VIRGINIANS FORM A LILY WHITE PARTY
Delegate Selected By The White Steam Roller, Deprecates Lively Interest Of Colored Men In Politics
LOWDEN JOINS RANKS SNUBS NEGRO VOTERS
Organization Formed, Will Contest The Lowden-Lily White Delegates And Select Colored Man. Methods Termed Outrageous.
By Associated Negro Press.
RICHMOND, Va., March 31.—Lowden forces, in their eagerness to grab the denial from Virginia, proclaimed a Lily White campaign and rode rough-shout over the Colored officers of Richmond in that state, was the word received here by prominent Colored Republicans.
As a result there is extreme bitterness in the hearts of the Colored Republicans of Virginia. They were totally ignored by the Lowden machine when delegates were chosen to represent the Richmond district at the state national convention: "An organization to contest the choice of Lowden-Lily White delegates has been perfected, J. F. Brady, clerk of the United States District Court, was the choice of the white steam roller convention for national delegate. Brady announced his views on the local political situation by saying that in his opinion no powerful organization could be built up in Richmond unless the dominance of the white steam roller was unquestioned. He depreciated the interest in politics taken by the Colored and said that it was not for the best interests of the party. "I am not a candidate for national delegation, have no intention of being a candidate and would not serve if I were nominated," Brady said on the eve of his election: "But, he continued, "I do believe we need men of the highest character in the party, and that it cannot be made a stone force here under any other conditions than that it is an entirely white organization. It is only to this end that I am personally interested."
Colored Man Selected.
Nevertheless, Brady was elected. The resentment of the Colored voters was not slow in expressing itself. A permanent political organization was formed forthwith, and steps taken to further the candidacy of Dr. D. A. Ferguson, Colored, to represent the district at Chicago in June. A mass meeting followed and Henry L. Johnson went on from Washington to address the indignant Colored men. He was formerly recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. Every man attending the meeting exhibited his poll tax as proof that he is a qualified voter.
It was maintained at a second meeting that fair play had been denied those present at the first mass meeting when the delegates were chosen. A cordon of police had been drawn up in front of the court house, and scores of Negroes seeking admission were told that not unless Edgar Johnson, formerly postmaster at Richmond, said he stood for justice to white and Colored men alike, regardless of those who might term him a "Nigger Lover."
There were several Colored men present, but they made no attempt that night to elect contesting Colored delegates to either of the conventions. Others held a larger meeting in True Reformers' Hall. J. R. P. Pohrad, who led the movement, said that steps would be taken to call a state convention if the Roanoke Committee should deny justice to the governor, Cabell, former United States Commissioner of Integral Revenue, registered a vigorous protest against what he termed the "outrageous methods" employed at the first meeting in selecting delegates and members of the city committee.

BIG REVIVAL OPENS EASTER AT 1ST BAPT.
Dr. L. K. Williams Of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, And His First Assistant Pastor, Rev. J. H. Branham Coming Monday April 5
Reverend Maxwell pastor of the First Baptist Church, had the following to say this week regarding the Brangelanic Campaign which will start at his church Sunday:
"All things are ready, come to the least, can be truly said of the state of preparation of First Baptist Church for the Great Soul-Saving Campaign that opens Easter Sunday.
"The Church is ready. The Ministers are ready. God is always ready.
"It seems, from the elaborate preparation and high spiritual tenor of the church family, that a greater, deeper and broader Revival than any that has yet been is sure to come.
"Dr. Williams and Branham will arrive Monday, April 5. Dr. Williams will preach at the church each afternoon and night. Rev. Branham, Dr. Cole and Pastor Maxwell will conduct pieces on street corners every evening and night. P. m. from auto-trucks. A large group of singers will accompany them, singing suitable revival songs, jubilies and spirituals. No collections will be taken on the streets. This is strictly a soul-saving, campaign and not a money-making scheme.
The church collected during 1919 over $13,000, is up with all her obligations; does not have rallies anymore; raises all monies needed systematically, with a spendid business system which is equitable to each member of the church and does not need to conduct street campaigns for money.
"We are going into the streets with the gospel because of the deep conviction of the sin and shame of all the carnal ease and comfort and self-indulgence in which church members have been living, while the dying, perishing, world which had been given into our charge was waiting for us, and the infinite love that had endured itself to us was mourning that Christianism show to go and tell of it. Our passion for soul is our only motive, for this we must pray." "In our outdoor meetings we have as our example Jesus Christ, who preached from boats, hillsides and mountain tops." "A car was recently made by our workers revealed an awful spiritual dearth in our wicked city, and the church decided, under God, to do something to call the attention of the unchurched and unsaved to the condition of their lost souls. We desire to impress Christiahs with their given responsibility to evangelize that same people, a crime to stay in the same home with lost people and not try to win them to Christ. It is a great sin to work in a store, or an office, or factory, or plant of any kind, day by day with the loot and not try to win them. We would try to keep them from any other calamity in the world and hold ourselves accountable for our neglect of them. God holds us absolutely accountable for our neglect of the loot with whom we associate. He know him that he can convert a person to the error of his way shall save a soul from death and hide a multitude of sins." "After death, what? Momentous Question!"
Easter exercises will be rendered
by the Sunday School School at 8 p. m.
and by the Sunday School at 10 p. m.
morning at 11 o'clock, pennsylvania.

TRENTON, N. J., March 31.—E. L. DePauir, a member of the legislative committee of Negroes to urge passage of the pending amendment to New Jersey civil rights law, takes exception to published reports that the Negroes are attempting to threaten the Legislature into passage of the bill. It was under the direction of the State House last week, following a hearing on the civil rights bill, that if the amendment were not adopted, the Negroes would have a ticket for the delegates-at-large in New Jersey to the Republican national convention. DePauir insists that such information was entirely unauthorized and is untrue, and that whether the amendment is to be Negroes will have their delegate-at-large in primary. He adds that the decision of the Negroes to have "Big Four" candidates is activity seeking just recognition in party councils.

McCORMICK STIRS SENATE ON RACE DISCRIMINATION
Tells United States Legislators They Should Not Intervene In Egyptian Affairs So Long As Ten Million Of Our Own People Are Being Mobbed, Lynched And Disfranchised.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31 — In a recent speech in the Senate on the Egyptian situation, Senator McCormick of Illinois said, "Mr. President there is another authority who might be consulted while the debate turns upon Egyptian rights to liberty. In the eleventh event of the latter of Matthew M. is written. Why should the more that is in the brother's eye, but considerer not the besin that is in thine own eye?
"It is true that the net result of British Government in Egypt has been the material development of the country to the neglect of the education of the people and their political advantage. But, Mr. President, if we are not to guarantee the government of Egypt, it will only a matter for our intervention. It actually a matter of our intervention. Some measure we have not been responsible for a like neglect of some dark people with whose welfare we are charged under the constitution of the United States. My friend, the Senator from Oklahoma, Mr. Owen, speaks of the imposition or the withdrawal of the protectorate in Egypt as an assumption on the part of the British government. We do not quarrel with him on that ground, but while we discuss the course of the British Government in that regard, I think we might inquire of our confidence if we have done all that duty requires of us in regard to some 100,000 of people living under the Constitution of the Union. "It is written in the Constitution of the Republic that no citizen shall be dischurised by reason of his color or race, nor shall be dischurised by moral dischurishment there shall be a denunciation of the representation of the States effecting the dischurishment. But these provisions of the Constitution are as dense as the liber of Egypt. But putting aside the question of political rights, consider that the country North and South, during the last year has witnessed disgrace mob murders, forcous pachings in the Union during the last past. My own State of Illinois has been the scene of violence on an great scale as that in any other State in the Union during the last year.
"As we sit in judgment upon others, so let us judge of our own duty. It does not become us to speak only of the dereliction of other people. If this Senate is to consider resolves upon the State of the people of Egypt, let it make ready to resolve against mob murder and lynching in America."

Among the crowds that visited the store the officials of the company made their way, receiving the congratulations of the people and shaking hands and thanking them for their patronage.
An official of the company said to the reporters, "Please publish our thanks and gratitude for the splendid way in which the people have supported us." It was the most wonderful third saw, and the second and third of the people are delighted more than words can express. We will try to show our appreciation by giving service to the people."

Ark. Supreme Court Affirms Death Sentences Of 6 Negroes
Other Six Convictions Reversed.
Governor Brough, in Statement,
Scorsis Gov. Allen of Kansas for
Refusing to Honor Requisition
for Return of R. L. Hill.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 30.
The Arkansas Supreme Court
yesterday affirmed the death se-
quences imposed on six of 12
groves condemned for murder in
connection with the Elaine race
riots last October and reversed the
other six and remanded their cases
for new trials.
Gov. Brough, in a statement last
night, declared the Supreme Court
decision was evidence of the desire
of the Arkansas executive and ju-
ral authorities to accord fair treat-
ment to Norcross.
The "action of Arkansas through
out in dealing with participants in
the Elaine insurrection, which cost
scores of lives and jeopardized
thousands of dollars" worth of pro-
perty, is in striking contrast to the
unwarranted refusal of Gov. Allen
of Kansas to honor a requisition
for the return of Robert L. Hill,
universally, recognized as having
been one of the leading spirits of
the damnable copony to
murder white cliffens and to take
possession of their property," said
the Governor's statement. "Politics
is not so evident in Arkansas as in
Kansas in dealing with the race
question."

Venerable, At Sedalia Insults Audience
As a climax of a two-days' session of the "Executive Committee" of the Roosevelt Ideal League, which consisted of the six men, a public meeting at a baptist church at Sedalia, Tuesday night, was broken up in a row. The "row" came following a speech made by Prof Robt B. Hayes, Press George R. Smith College, in which he failed to endorse the actions of the protestors. He stated that he did not know what the League was really trying to do. This statement angered Rev. Venerable, who arose and proceeded to denounce the people of Sedalia and said he did not want any endorsement of the Roosevelt League from the previous speaker or anyone else. He charged the people of Sedalia, both White and Colored, with being ignorant because they did not know about his league. When he made this statement instantly a half-dozen men in the audience, one on each side, protested from the speaker, and the chairman, Rev. Coffy, ruled Venerable out of order. And when the chairman refused to hear those protesting, the meeting broke up in a row without taking a collection or any endorsements.

Y.W.C.A.CAMPAIGN
High water mark was reached last Monday night when Wheaton Y Campaign workers made reports, and amidst outbursts of cheers and campaign burrats and songs, it was announced that only $12,000 was needed to reach the goal of $10,000. This was made possible by the fact that Malone, out of the fullness of her talent, contributed her prom lauded $1,000 in fundraising, which caused a wave of enthusiasm to swarm the gathering and each worker determined to do her share in securing the amount necessary to cover the deficit. The generous response of the public to the appeal for Wheaton's Annual Finance Budget indicates that the Branch is no longer an experiment but it has earned a right to exist in the life of the community.
The following is a continuance of the partial list of largest contributors, but it has earned a right to exist in the life of the community.

COLORED MAN MURDERED BY HIS STEP-SON
Victim Beaten And Slashed In Alley, Crawls To Olive And Compton And Dies. Identified As Lex Lanier.
Gets Clue While Taking The Baths At Hot Springs. He Comes Immediately To St. Louis And Arrests Relatives Accused Of Crime.
Addison Logan, one of St Louis' colored detectives, white hundreds of miles from the scene of action, caught the coyote that was enabled him to unravel one of the most brutal martyrs murders on the records of St Louis criminology.
The case is that of a Color, who was found lying in a doorway in the northeast corner of Compton Ave and Olive St. Saturday night, March 29. His skull had been stuved in his throat and face badly cut and life was extinct. His body was later identified at the morgue that of Leo Lamer, 2023J Franklin Ave. The murder remained a mystery.
Logan Gets Clue
Detective Logan was at the Hot Springs taking the baths. As he lay on his cot on Monday morning he chanced to hear the conversation of a couple of strangers, one of whom remarked, "The man got put off by his step. San Jose and Will Fleming. They took him over to Olive St. where the 'Bottoms Gang' operates, and fixed him."
Logan got up, purchased a St. Louis paper and read about the murder. He immediately terminated this bath treatment, came to St. Louis, and within twenty four hours after arrival, he accused men behind the bars. Both men were arrested by Logan and Crockett. He Franklin Ave address, although Fleming gave 3111 Pine as his residence.
Flemming's Confession.
Flemming was the first to confess. He says that Lanier was killed in the alley between Olive and Locust near Compton. Flemming claims that Sam Lanier had a grievant against his stepfather for misleading Sam's mother, and he had decided to make away with the old man. Flemming says his efforts to persuade Sam not to do it had no effect. He tells of Sam finding a shell weighing three or four pounds at the Pine street address, and Flemming says that would do the work. Flemming tells Sam luring his stepfather into the alley on a trip to Flemming's home. He says that after penetrating it for 100 or 200 feet west, "Sam and Lex stopped. I walked on Suddenly I heard a crash and I heard Lex say, "What on earth is the matter, Sam?" If I have got anything you want, take it. I then turned and tried to separate them and Sam had his knife cutting him. I got on the right hand and then ran out of the alley."
Lanier Accuses Flemming. In Samuel Lanier's confession he says Flemming is his cousin. He accuses Flemming of having an argument with the murdered man and says Flemming struck him. Flemming struck the blows with the shell, but admits that he Lanier started the cutting and that Flemming hitches.
Victim Crawls to Olive.
The police say the victim crashed to Olive St after the attack, where he died. The knife, with a four-inch blade, was recovered from a pawn shop, where it had been pawned for 50. The shell was found in the alley Sam Lanter went to the morgue on Monday. He was found body. Fleming says that Sam also killed a man in Alabama four years ago.

Melba, the impersonator, and Thorn, an eccentric comedian, are pulling off a number of revamped gags and do soell at singing and dancing.
Charlie Young wins applause with a repertoire of sentimental song numbers.
House & Houze close the show in their characteristic style of comedy, centered around a letter from home, and an answering plea, "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home." A line of exaggerated stories draw the big laugh.

EVEN AS EVE' AT STAR.
Robert W. Chambers' amazing story of feminine wives, "Even As Eve" will be shown at the Star Theatre this Easter Sunday. It is the story of a young girl whose father has taken her far from civilization so that she cannot fall in love, he having forsown love forever because his wife had betrayed him. How civilization finally embraces upon him and beguiles his daughter into a love for the things of the world and a man is wonderfully told by Mr. Chambers and pictured in this thrilling picture.

Becoming a sailor, he cast upon an uncharted island after the boat has been wrecked, but he has succeeded in, rescuing the daughter of the ship's owner. Their stay on the island, until their rescue is filled with thrilling episodes. The ship-wreck is most realistic. An imitation of an ocean liner was built and later, wrecked on a rock shore.

This picture was recently the season's scapeat at the King's Theatre.

The Sparring Duckess Wednesday and "LOVE, HONOR AND — — the sensational madridian. Thursday.
"Love, Honor and — —" teaches a lesson that all will be the better for having learned. It shows the weakness of a young wife who has been misled by he flattery of the social set that lives for the brilliance of the "White Lights." Contrasted with the wife's character is that of the young husband who upon returning from service in France nets his mate engulfed in the maddening rush that congrets about the roulette wheel and the cabarres.

FASHION SHOW OF
1920 AND DANCE AT
LOUISIANA'HALL
The supreme, novelty of the season,
directly preceding a time when fashion
reign, occurs on next Monday,
April 5.
The affair will be in perfect harmony with the time, for, with Easter comes spring and with spring comes the casting-aside of winter apparel and the donning of the garments of summer. Styles, like the weather, fluctuate at will, and therefore it is a difficult matter for one to know whether his dress symbolizes the nineteenth or the twentieth century. It is for this reason that the Cinderella dancing class offers its display of fashion at the Louisiana hall next Monday night. It is to give us, as a community, a keener insight into what is in vogue. Not only for the vain woman, but it will be beneficial for all: the young girl, the miss-and the woman; the boy, the youth and the man. Further still, for the baby, as the following youngsters, ranging from 2 to 12 have offered their services to display the proper dress for children: Marjorie Crockett, wendolyn Tyler, Alene and Rosamond Gordon, Caroline Bobson, Hilda Evans, Elmer Campbell-Sanford Robinson, August Piper, Ivan James and Louise Grant.
For the sake of the above, the management forgetfully requests and urges the public to come early, as sleep means much to those young ones and it is desired that they be relieved as early as possible. The dance will begin at 8 i.m. and the fashion show will begin at 10 o'clock sharp.
TO THE PEERLESS BOYS.
The Melrose Girl's Club wish to extend thanks to the Peeleers Boys Club for the invitation to their entertainment, Sunday, March 21. Upon leaving the club, members expressed themselves as having had a most enjoyable time. M. I. H. Midgeon, president: M. E. M. Smith, secretary: A. Wright, manager: M. Sherrel, treasurer: R. Cabbot, reporter.
AN APPRECIATION.
Prof. I. Baker, the great hundred messenger on "The Soul of Man," dogs hereby render thanks to the great ministers of this city in whose churches he has spoken, and also for the commendable letters they have given him on his work. He says with their prayers and good will he shall continue on the field, and he says he knows God will do the rest.

The celebration will be continued at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Lefflingwell and Lawson avenues.

WHY CITIZENSHIP SCHOOLS?
Perhaps now, more than at any other time, in our country's history, we ought to ask this question of ourselves and others, "What is Citizenship?
Comparatively few of us realize the real meaning of Citizenship, its duties and responsibilities. We need to educate ourselves, and we need to educate others up to the privileges and advantages of citizenship.
Political education through Citizenship Schools for women and men is the first duty of the League of Women Voters for 1820, because millions of women will become voters, and because the low, standards of citizenship found in the present electorate clearly show the great need of education in the principles and ideals of our government.
If every one of the 17,000,000 women voters of America is not well educated in the business of being a citizen by next November, it will not be the fault of the League of Women Voters.
"Will the three million Negro women voters of America take advantage of this Nation-wide plan of education for citizenship."

Francie Smith, black face comedienne, is the curtain raiser at the Booker Washington Theatre, but is none the less a headliner attraction. The actress is a second Ora Criswell, and is scoring a big hit this week with her humorous sayings and singing "My Home Town" and the "Hues." Melba, the impersonator, and Thern, an eccentric comedian, are pulling off a number of revamped gags and do well at singing and dancing.
Charlie Young wins applause with a repertoire of sentimental song numbers.
Houze & Houze close the show in their characteristic style of comedy, centered around a letter from home, and an anime plea, "Baby. Won't You Please Come Home." A line of exaggerated stories draw the big laugh.

Ayenger" with William Duncan is the

ington Theatre on Tuesday, April 8.

"THE GREATEST QUESTION" AT
THE CRITERION SUNDAY.
D. W. Griffith's stirring drama on the theme of the Hereafter will be the Easter Day attraction at the Criterion Theatre. The play, entitled, "The Greatest Question," is carried out in an interesting degree of high-tension and goes far toward solving the question which has concerned the minds of millions who have loved ones gone before. Wm. S. Hart will also be seen in "Jim Cameron," on Sunday.
"EVEN AS EVE" AT STAR.
Robert W. Chambers' amazing story of feminine wives, "Even As Eve" will be shown at the Star Theatre this Easter Sunday. It is the story of a young girl whose father has taken her far from civilization so that she cannot tail in love, he having forsworn love forever because his wife had betrayed him. How civilization finally encroaches upon him and beguiles his daughter into a love for the things of the world, and a man is wonderfully told by Mr. Chambers and pictured in this thrilling picture.
Sessue Hayakawa will be seen in "The Tong Man" at this theatre on Tuesday.
"WINGS OF THE MORNING" AT THE JEST-A-MERE SUNDAY MONDAY.
William Farnum, in "Wings of the Morning," will be shown at the Jasmina Theatre this Sunday and Monday.

Becoming a sailor, he is cast upon an uncharted island after the boat has been wrecked, but he has succeeded in rescuing the daughter of the ship's owner. Their stay on the island until their rescue is filled with thrilling episodes. The ship-wreck is most realistic. An imitation of an ocean liner was built and later wrecked on a rock shore.
"EVERYWOMAN" THREE DAYS AT THE PENDELTON THEATRE.

Contrasted with the wifes character is that of the young husband who upon returning from service in France hides his mate engulfed in the maddening rush that congregates about the roulette wheel and the cabaret.

FASHION SHOW OF 1920 AND DANCE AT LOUISIANA HALL
The supreme-novelty of the season, directly preceding a time when fashion reign, occurs on next Monday, April 8.
The affair will be in perfect harmony with the time, for, with Easter comes spring and with spring comes the casting aside of winter apparel and the donning of the garments of summer. Styles, like the weather, fluctuate at will and therefore it is a difficult matter for one to know whether his dress symbolizes the nineteenth or the twentieth century. It is for this reason that the Cinderella dancing class offers its display of fashion at the Louisiana hall next Monday night. It is to give us, as a community, a keener insight into what is in vogue. Not only for the vain woman but it will be beneficial for all: the young girl, the miss and the woman; the boy, the youth and the man. Further still, for the baby, as the following youngsters, ranging from 2 to 12 have offered their services to display the proper dress for children: Marjorie Crockett, wendolyn Tyler, Alene and Rosamond Gordon. Caroline Dobson Hilda Evans, Elmer Campbell Sanford Robinson, August Piper, Ivan James and Louise Graet.
For the sake of the above, the management respectfully requests, and urges the public to come early, as sleep means much to these young ones and it is desired that they be relieved as early as possible. The dance will begin at 8 p. m. and the fashion show will begin at 10 cclock sharp.
TO THE PEERLESS BOYS:
The Melrose Girls' Club wish to extend thanks to the Peerless Boys' Club for the invitation to their entertainment. Sunday, March 22. Upon leaving the club, members expressed themselves as having had a most enjoyable time. M. L. H. Midgeon, president; M. H. Smith, secretary; A. Wright, manager; M. Sherrel, treasurer; R. Cabbot, reporter.

of the ceremony.

WHY CITIZENSHIP SCHOOLS?
Perhaps now, more than at any other time in our country's history, we ought to ask this question of ourselves and others. "What is Citizenship?"
Comparatively few of us realize the real meaning of Citizenship, its duties and responsibilities. We need to educate ourselves, and we need to educate others up to the privileges and advantages of citizenship.
Political education, through Citizenship Schools for women and men is the first duty of the League of Women Voters for 1520, because millions of women will become voters, and because the low standards of citizenship found in the present electorate clearly show the great need of education in the principles and ideals of our government.
If any one of the 17,000,800 women in voters of America is not well educated in the business of being a citizen by next November, it will not be the fault of the League of Women Voters.
Will the three million Negro women voters of America take advantage of this Nation-wide plan of education for citizenship?

SOUTHERN LAND AT
AUCTION GOES FAST
TO THRIFTY NEGROES
SOUTHERN PINES, N. C., March 24
—Around Southern Pines and Aberdeen there are two classes of Negroes. The one is marked by thrift and industry, the other is the cool day, go day type, common to all communities. H. A. Page, N.C., sought a large tract of land adjoining southern Pines and he began to play in the market to sell, in a purely commercial manner, just as other folk do with a similar proposition. He had not gone, far before he found himself introducing a farm plan, on a big scale, with roads and the accessories that make farms, and then came an idea of making a section of home sites adjoining the town of Southern Pines for Colored folks. This matter rather evolved itself, but Mr. Page family reached the point where he set aside 86 acres, had roads cut through, the roads clayed, just as we make the improved roads in the sandhills, lots of sizes from the smaller building sites to the bigger one of an acre or more were plotted by the engineer, and when all was done the tract was ready for sale.
The Colored folk had watched the progress of the plan and many of them discussed with Frank Buchan, who is the selling agent for the property, the prospect of buying locations. But he told them to wait until the engineer had finished the location of the improvements, and the roads' were built and the stakes set and everything ready, and then he could talk definitively. The demands were so Dirrificous that it was sure that the sale was destined to be a quick one, so at first it was proposed to put a price tag, every lot, and parcel of land, and let it be filed. Man take it who would accept it at the price fixed. This plan appeared to be acceptable, but later the People's Realty Company of Abkhena, proposed to MP. Page that they be allowed to sell the property at auction, to which he agreed, and the Raster Brothers were engaged. Many went over to the sale because of the
novelty of it and it was interesting, especially to the folks from the North.
OUR NEGLECTED POETS
By Associated Negro Press.
CHICAGO, March 24—In a specially prepared statement for the Associated Negro Press, Prof. Robert T. Kerlin of the department of English in the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., makes a very perilent comment with reference to the high appreciation of the poets in our group.
"I have never assumed the role of advisor or preacher to the colored people of America," says Prof. Kerlin, "but I am impelled to make an exception for once in a worthy cause. Are you as a race support poet? Volunteer politically manfully in business in industry, in labor, in education, in charitable an religious works. Racial consciousness is strongly asserting itself throut the whole domain of your life with this one exception. You do not like many other races value your poets at their worth. You are willing to let them furnish you the very bread of life while you permit them to suffer for the mere bread of existence. Is this right? Is it wise?
"Your poets are your prophets. Today they have a fang message. They are embodying your ideals, your aspirations, your sufferings, your prayers your protests in song. The lyrical cry is theirs—your cry. Theirs the articulation of it. Now no cause is greatly effective until the poets champion it. The poets have winged words, they pierce the hearts and consciences of men. They burn their way into our humost thoughts. Poets are more to be dreaded by the forces of evil and injustice and oppression than politicians, yea, even than preachers; for the true poet is, I repeat, a prophet, a messenger f God.
"You have a dozen very able young song-makers whose poems your newspapers get. I understand, without cost,
"How are ye better than the gentiles if ye thus rob your poets? Support them, I say, they are a supreme honor to you as a people, and not only that; they are your ablest servant, and not only that. Give them for their service at least the means of subsistence; Buy their heavenly ware with your miserable filthy luce."
It's a straight road to Heaven, but,
my how sure footed you've got to be
to get there.
They say that music bath charms
to soothe the savage beast. How
much longer has the American Negro
got to sing?

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.

JUST A LITTLE MORE DEMOCRACY.
The question of a Negro as a delegate-at-large from Missouri to the National Republican Convention at Chicago in June is one that the party leaders cannot afford to overlook at this time.
We are pleased to note that a few of the strong party-leaders have said that they, too, think it the democratic thing to do citing as their reason the fact that the Negro votes of this state is the main dependence upon whom the Republican Party hopes for success in the local state, and possibly national elections.
This is the same and logical way to face the issue. As a group we are entitled to a delegate-at-large, because every other group is given every other consideration as a matter of course. Then, too, if our vote is so essential to the party, this honor should be conceded to us as a matter of simple justice.
We believe that a little more spirit of democracy among the party leaders will be the largest contribution they can make toward its success. The advance thoughts of today call for new adjustment of things. And certain established rules or customs of yesterday must give way to the new order of things.
Women suffrage must be reckoned with as well as other important questions. A change in things is inevitable. It is only the Rip Van Winkle who cannot discern the signs of the times.
In the end scramble for place and power, we realize that everybody cannot be satisfied. But the spirit of a little more democracy would suggest—Come, let us reason together,

Now that the Citizen's Liberty League has endorsed a candidate for Congress from the Twelfth Congressional District of Missouri, it does seem to us that the wise and thoughtful thing to do is for the people of the district to unite their forces and put over the candidate of their choice.
Mr. Vaughn is a young man of intelligence and experience, a lawyer and soldier. Thorough representative, in that he is well informed upon the issues of the day, and will look after the interest of all the people in the district, state and nation when such an occasion presents itself, without fear or favor.
The thing for the people to do now, is to pull together for the common good of all. Be not deceived with the glittering promises of yesterday, but take up the step with the onward march of today.
GETTING BACK AT GOVERNOR MORROW.
The mob which lynched and burned a Negro in Kentucky a few days ago was quite characteristic of the "red necks" of the Blue Grass State. It is stated as the Negro was tortured the name of Edward P. Morrow was frequently mentioned. Governor Morrow was not there, nor did he have a representative on the scene. But one thing certain, a governor is responsible for law and order in his state. All the power of a state is at the command of the governor. The laws of the land must be respected at all cost.
The actions of the mob in Kentucky in lynching-burning a Negro is a hold defiance of law and order. And nothing but the stern hand of the power of the law will vindicate Kentucky who just a few months ago made her name great by the stand that was taken by her chief executive.
Kentucky! rise again, show the world what you stand for, by indicting and punishing the participants of the mob that has disgraced the state:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March 81
Wherever the people have had a chance to vote in direct primaries they have shown a decided preference for Gen. Wood, the present day, champion of the state Colonel Theodore Russell's life long policy of all "all men up and he man down."
Two weeks ago, New Hampshire instituted her delegates for Leonard Wood by a hustle majority, notwithstanding the strong arm tactics of the state machine, which was working for an uninstructed delegation. Last week Gen. Wood won in both Minnesota and South Dakota over odds of political intrigues and combinations. It is apparent to the most capital observer that Gen. Wood is not a professional politician, because he does not pusheef or universal military training, the protection of America first, and a long way first, the imposition of the constitution, the right enforcement of law and order, the protection of property, rights, everything rests on this, and the guarantee to every American citizen equality of opportunity without regard to race or creed. Leonard Wood is the only candidate to stand on a 100 percent platform of Americanism. That is why the people are saying if you row, you will have the name of the next president of the United States.
Every Colored man and woman in America can become a charter member of the Wood for President Club by sending in name and address to 1230 Indiana avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana.

ANNIVERSARY OF HOME, IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.
The Home Improvement Association held its first anniversary at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. Smith, 4244 W. Labadie Ave. on evening of March 27th.
This association was formed a year ago for the purpose of helping the members keep their homes in repair without cost, except for material, all repair work being done by members of the association, who, by the war, are all qualified to do any kind of repair work in and around the home, the owner paying nothing for the services of these men.
During the past year there, has been repair work done on the different homes by the members of association to the amount of about a thousand dollars. The association has proven to be a big success.
The following program was carried out successfully: Opening Song, Pilgrims' Baptist Church Chair, Obstacles of the Association, by C. W. Brown, Remarks, by M. Canady, Song, by Choir, Remarks by following members
Mrs. S. Irving, Mr. R. Nichols, Mr.
S. D. Irving, Mr. King Cannon, Mr.
R. H. Brown, Song by Choir, Address
by Mr. Hayes, who was principal
speaker of the evening; Mr. Hayes is
one of the directors of the Elroy Mfg.

There were one hundred and fifty
members and visitors presents.
Refreshments of all kinds were
served free of charge. A delightful
evening was had by all.

None on earth can harm you there.
Badly missed by children, Mrs. Ida Lyons and Ida Branford, daughters and grandchildren, son-in-law, Langston L. Lyons.

Thank God for the faith that keeps us When the struggles of life are o'er; We shall meet our loved ones, And known them all and more.

The flower of our home is gone,
To the bright celestial shore beyond;
We grieve at her departure.
For she was thoughtful, kind and true.
Although we must not nummur,
'Twas God's holy will.
We know she left a vacant place.
That we never can fill.
What is home without you, mother.
What are all the joys to me?
Since your loving smiles no longer
Greet the coming of our feet,
The days are long, the nights are dreary.
And time rolls slowly on.
How few are life's pleasures since
You, dear mother, have gone.
Sadly @issued by her children and grandchildren, Mrs. Mildred Weaver, Kansas City, Mo.
IN MEMORIAM.
In loving remembrance of my dear mother, who departed this life two years ago, March 31, 1918.
Surrounded by friends, I am lonesome, in the midst of my pleasures I am blue, A smile on my face, still a heartache, Aching and longing for you.
A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in my home, Which never can be filled.
A loving mother, true and kind, No friend on earth like her I'll find; God called her home, It was His will, But in my heart she liags still. By all of us she did her best; may God grant her eternal rest.
In loving memory of my darling, Boy,
Lee A. Davis, who departed this life
two years ago, March 61, 1918.
There is no Seek, however watched
and tendered.
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no fireside howsoever def-
ended.
But has one vacant chair.
Standing by the river we closed his
weary eyes.
In Jesus' arms we laid him dawn;
A lovely jewel for his crown.
We bore him through the river;
And clothed him in a robe of white
Too beautiful for mortal sight;
And took him to the skies.
I cannot and will not say
That he is dead, but he is just away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of the
head.
He has, wandered into an unknown
land.
Sadly missed by his sisters, brothers and mother, Mrs. C. H. Davis.

Through the Eyes of Youth
a tendency there is to discourage youthful couples against extravagance as they start out together in married life. "Wait until you are as old as your parents, then spend your money for fine furniture. Most anything will do for the first few years." "Better save your money, children. You don't know what's going to happen to this country after a while." These are samples of expressions you often hear.
isn't a single person connected with the management of The Only McNichols who believes in willful extravagance, but as we grow older, sometimes we find ourselves misinterpreting the meaning of the word when we set ourselves up as judges over the younger gentry. For instance, what we might call extravagance they term as investment. And the funny thing about it is that about half the time they are right.
the case of furniture, let's carry our thoughts back to the time when we ourselves went through the same experiences. What are our first purchases worth now, if indeed they exist at all? Suppose high grade, correct, refined selections of furniture like you see in The Only McNichols' had been made instead, even though some sacrifices were necessary to meet the payments. There would have been pride of possession through the years with a permanent investment yielding pleasure and comfort today.
ople age only as they think age. If you, gentle reader, are still youthful in years, the spirit is already there but, if many milestones have been passed, then look at the pleasure of furnishing your home in the right way—through the eyes of youth. This store stands ready to help you in every possible way.
