BILL TO ABOLISH JIM CROW CARS DEFEATED Only Twelve Members Of House Of Representatives Vote In Favor Of Madden's Amendment GOVERNMENT REPORT CLEARS 368TH REGT. Investigation Shows Jim-Crow Discrimination on Transport; Regiment Was Not Equipped For Advance In Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Had No Definite Orders As To Objectives WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18—The Secretary of War authorizes the following statement with regard to the 388th Infantry Regiment. The 368th Infantry went of France as a part of the 92nd Division. Its company officers and enlisted personnel were Negroes. The field and staff officers were white. About September 28, 1915, this regiment was detached from its division and became part of a mixed brigade commanded by a French officer and forming part of the French division, and thereafter throughout September it participated in the Mme Argonne offensive. On the 28th day of September the 3rd Battalion, consisting of companies M, K and L, continued the advance of previous days and parts of it reached a position known as the Dromadaire trench. About 12 o'clock noon its line broke and a retirement in some confusion was made. The line was reestablished, but again broke at about 6 o'clock in the evening and, with the exception of certain elements of the battalion, retired again to the position of the supporting company. These two courtsmartial trials, the result of which not have as yet received the final action of the President, and therefore, cannot be commented upon in this statement. In my own examination of the records of these trials, however, I became satisfied required a most careful and impartial examination. A number of reports found their way into the newspapers of the country based upon these withdrawals which have been assumed to show general unreliability in battle on the part of the Negro troops. On the other hand, in some newspapers of this country, particularly those printed for circulation among Negroes, highly colored occultations have been made in regard to the treatment of this regiment from the time it left the United States, alleging generally, (1) that its spirit and morale were broken by race discrimination; (2) that its white field officers fell short of their duty in the field; (3) that the regiment was inadequately equipped with maps, wire capture and signalling devices, and (4) that the withdrawals in question were offered under orders. I directed the Inspector General of the Army to make a searching investigation into the whole situation covering all the allegations which have from time to time appeared in the press on the subject. I have before me the report of the Inspector General. An officer of long experience, high character and judicial temperament conducted in the inquiry. He examined in all forty-four witnesses, field officers, noncommissioned officers, and other witnesses. The report is exhaustive and shows the following facts: (1) The allegations of race discrimination are based upon the assignment of staterooms, dining rooms and deck space on board the George Washington on the trip to France. In fact, the staterooms assigned to Colored officers were equal in character and location to those assigned to white officers of corresponding grades and were no more crowded than the latter. The after dining room assigned to Colored officers was equal in every respect to that assigned to the white officers, though somewhat smaller. Both dining rooms were located on the same deck, and the food served and service given in them were of the same quality. The principal reason for assigning Colored officers to a separate dining room was the fact that its size lent itself well to the accommodation of the officers of a regiment. The after end of one deck overlooked a portion of a lower deck upon which band converts were given. The space for spectators were divided between Colored and white officers. While by this arrangement white and Colored officers were given like accommodations, this separation was unnecessary and should not have been made. (2) The 38th Infantry had not had serious battle experience prior to its assignment to the French brigade. It was expected to operate as a liaison organization, maintaining contact with combat forces on either side, but not itself primarily as an attacking force. In the development of the battle it became necessary to use the regiment in attack. Advance Through Dense Forest (3) The ground over which the 368th infantry advanced was extremely difficult. Originally, it was, a largely dense forest. This forest has been blasted away by four years of fighting and the undergrowth which had grown up made it in many places a dense jungle. Throughout this jungle were masses of tall intermixed groups of all kinds and numerous treches. All of this made advance and control of troops most difficult. The action in which the resident was engaged developed at times intremless shell, machine gun and rickey bay and subjected these troops to a severe red. (1) The regiment was not fully supplied with wire cutters, maps and signalling devices. This was, in part due to the fact that the troops were serving at the time with the French, from whom the supply was finally received, the delay being caused by the The St. Louis Argus hurried movement of the regiment and the assumption on the part of the French that it would be supplied from American deposits and on the part of the Americans that it would be supplied by the French with whom it was serving, a misunderstanding explained only by the confusion and emergencies of battle. (5) The general nature of the task of the 368th Infantry was such that exact and definite orders as to objectives was practically impossible and it had to be left to the judgment and initiative of unit commanders. (6) There is little ground for criticizing the action of battalion commanders. Possible errors made by them were no greater than normal. The difficult character of the ground and the relatively wide front of operations made constant contact with battalion commanders impractical, and the Inspector General finds that there is no foundation for the allegations of misconduct on the part of the field officers. In some newspaper accounts alleged that friendly artillery fire fell short and demoralized our men. The evidence shows that a few artillery shells did fall short, causing light casualties, but that it was not sufficiently serious to cause any demoralizing effects and that under the conditions was probably unavoidable. (8) The charge that there was a lack of proper artillery support apparently grew out of the fact that there was no general artillery preparation for the advance of the 386th Regiment, it having been the expectation of those in Command that the advance of the forces on the east and west would cause the withdrawal of the enemy in front of the 386th. This apparently did not happen and the regiment, therefore found more serious opposition than had been anticipated. From the foregoing it is clear that the incidents arose in the midst of the battle in which the 3rd Battalion was advancing under most unusual conditions and where the judgment of officers untried in battle, however well-trained, might easily er, and as to the two withdrawals, there is strongly supported evidence that orders from some squares were carried forward by some runners, dissecting the withdrawals, although orders had been given after the noon withdrawal on the 28th that so withdrawal order, not in writing and signed by the battalion commander, should be obeyed. The investigation showed that no such written order had been issued. The circumstances disclosed by a detailed study of the situation do not justify many of the highly colored account which have been given of the behavior of the troops in this action, and they afford no basis at all for any of the general assumptions with regard to the action of Colored troops in this battle or elsewhere in France. On the contrary, it is to be noted that many Colored officers, and particularly three in the very battalion here under discussion, were decorated with distinguished Service Crosses for extraordinary herois under fire. I authorize the publication of this statement in order that justice may be done to the officers, white and Colored, and to the men of this regiment, and in the hope that a reedal of the facts may make prejudice and distorted discussion impossible in the future. PROTEST AGAINST BISHOP EMPLOYING WHITE ATTORNEY BALTIMORE. Nov. 29—An evidence of the public disdissatisfaction with men who employ white lawyers to fight their legal battles was manifested late recently when the African Order of Owls passed resolutions condoning such action of Bishop John Albert Johnson. Bishop Johnson was called upon to answer to an injunction in the Superior Court of the city filed by Rev. John Offer Curtis, who claimed that the Bishop removed him from his charge without cause. Curtis procured three lawyers to press his claims, while the Bishop was regretted by white attorney. The resolution states that the "African Methodist Church is setting a bad example for its large constituency to follow in passing over the heads of so many able colored attorneys to place the people's money in the hands of a white man. PEORIA SOCIAL AND RECREATION CENTER WILL COST $20,000 Associated Negro Press PEORIA, Lt. Nov. 72—Great impulses has been given the 120 000 drive for a social and recreational center for the Negroes of Peoria because of the physical endurance of the movement by the Peoria Association of Commerce at its meeting. Rev. P. W. Peutek, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, which is the originator of the movement, believes that under this encouragement the Colored people may even exceed the quota set for them. MASONS HONOR CRITTENDEN CLARK The Past Masters' Council of the Masonic fraternity in St. Louis paid a fitting tribute to the first Grand Master elected from St. Louis during the past thirty years, in the form of a unique banquet at Masonic Hall Thursday evening, Nov. 20. Grand Master Crittendon Clark was the honored guest. This Masonic family gathering was considered most fitting at this time, owing to the high esteem the craft holds for the present Grand Master. Grand Officers and visiting fellow crafts from out in the state joined in the celebration. The committee in charge used every effort to see that not any in the past surpassed this affair for beauty and entertainment. Geo. L. Vaughn, P. M., McOheen Alexander Lodge No. 3, presided. COLORED PEOPLE TO RAISE $5,000 IN PROVIDENT DRIVE Mr. James L. Usher, director of the campaign among the Colored people for the Prdvident Association, is highly pleased with the spirit shown by the captains in organizing their teams and is satisfied that the small sum of $5,000 apportioned to the Colored people will be raised without much difficulty. The Provident Drive this year is for $150,000. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1919, over $30,000 was spent among the Colored people. Two thousand four hundred and twenty families came under its care, of whom $42 were Colored. Four Colored workers were employed. Over $40,000 will be spent among the Colored people this year in relief and social service, $10,000 alone being set aside for financing the Urban League, which will endeavor to improve the health, housing, recreational, industrial and social conditions of the Colored people of St. Louis. Business men, school teachers, doctors, lawyers, and laymen will be offered the privilege of sharing a part of the $5,000 to be raised among the Colored people. The organization of the drive will be as follows: Mr. James L. Usher, Director; Capitana, Mr. D. E. Gordon, in charge of teachers; Mr. M. J. Olliam, in charge of Business Moe; Mr. J. E. McWorter, in charge of Post-Office Employees; De. J. W. McCllellan, in charge of payrolls; De. C. H. Turpan, in charge of miscellaneous group, and Mrs. H. B. Smith in charge of the theatre. The captains, with their lieutenants, will make a thorough canyase of the Colored sections beginning next Monday. Let us help ourselves by contributing to this worthy cause. WASHINGTON BOARD OF EDUCATION STILL STANDS BY BRUCE EF Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D.C. Nov. 29.—The board of education gave further expression of its confidence in Prof. Roscio C. Bruce, head of the Colored schools, by voting him a two-week vacation to recuperate from the strain of the recent investigation into his administration. The board suggested that he spend the period visiting schools in other cities. Prof. Bruce also sat in at the executive session of the Board preceding the open meeting. That he attend the meetings of the Board to make suggestions on matters affecting the Colored schools was one of the recommendations of the majority of the committee which investigated his office and found him competent for the position. Although the Board has disposed of the Bruce case, members of the Parents' League continued to picket the Franklin School, where Bruce has his office. HARLEM TO HAVE NEW RACE BANK NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 26.—Plans for the establishment of a bank for Negroes in New York were discussed at a meeting of business men of the race in Lafayette all, Harlem. Augusta Duncan, the originator of the Ilea, preceded and preliminary funds to the amount of $10,000, were subscribed. The bank as proposed is to be customized for $1,000,000 and to be situated in Harlem. A committee of twenty-five headed by Junius M. Green was charged to proceed with the campaign for subcribers. It was also decided to form a business corporation to stimulate trade by Negroes between the United States and the West. Indian and South America. There is charge of the two projects stated that they are setting independently of any existing Negro organization. PALITIMO MESSAGES 19—Local colored and white minstrels have formed an organization for bettering the relations between the race. One of the means proposed is that the members exchange pulps so that colored minstrels may take their plea for justice, equal schools and "no Jim Craw carc straight to the ears of the white congregational." THREE WHITE MEN KILLED PROTECTING COLORED MAN Union Labor Leader In Louisiana, Suspected of Inciting Negroes. —White Union Makes Appeal To Government, Charging Murder To Lumber Company Thugs. Bogalusa, La., Nov. 22.—Three white men were shot to death and two wounded in a fight at a garage here today, in which several men attempted to prevent special policemen from arresting a Negro labor leader, suspected of inciting Negroes, and two white men who had carried shotguns to protect him while parading him down the main street of Bogalusa. Five Escape. During. Fight. Saul Dechus, the Negro, is president of a negro union. He escaped from the garage with four white men during the shooting. James Williams, brother of the slain leader, was arrested, charged with assault with intent to kill. Ask Government to Investigate. New Orleans, La., November 22. William L. Donnelas, general organizer of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and joiners of America, telegraphed Attorney General Palmer to night, asking an investigation of the ARGUS FOU JEH killing of three union men in Bologaus today in a battle with special policemen. Copies were sent to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Secretary Wilson. The telegram follows: "President of Central Trades Council of Bogatusa, La., and two other men murdered, by thugs in employ of Great Southern Lumber Company. We have asked repeatedly that an investigation be made of conditions in Bogatusa, without any f. If something is not done at one, we are going to take the law in our hands." GEORGIA TRYING TO WIPE OUT ILLITERACY BEFORE 1920 CENSUS MOULTRIE, Ga., Nov. 29.—A campaign will be launched at a meeting here Saturday which will have for its object the freeing of Colquitt County of illiteracy among white adults by the time the 1920 census is taken. It is proposed to establish schools in every school district of the county where adults can be taught to read and write. A survey has already been taken and it shows that there are some eight or ten white adults in every school district in the county who are illiterate. The meeting which will be held here Saturday will make final plans for the establishment of adult schools. Teachers of the county school system have agreed to do the teaching and the financial arrangements have already been made. Considerable work of this kind will also be done among the Negroes of the county and much of the illiteracy among that race will be wiped out before the end of the year. GOVERNMENT ASKED TO NAME RADICAL PAPERS SUSPECTED By Associated Press News BALTIMORE, M.D., Nov. 29.—In reply to the report on radical newspapers filed with Attorney General Palmer in Washington alleging that radical Negro papers—which are not named—are stirring up colored folks to opposing the Government, concerted action is planned by the four colored newspapers of this city. It is expected that an unannounced visit will be issued stating that in the country-wide roundup of J. W. W. and other Red agitators, not a single colored person has been arrested or even suspected in Baltimore and Maryland. The Negro press of this city rightly represents blanket accusations directed against all colored persons and calls upon the Department of Justice to call the them. The Negro press would "applaud" the officials. The four colored persons in Baltimore stand for: 1. The right of Negro to raise and publish public office. 2. The right to be withdrawn, granted and worsened by the Court. 3. Four schools to offer. 4. Establishment of the Jim Crow Car. 5. The right of Negro to possess property and live anywhere without permission. 6. The right of Negro later to organize. 7. The right of accused person to access of law and the enjoyment of rights. Far from approving the Government, collected newspapers there are but advocating the rights guaranteed to all citizens by Constitution of the United States Three ways to get quick results: Telegrams, Telephone and Tela Argus. LINCOLN 16 SUMNER 0 ST. LOUIS HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL ELEVEN LOSES TURKEY DAY GAME ON ACCOUNT OF NERVOUSNESS. Capt. Americus Middlebrook Seriously Hurt. Has Hemorrhage After Game: Sumner High's football eleven went down to defeat before the squad from Lincoln Institute, Jeff City, Thanksgiving day, score; 10 to 6. Lincoln counted on two touchdowns, one goal from touchdown and one goal from the field. Only one serious injury resulted from the game. This happened to Captain Ameriens Middlebrook of the Sumner team, who was carried from the field and had a hemorrhage. Both eleven were nervous at the out set of the game, but Lincoln quickly recovered while the local boys never regained, their equilibrium. This accounted for their defeat. Their attack was wreak and costly fumbles prevented gains. Lincoln, on the other hand was more accurate and was brilliant in executing long forward passes About 3000 persons, mostly school pupils, witnessed the game. The weather was disgracefully cold. SAYS NEGROES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AS BEFORE THE WAR PROVIDENCE, R. I. Nov. 29.—President John Hope, of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., who hard charge of the Colored Y. M. C. A. secretaries for 15 months in France, talked to a large audience in Trinity Auditorium on "The Negro in the War." Dr. Hope is a Brown graduate, class of 1894, and William W. Moss, a classmate, introduced him. In his address, Mr. Hope declared that "The Colored people in America will never again be the same as they were before the war, nor will the other people in America look upon them as they did before the war. The Negroes who saw service overseas have seen a country where the race question has been settled permanently, a country where all men, irrespective of race or color, are equal." After paying a tribute to the work and worth of Negro soldiers, in the combat units, President Hope said of those among the pioneers, "Here were men who never experienced a battle thrill during the 17 or 18 months they were in France. Day in and day out they worked, spurred on simply by the thought that they were doing their bit." He advised the Colored people of the North to keep the fires of patriotism burning, and his fellow Colored citizens to make the best possible use of what the learned during the world war. REY. LEWIS AT PLEASANT GREEN CHURCH Rev. J. L. Lewis of Memphis, Tenn., an able divine and speaker, will preach at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church at the night services Sunday, Nov. 30. Rev.

C., Nov. 22.—Wednesday of this week saw the sudden adjournment sine die of both houses of Congress. It was a special session on gathering up the fruits of the World Democracy War. The question of the rights for Colored Citizens at such a session should have been given sympathetic consideration especially in view of the mass attacks on the Colored race at home. Rep. Mason and Sen. Curtis had resolutions to investigate race riots. The Curtis resolution was considered by the Judiciary Committee. The N. A. A. C. P. presented data, the National Equal Rights League sent a delegation to the Committee after telegraphing Senate and House Chairmen repeatedly, asking said Committees to initiate an anti-lytching law, Senate Chairman Nelson said the telegrams had led to appointment of a sub-committee to investigate issue of constitutionality. There the riot bills stopped. Jim-Crow Cars. The most positive measure where legality was not in doubt was the Madden Bill against Jim-crow cars for inter-state passengers. This was given a full hearing before the Inter-State Commerce Committee of the House Colored men being heard. Two weeks ago the Esch Bill to return railroads to owners was reported without the Madden bill item. The National Equa Rights League telegraphed Rev. Madden who replied that he would move an amendment and asking assistance The League sent a delegation to the House and sent appeals by letter to every Northsidegressman, including 227 Republicans. Last Saturday the amendment was offered, debated and voted on and但但12 voted to abolish Jim-crow care and one of the 12 was a Democrat. The news of this vote has caused deep thought here as to how much relief and protection a Republican Congress affords the race, Nationality the National Equal Rights League is making an appeal to the entire race to make a stand with the regular session which begins December 1st. The League urges that Congressmen be urged to introduce a straight autlynching bill and especially that a desperate effort be made to have the Madden Amendment offered in the Senate on the second day of December. The League asks that all cites sens and all organizations at once write to every Northern senator to introduce or support an amendment obolishing interstate color segregation as the Railroad Bill is first on the calendar in the Senate. The League also urges that all protest to Northern Representatives the House vote against the Madden amendment and insist that it be brought up again and supported when the Railroad Bill comes back from the Senate for conurrence at this epoch it is now or never on abolishing Jim-crow cars. BURNING AT THE STAKE BARRARITY From the Chicago News Burning at the stake survives in c nlightened America In the present calendar there have been 11 occasions on which w uch action have been practiced in this county in the colored town. The suit rate of the sort was at Macon, Ga on Nov. 11. Other articles in mob have burned human beings this year in Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi and Texas. It appears that no pun ishment has been inflicted in any of the states participants in these objections of este saxagery. Local and state authorities seem to have taken no effective action against the morality thus set up. In insta- tance the Governor of a Southern State confessed himself utterly per- fectly to give with mob law. This and kindled manifestations clearly detective civilization to de- scribe to mildly have grown into nationalism. No part of the co- mplex situation has been dissected. Arise the need appears for favora- tion by Congress on the ratification attracted by Senator Cort of Kan- and R. Represented in Deer of Missouri culture for a thorough Federal inves- tigation of the horrible misfortune FEARLEST LEADERS NOW IN DEMAND. Hamilton, V.A. November 18, 1863. The Shift of absolutely instantaneous, unhidingling courage willingness to do extraordinary, thundery things; that one can do something that is in any way unusually great. The spirit which won the Great War; that is the spirit which was in the fighting men on the sea and on the land of Italy, of the United States of France, of England and of the nations that have stood with them; said Dr. James R. Grass principal of Hampton Institute, in a recent address on "Fearless Leadership," delivered in Ogden Hall before the entire Hampton School and a large group of visitors. Dr. Grigg added: "Let us not forget that that is exactly the spirit in which we need to face the tasks of peace, of everyday life, where courage, daring and rejoicing in danger are just as much needed as in any of the adventures and enterprises of war. "We must have in these days, when we need them perhaps as never before men who are afraid of nothing, when they are engaged in what they know is right. All races need such leaders in every part of our land and in every land, men and women of this kind, of this spirit, are demanded. . . . When it is hard and perilous for us to do the right thing, may we have the grace to do it instantly and thankfully." CHICAGO COMMISSION MAKES A REPORT ON RACE RELATIONSHIP CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 29.—The Commission of Race Relationships appointed by Governor Lowden, consisting of Edgar A. Bancroft, Chairman, Julius Rosenwald, Victor F. Lawson, Harry Eugene Kelly, William Scott Bond, Edward Osgood Brown, George Cleveland Hall, Edward H. Morris, Robert S. Abbott, Adelbert H. Roberts, George H. Jackson and L. K. Williams, make the following statement to the public: "Report to the Chicago Commission on Race Relationships appointed by Governor Lowden, indicate a continued state of unrest in neighborhoods where white and black people live. While these reports are free from alarming indications, they are of such a nature as to cause the commission to urge co-operation of the public in quieting a deplorable tendency. "We feel it the duty of members of both races to be calm, patient and tolerant. Our commission is carefully investigating, the cause of the calamity which overtook our city last summer. We hope to be able in due course to suggest means by which another such disgrace may be avoided. "We urge all citizens to aid us in our work by discouraging any attitude or language that tends to racial hostility." MISSOURI DEMOCRATS TO START A NEGRO STATE ORGANIZATION SEDALIA, MO., Nov. 22.—An effort will be made by the Democratic State Committee in Sedalia, Dec. 17, to form a state-wide Democratic Negro organization with four representatives, two men and two women, from each of the 16 congressional districts. The meeting also will be attended by Gov. Gardner and other Democratic State officials. Frank Armstrong, executive secretary of the Democratic State Committee, in announcing plans for the organization said there were at least 15,000 Negro Democrats in Missouri.

The Byrd-Ewing Stock Company No. 2 is the offering for Thanksgiving week at the Booker Washington Theater. Billie-Ewing heads the company and is supported by a retinue of capable performers, consisting of: John H. Jenkins, Clarence Stevens, Goldie Hegelpath, Nettie Stevens, Rosa Knight, Josephine Byrd, Hazel Thomas, Cladys, Hayden and Florence Brown. The musical comedy setting is in a cabaret where a couple of "easies" spend all their money and repent later. They have plenty of friends white sailing on the golden sea of pleasure, but when on the rocks they are deserted, except by those whom they have ignored. Its a good, moral lesson for the spendthrift. The offering presents a good opportunity for music, comedy and dancing. Jenkins, as Stock of Dollars," is the fall guy. His satchel of greenbacks does not go far. Ewing, as "Loving Daddy," is the dandy who soon hits the rocks. There is a continuous round of good specially numbers and the applause is generous. The engagement is for one week and will close Sunday night. Byrd and Ewing's Co. No. 1, is playing in Chicago, headed by Joe Byrd and Jon Tally. Mrs. Ewing joined the No. 2 company in St. Louis, the middle of this week. GEORGE FREEMAN'S OVERSEAS PLAYERS NEXT WEEK. St. Louisans will get a chance to see George Freeman and his Overseas Players, at the booker Washington Theater next week. These players come here with a reputation of being the best on the vanderville stage this season. The performance is absolutely clean without any hint of suggestiveness. The principles are high-class, and the supporting company is said to be the best obtainable. A chorus of pretty girls with dashing costumes, real singers and dancers, accompanies the outfit. Among the leading members of the company are: George Freeman, the popular comedian; Miss Toy Lorraine, talented character actress; Madam Moneca Castella, the West Indian prima dohna; Irby Trimble, the graceful soubrette; Stick White, the little man with the big voice; Billy and Susie Freeman, Augustus Lewis and others. One of the leading features is a male quartette in a burst of real harmony. This show should be a winner and crowded houses nightly is anticipated. Slight. Raise In Prices. Beginning Monday there will be a slight raise in prices at the Booker Washington Theater, Mr. Turpin has been paying the government, tax ever since the raise on account of the war. He thought the war would be over soon and personally assumed the extra expense. With the high cost of commo lifes and the tax still on, he has been forced to throw up his hands. Now, the patrons must carry the burden and the future prices will be 17c, 22c and 28c. Children like. The big legal sensation, "Are You Legally Married?" will be shown at the Jeastamere Theater on Sunday and Monday. The story is based on a United States Supreme Court decision that was handed down in the case of a couple divorced in one state. The wife then remarried in another. Her marriage was not legal, for the state in which she was remarried did not recognize the validity of the divorce granted, in the other state. Therefore she was guilty of bigamy. There are over six hundred thousand, it is estimated conservatively, happily married couples in the United States who are affected by the condition and absolute correctness of the facts, and legal revelations it discloses. One would be tempted to question whether such is in case with them. See if you can get the answer at the Jeastamere, Sunday and Monday. "The Southman." Another big feature of the week at the Jostamere will be "The拐拐ers" on Wednesday and Thursday. It is a big moving, masterful and wholesome in its human interests. Thrilling in interest, absorbing in situation, powerful in progression from start to finish. "The Spoilers" is a thrilling red blooded story of strong men, battling for supremacy, with all their power of mind and muscle—alert for every ceast of chance. The management of the Jegtamere announce that beginning with this Saturday, the Fox Specials will again be run regularly. The "Arizona Catcatch," a sensational Western photoplay, featuring the fearless Edythe Sterling, will be shown at the Comet Theater Sunday. Other pictures booked at the Comet for the week are: "Out of the Shadow," Monday: "The Black Gate," Tuesday: Chas. Ray, Wednesday: Kathleen, Mavourneen." \ Thursday, and "Chasing Rainbows," Saturday. "WHEN BEARCAT WENT DRY." AT THE PENDLETON. The Pendleton Theatre, which was closed for a few days, is again open. The special feature for this Sunday and Monday will be the big super-feature, "When Bearent Went Dry." "It is a photoplay that is full of thrills. It has the suspense that will hold your attention from the very beginning until the last foot of the picture. The story of a mountain boy raised among surroundings that are primitive in the extreme but who has the nobility of character that we are told belonged to the famous knights of old is the hero of this spirited picture. With feuds,ights, illicit stills and a love romance of great charm a picture was contrived that should bring large houses to the Pendleton Theatre.

A TIMELY MEETING. The coming together of a representative group of Negro voters at Pythian Hall a short time ago marks the dawning of a new day in politics in this city. The open-house expressions from many of those present show a determination on the part of the Negro of this city to use his power and influence for the political advancement of the race. Politics governs the nation. Commonwealths, municipalities and even the homes are affected by the influence of politics. Races, classes and groups are struggling for representation in the law-making bodies of this land as never before. The Negro in the past has been contented to allow the other fellow to represent him and his in the party councils, and, as a result, we have not made much progress. We can boast of our wonderful progress along all lines except in politics. We have been told by "hand-picked" leaders to "get something" and then seek offices. We work and make it and let the other fellow make the laws and enjoy it. The time is ripe for the Negro in St. Louis to make a move for more representation in the party councils and law-making bodies of this city and state. Our brethren in other cities have set the pace. Race men all over this land are awakening to their real condition. There is so much to be gained by giving race men represent us. We have no desire to get away from the Republican-party, the party of our fathers, but we are in dead earnest about getting closer to the principles of that party. In fact, our contentions and unrest are due to the failure of the leaders to show that democratic spirit in carrying out the principles of the party. We are told that we are weak and the time is not here yet for us to ask for more. We are weak only as we allow ourselves to be made so. Right in this city, in the Seventeenth Ward, the Negro voter is in a large majority, but he allows the other fellow to represent him.

GOVERNOR GARDNER AND THE MOBS. A little more than ten days ago, law and order broke down in this state when a mob publicly lynched a man for the mere crime of "suspected robbery." Because the vietnam was a Negro, the meting out of summary punishment by a mob no doubt, seemed the right thing to do in the eyes of Governor Frederick Gardner, as he has persistently refused to say a word in defense of law and order. A murderer and robber was lynched in this state about nine months ago (White) and the Governor and the Attorney General offered every possible assistance to the local authorities in helping to run down and punish the perpetrators of the crime. But in this case, where the alleged crime was not great, the Governor has refused to raise his voice. Surely the Governor could have made at least the formal stереotyped statement that the State stood for law and order, or promised an investigation or offered the State's aid. None of these he did so far as we have been able to learn. The local Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. appealed to him, but he has maintained his silence. If Governor Gardner does not realize the danger of assenting to mob violence in this State, the people have made a grave blunder in electing him chief executive of the State. Yet, on the other hand, if he understands just what it means to turn the State over to mob violence, and has by his silence given his consent and approval of the action of the mob at Moberly, he should be impeached in office for he has no regard for his official oath. Personally, we have in the past had a high regard for the Governor, and had thought him to be a man of high standing, broad and comprehensive in his views on public questions and to say the least, we never seven suspected him of acquiescing or assenting to mob rule in this State in any form, but his action in the Moberly mob case "shows him up," just the caliber he is. Perhaps he is playing the game of politics and is catering to the "Red" element to send him to Congress. Poor, misguided Governor, can't he read the signs of the times? Doesn't he know that the people are opposing the Reds everywhere? However, since he has been so silent on such an important issue as between good government and lawlessness, and inasmuch as he has chosen the latter, it is no matter for him that he has brought his political career to an end. The people in this State await the chance to rebuke him for his short sightedness by returning him to his private business, and it is the hope of the writer that he will make enough coffins to bury all the mob (Reds) in this State.

KILIS MAN WHO RUINED DAUGHTER his investigation. According to the story told by May Green, 19 years old, and sister of Dena, the latter had been out riding with Duncan on previous occasions. Monday night, May told the sheriff, Dena had a date with the automobile man. They met in the highway seven hundred yards, from the Green home early in the evening and re- laxed about 11:30. Limited Negro Press MADISON-Wi. Nov 29 - Jack Green 28 years old. Lancaster has attended the blight upon his 14-year- old daughter's honor. Now he is really to pay the penalty if his plea for lenency falls. Green was sentenced by Circuit Judge George Clementson in Lancaster for the murder of George Duncan 28 years old.

Green was arranged before Justice C W Burrows and bound over to circuit court. He has retained W. J. Brennon as his attorney. Jack Green was waiting for them when they drove up the road. May told the sheriff. After exchanging words with Duncan, the father fired from the rear of the car as Duncan drove away, according to the girl. From the position of the car Duncan is believed to have gone on until the feet of the highest hit him. NEEDHAM ROBERTS DRAWS CROWDS.

CINCINNATI WILL SPEND $720,000 FOR COLORED SCHOOL CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 29.—Approximately $720,000 is to be spent by the Board of Education in constructing a school for Negroes at the Southwest corner of Seventh and Cutter street, extending to and facing Sinton Park. Little time will be lost in getting the improvement under way for the board has ordered that estimates be obtained, the money having been authorized at the election. The school will be named in honor of Harriet Boecher Stowe, who wrote "Upcle Tom's Cabin," while a resident of Cincinnati. Property for the improvement was procured several years ago, the lot, having a frontage of 300 feet on Seventh street, as well as on Bam street, and 135 feet on Cutter street. The improvement will be of the modified Spanish Renaissance style of architecture. The school will contain 30 regular class rooms, such as the offices of the principal and teachers' and doctors' rooms. Much attention will be paid to the manual training departments as well as to the auditorium. This, when used in connection with the gymnasium will contain a total of 1,000 seats. Adjoining it will be committee rooms. The branch library, which, as in the case of the auditorium, is outside the working scheme of the school proper, will be available for the public as well as for the school and will contain reading rooms, stair rooms and working rooms. A swimming pool will be provided for gymnasium use. The location of the pool, beneath the auditorium, gives an arrangement whereby the plunge may be used by the public during the summer vacation periods and on evenings when not in use by school children. Separate locker and shower rooms will be provided for the public. The exterior The Only McNichols Market at Eleventh Columbia Grafonola Columbia Grafonola will be of pressed brick, with terra cotta trimmings and the roof. The plan in general is Heshaped, with the balance in mass, obtained by placing the manual training and household arts department on one side and opposite the auditorium and branch library. Read!
