WORLD WIDE RACE PROBLEM Editor Of "America At Work" Warns White People Of This Nation Of The Growing Dissatisfaction, On The Part Of Black Men With injustices Forced Upon Him By The Whites. Taxation Without Representation And Withholding Of Political Power From Race Is Making Bad Matters Worse. Asks For Councils Of Sound Judgment And Good Will Before Some Sort Of Volcanic Up-burst Forces The Issue At An Hour Too Late For Straight Thinking, Right Feeling Or Well Considered Action. Says White People Of Southern Blood Owe A Debt, That Cannot Be Paid, For The Loyalty And Fidelity Of Je Negroes. the following article was published in "America At Work", issue December 30. This publication is a journal of Finance, Industry Commerce, issued twice a month in the Mississippi Valley. Paul Broca, a banker and member of the Board of Directors of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company in St. Louis, is editor and publisher has had a broad experience in the affairs of men. We reproduce his article on the subject of "World Wide Race, robber," for the benefit of our readers. By PAUL W. BROWN Is the white population of the United States going to wake up to the fact that the relation of the dark races to the light ones all over the world was greatly complicated by the war? Are we going to see this for ourselves and act with sense, sanity and sympathy while their is leisure for the counsels of sound judgment and good will, or are we going to wait until some sort of a volcanic up-burst forces the issue upus at an hour too late for straight thinking, right feeling, or well considered action? in its conventional pink tea sense—is not desired by the American Negro and is not being discussed anywhere by blacks or whites. The charge that it is an issue is never made except in moments of emotional confation when panic has come in at the door, and judgment fown out at the window. Taxation Without Representation The real issues are: Taxation without representation—or the withholding of all political power from black citizens who are industrious and law-abiding and whose labor, skill, and accumulated property are valuable economic assets. Second, the destruction of the One thing we may as well recognize at the outset: The many millions of Negroes in the United States are the best clothed, best fed, best housed, best furnished, best educated, and best trained of all the dark races of the world. If the growing dissatisfaction on the part of the black men with their treatment by white ones comes to a head anywhere, it will be here. The very fact that the black man has attained broader culture and wider opportunity in the United States than anywhere else in the world makes it especially important that we should be awake to the world situation. Suglarly enough, the American press is mole-blind to world conditions with respect to the relations of the races; there are many things seen on the other side of the world which appear to be hidden from us. So far as "America at Work" knows, it was left to an English writer in an English Review to first point out to the people of the United States the seriousness of the clash in thought and theory concerning the relation of the black race to the white, between what might be called the Booker T. Washington view, whose most distinguished champion is perhaps President Moton of Tuskegee Institute, and the opposition party led by that brilliant writer, W. E. Burgardt DuBois. Gave Their Life's Blood The World War made a new demand on the black man. It demanded that he go out to shed his blood for modern Democracy in the forms under which that Democracy is realized in the United States and the British Empire and France. Says Mr. DuBois: "We are returning from war! Tens of thousands of black men were drafted into a great struggle. For bleeding France and what she means and has meant to us and humanity and against the threat of German race arrogance, we fought gladiate and to the last drop of blood; for America and her highest ideals, we fought in far-off hope; for the Dominant Southern oligarchy entrenched in Washington we fought in litter resignation. For the America that represents and glouts on lynching, disfranchisement, caste, brutality and devilish insult—for this, in the hateful upturning and mixing of things, we were forced by vindictive fate to fight and die also. "But today we return! We return from the slavery of uniform which the world's madness demanded us to do. We stand again to look America squarely in the face. We stug! This country of ours, despite all its better souls have done and dreamed, is yet a shameful land." "IR. LYNCHES ..... IF DISFRAHCHISEN the own citizenship ..... it encourages IGNORANCE ..... IF STEALS from us ..... it INSULTS us ....." Mist We Beckoned With For the present we desire to point out two things. The first is that the point of their instilution in these woods is in itself a thing to reckon with. It is an indictment on moral grounds of the treatment of blacks by whites in the United States. Formulated in the hour of the return of the blocks from Bokh where their fellows had down their lives in order that our form of civilization might persist. We cannot afford to ignore it for this reason, second—and this is hard for us in The St. Louis Argus in its conventional pink-tie sense—is not desired by the American Negro and is not being discussed anywhere by blacks or whites. The charge that it is an issue is never made except in moments of emotional contagion when panic has come in at the door, and judgment flown out at the window. Taxation Without Representation The real issues are: Taxation without representation - or the withholding of all political power from black citizens who are industrious and law-abiding and whose labor, skill, and accumulated property are valuable economic assets. Second, the destruction of the value of property purchased by Negroes and adjacent property owned by whites through the utter failure of American real estate men to make adequate pro CONSTABLE BUSH IS ARRESTED ON GAMBLING CHARGE Fourth District Official Must Also Face A Jury Next Tuesday On Indictment For Fraud In Primaries Last August.

Bond of the Wayne Circuit Court as special judge to hear three cases of alleged lynch law violations in circuit court. MRS. V. C.HALEY SUES HER HUSBAND FOR A DIVORCE Charges He Is Sullen, Quarrelsome And Threatened To Do Her Bodily Harm. Says He Is The One Injured And Hints He Will File Proceedings. Jas. L. Haley was made defendant in a suit for divorce by his wife, Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley in the Crestit court of this city, Wednesday, Jan. 12. Owing to the prominence of the parties in the suit, the case has attracted a deal of attention. In her petition, Mrs. Haley states that she was married to the defendant June 15, 1944 and that they were separated Dec. 6, 1925. She charges that her husband was quarrelsome and sullen; that he refused to live with her for a period of about eight months at one time, believing on the third floor and leaving her on the second floor. And when she would ask him to return to her, he would tell her to go her way and let him go him. She further charges that on one occasion she was seized by the threat and threatened to be thrown out, and was told to go. When seen by an Argus reporter, Mr. Haley, who is now staying at the Grand Central Hotel, Pine and Jefferson, stated that he did not care to discuss the case, but said that everybody knows that the charges are false, and made a general denial of most of the allegations. He said his wife had been acting cheer ever since she joined the Christian Science Church, which is located at Kingshighway and Westminster, but everything went fairly well until she returned home from Chicago, following the election last November. "It was all off after she returned," said Mr. Haley. "While I have always served her and have cooked two thirds of my meals since we were married, yet I was willing to stick. But I could do nothing to please her after the election. She told me to get out and I refused to go, so one evening when I returned from work she had all my things packed up and I asked her what it meant; she said: "it means for you to go." I told her to give me a little time. It was winter, and I had put in cool there and was happy." She asked how much time I wanted. I told her ten days, so she agreed to that. After ten days, I moved." Mr. Haley said he did not care if she got a divorce, because if she did not want him, he didn't want her. But he did not like some of the charges in the petition. He stated that he would probably fight the case and file for divorce himself. Adding that he thought he was the injured party. Mr. Haley is a clerk in the local Post Office here and ranks high in efficiency. Mrs. Haley is director of a Community Center at Garrison and Lucas avenues. Her attorneys are Judson & Grisen. The case is to come up in the February term of court. HARLEM HOSPITAL SUPT. TRANSFERRED FOR HIS EQUAL RIGHTS TENDENCY NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 19. There is consternation in informed medical and civic circles in arlem today wherever the startling news has reached that Supt. J. D. O'Nell of Harlem Hospital has been transferred without apparent cause. The stalwart superintendent had become a fixed and popular institution in the great community and his removal strikes the doctors and those interested in the civic affairs of the teeming black belt as the removal of one of the pillars of its stability and progress. Inquiry in official circles seemed to point conclusively to the fact that the board of Hospital Trustees, one of whom is Southern born, has removed Mr. O'Neil because of his insistence on standing back of a square deal to the sterling young colored doctors on the staff. Dr. Louis T. Wright and Dr. Johnson as well as the colored public. NEGRO IS ELECTED VILLAGE COUNCILMAN DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 13—Dr. James L.

GIRL CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER AT WASHINGTON Clara Johnson Found Guilty Of Killing Policeman During Riots In 1919. REQUESTS NEW TRIAL Colored Girl Now At Liberty On Bond Arranged By Nat'l Race Congress Special To The Argus WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19 Clara Johnson, 18-year-old colored girl, was found guilty of manslaughter yesterday by a jury before Justice Guild, in connection with the slaying of Detective Sergeant Harry Wilson on July 21, 1919, during the race riots in the Capital. Upon motion of District Attorney Laskey the court dropped the charge of first-degree murder which the grand jury had returned against William Johnson father of the girl. Counsel for the defense were not allowed to use this fact, however, to oppose the charge of the government that the girl shot the detective. Was Tried on Murder Charge The girl was tried on a charge of first-degree murder. The jurors compromised on the manslaughter verdict. The girl was calm when the foreman of the jury announced the verdict but later broke down and wept. She was led from the courtroom by a matron. The trial began Monday in Criminal Court No. 1, but there was difficulty in obtaining a jury, and the taking of testimony was not begun until Tuesday afternoon. The prosecution, conducted by Assistant District Attorneys Cromelin and Van Doren, charged that Detective Wilson was killed as he was entering the Johnson home in search of persons who had fired into the street. After an exchange of pistol shots the detective fell, mortally wounded, and William Johnson and his daughter were discovered by other officers, hiding under a bed. It was testified that an empty cartridge was found in a revolver in their home. **Ask New Trial** The government's difficulty was to prove which, if any, of the defendants fired the shot that killed Detective Wilson. Attorneys H. L. Gaskins and T. M. Watson, who defended Clara Johnson, contended it was not possible to prove what shot struck the officer. These attorneys, both colored, made a masterly defense and have entered a plea for a new trial, which they have every reason to believe will be granted. **Out On Bond** This is the last and most difficult of the court cases against Negroes growing out of the riot. The National Race Congress has stood ready to lend any assistance possible in all of these cases. The Negro lawyers of Washington, D. C. deserve great credit for the able professional services they have rendered free of charge. The Race Congress has become responsible for her bond, which was fixed at $5,000, and she is now at liberty. It will take a large sum of money to fight this close to the finish. - And the Congress is determined to save this young and promising girl of 18 years from serving a sentence for a crime of which many believe her to be innocent. The organization is asking every member of the Race everywhere to send to its office any amount can contribute or influence friend to contribute. Address NationN Race Congress, 619 M. street, N. W.

ABYSSINIAN SENTENCED TO GALLOWS Leader Of 'Abyssinian' Riot In Chicago, And His Chief Lieutenant Given Extreme Penalty Says, "God Won't Let Them Hang Me" PLEA OF INSANITY IS SHATTERED BY ALIENIST Generally Believed That He Is Crazy. Speech And Actions Erratic. "Jonah" The White Leader, Still Organizing Movement. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Jan. 19. "They can't hang me. God won't let em," said Grier Cleveland Redding, foremost figure in the "Abbysinian Riot" here last June. Redding had been found guilty and sentenced to hang together with Oscar McGavitt, his chief Lieutenant for participation in the street brawl in the heart of hite Colored section, at which Robert L. Rose, a sailor and Joseph Hart, a cigar clerk, both white, had been killed, and Patrolman Joseph Owens, Colored, severely wounded. The riot occurred during a parade led by Riddling and Jonas and organized for the purpose of recruiting Negroes to the "Back in Albanymin" movement, of which Riddling was the head and self-acclaimed prophet of God. Exercises followed the parade and Riddling burned an American flag at the corner of Indiana avenue and thirty-fifth street. Rose who was in uniform, interfered and was shot. Mob hysteria followed, in which Hart was also slain. Redding's insanity was shattered Wednesday when Dr. William O. Krohn state ally alienated Redding had admitted deception to him as his only chance to escape the rope. Many people have expressed the opinion that Redding is really insane. His actions and speech are very crude. Redding handed a Colored reporter the card of one of the assistant State's attorneys and told him that the state's attorney was his lawyer. One of the defendants asked the same reporter, "to go and see my boss and have him come get me out." They seemed to have no comprehension of the extent of the charge against them. They are simple people of low intelligence and it is said that a white agitator knew the country over as "Jones" who was their leader and who was arrested at the time of the riot in which he was one of the chief paraders, but was later released, fired them with the foofish goal which led to the trouble. Jones is said to be still organizing Abysinian movements throughout the country.

Arrested After Release on Habeas Corpus Claim Boy Never Lived In Tennessee. Worked In St. Louis Last 3 Years. Requisition Hearing At Jefferson City Saturday. Alonzo Willis was 17 year old Negro youth who was acquitted in the circuit court of the charge of murder last week when an alleged confession was ruled out by the court is still in jail. Immediately upon his acquittal of the charge of murder the police department re-arrested him, and held him for the authorities of Tennessee for a similar crime, alleged to have been committed in February, 1926. Last Saturday afternoon, Attorneys Vaughn and Garner sued out a Writ of Habeas Corpus before Circuit Judge Landwehr and the same was set for Tuesday morning, of this week. The Police Department came in according to the Attorneys, and made their return that they were holding Willis for the Tennessee authorities and that said authorities, as far as they knew, had made no effort to extradite Willis. The representative of the City Councillors Office urged the Court to release Willis under the return, because there was no authority to hold him at the time the writ was issued. This was done. Re-arrested in Corridor. As soon as Willis stelted out of the court room, Police rushed up and re-arrested him on the same charge and placed him in jail, where he now languishes. His attorney had already used a second writ of Ihabea Corpus, which was made returnable Friday morning, the 21st, and wired the Governor of Missouri ruling that they be heard when the application for Extradition warrant is made. Willis Never Lived in Tennessee. It is said by a number of witnesses that Willis' never lived "In the State of Tennessee, and that the only time he was ever in the State was while passing through on the train some five years ago on his way to St. Louis from his home in Mississippi. At that time he was a lad in short trusers. Willis has lived here in St. Louis during the past five years and has worked for the Swift Packing Company for the last three years, and during the week in which it is alleged the murder was committed in Tennessee Willis made forty hours time. An investigation of 15 minutes was sufficient to disclose these facts. Comrade Speaks in Church. When Rev O. C. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church announced in his morning services last Sunday that the N. A. A. C. P. was interested in Willis' case, and would hold a meeting in his church on Tuesday night, a member of his congregation, who worked with Willis, arrose and made the statement that he had worked by Willis' side for a long time and that in the last February when the "supposed murder was committed in Tennessee. Willis worked at least forty hours. Brutally Beaten by Ronce. At the murder trial last week, of Willis, a confession which he is alleged to have made was ruled out by the Court, after it was shown that the Police had beaten Willis, so that his face and neck were swollen, and that a rope had been placed around his neck and twisted with a stick, choking him until he confess, to having committed a murder and a holdup on the 21st Street Bridge. After the confession was used out, there was no evidence in the case to warrant a conviction and Willis was acquitted. Through the kindness of Mossra, C. J. Carter and Dan Fenner, Willis case was brought to the attention of the N. A. A. C. P. And at the meeting of the Association last Tuesday night, the action of the Legal Committee in taking charge of the case was approved, and the Association is raising money to help defend him. Mossra, Carter and Fenner are also helping and several of the ministers of the city have agreed to go before their congregations in the matter. The attorneys say that the case will be carried to the highest Court in the State, it necessary, in order to see that Justice is done.

NEW COMET THEATRE 2110 Market Street "THE SYMBOL OF THE UNCONQUERED" A mighty Epoch Of The Screen in 8 Sensational Reels, more crowded with Action, Love, Intrique, and Suspense than Any Photoplay Mischeaux ever Produced A RACE SCREEN CLASSIC NOW SHOWN IN THE BEST THEATRES THROUGH THE COUNTRY "TWENTY MINUTES IN IELL" A THRILLING ENTERTAINER WITH A GOOD MORAL, AT B-W. An impressive moral is to be pleased from "Twenty Minutes" to "Hell", as presented by Bob Russell's Company at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. It is broad enough to furnish everyone with a cause for personal reflection and the lesson to be taught is plainly effective. The production is not serious, however. In fact it is a top notch entertainer or real merit. Although at times it bristles with thrills, there are many moments of hilarious comedy. In brief, it tells of a warward individual, known as "Simp", who takes the story of Meflips to seriously and dreams he has sold his soul to the devil. The experiences that pass through his mind in the dream is vividly played on the stage. The scene in hell is replete with fairy costumes and electric effects and is full of Thrills. Coming out of the dream, Simp hears the sweet strains of "The Rosary" and decides to lead a better life, and the Devil is punished to his own domain. Freddie LaJoy is an artistic devil and Rubber White in the role of "Simp" keeps the audience laughing. Several others in the company have connecting roles in the act and all play parts well. The playlet is offset with several good specialties: A jail house scene by the Fairchilds; Joylove in "An Answer From Sam"; and Clara Smith singing "Someone Else May Be There While I'm Gone". The opening piece is a chorus with a New Year setting and outing costumes of winter. Elaine Johnson Arrives Miss Elise Johnson, one of the most popular actresses on the stage and a favorite new arrival Wednesday and will play the leading female role in "Toby's Greecies" at the Booker Washington next week. The action of the play surrounds the thoughtfulness of a housewife who sold a pair of her husband's pants to a rag man. They contained all his earnings and the complication of doing incident to his effort to reclaim them affords a continuous stream of hilarious fun. Alex Lovejoy will have the leading male part. AT THE MOVIES THE STAR—"The Breath of the Gods" will be featured at the Star Theatre this Saturday. It is the story of a woman's consuming love for her husband, her country and her sweetheart; her sacrifice for honor and her tragic death. On Sunday, the feature will be Neal Hart in "Skyfire." It is a story of the great Northwest replay with thrills and excitement. The story back to the days of the Chippewa Indians and their mythical belief in the spirit of the nation borealis, which led them from darkness to light, from hunger to plenty. One of the big scares is a brilliant display of the Northern Lights. The big special for next Thursday will be Robert Coleman's "NEI." It is a baffling mystery story. There is something new every minute to further mislead you and keep you wondering how it is going to turn out. It holds your interest from the start, and the crowding climax will make you gasp. Aeneas lapin, master crook, is accused of murdering wealthy maid although he had never been known to kill before. Lupita cleverly heads the police in search of the real murderer keeping under cover himself. After many thrilling encounters, he solves the problem in a satisfactory manner. The COMET—Pearl White in "The Thick" will be seen at the Comet Theatre this Sunday. "The Thick" is a story of a woman who marries a man who cannot give her the fine clothes worn by other women in his social circle and their secrets and the smile of the man came her to steal money for grocer. Her wonderful clothes bring a change at once. Women patronize her. Men try to make love to her. And one man even takes the blame for several thefts to shield her. It is full of impurity. Until the end of the play, no one can tell who the culprit is. On Thursday, The Comet will offer Chear Micheauy, romance of the Greenwood, "The Symbol of the Uncompared." It is presented with an all-star cast of Colored players and drama with an effort to winkle a Colored man out a colored worthless gift of land on which oil has been discovered. To carry out this scheme the Ku Kua Kua is reported to find they are so ill at the hour of midnight in white, like ghosts, and with fiery burners. They fall in their effort, however, and the colored man becomes a multimillion through his reputation on oil. It is a stirring picture with a sweet hero story. THE JEST A MÉRRE—Beginning Sunday and running for play days, the Jest a more Theatre will have three Mérres. "The Symbol of the Uncompared." This is the latest moment of the series of prison heist dramas. It is a thrilling encounter with a beautiful love story and for an all-star Colored Theater, the story of the second installment of the house. A AMAZING INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE in 7 Parts. A DRAMA made of the clash of three great races, America, France and Japan a clash of tempegrants, of diplomacy, of love, of beliefs that are stronger than itself. A great picture of a romance that rocked a triumph, that the exotic beauty of the Land of the Cherryblossom, "THE RATHER OF THE GODS" is a great heart appeal story that could only have given the world by the camera a marvelously beautiful tale of the three loves of woman, portrayed by a galaxy of talented players and propped with a liveliness and fidelity in detail which mark it as one of the most notable pictures of the year.

St. Louis' Leading Photo Play Theatre works his way into the good grace of the assistant District Attorney, aids in the recovery of his fancer who has been kidnapped by a gang of Malay halfbreeds, and engineers a little romance of his own. Is revealed one of the best and most unique films of the screen. THE CRITERION—Pearl White in "The Tiger's Cub," will be featured at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. The story deals with primitive conditions in the frozen North—with purity driven in desperation by villainy—with criminality culminating in murder—with love thwarted but finally triumphant—with all the elementary passions of human nature. Thrilling situations follow one another rapidly, and the happy ending is arrived at without stretching one's imagination to the breaking point. On Sunday, The Criterion will show Olive Thomas in "Everybody's Sweetheart." The story is of a little 'Nobody' on the County Poor Farm. Her name is Mary. Although she has no reason to believe her dreams will ever come rue, the little walt Mary thinks continually of the day when she and her boy companion John, also an inmate of the poor house, will be married and rich. But Fate plays strange tricks sometimes and Mary's dream not only comes true but in a most unexpected though extremely satisfactory manner. On Monday the Criterion offering will be Geraldine Farrar in "The Riddle Woman." The story is of three women who have fallen, one by one into the artful foils of a rogue. 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 Tought like a tiger, with the primitive, natural instinct of self-preservation.

Her teachings Marie, adheres to these teachings, while her son, who is seen constantly with a dark girl, Georgia Johnson, whose teachings have been that she should love everyone, believes that he should be allowed to associate with whom he pleases. Because of this constant association, he is exiled to the farm of his uncle, where he is mistreated. He travels a rocky road of experiences until he finally becomes an expert mechanic and lands a good job. In the meantime things are not going too well for his home relatives. His mother dies, his sister is wronged by her employer. He marries the dark girl he loves.

Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, Jan. 11—George Herman Lawson, president of the recently incorporated Continental Baseball Association, was here inspecting park sites for the league clubs which he hopes to install in of neag city. The promoter and executive of the new "outlaw" league said that three of the eight franchises for the eight clubs had been granted as follows: Indiana with the state club playing at Indianapolis; Massachusetts, a thoston and Ontario, at Toronto. The New Jersey state franchise was practically elitched for Camden, Lawson stated. In connection with the New Jersey Pennsylvania and Massachusetts franchises Lawson stated he was strongly considering the installation of Negro or Cuban clubs. He pointed out that the Negro population of Boston and Philadelphia formed a large percentage of the thecity population and that there were at least 196 Negro baseball players in this country who equalized in playing skill the best average of the major leagues and who, although they are citizens of the country, were barred from playing in either the major or minor leagues under present conditions. Court Get Hildahl PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. 19,—I have never seen Al Lawson and know nothing of Illusiafe having been offered a. trainee in the new Continental Baseball League." This was the reply of Manager George Bollen in a query whether this city's famous coloured teams would accept a place in Lawson's proposed circuit. THE ST. LOUIS'ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 21, 1921 Dec. 3, I attended a meeting in Indianapolis, at which time Hildale together with the Bacharach Giants, became affiliated with the National Association of Colored Baseball Cubs, which is composed of 10 of the strongest colored teams in America. "Eight of the teams represent cities in the West, with the Bacharach Giants and Hildale in the East. A regular schedule will be played and each of the eight Western clubs will appear in tbls city during the summer. "The teams composing the league are the Kansas City Monarchs, St. Louis Giants, the A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis, Rube Foster's American Giants Dayton Marcos, representing Columbus Detroit Stars, the Western Cubans, which will represent Cincinnati, Bacharach Giants, representing New York and Atlantic City, and Hildale of Philadelphia." "Started Too Late" Says Charlie Mills Charles A. Mills, secretary of the National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs and president of the St. Louis Giants, was asked by an Argus reporter what he thought of the new Continental League. Mills said, "It has not been brought to my attention before. I never heard of Lawson and his plan. There are plenty of good strong colored clubs in the east and west as well, outside of our League, but if the Continental people expect to cup in with the Hillsdale or Graceland giants, they will be disapplied. These strong eastern clubs are now affiliated with our league in tree bound contracts. The National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs is built on a solid foundation and as sound as a dollar. Colored ballplayers have been decided the right to play in the major and minor leagues. Now we have a league of our own that will in a short time, compare favorably with the majors. The big leagues have lost thousands of dollars by barring the Negro, but it's too late to wake up now. We've gone from them now."

Just before signing the final contract to meet, the Harvard graduate manager, it is said, informed Dr. Lambeth of the Virginia faculty that two of the best men on the Crimson squad had Negro blood in their veins and that it was not deemed admissible to bring the squad south without them. The manager stated that he realized the feeling prevailing in the south regarding the matter and desired to make the facts known.

The Argus WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 19 Mr. J. Williams Clifford, late first lieutenant of Infantry and Special Representative of the colored soldiers in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and new President and Administrative head of the Monumental Pictures Corporation stated last night in an informal gathering of representative young men of his race, that he was chagrined and deeply hurt at not finding any action motion pictures of Negro Combat Units in the collection of motion pictures taken by the U. S. Signal Corps in France. Mr. Clifford who is now getting out a Negro News reel on the order of the Pathe News desired, to have some of these pictures in his first release which will be ready for distribution the first of February. He was greatly disappointed in finding for the most part only pictures of the Negro labor and stevedores units building roads and handling supplies and of colored soldiers peeling potatoes and jiggling. He stated that it was a terrible injustice to the courageous and brilliant achievements of the members of his race of the famous 15th Infantry of New York and other combat units that no pictures were made showing their intrepid and dauntless bravery in action on the Western Front and which so materially contributed to the glorious victory and to the protection of American honor and integrity. NEW MICHEAUX FILM HITS KU-KLUX-KLAN "The Symbol Of The Unconquered" Also Takes A Thrust At Negroes Who Are "Passing For White" Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—"Moving Pictures have become one of the greatest vitalizing ferros, in race adjustment, and we are just beginning." Thus apologe Oscar Michaoux, the leading and most successful producer of the Racers, for the Associated Negro Press. Mr. Michaoux spent a few days in Chicago at the southern opening of his latest and most penetrations picture. "The Symbol of the Unconquered." This production demonstrates beyond DICK MASON, an aged Negro who had the wilds of the great Northwest, retu- in the South where he dies, leaving the daughter and the last of his kin, Evon Mass- room, who later goes therewith to make proof of his Crietown, she proceeds to the little Jefferson Driscoll, night clerk and a Negro but white, refuses her accommodations. Hungry, couraged, she wanders into the forest; a storm ce- becomes lost and is picked up in a miserable condi- morning by Hugh Van Allen, colored, and a prospect E. she had met on the street the afternoon before, but whi- lay, he had and was still, unknown to her, mistaking her for merely courteous, while with her—she had fallen in love wit at first sight. . . . When later Van Allen discovered Driscoll had treated her, he goes and beats that one up—result to "get even." Driscoll schemes and succeeds in selling Van Allen what he, Driscoll, thought to be a tract of the most worthless land in the country. When he discovered later that those self- same lands were underlaid with a sea of oil and valuable beyond description, and he was unable to persuade Van Allen to sell them back to him, in league with a Negro hating Squawman, he launches a plot to drive Van Allen off the lands and out of the country by recourse to the insidious . . . . . . At the hour of midnight, robbed in white, like ghosts, and with fiery torches, they ride down on Van Allen. In the meantime, Evon, who had gotten word of the plot, dashes into the village and gets the settlers, who ride with her to Van Allen's rescue. In due time oil is discovered on Van Allen's lands, he becomes a millionaire—and then of how Evon came back after two years again into his life and he discovered at last that she was of his own blood, makes up one of the most stirring, yet sweet love stories ever screened.

The story of the picture is a stirring tale of love and adventure in the great unsettled and open northwest, but through it all are impressive lessons on the folly of color, both within and without the race. “There is one thing aside from the story interesting, that is I strive to demonstrate in all my pictures,” said Mr. Micheaux, “and that is, it makes no difference what may be a person’s color, or from where a person comes, if the heart is right, that’s what counts and success is sure.” "The Symbol of The Unconquered" takes a significant thrust at the "more than 500,000 people in America who with Negro blood in their veins are passing for white." One of the most thrilling and realistic scenes is that of the Ku Klux Klaners who ride forth on the stroke of twelfer to pursue their orgy of destruction and terror. Coming at this time when there is an attempt to revive this post- civil War force of ignominy and barbarism, denounced by the leading people of both races, in speech and editorials. North and South, the effect of disgust and determination are heightened. Mr. Micheaux announces that his productions are now being shown in all of the leading country of Europe, including England, France, Italy, Spain and in Africa and the leading South American Republics. Arrangements have practically been concluded to make at least one production a month, in which scores of the leading performers of the country are to be used.

During Rev. Caston's pastorate of two and one-half months the success of the church financially spiritually and from a soul-saving standpoint is almost miraculous. The church is back of Rev. Caston to a man. Every effort put forth by him is being supported. At the Christmas service he delivered a splendid scholarly sermon, "The Second Coming of Christ." At the close of the sermon nearly thirty dollars was given him as a Christmas offering. Then when he was called to Jefferson City to be present at the seating of Walthall Moore in the State Legislature, he was given eight dollars. The attendance at all services is above the average, due to splendid sermons and to the fact that the people have a mind to work. The boom the church is witnessing is not a spontaneous one but is the result of a gradual upward trend. The church was successful in having two splendid young men in the persons of Rev. E. S. Redd former pastor and Rev. J. Lyle Caston the present pastor. The work accomplished and being accomplished by these men will occupy a prominent place in church history. ST.

Little Rock is to entertain the 1921 session of the Sunday School Congress forces, June 8th to 13th. This action was confirmed by the meeting of the Board held in this city today. Five cities were running neck and neck for these honors. They were Muskogee, Okla.; olumbia S. C.; Galveston, Texas; St. Louis, Mo., and Little Rock. It developed that the matter had been before the Board for the third time and that the decision was only reached today. Notices were at once sent to the leaders at Arkansas, conveying the information to them. The secretary of the movement, Rev. Henry A. Boyd, and the Chairman, Dr. C. H. Clark, authorized the announcement and they declared that in all probability there will be no reduced round trip rates for any religious gatherings. They contemplate an increased attendance over last year. It will be remembered that just a year ago this meeting was held in Springfield, Ill., where memorial services were held for the late Abraham Lincoln. More than twenty thousand Sunday Schools and one million five hundred thousand Sunday School workers are effected by this call. NEGRO BAPTISTS TO PUBLISH YEAR BOOK By Associated Negro Press. AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 19. To make an accurate Negro Baptist Year Book, giving a record of what the Three Million Negro Baptist Bains in the more than 18,000 Baptist churches and Sunday Schools are doing, is a stupendous task that has been committed to Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, better known throughout the country as the "Black Billy Sunday" formerly field Evangelist of the National Baptist Convention, one of the most versatile and interesting writers of the day. At the annual session of the National Convention recently held at Columbus Ohio, Dr. McPherson was placed in charge of the Department of Publicity as Director; and for sometime he has been busily engaged in gathering statistics, and other useful data, surveys and general denominational information both National, and from the various states. One of the special features of the Year Book will be the Ministers Official Directory of the National and state convention officials, including foreign missionaries, thus making the book a compendium of useful information. CHURCH CELEBRATES 125TH ANNIVERSARY Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Penna., Jan. 19—The Zoar Methodist Episcopal Church Twelfth and Melon streets, celebrated its 125th anniversary. —Zoar Church is the oldest church for Negroes in the United States. Four properties have been purchased on North street, adjoining the church and the erection of a large community building promise to rival any in the city will be under way before long. The building will have large and modernly equipped library, gymnasium, restrooms, billiard rooms and suitable halls for all forms of entertainment will be installed. In connection with the community building an industrial school where boys and girls may take up the study of trades has been planned. CHURCH GROWS FROM PRAYER MEETING TO $360,000 EDIFICE Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Jan. 13—From a residence prayer meeting organization to an incorporated religious body, worshipping is an edifice valued at $300,000.00 may sound like fiction, but it is the actual story of Pilgrim Baptist Church, Chicago. The congregation has recently purchased the magnificent Jewish Temple, Indiana Avenue and East 23rd street, for a cash consideration of $75,000.00, and the opening week has just closed. Dr. S. E. J. Wagstom, who became pastor of the church only last May is responsible for the success. A number of the leading officers of the church A. B. including Dr. E. C. Morris, of Little Rock, president of the National Baptist Convention; Dr. Jordan, secretary of the foreign missionary board, and Mrs. Layton of the women's division of Philadelphia; together with the leading white Baptist officials of Chicago, ministers of various denominations, business men and public generally assisted in the opening. The building is modern in every particular, has an unexcelled location, and is another strong bit of evidence of what migration is doing in the North. The Periscope By The Negro Associated Press THE SPIRIT OF JUSTICE It is the opinion of the Associated Negro Press that justice is justice wherever it may be found. It is a recognized fact that justice in the South has been sorely tried so far as our group is concerned. But we believe that it is just as much out of place for us to preach justice and then deny it to others, as it is for others to deny it to us. Two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, it is the absolute policy of the Associated Negro Press to give absolute credit to the South when the South deserves it, as in some instances it does. We do not think it just or American to say that the South is all wrong all the dime than it is for the same South to say the Race which we belong to is all wrong all the time. Without necessarily calling any names, "Give the devil his dues." IF CONGRESS TACKLE THE MOB Columbia (S. Car.) state If lynching continues to increase in the United States it is probable that Congress will enact legislation with the aim of trying men guilty of it, in the federal course; which is not saying that such legislation will run the gauntlet successfully of the United States supreme court. The state has more than once pointed out that the neglect of the people of the several states to put an end to lynchings would sooner or later, endanger the right of the state to try and punish its own citizens charged with crimes. The lynching evil will have to cease in this country or its civilization will perish. "A LITTLE BOASTING" Charlotte (N. C.) Observer The Negro population of Winston-Salem is of so much consequence as to develop necessity for a hotel of its own. The Negroes of that town, there fore, have raised among themselves a fund of $100,000.00 with which to provide Winston-Salem with a Negro hotel. This is a distinction of which "the largest city in the State" can afford to make a loud boast, as it is one of the like of which no other town in State can claim. What illusions we live by? For example, whenever anybody says "shoot-in' dice" or "seven, come eleven." We all-think of Negroes and we grin—we see black faces and shiny eyes. Why? Because for generations the newspapers, the comic page and the comic writer have associated dice and Colored people. But I paid a couple of visits to Jau-raza Mexico, where American white people come over to gamble and drink, on absolute equality with "greensers" and "nlggers." And whom do you suppose I saw "rolling the bones" with the greatest fascination and most perfect rest? American white women, in high-heeled shoes and silks. Not a Colored woman in sight and just a few Colored men. But, would you ever suppose so? from what you read in print and picture? How would it look in our comic pages, if after showing those rugged Negro boys on their knees in an alley and those Negro "deacons" and "elders," rolling dice on the floor of that cabin, we should put alongside of them that "American white woman, dressed in the height of fashion, with diamonds on her hands and rubles in her ears, while men of all races stand around and stack their coins, throwing with her jeweled-hand the white dotted amber-colored dice, snapping her fingers like a whip and calling the game?

The white man of today sent of knowledge to maintain supreme the standard of the man. " The unmasking of the workings of the Ku Klux Klan by the modern press and the vigilant citizens during the past few months has been quite gratifying to the thoughtful people of the Nation. The "lofty principles" which were set forth as the object of the organization have been exposed, and the public now sees the real purpose of reviving a band of night riders to "eihforce" the laws of the land. The people of America today are not quite such fools as Col. Wm. J. Simmons and his band think they are. The Negroes know, and the white people know what the Ku Klux Klan is and for what it stands. To be sure, its objects and purposes are shrewdly set forth, playing upon the white man's racial prejudices by clamoring for the maintenance of white supremacy. This is done to fool the public in order to get close enough to do its dirty work to the Negroes. But this clan, with all of its underhand plans and camouflaged propaganda, is receiving many setbacks from not only the people of the North, but the South and the press of the country generally. The statement that this Klan stands for law and order, has been proven false. It is not the shiftless, the lawless, the idle and criminal they are concerned about, because that is the class that is generally found in this order. But on the other hand, it is the thrifty, intelligent and law abiding class of Negroes that the Klan wants. Things incident to the recent world's great war has put a new spirit into the Negro. He sees things differently today to what he did only a few years ago. Democracy! for which two hundred thousand of black men fought, bled and died, is still ringing in our ears. Eight million free-born citizens of America, are beginning to think for themselves. And that is the reason for reviving the Ku Klux Klan. This fogyism is trying to crush the new spirit in the Negro-But, they might as well be trying to stop the Mississippi River. Common sense would teach them that the best they can do would only be temporary. Fifty years ago the Ku Klux Klan served its purpose, but it has no place in modern civilization. The Negroes of today will meet the white-robed wizards of the night with a different spirit to what their lathers met it fifty years ago. The white man of today does not need the assistance of the secret clan which moves under the shadow of night, with sword and gun to kill and terrorize an "inferior group," in order to maintain "white supremacy." The white man of today believes in work and the acquirement of knowledge to maintain supremacy. For after all, the mind is the standard of the man."

They may have news the day after it happens, but they are barbarians. They are not but they and their state of mind are of the United States as the Negro Walter White in the New Republic gives some heretofore unpublished facts about the tragedy at Ocoee, Orange County, Florida, last Election Day. The story given out at the time was that two Negroes named Mose Norman and July Perry had tried to vote when they were not qualified, and on being refused had flourished revolvers; the lynching that followed was thus satisfactorily explained according to certain Southern ideas on the subject. But Mr. White found that the registration books showed that Mose Norman had qualified and registered and was entitled to vote. "He was unpopular with the whites because he was too prosperous—he owned an orange grove for which he had refused offers of $10,000 several times." July Perry was foreman of a large orange grove owned by a Northern white man. "The community felt that the job he had belonged to a white man." So "a nik formed, went out and surrounded the colored settlement, applied kerosine, burned twenty houses, two churches, a schoolhouse, and a judge house." Two members of the mob were killed. Perry was wounded and later lynched. A white citizen of Ocoee boasted that fifty-six Negroes were killed. Among those burned to death were a mother and her two-week-old baby. An eleven-year-old white girl questioned by Mr. White, "told exultingly of the fun we had when some niggers were burned up." The adults were more restrained—they had only "an air of meritorious work well done." Such a picture does not require comment. Probably the same people of the South are just as sickened by it as the rest of us. But there it is. The white people who keep the Negro down by such methods are no more civilized than the governing classes of antiquity, whose similar methods appall the student of history. They may have automobiles and read the world's news the day after it happens, but underneath their modern clothes they are barbarians. They are not the whole South by any means, but they and their state of mind are just as much a problem to the rest of the United States as the Negroes to them.

This conference was established by Reefer T. Washington some thirty years ago when he gathered together at the Institute a small number of Negro farmers of the adjacent counties to discuss farming conditions and to formulate methods of remedying the depolarable situation, as was the case in many laboratories and to promote progressive production and thrift among the farmers. As the years have rolled on, each one has added to the prominence and growth of the Conference until last year more than 2000 farmers, ministers, educators and statesmen met at Tuskegee Institute in attendance to the Twenty-ninth Annual Session. The scope of activities discussed at the Conference has widened in a corresponding manner until it now takes in practically every phase of Negro life and industry, especially of the South.

Just as he reached the porch, Alta seized a gun stood behind the door and shot him through a window, the load striking him squarely in the back. He crawled a few feet to the door and died. The cordict of the coroner's jury was that he came to his death from a gunshot wound from a gun in the hands of Alta Stewart in defense of her own life. Stewart had run off his two older sons by his cruel treatment and it was started by his neighbors and children that his wife's death was caused by his mean treatment to her. The girl that old the killing was in a pitiful plight body, head and limbs scarred and swollen and she couldn't walk without assistance. BOY HELD FOR DEATH OF FATHER Associated Negro Press.

A TESTIMONIAL St. Louis Mo. January 5th, 1920. Baptist's Pharmaral Company, Saint Louis, Missouri. It is with the greatest satisfaction that I extend to you my beaty congratulations, over your excellent product "BAPTISINE". I have used "BAPTISINE" constantly for many antiseptic purposes. I find wonderfully beneficial in relieving a tight cold: small quantities snuffed up the nostrils are immensely soothing and cleansing, and as a pleasant gargle and mouth wash "BAPTISINE" has no equal. I have proved to my own satisfaction that "BAPTISINE" is the best antiseptic that can be bought in any drug store and I shall never be without a large bottle in my bath room. I would recommend "BAPTISINE" to all people who are addicted to sudden colds and chronic or temporary disorders of the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and nostrils. BAPTISINE promptly reaches the seat of trouble, and Doctor Brineat Cols the discounter, deserves the highest praise and commendation. I wish the BAPTISINE PHARMACAL COMPANY the greatest success and prosperity. THE ST.

GEORGIA INTER-RACIAL COMM.ASKED TO CONSIDER REPEALING JIMCROW LAWS Associated Negro Press ATLANTA Ga., Jan. 19—That the committee on interracial relationships, of which prominent state and city officials, judges, ministers of both races philanthropists and social workers, has been asked to consider the question of repealing the Jim Crow laws of Georgia, is reported here on reliable authority. The repeal of these laws would allow both races to ride together without separation on railroad trains, street cars, elevators and other public convenances. It wond do away with Colored peoples coaches on railroad trains, the Colored section on street cars, and elevators for Colored people in office buildings. What action the committee took on the subject, if any, is a matter of speculation. There is one report that some of the highest officials on the committee were in favor of the repeal of the Jim Crow laws. The committee was formed for the purpose of eliminating friction between the races. Its object is to consider complaints as they arise, recognize them, if the people are in the right, and endeavor to reopen, quietly and without publicity, the source of the complaint. One of the forms of race equality upon which leaders of the race are strongly insisting, it is understood, is D. R. King the "discrimination" against members of the race on railroads, street cars, office buildings, elevators, and in hotels restaurants and the theatre. FRIENDS OF IRISH FREEDOM AGAINST KU-KLUX-KLAN Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, JUN. 19.—The following, among the resolutions presented by Judge Daniel F. Cohalan at the meeting of the National Council, Friends of Irish Freedom, in the Hotel Biltmore, were unanimously adopted: "To resist the attempt to organize in the United States a —free country—a revival of the Ku Klux Klan terrorism aimed at the complete political and economic subjection of the Negro race in America. "And be it resolved, that in this work we call upon all Americans of Irish blood to intensify their efforts to strengthen and perpetuate the liberty of our country to the end we may not alone continue to enjoy its blessings, but that through America like liberty may come to Ireland and to all other oppressed lands." SOUTH SENDS OUT NEW PROPAGANDA Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—There is a concerted effort, with more or less suspicious motives, to manufacture sentiment in favor of the southern idea of dealing with "Race problem." The following editorial which has come under the observation of the Associated Negro Press, has appeared without credit lines, in fifty or more daily south newspapers. Each editorials has the same caption as is always the case in similar editorials. The caption of this editorial, "Chicago As A Negro City," <i>I</i> says; "Chicago has carried through its boast that it would double its Negro population in the decade. The increase is 148.5 per cent, as against 21 per cent for the whites. The Negroes have grown proportionately in numbers more than seven times as fast as the whites. Total Negroes in Chicago, 109,594—which carries it above Baltimore and possibly Washington, with New York probably its chief competitor. The changed conditions in this country are shown by the fact that the two cities with the largest Negro population are now in the North—Chicago and New York—and that the next two Baltimore and Washington, are in the so-called "border states" with possibly another Northern city sixth, Philadelphia. The only Southern city which comes anywhere near these is New Orleans, which may show a slight falling off in the number of its Negroes, like the neighboring counties of Louisiana and Mississippi. The result is due to three causes—the fact that many railroads in this section run directly into Chicago, so that it is easy for Negroes from Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee to slip into the Illinois metropolis; secondly, the camp for the Southern Negroes during the war was at Grant, near Chicago; and finally, political influence in Chicago politics. "It will be remembered that immediately after the Civil War some extremists on the race question suggested that a district or territory of the United States be set off as a reservation for the Negroes alone, a sort of American Liberia. Possibly the South side of Chicago could be set aside for this purpose. Its population is almost exclusively Negro and its officals, state and municipal, are of the same race. "Many of these Negro came originally, and only a few years ago, from Louisiana and Mississippi. The effort to win them back to the South has not been at all encouraging. They are being held together by their large numbers and their political favors. The people of Chicago have awakened to the fact that they have a race problem of their own to solve, and very marked differences of opinion have developed among them as to the proper treatment of the question, as the anti-Negro riots of last year showed. Chicago, therefore, has a far kindlier sentiment towards the South in its efforts to solve these "race problems fairly justly and to the advantage of all. PLAN TO SQUEEZE OUT COLORED YARD BRAKEMEN Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, QI., Jan. 19—A controversy, affecting hundreds of Colored yard brakemen on the Norfolk and Western railway, is being argued before the U. S. Railway Labor Board here, between the Association of Colored traimmen, having headquarters in Memphis, and the Brotherhood of Railway Traimmen. The Brotherhood desires a rule adopted which would make it possible for only promotable men being given employment, which would automatically eliminate Colored traimmen, because of color prejudice. J. H. Elland, President, and C. E. Henke, divisional chairman are representing the Association of Colored Railroad traimmen, A. D. Long of Birmingham, is representing Colored, Locomotives, freemen. They are waging a strenuous fight for their respective organizations. The hearing will perhaps last a week longer.
