HARD FIGHT TO STOP EXTRADITION OF HILL TO ARKANSAS President Of Farmers Union Arrested In Kansas. Governor Of Arkansas Asks Extradition To His State, Where Courts Are Trying Men Connected With Elaine Riots Citizens League Mass Meeting Monday Night, Galilee Baptist Church ENRIGHT PROPERTY OWNERS ORGANIZED TO OPPOSE SALE OF PROPERTY TO COLORED West End Business Men's Association Appeals To Race Members To Patronize Only Their Friends. Action Follows Purchasing Of Church Property By Lane Tabernacle And Several Homes By Citizens. Will Try To Stop Church Deal. As an appeal to the race to patronize as near as possible only their friends in business, the West End Business Men's Association (Colored) hasmitted the following for publication: At a meeting of the West End Business Men's Association held Monday night, Jan. 26th inst., the following resolution was adopted: Whereas there has been a movement started that questions the good citizenship of the Negro and published through the columns of the Globe Democrat; and whereas the names of business men, supported largely by the Negro, are poor as supporters of said movement; Therefore, be it resolved, that the Ward end Business Men's Association heartily encourage the withdrawal of Negro support from any and all business alding or encouraging such a business Property owners in the 4100 block on Enright avenue, have formed an organization, known as The Delmarm Enright Protective and Improvement Association, the purpose of which is to prevent Negroes from acquiring homes on Enright avenue and neighboring streets; according to articles recently published in the daily papers. The following is an article which appeared in the Globe-Democrat on January 22: ENRIGHT AVENUE OWNERS WILL *NOT SELL TO MEMBERS* NOT SELL TO NEIGHBORS. Residents of the 4100 block on Enright avenue hold a meeting last night with Rita Rauschholz residence, the reports that negroes had purchased property further, west out that avenue and to agree that no property owner should sell any tract in that block to Negro purchasers. About twenty-two residents, representing ownership of 65 per cent of the property in the block, attended. All agreed that an understanding might be reached whereby the Negro residents that far west should be kept up, certain streets, and this, it was pointed out, could be done under the segregation ordinance if the property owners hold together, non speakers favored holding the meeting, non speakers favored attendance for Negro residents in that section. Speakers of the evening included George R. McNell, George Kowar, Walter Stork and J. J. White. Emphatic denial was made that any Negro purchaser had acquired property in that particular block. The Post-Dispatch, on Sunday, told of another meeting being held last Saturday night and that another was scheduled for Thursday. The article, in part, follows: Miss Meeting Calling: A miss meeting property owner in the district bounded by Grand and Taylor avenues, Olive street and the Hodiamon tracks, was called for Thursday night at the First Presbyterian Church, Washington hallway and Sarah street, at which plans will be laid for carrying out the aim of the organization. "Aim to Protect Values." "This is not a race question, and there is no prejudice in it." Rancho told said "it is simply a business proposition. Most of us have worked hard to build or buy our homes, and we don't propose to see their value depreciated by any circumstance that can be avoided. The congregation of the church started it by deleting the church influence will be brought to bear on them by other churches to have that rain annulled." The purchase price of the sale was announced as $29,000, of which $11,000 has been paid. The remaison given for the purchase had returned further west. The St. Louis Argus Daily Paper Prints Sarah St. Grocer's Name As One Of Enright Property Owners Organized to Oppose Colored "Invasion." Walter A. Stork, a grocer and meat dealer with storks, at Sarah St. Edr and 1041 N. Stork, filed a suit, through his lawyer, Wednesday, against the Globe Printing Company for $10,000 damages, because of an article printed in the Globe-Democrat January 23, under the headline, "Enright and No Norgros," in which Stork's name was given as one of the principal speakers at a meeting. Mr. Stork charges that the report was false, as he was at home in bed when the supposed meeting was held, that he knows nothing to do with such. The case has been enforced as No. $1,509 on the Circuit Clerk's register. QUICK ACTION BY COLORED PATRONS OF STORE PATRONS OF STORE The Patrons store, in New York, is patronized statewide by Colored People. When it was noticed that his name was included in the number opposing the so-called race "invasion," of Enlighten, a storm of indignation and resentment swept the neighborhood like wildfire. The majority of the patrons withdrew their trade from the store and The West End Business Men's Association, a new Colored organization, took action in the shape of dodgers appealing to Negroes to withdraw their support. Stork admits the charge has done him considerable damage, and submitted the following letter to the Argus for publication, protesting his innocence: TO MY PATRONS AND THE PUBLIC: I wish to state that I have been dealt a gross injustice by an article which appears in the January 22 mentioning my name as one of four who attended a meeting on Enlighten avenue and made a speech in opposition to Colored people buying property on said street. I want to emphatically deny that I have been interested in any movement or have attended any meeting which has had anything whatever to do with the question of Colored people buying or renting property anywhere on Enlighten and have not been even consulted on any movement attempting to exclude Colored people from that street. I can not account for the reason that my name was included in the article published in the Globe, unless it was a malicious infant upon the part of some person or person to do me in law in war. I cannot agree with this in the fact that sometime ago, I declined to sign a joint agreement of property owners to refuse to sell or rent to Negroes. This brought upon me the camouflage of my neighbors in the f100 block. I purchased a home there one year ago, and partly like me, took all the time that the Colored people were being offered chances to buy property on that street. I did not care. I have been in business on Sarah street for fifteen years. The majority of my patronage has come from Coloured people. I have always strived to be fair and impartial and have been ment opposing them. I have contributed to affairs which meant the advancement of the race and was a generous giver on the fund to build the present Lane Tabernacle edifice. It is unfortunate that I have been stated, but I feel that my patrons will accord me a square deal after learning the truth. Thanking you for past favors, you solicit your continued patronage. W. A.

The war has inaugurated a new era; the opportunity for Christian service larger. New problems are being tackled the Associations, while the regular work, crowded with large facilities, must be supported. Let us make a brief survey of the work done by our own Wheatley Branch in the past year, accomplished in some cases with inadequate equipment. During the year 1915, 2,600 in attendance at Religious Services. 750 in attendance at Bible Classes. 750 in attendance at Hebron Prayer Clergy 750 in attendance at Mothers' Clubs. 2,625 in attendance at Industrial Girl's Parties. 1,920 in attendance at Girls' Work Parties. 1,300 in attendance at Committee Meetings. 116 in attendance at Girls' Work Clubs. 752 women and girls using Summer Camp. 129 Industrial firms surveyed. 2.183 Applications for work. 2.961 Calls for help. 7.693 Help Supplied. 40,000 Meals served in Cafeteria. 179 Women housed. 1.025 Girls reached through the Industrial Department.

"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that it had requested that Governor Allen of Kansas, requesting that from Kansas of Robert Hill, alleged leader of Negroes in the Arkansas race riots. "Hill cannot receive a fair trial in Arkansas," says the statement. "Juries from which Colored men were excluded sentenced five Colored men to death witnesses were not put on the mounteous their behalf. Governor McCall of Massachusetts in 1918 denied extradition of John Johnson, Negro, to West Virginia on similar grounds. "The Association announces that it has taken steps to employ counsel to oppose extradition of Hill to Arkansas." BY N. E. R. L. BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 27. - The National Equal Rights League has sent the following telegram to Gov. Allen of Kansas: For the sacred cause of life protection and of equal protection of the law, the National Equal Rights League appeals to you in behalf of court justice for the Colored American to refuse extradition of one Robert L. Hill, Colored, president Farmers and Household Union, to Arkansas, to a few members in bruises with trials of but a few minutes indicates extradition of Hill would make you party to another chapter in the most helpless miscarriage of justice and legal murder in America's history. You can ascertain by your own investigator, first hand, insisting upon seeing the records and books, that this Union was one, of reputable Colored farmers, some ex-soldiers, to secure court protection of pay for their cotton against fraud by planters and not to kill off white Americans. Fourteen million hope you will thus rebuke prevalent injustice to Colored America. N. S. TAYLOR, President. WM. MONROE TROTTER. Secretary. The League urges the race to write and telegraph to Governor Allen not to extradite Mr. Hill to be blood-hounds of Arkansas. room dormitory, and applicants have been constantly turned away. Are not these facts inspiring? More encouraging then will be the knowledge tige 1920 finds us on the threshold of a new dormitory, this anex, which has been carried out by W. H.ington avenues, will be equipped with all modern facilities, accommodates seventy women, and contains a cafeteria in the building. Among other problems racing the Branch for the coming year, will be the enlarging of the Girls' Work, the Industrial Girls' work, and maintenance of the Summer Camp. The Girls' Work, under Miss Crogman, dails with girls ranging in ages from 10 to 18 in the high school period. The Industrial girls' work under Miss Helen Adams touches young women employed in stores and factories through the city. Each of these workers reach from three to five hundred girls per month. There are few who do not retain pleasant memories of the Summer Camp, located in summer at Big Bend. This camp was equipped at a cost of $1,500. Cost of equipment, and operating expenses were met by the Field Office of the War Work Council. This year the problem of securing larger equipment and funds with which to meet operating expense falls to Whestley Branch. We hope to open the Camp in fund raising and to instead of six weeks, providing accommodation for 50 at a time. To carry on the work of the futur, making improvements on the good work of the past, requires funds. In this campaign we are asking for $116,000—realizing that this perhaps seems a large sum. The budget, however, which it is intended to cover, provides for large things. With all expenses increased nearly 100% we cannot hope to keep abreast of the times unless we prepare ourselves to take advantage of it in the proper manner. The Association is more in demand. It must, therefore, grow to meet these needs, or reveal itself an institution without sufficient vigor or adaptibilities for growth. Wheatley Branch must not fall short. Will you by your influence and donation help them in reaching the goal? GRAND DANCE.

[ ] CROWD HEARS SPEAKERS ON LEAGUE AIMS A mass meeting was held last Monday night in Union Memorial Church, Pine street and League Avenue, under the direction of the Citizens Liberty League, a strictly political organization, with a membership of several thousand serious Negroes, who are determined that their race should have full political representation on the St. Louis Republican ticket at the November election, and in the Chicago convention. More than 800 persons attended the meeting, a goodly number of whom were anxious women, representing Auxilius of the General League. After fervent prayer by Dr. B. Shaw, the object of the meeting was stated by A. W. Lloyd, president of the organization. Dr. Charles H. Phillips was presented as the first speaker on the program. In his introductory remarks he told of a meeting that was being held at the same hour by members of his race in the 23rd Ward, citizens of that community, to prevent Negroes from residing on Enright avenue, would be an issue that would meet stern opposition. "We were good enough to give our first blood for this country's cause; yet, we are not good enough to live on the back streets of an American city. We should not be required his color. His mental faculties should be considered," said the speaker. "The Citizens' Liberty is not an organization to fight a race or party. If we have white friends we should not forget them. If we have Negro friends it is our indisable duty to aid and protect the Lincoln died to secure us; and we want to enjoy every right under the Federal Law, that is embodied in the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States." Mrs. Fannie G. W. McDonald, of the Woman's Department of the League, has an earnest appeal to the women present, to use every opportunity in having the influence of the organization felt. A CONGRESSMAN FROM THE TWELFTH/DISTRICT. One of the most interesting speakers was Atty. Homer G. Phillips, who gave a clean cut exposition of the cardinal principles of the Citizens' Liberty League. "A Negro candidate for Congress is a new thing," he stated; "but it ought not to be. We have the voting strength, and we pay the taxes. There was a time when Summer and Stevens were in Congress and they spoke. It means more in this age, for a who man to stand in defense of the Negroes, as was done 60 years ago. We need some one to represent us who think as we do. "If a Negro Congressman is sent from the 12th District, he will see to it that his official activities are made matters of record. You have got to raise up and develop your own, and stand by your kind. "The matter of the Police Department will be an issue in the coming years. We will be expected to vote for some candidate for Governor of the State. Whether he be a Republican or Democrat, when he is elected, we want to see Colored policemen in blue uniform, discharging police duties, and not denoted in a palm beach suit and panama hat. "I do not know what it is that hangs around the position of a fireman that makes it impossible for Negroes to sue the City of Louis. We must have representation, whether the job comes through the Republicans or the Democrata." Why Negroes were not jurors, was made plain by the speaker, and he stated further, "the Republicans who make up the eligible list are wholly responsible for the omission of Negroes from reading articles in the New York Times to them to find out the attitude of three candidates for Circuit judges, with reference to Negro jurors." "The Republican Party Council is now making up their state" and have not consulted the Negro leaders. All of that council does not come from Springfield. Instead, the conference, we would not have to support an objectionable man because he was on the Republican ticket. The 17th Ward is the banner ward in Missouri; but until a Negro is made a committeeman, you are a francisco, just as the Negroes of Mississippi. There Has Not Been an Honest Election in 10 Years. "You can have the necessary votes and spore, but if a certain element doesn't want you to win you are counted out. The Citizens' liberty League is determining the county count votes and prescribes where Neer has in the majority. There has not been an honest election in the 17th Ward in 10 years. Profes In keeping with their plans to hold weekly meetings, whereby they can carry their cause direct to the people, the Citizens' Liberty League will hold their second public meeting Monday night, January 2nd, at Gallerie Baptist Church, 28th and Adam streets. Rev. Owens is pastor. The workings of the League will be conducted and the public is cordially invited to be present. The Women's Auxiliary is co-operating to help make this another big meeting. A. W. Lloyd, president; Mrs. Brant Bledsoe, women's department.

Jan. 28—In an effort to prevent the occasion from this city to Alabama, a Negro wanted there for the murdered years ago of a sheriff, the Colored Protective Association of Philadelphia will appeal to Governor Sprouk. Fred Spencer, thirty-seven, the suspect, was arrested here. He has been living on 18th street, below Pine, six years and working as a laborer. Magistrate McCleary held Spencer without bail in Central Station to await the arrival of papers. The Colored association fears the prisoner might be lynched if taken to the scene of the crime. The Sheriff was killed when he called to see a woman who lived in the same house with Spencer. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1926 Asia Minor Skinless Fruit Has Pit and Edible Kernels It Is Both Nut and Peach The connecting link between the sweet almond and the bitter kernel of the peach pit is found in the nut peach of the Persian gulf and Tiro-Enpirates valley (nushaperalka), sold in many American cities by foreign fruit importers. This combination of a juicy fruit and choice nut in one is unique with a single exception—an amber-colored plum of the Caspian region which has an almond-like kernel. The nut peach differs from the ordinary peach in that it has no skin; the surface is waxlike with beautiful red tints which cause a striking rechallenge to a confection. You do not peel it any more than you would peel a strawberry. It is very fragrant-Darwin's theory, according to the Scientific-American, that the common peach is a descendant of the almond finds substitution in the nut peach, though the scientist probably had no knowledge of the intermediary fruit.* The rough shell which incases the ordinary bitter peach kernel has little resemblance to the comparatively smooth, light almond shell; but it is said that wily Levantine-almond exporters sometimes adulterate their almond shipments with peach stone, the ridges of which have been worn smooth by friction. The pit of the nut peach resembles that of the common peach. It is large, rough, almost as hard to crack as a black walnut and in "free"—that is, it drops out when the fruit is halved. Flower Fields of Thibet Are Regular Paradise for Bees, Birds and Students Over great undulating slopes in Thibet are spread whole fields of flowers. There are miles of purple and blue monkshood, thousands of the great yellow mountain poppy, and everywhere bright patches of color. It is a regular paradise for bees, birds and botanists. The general public knows little of the region, and few travelers even have had the time, money, energy and courage which are the necessary companions of one who would reach the "roof of the world." Specimens are collected and dried in presses for botanists. The marshy banks of streams are searched for flowery gems, and smooth, grassy slopes are scrutinized, every rocky ledge being viewed with hopeful eye. The specimena collected are given or sold to botanical collections, and, the seeds to those who had subscribed to the expedition, and in due course the little strangers from far-off lands begin to beautify our own gardens. Deep Voices Require More Force Than the Sopranos Delicate scientific measurements have proved that contralto, barytone, and bass singers use far more force than soprano and tenor singers need. The explanation is that the lower tones leave a wider space between the vocal cords and require more vibration of the membranes, more air, and much more force. It is said that that is the reason a woman can outtalk a man. He has to use from seven to sixteen times as much lung power in uttering his deeper-toned words. Incubators 1,000 Years Old. A book written more than 1,000 years ago mentions two breeds of poultry still being raised in China, while incubators now used are the same in principle as those employed in Egypt 4,000 years ago.

With Saul as their leader they rushed back to the city, dragged from their homes and imprisoned those who confessed Christ. In this the devil overreached himself, for the believers took flight and went everywhere preaching the word. The time had come for the witness-bearing to extend beyond Jerusalem and Juden. Preaching was not confined to the twelve. The Lord thus makes the devil's wickedness to further his own purpose. Frequently, in the hour of trial, Christians see more clearly their duty and befit themselves to perform it. If Christians will not move on, the Lord will shove them on. 11. Philip Preaching the Gospel in Hitherto the gospel had reached only Jews; now its scope broadens and a Jew is preaching to Samaritans, and Samaritans are rejoicing in the gospel of Christ preclaimed by a Jew. His preaching was fruitful for multitudes believed his message. Much joy in this Samaritan city followed the reception of the message. Both Samaritans and Jews were looking for Christ, so they were glad to know that the Christ had come. Christ is the one name and person who will break down race prejudice. in him there is unity and real brotherhood, for he is the universal man. The only hope of the world is Christ. So great was Philip's success, that Simon Magnus professed faith and was baptized. Simon was a sorcerer who by magical devices had made a great reputation, gaining control of many of the credulous and ignorant, so that they regarded him as some great one from God (v. 10). The people turned from this sorcerer to the gospel of Christ. III. Peter and John Sent to Samarita (vv. 14-17). The church at Jerusalem rent two of its best men to encourage the work. They discerned that the Spirit had not yet fallen upon the believers, so they laid hands upon them, and the Spirit was given unto them. These Samaritans were really converted, regenerated, but had not yet been filled with the Spirit's gift. Believers should seek the Spirit's gift at once, for this will exclude the interests of the world. The mission of Peter and John shows the unity of the church—the mother church gave sanction to the new work in Samarita. Much of the work of the modern evangelist is a failure because it is not properly followed up by those who will instruct and bring the converts into relationship with the living church. IV. Simon's Wicked Request (rv. 18-24). When Simon saw that the power of Peter exceeded that, which he possessed and that it was received through the laying on of hands, he offered money for the gift. This art reveals the hypocrisy of this man. He professed faith and was baptized, following after them for a selfish end. To desire and seek the gift of the Spirit-for selfish aggrandizement is to be guilty of Simon's sin. All traffic in sacred things has been called "Simony," from the name of this sorcerer. Peter told Simon that he had neither part nor lot in this matter that he should repent of his wickedness and pray to God for forgiveness. He requested Peter to pray for him. Simon practiced the art of sorcery for gain and influence. Now that he found his profits diminishing and his influence waning, he endeavored to acquire new power. All persons who use their religion to further their ambitions to get gain are guilty of this sin. Sometimes men join the church for business; social and political reasons; sometimes official positions are coveted for the prestige and power they give. Let all who are using the name of the church for business purposes be warned by Peter's rebuke: Let Simon's doom be a solitary warning to all! The Goal. The goal on which our eyes must be set is a church that will, in its own corporate life, conspicuously express the Christian ideal of fellowship and brotherhood, and at the same time strive persistently to mold national, industrial and social life in accordance with the principles which are the fountain light of all its days. Delight in God's Work. All great art is the expression of man's delight in God's work, not in his own.—Ruskin.

"Gladay - Morgan's Revenge," a domestic drama is the vehicle used to exploit the talent of a quartette of popular performers at The Booker Washington Theatre this week. The actors are Bart-Kennett and wife, Edward Lankford and Miss Gonzella White. The playlet comes after a repertoire of four good vaudeville acts and is not only a diversion from the usual work of the four, but is highly entertaining and serves to display their versatile ability. The action of the drama is woven into the story of a brutal husband, designer of a mock wedding, who, tiring of his summing mate, tells her he is going to seek women of a fairer life. Before he acquaints herself, however, he is brought to face with another man, he has wronged and because of his own villainous deeds pays the penalty in death. It is a presentation of real merit and calls for much clever character acting. Marcquiterie Ricks opens the program in breeze) style with three song and dance numbers. She makes a stormy hit with the audience and is rewarded with a curtain call. Kennett and Kennett offer a few minutes in magic, and demonstrate many clever angles in the sleight-of-hand art. His manipulations of coins, balls and the like serve to thoroughly mystify the audience. Miss White and Mr Lankford score nicely as a phonehole duo. Their selections cover popular sentiments and the "blues" and are full of melody and harmony. Johnson and Rector are "fourth on the bill with a snappy dialogue bristling with new and original wittyisms. They have a couple of good song numbers and close with a rhythmic soft shoe dance that is full of art and perfect grace. George Primrose, an eccentric circus acrobat and comedian, is assisting the Kennets in their magic act this week and adds a hilarious comedy to the offering. Another vaudu-sville bill of exceptional merit will be offered the B W patrons next week. On the program will be Clifford Ross, the comedian Duck and Duck House and Houze and another star act. The performers mentioned are all top-notchers and the combination is sure to make a show of unusual brilliance. NEW SERIAL STARTS AT BOOKER WASHINGTON SATURDAY NIGHT. "Lightning Bryce" is Said to Be the Greatest Serial Ever Made. What is considered the greatest serial ever made will start at the Booker Washington Theatre this Saturday night. "Lightning Bryce," is the name of this serial and it will be in fifteen episodes. The stars will be ANN LITTLE and JACK HOJIE. The picture was directed by Paul Hurst, who is one of the most successful serial directors, having finished the directing of Ruth Roland in "The Tiger's Trail" after another director had started it. Joe Brandt wrote the store and it is a thriller from start to finish. Jack Hoxie is one of the famous stunt cowboys who is called upon to do a great many thrilling stunts in "Lightning Bryce." Ann Little is a dainty little Western character, who is thoroughly at home on a horse's back, who can ride, shoot, swim and do the many other stunts that are required of her as easily and gracefully as anyone. The first episode of this serial, will be seen at the Booker Washington Theatre, Saturday, Jan. 31. "A SCREAM IN THE NIGHT" AT THE STAR SUNDAY. "A Scream in the Night" will be the feature picture at the Star this Sunday. If anyone believes that man emanates from monkey the new Select special attraction, "A Scream in the Night" will place a quietus on the thought. "A Scream in the Night" bases a very entertaining story on Darwau's theory of the origin of our beloved ancestors. Events move swiftly from the time that beautiful Darwa is seen ditting from the treetops of jungles until the grand finale, when a crazed scientist places her in a cage with a giant apckiller. Among other pictures will be Norma Talmage, in "Isle of Conquest," Monday, "Traffic in Souls" Tuesday and the new serial, "Lightning Bryce," which starts Friday, February 6. COMET THEATRE TO SHOW BIG FAIRBANKS' FILM. "His Majesty, the American" Marks First Release of "Big Four" It is doubtful if any motion picture was ever awaited with as much interest and anticipation as Douglas Fairbanks' new picture "His Majesty, The American," which will be the attraction at the Comet Theatre, Sunday. Something more than mere interest in a motion picture lies balk of this anticipation, for "His Majesty, the American" is Douglas Fairbanks' first independent production and marks the first release of United Artista Corporation, the so-called "Big Pour." Other photoplays at the Comet will be: "Witt Wins" on Monday; Jack Hart's newest picture on Sunday, Feb. 8th. "WHAT EVERY WOMAN LEARNS" AND RETURN OF "WITHIN OUR GATES." - PENDLETON THE Thomas Iace picture, "What Every Woman Learns," will be shown at the Pendleton Theatre on Monday and Tuesday. "This picture is a fine and true example of the fallacy...of the ephecurean, philosophy of life" said the professor, "The belief that the proper way to live is for pleasure only and that the logical attitude is to regard everything as a joke as the heroine in this story does, falls down absolutely when one is confronted with a great crisis and tragedy. Then it is that the serious reserves in a person's character are called upon to exercise themselves. If we have lived for pleasure only, such reserves do not exist and it is like calling upon a long neglected muscle to function—it falls down absolutely.

The picture deals with the delays of man from the time of Adam and Eve, to the close of the great world war. "FLAME OF THE DESERT" AND MARY PICKFORD AT CRITERION. Geraldine Farrar in "Flame of the Desert" will be the attraction at the Criterion Theatre on Saturday. Romantic love appeal and political intrigue form the basis of this remarkable story. The Egyptian desert peoples invoke the curse of Allah against foreign Idols and plot to overthrow British rule in Egypt. An uprising of this sort, however, has been inspected, and for years Sheikh Muaddid (Lou Telllegen) in reality a British army officer, has lived among the people of the Sahara and learned of their plans. In London at the Victory Bait, he meets Lady Isabella Channing (Geraldine Farrar). A great love theme is at once developed and when romance is carried to Cairo, Lady Isabella is tormented by the dictates of her heart and her pride of race. As the plot unfolds, the keenest faculties of Sheikh Muaddid, the supposed Egyptian, are called into play in defending his government; and even before his real identity is learned, the woman he loves is called unto to prove the real depths of her feeling for him, regardless of castle. Mary Pickford, Sunday. Mary Pickford in "Heart of the Hill," will be the Criterion attraction on Sunday. It is a story of a maintained fund and a girl's revenge for the death of her father.

The new buildings will be built with both an eye to practical use and artistic appearance. They will be replete with modern educational conveniences. The fund of $500,000 comes under the direction of the State School Auxiliary, which was formed by Mr. DoPont to administer his first gift of $200,000 for building of white schools throughout the State. For weeks the Auxiliary has been making his plans to push the erection of the Colored schools, especially as they will be paid for entirely out of Mr. DoPont's fund of a half million and not by the "affy-fifty" arrangement under which the fund of $2,000,000 is used, for the white schools. Under the latter arrangement the Auxiliary matches whatever sum is approved by a school district for new buildings. Out of a fund of $30,000,000 available for its work this year, the American Red Cross has set aside $15,000,000 for European relief, $13,750,000 for use at home and $1,250,000 for completing its program in Siberia. In making public plans for carrying forward peace time activities, Dr. Farrand, head of the organization, declared that a considerable reserve must be held for emergency calls "incident to such possible events as the opening of Russia to intercourse with the United States." This determination, Dr. Farrand said, was reached after long and full consideration with government representatives in this country and Europe. With appeals infinitely beyond its resources, and unable to count on additions to its total fund during the year, the executive committee, Dr. Farrand said, found it "both wise and necessary to consider the application of its funds so that the soundest possible sense of proportion might prevail." All obligations to soldiers, sailors and their families must be provided for, Dr. Farrand reported, while the Red Cross must be ready at the same time to meet relief demands due to disasters. "We are repledged," he added, "to the establishment of a peace-time program in America for which $13,750,000 will be made available. In considering this item it must be kept clearly in mind that while expenditures in this country arising directly out of the war remain high they should rapidly diminish, and while our work for establishment of peace-time undertakings will increase in some measure, this increase will be inconsiderable as compared with the reduction of war items."

For dark, mysterious pool and sheltered bay, And round deep dreaming isles thy leaves expand. leaves expand, When thebarbary barges plow their way, Full freighted, to the ancient Theban land. On Karnak's lofty columns thou were seen, And spacious Luxor's temple-palace Each royal Pharah's emeralded queen Chose the royal to deck her glittering banquet halls; Fet thou art blossoming on this fair lake As recently, amidst these common things, As on the shores where Nile's soft ripples As in the halls of old Egyptian kingls. Looking at the see, sees stately tresses rise Outtut him, and the long lines of priests, white-rubed. That chant strange music as they slowly pace Dim-columned ales; heara, trembling. Aye, deeper thoughts than these, though undefined, Wake in the quickened soul at sight of the. For majestic orient faith enshrined. Man's yearning hopes for immortality. And thou wert Egypt's symbol of the power That under all decaying form lies hid: The old world worshiped thee, O Lotus and thee, O Lord. Then carved its spinx and reared its pyramid.

Eider Ducks Pluck the Down; Later Gathered for Export Elder ducks breed in thousands on some of the smaller islands off the coast of Iceland. The birds are so tame that they will allow anyone to stroke their feathers or lift them from their nests. This is because they are protected for the down, which is a large item of export from Iceland. The birds puckle the down from their breasts to line their nests. When these are well lined the owner of the land takes the down from the nests. The ducks take more down from their breasts, and again it is removed from the nests. For the third time the ducks pinch down from their breasts, and this time they are not disturbed till the eggs are hatched, then the remaining down is taken.—The Girl's World. The Perfec Man.

N. Guilford assigned by Madame Guilford and young Miss Lucille. At 2 p.m. the house was opened and the guests composed of Tacoma's best people began to stream in to pay their respects to the family. Mr. E. F. Edison and Mrs. Irene of Seattle, served a light bulb-decorate lunch. There were more than 85 persons called and all expressed them Minister. Was Inventor of First Percussion Look for Fire Arms; First Used 1825 The first percussion lock for firearms was invented and patented in 1807 by the Rev. Alexander J. Forryth, a Scottish clergyman, who was born Dec. 28, 1768. Firearms were first made in Italy in the fourteenth century, and were employed in war by the Burgundians at Arms in 1414. These first small arms were really small cannon, and were borne by two men. In 1471 Edward IV. had 500 Flamenges armed with hand-guns in his army, and a little later the Swiss armed 10,000 men with arquebuses. The musket was employed in the army, of Emperor Charles V, early in the sixteenth century. These rude firearms were at first discharged by the application of a flaming torch. About 1517 the wheel-lock method came into use, and afterward the flint was used, from 1602 until the Scottish clergyman invented the percussion principle of igniting gunpowder in muskets, by means of detonating powder. The flint-lock guns were used by all the European armies during the early period of the Napoleonic wars, and only a few, guns embodying Foraythe's invention were in use a century ago. Percussion caps were first generally used about 1625. Can You Spell This List of Words?—Test for Teachers Repellent — Collectible — Piclicking — Inoculate — Consensus — Inferred — Sacrilegious — Distribute — Billious — Vilify. Any one who can spell these ten words and spell them correctly is a smart man, according to Fr. W. W. Miller of the University of Minnesota, who applied the test to ninety normal students who intend to teach school. The best record was seven of the ten words spelled correctly DECIDING ON THE BREED OF FOWL DECIDING ON THE BREED OF FOWL --- (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) A small flock of heens can be kept with profit by many city dwellers who have a back yard. Even as few as eight or ten heens should produce eggs enough, when used economically, for a family of four or five persons throughout the year, except the mowing period of the fall and early winter. Householders usually desire not only eggs for the table and for cooking, but also an occasional chicken to eat. For this reason one of the general-purpose breeds, such as Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, or Orpington, is preferable to the smaller egg breeds, such as the Leghorns. Not only do the mature fowls of these breeds, because of their large size, make better table fowls than the Leghorns, but the young chickens for the same reason make better fryers and roasters, whereas chickens of the egg breeds are suitable only for the smaller broilers. The general-purpose breeds are also "broody" breeds, the hens making good sitters and mothers, which is a decided advantage when it is desired to hatch and raise chickens, since the hens of the egg breeds saden go broody and are in any event rather unreliable sitters and mothers, if, however, the production of eggs outweighs the desire, for an occasional table fowl, the lighter egg breeds undoubtedly will be found better, because they lay an many eggs and do so on less feed, with the result that they produce the eggs more cheaply. It is by all means advisable to keep some pure breed or variety. Where this is done, sales at a profitable figure can often be made of breeding stock intended for market, or of eggs for hatching. selves as well pleased.

AS A MATTER OF SIMPLE JUSTICE The mass meeting of the Citizens' Liberty League, which was held at Union Memorial Church last Monday night, clearly shows that the Negroes are awakening to their political and civil rights as never before. The expression of approval by the audience as the reasons for such an organization were explained, in positive proof that the people are with the movement, and all they want to see is that the leaders are in earnest, and they are ready and eager to follow.

This is no time for bickering and the display of petty jealousies. For, "the whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." Therefore, we should keep cool. Our cause is right and we must win. Remember, we have a deal of white friends who believe just as we do, and even those who are enemies of our cause are not so because they think less of us, but because they think more of their own.

It has been reported through the daily press that following the announcement that a Negro congregation had purchased church property at Newstead and Enright, the white people in the vicinity have been up in arms over the thought that Negroes would now buy and move into that neighborhood. It is also stated that an organization has been formed to be known as the "Delmar Enright Protective Association;" the purpose of which is to keep the Negroes out, even if by force. There is quite a deal of inconsistency about the move. In the first place, the white people owned the church property, and these same people who are "organizing" knew that a deal was on or pending to sell this church property to a Negro Congregation. Why didn't they act then? Then, too, the white people own all the property in the neighborhood; can the Negro compel him to sell? Have we power to confiscate property just because we have a church in the neighborhood! If the property owners don't want us to move in on them, all they have to do is to not sell or rent to us, and that settles the question. There must be some sinister motive for all this hullabaloo about "Negro invasion." Let that "home protectors" look among themselves and see if there is not some unscrupulous real estate operator playing both ends, or a few spiteful neighbors who are standing off laughing up their sleeves because they have laid plains to make their fellow neighbors pay for their racial prejudice. But the inconsistency of the whole affair, is, why blame the Negro? Why up in arms ready to kill and murder the innocent? Sheh moves as that by the so-called Delmar Enright Protective Association are good cess-pools for the breeding of race hatred and race riots and all kinds of deviltry. The Negro is an American citizen. Has always been law-abiding and true to its institutions. We are a part of the great City of St. Louis, and have developed and progressed with the onward march of the city's growth. Why try to keep us back because of racial prejudice? Remember, to keep a man down is a ditch, you must do more. In this day of unrest and strife we would suggest to the promoters of this un-American idea, to look well into their complaint against the Negro in this case and see if they are not winning against us rather than being sinned against. We would also suggest that a prayer meeting would perhaps give their conscience more ease than a mass meeting. For in their main meeting plotting against the Negro; they may be digging a pit for their own downfall. MARRIAGE LICENSES Dewey Carpenter 2317 Biddle, Omah Jones 2321 Division street.

No Jim Crow Department In Union Electric "There is no Jim Crow department in Union Electric's business," is the statement coming from one of the officials of that company a few days ago when a prospective purchaser of some of the 7 per cent preferred stock of the company called to investigate the sales.

IN MEMORIAM. along election crooks, who reside in other wards are brought in to march 30 days before election, for the purpose of destroying your vote. Declayy and race pride prompt us to demand, that Negroes handle our votes. Traitors of the race might say the time is not Hippe. We are determined to have it done, however, or somebody will give the reason why. "There is a vacancy on the Board of Aldermen and the League is insisting that a Negro from the 17th Ward avoids fill the place." Among the other definite demands that have been made and framed by the Citizens' Liberty League is a representative in the State Legislature" Dr. Riley was elected in the 5th District, but was not wanted and lost the election in the Election Commissioner's office. I am a Republican, but not a fool Republican. I don't believe in the kind of Republicanism that I am forced to swallow in the City of St. Louis." With a degree of candor, Phillips admished, those of his hearers who could not openly endorse the principles of the League, because of their jobs: "Those of you who cannot speak, for God's sake, keep your mouths shut, for the League is committed to the propositions as have been outlined, and will make the sacrifice for you. If you do not favor our policies: if you do not think a Negro should go to Chicago and help select your President, don't sign our membership cards—we don't need you." Atty. Geo. L. Vaughn, member of the board of directors of the Citizens' Liberty League, was another convincing and enthusiastic speaker, who cited many conditions, wherein the Negroes of St. Louis were not given civil and political consideration. He declared, "that not having a Negro Alderman is the immediate cause of the unsanitary condition of the sections where Negroes reside. "In the State of Missouri, white boys are being educated and given scientific training by the State, and that the Negro taxpayers were paying for it. The principles of the Citizens' Liberty League are the irreducible minimum of the things we want, and we don't want any compromise. "One intelligent Negro in Congress representing his race means more than all the white congressmen who are our friends, but because of social conditions, cannot champion our cause. You have tried everything else; just vote for yourself once. "The Citizens' Liberty League members are looking for that class of men and women who will look every man in the eye and say, I am going to have every right that belongs to me, even though the cost is my life. The Negro who claims the time is not ripe enough to enjoy his rights has an 'axe to grind.' Mrs. Grant Bledsoe, president and Mrs. Pearl Perdue, of the woman's auxiliary spoke enthusiastically of the effective work that is being done by their department. I Am Not As Good a Republican As Was My Father. Dr. B. F. Abbott, pastor of Union Memorial Church, forcibly outlined the sentiment of the League. He referred to the opposing element of the race who declare the time, has not yet come, as the "Parrot Negro," who has been taught by his white "boss," and can give no reason whatever for saying the time is not opportunity. "That sort of Negro has no brain and does not think for himself," shouted the speaker. His reference to the "Ward Healer," brought a storm of applause, when he emphatically uttered, "he goes around with his salve and smoothes out things after an election. I voice the sentiment of the many Negroes who from now henceforth will not accept salve anymore." As though a shot coming from a heavy army gun schooled the words of Dr. Abbott, who stated, "I am not as good a Republican as was my father, for the things for which he stood, I will not. I want political freedom, and that's what we are going to hear." He received quite an ovation. The closing remarks were made by Rev. J. Lyle Caston, pastor Ollette Baptist Church, 4209 Finney avenue, "You have heard a deal tonight, about political action. I come not on that mission." continued Rev. Caston, "As pastor of one of the churches in the West End of this city and as a fellow race patriot with you, I come to call your attention to another matter of which you have undoubtedly read in the daily papers. I hall from the vicinity of Enright avenue, And I come to enlist the co-operation directly of those of you who live in that district, and indirectly to get the support of all of you who are assembled here. (Outbursts of apologies.) "I am here to advise you not to trade in the stores of those white merchants in the neighborhood of Enlighten avenue, who have been guilty of inciting violence to keep Negroes from residing on that street. We Negroes of the west end are not sleep and have been an effective boycott of the business operated by the merchants who were a part of the recent indignation meeting held in our neighborhood."

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1920 POLITICAL POT IS STILL BOILING No Intention On The Part Of Colored Voters, Throughout The Country, To Give Up The Fight For Recognition; Question Is, "Where Do We Come In? The Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Jan. 21. — There is no let up in the seminars in economic and political circles. Everything means something, and the people everywhere are watching the developments with scrutinizing eyes. The brother is still sitting high and dry, there is no question about him being dry but aside from that, he would prefer to be wet with political favor, if there is absolutely no opportunity to receive benefits from the goods with a "kick" in them. The conditions in Germany do not lessen the interest in events at home. The German situation is regarded as part of the evolution of the revolution of the social unrest. The choir has been asked to sing "Peace, peace, wonderful peace" but the director answers back that "There is no peace." And thus is delayed the millennium. Adding to the general confusion of the times come, protests and attesting about disfranchisement in the South, and the lack of proper political recognition in communities where it is absolutely known that the votes of the Colored citizens put the big fellows in office. The situation in Baltimore, Md., is the most astounding. There, it is admitted, by all concerned, white and black, Democrats and Republicans, that it was the Colored voters that put the present Republican mayor in office. And yet, despite the pleadings of the Race leaders, in co-operation with the Colored member of the City Council, the best that has been given the 100,000 people of Baltimore is two caretakers of a toilet station. Recently the veteran newspaper editor and pioneer citizen, John H. Murphy of the Afro-American, protested in no uncertain terms and read the political "pilot act" to the mayor and party leaders: The daily newspapers have extensively commented on the situation. The Baltimore Sun is joking clerer, fun, at the Republicans and inquires: "What reasonable excuse the Republican city administration can give the Colored politicians of that party for not giving them considerable number of jobs." The Sun goes on to say, rather sarcastically, "the Negro is a full-designed citizen. He vote is a great asset to the Republican party, which in the Civil Rights Bill tried to enforce his slogan Mrs. Booker T. Washington Says No Provision Is Made For Their Comfort NEW VORE, N. Y., Jan. 28—In a recent address given at Tuskegee institute, at a conference of Thelpus-Stokes professors and fellows at Southern Universities, Mrs. Booker T. Washington stressed the need of more serious consideration of the problems of living that confront an educated Negro girl who goes out to service in the average southern family. The lack of provision for the comfort and convenience of domestic helpers has done much, in her opinion, to lessen the number of trained and educated Negro girls who are willing to enter domestic service, even as a stepping stone to some other career. "I remember some time ago, she "I remember some time ago, she said, 'I received a letter from a city a the South in which' the request was made for a Colored girl to work in the home, and when I wrote the lady and asked her what provisions would be made for the girl to sleep and bathe and for something of home life for her self, she replied that she thought she girl could find some place to live in the community, but she, of course, was not sure." "I refer to this letter because it describes a condition which is doing much to make domestic servants unhappy among the educated and well-trained Negro girls. Our schools, our current literature and our organizations for social welfare are all emphasizing care of the children, protection of girls and model home life. These, to my mind, emphasize the importance of providing as much home life as possible for the girls in domestic service, in order to attract Colored women who are being trained in schools like Tuskegee." "Frequently," added Mrs. Washington, "our students here go to domestic service as a means to an end, but some of them have had experiences such as I have indicated; which have used them to make up their minds to do school teaching or any other work rather than do service. If I had time to relate some of the experiences of these young women, of their neglect, of their exposure and of their loneliness, on would understand some of the reasons why the problem of domestic help is so aggravated at present. Eleven Reasons For Retrial Of Men Convicted In Arkansas Eleven Reasons For Retrial Of Men Convicted In Arkansas New York, Jan. 28.—Recently five Negro defendants in the Phillips County "massacre" trial who have been jointly indicted, tried and sentenced to death were granted a reprieve. A move for their retrial by the Supreme Court of Arkansas was granted on the following grounds: 1. That trials to take place in Phillips County, one month after the trouble while feeling of whites against Negroes, and particularly the defendants, was "bitter, active and persistent." Bitter feeling was as well as his political. Ever since the way the Negro has been voting the docket, but in Maryland, at least, he has had virtually none of the plums of politics. The Republicans assure, the Colored brother of his equality with the whites, but when the offices are met out he gets nothing, or only the least desirable of jobs." That statement is regarded as very generally true, regardless of the motive behind it. "The reasons given by you for your assertions cannot be improved upon. Every statement you have made is a fact that cannot be denied," said J. Alonzo Borsay, in reply to the Sun-Howevere, the Baltimore News claims that the purpose is, "to embarrass Mayor Browning, by arousing discontent among Negroes." Then the News begs the question by saying: "the great mass of Negroes care no more about political office than the great mass of whites." Nevertheless, these truths are self-evident; the Colored people of the United States of America are determined, at all hazards, to get political recognition in proportion to their numerical strength, or else not out the exact reason why, and then act accordingly. The issue of political equality is not being forced so greatly by the Colored people themselves at this time—although there is militant alertness—as by the conditions of the times, implicable and irresistible. The unseating of the two Socialists in New York has added to the gravity of the gravity of the situation, for aided and abetted by Charles Evans Hughes, the last Republican nominee for president, and a former member of the Supreme Court of the nation, the subject of "Disfranchisement" has been unexpectedly, and awkwardly brought to the front and when the informal subject is opened, may the Lord have mercy upon the souls who have politically murdered the people of the Colored Race, and, also, those, of all parties, who have failed to protest against the crimes. The great and strong arm of the nation thrown out to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, when the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are winked at and smiled over, will fail to add anything whatever to the harmony of the present-day conflict. "In the midst of it all, the refrain is heard with remarkable quantality: "Where do we come in?" shown by the fact that while the 18 ARGUS Lewis men were incarcerated, a man attempted to storm the jail and was prevented only by United States soldiers. 2. That they were, while confined, "frequently subjected to torture for the purpose of extracting" confessions from them. 3. That they were given no opportunity to consult with friends prior to the trial or to seek assistance for defense. 4. That they were not even informed of the charges against them until after their indictment. 5. That the indictments were returned on October 29 by a grand jury composed wholly of white men. 6. That subpoenas for State's witnesses were issued on October 30, to appear November 2. 7. That on November 3, without ever having been permitted to see or talk with attorney or any person with reference to defense, the defendants were placed on trial, the court appointing counsel before a jury wholly of white men. Execution and intense feeling preventing the securing of a fair jury. If such had been secured, it would not have had the courage to acquit them if found innocent. 8. That their counsel proceeded to defense without consultation, without witnesses for defense, and without opportunity to prepare for defense or secure witnesses; that no evidence was offered in their behalf; they had never been in court before and could not take advantage of their rights, since they did not know them. 9. That the entire trial of all five took only forty-five minutes, and the verdict was returned in three to six minutes. 10. That no copy of the indictment was ever served on Ed. J. E. Knos, Ed. Cleman, and Paul Hall, nor an attorney, for them while Frank Moore says a copy was served on him on the day preceding the trial and not forty-eight hours before, as provided by law All say they never consented to waive such service. 11. That the law provides that jury commissioners, to select grand and petit jurors should be elected to choose these jurors for the succeeding term. For more than thirty-five years only white men have been appointed in such commissiones, and that such commissioners have selected only white men, no Negro ever having served on any grand or petit jury, although there are a great manyNegroes possessed of the intellectual, moral and legal qualifications for jury commissioner and for grand and petit jury serve ice. WILBERFORCE U. IS TRYING TO RAISE BIG ENDOWMENT FUND (Associate Negro Press) Xenx, and John J. A. campaign for $10,000 in support of Wilberforce University of Wilberforce, near Nearcal Ohio, a school founded in 1863 by the late Bishop Jamie A Payne for the education of Negro youths, has been launched in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois conunces of the A.M. E. K. Church, which conferences comprise the church district supporting Wilberforce University The campaign for this fund is to terminate at Founder's day celebration, February 20. Wilberforce University, during the fifty-seven years of its history, has graduated thousands of Negro youths who have since become the respected leaders of their people in all sections of the country. It has an enrollment this year of 527 students in all departments and is greatly in need of larger equipment and facilities for continuing her redemptive mission among the black people of America.

THE COLOR LINK AGAIN (Houston Music, Adrienne) Dear Mr. Editor: I saw a paragraph in your paper recent date concerning the refusal of a hotel proprietor in Grand Rapids to entertain Negroes at his business, at a session of the National Council, which reminded me of an incident of my own. THE TRUTH MAKES FREE (Philadelphia, Pa. Public Ledger) To the Editor of The Public Ledger: Sir, During the recent debate in the sedition bill, Senator Overman of North Carolina, made reference to the literature being sent through the South, urging Negroes to arise and acquire the land. A careful reading of any Colored newspaper or magazine published in this country will show that far from advocating violence these journals are urging their readers to be charity and economical, to acquire land and become economically independent. It is quite true that many of them are urging the Negroes to stand up for their right as American citizens and to demand the ballot, which is the only legitimate weapon in a democracy. The trouble seems to be that the bourbon Southerners are afraid of losing their supply of cheap labor. After working the Negroes for 250 years without a payday Southern gentlemen are still trying to keep the Negroes in economic and political slavery. A university of Georgia publication refers to a Southerner who said that the reason why he preferred the Negroes to Italianans as laborers was because you can drive, "niggers," but you can drive "dragons," because you can heart the Negro problem in the United States. For contrary to superficial reasoning, the antiquity of the whites toward the blacks grows. In direct ratio to the amount of progress made by the Negro race toward education, general culture and economic success. Signed BENJAMIN ALVIN ARNOLD Philadelphia, Pa. 1920 (New York World, N. Y.) In the 4 United States from January 1 to December 17, 1919, there have been 76 known lynchings 20 Colored, 4 white and 2 Mexicans. 10 of the yetians' were burned alive and 3 were burned after death. In 1918 there were 85 lynchings. In 1919, 1 lynch was killed. The figures for 1918 do not include the lives lost in race ribbs in Washington, Chicago, Chicago - Knoxville and Arkansas. The continence of this horror poison, our whole national life and silence our voice in the tunnel of humanity. What makes Buckling—or horribly, is that the savagery of blooms that is so early aroused that live are taken for almost no crimes at all. A man found under a bed was lynched, so was the one who made boastful remarks. An improper letter was written and two women were lynched for it. Mobs took the lives of others for equally terrible offenses. That race had war-repellable in a great majority of the cases in deductive from the fact that all but seven, victims of Judge Lynch were black, and everyone of the seven whites were accused of murder. It is a slicking record that was made in 1913 in a country that is supposed to be governed by law. (Pittsburgh, Pa. Leader) Perhaps the next time the favorite southern pastime of lynching Negroes is confirmed, the authorities of Lynch law may ask Northern colony to give consideration to the mob tactics of the New York legislature in depriving five members of that body of their seats and legal rights. If the negroes ask for a Mir comparison between the degree of lawlessness in their tactics often in the beat of anger and in the presence of air attacks crime and that of the New York lawmaker, they will impose a severe contrast upon the Southern mob strives at the city rights of an individual. The New York legislature in wreckless defiance of all law and order and in sheer regard to political principles and guarantees strikes at the foundation and principles of American life if government. If New York legislature has not set up anocracy, a dictatorship, or the might, it would be interesting to have another definition. DEPLOYERS RACE PREJUDICE (Dabish, Mihm, Herald) To the Editor of The Hospital. For a long time I have been an interested man of The Herald and the American Constitution, and I am eager to read anything concerning the training of the ex-Colored soldiers of America—soldiers, my friends, who went over to fight for our dear America, the land of liberty, freedom and justice. I ask you, in the name of God, we both worship, why do you have them? Have they not provolved faithful to our ing and you? Yes, they are true citizens of America. What other people can better prove their worth in this country, the land of true democracy? On: when will we learn the true meaning of that word—democracy? The men might have done something implacable to their white brothers, but their faith is black, they are not bound the law of a trial. Are they not human? More than one of their white brothers have gone free for even one. I ask the unprejudiced, the just citizens of this glorious America, why do you disdain the floorstairs of others, when your own is so sadly neglected? I am trying to write all my meaning. Please wake up and give them a chance. PAGE TEN Yours for real charity. (Signed) H. C. LOVING. Duluth, Minn. There are two thoughts that always come to the mind when thinking of Major General Leonard Wood: One, Americanism; the other, Theodore Roosevelt. To these may be added a host of other thoughts such as efficiency, courage, justice, obedience, energy, humanity and thoroughness. The person who iseldom blessed with generosity of these blessings, but General Wood undoubtedly is among the favored few. In considering an American for president this year, his Americanism is of first importance. These are times of turbulent and unrest, and it is beging the question to skim over genuine loyalty and a fervent spirit of patriotism. Someone has said that the next president must be an "outstanding man," meaning someone whose name is an inspiration and whose presence commands respect. General Wood is an outstanding man, and yet he is democratic in his manner and tastes. For us, Theodore Roosevelt was the highest expenment of the Americans in having the convictions of justice, and the courage to express the conviction. He was the most cordial and personable friend of the dore Roosevelt, and the world knows that Roosevelt, wasted no time with trimmers or fine friends. - General Wool is being proposed for the presidency by his friends as true Blue American, and in that light he stands "heaped up" in the measure. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1920 GOV.BICKETT SAYS RACES SHOULD NOT By Associated Press Press RAHLEY N., N. Co. Jan. 22—Celebrating the 57th anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, the Negroes of Raleigh in the city auditorium adopted resolutions calling upon the members of the page to quality, to vote and use the ballot, and memorializing Congress for a Federal investigation of race riots and for an act making lynching a capital crime punishable by the United States government. Governor Bickett, closing the ceremonies with an address, talked plainly to the Negro assembly, congratulating the race upon its achievements, warning it against entry into North Carolina Politics, and nixing self-control. Rev. 8. A. Howell, a banker and greeter of Newport News, preceded Governor Bickett, and declared that the trouble with American Negro in that he will not accept honest Negro leadership. Shame and fear instead of hatred, said the speaker: is the attitude of some of the white race in the face of the remarkable achievements of the Nex- go in the last three hundred years. Nine-tenths of the litchies, he attribu- ted to the lower elements of both races. Social equality, he maintained, is not the aim of the Negro unite the abolition of the Jim Crow tar and the removal of the segregation line can be termed social equality. Speaking of the future, the Negro minister declared that the time will come when white men will vote for Negroes and Negroes will vote for white men, not because they are white or black, but for the good of the common country. The speaker made an urgent appeal for the cultivation of a higher respect on the part of the Negro for the women of the race. Governor Bickett attributed the progress of the Negro race to its good teachers, the Southern whites, and to its own antithesis. "Eternal obedience is the price of life," was a principle that the Governor or set forth and illustrated in the decline of the Indian race and the growth of the Negro. The Indian that ramed it will and covered the country three hundred years ago, the governor pointed out, "refused to obey the law, declaring that he was a law unto himself, and now the Indian is reduced to a mere handful, and the Negro three hundred years ago numerically in the same proportion, now is numbered by millions. "The whole world is run by law," said the Governor. "The man or race black or white, that sets itself against the laws of God, the laws of health, the laws of man, is simply courting destruction for it will be ground into powder." "I'll tell you what I want," said the Governor; "I want to fulfil the requirement made by Lord God Almighty as stated in the prophet Micah: What does the Lord require of them? To do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with the God." The invincitor announced his indulgence of a great teacher's training school, for the Negro race to compare favorably with the white schools at Greenville and Greenboro a reform hospital for Negro tuberculosis; better schools, and longer terms; and better accommodations on trafa. "But we might as well settle this point on 'he brah communicating on the train accommodations.' "It is not for your good, the good of your people or the good of mine, that they should ride in the same coaches. "I am opposed to that." But the Governor insisted that the Negro ought to have decided. "African men get those decent ties." Be afraid. "It is up to you to keep them decent." "The greatest blunder the Negro of North Carolina can make at this time, he said, is to get into politics. I have seen it under both realms, before 1900 and after 1900 and the most remarkable progress of the Negro has been since 1912. "I can't go before the legislature and get these things done," he said, referring to his endorsement of needed institutions for the race. "If the vry of the Negro in the saddle in politics is now trained in North Carolina, do not throw away this stretch your opportunity up the race to claim it for your own." RALEIGIL N. C. Jan. 21 - The determination of Governor Bickel of this state, in run down the recent incarceration, in the governor's office, in armed public punishment in order to foregone anything known to the governor. Bickel is determined to demonstrate to the world, that there is one governor of a Southern state who is resolved to stop training his state and uphold the majority of the law. The leading newspapers and the public at large are backing up the governor in his righteous crusade. There has been unequivocal in the velocity of the trapping since it has been burned that several operatives of the Keystone National Defense Agency of Chicago, IL are on the ground and are fighting to arrest the governor in order that the Keystone agency be arrested by Chicago people and the Keystone. A Bureauman, one of the United States government's trusted secret services man until recently. "To and from the conclusion, it is not known whether the Keystone apparatus white or Colored, but it has ```markdown ``` been learned on high authority, that they are open of long experience and who have an enviable record of getting results. The private message from the Chicago office by manager Irpusseau, states "We are sparing no expense in helping to ferre out the guilty lynchers, beheaded with backbone, and we know if the criminals are caught, they will get the kind of justice that will be an example for the entire nation." LAND VALUE IN GARY HAS BIG INCREASE (Associated, Negro Press.) CARY IND., Jan. 28. It is very natural that a city that has grown as fast as Gary must ever have a tremendous increase in land values. In contradistinction to Shakespeare's purse—twas something, 'tis nothing—the land on which Gary is created was nothing, is something. There was a time when you could buy and by the acre for the proverbial song, and sing it yourself, but today you buy it by the foot, and pay for it in gold that dazzles the eyes. And land values are ever 'up going, up. If in buying conditions are acute in other places in this fair hand, they are terrific In Gary. The man who figures on moving there with his family also figures on buying and building a home, for the two go hand in hand. But the man is benefited, and so as the family and the community. There is always a job for the man if he can find a place to live. Thousands live in surrounding towns, while hundreds live in Chicago and go to Gary every day. store of our people own homes in Dary to the square inch than in any other community in the country. There is one citizen of Gary who is more responsible for that than any other; he is David Gluck, a white citizen, who was one of the pioneer residents of the community. Through his efforts, hundreds of people have been able to secure homes for themselves. He has been working on a plan by which if carried out, his work already known as the city of justice and opportunity, will become the new mecca for the people of our group that will make the rush to the Alaska gold fields seem like a funeral procession. Since the steel strike there have been thousands of foreigners who had "folded their tents like the Arabs and quietly stole away." Their places are being filled with workers from our group, and the demand for exceeds the supply. The community at large is kindly and cordially disposed to our workers. The school system of Gary has an international reputation for efficiency. The workers make from eight to thirty two dollar per day. They are used in places requiring real skill, and they are building up a wonderful name for the Race. Plan to Establish Negro Community Center Near Raleigh, N. C.
