CENTRAL CIVIC LEAGUE REVIEWS THE STORK CASE An attempt was made by the Executive Committee of the Central City League to have the West End Business Association, et al., to submit to the Committee some facts concerning the Sharks after the club could have a working basis that they might assist them in their efforts to boy-cott Storks' for having attended a meeting of the so-called 'Delmar Wright protective' Association, at which efforts were made but no groes from buying property on Earright. Mr. T. Summytt, the secretary, stated that the Central Civic League was an organization that had for its purpose, the welfare of the race of the entire city, oting many instances in which they had achieved real results. He stated that the object of inviting the warring factions (including Mr. Storks), together to hear both sides of the controversy that the Department could recommend to their body what action to take in the case, Rev. N. L. M. pastor, pastor of Lane Tabernacle Church, stated that they of the West End could settle off with them. He failed to state what evidence he had that Storks intended the meeting, other than what appeared in the Globe-Democrat. Mr. Storks told the Committee that he was not at the meeting and was willing to do anything they would require of the evidence, saying he was properly informed of evidence to submit to the Central Civic League to show that he had been fair to the Colored race. Mr. Jas. W. Hutt, chairman of the Executive Committee, stated that their organization was fair and bubbled. If Mr. Storks was at the meeting, they would join the West End people in helping to put him out of business, but wanted facts first. Cleveland, Ohio Advocate, Seeds Greeting Imply And Admire b- voters in Missouri To Continue Political Fight F. CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 25—Missouri Colored voters demand for a delegate at large to the Republican National Convention became so insistent and bellicose that the white leaders were forced to take cognizance of it, and to call a conference of Colored and whites to thrash the matter out. Missouri Colored votes in the "shows" state "mighty good to the Republicans, when it might right side of the ledger, but should it, bookkeeping, get transferred to the wrong side of the ledger, it would play "hall Columbia" with Republican chances down there. We up in the state that old "Leathership," "Red Cloud," and sunny other "heap big injun cheek" used to use for a camping ground and a scalp cold storage house, and greeting us our brothers in Missouri and admire them to "go to it." Just as we are doing in Ohio The St. Louis Argus Audiences No More Will Listen To Age-worn Theories Or Panaceas As A Solution For "Negro Problem" By Associated Press Press NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 25.—In a public statement, Jesse O. Thomas, field secretary of the National Urban League, makes the following startling statement on present day conditions: "There never was a time in the history of America when it was more difficult to interest Colored people by speech-making than it is at this time. Whether addressing an audience in a hall of a congregation in a church, anyone in a church, anyhow, or in a theory, or a panacea, as a solution for the Negro problem will be heard with impatience. On the contrary, there never was a time when Colored people were more anxious to hear an interpretation of their duty and responsibility in this new program of reconstruction and readjustment in keeping with the Negro is followed with profound interest and concern, the tread of the big movements making for national and international reconstruction. "He is especially interested at the present time, in the discussion, pro and con, of the proposed covenant of the League of Nations. I have found that the sentiment among the Colored people of this country regarding the League of Nations, whether accepted with or without reservation, is identical with his attitude toward the Christian Church. That the test of Christianity does not depend upon how many religious denominations to China, India, Japan, or Africa; nor upon the amount of money contributed toward the support of the missionary department of the church, but the test of Christianity, so far as America is concerned, depends upon the treatment accorded the Negro in this country—the African, the American or Japanese, for that matter. "The test of the proposed covenant for the League of Nations in the last analysis, will not depend upon the attitude of the Italians toward Finme, or the Japanese toward Shantung, or other religious denominations proposed by the opponents of the Negro for present form; but will depend, so far as America, is concerned, upon whether or not the twelve millions of patriotic law-binding American Negroes are included in this covenant on equal footing with other American citizens." 5TH ANNIVERSARY MET'POLITAN A.M.E. Z. CHURCH, MAR. 7 5TH ANNIVERSARY MET'POLITAN A.M.E. Z. CHURCH, MAR. 7 The fifth anniversary of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zilon Church will be celebrated Sunday, March 7. Bishop George Wylie Clinton and George Lincoln Blackwell are coming. The final mortgage burning rally has been installed to raise the remaining $10,000 on Metropolitan Church. The mortgage burning is to take place the first May or during the week of Conference. The Metropolitan church has now inaugurated a plan by which to clear their church entirely of debt within the next two or three months, and they do hereby ask the citizens of St. Louis at large to enter in this laudable enterprise. We are asking every church, every organization, every lodge, every court, every temple, every household, the endowment society, every Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, of every church in the city, protestant and Catholic, to join us in this mortgage burning effort, that we may be free from debt and that we might be able to give our attention to a larger and more constructive work for the great Nerzer center of our city life. This great institutional plant should be looked upon, not as a denominational institution only, but should also be looked upon as an institution for the race. We are therefore asking the co-operation of all the people in every profession and business to aid us in this wonderful venture. It will mark a new day in the history of Negro church financing and will destroy that old saying that churches are always in debt and never in wealth. We will also years the task that hitherto required fifty years. With the gallant leadership of Dr. Weir and the Shaw show we are going not put it over. Landlords Can Send Employees to Be Taught Engineering and Firing A school for colored jailors was opened this week at the Summer High School under the supervision of E. L. Stamine, assistant engineer of the board of Education. This school will operated on a schedule similar to that of the public jail, with a jailorship at the Central High School. Not only is the school open to the jailors of the public schools, but it is open to the public; and landlords may send jailors to these courses with the certainty that they will be taught engineering. Other subjects taught are fuel economy, smokeless fire scientific use of soaps, study of and varnishes and stain removers. SHAM VS. ROBINSON ET AL The case of Rev. B. G. Shaw vs. C. K. Robinson, et al., is set for Tuesday, March 2, in Division 2 Circuit Court, Broadway and Market street. Published In The Interest Of Colored People Hunter's Establishment Is In Hands Of Court, Woodfolk In Difficulties And Business Suspended. Run On Lincoln State. Binga Gets Charter. By Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO. Feb. 25—The people of our group in Chicago are having many experiences in banking lines and it is expected that they will be hundreds. If it is discovered that they have financiality, will at least be very much wiser when things again reach a normal state. To begin with some months ago, the R. W. Hunter banking establishment, a new concern became involved in difficulties and the matter now is in the hands of the court with business suspended. Following this, the concern of R. W. Woodfolk, another private bank, became involved in difficulties and it has been placed in the hands of the receiver and business suspended. During the current week, a number of reports were circulated concerning the Lincoln State Bank which is officered and controlled by whites, but the nature of the depositors are colored. The report is on the bank and between five and ten and of the fifteen thousand depositors withdrew their money. The bank, however, is in a substantial condition and is paying off all depositors as fast as clerks can handle the business. The Lincoln State Bank is being back up from this crisis by the white banks of city, particularly the Continental and Commercial National Bank one of the strongest institutions in the world. One of the officers of the Lincoln State Bank states that the run caused by an officer of one of our lining and Loan Companies who was refused a loan of $5,000 at the bank, for his Company. There are also rumors to the effect that the Lincoln Bank has an interest in the Hyde Park and Kenwood Association segregation propaganda, but the officers fatly deny any such connections, staining that the bank number of residents in the district where gages have fallen due and they were refused assistance by other banking institutions. Chas, A. White, vice president says, "The directors of the bank wish to assure the public that this in no way influences their feelings towards the colored people, and we shall continue in the future to loan them money and help the same as we have in the past." Some of the most prominent men of the community including Wm. Adams, R. S. Abbott, Dan Jackson, Alderman C. H. Browne, George Holt, Chas Travis, Tony Langston and others are heavy depositors in the Lincoln State Bank. A charter has been issued to Jesse Bingo and others for the establishment of a state bank, under the control and supervision of our own group; CENTRAL BAPTIST GOSPEL CAMPAIGN Central has been in-a preparatory prayer service for three weeks which will merge into a preaching service and prayer service next week, beginning Sunday. One of the city pastors will preach each night next week, but on Sunday, March 7, Dr. Charles S. Morris will begin the main soul-winning campaign will continue through the week, which month will be the month of the hation-wide campaign for souls in line with the Inter-Church movement, with street preaching and house to house canvases and daily Bible and worker conferences at the church. This campaign will be quite unlike any that Central has ever held. Sunday will be the day for outlining all the work. Dr. Morris has been detained in Philadelphia so will not start in on this Sunday, but a group of volunteer singers are asked for the parish. One who is able to play well a cornet, and is willing to consecrate his talent to Christ, is wanted to aid-in the street campaign, as well as indoors. OFFICERS WALLER AND JOHNSON MAKE CLEVER ARREST. East Sunday, officers Waller and Johnson, of the secret service bureau, arrested John Henderson, B纵队 Davis, 49 years old, who confessed that while he was confessing religion at a revival meeting he stole $3.00, a book and an emblem from Rev. Jas. Wash. These officers made the arrest on a description furnished by Rev. Washington over a week previous. St. Louis Colored Woman At Suffrage Convention CHICAGO, Feb. 27—The American Suffrage League, an organization which has been most prominent) in the fight, to secure votes for women has just completed its national convention here and changed its name to the League of Women Voters. One race woman, Mrs. Beatrice M. Grady of Cook Avenue, St. Louis was a fully accredited representative, being a delegate from a colored subsidiary organization in Missouri. Mrs. Eliza McCoy of Detroit and Mrs. Thomas Fleming of Cleveland, were alternates. It has been decided that this organization which has been fighting for sixty years to secure for women the vote, will now have as its object, the educating of the women of America how to vote. It is hoped that race women will soon become powerful, political voters, and identify themselves with this organization, wherever possible. NEGROES/CONTROL THE SOUTH SAYS CHICAGO TRIBUNE Paper Declares South In Turn Runs Democratic Party Which Controls Nation And Conducts It With Regard To Limitation Of The Negroes In The South CHICAGO, Feb. 25—Under the capitation of "Negro Government in the U.S.A.," the Chicago Tribute has recently published one of the most significant editorials ever issued by a daily newspaper. The policy of the Chicago Tribute is not always understood by people outside of Chicago, but to residents of this city, the Tribute is known to offer decided limitations. This policy not have any effect on the colored people of Chicago, but it affords the Tribute in regard to the Irish organization felt that the Tribute is bias. "TheNegro controls the South," is remarkable information furnished by the Tribute. "The South controls the Democratic party." The Democratic party still controls the nation. The nation is conducted with regard to the limitations of the Negro in the South. "Prohibition was adopted by the southern states, because it is dangerous for the Negro to drink." If he drinks he becomes savage or may become savage. The south defended itself against the liquor traffic not because the southern adult did not want to drink but because he could not allow the Negroes to drink. "Woman suffrage probably will be adopted, but it had to win against the south. The south is opposed to extension of suffrage because that involves the Negro vote which is not easy but extents of suffrage are imminent to actions which must maintain restrictions of suffrage. "We probably will not get universal military training because the south is afraid to train and arm Negroes. Congressmen from the south say they will not put arms in the hands of blacks. If that is their reason for opposing universal training we have a dependent upon the limitations of black people submerged below the citizenship line. We are not blaming the south. It is of no use to blame the south and it is probably unjust. The north, given the southern problems, might behave in the same fashion. But we are being ruled by Negroes to a very considerable extent and in very important matters. The southern Negro governs the limited territory. His impacity is an applied test of American legislation. If proposed legislation does not fit him it is opposed. "One non-voting southern Negro has more influence upon the course of the United States in many essential particulars than ten voting northern citizens." He is powerful in his powerlessness. There has been a universal awakening about the "Negroes impetive power," a proposed in an editorial recently published in the New York World and some definite actions have been made for larger citizenship opportunities for the race and places the white south in a very embarrassing position. The World says, "Statesmenhip that never faces, above a purpose to subjugate a race is of a poor order and accounts for most of the deficiencies of the political alignment which makes democratic representation in Congress almost wholly southern, although Northern Democrats constitute a vast majority of the voters, would be bad enough if it were merely secessional. When it has no inspiration but hostility to the Negro, no aim but to keep him down, no principles that he cannot frighten into obequence and no sense of right or justice to maintain, nor a sense of justice to stifle the situation becomes insufferable. No true Democratic Party can be offered in this fashion and live." Y. M. C. A. NAS A FEW SCHOLARSHIPS FOR Announcement is made at the Pine St. Department Y. M. C.

JURY RELEASES WHITES GHARGED WITH ASSAULT GOLDSBORO, N.C.—Judge Bond, of the Wayne County Court scored the jury which returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of three young white men charged with criminal assault upon a 15-year-old white girl. Judge Bond, during his charge to the jury, had instructed then that the three men could be found guilty on either charge. When the verdict of not guilty was handed in by the jury, Judge Bond informed that body that he was sorely disappointed at their action. He said that if "I had sat on the jury I could never have found such a verdict as you rendered, and if you found it impossible to render a verdict of guilty in this case, then you should stop prosecuting Negroes for shooting you as a Negro, for something Negroes for alleged assault." Judge Bond immediately ordered the three defendant placed in the custody of the sheriff under three separate charges, i.e. two charges for violating the prostitution act and one for violation of the juvenile act. He required a bond of $1,000 in each case and informed the solicitor that he had the power to move the cases to an adjudication. The three men, Jasper Farmer, Sylvester Mathis and George Hopewell, are prominent citizens of Wayne County and they were charged with having outraged Marta Outlaw, a 15-year-old girl the alleged crime had been committed after the men had botten rid of the girl's escort by a trick. "In her testimony the girl deserved a sentence," she recalled her twelve times—From The Black Dishatch. RECORD CROWD HEARS SIMMONS Union Memorial Church Is Filled To Standing Capacity At Citizens Liberty League Mass Meeting.—Hundreds Unable To Gain Admittance. --- Last Wednesday night a great multitude of people made their way to Union Memorial M. E. Church, Phe and Leffingwell, to hear an address delivered by President of the Lincoln League of America, and the greatest orator and statesman, who spoke under the auspices of the Citizens' Liberty League, a local political organization, representing several thousand members. Long before Col. Simmons' arrival at the church the main auditorium, also the karyal and vestibules to their intermost capacity. While many heard him under a great disadvantage, hundreds of persons who came later could not gain admission; the convenience of the karyal and vestibules to the purpose. The preliminaries and a fervent prayer offered by Dr. C. A. Williams, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, A. W. Lily president of the Citizens' Liberty League presented Attorney Homer G. Phillip, who made an imprisonment talk outlining the greatest "leadership" League Does Not Stand" statistic. "For the benefit of those who style the Citizens' Liberty Society as a Democratic Aid Society, I take this opportunity to say to them, that it to believe in real democracy and the Democrat we shall remain Democrat if the people we remain political recognition in the Republican party 'puts us on the lower limb,' we shall remain there. When our enemies say the Citizens' League is not a Republican organization they misrepresent the league. We are going to stay going to fight for our party, and are going to fight for our party, and are we tired of the kind of colored leadership we've had, but also that of the white. The Citizens' League refuses to place its stamp of approval on a candidate until his attitude has been thoroughly made known regarding the enemies of the Republican, to fight the enemies that be black or white; when the battle is over we shall wear the crown. If favoring a Negro for Congress, when our race is burned and lynched, is not an opportune time, when is the ripe time? 15 our boys, when is the ripe time? 15 our boys, why should we not fight for it in the Republican party?" Mrs. Grant Bledsoe, president of the Women's Auxiliary of the Citizens' Liberty League was introduced. She spoke briefly, admonishing the men who did not openly endorse the principle. She also called the League, because of their political jobs, to "keep quiet and let the members of the organization, whose hands are not tied," fight for them. Chairman Lloyd expresses regret that Mayor Moore was expected, but could not be pressed because of a more urgent engagement. Col. Simmons, Speaker of the Evening, Green Ovalation. The chairman presided. Col Simmons, the principal speaker — it was a most inspiring hour, when the peerless orator arose under a thunderbull of applause, to accept the introduction. The demonstration showed that he has the unparalleled confidence and respect of the people. With the versatility of a genius the speaker delved into his message, exhibiting an equal proportion of with humor, passion, theology and psychology. I am satisfied to be a Negro, and am satisfied to appear before the apt and speak for my people. I am have missed coming to St Louis for every dollar in the State of Kentucky. I am the first Negro whom my people have ever made and I can not disappoint or fall them. I am extremely popular with white people because I am popular with my race, and those white leaders will never lead unless you are hers. The greatest leaders are they who have the greatest number of followers. "Here let me congratulate the Citizens' Liberty League upon the character of men who compose your orator with your league were a Democratic movement, not have been present tonight. I am here to pledge my support to you in your fight for justice." (Col. Simmons' Platform and Faith-in Republican Party). "The Republican party I will defend against the suspensions of foes or the fears of friends. All I am or hope to be, I owe it to the imperishable principles of that party. The debt I owe is no heavier than the debt my organization will set within the promises of that organization, whose history is the story of freedom; the pages whose record carries my name in capital letters. "Have no fears for me. I am not to be moved, nor are those for whom I speak afraid. Under the flag, side by side with my neighbor from the standing on the memory of Grant and Wood, in a hand I can feel, but can not see here I take my start in the name of the only race upon these shores appointed to teach the lessons from the book of liberty. "Mobs and haughty speech, unkind hands, and guns aimed at my heart are nothing against my faith." "Such as I, God appointed me, and such as I, to be. He will measure and appoint me." Stressing the importance of "self-respect and self-reliance. Simmons told what the race could accomplish in life's struggle." Race Solidarity. The speaker counseled a "healthy activity of individual freedom, unrestrained, energetic action of all. This was his argument, primary: "There is no race problem." said, "The problem in our race is to develop character, get money and education; when the American Negro can stand up in his manhood and say to a white man, 'So dar and no further.' "The hope of our race lies in the character of our women. I appeal to the Citizens' Liberty League to depend upon the council of your women, have respect for their purpose, their resolute action and steadfast integrity." Language not to be misunderstood, his admission to the women was to keep the faith, respect and "stay in the race," stating further "slavery has passed away and you are free, walk in the open thornhole afar an suspicion, where all can see. You can not remove letters from the arms of your race when you are around their legs. Nor can the race unless the women keep its secrets." Denounces Abuse and Villification. He told his audience not to fight the white man, but the wrongs that he inflicts on the race through prejudice and political machinations. "Vengeance is mine, saith the man, and I will repay" the speaker continued. Tell Mayor Kiel I came to St. Louis to talk about two things the recent U.S. election was dealing with, when Dr. Weaver was elected secretary. "Enright Avenue excitement." I regret so much that he could not be present. "What we are trying to do is to get closer to the American white man. The American white man truly won the world war, and let no praise be taken from him; but you should also remember that had the Negro not gone the man never would have left the home and the war never would have been won." I saw the American white man in Argonne Forest and know of his cruel treatment to the black boys of my race. War will again knock on the door of the American "white man," and I command you to the uniform subjection of your national and American sons. "I am with the American white in almost everything except his religion, and he has not that. "They are both plain, orgyful,ools, the white American in his propaganda against my race and that member of my struggling race in his propaganda against the American white man. Before we are through with our fight as a nation, we are in Argonne on Enright Avenue and cajun and shapes, to keep Old Goth where she was first unfurtured. Three Americans Decorate the Temples. "Three Americans decorate the temples of our nation," Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. Their only crown is in the name and fame of Booker T. How Can Negroes Become Democrats! I had rather be an American Negro, eating bread of home and faith, identified with a race whose future is before me. I was a party, which has always stood for white man's supremacy. Jim-crow cars, disfranchisement and mob rule "If I were the Governor of Missouri I would put every Nero in jail for 25 years who said his vote and would put every white man in jail for 50 years who said the news's vote. "How can a Nero be the governor of a Democrat?" The Republican party has not done for me all that it should have done, not all that I am going to make it do. Yet the Democrat party has done more to harm me than I want to bear. There is not a Nero in the Democratic Party. There is not a Democrat and stay out of jail. What did Democrat do to our jobs in France? With unselfish purpose in their ideals, all believing that the success of their cause depended upon the unity of their action, was the gist, of one of the arguments set forth by the Democrats, with a view of inspiring the Citizens League in its fight for justice. North Carolina Had Negro Congressman Fifty Years Ago "Why don't you have what you want in the 11th ward? You have gotten a delegate to the National Convention. You should have had two. Why can't you have a Negro congressman?" You have the votes. North Carolina had a Negro congressman fifty years ago and a congressman now. You have a congressman now you are not worthy of the reputation that was made by your safeties. The principles to which your organization is committed are just ones. If your contentions and purposes are hampered by some Negroes so to it that they are not in the way. If the white people of St Louis had as much wealth as I have they would, have nothing but Negroes on the police force and in the fire department. "You have had your days as a separate people. Ten years from today you have cars and disastrement. It is your stand with the principles of the Citizens' Liberty League. Don't deary all of the members of your race because of the errors of a few. Spend more of your own money with more of your own people. This is one remedy for the race problem. Strengthen your efforts in the fight for the economic and commercial development of the Negro. "If the simple rules that I have outlined to you are followed, the Citizens' Liberty League will have no troubles in working out its destiny and erradicating its political evils." The Citizens Liberty League solicits the help of the Negroes in their fight for political, economic and social rights.

A UNIQUE·INSTITUTE (Chicago, Ill., Post) Among the institutions that are doing so excellent a work for the education of the American Negro, Howard University, at the national capital; If you suffer from rheumatism or any of the diseases caused by poisoned blood, take Prescription C-2223. The use of this great blood purifier is almost the same as consulting a specialist, for every bottle represents what the originator and many other medical authorities on such diseases would prescribe for you. Prescription C-2223 contains no mercury, chlorine, strychnine, morphine, cocaine or other habit forming or dangerous drugs. It is a concentrated liquid preparation of certain drugs having marked influence on those diseases caused by blood poison which are produced within the system, as well as those which enter from without. Prescription C-2223 stands above all other remedies as an alternative of great power. It restores normal functions to those organs or tissues which are not naturally performing their full work; changes diseased conditions into conditions of health. It also acts especially on the excretory organs, aiding nature in removing impure products from the body. A valuable aid to Prescription C-2223 is a mild cathartic that does not sicken or gripe. This pills stimulates the secretions of the liver, tones up and regulates the bowels. It is known as the 2223 Liver Pill and sells for 25c. As one is a dog, and no bad effects result from their use, they can be used by young and old alike. Prescription C-2273 is guaranteed, and sold by all good druggists at $1.50 a bottle, for the complete treatment of two bottles and a box of Pills for $3.25.

For more than half a century, it has trained colored leaders for the task of educating the members of their race and has been an invaluable source of supply to the Negro school and colleges of the country. During the war years it trained 1786 for war work, placing its plant and equipment at the disposal of the government. Seventy colored institutions of learning were represented in the student army instruction camp conducted under its roof. Last year, Howard University had an enrollment of 1830 students from thirteven states and ten foreign countries. This year its enrollment already numbers 1522. With so good a claim to consideration, Howard asks the friends of Negro education to subscribe $20,000 for an emergency repair ad current expense fund. It is a modest request.

Mix crashes through 4 floors on horse back PAGE FOUR BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE HAS SENSATIONAL ACT. Cuban Mack & Co. Swallow Swords, Bat Fire, Walk on Sharp Steel and Throw Kulies Around Cuban Mack & Co., featuring Hindoo magic bring the looker Washington Theatre show to a thrilling close this week. The act opens tame enough with a little jugging, balancing, transformation tricks and fire eating. The first real thrill comes when the performer apparently swallows about eighteen inches of a double-edge, sharp-pointed sword and dagger. The female performer climbs a ladder, in stocking feet, on the edges of knives. She then stands against a back-board, in various positions, and permits the man to outline her form with knives and tommy hawks, thrown from a distance. The performance comes to an exciting climax when the knife-throwing stunt is pulled off with the woman's form covered with a large sheet of paper. The act is thrilling enough to satisfy anyone's taste for loud curry, excitement, and the audience bursts into franzized applause when it realizes that nobody has been seated. Baby. Mack the popular little soubrette, as sly and merry as ever, has no trouble winning the favor of the audience with three good sons, bers and bers with three good sons. Her last number is for Let No. One Man Maney Your Mind. You go big Mason and English, two men, have a wave of song and comedy, sprayed with a little sentiment Mason scores a bit singing *Carolina Sunshine* and in a recitation of Paul Lawrence Dunbars in *The Morning / English* is the comedian and spies it, his humorous songs and antics with a good measure of original witfulness. Charles Anderson third on the bill, takes the house by storm when he enters, after a few bars of high spirand singing *I Am Intruder*. In a lighter vein he renders "I Know What It Means to Be Homeless" but adds pathos in the recitation. His masterpiece is in which a sustained high intensity stains the applause of his he closes with "The Worry Blues" by request, and scores another hit. Andersson's voice is remarkable for range, sweetness, expression and control. NEXT WEEK. A puppets vaudeville ball, bright, speedy and full of snap has been booked for the Beaker Washington meat week. It will include The Hottestator Trum, a melodious diversion, Mary Kemp, a sinking comedians, Minster, Morris, the nutty jugger, and Zeke & Norton, promoters of cheerfulness. The combinations will measure up to the high standard of entertaining this theatre has been offering lately.

(By Charles A. Milne) When Dick Wallace was selected to head the local club there were but two points considered—"faithfulness" and "trustworthy." There is no question of his ability, and a good judge of young men breaking into the game. As a worker he makes you think of a steam engine trying to beat the world's record.

I don't mean he is the most popular player, but the most popular man; the one with the most friends and the fewest enemies; the one who, if good wishes were dollars and cents, would have old man Crossus backed off the map. Wallace has been a member of the St. Louis club some ten or twelve years. Coming to St. Louis with the famous Leland Glants, he agreed to cast his lot here and work to build a ball club. In doing so at the time, he gave up a position that was paying him a good living on the future, he believed me he saw a many dawn day.

A., has been recently appointed Sunday School secretary for this Board and devotes the greater part of her time to the sale of these mission schools stock to the Sunday Schools. The plan is working well and much interest has been shown with greatly increased funds brought in for the mission schools. RICHARD W. THOMPSON By Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Tree surer. Howard university, Wash- ington. The following tribute to Richard W. Thompson, by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary Treasurer of Howard University prepared for expression to the nation thru the Associated Negro, Press, must certainly have the hearty approval of the late newspaper man's admirable. Breaking a fast rule of our service to be impersonal, I beg indulgence for testimony to the memory of this pioneer of the Fourth Estate. As a kindred spirit from the Hoosier State, Mr Thompson was my cordial friend and supporter in all journalistic centuries. His service appeared regularly for years in our newspaper. The chivalry Journal, and he was a splendid ally of this present service, we having received probably the last release he ever dictated, two weeks ago. In the words of Major John R. Lynch the country was kept acquainted with Washington D. C. thru R. W. Thompson. This hero of journalistic warfare for justice deserves a high niche in the newspaper Hall of Fame—Nation David Braucher, Editor in Chief The passing of R. W. Thompson removes a character uniquely among the Colored people of the District of Columbia. He was a profitee, forceful writer, an idolist-speaker, and combined in his personality attributes that made for gothic, solid and enduring friendship. He was a friend of common humanity, and was never happier than when contributing in some way towards the happiness of others. His death records the passing of a figure that will be greatly missed by the Colored people of Washington, and by thousands of others out this country, who each week, followed his letter of correspondence, depicting life and activity among the Colored people at the National Capital. He knew, served and sought to support every official of our race who has come to Washington during the past twenty five years, and the 'quality which will be long remembered by his friends, was that he always chose to "boost" rather than to "knock." As one who associated with him in common labors at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and in the War Department during the late world conflict, I had full opportunity to know the man's qualities of head and heart. His passing brings to me as it does to hundreds of others, great personal grief. THE CALL OF DOLLARS Business throughout the world follows the call of dollars. There is no dollar line in the buying power of dollars. A certified check signed with a hand of dandy looks no different in the cash drawer than one signed by a hand of fifty white. The commercial world has gaid aside its provincialism, and has seen the folly of failing to go after business where the getting is good. There is no place where the police of buying is more keenly felt than in the field of advertising. Advertising these days is an exact science, figured out by experts who seldom ever make a mistake. The commercial establishment, leaves to the judgment of its director of publicity the best means of expending the annual appropriation to bring back the largest returns in business. There are millions and millions of dollars spent in advertising and publicity in America, and yet it has only been within the last year and a half that big commercial houses, and advertising agencies have discovered the wisdom of "placing their copy" with publications reaching the Colored group. The advertising Age, Chicago, IL, has the following to say of the new turn of events: If there was, in the past anything in the disinclination of national advertisers to use Southern newspapers, as freely as Northern, because of the great numbers of the Southern Colored population, most of whom they supposed to be of small buying power, there is good reason for the discarding of this prejudice. In a trade report published by the New York Times the other day, the following interesting statement appears concerning the buying power of the Negro: "Houses the Southern trade find that the Colored population is to be reckoned with these days." In the past as one man put it, a buyer would state that he was from a city of a hundred thousand, but only one thousand count. Now it is the ninety five thousand that count especially where luxuries are concerned. The highest priced goods, including expensive sombreros, silk shirts etc. are] ready favorites with the Colored people who have added a great deal to the purchasing power the stores now count on." This statement is *fraught* with the greatest significance both for our economic progress and our group development. The bailiari is withheld from the Negro because to do so is essential to the salvation of white civilization. The man who knows that he has no Negro votes to lose, because the Negroes cannot vote and goes on the stump to make political capital by jumping on the Negroes, is a cheap demagogue. Louisiana has her faults in politics, but her people do not respond as readily to the demagogue and the blatants as people do in some other sections. THE ST.

MME. SEAY'S SYRIAN PREPARATIONS FOR THE HAIR By Wen, Pictures, Bulletin, Md. At last somebody is paying especial attention to the soul needs of the little Colored child. They are publishing a child's magazine, which contains pictures of Colored children and stories about them and their own Colored folk. In the first issue of this periodical, for January, 1920, in the picture of the tiny black queen of Abyssinia, and of other children on the sun. This will put ambition, self-respect and "dreams" into the hearts of Colored children. And you know the dreams unclatch the waking up. If Dr. DuBots had done nothing else but found .this little magazine, he should, be remembered for it. In some respects this little monthly book is more important than the Crisis; it begins at the beginning—with children. And the children are the ancestors of the race to be. Some things are so plain that most people do not see them. Most people do not reflect that little children and big ones, too, must have ideals of their own mind, in order to inspire Most people never see the sky—it is so evident. We must remember that all the school books are made or little white children in this country. The books do not seem to know that the little "True Brownies" are alive. A Colored child in an American school could easily get the idea that he is not human, and that only white folks are such beings as human stories can be written about When "Jack and Jill" go up the hill, they are both white. When the "Little Boy Blue" blows his horn, he is white. Even "Old Mother Goose" is white and stringy haired. And all the signboards of civilization paint the little Negro child in the same direction. As he trudges homeward from school, he must even notice that the little "Fairy" that sits on a cake of soap, is always a white fairy. And all the folks that his history was willing to mention, were white—except some black slaves. Consider the plight of this child: At last, "The Brownie" book has made its appearance, to hold up to these little brown angels as their ideas their own kind—themselves LET'S FIND THE GUILTY GUN Ebird. Inf. Review Sober minded people of this country giving much thought to the race problem. There is a menacing unrest among the Negroes and but little agitation is required to excite them to mob violence. The social and industrial conditions that face them are no doubt responsible for much of the unrest among them. But they have been exploited so long by the Northern politician and the Southern planner that they feel that they have a genuine grievance against somebody. A GOODMAN'S-MEMORY Houston, Tex., Post In renaming the Emancipation Park Negro School the Blackshear School, the Houston board pays litter tribute to the life and work of one the worthiest Negro citizens who ever lived in Texas. Prof E. L. Blackshear who passed away in few weeks ago at Humphield, Texas was one of the foremost Negro educators in the State for many years. He was the first principal of the school which bears his name and later became the head of the Prairie View Normal for Negroes, which may be best described as the Tuskegee of Texas. He labored unceasingly for a generation for the normal, mental and economic advancement of his race. He worked along practical lines, holding to the belief that the Negro could improve only as he becomes more useful and more responsible citizen. He at all times stood for the best interest of the Negro people, sometime against strong opposition. Throughout his career he entertained a friendly regard for the white people, sought their cooperation and good will, and in turn he was rewarded with the confidence and high regard of the better element of the white people of the state. The citizens of Houston, white and black, who recognize the great value of the service rendered by the last educator to his race and to his state, will heartily approve of honoring his memory in this city, where his work is so well known. His life was an example every Negro youth might well emulate. THE NEW WHITE SOUTH Carrie Goreda Alabama geography The Georgia published an editor's urging aid for the library for the Colored people of South Atlanta. This library had been in existence for about three years. It was begun by the family of Dr. J W E. Bowen, vice president of Gammon Theological Seminary. It occupied a room which was given rent free, by J L. Price. The editorial narrated the story the owner had found it advisable that he discontinue his gift and rent the room for other purposes. It seems that this little room, aside from being the home of the library, which was doing great good, was also the gathering place for Red Cross work and other war activities among Colored people, and a sort of social center and study room for many ambitious boys and girls. In response to that editorial, The Georgian received the subjoined letter: To The Editor of The Georgian: Please allow me to thank you heartily for your editorial in today's Georgian, about our duty, to the Negro in general, and the library for their benefit in particular. As Mayor keynote says, "We have not always been just to them," so it is the more important that we begin to be just in every way, not only because it is right that we should, but because our Negro citizens are entitled to these benefits. Please notify your correspondent, as quoted in your editorial, that I will be glad to pay six months' rent of the present quarters, and will help as other white friends will help, to make a permanent place for their benefit in South Atlanta. Attentions like your editorial and other things that are being done are welding a bond of friendship between the races that is growing stronger, and all good citizens, white and Colored, should do all in their power to promote this feeling of friendship and good will. Because there are reprints, both white and black, who do and say things to cause ill feeling between the races, is the very strangest reason why all good people should pull harder to overcome this influence and build for peace and happiness for all Thanking you for all the big things you do. Northampton, Mass., Herald "Let the French appeal for 2,000,000 Colored Americans to help build up France," advises the Petit Parisian, noting the difference in treatment of Negroes in that country and in this. The suggestion is interesting and there are doubtless opportunities for American Negroes across the water. What would be the effect upon race feeling by an addition of 2,000,000 Negroes to the population of France is likely, however, to remain an academic question for a long time. MILES POINDEXTER Among the Republican candidates for President is Miles Poindexter, United States Senator from the State of Washington. An enlisted statesman and an able official with a long and conspicuous record in service of the people, his candidacy, and the principles of solid Americanism which he is actively advocating as a solution of the problems with which the nation is confronted are attracting attention and support throughout the country. Senator Poindexter was the first to announce his entry in the Presidential race. He addressed an open letter to the people of the country, setting forth the principles for which he stood and his attitude toward the vital issues of the day and concluded by stating that he would make his campaign on these principles. Among the things he favors is the elimination of European racial and domestic politics from American domestic affairs, and the concentration of the attention and resources of the American government upon the interests of the American people in preference to the concerns of Europe. Senator Poindexter was born of obscure parents in Memphis, Tenn., and has won a place of prominence in the nation by hard work and unselfishness. Shortly after his birth his parents removed to their native state, Virginia, and after completing his education, Miles Poindexter went to Walla Walla Washington, where he began the practice of law. He has been in public life for a number of years. The Road To Happiness At is interesting to observe the way those who hate us, describe their interest in us and in humanity. The latest coloribhura outbreak in St. Louis, like that in the fattle segregation efforts in Chicago, portray the enemies of justice saying, "We do not hate them, but damage them, they cannot live in decent houses or worship in modern churches." It is indeed, too bad that so many of our white brethren fail completely flat and sprawling when they arrive at the "color line." They are magnificent apostles of "brotherly love" in preachments, but also hypocrites in every day practice. ;'FORSHAW" REPAIRS FOR "ANY OLD" STOVE 111 NORTH 12th STREET CENTRAL 3491-R MAIN 2043 Where There is.

Over, Governor Gardner has made up his future take a personal interest in the vital estate, and is willing to make an issue bring about their fulfillment, then we are Hurrah for Gardner." But, if on the occasion those phrases to dodge other issues him the more... This is a backward step in the onward march of the city's progress. There is much talk, and some anxiety as to the results of the recent United States Census, with regard to what place St. Louis is to hold as to rank with the large cities of the nation. The Census Director stated that he wanted everyone counted regardless of race or color, both citizens and aliens. The Million Population Club and the Chamber of Commerce are busy in boosting the city's population, and inducing industries to locate here. In the natural order of things quite a number of Negroes who are true, loyal patriotic, law abiding and industrious are here. These people are struggling to better their condition just as any other group who make up the population of this city. We cannot for the life of us understand why the white people strive so hard to keep us back, to keep us down, and to hinder our progress. The mystery depens when we consider that every other group or nationality he they aliens, reds, anarchists, bolshevists or any other enemy of this government are welcomed in any part of this city with outstretched arms, while the American Negro, the true blue, is denied the natural rights that come to a city by the help of his own hands, skill and brain. To buy and own real estate is the basis of good citizenship, then why deny the Negro that right? We were inclined to give little attention to the so-called Delma Enright Protective Association, but the actions of the Real Estate Exchange calls for more serious consideration. Not that we think that the actions taken by the Real Estate Exchange will keep the Negro from buying property in any part of the city where he can pay the price, but we regret to see an organization like the Exchange sanction or encourage a un-American principle. We fear that there are those who are quite active in opposition to the Negro who will construe the actions of the Real Estate Exchange as encouraging "direct action" against the Negro, thus making that great body of men a party to lawlessness. We should think that expansion of the city would be the highest aim of the Real Estate Exchange. And if on account of racial prejudice there are those who wish to move when a Negro purchases property in the neighborhood, they should be encouraged to do so. The Negro has no special desire to live door-neighbors to his white brethren, but he does wish to be let alone and treated like other American citizens. GOVERNOR GARDNER AND THE REDS. In a recent address, Gov. Frederick D. Gardner is quoted as saying that he would lead troops in any part of this state where Redham threatened, declare martial law and have any traitor that at sunrise. Judging by his past actions, the public will have little faith in the governor's statement. Redham is a class who believe in taking law into their own hands regardless of the established laws of the land, and if necessary overthrow the existing laws to carry out their purposes. Since he has been governor of this state we have never heard of Frederick D. Gardner making any efforts as chief executive to prevent mob violence or lynchings in this state. Neither have we heard of any legislation recommended by him looking forward to the protection of life or property against Refism. If, however, Governor Gardner has made up his mind that he will in the future take a personal interest in the vital and important affair of the state, and is willing to make an issue of them if necessary to bring about their fulfillment, then we are willing to say "Brayol Hurrah for Gardner." But, if on the other hand he was merely using those phrases to dodge other issues the people will condemn him the more...

Feb. 28.—Ever since General Leonard Wood declared before the Lincoln League assembled in Chicago that he stood for equal rights, equal justice and equal protection, he stood for the Rooseveltian Square Deal and further stated that America must be made safe for Americans, hundreds have sent their homes to be enrolled as charter members of the National Colored People's Wood for Presidents Club located in this city. Every resident of this city, the next great Republican leader because he is a real American like Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. F. B. Ransom recently appointed on the Indiana' state platform committee to represent the Colored people of this State leans toward General Wood because he thinks Leonard Wood understands the needs of all the people of Indiana. General Wood Roosevelt will be able to put the country in line for greater progress in the next four years. Some other prominent leaders to take the stand for Wood are Perry W. Howard, Jackson, Miss. and Major John R. Lynch, ex-auditor of the Navy and at present residing in Chicago. All people wishing to be enrolled as charter members of the National Colored People's Wood-for-President-Club with headquarters in Indiana, Ind., will be able to attend and address at once to this association. General Wood is the only candidate up to date to publicly his position in regard to the Colored people. AN APPRECIATION To the Editor of the St. Louis Argus: Please convey to the citizens of St. Louis through your paper the deep appreciation of the Citizens' Liberty League for the wonderful manner in which they supported the meeting on Wednesday at the League realizes that the large gathering was a big personal tribute to Col. Simmons, but it also feels that the citizens of St. Louis responded to its call because they believed in its principles and the things for which it stands. The League deeply regrets that more than a thousand persons were turned away because it was impossible to find a single space in which to pack affy more people. We promise to have Col. Simmons return and bring with him other men to find a place where they can cure a hall large enough to accommodate all who care to come. The League will thanks the citizens, both men and women, who received its pledge card at the meeting. If they will sign the same and mail them to the League headquarters at 313 Pine Street, please join your CITIZENS LIBERTY LEAGUE, A. W. LLOYD, President.
