The Rise Congress will demand that the book influence that will be held deprived of relevance is SUFFRAGE in determined to insignify the BALLET as the vital force that will enable the race to enjoy the full fruits of freedom and to obtain its rightful share in the DEMOCRACY for which a world-war has just been fought and won.

Vare, yesterday declared that he favors the Madden amendment to the Railroad Bill, now in Congress, and also that he is fighting to have Philadelphia have a big share of the contended 418,000,000 appropriation to the navy yards of the country. Congressman Vare declared that he dissuades the amendment to the Railroad Bill with Congressman Martin L. Madden in a common hold at the Strand Hotel, Atlantic City. "Relative to the Madden amendment to the Railroad Bill prepared by the Interstate Commerce Committee of the House, I wish to state that it prohibits the use, of so-called 'Tim-crow' cars in interstate commerce in the United States. There are some of these cars in the North either East or West, and they are used exclusively in the South. "The Colored soldiers of the United States were courageous, patriotic and fearless, and they are entitled to no small share of the credit won by the United States in the great world war, and aside from the fact that the pardons in the Middlesex court are just and deserving, I shall do all in my power to assist him.

CHICAGO WHITE MAN BEATEN FOR INSULT TO COLORED GIRL Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Sept. 25—Max Bauer, white, 125 Haisted street, the district which fomented much of the strife during the race riot, exhibited in a most disgraceful way, his virtuous "superior race" characteristic; it a movie theatre, when he brassely annoyed beautiful little Margaret Baken Colored, 10 years old. The little girl rubbed out of the theatre crying, and told oral Colored men what had happened. The men found Bauer in a hurry, and gave him a severe beating. Bauer was then arrested, and before Judge Hayes, on a charge of disorderly conduct, was found $50 and costs. Nothing was done to the men who administered the beating. Bauer is over 50 years old. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 23. A Negro was shot to death and a policeman was badly beaten in a street at Lenox Avenue and 135th Street. More than a dozen Negroes suffered injuries during the fighting, but succeeded in escaping arrest. The man who was killed met his death while trying to take a revolver from Police Corporal, Amanda Hayes. Hayes fired to defend himself from the attack of more than a thousand Negroes. The firing was quelled only by the arrival of reserves from the West 135th Street station. When extra petrolmen reached the scene the street was littered with broken bottles and pieces of coal that had been buried at two policemen who left nearby posts to go to Hayes' assistance. Showers of bottles greeted Lieutenant George Shoenick of the West Ullsway street station as he arrived through 135th street to the corner where the rioting was in progress. Several of the police narrowly escaped injury. Hayes was unconscious on the sidewalk beside the subway track in Lenox Avenue, when he was rescued. Over him stood policeman Samuel Battle a Negro. Battle's revolver covered the crowd of Negroes who had beaten Hayes. Besides Hayes lay the dead body of the man killed by him. Shouts of "lynch him!" "Kill him!" were being raised by the Negroes and Policeman Battle, added by Policeman Lenox, also of the West 135th street Station, were having a difficult time restraining the attackers from seizing Hayes. Eublished In The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1919 PROTESTS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION BY THE N.A.A.C.P. New York, Sept. 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a letter to President Wilson concerning his attention to the fact that an Negro had been among the 22 men from all parts of the country invited to meet in Washington on October 6, to plan new relations between labor and capital. The letter which is signed by John R. Shillady, asks the appointment of Negroes to the commission in proportion to the percentage that Negro labor forms of the country's total labor supply, namely 17 per cent. The letter reads: Hon. Woodrow Wilson. President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Sir: The press of September 18 tells of the invitation extended by you to twenty-two men residing in all parts of the country to meet in Washington, October 6, next, to "formulate plans for development of a new relationship between capital and labor." The dispatch also tells of the selection to be made later of an additional and equal number of conferences by organized labor and organized employers. May we not call your attention to a fact that apparently was overlooked by you in the selection of these men and one which we feel should be brought to your attention and that of the country at large. According to the census of 1910 there were in the United States at that time 7,317,922 Negroes over ten years of age, and of that number 5,192,535, or 71 per cent, were employed in gainful occupations. According to the same records there were in America 63,323,870 whites ten years of age and over, of which number only 32,874,056, or slightly less than 50 per cent, were employed in gainful occupations. We wish to call your attention to the fact that no one of the twenty-two persons invited by you to sit on this commission is of the colored race, although, according to the above records one of every six wage-carnars in the United States is of the colored race. May we not also remind you of the fact that due to the exigencies arising as a result of the war, immigration from Europe has been changed to emigration to Europe. The industrial vacuum thus created has, to a large extent, been filled and will continue to be filled by Negro workmen from the South. With this workmen from ing on a value hitherto unknown, the Negro becomes more and more a factor in the industrial life of the countryside. In any discussion of the relations between capital and labor, and particularly the level of the present unrest, may we not take it is at all wise to ignore in this manner nearly seventeen per cent of the labor of America! May we not, therefore, ask that it it is possible you appoint representatives of colored labor at least in proportion to the percentage that Negro labor forms of the country's total labor supply? Respectfully yours, JOHN R. SHILLADY, Secretary. PROTEST EXCLUSION OF NEGROES NEW YORK, Sept. 24—The Nation al. Association for the Advancement of Colored People upon receipt of the report that the United Brotherhood of Way and Maintenance. Employees and Railroad Shop Laborers in convention at Detroit had voted down a proposal to admit Negroes to full membership, promptly telegraphed the following protest: United Brotherhood of Way and Maintenance and Railroad Shop Laborers, Detroit, Michigan National Association for Advancement of Colored People with two hundred and seventy-five branches and eighty thousand members throughout the United States protests against defeat of proposal to admit Negroes to full membership in your organization and urges that your policy needlessly divides labor, as well as works injustice to colored citizens. JOHN R. SHILLADY, Secretary. Four. Colored Regiments Cited By The French NEW YORK, Sept. 23—Demanding even-handed justice for the Negro in the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a statement that the only four regiments of the American Expeditionary Forces to be cited for bravery and to receive the French Croix de Guerre were colored—the 389th, the 379th, 371st and 372nd. The statement is made on the authority of J. Howard Durkee, president of Howard University, and is corroborated by Emmet J. Scott, former special assistant to the Secretary of War. Besides the four colored regiments to be cited for bravery a battalion of the 387th—the original "Buffaloes"—trained at Yaphank, Long Island, received French citation. WHITES ORDERED OUT OF N. C. TOWN Associated Negro Press WILMINGTON, N. C., Sept. 25—News has been received here of the planned unrising of the Nego population of the little town of Shallowtown, 22 miles west of Southport in Brunswick county. The several hundred citizens of the place were startled. Monday morning, when they found tacked up in different public places in the town notices of an incendiary nature, "inviting" the white population to beat it. The notice read: "White people Get Out. This means Death. Remember the Beatings and Lashings that Our Parents Received." The warnings were handwritten and the citizens of the town started to investigate. By writing on deeds, mortgages, notes, etc. available. It was found that indications pointed to several more people. Negroes better suited in the old state. THE U.B.F. HOME AT HANNIBAL, MO. THE U.B.F. HOME AT HANNIBAL, MO. BY A. W. LLOYD G. C. K. OF P. ST. LOUISE, Mo. Septem. 29—After traveling more than 1000 miles in the interest of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Phyllis, any tour was ended at Hannibal. White at Hannibal visited the Massee and the U. B. F. Home; of the latter I have this to say: that the great Order of the U. S. F., has a home for its unfortunate members which is a credit and an ass set unrealised by 90 per cent of the Order. It would make any member of the Order feel proud of his connection if he could see the house in its present condition. Perhaps it cannot be described better than in the words of Past Grand Master Pettigrew who wrote in the register of the home his observations: "This home is in the best sanitary condition I have ever seen it. Everything is clean and nice; the cooking is nice and clean; the inmates are clean, and have plenty to set; the farm is in the best shape; grow good; stock in good condition; the work is hard. One woman works from daylight until 10 o'clock at night. There is no stop for her. She is just fine and so seama unwary. I never saw so much fruit put up. This woman does everything about the house and farm. Mrs. Renfro should be encouraged with an increase of wages and a donation from the Board. We as U. B. F.'s will never be able to duplicate this woman, and Mr. Renfro her husband has no equal." S. T. Pettigrew, Past G. M. I made a careful examination of the Home and farm. I found all that Bro. Pettitgrew said to be true and I found more than he said in his brief words. There are 2 houses containing 20 rooms there are twelve inmates, 40 acres of farm land to look after; five head of horses, 5 head of cattle, 12 head of hogs, any number of fowls, there are children to send to school, and an orphan baby to take care of. I found all of this being more than well done, under the management of Dr. Queen and the special supervision of Bro. Renfro. For all of this valuable service for 8000 members of the Order they are receiving the magnificent sum of $40 and $20 per month. Our collections for last year was estimated at $8,000.00. They should receive not less than $125 per month. The janitor of any building of that size would get more. The Order cannot afford to fall to increase their wages. The work and care given the home by Bro. Renfro and wife are not the results of their wages, but the results of their love for the Order and for the unfortunate intrusted to their care. We venture to say that this is the verdict of all who made up the party—which was a representative party—there being in it Prof. Martin Lewis and A. C. Maclin of the Douglas High School, Mrs Jennie Cotton Buckner, well know in fraternal circles and especially to the Grand Royal House of our Order and myself. This man Renfro has wrought wonders of out Home. Much honor and credit are due to Mr. and Mrs Renfro. Our Old Folks are well taken care of by the present management. No better place can be found for our old and decrepit members. MASONIC HOME After six years, of most faithful service, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Dixon, the managers of the Negro Masonic Home at Hannibal are retiring, tired and worn-out with the heavy burden of caring for the Home. Since their taking charge of the management, the place has been well stocked with hogs, cows, and poultry of all kinds, the home has been remodeled, and electric lighting system has been installed, the inmates have increased from four to nine, and those already there have grown older and more deceptive, which makes the service more burdensome and taxing. They have been able to improve, a credit to the Masons of Missouri and an honor to themselves. Their places will be hard to fill. Grand Master C. C. Clark will signalize his success if he can find their equals in work and worthiness and in the love and appreciation of those who live in the Home. Y.W.C.A. Sunday afternoon the "Bachelor Girl" will render a miscellaneous program at the Vesper services. There will be special mime. We are glad to announce the arrival of Miss Ada Cogman, Physical Director and Girl's Work Secretary, who comes to us from Kansas City, Mo., where she has been engaged in Association work. Prior to that time Miss Cogman was a teacher in the State Normal of Nashville, Tennessee. She is a talented young woman, being well known as an elocutionist of merit, having graduated from the Emerson School of Expression, Boston, Mass. Miss Cogman is the fourth secretary to come to us through the War Council in New York City. Wheatley Branch had been most fortunate in this respect with a staff of six members, two guarries are carried by the Central W. Y. C. A. and four by the War Work Council. Wheatley赂 were those who braved the inclement weather Sunday afternoon to bear the interesting talk by Mr. Jan. L. Usher, on the "Posibilities of the Y. W. C. A. in St Louis." The Girl's Work Department of the Y. W. C. A. is wide awake and planning and organizing many different clubs among all classes and ages of girls. It is the hope of the Association to have a record breaking year in Girl's Work. Numerous clubs are now being formed including the following activities: swimming, basketball, corner ball, volleyball, gymnastics, folk and aesthetic dancing. Hiking parties are also being planned. Come and hike with us and have a good time. Classes in embroidery, cruchet, expression and dramatic art cooking and special embroidery making are open. All girls are welcome. Come and register with us now at the Phyllis Whistleway House and West Cordova Community. COLORED VOTERS PROVE STRENGTH IN MD. ELECTION COLORED VOTERS PROVE STRENGTH IN MD. ELECTION Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 25.—A Colored man in primaries, in Prince George's county, Md., polled a surprisingly large vote as a Republican candidate for county commissioner, but was defeated by a small plurality by two white candidates. This would ordinarily be of no interest, but is now claimed to be significant as regarding the purpose of the Colored voters in that county and in other southern Maryland counties, where the Negro vote controls things for the Republican party, to obtain hereafter recognition from the white Republicans who hold all the offices to be had, and have never divided with I colored voter who furnished the largest part of the party strength in all these counties. This ambitions candidate was John D. Brodus. He made a sharp campaign for the nomination as county commissioner, getting out an primary ballot on which was printed his name and that of four other Colored candidates as delegates to the Republican State Convention. Their convention delegates were nominated without objection. Here was one of the appeals of Brodus: "Our votes control the Republican party. Without us they are lost. See if our white friends we have fought alongside of will help our ticket. Next time we will have more pull with our Congressman." Brodus told the Colored voters everywhere that the Negro soldiers had fought for the country; that for years, Colored men had consistently voted the Republican ticket in all the counties of the Fifth Maryland Congressional district without scratching, and that they had never gotten anything for their loyalty. The Republicans were embarrassed by Brodus' candidacy, and charged that he was influenced to enter the race and make the campaign by Democrats of Prince George's, so it would make trouble for the Republicans. Brodus denied this. He declared he made his fight on principles, and will continue to preach the doctrine, in that county and elsewhere in the Fifth district, that the Negro voter must have recognition within his party, or will demand an accounting as to why he is expected to furnish the votes and get nothing for his identity and loyalty. CHARGE MURDER TO NEGRO SHIP CREW WILMINGTON, N. C., Sept. 25—The seven Negroes of the, the crew of the schooner William H. Summer, which ran aground off Topsail inlet while enroute from Puerto Rico to New York were served with federal warrants charging murder of the vessel's captain Robert E. Cochrane. Following the story of the Negro mate, Charles Lacey, that the Young skipper committed suicide because of dependency over the disaster to the vessel on his initial trip as commander federal and county authorities started an investigation. Peculiar circumstances surrounding the affair aroused guspicion and the authorities say they believe they have sufficient circumstantial evidence to hold the Negro crew on charges of murder. BROOKLYN, N. C., Sept. 25—Superintendent of Sewers, James J. Browne was given an ovation upon his appearance at the ratification meeting of the Regular Colored Democratic Association of Kings County held at Tammany Hall, Willettough and Bridge Street. The members of the Colored Democratic Association greeted Superintendent Browne as the next Sheriff of Kings county and pledged themselves to work in his interests from now until the polls close on election day. He spoke on the value of Organization and thanked the members for the large vote they polled for him on Primary day. Y.M.CA. Mr. David D. Jones the executive secretary of the Pine street department, is now in Cleveland, Ohio, having finished his tour of the associations further east. He is expected home on or about October 4. The Pullman men are beginning to come into the "Y" with a smile. Who? First because the clean, cheerful building is beginning to mean home to them and second, they have caught the spirit which permeates the Pine street Y. M. C. A. "Smile and the world smiles with you." Mr. Goodrich who has been on the slick list is now on the job again with his usual vigor and hospitality. The "Builders Club" had an enthusiastic meeting Tuesday night. They are planning their fall and winter program. It is their intention to get next to the men and boys. Don't look upon your membership merely as a donation. It takes more than money to make an institution like the "Y" go. It takes the man behind the membership fee. There are any number of ways in which you can and enjoy the building. Get other men and boys to join. You can do this, spend two cents and five minutes, spend to the membership secretary the names of a number of men you know. Let him have a "Y" talk with them. Have you heard of the "Y Owl"? Well, you will hear about them later. It's an organization among the dormitory men to promote fellowship. They plan a literary society that will be open-to the public. They are organizing an orchestra. First practice night at 8 o'clock. Join them in the "Sing" some Sunday morning at 9:30. Our safety services and meals are just the thing for that Sunday afternoon dinner party. A card "is on our desk from Mr. Stone saying that he is comfortably located and well pleased with the outlook at the Springfield "Y" school. Let the membership man slip you TEN PAGES UNREST S HERE IN F AMONG Negro Candidate in the Field Place on City Committee to James N. McKelvey for UNREST SEEN HERE IN POLITICS AMONG VOTERS Negro Candidate in the Field for Congress Is Probable. Place on City Committee Sought. Bitter Opposition to James N. McKelvey for Sheriff. Opinions Freely Expressed Indicate A Finished Fight Will Be Made For Political Recognition. A careful study of the situation in local politics, as affecting the Negroes, will leave the best judges in doubt, as to just how the Colored voters will be lined up. There seems to be an unusually large number among them who are talking of an independent movement. The first meeting of this kind is scheduled to take place within a few days. Much dissatisfaction is expressed among the rank and file, as well as the more influential, over the present political situation in the clay, and it is claimed that "we cannot make worse our condition by starting an independent movement." A meeting at the Metropolitan Church not long ago was said to have political significance, in which nearly five hundred voters attended. The speakers declared that they were tired of being a "catspaw" and from now on they would be for the Negro. THE DYER-WEIL INCIDENT. The incident which took place at the Republican State Committee meeting, not long since, in which Mr. L. C Dyer threatened Mr. Julius Well, because the latter proposed a Negro as a member of the Committee is much talked of in political circles among the Negroes. It is claimed that many of the white voters in the District are ready to join in the support of a Negro candidate for Congress if a suitable one can be agreed upon among the Colored voters. Pitman and Vaughn Mentioned. Among those mentioned as possible timber for Representatives of the race are the names of Mr. Chas. A. Pitman and Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn. Mr. Pitman is in the Real Estate and moving Picture business, being the owner of the Jest-a-Mere Theatre, at Finney and Whittler. He is acknowledged a thorough race man, always contending for the rights of his people and never allowing the opportunity to speak in their defense, pass unnoticed. He is exchairman of the Executive Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr Vaughn is an attorney who enjoys a nice practice in this city, an ex-Lieut U.S. A., and the present chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He is a lower of his race and is known as a "flighter." While there are others whose names have been mentioned this connection, Messrs. Pitman and Vaughn are leading in sentiment with Pitman the stronger of the two. Slater Must Divide. Give and take seems to be the watch word with the Negroes in the 17th Ward Hon. President M. Slater, who is City Committeeman, is a candidate for Public Administrator. But the Negroes declare they will not support him for this office unless he resigns the committee as he has promised. All indications are that the Negroes will expect more political recognition in the coming election than ever before. Opposed to McKelvy Information from the twenty-third Ward, indicates that Jas N. McKelvey will run for sheriff. But the Negroes generally are opposed to Mr McKelvey and will welcome the chance to express their opposition at the polls. Chan Morstad, who also is a candidate for sheriff, is quite popular among the Negroes throughout the city. It is pointed out that Mr Morstad has been liberal in distributing patronage to Negroes, since he has been City Magallah. He seems to enjoy the confidence of the people, and is considered a sure winner. Mr McKelvey is Committeeman from the Twenty Third Ward and is now holding an eight thousand dollar committive job under Mayor Kiel. WHITES THREATEN NEGROES IN BALTO. Associated NEPO to BALTIMORE, Md.

Colored people "moving in" in the time limit of the 17 day period. Mrs. Clyman said, expressly today, and she understood that the Colored people were coming in immediately.

PRICE 5 CENTS Negroes Join Independent Voters, From Forty-eight States, Who Will Meet in St. Louis, December 9. New ideas, new thoughts and new actions seem to be the dominant thought in the minds of the Negroes throughout the country. The recent world's great war has changed things. Any movement that promises a change in things is receiving consideration from the Negro just now. Decipheration for deaf ears are now receiving listened attention. This is evident by the fact that a large number of Negroes in St Louis are manifested a great deal of interest in a conference of the Liberal Independent Voters which will be held in St. Louis, Dec. 9th to 12th. The Liberal and Independent Voters' Movement is distinct and separate from all other political-parties and promises a platform on a broad scale of REAL democracy, which seems to be the thing that the Negro is longing for. 2. To adopt a definite method of political action for giving these principles immediate force in the government of the United States and in the international relations of the republic. You are invited to this Conference in the belief that you share with us the profound conviction that the time for action has come. The fact and the spirit of our ancient liberty must be restored, must be fitted to the realities of our modern life. This is a challenge to democracy, to the very genius of popular government. As we are worthy of this heritage, we shall meet it with a fitting expression of national mind and will with intelligent and concerted action. The Facts. The dominating political groups of the two principal political organizations do not desire, and do not even understand, that free citizens should determine their own political and economic life. They have so long weighed the word above the fact that facts for them have no meaning. They have turned to the actual government of the land to reactionary and predatory interests and contented themselves with the honors and condiments of office as the servants of these interests.

St. Matthew 16:26, was the text excerpted by the pastor Sunday morning, subject, "A lesson in Spiritual Profit and Kill." Dr Peck treated the subject in his usual philosophical manner convincing his hearers that Christ's mission on earth was not to condemn the accumulation of this world's goods, but to emphasize the value of Christian character. If we pursue the course mapped out by Jesus, emulating his example, we will gain the whole world without losing out souls. At 9 o'clock in the evening seats were at a premium so large was the crowd assembled to hear Miss Hardy Haywood, who will leave in a few days to begin her studies at Payne's Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio.

The young speaker announced her text from St. Luke 5:12-14, theme "Leprosy, a type of sin." Her wonderful message, delivered with power, proved conclusively that leprosy is to the body what sin is to the soul." The Holy Spirit seemed to hover near this young evangel, and the conclusion of her sermon, three accepted Christ, which seemed like a benediction.

THE LEGEND OF THE MISSING MAN Evangelist A. C. Chatman is assisting Evangelist Willis in a series of meetings at the Gospel Tent at St. Cottage. The meetings are largely attended and great interest is manified. Last evening the audience increased until standing room was at a premium. Following is the program for the week: Sunday night, Sept. 28—*Which and why?* (A big problem solved.) Monday night, Sept. 28—"Dry Bones in the Valley." What are these bones? Are they about to rise? (A great message.) Tuesday night, Sept. 30—"The Holy Ghost." How is He received? How does He operate? CHAUTAUQUA DOSPEL TENT. 4362 Cottage Ave. "Modern Spiritism — misnamed spiritualism—in all its phases and phenomena is the work of the wicked spirits and is a prominent sign of the age. These spirits even opposed the work of the good carrying out the commands of their leader, Satan, deceiving, lying, betraying and, in every conceivable way, leading men downward toward perdition. So declared Evangelist Willis, Monday night, at the Gospel Tent at 4362 Cottage Ave., when he spoke on "Sultralism." Mr. Willis said, these wicked spirits or angels had been trying in every way to defeat God's purposes in the earth, and that it was but natural that they should impersonate the dead and thus cause many to disbelieve the plain statement of the Bible that man should "Surely die" (Gen. 2:17), and that death was an unconscious sleep (Gen. 3:4; Ecc. 5:9; 1 Thess. 4:13-17). "The Bible furnishes many striking examples of the working of this mysterious power and gives the only explanation that will satisfy our reason and common sense. The apostle Paul explains what these spirits are to us with the message of God (Heb. 1:13, 14). There is no fact more clearly stated in the Bible than that these angelic or spirits — ministering spirits — have often appeared to men. They materialized to Abraham, to Lot, to Daniel and to Mary; also the angels that stood by the tomb of Jesus declaring that the Savior ha risen, and many other instances, all of which prove that these angel spirits, which are ordinarily invisible to human eyes, but which have the power to materialize, are intimately connected with human affairs. These angelic spirits are not, as is often suppose, the spirits of our departed dead, nor will we become angels, for we are not created for that sphere. The angel spirits which we have described thus far are, of course, good spirits, loyal to the government of heaven, but there are angels that sinned and lost their first estate, as DR.

These fallen angels or wicked spirits are under the leadership of Satan (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 12:7-9). Thus it will be seen that the evil angels, as well as the good, are intimately associated with things of the earth. A very interesting case of the materialization of an evil spirit, and a very popular form of their deception, as described in 1 Sam. 28 years before the days of King Saul, Jehovah commanded his people not to sufer a wizard or wizard to live (Ex. 22:18; Lev. 19:31; 20:27; Deut. 18:10, 11). These witches or wizards were what we call in our day materializing medimis; and are described in the Bible as those that had familiar spirits. Spiritualists, as might be expected, deny the doctrine of the unconscious sleep of the dead, the resurrection of the dead, the divinity of Christ, the atonement and the reasonableness of prayer; they deny God, they justify sin and deny the Bible. By impersonating our loved dead, these wicked spirits, will a stronger influence upon us than if they should come to us in any other disguise, and they come at a time when the heart is most tender and susceptible to supernatural influences—when we have lost some loved one. I am glad to say that the Bible positively declares that Satan with all his evil spirits, shall be utterly destroyed. in the lake of fire which shall consume all the wicked.

The entertaining quality of vaudeville stock went above par at the Booker Washington Theatre last Monday night, due to the excellent bill Mr. Turpin had booked for the amusement of his patrons. The combination this week is in a class with the best this house has offered and is pleasing the big crowds immensely. Cornell and Russell have an act made up of good singing, humorous narratives, sarcastic jokes and dancing. "The female scores nicely, singing 'I'll Say 'He' Does,' and the man goes over with 'Monkey Man.' "And Then," a novel conversational song, gets a big hand at the close. Jolly Law Tally, the funny comedian with so many freak actions, is appearing along this week, thanks to an open date in the Hybrid Ewing Company's booking. Tally loses none of his humor as *single and, as a result, the crowd is kept screaming from the time he enters until he leaves the stage. His comic buckdance is a knockout. Jules and Baby McGarr are third on the bill and, although they are repeating their previous jokes, they take well with the audience and get a big hand as a reward for everything they do. This team offers a good measure in songs and dances, but makes the biggest hit at the close with a variety of dances, of original conception. Their dance of the "rough necks" leaves the audience clamoring for more. Blaine and Brown, Clarence and Goldies, close the show with a new act which does not fall to give full vent to the peculiar eccentrics of the female member. This teams original lines of humor create a barrel of fun. Among the numbers are a tragedy of photophiles followed by a comedy-dramatic song, "Poor Pauline," by Goldie and a sentimental rendition of "Mammy O'Mine" by Clarence. The act goes through a storm of merriment and closes in a cyclone with "If You Ever Get Married," which almost stops the curtain. JOE BRIGHT AND COMPANY NEXT WEEK The Booker Washington Theatregoers will be delighted to learn that Joe Bright and his stock company will be the attraction at this theatre next week. Mr. Bright is a dramatic actor of rare talent and is a big favorite here. He always surrounds himself with finished performers and the patrons are always treated to a big treat of originality. Mr. Bright's strongest sort is domestic drama, but he always includes enough light comedy and music to please everyone. The engagement begins next Monday night. Mabel and Bert Whitman, with the "Dixie Boys," Aaron and Tommie, are on the Western Vaudeville time, playing here at the Grand this week. After they finish their present tour they hope to pay the B. W. patrons a visit. It will be news to many to learn that "Baby" Alice is now the wife of Aaron Palmer and is retired from the stage temporarily. Dudley Reported Dead. Dudley Reported Dead. A telegram was received in St. Louis Tuesday announcing the death of S. H. Dudley, the well-known show manager of a comedian. The message stated his death to the comedian, but contained no other information. Dudley last appeared here at the Coliseum, with his own company, late last spring, and took part, in the Booster's big parade and reception to the Ninety-second Division heroes. Several St. Louisans met him at Atlantic City, during the K. of P. Encampment in August. NOBLE JOHNSON IN "THE MIDNIGHT MAN." THE NEW UNIVERSAL SERIAL. First Episode Will Be Shown at the Booker Washington Theatre Thursday, October 2. Noble Johnson is the foremost colored motion picture actor, in the world. Johnson, aside from this unusual honor, is the most prominent colored athlete that ever trod stage or screen. Such other famous fighters and athletes, as Jim Corbett, Eddie Polo and James J. Jeffries are so impressed with the athletic prowess of Noble Johnson that they have taken him in tow, and are willing to back their judgment and their confidence that he would make Jack Dempsey step some. Noble Johnson is to be the headliner at the Booker Washington theatre in "The Midnight Mad," a Universal serial, and the most sensational and thrilling picture of its kind that has ever been flashed on a television in "The Midnight Man." Johnson is in the greatest. The daring stunts and the unpredictable escapes and encounters performed by Johnson will make his audiences cheer until they become exhausted. "The Midnight Man" will be shown at the Booker Washington theatre successively for eighteen weeks, beginning October 2, affording the patrons of Mr. Turpin's popular amusement house the most enjoyable entertainment one could ask for. Johnson, indeed, performs wonders. His admirers will howl with delight when they see this great athlete year into crowds, waitup, them to a frillade and put them hors d'combat. Included in the cast with Johnson are some very well known screen characters, among whom we might mention is James J. Corbett, the former heavyweight champion boxer of the world, who himself says that the hardest fight he ever engaged in was the sixty-one round draw with Peter Jackson, who was the most scientific man the ninth ever produced. It is expected that an overflow crowd will be on hand to do full honor to Johnson when he makes his appearance as a star in "The Midnight Man" at the Hooker Washington theater and Thursday October 2. With the alterscopes well under way to compaction, the Cornet theatre is to be the most beautiful and most convenient photolay theatre on Market street, and no money or effort has been apart from recording the ALLEN DWAN'S Masterpiece with LOUISE GLAUM.

He breaks up the romance of his sister with her lover and brings down a treasury upon his house.

A. Mills, Manager of the St. Louis Giants and Secretary of the Recently Organized Association of Negro Clubs. "I have been asked to give my views of the of St. Louis Giants, of the past and the general outlook for the future in Negro baseball. The St. Louis Giants, some twelve years ago, were merely a joke; playing from lot to lot, and recelying nothing more than car fare and a few small tokens, which were picked up by managers off bets. Back in 1906, I was working as a messenger in one of the local banks. My salary would not permit taking chances on having a baseball club. I visited several games, and from what I could see, I quickly made up my mind that the club could be made A No. 1. Now the question arose in my mind as to where I was going to get the money on which to start. I tried everyone whom I thought had a few kuesbler. The result, "nothing doing." My next more was a visit to Conrad Kuebler (white) who at that time owned a baseball park known as Kuebler's park. I placed the matter squarely up to him and to my surprise, he not only wanted the club, but it appeared to me that he wanted all there was to be made, if anything, with my taking the short end, which of course, I was compelled to do. "No money," "he voice," only in handling the club. "Every game played, showed better results. Then I started laying my plans. Fate turned my way. I persuaded the late Frank Leland to take a chance with me, and bring his club, which was known then as Leland's Giants, to St. Louis, as a feeler. Again taking low. On this club was then a young man, starring as the greatest 3rd baseman in the country, by the name of Richard Wallace. After a chat with him I was convinced he wanted to make a change. He agreed to lay his future in my hands, and we started out to build a club that would hold its own in baseball, and place some business ideas behind it. Now, for more trouble. Our good white friends began to realize that it would only be a matter of time before I could and would dictate the policy of the St. Louis Giants. Then the trouble started. They kept me moving from park to park, until I was "bite in the face." They knew that without a home, I could not last, and they finally succeeded a putting me on the carpet. Until the spring of 1919, when Messra. Whitler, Harris and Haynes assured me that "moving day" was all over, and a home at last. "Thanks." Today the St. Louis Giants represent as clean a business as one would care to have—a financial success. Grounds and building represent an investment of $5,863.33. Monthly pay roll and park expense $3,700, and proud to say we are marking on the right side of the ledger, and every dollar, with a few exceptions, is being spent with our people. So, with a little hard work and the support of the loyal fans, I have been able to place the St. Louis Giants on a solid foundation. I owe this to the general public, as they stood by me faithfully. Our club employs 14 ball players; 2 ticket sellers; 2 gatesmen; 1 runner; 1 ground keeper; 1 official score keeper; 2 box set ushers; making a total of 25 young men in our employ. Some of them are earning salaries that would be impossible in other walks of life. Years ago it was the opinion that a man must be a "rough neck" to take up baseball. Such a vast contrast today. A ball player, to build up the reputation of his club must be a gentle man on and off the baseball field. That is what every manager requires of his men these days. Betting is being discouraged; and to bet on a ball game in the open at a park, comes from nothing more than notoriety. It creates more harm and dissatisfaction than any onething-connected with bare ball. Rowdialy, is a thing of the past. Good, clean sport, where you can bring your wife, mother, sister or sweetheart—that is where we are trying to bring Negro baseball—to the highest. I am sure that is what the public wants; in fact, that is what they pay for. Every mother should see to it that her son is a member of the Pine Street Department, Y, M, C, A. They teach the young men clean sport, in a clean way. That is one thing we should take advantage of. Baseball, handball, running, bumping; it makes strong and healthy men. Baseball among our people is now a business and not merely a joke. All over, the United States, the Negro is fast forging to the front in the National game. It is worthwhile for any young man's time. A good athlete can demand as much salary as the bank teller. Go to it boys, while you have youth. Future Up To The Fans The future of Negro baseball depends largely on the support given it by its own people. The new association that is being formed is great, and "bat off" to Andrew Foster, the "daddy" of them all, and the father of the new organization. It is queer why our public shool teachers do not encourage the boys and young men in that National pasttime and the greatest game of them all—baseball, just as the whites. Why is this? A Colored ball player earns from $80 to $175 a month as salary, and in plain words, he receives far better salary than the average Colored graduate can demand. Sport develops the body. It also develops in a man keenness of observation and quickness of perception. It makes him react instantaneously more than anything else. A man learns, to think quickly in an emergency; to become strategic; to watch his opponent, and to outwit him if necessary. He also learns the invaluable lesson of cooperation, of team play. He learns to obey as well as to load; to be a game loser, when he must and a generous winner when he can. A good fighter anywhere, cannot be "yellow" or a "quitter," and in sport, a man learns this. part as possible in sport. There is no better way of learning this than by taking, part in clean, honest sport and the future will depend on the youngster. The boy in school, the young man in high school; from these young men will come the future stars on the baseball field. 225 decisions in less than two hours, is what a baseball umpire has to make and believe me! in making them he learns all sorts of things about handling men. Umpiring baseball games may appear to some people as a peculiar and extra-hazardous profession, but it is like any other business. I imagine that the satisfaction an umpire gets out of doing his work well is pretty much the same as a judge gets. Both of them must know their particular set of laws, must be keen, impartial and make their decisions without fear or favor. The umpire who loses his temper is through before he starts. Of course no man is perfect in that regard, and an umpire has more temptations and opportunities to get angry than any other man in the world. Once he allows a set of ball players to find his "goat" they will be after it all the time; not especially because they dislike the umpire, but many of them regard it as part of the game and good fun. In recent years, the practice of trying to "rattle" an umpire has become unpopular with many managers. They realize that the less an umpire is annoyed and the less his attention is distracted from the game, the better his work will be. They also realize that nothing is gained by it, at any rate. So, restrain their players from making senseless kleen. Umpires in semi-professional baseball receive from $10 to $15 for two hours work. Not so bad, ch? A hint to some Colored ex-players. Wake-up. Sometimes in the near future I will tell you more about the new National Negro Baseball Association, which will revolutionize the national sport among our people and will mean as much to the fans as to the players. jys.fwk bkg bkbzsizfkfghfgkfloakgff BASEBALL Belleville to Try Giants Again This Sunday. The Belleville B.s. who lost to the St. Louis Giants by the close score of 3 to 2 recently, will make another trial Sunday at the Giants' park, North Broadway and Clarence.

Market Garrison Sunday, September 14, score being 17 to 13, in favor of the old gentlemen. Edgar Roper, manager of the Young Settlers, worked hard trying to get from D. Dollar, manager of the Old Settlers, the score being tied in the seventh inning, when the Young Settlers' pitcher, Earl, walked two men; then Jackson the great pinch hitter of the Old Settlers, cleaned the bags with a triple, making the Young Settlers use two more pitchers, but it was no use, the boys had their eyes on the ball. The Young Sattiter say the next game will be a no-hit affair, in their favor. LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! The beautiful Dreamland. 2804 Easton avenue, will open its doors to the public. Wednesday night.

SARAH ST. Near West Belle BUILD YE MORE "Build me more stately mansions, O my soul!" These are days of gemine construction of one group. In the midst of the world's greatest period of interest, the Negroes of America are forgetting those things which are behind; and are building every- where materially, with the highest spiritual sense of duty and responsi- bility. The Pyramid Temple in New Oklahoma, the St. Luke's Building in Richmond, the Pore College in St. Louis, the Whiteclaw Apartment Hotel, Washington, the Brown & Stevens Dungar Theatre, Philadelphia; more than one dozen magnificent Y. M. C. buildings in various cities; hundreds of fine churches; hundreds of excellent smaller business blooms and thousands of modern beautiful homes equipped to the last word in luxury, sanitation and comfort, these are the beacon lights of a new day and a new era. St. Louis with a great department store: Atlanta with a $600,000 hotel: Chicago with a million dollar Python building and wonderful prospective investments, and constructive plans reported from every section of the country, involving amounts from $1,000 to more, than $1,000,000, give forebear and impressive answer to the question: "Are we downhunted?" We have short life to this fine new spirit of Purpose. Let us pool our human resources and more, and risk to industrial and commercial hofties by the power of our concentrated efforts. Let us continue to make the way open for our own superintendents, managers, foremen, clerks, stenographers and several employees. We have made the other fellow rich: he has grown fat in his luxuries; booked and laughed at us. He has received all our money and shammed the door of opportunity in our face.

"What is the rights as a citizen; a fair life school fund; fore the civil a vote as the civil and an opportunity in general pleading to be any places in qualified Negro vote for the the qualification vote should be it The plea of the but conservative God it should be and granted. Negro seeking? His and loyal American distribution of the publ man's chance beil criminal courts; to of this great republic for public improve. The Negro, is not mayor or governor of the South; yet every should be allowed to vor or governor, and for the white man to same for the Negro. Negro is not radical, and right, and under made until it is heard "As for mob violence in our country, it can be stopped by everyone of us obeying the law, white and black. Especially should the white man, who makes the law, obey it. The Negro as a rule believes in law and order, but the masses have decided individually to protect themselves against mobs as far as possible. This decision was not made solely by the Negroes from the result of the teaching of any lenders, but it is in keeping with the spirit if the new era. It is the outgrowth of the war—self protection. This fact is verified by the accounts of the recent race disturbances in our country. There appeared in a recent issue of the Baltimore, Md. Sun, the following article written by Jean Bollean, a Frenchman, in which he vigorously defends, his countrymen for their deep affection for Colored Americans." "Sir, I should prefer to remain silent on the question of comparative morals of the American and the French girls. But since so much is being said in your Forum favorable to and unfavorable of the girls of France, I beg to state what I and thousands of other Frenchmen believe to be the main cause of all this hostile criticism of the women of my native land. "The main cause of this criticism is found in a letter to your Forum of the 6th Institute signed by "Allen P. Saulter." Your correspondent unwittingly gives the game away" when he says that "the good French girls love Negroes." This fact of French women's love for American Negroes is the taproot of the unfavorable comments made by white Americans against French women. French women were urged not to uningle with Colored American soldiers. They were told many awe-inspiring tales about Negro soldiers as a whole. But their social experience with these men & color absolutely failed to verify the many stories which had been pouring into their cars. A brief social contact with the American Negro soon caused all fear to vanish like a stain of vapor upon a mirror. But had the women of my country fallen victims to this subtle and extensive propaganda, lambed in France by white Americans against Colored Americans; had they allowed their souls to be filled with what is known in America as "ginger-hatred," had they drawn the "color line" and refused to open their doors, their arms and their hearts to the Americans of hue they would probably have been exalted to the sky as being among the best and most worthy girls on earth. But no! French women do not measure men according to the color of their skin. A white skin is not an essential attribute of French society or French citizenship. French women are criticized because of their love for Colored soldiers. But why should they hate Negroes as such? Or why should they even ignore them for no reason than their color? The Negroes' very polite, sincerely manner, their exemplary conduct among the French civilians and their reckless, brave conduct on the fireline, the womens hearts not only of the French women, but also of the French people as a whole. These brown skin sons of America were conceded to be the most lovable of all foreign soldiers on French soil. If French girls are to be regarded unworthily because of their affection for these men of color, then the French people as a whole must for the same reason be deemed unworthy. The French people do not discriminate against their own colonials on account of their color. They honor and respect them. It was the mighty Senegal who invaded the day after they beloved France in the first battle of the Marse. And France is not ashamed to acknowledge her indeluctability to these conquering sons of Africa. The French girls would regard as unreasonable any criticism against them because of the social welcome they extend to their region. Likewise they cannot see the reason or sense of any unfavorable common opinion of their widely known heavy attachment to American Negroes. As compared with this "fault" of having deep affection for Colored Americans, all other faults-of French women sink into insignificance. If the American people as a whole knew the fruitless efforts of these very ones who are finding fault with French girls, to prejudice their minds against American Negroes then could they see, as I do hatred or prejudice in their hearts based on the color of the skin of other people. Is this just cause for condemnation? French people do not think so, and cannot be made to think so. Many French girls will testify that they recerved more courtesy and better treatment from American Negroes than from the whites. No Negro even referred to a French woman as a "jane" or with any other slurring epithet. By way of notice that even your correspondent messes up her "jane" in reference to the French girl. If the failure on the part of French women to hate and discriminate a against American Negroes merely because of race or color be regarded as a fault, then French women are proud of such a fault."

Housing Corporation of the Department of Labor for Negro war workers who are employees of the great Hampton Roads Naval base has recently been placed, under the management of Mr. Fred D. McCracken, a colored real estate man of ability, formerly of St. Paul, Minn. He entered war work in charge of Homes Registration in Washington, upon the recommendation of and under the supervision of Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics. Mr. McCracken, who has had considerable experience in housing problems and who is deeply interested in the industrial advancement of the members of his Race will be responsible for the upkeep of the homes and for the welfare of their occupants. This new town, which is one of the 24 housing projects of the U. S. Housing Corporation, is scientifically laid out and consists of 224 substantially constructed buildings. All of the houses have running water and electric lights and are rented for $19 to 18 monthly. Arrangements are now long disliked in which they will permit their purchase, by the occupants, on a very attractive "easy" plan which will doubtless be readily each advantage of by the workers who will welcome the opportunity to become home owners. This experiment, which is being closely watched by large employers of Negro labor, throughout the United States, who are anxious to reduce their labor turnover has already had the effect of stabilizing labor and of creating a permanent force of contented Negro workers. PIFFLE! PIFFLE! WHATS IN A NAME? Why do we keep on talking and bothering about a name? It's a contention as old as Hector's pup, and it "ain't sittied yet," and never will be, that's certain. The Portland Advocate recently had a scholarly written editorial, decriing the use of the term, "Negro." Followed a brief editorial in The Portland Times, denouncing the term "Colored." Both arguments are good, as such arguments go, but it impresses us as a foolish waste of valuable energy. There was once a scholarly and experienced man who stated that none of the terms, including Afro-American, should be used, but that we should always refer to ourselves as "this division of mankind" and his assertion was applauded. Any term may be digested by the proper effort. "Methodist" or "Hun." But is it not respected any was once as derative as "Hollsherk" where today? As a matter of fact, "use is the law of language" and that is determined by the leading thinkers and writers, and in our instance, the majority use "Negro" while many just as able use "Colored," and a diminishing few use the hyphenated "Afro-American." But what's the difference? It's like a fellow who said; "Sometimes I call my wife sweetheart, other times, "Sweets," and then at times, "Habe," and again by her first name, and in the language of Bert Williams' latest song he might have added, "It's nobody's business but my own." If we would spend as much time in constructive discussion as we do over persuasives, it would not be long before our GROUP—how's that? would get somewhere. Let's Classify Them It is high time in this adjustment of human relations to classify individuals. It is just as manifestly unfair for us to say: "I hate white people" is it for them to say: "I hate black people." The meenest white people we know, all have some individuals among us so whom they would want by unifl the last ditch is reached, and it is very evident that there are some of our own kindred who disgust one's very soul. The thing to do is to cease, using general terms. Give credit to whom credit is due, and "call" those who really deserve it. Progress has been made in this direction, but there is a long road yet to travel. Let's classify all the people and be fair about it. Old Man "Bulljoy" Every community has its "Old Man Killjoy." He sees life through blue classes only, the world is getting worse and there is nothing to hope for. He laughs in a pain, both to him and those about him. He has a head full of detrimental ideas, but never a constructive suggestion. He grows enthusiastic in discussing scandal, and the things that tear down one's good name, but is blind to the virtues and good deeds of life, such individuals are a pest, worse than a plague, and a measure to progress. If it be to be regretted that they did not all have first-class jobs, with their backs turned, in the front line trembles. They make up good valuable space in the world that could better be utilized by a well fed mule. IS IT TRUE? The purpose of course, is to defeat the southern policy of segregation. But the busy bodies who are pressing this foolish proposition on Congress ought to know that you can lead a bone to water but not compet him to drink. A Republican Congress might, out of political expediency, assert that there must be no segregation of the mass on transportation lines, but it could not guarantee the results of its experiments. There will be peace and order on railway trains and in street cars only while the policy of segregation obtains. When it ceases to exist, friction and worse will be inevitable. A NEGROS GOOD EXAMPLE The first bake of cotton for the season, he glued in Harris county, was grown by a Negro living on a rented farm near Houston. The producer of the cotton, William Whitting, worked hard to make the record. After getting the bake placed on it to the city, during the night, arriving at 2 o'clock in the morning, fear that someone else would beat him on a honor of selling the first bake of Harris county cotton this year. He was rewarded for his labor, for in addition to receiving, a good price for his product, he was given a premium of $25 by cotton men. The interest this Negro has shown in his work on the farm is to be commended. He's the type of Negro that is a 'credit to his Race. What the country needs is producers, not agribarters. There is a place in the South for the Negro who takes a pride in producing and the farm offers him his best opportunity to become economically independent! 'The white people of the South are glad to encourage) and aid the industrious lawabiding Negro.

(By Chas. Stewart.) Jefferson City, Mo. Sept. 23—"The citizens of Jefferson City and the faculty and students of Lincoln Institute united in celebrating. Emancipation yesterday and attracted large crowds of people. The features of the celebration was a street parade early in the morning, which was several blocks long, showtag the racial progress. Headed by a battalion of citizens, Lincoln Institute band, and cadets following, and then followed appropriately decorated automobiles, owned by the race, and a number—which had been donated for the occasion by wealthy white citizens; and floats carrying the Lincoln Institute model school, instilling into the hearts of the children patriotism and love for the country. The little children surrounded one of their number, Louise Richardson, who represented "Liberty." Following a lively time in the afternoon on the campus, a program was rendered in the chapel at 8 o'clock in the evening. President, Clement Richardson, of Lincoln Institute, presided The address was delivered by Col. A. N. Seaber, a veteran of the Civil War. He paid a high tribute to the colored soldiers who fought not for freedom, because he declared that the emancipation proclamation had made them free, and the fight was for the union, and to sate Old Glory. The celebration was the greatest in history of the city.

Peronnebona Parish, which never owned one dollar worth of property is completing the first of nine school houses on which parish will spend $20,000. East Baton Rouge Parish is putting $10,000 into a village school building five miles from Baton Rouge and is giving more than $18,000 in addition to rural school buildings.

What I mean is that somebody else could come along and produce an editorial full of sound sense and right to the point, quite as well as some of us you have got used to reading. If you don't believe it, read this letter sent me by a little Negro girl of eleven years old: "Dear Dr. Crane: I am going to be bold and write you to see what you think about some of the things I read, if you, too, have read them in the newspapers. "You see I am not used to writing letters, for I am only eleven, and the only person I ever write to is my grandma, who is a long, long way am here. But you will understand what I write about. "I was very sad when I read that whites in Chicago threw stones and killed a Colored boy in the water on a raft. "Then they had a race riot, and lots of the people were hurt and some killed. "Then I read that there were thirty-six fires where Negroes lived, in one day. "Then, say Negroes fire homes of whites in Stockyard district, rendering more than 1,000 Poles and Lithuanians homeless. "Then Mr. Wilson sends commission to investigate complaints of Jews in Poland, and I wondered if some of those same Poles come to Chicago to fight Negroes as they fight the Jews in Poland. "Then Negroes barred from Stockyards and not allowed to return to work. With no food in Negro section, many Negroes were leaving Chicago to go to Indiana. I just think that what those Poles and their friends wanted the Negroes to do—go away. "Then I read last Monday, that seventeen Negroes were indicted for murder in the race riots. That thirty-three persons died in the riots and thirteen were white and twenty blacks, but the blacks must have been terribly afraid of the whites and committed suicide, for I have not read set, where any whites have been indicted for killing them, and I think it terrible for people to be so afraid as to commit suicide. "You see I am a little Colored girl, and I love to draw the flag and sing the 'Star Spangled Banner,' but I am afraid that, does not do any good, where there is a race war. "You see, Dear Dr. Crane, that does not do any good; if I wrote this to the newspaper, they would not print it for a little girl like me, but if you write about it, they will have to, because everybody looks in the paper for what you write, and will read it because you write it and I am going to thank you now while I send it, because I won't have to bother you later by writing to thank you." "I am your friend, MILLED CAVE, Brooklyn, N. Y. And if that is not good, straight, thinking and first class utterance, then I am my judge. I is so well done that if R. L. Stevenson were alive I would think he was "putting something over" on me. WASHINGTON, 14, September 1 As the first steps in the preparation for the practice election for Colored presidents during the present vote here, 2000 Washingtonians have signed a petition addressed to President Wilson, according to the Rev. S. P. W. Dewey, pastor of the National Institutional Comprehensive Baptist Church.

Mob rule in America is on the increase, according to a statement made before a Congressional committee a few days ago. The strange thing to us about this statement is that it is so long in emerging from a source that should have been the best informed regarding the situation than any other class of citizens. For the life of us, we have never understood why the people have allowed the mob violence to go almost unchallenged whenever a few see fit to take the law into their own hands. We do not understand why the arm of the law has been so lax when lawlessness rises among the populace. If it is because this is a popular form of government, then it is high time a change is made and it is high time that those who disregard law and order should feel the stern hand of the law in no unmistakable terms. We should like to know what "rights" have mobs under the law. Why should the legal constituted authority fear a mob! A governor has all the power of the state to him in enforcing the law. Are the mobs greater than the power of the state! It is the duty of Congress to provide laws to preserve law and order in the land. Unfortunately, the governors of many states have declared themselves powerless to enforce the laws of the states or the laws of the United States. In that event, it is the plain duty of Congress to take the necessary steps to preserve the peace and dignity of the nation. Patience and toleration cease to be a virtue. The mobs are forging their rule tighter and tighter upon the people. Instead of the mobs chasing the law, it is time for the law to put the mobs out of business. It will be better for a few to feel the stern hand of the law and break up mob violence in America than to allow it to go on until the foundation of this government is undermined and tottering like Russia is today. It is high time that true and patriotic Americans should wake and call a halt on this un-American practice that is now sweeping this land. Congress, do your duty. ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL.

A committee of citizens have banded themselves together and have thought out a plan whereby many admirers of the ex-President of the United States might have a chance to contribute to a fitting monument to his memory. Such a movement will touch a responsive chord from every race or group of people that make this nation, because Theodore Roosevelt may be properly called the greatest American citizen who has been in public life. When he was President, he was President of all the people, regardless of race or creed. His ideas of true Americanism were the highest that have ever been expressed by words or pen. He not only talked his idealism, but he lived it. Therefore, he commanded the respect of all who knew him. The Roosevelt Memorial Association have been broad in their plans to perpetuate and cherish the ideals of Americanism as were exemplified in the life of that soldier, statesman and patriot-Theo Roosevelt—in that, regardless of politics, religion or other affiliations, all are invited to take part. Oct. 20 to 27 has been set apart as the week in which this question will be brought before the American people through churches, schools and other organizations. The Negroes of this country will gladly welcome the opportunity to join this movement to build a monument as an outward expression of appreciation of the life of Colonel Roosevelt, that the future generations may look upon it and know, too, that such a man was a real American in every sense of the word. Let us all, in response to the call of the committee and that most eloquent appeal made by Dr. Robert R. Morton recently in this city, and begin now to remind the less thoughtful of the coming event that all may have a full share in doing honor to the memory of America's greatest citizen of his day. We are now wondering what has become of Rev. M. M. Madden. We do not hear any more about his delegation to Washington in the furthering of his colonizing scheme. It is understood that a large number of people have contributed to the "cause" with the hope of being a member of his cabinet. Poor souls! We suspect Rev. Madden is telling every crowd the same story. Our advice is that he is a dangerous agitator and should be honored by all the people. Now comes the news that the Mayor, Chief of Police and other officers of Drunright, Okla., have abdicated and left the city in the hands of mobs. That is downright cowardice. They should be removed from office at once and barred forever from holding any public place of trust. According to press dispatches, the strikers are mostly the foreign element. Yet we do not see how the controversy can be settled without in some way putting the blame on the Negroes from the South. If all the factions turn on the Negro and make it a "race riot" instead of a "steel strike," we should not be surprised.

The members of the club and the guests exhibited wonderful taste in their striking costumes. Miss Lydia Taylor, the president, and Miss Lolou L.

This is a great institution, and should be patronized by every man and woman taking establishment in the country. If every undertaker would just purchase twenty-five per cent of the caskets used by them from this manufacturing concern, it would make this one of the largest institutions in the United States. We went through the entire building, which constitutes several floors, from the basement where the raw material is, to the noft floor where the machinery is in motion; controlled and operated by several young colored men, who are first-class mechanics and who are making these caskets, to where they are painted, covered and then to the sales and display room. They say that the undertakers of St. Louis are buying their goods and that they are loyal to them. It is a duty of every church, every secret order and every individual to demand of every church, every secret order and every individual to demand of every negro undertaker that they buy their supplies from the Elroy Mfg. Co. Whenever a colored person has a white undertaker in their family, in the vicinity where there is a colored undertaker, the colored undertaker raises a hand for not getting the business. Now let the PEOPLE HOWL if the undertaker does not get his goods from the Elroy Co. the only concern of its kind operated by our people in the United States. These men should be encouraged in this enterprise. MARRIAGE LICENSES Virgil B. Fox, 3226 Lawton; Lillian Mae Stanton, 2721a Wash. James Edwards, 3047 Ward, Belle ton; Eva M.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 26, 1919 ABYSSINIA WANTS SKILLED LABOR Abbysinsia, the land of the Qajet of Sheha who plied King Soloman, is still in the hand stage of manufacture. The women spin and the men reweave home as did the early colonists this countrybefore the introduction and invention of machinery and before means of transportation which encourage the exchange of commodities, were established. This rich country needs development it needs tradesmen, carpenters builders, civil and mechanical engineers, blacksmiths, doctors, dentists, teachers of agriculture, industrial teachers, governmental advisors. In fact its needs are numerous according to a statement recently made by members of "The High Commission" in a very pleasant and interesting interview with Dr. George E. Hynes, Director of Negro Economics, Department of Labor who met the Commission by appointment at their hotel during their first and recent visit to Washington. These gentlemen who represent the most enlightened and possibly the oldest Negro civilization were dressed in white summer suits and white capes which covered their shoulders and arms. They cordially welcomed-Dr. Haynes and were especially anxious to learn about the Negroes in America. They wanted to know about their occupations their wages and modes of living, whether or they had stores, factories and industries of their own; what provision was made for their education and what opportunity they had for employment after finishing the schools. One of the gentlemen of the Commission, who acted as interpreter and who speaks English fluency, had a number of questions written out on which he wanted information. The members of the Commission were solicitous to know about wages and contractural relations of employer and employee in this Country, as well as the relation if any, of the government to such contracts. They also asked about taxes on the wage earners and the information given by Dr. Haynes was carefully written down in their own system of writing, the characters resembling those of the Hebrew system. In speaking of Abbyssinia, they explained that agriculture is the chief industry and that the principal crops raised are barley, wheat and coffee in addition to the many fruits which are cultivated and raised in abundance. While they could give no detailed information concerning the improved acreage and the amount and value of each principal crop they referred to the terms of occupancy which do not appear to differ greatly from those followed in this Country. In the towns, the laborers are hired by he day, week or month, and are paid wages in a manner similar to the laborers here, but if the laborer is not paid wages according to agreement, or if he does not complete his job according o contract, the officers of the government may be called in to compel the defaulting party to fulfill his part. The gentlemen of the Commission were greatly interested in the progress made by American Negroes and expressed a desire to keep in touch with Dr. Haynes with whom they exchanged addresses. SIMMONS SPEAKS TO NEW ORLEANS CROWD ON LABOR DAY NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept. 4 Labor Day here was about the biggest-day New Orleans ever had. Roscoe Simmons made a speech to thousands that was more important not only because of the character of it, but because it was given publicity by the daily press. He spoke the platform of the Southern Negro, and Southern dailies printed it. Lincoln League Given $3,500 In addition to this speech the work of the Lincoln League was endorsed in practical fashion. Under guidance of Thos. P. Woodland, president of the Longshoresmen, the sum of $3500 was raised for the Lincoln League by the locals at the demonstration, and Chairman R. R. Church notified. Announcement was made at this demonstration of the postponement of the convention of the Lincoln League to Lincoln's birthday, Feb 12, 1920, and meet with approval. The New Orleans Daily item carried a three column account of the meeting Tuesday, Sept. 2. One sentence from Roscoe Simmon's speech has attracted wide discussion. It was: Is This Friendship? The Southern white is our friend, so he says. Well, if so, why is it that he gives my children only three months at school and his son nine months. If he is our friend, why does he give us stone, when we ask for bread, and make us pay taxes while denying us the right to vote. I say true friendship is made of different stuff." WARNs U. CLASS AGAINST BOLSHEVISM KNOKVILLE, Teen, Sept. 11—Bishop George C. Clements of this city, addressing a class at Morris Brown University, said: "I would urge all members of my Races to obey the law and keep clear of Bolshevism and all incendiary suggestions. We must demand protection of life and property by the government, which is guaranteed as the surest antidote for Bolshevism, I believe my people should defend their homes and their families. Certainly this crisis calls for great moderation and self-control. We still have faith in true democracy and expect a righteous race adjustment." for their perfect in In Staple and Fancy Groceries 1780 GOODE AVENUE DEAD HEROES MUST REMAIN BURIED ABROAD PARIS, Sept 19.—By a decree of President Policare, relatives of American soldiers who died in France will not be allowed to remove the bodies of their loved ones to the United States for a period of three years. The decree prohibits the exhumation of American dead in France for the reason that a transfer of the bodies to the American army cemeteries can not be carried out on account of the lack of railroad transportation. Public health reasons also were mentioned in justification of the order. FORGOT TO SAY "1 AM A COLORED MAN" ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 11.—Failure of Richard Genus, a respected, and respectable Colored resident of Pooleville district, this county, to state in a "help wanted" advertisement that he is a Colored man, is causing Genus a lot of trouble and worry. A few days ago, Genus, who is a widower, advertised in the Washington papers for a housekeeper to take care of his home and his childern. In answer to the advertisement a middle-aged white woman travelled all the way to Genus home after the job. Genus was not at home, but when the woman learned that he was Colored, she left in high dudgeon. As soon as she got to Washington, the woman wrote a hot letter to Genus, in which she demanded that he remit to her at once the amount she had spent for carfare and expenses of her trip, with something added for salve for her injured feelings. This was the beginning of Genus' troubles. He sent her at once enough to cover her actual expenses, which was about half the amount she de- Bell, Bomont 832 Lawton Ave. Pressing CLUB J.

Sept. 18—Senator Stanley shocked, his Colored friends in this state, to whom he owes his election as United States Senator, by making a speech before the Democratic State Convention held here some days ago and declaring that he "thanked God that the Democratic party was a white-man's party." The Colored citizens of Kentucky who voted for Stanley last year on account of his attitude in defending Lube Martin are very 'indignant because of his repudiation of their support. Stanley was elected last year, after a campaign with all his might for Colored votes, and his election was, by such a narrow margin that there is no question of his owing his election to them. A campaign for governor is now on and it is thought that Stanley's expression will take from the Democratic ticket every Colored citizen in the state. They hold that if the Democratic party is a white man's party it is no place for the Negro. AUBURN, N. Y., PAPER CONDEMNS LYNCHING AUBURN, N., Y., Sept. 18.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People important the citizen to join the other American papers and individuals to urge action by Congress toward an investigation of the institution of lynching. It sends the facsimile clippings from Southern newspapers announcing in advance the fact that at such an hour a Negro would be lynched and burned. We read under big headlines in the We read under big headlines in The New Orleans States " that three thousand will burn Negro, " we see in the Jackson, Miss. ally News, the beilines " John Hartfield will be lynched by Ellisville mob at five o'clock this afternoon, " and so on through newspaper accounts of crimes to be committed with absolutely no effect of local or state authorities to prevent the commission of such crimes; One newspaper account says: "Negro Jerky and Sullen as burning bour nears," while this sort of "special" accompanies the head: "As 4 o'clock approaches, John Hartfield, assailant of the Ellaville white girl, is being carefully guarded in the office of Dr. Carter of this city. The wounded Negro has confessed and seems very nervous. Dissension has broken out among the indignant citizens as to what disposition should be made of the prisoner. Some of the angry citizens, it is said, want him burned." We have quoted enough to reveal the grave character of this kind of lawlessness as it grows steadily in our nation. America has got to stop this mock justice, or mob law will throw us back into barbarism. It is not only lynch law as applied to the Negro, but lynch law as applied to reputations and principles of right that threaten to undermine our country. Not unmindful of the wickedness of lawlessness applied to the Negro criminal many men are turning to the same danger menacing in other ways. It is blind hatred born of bitter experience that causes men to become mobs by the South and it is the same blind hatred that makes Bolshevists, and that actuates men who, in turn, seek to stay Bolshevists by lawless methods. None men and women will unite at once to influence public opinion against lawless measures that purport to be short cuts to justice. They will resolve that all men, irrespective of their political or economic opinions, have fair trials when charged with offenses. They will suppress councils of hate. They will support the laws which constituted morality declares to be adequate to meet all offenses.—The Citizen. MINISTER PLEAS FOR RACE EQUALITY MANCHESTER, N. H., Sept. 11.—A civil war was necessary to allow the Negro to call himself free," said Rev. H. A. Jump, pastor of the First Congregational Church, speaking for his return from service for the Y. M. C. A., in France. "The Negro question is the most acute problem which this country has to face in the future," he continued, in a plea for Race equality. "I have faith, however, that the question will be settled peaceably and with justice to the millions of black men in this country." "In speaking to a prominent Cohort man who has talked to thousands of Colored troops, I found a most significant attitude expressed," said Rev. Mr. Jump. Continuing, he quoted the Negro leaders, saying: "Everywhere I find a most solemn soberness among the Colored troops, a set-jawed determination that the black man is to have the justice so long denied him. The mood of the black men of America is this: We are going to demand that we be taken for what we are worth. We have come to a country where we are judged according to our worth. We are going to demand the same treatment in America." "The Negro simply asks for what he deserves," said Mr. Jump. "In the land of the free, he desires simply his freedom. No Christian can be other than sympathetic with him." The moss-grown injustice, which has become a tradition will be cleared away in our land. Liberty is moving, and race prejudice must die." NOTICE.

Don't Go Blind We Test Your Eyes FREE And Sell Glasses and Sportacles on Time Dr. Wm. M. Riley The Periscope Publico Opinion Culled By A THE DOWN-TRODDEN RACE By Tom Harris Down-trodden race, the sun's rising on our sphere. Setting on the evils that have been thrusted on us. Methinks that God will shift the sands of time—then we'll get our liberty here; For which we have ever prayed. Years of yore our forefathers were bonded with those horrid chains of slavery; This was the infancy of "cracker" knaivery. Do we want to go back to those days of inhumanities? If we falter in our fight for our liberties We may as well prepare to face the crisis of these prehistoric days. While imbedded within our hearts, are the injustices that will forever dwell with our souls always. What has become of Lincoln's Enlightenment? Have they thrown it into the land of obliteration? He who a martyr died; within every Negro's heart They mourn his loss too, for he well played his part. For now they fear to give us a fair deal; Ever turning a deaf ear to our appeal. These civilized ones use barbaric means against us. Their kindlings of racial hatred keeps simmering are of prejudice a shame Thinking that by crucifying and burning us at stake The world would then proclaim us as profane. But we are straining at the leash, and some day these bonds will break Then we'll demand the ALL that liberty contains And soothe our hearts with the freedom we obtain. Brothers, the world owes us more than it can repay. But we have our trust in Him, who can the mighty sway. Oh, Justice! If you would take the binding from your eyes, and gaze upon the world. The whisperings of all these years, you'd brand them all as lies. Placing The Blame (Salem, Mass, News) Tucked away under inconspicuous headlines, in an number of newspapers, a Chicago dispatch conveyed this information: "Evidence that white men were the aggressors in the recent race riots disturbances here, resulted in the special coroner's jury appointed to investigate riot deaths, recommending the release of two Negroes now in police custody." That "perfect work" of justice of which we all hear so much at times, would materially be promoted in the matter under discussion if some of the white aggressors could only be haled before the proper tribunal and there dealt, with according to their several offending. Salutary penalties of this stripe would not be without their effect in causing one proportion of inciters to racial antagonism to moderate their activities. For one newspaper, however, the News hardly expects that Chicago violators in the class in question will be put in jeopardy of person anymore than their contemporaries in other sections of the country have found riot incitements with Negroes as the persecuted element, a practice to be avoided. STIRRING UP THE BLACK MAN (San Francisco, Cal., Call) The current unrest among American Negroes is blamed, like some other things on "agitators." Such is the report from Washington. The truth is that the Negro soldiers went into the war determined to make a record for their Race which the white race would have to respect, and that they have been disappointed. That accounts for some "unrest." Another source of "trouble" is the improvement of the Negro's economic position. Thousands of them have migrated into Northern cities, and those who have stayed in their old homes have discovered that they are peculiarly necessary to their white neighbors. Without the Negro agriculture in many parts of the South would be in a bad way. Discovering this for the first time, the black man has gained in self-respect and lost some of the humility that the whites like. He has become independent, he talks back, and he even chafes at taking the rear seats in the street cars. The whites are as determined as ever to keep him down. The result is discontent on the Negro's part and irritation on the white man's. No agitators are needed to make such a situation dangerous and difficult. THAT TERRIBLE·MOB AGAIN (Washington, D. C. Star.) This mob spirit is peculiar to no section, is inspired by no particular crime. It flames up everywhere, and sometimes under comparatively trivial influences. No locality would appear to be immune. Now it shows itself in one community and now in another. It is liable to show itself anywhere. We are all very much and very properly concerned about this question and that at present bearing upon the public welfare. But is there, could there be, a greater question than this? The high cost of living affects us all. But how about the low value placed upon human life. How about this constant and frequent mocking of the courts—this contempt for law and order exhibited often by the least respectable and influential of the population? The mob spirit is undoubtedly increasing, and unless checked, and with the almost resolution, it may get entirely out of hand, and bring everything of value to the ground. PROBLEM OF PROBLEMS (Stanston, Va., Leader) Notwithstanding the lofty ideals proclaimed by our President, around the Peace Table, and the symposium abroad to the effect that every race nationality and tribe should be free and have its own place in the sun, unhampered by the encroachments and injustices of other and stronger nations, have we not as a matter of fact much larger problem of this kind right here in our own country and several under our own flag in distant parts of the world than a number of problems over which our President exerted himself very vigorously, and in whose behalf he laid down the law to other nations, notably Italy with reference to Flume? TERROR OF NEGRO BULE. By Wm. Howard Taft This second objection is the one that there are more brown, black and yellow people in the world than there are whites; and that, as this is a convention of all the nations, a league of all nations, there will be more variegated Colored constituents than there are whites; and that in some way or another, which he does not explain, we are going to have Negro domination; that the Negroes of South Africa will unite with the Negroes of Panama, and then the yellows, the four hundred million of India, will all unite, and then we are going to be made brown, black or yellow, or come under that domination. It is not explained how. It is not suggested how the conspiracy is to be formed, nor, when formed, how it is to work out under the provisions of the League. The assembly can elect new members. It can recommend a settlement and it can advise as to the inconsistency between treaties and the obligations of the League. Now, how under the machinery, are those Colored gentlemen going to obtain the tyranny that the objector has shown? What is the object of such a speech? Is it to stir up the Southern constituencies where sensitive on the subject of Negro domination, and have them write their Senators who have indicated a purpose to support the League, so that they may be induced to vote against it? THE FIERY ADVOCATES THE FIERY ADVOCATES (Birmingham, Ala., Age Herald) Incidentally, Booker T. Washington was a stench in the nostrils of the fiery advocates of a new order of things. His common-sense teachings based on a profound knowledge of the two races and the barriers placed between them by the Creator, were an abomination to the Negro "highbrows" of Boston and New York, who by virtue of a certain native shrewdness and a college education, have set themselves up as leaders of their people. Under such leadership the American Negro will inevitably come to grief. AGITATION NOTICED BY WHITES (Little Rock, Ark., Gazette) Agitation among the Negroes dur ing the past year has not gone unnoticed by Southern white men. This agitation makes heavier 'the work of Negro leaders in the South. The South needs the Negro and wants the Negro, but if the Negro, in spite of what he knows of conditions in the South, desires to go North, the South even white men will not stop him. The Negro who qualms in the South is assured aid and friendship from Southern white men so long as he conducts himself as a good citizen should. But when any Negro attempts to incite his fellows in the South to murder, arson or other crimes, quick results will follow, and the man, either Negro or white, who knows the South and tries to make himself believe otherwise is fooling Himself. WHAT'S THE ANSWER? WHAT'S THE ANSWER. Dr. A. Wil伯force Williams health editor of The Chicago Defender, just returned from France, remarked in an address at a banquet given in his honor by the staff at the Royal Gardens, Chicago, Illinois; "France has need of thousands of our young men of training and ability. I do not advise all to go, but many of you should go, and there you will not be hampered in the rise to success." And he continued: "There are also, hundreds of opportunities in South America and Mexico. I expect to shape up my business and go to South America." President-elect King, of Liberia, tells us that there is need and opportunity for thousands and thousands in that title republic, and that is one of his missions in America; to get people of our group to embark for there. There are other colonies and nations calling for able-bodied men of our group to "come over in Macedonia and help us." Assurances of freedom and justice are given. Industrial leaders of the North are saying: "We cannot do without the Colored men; with thousands of foreigners going back to their native land, the Colored worker is our only resort." Numerous delegations from the South are touring the North, using every possible means and inducement to get the Negro workmen to return South, for lumber camp, cotton field, trades and general usefulness. The employment Bureau of Richmond, Va., as well as many other Southern communities, have sent out the S. O. S. for help. It is plain to be seen that our group is the most important economic factor in the industrial world today. What is the answer to the invitations stay? Is it better to bear theseills to leave America? Shall we go or that we have, than to fly to those we know not of? We are put to the test, and the greatest care of judgment must be exercised. The destiny of unborn generations, as well as our immediate "life," liberty and pursuit of happiness, depend on the decisions now made. Whatever may be finally determined, will be for the purpose of having life, life more abundantly; the unhampered opportunity to grow to full manhood, and a feeling of security from the crowd and the mob.
