ASS'T POLICE CHIEF IS ACCUSED OF LYNCHING Voters Declare For Racial Representation At a meeting at Pythian Hall, held Wednesday night, the committee of nine, appointed at a previous meeting made its report to the Citizens' Conference. The report was received with much enthusiasm and was unanimously adopted, which was as follows: TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CITIZENS' CONFERENCE: Your committee, herefore appointed, to draft plans and policies for the future action of the Conference, submits the following: We believe the result of the recent elections indicate widespread distrust of the Democratic Party, and the rapid growth in Missouri of sentiment hostile to the policies of the Wilson administration. We say with confidence that Missouri will cast its electoral vote in 1820 for the Republican candidate for President and elect a Republican governor and state ticket, together with a Republican delegation in Congress. While optimistic in this regard, we also feel that we would be derelict in our duty if we failed to point out, in time to remove it, a danger apparent at the threshold of success; that in our opinion may impair complete victory. A coterie or so-called state makers are holding conferences to select a ticket for the Republic primary, and according to statements made by them, the question of who will be the office holders has been determined—except, of course, the unimportant detail of approval by the voters of the Party. The Colored voters of the city have a representative on the Republic State Committee, from the 12th District, who has not participated in any of these conferences, nor as far as we have been informed, has any Colored man been invited to participate, who might speak and reflect the sentiment of the Colored voters on the questions of vital importance to the Republican Party of the State, regardless of the fact that the candidacy of some individuals, of the personnel of the ticket, may be objectionable to the Colored voters of the district and State. The Colored vote of Missouri at the next election will number more than 60,000, and without the aid of this support the Republican Party will be hopelessly defeated. We feel, therefore, that it is our duty to warn the responsible Party leaders that if a Republican victory in Missouri is to be achieved next year, the candidates on the ticket must be of a type to insure the confidence and respect of the Colored voters, and that the plea of Party harmony will no longer be heeded to obtain continued subservience to ward and district bosses, whose only political asset in the past has been their so-called ability to exploit the Colored vote. No man, or set of men, controls the Negro vote. We direct attention to the fact that throughout the United States there is an increasing desire and demand upon the part of the Colored voters for representation in the legislative halls of the State and Nation. in the 12th District this sentiment prevails, and it is felt that the interest and welfare of the greatest number of voters who cast Republican ballots can best be served by a representative from a member of the race that furnishes this majority; and we feel that loyalty to our race, as well as loyalty to the Republican Party and its principles, demands of us such political action as will bring about this result. We feel that the representative in Congress from the 12th Congressional District no longer represents the 'sentiment of a majority of the Republican voters of the district; that his usefulness as a representative from this district is impaired; that the controversy promoted through "The Gensory," the publication controlled by the brother of L. C. Dyer, Congressman from the 12th District, has aroused such opposition that would Jeopardize Party harmony with his continued leadership. These repeated assaults by this publication, upon such Republicans as Henry Kiel, elected Mayor of St. Louis by the largest majority ever, given a candidate for that office; John Sehmloch, Chairman of the City Committee, whose political and personal integrity has never been questioned; Jacob L. Babler, one of the strongest members of the Republican National Committee, through whose efforts the National Convention may be brought to St. Louis, and upon Selden P. Spencer, makes the further consideration of Dyer impossible. As an outgrowth of the demand for representation, the Colored voters of the 12th District note the responsiveness to and recognition of this sentiment by the Republican Party in other cities and states, by the nomination and election of members of the Board of Aldermen in the different cities, and election of representatives and senators in the elegiatures of several of the states. We also direct attention to the fact that, in several of the districts, throughout the country, where the Colored vote is larger in number, the representative Colored men of the district are putting forward Colored men as candidates for the legislature and representatives in Congress, in the endeavor to secure fair and just recog- The St. Louis Argus nition for their racial group in the law-making bodies of the State and Nation; and we believe that the changing conditions in this country make it imperative upon the part of every Colored voter in the 12th District, and in the City of St. Louis, to contribute his share toward racial progress in elective representation. We direct attention also to the fact that Hawaii, Porto Rico, The Philippines, are each represented in the Congress by one of their own people, set the Negros, numbing one-tenth of the population of the United States, have no representation; that in the City of St. Louis, where the Negros cast more than 15,000 votes, they have no representation in the-Board of Aldermen of the City or in the Legislature of the State. The growth and development of the Negro in commercial and civic affairs and in the professions has developed a class of men who better understand the needs, the hopes and aspirations of their class, and are better fitted to represent and reflect the real and true sentiment of our people than any other; that the opportunity of do for ourselves and serving the cause of progress is our paramount duty, and that we urge upon the Conference a policy for constructive leadership, having for its aim and object elective representation for our group SHRINERS TO HAVE ELECTION SUNDAY Medinah Temple No. 39, Ancient Order, Nobles of Mystic Shrine, will meet Sunday at their Temple, 3019 Easton Avenue at 3 o'clock, when they will elect officers to guide the destiffs of that body for the next ensuing year. Medinah Temple is the largest organized body of Colored Masons in the United States. PEERLESS KNIGHTS IN DETROIT, MICH. Mr. J. W.

A., there was a very interesting meeting which had to do with the report of the delegates who went to the Convention at Detroit. Many interesting things were said concerning the work of the Y. M. C. A. during the war period, and also some advances that were to be made during the future. The delegates who spoke were: Mr. Jones, Executive Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who gave some general aspects of the convention and in which he told about the big impression that came from meeting men of great wealth and power giving their time and energy toward the Y. M. C. A. movement. One thing of particular interest, Mr. Jones, told of the multi-millionaire who is the president of the Detroit Association and whom he saw on a Sunday morning teaching a class in Sunday School as well as directing the music of the choir. This, he said, was an inspiring example of Service. Dr. Peck spoke along the lines of the progress which the Detroit Negroes are making and brought out many interesting points by which many could have profiled. Other speakers of the afternoon were Mr. Frank L. Williams, who gave some general views of the Convention and also the main thoughts of some of the principal topics discussed, and Mr. Lucian P. Garrett, who spoke on some of the advances in physical education as brought out by the Physical Directors' Conference, which convened on Monday and Tuesday after the close of the main convention. DR. JASPER TAPPAN PHILLIPS DECLINES. ( Special to the Arcs ) NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Dec. 3—Dr. Jasper Tappan Phillips, one of Nashville's most progressive citizens, finds it impossible to accept the recent appointment to a position as interne in the new St. Louis City Hospital. Dr. Phillips was one of eight, from over the country, appointed. He has been requested to remain in Nashville. R. W. Kent of the Kent Auto Delivery Co. and Henry Burke, were appointed Deputy Sheriffs, by Hon George P. Weinbrenner, present high sheriff of this City. This makes four Negroes that have been appointed by Mr. Weinbrenner, he having appointed two when he entered office three years ago. R. W. Kent and Henry Burke were appointed Deputy Sheriffs December 1st. BROTHERS GRANTED REPRIEVE RALEIGH: N. C., Den. 3.—Ralph and Sinclair Connor, brothers, sentenced to die in the electric chair, and only three days from their doom were granted a reprieve pending an appeal to the Supreme Court.

The museale and pageant at Pero College on Thanksgiving night, which was given for the combined benefit of the Pino St. Department Y. M. C. A. and the Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. was certainly a success' The program went through without a hitch. Beautiful musical numbers were rendered vocally and on piano and vignition by some of the best artists of the city. The representation of the different countries all over the world was skillfully done by the Poro Girls. Everyone had a good laugh when Africa came out carrying his spear and trusting neither the Future nor the Past. The proceeds from this concert, amounting to $47.75, were divided between the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. This is just another evidence of the interest of Mr. and Mrs. Malcine and the Poro Girls in these two institutions.

Y., Nov. 29 — The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public an emphatic perest sent to President Wilson against race segregation in the Congressional Library in Washington. The protest asserts that Colored people have been excluded from the public restaurant of the Library, and that Colored employees have been segregated in the lunch room. "We desire most emphatically to protest," says the letter to President Wilson, "against the policy adopted by those in charge of the Congressional Library of denying to Colored employees facilities which should be maintained for the use of all, and to the Colored people of Washington and of the country in general, the use of the restaurant maintained by federal taxes for the general public." The letter is signed by James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the Association. URBAN LEAGUE WORK SPREADS URBAN LEAGUE WORK SPREADS Jackson-Flids Over Four Hundred Negro Students in Northern Colleges. NEW YORK—Alexander L. Jackson, educational secretary of the National Urban League, New York City, returned from a recent trip to Boston and its colleges. While in Boston, he attended the Board meeting of the Boston Urban League, one of the newest branches of the National Urban League. The new offices of the League are located in South End Boston, on Trumbont street. Mr. Jackson reports that the Board meeting was full of enthusiasm, and reported that half of the league budget for the year 1922 had already been raised. The first public meeting of the Boston League will be held on December 8th, at which speakers of note will be present. The Executive Secretary, Matthew Bullock, reported that he had made a preliminary survey of the city which included the visiting of all the white social agencies in Boston, in which visits he met with a most hearty spirit of welcome and offers of cooperation. He also visited congested Negro districts to determine the most urgent needs to be met and the agencies its existence to meet them. Following his survey, he decided upon three immediate phases of work for the Negro which he presented to the Board and which will be followed out immediately. They consist of an organization of a men's club, a bureau of employment and vocational guidance for men and women, and juvenile court work. When these phases have been thoroughly organized, special work for boys will be started: Mr. Jackson's trip also included visits to Boston University, Massachusetts School of Technology and Harvard University, where he was seeking promising material for social workers among the students. He found about twenty students materialized in Boston University, six or eight in the Massachusetts School of Technology and forty at Harvard. In survey of northern univer-si-king recruits for social work, Jackson states that he has locat- more than four hundred stu-nts with the entire field- ered. Although he has be- able to reach any, considerable number of these personally, he has already interested several splendid young men and women in social work as a vocation. THREE NEW BOOKS DEALING ON RACE NEW YORK.—Colored people will be glad to learn that a great New York firm of publishers, Harcourt, Brace and Howe (in which Major J. E. Spriklar is a member of the board of directors), will soon publish three books dealing in one way or another with matters of vital interest to the race. The first of these, Dr. W. E. B. DuPois "Darkwater," will appear in January. It will be a volume of essays and sketches like the "Souls of black Folk," but maturer, richer, with a deeper race passion, and with a finer imaginative gift. Whether you like Dr. DuPois or not, whether you agree with him or not, you have not to admit that he is the greatest man of African blood in the world today, and that the world wide audience which he will win for a book like this will result in calculable benefit to the race. The second book, "The Shadow," by Mary White Owington; chairman of the N. A. A. C. P., is a novel of extraordinary interest. It also will appear in January. It deals with a Southern White girl of aristocratic family who has been left as an infant on the doorstep of a Negro caball, grows up in this environment believing herself Colored, and then at the age of twenty-one, learns of her real parentage, and goes out to start life, anew in the Northern White world. Her adventures North and South hold the attention from the first page to the last. This is not a book of prozagms, but a story of deep human interest and passionate sympathy. The third book, which will not be ready until next spring, is being prepared by: Miss Otington and M. T. Prichard, head of the Everett School, of Boston. It will be a school reader specially adapted to the needs of Col- BRILLIANT ORATOR HERE FOR SERIES OF RACE LECTURES LIEUTENANT D. L. REED. Rev. Dr. Daniel L.

Richardson, 3450 first Ave. The body accompanied by relatives of the deceased will be sent to Alabama Saturday for internment. loved children. Why should these children only study books that describe the achievements of the White Race and never mention the noble deeds and plougant words of Negroes? The new school reader is an answer to this question. It will introduce Colored children in the elementary schools to the best thoughts and the finest deeds of their own race. These three books, as soon as they are published, may be obtained from the Crista, or from any bookeller, or direct from the publishers. Harcourt Brace and Howe, Inc. 1 West 47th-New York Death. 3 Others Escape STARTLING DISCLOSURES AT GOVERNOR'S INVESTIGATION Colored "Speak Easy Joint" Proprietor Causes Arrest of Innocent Boys. Three sentenced to Penitentiary in 15 Minutes Without Jury Trial. Victims Swear They Know Nothing of the Robbery. Attorney General Says "We Want to Get the Lynchers." James Anderson, the unfortunate fatal victim of the brutal lynching at Moberly, Mo., November 18, came to his death at the hands of an assistant chief of police, according to testimony given during an investigation of the crime, at the penitentiary in Jefferson City last Saturday, November 26.

Three Convicted in 15 Minutes Without Jury. The witnesses were the three boys who were with Anderson at the time of the lynching and who merely escaped with their lives. These boys—Dalley Richardson, Sandford Taylor and George Adam—were afterward captured, taken to trial, and sentenced to the penitentiary in fifteen minutes—five minutes in each case. It is said that only the judge, prosecuting attorney and armed police officers were in court and the trial was without jury. Revolting Crime Follows. The boys were placed in jail and then followed one of the most revolting crimes in the history of the state. Richardson says there was no sign of the cherrif when the mob came to the jail to get them. Adams had on only his top shirt and Taylor was in his underwear. Ropes were tied around their necks in jail and they were led out to a place where a big bonfire was burning. After a discussion as to how they should be lynched they decided to kill them one at a time, and one of the men said, "We will get this big one, Anderson, first. Asst. Chief Murders Anderson.

According to Mrs. Ford, the boys justified that the stopped-off at Moberly and engaged lodging at a rooming house connected by Harry Casey, a Colored man, at 100 E. Rollin St. The place turned out to be a "speaker's joint, where liquor was on safe and frequented by questionable female characters.

DONATIONS TO THE PROVIDENT ASS'N ARE ENCOURAGING The Crisis League Committee, which is conducting the drive among Colored people for the Provident Association, is very much pleased with the splendid returns of people from all walks of life. The various teams are already making splendid returns daily at the campaign dinners held at the Y. M. C. A. for the workers. The drive this year is for $150,000, and the Colored people have been asked to contribute $5,000. During the past year the Provident Association spent over $20,000 in relief and social service among our people and will spend over $40,000 this year. Indications are that this will be a safe winter and that much relief and social service, will be needed among the unfamiliar classes, and the more favorable classes, and to share in the opportunity of helping them become self-self-esteem and independent. Your contribution may mean a half ton of coal, a basket of groceries, or a new pair of shoes to some needy Colored family as well as such direction and encouragement as will promote their general well being. DR. CHAS. STEWART TO SPEAK HERE DECEMBER 14-15 Dr. Charles Stewart of Chicago, the famous newspaper correspondent and the only Negro member of the Associated Press staff, will appear in a series of three addresses at the First Baptist Church, Cardinal and Bell Avenue, O. C. Maxwell, S. T. B. pastor, December 14 and 15, under the auspices of the Sunday School and Baptist Young People's Union. METROPOLITAN NOTES The Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church has scored another big victory under the matchless leadership of its Pastor, Rev B. G. Shaw, last Wednesday night, without calling his $20,000 to a close. He simply asked that $3,000 he laid on the table, and it was done. Thus the annual note was cancelled the next day and the church moves on, in a moat glorious style. A distinguished white lady, Mrs. James McLaughlin of Iowa City, town, who was present at a morning service with a group of other distinguished ladies of that city, accompanying Mr. G. H. Roose, who is a trustee of the Union Methodist Episcopal Church, presented the Pastor and Church with her own beautiful and large family Bible. “ u . : : : a) . - = > 5 gs > : 4 9 || a Zoe p : 4 P Peay), ? yy . \ | .

He found that this particular formula gave the best results to those of his patients who were suffering from some constitutional blood disease. In time this doctor made quite a reputation both for himself and the prescription which he used; today a large number of bottles are required by druggists to supply the demands of those in need of this meritorious preparation.

Despairing, helpless sufferers have secured benefit from this liquid prescription where all other advice and treatment had failed.

St. Louis' Leading Photo Play Theatre FREEMAN COMPANY PLEASING LARGE CROWS AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON George Freeman's Over-Sea Players giving the Booker Washington Theatre a merry round of clean whose entertainment this week. The program bristle with humorous complications, a peppery arrangement of tunes and laughs, slightly dances, and an unusual display of dances and pretty girls. Right from the cur- tature theater, the performers sing and dance their way to the hearts of their audience. This concert represents The Army and The Navy, with native costumes and geometry to match. There is a medley of choreums, artistic dancing and a drill feature, George Freeman, a versatile and clever comedian, soon arrives on the scene, and with a few revamped witticisms gets the house in dickish mood. The band and dance spectacle numbers follow, with the skit called "The Doped Wine." And then the feature piece, "The Scandalization of Parson Brown." is produced. This streamingly funny bit of non-issue strikes an accordant note in the crowd and a continual big laugh is the result. Freeman, in a grotesque makeup of a washer woman, is the leading tan dancer. -- The show closes in a merry dance for all, singing "Shame On Now" and "Stumping the limbs." The entire company is clever, the girls pretty and graceful, and the singing harmonious. "The Girl's Revenge." Next Week. The Freeman Company will present "The Girl's Revenge." an Indian drama of love, determination, hatred, spite and treachery, at the Booker Washington next week. There is just enough comedy in the production to give it "neep," and a rich display of harmonious nobody. Many critics say "The Girl's Revenge" is the best in this capable company's repertoire. Miss Marguerite Johnson, better known as Billy Johnson, on the vaudeville stage, will arrive in St. Louis about December 11 to fill an engagement as entertainer at the Manhattan Cafe. Nowstead and Finney. Miss Johnson will close in Louisville this week. William Farnum, the famous star of William Fox photoplay, will be seen at the Jest-A-Mere Theatre next Sunday and Monday, in his latest debut production. Wolves of the Night, said to be the most powerful dramatic picture in which this great screen star has been seen. The story is of a mining, engineer who, having sought in vain for copper ore in his land in the Northwest, has converted it into a sheep ranch. Adjoining is a mining plant in full operation, owned by three men who covet his property. The hero, Bruce Andrews, portrayed by Mr. Farnum, is sent to Chile to investigate some mines. While there he is imprisoned in a mine through an explosion, and news is conveyed to his wife that he has been killed. He escapes after days, but is crazed by his sufferings. The denouncement of the story, according to report, is one of the most dramatic ever seen on the screen. "THE OUTCASTS OF POKER FLAT." AF THE STAR. Harry Carey, in "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," will be seen at the Star Theatre Sunday. John Oakhurst, an honest gambler, and philosopher, adopts a naholeless child, later rescues a young lady from a cruel fate; loves her and is loved by her, but wants his adopted boy to marry the girl, accomplishes this purpose, then becomes an outcast so that stigma of shame attached to his calling—that of gambler—will not annoy the newly-weds; with other outcasts is caught in terrific snow-storm; in order that the rest of outcasts and the young married couple: who have searched for and found him in a rude cabin seeking shelter, might live, he makes a supreme sacrifice and is found, by a searching party, buried beneath the snow. "THE MIRACLE MAN" AT THE PENDLETON SUN., MON., TUES Hailed by critics as one of the greatest motion pictures ever produced, the Paranoid Man' Artwork 'Feature,' "The Miracle Man," will be displayed at the Pendleton Theatre Sunday' Monday and Tuesday. It is the screen version of George M. Cohan's play that scored so emphatically on Broadway some months ago' and which in turn was based on Frank I. Packard's famous novel. No picture in recent months has had so much praise envisaged upon it for the dramatic quality of its story, its keen characterization, and beautiful photography. The story of "The Miracle Man" centers around an old patriarch of the hills who has gained a reputation for his power to heal the sick and crippled. To him come a band of unscrupulous crooks for the shuns of New York—Tom Burke, their leader; Bosn, The Frog, and the Dope—who have conceived the scheme of capitalizing the healer's gift and taking the money for themselves. What follows is one of the most abstraction scenes ever unfolded on the screen. In the hands of such talented players as Thomas Meighan, Elinor Fair, Betty Compain, Lon Chaney, and W. Lannan Buit, the development of the chief characters under the influence of the heat and blight patrishic is portaged with admirable skill. MARK PICKFORD IN "THE HOODLUN" AT THE CRITERION "The Hoodlum," declared by critics to be the greatest character success in Mary Pickford's screen history will be seen at the Criterion Theatre this Sunday, December 7. "The Hoodlum" is essentially a comedy romance picturing the distress of the fashionable Amy Burke, who decides to reside in the tenements in order to be with her father, whose work depends upon a successful finish on sociology. Mary Pickford, great friend of Diah Picturing In detail The Present Battles Of CAPITAL VS LABOR Have You The Right To Happiness?

It is a fact, however, that the artist does steal Amy's heart. How Amy adjusts family matters by most landing herself in jail makes a fast moving comical story. "The Last of the Duanes" On this Saturday, the Criterion will show, William Farum in "The Last of the Duanes," a picturization of the novel of the same name by Zane Grey. one of the many thrilling incidents in this vivid chapter of Texas life in frontier days, is Sir Farum's escape from a pose when, finding himself trapped at the top of an 56-foot water-jettle, he ties a lariat to the stump of a tree and slides into the whirlpool below at the risk of life and limb. 'THE RIGHT TO HAPPINE$" AT THE COMET. "The Right to Happiness," featuring Dorothy Phillips, will be the big feature picture at the Comet Theater next Thursday and Friday, December 11-12.

The American twin marries her father's factory foreman. KEYSTONE. JAZZERS ENTERTAIN. KEYSTONE. EAST. The Keystone Jazzers, under the direction of Messrs.

Now comes the Savannah, Ga., Hawkeye, newspaper published by a white man of that city, what the "cut" of a white man in the South is, in order that he may be recognized by his fellow associates to be a gentleman. To be a gentleman, in which days, according to the Hawkeye, a white man must have his Negro wife. What the Hawkeye says about the past is also true of the present. The present generation is maintaining the traditions of the past. The following editorial is another frank admission of the conditions that may be found in any of the Southern states, and is the best possible evidence of the hypocrisy of the white South on Racial intermingling. The Savannah, Ga., Hawkeye, in printing the story of the death of a wealthy, and influential citizen, but brings to light one of the thousands of similar cases. It says: "Dying as he had lived, with the Colored woman next to his heart, Mr. F. H. Chaplin, the wealthy Savannahian, left his entire estate to Bessie Lee; the Negro woman that had lived with him as his wife for thirty-seven years—A son thirty-five years old, with a bunch of children, also survive Chaplin. His children pass as Colored in the community. Bessie Lee, his Colored wife—as she was—is made the administratrix without bond, and she will take charge of his estate and proceed to enjoy the fruits of her life with the man who couldn't be her legal husband because she was a Colored Woman and he a white man. That hundreds of other cases exist here is the belief of the old-timers, who know what the habits of certain rich men are: In the old days to have a Negro wife was considered the first cut of a gentleman." The Negro voters of St. Louis are awakening and are demanding a place in the "Political Sun-ting." The fight for right engenders opposition.

KANGA$ CITY, Mo., Nov. 5.—The Negro Investor's Guide published here is opened a department containing the names and addresses and capital per value of stock of all Negro business men. The object is to create a demand for Negro security. The Periscope Public Opinion Culled By Associated Negro Press The Negroes' state fair brought many thousands of people to Columbia, and they had plenty of money to spend in Columbia stores./ The extension of more assistance by business men of Columbia to this undertaking of Colored people is worth considering. As reported in our New Orleans correspondence, 25 Negro farmers have united and purchased for $225,000 a 3000 acre cotton plantation in Mississippi, and yet some people think the Negro is not prospering in the South. That is the one place in America where he is prospering. LABOR GREATEST ASSET (Baltimore, Md., Manuf. Record Several years ago the Manufacturers Record published the views of a large number of contractors on public work, railroad construction and kindred activities as to the relative value in their opinion of the Negro laborers of the South as compared with the lower classes of foreign labor largely engaged in similar work in other parts of the country. With scarcely an exception, the many contractors who replied to our inquiry, were enthusiastic in their commendation of the Negro labor for this class of work over foreign labor. They stressed the value to the South in having such an abundant supply of labor which could do better work and do it with less friction and fewer strikes than the foreigners so largely employed in the North and West. They regarded the Negro labor of the South as a definite asset of great value to this section in contrast with foreign labor in other parts of the country, as a rather dangerous liability to those sections. Writing from Washington under date of September 30, the correspondent of the London Times, considers the relation between whites and blacks in the United States. His article reads: Another race riot, this time in Omaha accentuates the fact that the United States is still far, from finding a solution of what is when all is said and done the most difficult, though not immediately the most important of her social problems. A good deal has been said in previous articles of the movement for the proper Americanization of citizens of allen blood. Things like the steel strike, which would not have come about had it not been for the impfammability of the foreign laborers in the mills, show that the movement is a much needed one. For the Negro question there is no such ultimate cure as yet visible. The descendants of the slaves of Colonial days and of the first era of independence, are already as much Americanized as they can be. One of the lessons of the present situation is that the further upwards they move in the social scheme the greater their discontent and the greater the prejudice against them of the whites with whom they complete. It is the custom of the Negro to live in well-defined quarters of the cities. in well-defined quarters of the cities. Evan in Washington, one finds whole streets given up to Colored people, tucked away in the midst of the best residential quarter. As the Negro crowds North the old Colored district becomes unable to hold him; he slops out in adjoining streets; His presence in them is resented, and there is bad blood. This bad blood is often aggravated by the white workman's jealousy of his new competitor. A crime against a white-woman or something of that sort and the fat is in the fire. The way has also hardened the feelings of the Negro against the white. He was sent in large numbers to France. He found in France no particular color line drawn against him. It was received as an ally and not as an inferior. It irks him to return to the inequalities of the home he went to fight for, to the "Jim Crow" laws of the Southern States that provide for him separate railway carriages and to the various schemes, like the "Grandfather Clause," whereby some states confine the suffrage to those whose grandparents were free in order to deprive him of the vote that was constitutionally given him after the Civil war It irks him the more in as much as he is told by his organs in the press that the American High Command tried to get the French to treat him as he is treated at home. Proof of his new found sense of discipline, he is not deaf to propaganda against allowing himself to be exploited by the white rac in times of crises and then, when the crisis is over, to put back into a position of recognized inferiority. For many years past there have been two theories about the education of the American Negro. One idea has been to concentrate upon technical education; to bring him up to manual trades, and to encourage him to become a small farmer. The other idea has been to treat him as a white man, to give him a higher education. The latter policy has had considerable success. There have been Negroes high in the Federal service. There are good Colored doctors and lawyers; and there are many thousands of Negroes, probably rich enough to own their own motors and that sort of thing. In New York for instance, there is a most prosperous Colored community, living together in good streets and good houses, with its own theatres and all the other trappings of civilization. Hi: theroy is a reverse side to the shield. The intellectual Negro seems to take parter kindly to Socialism and organized agitation. Thus one finds, besides the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People which has many white members, a number of purely Colored organizations like the League for Democracy, an organization of colored soldiers afaine with grievances against white officers they had in France, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, whose program is to awaken class consciousness among the Negroes here and in Africa, and to knit together all the Colored races of the world, the National Association for the Organization of Labor Unions Among Negroes, the Hamitic League of the World, the League of the Darker People of the World, and so on. Nearly all such associations are extreme and run by young Colored, socialists, often aided and abetted by professional white extremists of the same type that causes so much trouble among the alien proletariat. Some of them publish inflammatory organs like the Messenger of New York the Crisis of the same city or the Boston Guardian, whose editor, W. M. Trestler, a Harvard graduate, after a fruitless visit to the peace conference, lately told the senate committee on foreign relations to look out for a race uprising if the whites did not mend their ways. Even the industrial Workers of the World have been getting recruits among the Negroes in the South, a fact which made the American Federation of Labor decide this year to countenance Colored unions much to the disgust of the Southerners. To this the white reply, as has been seen from the news of recent months, has too often been mob force. "Moh protection is the only protection of the white man's home," cried the other day the paper of a former senator of the United States, published in Mississippi in the course of an article calling on the "best and bravest." in the state to organize "since there is no doubt that hell will be to pay in this country in the near future." But, enough has been, said to show how discontent, merging often into impertinence and sometimes criminal misbehavior on the one side, and sometimes rough intolerance on the other, are exacerbating already difficult. The process is deplored by the vast majority of sober whites and by many good thoughtful Negroes. It is quite probable that the better sense of the nation will prevent its going so far as some profess to fear; but for the moment it is not the least troublesome feature of a general situation teeming with other problems of race amalgamation. Nor is it one the existence of which we can afford to overlook. There can be little doubt that the extremists would like to extend their propaganda to our possessions. Several of the most active agitators in New York and elsewhere are, indeed, reported to be West Indians. (Continued on Page 10.) M. Brookfield WHEN IN ST. LOUIS Stop at the Monarch Shaving.

CITY) One of the first political results of the hegira of Southern Negroes to this city which has been going on for a decade, is seen in the election on Tuesday of two Colored Americans to represent Harlem districts in the Board of Alderman. This is the first time that the city has sent Colored men to the municipal council. The district in Harlem extending from about 130th street to 137th street of which Lenox Avenue is the boulevard, is densely populated by Negroes. It is an apartment house and brownstone district, and rents are high. In nominating the Negroes the Republican leaders were controlled by their interest in the Negro vote, and as this will be a containing motive, with them, it is probable that more nominations of the same kind will be made in the early future. To which we add, there is power in politics and what we need is power and yet, more power. "CARRY ON! CARRY ON!" You remember the story of the haunted house, the man who tried to tarry there, the succession of cats, each one larger than the other, the last one always saying: "Let's go get him," and the others replying, "We can't do no thin" 'till Martin comes." The nerve of that lonely brother failed, and he finally, running out exclaimed, "When Martin comes, tell him I've done been here and gone." The times are changed! We, as a group of American citizens, take the place of the "lonely brother"; the scheming, designing, prejudiced, insistent, inconsistent, unreasonable, steadily growing smaller group of whites represent, the various sizes of cats that come into the pathway of our liberty and progress. But we are sitting up with them and waiting for "Martin." Sizes and numbers do not frighten us any more. We are going to stick and Carry On. Carry On! We are going to carry on our fight for equal justice and opportunity, and we shall be guided only by the eternal principles of life. We know what they are, and we propose to Carry On, Carry On! We will not be sidetracked, "banfoozled" or frightened. Today we are doing the seemingly impossible things. We are going forward in every avenue of American progress, economic, political and social—and fighting the demon Prejudice every inch of the way. We are what we are, because we have been welged in the balance and not found wanting. If we have made progress, and we have, it has been by the stern edicts of merit and necessity—there is no sentiment in the transactions. All these things wherever we are, in whatever line of endeavor, we must realize in the concrete, and govern ourselves accordingly. We must take, heart and know that we are farther along in life's pathway than yesterday, and we must carry on, carry on without ceasing. SOLD, A MAN (New York, N.Y.) The following is an exact copy of a document in the official records of the town of Brookhaven and throws light on slavery on Long Island in Colonial days: "Robert Hudson, of Ry. sold a negro named Anthony, that was John Ogdens of Ry. to Richard Floyd of Brookhaven, to be delivered in this town of Brookhaven, to the above said Floyd, sound, wend, and lime to the apreheachon of two indifferent men, and in consideration of the same, the salde Richard floyd doth ingage to pay forty eight pounds sterling to Mr. Alexander Brian, of milford, in pay that he shall except of twenty pounds next March mning, and the other twenty eight pounds the 29 day of September next, and also to pay ten shillens here in this towne, and to let his horse go to Southould gratis, it is to be understood the pay in wheat or pork and beaf, at marchant's price, and to the pforment, of the same we do hereun to interchingable sett our hinds, 9 december, 1672. Richard R. Floyd, 9th day of March, 1674—Richard Sackett, to John Hurd, of Strat- ford. Richard R. Floyd. Witness. John Tooker Sallie Irigansmaid." Setauket in Colonial days was the capital of the town of Brokhaven, and there lived Colonel William Smith, the patentee, and chief justice of the province of New York. The Richard Floyd mentioned as the purchaser of the slave was undoubtedly an ancestor of William Floyd, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, for he came from Long island, and it took men of means to buy slaves in those days.
