The formal opening of City Hospital No. 2 for Colored persons, located at Garrison and Lawton Avenues, will occur Sunday, Nov. 16, 1918, at 3 p.m. The buildings originally comprising the 6-story, fireproof Centenary Hospital and Barnes Medical College, were purchased by the city at a cost of $65,000.00, and have been remodeled and refitted, so as to make almost an ideal city institution. The opinion has been expressed that No. 2 will be the best municipal hospital for Colored persons in the United States. Dr. Roscoe C. Haskell, is Superintendent. The entire resident staff and employees will be Colored. The Superintendent and Assistant Superintendents of Nurses, Miss Gertrude Martin and Miss Anastasia Mosler, broth white were selected from the staff of the City Hospital, and will be superintendent, accepting only those with high school education as pupil. There is already a large demand for Colored graduate nurses, and it is proposed to maintain the same high standards as at the City Hospital, so we expect to graduate the very highest grade of Colored nurse. Washington University Medical Department will furnish the visiting staff and will have responsible charge of the patients. There will be an associate visiting staff, selected from the Colored physicians of the city, who it is said will be given ample opportunity to training and experience. X-ray department and other laboratory equipment will be furnished so that the facilities for the care of patients in this institution will be brief class. That 165 patients will be removed from the City Hospital the early part of the week, and from that time on Colored patients will be taken direct to this institution, which will handle all kinds of medical and surgical cases, excepting infectious diseases and observation cases. The last named will continue to go to the observation ward at the City Hospital. COLORED MEN LAUNCH. $500000 TRUST COMPANY COLORED MEN LAUNCH. $500000 TRUST COMPANY Founder of Standard Life Insurance Company Confers With New York Capitalistate—Ready to "Put Over" Big Financial Venture. Dr. Associates, Nexus, Penske WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 12. Fresh from New York City, where he spent a week or ten days in conference with capitalists who control millions, Herman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., stopped over in Washington this week en route south and announced the formless launch of a campaign to put over a financial venture of tremendous importance to the colored people, to be known as the Citizens' Trust Company. This is the only financial corporation to be controlled by colored people favorably passed upon by the Capital Issues Committee of the Sixth Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Ga., and also by the Capital Issues Committee of the U. S. Treasury Department at Washington, D. C. The new financial institution is to be under national and state supervision. The institution is to have a capital of $250,000 and a surplus of an equal amount—$250,000. Aside from a regular banking and trust business, special emphases will be given to assist colored people in purchasing and building homes and in securing farm properties on long time payments and at low rates of interest. The development of colored business concerns and industrial corporations will receive special attention. The new concern will be national in scope, with branch offices in many important centers. Mr. Perry explained his plans in full details to the officers of one of the largest trust companies in New York and is to be guided in the formation and operation of the Citizens' Trust Company by these trained experts. He has been assured substantial encouragement in the carrying out of his plans. Where you are ready to move call The St. Louis Argus 14). Remarks by Visiting Physicians. 15).

Hunter & Co., which concern has been very active in establishing private banks, was bound over to the grand jury under bonds of $3,000, which were furnished, on a charge of perjury in the court of Judge Sullivan. The action came in a request for receivership brought by the causer of his bank, C. A. Hana berry. During a resession of court, the various parties got together and arranged to withdraw the receivership charge. However Mr. Hunter was held on the perjury charge because he claims that he is not the Randolph W. Hunter who was indicted, convicted and served a three-month sentence in Chicago some months ago. There was a run on the Hunter banks this week, but they were, with the assistance of friends, able to pay claims. ANOTHER COLORED SOLDIER GETS D. S. C. BALTIMORE, MD. Nov. 12—To receive a Distinguished Services Cross for a deed of heroism is a wonderful experience, but it cannot compare with the "delicious sensation" of being awarded one over a year after the act was committed. This is the opinion of Nicholas Rodgers, butter to Dr. Harry Friedenwald, 1923 Madison avenue, who has just received a Croix de Guurre for his bravery and helpism during the Champagne drive in September, 1918. Rodgers was a messenger in the American Expeditionary Force, carrying dispatches from headquarters to the officers at the front. It was on the very day on which his companion first went over the top that his captain was shot just as he was about to deliver a message to him. Rodgers rushed to his assistance, opened his collar so that he might get some relief, when a second bullet whizzed along, striking him in the back. With the assistance of three other men, Rodgers carried him under a heavy barge back to a recreation hot, where first aid was administered. Then he went back into the thick of the fight. Several Members of Race Are Victorious at the Polls— Prejudice, in Open Fight, Is Beaten in Kentucky and Republican Is Elected Governor. By Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Nov. 12—The recent election in various sections of the country have been watched with great interest by the people everywhere. In Chicago Attorney Edward H. Morril and Rev. A. J. Carey, Presiding Elder of the district, were electedlegate in this district, were electedlegate in the Illinois Constitutional Court. There was another candidate, Col. Franklin A. Dennison, who was defeated in this election by a combination vote against him by the Democratic and Republican organizations. The colored citizens are very indignant over the act on Col. Dennison and will doubtless hold the organization responsible. Two in New York. In New York J. Clifford Hawkins was re-elected to the Assembly over J. F. Wheaton, Democratic, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Republican, was defeated for Alderman in the 21st District by A. N. White, white. George W. Harris was elected Alderman of the 26th District over a white rival and will be the first of the race to be a member of the New York Board of Aldermen. Fleming Re-Elected In Cleveland. In Cleveland Thos W. Fleming was re-elected for the fourth time as a member of the City Council in a very heated contest in which his chief white Democratic opponent very boldly used the race problem. The candidates for Municipal Judge in Cleveland, Attorneys A. H. Martin and R. R. Cheeks, were not successful. The election of a Republican Governor in Kentucky will make that state very prominent in the Presidential campaign. Governor-elect Morrow is very highly regarded by the people of our group. regarded by the people or our group. The colored people throughout the country are deeply gratified at the election of Goy. Gollie of Massachusetts, Republican, because of his hold stand against riot and for law and order. Every attention is now turned to the candidates for President next year. Prejudice Beaten in Kentucky. (From Louisville News.) LOUISVILLE, KY. — Race men throughout the state rebelled at the crushing rebuka the voters administered the Democratic campaign committee and candidates for tirade and anti-Negro slander in the gubernatorial election. Driven to the last ditch of political expediency, the Democrats sought to rally their demoralized forces with the ancient 19th rallying cry — Nigger, nigger, nigger. So sure was this to win that a prominent officer in headquarters boasted that the party had never lost a battle with that issue. The first open attack on the race said: "Hardly a day passes in the city of Louisville that a white woman is not outraged by some drunken Negro." Then the voters were enlightened on the "prevalence of dives and men where reegaters and criminals abound." Next came whole page display advertisements in the dailies informing the public that the dirt on the streets of Louisville was being swept up by Negroes who had taken white men's "tobs." Great lists of Negro "doubtful" were published and the public warned to watch for them, and any "crowd of Negroes that may be mobilized for use at the polls." Then comes the sorrist appeal of all "protect your homes against black criminals by voting the Democratic ticket." Also rebukes Mayor Smith fos yielding to Negro preachers and politicians who asked him to bar the "Birth of a Nation" from the city. Kentuckians met the issue four square with a rebuff to the tune of 40,000. Never was the Democratic party so completely routed in this state. Never was such a straight Republican vote pledged. Even the regular colored followers of the Rooster fell in line, excepting a pitiful few of the "faithfuls." Good estimates place the race vate cast in Louisville alone at nearly 11,900. A VOTE OF THANKS. The Elementary School Teachers' Professional Unit desires to express its genuine thanks to those stalwart citizens who voted and to those who made stump speeches, for the increase in the school tax rate to maintain the present standard of efficiency of the St. Louis schools.

MAN CONFESSES HE KILLED OWN SISTER-IN-LAW Benjamin Saunders Murders His Wife's Sister, a Sumner High Girl, Because She Resents an Infestt. Benjamin Sanders, 24 years old a chauffeur, according to his own confession, must face trial for one of the most revolting crimes imaginable. Sanders admits murdering his sister-in-law, Vera Olega Brooks, a Sumner High School girl, because she resented his improper advances toward her. The crime was committed Thursday afternoon November 6. Sanders in company with Jerry Simms took an auto from the garage of H. E. Griesedieck, 3250 Hawthorn Boulevard, about 12:15, to Goode and Garfield where they met the Brooks girl and later picked up Gladys Emory and Adaldeal Huff of 1718 Whittier and Florence Wyatt, 1802 Goode. They drove around for more than two hours through north St. Louis and Baden, after taking all the members of the party to their homes except Miss Brooks, he drove to the garage, arriving about 4 p.m. according to Sanders' confession, she sat in the garage while he washed the car. He says, "We talked about an hour and it led up to me accusing her of improper relations with another fellow and I made advances to her, as she had known me for a long time, she objected and told me she intended to tell her sister (Sander's wife) and her father and mother about it. He says he begged her not to tell, she insisted and he struck her on the head with a large iron furnace shocker, knocking her down and rendering her unconscious. He claims to have tried to bring her to and finally struck her twice more. "To put her out of her misery, because she was suffering." He then wrapped the body in a wheat sack and a sugar sack, placed it in the automobile and drove to the Compton avenue vinduct, where he threw out the body. Her body was still warm when found at 5:50 by Ruben Carter and wife, 3430 Market St. her hat and textbooks lay nearby. Miss Brooks was 20 years old, the daughter of Kev. J. L. Brooks of Webster Groves and was boarding at 4231 W. Lucky. Sanders lived with his wife, Vera's sister, at 3101 Pine. The funeral was held Monday and the remains interred in Father Dixon Cemetery. ELEVEN COLORED MEN SENTENCED TO BE ELECTROCUTED ELEVEN COLORED MEN SENTENCED TO BE ELECTROCUTED HELENA, ARK, November 11. Judge J. M. Jackson of the "Phillips County Circuit Court today sentenced to electrocution at Little Rock eleven Negroes recently convicted of murder in the first degree in connection with the insurrection of October last. The first five, Frank Moore, Ed Hicks, J. E. Knox, Ed Coleman and Paul Hall, were sentenced to die on December 27. The remaining six convicted men, Albert Gilles, Joe Fox, John Martin, Alf Banks, Jr., Will Worlow and Frank Hicks, were sentenced to die on January 2, 1920. The men were charged with the murder of W. A. Adkins, Clinton Lee and James A. Tappan during the rioting at Elaine October 1. More than a half hundred other Colored men have been given penitentiary sentences ranging from one to twenty-five years. ANOTHER RACE RIOT NIPPED IN THE BUD By Associated Negro Press ANDERSON, S. C., Nov. 12.—What seems to have been a deliberate attempt to precipitate a race riot in Anderson occurred when three unknown men in a Ford automobile shot four times into a group of three Negroes standing on the corner. The Negroes were standing talking when the car passed, driving fast, and as the car drew even with them, the man, or at least one man in the car shot four times into the group, one bullet struck off the trousers of one of the Negroes. This action might have been accompanied by serious consequences in view of the fact that a recent period of tension has just passed. A remark made by a Negro preacher in Anderson led to considerable feeling between the races, and it was on the advice of a committee of our people that he resigned as pastor of the church here and left for other parts. This resignation and leaving the city alleviated the trouble to a great extent and all danger of trouble between the races seemed averted.

TURNED OVER TO FEDERAL AUTHORITIES Promoter Has Scheme To Create Country For Colored People On Mexican Border. Rev. Moses M. Madden, who is promoting a plan to establish a Negro state along the Mexican border, was arrested Tuesday night after making a speech at Abacus Dancing Academy. Madden came to St. Louis from Oklahoma about three months ago and later held a meeting in the Coliseum at which a few hundred of his followers heard him explain his plan, which was to petition the United States Government to establish the state for colonizing Negroes in Texas and Mexico. Madden is said to have gone before Cobgress and that the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate is now considering his scheme. He claims he was to appear before the Committee on Friday of this week. It is stated that the meeting Tuesday night was to resolve arguments against his plan, made by Reverendr M. Owens and W. O. Venerable. The hall was crowded early and the Argus reporter was unable to go with his district hearing distances. Detectives Jason and Cooper who attended the meeting, reported to Night Chief Kirk that Dr. Madden had made remarks about the flag. The detectives obtained the names and addresses of those in charge of the meeting and after it was over, arrests were made at houses where they were boarding. Those taken to the station were: Bishop James C. Campbell, 2248 Adams, Thomas Gadney, 2242 Adams; Mary B. Kemp, 400 South Jefferson; Charles Newman, 2801 Papin, and Richard Edmond, 2128 Adams. Mrs. Kemp is said to have only appeared on the scene when the arrests were being made. **Inflammatory Speech Charged** It is said the Colored detectives were sent to the hall after the Rev. W. D. Venerable, pastor St. Stephen's Baptist Church, had complained to the Circuit Attorney about Madden's campaign. The detectives on their written report, said that Madden in his speech described a Negro lynching with much descriptive detail and said that occurrences of this sort show that Negroes not receiving proper protection under the flag and that "any flag that wouldn't protect its citizens is a dirty rag." Madden, according to detectives did not advise Negroes to carry arms but told of an old Negro who was walking down the street when some white men insulted him. They quoted Madden as saying the old Negro's gray hairs would not have protected him, but that when he drew a revolver the white men fired. Madden, at Police Headquarters today, denied he had made an incendiary speech. He said his address was the same he made Sept. 10 at a meeting of Negroes in the Coliseum, in the presence of several policemen who did not interfere at that time. His speech, he said, was solely in the interest of his plan to colonize Negroes in Texas and Mexico and his only reference to the government was his assertion that the United States in the Confederacy which specifically gives citizenship to the Negro and that therefore the Negroes can only work out their destiny by segregating themselves in a separate state. A number of persons interviewed who were near the speaker, state that no remarks were made which could be construed as being inflammatory. No charge was placed against the prisoners and all were discharged but Madden, who was turned over to the Federal authorities Thursday morning to be questioned as to his loyalty and motives. The police are of the opinion that Madden may be in line with a movement by the I. W. W. to arouse Colored people to disorder. TWO HUNTERS ARE MYSTERIOUSLY KILLED By Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, N. C., Nov. 12. Police officials of Pitt County are baffled in their attempts to fina a case which might lead to discovering the identity of the murderer of two Negro men whose bodies were found in Traners Creek, where they evidently had been thrown several days ago. Relatives of the two young men state that they left home about in week ago on a hunting trip. When they did not return at the end of two days, searching parties were organised. One of these parties found the bodies in the creek. Upon examination it was found that both of the boys had been shot. Some hold the theory that the two Negroes stumbled upon a still and that the operator put them out of the way.

JAMES CHURCH Dr. Peek delivered a strong inspirational sermon to the Fred Howan Post, American Legion, Sunday morning. His text was chosen from judges 7-3- Themes, "courage an essential in true leadership". The pastor gave a vivid picture of the conditions existing in those days. He described the Militants as being the strong, arrogant, insolent, not believing in honest talk, preferring to live on the labor of others. He told of the industry and thrift of the Israelites and of the persecutions they suffered at the hands of their enemies. They were suffering because they transgressed God's law.

Phone, Bomont 1148 Indianapolis, Indiana THE WEEKLY SCHOOL Dresses for the house, dresses for the streets, and dresses for all ages have been made by sewing-club women under the tutelage of home-demonstration agents from Maine to Oregon. In California 53 women in one class made party dresses last summer. The women in San Diego county, California, are much interested in needlework. When a dress-making demonstration is held there by the home economics worker sent out of the department of agriculture and the state college the attendance is always above the average. In May 205 club women in this county made hats, and in July 136 made dresses, one class of 53 in Escondido making party dresses. The patterns at these meetings are measured and fitted to the measurements of their owners, then the dresses are cut and made by the corrected pattern without fitting. Class mornings are usually given over to discussing materials and patterns which are to be worked on that day. The cutting and sewing of the garments is done in the afternoon. Attention is also given at these-meetings to renovating and remodeling. The array of good-looking gowns on exhibit after one or two dress-making lessons of this kind is surprising. New insurance Company Organize In Chio COLUMBUS, O.Nov. 12. Following a series of important conferences here between some of the races' most successful and representative business men, a charter has been issued for the incorporation and license of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company. This organization brings together men who have demonstrated their ability in conducting successful insurance enterprises. T. K. Gibson, of Atlanta Ga., Secretary and founder of the Fireside Mutual Insurance Company of Georgia and Ohio, has been the prime factor in bringing about this organization. The purpose of the company is to serve in the following statement, taken from its announcement. The Company is formed for the greater development, and expansion of insurance along Casualty lines among our people, and for the acquisition by purchase and reinsurance, subject and departmental supervision of life, health and accident in the various parts of the country. "Admittedly, our greatest commercial advancement has been achieved in insurance. And while our few old time legal reserve companies and our many health and accident organizations have shared bountifully in the tremendous industrial expansion, yet, our greatly increased wages and highly enhanced standard of living have outgrown much of the insurance now in vogue and have created a demand for policies better adapted to this period of reconstruction. The Supreme Life and Casualty comes to answer that demand. "A carefully conceived campaign for the nation-wide sale of these securities will be followed by the completion of the organization and the public presentation of the Supreme Life and Casualty Policy. The Policy is the result of years of scientific study and actual experience, and has been prepared exclusively for this company by one of America's most eminent actuaries." Among the names of those who are sustaining Mr. Gibson in his efforts to organize this insurance Company are such men as: G. W. Hayes, U. S. Court Cincinnati, C. S. Smith Jr., D. G. Chand lerzt, Columbus, H. A. Boyd, Nashville; W. S. Cannon, Atlanta; J. M. Pollard, Dayton A., P. Bentley, Memphis; H. R. Butler, Georgia; C. S. Smith, Detroit, G. R. Davis, Cincinnati, and others. MUST RAISE VARIETY TO MAKE FARMING PAY Farmers in Georgia who want to keep their Negro tenants satisfied on the farms will have to encourage them and teach them to diversify their crops. This year, has convinced every Georgia farmer that cotton can no longer be grown as it used to be, says R. E. Dower of Dixie, Ga., one of the most successful farmers in this country. Many farmers say you cannot teach the Negro to be anything but a cotton farmer. Mr. Rower does not agree to this and points to the example of one Negro tenant on his place. He says not one of his cotton tenants will make over a hale and a half to the plow this year. This Negro runs two plows; last spring he sold $400 worth of winter cabbage; after his cabbage crop he planted beans, Irish potatoes and onions. WASHINGTON PARENTS REFUSE TO GIVE UP BRUCE FIGHT WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13.—Investigation of the entire public school system of Washington is asked in a petition, signed by officers of the Parents' League, which will be presented to the House and Senate District Committees some time this week. More than 1,000 Colored men and women, members of the league, met in the Evermont: Avenue Baptist Church and heard the minority report of Fountain Pootol, member of the board of education, on the investigation of the administration of Rosewood, a student superintendent of schools. When the report was read a resolution was passed appointing a committee of love to take a petition from the league to Congress. Attached to this petition will be a copy of the min- British Maidens Sigh In Vain for Husbands While Living Cost Grows Higher Shortage of men and the high cost of loving are responsible for the husbandless plight, of at least 2000,000 British maidens. The swain finds that diamonds have advanced 75 per cent. Wedding rings have increased in price on almost the same ratio as engagement rings. What is still more ominous for the man who is inclined to become a husband is the fact that the average British maiden cats more than she did before the war. War work encouraged large appetites, but long endurance of bully-beef hashes and stews and enforced acquaintance with Irish and other varieties of stews have made those formerly selectable dishes somewhat unpalatable to the maiden who, during the time the Germans were being whipped, was, stimulating her energies with plain "grub." A box of good chocolates that used to cost 60 cents now fetches $1.25 to $1.50 a pound. In the frowsiest movie theater they get 60 cents for a fairly good suit that formerly was sold for 25 cents. Where it comes to after-marriage expenses the intended husband finds that household furniture has gone up at least 300 per cent. A piano costs $100 or $600. A respectable baby carriage sells for $40 to $60. Shoes are $12 to $15 a pair. As to rent. If a man cannot buy furniture at its present exorbitant price he must pay $40 to $60 a week for a small furnished flat. WORDS OF WISE MEN Chance is a dicer.

American Angora Cats of English or Scotch Origin Angora is the name popularly applied to Persian and other varieties of long-haired cats—a strange custom, for cat fanciers have never been able to find a long-haired cat in Angora. Antiquarians testify, however, that they were known to the ancients long before the Christian era. They were first carried to the United States by sailors who brought them from India to Maine. The harder specimens adapted themselves to the Maine climate, and became very popular and were raised for show purposes. Maine having had cat shews long before the first national show at Madison Square Garden, in 1886. English cat fanciers, however, were more careful to preserve the thoroughbred strain, and won many prizes in American exhibitions. American dealers bought this stock, with the result that now most champion American cats of this kind are of English, or Scotch origin. Many Rubber Stamps. It has been estimated that 100,000,000 rubber stamps are in use in the United States. ority report of Mr. Payton. Mrs. C. M. Tanner, president of the league, who president, named Dr. William P.

Like a thrill, went the news of the signing of the armistice that brought to a standstill a million guns on a hundred battlefields on the western front just one year ago. November 11, 1918, is a day long to be remembered by people of all the civilized world. The armistice that caused the cessation of the sacrilege of life, the roaring of cannons and the throwing of the deadly gas; the armistice that brought glad tidings and great joy to millions of homes and loved ones in all the land; the armistice that ended the greatest war that the world has ever seen, acknowledging democracy over those of autocracy. The Negro, too, rejoiced on this occasion because he had played his part. "Democracy" was his ideal. Its meaning "equal rights, equal duties and equal responsibilities for all citizens" was all we could ask or expect. We were told to be content and keep up the morale of our boys under arms and after the victory, this democracy would be ours. Yea, ours in its fullest sense. Democracy was dangled before our eyes as a "mellow apple" and desire for it led us, thoughtless of our own lives, into the thickest of the battles and inspired us to lay bare our breast for the enemies' bullets. But, the signing of the armistice brought a sad disappointment to many hearts. We awoke alter our rejoicing to find democracy fleeing like a shadow, our expectations and fondest hope was as a dream in the night. This democracy deserted our boys while they were yet on the battlefield. Instead of coming closer it has vanished. Instead of times being better, our treatment became worse. What has the armistice meant to the Negro soldier and his? It has meant more race riots, more lynching and burning at the stake. It would have been far better for us if the armistice had been just twelve months later, for it killed democracy as applied to the Negro while it was being born. As we look upon the scores of dead of our race who have been victims of the lynchers' rope, the mob's torch and the rioter's hands, we feel that it would have been far better that that number should have died on the battlefields of the Western front; still fighting for Democracy. A FALSE ASSUMPTION. In an editorial of the issue of Nov. 8, the editor of the St. Louis Independent-Clarion, right on the heels of his election as President of the Local Negro Business League, has come out favoring racial segregation and racial discrimination as a means of promoting Negro business and securing for him the rights and recognition that are enjoyed by all other class of citizens. We cannot see for the life of us how the editor of the Clarion could be so blind and shortsighted as to call light darkness and darkness light. At first thought, we were inclined to pass such a statement unnoticed, but upon reflection, we realize that duty requires us not to allow it to go unchallenged. Not that we fear that the people will be fooled or misled, but we feel it our duty to correct the editor for his own benefit. The public will readily see the danger of such doctrine because it is selfish to the injury of the race. The editor of the Clarion does not yet know that the Negro is free. He, therefore, deplores the "free-to-spend-where-over-you-pleasy-policy" as now enjoyed by the Negro. He holds out as our salvation, race cast, race discrimination, race prejudice and the general southern idea of keeping the Negro in his place. We would further warn the editor that he is on the "back track" of progressive leadership and he will find his following to be very few. More freedom, more rights as American citizen is what we want, and any attempt on his part to curtail these rights for his personal gain or interest will meet the sfern hand of opposition on the part of the Negroes in this city. MADDEN IN TROUBLE. It is hoped that the arrest of M. M. Madden, with a faw of his followers, a few days ago, will be a sufficient warning to him that the thinking people are tired of his "junketing" around here, and that he had better study up some other scheme to get money to ride back and forth from here to. Washington as one that chaseth after a shadow. The doctrine he preaches gives the lie to the Constitution of the United States and sets at naught our citizenship that we have enjoyed the past fifty years. His plans for colonization are illogical, inconsistent and unreasonable. If, as he claims, that a Congressional committee at Washington is giving his schemes any consideration, we would adhere them to take up some matter that is worthy of their time that will be of a benefit to the nation. However, we doubt whether those honorable gentlemen have the time or inclination to give a minute to such foolishness. Of course, anyone can write out a statement and file it with the proper committee, but when it comes to consideration, to the waste basket or pigeonhole most of them go. Warning, the people all over this land should give no attention to such a scheme as advocated by one Rev. M. M. Madison. Hold fast to your pocketbooks while he is exploding his metamorphic oratory. His record is being looked into and it is the general belief that his record in the past will not stand investigation. Fortunnelme, his statements that we are not criminals and have no right in this country is an insult to every Negro in America. Lincoln Inst.

THE URBAN LEAGUE OPENS SOCIAL WORK Urban League Educational Secretary Places Workers. Ir. Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK.-A. L. Jackson, the Educational Secretary of the National Urban League, 127 E. 23rd St. New York City, is busily engaged with seeking, interviewing and directing prospective social workers. This is an important feature of the plan of work which the Educational Commit- tee submitted to the National Urban League in its revised program for the League. The revising and broadening of the educational work has been hastened by war and post-war conditions; the rapidly increasing Negro population northern cities; and the growing sense in this time making more sure the problems of maintaining a high standard of morale and of health; of providing recreation and clean amusement under proper supervision and of adjusting an army of small migrants to the complex condi- tions of metropolitan life. It required social workers with every kind of experience to meet these needs, and the Lesague—like all other social organizations—has been handled by the lack of trained workers capable as executive and assistants, as investigators, as recreation leaders, as juvenile and child welfare workers and as industrial and welfare secretaries. When questioned recently on the demand, Mr. Jackson said: "The demands for such workers is not shaking. Their use has demonstrated their value and welfare agencies and private and private as well as industrial plants who have met their new valuations, while many who did not use them before are now awake to their usefulness as factors in community development and in increased industrial out put." To anticipate this increasing need for workers, Mr. Jackson is visiting schools and colleges personally and supplementing the visits with correspondence in an effort to aid prospective social workers still in colleges in their choice of studies in the social sciences. While he is introducing college students the possibilities for future work in this practically new profession, he is cutting the field for capable and adaptable people to meet the immediate demand for social workers.

DuPOINT GIFT APPRECIATED WILMINGTON. Del., Nov. 13.—At a meeting of the Colored Inland際ational Ministerial Union of Wilmington and vienna, which is composed of about thirty ministers, representing all of the evangelical churches of the city, held at Zion M. E. Church, there were given strong utterances of approval of Pierre S. DuVoelt's generous gift to the Colored schools of Deleware. in commenting upon the gift Rev. J. F. King, and Rev. J. W. Bond, called attention to the fact that "the value of the gift is not onlyossilable so far as the schools of Delaware are concerned, but coming as it does, at a time when the air is pregnant with a spirit of mob violence, and when many Negroes are on the verge of despondency, Mr. DuPoint comes as an evanescent of light and inspiration, infusing life and inspiring hops into the breast of every Negro in this entire country." For while his gift was for the State of Delaware the magnitude of the good it will accomplish and the spirit in which it was given will exert a national influence. 25 to 50 Per cent Saved On Blankets And Comforts Beginning Saturday, November 15.

Y., Nov. 12—The government in New York again gives its stamp of approval to the work done by the Young Men's Christian Association sur- and since the close of the war. This last expression came several days ago when it gave notice of the transfer of the Y. M. C. A. war work council from the various camps within the continental limits of the United States to buildings provided for such work by the government. Following this action, the War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. has requested its army of 1,300 secretaries, who have been conducting activities in 503 temporary Y. M. C. A. hats in camps, to continue as welfare workers under the direction of the War Department. The Y. M. C. A. will go a step further—it will transfer to the government charge 503 hats within the army camp with their complete equipment valued at about 44,800,000. Timed use of equipment and cost. In his letter to Dr. John R. Matt, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Secretary of War, he thanked the association for the plenied service it rendered during the war, and declared that he is desirous of the Y. M. C. A. continuing its welfare work and expanding it wherever possible. War Work Day At Detroit Many noted speakers are scheduled to deliver addresses and make reports on the work at home and abroad, Saturday November 25, at the International convention of the Y. M. C. A. to be in session at Detroit. The report of D. A. Davis, who has been in charge of the American "Y" in France for the past four years, will doubtless be of interest to the large number of delegates of our Race. Mr. Davis is here from Paris to review the war work and post war work opportunities, which include work in Morocco and Algeria for the Colored African Colonies of the French Republic. Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels, will tell of the work done for the sailors. Commander C. B. Mayo, of the navy, who is in charge of the new morale section with which the Y. M. C. A. will cooperate, will give an account of his work and observations. Other speakers will be Colonel Jason S. Joy of the Recreational and Educational Department, War Plane division of the General Staff at Washington, which has taken over the welfare work of the Y. M. C. A. in the home camps.

The Periscope POLITICAL THIS AND THAT There is power in politics. Political preference is a human instinct that cannot be eliminated. The world has been turned topsy-turvy for more than five years because of certain groups of people are clamoring for the ascendency over certain other groups,—in the name of humanity, justice, democracy and freedom. It has been a conflict in which our group has furnished more than its quota, in the name of patriotism, and in the problems of reconstruction we are asking for a bearing. The American nation has two dominant parties of political action, Republican and Democrat. With their deeds, platforms and principles, we are superlatively familiar. It is unnecessary for us to describe them. In the certain sections of the country, the Republican party tolerates us; in other sections, the Democrat party not only scorns us, but openly and boastingly defies us, advancing, and upholding, the films, superlative theory that, a dark skin is an eternal bar to political recognition in America. It is an illogical, silly, trumped-up piece of tonfoilery, but up to this hour, in the last twenty or more years, they have been able to get away with it. The Republican party protest, up to this hour, has been desultory and prefunctive and failing to breathe the true spirit of determination, and Americanism, that gave it the name of the Grand Old Party. Despite this well known fact, the majority of our group have steadfastly and misseveringly accepted its calling. The white Republicans of Texas have boldly and extensively announced that the time has come to drop us, and that in fact, we should be out of politics anyway. Certain Northern Democrats, in close states, are throwing out the alive branch of consideration, and are making it an object of mutual advantage to get in their political wagon. In a number of communities there are effective organizations, and they are, no more, neither ridiculed or scorned. From now, until November 1920, the attention of the American people will be directed towards the selection of a President of the United States of America—the greatest office in the world. The concern of our 15,000,000 group will be who is the best man for the place, so far as we are concerned. It is a subject vital to our well being, our liberty, our pursuit of happiness, our very lives, that our children and posterity. God knows we have been huced a plenty. The siren voice of promise has lured our people into many pathways. We have stepped into many a camouflaged trap and met with political disaster. We have been the willing tools of the unscrupulous politicians within and without the group—and we have been sold, times without number, for less than the proverbial "mess of pottage." Has the amazing state of race consciousness reached the point where, may be careful and calculated, cold and deliberate, wise and unselfish consideration of the principles of party, and the individuals who are the exponents thereof? If we have reached that point, there is hope; if we have not, further deprivation and desolation awaits, the people. There are some who say, we shall not be heard; our reply is: we must be heard; there are some who say, the time is not rine; our reply is, the time's "rotten"; there are some who say, it is worth our life to demand, our reply is, we have but one time to die, and for a principle in which our very existence is involved. Death is a mere tride if right and justice shall triumph. We have no threats; we are lovers of peace. We hold no malice against the just; we are the personification of gratitude. We make no boasts; our humility is the astonishing problem of the age. Few hands are held out to lift us up, while ten thousand times ten thousand feet may be found to crush us. We were lost, purposely; designed lost; but we have, praise be, found ourselves, and by the Grace of God we will henceforth keep the faith, and also, our good eyes and good sense, forevermore, world without end. Amen! There are indications that the Negro Republicans of the South will be a more important factor than hitherto for many years in the next Republican National Convention. For one thing, the number of Negro delegates will be increased because there are more Negroes stirred with ambition for their Race, and kindled with a desire to safeguard its interests through political action. That the participation of many Negroes in the war has had much to do with this, is the conclusion of some observers. An active organization of the Negro Republicans of the South with reference to the National Convention is reported from Virginia as being already far advanced. "This city, if it is not cautious," remarks the Chicago Tribune, "may repeat its race riots and repeat them on a larger and deadlier scale to its disgrace." That startling statement prompts further reading to discover who and what to do about it. One of the whys is that "the people of Hyde Park are determined that they will not have their property values unimpaired and the character of their neighbors changed by an intuition of Negro residents." What to do about it! Here is the Tribune's answer: The Colored people must have a section of the city for their homes. They must have one which they can use without fighting the whites or inciting the whites to fight them." Quite as worthy quotation is the Tribune's statement that "no one can blame the whites for trying to protect the sections in which they live and the value of the property which they own." It is noteworthy that The Tribune, which calls itself "the greatest newspaper on earth," and is one of the strongest Republican newspapers in the country, is not for the moment employing the hypocrisies which commonly mark Northern and Republican discussion of Race questions. Illinois is as far North as South Carolina is South. Chicago is as Republican as Charleston is Democratic. Nevertheless, one view of the domiciling of whites and blacks blan kets both. So another sign appears that northern liberality toward Negroes is superior to Southern liberality only where and so far as there are few Negroes. When Chiengo has segregated her Negroes in a Negro quarter she will be only fair if she excludes whites from it as rigorously as she excludes Negroes from the white quarters. It might be, that th Negroes, if given a quarter of their own would make it the subject of white envy. JUSTICE, PLAIN JUSTICE! THAT'S ALL The Negro Race in America is entitled to fair play. It has a right to appeal to the real Americans for justice. It has been doing that. With its back against the wall it is making, its most many representatives, an appeal that ought to reach the heart of the nation. In the name of all that is honorable and just, let white men and women who love their country and profess to revere its laws come to the aid of those of both races who have been promising the Negro that thru his own industry, reverence for law and loyalty to his country he might make his way to common respect and fairplay. WE BITE. WHAT'S THE ANSWER? If the Negro and the mule have a natural affiliation, the Negro and the South have another. Let me relate a story that was told in congressional circles when I first came to this town forty years ago. "Blanche K. Bruce, a bright mulatto man, a very handsome man, was a senator in Congress from Mississippi. He was one of the less than half a dozen senators who were intimate with Roscoe Conkling; but he was frank to say that he always felt more at home on the Democratic side than on the Republican side. L. C. Lamar, a democrat, and a great man, his colleague, the great grater of Bruce came on to Washington, and aged in years, broken in fortune and health, was in very hard lines. Bruce went to President Hayes and asked for (Continued on Page 10). LITTLE SAVOY BARBERSHOP 21 N. CHANNING AVE. First Class Artists Always In Attendance. CALVIN BRANCH. Prop NEIL BOYCE, Mgr.

London Board of Education Is Experimenting With the Simplified Spelling Form The London board of education has after many refusals sanctioned experiments in simplified spelling. Speaking on the subject at University college, Prof. Walter Ripman, chief inspector of London university, said: "It was necessary to have a code of spelling, which would represent not dialects, but standard speech of the whole English speaking race. It was hoped that the United States government could be brought to co-operate with the British government in bringing this about." Miss Walsh of Honeywell Road school, Battersea, where the experiment in simplified spelling is being made, said that learning to read in the simplified formulas a much happier experience for a child than under the old method. A number of Miss Walsh's pupils, of an average of six years of age, gave a demonstration of word building by the simplified method. All could read with facility both in the old and new form of spelling. The Origin of "Blue Blood." "Blue blood" appears to mean the blood of a fair skinned race as it strikes the eyes of a dark, skinned people; in its Spanish form, sangre azul. It seems to have been first used to describe the blue veins on the fair skin of the foreign northern aristocratic classes of Sainn.

When meal time is taken at noon there is no dish which touches the spot like a nice hot soup. Coconut Soup. The trouble of preparing this delicious soup will be swallowed and forgotten with the first taste. Cook two pounds of veal bones in two quarts of water added cold. When reduced to one quart' add the chopped meat of one coconut and cook one-half hour. Strain and add the milk of the nut and a plait of cream. Kneat and thicken with a tablespoonful of flour and butter cooked together. Season with salt, cayenne and onion juice. When ready to serve pour over two beaten eggs. Victoria's Favorite Soup. Remove the fat from a quart of water in which a chicken has been cooked. Season with salt, pepper, onion juice and celeriac salt. Mash the yolks of three hard-cooked eggs, mix with half a cupful of bread crumbs soaked in milk until soft. Chop white meat of chicken until it is fine as meat and stir it into the egg and bread crumb paste. Add a plot of hot cream, slowly, then the chicken liquor. Boll five minutes, add more seasonings, to to this, add more crumbs. It should be a purée. The feet of chickens wing tips of towls, tough ends of steaks all make fine flavored soaps. **Squaw Disk.** As Indians are very fond of preparing this dish it has taken the name from them. Cut bacon in thin slices and cook until crisp, pour off half the fat from a quarter of a pound of bacon and add a quart of corn, fresh from the cob is best, but canned will do. Stir until the corn is cooked if fresh, and thoroughly hot, if canned. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Bake pears by dotting with bits of butter, add sugar, lemon juice and bake them while baking. Serve either hot or cold. a place in one of the departments for a "constituent." It was before the graa of the Civil Service Commission, and the president readily granted the request. Bruce went to Lamar and told him he had designed the place for his master, but he knew the old fellow would never accept it at the hand of his former slave, and he asked Lamar to allow the appointment to be charged to himself and that he tender it to the old gentleman. "Lamar was much affected and holding out his hand to Briony exclaimed: brutex, exclaimed. "Brues, you are a gentleman of the most delicate and refined feelings, and I am proud to number you among my friends. I cordially agree to your proposal." "The appointment was made out, the old gentleman got the place and held it until his death, not a great while later; but he never knew to whom he was indebted for the performer." "Col, John B. Brownlow told me the story of another Negro senator, the first of his race to hold a seat in, either house of Congress, his name being Hiram B. Revels. When he took his seat in the Senate, Sumner, of Massachusetts, made much of him, and when the session closed he accompanied Sumner to Boston and under the guidance of of Sumner he made a lecture tour of several of the New England States, that netted him over $10,000 cash—his theme, "Southern Slavery." Not a great while afterward, General Grant, then President, literally ordered the Senate to depose Summer as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, and Revels, voted as Grant ordered. Some days afterward Summer met Senator Vickers of Maryland, and asked him if the Negro, as a Race, was devoid of gratitude. Vickers answered, 'Not entirely; but to compensate for any defect in that respect, the Negro, as a Race, is also without malice, and they forget an injury as readily as they forget a favor.' Born in North Carolina, Revels was educated in the North where he lived, and more or less prominently figured, for years before the war. Jerry Haralson was the most picturequease of all our Negro solons. He was a member of the 44th Congress, and had an extravagant admiration for Proctor Knott, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Knott humored him, and it was no uncommon thing for the Hon. Jerry to call at Knott's boarding house, take a seat in the kitchen and send for Knott. The latter, his face as solemn as a clock, the convulsed with laughter to the tips of his fingers and toes, would go into the kitchen and learnedly discourse with the Hon. Jerry on grave matters of state. DISGRACEFUL (Washington, D. C., N.

PRESS Makes Ads Better Disregarding Opportunity Southern States UNITED STATE Writing in the Correlo Damanha, recently, Antonio Torres, of Buenos Aires, Brazil, declared: "The Negro in the United States lives under a regime worse than during the times of Lincoln, when his life was saved as valuable property. Today the Negro is like the Pole and Jew of Russia during the reign of the Czar, without political guaranties on a social horizon. His only reward for loyalty to his country is lynching on a trivial pretext." "A Negro born in the United States, speaks the same language as President Wilson, but the savage whites do not hear his cry of agony. People who act in that manner have no right to speak to the world in the name of civilization." The world will not let the United States forget its race riots. It has now been positively ascertained that the "race riots" were not such at all. They were instigated by a lot of idle youths, who wanted excitement, used a few lawless Negroes to help stir things up. This has been acknowledged by the police department of Washington, D.C. And it has also been acknowledged that had the police department acted on the knowledge at hand before the rioting began, there would have been but slight disturbance. Congress is now putting the screws on, determined to get to the bottom of "somebody's" incompetence. It was the most disgracefully important thing that ever happened in the National Cap- FARMS BEING DESERTED ON ACCOUNT OF LYNCHINGS National Race Congress Makes Address To Country, On Mob Law, An Utter Disregard For Law And Lack Of Human Living Opportunities Granted Colored People Of The Southern States. The National Race Congress of the United States, in convention assembled, representing a constituency in every State, and amongst every municipality of the Union, views with alarm the increasing tendency toward lynch law and mob violence throughout the country, as exhibited by the recent outbreaks in the cities of Boston, Gary, Knoxville, Omaha and Washington; as well as in many parts of the South and calls upon all fairminded citizens especially those in high authority to put an end at once to such lawlessness. Of the 4,000 Negroes lynched in the United States, within the past forty years, not more than seven per cent were charged with the crime of rape, and, not more than seven per cent alleged criminal assault. Eighty-six per cent have been lynched for offences which range from alleged murder to "impendence" and fifty of this 4,000 have been women and children. This appeal for the suppression of lawlessness is not only for the sake of justice, but for the added reasons that lynchings and mob violence cause the desertion of farms and overcrowding of cities, and augments the high cost of living by increasing consumption and decreasing production. Moreover, mob rule is an open expression of utter disregard for law and order which are fundamental elements of all civilization. Patiently, we have submitted to the many acts of injustice heaped upon us by an intolerant element of this country and still counselling law and order and the observance of all forms of good government. We may now without reservation and with firm conviction of our position, that when it becomes a matter of self-protection—a question of life existence—the man who does not rise up in his own defense, is not worthy of citizenship in a republic like these United States. If this nation desires to maintain its proud position among the nations of the world and prove it is a democracy in deed as well as in word, it must carry out the letter and spirit of its constitution. Any government which has the right to make the citizens bear arms in its defense must by the same token have the power to protect them. A nation which proposes a democratic program for the protection of the weak and oppressed people of the world, should inaugurate the same program at home. Moreover, we believe it to be in the interest of good government and (Continued on Page 11) ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Subscribe for The St. Louis Argus, $1.50 per year. DR.

The General officers are leaving necissus unturned to make this, the Reconstruction Conviction, surpass all others; and already they can safely say that the delegation this year will be larger than ever before. This year marks the return of a large number of men who have been in service overseas, and in addition many older men who saw the organization in its early struggle back in '06, and who are now out in life will return to greet their brother Helfenites in this annual conclave. It is also certain that the various chapters will have full quotas of delegates notwithstanding their locations. With chapters stretching from Sigma at classic Harvard to Upsilon at free Kansas "U" and from the Mu of the Gopher State University to Delta-Lamb da in athletic Atlanta, with all eyes and steps turned toward the "Windy City", during the holiday season, nothing less than the greatest assembly of trained men among our people be predicted. Starting with one chapter at Cornell University in 1906, the fraternity has become international in scope. In contradiction and defiance of much public opinion that fraternities are school day revelries for "good time", this organization has stood for organized activity and cooperative influence of socially like-minded persons in the service of their fellowman.

The eastern wall from fries to plinth Shall be the poet's labyrinth, There, one may find the words of rhyme from the ancient side of time; And on the northern side a space Shall show an open chimney-place; Set round with the ancient tiles that tell Some legend old, and weave a spell Among the dog-grog-lands; Where, musing among, taste the heat; Above, the mantel should not lack For curios and bric-a-brac— Not much, but just enough to light The room up when the fire is bright The volunteers on the wall shall be All people and all animals. From Plato down to those who are The dim reflections of that star; And these tomes all shall serve to show, How much we write—how little know; For since the problem first was set No one has ever solved it yet. Unless we have a great poet The scientific books shall pass; Beside them history; above— Religion—hope, faith and love; Lastly, the southern wall should hold The story-teller, new and old; Haroun al Haschid, who was truth And all who were truthful.

Proposed Law Provides for $5,000,000 for Care of Drug Habit Patients Measures to combat the increasing number of drug addicts following up national prohibition have been introduced in the senate by Senator France of Maryland, chairman of the senate committee on public health, at the request of the federal public health service. He says the United States leads in per capita use of opium. The bill would provide $5,000,000 for the care of the drug-habit patients. Senator France declared there are about 500,000 drug addicts in the United States, 50,000 of them in New York, and about 12,000 in Chicago. The drug habit is more prevalent where prohibition has been in effect longest, Kansas holding the record for the largest number of addicts according to population, Senator France declared. "The Harrison act never has been rigidly enforced, because that would have created a desperate situation in the absence of adequate hospital facilities for the treatment of those addicted to habit-forming drugs, particularly opium, herein and cocaine," said Senator France. Ratifying a Peace Treaty. According to the Constitution, the president has "power, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the senate present concur." Since a proposed treaty is not a treaty until ratified, the president actually goes through the ternaryity of ratification, but only after the provisions of the Constitution have been complied with.
