure to punish of fenders brought before them. At the request of the judge and special jurors will continue in session in- definitely. The court asked them to continue to serve until all the cases pending are disposed of because they were the only body of men who were familiar with the situation. The cause of the recent riots, according to the report submitted by the jury, was the steady importation of Colored labor from the South without making any preparation to receive it. The lack of proper living quarters and the crowding of the black belt created a hostility between the whites and the blacks in the district that or needed a spark to start a bitter race war, the jurors said. This spark was furnished by the killing of the Williams boy, a Negro, at the 29th street beach. The remedy suggested by the jurors to prevent a repetition of the riots is the providing of a decent age of the city for the Negro populace and furnishing proper police protection in that section. If such a district was provided the Negroes would "illigitly" seize themselves there and would not mingle with the white race, according to the opinion of the jurors. "The police department is in need of a thorough house cleaning," the report continues. "All officers who heed the command of politicians or who cater to the cheap political bosses of the worst districts of the city should be dismissed immediately. There should be 1,000 new men added to the force as soon as possible, and all old men who are no longer fit for service should be put on the pension roll." Since the riot grand jury was sworn in it has heard 197 cases and returned ninety-seven true bills.

WHITE THUGS STORM JAIL FOR LIQUOR Liberate Sixteen Notorious White Criminals on Pretense of Locking for Colored Suspect. No Colored Prisoners Molested. State National Guardsmen Called. SOLDIERS ASSAULT COLORED CITIZENS Kill One Man, Wound Two Train Porters and Another Who Is Deaf, Dumb and Crippled, Search Women, Using Humiliating Tactics. No Fighting Between the Races. Special Telegram to THE ARCUS. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 3—Condition are back to normal, in this city, following the killing of Mrs. Bertie Lindsay, white, at her home on Eighth avenue, early Saturday morning. Mrs Ora White, the only other person in the home with Mrs Lindsay at the time of the killing, furnished the police officers a description of a colored man, as having committed the murder. Maurice Mayes, a well known character about town was arrested on the clue furnished Sheriff W. T. Cate, fearing mob violence, rushed the prisoner to Chattanooga for safekeeping. MOB STEALS WHISKEY, LICENSEE REMOVER As the news of the murder spread, excitement ran high and a mob of white men began forming early Saturday afternoon. Late in the night the county jail was stormed, by the mob and, although thoroughly convinced that the prisoner accused of having committed the crime was not there, the front of the large brick structure was almost completely demolished. Members of the mob thrilled in over the faller and guards stationed there, who were powerless to do anything; confessed thirts or more gallons of whiskey, that were stored, after having been taken to different raids, and going to the first and second of the jail where many white prisoners were confined, the large iron doors were battered down and the prisoners given their freedom Colored Prismern Not Molested. Colored Prisoners Not Molested. The third flow occupied by Colored prisoners was passed by unnoticed by any Colored prisoner. The looting of every hardware are stored pawn shop and secondhand in the mob. The mob, followed the jail delivery, during which time the arms, watches and other valuables were stolen. Only Clash With Militia. The State Militia, stationed at Camp Saxier and composed of interprienced and prejudiced soldiers were ordered out by unknown parties and patrolled the city during Sunday. The only clash between the races was that between soldiers and a small group of Negroes at the corner of Vine and Central, a point leading into the Colored section. One Colored Man Killed One of the officers commanding the soldiers was killed by Joseph Ettar, a Colored secondhand store proprietor, and Effer in turn was killed by the soldiers. Carl Chambers and Carter Watkins were wounded by soldiers as the two men stepped from a train on which they had been serving as dining car waiters Soldiers Search Women During the day, Sunday the order issued by unknown persons to search all Colored people was carried out and many of the leading members of the race, including women, were greatly humiliated by the tactics employed by prejudiced soldiers, who were strangers in this section. Mayor John E. McMillan came to the relief of the E. McMillan citizens by getting in touch with Governor Roberts and demanding that the soldiers be withdrawn. Frans Pate Colored deaf and dumb man with only one hand, was ordered to bait by a bunch of soldiers, and not obeying the command prompt was shot and seriously wounded. No Race Rioting No fighting between the races has been experienced during the entire affair. No colored men have been lynched, and the report of race rioting having been engaged in is utterly groundless. The object of the mash seemed to have been to release pitiless notorious criminals and to cause in wholesale robbery rather than to cause the death of the woman. Albany Maurice Maye, the accused man is a notorious character, his guilt has not been established. He will get a fair trial. Knoxville has always been noted for the friendly relationship existing between the races, and aside from the conduct of the soldiers who were lured or guard, which caused a protest by Colored citizens, nothing has been done that would interfere the pleasant feeling between the races.

A large crowd of members and friends assembled Sunday morning to greet Pastor Peck upon his return from a two weeks' vacation in Michigan, where he and Mrs. Peck were the guests of the parents of Mrs John W. Evans. The trip proved very beneficial and the doctor returned full of energy and enthusiasm to round up his work for the conference year. The test announcement by the pastor was St. Matthew, baptism 15 and 16 verses. Theme "Salvation Through the Enlightened Vision" Going back to the days of Abraham, the pastor clearly demonstrated the wonderful vision of the prophets and their great belief in the future prosperity of their people Had Israel followed the teachings of these great prophets and not turned aside they would have been prepared for the Star of Bethlehem. The people who sat in darkness turned their faces in gladness to the Great Light of Jesus Christ. The scene is being re-enacted today. The Southland is in darkness today, and the atrocious crimes committed are great black spots on our American country. Before the liberty which Jesus died to bring into the world is established, someone who has the vision must come and lead our people as Moses led Israel. It was a wonderful sermon and the large congregation hung upon every word as it fell from the lips of the pastor. Just before the sermon Messrs. Momay and Evans, effectively sane "Some Happy Day." The campfire for membership launched by Senior Endeavor was a success, numerically and financially. Mrs. Jones and her committee arranged a splendid program. James delights in extending a hearty and cordial fellowship to new members and welcome to strangers and visitors. BETHANY FREE M. E. CHURCH Bethany. Tabernacle From M.

Reed, who is an able speaker, expressed themselves as having been greatly benefited. The congregation was held spellbound from the many truths spoken from the 28th chapter of Matthews and 27th verse. His text was, "What Manner of Man Is This?" The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are at their very best in every respect, both in finance and attendance. Everyone is invited to attend the services as they are quite a treat to those who desire to learn of God. The pastor, Rev. J. K.

Daniel L. Reed was highly appreciated by all. A handsome silver set was presented Miss Cornelius Burke by the Sunday school as a wedding present. ST. PAUL A. M. E. NOTES. Rev Nora Williams, recently discharged chaplain in the U. S. Army, preached for us Sunday morning in the Coliseum. Time nor space will not permit us to comment on the sermon delivered by the young man. Suffice to say, that the walls of the Coliseum will never record a greater sermon, nor not even Gypsey Smith can preach a greater sermon than the one preached by Chaplain-Williams. Our deductions are that Missouri has no who is superior and but few equals. Sunday, Sept. 7, will find us in new St. Paul, remodeled from stem to stem. Services all day including 3 p.m. At 8 p.m., Lieut. Geo. L. Vaughan and brs assistants—returned soldiers, in their uniforms, if they desire—will assist the pastor in the evening service. Lucent.

ON THE MOBBING OF SECRETARY SHILLADY Association Notice The following statement regarding the attack upon its secretary, at Austin has been given out by The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "The Association has for tea years been at work in an effort to bring before the people of the United States the accessory of the suppression of mob violence. It has repeatedly called the attention of the nation to the facts of lynching and mob rule. It has shown that every Negro in the Southern States who dares to stand upon his rights as a citizen endangers his life. That the Secretary of this Association, visiting Texas on ordinary business in the course of his work, should have been beaten up by a deputy sheriff and a judge is another proof of the utter disregard of the South for decency and order." Mr. Shillady, since February, 1918, has been Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His work has been especially directed toward disseminating information regarding race riots and calling upon the governors of the various states to prevent such outrages and to punish the offenders. With the President of the Association, Mr. Moorefield Storey of Boston, formerly President of the American Bar Association, he secured the issuance of a call for a National Conference on lynching in New York, in May of this year. The Conference went on record as demanding a congressional investigation of the facts of lynching and mob violence in the United States. The attack upon Mr. Shillady is one more instance showing the necessity of such an investigation Mr. Shillady's presence in Texas was entirely in order. He went down to advocate a program that had been endorsed by the Attorney General of the United States and every living ex-attorney general, governors of southern states and leaders of public opinion throughout the nation. He went down on a matter that seriously interested the American people and was fundamental to democracy. Austin has a branch of 300 members which had been doing able work in co-operation with the State Department in relation to the recent outbreak at Longview, Texas. Mr. Shillady, is a man of absolute courage, great ability and high integrity. He has consecrated himself to the task of securing a fair deal for the Negro in America. Back of him are men and women white and colored, some in powerful positions, others in humble ones, not all determined that America shall no longer make a disgrace of democracy shall no longer talk of helping weaker peoples abroad and denying the first rights of the citizenship to people at home. The question is square before us whether or not a man can advocate law and order without being attacked by a mob which according to the newspaper stories, was headed by county officials. Nowhere else but in the southern states of America could we read that a judge and deputy sheriff best up a citizen visiting their city in the interests of a well known Association, highly honored, of ten years, standing in Association with Moorhead Store former president of the Bar Association as its president, Major J. E. Spingarn as its treasurer, with the governor of Minnesota as the president of one of its branches, and Secretary Capper until recently, president of another, in Association that has stood always for kindly calling and fair play. The Association believes that the citizens of the United States state that it profound indignation at this latest expression of no violence. No colored man who appears to think of himself is safe in the south, and would seem that the time is true today of any white man who has the courage to expound is cause. Not After Sexual Equality. Recarding the first arm of special equality, Mr. Shaffer, in his annual report said: "Not should an individual be led astray by the tiresome about about inequality. Social equality is a private question which no well will be left to individual decision, but, the prejudices of individual cannot be accepted as the controlling policy of a state. The national Association for the Advancement of Colored People is concerned primarily with public equity. America is a nation, not a private club. The privileges no less than the duties of citizenship below of right to no separate class of the people but to all the people and to them as individuals. The constitution and the images are for the protection of the minority and of the unpopular, no less than for the厉害 of fortune or they are of no meaning as American instruments or government." Will not the readers of this article wire or write to their Senators and Representatives expressing their in dignation at the treatment accorded Mr. Shillady in Texas and urging upon them a Congressional investigation of mob violence in the United States CHICAGO HAS DAILY COLORED NEWSPAPER CHICAGO.

When you suffer the agony and torture of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, lame back, or similar diseases, you of course want relief and want it quick. Limnites, peptifices and dope will sometimes stop the pain for a few minutes—but the pain comes back, sometimes worse than before. To get real and permanent relief you must go to the seat of the trouble—use an internal prescription that is reliable, one that not only drives out the impurities that cause the disease and suffering, but enriches the blood. Prescription C.2223 is a remedy that was originated, used and recommended in a successful doctor. It not only cures the poisons but builds up the diseases the blood. It has relieved stones and should re-lieve you. SUPERIOR TQ COPAIBA & INJECMONS SANTAL CA-SJLES M DY RELIEVES IN 24 HOURS Bell, Romont 832 Lawton Ave. Pressing CLUB J.
