VOL. VIII. NO. 34 PREJUDICE A MYSTERY TO ME, SAYS ROSENWALD Chicago Philanthropist Tells Why He Has Already Given A Million Dollars To Race. 1000 NEGRO RURAL SCHOOLS BY JAN. 1 Y. M. C. A. Buildings Have Cost Him $355,000. Says Offer Of $25,000. A Piece For Colored Branches Will Stand. By Associated Negro Press. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 10.—"I have made gifts for Negro institutions for the sole purpose of promoting better American citizenship." In that way does Julius Rosenwald, millionaire merchant and philanthropist, of Chicago, explain his gifts amounting to nearly $1,000,000 to date, in behalf of the Negro race. Mr. Rosenwald was in the city to help along the Jewish War Relief Campaign. Not content with relief work among the Jewish race and his support of numerous educational institutions in Chicago and other cities, Mr. Rosenwald for years has been deeply interested in the welfare of the Negro people. By the end of this year gifts by him will have made possible the establishment of 1,000 Negro rural schools, known as Rosenwald Schools, in the South. Fourteen Y. M. C. A. Negro branches in as many cities have been established, with $25,000 each as an initial fund contributed by Mr. Rosenwald. He said that his offer of $25,000 apiece to cities desiring to establish a Negro branch of the Y. M. C. A. will stand for many years. Seated in the office of Mr. Glimbel, the Chicagoan explained his "creed" of giving. "Helping the Negro people is a much neglected work," he said. "I became interested in them several years ago, when I realized that philanthropical work among them offered many opportunities. I felt that we as Americans should help these people, especially in the south, where their chances for educational advancement are slim. "Helping these people I feel is helping to promote good citizenship. If we don't try to give the Negroes opportunities for good citizenship, we'll be compelled to live with 10,000,000 bad citizens. If we promote better citizenship among the Negroes, not only are our Negroes benefited, but our entire citizenship is improved. For, after all, Negroes are the same human beings with same souls and aspirations as the white people, and why some persons should be prejudiced is a deep mystery to me." Mr. Rosenwald is a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, which he has helped with several gifts. In eleven states in the South 700 schools have been established, or are nearing completion. Mr. Rosenwald's contributions to these schools this far have amounted to $450,000 and have made possible the raising of $1,250,000 for the remaining expenditures which have been raised by whites and Negroes. The Y. M. C. A. buildings have cost him about $355,000. The total expenditures, for these buildings' amount to $2,000,000,000. These, Y. M. C. A.'s are scattered over the North and South. Mr. Rosenwald's work of relief and philanthropy is particularly interesting, in this city, as he has announced that in the future he is to become a "citizen of Philadelphia by proxy." He plans a huge business to be established here, a branch of Sears, Roebuck & Co., which will be operated by his son. NEWSPAPER MAN RESIGNS TO ENTER AUTO BUSINESS. Announcement was made in last Sunday's Globe-Democrat, that John T. Rogers, former newspaperman and reporter for the Post-Dispatch, has joined the firm of Meisner-Skelton Motor Car Co., 3150 Locust, as Vice-President and General Manager. Mr. Rogers has a host of friends among the Colored people of this city which he won by his fairness in reporting news that affected the Negroes. He showed unusual interest in the returned soldiers and was always responsive to that which would be of interest to the race. It is expected that Mr. Rogers will carry the same spirit of fairness into his new field and thus enhance his services with the Meisner-Skelton Motor Car Co. and the best wishes of those, he so unselfishly served in his former field. By Association, Negro Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ohio. Dec. 10.—At the formal opening the Union Savings and Iban Association, which was established in Springfield Emaacipation Day by the young Colored business men of the city, souvivres in the form of carnations, were given as greetings from the officers and directors of the Association to the hundreds of persons who visited the bank Saturday. The new quarters are located in South Market apenis, between Fountain avenue and Center street. The St. Louis Argus SPECIAL GRAND JURY TO TAKE UP MACON LYNCHING MACON, MO., December 8.—A special grand jury was sworn in and instructed by Judge Drain this afternoon to investigate the raid on the Macon jail by a mob from Randolph county a few weeks ago, when four Negro prisoners were taken from the jail and one lynched. Judge Drain was particularly vigorous in urging upon the jury to do everything in its power to ascertain the men composing the mob and to indict them. The story of the inhuman treatment of four young Colored boys, at the hands of Moberly rioters was published in last week's issue of The Argus. At an investigation held, by the Attorney General, in the state penitentiary November 29, three of the victims, who had been "railroaded" to long terms in prison in record breaking time, testified to the terrible crime. They state that the fourth was brutally murdered by a police officer and that they can identify the other leaders. The St. Louis branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has appealed to Governor Gardner to push the investigation and punish the lynchers. ANOTHER GEORGIA LYNCHING. NEW YORK. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes public a telegram to Governor Hugh M. Dorssey of Georgia, calling the governor's attention to the lynching of a Negro-near Macon, Ga., on Sunday, night and asking for an investigation of the lynching and the punishment of the lynchers. The telegram, given below, calls attention to the fact that this makes the seventy-fourth lynching in the United Staes since January 1st and the twentieth inia. The telegram reads: Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga. The seventy-fourth lynching in America since January 1st and the twentieth in Georgia, occurred near Macon, Georgia, according to press dispatches, on Sunday night when a Negro was put to death for wounding a farmer who will recover. As a signer of the Address to the Nation appealing to loyal Americans to stamp out mob violence and disregard of all law and order and as one who has shown himself to be against, lynchings, may we not appeal to you to use your official and personal powers to investigate this lynching and show lynchers that they cannot murder American citizens with impunity. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON Field Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. THIRTEEN POLICEMEN ACCUSED OF MURDER Were Members of Louisiana Posee Who Killed Three White Men for Protecting Negro Labor Leader. Forced to Give Ball of $40,000 Each. FRANKLINTON, La., December 7. Thirteen policemen, who were members of the posse which killed four labor leaders in Bogalusa on November 22 in a light over the attempted arrest of a Negro labor leader, were arrested today on the charge of murder, brought here on a special train, placed in jail an hour and a half and released on a back of $40,000 each. Allidavits charging the man with murder were sworn out by Jim Williams, brother of Lum Williams, one of the labor leaders killed. Among those charged was Jules Le Blanc, former United States army captain, who, while serving with the others as special deputy, was wounded in the arm during the battle. Each man was charged with killing the four labor leaders. More than a hundred citizens of Bogalusa accompanied the prisoners on the special train, several rode through the country in automobiles and many parish farmers came here to offer their names on the necessary bond. One hundred and thirty-three men signed ball, which totaled $520,000. CHURCHES ASK CLEMENY FOR - ELAINE MEN UNDER SENTENCE By Annette von Negro Press. BOSTON, Dec. 19.—Telegrams were sent to President Wilson, Attorney General Flames, and Governor Brugh of Arkansas from a union Thanksgiving service of churches requesting clemency for "the eleven members of our race sentenced to death for the Elaine riots." The President was asked to request reprieves of Governor Brough "pending impartial" investigation." and the Attorney General was urged to work for the reprieve "to afford time to inquire into the claim that the convicted men were defending property and legal rights." COLONEL SIMMONS VISITS ST. LOUIS Col.

RESOLUTION OF AMER.LEGION IS CHALLENGED RESOLUTION OF AMER.LEGION IS CHALLENGED NEW YORK—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its chairman, Mary White Orviston, has issued a statement challenging a resolution of the American Legion of South Carolina, which stated that the Association's activities would tend to cause friction between the races. The statement, which asserts that colored soldiers from South Carolina outnumbered white and that the percentage of illiteracy among the colored troops was less than among the white, is as follows: I am at a loss to understand your position regarding the work of a body that lays special stress upon securing due process of law rather than mob violence for Negroes, whether they live in the North or the South. Our branches, in whatever states they may operate, voice the sentiment of the educated, law-abiding Negroes, who have so recently helped America to achieve victory in the great war. We note, however, that your resolution condemning our activities is from the American Legion of South Carolina, representing the white soldier who fought in the recent great war. We feel that we are right in considering, also the opinion of the Colored soldiers of South Carolina, who numbered the white, particularly in view of the fact that among the colored there was less illiteracy than among their white comrades at arms. Very truly yours. (Signed) Mary White Ovington, Chairman. SENATOR CHARGES SOUTH SUPPRESSSES VOTES OF NEGROES Savs "Inquiry" Into Senator Newbery's Title Will Not Be Permitted To Go Forward Alone. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 2.—Congressional investigation of alleged disfranchisement of Negroes in Southern States with a view to reducing congressional representations of those states was proposed in a resolution introduced by Séhator Moses (Rep.) of New Hampshire and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The investigating committee would be appointed jointly by the Senate and House and would be required to report by July 1. Moses indicated in a statement on his resolution, that it was prompted by the Michigan election cases. "The corruption of the Michigan electorate—if any occurred—is most distressing," he said. "But it is no more distressing than suppression of the electorate in the Southern States which is so notorious as to require no evidence to be adducted. The inquiry into Senator Newberry's title to his seat will not be permitted to go forward alone." LADIES' AUXILIARY SOCIAL The Ladies' Auxiliary of the B. O. P.

Ranking Colored Officer In U. S. Army Will Be Military Attache. Best Friends Believe He Should Have Been Appointed Brigadier General Little West African Republic Gets $5,000,000 Credit From This Country. Best Jobs Go To Whites. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16. Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., retired has been appointed as military attache for the Republic of Liberia, upon the request of that government. Col Young was formerly in Liberia, where he made an enviable record in behalf of military training. During the World War he was stationed at Camp Gratt, near Rockford, IL, where he played an important part in training. There are many of his best friends who believe he should be promoted to Brigadier General. Other Positions Given Whites Whether or not the present national administration will continue its policy of appointing only white men to look after its affairs in Liberia under the customary agreement is a question that is uppermost in the minds of many thoughtful Colored persons of this country. A $5,000,000 credit with this country has been recently arranged for Liberia. It will have to be ratified by the Liberian Legislature and those in touch with affairs in the Little West African Republic, say it will not renounce one lota of its sovereignty in order to make the money available. De Ernest Lyon, the Liberian Consul General to this country, has just signed commissions for four white Americans, who will go to Liberia at annual salaries of $3,000 each, the same being paid by the Liberian Government. The men are to be given two months' vacation a year with pay, and the Liberians are to pay their medical bills. They were appointed by President Wilson, but the Liberian Legislature will have to ratify the selections. Harry A. Muller and A. G. Ellis received commissions as receivers of revenue. James A. Wanzar and Albert W. Longaker were appointed district commissioners. F. W. Worley, general receiver of customs and three other whites now hold lucrative positions in Liberla. There are a number of well-equipped Colored men in this country who could acceptably fill these positions is the general belief. COMMITTEEMAN WEIL AND H. G. PHILLIPS GO TO WASHINGTON D. C Among the St. Louis Boosters who attended the session of the Republican National Committee which met in Washington during the past week were Col. J. M. Well, state committeeman, and Attorney Homer G. Phillips. Notwithstanding the fact that they were not with the regular delegation which left Saturday, the Citizens Conference Committee sent them to show the interest the Negroes of St. Louis have in the coming of the National Convention. The Citizens Conference Committee which is composed of Negro voters of St. Louis is determined to see to it that the Negroes have a representation in the party conventions unless they are held behind "locked doors." CHICAGO BOMB THROWERS AGAIN ON THE RAMPAGE CHICAGO, IL. Dec 10 — The Hyde Park Property Owners' Association and its unholy alliance to sustain bain in Chicago endeavoring to frighten the people. The last move is that of endearing to have Win B Austin, lawyer, banker, former president of the Hamilton Club and owner of property on Grand Bldd, occupied by our group expelled from the Country Club. Mr. Austin says that he will fight the case and that if he is expelled it will be necessary to expel a number of other prominent members of the organization. A bomb was recently placed under the front steps of Jesse Binga, banker and real estate man. 5922 South Park avenue, but it failed to explode properly. Passersby heard the bomb thrown in the yard of the premises, and seeing smoke issuing from underneath the steps, they called the fire department. It is known that a bomb is an expression of racial feeling and a form of an attempted expression of terror to frighten residents from the Hyde Park and Kenwood sections. It is believed, however, that their efforts will be in vain. TUSKEGEE INST. GETS $50,000 BEQUEST TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Dec. 10. Dr. Deph R. Moto received today notices that the will of the late Charles Church Drew of Providence, R. I., contained a bequest for Tukeegee Institute which would approximate 150,000. This brings the total amount of bequests which have been received by Tukeegee Institute within the past twelve months to more than a million dollars. It is also interesting to note, in this connection, that the amount of regular contributions to the Institute are considerably, in excess of contributions up to this time of any previous year. With the largest enrollment in the school's history, the outlook along all lines is most promising. Dr. Noton declares.

NEGROES OPPOSED TO BOLSHEVISM lity Associated Negro Press JACKSON, Miss, Dec 10—(Special) —Negro leaders calling themselves the representatives of 1,000,000 Negroes in Mississippi, in a conference in Jackson, denied that members of their race are more susceptible than their white friends to Bolshevik propaganda. The men passed resolutions affirming their allegiance to the United States and to the "Stars and Stripes," deployed, fawlessness and rape, denounced Bolshevism and all forms of radicalism, and called upon Negroes generally to observe the law to the letter. Perry W. Howard, attorney, who has been a leader in war work, said the unswerving loyalty of the Colored race in the past is proof enough of their attitude against revolutionary doctrines, and he said he felt as certain as could be that radicalism would not take root among the Negroes. "What we want," he continued, "is protection against mob rule. We want to live in peace and be satisfied, that when we be down at night our families will not be disturbed."

Meadows one of the best known ministers in the state, died at his home here today. He had been in the ministerial work for forty-five years and spent the last fifteen years of his life as state missionary of the Ohio Baptist Convention. His health became impaired three years ago, due to his strenuous work in behalf of struggling churches, and he never recovered. He was 66 years old, was greatly beloved throughout the state.

The committee of 45, a gathering of men from all over the country, representing different ideas and organizations, but particularly opposed to the present Republican and Democratic parties, had a difficult time getting a permit to meet in St. Louis, but finally succeeded. The Hotel Statter was originally secured, then refused them, and at last the permit was given. The opposition started from the headquarters of the American Legion of Missouri at Kansas City. A request was made on the mayor and police to prevent the meeting on the supposition the promoters were disloyalists. Appeals to Colored Ex-Soldiers Attorney Robert L. Owens, commander of the Tom Powell Post No. 74 (Colored) was appealed to. He took the matter before his Post and the members refused to act until they were better informed on the objects of the organization. This decision was also reached by the executive committee of the combined St. Louis branches, although the action was misrepresented in a St. Louis daily paper. The American Legion, according to its constitution, cannot as an organization take any stand in politics. Opposed to Lynching. So far as has been learned, nothing of a disloyal nature has trumped. The Committee sent out questionnaires to 10,000 persons before the meeting and two of the questions asked were: a. "Do you favor a National law against lynching." b. "Do you favor strict enforcement of the Constitution of the United States for protection of the Negro?" It is stated that 98% per cent of the replies were in the affirmative and only 12% per cent against. Among the organizations represented is the World's Peace Association, which encloses in its platform the following; "Equal Education, Industrial and Political Opportunities for the Colored People." Hotel Attempts to Bar Colored Two St. Louis Colored men, Rev. J. Custon and Robert N. Gawens, attended the sessions, and all attempt was made to force them to use the service elevator by the hotel praetices Wednesday morning, but they won out with the management. Race Resolutions Introduced. The following resolutions, against "Jim Crow" laws, lynchings and mob rule, signed by Custon and Gawens, was introduced by the former during Wednesday's sessions. St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 10, 1919. To the Platform Committee, "Committee of '19' Gentlemen. As representatives of thirty million black Americans, having shared with them the injustices of the new governmental conditions, and having the hope that the platform to be adopted by the Committee of '19' will mean the alleviation of some of these conditions we present herewith what we believe to be the cardinal desires of our people. "Those we hope you will invest in your plan and make operations." The Negro 1. We believe that the Constitution should be strictly enforced in regard to the Negro and that all State laws not in accord with the said Constitution, affecting his status, especially his enfranchisement, should be made imperative at once. 2. We declare for the orderly process of law in determining the guilt of all persons, irrespective of color, accused of violations of the law. We therefore condemn most emphatically mob-sole and lynch law and declare for federal intervention and federal legislation to deal with this relic of burialism. Public Ownership Amendment. 1. All public utilities listed above shall be sacredly safeguarded to the interest and use of all Americans, and firm-crow signs and regulations affecting any group of American citizens, depriving them of their Constitutional right, we rigidly impose.

MUST NOT MOLEST NEGRO CHAUFFEURS By Associated Negro Press MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 29—Interference with Negro chauffeurs or any other law-abiding persons coming into Miami was unanimously undermined by the Chamber of Commerce membership meeting. Upon motion it was resolved that resolution shall be drafted and submitted to the chamber of bommerce directors for approval, calling upon the city and county constabulary to so the limit in prosecuting any person who intimidate or interfere with any chauffeurs or visitors or any other persons coming to Miami with lawful intent and obeying the laws of the city. Stations were mainly to meet the meeting that in a number of instances, two courts, tourists have arrived in Miami in large numbers to learn about the places and that intimidation has been used both to scare the white tourists and the drivers. These tourists have scared that they came through with the best intentions, and found no objection to their servants driving their cars past they reached Miami.

Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in his address before the Negro Organization which held a four-day joint meeting in Lynchburg, Dr. Gregg said: "The riots, lynchings, and kindred outrages, which have followed one another with quickening rapidity during the past few months at Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Elaine, and elsewhere, remind us and prove that this epidemic of ferocity is nation-wide, afflicting the North as well as the South. The lynching of a white man in Centralia, Washington, recently shows that no race is safe." In discussing preventive measures Dr. Gregg added: "This is a time when the white men, of the South and of the North, should leave no one's doubt where they stand whether for law and order, for decency and justice and humanity, or against these fundamentals of civilization. The kind of people who make up a mob are not such as should intimidate any American who has red blood in his veins and courage in his soul. We applaud the occasional sheriff who detains the members of the mob; are we sure that we should be equally brave?" "On the other hand, let me say, just as frankly and embitterly, that the colored people of this country owe it to themselves and to their friends to make it indisputably plain—as they usually do—that they are not countening, or excusing any deeds of wanton violence or criminal reprisal by members of their own race. Self defense is one thing; murder is another. The lawless man, whether white or black, is the enemy of society. He must be restrained and sternly punished for the sake of the whole community." "If the cure of such evils - lynching it particular - can be accomplished through local agencies, by all means let it be done so."

The Negro Organization Society, of which Allen Washington, Hampton's commandant, of cadets, is president, and John M. Grady, president of Petersburg Normal School, is executive secretary, was heartily endorsed by Dr. Gregg, who said: "The only sure preventive and cure of the viciousness, injustice, and harborage which lynching reveals is thru such persistent, thorough-going education of both races as this Society is carrying on. Better homes, farms, schools and churches, better health, better character—these only will make and keep Virginia what Virginia ought to be." NEW HOTEL IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C.

Help them get situated rigid and they'll work it out by themselves." This is the advice of the only Negro mayor among the municipalities of Cobbs County, Thomas J. Kellar, mayor of the village of Robbins, with a population close to 14,000. Ninety-six percent of the population is Colored. They have elections, taxes, town hall, schools, special assessments and all the white man's civil associations. The other boundaries of the village of Robbins are the Rock Island railroad and Sacramento avenue on the west, 153th street on the north, 143rd street on the south. Nerby is the village of Poen, with 90 per cent of its population Polish. "Our people in Robbins are people who that get tired of the white rights and the crowded city," said Mayor, Kellar. "They came out here to raise chickens, make gardens and be a little more free. There was quite an influx of younger people in the last few months, enough so that we organized Company L of the Chicago Guardes. I've been here eight years. I used to be able to sit down and mama everybody in the village, but now there's a lot of people I don't know at all." "How many arrests for gambling last year?" was asked. "Nobody ever was arrested in Robbins for gambling. They are not that kind/heep." "And the churches?" "We have the Mythologist and Baptist, several cutts of Holy Rollers and the Church of God, and others, that meet in store rooms and cottages. Ask me about schools, that is our worst feature. We have only one school in the village. It has half-day sessions for each child. The directors are figuring on a portable school soon. "The village was incorporated in 1917. It has 400 men and women voters. It covers about two square miles. We need a moving picture theatre and other attractions for the young people. Our women's club's coming well and is affiliated with the Chicago Federation of Woman's Clubs. "There should be less charity and more responsibility for the Colored man. He should be made to do his part. Let him get to the land, let him have the transportation and housing and he is going where his own are." "It would surprise you to see how they lift up their heads when they are taking part in their government in their own town. We don't discriminate, you understand. Anybody can come in. We are learning what it is to have community responsibility. We need new drainage. But some of our citizens don't want to undertake the cost. Eventually, they will come to it." Charles C. Banks, Colored laborer, is village clerk. Trustees are: R. Flowers, electrical worker; R. H. Bryant, laborer; George Winburn, grocer; Jerry Taylor, janitor; Leroy P. Thomas, real estate dealer; Mayor Kellar is a clerk for the board of assessors at the county building. The village was built on subdivisions laid out by Eugene S. Robbins, a white man, who has a large tract in this district. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1919.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abused. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State-shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. WILL GOVERNOR GARDNER ACT? Now that it has been disclosed that a police officer led the mob that lynched a Negro near Moberly recently, the crime becomes more revolting, because it is shown that it was a police officer who actually did the shooting. The common stereotyped statement camouflaged with acquiescings that "a thorough investigation will be made to identify the participants," will not suffice in this case. - The unanimous verdict of all fair-minded people on the question of lynching is that "the officers failed to do their duty." The people are getting tired of this "weak-kneed" policy that is destroying the Nation, being abused by men in authority, and are now rallying for men who want for law and order (Gov. Coolridge, of Massachusetts, is a striking example). Knowing the conditions as they usually exist in communities, that is, how hard it is to get the local authorities to do their duty in such cases, Governor Gardner should instruct the Attorney General to use all the power of the State to bring to justice the perpetrators of this atrocious deed. This is a mighty challenge to the Governor of Missouri to show just where he stands, whether he is for law and order or for the Reds. The only difference between our government and that of Russia is respect for law and order. Governor, for which do you stand? Let us cite an instance where law and order have spoken against the mob. Down in Louisiana thirteen policemen have been arrested and are held under $40,000 bond each, for taking part in a mob which killed four white men who were protecting a Negro. The enormous amount of $520,000, nearly a half-million dollars, is required by the State as a guarantee that these offenders will be brought to trial. Of course, the victims were white and they were members of organized labor. This, no doubt, has played an important part in securing these arrests, but in the Missouri case the law should be respected as well as in Louisiana. Let every Negro and all those who believe in law and order, write the Governor and urge him to do his duty. Mohs are made up of cowards, yet they are unusually brazen if allowed to rage unchecked. An effective weapon against them is the stern arm of the law. Following this meeting, an appeal has been sent to Hon. Seiden P. Spencer, United States Senator from Missouri, to use his influence in behalf of the Jews that are being massacred by the Turks in a foreign land. That this protest will have its effects, there's no doubt in my mind. our peace in times like these. The most glitimistic among us will admit that we get nothing by holding our peace. The day is passed when we can stand idly by and give the other fellow take and enjoy the things which rightfully constitutionally belong to us, without a protest. Let us get together in large numbers over this land and organize our forces (the more the better), looking forward to use every peaceful means at our command as a solemn protest against the wrongs perpetrated upon us as the weaker group of American citizens.

As man began to live, man also began to die, and notwithstanding the fact that death was instituted with the birth of man, yet, the call of the grim hand of death always brings sorrow and grief, to the living. This happening /is one of the instances that God has encouched in His great plan; and this father, this husband, this big hearted Christian man has gone the ways of millions and which way all who now live must go. We lament with the family the violent and sudden manner in which Brother Chambers met his death, yet it is a reminder to always be ready for we know not when death comes. We believe this man lived a consistent Christian life and, was ready at a moment's call, which consoles us in the bellf that our loss was heaven's gain. To the family we recommend the words of Job: That the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Brother Chamber's was one of the shareholders/in the Elroy Mfg. Company and manifested an unparalleled interest in this great concern, and his mortal form now rests in a casket made in the plant he helped-build and promote. May his examples serve as a monument to his frugality and as a profit to his wife and family and as an inspiration to his friends and acquaintances. Then, with the words of William Cullen Bryant: So live that when thy unmimous comes to join that innumerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death when so not like a quarry slave at night, scourned to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Again—as again and again the nothingness of our particular group is emphasized. The year has been filled with the most dangerous and delicate happenings, the bitterest of feeling and the most atrocious acts in the history of the nation, so far as we 15,000 are concerned; and yet has it not been regarded sufficient for the president to make even a direct veiled illusion to the need of immediate co-operative adjustment. Our position is awkward and humiliating, but it is insistent and just. Presidents and Congresses, year after year have ignored, sidetracked and "passed the buck" in matters affecting our Constitutional rights. Arthur Brisbane noted, philosopher and journalist in a recent "Today" expression, stated that the cause of unrest is due to the fact that the War has taught the people to think, that in the last five years there has been more real thinking than in the twenty-five previous years. That applies very particularly to our group. We are now a thinking people and we know that we know. We have spent a half century "praying" and "requesting" and have slipped backward in the march of progress. Today we are as summing the prerogatives of full fledged manhood and are "demanding" and "attaining". The results, even in so short a time, are grazing. And now we are demanding a hearing of our case and cause before the bar of justice and public opinion; Before the Congress and in the sight of God, the title of justice is sweeping the earth and we cannot longer be ignored, even if we were willing longer to 'pusyfoot', and merely wilde. We are with the tide, but it is beyond our control. Public opinion is crystallizing in our behalf. This is being reflected in the white pulpit and press; in the private conversations and in the commercial and industrial agencies for a square deal. Many of these either through shame or an awakening conscience, have taken high ground in recent months, which is no more nor less than the true spirit of America speaking. To this liberated group we must rightfully and militantly Join our forces. Such an alliance is impregnable and indomitable. The conclusion of the President's message is mighty in language and the choice of words. Let us hope that in some corner of his cultured mind he, also, thought of us. But if he did not it must here and now be understood that we are thinking of ourselves, and that by no hook or crook, or devious construction, do we propose to be counted out of the equation when he says: "In America there is but one way by which reforms can be accomplished and the relief sought by classes obtained, and that is through the orderly processes of representative government. Those who would propose any other method or reform are caemes of this country. America will not be daunted by threats nor lose her composure or calmness in these distressing times. We can afford in the midst of passion and unrest to be self-contained and sure. The instrument of all reform in America is the student road of justice to all classes and conditions of men. Men have but to follow this road to realize the full fruition of their objects and purposes. Let those beware who would take the shorter road of disorder and revolution. The right road is the road of justice and orderly process.7 That goes for us in all of our group perplexities and bewildering trouble. It goes for Diffranchisement. It goes for Diffranchisement. It goes for Diffranchisement. It goes for economic hold-backs in industrial opportunities and educational privileges. It goes for anarchy and bolsherism and all un- and anti-Americantisms, to which it has been recently claimed our publications, as a whole, and our people, have subscribed their influence. This is not true. Our cry, our eternal cry, is for justice, justice, justice! We must have justice. No true American can expect us to desire anything less, and with bleeding hands raised to heaven we swear that we seek nothing more. We are Americans. Is that not enough to say? NEW YORK, Dec. 10—What in your opinion should be the lowest age at which a Negro could be lynched, without destrucing our best traditions? Georgia, always in the van for innovation, has just completed, with its usual taste for finish, the dispatch of a slave by a yankee through the streets by a pewter and then carefully and chirpily shot. Now this gives rise to several questions in the matter of lynching, and we feel that the art can take its place with other purely American customs, which, so we understand, is the envy of the whole European continent and has already taken its immortal niche in Madame Tussaud's Waxworks. Our third degree system has been brought to a perfect state. We know that our police force can be depended upon to deliver the goods and our Amer loan pride is satisfied with that department of democracy. But in our lynchings we still seem to be groping around in hapless fashion. Our state for instance, will take up the fashion of burning a Negro in oil; another will merely hang him and then when the rope seems about to stifle his breath, shoot him in order to end his sufferings. light by being selected to second the nomination of President McKinley at the Philadelphia convention. That was the last of the real public recognition by the fj. O. P. Au proof of our "skipping," it will be recalled that John R. Lynch, of Mieslalski, was selected as temporary chairman of the national convention in 1884, in Chicago. Can you imagine a citizen of our group being selected in such an honorary place? Tbls is a compromise, we feel, with the original spirit of our national confidence. Again, other parts of the republic have seen fit to declare holidays when the tyrannies were larger than ordinary and women as well as men were scheduled to furnish the amusement. 'The tatter plan, it seems to us, apaches nearer, in a spiritual way, to the best things in bruching. But there is a drawback even to this. For in the states where itself has been done, while thousands were given the chance to enjoy the spectacle, the children could not be present, as the cotton mills did not close, down during the executions. However, that is a more detail and no doubt the ingenuity of our public officials will reify the oversight. But how shall we determine the minimums are? COSMOPOLITAN CAFE JUST OPENED 4267 W. FINNEY Box 138, Central Station, St. Louis, Mp. At aline as Georgia has selected, the Negro child, it seems to us offers little attraction as a tyrches. In the first place, a child at that age is too easily killed and the short ends much too quickly. Why dragging a mere child over cobblestones is apt to kill it before the tree or lampost is reached and what then? Disappointment for all concerned and probably a long walk back to the house, with the dinner grown cold for practically nothing. We believe the proper way to lynch a child, assuming that the Georgian age is a good one at which to begin, would be to hand the youngster over to the white children for practice. Let them take the victim into a school yard, for example, where the se-saws and other toys are placed. The Colored boy might be placed under one end of the se-saw, which could then be raised and allowed to fall upon his head. After he comes back to consciousness the act could be repeated until the white children tire of this, when, let us say, a good object lesson in Biblical history be adopted to bring the afternoon to a happy and satisfying end. With the proper instructors our children would then grow into manhood and womanhood with an expert knowledge of the business and be capable of getting everything out of lynching that is possible. Not only the pure joy of the whole thing, but the unquestionably with the assistance of some ex-Y. M. directors who lost their jobs on getting back from France, the commercial instinct, would be fostered and the children taught to treat a corpse in such a way that portions could be sold as souvenirs to those whose age does not permit them to attend the event. As a suggestion, a good car or portions of the sculpt and arm of a foot might be syndicated to the Macon Telegraph on the Chattanooga Times, or the Atlanta Constitution for photographic reproduction and the children thus taught to earn their own pbn money.

Beautiful, Long, Soft, Glossy, Wavy Hair THE GREATEST DESIRE OF EVERY WOMAN WHOSE HAIR IS SHORT, COARSE AND WIRY Most of a woman's attractiveness depends on her hair. She may have a lovely complexion, her clothes becoming tailored, but without pretty, soft, glossy, wavy hair, she would lack that charm so much desired. You will be more attractive, popular in social life, successful in business you will be admired by everybody, if you will care for your hair properly so as to make it grow longer, softer and dress it to become your style of beauty. If your hair is dry, wiry and coarse, it is necessary to use a treatment that will feed the roots of the hair. Dandruff will cause your hair to become dry, wiry and brittle and soon fall out, and a preparation that will also relieve this scalp trouble is very important. The proper washing of the hair and scalp must be given every care and a pure medicated Soap or Shampoo used once a week. Black and White Hair Dressing is a new white preparation composed of the purest and best ingredients known by specialists to relieve dandruff and make the hair grow soft and glossy. Some time was spent in testing the merits of this new hair dressing, and the manufacturers now believe that they have the best preparation on the market. Certainly there is no dressing just like Black and White for hair troubles. First wash the hair thoroughly with a good soap or shampoo. (There is nothing better than Black and White Soap.) Then apply Black and White Hair Dressing in little pieces night and morning, rubbing well into the scalp. Brush the hair thoroughly several times a day, if possible. Wash the hair again in one week. The regular and continued use of Black and White Hair Dressing will so improve your hair that you will be proud of the day you bought your first package.

But we do believe our citizens should be taught these matters in their youth as an education fundamental. We offer this suggestion to the Boards of Education and to the Boy Scouts and the Campfire girls. It is quite unfair for the students of economic progress to saddle all the cause of "social unrest" among the people of our group on the distribution of propaganda and sedition. As a matter of cold fact, the entire world is tooparty in the matter of social conditions. There has been a universal awakening to the fact the certain so called "superior" groups have been holding the iron heel of oppression on the heads, feet and hands of many so called "inferior" groups, and it is now generally realized that "superiority" and "inferiority" are merely matters of opportunity and environment. Therefore, the Attorney General of the United States in making a report on radicalism and sedition as reflected by our publications has seemed to view the subject entirely from the viewpoint of one who is willing to admit himself "superior" and the 15,000,000 of our group must necessarily be "inferior," with limited and well defined aspirations. There come to the executive offices of The Associated Negro Press, practically all of the publications of the Race. Their editorials, news stories and headlines are carefully scrutinized. It can be truthfully stated that, with one or two exceptions, while the majority of the publications are now "crying from the housesteps", the things that they are crying against, are the things that we fought against on the bloody battlefields of France; the things that the publications are demanding are simply the rights and privileges of American citizens. Are we entitled to them? If not, why not? The present unfortunate state of bitterness of so many people against so many of the whites is due to the fact that so many of the whites will not be fair, and by the same token, the white people must realize, regardless of the past, we are willing to meet them half way, we are not such terrible terrors, ask the French people, they know. GOING OUT OF FASHION (From New Orleans Item) Some months ago, Alabama gave a party of lynchers notice that mob law has been set aside, at least temporarily, in that state. The notice took the form of nearly a score of penitentiary and jail sentences distributed among murderers of a helpless prisoner in a county jail. Later, seven men were convicted at Winston-Salem, North Carolina, of attempting to lynch a Negro. They carried the case to the supreme court. That body has found their conviction was proper, and they must undergo their punishment. This week Kentucky adopted a constitutional amendment providing for the automatic removal of all officials responsible for the maintenance of law and order in a county where a lynching occurs. An enabling act is required to put it in force, but this will undoubtedly pass as soon as the legislature meets. Lynching has had its day in the South Other Southern States will soon follow in the footsteps of those that have taken vigorous measures against it and either punish the lynchers or penalize public officials who let them have their way. The law-abiding citizens of every Southern Sate regard it with horror and detestation, and their influence in the matter will be increasingly felt: It is not merely a grave moral wrong, an outrage aimed at law and order, which endangers all the people, white and black, but it is an economic blunder which injures every community staigned by such occurrences. A LITTLE INTERESTING DOPE ON CHICAGO PROSPERITY Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Dec. 10—In a recent address at South Park Methodist Episcopal church; here, Dr. W. W. Jutas, assst. General Secretary of the Epworth League, Methodist Episcopal Church, declared: "The white people of the South feel that if they could wipe Chicago from the map, the Race problem could be easily solved." What has Chicago done; and what is it going to do? The people of Chicago have initiative economic opportunity, political power, commercial advantages wealth and numbers. With these combinations, it is no wonder that it is the most talked of city in America, and yet the opportunities have not all been worked out or even taken advantage of. There is no city in the country where the people of the group are more united than in Chicago at this time. What is this unity doing for Chicago? Just a few things will give a general idea of the trend of the times: The Chicago business League has been organized with a membership of more than 1,000 and a budget of more than $10,000 provided to increase in every way commercial efficiency and opportunities; a chain of co-operative grocery stores have recently been established; a $300,000 hotel, with all modern equipment, has recently been opened; a $100,000 old line life insurance company "The Liberty" has been incorporated; a state bank, backed by a group of prominent business men, is to be opened the first of the year; a building and loan association "The Pyramid" has been established; the Associated Negro Press is preparing to increase the force of its service for 1920; a fully equipped moving picture studio has been opened; there will be a candidate for member of Congress; and more than $1,000,000 will be expended next year in building and real estate transfers. These scattered illustrations serve to show the practical working out of the Chicago spirit—"I will"—and probably explains, in part, why some are uneasy about group progress in the "Windy City".
