St. Louis Argus

Meet At Bowling Green And Discuss Subjects Of Vital Importance. Resolutions Passed Chairman N. C. Bruce Delivers Stirring Speech To Conference (1) We urge all our people of the state to renew vigilance, and work for better, more thorough, adaptable and practical education for all our youth, city, town, and especially those in the country. (2) We as a race group should rejoice and be encouraged, that all the world's chaos and confusion and these terrible wares of crime, burning robbing, murder and bombing, and the horrible and deadly imbued with real Christianity are practically free from even being nudged of these awful present-day crimes. And so we urge our people to take faster hold on the teachings and life of Christ and ever if all others in the world become cankered with the last of gold and for worldly power, honors and glory to the extent of completely scrapping the Golden Rule of Christ. We urge our people to study the Bible, strengthen what remains of Christ and practice his precepts and examples always and more now than ever. Aganist All Crime. (3) We are against all crime and criminals in our ranks or elsewhere and would especially urge all young folks to erase from idleness and keep at griefful pursuits, to save, locate and spend for only necessary and useful things. Start a business, become employers of some of the thousands who are leaving our schools every year wholly dependent on other races, of whom are foreigners, to give our children work to do. (4) We urge our people, high and not high, whether politicians or statesmen, to become disillusioned, for no people or party in our free, America is willing or can ever give equal rights with no special privileges, except to themselves. Men and races and nations have to work out their own salvation; have to take by educational, economic, industrial and moral efficiency, what is theirs by natural rights. There is no other way. After people are chattled freed. And so we urge our group leaders in Missouri to carry this word to all our people, that Negro rights, like every other group of people's rights will come thru Negroes themselves, working, building up trades business, owning and developing more farms with crops, cattle, fruit, dairies, bees, and marketable products, and voting intelligently for men and principles. Then coopering, uniting and having faith in and for themselves and their same, sound, sensible leaders, and not exploiting leaders. (5) Since Missouri Negroes are largely G. O. P. and no Negroes are represented in any state department as deputy or otherwise, nor on any of the great or lesser Boards or Commissions, nor even permitted to be members of District School Boards or any City Board of Education, not even the Board of Regents for our own state Institute, we feel that one Negro Industrial Commission, recently granted our people in the state by both parties at the earnest request of a Democratic Governor, should be strengthened by necessary amendments to the act creating it and should be properly supported to do the best work possible in the way of surveying, holding meetings, institutes and stimulating our people all over the state, to better education and to become more useful, desirable, and productive citizens wherever they are in our great state. This Conference heartily and sincerely approves of the measures the personnel and the splendid and practical effective and practical a way by this Negro Industrial Commission and urge all people to get solid behind it and help it to pursue its good work year by year in other state departments and Boards and Commissions are and have been for years in the state's betterment.

One Man Lynched For Stay Of Sentence After Another Confesses To Crime. Associated Negro Press "TUSKKEE, Ala., Jan. 5—Principal R. R. Motor of Tuskegee Institute issued the following report on lynching for the past year from the record compiled by Monroe N. Work, of the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute; "There were 56 instances in which officers at the law prevented lynchings. Of these, 10 were in Northern States and 46 were in Southern States. In 42 of the cases, the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented or other precautions taken. In 14 instances armed for use were used the would-be lynchers. In 4 of these instances the mobs were fired upon and as a result, 5 of the attackers were killed and several wounded. "There were 61 persons lynched in 1920. Of these, 52 were in the South and 9 in the North and West. This is 22 less than the number, 53, for the year 1910. Of those lynched 53 were Negroes and 8 were whites. One of those put to death was a Negro woman, 18 or less than was put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape. Three of the victims were burned to death. The charges against those burned to death were rape and murder, 1; killing landlord in dispute, 2." The offenses charged the whites were Murder, 5; insulting woman, 1; no charge except being a foreigner, 1; killing officer of the law, 1.

The ground has already been secured and paid-for. The solicitors are now collecting the funds, help them. Rev. S. J. Wearford, rector; L. J. Cooper, secretary. Investigator For N. A. A. C. P. Finds Truth Of The Florida Riot Has Been Suppressed. Will Present The Testimony To Department Of Justice. NEW YORK. Jan. 5. — More than thirty Negroes were killed in the election riots in Orange county, Florida, according to statements told to F. White of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. White was Ocoee incognito and questioned residents of that town, many of whom were themselves in the moos that committed the crimes. Accounts of the killing at the time declared that five Negroes had been burned to death, one lynched, and two white men killed in the rioting. Congressional investigation will be demanded. Ocoee taken at Ocoee will be presented to the department of justice at the department's request. Friday by Dr. White, who is assistant secretary of the association. He was in Ocoee Friday, November 5, and questioned the residents of the little town, which is 12 miles from Orlando. The testimony that Mr. White will offer is all hearty. It is impossible to make a thorough investigation, he will say, because, which all information is available, a social investigator, he added, is in constant danger of his life. Photographs and depositions he declared to be out of the question. Mr. White gained his information on the Oceo massacre as a prospective purchaser of land. With such an introduction he could ask questions freely and receive unrestrained answers without being subjected to suspicion. "Although newspaper dispatches of November 4 declared that five Negroes were burned to death, one lynched and two white men killed in the rioting," declared Mr White to the Evening Post today, "evidence gathered on the spot proved that a far larger number was killed. Talked With Many Citizens "I talked with a large number of white citizens of Orange County, including lawyers, merchants, court officials, and others of the type who would be conversant with the facts Negroes killed was thirty-two, the higher fifty-six. The average number given was between thirty-two and thirty-five. "It was declared that Moses Norman, whose attempt to vote after the local KuKlux Klan had warned all Negroes that they would be killed if they attempted to vote, had neither paid his -poll tax or registered. The registration books at Orlando the county seat, showed that he had qualified in every way and had properly registered. "A mob attacked Norman at the polls at Oceoce, beat him severely and demanded that he go home. Not satisfied with this, evidenced shows that the mob formed in larger numbers, went to the coloured settlement; set fire to it, erasing all the colored men, women and children who were in the buildings. Highteen homes, two churches, one school house, and a lodge hall were burned. "When Negroes attempted to flee from the burning buildings they were into the flames. Among those burned to death were a colored mother and "it is said in the community that between eight and ten whites were killed. The total number of Negroes killed will probably never be known "Before the embers had cooled, members of the mob searched the ruins eagerly for the charred bones of victims as souvenirs. This offers but one of the many instances of the mob violence now occurring in the South, most of which are not reported in the newspapers." "The Ku Klux Klan's revival is causing a rapid increase in the tenseness of the feeling in the South, and unless the activities in inviting race mendance of man like the Imperial 'Wizard' of the Klan are checked by doent-law abiding citizens, serious trouble cannot be averted." EDITOR CHASE DROPS DEAD WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5 — W. Caldin Chua, editor of the Washington Bee, dropped dead in his office early Monday morning. He was one of the pioneers in the Navy Newspaper and the newspaper he began in before Mr. Chua. A most appropriate program was rendered at Poro multifurium New Year's day in connection with the celebration of the Emancipation. The Emancipation and its historic relation to the Negro in America was discussed by the participants on the program which was as follows: Rev. Ernest R. Reed, Dr. Geo. E. Stevens, Prof. F. L. Williams, Dr. J. W. Martin, Mrs. Amie M. Milone and Mrs. Julia Childs Curtis. Special number by Amanias J. W. Perry, 6 years old of Chicago. Music by Prof. Gerald Tyler. After the program a permanent Emancipation Society was organized with the following officers: President, Prof. Frank J. Williams; Vice President, Amie E. Malone; Secretary, Prof. J. W. Meyers; Treasurer, Hutchins Ingg. In furthering the plans of the proposed organization, the president was authorized to appoint a committee to draw up, and suit such by-laws as necessary to secure fully carry on the work of the organization. Establishment, in an Open Air School for Negro children seems nearer than ever before, according to reports of recent action on the part of the Board of Education of St. Louis. The Board of Education and the Tubernostosis Society of Saint Louis have been working enthusiastically for this purpose for sometimes, and have it is understood firmly denied a desirable site for such a school. As ordering for information was received in this office, this site was found by the Tubernostosis Society of Saint Louis, and has been approved by the Board of Education and merely waits on the closing of a deat. As soon as the site is bought, work on building the school will be started and everyone interested hopes the school will be in operation, by the beginning of the summer at least. No intimation has been given out as to where the site for the school is. A letter to the Principals of the Colored schools of St. Louis from Dr. John W. Witcher, Superintendent of Education is interesting in this connection. It follows; To Principals of Colored Schools: It has been reported to this office that the delay in opening an Open Air School for Colored children has given a considerable number of Colored people a steptheild attitude in regard to the intentions of the Board of Education and the Tuberculosis Society. Believing that this attitude is due to misunderstanding of the position of the teachers of Ebola, the Tuberculosis Society in regard to the establishment of such school, I ask that you bring to the attention of the teachers of your school, and whenever you have opportunity, to your patrons the facts in regard to this matter. The Board of Education has definitely gone out record as approving the opening of an Open Air School for Colored children and has been seeking a suitable site for such a school. The delay is in no wise due to the Tuberculosis Society. The Tuberculosis Society has pledged the same support for indigenous white children in the Open Air Schools. The Board of Education is at present cooperating with the Tuberculosis Society in an endeavor to find a suitable lot or lots upon which an Open Air School for Colored children can be placed and it is our hope that such a site will be found in the near future. Rozell Robertson, an 8 year old Colored boy residing at 20 North Thirteenth street, East St. Louis, was instantly killed when struck by an Alta Sita street car on Broadway, near Thirteenth street, East St. Louis, at G check, Wednesday night. The boy was hurrying to attend a motion picture show a block away, and ran across the street in the middle of the block directly in front of the street car. He was knocked to the pavement and died instantly from a fractured skull. The body was taken into the Green undertaking parker, a few doors from the accident. No arrests were made. Associated Negro Press HIRMINGHAM, AKA, Jan. 5 Prominent Negroes in the city have organized against the spread of tuberculosis among the race in this city, at a recent meeting Dr. George Eaves was a central executive secretary of an anti-Tuberculosis Association. The church offered a $100 "Venue to Dr. Eaves" and the "be in Mr. Eaves' Presery" will please us.

MAKES BIG PROGRESS The Doylass Life Insurance Company of Amrica, the first Negro Insurance Company to qualify under the Strict Superior Laws of the State of Missouri is having unprecedented success. It received its certificate of Incorporation on the 16th day of July, 1920, and immediately began securing applications for Insurance. It is worthy to note the vast amount of business that this company has been able to secure in the course of a very few months. An Argus representative visited the office of the Douglass Life during the week and there found the President, Mr. J. M. Well and his office force very busy, shaping up work for the New Year. When interviewed, Mr. Well stated that "The good that the Douglass Life Insurance Company of America is doing in this community from a standpoint of purpose, the aid is being felt and the company is in a position to give to our people in this state the best protection that can be given them. With its many influential representatives, the business is being rapidly increased and the office of the Douglass Life Insurance Company of America is a regular "Bee Hive" so far as work is concerned. The Secretary-Treasurer of the Company, Mr. W. H. Mosby staged in an interview that "The vast amount of business that the Douglas Life is receiving is far beyond all expectations." The Medical Director, Dr. C. J. Dixon was found very badly engaged in examining and approving applications, his words were full of meaning yet few. He stated that "The Douglas Life is Great." The other officers of the company are full of smiles over the wonderful success of the company, he are as busy as B. R. Pyker, First Vice-president; T. A. Jekson, Second Vice-president; James Townsnd, Third Vice-president; M. C. Morris, assistant secretary. Special to The Argus ST. CHARLES, Mt. JAN. 5—The closest affair paled on St. Charles within many months was the public irritation of the trail Star Lodge Td. K.P. at Beneventu Hall, Friday coming, Dec. 31. The seating capacity of the buffling was fixed by those shortunate as to receive invitations. The features of the kenning were the most excellent addresses of Grand Chancellor A. W. loyd and Grand Lecturer R. F. Adam. Both of these gentlemen seemed politely gifted on that evening. Prod Adams spoke extensively upon the duties and obligations of Brotherhood while Hon. A. W. Lloyd convinced by hearers of the numerical and financial strength of the order, which he become a veritable Glibrarian in body above mentioned respects, wheels and motors, member as the best white Teateral and insurance bodies. The audience as captivated by his oratory.

"I, Walthall M. Moore, Represent from the public in affirm, that I will support the Conduance of that conduce of the State of Missouri, and do everyone sincere my office, and that I will not kni directly, any money or other val or nonperformance of any act. O_____ Just ten minutes after the opening of the session, Ernest Patillo of St. Louis arrived with a riot of flowers. He was met in the corridor by J. E. Mitchell, editor, St. Louis Argus, who relieved him of the flowers. Notwithstanding the fact that the house was in session, Mr. Mitchell quietly bore the high lunch of flowers to Mr. Moore's desk, which is No. 75, and as he arranged them on the desk, spontaneous applause greeted Mr. Moore from the audience which he received with a courteous bow. As he took his seat he was almost hidden with flowers. The tags bore the names of the Citizens Liberty League, St. Paul A M. E. Church, Union Memorial Church, Rey. H. H. Harris, florist of St. Louis, and Mr. Theodore J. Wolley of St. Louis. HISTORIC SETTING At this time all eyes were turned upon Walthal M. Moore, and it seemed that the men and women in the assembly began to realize the more that the Fifty-first General Assembly of Missouri Legislature was really a historical event. In response to their popular feelings, the visitors as well as the legislators began to discuss the young man upon whom all eyes were fixed as the first Negro in the State to be so highly honored with a seat in that august body. During the ceremonies, Hon. Hiram Eloyd, Lieutenant Governor of the State came in, and after looking over the audience, walked down the aisle to Mr. Moore, grasped his hand with a hearty shake and congratulated him as the first of his Race to sit in the law-making body of the State. A reporter of the Argus had arranged to have a picture of Mr. Moore taken following the ceremony, and it required thirty minutes for the photographer to get his camera trained on his object, owing to the crowd which surrounded Mr. Moore congratulating him. Women, white women surged several minutes making their way through the crowd to offer their congratulations. They seemed to have admired the flowers so much. One was heard to say, "I want one of those flowers as a souvenir in honor of the first Negro to take an official seat in this great hall." No one by word or act, which was noticeable showed anything but the kindest regard toward Mr. Moore. It is generally believed that a pretty high-class of Missourians make up the legislative body of the lower house of the Fifty-first General Assembly of Missouri, and as such, they are proud for the most part in being a part of that historic assembly. Mr. Moore said it was the happiest moment of his life to see the loyalty of his Race, and the democratic spirit manifested by the white race whom it will be his to work with during the next two years. ST. LOUISANS PRESENT Among the prominent St. Louisans present to witness these ceremonies were: J. E. Mitchell, editor of The St. Louis Argus; Wm. H. Banks, Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, Dr. T. A. Curtis, Father D. R. Clarke, rector, All Saints Church, Atty. Albert Burgess, Ernest Patillo, R. R. Freeman, Atty. Hutchins Inge, Preston Ingram and others. Rey. J. Lyle Caston, pastor Broadway Baptist Church of Columbia, Mo., formerly of St. Louis was present, also Rufus Logan of Kansas City.

Open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. HELEN BOMBRAYE SCORES HIT IN "PRICE OF A WOMAN'S HONOR" AT B. W. THEATRE Miss Eloise Johnson did not reach St. Louis to take the leading character in "The Price of a Woman's Honor," at the Booker Washington Theatre this week, but her place has been well filled by Helen Bombraye as "Mamie." In fact Miss Bombraye's acting can hardly be improved upon. She is equal to the requirements in all the dramatic lines and her excellent singing voice is displayed during the lighter moments of the production. The story is of a girl, home on a visit from college, tells a victim of an unscrupulous adventurer. She is betrayed and deserted with a child, but traces him to the city and finds herself a maid in the home where he is to be married. She stops the ceremony and he pays the penalty by means of a pistol in her hands. The line: of the drama require a bit of real acting and the versatility of several members of the Bob Russell Company is well shown. Freddie La Joy, as "carlyle" the betrayer, is a finished artist; Bob Russell, as Uncle Rustus, fills a variety of moods; and Bertha Laoy, as the kid sister, is a typical country lass. Jines, as Mamille's friend; Hosephine Russell, as the near bride; and Rubber White in the comic role as a valet; all have important parts well played. The action of the play allows plenty of room for songs, dances and comedy, in which several members of the company appear at their best. There is a variety of specialties to amuse everyone. These include Clara Smith, the coon song shouter, in "The Yellow Dog Rag." Jines and Miss Bombraye in "Take it from Me." Harry Gray in an eccentric dance; several good chorus numbers by the company; and numerous comedy skits in which "Tadpole" Fairchilds and wife, Mac Olden and other get a chance. Taken as a whole, the show is the best of the Russell productions to date. **TROUBLE ALLEY** NEX The Russi company will present "Trouble Alley" at the Booker Washington Theatre next week. It is a rollicking musical comedy located in the famous Bowyer district of New York City. Typical characters of the slum life in a great city are depicted and out of the mixture comes an exhilarating and amusing entertainment. AT THE MOVIES THE COMET—Marshall Neilan's big production, "Dinty," will be featured at The Comet Theatre this Saturday. It is the tale of a fighting San Francisco newsboy, "Dinty O'Sullivan. It deals with his rise to the head of the Newboys' Trust, and the prominent part he plays in running down a band of Malay highbinders who have stolen the assistant district attorney's fiance, Pathos, humor, romance and adventure are the four elements that Marshall Neilan has woven into the plot. The first episode of "Fantomas" will also be shown on Saturday. It is said to have twenty weeks of thrills and stunts. On Thursday, Jan. 13, Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in "The Mark of Zorro." Is a strong romance, containing love, action and humor predominating for five full reels. We are given a very vivid insight of the times when the grandeces ruled sunny California during the last century before its acquisition into the Union. In this picture "Doug" has put more thrills and excitement before our view than he has ever done heretofore. In it we see a replica of the City of Los Angeles as it was a century ago. The new Pathe Serial, "The Face Behind the Curtain" starts at The Comet next Friday, Jan. 14. It is understood that the first chapter begins with a smash and the spoiler kept rollicking through until the end. THE MOVIE—Wm. S. Hurt, in "The Cradle of Courage" will be featured at The Movie Theatre this Sunday. It is a stirring picture in which mother love dominates a rough heart. On Monday, the feature will be Anneke Kellerman in the master undersea production, "What Women Love," and on Tuesday, Geo. Walsh will be seen in the stirring drama of the underworld, "From Now On." THE STAR—On Saturday, the feature at The Star Theatre will be "Geraldine Farrar in "The Riddle Woman." The story is of three women who have fallen, one by one, into the artful toils of a roue. Each woman acted differently in practically the same situation. One was crushed and sought the end. Another believed in him in the face of the whole world. The third fought like a tiger, with the primitive, natural instinct of self-preservation. On Sunday, "Moon Madness" will be shown. Edith Storey in the role of Zora, the daughter of French parents reared by Algerian Arabs, gives finished performance of a young man who follows in the footsteps her gaiety-loving mother only to that true happiness is to be I not in the glitter and display world of fashion but in true big feature at this theatreursday will be Dorothy Phil-Once To Every Woman."

TWO PART WESTERN and TWO PART COMEDY CRITERION THEATRE 2644-46 FRANKLIN AVE. St. Louis' Leading Photo Play Theatre recovery of his fancee who has been kidnapped by a gang of Malay half-breeds, and engineers a little romance of his own, is revealed in one of the best and most unique films of the screen. On Monday and Tuesday, The Pendleton will feature "In The Heart of a Fool." It is one of the most elaborate and dramatic productions of the year. Big in theme, conception and staging, it lays bare the heart of a man who blasphemes his God and ruthlessly violates the sanctity of a woman's love. The offering on Thursday and Friday will be "Hola of Clay." It is a thrilling romantic story, written by Oulda Bergere, takes you to a languorous isle in the South Sea, then to the dizzy heights of London behemian society and at last to a den in the picturesque Limehouse underworld, where true love finds a way out to happiness. THE CRITERION — The big feature at The Criterion Theatre, this Saturday will be "Nomads of the North." It is a story of the Far North and in it is unfolded one of the most absorbing love affairs yet filmed. The struggle of a man and woman to attain matrimonial happiness against the villainy of human plotters devoid of the spirit of fair play and to surmount the difficulties Nature places in the way in a wild country where civilization's hand has not smothered out obstacles can have only one effect and that is to hold every witness thoroughly enraged and enthralled. But there are other outstanding features entirely out of the rodinary in "Nomads of the North." One is the amazingly clever acting of several animals, notably a bear and adog, pals throughout the thrilling story and the other is a forest fire, which is undoubtedly the very acme of realism. On Sunday, The Criterion will offer Norma Talmadge in "The Branded Woman." It is the most ambitious production from point of spectacular stagecraft in Norma Talmadge's career. From out of the past there came her mother's sin, to mock the right to love—to take what God had given — to snatch aside the vell that hid the Brand! THE JEST-A-MERE — On Sunday and Monday the Jesta-Mere Theatre will present "Half A Chance." "Sailor" Burke, an ex-prize fighter and derelict, escapes while being taken to prison for a murder of which he is innocent. He ships as a stoker and, when the boat is wrecked, rescues Jocelyn Wray, the daughter of the Judge who sentenced him. He drifts onto a lonely island and studies law from books found on a wreck. Ten years later, as John Steele, he is San Francisco's greatest criminal lawyer. He again meets Jocelyn Wray and falls in love with her. Her accepted flancee, Jack Ronsdale, recognizes Steele and hires a detective to denounce him. With Jocelyn's aid, he escapes the detectives and, after a fierce fight, secures a confession from a witness to the murder, and discloses Ronsdale as a party to it. The feature, at this Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday will be: "The Best Luck." It is the story of a courageous girl's single-handed battle with a powerful and unscrupulous Spanish grandee for possession of a fortune that lies five fathoms deep in the ocean in the hold of unken galleon. Pheir light carries the girl into the and below the surface of the sea. He flies in an airplane; she dives into the hurling depths of the mighty ocean in a submarine; she rides by night on a powerful motorcycle with the Spaniard's hired minions pursuing in a racing automobile; she hurries across a narrow foot bridge that spans a death chasm.

DIVIDEND This Amount Paid On First Season's Investment In Organized Basball. Club Will Go South To Train Interest in the St. Louis Giants is now at fever heat. The company recently paid a fourteen per cent, dividend and set aside a fund to send the team south for spring training. Base ball in St. Louis has now been placed upon a sound foundation, not only as a sport, but as a safe business proposition. The company has established itself in the confidence of the people and everybody is pulling for the home team. Little Stock For Sale. Many prominent citizens are purchasing stock in the enterprise; A small block of shares were placed upon the market this week and from reports of sales, it will soon be bought up. Andrew "Rube" Foster, president of the National Association was in the city last week and held important conferences with President Mills and Attorney Homer G. Phillips of the Giants. Plans were perfected that will make the league go over big this year. The Giants have been greatly strengthened for the coming season and lines are one for several more strong players. When an Argus reporter recalled the little "cuddy hole" headquarters of the early Giants, five years ago, when one had to "back out to turn around," he paid a visit to President Mills to see how he was enjoying the new regime of prosperity in the game. After qualifying before the secretary in the outer office the reporter was admitted to the private abode at the "boss."

Right Will Prevail Discriminations, repressions, segregation and other worse lilies affecting our brothers of Southern states, are self defeating. Many are justified in crying out against these wrongs. But these will all pass away, must pass away as the sentiments of fairness, justice, square dealing and "each to his equal chance to live and grow", get rooted in the hearts of people. God will have this come to pass. Negroes can and should protest against these evils but never free for God's poor naked and blind cannot be robbed. God will plead the cause of these far better even than our beloved N. A. A. C. P. or our great protestors can ever plead. (7) We urge our politicians who otherwise are qualified to seek representation in every branch of the activities of our state government effecting our group of citizens, either as deputies or as sub-assistants. These places should be sought on the merit of the 250,000 Negro Missouri citizens, who are assessed on approximately 500,000 property in land and houses owned and rented and who are the state's best laborers, easiest spenders and largest consumers in a fashion. This alone not counting our race's loving law abiding and good manners and characters and should entitle Negro Missourians to two Congressmen, fifteen state representatives, and three state Senators. This would profit the state by having that "by their fruits they have representation." Speech by Chairman Bruce The following speech was delivered to the Conference by Chairman N. C. Bruce: "Ladies and Gentlemen: Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, Booker Washington, and Roosevelt are all dead, but the nation lives and, 15 million of our race element of our great America still live."

What a glory crowns our upward struggle! for justice and a squine deal in our never yielding effort for American manhood opportunities, responsibilities and rights! Chinese, Turks, Bulgarians, Armenians, every scum of Asia and Europe flocking to our shores have failed to be the dependable and safe friend to our neighbors and privileged white fellow citizens in comparison with loyal, working and brave fighting Negro Americans. Side by side on the bloody Flanders fields of France and wherever the American white soldiers fought, smoked, yankees, our Colored boys, bared their muscular and powerful breasts and helped save a world for free humanity. No enemy propaganda nor world of gold could buy an American Negro to betray a single trust, nor give aid or comfort to the enemy. This is our glory, that Negroes next to the American white man himself. North, South East or West, are the best and safest friends our White Americans have, who are not bought with gold. "It is not necessary to tell you to 'fret not yourselves because of evil doers' and to 'trust in the Lord and in ourselves and do good' and not to 'fret ourselves in any wise to do evil,' for the Lord will bring forth righteousness as the light and judgment as the noonday. Our business today is to 'commit our way into the Lord, wait patiently for Him and He shall bring it to pass.' "We are not here today to publish to the world our marvelous material and mental progress, just how rich some few are, nor how many lawyers, doctors, preachers and statesmen we have, nor how we have fought for our nation in all her wars. This is all known now much better by our other friends than some of us can publish for them. "We are here today at Missourians, representing a group that as a whole, does the greatest share of group pulling and working and suffering for one party, whether defeated or triumphant, than any other single group of voters. We are here to put aside personal ambition and to mark out a program for our community to become a better place."

Missouri Leads For the Race "I break the secret to many of you when I say that mainly thru your so-called ignorant 'dop hoppers', after six years of effort, the state's 50th General Assembly legalized a Negro Commission and empowered it with the duty of studying the needs of the Negroes of the state and present recommendations for legislations and such other recommendations as careful study and investigations justify. This was some gain. The first real permanent step taken by any American state towards the American ideal of representation with taxpaying and self determination with government. North Carolina has followed suit, but her Governor appointed 3 white men, a Senator a Representative, a leading citizen, and two prominent Negroes. Our outgoing Governor appointed all Negroes, taxpaying, some of whom are large taxpayers, a majority of whom are employers of laborers, all of whom are independent, self supporting.

EL BETHEL BAPTIST, 638 Athlons As the New Year has arrived, El Pethal is planning to grow stronger as the days pass by. Our pastor, Rev. W. W. Perry, delivered a splendid message Sunday on "Child Life." It appeared that he was not alone but visited by the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. At night one of our own, Rev. Hardy, preached on the "Life of Jonas." He knew we was exalted and preached with vim and power. We plan this year to give life to a brighter, helpful spiritual and a more economical future. On Monday night the 27th of Dec, 1920, the Sunday school entertained with a splendid program. All present said they had a very delightful treat. The tree was decorated with articles to show the Christmas spirit. Likewise it was adored with presents for loved ones. The church portrayed the Christmas spirit by commemorating the birth of our Navion. We do the best Christmas marmalade as the time to give and usher the time to serve and show our respect to those we love and love. Therefore the Huge Chest Club of El Bethel Church and friends united together, gave our pastor the sum of $45.41. The "Mission Circle" donated $5.00, thereby making a total of $5.54. This was given from the heart as well as from the purse. We know this was not one half of what he deserved but we did our best and hope to do more by the help of our Heavenly Father. We wish all a very prosperous New Year. Rev. W. W. Perry, pastor. FIRST BAPTIST, Kinloch—It can easily be seen without a shadow of old, is doubt the Holy, as in days of Kieloch.

FIRST FREE BAPTIST, Garrison and Lucas avenues—The First Free Baptist Church is now engaged in a great soul saying meeting and the Lord is wonderfully blessing us. Three souls have been happily converted and we have two accessions. The early prayer service last Sabbath was a spiritual feast. At 11 a. m. our pastor gave us an inspiring sermon. Subject "The importance of confessing Christ." In the afternoon we had a great testimony meeting that was enjoyed by all present. A large audience listened to our pastor at 8 p. m. who delivered one of his soul-stirring sermons. The revival will continue indefinitely. The public is cordially invited to attend all of the services and hear the soul-stirring sermons delivered by our pastor and other ministers—Eyvangelist A. J. Donaldson, pastor. LANE TABERNACLE—Rev. James A. Hamilton, editor of the Christian Index, the official organ of the C. M. E. Church, unreached a glorious message last Sunday morning to a crowd that filled every pew, and corner of the church. It was a wonderful New Year's message, and it was a message that filled every pew, and corner of the church. It was a wonderful New Year's message, and it was a message that filled every pew, and corner of the church. Rev. Hamlett is a loud and distinct speaker and his voice could be heard even to the last news of the church, and he went out andepidictory. The following are the words of his text, taken from the last lines of the 20th chapter of St. Matthew: "Have you done your best?" was the thesis of the sermon. The message captured around Peter and his disciples of Christ. The congregation was made to imagine Christ as a physical friend, one most deserving, being denied by another when his load was heavy. Peter went because he had not done his best. Have you done yours? asked the speaker. Sometimes, the idea might possibly be so high we can't react. In this case we can be convinced by knowing we did our best but did your best. Your best done your best? Hallam was at one time pastor of the C. M. E. Church in Torpien, Kansas, and is noted for his excellent singing and wonderful work in revival meetings. At the time of his election, he was the youngest minister ever elected editor of the Index. "Mr. William Lewis continues to entertain large congregations with his wonderful singing, and will remain throughout next week. He certainly captured the audience when he sang: "A dream of the great judgment morning," last Sunday. Our choir rendered a sweet music male also. Rev. N. L. Smith declares they are the best to be found anywhere. Welcome to serval all next week. Fairfax Baptist. Mr. N. Baptist, Wayward Church, Pleasant Green Baptist and Freewell Baptist were some of the churches that new members were sent last week.

The Good Samaritan love their work, in fact there seems to be a mystic love that binds them together. We always enjoy working for an exceedingly good cause, said Mrs. Farah, President of the club, and Princess of modesty. Christmas the club members presented her with a beautiful lavender. In a recent Steward Board meeting, Chairman J. C. Campbell took a few minutes to tell the officials of his visit to a social affair given by the Good Samaritan Club at the home of Mrs. James Hughes, 432W Cook Ave. It certainly was a classy affair, he said. There are quite a number of people who seem to love the breeze of Good Samaritan Society as the house was crowded on their particular night. The president in the sunshine of her club, and Here's health, happiness and propensity to her and her loyal members. The Liberty Congregational Church — School was increased by the membership of Exeter Henderson, Margaret Drillhet, Lucile Inborden and Velma Guy Miss Lillian Sueed will play two selections at the close of school next Sunday.

AN EXCITED OPINION BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 5.—Boston has been shaken by the declaration of the Rev. Walter D. McClane, pastor of the St. Bartolomew Episcopal Church of Cambridge, made at a meeting of Colored professional and business men; that they were no doubt in his mind that in the event of war between this country and Japan that the Negro people would take sides with Japan. A few of the men present demurred from the conclusions of the noted divine. LORD NORTHCLIFFE SAYS GREAT BRITAIN WOULD NOT SUPPORT JAPAN AGAINST U. S. LONDON, Jan. 13—Lord Northcliffe in a statement denies that the Anglo-Japanese alliance would require Great Britain to attack Japan in any war against the United States. He says in part: "When this (Anglo-Japanese) alliance was revised in July 1911, a clause was inserted, stipulating that nothing in the agreement should entail upon either contracting party an obligation to go to war against any power with whom a treaty of general arbitration had been concluded and was in force. "President Taft had concluded with Great Britian felt that this treaty might be out of harmony with the alliance the latter should be modified and so brought into harmony with the Anglo-American arbitration treaty. "It is an important fact that this revision and renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty were carried out only after the fullest consultation in London with the responsible ministers of the dominions, who gave their unrestricted support."

What happened in reality was that not Great Britain, but the United States senate, refused to ratify the treaty of arbitration. March 1912. "But in default of an arbitration treaty is the peace commission treaty, signed at Washington, Sept. 15, 1914. Though this is not a general arbitration treaty within the meaning of article 4 of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, Britian notified Japan at the moment of its signature that it would be so regarded by Great Britan. "There is no possibility of an Anglo-Japanese combination against the United States. How, in these circumstances, England can be suspected of readiness to become a party to such a combination passes my comprehension." "If the Japanese are building ships against the United States they are lacking in a sense of proportion. If the United States is building battleships against any hypothetical enemy, it is forgetting its own recent history and is overlooking the political realities of the British empire, which make it impossible to unite Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa on behalf of or with the Japanese." A GOOD SAMPLE OF "SOUTHERN JUSTICE" CHARLESTON, 8. C. Jan. 5—H is sometimes interesting to see the way "justice" is meted out in tht South, and to have the story told from the "other fellow's" point of view, as attest the following dispatch from Rock Hill to the daily newspaper: "we have this morning carried to the challenge to serve a period of 30 days for carrying a pistol." "Cyrburn, who lives 2004 Smiths, carried a load of cotton to the gimmy to be gimmed. A white farmer arrived just before and claimed the right to have his cotton gimmed first. The Negro is said to have hoistfully declared 'that what it took to get his cotton gimmed first, he had it', and he reached right of way. While the cotton was being gimmed Sheriff Quinn, State Constable Johnson and Constable Allen passed. The Negro was gimmed first, he had new Constable Allen. The letter stepped into a store and when Cyrburn came out, he was bagged by the other officers. The Negro is said to have resumed to Sheriff Quinn that he was sorry he did not kill the white farmer." Clybarn was bought here and given a hearing before Magistrate Wingate, who gave him 30 days for carrying a pistol.

Stevens said: "It's a tragedy of the age to see my people with all their power asleep." When we hear the word tragedy we think of an eventful end; we think of a horrible state and we shudder as we anticipate the end. Pastor Stevens has a vision. He can see the danger ahead. Danger because we are asleep to our possibilities. He used strong language like the watchman on the wall. He is anxious about his people and is trying to "wake them up." In times like these we as a Race need true men for leadership, we need wise men for leadership, we need men who think and act like free men, not those who are slaves at heart. We need those who have vision, who can see our possibilities. The horse or the ox has great power. Man rules them because man out thinks them. If it were possible for them to realize their power they would be the masters. We need an awakening. We are like the horse or ox, in that we do not use our possibilities to our advantage. Look! for a moment at the money we earn and spend in this city each day. Over fifty-thousand dollars is a conservative estimate. How much of it is handled in a commercial way by members of our Race. There is a reason for the statement, the tragedy of the age to see our people asleep. We need a few more men with a vision, who will sound the clarion call, and tell a weary people that the day has come for them, like the Prodigal Son, come to themselves and then, we with the proud heart of another rejoice together. What are you doing towards awakening your fellowman? He is blind who go along the same old ruts. He is blind who spends all he earns. He is asleep who sits quietly by and see his civil and political rights taken from him without protest. Let us all pray for a mighty awakening of our people everywhere. Once awake, the problem is solved. It is said that a storm of protest has come from Southern representatives on the committee of census following the charge made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that unjust discrimination against Negro voters in the Southern States. Representative Larsen of Georgia said it was an "insult" to the Southern commonwealths to make such a charge. He branded the statements as false, and said, "They do not vote because they do not want to." We do not personally know Mr. Larsen from Georgia, nor Mr. Aswell of Louisiana, neither do we know Mr. Bee of Texas, who are members of the committee on census. But we are quite sure that no one will take them seriously when they say the Negro does not want to vote. The recent Presidential election, when five Negroes lost their lives trying to vote in Louisiana is positive proof that the Negroes not only wanted to vote but they were willing to die for that right. It is not strange, however, to hear these Southern statesmen say, "They vote if they want to." These representatives know what the Colored people have gone through in these Southern States for the sale of the ballot. In fact, we would not be surprised to hear some Negroes themselves, actually say they did not want to vote or that the Negroes have no business in politics. But it reminds us of the story grandma use to tell us about their longings for freedom, but always afraid to tell their masters, for fear the chains of slavery would be forged tighter. Everbody knows that there is no truth in such statements. Not that we care a thinker darn about what those white representatives say concerning the Negro voting in the South. But the thing that alarms us most is that some Negroes themselves will say they don't want to vote. Brethren let's quit lying about those essential things that affect us as a race. Lets tell the truth if we have to die the next minute. HOLD-YOUR JOBS Perhaps no subject should claim our attention just now more than that of employment. The fellow on his job is the fellow on the winning side, for the "almighty dollar" is slowly, but surely coming into its own again. A dollar today will buy more than it has in a long time, with bright prospects. We are mindful of the report coming from the Hotel and Restaurant Men's Association, stating that the Negro waiters would hold their jobs as long as they did their work satisfactorily. This is a mighty challenge to the men who have those jobs. Their poise, their fore thought, their good judgment, their intelligence and industry all play an important part in enabling them to make good. It is obvious to say that while at work one shuold save some of their earnings. Few of us earn so little that we cannot save some if we only will. The man who saves today will be the fellow who will be ahead tomorrow. Let us all use our thoughts to a better advantage by working a little more, and saving a little more.

Southern members of the committee, led by Aswell, Louisiana; Bee, Texas; and Larsen, Georgia, protested that Negro witnesses were "insulting Southern commonwealths."

MEXICAN RESENTS INSULT Kills White Traveling Man On Moving Train Who Referred To His People As Greasers National Negro Press Association MALMOUTH Negro Press Association AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 5.—Mexicans resent being called "Greersers." This was demonstrated a short white ago when a white traveling salesman had his throat cut from car to car after he had referred to the Mexican people as low-down "greersers." The affair occurred upon an M. K. and T. train. It appears that the white traveling salesman came into a coach which was pretty well filled with Mexicans who were going to various points in Texas and some to their home in Mexico from the cotton fields and labor camps. It appears that this white man could find no seat. He became infurred, and blurted out. It is said in substance the following: "It is in an outrage that a white man can't find a seat in a train and that all these low-down Mexican Greersers are comfortably seated while I must stand up." It is said that he continued this kind of haranguing for several miles on the fast moving train until one, of the Mexicans rose from his seat, pulled out his knife and without any words or quarrel, he proceeded to carve up this white salesman, cut- Hing his throat from car to car, is said that the man died almost instantly. When two other white men came to the rocene of the injured man they too, were given their share. The Mexican was arrested and put in jail charged with murder, but it is said that he has made no remarks except that his people are men and thousand of them are citizens of the United States. It developed that these people are as much opposed to being called out of their names as the Japanese people in this country are to being called Japs, and that this is just as distasteful to them as it is to the Colored people to call them "migger." The affair has created no little comment, and it is said down this law that it is the first lesson in a course that the Mexican people intend to give to the white people of the United States in referring to them or addressing them in an unpleasant manner. JAPANESE START A RIOT IN AUSTRALIA Associated Negro Press SYDNEY, Australia, Dec. 20.—A armed Japanese, claiming racial equality, ran an attack in Broome, Western Australia, the center of the pearling industry, where large numbers of Japanese are employed.
