CITIZENS LIBERTY LEAGUE APPROVED BY THE PARTY LEADERS IN CONFERENCE Mayor Says "You Are Entitled To All You Have Asked For. You Are Going To Get The Recognition Because They Cannot Keep It From You." COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED ONLY JUST COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED ONLY JUST Right Of Representation In Party Councils Is Conceded. Race Is Entitled To Jurymen, Uniform Policemen, Firemen and Officials In Prect. Polling Places. The conference of members of the Citizen's League, members of the Republican City Committee, and state officials, and leading politicians was held at the headquarters of the Republican City Committee in the Odd Fellows' Building Saturday night. January $1. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Kiel, who stated that he was acting in the place of the president, who was ill and unable to attend. After brief remarks by President Lloyd of the League, the first speaker, Attorney Homer G. Phillips, was introduced. Want Honest Elections. Mr. Phillips stated in logical and forcible terms the objects of the conference. He said, "We are Republicans directing our complaint to Republican. We desire to have honest elections and even in the last election, votes cast for certain candidates had not been counted as cast but had been transferred to the candidate opposing the one for whom Negroes had voted. Mr. Phillips also made a plea for participation in party councils; any party should right, as voters, to representation in the councils which selected the candidates for whom we were expected to cast votes, and if this was done we could at that time voice any protest we might have for any person named candidates, and would have apportioned the votes as to a square deal for the Negro, in the event of election. He also spoke briefly concerning representation in the police and fire departments. The speaker dramatically asked, "Why are we not entitled to one-sixth representation in the convention that nominates the candidate that we must vote for! There are 73,000 Negro voters in the state, there will possibly be 175,000. including women, by next year, any party has made provision for every group but ours, and we cast more votes than any other single group in the party. "We are not asking you to pledge or promise anything: we do not want either; we want a correction of the conditions to which we think we are entitled. "The question is: if we put up a candidate, as is our right, in the Republican Party, if we submit a candidate, we want to know if it is the Republican Party to see that Negro wards are approved? We simply ask your cooperation to help us clean up fraud where it is rampant, and because it is happening in Negro wards and precincts it is permitted to go on." Mr. Phillips said he did not hold any one individually responsible for the existing fraud and dishonest elec-tions. He cited glaring dishonesty practiced by the judges and clerks who investigated the groes and said if Negro officials had been in the polling places the votes would have been counted as cast. "You stopped the fraud in the white press. We ask you to stop it in the Negro ones. If it hurts some one in high position, we can't help that. The world moves on and we want to move with it." Not After Jobs. Attorneys George L. Vaughn was the next candidate said. We have come to lay before the candidates who are powerful, four new positions. We are not asking for jobs or anything of that sort. We came to get together on big principles. "We want honest elections in wards where Negroes live. They have not been honest and to say the least our people are very much dissatisfied. We Negroes on jurisprudence and the moral and social city, cared for, I am going to tell you how we feel about it and hope to find out how you feel. We are determined to change these conditions and we desire to change them with the aid of the Republican Party, but we are determined to change them. "If we had more representation in the party councils, by canable men in the group, would not be forced to be involved and then be accused of not stifling to the party. There are some men who can run for governor or senator on any ticket who the Negroes will not support. "As for jury service: We have Colored men who are honest, reliable and home owners and should be trusted. Judge Cohn is interested in say that A. E. Habone and W. E. Officer." The St. Louis Argus have been placed on the present grand jury list and approved. Want Uniformed Policemen. Mr. Vaughan also spoke on civic and moral conditions, the bad sanitary and moral conditions, the bad sanitary and moral conditions where Negro lives, and asked Negro uniformed policemen be placed in those districts, and "We will help them clean it out." One.Negro policeman can find out more in one hour than twelve whites can in a day. Nat Goldstein, clerk of the Circuit Court, said, "I feel that nothing has been asked for here tonight that I do not absolutely agree with." Prosecuting Attorney Howard Sidener said he was "pleasantly surprised" and very glad he attended the conference. "It is only just and right for us to recognize these gentlemen." Sidener spoke in high praise of the plain clothes special officers and said plain police officers are fearless, tireless workers and new fear 16 enter the gravest danger." Committeeman Robert Moore blamed the lack of Colored election judges and clerks on the Election Commissioners and that he had refused to name officials for certain precincts because the Commissioners had refused to appoint Colored men. Committeeman At this point Mayor Kial turned the chair over to Collector Kevin, as he had another appointment, but before leaving said, "If I knew of any one who was guilty of assisting in fraudulent voting I would prosecute them. The Republican organization will be with you on anything that is right." The mayor also declared that nothing the commissioner were not entitled and "you are going to get the recognition because they can't keep you from it. If you've got votes enough to elect a math, you ought to do it": The mayor also said he and the party machine would absolutely stand behind the Colored judges and clerks in the fight against asking the Election Commissioners to have Colored men placed in the pre-clective voting blocs. Mr. Koen said the league should feel proud of its speakers and that he was willing to go the route and give them everything that was right. He said, "You have not asked for anything to which you are not entitled." Referring to the jury selections, Judges Kimmel, Calhoun, Shields, Klein and Krueger all favored Colored men and advised the league to take the matter up with the Board of Jury Supervisors. When the question of a delegate at large from the Twelfth District was discussed, Committeemen Slater, of the Seventeenth Ward, and Moores, of the selection, Mesura, Schuler, of the Sixth and McKelvey, of the Seventeenth, were absent. Schuler is sick, W. H. Parker, a Negro juritor who was present by courtesy of the committee, attempted to represent McKelvey, but was disqualified by the chairman. Committeeman Goldstein, of the Nineteenth Ward, was asked to favor Colored delegate in the Eleventh District. Says Wm. H. Butter Auked to be Alternate. Mr. Goldstein admitted the question was a ticklish one for him, as he was a candidate himself and he had promised to support a white woman for the other delegate. He cocholided by saying, "Col. Wm. H. Butler," president of the Missouri Negro Republican Association, was asked that he be sent as an alternate to the jury needed to do what I could for him." Weinbrenner Favora Two. Sheriff Weinbrenner said, "As far as I am concerned, you may have two Colored delegates in the Eleventh and two is the Twelfth. I tried 30 years ago to get Colored men in the fire department." Assistant City Counselor Killeen Leppert, who presented league arguments, and they were not unreasonable. He also favors uniformed Colored police. Attorney Edward Foristal closed the conference with a climax, saying, "I see nothing that they ask that they are not entitled to. I think these men have asked for things that you are going to give them. If, I can be of any service I shall be glad to render it. I have colored men were on the books who are not supposed to be Henry Lamm would have been governor today. A man should not be put on the ticket who is objectionable to the Caliber voters." 15 TO 25 NEGROES ARE DROWNED IN A "JIM CROW" CAR 15 TO 25 NEGROES ARE DROWNED IN A "JIM CROW" CAR CLAYTON, La, Feb. 4.—Two white trainmen known to have been killed and from 15 to 23 Negroes are believed to have met their deaths in the wreck here 'yesterday of a' St. Louis, iron Mountain-&'Southern passenger train, open drawbridge over the Tahona Hite. The coach set ashes for Negro passengers was the only one to go through the draw, which was open to allow the passage of a steamboat and tow. The coach is reported under 50 feet of water and none of the bodies of the engineer did not see the sleeper set against crossing the drawbridge. Published In The Interest Of Colored People J.N.McKELVEY DODGES THE CONFERENCE Is Represented By Colored Janitor, Whom The Chairman Refuses To Recognize City's Highest Officials Meet The Citizens Liberty League Executive Committee. Jan. N. McKelvey, Republican Committeeman of the Twenty-third Ward, and Commissioner of Public Safety, did not attend the Citizens' Liberty League Conference. Ocala last Saturday night. Although Mayor Kiel, Collector Koeln, Circuit-Court Clerk Goldstein, four Circuit judges, members of the City Central Committee, other high officials and recognized Republican leaders were present; McKelvey was absent. Questions of vital importance to our racial group were considered with results satisfactory to the League's representatives, but the opinions of James McKelvey were unsatisfactory. Represented by Janitor. When the question of supporting a Colored delegate from the Twelfth Congressional District to the Republican Convention in Chicago came up, Wm. H. Parker, head janitor of municipal buildings, a Colored man, arose to speak as McKelvey's representative, but was told by Chairman Koeln that Mr. McKelvey had been invited to be present and Parker could not be present. The highest officialitative Election Officials imported. Election Officials important. One of the questions which the League had hoped to hear McKelvey and his precept polling places. Only one precept, the Ninth, in the Twenty-third ward, has Colored-election officials. The tenth is almost entirely made up of Colored voters. In fact, the only whites in the precept, are the ones on the north side of the 4100 block on Enright, who are fighting Negro "invasion," and a half a dozen Republican judges and clerks should be Colored, but only whites are being permitted to serve. Another precept, the Eighth, is entitled to a fifty-fifty representation, but the officials are all white. Makes Promise to Employees. The Citizens' League would like to have gotten McKelvey's opinion on Colored men in the fire department, which he is the official head. It has him the man of the League has probed him on the subject, he has told the Missouri Negro Republican Club that he would "have a 'Colored Fire Company organized within six months.'" The voters know, however, that this promise is only made to an organization of city employees who are not in a position to make demands or insist upon promulgation fulfilled. Their only privilege is handed to them. McKelvey's failure to meet the Citizens' Committee, as did his other political associates, has placed him in discredit with the mass of voters represented. OLD GUARD GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT The "Old Guard" in the Twenty-third Ward, known as Jim McKelvey'senchmen, went down to bitter defeat, last week when it made a vault attempt to reclaim the lost prestige of its "boss" by making a false attack on the Argus. The "guard" pretended to have a tip that The Argus going to print an article uncomplimentary to the people of the neighborhood, and used all its tricks to stir up animosity. The effort was futile and died an unignominous death after the issue of the paper. It was a hard trick to the bunch to lose, and the wall of defeat is still faintly heard. WEST BELLE SCHOOL OPENED MONDAY The public school in the 3000 block on West Belle opened Monday, and the children were given a "Fifth" lecture and "dismissed." Miav Florence J. Robinson was also appointed principal and kindercurien direptresse.-Miss Nellie C. Consella Mansifee, A. Scott and A. Powies, assistants. INFORMATION WANTED.

GOVERNOR SAVES NEGRO FROM A MOB FRANKFORT. Ky. Feb. 5-The courageous action of Gov. Edwin P. Morrow, early today in meeting and dispersing a mob of hundreds of men determined upon the lynching of Will Luckett, a returned Negro soldier, who is said to have confessed to the brutal 20-year enemy Devina Hardman, quoted by the police several hours before the night threatened to get beyond control of the authorities. Luckett had been, rushed to the Frankfort Reformatory from the Nicholson jail to escape a mob at that point. Hundreds of men organized at Frankfort to Frankfort by automobile and interurban to Gov. Morrow, while attending a legislative committee meeting at 11 o'clock last night. Was apprised of the coming of the mob. All guards and police available were quickly thrown about the reformatory and deputies were sworn in. The governor ordered the men off on the interurban lines, preventing the major portion of the mob from quickly reaching the state capital. Gov.

He assured the members would be done through the due process of law, and ordered the mob to disperse. ANOTHERROUSING MEETING HELD BY LIBERTY LEAGUE Next Affair Will Be At The El Bethel Church On Athlone Street, Near 5800 N. Broadway. Admission Free. Last Monday night, the Citizens Liberty League held an anointing mass meeting in the spacious auditorium of the Gilletts Baptist Church, Dr. M. Oceans pastor, Adams street and Ewing avenue. At an early hour, the audience gathered to hear the program, which was made up of speakers with convincing arguments, filled with solid thought, and who dealt with political conditions as concern the Negro. Great enthusiasm was in evidence throughout the meeting. Psychology of the Negro Is Changing Attorney D. W. Bowles, secretary of the Citizens League, was a speaker, who was frequently interrupted by loud applause, when he told his audience of the many unrighteous principles for which the Citizens Liberty League not stand. He said, "The Uncle Tom has not uset; the psychology of the Negro is changing. Whig he stood for two years ago in double submission, he will not tolerate today, and you will find him raising up, protesting, with undue courage and manhood, against all forms of injustice." The League Appeals To Right-Thinking Citizens With only two meetings held of the thirty two, which are scheduled for the various wards of the city, pleasing results have been obtained. The call to the tank and file who have pledged allegiance to the movement, as a matter of fact, has done much in the way of commending the Citizens' Liberty to the favor of the serious thiefs of this city, has been the means of establishing, for the first time, in the history of St. Louis' politics, a purely racial organization, that is destined to actively and uselessly promote the best interests of the Negro: being unalterably opposed to unsound policies. Citizens of Sedalia Catch Spirit of the St. Louis Organization Mr. Dan B. Jones, of Selahla, Mo., who is president of the Citizens' Liberty League of that town, was among the speakers. His mission to this city was to confer with leaders of the St Louis League; ascertain their plan of production; and would be united for the same cause. Llew, D. L. Reed, of Washington, B. C., national instructor of the Race Congress; Mrs. Fannie McDonald; Attorney K. N. Owens; Rev. W W Perry; Attorney George H. Phillips and J.-K. Mitchell, organizer of the Citizens Liberty League, made addresses, emphatically declaring, in now, the Negroes want fair treatment, affair in the courts, the right to sit on juries; more, fair play, and that they do not want any more discrimination or segregation. Next Monday night, Feb. 9, another meeting will be held by the Citizens Liberty League at E. Belt Bald Rap. W W Perry, pastor. Every one is invited to attend. Get off at 1000 North Broadway and walk one block east to the church. WHITE PRESBYTERIAN TO SPEAK ON "SQUARE DEAL FOR THE RACE" WHITE PRESBYTERIAN TO SPEAK ON "SQUARE DEAL FOR THE RACE" The Rev, Dr. C. H. Miller, one of the general officers of the Presbyterian Church will speak on Sunday afternoon, February 5th, 5:30 on, a square deal for the Colored people, politically, industrially and religiously. Come and hear what a white man from the South calls a "square deal" at Boreen Presbyterian Church, 2027 First St. NO DEMOCRACY IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 2. The Negro has been in this country as long as the Anglo-Saxon elite man. He has helped in proportion to his numbers to make it the great and powerful nation that it is. He pays taxes, he obeys its laws, he shields his blood to defend it. Yet the Negro is denied his civil rights almost everywhere in the United States, does not enjoy the liberty he as earns. The crisis has come to the Negro in the United States, must demand his rights. He must fight for them. He must appeal for aid to the millions of white men in America who love justice enough to give the Negro his due. Foregoing is the gist of a speech entitled "Agitation the Social Lever of the World," made by Neville H. Thomas, teacher of Greek and Roman history in Dunbar High School, at a meeting in Plymouth Congregational Church. Discusses President's Attitude. The attitude of President Wilson toward the civil status of the noncitizen was sharply criticized by the General Hurrieson as the "ignorant autocrat of the Post Office Department, said to have some interest in a peaage farm in Texas," and who exorcified Attorney General Palmer and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. "Discrimination is being practiced against the Colored man in America today by everybody from President Woodrow Wilson," said Mr. Thomas. "We have got to regard without thought of personal sacrifice in order to win justice. Remember, freedom through out history have won no rights with out fighting for them. "The business of lynching Negroes in this country has got to be stopped, and it is going to be stopped. We must win the rights to patronize the best restaurants, theaters and hotels to enjoy the best transportation conveniences so we bear the stamp of inferior beings. And when you are considered an inferior man you invite lynching." Quote Senate Document Reading from Senate Document No 133, a communication sent to the 'capital' by the Attorney General on the subject of Negro radicalism, the speaker criticized that official for con- spiring as lawless those Colored people who hate, and for failing to prosecute the lawless mans that lynch Negroes. "Remember the Attorney General is your servant and mine. He wants to keep the Negro from hollowing when he is kicked." SHIP OWNED BY NEGROES, LOADED WITH WHISKEY IS SEIZED BY GOVT Vessel Cannot Sail for Havana and Liquor, Will Be Unloaded by Prohibition Officers. NEW YORK, Feb. 4. The Black stairship Vanquish which sailed to Havana last month with a $1800,000 cargo of whisky only to put back here for repairs, was seized by the Government yesterday. Supervising Federal Prohibition Inspector Shevlin formally notified the captain that the vessel could not depart and announced that he would begin unloading the ship for storage in bonded warehouses. Counsel for the owners: a corporation composed of Colored men, announced that he would apply to the Federal Court for an injunction. Capt. Cochburn, the Negro master, said that when the ship sprang a leak off the New Jersey Coast, after it sailed a vessel went into effect, the 500 cases of whisky were thrown overboard to right a heavy board list. MISSISIPPI UNION OBJECTS TO NEGROES JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 4 — Trouble is brewing in the unit, the labor organizations, in Mississippi, and withdrawal of membership from the American Federation of Labor it is said is its prospect because of the activity of the latter body. In forming labor unions among Negroes in this state... When the Mississippi branch of the Federation of Labor held its annual convention here, a goodly number of delegates were astonished to find twenty or more Negro delegates it attendance to, and to present to the committee of candidates plasterers, briefers, laveries, etc. in the principal cities of the state. It is said that these labor unions were formed by national organizers from other states representing the American Federation of Labor, were working in Mississippi without assistance or consent of the state organization. What took place in the secret or executive sessions of the Federation has not been made public, but from reliable sources it is learned that some very salty speeches were made on the subject, and that the delegates in withdrew their unions from affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. "But we must make it clear to the world that we don't want social association. We want the white man to know that we have no desire to marry his daughter or visit him, as one white man with another, in his home. As I see we don't want social association. We want to cooperate with the white citizen in cooperating America "a real democracy. Just plain justice is all we ask." In conclusion the speaker bitterly assailed race segregation in the government departments. The exclusion of Negroes from the government navy and military academies was a target for red hot rhetoric. "Yes, despite President Wilson's bombast on democracy, he finished," we have none here. M. Kendrick a deacon in the church, presided, and made a brief address supporting the attitude of the principal speaker. From the Washington Evening Star A resolution was adopted and sent to President Gompers, requesting that in the future Southern labor leaders be allowed to handle Southern questions in their own way, and that organizers who are not familiar with problems in the South be kept away from this section. WHEELER APPOINTED DEPUTY MARSHAL I. F. Wheeler, 317 S. 23rd St., has been appointed a deputy marshal to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Clarence Flemming, Mr. Wheeler, to the position of the Men's Self-Help Association of which Robert T.

This list of deaths among Colored people is the longest that has been recorded since the influenza epidemic started in the fall of 1918. CENSUS TAKERS FIND MAN 112 YEARS OLD LURAY Va. Feb. 24-Jesse B Martin, census enumerator for Luray has discovered perhaps the oldest person in Virginia. He is Frank Veney a Colored man, who says he was born in 1801. Persons living in Page County say it is known that Veney was a man of perhaps to years of age in 1849, this being the year in which the New Market Superville turnpike was built. During the boom, the highway tree was blacksmith and kept in repair tools used on the roads. This would show him to be between 410 and 112. The veteran is still the picture of health, his long, flowing white locs attesting his great age. The old man says he remembers distinctly when, as a boy, he was one of a shipboard of Negroes who embarked from some foreign port. He says he langed in New York and that the cold weather caused him to come South. He finally arrived in Mississippi. In later years, he says, he met Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy. As time passed, he married a woman in this country. He has been married five times, he says, and that his last wife is still living in Massachusetts.

Arm us with zealous care, To make him know his place, And O thy servant Lord prepare To rule the "Negro Race." Help us to rob and cheat. The "migrants" on the sly. Assured if they don't vote for us, They shall forever die. Rev. Perry further said, we are not engaging or pleading for political recognition because we have done great things in this our great commonwealth, neither because we have just emerged from slavery, or because of our color. No! but because we are men in the great sense of the word, and are demanding that that any citizen is entitled to, and that is our political rights. Therefore we are going to push our claim to the mistreatment, and if denied, will demand the reason why. We appear first to God the Creator of all men, then to the home, school and pulpit to do their part, for it is ours to shame the destiny of our children by the help of God the Father of us all. MT. PLEASANT BAPTIST CHURCH 4817 N. Broadway The Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church held its regular services Sunday. The Pastor Rev. S. Walker preached a splendid sermon from St. Luke 14, subject, "Strive to enter in at the Straight Gate." Rev. James was also present and gave some encouraging remarks. Everyone went home rejoicing. LAWLESS CONGREGATIONAL The Lawless Congregational Church administered the regular monthly commission Sunday and a splendid audience participated. The spirit throughout the service was exceedingly reverent. The pastor showed a similarity of the "Pascal Feast" of the Jews to that of the "Lord's Supper" as celebrated by Christians and emphasized the greater significance of the latter. The "Over the Top" Bible School placed much stress on the sacredness of power and the imperative need of mope missionaries in the field who will safeguard their Holy influence and convert those who would exploit their God-given gifts. Visitk this Bible School next Sunday at 10 o'clock and you will get a vision of the large task that laymen can do. Visitors last Sunday were: Messrs. C. H. Moseley, Frank Young, C. H. Gorch and Misses Holmes and Johnson. The pastor will preach on "The World's Greatest Gift". A treat awaits you, come early. FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH Garrison and Lucas Avenues. The Soul-saving Campaign is, still under way at the First Free Baptist Church and the Lord has blessed our efforts. We have 9 candidates for Baptism, thirteen new members have been added to the church.

(Copyright, 1830, Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 8 PETER AT LYDDA AND JOPPA: LESSON: TEXT-Acts 8:21-24 GOLDEN TEXT-The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up-James Bib. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL - Luke 5: PRIMARY TOPIC - Was a Woman Wom- A 7 Per Cent Income You Can Rely On JUNIOR - TOPIC - What Peter Did at Liddie and Joppa Lynds and Joppa INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC: The Beauty and Influence of an Unsettish Life. In order to grasp the significance of this lesson, we should recall the condition which prevailed in the church as suggested in verse 31. Three characteristics are outstanding: Right now many wise old investors are playing safe. They are selling industrial shares that have been paying them more than 7 per cent dividends during the flush times. They are putting their money into good bonds and preferred stocks that pay less, but are more oe tain to pay it regularly. 1. Freedom From Persecution. Saul, the ringleader of the persecuting forces, had just recently been converted, thereby disorganizing their forces, allowing the church to enjoy a breathing spell. This period of rest did not result in its growing tasy, indifferent, worldly, and forgetful of God, but in growth in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. 2. Spiritual Growth and Development. You can rely on the 7 per cent dividends of Union Electric preferred stock. For this reason we recommend it to our customers, and especially to small investors who need every dollar their savings can earn, and who cannot afford to risk a loss. The real meaning of the word "edified" is "builted up." This does not mean merely that the members were being instructed and comforted, but that strenuous efforts on the part of the individual members, as well as the body as a whole, were being made for the advancement of the divine life. The word "edify" contains the metaphor of some grand building or structure. As suggested by another, this metaphor involves (1) a foundation. This is Jesus Christ—no other dare be laid (1 Cor. 3:12-16). (2) A continuous progress. This means that a Christian's activities are purposeful and that the work he undertakes moves forward with the proper progress. (3) Persistent effort. This means that the present day's work begins the foundation upon which tomorrow's work must be built. Thus day by day his life is being raised higher and higher, as each separa e round of material is being laid by strenuous efforts. (4) A completion. Finally the work is done, the building is completed, the top stone is brought forth and placed. The State of Missouri, having appraised this property, and having authorized issuance and sale of this stock, for necessary, income-producing additions to Union Electric's system, obligates itself to approve rates which will protect the dividend. Each $100 share pays $7 a year in cash dividends—$1.75 every three months. It is not a get-rich-quick dividend, but YOU CAN COUNT ON IT COMING REGULARLY. TERMS: $100 a share for cash; $102 a share on a ten-payment plan, under which buvers draw 5 per cent interest on installment payments, and can withdraw all payments, WITH INTEREST, any time before final installment is paid. SALES OFFICES: Room 201 Union Electric Building, 12th and Locust Streets, St. Louis, and Union Electric's office in Franklin, Jefferson, Perry, St. Charles and St. Louis Counties. Building up within the church causes the whole work to be admitted and respected by those without inducing them to come and identify themselves with the cause. There can be no forward movement without unless there be a corresponding movement within. Our lesson today is the record of two stupendous miracles. They are the greatest signs wrought since the day of Christ. The dreadful malady of palsy is vanquished, and a corpse is reenanted by the departed soul. The occurrence here of this miracle is in keeping with the movements of the church at this time. The Lord had promised these signs as they went forth with the gospel message. They were given as encouragements to the disciples, to convince them that the gospel did not lose any of its power by being spread, but rather that its power increased. As the church goes everywhere preaching the Word there will be a corresponding manifestation of power. I. The Healing of Ephesus (vy; 32-35). This man's needy condition appealed to Peter, just as men today should appeal to us in their semi-dead state. Like his Master, Peter could not refuse the needed help. In this he did not direct attention to himself, but confidently appealed to the power in the name of Christ: "Jesus Christ healeth thee." The man who had kept his bed for eight long years immediately grose and made his bed. When the Lord heals it is done instantly, Peter wisely kept this miracle from being the end by making it the means to the end. That end was the preaching of the gospel. This brought most gratifying results, for all that dwell in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord." FUN FOR ALL II. The Raising of Dorcas (vv. 36-43): ```markdown ``` This woman was full of good works and alma-deeds which she did, not talked of doing. She was a practical Christian woman of the kind that gets down to the practical way of showing her love by doing acts of helpfulness. Her death was a real loss, as was epidemic by the recurring of those who had been killed. When this good woman fell sick and died the disciples sent for Peter. Peter put them all forth. At his command her soul came back to live in her body. This again caused them to believe on the Lord. Read the Bible and Think Read the Bible and Think.

Open Daily at 10 a.m. SUNDAY, FEB. 8----HARRY CAREY in His Best Western Roll "The Ace of The Saddle" Also 2 part Rainbow Comedy with Charlie From Orient, in "All For The Dough" Taggart Harfgraves, St. Louis Star Dancer, Makes Big Hit. Taggart Harfgraves, a St. Louis boy, opens the show at the Booker, Washington Theatre this week with a dancing act that measures up to the beat before the public. Taggart was a star, in his line, while a soldier, France, and he is giving St. Louis Theatre goes the plank which won him the prize. There is hardly any angle known in the art of back dancing that this young man has not at his command in addition to a number of innovations of distinctly individual offering. His waltz-back and pianoback are feature hits. In the latter he plays the piano and dances at the same time. The audience appreciates his work and awards him with generous applause. House and House come next with a repertoire of songs, witty sarcasms and eccentricities which keep the patrons in a ticklish mood. Clifford Ross, a comedian of the stellar class; is a humorous oddity. Ross has a monologue on his tight-fitting Palm beach suit which is a comedy that takes the patrons from the time he enters and keeps up the commotion until his final burlesque of the popular song "The Vamp." Dick and Dick close the show with an act that goes big because of a humorous dancing set-to by a coy young miss and a frisky but rheumatic old man. The female is a good dancer and makes a big hit by the vivacious manner in which she demonstrates the latest dance craze. The act closes strong, leaving the audience in a roar of laughter. NEXT WEEK. Next week will see an assembling of old favorites at the P.W. any one of which is a feature attraction. On the bill will be The Kinky Doo Trio of Girls, featuring the original "Kinky," "Original Rags," the extemporaneous comedian; Madamoselle Wesley Carter the popular comedienne, and Rockpile and Davis, with the inimitable "Buster." These performers do not need an introduction. The Typhoon fans which are used at the Booker Washington Theatre to cool the house in the summer, are being utilized now to purify the place during the influenza epidemic. This is accomplished without any discomfort to the patrons, and the entire atmosphere in the Theatre is changed every few minutes, making the building one of the most sanitary in the city. Prince Norman, formerly of 3419 Lawton avenue, is a member of the Pop Camels Company in Los Angeles, Calif., and is starring in all of the productions. "A Virtuous Tumor," in which Constance Tulmidge makes the use of a winsome girl who innocently makes all men fall in love with her, will be seen at the Jest-A-Mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday. In this production Miss Talmadge takes the part of a girl-whose winning smile and coquettish habits, involve her in all manner of ludicrous escapades until she finds the one man who is proof against her wiles. The play is an adaptation from "The Bachelor" by Clyde Pitch. HART IN "JOHN PETTICOATS" AT THE PENDLETON Wm. Hart will be featured in "John Petticoats" at The Fendleton Theatre this Sunday and Monday. He is entertaining an admiring audience of lumberjacks with his terpischorean specialty when the news comes that he has inherited a modiste's shop in New Orleans. Then the fan begins, with Bill embarrassed to death among the lingerie and petty costs in his new business possession, but sticking it out with his signal doggedness and winning his heart's desire at the end. In one deliciously humorous accee he introduces his lumberjack dance in a fashionable southern ballroom and is nearly thrown out for his pain. Harry Carey in "The Ace of the Saddle," will be the feature at The Star Theatre this Sunday. The picture itself is replete with thrilla. To a wholesome, entrancing story of the old cattle rustling day has been added all the enchantment of the past. The story concerns a cattle harrow who lives the line between Yucca and Pinkerton County. The sheriff of Yucca was crooked. He was implicated in all the devilty that went on in the county. The sheriff of the adjoining county of Pinkerton was square dealing and straight shooting, and the inhabitants of Pinkerton were so orderly that the county finally became the easy-mark of the white-capped raiders of Yucca until—and so that until began the threads of a Harry Carey western. What makes a photoshop program satisfactorily complete is the belief of the management of the Comet Theatre is a good comedy. Therefore, on Sunday, February 5th, at an enormous expense, he has secured for their patrons the opportunity to produce it. It is entitled, "Twilight Baby," besides Him! Lloyd Hamilton as the star in the cast are numerous animals, wild and tame, who help in every respect to make your sides aha. The comedy is 1400 feet of film, or the hour's continuous laughter for young and old. On the same program for Sunday is W. R. Hart in another of his western interpretations entitled, "Tim Cameron's Wife." For Monday the program contains Bryant Washburn in "Why Smith Lost Home," very interesting for husbands as well as women.

The proposed league, which looked like a bloomer, seems now an assured fact, as Feb. 14-15 are dates set for a call of managers to meet in Indianapolis to discuss plans for the 1920 playing season. Every manager of the Colored clubs don't know whether they are "going or coming". If they have good men they cannot tell where they will be when the bell taps for the Spring games. The fight Hillsdale, Pa., brought on, the American Giants has worked havoc in semi-pro ranks. Everybody is snatching and grabbing for good men. The salaries offered, mean someone must suffer before the season of 1920 is over. The Argus re- The Beauty. The Charm. The Laughter Of The Play.

In part Mills said, "I have been, very sick and have not given baseball a thought until today. Yes, I have received a call for Feb. 14-15, at Indiana polls. If I am unable to attend, I will not volunteer. I am to represent our organization. The issue is something that is needed and I am strong for it; if nothing more than a working agreement among managers, St. Louis is having its troubles and I am sure that don't know where I am. "Hold-outs," can you beat it?" and we have a few of them. I don't want to go on record as saying we have the best paying club, but I do say that William Fox Presents Wm.

The most important of them will be the promotion of Richard Wallace from captain to playing manager of the local club.

Extensive travel and the study of mines under a great variety of conditions are often necessary," says an article in Boys' Life on "When You Grow Up—Mining / Engineer?" "One prominent engineer averaged 12,000 miles travel a year for 12 years, by steemship, horseback, snow shoe, and camel back, ranging from the arctics to the tropics. Even in ordinary conditions the mining engineer must stand the strain of irregular, food and sleep, hardship, hard work, and frequent danger. Health, energy, concentration, keen observation, strict honesty, and tact are qualities necessary to any real success. "The financial rewards of mining engineering compare favorably with other professions. While a young doctor or lawyer will be fortunate to get a living out of his work during the first two or three years, the mining engineer is practically assured of a salary at least sufficient for his support from the start. There is a demand for capable mining engineers and superintendents that know both the practical and technical details of mining. There is perhaps no field that offers better inducements to young men of intelligence, energy, and ambition. There are, of course, extremes of success and failure in this as in any profession. One large mining corporation engaged a prominent engineer for ten years at $100,000 a year. "The field of mining is so broad that the average man has no difficulty in finding congenial work in some of its numerous branches. The broad education of the well-trained mining engineer fits him to turn to the allied branches of chemistry, geology, metallurgy, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, so that he is a man of many resources. It is a profession which broadens the mind and gives opportunities for travel and profitable investment. The profession claims many men of the world-wide reputation. American mining engineers unquestionably take the lead in all parts of the world." Mother's Cook / Book Character is the result of the cultivation of the highest and noblest qualities in human nature, and putting those qualities to practical use - Ella Wheeler Wilson. Luncheon - Dishes. When you can't think of anything new for luncheon try Sardines on Toast. Put the sardines in a hot frying pan or griddle and heat through. Place them on hot, lightly buttered teast and serve with raw onion chopped fine. The onion may be put in lettuce leaves and granned around the plate. This dish will be found especially good for those whose appetites are jaded by the heavy food of winter. A pretty and good dessert is steamed rice surrounded by halves of canned pears with half a pecan meat in each center, with a syrup made of the pear juice with lemon and Canton ginger poured over the pears. Those who were fortunate enough to afford few cans of fresh raspberries, strawberries or currants, crushed and mixed with equal parts of sugar, can have many dainty, delicious and attractive desserts. Banana Cream. Slice three ripe bananas and put them through a riceer, mix with a cup of strawberries, which were canned fresh. Heap in sherbet cups and garnish with whipped cream mixed with some of the strawberry juice. Cabbage Salad Chop a small head of cabbage and two good flavored apples, a handful of rolled peanuts. *Shell the fresh, crisp nuts and roll them on the bread board with the rolling pin until like course crumbs. Serve with any desired dressing.* Sweetbread Salad. Parbole in calculated water a pair of sweetthreads, drain and lay for a few minutes in cold water. Dry well and mix with equal parts of finely cut celery, cut the sweetthreads in small bits, add a few walnuts and serve with mayonnaise dressing. A good substitute for mayonnaise may be made using corn oil. Orange Marmalade Sauce. Take three-fourths cupful of orange marmalade, one-half cupful of sugar, one-fourth cupful of water, boil five minutes, then chill. This sauce is delicious on ice cream. Nellie Maxwell Several cases of potioning, from potatoes, the most recent being in Leipzig, have been reported. Perhaps it is not generally known that the green parts of potion contain a poison called solanin, 0.2 grammies of which is sufficient to produce bad results. There is always a minute quantity of this solanin in potatoes, but when these are mature never, english do do harm, unless they have sprouted and the sprouts have not been removed before cooking.

Representation of the race for branch of Congress until a few years ago, the for North Carolina being the last colored days of Reconstruction. As a matter of general admission that these reread made a respectable record as members of themselves creditably in the routine duties, lowering the dignity of the office which through the suppression of suffrage in the Secession was broken and the race deprived in the Nation's councils. The strength of the Negro voters has been grown with such growth has developed a sentiment that may be regained through a wise use of the law; there is no new Congressional district, where votes to elect a candidate by themselves, for them to secure the party nomination, constitute a decisive factor and in this wise presentation. BUCKING A JUBOR TO FORGE CONVICTION: Being to a press report, a farmer on the acre in Louisiana failed to agree to a veto of Alvin Calhoun, a Negro who was charging white farmer, a mob publicly whipped them into a mudhole. The mud-covered juror returned to the court to a verdict of murder in the first degree to leave town by the citizens. The new way of doing things. This is a change we don't see why the judge did not have the indictment for contempt of court, unless he the mob.

NEN'S SUFFRAGE REJECTED IN MISSISSippi: General Women's Suffrage Constitutional Amendment by the lower house of the Mississippi legislature. Rattification argued that the amended women of the state a right to vote. Those law-makers represent the general property state, but we are wondering what do the awarenes of the fact that Mississippi is a hazer to keep the Negro down, the white people the laws have hindered the general property people, both white and black. The saying of the late Booker, T. Washington, said down in the ditch without staying down, would be good for door-posts, not only of the South, but the homes and the gate-piece dawning of a new day, and the onward like most people, were inclined to think would catch some of the spirit of the times, pretty racial jealousies, and devote her time active program. But the acts of the lower law-affirmment, show that the progress of the Mississippi. Almost fifty years ago, to be exact, on February 25, 1870, Hiram R. Revels was sworn in as United States Senator from Mississippi. A year later Jefferson F. Long was seated as a member of the House of Representatives from Georgia. Thus began the representation of the Negro race in the Congress of the Nation. These pioneers in legislation were rapidly followed by Turner of Alabama, Walls of Florida, De Large, Rainey and Elliott of South Carolina in the House and Bruce in the Senate. Representation of the race continued in the popular branch of Congress until a few years ago, the late George H. White of North Carolina being the last colored Congressman since the days of Reconstruction. It was a matter of general admission that these representatives of the race made a respectable record as members of the Congress, acquitting themselves creditably in the routine duties of legislation and in nowise lowering the dignity of the office which they held. It was only though the suppression of suffrage in the South that the line of succession was broken and the race deprived of the proper representation in the Nation's councils. But the strength of the Negro voters has been growing in the North and with such growth has developed a sentiment that a voice in Congress may be regained through a wise use of the ballot. It may be true that there is no use Congressional district, where the Negroes poll enough votes to elect a candidate by themselves. But it may be possible for them to secure the party nomination in a district where they constitute a decisive factor and in this way secure the desired representation. DUCKING A JUROR TO FORCE CONVICTION According to a press report, when a farmer on the trial jury a few days ago in Louisiana failed to agree to a verdict of guilty in the case of Alvin Calhoun, a Negro who was charged with slaying a young white farmer, a mob publicly whipped the juror and diced him into a mudhole. After this, the mud-covered juror returned to the jury room and agreed to a verdict of murder in the first degree. He then was ordered to leave town by the citizens. This is the new way of doing things. This is a mockery at justice. We don't see why the judge did not have the members of the mob indicted for contempt of court, unless he was in sympathy with the mob. This is another reason for the just complaint on the part of the Negro in the South, that he does not receive justice in the courts. When civilization in the United States descends to such a height that judges and jurors are intimidated to the extent that they fear to render a just decision when the rights of a certain group of its citizens are adjudicated, then if is time for the whole nation to be turned to that condition, and corrective measures vigorously enforced. WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE REJECTED IN MISSISSIPPI The Federal Women's Suffrage Constitutional Amendment has been rejected by the lower house of the Mississippi legislature by a vote of 106 to 25. Those opposing ratification argued that the amendment would give the Negro women of the state a right to vote. Perhaps those lawmakers represent the general feelings of the people of their state, but we are wondering what do the white women think. We are aware of the fact that Mississippi is a backward state and in order to keep the Negro down, the white people who make and execute the laws have hindered the general progress of the state and its people, both white and black. Like the saying of the late Booker T. Washington, "You cannot keep a man down in the ditch without staying down with him." This philosophy, would be good for door-posts, not only to the legislative halls of the South, but the houses and the gate-posts. With the dawning of a new day, and the onward march of civilization we like most, people, were inclined to think that even Mississippi would catch some of the spirit of the times, and forget some of the petty racial jealousies, and devote her time and endure to a constructive program. But the acts of the lower house in rejecting the suffrage amendment, show that the progress of time has no effect on the Mississippi.

DEAN PICKENS FINDS WHITES HAVE WRONG OPINION OF COLORED PEOPLE (Associated Negro Press.) NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 4—Interracial cooperation was the keynote of an address by Dean William Pickens of Morgan College, Baltimore, before the third annual meeting of the New Jersey Urban League for Social Service: Among Negroes at the First Presbyterian Church. Asserting that a wrong impression of the American Colored race had been created due to the propensity of many newspapers to link them with crime, Dean Pickens said: "It is possible to state facts and do it most viciously, and the newspapers have created a false impression of the black man, by identifying him with crime wherever possible. If John Smith commits a crime and he happens to be a Colored man, they print a headline. Negro commits crime. The man don't say, John Smith commits crime. The man doesn't say, Negro who committed the crime; it was criminal, and a criminal might be white or black. They don't identify W. SAMPSON BROOKS TO ENTERTAIN THE METHODIST BISHOPS BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 5—The bishops, general officers, and prominent ministers' and laymen of the African Methodist and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Churches will be here next week to attend the semi-annual session of the bishops of both denominations. The bishops of the A. M. E Zion Church will hold their session at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E Zion Church, the Rev. J. W. McCoy pastor. The church has been renovated throughout for the gathering. The New Bedfordist bishops will meet at Bethel Church. The edifice has been renovated throughout of about $14,000. Of the cost of the improvements, approximately $12,000 has just been raised by the Rev. W. Sampson Brooks and his members. Besides transacting business of general import to their respective denominations which has accumulated within the past six months, the bishops of the churches will joint session to consider questions of mutual interest. A feature of the gathering of the African Methodists will be the dedication of Bethel Church on Friday morning, February 13. Bishops C. S. Smith and Evans Tyrce will deliver special addresses. In the evening mortgages will be burned for the endowment of $70,000 that has been paid for Dr. Brooks has been pastor. DEAN WM. PICKENS JOINS STAFF OF THE N. A. A. C. P. DEAN WM. PICKENS JOINS STAFF OF THE N. A. A. C. P. Noted Orator Resigns as Dean of Morgan College to Devote Himself to Organization. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, announces that William Pickens is assigned as Dean of Morgan College to Association's staff and will devote his entire time to the organization of Negroes throughout the United States. No orator of the race is so well suited to Colored Americans as Mr. Pickens, the Newman of Anderson County, South Carolina, where he was born in 1883, he migrated to Arkansas with his parents in 1889 and entered the schools of North Little Rock in 1891. His oratorical ability was manifest at an early age as he was valedictorian of his class in the Union High School of Little Rock. During his time at The Talladega College, Alabama, he led in all his classes and won a number of oratorical and literary prizes. Upon his being graduated from Talladega, Mr. Pickens entered Yale University in 1902. NORTH CAROLINA WANTS GOV. BICKETT FOR U. S. PRESIDENT RICHMOND, Va. Feb. 4.—When the committee for consideration, during the discussion Governor Bickett, North Carolina, received high commendation for his course in the cases of the lynching of Colored people that state. President James W. Poe, who is a native of North Carolina, a Republican and a former member of its legislature from 1882 to 1885, said: "The president could have no better man for Congress than Governor Bickett. They are thousands of Colored men from the South now in the North, East and West, whose votes will count in the voting of the next President that would be cast for him. His anti-slavery record would bring them to him." He paid high compliment to Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, who he said, has established a factory of knitting, mills in which Colored women and men are said that he like the governor in the confidence of millions of Colored people all over the country. The committee opposed the effort being made to start a general exodus of people from this country to Africa, and to stop the exodus of Africa", as the promoters of the war in the paper they are publishing in this country. They also oppose the course of another organization which they establish an independent state for Greece in a territory which they. are seeking from Mexico and the State of Texas.

Dean Pickens said the Negro is the white man's best industrial ally, and that the war has set him 100 years ahead in that, respect. "The bar slinger of color," he said, "did more to set back the community than anything, and in evidence of this he said the deployable telephone services during the war could have been averted by utilizing the intelligent Colored positions available, but," he added, "they were still with the whole white race was eliminated for they would call upon the other race." If the Negro were given the same opportunities to become educated as other citizens, Dean Pickens' said, he could become a great asset to the nation, unlike the natives of many forestlands, who he now, he wants to make his habits and more of living the same as the white man's.

Leader of Oklahoma, has been chosen by an eminent French sculptor as model for his status of "the American fighting man." A brief resume of Leader's service in France amply warrants his designation as a "first-class fighting man" and his unmixed American blood justifies his selection as a typical American. There can be no question of America's pride in her aborigines, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Indian who was cordially hated by the pioneers and shamely despolved and exploited by the successors of the pioneers, has become in the present generation a popular, honored and justly respected citizen. He has proved his merit. Since the white man has ceased to accelerate his deterioration the Indian has ceased to be a "vanishing race." He has become an assertive citizen, standing on his own feet and making his own way. And when there was war the Indian of today fought with all the courage and grim determination of his painted ancestors. The French sculptor made a wise choice when he selected Private Leader as his type specimen of the American soldier. It is a fitting tribute to the red Americans who fought so valiantly for white civilization and no white American will begrudge the honor. 470,634 Boy Sons Raised $354,180,687 in U. S. Bonds The Boy Scouts of America has grown to a total membership of 470,034 since its organization mids years ago, according to a report issued recently. Of this number, 14,898 are scout masters and 17,384 assistants, white of the 60,351 troop committee and local council members all but 250 are unpaid volunteers. The scouts obtained 2,843,497 subscriptions in the five Liberty loan campaigns, amounting to $354,180,687, and war savings stamps amounting to more than $50,000,000. Nearly 100,000 scouts were awarded medals by the treasury department for their work. FACTS AND FANCIES Originality is nothing more than doing something which so far so one has thought of trying to do. There's nobody quite so busy as the man who doesn't want to do something else. It takes only about three weeks for a woman to learn to hate the bonnet she fell in love with at first sight. The Helm Our helm is given up to a better guidance than our own; the course of events is quite too strong for any helmsman, and our little wherry is taken in tow by the ship of the great Admiral which knows the way, and has the force to draw men and stages and planets to their good. - Emerson. JOIN THE LIBERTY LEAGUE Down With Fife and Up With Truth One of the biggest obstacles in promoting the cause of Race Adjustment, is the unending, relentless, diagnosing amount of plife, used by both sides, in various descriptions, laboring t find in discussing the issues at hand. The great, serious national movements of common workable field, are gradually helping to drive the stuff away, but there should be universal and concerted action in the efforts. "Some of the chief assortment of plife expressed by the whites is this: 1. "This is a white man's country. 2. "The Negroes want social equality." 3. "Do you want your daughter to marry a Negro? 4. "The Negro must keep out of politics." 5. "The Negro must be segregated." 6. "There is only one law for the un- mentionable crime." Some of the chief assortment of piff expressed by our group is this: 1. All white people are alike" 2. "I hate the sight of a white face." 3. "This is a hell of a country." 4. "If I only had my way I'd...." 5. "The South is rotten." 6. "Africa is nothing to me." All thoughtful people must agree, that these expressions from both groups are far fetched, and the plain result of prejudicial, unthinking minds. They do not represent fact, nor the real sentiment of either group. They are harmful statements, to be sure, and create more attention than deliberate, thoughtful expressions. It is not the purpose at this time to discuss, pro of con, the statements alluded to, for they are being discussed regularly by us and others. It should be determined by all who are anxious to be fair and square, that henceforth they will refrain from making extreme, and senseless remarks, or hold, to ideas or theories that, like the purse stealer, do not enrich, but make them poor indeed. The overwhelming trend of sentiment is for adjustment along sensible lines. Like married life, the problems of the races, are eternally a matter of adjustment, but it does not mean that hatred, and rancor, and potential murder are the basis of action. Let's play the game with our cards on the table, both groups of us, and not keep the aces up our sleeves; let's be frank and speak our "mind" but let's be reasonable and arbitrate the big differences. It is to the shame of our great country that we have blocked and pouted along until now, making faces, poking out our tongues at each other and cussing each other, but let's stop it, now, and get together. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER Nicholas Murray-Butler of New York will be presented as one of the Republican candidates for President. As a citizen who has made economic an political conditions an integral part of his career, Dr. Butler stands pre-eminent. In profession, Dr. Butler is an educator, and as President of Columbia University, New York City, has demonstrated executive capacity of an unusual degree. So far as our particular group is concerned it has always been known that Dr. Butler is dependable, and a strong advocate of equal and exact justice. He has convictions, and has always the courage to express them. In a recent address in Philadelphia, Dr. Butler boldly declared that the Republican party must set its house in order on complete adjustment of the problems of the races, before it may hope to maintain the lofty principles sacredly enunciated by its founders He deplored the manner in which Republicans have sidestepped the issues directly affecting us, and repudiated the deeds and methods of southern Deim orcats. Such a 'stand may hamper Dr. Butler in some centers, where the people fear to face burning issues, but he has gone on record, indifferent to this, and in the light of the new awakened conscience of the republic, has set a pace that all candidates must follow, and is a greater American because of his dauntless courage. MUSIC, SWEET MUSIC Newspaper accounts state that Lloyd George, Premier of England, had his first Jazz dance, in Paris recently, and liked it so well, he is going to keep it up if he has the time. The orchestra was American Colored players, and they sent the ripples of joy up the spinal column of brother George to such an extent, that he forgot all about the Irish question. When it comes to "stirrin" 'em up with music, we have the world beat a thousand miles. The world is just waking up to what we can do in this respect, and we must keep up with the world in big achievements. We are swaying our own continent with music of every description, and have done so for lo these many years. The metody of our music brings tears to the eyes, and the syncopated rythm has a kick in it for all. WHAT WE WANT (San Francisco, Cal, Call-Post) The Negroes have always fought in American wars. Negroes took the places of their masters in the Revolutionary War. Negroes fought on both sides in the Civil War, four Negro Regiments were the first to fight in the Spanish American war, and 342,277 Negroes were in our army in the recent war. The first two American soldiers decorated by the French were Negroes. New Negroes want a few of the privileges they deserve. They want universal suffrage, better schools in the South, their name spelled with a capital "N", equality in the courts, better housing and sanitary conditions for labor, reforms in their prisons, an equal wage, scale for white and black, the right to sit on juries, and more fair play in America. They do not want any more discrimination, or segregation, or slavery in the South, or lynching anywhere in the United States. Any white man who reads the Negro Year Book must admit that they have a fair claim on the granting of their demands. The people of the United States cannot consistently ask Freedom and equality for Czecho-Blovakov or any other oppressed peoples until they give it to the 10,000,000 Negroes in America. WANTA STAY HERE (Brooklyn, N. Y., Eagle) No, the Negro wants to stay where he is, and will stay if he gets the common rights of a human being, security of life and property, jury equality he is school equality. Social equality he is willing to wait for. On voting equality he is not insistent. He asks little. It is common sense for the Southern whites to muscle their mobsters and keep their cotton pickers. But that common sense is the most uncommon kind of sense is proverbial. A HOWL FROM THE SOUTH (High Point, N. C., Enterprise) There is little to recommend the proposal to create a separate state, under the protection of the United States, for the segregation of the Negro race. It is too fantastic, a dream. If the other section of the country would approach the Negro problem as we have in the South, there would be no problem. The Negro in the South is a fixture. He knows his place in the economic life of the South, and he knows his place is assured him as long as he adheres to the highest principles of citizenship. NO MICHIAGAN NEGRO SENATOB (Detroit, Mich., News) Was there ever a Negro senator from Michigan and if so, when did he serve? 8. M. Answer—No: the only Colored United States Senators have been Hiram R. Revels and Blanche K. Bruce, both of Mississippi, Joseph C. Ford, of Grand Rapids was known popularly as "Senator Joe" at Lansing, when he was for many years employed by the state Senate, and you possibly have reference to him. THE NEGRO There have been certain recent indications that this perennial problem may at any time again become acute. There are a score of useful books by white people, South and North, and by Negroes, which illuminate the problem, even when they do not try to solve it. Benjamin G. Brawley's "Short History of the American Negro" (Macmillan, 1913). Booker Washington's "Story of the Negro" (Doubleday 1909) and George S. Merlham's "The Negro and the Nation" (Hold, 1908) should serve for historical information, while "The Negro Year Book" (Negro Year Book Publishing Co.) is a reference book on Negro activities. The admirable books by Southern writers are Thomas Nelson Page's "The Negro; the Southerner's Problem" (Serbier, 1904) and Mrs. L. H. Hammond's, "In Black and White" (Bevell, 1914). From a South African point of view is Maundie E. Evans "Black and White in the Southern States" (Longman, 1915). One should not fall to see W. E. B. DuBois "The Souls of Black Folk" (McClurg, his "The Negro" (Holt, 1915); Booker Washington's "The Future of the American Negro" (Small, Maynard, 1900) and Kelley Miller's "An Appeal to Congenice" (Macmillan, 1918). Similar in their nature are Benjamin Brawley's "Your Negro Neighbor" (Macmillan, 1918), and his, "The Negro in Literature and Art in the United States." Duffield '83, A Legal work, perhaps more useful for reference than for continued readings is Gilbert T. Stephenson's, "Race Distinctions in American Law" (Appleton, 1910). CHICAGO, Jan. 28—Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, announces that the annual convention of the organization, to be held here February 11 and 12, will be the most significant political gathering ever held in behalf of our group. Col. Simmons has been in New York, Washington, Richmond, Cleveland, and other points throughout the country in the last month and declares that enthusiasm for the prospects of the League session is at the highest pitch. It is to be a session devoted to the industrial and economic outlook of our group in matters that may be worked out through political co-operation. The convention headquarters of the Lincoln League, 3333 South State St., Chicago, is a beehive of activity in pre-convention arrangements. The two big hotels of Chicago, the Hotel Vincennes and the Idlewild, are to be the centers of activity for the delegates, while the sessions will be held in the stately South Park Methodist Episcopal Church South Park Avenue and East 33rd Street. One of the added features of the convention will be the presence of women delegates. It is practically determined that women will have an opportunity to vote during the coming election. The Lincoln League with progressive alacrity issued a call for women delegates and large numbers of them from every section of the country are expected. One of the special features of the convention will be a special memorial program in honor of the patron saint of the organization Abraham Lincoln and connecting the memories of the past Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback will grasp the hand of progress through the league president Col. Simmons. Perry D. Howard of Jackson, Miss., one of the most active "do and dare" political leaders of the country, was in the city this week, as general counsel of the League, looking into matters concerning the program of the convention.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRI FEBRUARY 6, 1920 ONLY 85 OUT OF 6875 LAWYERS AGAINST THE FEDERAL LYNCH LAW PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 28.—In voting on what was apparently an anti-lynching resolution only 85 members of the American Bar Association have gone on record as opposing the principle that whatever force is necessary to maintain the supremacy of the law should be controlled and exercised by the Federal, State and municipal governments. This fact was brought out at a session of the Executive Committee of the association, meeting in the Bellevue-Stratford. There was submitted to the members of the American Bar Association for a referendum vote the following resolution: Whereas, the Constitution of the United States and the Constitutions of the several states contemplate government by and for all the people and not by or for any particular class, group or interest, now, therefore be it Resolved, that the liberties of the people and the preservation of their institutions depend upon the control and exercise by the Federal, State and municipal governments of whatever force is necessary to maintain at all hazards the supremacy of the law and to suppress disorder and punish crime. At developed at the only session that while there were 6,875-replies in favor of the resolution, there were only 85 against it. The names of the 85 dissenting members have not been made public.
