RACE ENTERING UPON NEW ERA OF PROGRESS An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. 1X NO. 45 Will Have Better Recognition In Affairs Politically After Inauguration Next Friday. PRESIDENT HARDING KNOWS OUR LEADERS Will Be Surrounded By Friends Of The Colored People Who Can Be Reached For A Respectful Hearing. Associated, Negro Press CHICAGO, Feb. 23—With the formal inauguration of Warren G. Harding of Ohio, as President of the United States, at hand, it is appropriate and Hitting to state certain facts. The first among these facts is this: American Negroes are quite wide awake on all things political and economic. They will not be "footballs" during the next administration, to be kicked around at will, but if there is to be a football game, they propose to be players and not the ball. That fact is established. There are two other important things: The American Negroes propose to be 100 per cent efficient in two respects where they have not functioned, herefore, with the highest success. These respects are First, Publicity; Second, Organization. It requires money for both, and the decision is unanimous to supply all the "shows of war" needed to "arrive." Not "Wave Bloody Shirt" Harding, himself will be fair, tolerant, considerate, patient, diplomatic, sincere, even determined. He will not be spassodic, he will not "wave the blotty shirt" in the face of the white South, and all who have any such dreams or hopes may as well wake up. The President of the United States has tremendous power for good, or evil, and his influence merely by a word or deed are almost unlimited. Woodrow Wilson harmed racial progress in America by sins of omission rather than commission. He failed miserably, as President, in saying or doing even small things, as things go with a president, to create better feeling and relationship between the races. He knew, he was importimod, but he remained silent and indifferent. **Slemp A "Lily White"** President Harding is surrounding himself with "master minds" and Colored Americans are looking carefully into this list to see "Who's Who." For example, they know that Congressman Bassom Slemp, of Virginia, who is getting high in party councils, is "lily white" in his acknowledged tendencies. He is a statesman that must be watched closely, he represents an element gaining influence in the South; an element dangerous to the Colored American's welfare incautity. he is on the committee for reorganization in the South, and has been mentioned for a cabinet place. But the "eyes of the people" are on Slemp, and if former President Taft, and Vice-President Coolidge can gather the feeling of the people in no uncertain terms, so can Slemp, and all whom he represents. Surrounded By Our Friends Harry M. Daighery, of Ohio, and Will H. Hays, of Indiana, will be the politicians of the new administration with such men as Senator McCormick of Illinois, Senator Watson of Indiana, Senator New, o the same state and Senator Pence of Pennsylvania, bring an active part of the inner circle. These men know Colored people and Colored people know them. The Colored people will not hesitate for one minute to take up with them all the big subjects of the day and it is fair to say they will be given respectable hearing. Few Colored leaders, regardless of what they have known of President Harding herefore, will have the privilege of "getting to the President" personally. This will be no indication of his lack of interest, but it will be physically impossible for him to see everyone, therefore "big things" must be seconded plished through representatives. George K. Christian, the President's secretary, will be a good second, as he is a splendid type of American manhool. Kenny Rose, Leader. President-elect Harding has a comprehensive knowledge of the Negro, his problems, his weaknesses, his ambitions and his determinations. The President-elect is not only a student of conditions, made so naturally through his long newspaper experience, but he will enter the office as President with the largest personal acquaintance of raw leaders that any President ever had before. With the new administration in power, the American Negroes are entering upon a new era of programs. It will be 'race house' programs, but it will be certain and lasting; it may be leased with disappointments, difficulties, and even distressing periods, but a new day will dawn March Fourth. The St. Louis Argus HARDING SAYS HE DESIRES TO HELP RACE PROGRESS Tells Robert R. Moton He Appreciates Remarkable Advancement Negroes Have Made Along All Lines. Associated Negro Press MONTGOMERY, Aa., Feb. 23—Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, passed through here this morning enroute from St. Augustine Florida, where he an important conference with President-elect Harding. When asked concerning the conference Dr. Moton said: "The interview had no political significance. In company with some representative southern white men, I went to tell Mr. Harding something of the movement for inter-racial co-operation, which has been organized in the South and which is gaining strength every day." Mr. Harding expressed himself as being in warmet sympathy with the work of the inter-racial commission, which is helping to bring about understanding and helpful co-operation between the races and the members of the party were very much impressed with the President-elect's earnestness and sincerity." It is understood that after Dr. Moton and members of the party had spoken frankly concerning some of the handicaps to thorough understanding between the races in the South and the efforts which representative white and Colored people are putting forth to remove them, Mr. Harding plunged freely into the discussion and expressed his appreciation of the remarkable advancement which the Negro has made along all lines since emancipation, as well as his desire to help and encourage this progress. The Southern white men who accompanied Dr. Moton were Dr. W. W. Alexander of the inter-racial Commission, Atlanta, Georgia; Dr. M. Ashleie Jones, pastor of Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga.; John J. Eagan, banker and manufacturer, Atlanta, Ga.; and T. T. Woofer, Jr, Phleps-Stokes Fund, New York City. The Colored members of the party, in addition to Dr. Moton were Warren Logan, Treasurer, wtskeege Institute and A. L. Helsey, Secretary to the Principal, Tuskegee Institute.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,FEBRUARY 25,1921 Tells His Hearers To Follow. Own Leaders. Race Is Entitled To Much More Than It Is Receiving. Praises Walthal M. Moore As First Of Race To Sit In Law Making Body Of The State. Malone Scores Newspapers For'Using Word 'Negress' When Referring To Women Of The Race. An appreciable audience greeted Mayor Henry W. Kiel at Poro Auditorium last Tuesday night. In his address, the mayor told his hearers that the solution of their problems in this city was in their own hands. He deplored the fact that the Negroes allowed some "smooth" fellows to lead them when they had leadership of their own. He said, the way to get the things we wanted was to demand them; and unless we fought for those things we would never get them. He also mentioned Waltlathi M. Moore, as a legislator who had made good. In introducing the mayor, Mr. A. E. Malone said that it was a "Kiel meeting" and that the mayor could use the time as he thought was fitting and proper. In his remarks, the mayor said in part: "I address you as citizens and not as a race. You know what you want. You have been struggling a long time for those things to which you are justly entitled. "I assure you it will be my purpose to give you a better park with grass and shrubbery on it before the snow falls. I wanted to help you by giving you a hospital where your doctors and nurses could get a first-hand training; and I tell you. Hospital No. 2 is conducted as well as any white institution in the State." "I know that you are entitled to more than you are getting. You must fight and demand for the things to which you are entitled. If you do not tight for a thing you won't get it. If you do not get those things it is your own fault." "You represent sixteen per cent of the voting population of the city and should have sixteen per cent of representation." Here the mayor told of the "boogaboo" that was raised by some, when he appointed W. R. Hill, associate city counselor. "It having being said by some that the white associates would not recognize him and that stenographers would not take dictations from him. But," said the mayor, "Mr. Hill has made good. Come and see for yourself, he is still there." "I have in mind Walthall M. Moore, the first of your Race to sit in the Missouri Legislature. He has broken the lee. They said he would never take his seat; but, he is there and is making good." "I have wondered why you all don't patronize your Race more, and have more confidence in each other? You are graduating your boys and girls in large numbers every year, and I wonder how they feel when they leave school. The position of a Pullman port, instructor or possibly a clerkship in the municipality seems to be all to which they may need. It is indeed timely that you depend upon yourselves. Don't let a few smooth fellows lead you; think for yourselves. "I admire Mr. and Mrs. Malone for what they have done for your people. They have set a high example of what you are capable of accomplishing." The mayor made no mention of the fire company which he has promised the Negroes, and no one asked him any questions. Mr. A. E. Malone who presided at the meeting, in his closing remarks, scored the Associated Press and the local dailies for the manner in which they treat news regarding Negroes, and said he resembled the way those papers refer to the women of our Race as "negress." He said it was an insult to the Race as a whole. A Kiel for mayor club was organized with I. E. Malone, president; Dr. J. E. Cusinia, vice president; W. H. Huffer, treasurer; Hutchins Inge, secretary. NEGROES TO SPREAD OWN PROPAGANDA Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25—Immediately following the inauguration of President-elect Harding, a nationwide propaganda effort will be made with the co-operation of newspapers, churches, public men and organizations to sequent the general public with all the facts in matters affecting the welfare of Colored Americans. It has been noted out that the Irish in the United States have raised millions for propaganda, that in a recent single meeting in Chicago, $175,000 was raised and turned over to Miss Mary McBurvey, and that the Jewish people of the country have, "in the twinkling of an eve" raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to combat Henry Foerst's anti-Jewish propaganda. It is thought, therefore, that 15,000,000 Colored people should be armed sufficiently to have their problems fitting and extensive before the general public. DR.

MINIMUM WAGE LAW UNPOPULAR IN TEXAS HAS NO COLOR LINE HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 21—The minimum wage law which is to be introduced at the coming session of the legislature is sure to cause a bitter fight in this state.

Negro Increase Greater Than Whites In 17 Cities Census Shows That Race Is Leaving Country Districts For Cities With Population Of 100,000 And More. Louisville And Nashville Show Decrease. GERMANS FAIL IN KU KLUX MUST BE PROPAGANDA WITH STAMPED OUT SAY RACE PREJUDICE NATIONAL LEADERS Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—One of the most interesting observations with reference to population as revealed by the census of 1920 has been the study of Negro migration. The Associated Negro Press has been issuing the official populations as rapidly as given out by the Census Bureau. One of the most interesting comparative studies that has appeared comes, as surprising as it may seem, from a southern newspaper. The New Orleans States, and it is filled with facts: "Figures compiled by the Census Bureau at Washington show the movement from the country to the city is not confined to the whites. The Colored brother is also leaving the farm for the superior attractions and comforts which urban life presents. "In seventeen cities with a population of 100,000 and more, in the North and in one city in the South, the percentage of increase of the Colored race has been greater than that of the white. "In only two southern cities, Louisville and Nashville has there been a decrease in the Colored population as against an increase of the previous decade. The figures so far compiled shows a movement of Negroes to the large industrial centers in every State and away from the smaller cities and agricultural districts. "In Chicago the Negro population Attempt To Influence American Public Opinion By Attack On French Black Troops, Gets Black Eye. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—German propagandists are charged here again with puffing into practice their secret propaganda work, and striving to use American racial prejudice to further their cause. Thousands of petitions have been sent to Congressmen asking the United States to protest against the French occupation of Germany with African troops. Secretary of State Colby has made the charge that the Germans are already reviving their dirty pre-war attempt to influence American public opinion. They are collecting money on the pretense that the black troops are attacking German women and children when the French, English and even the German papers stated that these stories were lies. American Legion men are praising Col F. W. Galbraith, commander of the Legion because of his ordering Edmond Von Mach, a German propagandist from his office here, when the letter tried to persuade him to speak at a protest meeting to be held in New York. Representative Ritten, who comes from an ox-German Illinois district is said to have introduced a resolution asking France to withdraw the troops. The Associated Negro Press is understood to have asked him for a statement of his attitude in the matter. PRESIDENT OF LINCOLN INST. AT Y. M. C. A. SUNDAY Clement, Richardson, President of Lincoln Institute, will deliver an address at The Pine Street Department Y, M. C. A. Sunday, Feb. 27, at 4 o'clock. Mr. Richardson is a Harvard man and was formerly a member of the faculty at Tuskegee. He has been at the head of Lincoln Institute about three years and has gained distinction through advocating that that institution be expanded into a University. A male quartet will render several selections. Mr. Frank L. Williams will preside at the meeting. LLOYD FOR ALDERMAN MEETINGS HELD IN MANY WARDS Enthusiastic meetings have been held in the interest of Lloyd for Alderman in many of the wards of the city during the past week. On Tuesday, a meeting was held by the 23rd Ward Improvement Association at Stumpf's Hall. Wednesday—Mass meeting Kiel for Mayor and Lloyd for Alderman was held in the 7th Ward, 1541 Gratton Street. Mr. Lloyd was outed by both organizations as Cawdale for Alderman. Also the Four Least Churc Club regularly entertained the Tillie Griffin. There was a large and enthusiastic audience present, and the speakers wore John W. Hayes, Chas. G. Gates and John W. Lloyd. Thursday—AP a meeting of Robinson Guide Social Club. Mr. Asom W. Lloyd was speaker. —Wood was also a meeting of the Lloyd for Alderman Club at 1240 W. Finney Avenue. Large attends of the hostess and professional men and women of the 27th Ward. A meeting is also scheduled for this Friday at Galen Chapel. A. M. G. 8 PAGES increased 65,491. In East Saint Louis the rate of increase was less than the previous decade, but that in all probability was due to the bloody riots which occurred there and which had the effect of forcing many of the Negroes either to return South or seek homes in other cities. In St. Louis the increase was 25,648. "Cities of over 100,000 in which the percentage of increase has been greater in the Colored than the white race include Chicago, Bridgeport, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Carden, Albany, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Davenport, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Norfolk, Youngstown, Rochester, Detroit Jersey City and Troy. "In Atlanta, Birmingham, Washington, Jacksonville, Baltimore, Syracuse, Memphis, Richmond and Houston the percentage of increase has been greater in the white than in the Colored, population. The New Orleans figures are incomplete, but this city probably falls in the latter class, though there is always a steady movement here of Colored people from country districts not only of Louisiana but of Mississippi. "The reason for the increase of Noror population in the cities is easily explained. Higher wages, more opportunities for amusement and better housing conditions are the leadstones which hire the Colored brother from the farm. Sentiment Of Governors and Senators In The Largest States Is Decidedly Hostile To Infamous Klan. By Syngente Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22. The Ku Klux Klan must be stamped out. The leaders of National affairs say that it is unfair to people that are trying to progress. We have before us the writing of this article the "Search Light" the official newspaper of the K. K. K. This paper seeth with nothing but contempt, intimidation and humiliation for the Colored people of the Nation. We have not been able to find a paragraph that was kindly disposed or a word of sympathy for the efforts of a race trying to progress and keep America as the van guard of civilization. From What we could glean from its editorials that the Negro must be kept in his place. The 20th century Negro seems to be the bone of contention. They are willing to encourage the Negro who knows where his place is and how to stay in it. What that place is we have never been able to discover. It would be unfair to the many white friends of the race if we did not mention the telegrams and letters on this momentous question. Sentiments of the Various Leaders Governor Sproul, Penna.—Gentlemen you can put me down as being opposed to the K. K. K.; Governor Davis, of Ohio—The K. K. K. is no friend to the Negro or to the Nation. It should be wiped out; Governor Miller, New York—I am opposed to the K. K. K.; Governor Edwardd. (Dem.) New Jersey—The K. K. K. will not succeed; Mayor Hylan, (Dem.)—The K. K. K. died years ago and it should stay buried; Governor Small, Ill.—Let the Negro alone. He is doing well and will do better. Senator Watson, Ind.—The K. K. K. is dead. I shall do all if my power to see that it remains so; Senator New, Ind.—There is no necessity for a K. K. K.; Senator Lodge, Mass.—The colored citizens of this Nation have made wonderful progress, naturally I would be opposed to any organization that would attempt to intimidate our Colored citizens; Governor Coolidge, Mass.—The K. K. K. does not stand for law and order so I am opposed to it; Senator Penrose, Penna.—I am opposed to anything the K. K. K. stands for; Senator Willis, Ohio—When I was Governor of Ohio I gave Wilber King the most responsible position ever held by any member of his race. I am opposed to any organization that would interfere with the progress of any colored citizen as they are good and patriotic citizens; Senator Lennot, Wis.—Put me down as opposed to the K. K. K.; Senator Johnson, Cal.—The K. K. K. is not useful nor helpful; Senator Edge, New Jersey —The K. K. K. is not in accord with the constitution; Senator France. Md.—I am opposed o the K. K. K.

A Square Deal For Every Man PRICE.5 CENTS REP. MOORE WILL SPEAK HERE SUNDAY Will Ask Citizens To Lend Support To His Bill To Make Lincoln Institute A University. Will Be Held Under The Auspices Of Citizens Liberty League To Consider School Questions. LARGE GATHERING OF CITIZENS EXPECTED Walthall M. Moore, first Negro representative in the state of Missouri will address a mass meeting held under the auspices of the Citizens Liberty League at Union Memorial Church, Leffingwell and Pine, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. $^9$ The meeting is called for the purpose of lending support to Mr. Moore's scouts to have his bill passed making Lincoln Institute a University. It has been learned that unless the Negroes of the State manifest a deeper interest in the matter, the bill is likely to fall, or to pass with an apportion greatly inadequate. Telegrams and jetters have been passing during the week between St. Louis and Jefferson City and Mr. Moore states that a large gathering of citizens, expressing themselves in favor of the measure and urging its passage will greatly aid him. Other School Matters To Be Considered Other school matters will also be considered at the meeting. The questions of taxes for maintenance of the school of St. Louis and of candidates for the school board nomination will also be brought before the meeting. A report of the steps which have been taken and those that are still in progress looking toward the passage of the bill and the consummation of the other ends, will be made, at the meeting. It is expected that the capacity of Union Memorial Church will be taxed to take care of the crowd, and those desiring seats should come early.

Feb. 23—Representative Adelbert Roberts has presented a resolution to the Illinois legislature calling upon the members of Congress from Illinois to assist in the passage of House Bill 14957, having as its object and purpose, the assurance to persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching. Representative Roberts has also prepared for presentation a bill to punish persons for the destruction of property and inflicting injury to persons by means, of any explosive, bomb, dynamite or other deadly instrument or implement. This bill aims to alleviate the condition brought about by the indiscriminate bombing of property in Chicago within the last two years or more. Recently the bombings have become so extensive, affecting a cell as well as Cotton, and no one never caught or punished, that the daily newspapers and all the various departments of government are denouncing the outrages and seeking the criminals and potential murderers.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 25, 1921 tries and the public schools with constructive young minds to teach our people that supervised play not only is time not wasted, but is time most profitably spent. In the larger plants after periods of recreation the men are rejuvenated, their spirits are better, and their unit of production is increased. In the day and night schools children and their parents who have enjoyed supervised recreation are much refreshed, new acquaintances are made, petty troubles are forgotten, and a broader and more sympathetic outlook on life is established. In this conection the colored citizens of St Louis are fortunate in having community centers established at Dessalines, L'Ucverture, and Simmons Schools. Here courses in Art, Needle Work, Beading, Sewing, and Folk Dancing are given in the afternoons and evenings. This work is carried on thru the co-operation of the principals and by forty-five volunteer teachers and friends. Already seven hundred are enrolled and Waring School is expected to begin very shortly. This work is being sponsored by the Urban League under the direction of Miss Uxenia B. Scott, Neighborhood Secretary.

W. THEATRE Frank Montgomery, H曼迪 Robinson, Henry Jones, Frank "Chinese" Walker and graceful Florence McClain, surrounded by a strong company including a real beauty chorus; are offering what Montgomery calls a "Hodgesedge of Nonense" at The Joakim Washington Theatre this week. The ingredients are song, dance and fun, compounded purely to amuse in a quick succession of big doses. Frequent changes of music are required and at times the limited stage space allotted is not sufficient in fully display the artistry of octave song and dance numbers. There are a number of good features, the most languish, cafe scene and patrons are constantly rising in response to patriotic orchestral selections that they miss all the courses served at their table. The opening is a mindful scene with Robinson and Jinocas the functioners and John Vigel as the interlocutor. The usual style humorous and satirical conversations ensue and several musical numbers introduced. After the opening chorus the following songs and dances are introduced: "Jaabo Johnook" by Glinda Young and girl"; "A Tape From Italy" by Walker; "Silver Reel" with a whirlwind dance; by Thomas Brooks; "Clau Patria" by Robinson; a poetic speech describing the show by Montgomery; "The Land of Jazz" by Louise Taylor; "Tennessee" by Jines; and the scene closes with the "Vamp" by the company. This is followed by a Pharodora number by Brown, Miller, Young and Jaspre and a snapper talk by Montgomery and McClain. "My Baby's Arms" by Miss McClain and company is a tuneful piece artistic and brilliantly, costumed and a big hit. Montgomery and Robinson then pull off a safe blowing bijoues followed by Montgomery singing "Thafs All I Needber," Vigel and the girls in "Good Rye Broadway" and the comedist Miss McClain in a reflector song. "Sweet bladder." After the cafe scene, the show closes with a novel "Shimmi and Jazz" done before the curtain. It's a big show by a big company and is making a big hit. Mr. Montgomery and his company will offer the "Fallies and Fancios of 1821" at the H. W. next week. It is a bungue revue of fads and said to be highly entertaining. One of the big features will be a "Rabbit Hop" done among the audience. Walker will appear in his famous Chinese Character, the imitative Bundi Robinson as a hotel porter and Florence McCain as the leading lady of a theatrical company. Montgomery will direct the orchestra. The production is built solely for laughing purposes. Prane and Johnson continue to draw the crowd at the Manhattan Cafe with their songs and dances. During the coming week they still feature "I Want to go to the Land where the Snow Daddy grows." "All By Myself" and "Blood Fun and Ween." ALL COLORED PHOTOPLAY AT PENDULKTON AND STAR "Nobody's Children," a sensitivelous two row Tatakine with an All Star Olympiad cast will be seen at the Pentelon Theatre next Wednesday, and at the Star on Thursday.

It is during the search is a secret for him by the boy that a murder is committed and of which the victim is murdered tried, convicted and sentenced to hang. The step-parent admits the girl and takes her to one of the rooms where he is known. The actual slayer is a dodo Land. He disarms the girl's presence in the room and escapes from the jail so that he might be his sister. The consummation of this escape and the hand to hand fight which taken place in the room to which the stepfather had placed the girl and in which the boy tells the unnatural parent, forbidden, that one of the most gruelling thieves ever appa Other Pendleton Features This Sunday and Monday The Pendleton will show "Blitz Wives."

The story revolves around a young man who is arrested for sheep rustling in which he had no part, is convicted and sent to prison for a term of five years. Following his release from prison, his efforts to "make good" furnish many thrilling incidents. Another special picture at this theatre will be Thomas Meighan in "Conrad In Quest of His Youth," on Tuesday. Conrad Warrener is an army officer who finds himself old in middle life and who goes in search of his youth with interesting results. How he makes the discovery that the man who loves never is old, makes a capital story. Mary Pickford in "The Love Light" will be the big attraction for next Thursday. It is the story of an Italian girl who falls in love and marries a stranger, who later proves to be an enemy to her country. How she sacrifices everything in order to protect not only her neighbors but her enemies, is presented in a series of startling and gripping situations which naturally must be seen to be appreciated. THE JEST-A-MERE Two big features stand out on the program at the Jest-a-mere Theatre during the coming week. On Sunday and Monday, May Allison will be seen in "Are, All Men, Alike?" "Teddy" Hayden, who is the girl that Miss Allison portrays with such delightful artistry, rents a studio in New York's Greenwich Village and there enters into the life of the Bohemian folk like one to the manner born. From the start "Teddy" captures the interest of every long-haired poet and artist within hail, and her efforts to escape their amorous advances provides the story with some of its best moments. In the end, however, she renounces her ideas of rampant feminism, and decides to become an old-fashioned wife. Bert Lyttle in "The Price of Redemption" will be featured at, this Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. The story is that of Leigh Dering, a young English army officer, who saves the besieged garrison of Akbar from a native uprising, and afterward marries a rich girl in London, only to find then that he does not love her. Assuming the crime of another, he leaves London and returns to India, where he abandons himself to drink and drugs. There, some time later, his wife, now married to another, finds him, and it is through the love of their little child that Dering redeems himself and wins again to mastery. SPECIALS AT CRITERION Basil King's "Earthbound" will be the big offering at The Criterion Theatre this Saturday. An entire year of constant work, during which more than thirty-seven miles of film were taken, was devoted to the making of this picture in the Goldwyn studios at Culver City, California. The story is that of the powerful influence of a woman's charms which blasts the lives of two families, culminates in murder and follows its deaths into the lake. On Sunday The Criterion will offer "The Devil's Passkey." It tells the story of an American playwright whose wife gets badly in debt to a famous and infamous modiste in France. In her attempts to extricate herself she is forced to meet clandestinely an attractive young American army officer. Out of their meeting—innocent enough—springs a scandalous story which all Paris promptly learns and which husband just as innocently takes for the plot of a play in which he presently makes a great success. Jeered at and scorned by all society for making, as they think, his own wife's indiscreations a source of fame and income, he suddenly wakes to the terrible truth and what he did to untangle the meshes of scandal and gossip makes a powerful story. THE MOVIE Among the features at The Movie Theatre the coming week will be "Behold My Wife" and "When Pals Fall Out," on Saturday; Shorty Hamilton in "When Arizona Won" and "The Man of Mystery" on Sunday; "The Cheater Reformed" on Monday; Harry Carey in "Blue Streak McCoy" on Tuesday; The first episode of Wm. Duncan in "Fighting Fate" and "The Kentucky Colonel" on Wednesday; "The Beloved Brute" on Thursday; and "The Mutual Child" next Friday. Pythian Boys First Grand Farmers' Ball Fri.

The public knows that there never has been any misleading state- Mrs. Frank Oddt who wrote us from Nesauville, Calif. February 9, 1921, hit the right nail on the head: "Triner's Bitter Wine is as good as you advertise, and nothing can beat it." It has suffered from poor appetite, constipation, stomach ache, gases in the intestines, headache, etc., go to your drugstret or dealer in medicines, and ask for Triner's Bitter Wine.

Taylor will preach next Sunday. Everbody welcome. Rev. J. L. Woodson, pastor; Bro. G. Jackson, reporter LANE TABERNACLE LANE TABERNACLE The congregation is marked and also complimented for filling the main auditorium so early last Sunday morning. Shortly after eleven o'clock, there was not a seat left, and the Sunday School Department was soon filled to capacity. Rev. N. L. Smith was the speaker, and was quite fascinating in a message from the Old Testament. Bishop C. H. Phillips of the 3rd Episcopal District was with us, and extended an invitation to all of those having no church home in a most appealing manner. Bishop Phillips has not preached for us for a long while but it's wonderful to hear him talk after a sermon. It is good to be prepared for Heaven, he says, but why be in a hurry to leave this world, and especially if God is not ready for us. Bishop Phillips is known throughout the country as an irreceivable to the Organic Union question. He says he has buried it so deep until it will never resurrected at the next General Conference. Rev. N. L. Smith will preach Sunday morning, and at 3 P. M. he will also preach for the Trustees Auxiliary Board. At eight o'clock the pastor will fill the rostrum again. Dr. J. W. Martin kept his audience roaring with laughter all through his lecture Monday night, Latin, Anglace, is very interesting, and the Carter Club has broken the record for a Monday night audience. Mr. E. Hawkins of St. Paul, A. M. E. Church will be the principal speaker for the Epworth of Lague Sunday evening March the 6th. There will be several other excellent selectors also. Sunday School Smiles Mr. L. W. Reed of the new progressive class was once a public school teacher. He will no doubt find his experience in this profession very valuable as teacher of the new progressive Sunday School Class. As there are already quite a few naughty scholars in the class to whom the red should be applied immediately. There is a suspicion that the young Men's Ribbon Class treasury is empty. They can't get the Banner any more. Dr. N. O. Bruce, Teacher of the class finds the job of capturing the Sunday School Standard, much more complicated than he does the honorable profession of extracting teeth without pain. Now, that the Literary Department is through mixing races in public schools try and mix a little more of the congregation with the Literary Department. The Trustees auxiliary Board was pretty wise in securing Roy, N. L. Smith to preach for them this Sunday afternoon. This is about the best way to get the pastor interested in an afternoon service, excluding quarterly meeting. And Dr. Martin forgot to tell us how those Brazilians were, enjoying all those motor cars we've been shipping down there. CENTRAL BAPISTI—The Lord's Supper will be observed and celebrated on next Sunday morning. Pastor Stevens will relate the "Facts of Calvary." At night Pres. Clement Richardson of Lincoln Institute. Jefferson City will speak. His subject will be "The School As Related To The Church." All should try to hear this noted educator. He comes to St. Louis at a time when all are interested in the future of Lincoln Institute. The pastor is conducting each Monday night at the church a course in Christian Culture. It includes the Study of Bible of Decominational History and principles, of Missionary biography, and of practical Christing service at home. All the members, all aspiring to the ministry, and all not members wishing to take up these studies may do so freely. Just bring your Bibles, pencl and paper each Monday night at eight o'clock till nine thirty, at Central Church, Ewing and Washington Aves. in the chapel. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST. 1702 Wash —Good services were held all day at this church. Scripture was read by at pastor. Sermon at 11 a. m. Sunday School at 1:30 p. m. B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p. m.

The church is wonderfully blessed under the leadership of Rev. A. J. Mance. An $80 debt on the old building was paid in less than nine months. The old one will be put up for sale soon. The tribes, Arkansas and Tennessee under the auspices of Mrs. L. J. Casey and Maria Williams had a Bazaar Feb. 14 and 15 and gave prizes to two girls selling the highest number of tickets over sixty-five. Louvenia Taylor, 430 W. St. Ferdinand, 120 tickets, $12.00, first prize, which was a beautiful pocket book; Gladys Mance, 4259 W. N. Market, 110 tickets, $11.00 second prize. Realizing from the Bazaar $18.90; from tickets, $23.00 total take in $40.00. We hope to worship in our new building March 6, 1921. Mrs. L. J. Casey, chairman; Mrs. Maria Williams, assistant chairman; Rev. A. J. Mance, pastor. 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 unrached 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 attendance and the usheres 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. Cohen, A. R. Dobbins, A. J. Donaldson, Malachi Owens, I. E. Banks, S. J. Patterson, R. H. C. Sydnor, W. J. De Boe, Rev. Wheeler and Ernest S. Redd. The Pine Street Department Y. M. C. A. is co-operating with the churches in this movement to reach the great unchurched masses of the city. BUILDING OWN HOMES NEW ORLEANS.

Negroes united on any one politic together on some questions. Negroes registered a solemn protest against Race discrimination last Wednesday evening at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Their action tells the story in the strongest language at their command. Our contentions have been in the past, and are now, that we as a group, do not receive the political recognition to which we are justly entitled. Our fight has been and now is, for representation in party councils. Not through "Mr. Bill Smith" or "Mr. Tom Jones," but through our own. The mistake of the committee representing the Citizens Republican Club was that they reasoned incorrectly. They knew that we were dissatisfied with conditions, and thought we were willing to "swallow" anything for a change. We are just as much opposed to one boss as to another. We of the Seventeenth Ward, failed to see where we would be benefited anymore by being bossed by Jas. C. Shaner than we would being bossed by Frank M. Slater. From one boss to another doesn't get us anywhere. Our fight is for direct representation in the party councils, and any mad or set of men who would see our face in peace might as well make up their minds to give us that representation. The idea of getting behind closed doors, or at the "Statler," where it is hardly thought that Negroes would appear, and make up a political slate, and select someone to deliver the Negro vote, is a thing of the past. To see the Negroes united on any one political issue, looks to us like we can get together on some questions.

He also told you that if we never get it, we fight for the things to which we same time not get mad and kick out that see things alike. In view of the fact that we have separate schools for white and Colored children of the city it is only right and just-that one of our group should be at the head, where the plans and policies of the schools are formed and scrutinized. Generally speaking, the schools of our city are classified as "Colored" and "white." The whites include the Greek, Jew, Irish, German, Pollock, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc. Yet we find among these whose children may attend the same schools, the group idea when it comes to representation on the School Board. It is not an uncommon thing to see a group working for a man or a woman because they are Jews, Germans or Irish. And while it is true that they are peers of each other, knowing as a rule, something of home life of each other from a social viewpoint, it is also true, that the Negroes are not so classified. It will be remembered that there are nearly seventy-thousand Negroes in this city and they occupy a peculiar place in the body politic. Therefore, it is fair to assume that the Board as a whole wants all the details of the Colord community—that is, their actual increase (the movements within the Race making for increase), their main centers of population and any just grievances not yet formally expressed, that may be deepening in the breasts of the Colored patrons. A blood spokesman, sitting as a peer on the school board and not a paid employee can do this work infinitely better than anyone else. Of course he must have the proved qualities of mind and soul for this high task. We are sure that the white members of the Board would welcome such a member, who in their general work could incidentally or at certain vital points make illuminating suggestions as to the Colored schools. If the other groups find it necessary to have a direct blood-representative on the Board of Education, for obvious reasons, how much more should the Negro be represented on said Board as a matter of right and justice? Lynchers down in Florida seem to be trying to out-do the lynchers down in Georgia. Electing a Republican president cost the Negroes thirty lives in Florida, on election day, last November. Those same white people in Florida, celebrated Lincoln's birthday by lynching a Negro. It now makes us fairly quake to think of March the 4th, when President Harding takes his seat. God alone knows what will happen to the Negroes in Florida on that day. The Mayor said, that we were entitled to sixteen per cent of political recognition of the city. He also told you that if you did not fight for it you would never get it. Let us learn to fight for the things to which we as a group are entitled and at the same time not get mad and kick out of the traces because we all do not see things alike. THE TRIPLE HEART WHIST CLUB The Triple Heart Whist Club gave a house party at 918 N. Leonard avenue. Monday evening, Feb. 21, which was largely attended by members and visitors. The evening was most pleasantly spent. This club was recently organized and the smart things it is doing in the social circles have become noticeable by the older organizations. Naomi Price is the president; Ethel Williams, secretary and Coralie Jones, reporter. The next meeting will be held at 4321 Cook avenue, when Mrs. Carrie Hudson will be the hostess. Undertakers Ass'n Election of Officers The St Louis Colored Understaff Association were the guests of Mr. R. M. C.

Justice George M. Ockell ruled here yesterday in deciding a suit brought by one of the lodges to prevent the other from using the emblems. 51ST BIRTHDAY OF GR.MASTER CLARK 51ST BIRTHDAY OF GR.MASTER CLARK M. B. GRAND MASTER CLARK The 51st birthday anniversary of Crittenden E. Clark, grand master of the Most Worshipful Masonic Grand Lodge of Missouri and jurisdiction, and the organization of the Crittenden E. Clark Lodge (U. D.) was an unusual occasion Saturday night, Feb. 12 when Masons of high and low degree assembled at the Masonic hall, 3619 Easton avenue to participate in the institution of a new lodge and to bring congratulations to their grand master for having stood the tempest of life for fifty one years. The appointment of officers who will govern the new lodge, by Grand Master Clark, and the presentation of officers' jewels and other paraphernalia (gifts from the grand master) was the closing feature of the formal ceremonies. Edward Levy, private secretary to Grand Master Clark, called the craftmen to refreshments, and led them to a bouquet table which was heavy laden and beautifully decorated with ferns and carnations. Seated with Grand Master Clark were Dr. R. K. Hill, grand secretary; E. L. Cooper, grand lecturer; Jas. Beard, grand enlistment commander of K. T.; J. T. Cannon, grand secretary R. A. M.; S. A. May, grand king, R. A. M and various members of the Pastmasters' Council and members of the U. D. Lodge. District Deputy Frank Vashon, acted as master of ceremonies. Glowing tributes were paid the Grand Master by the pastmasters, and the prevailing thought was, that he had been a "Moses," in guiding their destinies, and because of his being firm and fearless of heart, their order, today ranks foremost among other organizations of the Race in Missouri. An eloquent response that was frequently interrupted with plaudits was made by Grand Master Clark. Chas. Lucas was appointed W. M. of the new lodge which has a membership of more than thirty-five promising young men. Celebrates Forty-Fourth Year In City's Employ M. B. The forty-fourth anniversary of the removal of dead animals, especially dead horses from the City of St. Louis was celebrated this Friday, 25th by Edward Bowen St. at his residence, 1154 Fairfax avenue. The banquet is being attended by all of his kindred and many of his friends both white and Colored. His four married daughters from various cities are present accompanied by their husbands to help celebrate the guest of the evening. His daughter from Philadelphia, presented him with a present which he valued very much as a token of reverence. The orchestra played sweet strains throughout the evening as they directed. Numerous selections of congratulations were promulgated by many of the guest during the evening to his forty-four rides of experiences and his heavy falls, during this curricular time and to his good health and physical condition. He is still on the job and very active.

RACE PAPERS IN SOUTH COURAGEOUSLY FIGHTING KU KLUX Associated Negro Press DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 23—The entire nation has become interested in the courageous straightforward manner in which the newspapers of the South, despite threats and warnings, are fighting the existence and methods of the Klux. In this state the well-known Dallas Express and the Houston Informer, both members of The Associated Negro Press, have been most outspoken, and have in consequence received threatening letters signed only by the "Klux."
