KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dec. 18—Second Baptist Church, 10th & Charlotte street, held a crowd on last Sunday afternoon which was a test of its capacity. The occasion was the funeral of James P. Maynard, who had been for more than thirty years a representative citizen and fraternal leader in this section of the West. The services were connected by the Grand Lodge Knights of Friars, of Missouri, and the anglers of Lily Lodge, No. 8, K of P of this city, of which the deceased was the founder and a charter member. The impressive and simple grandeur of the occasion has never been equaled by any financial service conducted over the remainder of a Negro leader of this place, except in the demonstration attending the burial of the late Bishop Abram Grant, who died here a few years ago. Every department of the Order, the Grand Lodge, the subordinate lodges, the Uniform Rank and the Courts of Calantane, sustained a distinct loss in the demise of James P. Maynard, and each of these divisions of the organization expressed their sorrow and regret in fitting slogues and memorials. From all quarters of the state, and from many points outside of the state, came telegrams, letters and resolutions of coindance, each bearing its titular message of grief, expressing affection, deference, warmth and love, almost every instance relating some specific act of service rendered by the deceased which had touched the hearts of and had been beneficial to the reconstitute. Preparations for the funeral were in charge of the Grand Lodge, the deceased, at the time of his death, being the sitting Past Grand Chancellor. L. A. Knox, Grand Attorney, was assigned early last week by Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd to take charge of the arrangements. At 1:30 o'clock, one thousand sub-codage lodge members, with the 12 Regiment Uniform Rank, K. of F. Col. D. A. Bife, commanding, acting as an escort, and led by the 21 Regiment Band of fifty-six pieces, left the K. of P. Hall, 14th street and Michigan Avenue, and Woodland avenge the funeral cottages as it moved from the residence, 2012 Olive street, to the church. On arrival at the church the Knights were met, by the Order of Calanthe and the bodies united marched in behind the casket and family, and filled the main floor of the church, the edifice downnairs having been reserved for them. The balcony had been filled by sorrowing and waiting the arrival of the bier and as soon as completed every available seat was occupied. During the four hours required for the rendering of the services the vast audience set with an attitude of relevant attention, the hush and solemnity indicating the respect which a person present had brought to the occasion. Not only was there scattered throughout the entire church men and women in the State, but upon the rostrum sat Grand Lodge officers representing the Grand Jurisdictions of both Missouri and Kansas. Upon the rostrum were Grand Chancellor A. W. Hoyt, of Missouri; Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson, of Kansas; Past Grand Chancellor F. W. Dabney, of Missouri; Past Grand Chancellor I. H. Anthony, M. D., of Kansas; Grand Keeper of Records and Seal of Patronage; Arthur Robinson, of Missouri; Grand Attorney L. A. Kano, of Missouri; and Supreme, Representative William J. Thompson, M.

After the Chicago race begins at the bottom of the bottom, but a vast amount of doubt remains as to this. However, since those spectacular events, it is plain enough that the class war people are getting more active than they were. Their efforts are encouraged by actions of the Labor Party in Detroit, Mich., recently refusing equal representation to the Negro. At its convention here a short while ago the Socialist Party had a resolution devoted to the Negroes, and determined to send organizers among them. In comment, Adolph Germer said that the Socialist Party had hereafter done some work among the Negroes and at this convention had realized its former action. He added North and entering into competition with the white men, he was becoming a greater factor industrially than ever before. The I. W., W., are getting out another pamphlet for the Negro, said Thomas Whitehead, general secretary- Three west-end St. Louisans have been arrested and there is rumor that a number of more will be involved on account of the systematized automobiles and their owners. Dr. C. A. Hancock, and Cy Williams, a mechanic, are the men who have been arrested. Williams has made a concession in which he states that Mann employed him to remodel stolen automobiles, repair them at engine numbers, repaint them at engine numbers, and enable by their owners. He enumerated five automobiles which he said were stolen by Mann. Three have been recovered. Dr. Hancock is charged in the confession with paying $250 for a Buick car which had been stolen. Williams mentions others as having stolen the car taken was a Ford, the prophet Rev. Geo. E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist Church. Mann and Hancock were released on bail but both were rearrested Wednesday in connection with the hold-up and robbery of W. Curtis Hancock and the hold. The authorities have made that there will be sensational developments before the case has been cleaned up. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION There will be a grand celebration of the emancipation of the American Negro. Monday evening, Oct 12th, at the St. Paul Baptist Church, 19th and Morgan SKa. This promises to be one of the greatest events that has ever been staged by the race. The opening chorus "Battle Hymn of the Republic" will be composed of the various church choirs of the city. Able speakers of the city will appear on the program. Rev. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., who represents three million Baptists, is expected to be present. The city will be represented by his honor, Mayor Kiel and the Honorable John M. Schmoll, chairman of the City Committee. All fraternal organizations are requested to committees of arrangements: J. J. Cheefus, chairman; T. H. Harris, J. J. Jones, W. A. Crowder, H. M. Clark, B. E. Stokes, secretary. Perhaps the most important conference affecting Negroes in this country will be held on October 15th, through the 18th at Detroit, Mich. This conference is being called the National Urban League to discuss industrial problems brought about largely because of the Negroes' new position in the industrial world. Prominent white and Colored speakers, who are involved in Negroes' welfare and who are thoroughly conversant with industrial problems will be present. Social workers, ministers teachers, doctors, and publishers, and all who are interested in the wage earning Negro should avail themselves of this unusual opportunity to be present to hear the important discussions. MOLDUP MEN MURDER THE PRO- PRIETOR OF BRUN&WICK BAR. Charles Madison. 1425 Finney avenue, proprietor of the Brunswick Bar, 1925 Market street, died early Sunday morning from gunshot wounds inflicted by holdup men at 5 p. m. Saturday. Madison is said to have driven to Jewls place to get some whiskey in him and had more than $400 up his pocket. He fell farther than his auto and the chauffeur heard three shots. He says Madison returned to the car, saying, "I am shot; rush me to the hospital." He was first taken home, then to the hospital where he died. The funeral was held Thursday at 2 p. m. from the residence. His father, George Madison of Dresden, sixteen, Mrs Rachel Harding of Wittenberg, and brother, John Madison of Chicago, Ohio, attended the funeral. Mr Madison rised and was interested in an uncle taking establishment in St. Louis. Published In The Interest Of Colored People treasurer, in addition to one already out. Mr. Whitehad said, however, that the I. W. W. were not making any special drive through the Negroes, and for one reason, that they are not easy to work with. Mr. Whitehad again, Mr. Whitehad said, they make their appeal to the Negro just the same as to any other workman. They do not fall to mention him in their literature and their speakers never neglect to address themselves to him. The I. W. W. attitude toward the Negro was further enlarged upon by the I. W. W. executive when he said that the I. W. W. were interested in making the Negro standpoint that when they found the Negro in an industry they make an appeal to him there. If they were going to make a drive from the race standpoint, they would have to go to the South and in the South they have found it quite difficult to organize either the white man or the Negro. The women in South contributed to the I. W. W. are slower to organize than in any other part of the country. He said the I. W. W. were working on the theory that if they can get the white man organised industrially the Negro will come in. They did not take to organization as readily as the foreigner. FEDERAL TROOPS TO STOP RIOTS Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 8.—One of the most significant moves by the government to check the fall epidemic, nanking and race riots was the sending of Federal Troops to Omaha under command of General Leonard Wood, to protect the people and restore order. Secretary of War Baker has issued an order to the effect that commanding generals at the various army centers may send Federal troops wherever riot disturbances occur within their districts, providing there is a request for them by the proper local authority to take action and an effect on sobering radical minds; various communities in helping bring about conditions of peace and harmony.

"BLACK STAR LINE" PROMOTER IN TROUBLE By Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 8.—Marcus Garvey, aid of the so-called "Black Star Line," who came to Chicago to sell stock and "show-up," one of the local newspapers, has met with serious obstacles in his plans.

ARMOUR & CO. TAKE COLORED WORKMEN TO ST. PAUL PLANT Associated Negro Press ST. PAUL, Minn. Oct. 8.—The proposed importation to St. Paul of 1590 Negro workmen at; the new Armor plant, has resulted in the appointment of a committee by the St. Paul Association housing workers to consider the problem. The fact that one of the strong underlying causes of the recent rise rates in Chicago was due to no small extent to the housing situation has prompted the action of taking up the question here in advance. Negro citizens in St. Paul are taking a strong interest in the satisfactory arrangements of housing the large urban Alberts, member of the housing committee of the St. Paul Association, has taken on the work. A. M. E. BISHOPS SEND MEMORIAL TO U.S. CONGRESS NEW YORK, N. J., Oct. 8.-Signs of the times are disheartful in an unusual definal embolized in a memorial which has been sent to Congress by six Negro blahops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Pettitioning the memorial, the recent race riots in Washington, Chicago and Knoxville, the blahops warn the Congress that the temper of the Negro of today is not what it was a half century or a some years ago, and that "death is preferable to a state halt way between slavery and freedom." In their memorial the blahops to illustrate their warning, quote a poem which is deemed significant in view of the frequent assertions that have been made concerning the circulation of Belahevist and other radical propaganda among the Negro poem, published in the December issue of magazine published by Negroes in this city, is entitled "If We Must Die" and reads as follows: "If we Must die let it not be like hogs. Hunted and penned in an anglorious spot. While round us bark the mud and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, oh, let us nude body. So that our precious blood may not be bled. In vain; then even the monsters we Shall be constrained to honor us, though dead! Oh, kinsmen, we must meet the common foe. Thus the countnumbered, let us still be brave. And for their thousand blows deal one death blow What though before us lies the open grave Like men well face the murdeous, cowardly pack Pressed to the wall, dying, but lighting back. The bishop together with three lay officials of the church comprise the commission On After-War Problems. They explain the million of their race. After quoting the poem the Memorial proceeds to state: "Though the poem is the production of a West Indian Negro a native of Jamaica, it nevertheless reflects the conviction of a large group of American citizens of Africa descent—groups who fear that death is prefered to hate half way between liberty and freedom. This group has sworn by the blood of their kinsmen who fall on the battle field of France, in a death grip with the loe, to help make the world safe for democracy, that they will no longer timely submit to a denial of the rights guaranteed them by the National Constitution. To make it easier to press to make diligent inquiry as to the underlying cause of the race rids at Washington, D. C. Chicago, IL, and Knoxville, Teen, with the view of formulating such suggestions for adoption by the people as in your judgment, may prove a safeguard against similar outbreaks in the future, and to make the determination of a more friendly relationship between the races. The memorial is crowned by the following bishops: Chase S. Smith, Detroit; Joseph S. Plipper, Atlanta; J. Albert Johnson, Baltimore; William H. Heard, Jackson; Misty J. John Hurst, Philadelphia; Pelle, Columbian; S. C. also Richard R. Wright, Jr.; Savannah editor of the Christian Recorder of the A. M. E. Church; Arthur S. Jackson, Waco, Tex.; secretary of education, A. M. E. Church and John R. Hawkins, Washington, financial secretary, A. M. E. Church. The foregoing are issued there have been outbreaks and riot in Omaha, Neb.; Council Hull Ia.; Helena, Ark.; and one or two other places. COLORED MEN SHUT OUT OF S. CAROLINA AMERICAN LEGION Associated Negro Press COLUMBIA, S. C. — There are no Negro members of the American Legion of South Carolina, and there will be gone for some time, certainly until the meeting of the State Convention to be held in Columbia, accorded the headquarters.

JIM CROW BILL NOT TO PASS WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11. *Mforts of Representative Madden of Illinois, and a group of Chicago Negroes to induce the Interstate Committee of the House to incorporate a measure abolishing the Crow law in the southern states will prove barren of result. Not only have numerous members of the Committee expressed themselves as opposed to attempting any such legislation, but Chairman Buch in a statement, has unquestionably declared himself as against any such radical procedure. Each said, the right of Congress to eliminate the Jim Crow laws of the states is certainly debatable, and added that even granting Congress to possess this right in its control of interstate commerce under the Constitution, such a law would only serve to raise a great controversy in the states affected. Chairman Each says there should be an interstate commission to serve a certain number of officers on payment of like fare, but beyond requiring like services and adequate cars and equipment for Negroes, he does not believe anything will be done by Congress. Members of the House declare positively, there will be no attempt most to eliminate the "Jim Crow" laws in the Southern states, and they declare that the Negroes will be denied and his Negro friend at a time when the race question is regarded acutely, throughout the country.

Camouflaged Scheme To Hide Real Cause Of Dissatisfaction Among The Colored Citizens. (To the St. Louis Argus) BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT Helga, Ark., Oct. 17. That he has been much said about a race riot, which occurred near this city last week. Press reports, given the public are a "Jungling of facts." The truth of the trouble has been scarcely touched in high places. Your special correspondent visited the community where the trouble started and found that a black man was in the matter of protecting their home. The alleged uprising among the Negroes and plots to kill the whites, was nothing more than a certain class of white men in the community, having been given to understand that they must let the Negro women alone. The whole trouble started when a colored man was about a white man and this white brought in a "bogus" officer to arrest and helped him whip the Negro man. As a result, the surrup was killed, who proved to be a railroad foreman. Reinforcements were recruited by the Negroes tried to protect them. Dead and Wounded The community around Hoop Spar looks like a waste howling wilderness. Few homes escaped, the casualty list, with many dead in evidence, probably many of whom the general public will never hear. The exhibition white men have herebefore virtually forced women upon the colored women with a disparity, but "old time" is telling a different story now. Negro men are determined to break it up at all cost. From the reports in the daily press there have been many conflicting stories about the affair, all of which were to keep the real truth from the public. It is true, however, that the Negroes are getting closer together, but not to the whites. It is a matter of self-protection in the story about a certain Negro going through the country organizing an insurrection is cannonflage. Only Two Questions at Issue There are two questions that greatly concern the whites in this section of the country at present: one is how he is to hold on to his Negro mistress the other is how he is to get into the former is like pulling a huge tooth while to get into the latter is his daily schenching. Because lodges are secret such meetings have become an eye-sore to the whites, who charge that lodges are breeders of crime and have advised kill of the Negroes to stay away from everything that is said among Negroes and try to act the part of a guardian angel for the Negroes. There seems to be a general anti Negro-lodge propaganda through the South, and in some places the whites have attempted to place sheriffs in the Negro lodge room during the meeting. This has had the effect of helping on the part of the best and the most respected Negroes in the South. The troops sent here were seen to help kill the Negroes and shooting at fleeing victims, seemed to be royal sport. Of course, their mission was a one-sided affair. They insulted Negro women and abused and assaulted Negroes. Wants Truth to Get a Hearing. The Negroes are very anxious for the public to know the real truth of the conditions as they exist in the South generally. The daily newspapers could help the whole situation by telling the truth. Most of their correspondents color their news to suit common white people of their community, which is hard for them to get a hearing where the Negro or his rights are involved. NICK CHILES SCORES SOUTHERN WHITES Norte lateral Negro Przez TOPKEA Kana Dei 8-400 Nick Chiles, well-known author of the *Topkea Plain Dealer*, must feel very much better after getting a better out of his system to live. Holder of Austin, Tex. who praised rather than condemned the treatment given L. R. Shiloh, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Editor Chiles infers that southern people cannot expect that the Negro will stand for this treatment without rescuing it. Everybody black and white must obey and respect the same laws. He says. If the white man can do whatever things and nothing is done about it who cannot Colorize them do the same thing. The Colored man could have wayward and assassinated the class of white men he suspected of contaguing his audience as the white men did. I lumbering on the object about which much of the serious trouble in the South arises, Chiles says. You know it is a fact in Texas and all over the South, white men are cohabiting with men of color, men of color, men of color, and raising families with mothers and mothers and a colored man loosely crowded at a white woman in your people are ready to lynch him and burn him. You know that the race is being mixed so much in the South that you can hardly distinguish one from the other. The mixed Colored people are going North marrying into the race, and their race is returning into the white race so you see the southern white man is reaping what he sows, and we fully believe there are thousands of white people in the South with Colored blood coursing their veins and don't know it, at the same time they are coursing and are coursing people from the edge line.

Subject: "Divine discontent as an attribute to Christian character." The sermon was scholarly, instructive, inspiring. King David and his people were surrounded by enemies. In his extremity he craved the protection of God. It was a day when civilization had gone mad over many Gods. The people were asleep to their privileges and opportunities and needed to be awakened to the knowledge of one God. The same condition exists today. The whole nation is mad over many Gods. A deadly conflict is going on between man until the Apostles Creed, which is the foundation of our faith, is put into practice, peace will not be established. There were six accessions in the morning. The evening service was well attended and the worshipers well repaid, as the pastor delivered another strong sermon.

There is some real raudeville with a punk on the bill at the Booker Washington Theatre this week and the pajamas are enjoying a rare treat. Clifford Ross, a humorous monologist and singer, with a good voice, is a star entertainer. In "The Vamp" he characterizes, an African in female burlesque, and makes a big-bit. Boykins and Green, two men, have a round of hilarity which goes over well. One of their number, "There is Some One More Lonesome.Than You," spores an enclosure. They close with an imitation trombone and comedy duo, amid applause. Bart Kennett and Company in alight of hand magic, are a success in the mystic art. Mr. Kennett does several clever tricks with cards, handkerchiefs, coins and various instruments. He adds just enough comedy to give pep to the act and gets many big hands. Gonzella White and Mr. Langford close the bill. Miss White is a St. Louis girl and has developed into an actress of stellar quality. Her artistic expression, excellent tonal ability and grace are winning the audience this week. Miss White is also being heard for the first time on a saxophone, and does well. Mr. Langford is also a tal-ented singer and their offerings are filled with delightful harmony. "Sweet Daddy," their closing piece, is presented in a most artistic manner. The act is of "big time" quality. NEXT WEEK. A classy vaudeville bill has been booked for next week at the Booker Washington Theatre. It will include Adams and Mazey, Smith and Butler, Julian Costello, Daunveor and Daunveor. All are acts of the highest class and the show should be another one of artistic brilliance. "PAID IN ADVANCE" AT THE JEST-A-MERE. Dorothy Phillips, in "Paid in Advance," will be the offering at the Jesta-more Theatre this Sunday and Monday. Miss Phillips is seen as Joan Gray, a daughter of Canada, who is enticed to Dawson City, Kloondike, during the gold rush to the Klondike in 1897. She and her father, have been promised fabulous salaries to leave their home and come to Dawson City, Joan to nurse the miners and her father to handle the fur buying for the community. Her father dies during the long journey, leaving the girl alone to fight out with Gold Dust Barker his demand that she choose him or the crowd that frequented the gambling hell and saloon owned by him. Distillation, immediately on her arrival, she tries to avoid both him and the crowd, but the decision is forced upon her and in desperation she offers herself in marriage to the highest bidder. Jim Blood, a drunken miner, wins. The story teems with dramatic situations which are amplified to the full extent by the players. The photography is rich with the scenery of the fur trading country and the white grandeur of a Yukon winter. Pauline Frederick in "The Fear Woman will be at the Star Theatre this Saturday," "The Mayor of Filbert" will be shown on Sunday. "The Fear Woman" is a drama of modern anxiety with a soul-stirring message for you and me. Full of tense situations, thrills, romance, soul-scilling fear and finally complete happiness that is richly deserved. "The Mayor of Fulbert" is a gripping story dealing with the hopes and aspirations of politicians and reformers. Florence Reed's great sensational photo-play entitled "Today" will be shown at the Comet Theatre on Saturday, October 11, direct from a successful week run down town. Other photo-play at the Comet are Dorothy Phillips in "Dostoy," on Sunday, Oct. 12. Theda Bara in her newest and greatest production, under the amateur director of Wm. Fox, entitled "Labelle House," will be shown on Thursday, Oct. 16.

Equal in importance to the Colored people of St Louis, was the Colored Velled Prophet's Ball at Jazzland Tuesday evening, October 7, with that of the V. P. Ball at the Coliseum His Royal Highness, Ros Menelik, arrived in St Louis on scheduled time first paying a visit to the Booker Washington Theatre, where he occupied a box and divided honors with a splendid and exceptionally well-balanced vaudeville bill. From the Booker Washington theatre, H. R. H., in his motor lorry, drove through the section in the vicinity of Jazzland, viewed by admiring throngs. At 10 p. m., with a blaze of trumpets and a crash of cymbals, he entered Jazzland. He was attired in gorgeous ralment, beating his royal station, and mingled with his happy subjects, after sitting in state on the musicians' balcony, that he might choose a Queen. Never had a man a more difficult task. It would have been much easier to have crowned a hundred Queens, than to have picked out one from the multitude of handsome gowned, beautiful ladies; and vicing with the ladies, in numbers and appearance, were the gentlemen. Every line of endeavor, professional, commercial and artistic, as well as every strata of colored society, was heavily represented. All blended into one great big jolly, good mature mob. Promptly at 1 p. m., H. R. H. commanded his subjects to assemble on the dance floor and ascend. John C. Lewis, the Prophet, Mr. John C. Lewis of the Twentieth Century Club, was the Velled Prisoner and most royally did he act the part Miss Rosetta Cabell, Queen He seleted Miss Rosetta Cabell as the Queen. It was a most popular choice, as evidenced by the thunderous applause accompanying the coronation. The Mails of Honor were Miss Goree Holt, Miss Etta.Cade, Miss Lois Hardy, Miss Edith Smith, Miss Lucy Esau and Miss Georgia Shelton. Will Hold a Leaves.

The Argus did not have a lady reporter.on the scene to describe the gowns, which were charming in the extreme. There were many out of town visitors in evidence, among them being a delegation from Southern Illinois, headed by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Mills of Carbondale. All enjoyed the toothsome dishes, for which Jazzland has become famous; also, the delightful music and splendid dance floor. The Queen's reception, to be held at Jazzland on Tuesday, Oct. 21, gives promise of being as big as, if not even eclipsing, the V. P. ball. Y.W.C.A.

Not only is he in a position as a public official to see and know at first hand the value of Publicity, but he is the owner of one of the best established daily newspapers in the country, and a journalist of unusual distinction. The efforts of alarmed southern congressmen to impede the progress and handicap the wonderfully growing influence of our periodicals have met with disfavor both in Congress and at the instance of President Wilson. The field is wide open to strike the blow for Liberty through the powerful medium of Publicity, and we must "take the current when it serves." Publicity is expensive, but properly directed, yields returns far in excess of the investment. There is room for every newspaper now published, but there must be unity of purpose and unity of action. Fifteen years ago, it was the exceptional home that received its Race newspaper each week; five years ago it was the average home; today, the average home receives not only one Race periodical, but usually two or more, and the exceptional home, office, store, the schools and churches and libraries, receive from six to more than a score. This is Progress: this is Success. But we have a long way to go. True, in thousands of instances, the remotest cabins in the distant hills receive their newspapers now, and the occupants read them religiously. Through the magnificent advantage of the Associated Negro Press, all important happenings of the race are known regularly in every section of the nation, and by all classes. But there are yet thousands of homes into which our newspapers must go; there are millions of dollars spent with firms that should be induced to advertise in our periodicals, in a spirit of reciprocity, and to enable publishers to meet the heavy expense of adequate publicity, as do the daily newspapers. IN THESE* CRUCIAL DAYS OF THE ACID TEST, EVERY READER OF EVERY NEWSPAPER SHOULD MAKE HIMSELF, OR HERSELF AN UNTIRING AGENT AND COMMITTEE OF ONE TO SEE THAT THESE NEEDS ARE BROUGHT TO PASS. WE HAVE THE ENEMIES OF JUSTICE ON THE RUN, AND STEADY FIRE WILL BRING THEIR WATERLOO. ONWARD! Black and White Agxin. (Chicago, IL., Herald-Examiner.) One Negro was killed and two were injured this week in a fight with whites in the heart of the Negro section. In Chicago? No. In New York. Because our time of rioting is over, some people think the sky is clear again. No idea could be more foolish. So long as we have discrimination, unfair treatment, a feeling of brooding injustice between white men and Negroes, we shall have a burning fuse on its way to high explosive. New York mocked Chicago for its race rits. We do not mock New York. The problem is too serious and too imminent for anything but the most painful consideration. How shall we convince the Negro, who fought for his country and saw a million of his race serving her colors, the truth for it is the truth, that his country wants him, needs him, and is unified in its urgent desire for his welfare? Selling the People. (Rochester, N. Y. Democrat) Whenever a Negro is lynched on any charge or for any pretent generally the news is carried in every paper in the land. Therefore from these reports of somewhere from fifty to a hundred lynchings a year—far too large a number, of course, too large by whatever the total may be—we are liable to get a distorted idea of the situation. For there is an other side to the Negro question. There are thousands and thousands of instances showing how the race is progressing in a most commendable manner, and countless cases in which material aid in the advancement is furnished by the white people among whom the Negroes' lot is cast. This is true even in the South where most of the lynchings occur. Sometimes this side of the matter gets into print, but the greater part of it, usually remains merely a matter of local knowledge. Negro Democrats. The New York Age, a newspaper published and edited by Negroes in an editorial article commenting on the primaries lately held in New York state. "It is significant that the Democrats have for the first time in the history of the party recognised the expediency of nominating a Colored candidate for the Legislature." The assertion could, not be made truly outside of New York. Between 1876 and 1890, Negroes were nominated and elected to the General Assembly of South Carolina in at least four counties, Colleton, Orangeburg, Charleston and was believe, Barnwell in Charleston and Orangeburg Mextres and Jones, respectively, were re-elected four or five times. Negroes were also elected by the Democrats in those days sometimes to either of offices, an coroner and county commissioner. The election of Negroes to office was discontinued with the general adoption of the white primary. While Negroes are not admitted to the White Democratic primaries in South Carolina now, it is not impossible that, some of them would be if they should prove themselves, first to be Democrats. In other words, if some thousands of respectable Negro citizens scattered about the State would vote the Democratic ticket for the general elections once or twice, taking pain to do so openly and to establish in that the way the evidence that they were Democrats, it would be rather difficult later for the State Democratic convention to keep the party's door closed to them. It will be remembered that Negroes who voted for Hampton in 1876 and could prove it were allowed to vote in the primaries. A CASE FOR CONGRESS. (Albany, N. Y., Knickerbocker Press) The other day in Memphis, Tenn. a Negro operating an automobile ran into a group of children. None of the children were injured but it did not take two minutes for a molt of angry white men to have a noose around the Negro's throat, and when a white man suggested that the law be allowed to take its course the civic spirit of the city which has more murders to the square inch than any other in the world was so aroused that it thirty seconds the rope was transferred from the Negro's neck to that of the white man. Sometimes we think that every man in Memphis carries a rope as part of his outdoor costume. Anyway the police arrived, and the Negro was locked up on a charge of criminal carelessness, while the white man who had attempted to speak a word for the law was "held in the city jail in connection with another alleged offense," as the euphmetical Associated Press will have it—meaning doubtless, that he was accused of attempted suicide. Is it about time for the civilization of the United States to take cognizance of the fact that the controlling sentiment of the southern states is in favor of mob lawlessness and mob murder? The protests of decent southern whites are of no account; if they were, there would not have been forty-seven public murders by mobs since the first of the year, besides the burning alive of eight individuals, and innumerable minor cases of outrageous assault—the whole list being augmented by daily instances. This is a case for Congress. The best face the south can put upon its predicament is to say that it is not rich enough to police itself. And when any Anglo-Saxon community is not able to enforce the Anglo-Saxon conceptions of law and right, it should be willing to submit to the interference of neighbors who cannot afford, for their own sakes, to permit those conceptions to go into the junk heap. Jlm Crow Practice (Help) (Help) (Macon, Ga., Telegraph) Perhaps Congressman Madden of Illinois, the chief white prophet of the Negro element in the North that so bitterly resents segregation of races because it so bitterly resents its own Negro blood, might retire as an authority on the best fashion for races to get along together and leaves that to the section of the country where they do get along together, and do it fairly well. Citizenship and forth and so on has nothing to do with segregation, and the person from Illinois, the homes of the "freest," but most exploited and locally hated Negro element in existence, is serving merely to win and hold the big and controlling Negro vote in his own district.

WILLIAMS, Treas In the South the races are separated in public conveyances and residential sections because they are different races and it-is found they get along better that way. That is the reason for it. The Negro would be uncomfortable and unhappy trying to sit in street cars beside white people he respected and the white people simply wouldn't do it; the same way with residences and the theatres and hotels. The easy and natural solution of it all is segregation where both races to their own ways, suit themselves and live in close contact with an absolute minimum of friction. There could, of course, be plenty of argument brought to bear why this isn't or shouldn't be so. The only thing in its favor is that it works splendidly and all other schemes don't. That is why it is now and always will be observed and enforced in the South cancelsides of all the desperate and declaiming statements from constituencies in the North where they must truckle to Negro votes or get out of office—Madden, by the way furnishing in that connection an illuminating commentary on the oft-repeated assertion that all the Negro wants is "political" equality and nothing else.

It has been stated, especially by Southernns, that Negro leaders and those who have endeavored to help the Negros cause in America so that right and justice may be his portion along with the other groups of citizens do not devote enough of their time and efforts in condemning and preventing crime among Negroes, and this charge against the leaders and friends of our race is based on a false assumption prompted by race prejudice. tion prompted by face prejudice. If there is any person or persons in the United States who think or assume that the Negro is so instinctively criminal that it is necessary for the leaders of the race to form organizations throughout the country to teach him to obey the laws of the land, they are badly mistaken. We, the leaders among our race, and those who have helped our cause do not condone crime committed by white or black, and we naturally hate to hear of a crime committed by those whom we are trying to help, but we do not see why the crimes of one class should be magnified and the other class considered as a matter of course. We deny that the Negro is any more a criminal than any other class or group which make up the people of this country. All we ask is a fair trial. We do not hide or attempt to hide the criminals among us. All we ask is equal justice before the law. A prosecuting officer of St. Louis said: "Not half of the colored men and youths who are sentenced would be convicted if they were properly represented before the courts of this city. If that is the case in St. Louis, God help the colored men, women and children who come before the courts of the South. This accounts for the penal institutions of the land being the abiding place for so many of We are fighting lawwherever we see it; we are fighting lawlessness wherever it seeks to trample the law under its feet, just as every good, true and loyal American citizen should do. Yet we feel that we are peculiarly interested in these things because it is the members of our race who are victims of crime and lawlessness. We have sinned against more than we have sinned. THE GEORGIA LYNCHING According to press reports, a leaching party down in Georgia had killed two Negroes and had six more in custody to follow if their passions had not been satisfied. pass. The charge against these Negroes was that someone had killed a Deputy Sheriff who, no doubt, was abusing and exceeding his authority. The cause or the extenuating circumstances or the provocation are never taken into consideration by the lawless elements. Whether the other four paid the death penalty at the mobs the mob we have been unable to learn. But we have every reason to believe they did and the facts have been kept from the public, as the people in Georgia have done before. ALIENS AND REDS. It is charged that "Aliens and Reds" are responsible for the outbreaks and strikes that are quite prevalent in the land just now.

HOGS NEARLY CAUSE A RACE RIOT Associated Negro Press VINENA, Ga. Oct. 6—Sections trouble was garrisonly averted here as a result of a herd of bugs, the property of a white farmer, trespassing on the premises of a Negro who farmed on the land adjoining. The affair occurred in the northwest section of the country. According to the statements of reliable parties the trouble started when the Negro, who is reported to be the abiding, hard working man, requested out of his fields where they were destroying the corn. It seems that this was not done, and the hogs continued to visit the fields. The Negro forthwith attempted to run them out, using sticks, rocks, etc., as wrestlers. NOMINATED TO THE N. J.

Her, Venerable Questions City Marshall About His Candidate for Sheriff Says, "My Hat In In the Ring." Dr. W. A. Venerable, Chaplain of the American Cabin, put some pointed questions to our popular City Marshall, Charles E. Mohlstadt, at the latter's office in the Municipal Building Wednesday a.m. Mohstadt, originally a coal merchant, won the grace of the Negroes by trusting them in the winter to pay their coal bills in the summer. He went from the coal business to the office of constable, where, by reason of a square deal to "all alike," Mohstadt became more popular with all classes. He was subsequently elected to the House of Delegates, where he made a splendid record for justice and fair play, all the time making more friends, especially among the Colored and the poor. So strong was he that when a capstone candidate was wanted for City Hall, he served four years with such marked distinction that at the end of the term, when the office of Marshall was by legislation made one of appointment, Mayor Kiel with credit to himself, said to Marshall Mohstadt "Well done, good and faithful servant." Keep the place until the City of St. Louis says "come up higher." When asked by Dr. Venerable if he would be a candidate for the office of Sheriff to succeed the present incumbent. Mohstadt replied in the political lore made classic by the "one man": "My hat is in the ring." Asked what claim he had on the public for further and higher honor, the Marshall stood up, pointing east, said, "all of my private and public record." "How many of my people did you find in the Marshall's department when you were honored with that post?" I fooded Colored men at the office. "Did you consider this the shar for the black role?" asked Dr. Venerable. "I knew you people should have at least three, so I appointe three." "Did they prove worthy?" "All of them proved very capable." "Will you be as fair to all the people in the event of your election to the office of Sheriff." The Marshall smiled earnestly, then said: "History repeats itself, so will I. I expect to live and die fair to everybody." Dr. Venerable campaigned the state in the primary and for the election of Senator Spencer. He will interview at least one other candidate for sheriff. CHURCHES OF CHRIST MOVE FOR EQUAL JUSTICE NEW YORK, N. F., Oct. 8—A call to the citizens of the United States to obtain economic and community justice for the Negro has just been traced by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The race question was discussed by representative Negro citizens from all states and recently in this city at the call of the secretary of the Home Missiones Council. As a result it was decided to start a campaign among the churches of the Country to combat the present strained relations between the races and a statement was issued by Frank Mason North, president of the Federal Council; Albert Lawson, Chairman; William Lawson, Chairman; and Committee on Negro Churches and Charles H. MacFarland, general secretary. MISSISSIPPI-ALABAMA FAIR MERIDIAN, Miss.

Mr. Mar- ward was not only a consistent Christian gentleman, but he was a sound and wise adviser. When quite a boy he was removed from Tennessee to the State of Kentucky. About the year 1850, being imbued with the teaching of Greelow, "Young Man, Go West," he migrated to Atchison, Kansas, where he resided until about 1889, at which time he removed to Kansas City, where he resided until his death. Mr. reached the highest point. Pritahan He was a member of LJly Lodge No. 80 the oldest body in Kansas City, of the Grand Lodge of Missouri and the Supreme Lodge K of P. N. A., S. A., E. A. and A. His great work was the upbuilding of Pythianism. He was too, no less devoted to the things that meant the general uplift of his people. He was a public-spirited man, and was beloved by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his loss three nieces and three nephews, and one brother of friends as well as the men membership of the Pythian family of Kansas City, Mo., and the whole brotherhood. The diary designs were many and elaborate. An empty chair gives a the Kaiser City Lodge. A shield in blue, with red jumpsuit, stands on the subordinate ladder. Louis and a victor's wreath, the tribute of Prudhams Court No. 161 Kansas City, were among those most elaborately expressive, but by no means did they constitute the greater part of the local offering.

Maynard, of Kansas City, last week removes one of the old members of the Order in Missouri, and the oldest Pythian in Kansas City. For more than a quarter of a century James P. Maynard had been the most active Pythian. Not only in Kansas City, but in northwestern Missouri. He worked faithfully and most alone to plan the Pythian barber in his home, the *Kaw*. And to hold the credit for old Lily No. 1, holding her own until the order finally secured a permanent and lasting footing in Kansas City. When it tried "men's souls," to stand up and talk Pythianism, James P. Maynard stood "dumon like," contending for the principles so dear to every Pythian—Friendship, Charity and Nehemiah. He was always faithful and trusty; he lived as Pythians are taught to live—Dobing noble things for humanity, not dreaming of loneliness, not life, death and being a grand sweet song. Boudreau Maynard could not be classed among the professional rank of our brotherhood, but he was like Pythias, a "plain blunt" man, ready at any and all times to go to the rescue of a friend. He loved his Lodge next to his God and was truly devoted to the uplift of humanity and the promotion of the great principles of Pythian Kailighand. In his moral life he was clear, accurate and committed to the mission of the Great Lodge. was ever ready for constructive legislation and progressive policies. To know him was to admire him for his manly virtues. In his passing the Pythianis of Kansas City have lost a true and enterprising brother, while the Pythianis of Missouri and the Grand Lodge have lost a prominent, faithful, faithful friend. He was the father of the resolution adopted by the recent Grand Lodge at St. Louis, to build a $75,000 Pythian Temple in Kansas City and was a member of the Grand Lodge committee at the time of his death. Brother Maynard loved the Knights of Pythian for the great principles that it teaches—"Friendship, Charity and Behevidence." He precepted, and exemplified these principles in his letters, which He had long since learned that "Damou and Pythian" "you should never leave a friend." Brother Jas. P. Maynard is no more. He will not respond when his name is called as P. G. C. next Jas. but we hope to meet him in a united brotherhood sharing the blessings of eternal life. "Servant of mankind well done!"

Jean Boileau Further Defends French Girls And American Negroes BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 1.—The fine testimonial of Jean Bioteau, a Frenchman, in behalf of the women of his nation, has caused universal comment, and in a further communication, M. Bioteau says, "While I do not intend to be drawn into a prolonged discussion concerning the American and the French girls, I will comment upon a letter in your Forum of the 11th instant, written by Matelot, in which he takes issue with my letter which appeared in your paper of the 11th. I did not intend my statement aent the Senegales in the first battle of the Marne to be so construed as to underrate the great part played by the gallant and brave poliu. What I say and what history will say is, that the African colonials were the decisive factors in stemming the great German wave in the first battle of the Marne. The Senegales hurled the boches back across the Oureq and the Marne on a ghastly bridge of their own dead. There is an unlimited amount of praise for all. And due credit to the black men does not discredit other men. The whole world heard Germany's protest when the "African hories" were turned loose against them. And German soldiers do not object to fighting against cowards. But the question of merits or demi-rites is merely incidental to my main purpose for writing the letter in question. My main and only object was to expose what I honestly believe to be the real reason back of the much criticism of my countrywomen, namely their failure to discriminate against Colored Americans in accordance with the intense wish and persistent persuasion of the white Americans. They refuse to give a favorable and believing ear to the various anti-Negro tales told them in print and by word of mouth. Because they went out of their way to extend to the generous and unfondling their hearty welcome they became the object of much criticism and ridicule by the white Americans. Such generous treatment is in accordance with the spirit and character of French women. They could not treat the Colored Americans otherwise. I have before be a clipping of a letter from your Forum bearing the date of July 21, signed by "Matelot." I presume that the writer of this letter is identical with the writer of the one to which I am replying. This letter is pregnant with falsehoods concerning French women's attitude toward American Negroes. For instance, he says that "The upper classes knew the standing of the Negro in this country," implying of course, that they did not associate with the Negro. Again, he attempts to explain the French girl's friendly attachment to the Negro by saving that they were led to believe that these Negroes were American Indians and Mexicans as though, tortoise, these latter had admirable and attractive qualities lacking in the Negro. The falsity and fallacy of these claims have been so ably exposed by a letter to your Forum-signed ("Whole Truth," bearing the date of August 2, that I will not attempt to further expose their untruth. What can be the reason for this suppression of the truth? The French girls do not hide the facts. "Matelot" says in his last letter: "I would think a long, long time before I would announce to the world that my sisters loved Negroes." This is an excellent "grandstand play," a fine jeun de mouss (a play upon words). The French girl would think a long, long time before she would announce to the world that she hated, despised, abused ignored Negroes for no other reason than that of race of colar. Matelot further says, "I would like to ask Monsieur Boileau before I close of his skin is not of the same hue as the 'brown-skinned sons of America, and if he does not hail from the wonderful city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti If not, then I can only attribute his letter to unbalanced mind." In reply I will state—though the fact is by no means important—that I happen not to be "brown-skinned" and that I do not hall from Haiti. But, I emphatically deny the validity of any logic which maintains that my letter indicates either a non-white person or an unbalanced mind." "Matelet's" reasoning, put into a syllogism, would read thus: All white men who expose the real reason for the unfavorable criticism of the French girl and justify her loving Negroes are of an unbalanced mind. Jean Boulleau is a white man who exposes the real reason for the unfavorable criticism of the French girl and justifies her loving American Negroes—therefore Jean Boulleau is of an unbalanced mind. Such is "Matelet's" reasoning syllogistically stated. In my humble judgment, such a logical formula is much more indicative of an unbalanced mind than anything I stated in my letter. Therefore, beware of the unfavorable criticism of the girls of my beloved France! Finis. They Will Also Loan You Money To Buy For the Newest and Most Up- To Date Fall and Winter Clothes WHEN IN ST.

RESOLUTION Associated Negro Press. NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 1, "A statement made a few days ago that the Negroes of the South invited the white people of the North to stay away and let us settle our own affairs, is a mistake and we cannot indorse it," said Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., president of the National Baptist Convention in the final session. "We do not mean to insult any of our friends either North or South. We need all we have and should strive to make more," he continued. "A Negro is a Negro whether North or South, and the same applies to a white man. All we need to do is to recognize a man. The Negro Baptist—in fact, the Negroes of America, do not seek social equality, social intermingling or anything of the kind, but we want the world to know that we want protection under the law, the right to earn an honest living, the proper treatment in common carriers, nothing more, nothing less," he declared. In the interest of the young women of her race, Mrs. W. D. C. Carter, of Seattle, Wash., general secretary for the Y. W. C. A. of that state-spoke. She said: "No race can rise above its women, and if the Negro is to be lifted up he must turn attention to saving the women. We should be interested in our women of the South who are forced to ride in dirty cars, who must pay first class fares and get third class accommodations, who are insulted by all classes of men. I want the young Negro girls saved, because upon them rests the future of the race." GETS D. 8. FROM U. 8. Associated Nemo Press. BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, Oct. 1.—Will Clincy, Negro, 2616 Sixth Alley, north, received his distinguished service cross at the local army recruiting station Saturday morning. Clincy was dressed in Birmingham and was in Company F, Three Hundred and Sixty-sixth Infantry. He was awarded his decoration for gallantry in action during the fighting in the Toule sector on Sept. 1, 1918. Clincy was operating a machine gun, and after he had been wounded in the eye and side, he continued to use his gun effectively and materially aided in routing the Germans during the day's offensive. The Birmingham Negro has been awarded the croxl de guerre by the French government also. INCORPORATION IS REFUSED N. Y. CLUB MARKOOKI, P.A. MARKOOKI, P.A. Y. Oct. 1 — Commissioner L. K. Frankel and Commissioner J. R. Richard Kevin, Second Judicial District, refused the applications of the Colored Big Sisters Club of Brooklyn, for approval of certificates of incorporation. The club has been working among the Colored girls of the borough for about fifteen months. Their objects as stated in their application for incorporation is to take a friendly and slister interest in Colored girls who have been charged with juvenile delinquency; and to enlist Colored women of intelligence and means who individually will take a friendly interest in such Colored girls and seek to avoid them to become good and useful citizens. NO SCHOOL STRIKE IN WASHINGTON, D. C. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 1. There was no strike of Coloreed school children in Washington last week, because of the board of education delay in reporting the result of the investigation it conducted to determine whether Roscoe C. Bruce should be continued as head of the Colored schools. The Colored Parents' League, which had been active in the fight to oust Mr. Bruce, decided not to ask the Colored boys and girls to remain out of the school. The league previously had declared that if the board did not act on the Bruce case before the date for the opening of the schools, an effort would be made to keep the Colored children out of the public schools as a protest against the Colored superintendent. Dr. J. L. Pinn said today the league reached the conclusion that it would be better to wait until the board announces the findings in its inquiry. The committee designated by the board to handle the Bruce case has completed its inquiry, but the absence from the city of Dr. Henry B. Learned; chairman of the committee, has delayed announcement of the report. EXACT COLORED POPULATION OF WHEELING W. VA., NOT KNOWN. WHEELIGN, W. Va., Oct. I. — "What is the negro population of Wheeling?" That is the question received yesterday from a St. Louis, Mo., organization by City Clerk Crago. So far as can be ascertained by the officials there are no statistics, but it is estimated that there are about 2700 Negroes living in this city. The estimate is arrived at upon the basis of Negro fotors. There are close to 450 much registered voters here and giving an average of six members to each voter's family it will bring the total Colored population to about the above number, 2700. It is said that the Negro population here has been about the same for the past several years. Most of the Colored families live in the Second Ward, some in the Sixth Ward, while there are some families living in various parts of the city. Advertise in the Argus. Phone, Lindell 6051 J DR. E.
