Outlines For United Support Of NO LONGER A CURIOSITY Special to The Argus: COLUMBIA. Mo., Feb. 12. What was called the Lincoln-Douglass-Moore celebration was held in this city last night at McKinney's hall on Broadway. This was the largest gathering ever seen at the hall. Not only was every available space occupied but many were turned away being unable to get to the doors. The attraction of the occasion was the presence of the Hon. Waltshall M. Moore of St. Louis, representative in the Fifty-first General Assembly of the Missouri Legislature. Mr. Moore was on the program to deliver the principal address of a Lincoln-Douglass celebration, but in a few introductory remarks. Rev. J. L. Caston said that in as much as Mr. Moore had made good as a legislator, all Missourians due him honor, the occasion would be known as a Lincoln-Douglas-Moore celebration. Long before eight o'clock the hall was crowded, despite the fact that rain and snow threatened to make it quite uncomfortable for those who ventured from their homes. Great Ovation At 8:45 p. m. Mr. Moore entered the hall, accompanied by Rev. J. L. Caston, pastor of the Broadway Baptist church. Prof. J. E. Jones, principal of Douglass High School of Columbia and J. E. Mitchell, editor. St. Louis Argus. The vast crowd went wild, giving Mr. Moore a roaring ovation, while the high school band played, "My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." In carrying out the program, J. P. Washington spoke on Lincoln the enunciator and J. E. Mitchell spoke on Douglass who could not be made a slave. Rev. Caston introduced Prof. S. L. Burlong who introduced the speaker of the evening. Prof. Burlong said he was glad to have the high privilege of introducing a man, a sitting member of the recent Missouri Legislature, who feels as we feel, thinks as we think, and one of us. "We are fortunate in having elected Mr. Moore, not only for what he will do for our particular group, but for what he will do for all the people of the State," he said. "Lincoln, Douglass, Moore, three great men, and it is my great pleasure to introduce to you tonight Mr. Moore, who will speak to you." Moore's Address When Mr. Moore arose to speak, it was several minutes before the order was restored owing to the continuous applause. He began by saying that he had prepared a swee on Lincoln, but because of other instructions, he had decided the best thing for him to do, was to tell them what their representative was, and intend doing for them. This statement met with hearty approval. The people of Columbia seemed profoundly impressed with Mr. Moore's leadership and the reception given him shows that they are ready to follow. During his address, Mr. Moore said in part: "Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate this demonstration of loyalty shown men on your part on this occasion. I am happy to be here, and I owe a debt of gratitude to my friend, Rev. Mr. Caston and those of you who have made this meeting possible. You say I am your representative, for which I am proud, but I also represent the Sixth Missouri Legislature District, which is one of the wealthiest districts in this great State. I am no longer a curritality in your legislative hall, but I have endeavored to take my piece as a man. The Republican party of Missouri is committed to a progressive program, and I am doing my best to help them put it over. As you no doubt know that I am percipally interested in the education for the Negroes of the State, and to that end I have introduced a bill in legislature to make Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City a university. The bill calls for an appropriation of a million dollars which, if it becomes a law will give your boys and your girls an opportunity to get an education in this State the same as the white boys and girls enjoy right here in your city. I know you are with me (great apause). Well, stand by me then. We must cooperate together. Hight here in Columbia, the seat of learning of this State, every nationality on the face of the globe may come here and enter the Missouri University whether they be aliens, taxpayers or citizens. The Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Mexicans, dages, or what nots all except the Negro can enter and learn. This is a bad condition, when you really think of it. "We are a great race of people if we only knew it. We have only to refer to history to prove this statement." Here Mr. Moore told a bit of history backup up to the Louisiana Purchase, in which Missouri was a part. And cited the genius and general ship of Toussaint L'Overture, the great warrior, who stopped Napoleon's army, which made possible the Louisiana Purchase. "Our cause is right and as Frederick Dugess once said, 'night and God is a supporter.' There have been many changes in this country during the last few years. Who but knows that it is God's purpose and his hand that is directing the affairs of men. Right and hardy must prevail." After the meeting the people were given an opportunity to slake Mr. Moore's hands, which was three adrenaline of the handsome both old and new. The St. Louis Argus SAYS SOUTHERNERS "HYPNOTIZED" COOLIDGE Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill., Feb. 16.—Vice-president elect, Calvin Coolidge, according to authentic reports, felt a chill go up his spine when the statement he made about white Southerners being the best friends of the Negroes, was met with rigid and frigid indifference. The psychology of this notable event is very peculiar, and is no worthy of explanation. There is no American who has been more admired for his honesty of purpose and fearlessness in the cause of justice, than Governor Coolidge, so far as Colored Americans are concerned. The silence of that great Atlanta audience was not scorn, hatred, nor indifference. The silence was due to disappointment, pity and thoughtlessness, all the records go to prove that ninety-nine out of every one-hundred Northern white people who go South, and come under the hypnotical influences of the crafty Southerners, who cleverly and designedly seek to impress their point of view on the visitor, come away "sold." The Associated Negro Press could emmere hundreds of instances, and there is in mind the case of a nationally prominent white editor who but recently was there, and who was brought under the same influence, but refused to be "sold." How delighted the white South is over compromising statements like Governor Coolidge made is expressed typically in an editorial from the Charlotte, N. C. Observer, daily. It says: "The day before he departed from Atlanta for Asheville, Vice-president Coolidge was invited to make an address in a Negro church. The invitation was accepted and the visitor delivered himself of a pointed list of advice. He told the Negroes "that the white people of the North have done much in money and educators sent them," but the people of the South have done even more than that. He advised the Negroes to bear this fact in mind and to "appreciate the work of their white neighbors in the South belt." Doug that and making "constituents effort on their own part to better their condition," was Mr. Coolidge's idea of the best thing for the Negroes of the South. The Vice-President elect appears to have a fine sense of the opportunity at hand to say something of real benefit to the Negroes, and now that they have had this advice from a man they know must be their friend, they should be inclined to give it serious thought. Mr. Coolidge's words were few but they encompassed a mighty truth." President-elect Harding has come under that same influence, but he has made thus far, no break that would indicate that he has been "sold," about 15,000,000 American Colored people have been nervously watching every turn up the bends of the Indian river so to speak. Those who know President elect Harding best, and their name is legend, give the most earnest assurance that he will countenance no unfair advantages. As an editor and United States senator, Mr. Harding is a well informed man on American problems. Senator Harding is no stranger to the South for years before he was a senator and spent his winters in Florida.... The Coolidge incident shows that American Colored people are not being carried away with hounded words, regardless of the source, and that they have their own ideas about "best friends," and why such should be entitled to that applause. LOUISIANA AND GEORGIA MOBS LYNCH NEGROES PLAQUEMINE. La., Feb. 15. — George Werner, Negro, who is alleged to have shot and dangerously wounded Numa Tircuit, rice plantain, and tomato from the parish jail at Port Allen by a group of "unidentified" whites men and hanged to a sign post near the scene of the shooting.

WHITE MAN IS GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDERING COLORED GIRL SWEETHEART The Associated Negro Press AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 16—Glome Fontane, a young white man was put on trial here, charged with murder, and was convicted, with a recommendation to mercy, and was sentenced by Judge John D. Humphray of Atlanta to imprisonment for life. Fontane, a young age, shot and killed a young Colored woman of whom he was jealous, then turned the weapon on himself, wounding himself severely, it is said. However, he was recovered from his hurts. On trial he denied the killing. There was no eye witness to the murder which took place in the bedroom of Fontane's name. Judge Humphray and Judge Henry C. Connellman jury Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1921 CHILD OF WHITE PARENTS BARRED FROM A SCHOOL Baltimore Physician Says Boy Has Negro Blood and Judge Asks Family To Move Into Pennsylvania WhereSchoolsAre Mixed, FREDERICK, Md., Feb. 16 — A Jurenile Court case, developing an unusual situation, is being held under consideration by Judge Glenn H. Worthington. The proceedings grew out of the arrest of Charles Ridge, living near Emmitsburg, charged with permitting his son, Stanley Washington Ridge, 12 years old, to remain away from school. County Truant Officer Frank Harshman reported the boy as an habitual absentee from school, and Mr. and Mrs. Ridge and their son and daughter, the latter about 14 years old, were summoned before the court. It was learned that the teacher had refused to accept the lad as a pupil, whereupon his sister declared that if her brother was dismissed she would also leave. The main point of the case centered upon the eligibility of the lad to attend a school for white children. His dark complexion, black eyes and straight hair contrasted to the fair complexion blue eyes and light hair of the girl. Mr. and Mrs. Ridge declared emphatically that the lad was their offspring and added that they would never send him to any school except for white children. Several physicians gave the lad a thorough examination. All agreed that he was not of pure white blood. After hearing the opinion of the physicians in regard to the blood strain of the lad, Judge Worthington suggested that the family remove across the state line into Pennsylvania where "mixed" schools exists. Mrs. Ridge replied that she would not consider such a proposition, as she paid taxes in this state, and county and was entitled to public school privileges. Judge Worthington decided to hold the case under consideration until he could confer with the county school authorities. County School Superintendent Palmer said tonight the boy would not be admitted to the white schools. Pittsburg Courler. ACCEPTS BLOOD TEST TO PROVE PARENTAGE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 16 — A blood test to determine if Paul Vittori is the father of Virginia Vittori was accepted by the court here today in an action to compel Vittori to support the child. He had disclaimed parentage. His wife's attorney said that a blood test would prove parentage. Dr. Albert Abrams, professor of pathology at Stanford University, made the test. He decided that parentage of the father was proved when blood specimens from man and child vibrated in unison. The court ordered Vittori to support the baby. WM. H. DORSEY, RETIRED LETTER CARRIER DIES Wam. H. Dorscy, 64 years of age died at City Hospital No. 2. Tuesday after being found unconscious on the street by the police Monday. He had been absent from the home of his son, Ia Dorsey, 1016 N. Leffigswell, since last Saturday. Mr. Dorscy was born at Wheeling, W. Va., Dec. 1, 1846 and came to St. Louis in 1866. He worked at the barber trade until the early 70's when he opened a laundry employing 25 persons, and later conducted a dry goods and shoe store. He was the oldest communicant in All Saints Church being in the first class of 1874. Mr. Dorsey entered the Post Office service in 1880 and for forty years was a faithful carrier. He was retired on a pension in August 1920. It is thought that the retirement from service greatly affected his mind as he was already ready to be on the go. The funeral service will be held at All Saints Church, Garrison and Locust, Saturday at 10 a. m. WHITES AS WELL AS COLORED ARE BEING "BOMBED" IN CHICAGO The Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Feb. 16—"It happened in Chicago." That was the universal statement following the "Chicago riot" It is being used in a different sense today. For more than three years, at uncertain periodical times, there has been bombings of properties owned and occupied by Colored citizens. There have been protests, and an occasional bombing of a white, and permutory investigations by police, but with no tangible results. Recently there has been an epidemic of bombing of property occupied by whites as well as that occupied by the "American Brunettes." There has been more, a very disagreeable series of "odor bombs" have been thrown in various movie theaters frequented by whites, and lit at least one department store. Of course an "odor bomb" has more "danger" than a dynamic bomb, and consequently, all of the forces of law in the community, city, country and federal are uneasy of bombers. There have been more than six dynamic bombings of white residences and apartment houses in the last month Representative Adelbert H. Roberts has introduced a bill in the Illinois legislature making bombing a crime which there may be attached a penalty of from five years to life. There will be many bombs found in Chicago. ONE HUNDRED RACE WOMEN MEET AT WASHINGTON ONE HUNDRED RACE WOMEN MEET AT WASHINGTON Present Memorial Deploring Action of Southerners In Distranchisement Of Colored Women. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Spokesman (Special to The Argus) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 16. — A delegation of one hundred colored women from all sections of the country assembled in Washington to bring the cause of the disfranchised women of the south before the coming Convention of the National Woman's Party. In presenting their request that the National Woman's Party commit itself definitely to asking that Congress appoint a special committee to investigate the disfranchisement of women in violation of the 19th Amendment in the southern states, this delegation waited upon Miss Alice Paul at the Headquarters of the National Woman's Party on February 12th. Representing, as these women do, organizations from all parts of this country, the Memorial they presented must be given consideration by the National Woman's Party if all of the principles upon which the 19th Amendment to the Constitution is based are to be enforced. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made the call for the meeting of this delegation and the delegates were organized by Mrs. Addle W. Hunton, Field Secretary of this Association. The Memorial was presented by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, spokesman for the delegation. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE BY THE N.A.A.C.P.

LABOR BOARD DISCRIMINATION TAKEN UP BY THE R. R. LABOR BOARD Demand Made That National Agreement Be Abrogated Where It Prevents The Colored Employes From Advancing With Whites. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—A strong concerted effort was made before the United States R. R. Labor Board at Chicago in the interest of the Colored railway employees, recently. Discriminatory contracts and misapplied seniority rules were vigorously assailed by the representatives of our Race organizations in the person of R. R. Mays of the Railway Men's International Association. Osle Long of Birmingham of the National Order of Locomotive Firemen and President John H. Elaud of Memphis, Tenn., of the Association of Colored Tractionmen. Each organization was in support of a demand for an abrogation of the same prevented the craft advancement of Colored men and women in railway service. The cases at present were the result of a conference between the Colored leaders who were in daily attendance at the session of the Board and who had been given full rights to appear and present evidence on the matter of rules and working conditions of the railway employees. The representatives were accorded the unusual honor of being openly compilated by certain members of the Board and many of the able attorneys and spectators present at the hearing. President Mays virtually placed Mr. Forrester of the Board on the witness stand and proved thief the white organizations were discriminatory by a speech Mr. Forrester had made while at Atlantic City in 1919, after Mr. Forrester had sought to establish as a fact that the white shop unions were fair. The plea made by all organizations was for "open opportunity" irrespective of race or color. Rules which would grant a square deal to all railroad men were read into the official proceedings and made a part of the record.

HOW WOMAN PROFESSOR COMPARED INTELLIGENT NEGROES TO THE WHITES HOW WOMAN PROFESSOR COMPARED INTELLIGENT NEGROES TO THE WHITES By Associated Negro Press. PITT'S PURGH, Pa. Feb. 16.—What is superiority? Is it a matter of color? A woman professor in an Eastern school thinks not, and she proceeded to tell her class, and The Leader comments most interestingly on her point of view and what happened following her expression: "She said, 'that a physically perfect, well educated, intelligent Negro, of sterling moral character, undoubtedly is superior to a physically imperfect, unintelligent, uneducated, low-moraled white man. This by way of emphasis of her biological point that the claims of the individual, plant or animal, cannot be submerged or lost in the claims of the mass, whether plant species or human races. The point she stressed was that the question in such cases is not of the race in its totality, but individual specimens of the race." "This was not in Mississippi county, Arkansas, but the large medical college in a large and by courtesy, intelligent, educated and civilized city of the Atlantic seaboard. It might be supposed that medical students concerned exclusively with study of biological factors would listen to such a verbal illustration and grasp its purpose and point. It might be supposed that medical students would have intelligence enough to seize the essentials of this illustration—merely to drive the scientific point—and make it available to more advanced knowledge and thought." "The supposition would be wrong—all wrong. The class—sophomore in name could not at first believe it had heard the professor right. But the more her words were recalled and pondered the more continued the students because that they had been membered correctly a good Negro in better than a bad white man. The students held a meeting. They closed they could not in justice to themselves listen to any more instructions of that kind. They protested. They demanded that the graduate professor retract the teaching, apologize in the DR. GEO. E.

CLUB At a meeting at Tabernacle Baptist Church, last Wednesday night, the Negroes voted to have nothing to do with the Citizens Republican Club, which was styled as a "Lily White" organization. Many of the speakers told the representatives of the Club that the Negroes would have nothing to do with any organization which did not give the race direct representation. And said that the fight that the Negroes were making was for direct representation, and that they would refuse to be "delivered" by any man or set of men; but were willing to work with any organization when admitted on equal footing and representative basis. The speakers assured the committee that the Negroes had no ill feelings toward the Club, but inasmuch as white men had been appointed to handle the work of the Club in "Negro Wards" there was nothing left for the Negroes to do, but let the club alone.

The man, believed to have come here from Houston, died without regaining consciousness. Evidence that coal oil had been poured on his body was found and a smouldering fire near by indicated the man had been thrown on it. Tattoo marks, "W. L." and the name of "L. Coleman, a Houson-firm, in the hat band, were the only marks of identification. Some think the Ku Kluk committed the deed. GEORGIA TRYING TO GET A NEGRO SENT BACK FROM INDIANA Associated Negro Press SYLSTERE Ga., Feb. 15—A resolution addressed to Gur. Mcray of Indiana, pledging every protection and impartial trial for Marc Glidene hold in Indiana for the officer of deputy sheriff of the city was adopted here by a city meeting. Governor Clay had sent a representative, W. A. Guthrie, to the county to investigate conditions before acting on extradition application in the case. Guthrie was given a copy of the resolution to carry back to the governor. Attorneys for Glddena in Indiana, opposed extradition on the plea that he would be in danger of trach law if sent back. The citizens of Georgia are anxious to have Glddena returned, but it is said the solution in Indiana is that even if the Fledgedan is allowing truth A Square Deal For Every Man PRICE 5 CENTS Minister Says The Time Is Ripe For Such Movement And Will Be Candidate If People So Desire Him To Enter The Race.

Has Almost Solid Backing Of His Race Since the announcement in the daily papers that Dr. Geo. E. Stevens would probably be a candidate for membership on the School Board at the Spring election, many industries have been received at the Argus office as to the authenticity of the statement. When seen by an Argus reporter, Dr. Stevens stated that he knew nothing of the circulation of a petition in his behalf that says he is willing to serve if made to know he is the choice of his people. Further investigation shows that there is a growing sentiment among the Negroes in favor of Dr. Stevens. It being argued that he is cunningly fitted and qualified to fill the place, bread in his views and democratic ideas. So for as has been learned, there is no opposition to Dr. Stevens for the place, among the Negroes. Dr. Stevens was educated at Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, where he received the degree of A. B., and S. T. B. He has been in the ministry, 35 years, serving as pastor at Syracuse, N. Y., 12 years; Boston, five years, and the last 18 years in this city. He is pastor of Central Baptist Church, which has more than 1800 members. DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S CHARGE AGAINST GEORGIA STIRS UP WHITE PAPERS Associated Negro Press ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 16—Hooper Alexander, United States District Attorney for the northern district of Georgia, has stirred the entire state, and attracted the attention of the nation. He has recently been making a series of statements in language that can not be misunderstood, deploring and denouncing the law- lessness in certain sections of Georgia. Because of these statements, regardless of the fact that they are filled with truth, a number of newspapers of the South have taken Mr. Alexander to task. They have accused him of playing to get favor with the Republicans, so as to retrain his office. He has come back with a statement that the position is not "hereditary" as money goes these days, and that he has only withheld his resignation for the last year through loyalty. He retorts with the statement that if those who criticize him will "let me tell them a few of the things that are going on, they also would be horrified, and instead of throwing the weight of their paper in favor of the disgraceful things that are going on, unwhipped of justice, they would join in my protest." The Macon News, daily, comes back with a reply, which plainly shows that there are sections of the white South where it is not desired that the truth be known, regardless of how horrible conditions may be, there are those who wish to shut their eyes to the terrible lawlessness, and even when a brave official and respected white citizen like District Attorney Alexander comes to the front, they wish to riot, "cotton in his mouth." After paying this high tribute to Mr. Alexander: "Mr. Alexander holds an, high office and when he speaks, a great deal of importance is attached to what he says. He is a man of culture and intelligence. He does not belong to the 'radical school.'" The Macon News makes this wall: "If Mr. Alexander could have seen the two column headlines on the front page of the New York Tribune which featured the publication of the story in New York City, he would have rather had a different idea, and it was just such a course which led to the comments made in the Macon News. The New York Tribune has many merits, but it is one of the most virulent and unreasonable critics of the South we have in this day and time. It has a tradition behind it which makes it the principal liar of the old-time abolitionists and it never overlooks an opportunity to lambaste the South. "There are several other such papers in the North. There is The Boston Transcript, for example, which has not written a line-that was fair and just to the South for a generation. It still lives in the days of Uncle Tom's Cabin. It wakes up every morning with a sub-canonical feeling that it ought to send a reporter around the corner to report a speech by Wendell Phillip, or William Lloyd Garrett. There can be no possible doubt as to the legacy of Mr. Alexander to the South and its old-time institutions, but it is truly possible that he does not stop to weigh his words. He ment given out to the "Lost Natural" which means that it was Lewis cubed around the world—most erroneous expression of love for the South, and it has remained in sandil with himself.

SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS FORM AN ORGANIZATION To Be Valuable Addition To Saint Louis Civic Life On January 15, twenty-three teachers of the Summer High School met and resolved themselves into the Mound City Teachers' Association. Its object as expressed in the constitution adopted is: to promote the mutual welfare of its members by bringing teachers into relations of mutual assistance and co-operation; to stimulate professional zeal among its members by encouraging intellectual improvement; to secure the conditions essential to the best service to the schools and to the community; and to promote the development of the American ideal of Democracy. The Association's program comprehends a broad constructive policy. Recently it sent to the Superintendent of instruction resolutions deploying legislation of any sort looking to the abbreviation of his powers in the matter of appointment and promotion of teachers in the Saint Louis schools. In addition, it put its members at the disposal of the Board of Education for active service in the coming Tax Election. The organization will stand sponsor for literary and musical programs of highest merit, and hopes to raise a scholarship fund to be available for worthy persons who wish to complete their schooling. Among the most constructive items on its program, however, is the promotion of closer relations between pupils, teachers, and parents that these three forces may work together for the good of conditions in Saint Louis. To this end it is planned to urge upon the proper authorities the importance and wisdom in forming a Parent-Teachers Association, and to co-operate with them in making it a success. The regular meetings of the Association are held in the Sumner High School. It has the approval of the Superintendent of Instruction and of the entire Instruction Department. With its membership of thirty three, the organization may well be counted on to serve Saint Louis in a most effective way.

Gent' GO-TO-CHURCH CAMPAIGN The Churches of St. Louis, of all Denominations are engaging in a Go-to-Church Campaign to Stimulate Attendance on the part of the great unreached masses of the city. Several preliminary meetings have been held to carefully formulate and perfect the plans for the movement. It has been definitely agreed that church attendance shall be emphasized for the entire month of March, but that the strongest efforts be made to get the masses to go to church on March 6. Window cards and display ads are to be printed telling the public of the movement and later card invitations are to be distributed in the vicinity of the churches and in the neglected districts of the city. The regular church attendants and the ushers are, to be especially alert to welcome the strangers and visitors that may come in during the period of the Campaign and every encouragement and opportunity will be given for men and women to link themselves with the church of their choice. A large Supervisory Committee has been appointed, consisting of the following ministers: Rev. Geo. E. Stevens, Revs. C. A. Williams, B. F. Abbott, T. J. Moppin, W. H. Peck, O. C. Maxwell, N. L. Smith, S. W. Parr, P. W. Dunavant, D. R. Clark, R. E. Lee, J. L. Cohon, A. R. Dobbins, A. J. Donaldson, Malaich Oween, I. E. Banks, S. J. Patterson, R. H. C. Sydnor, W. J. De Boe, Rev.

As Religion Spread Throughout The Old World, The Custom Soon Prevailed Of Burrying The Dead Within The Sacred Precincts Of The Churches And Cathedrals. Soon These Were Filled And, Then The Churches Were Fenced And Their Yards Became Places Of Sepulture With Masses Of Monumental Sculpture, In Honor Of Those Whose Remains Were There Interred. As Cities Grew And The Churchyards Were Filled, Cemeteries Were Established—Graves Burial Stones And Monuments Were Crowded Close Together, And Only Such Paths And Driveways As Were Necessary Were Laid Out Through The Tiers Of Lets And Graves. Few. If Any, Of The Oldtime Cemeteries Were Provided By Their Founders For Their Future Preservation Many Were Left To Time And To Chance And The Uncertain Disposition Of Future Generations. There Is Scarcely A City In The United States That Has Not Witnessed The Destruction Of One Or More Of Its Cemeteries.

Please of our State and to NEW MOVIE THEATRE Market Street Near Jefferson Avenue Newly Remodeled and Decorated PLENTY OF FUN AND GOOD MUSIC AT THE BOOKER THIS WEEK The Martin-Walker Company has a spicy entertainer in the musical comedy, "Met In A Cabaret," at The Booker Washington Theatre this week. The offering is put over at a speed that keeps the humorous vein at fever heat. The action of the playlet centers around two men who refused to take their wives to church, claiming they had to attend to lodge duties. The women, out of revenge, went to a Cabaret. It so happened that the men went to the same place. There is plenty of comedy in the actions and narrow escapes of the Quartette before they discover each others' presence. The fun is perforated with several fifty songs and dance numbers which include: "High Brown Babies' Ball" by Tiny Ray and the girls; "Tm Awful Lonesome" by Bae Brown, supported by the girls in a "Shimmie" dance: A comic song "Stuff", by Billy Walker; "There'll Be Some Changes Made" by Hennetta Davis; A harmonious quartette by Martin, Ray, Walker and Miss Roy; Miss Brown in a sweet rendition of "Pretty Little Rainbow"; and Miss Pearl Royen "Stamping The Blues Away" assisted by Misses Brown and Davis in a screaming dance hit. Martin and Walker are the fun makers and they keep the audience in a continuous mood of hilarity. The engagement closes Sunday night. Frank Montgomery's Show Show Next Week Frank Montgomery's "Hello 1920" Company, with the biggest traveling show that has ever been booked at The Booker Washington Theatre, consisting of 18 performers, will be the attraction next week beginning Monday. Montgomery is one of the best producers on the road and is a favorite here. In the company which will be at The B. W. next week, a perfect beauty chorus with wonderful costumes is featured and special scenery is required for the produc- GIRLS FEATURING NEW SONGS EACH WEEK AT MANHATTAN Leona Pease and Elizabeth Johnson, the Jazz Queens, are making a big hit at The Manfiattan Cafe, Newstead and Finney, with new songs every week. During the coming week, these entertainers will feature: "Moonshine," "Let The Rest Of The World Go By;" "Um Hm;" "Some Day Sweet Heart." The Manhattan is being crowded nightly with a clientele of music and ance lovers, and are receiving high class service in the line of latte hot and cold drinks and good eats. Rialto Stroll" Next Tuesday The Rialto Girch Club will introduce their "Rialto Stroll" next Tuesday, February 22, in the competition of most popular new club dances. The Cosmos Club did not appear last Tuesday as announced, although Manager Lauense states that a representative of the club reserved the date for the introduction. SMALL INCREASE IN ADMISSION PRICE AT BOOKER WASHINGTON Mr. Charles Turpin announces that a net increase of about two and one-fourth cents in admission prices will go into effect at The Booker Washington Theatre beginning next Monday, February 21. In making the new prices, the following changes have been arranged: General Admission is increased from 17 to 20 cents; Reserve seats from 23 to 25 cents; Box seats from 78 to 30 cents; and children from 11 to 15 cents. The Theatre will pay the 10 per cent war tax. The slight increase to the individual patron is insignificant, but the aggregate amount will serve to cover the advanced railroad costs of the big traveling companies, which are now being booked at this theatre. The managers of the theaters have been strung gling along, under a heavy burden, for several months, due to high railroad fares, in hope that some special rate agreements might be reached. Advance Only For Expenses The advance in admission prices is not for profit and was only increased sufficiently to cover the added railroad fares. A better grades of traveling shows have been booked for The Booker Washington. Next week, be ginning Monday, the attraction will be Frank Montgomery's "Holtz 1920" Company with 18 performers. This is the biggest show that has ever come to the Bopker, our special scenery and a lavish display of fancy costumes. The outfit compares favorably with the famous old productions for which theatre-goers willingly paid a dollar for a desirable seat.

A Slave of Vanity From the play 'IRIS' By Sir ADTHUR WING PINERO RC MATTERS THE STAR — The coming week's program at The Star Theatre will open Saturday with Jack London's great story of the unseen, "The Star Rover." The story deals with a young physician wrongly accused of a murder and tortured by a bullfoxing police inspector. His soul goes roving among the stars to the scenes of previous reincarnations, and this is made use of by his fiancee to have his subconscious mind reveal the happenings of the night when the murder was committed. On Sunday, Harry Caroy will be seen in "West is West." It is the story of a cowboy with brains—a natural free-lance who uses his head as well as his horse; of how he settles a miner's stifle by shirtsleeve diplomacy, wins a fortune for his friends as well as for himself, and makes a certain young lady realize she is not too good for him. The Star's big feature for next Thursday will be "The Devil To Pay." This brilliant photodrama is based on one of the most unique themes ever selected for screen presentation. The leading banker and political dictator of a small town commits a crime and causes another to be sent to the gallows to cover up his guilt. She could not marry him without losing her fortune and scandal's lying tongue was working. ALSO — Last Episode of "TIGER BAND" AND—LARRY SEMON COMEDY, "School Days" After the man's execution, a physician secures his body and resuscitates him. Secretly he assists the district attorney in gathering criminal evidence against his botrayer. THE PENDLETON — Wallace Reld in "What's Your Hurry" will be the feature attraction at The Pendleton Theatre this Sunday. Starting out as a professional racing pilot, the star shifts to motor trucks when the father of a certain Virginian makes it clear to him that he does not fancy a speedster as a son-in-law. But a publicity man for trucks, Wallie proves, somewhat of a "diliver." Finally the breaking of a big irrigation dam, threatening disaster to hundreds, gives him his big opportunity. By mobilizing a fleet of trucks and leading them to the scene of the danger, he is able to save the dam, and win the girl, besides. On Monday and Tuesday, this theatre will show "The Truth About Husbands." The story deals with what women learn about men after marriage. It shows that woman goes blindly into marriage, accepting a man at his face value, and finding that matrimony has only given her a dishonored check! That's the big theme of this drama that hits near home! On next Wednesday the first episode of Charles Hutchison in the new serial; "Double Adventure" will be shown. This is the latest thriller. THE COMET Tom Mix in "Prairie Trails" will be seen at The Comet Theatre this Sunday. The picture is replete with exciting thrills of the Mix type. He is in rapid action from the beginning of the picture to the end, and if he rehearsed he might lose much of the dash and speed required to make the action real. And there are certain scenes that, from their very nature, could not be rehearsed—for example, the great dive over the cliff. EXTRA SPECIAL---MONDAY, TUESDAY SOME DAY EVERY WIFE WILL KNOW "The Truth The first chapter of William Duncan in the latest Vittagraph chapter lay, "Fighting Fate"; will he go next Monday. Thursday William S. Hart will present in "The Testing Block." His picture Mr. Hart has an opportunity of displaying not only his as a rider, fighter, and actor, it in portraying a human being, especially. He rouses the spectators high pitch of enthusiasm, especially when heights half a dozen of wn "gang" single handed; and brings them to the point of when he strives so desperately his baby, lying at the point in his lonely cabin. THE MOVIE—Among the features at the Movie Theatre the coming week will be; "Nomada of the North," this Saturday; Wm. Russell in "The Iron Rider"; on Sunday; Constance Talmadge in "In Search of a Sinner," Monday; "The Restless Sex" on Tuesday and other big pictures to follow. THE JEST-A-MERE — "A Slave of Vanity" will be featured at The Jea-a-mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday. The story is a screen adaptation of Pinero's famous drama "Iris." Miss Pauline Frederick, the star, has very opportunity to display her tender ability as an international stress. The story lends itself to her sensitivity as it would to one other stress appearing on the screen. A widow of social position and wealth whose late husband's will demands she remote sigils or sacrifice both money and position. It is a big problem because a young man who has plants of talent but no money has come into her life and she has him. Also, she is loved by the rich banker in London but does not return her affections. In a series of pleasant surprises Iris is able to spite the riddle herself, but this is the trick of the picture. On Wednesday and Thursday this theatre will offer "The Highest Law" It is a picture which shows the bananism of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. It tells of a young soldier who was to be executed as a deserter, but really only slipped out from camp to bed farewell to a dying mother. How his life was saved by President Lincoln makes an interesting and thrilling picture. THE CRITERION — Charles Hay in "Powerful Valley" will be The Criterion feature this Saturday.

Hyde has adopted as his slogan, "Go Forward." This statement, we must confess, rings true to our idea of a progressive administration. But, the question is, how far forward does the Governor wish to carry his program? We are particularly interested in those measures that will give his old State a "lift" from its old and time-worn place among the states of the nation. Governor Hyde has the opportunity of his life. He has the opportunity to prove to the people of this State his real leadership. To move along the same old beaten spots of his predecessors will be the mistake of his life. The Republican party of Missouri has committed itself to an educational program, looking forward to better schools and better educational facilities for the Negroes of the State. This promise, we as a group hold most dear to our hearts. It is the one promise we expect the party to keep most sacred. We are watching with keen interest, the support of the party leaders of Mr. Moore's bill, which would make Lincoln Institute a university, where the boys and girls of our Race will have an opportunity to get higher education in the State. It has been rumored that Governor Hyde feels lukewarm towards Mr. Moore's bill on the ground that the amount asked for is too large, and also because he (the governor) thinks that a teachers' college would be the best for the Negroes at this time. If these rumors are well founded, then the question we should like to know is, how does the governor reason? What could be his line of argument to support such an opinion? There is no doubt that the State has the money. There is no argument as to the right and justice of the cause. No one dares to say the Negro youth of the State is not entitled to an opportunity to get a college education in this State. For the governor to hide behind what the State has done in the past, will be dodging responsibilities for which the Republican party of the State must answer. If the governor really means "go forward" and is willing himself to get out of the beaten paths of the past, and is willing to bear the responsibility of a real leader, who will get the people somewhere, then we have no misgivings as to the stand he will take on Mr. Moore's educational bill, because the bill, itself, is "Forward" We have had much to say in these columns during the past two months眼cerning the Ku Klux Klan. But we are more serious about that matter now than ever. We saw, a few days ago, in The St. Louis Star, a picture purporting to be that of one William J. Simmons, who is the active head of the clan and whom it is said, will soon leave Atlanta, Ga, his den, for a tour of the West, in the interest of his organization. We consider this announcement, accompanied by a picture of the promoter, as due and timely warning to the people of St. Louis, of what they may expect in their joint court. Admitting that we are prejudiced against such a clan because of the dirty, underhand deeds it has done against the Negroes in this country; we would call to reason its most stunning supporters and ask, what real beneficial service can the Ku Klux Klan render any community? Admitting that the purposes of the organization to preserve law and order are noble, we would naturally want to know when did the constituted authorities delegate their power to a band of night-riders who work under the cover of darkness? Let us suppose that a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan was organized in this city; haven't we an organized police force to look after the interest of the people? Only the fool hardly, the low-bred, the coward, the mean; those who work under the shadow of darkness; those who would snite and hide their hand will be found following the Ku Klux Klan. Everybody who is honest enough to tell the truth will admit that the Khan has a sinister purpose. Every act of theirs is against the constituted authorities of the law. What right has any man to ride up to my house in the dead hours of the night and kidnap me, and administer a thrashing because I have incurred his displeasure during the day? The Ku Khux Klan has no more right to exist than any other band of thieves or cut throats. A few days ago, down in Texas, the members of this Klan kidnapped a lawyer, a white man, who was stripped, tarred and feathered and sent into the streets naked. It is said the lawyer had been warned of having too many Negro clients. As a result of this act the Sam Houston Chapter No. 1, Ku Khux Klan has issued a statement under their seal, denying any knowledge of the kidnapping. We wonder do they think that they are fooling anybody? Of course everybody knows that a seal cannot lie; but we also know that liars handle seals. Upon his arrival in the West, especially if he gets as far as Missouri, William J. Simmons should be first introduced to the constituted authorities of the law, and it by camouflage or evasion, he must pass them; then the next best step will be to fight fire with fire. Let the self-appointed take him in charge and give him a dose of his own medicine. A coat of tar and a coat of feathers will be too good for him. *For-warned—For-armed*: A few weeks ago, the Associated Press "played-up" a news story from Pittsburgh, Pa., about how a white woman had snapped a pistol in the face of a Negro, in a courtroom, whom she had accused of attacking her in her home some few days previous. The story also told how spectators applauded this act on the part of the woman and urged summarily punishment for the accused without a plea or trial. Now comes the news that this same woman has repudiated her identification of "Wilson" and accuses another Negro, who is under arrest in Pittsburgh. Her only excuse or apology is, she is sorry she made the mistake at first, but adding that she is quite sure it was another Negro, Joseph Thomas, who assaulted her. This promiseous identification of Negroes has caused many to lose their lives. Had this case been in the South a "neck-tie party" or lynching bee would have satisfied the bloody thirst of a mob. Thinking people of the nation, taking notice of these things should be slow to condemn every Negro whom the police happens to bring in and the formal word "identified applied." Speaker O'Tallon has promised to take the floor in defense of Mr. Moore's bill, that the Negroes of the State may have a chance to get the higher education in their home state. A close up view of the speaker of the House will show that he is really one of the big men of Missouri. We are anxious to get acquainted with the new Police Board; as we wish to acquaint them with an open secret—We want Negroes in uniform, on the police force. Mayor Kiel is to speak at Poro Auditorium next Tuesday, Feb. 22. The baring question we want him to answer is, why, during the eight years of his administration he has not given the Negro just one of the fire companies?
