Members Admit That Sufferings Of Race At Hands Of Lawless Mobs, Is National Disgrace And Say, "The Only Question With Us Is, How To Deal With Them" ENTER SCHMOLL EXIT McKELVEY Building Commissioner Pulls His Hat Out Of The Sheriff Ring When The Bigger Man Speaks.—Voters Are Dissapointed; Wanted To Hand Him A "Token." McKelvey Will Fight To Retain Committeeship of The Twenty-third Ward; $8,000 Job Depends Upon It—Colored Voters Dissatisfied. May Run Colored Candidate Against Him. A little comedy-drama was staged at Louis' political circles during the last week. The co-stars were two aspirants for the office of sheriff. There was but one act and one scene. The curtain rose on Jan. N. McKelvey, holding the center of the stage, with his "hat in the ring," and a bee "buzin' in his head. Enter Schmoll; Exit James McKelvey. Curtain. and he wants her to have a servant while working. Bosses The Janitors There are about seventy city juniors who come under McKelvey's supervision. Their positions are provided by the charter, but he has the au-thoffy to hire or discharge to suit his own political needs. McKelvey has not formally announced his candidacy for Sheriff, therefore he will be permitted to retire within the limit of his own sphere, appointative positions. He has been fortunate in his political career. He has succeeded in attaining the height of the charter's offering without the voter's assistance. He has not had to face the ballot box since 1914, when a poor restaurant keeper attempted to wrest the Twenty-third ward Committee help him. Since that time he has been riding into the committee on one ballot. The rotters in his ward have had no say, because any prospective opponent has been quickly taken care of. (2) Voters Disappointed Not only Twenty-third ward voters, but Republicans from all over the city were cheerfully looking forward to an opportunity to declare themselves McKelvey, but Mr. Schmull injected his fatal drama into the comedy and spoiled the game. The Colored voters were especially anxious to hand McKelvey a token of their feelings. Of all the men higher up in Republican ranks here, he is looked upon as being the most deceptive. His department, "Public Safety," is one of the largest and most important in the municipal government. It controls the issuing of permits for all building construction, the constant inspection of all places, where two or more persons assemble; the safety of billboards, signs, boilers and elevators; the complete supervision over the Fire department; and ret. he has not a Colored clerk under his charge. Dodged Segregation Only once did a race man succeed in lifting the barrier to McKelvey's department, and that was in 1916, after the Segregation ordinances were passed and the responsibility of defining which were "white and black blocks" fell upon the Building Commissioner, Mr McKelvey made a strategic move and "passed, the buck" to a Colored man of his ward, who stood high on the Efficiency Board's eligible list. An early decision by Judge Dyer, granting a temporary injunction against Segregation, left McKelvey in hot water. He did not -want a Negro in his office. However, the Committeeman's election, the State and National contest and the City Mayority election were to soon follow and it would not do to incur the will of the big Colored vote, so he endured his lone Colored clerk until these stepping stones to his own self-belief had been passed. Soon after McKelvey received the $8,000 a year "plum" from Mayor Kler he informed his undesired clerk that, "owing to a shortage of funds in this division, I will be compelled to dispense with your services for an indefinite period." The Colored man was the only one of 65 high salaried clerks for whom the appropriation did not provide. Yet, it was a short time until Mr. McKelvey appointed his 19 year old son to a clerkship at a higher salary. Another complaint, which is much alike of among the Negroes Is. Mr. McKelvey went out of his way to humiliate a Colored maid at the Courtroom, (she does not wish her name continued). The maid's duties are to look after the comforts of ladies who are in attendance at the court, etc. It appeared, one day recently, that a woman fainted in one of the courtrooms and she could not be found. The woman fainted the head junior some minutes and when the maid returned he she had been on an errand for the lady clerks in Mr. Goldin's office. The head junior informs of the incident, where she is mutilated and advised her: It was duty to look after the welfare of public and not the clerks in the court court office. This information is reached the clerks and Mr. McKelvy's daughter happened to be one them. It is supposed she told her that might, for the next morning, Mr. McKelvey went down early to courtroom and gave the maid a clear out: "took her in before the clerks, tried to handle her, and that he that (Mr. McKelvey) was and she should take order from the clerks,igung of the way of the public. This of course, because the daughter was 'there' The St. Louis Argus and he wants her to have a servant while working. **Bosses The Janitors** There are about seventy city janitors who come under McKelvey's supervision. Their positions are provided by the charter, but he has the authority to hire or discharge to suit his own political needs. **Colored Man For Committee** Mr. McKelvey will now settle down to his fight to retain the Committeeship of the Twenty-third can be in line for re-appointment to the $8,000 a year position as Commissioner of Public Safety. One of the precepts in his ward is all Colored, another is nearly so, one is majority Colored and another bliss fare to be the same before the primary in August, yet in only one of the four has be selected Colored election officials. Whether he will have white opposition is not known at this early date, but he is a determined movement on hand to name a Colored man for Committeeman so the voters of the Twenty-third ward may get a chance to declare themselves. ATTORNEYS WIN ANOTHER WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS St. Louis Court Of Appeals Issues Order In Case Of Colored Man Wanted By Georgia Officials. Judge Reynolds, of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, issued a writ of habeas corpus last Tuesday afternoon on the application of Maggie Birdson, wife of Gold Birdson, who is being held by the police authorities of the City of St. Louis for the authorities of Lee County, Georgia, charged with being a fugitive from justice. The case is still pending by the Court of Appeals. In the meanwhile, Birdson has been admitted to ball. It appears that Birdson had some trouble in Lee County, Ga., about four years ago and that some time thereafter he left the State of Georgia and moved to the State of Tennessee, and more than a year ago came to St. Louis, where he has lived ever since. It is also stated that the authorities of Georgia have known of his whereabouts during all of this period, and that he has visited the State of Georgia and Lee County since the time he was charged with committing the offence. Just why they desire his arrest and return to Georgia after this long lapse of time is not made plain. It is thought by some that the case is one in a number due to a plan on foot, in the South to bring Negroes back there for labor purposes, and in an effort to discourage others in leaving those parts. Birdsew is represented by attorneys Vaughn and Garner. The same firm represents Clarence Davis in a similar proceeding. According to the attorneys, one of the chief questions involved in these cases is the custom of the Police Department to have these men sign agreements, termed waivers, do return South without the necessary steps to get a warrant of rendition from the Governor of Missouri. The attorneys will attack this proposition in these cases, and it is said the Police Department, through the City Counselor's office, is fighting the point bitterly, as a working against them would overturn a custom of more than 15 years. The outcome of these cases is being watched with interest on all sides. The complication run into these cases in regard to the waiver is a common one where Negroes are involved, according to the attorneys. They state that Negroes almost invariably sage away their rights, or make some statement, or do some act after being arrested but for which, in many instances, they would be discharged. LATEN — Judge Garrehe maintained the motion to quash the return to the writ. Thursday morning, and ordered the prisoner discharged.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-More than 1,000 members and guests attended the annual 'poosum supper of the Negro Central Democratic organization of Kansas City and Jackson county at the Lyric hall, 1731 Lydia avenue, Tuesday night, January 8. The hall was decorated with the national colors and with several of the speakers talking Americanism and democracy it was a most patriotic meeting, aside from its political importance. Dr. W. J. Tomkina, former superintendent of the old city hospital, was chairman of the meeting. Among the prominent guests spoke were E. M. Harber, Judge Posterley, Judge J. E. Fleming, J. J. Ranson, J. B. Shannon, W. E. Scannell, B. L. Hart, Dr. E. H. Bullock, W. P. Motley and Edward Baker. The members of the organization who delivered addresses were A. V. Mulholland, O. G. Brooks, W. H. Maupin, Folix H. Payne, John W. Bailley and Rev. A. B. Harris. Police Bulletin Preises Affair. The Sunday (Police) Bulletin; in a lengthy article on the feast, has this to say, in part: "The gathering was a revelation in many ways and one that none present would cared to have missed. With the Negro citizenship of the city and the cordial relations entertained with the whites race upon an enduring foundation, Kansas City may well congratulate itself upon the fact that its Negro cityship contains leaves of such spacious nature as will eventually cause the race to rise to the highest point of development possible for a free people. COLORED WOMEN FORM DEMOCRATIC CLUB IN ST. LOUIS About fifty Colored women met in St. Louis last Sunday and organized an auxiliary to the Associated Colored Democratic Ward Club. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Lucille Wilbern, president; Mrs. Genvieve Mills, vice-president; Mrs. Parsetta Callaway, secretary; Mrs. Irene White stone, recording secretary; Mrs. Annie Branch, treasurer, and Mrs. Esale Lawry, chairman of the Executive Committee. It is stated that more than a hundred have signed membership blanks. NEW INSURANCE COMPANY BEING ORGANIZED HERE Ten Thousand Dollar Project, Financed By Colored Men Will Be Called Douglas Life Ins. Co. The Douglas Life Insurance Company, a new project with a capitalization of $10,000, financed entirely by Colored men, in being organized in St. Louis. The plan of insurance will be sick, accident and life. The company will be operated under the most rigid and stringent laws of Missouri, so as to make it positively safe and give perfect protection to policyholders. The promoters are J. M. Well, who has had considerable experience in the insurance business; Wm. H. Mosby, a successful drugstriker for many years and others prominent in business and professional affairs. Mr. Well makes the announcement that Charles G. Revelle, former Commissioner of Insurance in Missouri, former Judge of the Supreme Court, and at present specializing in insurance corporation law, has been employed to go through with the company to its final organization. Information is also given out that more than 70 per cent of the stock has already been subscribed for; although the development of the plans has been carried on in a quiet manner. FRENCH TO GIVE A MEMORIAL DIPLOMA TO RELATIVES OF DEAD RELATIVES OF DEAD The French High Commission, at the direction of the French Government, has prepared engraved certificates which are being made ready for presentation under the auspices of the American Legion with the assistance of the United Army, to the nearest relative of each soldier, sailor or marine who died during the Great War. To this end the National Commander of the American Legion has made arrangements with the Adjutant General of the army regarding the distribution of these certificates, and has formulated the following: HEARINGHELD ON LYNCHINGS Department Of Justice Submits Report Claiming That The Colored People Are Being Used By The I. W. Charge Is Disproved. Says 12,000,000 Human Beings Are Being Fushed To The Limit Of Endurance Senator Curtis Said Congress Can And Should Act. WASHINGTON, District of Columbia.—A special sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings January 14 to determine whether the committee had jurisdiction in the matter of ordering a full investigation of race riots and lynchings in the United States under the resolution introduced by Charles Curtis (R.) Senator from Kansas. William P. Dillingham (R.), Senator from Vermont, presided and declared himself in full sympathy with the Negroes. Their suffering at the hands of lawless mobs was a national disgrace; he asserted, "but the only question with us is how to deal with it." Senator Curtis, in setting forth the wrongs of the Negroes and their insistence upon protection and redress at the hands of Congress, read from the reports of an investigation made by the Department of Justice, dealing largely with the alleged incitement of Negroes to rioting and disorder by organizers and speakers' from the I. W. W. Need of Investigation. The propaganda of this organization extended from New York to Philadelphia and Chicago and Omaha, and as far south as Louisiana. "The Negro is poor material for Socialism, but an excellent tool for the radical." it was stated. "The program is so great and the states have so neglected their duty that Congress can and should make an investigation." Senator Curtis concluded. Members of various Negro organizations who spoke endeavored to make light of the reports that any considerable number of Negroes were being used by the I. W. W. or other radical bodies. "The I. W. W. does not scratch the surface," asserted Archibald Dr. Grimke, "but 12,000,000 human beings are being pushed to the limit of endurance. You are dealing with inflammatory material." He added dramatically: "We come here with our great wrongs and you do not care, you say you cannot do anything." Senator Dillingham interrupted him to say that they did care and that they were deeply concerned with finding a way to do something to put an end to such a situation. He hoped that some of the men who had come there to represent the Negroes would be able to make helpful proposals. Two Proposals Made: The Rev. J. G. Robinson, a Methodist preacher, paid tribute to Senator Dillingham and Senator Curtis and believed he could tell them two things which they could do to help the present intolerable situation. The first was to pass legislation and leave it to the Supreme Court to decide whether they had the right to do it, and the other was to take steps to insure general suffrage in the southern states where it did not exist. He asserted that because of a letter which he wrote to the President on July 26, 1919, he had been compelled to leave his home. In this letter he had said, "Before the Negroes will again submit to many of the injustices which we have suffered, the white man will have to kill more of them than the combined soldiers that were slain in the great world war." This letter raised a storm of indignant protest throughout the country and Mr. Robinson received so many threatening letters that he left the South. U. S. Bratton, formerly assistant United States Attorney, who got into trouble by taking charge of cases for Negroes in Arkansas, said that his son, who was present had been chained between two Negroes and had a narrow escape from lynching. Thomas J. Walsh (D.), Senator from Montana, asked the witness what action Congress was authorized to take if the State failed to do its duty. Mr. Bratton answered the question indirectly by saying that peonage was being practiced in Arkansas and that in the recent trouble in that State an investigation was not permitted. cases will be made on Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22nd, 1920. In all cities and towns where there is a post of the American Legion this testimonial of appreciation from the French Government will be presented, whenever possible, through such local American Legion post. b.

A joint conference of white and Negro Republican leaders to discuss the demands of St. Louis Negro Republicans that they be given one delegate at large to the national convention, a candidate for congress and other candidates of their own race in districts where they are in the majority, will be called by City Chairman Schmoll for an early date. The conference will be held at Republican City Committee headquarters in the Odd Fellows Building. Schmoll consented to call the conference after he had been visited by A.W. Lloyd, president of the Citizens' Liberty League, and its executive committee. The committee made known its political demands and intimated that unless these were granted the Negro voters either would stay away from the polls or put up their own candidates. The Negroes are in the majority in the twelfth district, represented by Congressman Dyer, and in numerous other political divisions of the city and state. There are 75,000 Negro votes in Missouri and a defection of these votes would mean Republican defeat at the polls next fall, party leaders assert.

K. ROBINSON? WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH C. K. ROBINSON? With a deep sense of our duty as a newspaper, do we apologize to our readers for deviating from our long established rule, and will here turn our attention for a few moments to C. K. Robinson, editor of the Independent Clarion, because he insists that the only way to run a newspaper is to fight and attack each other, and everybody else who does not agree with us. We have been inclined to pass his little "petty" attacks upon us unnoticed until last week, when under the caption, "Argus Displays Its Unfairness Again," the editor of the Clarion charges that we had been unfair by publishing the accounts of two suits that were filed against him in the Circuit Court here the previous week. One suit was for libel, and the other for a receiver to be appointed to take charge of his printing and newspaper business. We only ask the public to read our published account and judge for themselves as to our fairness. The editor of the Clarion boasts that since he had previously given us a "drubling" through his paper we had promised to be fair to him in the future. We have always been fair to C. K. Robinson, and expect to be so in the future. He does not have to give us a "drubling" to make us be fair to him. We did go to C. K. Robinson after he had used up nearly a half page in his paper attacking us, and suggested that we, as newspaper men, owed it to the public to give the news and that the public was not interested in our personal affairs. And also told him that the Argus could not afford to use his space in attacking members of the race, but that we were consecrated to a constructive program for the benefit of the race, and suggested that would be a good policy for the Clarion. We thought so then and think so now. But the trouble with C. K. Robinson is, he is losing ground with his fellow men by his vaccinating policy. He is today Dr. Leekyl, and tomorrow he is Mr. Hyde. He wants to get in politics, but he doesn't know how. He wants to get into certain society, but the doors are closed against him. So, he is making a noise and attacking the progressive members of the race trying to attract attention to himself. C. K. Robinson thinks that no others of the race have any right to enter the printing business; if they do, they are his enemies. We suppose that is why he has devoted so much of his time in trying to persuade the Argus employees to come with him, not on the promise of higher salaries, but on the promise of a donation of one third interest in his business. But this council was received like the advice of the fox to his prey, turned down as too good to be true, and that C. K. Robinson's past reputation augured too strong against his sincerity. The above are some of the reasons why Mr. Robinson is always attacking somebody. We again apologize to our readers for using this space in explaining our position, when we should be using it in giving real news along constructive lines, but we feel that if Mr. Robinson is wise, and will change his ways, we shall have done some good, after all. Excellent Program Prepare Memorial Church Monday Auxiliary Will Cooperate. Will Be Fully Explained. THE ADMISSION Plans have been completed for a big mass meeting of the Citizens' Liberty League, to be held Monday night, Jan. 26th, at Union Memorial Church, Leffingwell and Pine. This will be the first public meeting held by the League since its organization, nearly two months ago. The Ladies' Auxiliary is co-operating with the men in their efforts to organize every Negro voter in the city, and the public will be given an opportunity to hear the object of the League fully explained. Notices have been sent to the pastors of the city to urge the members of their congregation to come out Monday night to hear the workings of the League. WHAT IS THE WITH C.

A has taken over the building at the southeast, corner of Garrison and Washington, to be occupied as an annex with dormitory and cafeteria. The following information on the movement has just been issued: Are you one of the many women who dread the idea of the average rooming house? Better still, have you any knowledge of the conditions which exist in most of these places? This is the situation, in nine cases out of ten, which has presented itself to an interested investigator. A girl may secure a room all the way from 1.75 to $4.00 per week, according to the number of occupants. This price seldom includes light, heat, bedding or laundry privileges. There are no parlors in most instances, which means that a girl has no place to entertain young men visitors. Where there are parlors, the proper supervision is doubtful. Has it ever occurred to you just how many of our girls and women ranging in age from 16 to 35 spend most of their home hours in such an atmosphere? d. For Gathering At Union Night, Jan. 26.— Women's — Objects Of The League N WILL, BE FREE A. W. Lloyd, the president, stated that after Monday night meetings would be held in different churches throughout the city as the pastors are with the people in the movement. At their regular weekly meeting during the week, the leaders were quite jubilant over the attendance, which is growing by "leaps and bounds." Plans have been completed to begin active work in the state in every district where there are any appreciable number of Negroes. Among the speakers will be Dr. Charles H. Phillips, Jr., Rev. B. F. Abbott, Mrs. F. G. McDonald, Miss Pearl Perdue and Atty Homer G. Phillips. MATTER K. ROBINSON? very as a newspaper, do we apologize from our long established rule, and a few moments to C. K.

This dormitory will accommodate 70 women, allowing no more than two occupants to a room. Single rooms rent for $13.00 per month. Double rooms, which in every case contain two single beds, rent for $8.00 per month. This price includes a whole some atmosphere, steam heat, plenty of hot water, excellent laundry facilities and the use of a cheerful parlor where friends, male and female, may be entertained in proper environment. The last feature is a most important one in the lives of women and growing girls. A cafeteria in the building, where one may control her own board bill, expending much or little, according to the individual taste, will be an added attraction. The contentment and peace of mind that rises from the consciousness of being well sheltered and properly protected cannot help, but privilege the minds of those who, living in a large city such as St. Louis, without home connections, are fortunate enough to enjoy the privileges of such a home-like institution.

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH 2624, Pailn- Street Sunday was, a great day in Zion. The morning prayer meeting was highly spiritual. At 11 o'clock the fact was polly demonstrated that we had one of the ablest ministers of our denomination as pastor. He spoke on the subject, "Sleeping in a storm," text, from Jonathan I. S. The minister reviewed the religious and moral condition of the world, and said the world was now in a storm, and that the inactive Christian was responsible for this condition.

The subject was 'Religion, the One Thing Needful, Rev Stoner, presiding elder of the Princeen District, is directing a two weeks' revival at Lane Tabernacle which will close, this Friday night. All of Rev Stoner's sermons were very beautiful, but the Sunday morning message seemed to capture the prize.

TWO SENATORS By Jesse Dukes, Janitor at the Y. W. C. A. 1721. Washington Avenue, and Author of "Our Boys and Black Heroes." Said a Southern senator to Congress, one quite a few folks well know; If I had my way with darkies, From dbs country they would go. Your fellows are always talking. Don't the problems of that race; Just follow a Southern's plan, Keep a darkey in his place. There was but just one darkey. Who ever appealed to me; But now he's gone forever; He was old Booker T. He was a smart old fellow. As a leader of his race; He knew that Southern sentiment, And always kept his place. But now we have new darklees, Quite different from the rest; Who cry for social rights, After standing the battles' test. To ride in cars by darklees, That I consider a crime; Just I think that bill's for me, I'll fight it every time. Cried a Northen senator gentleman, We've just a word to say; About the Negro problem, That faces us all today. When the government called for soldiers, To fight the Kaiser's band, Did it name any race or color? No, it simply said, a man. Three hundred and fifty thousand, Black Americans fought in France; Saved Old Glory; won the victory. Don't you think they're due a chance? When the Germans had our allies, And their generals figuring deep; How to break her strongest line, Do you know who made that creep? These same boys you call darkies. Some from old Dixie Land; Where you mob, burn and lynch, Where a Negro's never a man. When time has changed us all, And mobs shall cease to be; Then we call lift our heads and say: "Sweet Land of Liberty." NEW PRESBYTERIAN DEPOSITORY STARTED FOR NEGROES ONLY Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 21. "By Negroes and for Negroes" is the slogan of the new depository of the Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, which will open in Atlanta, Ga., February 1. This depository headed by a Negro and having all Negro assistants, will be one of the first of its kind in the South. For the uninflicted, it may be explained that a depository corresponds to a branch book agency in handling the publications of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work and also the many church appliances for which there is constant demand. But the aim is to make the Atlanta depository different, from any of those now existing, by making its chief purpose not only to help cultivate business relation with the Colored constituentity of the Presbyterian Church, but also to become a vital center of missionary activity for the Negroes in the church and out. The new depository, and missionary work center will open at 290 Auburn Avepe, with the Rev. A. B. McCoy, D. P., in charge, acting manager. At present, Dr. McCoy is Negro District Superintendent for the Southern section of the Board of Publication and Sabbath School work of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, and probably for the time will continue in that capacity, discharging his new duties as well.

LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, JAN. 23, 1920 UNION ELECTRIC PROTECTS ITS INVESTORS No owner of Union Electric preferred stock need pay a broker a commission for selling it. 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 "asked" 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 HMES 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.

Union Electric Light & Power Company 12th and Locust streets, SAYS STAY IN SOUTH AND BUY LAND By Associated, Negro Press FRANKLIN, Va. Jan. 21.—Rev. A. B. Vincent, a well known preacher of Eichleigh and editor of the Searchlight, delivered the Emancipation Day address here to the Colored people of Southampton County. The celebration included a parade, addresses by a number of local Colored people of note in addition to that of the Raleigh preacher and the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. Rev. Vincent, in his annual address, reviewed the progress of the Negro since emancipation, enumerating his great opportunity and stressing the prosperity of the Negro farmer. He directed attention to the fact that there was, on the stage at the time he was speaking a Colored farmer, who had sold six thousand dollars worth of peanuts the past Fall, J. W. Ricks of courtland, Va. He also cited the case of R. J. Beverity of Wadesboro, N. C. who had recently paid $7,500 for a farm and who had bought $10,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, J. W. Bennett of Lilesville, N. C. he said, the past year had raised one hundred bales of cotton which, at present prices, would bring about $20,000. Roy. Vincent advised the Colored people to remain in the South, keeping busy laying land, educating their children, and learning to feel it incumbent upon them to protect women, white and black. He also urged the importance of peace and harmony between the two races, advising that nothing be said to irritate or create disturbance. He included by reminding the Negro that the day of opportunity had come and it it was up to him to become a fact r in economy, intelligence, industry and constructive work, to make the most of his chances. The meeting was full of enthusiasm, and attracted here a large number of the Colored people of this country. NEW YORK, N. Y. When he was sentenced to die in the week of February 16, Frank Kelley, the Negro slayer of Katherine Dunn, offered only objection. It was Friday, he said, a hoodoo day, and might therefore have an adverse effect on an application for an appeal which his lawyer said would be filed at once. Office Phone Res.

Eddie Green and his company of capable, players, are offering the Booker Washington Theatre goers and another snappy show this week. The comedy vehicle which they are scoring a hit with is called "A Sleepless Night." The scene is a room in a hotel where the bed is so uncomfortable that the lodger has a series of "nightmares" delightfully exuberant in singing and dancing by neatly costumed vivacious and pretty girls. The anges of the victim, incidentally interferes with the plans of his pal to rob the place and the complication is, full of real humor, which strikes a hilarious note in the audience. Mr. Green again scores as a comedian and is able supported by his talented wife and Leo Boatner. The dance numbers are nifty and the singing is of the best. Estelle Carroll has another song success in "The Heart of a Fool" and Marie Baird with girls in Fallyhoo Day." One of the nightmares in an artistic feature of Turtles' big song hit this week is, "A Man Born of a Dark Woman. Is Sure Born to See Dark Days." It is a scream. There are a number of humorous dialogues and song and dance numbers by the principals, assisted by the girls. This week's show is as good, if not better than, and goes over with rhythm and harmony delightful to observe. The engagement will close Sunday night and should break all attendance records for the season. NEXT WEEK Four acts of high class vaudeville will be offered the patrons of the Booker Washington next week. Owlsie to the determination of Mr. Turpin to comb the theatrical field for the best talent before the public, the entire bill had not been booked. The patrons can depend upon a lively program of fun, music, novelty and dancing. "THE RIGHT TO HAPPINESS" AT THE JEST-A-MERE. Another truly great feature picture will be shown at the Jesta-Mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday when Dorothy Phillips will be seen in "The Right to Happiness." In this picture, Miss Phillips plays a dual role. The theme—two half daughters of a rich American in Russia become separated during a brutal pogrom in the Jewish quarter of old St. Petersburg. One grows up in a hotbed of radicalism and is sent to America, at the age of nineteen years, to spread the doctrine. The other sister is brought up as the pampered daughter of a millionaire. The girls meet when the Russian sister storms the residence of her own father at the head of a crazed mob. She is shot and killed and her supreme sacrifice changes her father's heart for good. The American twin marries her father's factious-foreman REPEATED. The "Birth of a Race" scored such a big hit at the Jesta-Mere during the past week, that Mr. Pittman has given in to the popular demand and will repeat the big spectacular drama on Sunday and Monday, February 1 and 2. "MIRACLE MAN," "L'APACHE" AND "THE MAN BENEATH," FEATURES AT THE PENDLETON. Dolothy Dalton in "L'Apache," will be the attraction at The Pendleton Theatre on Sunday, and Monday. Miss Dalton plays the dual role of an Apache dancing girl and a rich American. The drama is full of thrilling adventures and climaxes. "The Miracle Man" will be for a return engagement, on Tuesday. The story deals with a notorious band of crooks operating in New York's Chinatown, who learn of an ancient patriarch living out in the country and possessing the power to heal the sick and make whole the crippled. With the idea of making money out of his operations, Tom Burke and his pals go to the deaf and blind healer. Then commences a transformation in these crooks, that makes one of the most fascinating stories of all time. Sessue Mayakawa in "The Man Beethen" will be the Wednesday fea'urp. Around this theme revolves a story of black hand intrigue. Oriental mysticism and exciting dramatic situations which hold the audience in suspense to the final scene. The Japanese star does some convincing acting in his quagmire, masterly way, a manner that is too rare among screen actors. WILLIAM S. HART RIVALS AIRPLANE IN LIGHTNING JOURNEY. Covers Two States by Walking Out of a Modiise Shop Door in Picture. A the Cornet. Bill Hart recently smashed all records for speedy traveling. He walked into a modiest's shop in New Orleans, La., and walked out of it again in Hollywood, Cal. What the twog man was doing in a lingerie emporium is something else again. Audiences at the Comet Theatre will learn this Sunday when "John Petticoat," the star's latest Paramount-Arctchart film, supervised by Thomas H. Ince will be shown. The modiest shop is the center of attraction during a large part of the action. The whole film is set in New Orleans, where the scenario faced each lishment, and "shot" exterior. Then they returned to the Hart studios at Hollywood, where the interior of the shop was reproduced by the property men and carpenters and the inside scenes made. Thus Bill Hart's speed record. Unlike most Hart pictures, "John Petticoats" is said to abound in comedy, in addition to telling a dramatic story. Winifred Westover is the leading woman, and the picture was directed by Lambert Hillyer. MARY PICKFORD IN. "HEART O' THE HILLS" AT THE STAR. Mary Pickford, the little mountain has, in Heart O' the Hills, "will come to the Star Theatre this Sunday. This production shows Mary as she has never been seen before. A mountain girl, afflicted with a harsh mother, she determines to issue an ultimative proclaiming: that all future hickory-stick lickings shall be abandoned, that she will "get" the man who murdered her father, and that no landlord aristocrat shall encroach from the successful Hawn holdings. Other features of the Star will be Bunny Sarricola in "Kitty Kelly, M.I." on Tuesday; Harold Lockward in (Continued on Page 5) Last Chance To See Eddie Green's DeLuxe Co., in "A Sleepless Night," Saturday and Sunday Nights and Sunday Matinee.

"WITHIN OUR GATES" HAD MUCH TROUBLE Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Jan. 21. "Within Our Gates," the big Race Problem play, by Oscar Micheau, the author of the "Home-Meant," was shown the first time anywhere in public at Hammond's Vendome, one of the most magnificent moving picture theaters in the country. But the picture had a trying time before the public had an opportunity to follow the threads of the story, as they listened to the strains of inclement music, especially arranged and played by Tate's symphony orchestra. At the Chicago Bend of Meyer Corsors, the picture was at first turned down flat, because it was claimed, the effects on the mind of the spectators would result in another "race riot." The picture was given a second showing at the censor board, and a number of prominent people were called, in including a representative of the Associated Negro Press, to see the picture in its entirety, and express opinions on the possible effect that would be had on public sentiment. Opinion was divided after the showing. Those who reasoned, with the spectacle of last July in Chicago ever before them, declared the showing preeminently dangerous; while those who reasoned with the knowledge of existing conditions, the injustices of the times, the lynchings and handicaps of ignorance, determined that the time is ripe to bring the lesson to the front. Among those were Alderman Louis R. Anderson and Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward H. Wright. These men, with the endorsement of the press, and a group of aggressive people, went to the front, and a permit was finally granted. Then those who objected got busy among the churches, and protested at length against the showing. Singularly enough, the protests came from those within the Race, for the most part, and the majority of whom, had not seen the emperor showing. The action against the emperor was swift, until the hour of the opening of the meeting. Monday morning a committee was appointed from the Methodist Episcopal Ministers' Alliance, consisting of white and Clered, who visited the magic and According to the reports, writes a prominent medical authority, epidemic lethargic encephalitis, called by some the "sleep" sickness, was first heard of in France and England about one year ago. At first it did not attract much attention. Many physicians who saw the early cases thought they were due to a form of so-called ptomaine poisoning. Many others thought it was a peculiar form of poliomyelitis, or infantile paralysis, attacking adults rather than children. The disease frequently starts with double vision, vertigo, tendency of the upper eyelids to droop, and some difficulty in swallowing. Later the individual becomes drowsy. He may fall into a deep sleep or coma, and the coma has been known to last three months. There is little or no fever and the pulse usually is not accelerated. In France early in the epidemic about one-half of the cases died. In Great Britain only about one in five of the cases terminated fatally. It is too early to say how severe it will be in this country, but there is some reason for thinking it will be milder than it was in Europe. In a slight epidemic reported from an army camp located in Virginia only one case died, though eight had the disease. When recovery takes place there are none of the terrible after-effects such as one sees in the wasted limbs of persons who have recovered from infantile paralysis. The disease is but mildly contagious. It behaves in this particular much as does infantile paralysis and meningitis. State boards of health advise that the precautions taken be those required in cases of infantile paralysis. This seems to be ample. That the disease is not one of which we need be much afraid is indicated by the small number of cases reported from England and France. Though the disease has existed in these countries for about a year not more than two hundred cases are reported. The season of maximum prevalence is the winter and spring. chief of police, but without avail. The picture has been showing every day since, and people are standing in the streets for hours waiting for an opportunity to get inside. The story of the picture deals with the problems of the races as they are today in America. It is most interesting the presentation of types of people in both races. In this respect alone, Mr. Micheau, has performed a public duty. The types of both races range all the way from the ignorant tattler among us to the consecrated teachers and other professional folk; on the white side, are to be found all grades of humanity from the greedy land owners to the philanthropic soul, who is convinced that education, after all is the best means of adjustment. The noted screen artist, Miss Evelyn Preer, takes the leading part, and by her work discusses a world of possibilities for development in the moving picture art. The picture is calculated to arouse public sentiment against injustices, as "Uncle Tom's Cabin" aroused public sentiment against the evils of slavery. Mr. Micheaux says the picture will be shown in every section of the country where a permit may be obtained. NEW TRUST COMPANY IN ATLANTA, GA. BY MICHAEL P. PRESENT ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 21—Announcement of the organization in Atlanta of the Citizens' Trust Company, capitalized at $500,000 was made. Herman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, is one of the principle figures in the organization of the new venture. Aside from a regular banking and trust business, special emphasis will be given to assisting Colored people in purchasing and building homes and in securing farm properties on long-time payments, and at low rate of interest. The development of Colored-business concerns and industrial corporations will receive special attention. The new concern, will be national in scope with branch offices in many important centers. The bank will apply for membership in the federal reserve system which will place it under government supervision as well as State supervision. Associated News Press: CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Sometime ago, when an organization of whites was established to keep the Colored people out of Hyde Park and Kenwood districts, in Chicago, they adopted as their slogan, "They shall not pass." The Protective Circle of Chicago, organized recently to offset such attacks upon the constitutional rights of the Colored people have also adopted a slogan and that slogan is "No Backward Step." The preamble of the constitution declared this organization is committed solely to the policy of off-settling anything that is illegal or lawless. The strength of the organization is in the character of the citizens back it and the determination to bring justice regardless of cost. The officers are Rev. Dr. J. W. Robinson, pastor of St. Marka A. M. E. Church, president; Mr. Chas. S. Duke, civil engineer, secretary; Anthony Overton of the Overton青铜 Co., treasurer. The chairman of the standing committees are: Investigating committee, A. C. McNell, executive secretary of the Chicago Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Director of Publicity, Nathan Daniel Breacher, editor in chief of the Associated Negro Press; the legal proceedings, Oscar DoPriest; former member of the City Council; Progrananda, Jusie Binga, president of the Binga State Bank. Among others actively interested in the Circle area, S. Bollard, owner of the Chicago Defender; Dr. C. E. Benty; W. C. Linton editor Chicago Whip; T. Arnold Hill secretary Chicago Urban League. The Associated Norm Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. Jan. 21.—Much interest is attested in the writings of the delegates of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, on the subject of organic union. It is expected the some plan of union will work out. The sessions are being held in the same church where the split occurred in 1844, over the slavery question. The immediate cause was the holding of a Colored girl in a slave by one of the bishops who lived in the South. The split rame over whether this bishop should be expelled from the church. SAYS LYNCHING IS GREATER EVIL THAN THE CARDINAL SINS Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y. Jan. 20.-Dr. Henry Berkquoit, rabbi of Congregational Rodeph Sholem, Philadelphia, who occupied the pulpit of Dr. Schulman at Temple Beth El, declared that a spirit of hate transcending the three cardinal sins, was more wildepred today than ever before. He instanced the pogroms in Eastern Europe, adding that the Japanese were massacring Coeans and that Negroes were being lynched by Americans. The league of nations, he said, was all the more needed because of these conditions, and he denounced those who, he said, were flooding the country with propaganda against the covenant on the ground that it was irreligious and immoral because the peace conference at Paris, failed to open its sessions with prayer. WANT DELEGATES TO CHICAGO CONVENTION CHOSEN BY PRIMARY By Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 21—Protest against any method of selecting the two delegates and two alternates from the District to the next Republican national convention, except by a direct primary, is contained in a set of resolutions adopted by the Republican Interstate League Inc., a colored organization, and forwarded to the Republican national committee. The resolutions declare that the abolition of the direct primary has been urged in some quarters and urges all white and Colored voters to protest against any disfranchisement. The resolutions are signed by H. A. Clarke, Chairman; Samuel T. Harris, C. H. Henns, B. B. Phillips, R. L. Johnson, E. Nesby, J. Wysier Johnson and J. E. Harvey. GARY INDIANA TO BE MECCA OF THE RACE EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. Jan. 21—During a recent visit here, while working on a brief in behalf of the case of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, Mr. William C. H堡, of the firm of Houston & Callaway of Kansas City, Mo., was asked his opinion with reference to the recent suggestion that Gary, Indiana, is destined to become the mecca of the people of our group. "I Am of the opinion," said Mr. Houston, "that Gary offers a wonderful opportunity for our people and it is the object of the organization with which I am identified to take advantage of this opportunity. You understand that the only hindrance which we have in Gary is our inability to get homes, for there are no vacant ones. One of our objects is to build these houses upon such terms as our people can handle. Our corporation is capitalized with $500,000 Of this amount, $300,000 is common stock, $200,000 is preferred stock. The preferred stock is cash so the common stock is stock which we are now taking to offer and we are of the opinion that the investment of the common stock is a splendid one." Mr. Houston was asked what of the immediate opportunity for getting hold of Gary property. "David Glueck Really Company," continued Mr. Houston, "who has $800,000 in fee simple in Gary." "Much of this property is improved and in taking over the corporation he liais, what we acquire. In Gary, there are many industries employing as high as 28,000 men and Race men are employed as far as they can be accommodated with living quarters. Gary will be one of the largest cities of the country as well as one of the wealthiest, as all steel cities are wealthy. Property values Mr. opinion will be doubled." The establishment by men of our group of a Half a Million corporation in a city of the present size, marks a new epoch in pioneer development. My Associated Negro Photos.

No WANTS COMMISSION TO STUDY ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF RACE WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 14—A plan for the creation of a Negro industrial commission of five members to study the economic problems of the Colored race in the United States is made in a brief submitted to President Wilson today, by Giles B. Jackson, a lawyer and politician from Richmond, Va. Jackson was a Republican during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, was head of the Wilson committee 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 dropped" he said, at the White House, when he called to urge his plan, "Mr. Wilson has done more for the Colored race than any other president and I believe he is the right man to put forward our movement." The object of the commission would be to athlete and encourage thrift and industry among the Negroes of the country, according to the belief that by Jackson. It is urged that there is no official representation of the Negroes in the Government at the present time. An apprehension of $20,000 is ought to meet the expense of the imminent.

ARTICLE XIV. CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce, any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST. Now comes a great howl from the editors of many of the Southern newspapers because certain Northern States are claiming "State's Right" in their attempt to nullify the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution (the prohibition amendment). Some of those editors have suggested secession from the Union by New Jersey and other Northern States if they don't think they can abide by the amendment which makes the Nation dry. The Richmond Virginian deplores the idea of any State claiming State's Rights when it comes to enforcing a Federal amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Quoting the exact words, we read: "The whole truth is that the right of no State extends to preventing the ratification and enforcement of a constitutional amendment adopted in the mode provided by the Constitution itself. These alleged rights of the States, which are being urged to save John Barleycorn in these two small States, can not be considered State rights except by minds which have been unduly influenced by whisky—or insanity." The above editorial is clear-cut in that it holds that the right of no State extend to preventing the enforcement of a Constitution amendment regularly adopted. But why has this paper been so silent on the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution? The State of Virginia is one of those Southern States that is "dodging" behind State Rights in denying the ballot to the Negro and at the same time, this same State is operating Jim Crow cars under the guise of State Rights. We are pleased to see something come up that will bring the chickens home to roost to the Virginian. The Atlanta Constitution warns the Northern State that unless they want to be independent States, they must not claim States Right in dealing with the liquor question and has this to say: "Until New Jersey elects to draw out of the Union and become an independent government, the best thing it can do is to abide by the law. "It didn't work then, and it won't work now!" We are glad that Georgia is getting a dose of her own medicine. For many years she has made null and void the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution by the subterfuge State Rights, and the Atlanta Constitution backed her up in it, but now a great howl is raised because the Northern States are about to undertake to do the thing these Southern States have done for many years. We suppose that the newspapers, like the statesmen of the South, think disregard for amendments to the Constitution of the United States only belong to the Southern States. Remember, the chickens come home to roost. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS There is much talk about the reduction of the representatives from the Southern States where the Negroes are disfranchised, as a means of forcing the white people of those States to grant Negro suffrage in order that they may regain their power in the Nation's greatest law-making body. It appears to us that the proper and just thing to do in this case is for Congress, as is its duty to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution by appropriate legislation. That power is given Congress as a part of the amendment. The much talk about reducing Southern representatives seems to us like dodging the issue. The thing we want, and justly so, is votes in the South for the Negroes. What good will it be for us if the representatives are reduced from the Southern States and we are still disfranchised? The Republican majority in Congress have in the past allowed the Democrats to enter the Presidential race with electoral votes of all the Southern States counted in their favor, all because Congress has failed to do its duty. With the Negroes disfranchised in the South, the Democrats have only to work for a few Northern States for a majority in the electoral college. So why should the Republicans talk about reducing representatives and let the Democrats control the real big jobs? If the past eight years have not been a sufficient lesson, the leaders of the Republican party are pretty dense. To our mind, construction rather than reduction would be the best program for the G.O.P. leaders in the present Congress. LET THEIR CONSCIENCE BE THEIR GUIDE. Two of the afternoon daily papers are devoting much of their news and editorial space to the alleged gambling in St. Louis County. As gambling is a crime against society, it seems that neither newspaper space nor expense is spared in their efforts to force Governor Gardner to act. Of course, crime is crime. But the character of a crime is how we measure its affect upon society. Not long since a very heinous crime was committed in this State—mob murder was committed—a lynching took place near Moberly. These papers condemned this outrage in, no mistakable terms. But we failed to see day after day their efforts to force the Governor to act. This, of course, was their prerogative. Their conscience alone is their guide. If their conscience says that gambling is a greater crime against society than lynching, then they doubtless will devote more time and money to suppress gambling, but if they consider lynching a greater crime against society than gambling, then doubtless will devote more time and money to suppress lynching. Not that we believe in gambling in any form, neither do we believe it should go on unmolested, but we also believe that these two great daffles should go after the big things that go on in this State. Those things that are undermining the very foundation of civilized government. The Associated Negro Press ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 21—Harry H.

The reduction of the representatives the Negroes are disfranchised, as aople of those States to grant Negro regain their power in the Nation's power and just thing to do in this way to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment by appropriate legislation. That sort of the amendment. Southern representatives seem to the we want, and justly so, is that the representatives are reduced are still disfranchised? The Republic in the past allowed the Democrats electoral votes of all the Southern because Congress has failed to do disfranchised in the South, the Demow Northern States for a majority should the Republicans talk about the Democrats control the real big are not been a sufficient lesson, there are pretty dense other than reduction would be the holders in the present Congress. VICE BE THEIR GUIDE. Papers are devoting much of their alleged gambling in St. Louis to against society, it seems that sense is spared in their efforts to put the character of a crime is how. Not long since a very heinous mob murder was committed—ly. These papers condemned this. But we failed to see day after terror to act. This, of course, was alone is their guide. If their a greater crime against society will devote more time and money consider lynching a greater crime then doubtless will devote more thing, in any form, neither do we did, but we also believe that these the big things that go on in this determining the very foundation of Insurance Company, is to sever his concession, and to devote his entire thirteen to the musical production company of Place and Handy, with headquarters in New York. It is reported that Dr. Emmet J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University has been offered the position. President Of Elroy Co. Touring The South In Interest of Company Mr. J. W. Bronbaugh, president of the Elroy Manufacturing Company, has accepted an invitation from Dr. R. R. Morton, principal of Tuskegee, to be present at the Farmers' and Business Men's Conference held there this week and to acquaint the people in that section of the country with the plans and development of the Elroy Company. Mr. Bronbaugh left Monday evening and will visit many of the largest Southern cities before he returns, where he has hopes of establishing distributing houses for the factory's output, which will make the products accessible to the more remote points in the South. It is very pleasing to note that the first semi-annual just issued by the company shows that it has assets totaling more than $65,000.00, with liabilities less than $31,000.00. This is a remarkable record and should command the support of every Negro who wants to see the race do things on a large scale by becoming actively engaged in the manufacturing business. The following are the Board of Directors and Officers for the ensuing year: Board of Directors: J. W. Bronbaugh, J. W. Chambers, Oliver Rowlett, Horace Irby, James Williams, J. H. Revels, J. L. Porter, S. M. Anderson, Chas. H. Ingram. Officers: J. W. Bronbaugh, president and manager; J. W. Chambers, vice-president and treasurer; Oliver Rowlett, secretary; John W.

Dunn and Floyd English, recent additions to the undertaking profession in St. Louis, have purchased the establishment of McDowell Bros, formerly at 2218-20 Morgan St. now located at 2321 Lucas. The new owners expect to continue the same policy that made their predecessors one of the most successful in the city. The firm will be known as Dunn & English. Mr. Wm. C. McDowell, who was the junior partner of McDowell Bros, is now on the clerical staff at City Hospital No. 2.

CHISHOLM WALKER AGENTS ORGANIZE CLUB The agents of the Chisholm Walker System, of St Louth, Mo. Weber Groves, Kinloch and East St Louis, Ill. were called in a meeting at the residence of Mme. L. Woods, 2825 Lacede Ave, Jan. 15, 1920, for the purpose of organizing the Chisholm Walker Agents' Club. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 o'clock by our general instructor, Mme. Chisholm Walker. First, devotional exercise; then: roll was called and the following ladies were elected to office: Mme. Lillie Brown, East St Louis, Ill., president; Mme. Frances Washington, St Louis, Mo., vice-president; Mme. Belinda DuBose Hunter, East St Louis, Ill., secretary; Mme. Balmer Royster, St Louis, Mo., treasurer; Mme. Lila Nance, East St Louis, Ill., supply agent No. 1; Mme. Lucile Baker, East St Louis, Ill., supply agent No. 2; Mme. Bertha Davis, St. Louis, Mo., supply agent. After finishing the business, our attention was turned to a literary program, which was real timely and instructive. Mme. Chisholm Walker thought best to abbreviate the program and gave space to our visitor. The club voiced her sentiment and Dr. Hamilton, pastor of the Congregational Church of this city, was introduced. The doctor took palms to point out many advantages offered the Scientific Beauty Curator. He spoke in high terms of the scientific feature of the work. He impressed upon the agents the words "System" and "Madam." The impression he made upon the agents will never be forgotten. Then the agents had dinner at the beautiful dining room of Mrs. Cook. 114 N. Jefferson Ave. Mme. Lillie Brown, president; Mme. Belinda DeBose Hunter, secretary.

Baptist Pharmasal Company, Saint Louis, Missouri. Gentlemen: It is with the greatest satisfaction that I extend to you my hearty congratulations over your excellent product, "BAPTISINE." I have used "BAPTISINE" constantly for many antiseptic purposes. I find it wonderfully beneficial in relieving a tight cold; small quantities snuffed up the upstairs are immensely soothing and cleansing, and as a pleasant gargle and mouth wash "BAPTISINE" has no equal. I have proved to my own satisfaction that "BAPTISINE" is the best antiseptic that can be bought in any drug store, and I shall never be without a large bottle in my bath room. I would recommend "BAPTISINE" to all people who are addicted to sudden colds and chronic or temporary disorders of the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and nostrils. "BAPTISINE" is a real discovery and a splendid benefit to good health. A bottle should be in every home. As a mild and effective antiseptic "BAPTISINE" promptly reaches the seat of trouble, and Doctor Ernest Cole, the discoverer, deserves the highest praise and commendation. I wish the BAPTISINE PHARMACAL COMPANY the greatest success and prosperity. Sincerely yours, Wm. H. Fields, National Grand Master. A. U. K. & D. of A. DR.

Buckner, is confident the public will readily subscribe the necessary funds for preserving the health of the Negro boys and girls of St. Louis. 1,002 children were treated free of charge at the clinic from Sept. 1st to Dec. 22. This is the only institution of its kind in the city where colored boys and girls a attending school may receive dental care Dues of charge.

Send mail to: MURKANA MAIL COMPANY 40 DUPLAS ST. NEW YORK, NY 10014 When writing another one of the paper Let There Be An Investigation Of The Cause Of Riots In The U.S. (By DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS in Boston Chronicle.) The Colored people, and at least of all the Colored editors and "agitators" are not afraid to have the real causes of race rioting found. That is just what these gapers and agitators have been trying to do all along—disclose the evil of all this devilry. The cause is not simply this or that. It is complex. It is generally speaking the low status of citizenship and humanhood which the rest of the Americans are trying to hold the Colored Americans td. The cause is lynching, disfranchisement, Jim-crowism, discrimination in and out of court. The howling of Negro newspapers and "agitators" is simply one of the effects of all this. If any investigation looks for the cause of race rioting solely in the Negro newspapers, that investigation will be barking up the wrong tree. The truth is that the white press stands more nearly in the relation of CAUSE to these troubles. They of ten summon, and always cunningly urge on the rioter andYNcker of the white race "He will be tynched if caught." Lynching is feared." "A large posses of citizens and soldiers is bent on his capture." "Colored people are invading a white residential section." "The Negro presents a problem to this community." And all such stuff as this are if the Negro were something else than human, not merely a non-citizen. This constant suggestiveness of these press headlines and comments aids and abets the dehumanizing and decitizenizing of the Negro. As long as this is, there will be trouble, if we investigate from sum-up fill down. Indeed it is a cheap sort of hypocrisy, or a dogging of responsibility to go about hunting for what we already know: THAT THE LOWER STATUS OF THE NEGRO IN AMERICA IS THE CAUSE OF HIS TREATMENT. White people are human and are subject to the laws of psychology; and as long as the Negro is not thought of as a man, he will not be treated as a man. His own behavior will not of itself change the matter. We will not treat dogs as men because the dogs are gentle and tame. But if the dogs come claiming that they are not dogs and endeavor to rise above dogmant, then there will be trouble, for that in itself is a crime. Now the Negro feels that he is human, while there is a feeling in the average-white American that he is not human "like us." That is the everlasting basis of trouble. Some saintfists say: "It's just more distinction" Why, then, do we call a black man by his first name, and insist that he calls us "Mister"? Why do we try Negroes by all white jurors, even where the Negro is in the majority, while we can not even think of trying a white man by an all-black jury even where there is but one white man to ten Negroes? It's a plain case of racial discrimination with a tower status for the Negro, and "there's the rub." AN APPEAL FOR AID OF CONVICTED MEN-IN ARKANSAS LITTLE ROOK, AFG. Jan. 21 - Sey special days age heading Negroes from parts of the state of Arkansas asso- lated in the city of Little Rock and organized the Citizens' Defense Com- mission. The personnel of the Com- mission is as follows: Dr. J. G. Theronton, Chairman; J. H. McGonion, Secretary; Dr. W. H. Sugg- treasurer, Rev. J. P. Robinson and R. M. Caver. The object for which this Commission was created is to raise funds to coadu- d the defense of the 57 Negroes convoi- ced in connection with the recent ra- treatments in Phillips County, Arkansas. Themen composing this commission well established citizens of wide aqua- tance and represent the very high- ease of spiritual, professional and busi- ness activity. Twelve of the Negroes completed their connection with the Phillips County trouble have been sentenced to die in the electric chair and 75 to serve sentences in the Arkansas posthumously, ranging from five to twenty-one years. Negroes throughout the state animation felt that these Negroes should be given full opportunity to prove their guilt or innocence and in view of the fact Collin had been employed right the cases to the end. A few days ago a motion was filed in the Phillips County Circuit Court for a new trial. The motion was over failed. On January 9th an appeal was taken to the Negroes Supreme Court for a new trial. Every effort will be made to defend the rights of these Negroes born in the State and Federal Courts. To fight these cases through the courts will require a large sum of money, and the Citizens' Defense Commission is now calling upon Negroes throughout the country to contribute to this Fund. The Negroes in every community are asked to make contributions through some well established organization like the church, club, or civil association, etc., or send contributions direct to the secretary, J. H. McConley, Box 112, Little Rock, Ark. In this matter the rare must-act and act at once. Contributions should be made and remitted promptly in order that the progress of the defense be not handicapped for lack of funds. GOVERNOR BROUGH OF ARKANSAS WANTS NO FEDERAL LYNCH LAW NANSAS CITY, Mo. - Jan. 21 - Emphatic contradiction of testimony which he said had been given by U. S. Bratton before the Senate Judiciary committee was voiced in a statement given out here tonight by Gov. C. I. Brough of Arkansas. "Mr. Bratton, who formerly was postmaster of Little Rock," said the governor, "told the Senate committee, a system of beacon exists in Arkansas and other southern states, whereby the Negro is oppressed. He was testifying in support of a federal anti-lynching law, and cited the uprising at Elaine last October in support of his contention. "The Elaine trouble was the direct result of a conspiracy on the part of an organized group of Negroes to enforce certain demands from the farmers. The uprising failed because it was started prematurely and I was able to reach Elaine and Helena with federal troops in time to prevent a clash which had it occurred, undoubtedly would have cost the lives of many both whites and blacks. "the people of Arkansas, of course," says the governor's statement does not uphold lynching nor any form of mob action, but we do feel that a federal law is unnecessary—that the people of the state are able to meet the situation themselves" ANOTHER LYNCHING Alleged to Have Attacked White Woman—Biddled With Bullets FLORALA, Ala., Jan 21. Jack Waters, Negro, who is said to have been a soldier in service in France, was lynched here last night following an alleged attack on a white woman. Waters was captured, a few hours after the assault and is said to have confessed his crime. His body was found this morning hanging to a telephone pole at the intersection of Fifth Street and Fifth Avenue, riddled with bullets. The town is quiet and there is no disorder attendant upon the blinding. "As You Sow, So Shall You Reap" "As You Sow, So Shall You Reap" CHICKASHA, Oklahoma. This city, the county seat of Grady, has been pitied to severe shame since the way Leont, Chas A, Trilbett, a Negro officer was taken from the train and placed on the county jail, because he refused to lay a Polishian, in which he was held on his way to Fort Sill under government orders. Trilbett was imprisoned by bashing gage searched and to cap the alimax was even kangarooed in the cell and a portion of his money taken in the tolls of Grady County offices. He was finally fined and sent out of the town in a Jim-crow coach the next morning. An idea can be gathered as to the class of men who were killed Leonti Tribett's persecution which is known that the county judge, R. I. Day, died after being charged with assault and battery, by a young man in Cincinnati, was relieved of his position of honor and is now living on a farm in Grady County (Oklahoma), who was the county attorney, has been convicted of burglary in the courts of the state and case is now before a judicial court of review, he is teaching school and deterred from practice. Hodge Bailey, the sheriff of Grady County, and who expired into a homolimiting search of the person and effects of the detained colored officer and who lost the belt made of things, has been removed from office on a charge of burglary and I now out on a farm at work, the whole police force of Chickasha have been moved, since that time, including Chief Ben Philips, on request of the United States government, who combined of the funeral conditions obtaining in the city of Chickasha under their rule the only man connected with the trial of the unfortunate officer, who retains his good name is Judge Robert N. Fortune, the Negro attorney who defended Leonti Tribett, the rest of them have been allowed to go on the golf of darkness discharged by the own hints. Truth is a prophetic saying.

Among the distributions of the 29th Annual Tuskegee Conference was the following which deferred teaching and asked for better accommodations on railroads for our race. The Conference wishes to graffit its opposition to the discrimination practiced against Negroes by railroads and other common carriers. The discrimination is unnecessary and unfair. There is an indefensible injustice in charging Negroes first class fares and providing them with third and fourth, class accommodations. This Conference believes in law and order, and asks for Negroes only what the courts above other agencies should give-impartial justice. If Negroes commit crimes they should be punished by the courts and not by mobs. We are particularly deplore lynchings and we restate what is apparently too little kfown and seldom regarded, that rape is not even the alleged cause of 80 percent of the lynchings. We insist that better and fairer methods must be used for adjusting so many of the ordinary differences arising between man and man, than lynching and the subsequent terrorizing of a whole people. Nothing is done more to drive the Negro out of the South. Lynching is the cure for nothing. It merely creates further disregard for law and order. This Conference believes that the best method of meeting the difficulties that exist between the races in any command is to bring together the leaders in the office to deliver the conference. And we can up, the white and colored people in every community to co-operate and help make the South what it should and can be made—the finest example in the world of people of different races living together in mutual respect, helpful cooperation and peace.

Several states through their representatives pledged full support. Texas led the entire Union by pledging five million dollars, or in other words, one fifth of the whole amount. The meeting was presided over by Rev. Edward P. Jones, D. D., off Evanston, Illinois. Among the distinguished churchmen who spoke were Dra, J. W. Hurse of Kansas City, J. H. Kelly of San Antonio, Texas, E. H. Branch of Houston Texas, E. R. Carter of Atlanta, Ga. J. R. McCray of Illinois, A. W. Hill of Alken, S. C., M. L. Porter of Springfield, Ill. J. H.

C. Curtis of Galveston, Texas Rev. W. H. Cannon of Galveston, Texas. It was announced at the close of the meeting that an Address To The Baptists Of The Country epitomizing the difficulties and landing on a safe constructive platform would be sent out during the next sixty days, which it is claimed, will bring not only the twenty five million dollars, but even a greater amount, and that the Negro Baptists would raise the whole sum and then ask co-operation from the world at large. WORLD DEMOCRACY AT HOME FOR 1920 WORLD DEMOCRACY AT HOME FOR 1920 YONKERS, N. Y., "World Democracy at Home" was offered as the logo of the New Year 1920 for all colored peoples, especially those of the U. S. A., by the National Equal Rights League through its National Executive Secretary, Wm. M. Trotter, who was the Emancipation Day orator at the celebration in the Messiah's Baptist Church, Rev. S. W. Smith, pastor. A fair opportunity to earn a living and a full and equal opportunity to enjoy the use of every place of accommodation of service, of education of recreation and amusement for the public without restriction, for race was declared to be the determined and legitimate aim of Colored Americans. This was in accord with the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's Gettysburg address, the federal constitution and President Wilson's world war aim declarations. For the 3rd generation since emancipation the race has been performing the duties of citizenship, declared the speaker, and when citizens are required to perform all the duties of citizenship without exceptions for race, then they are entitled to enjoy all the rights of citizenship without distinction or differentiation because of race.
