Dr. LeRoy N. Bundy, formerly a dentist in Easth St. Louis, walked out of the Chester (Illinois) Penitentiary last Sunday morning, to again breathe the air of freedom. Dr. Bundy was convicted of murder because of the East St. Louis (Illinois) riot on July 2, 1917. He was sentenced to life, after a jury trial in the circuit court at Waterloo, Illinois, in March, 1919. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the State, but being convicted of a capital offense, the doctor was taken to the penitentiary until the State Supreme Court would pass on the appeal. morning. They came to St. Louis and are now stopping at the home of her parents on Kennerly avenue. No case before the public has ever lattered the people more than that of Dr. Bundy. The great legal victory which results in his release is due, only, to unceasing vigilance. In this, Attorneys Houston and Calloway are especially praised, and the faithfulness of his wife is to be commended. Grounds for Appeal. Dr. Bundy's case is expected to be determined by the State Supreme Court of Illinois during the June term. Numerous charges of errors committed Released on Bond. After the appeal was perfected application was made for a writ of supercedens which would entitle him to the right of bail pending the final determination of the case by the Supreme Court. The writ having been granted, and the bond given, Dr. Bundy was released from custody at the State prison. The bond was placed at $50,-000 and the majority of the surrettes live in Chicago. The doctor's faithful wife arrived in Chester with the papers Saturday evening, March 20, and the dentist was released on Sunday. POLICEMAN AND WOMAN IN CHICAGO CASE GO TO JAIL Evidence Indicates White Girl Was Not Prisoner In Colored Home. Prosecution Called Political Frame up. CHICAGO, Ill., March 21.—Dorsey Chambilis, Colored, former policeman, and Mrs. Emmia Ross, jointly indicted on charges of conspiracy as the result of the deathbed statement of Bertha Wiebek, a white girl, have surrendered themselves and are in the county jail, failing to produce the $50,000 bonds demanded by the Court. F. L. Barnett, Chamblis' attorney, accompanied his client to the cell. He stated that no attempt would be made to get the prisoner on bonds at present. Later, he declared, he will go to court and ask that the bonds of $50,000 as set by the grand jury, which he declares are excessive, be reduced. The grand jury had recommended that the bonds should not be cut. The case has created widespread publicity and it is declared by many that the prosecution is the result of a political frame-up. Girl Not a Prisoner. Assistant State's Attorney James T. McShane says the evidence reveals that the white girl was not kept prisoner in the Rose woman's home, but went Treely to employment at the twine plant of the International Harvester Co. during the day, returning each night to the house. Shape says that just before the girl died she made the statement that she had been in Chicago, working at different places from September 29 to the latter part of November, when she met the policeman. She said she was looking for some one to move her trunk and he offered to telephone a drayman for her and her into a cafe near Thirty-fifth and State St., which is notorious as what is known in Chicago as a "black and tan" cafe. (A place frequented by both whites and Colored.) After telephoneing he suggested that they have something to drink and each took a glass of beer. The girl told about dependent parents and her failure to earn enough money to help them, and says she kept an engagement with Chambliss, the next night, and he took her to the Ross woman's house. She later accompanied another Negro, Jan. A. (Peg) Murphy to another house, where she became ill from cold. She wrote a note to a girl friend, telling her she was sick, but said nothing about being a prisoner. By this her I'e was revealed, and the charges made against Chambliss. She contracted pneumonia during her stay at the hospital. Although the claim is made that the girl was only 17 years old she registered for employment with the international Harvester Co. as having been born in July, 1897.

The St. Louis Argus morning. They came to St. Louis and are now stopping at the home of her parents on Kennerly avenue. No case before the public has ever increased the people more than that of Dr. Huntley in the local victor, which results in the release is due, only to unceasing vigilance. In this, Attorneys Houston and Calloway are especially praised. End the faithfulness of his wife is to be commended. Grounds for Appeal. Dr. Bundy's case is expected to be determined by the State Supreme Court of Illinois during the June term. Numerous charges of errors committed in his trial are assigned as grounds for reversal of the judgment. One of the notable grounds was the fact that one of the jurors, within a week after the case was finished, became violently insane and is how confined in one of the state institutions of Illinois. Others Convicted. As an outgrowth of the riot in July, 1917, ten colored and blue white men are now in the penitentiary of Illinois, and two white men have been sentenced and are now out on bond pending their appeal. Whitston was invited to take a drink of whiskey several times, and later took drinks without waiting for an invitation. A fight started when Gattermeyer protested. Whitston was indicted for murder.

CONDEMNED MAN'S REQUEST FOR AID REVEALS IDENTITY Frank Kelly, Awaiting Execution At Sing Sing Is Bus Cain, Who Escaped Springfield (Mo.) Mob. (Associated Negro Press) BROOKLYN, N. Y., March 24—Frank Kelly, awaiting execution at Sing Sing for the murder of Catherine Dunn, in Flatbush, on Dec. 20, and self-confessed slayer of Emma McDonald some months earlier, is known in the West as Bus Cain, a murderer and fugitive from justice. Cain, it is learned, fourteen years ago at Springfield, Mo., escaped from the clutches of a mob that burned three other Negroes at the stake. Since the tynching bee in Missouri, the wanderings of Cain, or Kelly, have taken him over both Americas, North and South. The news that he had been sent to the death-house in this State has just been received at Springfield. To the majority of those who remembered his earlier crimes he had long been considered dead. To the good people of Springfield he had passed to an unknown beyond. When news that Frank Kelly was an rested on Dec. 29 for the murder of Carline Dunn in the home of her Flatbush employer, Clarence S. Clark wasashed throughout the country, the real deaths did not suppose for a moment that he was Bus Cain. Nor were their suspicions aroused when, during the trial, he placidly revealed how he had shot to death some months before Emma McDonald, the B. R. T. ticket agent, whose body was found in a sandpit near Carnarville. The truth did not become known until a few days ago, when Kelly, imbued with the desperation of a convicted criminal, asked Springfield relatives for aid in securing an appeal of his case.

CHURCH UNION Says Broad And Indelible Color Line Is Drawn, And Christianity Only Goes A Part Of The Way, Church Loses Golden Chances. Bishop Collins Denny, of Richmond, Va. denounces the proposed unification of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the M. E. Church, South. Bishop Denny says the North had to continually yield to the South to get Negro proportional representatives. Says Cotor. Line Is Drawn. "This constitution draws a broad and indelible color line. It is dyd alternately black and white. On what reasonable, moral, Christian ground can it be claimed that our Negro brethren are to be constitutionally shut out of all other white conferences, quarterly, district, annual, regional, and on that identical ground are to be admitted to the general conference, and to be admissible on their option to the church conference?'" The regional conferences in the United States are by caption set off from our Colored brethren and by specification are geographically divided. "The action is that the Negro is included from membership in every white conference in the United States for which provision is made, with the solitary exception of the general conference, and if the Negro should claim the right of the church conference. The joint commission of fifty members gave fifty votes for these exclusions. In this action in the third article of the constitution, and as some claim in the two preceding articles, were these fifty men guilty of unkind, unjust, an Christian dealing with their Colored brethren? How can it be made plain to one who is truly willing to be taught that it is a manifestation of Christianity to exclude the Negro from all other conferences, while Christianity demands that he shall be included in the general conference? "Tried and efficient service to 12,000,000 homeborn, and home-loving fellow citizens, hired to a proposed united American church, the most golden opportunity with which church ever stood face to face. And they have for us, as the admitted claim of preferred creditors to highest service. Without the slightest purpose to cast a stone at those whose ships gave the ancestors of the Negro free passage paid by the sale of the carbo, or at those whose homes and fields furnished the unremunerated sphere of their toll, it must be admitted that the responsibility for their presence among us falls alike on England and America, and in America on the North no less than on the South. Their presence among us and their need make an appeal that must be felt and acknowledged by every heart that can be touched by tenderness, by every soul open to sympathy." EXTRADITION OF HILL TO ARKANSAS REFUSED BY ALLEN TOPEKA, Kan. March 23. The extradition petition of Arkansas for the return to that state of Robert Hill, alleged leader in the Elaine insurrection last fall, was refused by Gov. Allen, who announced his decision this morning. The long hearing was concluded shortly after midnight last night. Hill immediately was arrested by a United States Deputy Marshal on a charge of impersonating an United States officer in Arkansas. He alleged that Hill organized the Colored farmers in Arkansas and a class between them and the whites resented in the race riots at Elaine in October. Eleven Colored men are under death sentence waiting for their cases to be reviewed by the Supreme Court. Arkansas Governor Feels Outraged. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. March 23. Gov. C. H.

This number was not available so the fire Colored men employed were urged by the association to resign and did so. Get Inspiration From The St. Louis Organization.

KINLECH PARK FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH It is very pleasing to note the increasing manifestation of pure religion among the members of the First Baptist.

The young minister's program in the afternoon was subject. There were eleven ministers present and many a good thing was said.

"Lifetime" Furniture At The Only McNichols THE kind of furniture you admire, believe in and want for your own home is in the McNichols Store. This is the safest store for inexperienced home furnishers, for we follow no fads---we are conservative and every piece of furniture represents a true and tried furniture period. We offer you the most intelligent, the most cheerful co-operative selling service. McNICHOLS PRICES ARE in most instances as low as the price asked for furniture that is neither true nor lasting. We invite you, who do not know this interesting furniture store, to test our statements and see for yourself the McNichols values. THE ONLY MONICHOLS MARKET STREET AT ELEVENTH In Sunday morning's service the Pastor preached from John 5.33—Search the scriptures, for in them we think we have eternal life. The brotherhood rallied at 3 p.m. most assisted by Lane Tabernacle and its worthy pastor, Rey N. L. Smith, who preached on "Love and Grace." Dear absentees, could you have been there when the bon and the lamb lay down together and all hearts beat as one being surcharged with the galvanic power of God's love. We were locally reminded of the day of pentecost. There was a bountiful shower, the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, raised raised $97.88, of which amount $42.88 was given by Lane's Tabernacle. Our most ardent wish is for a speedy return of Lane's Tabernacle and her worthy shepherd, Dr Smith, to whom we are deeply grateful and indebted. Rey L. Fuller filled the stairmnt at night and preached a wonderful sermon that is noteworthy for its brevity, yet entire completeness. "Who shall separate us from the love of God" (Rom. 8.35) These humble walls are ringing and reeching with the praises of our God with a touching cadence that be speaks an early separation. On the fourth Sunday in April we will leave the scenes of our early struggle for our new home at 3966 Fairfax avenue, and on that day Mr Olive No.1 ceases to exist and the Fairfax Avenue Missionary Baptist Church springs into being. We cannot but mourn over this mound that closes over our soubour here yet we rejoice and are sad to go home. We are rallying Monday. March 28th Everybody is welcome and we are expecting all friends and sister churches to be present and strengthen our forces for bombarding this last entrenchment between us and home.

There's dancing of all kinds at the Booker Washington Theatre this week and enough harmonious melodies, lively times and fresh fun to keep the audience in a hilarious mood through- out the program. Jelly Sanders opens the show. He alternates, rumbling, with jiggling, working up to a climax through a series of clever and difficult feats unsurpassed on the stage. He carries throughout a dry, droll humor that keeps the crowd laughlaugh. One of his rare feats is the *Braynese Twist*, performed in the air with his head as a pivot. As a final thriller he pitches a large metal ball in the air and catches it on the back of his neck several times. The Cole Trio, two men and a woman, are a tuneful bunch, with a repertoire of songs, dances, and smart talk. The woman sings the blues, the real homie kind, and scores a big hit. The team has a lovely dance finale with comedy appendage, and take the house by storm. Nettie Perry, always the best little buck dancer to visit here, is making her usual hit this week. Nettie also sings a naughty song and dresses the part, or rather eliminates the dress and displays her form to advantage. She wins her share of the applause. Russell & Russell, close the show in a whirlwind of grotesque excerpts. They hit the audience with a long, right from the start, and keep it up to the end. They have a number of spicy jokes mixed with their dipy antics and put over some neat hoff shoe dancing. The entire act goes big, keeps the audience laughing and closes in a future of fun. Next Week. A rich and varied program with spicy ingredients, will be offered the Booker Washington patrons next week. Among the performers will be Charlie Young, our favorite tenor; Trixie Smith, singing comedian; Melba, the Great, and Thorne; also another star attraction. A big week is promised. THE GREATEST QUESTION'S AT THE JEST-1-MERE Uttar despair filled her heart. Hope- less poverty, sickness, misery, seemed her fate. In the country graveyard, she had erected a little shrine in memory of her boy who had been lost in the great blockade at sea. To that she turned for comfort, even as mothers have turned before. But behind her cherished hope and faith, there was a great question. This strange soul question is the central situation in 'The Greatest Question,' which will be seen at the Jest-A-Mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday. It is a story of the hereafter and D. W. Griffith, the producer, daringly faces a theme that philosophers and followers of the study of cognition have been tild about teaching. It is one of the most pronouncements made upon this problem of the area. CORNES PROPERTY AND THE FAIR AT THE STAR The Trap, a story of a school teacher and a Klondike romance will be shown at The Star Theatre this Satur- day. On Sunday, Harry Carey will be seen in "The Rider of the Law." Concerna an officer of the famous old Texas rangers, who was torn between his oath as an officer and family affection. Duty requires him to arrest his half-brother for stoning he makes the arrest but gives him a man's chance to get away. The brother goes to his death bravely. "THE HUMBED HOUR" AND "BALOME," PENELODE FEATURE *Hirschie Sweet in* "The Hundred Hour," will be at the Pendleton T her this Sunday and Monday. Its history is unusual; its apprehension doubts for it in all walks of technically, 48 ranks as one of the most perfectly produced photoplays which has yet been made. *Thunba Bara in* "Salome" or the Dance of the Seven Vells, will be at the Pendleton on Tuesday and Wed- day. The dance is one of the most fantastic and magnificent speciales in all drama, and is always a feature in modern versions of the old Biblical s story. It plays an important part in the narrative. Herod, in the tolls of the temptations, promises him to be a request, no matter how difficult it is, and will dance for him. Balome dances and fires the tyrant of Judas to a supreme passion. Then she makes the request. "My husband's Other Wife" and "The Confession" at the Criterion. "My husband's Other Wife," a drama that reveals the inner heart of life behind the scenes, a play that bears footlight life and family love, will be the feature of the Criterion. The show this Saturday at the Criterion will show "The Confession" in this picture you will hear in stirring young chap in the brilliance of youth, life and love is falsely accused of a terrible crime; see how clamorous he is and how enthralled the crime him and led him to his infilated down. See how false stepped in and rescued him. See the inspiring play that thrills it at entertain that makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you sad, makes you glad. See the mighty Henry II.

During his short stay there, he not only impressed the fans of that city as being the congenial business-like kind of a man who should be at the head of the new church but he left behind him an impression that baseball is something more than a mere recreation and pastime institution, and in a clear and condescension, he showed the most prominent business man of Detroit, that their new league club is one of their most valuable assets, judged from every standpoint and measured by every standard by which values are fixed.

By Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., March 24. As the result of the stoppage of immigration and the wholesale emigration which are expected to follow the lifting of the wartime bars, the American Negro has been presented with the greatest industrial and economic opportunities he has ever known in America. Walter E. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said at a labor meeting held under the direction of the State Labor Bureau in Mother Zion Church. "To enable the Negro fully to take advantage of his opportunities," White said, "the color line must be abolished in fact as it has already been abolished on paper by the American Federation of Labor." "Thus only," he said, "will it be possible to develop an intelligent and well trained group of Negro workers who can demand recognition from best employer and labor union. "The Negro's opportunity has come not because of any lessening of the prejudice a half century of which has contributed to submerge Negro labor, but by reason of the stoppage of immigration from Europe. "The Negro's problem of meeting more prejudice will not be entirely solved by this economic and social change. But the new opportunities for Negro labor. I believe, are destined to be the greatest single factor in the colored man's fight for emancipation from the slavery of color discrimination." "As Negro labor is drained away from the South, the South's pocketbook will be touched. Eventually the South must be willing to accord to those Negroes who remain every right and privilege of a United States citizen. Already thousands of acres of fertile land are barren and unutilized, cotton and corn growing are seriously hampered by labor shortage and turpentine and milling interest are gravely affected. "But if the Negro migrant is allowed to come North with no effort to as simulate him, new dangers are created. Lying propaganda prepared the trot. Chileno, Omata and Washington. Negro migrants were not only lied about; they were mercilessly exploited. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com missioner, spoke at the meeting of health conditions and the labor problems among Negroes. WOOD IS LOGICAL CANDIDATE FOR THE COLORED AMERICANS INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, March 31 —Among the rank and file of the people the question is being asked. "How can we support anyone but Leonard Wood?" He is right on the race question—as was said in the motion made before the Colored voters of Indiana assembled in Indianapolis by Atty. Tidrington Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and seconded by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robt. L. Brokeburr. "We, the Colored voters of Indiana, are for General Wood first, last and all the time primarily because he has the courage to champion the rights of truly 100 per cent American citizens, the American Negroes." And now, following the rejection of Governor Lowden by the Colored Republicans of Missouri, assembled in St. Louis because of his attitude toward the East St Louis riot and his misleading statements at the Chicago riot, the Colored Republicans in Ohio have taken up arms against Senator Harding under the fearless leadership of Honorable Ralph Taylor because he refused to reconceive 150,000. Colored voters by refusing them a delegate to the Chicago Convention and, Senator Harding returned last week from Texas, where he went on this invitation of the "Lily white." General Wood, true to his record left a place open for a Colored delegate. Here is General Wood's statement: "I know no American by his color." A vote for the Primaries for a vote for the Indiana slogan at the Primaries.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMM. IN VIRGINIA SELECTS NEGRO SEC KEYSTONE, W. Va. March 24—At a meeting of the Republican Executive Committee of McDowell County, W. Va. held in the Court Home at Wichita, the county seat on February 28th. The Edison captain, owner, and Business Manager of the Time was unanimously elected Secretary of the Committee. Mr. Bill is the first and only colored man in the state to be so honored by a County Committee of either party. The McDowell County Republican Executive Committee is composed of twelve members, two from each of the Magisterial districts elected by the Republican voters every four years at a Primary election; of the present committee, eight age white and four are colored of which Mr. Hill is one. McDowell County is the second largest county in the State and gives the largest republican majorities. T. Edward Hill is the president of the McDowell County Colored Republican Organization, composed of more than 5000 colored voters, 27 members of which, hold elective offices in the county, 19 hold appetitive positions in County and State from Degaty Sheriffs to State Supervisor of Colored Schools, the annual salaries of the members of this organization from the public treasury aggregate approximately $22,000,000 excepting fees received by Justice of the Peace, Constable and Deputy Sheriffs and per diem of jurors in Criminal and Circuit courts. From April 1917 to June 1918, Mr. Hill was Record Clerk in the office of the Secretary of State of West Virginia resigning to devote all of his time to the McDowell Times. Hon Houston Young, Secretary of State of West Virginia, extended to him the courtesy of recommending his success or Hon John G. Gillmer, Charleston, former State Librarian, who was appointed and still holds the position. COLORED WOMEN ARE ACTIVE IN POLITICS OF KENTUCKY STATE Uz Associated Negro Form LA GRANGE KY. March 24. Although Kentucky women will not get full suffrage this year, but will vote in the Presidential election, Negro women have already entered politics. This is the first time in the history of the South when Negro women have taken any apparent interest in politics, and certainly the first when a woman member of that race has participated as a fully accredited delegate at a convention. When the 7th Congressional District Republican delegates met here preparatory to the state convention, among them was Annie Simus Ranks, of Winchester, Ky., one of the delegation from Clark county, who not only took part in the pressings but was appointed a member of the rules committee, and as such helped prepare the report submitted to the state convention. She was referred to whenever it became necessary as "the lady from Clark," and was recorded as much courtesy as any other delegate. When the resolutions committee reported Mrs. Ranks gave a short talk, which was heard with much interest. She said: "We are just beginning to open our eyes in politics but before long we are going to make ourselves felt and you can depend on Nance Simus Ranks of Winchester to do her part for the grand old party." Added interest was given to the meeting by the pressure in the hall of other Negro women, who however had no voice in the convention. They watched the pressings closely. Negro Representation Not Provided In Plans For Methodist Union (Associated Negro Press) CINCINNATI, Oct. 24th 2015 Bishop Joseph C Hartzell spoke on "The Status of Unification of Methodism" at a meeting of the Methodist Ministers Association, recently at the Methodist Book Concern. His subject dealt with the question of the union of the Methodist Churches North and South and the question which is involved the status of the Negro. The plan for union emphasizes the representation of the minority which is the Methodist Church South, but does not adequately provide for Negro representation which also is a minority proposition. Dr Kulbabin agreed with Bishop Hartzell saying that he would go to Atlantic City to meet a delegation of North and South ministers of the Presbyterian Church to discuss the matter. New Odd Fellows Building Planned For Harlem NEW YORK, N. Y. March 24 Negro Cold Fellows of Harlem are out to raise $100,000 to build a lodge hall in Harlem, which is to provide a suitable meeting place for them. It will contain an auditorium reception room, restaurant, and other conveniences. ASKS FAIR PLAY FOR COLORED PEOPLE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS BRIDGEPORT COMM. March 24 Fair play and no favor was the thread of the argument and address of Law wer William H. Lewis of Boston at the high School auditorium in his plan for fair play for the Negro. Mr Lewis and that much of the future of America depends upon the Negro. They are believers in the press out order of things are not socialis- tion or communists and are believers in the guest of work. "We can depend on our own merit and take our own chances of given up portions in industries and will show our own character and will go up of down on our own merit as we do better. $3,000,000 FOR COLORED HOSPITALS IN SOUTH Pr. Associated News Press NEW YORK, N.Y. March 14. The purpose their large population only three Southern States have hospitals under church control exclusively for our groups. The Interchurch World Movement proposes to build such hospitals in nine additional states at a cost of $100,000. Hospitals in Jacksonville, Nashville, and New Orleans will be supported by the movement and at least one general hospital is planned for Alabama Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi Missouri both the Carolinas Texas and Virginia all states without a hospital. Negro executives will be provided by a training school in some Southern State. The original plan was to build this training school in Tennessee but Louisiana has presented a claim for it, and there is a probability that it will be established in New Orleans. Homes for destitute Negro children form another need to be met. If the plan of the Interchurch World Movement is carried out, such homes under church control will be established in South Carolina, Arkansas and Mississippi.

Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The record breaking arrest, trial, condemning, sentencing and executing of a Negro, all in twenty-four hours at San Augustine, Texas, a few days ago is a mockery at justice, and gives the lie to the definition of America of justice and fair play to all. the claim of the mob in this case, the hust of the mob, which was several thousand, was satisfied. But the worst of all is, according to press reports, the man went to his death, yea, to meet his maker, protesting his innocence. The jury that indicted him did it through fear; the jury that convicted him did it through fear; and the judge who imposed the sentence did it through fear and intimidation. Surely this Jooks like a case of legalizing lynchings. The only difference being the methods used. It is yet fresh in the minds of most of us the cases where Negroes were convicted by white jurors at Elainei Ark, in less than ten minutes and, too, the case in Louisiana where a juror who failed to convict a Negro whom he felt was not guilty was ducked several times and forced to return to the jury room and sign a conviction to save himself from being drowned. These instances are but a few that come to light of the practices of the court proceedings that figure in the trials of Negroes in the South. We cannot but protest again this new form of lynching. Ere long all a mob will have to do is to form or make a demonstration and the victim is lynched by judge and jury. We therefore call upon all the country who stand for law and order, justice and fair play, and especially the press, to join in this protest against the wrong, stand for an advocate righteousness and justice. GOVERNOR ALLEN REFUSES EXTRADITION. Governor Allen of Kansas has refused to grant papers to extradite one Robert Hill, a Negro, back to Arkansas, where an indictment is pending against him for the alleged part he played in the race troubles in that State last fall. After heating arguments pro and con Governor Allen decided that Hill, because of his color, could not receive a fair trial in Arkansas. This, to our mind, was a righteous decision. We doubt very much whether Hill would have received even a mock trial, since he has been sought by the authorities of Arkansas as the arch criminal, because he is alleged to have been the organizer of the farmers through the South. We appreciate the fact that to flatly deny or turn down the request of a Governor of a sister State for a fugitive is hard to do. But in the case of Robert Hill, it was evident that he could not receive a fair trial. The Governor of Arkansas could not give any assurance or proof that justice would be meted out according to law. Arkansas' record was brought into the case and it condemned every argument the officers made in their efforts to extradite Hill. Her record in lynchings, her record in the mock trial of the thirteen men who are under death sentence, and her record of general practice of injustice toward the Negroes of her own State, stood out so prominently that arguments to the contrary had no standing before a court of justice. Governor Allen could not have acted otherwise in the face of the record of the State of Arkansas. And if Governor Brough feels "outraged," the fault lies at his own door. Governor Allen was justified. Good health is more to be desired than riches. A mob of ten thousand people in St. Louis are ready to beseege James Moore Hickson who will conduct diving healing meetings here next week. There has been some timely suggestions sent out from Tuskegee on this subject. The week of April 9th is to be observed as health week. "Clean up" and "paint up" are the leading points to be considered. Sanitary homes and sanitary surroundings will contribute much to the general health of all in the community. Most diseases are contagious, for that reason we cannot escape being interested in our neighbor. Therefore we talk "clean up" until all catch the spirit. We should suggest that the Central Civic League take up this matter and conduct a campaign by distributing literature and placard the city. Housing Condition. Fifteen thousand Negroes came into this city almost over a night during the East St. Louis race roots, thus housing conditions have become a problem. Many of the real estate agents are complaining that the "new comers" are unstable, and are a liability rather than an asset. We can do a great deal toward overcoming that charge by looking after the property which we occupy; that is, when a board is broken, off the fence, door steps, etc., replace it. Keeping aides off the tools and rags out of the sinks. Advise the children against sticks and rocks, for rocks will knock out window lights, and sticks will scar the walls and knock down the plastering. All of which is expensive to the agent or owner. Of course there is no reader of the Argus who thinks it is cheaper to move than it is to pay rent. That was an old saying that never was well founded. It is better still to buy a home. It gives independence and commands respect. All of these thoughts will command our attention during health week. PAGE EIGHT The St. Louis PUBLISHED BY THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS J. N. MITCHELL MERBERT T.

GOVERNOR ALLEN REFUSES Governor Allen of Kansas has resigned one Robert Hill, a Negro, backement is pending against him for the race troubles in that State last fall.

Y., March 21 a large number of the Colored voters administrators in South District) are planning to run Dr. Walter, a Wood cathart for delegate to the National Convention. There are more than one thousand, Negro voters in this district. The possible candidate is a well-known Trinity College and was pastor for some time of St. Luke's P. E. Church, Washington, P. C. **PORTLAND, Me., Milbrh 24.** "Is Wood capable? asks the Portland, Maine, Times and answers "Yes." "His experience," adds the Times, has made him a leader of men. His training has fitted him to form his opinion after a system of elimination. These qualifications surrounded by strong men will soon restore our lost nerve. "HICAGO, March 24. Illinois rapidly is becoming the storm center of the Republican presidential campaign through the Middle West. The character of the fight that Gen. Wood proposes to make in Governor Lowden's home state, has been partly disclosed. The Wood forces have made plans for a billboard campaign that compares with that made for a presidential nominee just before election. The auditorium and nearly all the loop theatres have been leased for noonday meetings; and men of national prominence are to come into the State to speak for Wood. The usual trimming of hands will be employed, the big drive to start immediately after April 1, leading up to the preferential primary of April 13.

Many Colored men are declaring for the general and there are indications which point to a general desection of the Low- dens at the first favorable moment. No one seems to be able to assign a reason for the apathy of Illinois Colo- ral voters. I am not sure it is simply in the air. In the words of a prominent Colored business man, who does not care to have his name mentioned because of his business re- actions. We just like General Wood's stand on the question of manhood rights. He declares himself for the man who is an American in times of peace and in times of war. That's good enough for me I don't ask a man to stand for my obtaining my rights because I am a black man, but because I am an American.

Pittsburg Cops On Rampage (Associated Negro Press) PITTSBURG, Pa.: March 24 — Bitter complaints from one (Larence Webster and others concerning the treatment of a Negro boy) in New York City by the police of the First district, are being received by the city authorities.

It was claimed the laboring girls gags the worst treatment. As a result, Council has ordered a report to the Court, assigned to the Centre Ave police station until further notice, to protect the rights of all Negroes brought in by the police. The Danger Of Bolshevism Associated New Press News NEW YORK, N.Y., March 24—Hugh S. Martin, former captain in the United States Army and Chief of the Military Intelligence Service in North Russia, told of the danger from radical propaganda among the Negroes in this country. He said, recently, "Bob shekheri propaganda is endeavoring to find a United States population of the United States foreign workers in this country, in a proper permanent solution lies in a proper understanding between the two races. Point out to a Negro that, although radicalism offers him temporary respite in the end, as we have so clearly seen in Russia the burden of inertia, we will safely open him up to freedom." WHITE WOMAN DEFENDS HONOR OF COLORED MEN Miss. Observer "Says Lustful And Vicious Charges Are Unwarranted and Unfounded. WHITE MEN ARE THE GREATEST OFFENDERS Why Is It That There Are Four Million Mullatoes In The United States And This Number Growing Yearly?" HARRIS, Jan., March 24. When it comes to upstanding, unquestioned propaganda of justice, a young white woman signed herself Miss Critical Observer," put the following story in the right place. The Daily Baltimore American says, "Miss Observer:" American white women for decades have been blindfolded and duped as the Colored man. The Colored man has been held up before our eyes as a lustful and vicious creature as a consequence, great masses of us, lack of individual experience and because of ignorance of literature and statistics, bearing on the truth of the case, have come to believe the unwarranted, unfounded charge against the Colored man as a class. But the undeniable rockbottom truth is that the Negro men are no more prone to commit heinous crimes against women than are other men. If there be any who doubt the truth of this statement of them make a comparative study of the statistics bearing on lecherous crimes against women and their doubts will vanish. The result of the comparison will be in favor of the Colored-men. If I were to publish the figures, I have on my desk I would startle my readers. Colored men in other countries such as Canada, Central America, South America, West Indies and Africa are not pictured as the arch assaultants of women. In fact, it is said that the attitude of the native African toward women is superior in point of decency to that of the men in the most highly cultured countries. When I am told that the Colored man is so lastly inclined. I ask why it is that there are 4,000,000 mulattoes in the United States and that this number yearly increases. White men tremble before this question. They know they are responsible. Yet many of them are always telling us women about "Negro brutes" and "Negro rapists." In the South, my native home, where there is the loudest cry about "race separation and white purity" the greatest mingling of white men and Colored women takes place. The South is the garden spot of mulattoes. It must not be assumed that white women will always remain ignorant of an indifferent to this fact. Many of us are wide awake and are thinking although only a few of us dare to express ourselves publicly on this question. Of course, I am intelligent enough to show the reason for this denunciation of the Colored man. One of the objects is to keep the gap as wide as possible between the white woman and the Colored man. But why is there little or no effort to widen the gap between the white man and Colored woman? Why are our men not punished for intimate relations with Colored women? No! This would interfere with white men's social freedom. Yet, they arrogate into themselves the role of supreme dictator as to the race or color of men with whom we must or must not mingle, while they will brook no interference as to the race or color of women with whom they mingle and become intimate. With all the emphasis at my command I affirm that the Colored man is not the unworthy creature that the press, platform, pulpit and the movies have pictured him to be. The veil of illusion is being gradually removed from white women's eyes." TAFT TO DELIVER AN ADDRESS ATTUSKEGEE (Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE Institute, Ala., Mar. 17—Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee, announced that Hon. William H. Taft, Ex-president of the United States, had accepted the invitation to deliver the Founders Day address at Tuskegee on Tuesday, April 27, 1920. In conjunction with the Founders Day Exercises, the Trustees of the institute will hold their annual meeting. William G. Willock of New York, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, one of the most active Trustees of the Institute are inviting groups of friends to join the party of Trustees to Tuskegee for the Founders Day Celebration CARNEGIE LIBRARY FOR ATLANTA, GA. (Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA. Ga., March 17-The Southwest corner of Auburn Avenue and Hilliard Street has been selected to be the or the proposed Negro branch of the Carnegie library in Atlanta, and the city has appointed by City Attorney James L. Mac, acting for the city and W. W. Valgae, president of the Carnegie library board of trustees, acting for the library.

The Periscope Public Opinion Culled By Asapolated Negro Press Serious discussion of effective means to abolish lynching first consideration must be given to the awakening, the enlightenment and the holding of public opinion. No matter what methods are suggested, the way in which they work out will depend largely on the sort of public opinion they have to encounter. The first thing of all to realize is that public opinion in the United States is not against lynching; if it was lynching as it is carried on in this country could not exist. Of course, there are vast numbers of Americans who are shocked and horrified at the mere thought, of lynching, but the great majority are not. There are millions of law abiding people in the United States, men and women who would not knowingly violate a munkipal regulation, who while they may not endorse the lynching of Negroes, at the same time do not condemn it. For a reason which may not be clear to themselves they feel when a Negro is lynched that perhaps, after all, it was about the best thing that could be done under the circumstances. This inertia, this condoning attitude of American public opinion is the most difficult condition to be reckoned with in any effort to abolish lynching. There is a reason for this condoning attitude. A reason which sprang from distortion and misrepresentation, and which has been fostered by well directed propaganda. The impression has been graven on the mind of the public at large in this country that the lynching of Negroes and the rape of rape go together. In the mind of the American public at large the idea has been more or less firmly imbedded that rape and the lynching of Negroes in the South bear the relation of cause and effect. MOST AMERICAN GROUP By William Plekena It happens to be that the Negro is the most American group in the country both in ancestry and in point of attitude of mind. His lines reach much further back than that of the average white man of the country. In spirit he is less arrogant, more liberal and democratic and believes more sincerely that "all men are born free and equal." He does not believe that he is naturally entitled to more privileges than other breeds of men. That is the very essence of the spirit that made America. The Negro does not lynch, and does not act by virtue of mobs. He wants the case tried in court. He wants law and order to be supreme, and as a group he does not ask any artificial advantage of any other group. That is of the essence of America. The intelligent Negro is therefore puzzled when he hears anybody talking about Americanizing the Negro. He knows that the battle would be over if only we could Americanize the white man. IN PERIL OF LITERACY Boston Globe The White people of Mississippi have Lift Off Corns! Doesn't hurt! Lift touchy corns and calluses right off with fingers Apply a few drops of "Freezone" upon that old, bothersome corn. Instantly that corn stops hurting. Then shortly you lift it right off, root and all, without pain or soreness. Hard corns, soft corns, corns between the toes, and the hard skin calluses on bottom of feet lift right off—no humbug! Tiny bottles of "Freezone" cost but a few cents at drug stores Sugar energy is added to your system every time you drink a bottle of the genuine WHISTLE The pure filtered sugar in these bottles To test this, drink a bottle of Whistle when hungry and see how it energizes your being. The pure filtered and sterilized water further adds to your well-being. Let children drink Whistle freely. It provides the sugar energy that made the American soldier the wonder of the world. ---just whistle--- sighted a new peril. They are becoming alarmed at the spread of book learning of the Colored people. . . . A. J. Whitworth of the Mississippi House of Representatives which rejected the Susan B. Anthony amendment, is spreading the news. According to him within five years, nine out of every ten Mississippi Colored women will be able to read well enough to comply with the law which says that voters must also be readers. Considering the difficulty of teaching any illiterate adult to read and the somewhat casual nature of popular education in many parts of the South it is possible that Mr. Whitworth has made an overstatement. But his remarks are reminder of the real nature of government in states where African blood flows in the veins of the majority in such cases the government is speaking frankly, white domination maintained with the help of "Jim-Crow" laws. Elections always result in gratifying victories for the Democratic, which is also the white party. In time a majority of the Colored people are sure to find their way to an elementary education. When they do, their enrollment will no longer be simple. SPEAKING OF VOTES New York Times In a recent issue I noticed an article on the South by "has. A. Seldon. Allow me to call your attention to one discrepancy in it. After telling how Alabama now gives the vote to the "intelligent, industrious, honest Negroes." you say, "such would be unthinkable in Mississippi or South Carolina, the only states in which the blacks outnumber the whites. Yes, the blacks outnumber the whites in this state; in some parts there are from five to seven Negroes for every white person. But even though this is true, South Carolina, would hardly consider it "unthinkable" to let intelligent, industrious, honest Negroes vote since she has been allowing just that for forty-four years, quietly and peacefully. You know Bocker T. Washington wrote in his "Story of the Negro" that the Southern white man is the best friend the honest Negro has. This is how the white people of South Carolina came to grant Negro suffrage. They suffered more from reconstruction than the people of any other state. They could not free themselves, so they appealed to the Negroes to rescue them, promote the vote to all worthy ones. This took place in 1876 and ever since then, the promise has been kept, and all good Negroes can vote in both the primary and election. Mississippi also gives the vote to deserving Negroes. They passed a law similar to ours at the same time and for the same reasons.—D. E. Norris, Rock Hill, S. C. IS THIS PLAIN ENOUGH? Grooved on 9th line.

The theft was alleged to have been committed in January of this year. the identical things that other Americans enjoy. And he is specific in his demands. He asks for equal opportunity to develop himself by his own labor. He asks equal opportunity to compete with every other American for the identical fruits and blessings achieved by any other American under the Ameri- can form of government. The Negro asks no gifts, but an equal opportunity to acquire any and everything, other men acquire their honest toll and sacrifice. Again, we are reminded there is no now Negro. But there is a Negro with new ideals. And when he is allowed to work to develop himself into a full man dependent upon none except himself, he will appear as commonplace as any other American. FROM THE NEW WHITE SOUTH Oklahoma, City, Okla. Negroes in the South also have advantages in the business and agricultural world. In some Southern cities there are banks, whose stockholders and directors are compelled entirely of Negroes. There are successful Negro real estate dealers and attorneys. And there are Negroes who have made a success as merchants. A Negro who died in Memphis, several years ago was one of the wealthiest residents of the city, having acquired his fortune as a result of his own efforts in business. There are prosperous insurance companies owned and managed by Negroes. One of the largest publishing houses in the country is that of the Negro Baptists, located at Nashville. As farmers of their own account, Negroes have also made good. In Arkansas for instance, many Negro farmers own auto-mobiles and in addition have healthy bank accounts. At Little Rock last year, and Negro farmer—just an average-looking Negro—paid income taxes on an income of $2,500 after deducting exemptions to which he was entitled for supporting his wife and children. SREGEGATORS - PLEASE NOTICE The Sun and New York Herald During the last few months there has been a large amount of properties acquired by Negroes. This movement has not alone been combined to the apartment or tenement house but has also extended into the dwelling housefield. Negro before in the history of the country has the Negro population been so afflicted as at present, and many of them are investing their capital in real estate. There are several instances on record where this race has formed reality companies and acquired properties which involve a considerable amount of money. These houses have been modernized and compare favorably with houses of the same class in other sections of the city. OFFICIAL MILITARY 'MOPPERS' Railch.

Afro-American, Baltimore, Md. It is almost criminal that that present shortage of homes, and the restrictions of many real estate dealers limiting Colored tenants to certain rain neighborhoods, that there is no city ordinance governing ejection and raiding of rentals. With not enough homes to go around, it is not only natural that prospective tenants bid against one another and send house renters售房. At the same time there certainly ought to be the same protection against covertteering in rentals as there is against profiteering in foodstuffs. Norfolk, Va. 17 Journal and Guide There are a great many people and far from being the worst, who while believing firmly in the Christian dogma are disafflicted with the service the Church and its ministers render them for the time and money they are called upon to contribute to the maintenance of them. Instead of researching the church as a material asset they are coming to, regard it as a spiritual loss, as neither appears on the face of it to do anything to promote these material interests of their membership in the present, in that they may be the better prepared to enjoy the spiritual benefits of the hereafter. GET INTO THE GAME The Omaha, Neb., Monitor For years our group has loyally supported the Republican party, locally and nationally, and then has expected to receive some recognition in a fond detention. We are getting our eyes open. We have begun to see clearly that the only way to receive this recognition is, by getting into the game right and filing as candidates for elective offices. The Monitor urges competent men to skip for the legislature and for city and county offices, and make a fight for election. If We unite our forces, we will not be beaten and though we should be defeated once or twice, what difference does that make. Keep it up and we will win, eventually! Get into the game right and play according to the rules. LYNCHING THE SOUL. templets to lynch the Negro civilly and politically: the man at home in Texas attempts to lynch him with a rope. "The one lynchings him in soul, the other in body," if where the Negro is concerned, the senator respects no law, human or divine, as one of them said, then the lynching of the Negro is the most logical thing in the country.

SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN MOSS Pittsburgh, Pa. Metis, both Southern and Northern, have been dealt with in too gentle a fashion. Hoodlums must be made to feel the strong right arm of the law. Those who do not respect law must be Tampa, Fl., Bulletin In These days of industrial uncertainty and chaos, it is indeed pleasing and intensely encouraging to note thru press reports the masterly come-back of the great Negro town of Mound Baron. Negroes everywhere will read this news with unusual interest and racial pride. All of this magnificent progress in bringing these things to pass, especially, with reference to the financial leadership of the man that Dr. Booker T. Washington, said in his book, was the exponent and embodiment of real financial goals. We refer to the Hon. Chas. S. Banks. Banks has shown remarkable constructive ability and foresight. Many shook their heads in doubt, many turned their backs to him, many went away in utter discouragement, but he never for one moment faltered, but with that faith that is to be found only in the bosom of leaders Divinely sent, and inspired, fought on to the goal which meant the complete and permanent rehabilitation of this great Negro center. It is very hard indeed for the public at large to realize what a task rested upon this man. The bank which for numbers of years, had been the back-bone went down in the depression of 1913-14, the large oil milk, which was the pride of every Negro was seriously retarded and very large business that required large amounts each year, was handicapped beyond measure, in fact the whole town went to pieces. Not only did Banks bring new life, but he put all of the above named institutions back on the feet, and he put them back stronger and more in keeping with modern financial methods, forever insuring their future permanency. In this monstrous task he has given himself, unmistakably the great Great of Tuskegee did to make a fit place for the intelligent and worthy of our young racial group. It is said by those who live in a position to know that Banks actually used a large, part of his personal fortune in putting new life and new hope, not only in the town proper, but in many numerous race enterprises or foreign to this little berg, but having a large racial bearing. This is not all, while he was thus engaged in this rehabilitation, he took over and set up for complete operation two of the largest plantations owned anywhere in the south by Negroes, thus giving to a large number of Negro farmers, chance that they did not have before, many other leaders have lost their heads and gone upon the rocks of extreme radicalism and petty complaining, this great and mischief soul has translated his whole thought and word into deeds that will live in the hearts and minds of generations yet unborn. Those are the acts that attract at- vention, these are the types that secure the telling support of thoughtful America, be they black of white, noble Banks in the great demand now, called in by many whites and Negroes to settle their numerous troubles, and without running away to the north to say it, he tells the white planter in words not to be mistaken of the right way in which the worthy Negro should be dealt with, and that past methods will never be tolerated by the Negro who is now upon the scene. It occurs to the writer that we need more Negroes of this type, who are unfaithful, who they walk with the mighty, get retaliated in the atmosphere of sweet amuillery. This is so true of this man, or any humble man or woman can be him at any time during the day. None go in, but what comes out of his office with their burdens lifted and a greater hope, a newer determination to live and grown into what the Master would have them be. In this beautiful and constructive atmosphere, Charles Banks breathes and works, not to be mislaid unto, but to minister each day to those less fortunate than he, in this he finds his greatest happiness, in this he will find his greatest reward. THERE IS NO EXCUSE The Quailk In primitive communities where such means of justice are lacking, or in communities where the courts are corrupt w incompetent and do not act with decision and unparing severity there is excuse for the assumption of power to punish by the people; themselves; where these conditions do not exist, there is no excuse. (Associated Negro Press) BALTIMORE, Md., March 17—Upon a proposal of the Colored Walters' Union, No. 826, the local body of the American Federation of Labor went on record at its weekly meeting for equal compensation for colored workers and white.
