TERRIFIC CYCLONE IN THE POLITICAL WORLD Parties, Factiona And Candidates Open Up With Their "Big Guns." First National Movement By Colored Will Be Lincoln League Convention In Chicago, Feb. 12th. Race Man Expected To Be Appointed On Republican Committee Of "Platform And Associated Negro Press: CHICAGO, III. Jan. 14—There has been a terrific cyclone in the political world in recent days, a little earthquake in Chicago, and a bit of lightning in the westan San Francisco. Outside of that, the weather has been calm, and the situation peaceful. Chicago entertained National Committeemen, Chairman, Women leaders and political prophets of sundry descriptions from fifteen states, for two days. There were two outstanding possibilities: the prerence of Gen. Leonard Wood and Governor Frank O. Lowden, presidential possibilities, at a banquet, and their mutual desacundation of "reds"; and the fact that the women are in the game for equality of action as well as equality of honor. The gathering demonstrated that up to date, the most successful political job are the two named gentlemen, and Senator Warren H. Harding, of Ohio. There was a notable absence at the banquet, and along "Presidential Row" at the Congress hotel, of "the brother," but that does not indicate that he is not thinking "a whole heap," even if he is not being conspicuously consulted in the big places. There is a nationwide interest with reference to what action National Chairman, Will H. Hayes is going to take towards representation on the important committee of "platform and polies," adopted in Washington. That it will appoint a representative from the clan, a prominent clan, a clan. Who it will be is another matter, but a prominent citizen said recently: "In my opion, it should be Koscee Counling Simmons, of Louisville He is demonstrating real leadership, and by his constant and extensive travel, has full knowledge of the sentiment of the people." The Lincoln League, of which Col. Simmons is president, and which will hold its annual convention in Chicago February 12, has issued the official call, and from all infidels there will be a law that prohibits them from being the "tabor and political" convention and will deal with the questions of the day "without gloves," but probably there will not be any skin scratched from the kennels in the warships that appear to belong to the little demons of injustice. It is interesting to note that there NEW. YORK CITY, Jan. 14.—Hon. J. Frank Wheaton, lawyer of 28 Wheat 137th street, has been appointed assistant district attorney of New York county at an annual salary of $3,500. This makes two Colored assistants in the district attorney's office, the other being Paul Pellon, the Assistant, a Howard man, at $5,000. It is a time in the city's history that two Colored men at a time have held this important position. Both are Democrats and were appointed by Judge Swanna, the Democratic office-holder, an assistant attorney. Mr. Wheaton is past grand exalted ruler of the city, the lawyer of national reputation. He is a graduate of Storer College, W. Va., and a post-graduate of the University of Minnesota. He served in the Minnesota legislature from 1899 to 1901, being twice elected in an overwhelming election. Mr. Wheaton was in the last election Democratic nominee for assemblyman in the 21st A. D., but lost to John Clifford Hawkins, also Colored by $3,000 votes. Mr. Hawkins was the candidate supported by the League. It is anticipated that Mr. Wheaton will be as the assistant district attorney in the Heights. Court, which court embraces all the Negro district of upper New York. BANQUET TO MEHARRY ALUMNI ASS'N The McHarry Alumni Association of St. Louis is an organization made up of 52 graduates of McHarry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical College of Nashville, Tennessee, and is distinguished as being the largest local group of its kind in the United States.

The principal officers of the association are Dr. Darrington W. Weaver, president, Dr. Simon F. Phillips, secretary. The St. Louis Argus has been a "split" in the management of Gen. Wood's campaign. The Hon. John T. King, who has been Field Marshall for lo these many months, has been superceded by Col. William Brown for the famous soap made by the company of which he is head, is guaranteed to its 100 per cent pure. "There has been set up a mighty rumbling hither and hence by the action, but like John Brown's body, the cause of Wood is the cause of the stunting the sweet refrain of the latex and most popular song: "Where do We Come In?" The Democrats have boosted the stock of Senator Hiram Johnson, by taking their convention to San Francisco, and focusing attention on the Golden West in a manner never before thought. Incidentally, Senator Polindexter will undoubtedly be it known alo, that he is from the place where Horace Greeley told the young men to go to San Francisco, and focusing attention on them will John Pennings Bryan, who has been in the Public Presidential Eye for so long that since first he made his famous speech of "gold and thorns" the baby who was born that year has been able to vote for two years, and possibly has won a War Cross over in France. — the eternal Bryan, and the distinguished Professor Wilson have probably come to the final parting of ways, the League of Nations issuing this. This will be all of which places our group in the position of the child that was rescued from the food: High and Dry. The Democrats are not worried about us, not even in conscience, apparently. (and they ought to be/in sackcloth and ashes for the shell game they have been playing so long) but they are worried about the threatening new parties that the war and the strike. The "zoll" in the prospective possibilities had the majority of the favored race shaking their bodies and whispering low, for from yellow, to brown, to black, as some view it, is "a little while." They are seeing "red" now, and it does seem that some folks get very much excited when colors are discussed. In the mean time Postmaster General Burleson is working to place himself in a position that will allow him to be the closest scrutiny. All of which means, according to the highest authority: "This is no time for idle dreaming, but direct action within the law."

Citizens' Liberty League Sends Out Open Letter, Movement Is Timely And Has Support Of Prominent Race Leaders Everywhere The following open letter which is being sent to Negro voters' throughout the State by the Citizens' Liberty League, a Republican organization, is asking the Negro community of the Negro Race to secure just political representation in this state: St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 15, 1920. Bear Co-laborator: The election of the next President of the United States will depend upon the electoral vote of the state in which the Negro vote exceeds the Re-legitimate vote and the Negro voters in these states will be entitled in the selection of the National ticket through delegates of their own race in the Republican National Convention. Seventy-five thousand Negro men, exclusive of the women, will have the right to vote in Missouri at the 1920 National Convention. The leaders admit the Republican National ticket will be defeated in this state. Negro voters in Missouri, under these political conditions, are entitled to delegates in the Republican National Convention from Congress districts where they have a majority of the votes to the election of a Negro as one of the four delegates-at-large from this state to the Republican National Convention. These places, however, will not be conceded to Negro voters without an effort on their part.

We urge on behalf of the "Citizens' Liberty League" a Republican organization, that Negroes throughout the state in every county and ward insist upon representation in the mayor may present with substantial support the name of a big, broad gaged Negro, the intellectual equal of any Republican party leader in the state, for delegate at-large to the Republican National Convention at Chicago. We appeal to you as a representative Negro to take steps which in your judgment will insure proper representation from your position. We do the Republican party leaders in your locality will oppose the election of Negro delegates to the number of votes cast by Negroes if this matter is put up to them on the basis of a square deal, and we are sure you will realize the importance of arousing the active interest of Negroes of your section in this movement. We enclose membership card in the "Citizens' Liberty League," an organization having for its purpose full recognition of the business, professional and political privileges to which Negroes are entitled under the constitution, and we will be pleased to accommodate them to the "League." The membership now includes many men and women in St. Louis, and in many sections of Missouri and is growing at a rapid rate each day. We also want to hear from you in regard to political and other conditions in your section from time to time, and we are pleased to prove, in unity there is strength and the day has arrived for a solid front. Awaiting your early reply, we are. Yours for racial uplift. CITIZENS LIBERTY LEAGUE Headquarters: 3127 Pisst St. St. Louis Ernest Patillo, Chairman; Ike Neal, Joe. P. Harris, A. L.

BY Associated Native Press. RALEIGH, N. C. Jan. 14. The whole power of the state will be served to apprehend the lynchers of Powell Green in Franklinton, declared Gov. Bickett. The lynching took place in Gov. Bickett's home county and is the second within the year in that county. Gov. Bickett announced he would offer a reward of $400 for each man apprehended and convicted of participation in the lynching, this being the limit allowed by law. A coroner's jury examined six witnesses in the lynching. It developed however, that the chief of police of Franklinton was holding the Negro who shot R. M. Brown, the white man whose murder led to the lynching. The jury will continue its inquest Tuesday. "The whole state is shocked and humiliated by this horrible outrage on our laws," said the governor. "Such deeds put to open shame our boasted white civilization and make the name of Southern chivalry a byword and a reproach. He has been acquitted upon an infraction for he shot down without cause and without provocation one of the best citizens of Franklinton. This naturally, around great information, but it affords no substance of excuse for a mob taking the law in its own hands. "The Negro, above all others, is entitled to the protection of the law. He has no voice in the making of the law. He has no hand in the making of the law. He never over all the processes of the law are in the hands of the white men." "And yet, this mob, savagely denied to a helpless NEGR prisoner, the right to trial before a white judge and a white fury and receive a white man justice. The said truth is that, the man who did the vicious attack to the barbarians and brutish passions that made the NEGR shoot down his victim without cause. "The members of that mob crucified the elementary principles of justice for which white men have fought and bled and died through a thousand years. They have assaulted the very frade of the state, the frade of the state will be exerted to apprehend them and make them suffer the full penalty of the law." "PARENTS' DAY" ATPOROCOLLEGE It was a day of rejoicing and at the same time, mingled with sorrow. Here and there could be seen the single and double badge of mourning—all during the day, employees were grave in that of parents no longer with them, and in that of employees who reveal the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Malone—to enter directly into the home life of their employees and bring the thing that is missing to help strengthen that life. Now from all of the "Poro Family" will turn to Mr. and Mrs. Malone not alone as their employers but as their big parents, for advice—for help in the success of this life, and for birth was the Christian greatly recorded at Poro College and "Parents Day" has come to stay as a bright occasion nearly at this, the greatest of our institutions.

A Fair Measure Of Justice NEWPORT, N.Y., Oct. 14. One of the most influential daily newspapers in America, The Newport News, comes out in a strong editorial endorsing a definite program of justice. Says The Newport News: "A proposal of a recent article in these columns, touching upon the intensity and the insistence of the Negro problem confronting the nation under postwar conditions, and the imperative of a racial adjustment to secure and make peace and harmony between the blacks and whites, it is gratifying to see a definite plan put forward looking to this very end. This is proposed by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, and is called a "constructive program." It is by far the most comprehensive, most suggestive, and most schematic which has yet come to our attention, and to go far towards a solution of the problem, if wisely applied and rightly accepted by both parties in interest. "Silent features in this program, which can only be barely outlined here include guarantees of security of life and property to all classes, by national state and local governments, supported by public sentiment in the enforcement of existing laws and possible new legislation, economic justice for the Negro, SUPREME COURT SAVES CONVICTED ARKANSAS MEN Stay Of Execution Granted Twelve Men Who Were To Die For Elaine Riots. x LITTLE ROCK, Jan. 14—The twelfth Elaine "conspirators" are assured of an indefinite lease on life. They will not be executed for at least six months and probably not then, for the Supreme Court granted a stay of execution when appeals were filed in all of the cases here. It is the belief in many quarters that because of the trials and prejudice shown by the trial court, the court granted these alleged "conspirators" it is freely predicted that should new hearings be ordered many will be acquitted.

The Government officials undertook to prove that saccharin is harmful and in this effort the Government failed as the jury disagreed. The burden of proof was on the Government officials and they failed to maintain this burden. The court held in plain here since 1915. Immediately upon the disagreement of the jury the Monsanto Chemical Works requested the court to proceed at once with an other trial so as to get the issue settled definitely as soon as possible, but the Government attorneys declined to case again until the next term of court.

BONTON, Mass., Jan. 14—Chandler Dwen, editor of The Messenger, asserted in a speech before the Boston School of Social Science that propaudiia was spread in France by American agents after the United States entered the war, that the Negro soldiers who were joining, there to perform army labor were little more than monks and some even had talk. He said that many among the 1200 Negro officers in the Army were asked by the French people if this was true. "Cling this as an evidence," he declared that the Democratic administration, from President Wilson down, was no friend of the Negro race, the claimed that the Great ambition of the Democrats in Congress was to pass a "Jim Crow" law for Washington Street cars before they went out of power and also to make it illegal for whites and blacks to internment. He also briefly preaching, he said, to their college students, "to bring the term" to a Negro. He protected against Southern plantation nuclei and Negro folk songs, Col. Homer, advisor of President Wilson, was a leader of the Southern bourbons, he declared, and his newspaper, published in Texas, the speaker characterized as most virtuous, indecent, unidentified and ridiculous, in its treatment of the Negroes. The Negro soldiers in the war expected condescension from free citizens as a reward upon their demobilization, and their failure to obtain this, he declared, was one of the causes of the riots. which shall accord him equal opportunities to secure and retain employment, on the same terms as other men, with equal pay for equal work and fair living and working conditions; provision of the sanctity of the home and adequate recreation facilities; equal educational facilities for equal charges; proper educational opportunities; with a 'fair share' of national and local funds; impartial application of the franchise, irrespective of race or color, and closer cooperation between the organization local committees of white citizens for the consideration of matters relating to inter-racial welfare. "Here is a program, though it may be subject to modification in some details, is well calculated to secure to the Negro a fair measure of liberty. It is based on racial understanding and co-operation, which can be the only foundation of race adjustment under a democratic government. It is built upon respect for Negro manhood and womanhood; an absolute essential to the Negro as a man and as a brother, and proper great blim as such. On no other basis the present problem be solved and the two peoples dwell together in harmony." CALDWELL CASE GOES TO U.S. SUPREME COURT CALDWELL CASE GOES TO U.S. SUPREME COURT Judge Grants Writ Three Days Before Date Set For Execution. MONTGOMERY, ALA. JAN. 12.—Information reached the attorney general's department that the records in the case of Herbert Caldwell, Negro soldier, sentenced to death for the murder of Herbert Lincoln, street car employee at Atlanta, Georgia, been completed and forwarded to the supreme court of the United States. When it is acknowledged by the court, Attorney General Smith will make a motion to advance the case on the bullet for immediate consideration. Unrestricted law is permitted, the case probably will not be decided for a year or more. Caldwell's attorneys contend that the military department should not have permitted his trial in the Caldwell circuit court but that he should be acquitted of murder and marital rape. They made a motion in the courts at Birmingham to set aside the death sentence and have the defendant returned to the army for trial. The court declined to grant the re-entry, but issued a probable cause, which will be reviewed by the United States attorney. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer filed a personal brief in support of Caldwell when the case was before the state court, and it is probable that he or a representative will appear in Washington. He contends there is probable evidence that Caldwell had not received a fee. The governor took no action on the appeal and in the federal court hearing Judge Grubb decided the original plea, but issued a writ of probable cause permitting the Negro to appeal to the supreme court. This writ came on days before the date set for execution and it was automatically stayed. WANTS COMMISSION TO STUDY ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF RACE WASHINGTON D. C. Jan. 16.

Jack, a lawyer and politician from Richmond, Va. The commission during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations was head of the Wiley Institute in New York during the last two presidential campaigns. "I simply believe that President Wilson is the salvation of the Colored race—that's why I flopped," he said at the brief presentation. When he called to urge his president has done more for the Colored race in any other president and I believe to the right men to put forward our movement." The object of the commission would be to stimulate and encourage thrift and industry among the Negroes of the country, according to the brief filed today. He urged that there is no different representation of the Negro in the Government's present time. An approximation of $20,000 is sought to meet the expense of the inquiry.

MAY BE NO 1920 BASEBALL LEAGUE OF COLORED CLUBS MAY BE NO 1920 BASEBALL LEAGUE OF COLORED CLUBS Zealous Managers Fail To Get Together On Working Agreement. St. Louis Club Incorporated This Week. The opening of the 1820 Baseball Season is just around the corner and the enthusiasm is so strong among the fans that some of them appear to be able to the beginning around the angle, therefore the rumor is out that there will be no league or association of Colored baseball clubs, as announced at the close of last season. The old chronic inability of the several club owners to get to-gether seems to be the cause. The plan was to form an organization of clubs in Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, with the Cuban Stars and Darton, Ohio. Moroccos as traveling teams. This movement came to a standstill so far as the 1920 season ended unless the agents can adjust their differences over a working agreement, which seems to be a small matter. Another tip is out that C. L. Taylor of Indianapolis, whom some have been trying to eliminate from baseball has the lesse on the American Association grounds, so play there when the league team is on the road alone has upset Hube Foster's plans, well known baseball man informed the Argus this week that several of Foster's star players have deserted his club and will go east; probably to Hilldale Pa., which has a new park controlled exclusively by Negroes.

It is known, however, that Indianapolis and Hilldale have been flirting with Mills on the framing of the new League. Articles of incorporation were filed this week by the St. Louis Giants Fuseball and Amusement Company. Among the stockholders are Louis J. Mills and John H. Haynes, with toddler Charles John H. Haynes, Cobb and Charles Mills with its success. Mills also refused to defame at present, the future plans of the Giants, but said he would probably be ready to do so in a few days and may be ready to make public the names of the player retained and new ones signed.

FIRST-BAPTIST CHURCH—Kinloeh Last Sunday, was a great day within. Those who failed to hear the sermon from our pastor at 11:30 o'clock on 'Victory through the blood' missed a treat. The Holy Spirit tarried with us as we thought the day; and especially in the covenant meeting at 5 p.m. Among the large, earnestly waiting audience. Three persons met with the church.

Parker, delivered one of the most wholesome sermons of the day. He spoke from Acts 3rd chapter 1-10 verses, subject, "The Lord and John领着 a lame man." The reverend was at his best. He so beautifully pictured one truth after another. Some of the important facts dawn out were: "Helping men to help themselves," or "feeding a helping hand." Everyone needs the helping hand when beginning the Christian life, said the pastor. Peter and John gave to the lame man, kindness, which is far more reaching than gifts of gold. The membership is growing. Several united in full membership and enrolled for baptism. The Sunday School has begun its yearly task for 1920. The superintendent, Bro. C. W. Dixon, year by year makes this the banner year for starting all of the classes with their officers fully equipped with order. Sunday's attendance was 235 with scholars and visitors. The B. Y. P. P. was largely attended Sunday. 55 were present. The Ever Loyal triumphed the topic headed by the captain, Mrs. Thompson, attentive.

Fuller, pastor of O'FallonHallist, Church of O'Fallon, Mo., prescheduled a very touching and saintern sermon, subject, "Our God will fight for us." His theme was "Faith."

PAUL BROTHERHOOD This organization was recently launched at St. Paul A. M. E. K. Church and was duly organized with Attorney L. G. Vaughan at president. Last Monday night was the first meeting, and despite the incumbent leader, there was a huge attendance. A well arranged program was rendered and refreshments were made. Those who participated in the program were Messrs E. K. Boyd, Gardner Caven and E. Boies. At the close of Mr. Boyd's address, he met the president, who in a few well words words outlined the work of the Brotherhood, which was far reaching. A H was seen at a place that we had made no mistake in selecting over the organization. It had been announced that the would be admitted, but when the petitionation spirit was at the highest, we would hardly keep the door closed, from the fact that the greater sir was constant in praying. In the autumn committee committee deserve much credit for the way and manner they served these events. The Brotherhood posts the recent Monday night in real moods and if in the wake of the pre-ident that the members keep this in mind and allow nothing to prevent them from being present each meeting - E. Hawkins reports. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, JAN. 16, 1920 CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH 2025 Morgan Street Our church started out this year under most favorable circumstances.

FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH Garrison and Lucas Avenue Last Sunday was a glorious day, Communion services were postponed until the third Sunday; on account of the funeral services of the ex-pastor's wife, Sister Amie Bottiek, which was performed by the Pastor, Rev. A. H. Denaldson, and other preachers. The audience was large and the occasion was a solemn one. The discussion was a dullful memorial and did whatever her hands found to do. It is one loss but hearsen's gain. "The soul-saving campaign is still on and is making great progress." The church contemplates having not less than one hundred souls for baptism by Easter Sunday. "The pastor and church extends a welcome invitation to both saint and sinner to come and help take the world for Christ. The church says, come, the pastor says come and Jesus says come. Early prayer meeting Sunday morning; presaching at 11 a.m., Communion 3 p.m. presaching at 11 p.m. A.W. Denaldson, minister; Bro Chas. W., Wheeler, reporter. MILLION DOLLAR BANK FOR NEGROES STARTED IN N. Y. Dr. Anastasia Yorke Press: NEW YORK. JAN. 7.

Augustus Dumna said that the Nergo ropes put $17,000,000 annually later banks, now they are unable to borrow money for commercial and business purposes from the banks operated by white men. 2008 W. Lewis, the Negro president of the Industrial Savings Bank of Washington on O. Ca, said his institution has 6,002 deposits, with total deps- tions of $122,000 offering the Negroes of Washington an opportunity to lay money with which to compete in business with the whites. By Associated Negro Press. HAMPTON, Va., Jan. 7—At the 57th anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation celebrated in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, by two-thousand Colored citizens, Rev. Dr. Richard P. Browning, First Baptist Church, Colored Norfolk, apples on "Freedom in Progress," Dr. Bowling pald tribute to Jensel S. C. Armstrong, Dr. H. B. Friend and Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton. Dr. Bowling pald, the lessons to be learned from emancipation are held without prejudice for holding privileges, will be gradually lost with presentation for measuring up to opportunities. Opportunity will be withheld by friend and foe alike. We must not cease to agitate. But we must likewise get down to work. The strength of the Colored people lies largely in religion." Dr. Gregg urges the colored citizens to make a greater use of the common schools, to work faithfully every day in the week and go to church on Sunday, to save money, to be courteous and friendly to everybody, and to keep faith in God and fellowmen.

ATLANTA DIVIDED ON MEMORIAL ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 7—Many different views are held by Atlantic City folk on the subject of the Memorial Hall which the citizens of the popular seaport town are planning to erect as a memorial for the Colored soldiers who fought in the great war. A meeting was held recently in the offices of Mayor Bacharach at which various Race men aired their views. The subject of segregation and race discrimination was mentioned by some of the speakers, and some of them expressed the hope that nothing would be done which would set the Colored man apart from his fellows, because the progressive Negro, today, was working for equal opportunity and was opposed to segregation or anything which smacked of it. The benchfront hotel men have offered to give $45,000 toward the project. BALTMORE, Md., Jan. 7—That there must be a uniformed standard of efficiency—for white and colored teachers, with a single salary scale, that a commission should be appointed by the Governor to consider Negro education in Maryland, and that there should be closer co-operation between the State Board of Education and Colored leaders, were some of the suggestions made at a conference between leading Colored men and the State Board of Education. The meeting was held at the Colored Young Men's Christian Association. 5000 MILES OF SERVICE AT 1/4 THE PRICE Guaranteed for 5000 Miles STANDARD QUARANTINE Straight Double Tread Tires are required to demonstrate the performance of Inder Tire may be used on the ground or in the air.

There is at least one metropolitan American city where justice sits on the throne and "good will" is the watchword of progress. That city is Cleveland, in Ohio. From its early history Cleveland has maintained an exalted standard of human fair play, and in the trying and bitter days of unrest and insidious propaganda, has not faltered in its primitive faith. The maintenance of this high standard has by no means been free from difficulties. Determined, and in some instances, ferocious efforts have been made to jar the proud legacies, and destroy the fine ideals, but the "better self" of Cleveland has always finally triumphed. The cause of Cleveland's enviable position may be found by careful study. In the first place, the pioneers of Cleveland were sturdy, honest, high-minded people who believed in human justice. So deep seated have their convictions permeated the spirit of the community that no outside influences have been able to displace them. Cleveland has been fortunate in having an unusually enlightened Colored group that collectively and individually have known the attributes of American privileges, opportunities and justice. Keenly appreciating the advantages as well as the saneness of civic contact, an ever quickened consciousness has always acted in behalf, of human betterment. The blacks have never been afraid of the whites and the whites have never been afraid of the blacks, because they have understood each other as men to men, and as Americans. Hence, they have not only co-operated with each other, but have likewise defended each other with unquestioned sincerity and loyalty when occasion demanded. The results have made Cleveland the Leading City in America in universal co-operative justice. Chicago for instance, has more and by far, larger opportunities than Cleveland, but Chicago does not equal Cleveland in the universal spirit of justice. Cleveland, in this respect, is in a class by itself, and may well be emulated by other metropolitan communities. Cleveland points the way to the practical working out of the problems of Race adjustment. Cleveland is not one hundred per cent perfect, nor have the people of our group, nor the other group, attained one hundred per cent efficiency, but Cleveland has tackled the job with sincerity of purpose, defensiveness, courage, honesty and persistence; Cleveland has shown the world what may really be accomplished under such circumstances, and Cleveland has put at rest by example, many of the alarming theories advanced by certain communities. Cleveland has acted as a community, in all that term implies, and not as groups of factions and Wave, per bottle, by mail, m66, 100- 1000. The station Wavy Soft will grow the base Oustin, $4.00; by mail, $4.10 Only now have the Colored people in Lowell become numerous enough to consider establishing a church of their own. They have been here for a long time, of course—probably for about a century before Lowell was incorporated under its present name, and they have borne themselves honorably from the days of Col. Joseph Varnum's quick-witted body servant and his grandson's famous factotum, Slas Ryal, down to this time. Came from Groton to a house out on Totman Street, Barrillah Low, Colored fiter at Bunker Hill and anesthet of the musical Lewis, remembered by older folk among us. Others from Dixie and elsewhere, have drifted in here of late years, and now they talk of a church building of their own. One suspects the finance committee might get help from white folks in raising the funds for their church by giving an old fashioned Colored folks' concert—one such as the Lewis and the Happy Hazards used to give: A BUSHEL OF BOTTEN BUNK (Chicago, Ill., Herald-Examiner) (The Herald and Examiner is notably fair in dealing with Race adjustment.—A N P. Editor's Note.) Sir—Your editorial "Negroes North and South" offer one fact that is of concern to those interested in constructive action, in the situation that even the optimist must admit is constantly growing more serious. The statement that more Negroes came to Chicago during the period of riots than left it is simply another indication of the defiant attitude which was so clearly and undeniably presented by the editors of the leading Negro publications in the United States crisis. What does the Chicago Negro want? He has industrial and religious and political, equality, but he isn't satisfied. What more does he require? You will find the answer to this question frankly stated in one of the articles above referred to, purporting to have come from the pen of one of our leading Negro Editors, in an issue following closely the disgraceful hostilities in Chicago. The basis of the Colored demand in the North is SOCIAL EQUALITY, and the sooner you men who direct the editorial policy of great journals realize this truth and face it prevails in the courts, where sum the issue squarely, the sooner we will get concreted action, leading to a solution of the problem. There is only one plan under which the Negro as a race can live and thrive and improve himself, and that is the plan of a strict segregation. Signed .....H. L. M. Ft. Wayne, Ind. THE GROWING BITTERNESS (Holycoke, Mass, Transparent.) The Waterboy American calls attention and it is most timely too, to the groving bitterness of the Colored people for the whites. While the country is wrestling with its Bolshevik problems it is overlooking the measure of rare prejudice that is striking abroad. METHODISTS WILL BUILD $2,000,000 SCHOOL IN CHICAGO by Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Jan. 7. A new departure in educational advancement is about to be launched in Chicago, when one of the largest educational institutions for the Race in the country will be established here. The School will be known as the Morton Gulver Hartzell Social Center, and the initial cutoff will be $2,000. It is expected that within a short time more than $2,000 will be spent on the institution. The School will be established on the sight of the Old Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church. The School will be backed by funds from the great Methodist Episcopal Church, raised in the centennial movement. The School is the patron of southern migration, and large educational opportunities.

SOCIETY Mrs. Beatrice Shaw, 1915 Newstead Avenue returned home, Wednesday, Dec. 7, from Washington, D.C., where she reports having a spent a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Her trip was occasioned by the marriage of Miss Rena B. Burrell of Washington, D.C. and Attr. Abouzel O. Tousil of Mound City, Ill., on September 8, at St. Charles, Mo., while the two were visiting in St. Louis, which on the request of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Louis Burrell, the parents of the bride, Mrs. Shaw had she honor and pleasure of announcing on Saturday, Dec. 27, to a party of eminent friends of the family. The announcement disclosed a status which had been anticipated by all Washington society but in the meantime, was quite surprising to all who attended. In appreciation of Mrs. Shaw's going to Washington, Mrs. Alonzo E. Tandall, had arranged engagements of various entertainments extending over her entire stay in the Capital City, Mrs. and Mrs. Joseph Walker, Dr. and Mrs. Emore Wiggins and Miss Cliffe G. Hill entertained at a 3 o'clock dinner. Mrs. Eva Meyer entertained at New Year breakfast, while Miss Florence Young, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jackson and Mr. and Mrs. Harris Marshall most graciously entertained with a Dansante supper. Mr. G. Mansfield Brooks entertained with a midnight supper at the Whitelaw Hotel after theatre was attended, and the morals and lessons of the widely known drama "The Brute," were witnessed. Mr. and Mrs. Walker Belle entertained in Ancestin, E.C. at luncheon. Through the courtesy of Mr. Stephen Oliver Plummer, it was the pleasure of Mrs. Shaw to attend Washington's most unique and spectacular rutile social event, which was the Lacinq Dansante at the Whiteclaw Hotel. The hospitality of Mr. William Grays occasioned Mrs. Shaw, to be the special guest at the Pan American dance, along with Atty. and Mrs. Tansil. Many other notable happenings occurred during Mrs. Shaw's visit, which only show that all Washington was awake and society in its bloom during the holiday season and that unlimited hospitality was shown her beyond the possibility of forget, for which she hereby acknowledges her appreciation.

Union Electric's Securities Department will offer it for resale, at any time, at its true value, and at no expense to the stockholder. Newspaper market page quotations purporting to show that Union Electric preferred is on the market at 95 "bid" and 100 or 101 "nasked" are incorrect and misleading. This stock is sold nowhere but in Union Electric's offices. It is sold to none but Union Electric's customers and members of their families. Its price is $100 a share for cash, $102 a share on a ten-payment plan, under which the buyer draws 5 per cent interest on installment payments. The price is the same to all buyers, whether they take one share or a thousand. Union Electric, selling its stock directly to its customers in this way, gets new capital for State-approved plant extensions at low cost, and enables thousands of its customers to enjoy the 7 per cent dividends earned by the new capital investment. The owners of Union Electric's common stock are content with a moderate yearly dividend, taken AFTER our customer-stockholders have got their 7 per cent dividends on the preferred stock. Union Electric's yearly dividend earnings, for preferred and common stocks, are at the rate of FIVE TIMES the $210,000 a year needed to pay 7 per cent dividends on $3,000,000 of preferred stock, which includes this $1,000,000 issue now on sale. Every dollar of Union Electric's outstanding bonds, notes and stocks has more than a dollar's worth of income producing property back of it. The business is growing rapidly. It is as solid and permanent as the Greater St. Louis industrial district for which it supplies electric light, heat and power. Union Electric preferred is, therefore, a thoroughly safe income security. The free service of our Securities Department, bringing buyer and seller together, makes it easily marketable at its true value. IF YOUR SAVINGS AVAILABLE FOR INVESTMENT ARE EARNING LESS THAN 7 PER CENT, you cannot do better than to put them into shares of this stock. If you own securities which are not earning anything, it would pay you to sell them and put the money into this safe and sure 7 per cent dividend-payer SALES OFFICES: ROOM 201 Union Electric Building, 12th and Locust Streets, St. Louis, and Union Electric's offices in Franklin, Jefferson, Perry, St. Charles and St. Louis Counties.

Brown Pomade AMERICAN LEGION The Ambassador Negro Press BOSTON Mass., Jan. 7.—The American Legion was recommended as the most potent influence for justice the Crown can tie to, by Col. Charles Young, ranking Colored officer n the United States Army, in an address before n a Colored "nudience" that called Tremont Temple. Col. Young was the main speaker at the open session of the Omega Bai Phil fraternity called to discuss the aspirations of the Race and the duties of the Race to America. While the other speakers urged that Colored people assert their rights of citizenship and abandon reactionary leaders, Col. Young found his theme, America's expectations. From the Negro. "The black quote, which we as a group must add to American life, will include the spiritual and cultural things," he said. While we want every privilege any race has, we cannot get along without the white man. There is enough Americanism in all the races in the country to keep America in tact. "I would not have you cringe before any man. But you must have no more bloodshed, no more race riots. No Negro must shed any blood not demanded in the defense of his family and of his citizenship. Human life is sacred. There is nothing in anarchy for the Negro." The ballot and the National Association of the Colored People, Col. Young listed after the American Legion as forces by which the Race would achieve full equality in America. R. G. Robinson made the opening remarks, in which he spoke of the ideals inculcated by the fraternity, the oldest Colored Greek letter fraternity in Boston. He declared that by unity in the Race, against which white propaganda has been directed"—Colored people could be of greatest value to the country. Lieut. Osweola McCain of the 15th New York Infantry, president of the League for Democracy in New York, sounded a radical note that received enthusiastic applause. "The Negro has his greatest work to do in the political field" he said. "And his program must be a radical one. The Negro's cause lies with labor, for the same influence that labor seeks to rid itself of oppress the Negro. We would not tear down the Constitution. It is my dearest dream that all the provisions of the Constitution may become effective. In the past 30 year under Republican direction, the Negro has lost all he gained in the first 20 years after the Civil War. "The Republican Party must fight for a square deal for 14,000,000 loyal Americans or the Negro vote will go to its opponents. The Republicans under the guise of Lincoln's principles, can no longer win the Negro vote. "It must be part of our program for 1920, to seat a black man in Congress, for no white man, no matter how fair, can interpret the feelings of the black man. We must make another attempt through the party of Lincoln. We cannot afford to try the Socialist party, for the Negro must tie to a winning party. "There must come a revolution in the Negro church and in Negro educational leadership, for we cannot afford to have our thoughts moulded by leaders in the control of rich philanthropists." $100 IN PRIZES TO COLORED STUDENTS COLORED STUDENTS By Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, announces an offer of $100 in prizes for the beat essay by a student at a colored institution of learning on the subject "The Economic Element in Lynching and Mob Violence."

Money would be no object, for above all things you want to be attractive, to look your best. A clear, smooth skin and a radiant complexion are, therefore, of the greatest importance to you. Long ago realizing the need of some preparation that would enable ambitious people to make themselves more attractive, skin specialists and chemists were put to work to perfect a compound that people could use at home to brighten their complexion. After many tests and experiments, extending over a period of years, the Black and White Beauty Treatment was offered the public. This home treatment consists of Black and White Ointment and Black and White Soap. The Ointment is mixed and applied just before bedtime and washed off the next morning. It is both simple and safe to use and just as delightful as the many face creams and lotions.

Not that he would be dead, but he considers the life. He could see that if those lives in the late great struggle mothers, mothers, sisters and brothers died, that would be a living that would live forever. That inspired the Negro soldier that war was not a monument after their brethren in the South, a cheek hand for the mobs' torch and name the spirit of those who best in Peace, with the conscious use than good and faithful service, apaches, friends of our race, wad, turn their eyes to the living are mentioned, then we will be America, the lines are being drawn wrong, honesty and dishonesty and reaction.

Of our race, who are desirous of to the living and do some of when we will believe that they are More than ever before in America, the lines are being drawn firm and fast between right and wrong, honesty and dishonesty and the forces of construction and reaction. The day of the salve-spreader and the fellow who could always pour oil on the troubled waters by winking at some wrong has passed. It is no longer possible for a man to be neither hot nor cold. These are the days of decision; the days of deciding whiff phase of the question is right and which is wrong...and getting on the side which one favors, and standing up and being counted. If the above principles are true with reference to the whole of the American people, they are doubly true with reference to the Negroes. He is making the most important fight in the race's history for his rights as an American citizen. In such a crisis, there is no middle ground. One must either come out flat-footedly for those rights, or be counted with the forces against them. The people have little patience with the compromiser, the apologist or pal- In recent weeks, two political organizations among Negroes have published their principles—the things for which they stand—in the columns of the Argus, and each is bidding for the support of Negroes on what they term their platforms. It is well before deciding, to scrutinize carefully each of these platforms to see what these organizations stand for and to weigh their attitudes in the light of the principles first announced. The Missouri Republican League Club wants a Negro delegate at large from Missouri; a Negro delegate from the 12th Congressional District; Negro judges and clerks in the precincts where Negroes are in majority; Negro firemen and Negro policemen; Negro representation in all party councils. These propositions are paralleled by similar propositions from the Citizens' Liberty League, but each organization goes beyond these principles which they have in common and therein lies the difference between them. The question we ask is, "Which represents the Negroes?" Which will he follow? Let us-examine. The Liberty League asks for the nomination and election of a Negro from the 12th Congressional District; for Negro candidates for the State Legislature from the 5th and 6th Districts; for a member of the Board of Aldermen from the 17th Ward; for City Committeemen in wards where the Negro vote is in majority; for negroes for jury service on all juries. The Republican League Club desires the nomination and election of L. C. Dyer for Congressman from the 12th District. It desires Negroes on all juries, where their rights are to be adjudicated, and Negro representation in appointive offices in proportion to their voting strength, ability and qualifications. It seems to us that the issues are clean-out between the two organizations. The question is, what do the Negroes think? Do Negroes desire to serve on juries only when their rights are at stake? Or do they desire to exercise the rights of American citizens to be called for jury service irrespective of whose rights are to be determined? It is a known fact that an honest, intelligent Negro in Congress at this particular time can do more good in obtaining a square deal for Negroes than all the white men that are elected from districts where Negroes are in majority. Which do Negroes want? Again, those who know anything at all about the game of practical politics; know that the controlling factor in determining who is to be elected to office in St. Louis is the Committeemen from the various wards. They also control the jobs for appointment. In the 17th ward, more than 80 per cent of the Republican party vote is Negro. Is it right that a white man should be elected committeeman to represent the party in that ward? The same thing is true with a smaller percentage of voting strength in other wards of the city. The question is, WHAT DO THE NEGROES WANT? Which organization represents his views? Which is the more likely to get for him the things he desires and deserves? Only the future will tell. It is impossible to be neutral on this proposition; the lines are clearly drawn between the two organizations. MR. NEGRO VOTER. WHICH SUITS YOU? BUILDING A MONUMENT TO THE RACE. Speaking of the proposed monument to the Negro soldiers who took part in the late great world's war, Colonel Young, just before his departure to South America recently, stated that it was not monuments that the race wanted, but full citizenship. The Colonel is right. Not that he would withhold one whit of honor due the dead, but he considers the living as those that need a greater service. He could see that if those of our race who have given their lives in the late great struggle for Democracy" could see their fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers enjoying the thing for which they died, that would be a living monument to the departed dead that would live forever. The thing that inspired the Negro soldier to dare and die so foolily in the great war was not a monument after his death. Vofes for a million of their brethren in the South, a check on the lynchers' rope, a restraining hand for the mobs' torch and full citizenship for the race, would cause the spirit of those who have made so great a sacrifice, to Rest in Peace, with the consciousness of that approbation. "well done then, good and faithful servants." If those law-makers, friends of our race, who are desirous of honoring the dead, turn their eyes to the living and do some of those things above mentioned, then we will believe that they are really sincere.

Small payments down; balance easy monthly terms. Good productive land well suited for poultry, vegetables, fruits and general crops of all kinds.
