NEW YORK EDITOR SPEAKS TO COLORED PEOPLE HERE
An Exponent of Truth and Justice
VOL. IX NO. 43
NEW YORK ED TO COLORED
Oswald Garrison Villard Tells His Hearers To Organize As A Matter of Self Protection.
MUST HAVE CONFIDENCE IN LEADERS OF RACE
Should Have Representation In Congress And Other Law Making Bodies of The Land
"Organization, organization, organization," was the subject discussed by Oswald Garrison Villard, at Central Baptist Church, last Sunday afternoon.
The speaker cited many reasons why the Negroes should be "organized for his own benefit. He told how Southern senators had said that the Negroes should have very little education. And said that the open-minded white men of the North understood the race question better than the white people of the South. He said he was sorry for those, who fifty-three years after freedom, still put their trust in politicians.
He said in part; The Negro question is the greatest problem before the American people of today, because it is so inextricably woven into every phase of the American life. Some of the white people of the South say that we of the North do not understand the Negro, nor do we know how he should be treated. I find that social barrier is so wide between the races of the South fostered by prejudice that there can be no fair administration of justice. It really requires one who looks on from the otherside to understand the situation.
"America is the only civilized nation in the world, who lynch and burn human beings. It's a sad indictment, but it is true. The Colored people could do much to change this condition if they would only organize. You must have confidence in your fearless leadership. Just think of what effect it would have on people not only of this nation, but all the civilized world. If the Negroes were to strike, say one day, or two days, in protest against lynchings. It will take organization to do that.
"You people were loyal during the late world war more than any other group. You were drafted without your consent, because you had no one in Congress to represent you. It is quite right and just that you should have a voice in the law-making bodies of this land."
Mr. Villard, who is the grandson of the noted abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison spoke as one of authority on his subject. In an earnest and fearless manner.
The meeting was held under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Dr. John W. Day, pastor of the Unitarian church of this city and president of the association presided.
Dr. E. Combie Smith On Lincoln, At The "Y" Sunday
Dr. E. Comble Smith, the gifted orator-preacher, will deliver an address on "Lincoln" at the Pine Street Department Y. M. C. A. Sunday, Feb. 13 at 4 o'clock. There are two strong reasons why every man in the city should be present.
1. Because the meeting will be in commemoration of the birth of the great emancipator.
2. The speaker is gifted, eloquent and profound. No better man could be secured for the occasion.
Men are being admitted to the Sunday afternoon meetings by ticket now. A season ticket good for the meetings of February and March is issued free to every man upon request at the desk in the lobby.
Get yours and use it and the profit and pleasure will be yours.
THE URBAN LEAGUE BLOCKS SOLICITOR
A few days ago a colored man who claims to represent a school in Tennessee began to solicit funds in St. Louis with which to support the school. He did not "work" many of the small places, but went to the larger business establishments and asked for sums of a $150 or more. His speech was so clear and well balanced that one merchant was almost persuaded to make a contribution, however, he thought it best to have an investigation made, so he advised the man to secure a permit from the Chamber of Commerce.
The latter referred the case to the Urban League. A careful investigation followed and it was discovered that the facts concerning the school did not harmonize with the statements made by the prescriber. No permit, of course, was granted. Consequently the large establishment and all others were moved from donating hundreds of dollars to this unworthy cause.
This is one kind of service the Urban League is transferring to the community, indulgence and business

BOMBING BRIGADE STARTS AGAIN ON CHI. NEGRO HOMES
Two Bombings Occur Within A Week. Families Are Routed By Fire, Lose Everything.
Associated Negro Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 9—The "Bombing Brigade" after a brief season of quietude except for bombing the home of a white real estate man who had sold a piece of Grand Boulevard properly to Colored citizens, has begun its work again.
Within a week, two bombings have occurred. The first was a fire bomb, thrown on top of a four story, 32 suite building, 740 East 15th street, near Cottage Grove avenue. A number of families lost all of their possessions in the fire that followed, and were made homeless. Fortunately no one was injured.
Panic Created
The fire immediately extended from the roof of the apartment of James Robinson, who rescued his wife, sister and mother-in-law from the debris in the apartment before the fire got headway.
Subsequently every family in the building hurried to the street while the fire extended down two stories into the center of the building and meened surrounding buildings with flying sparks.
There were scenes of panic in the hallway following the explosion, inasmuch as the tenants of the house have been ill at ease since the last fire incident and frequent mysterious breaking of windows in the house by missiles thrown from the rear of the building.
Several of the women living in the house required the attention of a physician and all of the bermisters in the hallways were broken.
The latest bombings occurred on 48th place, just off of Great Boulevard when the residence of Robert Jackson a wealthy Colored real estate man was damaged. It is the second time an arson has been bombed.
A special guard has been on duty in the neighborhood for some time and he was just "ringing in" at the station when he saw a girl touring canopy by the place and one of the three occupants threw the big powder bomb. No one was seriously injured, but windows were shattered for two blocks around.
Commenting on the bombing situation in Chicago, one of the prominent citizens remarked: "The bombing of houses in Chicago is an everlasting disgrace to our community and unless some of these potential murderers are caught and sent to the policefront, we are going to have special clashes here more serious than have ever been.
It is unreasonable and the height of folly to imagine that any set of folks can frighten the intelligent Colored people of Chicago from buying property and living where they pitase. If Colored people are able to live in prosperous neighborhoods they should be both encouraged and protected."

SAYS COOLIDGE HAS "SPILLED THE BEANS" AT ATLANTA
In Speech At Southern Tariff Congress Tells Colored People Their Neighbors Are Their Best Friends.
Associated Negro Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. The news has watched Washington, that Vice-president elect Coolidge wedge down to Atlanta and literally "spoiled the begins." The distinguished Massachusetts statesman was one of the chief guests of the Southern Tariff Congress which met in Atlanta last week. One of the features of the program mapped out for him by his host was a meeting at which he spoke to the Colored people of Atlanta.
This meeting was held in the First Congregational Church, Governor Hugh M. Dorsey presided and the cream of the Colored population were out in abundance. Spelman Seminary and Morehouse College provided a musical program "that delighted, the distinguished guest and the auditors as well." Among the things Mr. Coolie said:
"I come from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where there are many people interested in your welfare, who have contribute money without end to the upbuilding of those institutions that you are interested in in order that you might profit by the very best that they have. They have sent among you too, teachers, who have undertaken to help and instruct you in all that is best on this side of paradise; and perhaps you owe to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its citizens something of a debt of gratitude.
"But as great as all that may be, all that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and your friends there have done for you, does not compare with that which the people around you have done for you; and friendly though the people of Massachusetts have been, you have no better friends than those who live about you here and contribute always to your welfare, your success and your happiness. And if you want to make good for the work that has been done by the men and women of Massachusetts, then continue in your well doing; continue to co-operate with the people around you here; continue in your industry, in your work day by day."
"I want, as an American to see you increase in your character to see you progress in your material welfare; to see you continue to exemplify, as you have done the very best there is in the character of men and women, and, in the devotion always—whatever, your temptations may be—that which you have exemplified from time to time to America, to its flag, to its institutious and to its preservation forever.
This was the closing sentence of Mr. Coolidge's speech. At least this is the report of it sent out of Atlanta. From what can be gleaned from the comment of some of the prominent Colored men and women here in Washington, Mr. Coolidge failed utterly to catch any of the present-day spirit of the Colored people in the City of Atlanta, excepting in his particular reference to the matter of "temptations" to be other than Americans. * * * * * * * Things are very quiet here in a general way. It may be the calm before the 'proverbial storm. Nobody seems to have any idea what is going to happen. It may be that this condition of uncertainty is the reason for the disturbing effect of the Coolidge speech.

EDITOR OF CHICAGO
"WHIP" IS CANDIDATE
FOR CITY COUNCIL
Associated Negro Press
CHICAGO, Feb. B—Alderman Louis B. Anderson, who with Robert R. Jackson, represents the famous Second Ward in the City Council of Chicago, is being opposed for the nomination this month by Williams C. Lafon, one of the editors of the Chicago Whip.
Alderman Anderson is the acknowledged "four leader" for William Hale Thompson, Mayor, and is regarded as one of the strongest men in the council. He has recently been placed on the powerful finance committee, a coveted privilege of all legislative bodies, and a stepping stone to higher things.
Editor Liaton is according to his statement, "making the fight for the common people." In the Third Ward which now has the second largest Colored population and is now represented by a white siderman. Dr. William F. Garnett, one of the leading dentists of the city, without reference to race, is a candidate for siderman. His backers claim he has a "fighting chance."

Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, manager and chairman of the Field Corps, N. L. A. & A. C. L. who has been here since Feb. 3. C. L. will conduct a series of meetings at Douglass Hall, Beaumont and Lawton during next week.
Everybody is welcomed at the these meetings.
THE 17TH WARD REPUBLICAN WARD
THE 17TH WARD REPUBLICAN WARD
At a meeting of the Seventeenth Ward Republican Club last Monday night at Pythian Hall, the following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS: The Seventeenth Ward Republican Club raters its opposition to frandulent elections which have not been condensed to the Seventeenth Ward, nor to a single faction within the Republican party in St. Louis, as disclosed by recent grand jury indictments; and
WHEREAS: The Seventeenth Ward Republican Club denounces in principle now, as it always has, machine boss rule in any form, regardless of the personnel of the boss or the beneficiary, through which corrupt practice the vote of entire wards including the Seventeenth has already been promised in the approaching primary; and
WHEREAS: The Seventeenth Ward Republican Club is not opposed to party organization but on the contrary believes in intense political organization and educational publicity that will bring to the polls, particularly in the primary, a full vote intelligently cast and honestly counted. Therefore, be it
RESOLVED: That the Seventeenth Ward Republican Club does not endorse any attempt of candidates to escape political obligations that should be imposed upon them through reiterated declaration of freedom from such obligations, although at the same time soliciting and relying for success upon the work of those to whom they declare they will be under no obligations provided they are elected. All public officials owe in addition to the duty of faithful public service, loyalty to the party, which nominates and vouchers for them and the paramount duty of faithful recognition to friends and allies within the party, through whose support they achieved political success. The man who attempts after election to evade these just obligations is an ingrate.
RESOLVED: That the Seventeenth Ward Republican Club will favor candidates in the primary that measure up to these standards and if such candidates are successful will demand after election in return for such support its proper share of political recognition. The club will demand of such administration when elected service for the people of the ward, such requirements arise from time to time. It will demand that such administration aid this club in its movement for honest primaries and elections. It will demand that the leaders of this movement be supported by such administration, that the purpose of the club may be accomplished.
RESOLVED: That the Chairman of the Precinct Organization of the Seventeenth Ward Republican Club is hereby instructed and authorized to appoint a committee to make investigation of the attitude of all candidates for Mayor and Alderman toward the objects of this club as set out in these resolutions, and that such committee make report at a meeting of the club to be held at a date after February 28, the last day allowed by law for candidates to file.
REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE SOUTH IS TO BE RECOGNIZED
Leaders Want To Spread Republican Gospel. But Negroes Are Anxious About Status Down There.
The Associated Negro Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 9. The Republican party in the South is to be recognized. Chairman W. H. Hays of the Republican National Committee has announced the personnel of the Committee, in accordance with resolutions passed at the last National Convention in Chicago.
"A complete reconstruction in that region" has been announced by a statement issued from the headquarters of the committee in Washington. The committee consisted of Representative Bascom Slemp, Virginia; Earl Kinsley, national committeeman, Vermont; R. B. Howell, national committeeman, Nebraska; Will H. Hays, ex officio chairman, Clarence B. Miller, ex-officio secretary.
The Associated Negro Press is following very closely the aims and purposes of political organizations in the South. Immediately following the November election a series of articles was carried on the subject by Major John H. Lynch, former congressman from Mississippi an a former temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention.
Colored Americans throughout the United States are deeply concerned in the experiment the Republican party is about to make. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican committeeman from Georgia, has assured the Associated Negro. Press that no move will be made by the party that will not take into full consideration equal citizenship of all Negro citizens.
It can be stated on the highest authority, that President elect Harding, Chairman Will Hays, Harry M. Daugherty, one of the closest advisers of the president and other leaders, strong favor Negro suffrage justice. On the other hand, they are thoroughly in earnest about spreading Republican gospel among the whites of the South. There are a number of Negro leaders who look with suspicion on any effort to gity Southern whites with the Republican party. On the question of Negroes voting there is no absolutely "fair" section of the South. These tests were brought our plainly in the recent hearing before the Census committee in Washington. Southern white people have an eternal fear and dread of "Negro Political Domination." They say it will never be, because they claim they will never let the time come again when the Negro will be allowed to vote freely.
Thoughtful people, however, in this "fluid state of civilization," to quote one of the utterances of the President, e-mail well full that 15,000,000 American Negroes can never be expected to forever submit to disfranchisement and chalcopyry in elections. This great group of Americans had come to the places where without fear and with-unquenchable determination for justice, they are matching brains with brains and wealth with wealth in working out political problems. They are playing the political game for position in order to obtain power in order to granted justice. The program is thorough and definite, and it is succeeding. It will hardly be expected North, East, South and West, that the Republican party will endeavor to "pull" anything and get away with it. American Negroes are "hip" on all the present day tricks of the political game, and all the political "signs of the times."

RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 31—Members of the sophomore class of the Medical College Virginia have adopted a petition calling for an injunction by the College Governance Board of remarks alleged to have been made in a lecture last month by Dr. Margaret Hoskins, associate professor of histology and embryology, who came here last fall from the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Hoskins hold a Ph. D. from Yale and a B. A. from Bryn Mawr. She is accused by the students of having advocated race intermarriage. They demand an apology.
According to Dr. E. C. L. Miller, dean of the college, following his inquiry last month. Dr. Hoskins was emphasizing in a lecture the importance of considering the individual and not the race, saying an intellectual and highly cultivated Negro was to be preferred in marriage to an inferior type of white man. She is alleged to have expressed surprise all Southern States forbid by statute any form of race intermarriage.

Lloyd For Alderman Movement Growing
J. H. H.
From the Seventeenth Ward
There has been much activity on the part of those interested in A. W. Lloyd's candidacy for the Board of Aldermen during the past week.
The Twenty-Second Ward
Last Monday night a Lloyd for Alderman Club was organized at Asbury Church, Goode and St. Ferdinand avenues. About fifty persons were present. Dr. J. E. Hurt, president; Rev. W. W. Goff, secretary; R. E. Harris, presided. The club meets every Monday night at the above church.
The Negroes of the city are quite jubilant over the present outlook. There seems to be more unity and concerted action on Lloyd than has ever been demonstrated before among the Race in St. Louis. Ernest Patillo, president of the General committee of the Lloyd for Alderman club, stated that the Negroes of the city were a unit in their efforts to have representation in the Board of Aldermen.

FRATERNAL LEADER
ASSASINATED BY AN
ARIZONA WHITE MAN
Associated Negro Press
Associated Negro Press
PHOENIX, Ariz. Feb. 9.—Harry Lyles, illustrious potentate of the Colored Shrimmers of Arizona, was shot and killed Tuesday night by an unknown assassin. He was returning from work, but the local telephone office where he has been employed for the past ten years. He was shot without warning and died thirty minutes later, without being able to give a description of his assailant other than to say he was a white man.
Eighteen hundred dollars in reward have been offered for the arrest of the criminal. Five hundred dollars by his employer, C. H. MeVey, manager of the Mountain States Telephone Company and $300 by Rev. T. J. Sanford, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of which, Lyles was a member. Lyles was one of the most prominent and popular Colored men in Arizona.
A delegation of fifty members of the K. K. M. Republican Club gathered in the office of city collector Edmond Koeln and presented him with a miniature ship, last Saturday, in appreciation of his efforts to have Negroes appointed uniformed policemen and firemen. One of them consumed by Ervin Wheeler, Jr. son of Ervin F. Wheeler, Deputy Marshall, in the construction of the "steamer," the cost of which is said to have been $300. The ship has miniature figures of Negroes in the uniform of policemen and firemen, standing on the deck of the ship performing their respective duties, and also a miniature figure of Koeln as admiral of the ship. The presentation speech was made by Ervin Wheeler, President of the K. K. M. club and leader of the delegation. Wheeler in addressing the city collector and successful leader of the "house cleaners," said, "Our purpose here today is not only to convey to you the sincere appreciation that may be found in the hearts of a grateful word but to give the ugly word "lie" to the erroneous statement of our enemies to the effect that soon forget their friends.

REV.B.F. ABBOTT FAVORS LLOYD FOR ALDERMAN
Says It Is A Concrete Example. Urges Men And Women To Take Part In Politics As A Civic Duty. He Will Not Support Kiel Reelection In The Primaries
"Wherefore, you have not fulfilled your task." was the text by Rev. B. F. Abbott, pastor, Union Memorial M. E. Church, last Sunday morning, when he took the occasion to call attention to his audience the great responsibility to his audience the great responsibility of this land. After a brief review of the 4th chapter of Genesis, which dealt with the return of Moses to Egypt, and the deliverance of the children of Israel, Rev. Abbott said, "We need strong leadership today as never before. God has always been on the side of the oppressed. In His wisdom He is working wonderful things for us. But we have a duty to perform."
"When Abraham Lincoln struck the shackles from our feet, it was up to us to walk. Two generations have passed since we were set free, it is now our move. Who knows but that God has set Walthall Moore in the Fifty-first General Assembly of this State that my people may be emancipated from ignorance and superstition. I tell you he has a great program. Moore has asked for a million dollars for a university to educate my boy and girl the same as the white boy and girl. I doubt whether we could find a white man who would be 'willing to take the chance to ask for that much at one time for the Negro youth. We must get solidly behind Mr. Moore. Moses led the way, but the people had to follow in order to get out of bondage. Moore is leading the way.
Take Our Place in Civil Life
"We must be up and doing, ready to take our place in the civil life of the city—patriot." You please. We are now facing the Spring election. Nearly seventy thousand Negroes without a voice in the law-making body of this city. I was glad to hear how Walthall Moore defended the Negroes the other day in defending the bill to put the gamblers out of business. So you see, we need a man on the inside. I shall never be satisfied until we have a voice in the law-making body of the city.
"We want a man as a member of the Board of Aldermen of this city as a matter of right and justice. Aaron W. Lord happens to be the man who has filed, I beg of you to work and vote for him in the coming election.
Will Not Support Kiel
"I am not going to support Kiel for Mayor because he is tied too tight to a gang of thieves. He knows how we have been beaten and robbed here, and so far as I know, he has not raised his voice or finger against it. I stand for clean, honest elections, so I have no choice except to oppose Kiel."
Here Rev. Mr. Abbott told how he had spent a deal of time in the courts of this city since the election, trying to help clean up crooked politics, and said it was not all over.
It will be remembered that of the ten precincts investigated by the grand jury where indictments were returned, all the judges and clerks were indicted except the Rev. Mr. Abbott, who stood to the last for honest elections.

Must we always make less money and yet pay more than the other fellow for the same things?
I wonder if our own Real Estate companies will deal more fairly with us? At any rate I would advise our people to try our own first, and if we must be fleeced, let us be fleeced by our own race, and we will have the consolation of knowing that we are helping our own business men to rise.

as shown in The St. Louis Real Estate Bulletin of Jan. 29th.
The Oregon E. and R. G. Scott of 800 Chestnut street in advertising houses for sale, have shown the same contrast in justice that our courts have shown.
On Page 5 in the issue referred to, this Real Estate company advertises a house for sale to white people at 4611 Enright avenue for $5500.
And in the next column, they advertise the same house to colored people for $5750.
So we ask, why this contrast in the price of the same house?
Must we always make less money and yet pay more than the other fellow for the same things?
I wonder if our own Real Estate companies will deal more fairly with us? At any rate I would advise our people to try our own first, and if we must be fleeced, let us be fleeced by our own race, and we will have the consolation of knowing that we are helping our own business men to rise.

"Ye Old Time Graveyard-
Its Common End, And
Why.?
Many Of The Older Cemeteries
Graveyards—Are In A Sad State
Of Neglect.
Few, If Any, Were Provided By Their Founders In An Adequate Way For Their Future Preservation And In Some Cases Were Established In Direct Line With The Growth Of The City.
Many Were Left To Time And Chance Or To The Uncertain Disposition Of Later Generations With The Inevitable Result That They Fell Into Neglect And Decay.
The Longer They Existed The Worse They Got And In Our City The Present Generation Has Witnessed the Destruction Of Several Of Its Earlier Cemeteries And The Doom Of Others Is Forcished.
Experience Has Shown That The Destruction Is Not Alone Due To Badly Chosen Sites. But Is In Most Cases Caused By The Failure To Properly Provide The Funds Necessary For Its Upkeep.
The Founders Of Washington Park. Prodigy By This Sad Experience. Have Selected A Site So Located And With Surroundings Of Such Character As Would In Themselves Insure Permanence And Have Provided An Ample Endowment Fund, Properly Safeguarded, For The Care And Preservation Of The Grounds And The Graves Therea. So That Washington Park Will Remain For All Time A Beautiful Place Of Public Veneration And Interest Sacred To The Memory Of The Dead Forever.
Prospective Let Buyers Will Be Taken To The Grounds By Automobile Free Of Charge. Make Appointment Through The Office.

Olive Thomas in "Everybody's Sweetheart"
Be sure and see the lamented Olive Thomas for the last time on the screen.
Also Geo. B. Seltz in "VELVET FINGERS"
in "Homer Comes Home!" will be featured at The Pandleton Theatre this Sunday. The show about a small town neer-do-well who goes the city and becomes a clerk in a big establishment. Returning to his home town on a vacation, he so overawes the natives with his display of seeming wealth and importance that they fall for a big financial scheme of his that wins him a fortune and the girl.
On Monday and Tuesday, Wm S. Hart, will be seen in "The Testing Block." This is a thrilling story of a bandit chief in the early days of California, who fights valiantly for his "darling Nelly Gray," and whose love story is of the superman variety. This story was written by the artist and it is as virile as the character of the outlaw he portrays. Heartfelt Novak is the leading woman and little Richard Heardrick whom you doubtless saw in "The Toll Gate" is in the cast.
On Thursday and Friday, Tom Mix will be shown in 'Prairie Trails' It is the story of the inward conflict that takes place when Tex Benton, lover of the manly life and despairer of womanish manners and customs, falls in love. While one side of his nature cries out for the companionship and love of Janet McWhorter, the other side years for battle and sacrifice and all manly thugs.

Ubber Board
The Usher Board, former financial leader of Lane Taboracle, but, recently curbed by the Good Samaritan Trial Wage, will now take their reflective place at the bottom of the list, possibly the siden realization that it was possible for them to be beaten in a contest must have undoubtedly went hard with the entire Usher Board. But the schools have bullied us long enough, and we are glad to say farewell to them as financial leaders. Mr. Sam Yates has made a Good Class Leader, and we admire him, but we also say farewell to his class as Friday night leaders, as it was compared of ushers excavatedly. There are so many well organized clubs in Lane Taboracle now that it will be a long time before the ushers win again. Thanks to the Good Samaritan Club for giving the Usher Board and The Carter Club a gracious lucking, again we say farewell, indies and gentlemen, lasses and knights of the Usher Board, indeed we take great pleasure in bidding you adieu.

In spite of the erroneous report circulated to hinder and impede the progress of this promising mission, the work continues to go on. Rev.

Parrish though pastoring a mission charge is well prepared and fully able to entertain the largest congregations. The officers and members take pleasure in inviting the public to hear their pastor.
