The St. Louis Argus If Recommendation Of Committee Is Adopted, Negroes Will Be Shut Out In The South. By Associated Negro Press: MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 19.—The American Legion, an organization representing the veterans who fought in the great world war, slipped a cog in its wheel of progress when the eligibility committee recommended that eligibility of members be left to the various states, instead of to the National Committee. It is plain to be seen that his attitude which the "bar-up" against the thousands of Colored veterans thru out the South who were vailant in the service of the country, during the war. This subject was one of the many questions before the American Legion and was left for final decision from the Springfield meeting during the summer. In practically every Southern state, there has been a determination to refuse charters to Colored posts, which of course, is in line with Southern policy, but out of harmony with the times and the true American spirit of justice and fair-play. Prior to the convention, a number of delegates were in conference in Chicago with Capt. Lewis E. Johnson, formerly of the 370th Infantry and others. The men brought written statements from Southern states stating that the American Legion was for Caucasians only. Very naturally the Colored veterans thrush out the country in confection with the thousand splendid white veterans, are greatly indignant at any camouflage effort to spear over the subject and keep out of the American Legion thousands more who willingly left their houses and business and work to go to France and fight for democracy, white thousands of white Southerners used every means within and without the law to keep them out of the service. The records bear out the fact that the Colored people of the South as well as in many other sections of the country, furnished more than their quota of service men. This attitude will undoubtedly precipitate a fight to the finish by the younger citizens who are determined that Justice shall prevail. HOSPITAL NO. 2 OPENED Last Sunday, November 16th, a large crowd attended the formal dedication of City Hospital No. 2, located at Garrison and Lawton avenues of this city.

Gardner, has remained silent on the lynching of George Adams, 18 years old, at Moberly Tuesday night, and up to Thursday evening: had failed to reply to a telegram requesting him to put the legal and executive machinery of the state of Missouri in action to run down and punish the mob murders. The request was sent out by Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, chairman of the executive committee of the St. Louis branch, N. A. C. P. and read as follows: Hon. Fred W. Gardner, Governor, Jefferson City, Mo. The St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People protests against the horrible and brutal murder of the Negro prisoner at Moberly by a mob It also protests against the negligence of the officers of the law in failing to protect the prisoners from the mob. The Branch represents to the Governor that the perpetrators of the murder will never be brought to trial by the authorities in Randolph County and that the remaining three prisoners are in grave danger of mob violence. The branch requests the Governor to put the legal and executive machinery of the state in action at once to protect the prisoners and run down and punish the mob murders; and further requests that the sheriff of Ranaldph and Macon counties-be removed from office for failure to protect their prisoners. Geo. L. Vaughn, Chairman of Executive Committee. The Story of the Crime. According to press reports, a body of 76 men took four Negro highway men from the Macon jail and took them to Moberly, where they killed one. George Adams, of Chicago. All but one of the men is said to have been masked. Sheriff Stampo of Macon, whom they overpowered, save he did not recognize any of them. The three Negroes escaped from the mob, but all three were recaptured by officers. The four men were accused of robbing and beating a farmer. They had been arrested and placed in the Macon jail. The mob is said to have overpowered the sheriff and loaded it victims into automobiles and started for Moberly. Adams was shot to death after a rope had been placed around his neck and the other end thrown over a limit of a tree in Forest Park. It is no determined whether the rope broke or whether the members of the mob he gan to fear the result of their action but he gained his feet and started to run, the other three following him. Four shots were heard and he fell dead with four wounds in his head. The others escaped, but were recaptured after hours of pursuit by officers. They maze the names of Halley Richardson, 101 West Thirty-first street Chicago; James Anderson, 3122 Federal street, Chicago, and Sanford Tayor, 113 Hassler street, East St. Louis. Prisoners Ties, Clegg Or. When the prisoners were brought the 25 miles from Macon in autumn bites, they were taken to Forest Park where a large cowl was gathered. A huge fire burned and the prizefighter was blinded with their hands behind them. Some member of the mob is believed to have released the hands of one and he is supposed to have freed his companions. In a statement made by Mayor Larry of Macon, Monday, he blamed the Court'suries for returning too many "not guilty" verdicts later. The authorities are apparently making no effort to arrest the members of the mob, claiming they "cannot be identified." MRS.

TWELVE PAGES VOTERS HAVE A POLITICAL CONFERENCE VOTERS HAVE A POLITICAL CONFERENCE Much Criticism Of The Republican Leaders For Denying Race Men To Party Councils. POLITICAL EQUALITY KEYNOTE OF MEETING St. Louis To Follow The Pace Set By Race Men In Other Cities In Recent Elections. A most representative meeting of Colored voters was held at Pythian Hall last Wednesday night, where the political situation affecting the Negro was enthusiastically discussed. Representatives from all the wards with large Negro voters were present. Among the speakers were: A. W Llyod, Grand Chancellor, Knights of Pythias, State of Missouri; W Herbert Fields Grand Master, Ancient Knights and Daughters of Africa; Geo. L. Vaughn, lawyer; Dr. Darrington Weaver; J. M. Well, member Republican State Committee; E. Hawkins, insurance agent; H.G. Phillips, lawyer; Dr. Chas. Henry Phillips, Jr.; John Holman, Joe P. Harris, Deputy Probate Clerk and others. Want More Political Representation. The keynote of the meeting was more political representation for the Negro in the Republican party. The speakers declared that the time is ripe for the Negros to get in dead earnest if he ever expects to receive anything worth while at the hands of the party leaders. "We have waited too long now," said Grand-Chancellor Lloyd. "It is time for us here in St. Louis to wake up. We are sleeping over our rights. The Negroes all over this country are together as never before to fight a faith that is not a committeemen from this word. You have the votes. Look at Kansas City. The Negroes have two Committeemen and the leaders of the Republican party in that city are proud of them." Other speakers pointed out that race men had won in the recent elections in several cities of the country, and said the same could be done in St. Louis. Race Men Elected. In Chicago, Attorney Edward H. Morris and Rev. A. J. Carey, Presiding Elder of the A. M. E. Conference in this district, were elected delegates to the Illinois Constitutional Convention. Two in New York. In New York, J. Clifford Hawkins was elected to the Assembly over J. E. Wheaton Democratic Dr. E. P. Roberts, Republican Alderman in the 2nd District. George W. Harris was elected Alderman of the 26th District over a white rival. Fleming Re-Elected in Cleveland In Cleveland, Thos. W. Fleming was reelected 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 said the race problem. Republican Leaders Criticized Most of the speakers were strong in their criticism of the Republican leaders of the city who are almost daily getting together behind closed doors making their political "state," without considering whether or not the men selected are fair-minded toward the Negro. "Mr. Well, as a member of the State Committee has a right to the party conferences," said Homer Phillips, because he will represent our interest. How do they know whether the men selected, by them are right on the Negro question? As long as we will stand for this condition, it will continue." Mr. Well stated that every other group and the leaders of the Labor Unions are consulted by the party leaders, but not the Negro. Dr. Chas, Henry Phillips, Jr. said, "what the Negro needs is more political recognition," and urged his hearers to stick together with a firm purpose and we will not only get what we are asking for, but we would get more. All we need is an earnest start," said Dr. Phillips. The meeting was presided over by J E Mitchell, editor St Louis Argus, who stated that the object of the meeting was to get an expression from the voters as to whether they were satisfied with present political conditions in this city and state as it affects the Negro. A committee was appointed to work out definite plans, to report at a later meeting. MADDEN RELEASED BY FEDERAL OFFICIALS Rev. Moses M.

James Weldon Johnson: Major Spingarn Urges Commutation, Urging as a service to the nation, the commutation to life imprisonment of death sentences imposed upon eleven Negroes in Arkansas, Maher J. E. Springarn, late of the A. E. F. in France, has televised Governor Charles H. Frounch of Arkansas. Major Spingarn urges the commutation in order that further light on the recent eggs riot in Arkansas may be obtained before "irreparable wrong" is done. As one who has always had high faith in your courage and sense of justice, and who has admired the liberal attitude which you have expressed in regard to the Negro, I am appealing to you to commute to life imprisonment the sentence of the eleven Negroes recently condemned to death. From testimony obtained by two persons actually on the ground, I am convinced that the interest of justice would best be subscribed by this commutation, in order that an irreverable wrong may not be done before further light on the whole subject is obtained. As a partible American, I should hate to have the fair name of Arkansas subject even to the suspicion of having done a grave injustice at a time when more than the relations of white and black men should be on a basis of fair play and mutual understanding. You have it in your power to perform a national service at this crisis, and I feel sure that you will not shrink from doing it. J E Spingarn. The N. A. A. C. P. has also asked Secretary of War, Baker, for intervention in the case of Sergt. Edgar G. Caldwell, sentenced to death for alleged murder of a street car conductor. 120 ARE INDICTED FOR OMAHA RIOTS OMAHA, Neb., November 19.—The special grand jury investigating the courthouse riots September 28, reporting today, after returning 129 indictments, mostly in connection with the riot, said the cause of the riot was crimes against women and undue criticisms of public officials.

PRESIDENT TOLD NO MASSACRE OF WHITES PLANNED PRESIDENT TOLD NO MASSACRE OF WHITES PLANNED If Information Is Correct Legalize Wholesale Murder Is Being Committed Special to The Argus: NEW YORK, Nov. 17—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has made public a telegram to President Wilson asking an immediate investigation of conditions in Phillips County, Arkansas, scene of recent race riots, where it is alleged Negroes are being railroaded to death and state prison. The telegram reads: November 14, 1919. Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the name of 12,000,000 Negroes of the United States respectfully urges the danger to America and its ideals of the conditions prevailing in Phillips County, Arkansas. Eleven Negroes have been sentenced to electrocution in Phillips County, six of them having been convicted in seven minutes, according to press reports, by a jury of which no colored man was a member. Fifty-four Negroes have, according to the press, been sentenced to terms of from one to twenty-one years in state prison. No word has come of proceedings against white men, although towards of twenty-five Negroes were killed in the disturbances. A representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People visited the Department of Justice in Washington on Saturday, November 1, and placed in the hands of Mr. G. F. Ruch of that Department information giving grounds for belief. 1. That not only had no "massacre crimes" been planned by Negroes of Phillips County, but 2. That the Negroes in Phillips and adjacent counties have been mercilessly exploited under a system virtually of poisoning, and 3. That the Negroes had organized not to "massacre whites," but to obtain legal redress by peaceful and lawful means.

Class 1. "Think it over class," never could decide on an opportunity until it had passed. Class 2. "The Back-Boneless Class," could not risk own judgment, but had to ask somebody's advice. Class 3. "The Narrow-Gauge Class," refuse to listen to anything out of their own fire. Class 4. "The Fool," thought a thing was worthless or it would not have been presented to them. Class 5. "The Conceited Class," knew where all the good investment were and wouldn't listen to a new one. Class 6. "The Improvident Class," spent all of their money to live, never had anything to invest. Class 7. "The Modern Shylock," believed in nothing but the "Pound of Flesh," mortgage and three per cent interest. Class 8. "The Pessimistic Class," had a friend who invested in something once and lost. Class 9. "The Suspicious Class." was afraid they were saving to be robbed. Class 10. "The Only Honest Class." must have control; no one else was honest enough. The Remedy: Investigate and become a sharp-holder in the Ekroy Mfz Company.

The only killed for this particular crime was the commit robbery somewhere in Miss- year, but nobody thinks of hanging.

MARRIAGE LICENSES Advertising Rates Furnished on Request MEMBER MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION MURDERERS WITH IMPUNITY. Because they perchanced to be white, and the "white" people of this state have the machinery of the law in their hands, a mob at Moberly, a few days ago, missed lynching four Negroes by a mere chance, which was in the providence of a broken limb of a tree. According to a press report, the only evidence of guilt of a charge of robbery against these men were that they were strangers in the community. No identification or proof of guilt had been established merely suspects in jail, and the mob spirit grows. All they want: First, that their victim is a Negro; second, that he is in jail or in custody of the so-called officers of the law, thus assuring them that their victim is unarmed and divested of every means of defense; then the mob crowds, for they know they can then and there lynch, burn or commit any other crime against the peace and dignity of the state with impunity, because they perchance were born white. The officers of the law will not attempt to defend their pri-oner because they, too, are of the same stripe of the mob. Idle words are they which say that these officers did their duty. No honest person capable of reasoning will believe it. of beating and robbing a farmer. The old, and often false, excuse for lynching Negroes cannot be urged in palliation of the offense committed by the Moberly lynchers. They shot a man for committing an offense for which criminals often suffer severe penalties, but not the death penalty. The only reason this particular man was killed for this particular crime was that he was a Negro. White men commit robbery somewhere in Missouri practically every day in the year, but nobody thinks of hanging them. The logic which lies behind this deadly discrimination against Negroes has always been beyond the comprehension of men who oppose lynching. We are assured that the Negro is inferior to the white man a mere child to be humored, patronized and made as useful as possible by white men. But when this irresponsible child commits a crime the same people who insist upon his intellectual inferiority also insist upon his greater criminal responsibility. All kinds of logic, except lynchers' logic, would require merely for the childlike Negro and punishment for the wise and responsible white man. It is the duty of the law-abiding people of Randolph County to deal with the Moberly lynchers in a manner that will keep Randolph County's record in the future as clean as Phillips County's. The Republic has no doubt that this is the intention of the officials and people of Randolph County. Like the Globe-Democrat and the Post-Dispatch, the Republic deplores such lawlessness and condemning the mob, but these powerful agencies for moulding public sentiment do not offer or take the lead in suggesting a remedy for the future. These editors know where the weak spirit is: Are they afraid to touch it? Surely they know that the fault is in the officers of the law. These so-called officers have failed to do their duty. Laxity in the enforcement of the law encourages the mob. Everybody knows that lawlessness breeds disrespect for law. If this kind of thing is allowed to continue, ere long the mobs will be in power. A casual study of the growth of mob violence and law defiance in this country will show that it received its encouragement in attacking the Negro. Disregard for law and order where the Negro is concerned has been the fertile soil that has given growth to mob violence in America.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, NOV. 21, 1919 The Periscope JUSTICE (?) IN ARKANSAS (The Pittsburgh, Pa., Leader) The recent Arkansas trials on the "uprisings," there have been so frequently one-sided, that the Associated Negro Press has selected this editorial expression from the Pittsburgh Leader, a daily of national importance, as a most remarkable state of facts; Says The Leader: "The method of civil authorities in Arkansas, in connection with the participants in the recent race Riot in that state, furnish little to inspire confidence. The mere fact that only Negroes have been arrested, only Negroes indicted and that already within a few days, six black men have been condemned to death, is enough to arouse suspicion that the operation of the legal mechanism in Arkansas might be improved without disturbing other civic excellencies. "The grand jury in Chicago which sat upon the cases of race rioting in that city took a different course. The members of that jury-fictured like regular men. They have received the commendation of fair minded citizens everywhere. When the members of that jury discovered that the civil authorities had arrested only Negroes, and so far as could be learned thru questioning, intended to arrest and put on trial only Negroes, the jury stopped its work on race riot cases. The authorities were told that when they could make up their minds to act fairly and decently, the grand jury would take up the cases. The jurymen - said if no white men were to be put on trial no Negroes would be indicted either. There the case seems to have come to a rather abrupt end. Fair play is not dead. "In Arkansas, the Southern race animosity seems to be in complete control. There is no grand jury to make clear inquiry into all the facts. There is no one to make a defense for the Negroes. No one to make a stand for justice. Justice is not under consideration. "The first great point is to insist upon the supremacy of the white race. The second is to emphasize the inferiority of the black race. That established, the right of the whites to do as they please with blacks speaks for itself. It must be right because the superior race says so. If the Negroes are admitted to have legal rights the superiority of the whites is worthless. "If the white people of Arkansas, or any other state, believe that they can strike terror into the hearts of the Negroes by arbitrary killings, either thru mass attacks, straight out mob work, or thru the legally constructed machinery of law, they are making the most serious blunder of their lives. But the swift way they are arresting and condemning to death looks as if they are going to try to make it stick. They are doomed to disappointment." THIS LISTENS WELL The Colored residents of New Orleans and Louisiana have never enjoyed such opportunities as they have to better their condition now. There is work for all, who will work at pay that will give them the comforts of life and permit them to buy homes and make provision for the future. They have better school facilities than ever before, and the behavior of the young Colored men who served their country during the war has increased general good will toward them. "LEST WE FORGET" (Los Angeles, Cal., Times) Thin all white people should keep their minds clear and not permit themselves to make mistakes of thinking that: all Negroes are alike. When some degenerate Negro insults a white woman and is lynched for it, white people who do not think deeply come to the conclusion that every Negro would insult a white woman. He did not stand in fear of being lynched. Anyone who could be farther from the truth than this conclusion. Anyone who knows the Negro people knows it is not true. The Negro who assaults or who desires to assault white women is the exception. We do not fear to say that this kind of Negro numbers only one in 10,000. And that is just as good an average as white people can claim. The fact is, that the average Negro is not at all attracted by white women. He much prefers his own women. We are to remember that there have been and skill are white men who prefer Negro women to their own race. One of the greatest lawyers America has ever known was one of these. Nother are we to forget that during the Civil War the cultured white women of the South were left wholly at the mercy of Negro guardians while their men folk were away in the battlefields. And these women were not violated. The Negro then answered for himself and his answer was sublime. The Negroes of the Nation respect and honor their leaders who speak out fearlessly and constructively, not only condemning all forms of economic and social injustice practiced by white people, but also in condemning all forms of narrowness or bitterness which are found among black people. Those whites who are inclined to proceed on the assumption that the entire Negro Race represents a "child" group need to realize that on account of the recent migration of half a million Negroes from the South, the world war, and other forces, including various propaganda agencies, Negroes in increasing numbers have come rather quickly to man's estate, and must be dealt with as mature, thoughtful determined men and women. PICTURES Pictures—the very word takes us back to childhood days, and a panorama of impressions come before our vision, from them until now. Today, pictures are no less impressive, and no less important in the formation of character and an inspiration to the soul. Recently a notable and inspiring event occurred in Chicago. The scene was the nationally famous and beautifully appointed Appomattox Club parlers. Automobiles of every classic description drew up before the entrance, beautifully gowned ladies and perfectly attired gentlemen, all of our group, stepped from them and entered the atmosphere of culture and refinement. A historical event was to take place, amid entrancing lighting effects, it was the unveiling of a work of art, a picture representing our boys in the World War. It is the first of a series of paintings to represent the soldiers of our group in all wars in which America has fought. It was a remarkable occasion. The chief speakers, beside the artist himself were honored veterans, wearing their badges of great bravery, won on the field of battle in the very war represented in the picture. The artist is one of our own, an Indianian by nativity, a disciple of Henry M. Tanner, in Pays, and one whose work everywhere has achieved distinction and renown. His name: William Edonard Scott, tell it to your children. Mr. Scott was compelled to paint this picture from description and imagination, because he had been refused as an artist in the camouflaged art section of the army on account of his color. 'But we have our lesson: We must open the door of opportunity for our own artists, writers and thinkers, and we must place their finished products in our homes, offices, schools, churches everywhere human eyes may fall. We are doing it more than ever. We must do it more. Madam P.E. Frisby HAIR GROWER AND SCALP SPECIALIST THE WOMEN'S HERALD Guaranteed to Beautify and Promote the Growth of Hair.

JONES FAVORS UNION OF NEGRO WORKERS Says Lasting Adjustment Between Capital and Labor Can Only Be Reached When All Factors Of Labor Are Considered Tells Women's Presbyterian Home Missionary That Nature Aids Protest And Denial Of Opportunity To Race Brings Dire Consequences. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 17.—Eugene Kinckie Jones of the National Urban League, was one of the speakers at the Reconstruction and Readjustment Congress held at Washington in connection with the inauguration of James Stanley Durkee as President of Howard University, November 12-13, 1919. He spoke on the subject. "Negro and Labor," emphasizing the fact that a lasting adjustment between capital and labor can only be reached when all the factors of labor are considered and that a very important source of labor supply—the Negro has heretofore been disregarded—a source important enough to be a stumbling block in labor's advance. He further said, in speaking of the attitude of the employer towards the Negro working man: "The employer of labor, first desires to secure a profit from the labor of each man who works. He also unconsciously has a preference for men of his own color, but is perfectly willing to use Negroes in almost any capacity when there is no general objection to them on the part of the white employees." As to the attitude of the white employees: when unorganized there is little objection to Negroes being employed in skilled positions and to their being gradually promoted to the higher skilled and better paid jobs. When unions are organized in industries where Negroes have already secured work; but practically no encouragement is offered for more to enter. In many instances, there is a definite tendency to oppose them. Practically no apprenticeships are offered. For example, it is well known that it is almost impossible for a Colored person to become an apprentice in the plumbing trade. The Nationals and International in labor circles now claim that there will be no discrimination against Negroes. In fact, they forbid it but we cannot overlook the fact that the locals, after all determine who shall actually enter the organization as bona fide member with the chance to work at the trade. As a rule, Negroes are suspicious of unions, with but little sympathy towards the Negroes who advocate affiliation on the part of the Negro workingmen with white unions. However, the unions will never be able to muster Negro workmen, now constituting one-seventh of the labor supply of America. And Negroes will be unable to attain their position in the labor world without in a large measure affiliating with organized labor groups. It is inevitable that an adjustment of some kind must be made. Whether it will be through the affiliation of Negroes directly with white labor organizations or through the formation of Negro labor organizations that will eventually affiliate with labor, but in the meanwhile will bargain with labor and capital alike, is the question which the local situation in any industry must determine. The fact remains that Negroes must organize in industry for self-protection and self-preservation. NATURE AIDS IN PROTEST NEW YORK—E. K. Jones, Executive Secretary of the N. U. L., addressed the Woman's Presbyterial Home Missionary Society of New York repre senting 55 churches, on the subject, "Social service among Negroes." The meeting of from three to five delegates from each church was held in the Assembly Room of the Board of Presbytery at 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Mr. Jones said in part, "Social Service is generally interpreted, as referring to the prevention or reduction of poverty, crime and disease. To religious workers it means in addition the spreading of the gospel and bringing the religion of Jesus Christ into the hearts of men. For the Negro cannot reach the average level of culture and progressive standards maintained by other peoples. The Negro's needs are chiefly economic but industrial opportunity will be forever denied colored men unless they are accorded their other human rights and without which self-respect and respect from others cannot be secured. The present industrial unrest and turmoil which have enveloped the they do not receive a reason they do not receive a reason the fruits of their labor. the results of their labor. able. able. able. and are malice.

Labor on the other hand this denial to the Negro of the chance to participate in its negro- itions is liable to master its full potential force. Here we are observing as as many social problems the back fire of a lower standard. Those reaching for better things are retarded in their progress.
