RACE TENSION FAILED TO HALTOUR ADVANCEMENT DURING 1919 Material Achievements And Economic Progress During The Year Was Greatest In History, Agencies For Uplift Have Increased In Financial Strength And Influence, Prospects Are Encouraging St. Louis Citizens Liberty League Organizes Women's Auxiliary Platforms And Policies Of Parties Will Be Closely Studied Freedom Of Mind, As Well As Freedom From the Clutches Of Political Tyranny Will be the Watchword. By Associated Press From CHICAGO, Dec. 51. The final survey of 1919, as arranged by the Associated Negro Press, disclosed the fact that the year was the greatest in history in material achievements and economic progress. This is true despite the fact that race opposes its highest point, and the many outrages being in various sections of the country. cable to one race than the other, but it has had an unequivocal effect. The entrance of women into politics opens a field of action promising to be as delicate as it will be interesting. Upon the whole, the Colored people of America, should accomplish more for themselves in 1920, than in any previous five years of our existence in the country. These contests, though ever deplorable, have served to focus the attention of the nation, in a serious way on matters that have either been ignored, recorded with indifference or ridiculed by the majority of whites. The year has been remarkable for the establishment of large business enterprises of a co-operative nature in Northern cities. Never has there been such a showing in this respect, the investments been so large, and the co-operation of the people more enthusiastic. Despite the fact that there have been some failures, business ground business matters, confidence of the people has not been shaken, and they study with their dollars as soon as according to the failures with amazing philosophy: Another feature of the economic progress has been the clos of business enterprises established. The people have catered new fields of activity, long ignored, and are meeting with success. Among them are such enterprises as department stores, groceries, meat markets, hospitals, inacturing, transportation, banks, and building construction for and among Colored people for the entire country, approximately 100,000,000, according to the last information. This is itself remarkable. Agencies For Uplift The national agencies for uplift among the Colored people of the United States have increased in financial strength and influence more than ever before. Among the strongest of these agencies are the following: Churches, lodges, schools, the National Urban League, the National Negro Business League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Young Men's Work, Young Women's War, Christian Association, National Equal Rights League, the Associated Negro Press, the National Negro Press Association, the Lincoln League. These organizations cover every phase of the problems of the entire group, and their work is carried on with commendable efficiency and ever increasing support of the people at large. The work of these various organizations attracts not only the people of the group, but for 1919 especially the leading forces among the whites have given great importance to the prosecution and helpful co-operation of a substantial nature. The results have been a more intelligent understanding, and a more widespread interest in the problems of adjustment. - Prospects for 1920 The prospects for larger achievements and better understanding in 1920 are very flattering and encouraging. The people of our country are well aware of the number of apologies of both races, who are resolved to distribute even-handed justice, and who get the most respectful consideration from all sources. The spirit of Americanism is manifesting itself in deeds of justice and acts of human brotherhood. The economic value, as well as the unserving Americanism of our group are being more guarded than we should for their true value to the cause of progress and domestic peace, plenty and happiness. Political Activity The political activity of the Colored people promises to excel in 1920 any thing ever before seen since the enfranchisement of the Race. As with the whites, the majority of the voters of the Race are between twenty-one and forty-five. Of that number, 10,000 were stationed during the war, and over 1,000,000 were registered as being of serviceable age. This vast army of vigorous Americans has had a "now birth of freedom," freedom of mind, as well as freedom from the clutches of political tyranny. Potentiality, they are, for the most part, Republicans. But they are resolved not to remain Republicans either. They are not much included in the practice and policy of the Democratic party, particularly in the South, but they have listened to its applause, in many sections of the North, in limited numbers, and many have accepted the faith of the Socialists. Their concern is manifested in the platforms and policies of the parties, and it may be highly said that they have, like the Colored voter may be regarded as an encouraging an open mind, and fundamentally independent in his political concern. There is a spreading determination among the Colored citizens in old Tennessee of the people from the slaves who were ever before seen since the enfranchisement of the Race.

The airplanes are still set for the flight; it is simply a case of rising to the heights. Special dispatches picture the trouble in Trinidad as a rising of the Negroes there in which the government building overseeing Spain, the principal town of the island, were stormed and held for three days. Returned soldiers were implicated in the disturbances, it is stated. Today's advice announce that Port of Spain is quiet, but that the country districts are still disturbed. BIGGEST FETE IN THE HISTORY OF MEDINAH TEMPLE Last Tuesday evening, December 30, an host of social, business and professional folk of St. Louis through the Louisiana Hall, 911 Vandeverte Avenue, where they were invited to be present at the 89 annual banquet under the Order of Mystic Shrine, and to enjoy the greatest social event in the history of colored shrimpo in this city. That this set of Masons of high rank contain more than a fair share of affable and congenial sons of the desert, and Shrimpo is more than a more fraternal fad, was shown by the display of the organization graciously expressed their genuine, hospitality to their scores of invited guests. Much music was heard from a first class orchestra which furnished just that sort of strains to which the majority of the guests were tempted to trip the fantastic toe in one of the best dance pavilions in this city. After enjoying several hours at dancing, at a signal, the orchestra played a march, and a procession headed by Past Potentate, George W. McKinion; Imperial Deputy of Missouri, Illustrious Grand Potentate, Essex, Victoria, and the congregation of Temple with a retinue of officers of his cabinet, led the way, followed by Nobles and their guests to the banquet halls where a sumptuous supper was served in courtesies. There, an interesting program consisting of song, music and speechmaking was rendered. The McKinion, "The Imperial Council"; Noble Thes. J. Hunter, "A Professional and Fraternal Mane"; Noble S. F. Phillips, "A Good Thing to be a Shriller"; Grand Commandress of Isk, Daughter Anna H. Groves, were well received, and each speaker elicited hearty applause, not pleasing feature of the program, wildsmith Smith, a metro soprano of rare ability. Her soulful songs showed special voice training and that her thrashes had a marked degree of volume and carrying power. Miss Bess Higgins was at the piano as Mrs. Smith's accompanist and performed with creedion Medinah Temple, by illustrators E. J. Victoria, was a detailed review of the Temple's constructive work. He declared that Medinah had cuttied all other temples in numerical strength and stands today as the largest body of congregated.

That the constructive plans made by the Potentate should be fully developed and as an appreciation of the remarkable work done by him, E. J. Victory was elected by a large majority of the Nobles at a recent session of the temple, succeeding himself as potentate for the next ensuing year. Says, "Up In The Zone Where Death Was Spread About, I Found The Black Man And The White Man Fallen Side By Side." Calmed Alarm Of Intelligence Operator During War By Assuring Him "Negroes Could Neither Be Cajoled, Threatened Nor Bought To Enter A Conspiracy To Injure This Country." "One night a sultan gentleman in the intelligence service came to my home greatly alarmed, because he had obtained evidence that Prussian spies were offering large sums of money and hoped to organise a Negro division of action sabotage. When I found that Prussian spies were retiring upon organised Negro assistance, I calmed his fears by assuring him that, though here and there he might find a traitor among the American Negroes, he might give himself no troubles, for I knew that the Negroes could assault, he be forced now threatened nor bought to enter a conspiracy to injure this country. He even proved that I was right. Later, when the call came to take up arms, more than 200,000 Negroes went across the sea to fight, not a few of them to seal their devotion with their blood and many to win decorations for their fine fighting qualities and faithful services. "This was not the first time American Colored soldiers have fought trained Prussian troops and have given good training to their soldiers, who fought against the revolutionaries soldiers wrote: The Negro can take the fields instead of his master, and therefore no regiment is to be seen in which there are not Negroes in abundance, and among them are able-bodied strong brave fellows." The Rev. Dr. Harris of New Hampshire, a doctor of the Revolution, writing of their fighting said: "Three times they were attacked with most desperate fury by well-disciplined soldiers, and times did they successfully repel the assault and thus preserve our army from capture." "The spirit of America with reference to brave Colored soldiers has been expressed in many communities, North and South, but perhaps its best expression was given in the welcome tendered, by the city of Albany, N. Y., when former Gov. Glenn, Mayor Watt and Sgt. Henry Johnson, to serve with the Army in Albany's heroic soldier." When the United States entered the war, Sgt. Johnson went across among the first, was decorated by the French and honored by America for having killed four Germans and wounded twenty-eight more. "It is fitting that here at Washington a suitable memorial of the derivation of Colored troops should be erected. In truth the aim of former slave owner has proved to be a formative lesson for men who were faithful in days that tested fealty. In North Carolina a Confederate soldier has built a textile mill and named it for a Colored man who was true and worthy. "As token of a country's recognition of the courage of Negroes of this and other wars, the people of every part of the republic will join in hastening a passage of a suitable monument. It will be an innumerable youth of the race to simulate the virtues of the men whose deeds it will commemorate." Speakers of the evening were Secretary of war Baker, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, ExGov. Glynn of New York, Dr. John Van Schakel president of the District board of education; Associate Justice Wendell Phillips-Stafford of the Supreme Court, Col. Charles Young, Rev. Henry Collis state commissioner of Illinois; Rev. R. K. Christian of Kentucky; Attorney Robert L. Miller, Prof. J. R. Hawkinson and Philips of the War Camp community Service sang James S. Howard, secretary of the National Memorial Association, presented the plans of the organization for securing the proposed memorial. F. D. Lee, president of the memorial association, presided. Secretary Baker preclaimed that the western front in the world war, "When I visited France I found the Colored man doing his share of the work from the embassies port to the war站.

O'NEIL ON MOB LAW Says, "United States Must Stop Mob Violence And Savagery Or Step Down As One Of The Civilized And Christian Nations Of The World." Praises Race For Its Progressiveness Associated Negro Press BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 31—Ex-Governor Emmett O'Neal of Alabama, president of the Bar Association of that State, in addressing the members of the Twentieth Century Club urged that in all parts of the country the orderly distribution of law be discussed the race riots of the country. "Who can say that the Negro race is not progressing and that economic freedom does not lie ahead of it?" ask the Governor. "Despite the fact that they have often been exploited and guided unwisely to commit the victims of visionary schemes, they have been the dollars' worth of property and have reduced litteracy among themselves from 90 to 30 per cent. "I voice the spirit of the new South when I say that mob violence and disorder is ended; that when the problem is solved as we intend to solve it—with the race emity eradicated then will the beaten-down the wise leaders of the South be realized. "Violence and disorder in the North during the last decade show that no section of the country can point the finger of scorn at any other section. "The police must be national or the United States only, and one of the civilized and Christian nations of the world. The United States cannot afford to be the only civilized nation which permits mob violence and harassment." SOLDIER OF 10TH CAV. LEADING BAND OF INDIAN RAIDERS By Associated Negro Press DOUGLAS, ATL., Dec. 31—An American Negro who deserved recency from the Tenth United States Cavalry, is reported to be the leader of a band of approximately 300 Yaqil Indians, who raided the eastern part of the Montenida district Mexico, according to travellers who arrived here.

The Chef Club of New York gave a concert at Carnegie Hall, in aid of a memorial fund to perpetuate the name and honor of bleu-tent Europe who was murdered by one of his men during a concert in Boston shortly after his return to America. The audience was too small. The importance of the Negro's contribution to the music of America is not yet fully realized. Those in search of more entertainment would have been fully repaid by the performance of the consecured work of the Negro organization. Those who were present, however, made up for the smallness of their numbers by the heartiness of their applause. The program included Europe's Chef Club, March, Negro spirituals, songs and dances by various members of the group. William H. Tyers, and the leader of the chorus, William C. Elkins. MASS MEETING TO ROUSE SENTIMENT TO WRONGS SUFFERED BY COLORED PEOPLE NEW YORK, Jan. 1. A mass meeting to rouse public sentiment to the wrong suffered by the America Negro will be held on the evening of January 5 in Cooper Union on the occasion of the annual meeting in New York City of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, if was announced today at the headquarters, 75 Fith Avenue, Dudley Field Malone, former collector of the port of New York, to be the chief speaker. Dr. W. E. B. Dobson as his subject "The American Conso," a description of conditions in the South rivalling the horrors of the Belgian Congo. The other speakers announced for the meeting are John Hayne Holmes and M. H. Gusaway, who was threatened with assassination in Anderson, South Carolina, because of his connection with the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of People. The evening meeting is to be preceded by a business meeting at 2 p.m. at the State Water Resources Board. BE READY FOR THE CENSUS ENUMERATOR The enumerators began taking the census Friday morning. The work is to be finished in two weeks. Every citizen should aid in making the count accurate. If you will not be at home, write the answers down on paper so the enumerator can have them. importance to Colored People. Because of the economic changes since 1910, the importance of the approaching decennial census to the Colored people should not be underestimated. These changes will be a matter of record in the history of the growth of the race, and of the Nation, and the statistical information which will be compiled from the data will carry the census enumerators, who will carry the census in January, should constitute a reliable information for this and for future generations. Through migration the Colored population of some states has considerably increased, while in others it has decreased since the United State census of 1910. Agricultural activities appear to be extending in new directions. Thousands of Colored men and women have entered the industrial life of the states as producers, indications, in certain states, that they are in a decline in home ownership. A substantial growth in the number of business enterprises owned and operated by Colored men is reflected in their newspapers and magazines, which are growing in number and influence. The number of professional men and women are steadily increasing, and the percentage of litteracy is rapidly decreasing. The accuracy of the census reports depends largely upon the willingness of each individual to answer daily, each question asked by the enumerator, and it is only in this way that reliable data can be obtained from which can be determined the social and economic progress made by each element of the population in the United States. Census Bureau emphasizes the point that the census enumerator collected by the census enumerator must be confidential. It cannot be used as taxation, for the enforcement of any Federal, State or local law, or in any way whatsoever that will cause harm to the person giving it or to his affairs. No one, therefore, should hesitate to give to the census enumerator complete and truthful replies, which the enumerator can use in filling out them, or the census schedule carried by them, or any attempt be made by anyone to cover up the true facts that pertain to each man and woman. Questions to Be Asked. 1. Age at last birthday. 2. Each person ten years of age and over will be asked whether he is able to read or write. 3.

Church for the arrest of the person who assaulted its pastor, the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter. Sometimes ago, the preacher denounced from the pulpit persons who rented rooms for what he clearly stated were immoral purposes. The next morning a letter came to the Carpenter home at 182 Duffield street, threatening vengeance if the Rev. Mr. Carpenter did not stop "that sort" of serum-lizing. However, the following Sunday, the divine continued his fight against the devil. Two days later his doorbell rang, and the preacher answering the call himself, found a tall man standing on the steps. Without a word, the man struck Mr. Carpenter over the head with a bundle he was carrying; a bundle which contained a clobblestone. Mr. Carpenter was knocked unconscious, and was found several minutes later by his wife. The police of the Adams street station were notified but no arrests were made, so the board of trustees of the church voted to offer the reward. LOYAL ASSOCIATION FORMED IN VIRGINIA By Associated Negro Press RICHMOND, Va. Dec. 24—Members of the executive committee of the Colored Citizen's Patriotic League at an informal conference late with President James W. Poe, presiding decided to take steps to form an Interstate Colored Loyal, Association as an auxiliary of the league, to join in a petition to the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee to oppose favourable consideration of the appeal made to it sometime ago by a committee of eight colored men, led by a Colored man from Oklahoma, asking for aid to form an independent state for Colored people, made up of 500 square miles of territory to be acquired from the Carranza government of Mexico and like number of square miles from the State of Texas in the United States, placing the independent Colored state partly in Mexico and a like number of square miles from the State of Texas in the United States and partly in Texas. The committee opposes any negotiation with Mexico for any part of its territory' for this purpose especially at a time when there are such strained relations between the two countries. President Poe said the Interstate Association would "stand for" "America for Americans" whether black or white, native or naturalized. MOTON SPEAKS TO SOUTH'RN GOVERNORS By Associated, Negro Press.

He referred to Jim Crow Cars, relating some of his own experience in traveling and strongly urged that some effort should be made to improve traveling accommodations for Colored people. He referred also to the migration of Colored people stating that it was his observation and his belief that there was more unrest among the Colored people at present than ever before and he felt it was due to lynchings and other forms of lawlessness. "White people he said, make the laws, interpret the laws and execute the laws and there is no danger of likelihood that any criminal Colored man will escape punishment that he might deserve, when once he is carried into court." Among the prominent white people present at the conference were Governor Dorsey; Governor Cooper of South Carolina; Governor Roberts of Tennessee; Governor Blickett of North Carolina; Dr. J. E.

Y., Dec. 24—Fokk University of Nashville, Tennessee, the largest privately endowed institution of the higher education of Negroes in America, will be enriched by $2,000,000 if the drive in its interest started here reaches a successful conclusion. At a banquet given at the Hotel Astor, last night, Gov. A. H. Roberta of Tennessee, Abraham Flexner of the General Education Board and Chancellor J. H. Kirkland of Vanderbilt University, all talked in support of the drive, the object of which is to make possible a broadening of the work of the University. Governor Robert declared that the education of Negroes for leadership among their own people was the greatest need of the day. "Negroes," he said, "are naturally religious and patriotic and can be made into the most valuable citizens, if given an opportunity to find proper leadership among themselves. By Associated Negro Press There is one thing certain, in working out the plans of Race relationship in the United States, that the number of clear thinking white people is necessary. That we have the good will of thousands, is unquestioned; that the number is increasing rapidly is evident. We must all be sensible, Frank and fair, with each other. If we expect to get any where. To that fine sentimental group of white Americans who give us a square deal because their conscience dictates their course, must be considered that practical, and larger number of whites who believe in justice, but who for one reason or another do not care to be labeled "a friend of the Negro." In working out the problems, argue as we may it is necessary to see the other point of view. You are living a happy peaceful successful life with your business, family and friends, and you have no grudge against the people of Austra lia, nor have you any special love for them except as human beings. You can go along merely with or without them. Suppose you owned a piece of property in Melborne, and sold it to a citizen there, and the next thing you know, your home has been broken, you receive threatening letters on your life, you are fainted before the people as a savenger, and have charges beferred for expulsion from your clubs for "conduct unbecoming a gentleman" what would you think An exact case in mind is that of William R. Austin, of Chicago, who has actually experienced all the foregoing, because he sold and rented two pieces of property owned by him on Grand Boulevard. Mr. Austin is an extraordinarily high minded, wealthy white citizen, and he has been "branded" because he has Colored patrons, which was neither here nor there with him. It was simply a matter of business. Mr. Austin does not care to pose as "the Colored people's friend", but his sense of square dealing has been so high that the matter of color was not a subject for consideration. In all fairness can you not understand that there are thousands of people, fair enough at heart, who do not care to assume our burdens, or be misunderstood in the things they do? If you were in their place would you do otherwise? Most all of us have "troubles enough of our own", without looking elsewhere to find them. Associated Negro Press COLON DEC 33—The Black Star Liner.

THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, Jan. 2, 1920 SPECIAL EDUCATION FOR TEACHERS OF COLORED CHILDREN NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 24—Probably the most promising of all the solutions recently advanced for the racial problem in the United States is that looking toward the more extensive education of colored school teachers for colored school children. Education is, of course the basis of all progress in civilization. And, equally, of course, the character of the teacher determines the character of the education. Do you know, however, that more than half of the colored teachers in Southern public schools have an education of less than the equivalent of six elementary grades. The majority of these are paid $22.48 per month, or an average of $80.92 for a school year of four months. And yet intelligent and high-spirited Negro girls, convinced that their first duty to their race is to raise the standards of education are yearly seeking adequate training as teachers only to find that the few training schools are overcrowded and at best, give inadequate training. At least three colleges—Atlanta, Howard, and Fisk—are prepared to for "teachers" College work Of. Fisk University, Nashville. Ten—the second largest university in the world for colored men and women—President Fayette Avery McKenzie said recently, "The continued heavy registration of young women has been almost surprising."—Annually the number of applications of Negro girls to Fisk is far in excess of the ability of the university to provide for them. Students of our racial problems are unanimous in paying tribute to the services of these college-trained Negro girls in raising the standards of their race. They have gone out from the college to every corner of the South, most of them as teachers, some as school supervisors, some as nurses. In the home economics field, in well fare work, in spreading a knowledge of hygiene and child-care and the desire for better home conditions, the work of these women has been beyond compare. In the case of Fish University, for example, fully half of the 4,000 living graduates and 4,000 former students are teaching and have under their direction and influence no fewer than 80,000 of the colored children of the South. Fortunately the greater part of the South is now recognizing the value of these services, and is beginning to provide adequate training school facilities for its Negro school teachers. Negro educational institutions and organizations are wholeheartedly co-operating—notably Fisk University, itself, which this week launches its $2,600,000 campaign, part of the object of which is to build a model teaching training school on the college grounds. RACES IN KENTUCKY GET TOGETHER By Associated Negro Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 24. "At a Joint Conference of the National Consumers League, the Americanization Committee of the Kentucky Branch of the Woman's Council of National Defense and the "Kentucky Conference of Social Work," held at Louisville, November 20-24, was a very important session, devoted to race relationships. This is reported to have been the first meeting ever held in Kentucky where leaders of both races came together before a large audience of both races to talk over important matters of common interest. The spirit of the meeting was encouraging in every way. "At the close of the session the following resolutions were adopted 1. We favor the establishing of district sanitaria with state aid for the care and treatment of all persons both white and Colored in Kentucky, who suffer from tuberculosis. 2. We urge all the people of our Southland, both white and Colored to cooperate with the view of bringing about better understanding between the races and to this end provide adequate educational facilities for Negro youth. To adopt measures that will insure the Negro's health. To recognize the good and higher qualities of the Negro through press and otherwise. To guarantee justice and a recognition of his rights before the law on both sides. To labor for industrial justice for the Negro. To endeavor in every reasonable way to give the Negro a man's chance and help him work out his own salvation as an American citizen. NEGRO YEAR BOOK By Associated Negro Press TUSKEGEE INST. Ala.

A. M. E. BISHOP DIES NEW YORK, Dec. 24. —The Rev. Dr. Alexander Priestly Camphor, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Africa and formerly president of the College of West Africa at Monroe, Liberia, died from pneumonia, December 12, at his temporary residence. 25 Webster Place, South Orange, N. J. He had been ill a week. Dr. Camphor was born at Sociat, La., August 9, 1965, the son of Perry and Elizabeth Camphor, both of whom had been slaves until freed during the Civil War. His parents died in his early childhood, and he was adopted by his pastor, Rev. Stephen Priestly, who had him educated at New Orleans University, and at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta. Later he pursued postgraduate courses at Union Theological Seminary, Columbia University and the University of Chicago. He was professor of mathematics at New Orleans University in 1889-93 and pastor of Methodist churches at Germantown, Pa., in 1895 and Orange, N. J. in 1896. In 1897 he went to Liberia to become president of the college of West Africa and filled that post for ten years. During the last five years being Vice-Consul General of the United States in Liberia. He returned to this country in 1908, and for the next eight years was president of Central Alabama Institute at Birmingham, Ala. In 1916 he was elected Bishop of Africa by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church which met that year at Saratoga Springs, and thereafter made his home again at Monrovia. He was a delegate to the Methodist General Conference of 1904 and 1912, and to the World's Missionary Conference at Edinburgh in 1910, and was a member of the African Society, the Freedmen's Ald Institution of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Southern Sociological Congress. He was the author of "Missionary Story Sketches," published in 1909, and ranked among the foremost pulpit orators of his church. He was married in 1895 to Miss Mary A. R. Weathers, of Woodville, Miss, who survives him. He came to the United States, accompanied by Mrs. Camphor last Spring to attend the Centennial Exposition of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Columbus, Ohio, and took an active part in the great "Centenary Drive" for a fund for a million dollars for a 5 years world-wide campaign. He remained here to attend the annual meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Foreign Missions, but was taken ill just before the opening session. Funeral services for Bishop Camphor were held at 11 o'clock, December 14, in St. John's Methodist Episcopal Church, Rickory street, South Orange, interment took place at New Orleans, La. ANOTHER WHITE MAN FINDS OUT WHAT THE NEGROES ARE AFTER Associated Negro Press PHILADELLE, Pa., Dec. 24. William Anthiuse, white, in a statement to the Associated Negro Press, has some very pertinent things to say on "race adjustment," and he has very wisely arranged for the people of his group to learn his opinions. He says: "What Colored people want is to have the same chance to live happy, useful, successful lives as white people. They wish not to be discriminated against in the matter of obtaining employment; desire the same wages for the same work; the same school facilities for their children; the same opportunity for the young people to acquire trades, and education in the professions and wholesome housing conditions; hospital facilities. In fact, they want no discrimination whatever, because of difference of color. They believe a man a man no matter what his color and he should be treated as such. If the twelve millions of Negroes in America are to be given brain-labor hand-labor and heart-labor to this civilization of ours, they must be given the tools of achievement and share the reward of co-workers. They ask nothing of us that is not fair and just, and they should be treated fairly and justly by their white fellow-citizens. Why not? Too many of us, in judging the Negro, fix the eye inexorably upon some atrocious or unjustifiable act of a single individual. Is this the way to judge a race? The tribunal of history does not condemn Christianity because some of its adherents were criminals, nor the Puritans because some of them burned witches. Democracy can only be preserved by citizens as jealous of the rights of others as of their own. There cannot exist two codes of law in Repubblica, one for high and one for low. A mistaken notion exists in the minds of our people, that Negroes want social equality with the whites. They do not. They are satisfied with their wn society; with Colored young men marrying Colored girls; with the companionship of their own race, and with the building up of their social institutions; they are as sensitive in the presence of inappropriate situations as white people are, and are just as adverse to forcing themselves upon people who do not desire their presence. NORFOLK COLORED PEOPLE THRIFTY NORFOLK, Va. Dec 24 Many and varied are the enterprises conducted by our group in Norfolk, Virginia. The city has felt the impetus of industry caused by the recent war and as many of the camps were located near here, naturally civilians followed, and of course our people came too. The latest reports credit Norfolk with 78,750 Negroes. Among such a large number assembled from many places, there are many of the "be can who thinks he can" type and as a result they are putting their heads together and their money into racial enterprises that are employing men and women of their group. As an evidence of the progress that is being made in Norfolk, we will give a few citations.

In the State of Massachusetts women were first permitted to enter the three great professions of medicine, law and the ministry as well as many other lines of professional and business life. Among the young business and professional women of Boston and New England who have come to the front is Miss Victorial Blackwell, stenograner and advertising specialist, who bag had the honor to be appointed a notary public by Governor Calvin Coolidge. Miss Blackwell, as far as known, is the first young woman of the Negro race to receive such an appointment in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She is a graduate of the Centre High School, 63, Norwalk, Conn., and Bryant and Stratton Commercial College, 636 Boston, Mass. Miss Blackwell, whose education was acquired wholly by personal effort, private study and contact with the business world, stands today in the forefront of representative Colored American women because she has by energy and clear-sighted business capacity succeeded in building up a large and profitable business in the field of stenography and typewriting among the best firms in Greater Boston. She merits special commendation for her success in a field where she is the first of her race in Boston to establish a public service, and win recognition by strict attention to the fundamental principles which constitute a sound business.

Attention is called to the following facts given in a letter from Heman E. Perry, President of the Standard Life Insurance Company, who is the Chairman of the Organization, Committee of the Citizens Trust Company. PURPOSE This institution is a crying need for the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, the Country and the Race. An institution that will help our people BUY and BUILD HOMES; an institution that will help our FARMERS to SECURE FARMS on long time payments and low rate of interest and to DEVELOP HIS FARM; an institution that will help develop BUSINESS CONCERNS AND INDUSTRIAL CORPORATIONS; an institution that will provide all of the services of a Bank and Trust Company. SUPERVISION This Bank will apply for membership in the Federal Reserve System, which will place it under Government as well as State supervision; an institution that can help our Farmers reach the Government Farm Loan Bank. The Citizens Trust Company has already been passed upon by the United States Capital Issues Committee of the Sixth Federal Reserve District of Atlanta, and the Capital Issues Committee of the United States Treasury Department, Washington, D.

The income and will be interested and offer for sale, a Trust Company stock is five months. 99 interest. Stock in the Citizens Trust Company will pay well and from the beginning for the reason that the institution will have so many ways of making money. Dividends will be declared every six months or quarter. The half million dollars in capital and surplus will be immediately put to work. The millions handled each year by the several Insurance Companies could pass through the trained force of the organized Bank and Trust Company. The commissions in the handling of this would be enormous, as would be the commissions on the vast sums on the Government Farm Loans passing through the institution. Our people everywhere would invest their savings in the high-grade securities handled by the Trust Company. There are many other ways by which the institution will make money aside from the large amount of DEPOSITE received locally and by mail. Investment in stock of the Citizens Trust Company would pay handsomely if the institution had only the City of Atlanta in which to do business. The most crying need today of this most progressive city is a REAL BANK. The Citizens Trust Company will have branch offices in all important centres and will do business in all sections where our high-grade men can be interested.

Much has been said about the possible Republican Presidential candidates to be considered by the party at Chicago next June. Among those mentioned are many strong and able men of the party. A platform that is going to be a winner is giving the leaders no little concern. We would suggest that Calvin Coolidge be consulted if they want a winning platform. Law and Order in America carries the right ring. The people of the nation are getting tired of this jelly-fish rule. The re-election of Calvin Coolidge as Governor of Massachusetts by such a large majority after his brave stand for law and order proves conclusively that his stand was right. Governor Coolidge ran on a law and order platform, and he won. Such a platform would be good for the Republican party. If there is any doubt as to whether the man who may be selected will be able to subscribe to and carry out such a platform, then we would suggest the "drafting" of Calvin Coolidge, Governor of Massachusetts. He is big enough to carry out such a platform, which this nation stands so much in need of today. "TO THE MUSIC LOVERS OF ST. LUCIUS."

A notable social event of the week was the crystal wedding, anniversary celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Erans, of 1719 N. Pendleton avenue, Nine 5th. Quite a hundred friends and relatives assembled to wish them. God spared, and there was a lavish display of evening gowns among the ladies, for which the gentlemen in evening dress formed a fitting background. The bride was attended by Mrs. E. Blackwell-Jennings, of Chicago, as president of home and Mrs. Lauro Murphy, and the groom by Lieut. A. E. Evans and Mr. R. M. Murphy. Rev. Geo. E.

Zion Church will be the speaker at the Sunday Afternoon Meeting of the Pine St. Department Y. M. C. A. at 4 o'clock. Dr. Martin has a wonderful message for men, and all who come will enjoy a real treat. The Christmas Season was amply celebrated at the Pine St. Y. The Commonwealth Fellowship Club's Tree for the benefit of the Commonwealth employees was a wonderful success. Mr. Clarence Howard, the President of the Commonwealth Co., was present and distributed in person toys among the children of the employees. The Union Electric Co. also held their Christmas celebration in the gymnasium of the Y., at which time toys were distributed to all the children. The Y. held-open house New Year's day for all its members and friends, the Board of Managers acting as the Reception Committee and the wives of the Board men acting as the Serving Committee. Games were played and its musicale was held in the lobby, to the enjoyment of all who attended. Last week about 150 Christmas goers found a deal of pleasure in watching two of the match basket ball games of the Pine St. Basket Ball League, which is offering a Saturday night attraction for many children, ladies and gentlemen. The Invincible Bottoms Gang met and easily disposed of their rival. The All Stars, amid much fast playing, shrieks and thrills, yet that game was tame when compared, with the almost breathless silence in which the spectators sat while watching the intermediate Boys smash through the harriers of the Red Triangle. True, they were both boys' teams, but they were real basketball players. This game ended 12 to 11, in favor of the intermediate Boys. The games on this Saturday night: The Secretarial Combination, which has never lost a game, will meet the Lightning Raiders, and the Dormitory Men will meet the Hawaiian Boys' Social Club. These two games are expected to be of very great interest, and it is hoped that the many basket ball fans of St. Louis will not lose this opportunity of coming to see these games. Y.W.C.A. Wheatley Branch W. C. A. has been the scene of many demonstrations of the real Christmas spirit during the past week. The girls' work department has engaged in quite a few activities during the holiday season. On Christmas morning a Christmas tree was held in the gymnasium for some little children for whom no Christmas had been planned. On Monday afternoon a party was held in the parlor for the younger girls' reserves, and on Tuesday night in the gymnasium a party was held for the High School Girls and their company. The Girls' Reserves wish to express thanks to Miss Annie K. Russell, Mr. L. S. Williams, Dr. C. H. Turner and Dr. T. A. Curtis for the use of their cars on Christmas evening. Girls, start the New Year right, by becoming a member of our Association and various clubs. For two Sundays the spirit of Christmas has been fostered at the Vesper Service by telling of Christmas stories and the singing of Christmas songs. The employed girls' Christmas festival on Tuesday night was a decided success. Miss Helen Adams, Industrial Secretary, is spending the holidays if Chicago with relatives. The New Year finds Wheatley Branch on the threshold of an annex to be used as a dormitory and cafeteria. We are hoping to occupy this building in January. Attractive quarters and comfortable rooms will be available. Reservations may be made now at the Association headquarters. RED CROSS COMMITTEE The United States Government has requested the American Red Cross to take charge of all activities in the United States Public Health Hospitals. These activities, for which the Red Cross is definitely responsible, are as varied as is the need. The policy has been to include everything in the way of entertainment which will make the hospital patients a little bit happier and more contented until their cure is completed. Red Cross is absolutely bound by rules and regulations concerning the admittance of all individuals and committees in the hospitals and must adhere strictly to orders from headquarters. It is however, the desire of the Red Cross to co-operate with all organizations who are interested in this type of work. In order to have the work carried on satisfactorily, a Red Cross committee has been appointed to take charge of all recreations in the colored room, set aside so that purpose. Mrs. Victor Chay Heyes has been appointed chairman of the committee. Mrs. Haley will be glad to hear from all organizations who are desirous of going into the recreation rooms for the purpose of adding a little cheer to the men still disabled at the hospital. Such a committee may go in as a group from any organization and must abide definitely by the regulations and rules which have been planned for all committees doing this work. Mrs. Haley may be reached at 209 North Jefferson Avenue. The other members of the committee are: Mr. F. L. Williams, Mrs. C. K. Robinson, Miss Hayris, Mr. David D. Jones, Mrs. Amanda Gray, Mrs. A. E. Malone.

On Christmas Eve a jolly bunch journeyed out to the Bass Hospital to entertain those boys who are confined in the hospital. Besides 21 members of the Community Service, the Choral Club, under the instruction of Mr. Tlyer, journeyed out to Jefferson Barracks on Christmas night and rendered a magnificent program to over 700 soldiers gathered in the old "Y" but. This program consisted of negro spirituals, solos, duets and other choruses and was immensely enjoyed by all present. After this was over the entire Chorus was invited to the Red Cross but to sing for the convalescent boys in uniform. The director of the Colored Community Service hereby expresses his profound thanks and appreciation to those members of the Community Service Choral Club who so willingly gave up their Christmas night in order that they might do this piece of badly-needed service to their country. The regular Christmas dance was held on Saturday night, the 27th, at Pythian Hall. Nearly 300 were present and enjoyed themselves.
