LAW AGAINST LYNCHING PASSED IN KENTUCKY ILY WHITES ARE BLOCKED IN GEORGIA A Faction Of Republicans Try To Hold State Convention Behind Closed Doors And Bar Colored Men. NEGRO LEADER OF REG. REPUBLICANS White Faction Is Forced To Withdraw And Selects Own Delegates. Regular Faction Names Three Colored. ATLANTA, GA., April 7.—An effort to a few "Lily White" Republicans to total the state convention from the regular Republican organization, here today, nearly resulted in a riot. The convention, to select delegates to the Chicago convention, was called to convene in the House of Representatives, at the Capitol at noon. When, the regular Republicans under the leadership of Henry Lincoln Johnson, colored, (former Collector of Internal Revenue) arrived, it was found that the white faction had been operating behind closed doors for several hours. After a turnbull, the regular delegates were admitted and the "Lily Whites" were forced to withdraw and hold a separate meeting. They selected three white delegates and one Negro, Dr. G. P. Washington, of Waveries. The regular Republicans selected C. P. Goree, a white man; and three Nekroes: H. L. Johnson, of Atlanta; J. H. Watson, of Albany and B. J. Davis, of Atlanta. The Colored men of Georgia are in the Regular Republican party, and a few whites have formed a "Lily White" faction, to exclude them. They have selected a "Lily White" for the Senate.

THE "ROCKEFELLER OF LIBERIA" Special to the Argus LONDON, Eng., March 31—Liberia is truly a hermit republic; writes Alan Bouchier Lethbridge, author and traveler in the Daily Telegraph. The country, he adds, has no roads, no railways, no telegraphs, no steamboats on her rivers nor any practical exploitation of her wealth. Lodgings in Manerla, the capital virtually do not exist with exception of one place which is conducted by the mayor. This man is an enterprising Negro of North Carolina who besides attending to the duties of the morality and conducting his hotel, operates an ice plant and an ice cream parlor which formerly were German property. From these latter his friends are said to be gleanic. He also has something to do with the good officer, and is a Police Court Magistrate. In fact, this remarkable man starring from nothing has made him a Royal俯仗 of Liberia. The St. Louis Argus CEN. MO. CONFERENCE AT UNION MEMORIAL under God.

Brooks, on November 6 last, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. The calling of the case in court was announced exclusively in The Argus last week and the court room was crowded with people expecting to hear the trial. In statements made to Judge Taylor, Sanders resiliented the concession he made when arrested, with the addition that he admitted attacking the girl before killing her with an iron bar. His hearers were deeply affected by his recital of the dastardly crime and his wife (the victim's sister) became hysterical, crying that he should be hung. Miss Brooks was a daughter of Rev J. L. Brooks of Webster Groves, and was attending the Summer High School in St. Louis. VETERAN OF THREE WARS SPENDS EASTER WITH ST. L.

Hence, they are brothers and equals Greater Number Of Colored Expected This Spring. Will Be Cared For The Associated Negro Press MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. April 7.—The continued migration of Southern Negroes into Northern states is slowly bringing about a situation which only be most careful educational and spiritual effort can avert, according to the leading sociologists who have contributed to the survey taken by the Northern Baptists in their New World Movement, here recently. It is estimated that there are now 12,000 Colored people in the United States. In 1910, almost 9,000,000 of them lived in the South. Today it is estimated that less than 7,000,000 remain—in the South. The Northern Baptists are appropriating a part of the $100,000,000 fund to be raised in the New World Movement for the establishment of educational and recreational centers in Northern cities. CHICAGO, IL. April 7.—Negroes are migrating to the fast-fast and leaving the South short of labor. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the league said, recently. "They are leaving the South in large numbers because they think the North offers them a better opportunity, more money and better working conditions. As soon as the weather becomes milder the infux will greatly increase. Many Negroes who went South for the winter because of the severe climate will be coming back. "We have jobs for all that come. Many foreign laborers are leaving this country for their own countries, since the close of the great war. This leaves many vacancies. The recent race riots of the North had little effect on migration. We have just as many coming the record shows, as before the riots." CHATTANOOGA, Tem., April The problem confronting Chattanooga manufacturers is to get labor to put in full time. There is ample labor in Chattanooga to operate all of the present industrial plants; provided all are willing to work, according to Allen Parker of the Chattanooga. Manufacturers' Association employment bureau. The migration of Negroes from the south has seriously handicapped industry in many of the southern cities, according to reports gathered. During the war thousands of Negroes left for the war factories of the north. Hundreds left Chattanooga. Reports from other cities state that they have not retained, but are taking the place of foreign labor in the north and east. WATER BOARD OF BALTIMORE APPOINTS TWO NEGRO FOREMEN (Associated Negro Press) BALTIMORE, Md., April 7—Two Negro foremen were appointed by the Water Board at its request of Mayor Boeing, and will organize a Negro gang for the construction division. The men are James H. Robinson of the Eleventh ward and Robert L. Price of the Eighteenth ward. They were named in a letter from the Mayor to Water Engineer William W. Megraw and on the pay roll at 40 cents an hour. It is the first time that Negroes were employed as foremen in the Water Department. Published in The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY. APRIL 9, 1920 MARY B. TALBERT TELLS OF HER JIM CROW EXPERIENCE Tells Audience In Spokane She Had To Travel Thirty Hours At A Stretch On Regular Freight Cars When Selling Liberty Bonds. Associated Negro Press SPOKANE, Wash., April 17 — Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y. President of the National Federation of Colored Women and graduate of Oberlin college, addressed an audience that filled the assembly room of the chamber of commerce. Mrs. Talbert is speaking throut the motion on questions concerning the rice. "The allies cannot forgate the Negroes who fought with them," she said. "If the Negroes are good enough to die for democracy, they are good enough to live in democracy. We are sick of fighting to make the world safe for democracy and now want to make the world a place to live in. "Four hundred and fifty thousand Negroes were sent to France and they were the most loyal of soldiers because they fought for a democracy that they did not possess. "The Negroes subscribed to $225,000,000 worth of Liberty bonds. The government told them unless they put something into the war, they should receive nothing and we began to hope that peace would include the Negro. I traveled thru the South speaking in behalf of the fourth Liberty bond campaign. "I had to go in a "Jim Crow" car, an ordinary freight car. I traveled 30 hours at a stretch with no sleep, no diaper, because no Negro is allowed on any other kind of a train in the south. Yet I was selling Liberty bonds for my government and the government operated the trains. I wasn't permitted to buy a cup of coffee at the stortions because my lips would touch the cup and transgress social equality. "The Negroes are not begging for social equality, but political and rights and a chance for better living conditions." Mrs. Talbert told off the deployable penal conditions in the south where there are no reformatories for children. ARKANSAS CASES WILL GO TO THE FEDERAL COURT (Special to The Aransas) TITLE, ROCK Ark. April 7 — On March 22, 1930, the same day that the Attorney-General of Arkansas "was making a designee fight Before Gov. Allen of Kansas to honor requisition papers for the return of Robert H. Hill to Arkansas, Colonel Geo W. Murphy and script A. Jones were pleading the cause of twelve men before the Art. Supreme Court, who were convicted and sentenced to die in connection with the Elaeine shot. The court convened, every seal was filled and handcensured in the certificates. Counsel Murphy is now well on in his "seventy" He is an ex-Confederate Soldier ex-Attorney General of Arkansas, and for years has endorsed the reputation of being the Southwest's greatest criminal lawyer. He delivered the argument before the court. Attorneys pronounce his argument on March 22d, the most brilliant of his professional career. He did not mace words in portraying the conditions surrounding the speed trial, and conviction of the twelve men by the Phillips County Court. He pointed out error after error and in summing up, declared that the men had not had any trial. One week from the day of his argument the Supreme Court remanded six of the cases for a new trial and affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of the other six. The ends sought are coming into view in reopening the six cases much can be developed to throw light on the causes and conditions leading up to the tragedy at Elaeine. The other air, will not be left to die The Citizens Defense Fund Commission is now making preparations to have Col. Murphy and S. A. Jones carry these cases to the Federal Courts. Every step under the law will be taken to safeguard the lives of these men until they have had a fair hearing. It is requiring a large sum of money to conduct this fight and the Citizens Defense Fund Commission is calling upon all citizens who believe in justice, and fair play to help out in this cause.

Anthony, pioneer worker for women's rights, and Frederick Douglas, Negro publicist, statesman and journalist.

CHURCH DISPLAYS A SIGN DRAWING THE COLOR LINE A large and conspicuous sign appeared on the corner of the Church of the Holy Communion (Episcopal), 8809 Washington avenue, which reads, "FREE CLINIC, FOR WHITE PEOPLE." The sign is in a conspicuous place, just under a large electric cross, and gives the information that treatment will be given in the Parish House beginning Monday, April 12. The Rector of the church was called up by phone, from The Argus office, on Good Friday, and asked to have the words "For White People" removed or blotted out. He was told that the announcement was embarrassing and believed to be unnecessary as Colored people would soon learn without so conspicuous a warning, that they were not welcome. His son was also called to the fact that he had no other necessary to display a sign of the Life at the various clinics, the剧院 and many other places in the city where color discrimination was practised and it was at the least, a bad precedent for a church to set. The Rector admitted he had not paid any attention to the wording of the sign, but would take the matter under immediate consideration. On Saturday a telephone message was given to The Argus which stated that he sign would be corrected, on Monday. It was still there when this is, one went to press.

AFRICANS ORGANIZE A WORKMEN'S UNION By Associated Negro Press: NEW YORK, X. Y., March 31. "The International Socialist League has started in Johannesburg an organization called the Industrial Workers of Africa," says the Nation in this week's number, which is the first industrial organization of colored workers and is still very small. The International Socialist League demands equal pay for equal work, irrespective of race or color, but the white workers are, on the whole, afraid of this. The white workers are, really, the foremen and overseers in South African industry; the natives are doing the greater part of the work. The International Socialists are a solid organization of black and white workers, working together without distinction of colors, race or creed, in arrest the power from the capitalists and to establish the African Society.

McKELVEY RAISES YOUTHFUL SON TO A $3,600 SALARY Discharges His Only Colored Clerk To Put The Boy To Work And Advances Him To Most Important Job In Building Department. The selfish ambition of James N McKelvey, Commissioner of Public Safety and Twenty-third Ward Republican Committeeman, to place his whole family on the city payroll, at high salaries, has run into a snag, and there must be some explaining done. The joint council of the Associated Engineering Societies wants to know why McKelvey has appointed his youthful son, without an efficiency examination, to the highly important position of chief engineer of the Building Department. The position has $200 a month and was filled until January 1 by one of the best and most experienced engineers in the country. The boy has been on his father's payroll since the summer of 1917, two years before he was old enough to vote. Wanted to Be a Soldier WANTED TO Be a Soldier. In 1916, when the State National Guards were sent to the Venezuelan border, young Jimmy Dickey, the 19th age of age, volunteered and joined one of the St. Louis companies, against his parents' wishes. This, of course, was very disconcerting. When he returned, steps were immediately taken to settle him down. McKelvey put into effect one of this "One Hundred and One Reasons For Getting a Man Off the Payroll." He laid off his, only colored clerk, in a force of sixty-five, because he was "short in the appropriation." This created the vacancy for his son. The youth was not old enough to be drafted in the first year of the war, so he was safe. He has been gradually advanced in position, past the stations of older and experienced men of recognized ability until now he holds the most important duties in the construction of all the large structures, decide up on the safety of the construction, and whether the contractors, are complying with the city ordinances. For three months now, the safety of the citizens of St. Louis has been intrusted to this youth. McKelvey holds a $8,000 a year position, having been boosted, to it by the colored officers of the Twenty third war. BANDMASTER SIMMS ELECTED DELEGATE TO A. F. M. CONVENTION A. A. SIMM.

COURSE IN RECREATION FOR COLORED WORKERS The Missouri School of Social Economy started a series of lectures, in a short course, in Recreation for Colored workers, at the Community Center, Garrison and Lucas, Wednesday. The course looks forward to the examinations given by the Efficiency Board for playground workers. High school graduates are eligible. Barred From Regular Class. The establishing of this course brings to light some embarrassing experience a group of Colored applicants tied with the school last week, when they applied for permission to take the course at the school 222F Locust. The opening had been announced in the daily papers. The Colored applicants were barred and told no profession has been made for the course through the Mass B. Whether the authorities decided to give the Colored people a special class of people were registered and reduced the tenets from 45 to 20 with the same community, changed. A plan to banances will start naturally at 9:30 a.m. The course will end May 5. The man best fitted to be president of the Casted States is the one who stands superior on his feet and looks ill.

BILL SIGNED BY GOV. MORROW Statute Does Not Become Effective - Until 90 Days After Adjournment Of Legislature, Due To Failure To Include Emergency Clause. (Special to The Argus) NEW YORK CITY. April 7. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes the following statement regarding the signing, by the governor of Kentucky, of a bill to punish mob violence. In view of the lynching on March 29 of Grant Smith; a Negro, at Millersburg, Kentucky, by a mob which overpowered the shelter and the police chief as they were taking their prisoner to jail. It is interesting to note that only one week prior to this occurrence Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky signed a bill providing for the punishment of lynchers and for the removal of the peace officer who surrendered his prisoner. The bill was signed in the presence of a committee of Colored citizens headed by Dr. E. E. Underwood, president of the Frankfort Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to whom the gold pen used by the governor was presented. Death Penalty for Lynchers. The bill makes the penalty for lynching death or life imprisonment, and that for atjustified lynching confinement in the penitentiary for not less than two years nor more than twenty-one years. The fight to secure a lynching law in Kentucky began with the legislature of two years ago, when a bill was passed submitting to the people a constitutional amendment to make it possible to effect the automatic removal of any peace officer who permitted a mob to secure a prisoner in his custody. The bill submitting the amendment was championed by a committee of Colored citizens who succeeded in securing its passage without a single dessembling sale in either branch of the legislature. The Association has learned that the anti-Whiting statute does not become effective until 20 days after the art. equipment of the medallure due to its failure to include art emergency clause. If therefore can not be enforced by Kennedy authorities to bring to trial the Linchers of Grant Smith on March 29. REVIVAL MEETINGS AT METROPOLITAN CHURCH TO BEGIN Rev. R. B. Macon.

A HUMOROUS COMPLICATION AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE. Thomas and Wilson, in a little comedy skit called "Christmas and No Turkey," have a vehicle that is the source of exhilarating amusement at the Bocker Washington Theatre this week. The complications and surprising situations arising from the efforts of each to have just enough, and not too much of the coveted fowl are extremely laughable. It's a domestic affair, and the man paws a watch while the woman puts his dress suit in "soak," such to surprise the other with the bird. Unknown to each, they decide two turkeys are on too many and each gives to destroy family, leaving them without. When an offer of a job, requiring a full-dress suit, comes to the man, he learns to his chagrin that she is safe in pawn. She inquires the time and finds the watch worn the same route. The act closes with the rendition of "We're with the dawn. Tomorrow." 19 Today and Down Today Philip Giles, the graduated humorist, farcine and eccentric and the house in a fit of laughter the moment he hits it going for his al-iment of minutes.

A good many people have the objection that the black man is a sort of Simple Simon, faintly easy to trick and delude, the ready victim of every faker who pleases to make a fool of him. He's nothing of the kind. Did you ever hear of a Negro buying a gold brick or a block of green goods? I never did. In fact, behind his easy going apparent simplicity, Mr. Johnsing is h liable to have stowed away about as much native shrewdness as most folks of similar education. If his mental processes are not so intricate as those of some Caucasians they are quite likely to arrive at the same destination by a more direct and less laborious route. If a white man succeeds in making a monkey of a Negro it is generally not because the Negro doesn't know he is being made a monkey of but because he would rather play the monkey than not play not play anything." TROTTER FINDS RACE DISTINCTION GROWING IN NORTHERN STATES Dr. Associated Negro Press. SYRACUSE, N.

He is also editor of the Guardian, published in Boston in the interests of his race — the Judge which he represents, asks to serve to the Negro, the same political and economic rights that are holdby white men, and women. "We fight," said Troy, "that there is a growing disposition in certain parts of the North, at least, to distinguish between blacks and whites in the matter of hotel accommodation, restaurant, moving picture attendance. This is the same distinctions which has led to the "Jim Crow" car and labored with in the South." Mr. Trotter represented the Negro law at the Peace conference in Paris, but was obliged to disguise himself as the guillermo pook in order to reach lamps, a passport was denied.

The Periscope PUBLIC Opinion Culled By Associated Negro Press PROGRESS AND UNIONS Labor unionism has been one of the Karee's red flame. We have ever been acutely alive to the unfairness of organized labor toward us and ever alert to antagonism and retaliation in the greater number of instances where labor has clashed with the forces of capital. story. If present from the intelligent who may not be trained in the lore books, but in the hard and instructive school of experience; the thought the broadminded, the sympathetic progressive. Constructive criticism honest. Destructive criticism is effected because it is unjust untrue. It is true that organized labor is in large measure, clearly responsible for this unhappy situation. Organized labor has been unfair to the Race. There are signs, however, which point to a growing disposition to recognize that the unions have been the greater sufferers through their insistence to exclude out Race from membership and the councils of their organization. There has been a gradual settling down of the bars. The results have been beneficial to all concerned. Contact has brought a broad understanding to both elements, and both begins to see the industrial and social value of the other. More than that each is beginning to realize how indispensable they are to the other. There need be no technical discussion of the economic aspect of the questions. The larger matters of social and economic relations are more often decided by heart impulses. This is because mind belongs to the cow heart to the many. These facts do not take a navy, in any particular, the fine, though comparative value of what many are pleased to term the scientific aspects, of social and economic relations. We are simply calling attention to what we believe to be fundamental in determining what are the factors that will bring to issue harmonious relations between hitherto hostile groups of labor forces. We heartily believe healthy social progress will come to the Race and the country in general when all conceived come to see the true relations which should be maintained by all the elements of labor. THE WOMEN WILL VOTE Equal suffrage is about to be realized. The long fight of women for the right to vote on all questions of government has at last reaped into a live reality. Indications are already plausibly apparent that there will follow in the wake the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the National Constitution; new impositions of civil responsibility and radical departures from practices which have operated to a denial of the franchise to a considerable portion of the national citizenry. "Grandfather Clause," "Permanent Poll," and all of the political declines used by the "white South" to minimize the voting strength of our Race will be cast automatically, into the waste basket of political misuse by the unpopular provisions of the Suffrage Amendment. For not only will approximately three million Negro women, be added to the voting elements of the nation, but the Negro man will be strengthened in his position as a citizen of the National and state commonwealth. But there also comes to us a grave realization of the 'increased responsibilities that have come to us in the meantime. The intelligent Negro woman must take a more commanding place in the social orders of the land. There can be no shirking or pandering of the instinct for political gain in any direction. Our men have not risen to full height in the political activities of the Race. It remains for the women to take up the work and get the results desired. We believe they will do it. Merringham, Ala., Reporter It seems that the good record Birmingham has made in the past fifteen years is a center for industrial activities and helpful relations between the races, is being tried today by criminals, loafers and crooks. When one picks up the papers these days, he is easy reminded of twenty-five or more years ago when murder and robbery were common for Jefferson County. No citizen wishes to drift back into those days when distress and worry constantly hung over our country. This condition was eradicated by the departments of justice. It was not uncommon, after so much bloodshed and the fire use of ammunition, to go around the County Court House and see a few men hang until dead, by the neck. If will take this measure now. There is lots of money, in the district, there are a number of men who are careless with money. In the district, loafers and crooks are going after it, they rob, they steal and commit murder. It is not confined to any particular race, except in the few days past, while they have been over foe and passionate with their defenses. They have shot and killed Negroes. This is a bad situation and now, is the time to check it. WITHOUT VISIBLE MEANS The Detroit, Michigan Leader. There is a great army of new living in the cities that apparently earn their living without a visible means. It is not our business to deal with How. That belongs to the expents of the law—the police department. But it is the influence that it seems to have upon our boys and girls that causes our complaint. It is terrible for the youth to be thrown in contact with such lawlessness continually. To see such parasites getting what seems to be such an ever living with an little of effort. It is living without word. Good clothes, diamonds and fine earl appeal to young men with the result that there are many falling, to keep up legitimate trades and even preening, because of the very manner this rant array without visible means of support evidences. A premium for mercy and good citizenship a demonstrative appreciation for right over wrong, and an earnest effort to save our boys and girls from disgrace and ruin, is one of the greatest demands of descent. Colored people residing in cities. CUSTODIAN The Minister, Omnibus, Neb. Criticism is of two kinds, destructive and constructive. Destructive criticism is insidious and has its sole object the fearing down of individual institutions, enterprises, business or other. It proceeds from the ignorant however learned they may think themselves to be: the superficial, the shadow-painted or the servile and jealous. Constructive criticism is friendly and has no object the impoverished or servile which is jealous. It also is friendly and has no object the de stray. It presupposes from the intelligent, who may not be learned in the lore of books, but in the hard and instructive school of experience; the thoughtful, the broad-minded, the sympathetic and pragmatic. Constructive criticism is honest. Destructive criticism is easily detected because it is unjust and insecure. THE CHANGE The Memaham Times If there is any one who has not met a great change in the trend of the race for the 1940s two years, he is strangely blind to what is taking place. For fifty years, since freedom the race has made many misgasses, necessarily sex and will make man more; if it is expected to be perfect, but froggy of those mistakes it has proved no little, and learned a great deal. For many a year the race fledged of the calvage of its friends, affording it to stay on the farms, stay in its place; give its industrial education; and those who are in authority will look after you and who give you what you deserve. But if has learned their experience that one cannot no longer his rights by leaving them to sphere than him, like from his court without taking of himself. COMPETITION The Christian Recorder, Philadelphia We have published a statement from the attorney Digost* and the claims of Dr. Austin O'Malley, who is a student of anthropology and ethology and who has given considerable attention to the development of the race and the climatic influence upon the same. Dr. O'Malley, by extensive research seems to have reached the conclusion that because of the climate of the United States of America, the white Americans with light hair—will not be able to live long in this country. Whether we agree with his conclusions or not his article is worthy of reading and will deserve much collection. It puts a new slam on the race problem.* It is a fact that the Negroes are getting whiter. Now if the whites are getting blacker, perhaps in the year 420 we may have a brown skin race in America. HOLDING DOWN The Dallas, Texas Express There is no doubt but that one man or group cannot hold another man or group down without staying down also. The South in years past has no realized 'this fact' and in many ways it has suffered as the result of its narrowness and prejudice. This fact is becoming, evident in certain sections of America. The 'holding down' policy tends to make of the Negro a liability. Common welfare demands that he be an asset. He is an asset in spite of that policy, but his efficiency is lessened by it. Will the South ever realize it fully? Certainly. It is coming nearer its full realization every day. Our wonder is only if it is going to eventually, why not sooner? --- The Associated Negro Press PROVIDENCE. R.⁷ L. March 24. Mrs. Incipita R.

March 24- The celebration of the eighteenth anniversary of the lithel A. M. E. Church Sunday, March 7, culminated in a mortgage burning ceremony on Friday night. At the services on Sunday, Rev E. M. Syden spoke on The Challenge of the Hour. He pleaded for a new place for the Negro in American life, and said that the members of his race should not ask for charity from their white neighbors, but should so organize that they will create a place of their own in American life and affairs. EUTRAGE AND SOPHISTRY By William Pichon We can verbally oppose anything which we want to oppose. If we have to the sophistry to do it. Women are the 'females of the human species,' no more, no less; but the sophist who is opposed to 'woman's right to govern her men life, finds a rich field in anti-suffrage 'arguments.' Indeed, there is no question more inviting, to the sophise, unless it be the Negro question. Many white men feaon alike on women and on the colored races; the fundamental error is the assumption that they are reasoning against a different order of beings from themselves. The South, which has already trained itself to sophistry on the Negro question, is naturally the best trained for crooked reasoning on this woman question. For example, the editor of "The Richmond Va. Those Fourth Conveniently" objects to "giving the vote to millions of women who do not want it." He does not want to force women to vote. That is so gallant "that is the merest sophistry; nobody could give the ballot to any man or woman who does not want it." Nobody is to be compelled to vote. It is the purpose of suffrage to allow the vote to those who have sense enough to want it. None of the privilege of not, want it" is to be taken away. But they who do want it, are to be given the same liberty—no more—as those who do not want it, namely, to freely exercise their own wants. When voting is allowed, then for the first time, those who want it, and those who do not want it, will be on terms of equality. At present we have those unloved who want it, while those who do not want it are perfectly free.

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IN KENTUCKY The eyes of the world are still upon Edward P. Morrow, Governor of Kentuky, because it seems that the man is truly sincere in his efforts to make lynching in the Blue Grass State, in the future, a misnomer. Following his stand for law and order in which five members of a mob met their death, the legislature of Kentucky has passed an Anti-Lynching Bill, and the Governor, Edward P. Morrow, has signed the same. This is the beginning of a sure end to lynching in the South. Notwithstanding the fact that a lynching and burning recently took place in Kentuky, the signing of the Anti-Lynching Bill gives new hope and assurance that the law in Kentuky will be respected in the future. A very significant feature about this new law, is the attitude of the law, making bodies. How readily they responded to the call of public sentiment which demands that something be done in America, to stop this evil which is sapping the life out of our boasted democracy. public office like Edward 4. Morrow. Most of the Governors of the states below the Mason and Dixon line profess a desire for law and order. All except Mississippi claim but they are opposed to lynching, as it is a defense of the law. Let he Governors of these states follow the lead taken by the Governor of Kentucky. Bring before their legislatures, laws looking forward to the abolition of lynching in their respective states. AREAHAS JUSTICE TESTED IN UNITED STATES COURT Attorneys for the six Negroes whose death sentences were affirmed by the Arkansas Supreme Court, have asked for a writ of error in these cases, contending that the condemned men were denied their constitutional rights. In the event this is denied, the cases will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. One of the points to be raised in the case is that while the Negro population in Phillip County was five to one white, not a Negro was on the inky that convicted them. We fully agree with the contentions made by the attorneys for the defense. And we think that they will have no trouble in convincing the highest tribunal of the land that it was impossible for the defendants to receive a fair trial on account of race prejudice. It is a well-known fact that the dramatic setting that made Philip County, Arkansas, the scene of a battle field last October had race prejudice as the background. There may be some cases where a jury composed of white men in Arkansas could decide a case where Negroes rights were adjudicated according to evidence submitted, but in this case no one could believe the defendants had a fair impartial unprejudiced trial. Therefore, we have hope that when the case of the six condemned men reach, and are finally passed upon by the United States Supreme Court, the sweeping decision of that tribunal will revolutionize some of the State Courts practice in this country. Occasionally it is necessary to call the attention of not a few of our group to playing FAIR with the members of our race. There are some who get their living solely from the race and in return they give back nothing. They prioritize no colored business. They practice a gospel that is ideal, but in the practice they are an far from it as heaven from hell. The Negro physician who gets his living from Negro patients should speak at least a part of his money for the necessary things of life with Negro firms. He should buy some groceries from colored groceries, he should load and pay for Negro papers, he should consider Negro drug stores and send some of his prescriptions to them to be filled, he should remember who supports him. The Negro preacher, a leader of the people by calling and profession, supported solely by the members of his congregation and the colored public, should not be found wanting in his support of Negro enterprises. Se should enthusiastically support Negro papers and urge the support of the people for them, help build them, and help make them a powerful force and factor for the race. He shows all others should practice the gospel that he preaches. It is in the bounding duty of every Negro fan to help support, in a tangible way, the Negro paper, for the Negro paper in his eyes, his mouth, they guard his interest when he be asleep, they make commitment for him, and he should be liberal in their support.

Through the Eyes of Youth 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. There 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. In 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. People 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. McNICHOLS MARKET STREET AT BLEVENH Y. M. C. A. Pine Street Dept.

Under the circumstances it is a wearisome task again to ask for proofs of the old canard, repeated this time, according to the Sun and New York Herald of March 15, by one Hugh 8. Martin. Will Mr. Martin name a single one of the Robs who have been "devoting his efforts largely to grazing racial hatred," among colored people?
