"I am a Republican, and I believe the party should win next November, provided she stands by the principles leaders are flirting with the things that will mean its defeat. Political and economical justice are the pillows upon which it is founded. If the nation is to stand we must be willing to fight, for all, or we will be thirty races or groups each pulling its own way. "A little more of the spirit of Lincoln and a little less of the present-day practice is what we need just now. "I am in sympathy with your people in your struggle, (or political freedom. People of my race (German decent) have felt the sting of prejudice of late when I was not so like you have). President Wilson found phrase called 'World Democracy. It was played upon the screen before the eyes of all the world and gazing upon it, it set the people 40 thinking and dreaming, and nothing can stop them." Other speakers were Atty. Geo. L. Vaughn and Mrs. Lucy Bledsoe. Mrs. lieddea ladd down one of her red-hot which brought many rounds of applause. Mrs. Julia Alexander recited a poem dedicated to the Citizens' League. At Lane Tabernacle One of the most interesting meetings of the Citizens Library League that of last Monday night at Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, 3000 Falkfax avenue. "The first speaker, J. E. Mitchell, briefly stated the object and purpose of the Citizen League which was well received. Rev. N. L. Smith, pastor of the church was the next speaker, who told at some length what he had thought of the League, from what he had heard, and intimated that he thought that the organization was first ing with the Democratic party. "I am with the Citizen's Liberty League. I am not contending for, but I want it through the Republican party. We need more faith in other and we cannot afford to divide our forces at this time." Rev. Smith said. Dr. Chas. Henry Phillips, Jr. was the next speaker. Apparently Rev. Smith had made some remarks that did not set well with the doctor, for he launched right into his discussion by the Chairman, an pleased to be here, to speak to the three thousand men and women who believe in the principles of the Citizens' Liberty League. I can see that Dr. Smith has been misinformed. We are a body of honest men and women that is organized to better our condition and yours. We must all go up together or together we must all go up together we have been all kinds of false statements made by enemies of our cause. The Citizens' Liberty League is a Republican organization and our fight is confined to the Republican party. We shall oppose men in the party who are not honest men. We have Klet, the best mayor the city has ever had would not be today backing Dwight Davis had he known how the Negroes felt toward Mr. Davis on account of his attitude when he was park commissioner. That is why we should city, some one in robe the feeling of the Negroes when the state is being made. "I have no patience with the 'narror' Nergus who only echoes his masters' roles. I stand for all the principles of being made, being made big, out of white brethren for the 19th fifty years, and is now time for us to make some big men out of the issue of our War. Liberty is what I want. We have been born to work for years, and I think it high time for us to make a united effort to flee The St. Louis Argus Mrs. Grant Bledsoe spoke in behalf of the women. She told of how the women are uniting their forces to help the men free themselves and come into their own. She pictured as traitors, those of our Race those who are saying "it's not time yet." If we sit quietly and listen to these slaves, we shall find our needs foright tight and tighter about our needs. I will liberty. "Give me liberty or give me death!" she said. Mrs. Bledsoe said, "if anyone is present who is afraid to join the League, our account of a political position, for God's sake keep your mouth closed, and let those who are free speak for the League."

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York today published a statement asserting that the South to universal military training was due to prejudice against the colored soldier. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does not concern itself with universal military training as such," says the state representative of the colored people of the United States. "Must be made to the propaganda against colored soldiers by which it was hoped to discredit the measure." "Brigadier General Sherburne and Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, have testified to the valor of Negro troops in France. Under the circumference of the United States, colored soldiers must be characterized as for the most part deliberate and intentional falsification."

Secretary Says "Officials Allow Negroes To Be Lynched, Burned and Tortured Because People Of Community Tolerate It." (Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK, N. Y., March 10.—Speaking before a mass meeting called by the National Association for the Adoption of General People and the Metropolitan Baptist Church of New York, John R. Shillady, declared that with more state governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, lynching and burning at stake could be ended in the United States. "Mobism in the United States can be ended," said Mr. Shillady. "Whenever the people make up their minds that the mob must be put down, its governors and sheriffs and public officers will act accordingly. "In the main governors allow Negroes to be lynched and burned and tortured, because the people of their communities tolerate such errages. "With more governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, the worst blot on American society is when a lynching motive mounts guns, its enthusiasm vanishes. Lexington, Ky., has fired another shot: that will be heard around the world." RACE QUESTION IS A PROBLEM OF BOTH THE RACES RACE QUESTION IS A PROBLEM OF BOTH THE RACES NEW YORK, N. Y. 10.—Among the 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States, the realization is growing that they must organize to obtain justice, according to William Pickens, formerly dean of Morgan College, who spoke at a meeting held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Mr. Pickens recently became associate field secretary, of the N. A. A. C. P. "It is not the policy of Slavery, said Mr. Pickens or oppression to teach the enslaved or oppressed how to organize. Indeed, it is the policy of slavery to keep the enslaved or oppressed to discover any contact that should make for exchange of thought. "The state of half freedom which came to the Negro after the Civil War made, organization among the members of his race and its friends imperative, but past history has made such organization impossible of immediate realization. Many rival secret societies and warring church denominations prang up among the Colored folk, but not until about fifty years after the Civil War period was it possible to create an organization for the Advancement of Colored people. "What appears to some people as a challenge to pickens against the N. A. C. P. is in fact its greatest virtue and best security for success; that it consists of both white and Colored people working together for the adjustment of matters between the races. "The race question" is really the problem of both races, altho we call it The Negro Problem. "That does not mean it is the Negro's question. There are two races concerned, and the matter cannot be settled with one race absent. Even the white race, which is the stronger race, could not settle the matter alone. In the years ago, Miss Mary White Ortington called together some while and Colored people and started the association, while Dr. DuBois started the Crisis Magazine, then it was that the first real step was taken towards the solution of the problem of the half-free Negro in the United States.

ST. LOUIS, MO. FRIDAY. MARCH 12, 1920 FORMER ALABAMA GOVERNOR FAVORS A U.S. LYNCH LAW FORMER ALABAMA GOVERNOR FAVORS A U.S. LYNCH LAW (Associated Neuro Press.) ALBANY, N. F., March 10—There is no state or section of the country where the interest or protection of society demands or justifies the substitution of lynching for the orderly processes of the courts in the enforcement of law. This is the opinion of Emmett O'Neal, former governor of Alabama, the national movement against lynching. If necessary for the elimination of lynching, Mr. O'Neal invades an amendment to the United States Constitution which would give the federal government power to handle the situation instead of the states. "Lynching has grown until it has become a national evil, a blow upon our country," he said in a reproach to our civilization." Mr. O'Neal clared. "It is a horrible and inexcusable wrong for which the whole country must bear its just share of responsibility."

Sunday afternoon. Negro Leadership BY WM. PICKENS Now and then condescibly pays indirect and unintended compliment to the growing power and group consciousness of Colored Americans. Recently the enemies of the Negro race have "paid attention" to the Negro press. They even "censured" out the Colored paper Congress to prevent a subsequent exhibition in that Graham Bill. That is the greatest recommendation ever given the Negro press. When they meant nothing and stood for no bloody and had no sort of backbone about anything massively worried about them. Some people smiled patronizingly and intimidated them, the rest, they killed it as they did the Voice of the Negro in Atlanta, Ga. But now the Negro Press as a whole has risen to a tone and pitch that commands the ear of the enemies of the Race. But the greatest compliment ever given the press is the fact that the enemy is now beginning to worry over the lind of leaders which the Negro race is appointing for itself. It need not be assured and cannot be denied, that in the South the white people have generally "appointed" the Negro race. They did it indirectly; they would only them to such and such a "overridden" Negro and when Color --- Awarded Score Pro COLORED CANNOT BE SEGREGATED Baltimore Justice Finds It Necessary To Remind Complaining Property Owners. (Associated Negro Press.) BALTIMORE, Md., March 10—Saying they feared an invasion by Negroes in the 900 block North Wolfe street, a delegation of women visited Justice Robleder at the Northeastern Police Court, and asked if something could be done. They told Justice Robleder that three weeks ago white people living in 1933 North Wolfe street moved and that after the house had been repaired the landlady brought several Negroes to the house and they agreed to rent it. The climax to their feelings came yesterday when the new tenants appealed to the police for possession of the keys and went inside to clean up preparatory to moving in. The women told Justice Robleder that all of them owned houses and had lived in that block for years. After listening to the story of the women, the magistrate told them that there prevent the Negroes moving in, because the higher courts had ruled that the segregation net was no longer valid. STATEMENTS OF CLARION REFUTED STATEMENTS OF CLARION REFUTED Editor of the Argus: The following communication was submitted to the St. Louis Clarion for publication: Mr. C. K. Robinson, Editor. St. Louis Independent-Clarion. In your issue of March 6 you print a statement relative to the disposal of the sum of $75.00 to R. H. Shaw you and the Clarion for libel, wherein not only does the undersigned an injustice, but also all of the parties who have been interested in having this matter adjusted. In the statement you say that J. T. Edwards of Rochester contributed the sum of $75.00, by way of reimbursement in the suit above mentioned. This statement is not only untrue, as neither of us contributed one cent to you, or to any other person for you in this case, and your statement to this effect is wholly misleading. The undersigned agreed, after we were informed by Mr. Chack, your attorney that there would be a judgment in one case for $250.00 and a retraction published by you to pay the cost to other persons, which R. Shaw had reason to consider if he had to pay the costs. We were informed that this cost would be about $75.00, and desires of seeing this matter settled, we agreed that we would be responsible for this amount if this cost and would pay the same if this cost and would the litigation be between the parties. We further state that at all the times that we have conferred with you and with Rev. Shaw, it was our understanding and is our understanding now that, in the event a compromise was offered to print a retraction of the statement. And in the conference held in the court room with your attorney and the attorneys representing Rev. Shaw this was the understanding and was a part of the agreement. We also say that at no time has the Rev. Shaw or his attorneys approached him or set of setting this case; in such instances approached him and with a view of bringing about a settlement, and this we have done with your knowledge and consent, and we feel that the publication in last week's issue of your paper is a misstatement of facts, and we ask that you publish this we may be set right before the communityative to our connection.

And behind the other day a white Congressman shouted out words to the crowd that white people had better begin to more attention to the leaders which the Negro is apprehending, but less the leaders which the Negro is apprehending for himself get the better of the matter. He points out in plain words that the super-imposed leaders are beginning to be discarded by the Colored race, and asks that the white people who want "their Negroes" to stay on the job; better begin to give extra attention to them and help to build them in the request of Colored people. The Congressman beheshes the one; that whenever the favored leaders ask for anything "for the race" the whites must seem to give ear to it and to hear it favorably, so that the race will fall in line behind those usable leaders. To be brief and to the point, it is just like bear hunting; we set a trap and leave a piece of beef for the bear—that we might eat the whole bear later. It is up to the Negro race to open its eyes and consider in all such—since whether it wants a temporary or a permanent advantage. It is a plaza loam. ATTORNEY FOR CHAMBLISS SAYS HE IS INNOCENT Chicago Policeman Declares He Had No Part In White Girl's Downfall. Case Is Postponed For lack Of Direct Evidence (Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO. March 10.—The case of Dorsey Chambill, a policewoman, charged with abducting a white girl who applied to him for help and of keeping her prisoner for weeks, during which time she was visited by other men, has attracted considerable attention and made it impossible to secure to Louis B. Anderson for the defender to secure a fair trial in the courts. Chambill, this week on the advice of Attorney Louis B. Anderson, resigned from the police force. Bertha Wyreck, a white girl, sixteen years old, according to the charges against Chambill, came to Chicago to earn a living. The family in Panee attracted compliments and her brother was still in the Navy. Another girl came here to live. The Wyreck girl claimed that after being lost in the vicinity of Thirty-fifth and State streets, and seeing Chambill in a policeman uniform asked him the way to her stopping place. It is stated that Chambill lured the girl to a resort, keeping her a prisoner and forced her to receive visits from other men. The day, a pedestrian picked up a piece of paper on which she wrote a message to the girl's friend. "I am a prisoner. I am sick, please tell somebody to rescue me."—Signed —Bertha. The girl was finally located and taken to the City Hospital. suffering with pupnemonia and died later. A number of white clubs of women have taken active interest in the case and have demanded an early trial and a number of other extent are made made that Judge Stalk declared that he preferred not to hear the case. An editorial in the Chicago Tribune has been widely copied by Southern newspapers and the case, because of the color of the defendant has been given unusual noteworthy. The attorney for Chambliss claim the case is the innocent. The Chambliss attorneys having seen the girl and endowed to direct her to a home for girls on Indiana Avenue, he declared he had no part in her downfall. The delays in the prosecution of the case have been due to postponement by the attorney, who lack of evidence and it is unclear whether other delays or the case entirely dismissed because of the inability to secure witnesses to prove the charges. NEW YORK NEGROES BUYING UP PROPERTY FOR MORE HOMES NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 25—A candidate headed by G. R. Thompson, a real estate broker located in Harlem, contemplates a new buying movement that will probably extend the Negro district southward from 130th close to 125th street between 51th and Seventh avenue. Mr. Thompson said, The results of the general attitude of the people of the north have an important part in the present situation of the Negro of the South to Northern cities where his opportunities for free action are much better than in the South. "This is particularly true among the more well-to-do class who own farms and other industries from which they have unassessed small fortunes. These people are now educated to the degree of professionals which they have on demand. Southern banking institutions will earn more money in Northern markets and they are now forwarding the bulk of their life savings and the profits derived from recent crops to secure desirable living accommodations in New York City, both as an investment and to fill the demand which will be created in the Spring when there will be a greater migration. "At present there is nothing of the student required in Harlem except north of 153th street and south of 123rd street, where there are a number of up-to-date dwellings and apartments with the modern improvements which clients demand." "All of the available properties in the upper section of Harley have already been taken up by Colored inventors and tenants, therefore the attention of the new comers is now turned toward the new business," he said. "I believe they will soon overrun, as they have the necessary capital and are willing to pay the price. Cafe Proprietor Dies BALTIMORE, Md.

"Big Jim" was a die of the agey and criminal element among Negroes and hundreds of invaluable tips which aided the police and detectives in clearing up crime came from Robinson. Although it was known among the Negroes Robinson was frightened with the police, he was not distrusted by those of his own race, and he often interceded for those who found themselves in trouble.

Fanny Wise the incomparable song bird, with silvery tones of sweetness, is a delightful treat to the Booker Washington theatre patrons this week. Miss Wise is one of the rare ties on the vaudeville stage and her talent is highly appreciated here. She has a repertoire of beautiful songs and this week is offering the "Enchautress, Kiss Me Again," "Ninnia, and The Woman Thou Gavest Me. Miss Wise artistically expresses delicacy, warmth affection or empathy, warmth exaltation, and comaries with the blending prima donna of the operatic stage. The Idahoes are the curtain raisers. Their offering is a bit of comedy nonsense, with a number of songs and humorous sayings to pass the time in frivolity. Paul Floyd and Tom Lemoiner, in "The Butter and The Cook," use a squibble in a hotel as the vehicle to carry over their style of humor. Lemoiner plays on a spoon with two tobacco pipes in imitation of a xylophone and the team puts through some original compositions in duo which are not licable for harmony. Williams and Williams have a screamingly funny act with a absurd eccentricity. As a former traveler to the countryside for their stay before the audience and make well of the time with mirth proxoking sayings and antics. A bird song imitated and a thief's raped retreat are two of their hilarious and the audience screams with laughter.

Williams missed last season because of ill health, but is numbered among the stars this season in the big musical comedy review. "THE VALLEY OF. TOMORROW" AND "THE PRINCE AND BETTY" AT STAR. William Russell in "The Valley of Tomorrow," a gripping drama of conflicts: hate at war with love—vengeance with gratitude and old traditions with new ideas; will be the feature at the. Star Theatre on Sunday. It is a picture that has more than romance and humor, more than suspenseful action, more than beautiful settings, big stars and a fine story. It is drama with a real idea behind it. Will. Desmond in "The Prince and Betty" will be the Star special on Monday. It is a romantic comedy of a Yankee boy who becomes a real prince. It just bubbles with chuckles and laughter. It just throbs with drama and daring hearts. "THE SLAVES OF PRIDE" AT THE JEST-A-MERE Pride is the cause of many wrongs and much unhappiness. The extent to which pride may be carried is vividly shown in "The Slaves of Pride," Jest A Mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday. It is a tale that will grip the interest from the first flash. There are many intensely dramatic incidents in the production. Patricia Leeds marries Brewer Howard, whose master is. Pride. Although Howard loves Patricia, his, pride checks him from making any display of it. Patricia, in an attempt to break down this wall of Pride, closes with John Reynolds. Reynolds meets his death in a very tragic manner. Even this does not soften the heart of Howard. It takes a peculiar, freak of fate to bring this man to the proper realization of life and love. "BROKEN BUTTEN" AND "AN ADVENTURE OF HEARTS" AT THE PENDLÉTON Maurice Tourneur's dramatic picture, "Broken Butterfly," taken from the story Marceau, will be the feature of the Fugleston Theatre this Sunday and Monday.

The pathos of the virgin-hearted girl who gave all to the man she loved, was branded as a scarlet woman by a narrow-minded and bigoted woman who tried to brutalize her sensitive nature and break her spirit; and was driven to attempt self-destruction, is overwhelming. On Tuesday The Pendleton will show "An Adventure of Hearts." It is an entertaining yarn of adventure, love and plenty of excitement in a nobleman's castle in northern Italy. "Shoot With Fire" a romantic love story of the plains, presented by Wm. Fox, starring Williams Russell, will be soa! at the Comet Theatre this Sunday, March 14. In this story of western life, it is said, Mr. Russell surpasses himself in forceful acting and daring horsemanship.

IF THE IRISH, WHY NOT THE NEGRO? NEW YORK, March 3—The Wall Street Journal, the greatest and most influential financial publication in the country, draws the "deadly parallel" in discussing the Negro and Irish questions. It says: "With no intention of comparing the superresponsive Irishman to the Negro, but to draw an instructive international parallel. It is necessary to supplement the merely bigness comment made in these columns on the attempt to raise money for Irish propaganda by means of receipts for subscriptions improperly and deviously called 'bonde.'

"But let us imagine a close parallel. Let us suppose the Negroes of the former slave states, intelligently and unscrupulously led, resented the failure to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. Let us suppose that they formed a party for agitation, at home and abroad. Let us further assume that they kept the loyal white minority in constant costly uncertainty and alarm. Let us suppose that they called this party of agitation a "republic", and sent representatives to sit up feeling in England against the American government. "Substituting purely for supposition of course, 'Nego' for 'Nationalist', these delegates in England would be substantially in the same position as De Valera and his following now occupy in the United States. There would be exactly the same appeal to sympathy, because, to offset the Irish in America, there are explored races presumably in sympathy with our Negroes, greatly impairing them even as our Irish are still to unnumber the present inhabitants of Ireland.

In the process of what he would undoubtedly call, like Mr. De Valera, "self-determination." "It would be abound also to tell the Englishman that he was unable to understand a purely domestic problem, like that our American Negro presents. Not only could he tell us with considerable truth that he had been successfully governing colored races before we were weaned. He would only need to point to the all-pervading red on the map of the world to prove this case. "Under British law no such Negro bond issue could even be offered to the public. Under British good faith such an issue would not be tolerated even if it were legal. Fortunately we are in no danger.

In the meantime, there were two very exciting games of basketball on the Pine St. floor. The Secretaries romped over the Dermitory boys. The Hawaiian Boys nearly upset all the dope, when by playing the Bottoms Gang at a score of 9 to 6. While the first half ended in favor of the Hawaiian Boys, the Bottoms Gang got together during the intermission and came back at the beginning of the second half with blood in their eyes, taking the final stanza from the Hawaiians with a lead of three. On Saturday night of this week a larger program will be extended at the Yale in the hope of entertaining those who love close contests, both in the static art and in the game of basketball. Two amateur boxing bouts will be the curtain raiser on the program, while the next thing will be an exciting game between the Hawaiian Boys and the Normitory men. Although the Hawaiians have a little edge on the percentage of games won, still a very hard fight is expected. The feature of the program will be the Bottoms Gang Secretaries. Game. Since December 6th, the Bottoms Gang have had a continuous winning streak, and have played through the entire season without losing a game. The Secretaries also, have played through the season, losing but one game, and that to the Bottoms Gang. Certainly when these two rivals meet, some fast playing and some classy basketball will be the result. In view of the fact that there is to be a big athletic carnival on March 30th, which involves considerable expense, an admission fee will be charged to the program on Saturday night. Adults 25c, and children 15c. RECEIVES DIVORCE: MARRIES. Mrs. Octavia Carnody received her divorce from Theodore Carnody, December 12, 1919, and was married to Mr. U. R. B.

Bomont 1993-R BLACKENT PAGES OF HISTORY BALMORE, Md., NEWS It is of course disgraveful that in a city of the size of Lexington and supposed orderliness, such riots as accompanied the trial of the Negro Locketk should be countenanced for a minute. But due to the prompt action of Governor Morrison of Kentucky, still greater disgrage that a prisoner might have been forcibly taken from a court of justice was averted. This country cannot be considered to have reached a really high state of civilization until such outbreaks of elemental passion and bestiality as have been and are all too frequent are eliminated. It is noicing a common place say that the lynchings and attempted lynchings which occur to some extent all over the country, but more especially in the South, constitute some of the blackest pages of our national history and the most uncomfortable thoughts of all is that mob violence still seems far from extermination.

Associati Negro Press BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 25.—James Diggs of the American Association for Social Service, together with two other members of the organization, appeared before the Senate Committee on Education to urge an appropriation for a Colored State Normal School that can conveniently train the large number of of teachers required. Mr. Diggs also made it clear that the people of Maryland are bitterly opposed to various provisions of the bill recently introduced to raise the pay of teachers in the state. He urged that salaries for all teachers should be on an equal basis. NEGROES CELEBRATE LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY AT WANAMAKER'S STR. (Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 25.—The Negro employees of John Wanamaker contributed in a very appropriate way to the celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birthday in the auditorium of the store. Every day from 2:30 to 4:30 the body was adorned with fillets filled both orchestra and balcony. the Robert. Carlis Ogden Club, which is made of colored starters, elevator men and women, sang an entirely Negro program. The chorus was grouped in a semi-circle, about a picture of Lincoln set in the center of the platform, Alexander Ruseele, concert director, play-solos, exhortations and medleys. Viola Jackson, a girl with a very sweet high voice was much featured. The program included all the characteristic features of Negro singing, humming, falsetto variations and complicated harmonies. Colored Man Is Arrested For 20 Year Old Crime By Associated Negro Press SHREVEPORT, La., Feb. 25—Deputy Sheriff, J. L. McBurnett of Pine Buff, Ark., arrived in shrevesport from Lufkin, Tex., having in custody, "Cap" Banks, 34 years old; said to be wanted in three states on a charge of murder. According to the story told by the Pine Buff deputy, Banks is wanted in Arkansas for a murder committed nearly 20 years ago. He is alleged to have shot and killed a Negro woman while attempting to kill her father, and in his effort to escape after the shooting, he shot his brother in the arm when he caught him and tried to detain him. Banks was about 15 years old then, McBurnett said, but he made good his escape and left for parts unknown until a few years later he was heard of in Mississippi where, it is alleged, he shot and killed a man. He was next heard of at Lampkin, La., where he is charged with having shot a man. Look at tongue!

In the past we have been court but now, owing to our increased mind making this demand at the hand Among the things advocated by the Citizens' Liberty League, is a delegate-at-large from Missouri to the National Convention at Chicago next June. This recognition has been looked upon as impracticable by some because it has been said, "there are too many white men good Republicans who would be tickled to death to have the honor." Of course, if the Negro is to only receive the places of honor that none of his brother Republicans want, what reward has he for his years of loyalty to the Republican Party? If the Negro vote has been the deciding factor in the Republican victory lo! these many years, we see no reason why he should not enjoy some of the honor which comes as a result of his loyalty. Kentucky has set the pace and the Republicans of that state readily conceded to the race one of the Big Four, the only question of detail being just the name of the man. If the Negroes, by their vote were entitled to a delegate-at-large in Kentucky; surely we of Missouri are entitled to one. If the party leaders of Kentucky thought it good policy to elect a Negro to represent the State at the National Convention, surely the party leaders of Missouri will call it good political judgment and justice to give the race this recognition at Kansas City in May. As a group, there is none more loyal to the Republican Party than the Negroes. In the past we have been contented with the "alterate." But now, owing to our increased numbers, we are fully qualified in making this demand at the hands of the party leaders. MR.

The shuffle people are running, away with the foe leaders who cannot are bound to, and the principles of the League we like wild fire. This is true as is we becoming dangerous for any one to get. As we sat and heard the address of Hon. Charles Nagel before the Citizens' Liberty League last Wednesday night, one can't but see the greatness of the soul of the speaker. We use the word "great" adverbially, because it requires a man above the ordinary, to stand before the public and have the courage and backbone to speak his convictions without fear or favor, especially if one's convictions are predicated upon the broad principles of true Americanism. Strange as it may appear, we find in this day such few men who will take a stand for right and justice. They usually prefer a course along the lines of the least resistance, but the earnestness with which the speaker presented his case, convinced those who heard of the depth of his soul. Mr. Nagel's broad and comprehensive views on the big issues of today demonstrates his statesmanship, and the skill with which he handled his subject, stampa him as a diplomat of no mean ability. A man of Mr. Nagel's calibre in the United States Senatorial race would be an honor to the Republican Party of this State, his ability qualifying him far better to administer real service to the State and Nation than anyone who has thus far entered the race. The spirit of the Citizens' Liberty League is spontaneous among the colored people of this city. And, too, there are a large number of good Republicans, white-men, who are with us. They say we are right and are entitled to the support of all true Republicans. Among the strong recruits who joined the ranks of the League during the great war are Rev. N. L. Smith, pastor, Lane's Tubernacle, C. M. E. Church and Rev. B. G. Shaw, pastor, Metropolitan A. M. E. Do Colored Editors Mean To Pussyfoot? (The Edgar G. Brown) Indianaville, Ind. March 2. As, I have been a meaningful reader of your printed paper for over a year I would like to admit to you the following comments which I hope you will find here in your paper to print: I have received one hundred and two letters from editors all, over the country, which, on the whole, extinguished this sentiment: "I am not perplexed immediately in who is the members of the Republican party. It matters not what his name may be or what his vacation may be, if I be able on the question affecting my race and the function of this country he is my candidate." I am to complete sympathy with the thought that he (candidate) must be right on the new question. I would be a truist if I were not, and I also believe that the candidate of the Republican party must be an out and out American, concerned primarily with the business of the country like business of old and the into Theodore Roosevelt.

I take direct exception to the statement, that it matters not what his (the candidate's) name may be; because, first this statement, means nothing but evasion of the issue and savors of the usual political pessimism, and secondly because back of a candidate's name is the man and his record, both of which can be studied. One hundred, and twenty three editors, have fearelessly chosen General Wood as the champion of the square deal to all men. What is the matter with the one hundred and two? The facts, the past records, and the present utterances, and platform of General Leonard Wood are open to all alike. Are we to forever go on leading only where there is darkness? I think the colored people of the United States are entitled to know that General Wood is right on our question, that he is the only candidate up to date to openly champion the cause of our justice, white or black, who is in trouble and that it does matter to two million colored voters what the candidate's name is in president of the greatest Democracy in the world. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS-FRIDAY,MARCH 12,1920 AMERICAN WOODMEN MEETING At no time since the advent of the American Woodmen in St. Louis has the outlook and progress of Woodcraft been more aggressive, or more real enthusiasm and general good will been more manifest than now. And was so clearly manifested and exhibited in its monster meeting last Monday night. Among the many new joiners, a considerable number of ex-members rejoined and most cordially reaffirming their allegiance. Supreme Commander White, Maf. Gen. Jones, Vice Supreme Commander H. L. Billups and others fired and stirred the magnificent, cultured and appreciative audience.

This fact alone should be food for thought among those of us who are thinking. It is the greatest business in the race, as well as the most beneficial organization ever operated or started by people. Our city, St. Louis, is larrest in population in which it operates at present, and the Standard has enjoyed a steady growth from year to year; but St. Louis should be in its proper place and that is second to none. Their St. Louis agency, which is headed by Dr. J. E. Wallace and composed of four other highly efficient young men, is as capable as can be found and warrants you giving your undivided attention to their interview.

Ms. Georgia Binford, our sister and co-worker in this the finishing department of Poro College, departed this life Tuesday, March 2nd, in the year of our Lord, 1820. We as members of the Poro Volunteer Club, do with much sorrow and anguish, regret our loss, not why should we murmur at our Heavenly Father's will, when we remember that our loss is Heaven's gain. Sister Binford as we all know was a devoted Christian woman, as her daily life among us proved her dearly worth of her profession. In the mist of her affliction we found her patient, though she could not and the timely, well-poised words of Mera, Dora Stevenson, ending with the introduction of the little boy, Singleton Palmer, brought great applause. Said applause was magnified by a celebrated momentum really brought down the house and a shower of colns, when this typical little Afro-American, representing the Brush Burners, Juvenile Department of the A. W., had finished his charming declamation. Then came the climax, when our Co. B. U. R. K. of (visiting) under the management of Capt. A. S. Morgan (now Brig. Gen. U. R. A. W.) made its display which evoked long, strong, loud enthusiastic applause. Free refreshments were served in abundance by royal hands; of the good-volunteer ladies of the order, under Neighbor Adams, chairman, assisted by Maj. M. Malone, Ladies' Division U. R. A. W., and others. speak to us, though she could not nod her head in answer to anything we might ask of her; yet we could see mirrored in her countenance those sweet attributes of resignation and peace, that peace which floweth as a river. How she would enjoy the prayer meetings we would have from time to time. The last one in which she was being offered by our own sister throughout the entire prayer, which was being offered by our own sister Green. On the following day she remarked to Mrs. Tyndell, the forelady, "We need more prayer." Yes we miss her pleasant smiles, her spirit of willingness to serve in any capacity, and her place can ne'er be filled. We know that she has gone to join that innumerable host in the Great Beyond, where sickness, sorrow, pain and Death are felt and feared no more, where they need not, the light of the sun, for the Son of God giveth light to the city. Sadly missed by Poro Employees. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to extend our most heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Malone and the members of the Volunteer Club of Poro College for their services rendered and kindness shown us in our bereavement in the death of our wife and mother Georgia 'Bentford, also for the beautiful floral offerings. DEATH. NOTICE. Mrs. Rosie Porter died at her home in Kinloch, Mo., March 3, and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery. She was a veteran of religious activity in the church, and leaves to mourn their loss: husband, two sons, three daughters, two sons-in-law and a host of friends. G. W. GUTHRIE.
