A delegation composed of men and women, conferred with Governor Hyde at cJfferson City last Tuesday about the bill, to make Lincoln Institute a university, and was assured by him that he and the party accusers were favorable to the measure and felt no doubt as to its pass. He did express some doubt, however, as to the amount, of money which would be available for the purpose and stated that if the appropriation had to be cut, he wanted it understood that it would not be due to any question of race, but it would be a necessary measure in considering the whole of appropriation measures to be enacted by the legisl- The delegation appeared before the Appropriation Committee and urged that committee to recommend the sum of $750,000.00 for the establishing of the University. One of the questions asked the delegation was: How many colored people were ready to receive university training? and it was informed that more than 250 were new attending the Universities of neighboring states and other establishment for the education of colored people in various parts of the country, besides the large number who would make use of the facilities if they were near enough to enable them to do so without the exceeding high cost of going away. The delegation was accompanied by Representative Moore who caused to be introduced and read in the House of Representatives the resolutions passed at the Mass Meeting held by the Citizens Liberty League at Lafayette Memorial Church last Sunday afternoon. It is predicted on all sides at Jefferson City that the bill will pass with a substantial appropriation for the purpose therein contained. Among the members of the delegation were Mrs. W. C. Bridges, Mrs. Galcon, Dr. C. M. Powell, Prof. Inman Page and Atty. Geo. L. Vaughn of St. Louis, and Rev. Scruggs of Jefferson City. Attorney Vaughn was spokesman for the delegation. Moore Given Great Oration Representative Moore was the principal speaker at the mass meeting held at Union Memorial Church last Sunday afternoon by the Citizens Liberty League to consider school matters and was given a cousing welcome by the audience when he was introduced to speak. The entire audience stood and voracityly cheered Mr. Moore. He told of his experiences in the Legislature and of his work and he said his efforts had been directed toward the enactment of legislation which would better the condition of the people of Missouri and particularly the condition of the members of his race. Other speakers were Chas. H. Brown, Herman Deer and Aaron W. Lloyd. Koehn and Caulfield Help Bon. Edward Koehn, collector for the City of St. Louis, called the Governor over the oug distance telephone last Tuesday at the solicitation of the delegation and urged his support of the Lincoln Institute Measure. Judge Henry S. Caulfield also sent a letter stating that as chairman of the Platform Committee last fall, that committee and the party committed themselves to the proposition of making Lincoln Institute a University and urged that the plague be reduced.

HYDE Missouri Executive Tells—Industrial Commission Immediate Improvement Of Racial Conditions Can Not Be Expected Special to The Argus: JEFFERSON CITY, March 2.—Governor Arthur M. Hyde met in conference today with the Mo. Negro Industrial Commission and the Mo. Negro Farmers Bureau and discussed plans for the betterment of Missouri Negroes. Chairman N. C. Brune of the Industrial Commission made a forceful appeal for the Missouri Negro, and spoke favorably for the Farm Experiment Bill now before the General Assembly. Mrs. Myrue F. Cook Commissioner from K. C. made an appeal for a clean Police Administration in Kansas City and also spoke of the necessity of a separate home for incorrigible boys of the Negro race. Commissioner Jno. Batchman of the 11th Congressional District, expressed the hope that the Industrial Commission would not be consolidated under any other Depth. Perry Sheppard, Chairman of the Mo. Negro Farmers Bureau, an organization of 4000 Negro Farmers made an appeal for a Farm Demonstration Plant for Negroes. Prof. C. C. Hubbard of the Lincoln High School, Cedella paid a high tribute to Governor Hyde in an introductory speech. Governor Hyde expressed his approval of the good work of the Commission and said in part that the improvement of conditions would be slow and that the people of the state must crawl before they can walk and no reform or immediate improvement of Racial conditions can be expected. He further said that he was glad of the opportunity to meet leading Nearn citizens and that there is a better understanding between the administration and Negroes of the state. Dr. J. W. Day, pastor of the Church of the Messiah, will deliver an address at the Pine Street Department. Y. M. C. A. Sunday at 4 o'clock. Subject, "Religion and Citizenship."

Published In The Interest Of Colored People EYES CENTERED ON THREE HIGH APPOINTMENTS EYES CENTERED ON THREE HIGH APPOINTMENTS No Information Obtainable On What Colored Men The President Will Bestow the Honors Of Minister to Liberia, Recorder Of Deeds And Register of Treasury The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, March 2.—The subject of Minister to Liberia is being considered with a degree of interest that is unusual. Dr. J. L. Johnson of Columbus, Ohio, is the present Wilson appointee to the African post. Liberia is being bailed as a new field of opportunity, and there is a desire that the American representative shall be truly statesmanlike in proportions. Dr. Ernest Lyons of Baltimore, a minister to Liberia under a former administration, is said to be an active candidate for the position. It is stated on high authority, that while he is a minister in the Methodist Episcopal church, this appointment would not be received with enthusiasm by Bishop Matthew W. Chair, who says a statement is broadcast that there are certain records on file in Washington which, if unearthed would not help Dr. Lyons candidacy. Among others who have been mentioned for the post, but who are themselves not favorably indicted for the position are: Dr. Emuett J. Scott secretary-treasurer of Howard University; Perry W. Howard, Jackson Miss.; Counselman Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland and Representative Nutter of Charleson, W. Va. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, in a letter to Benjamin J. Davis, editor of The Atlanta Independent, in which he states that he will never resign as a member of the National Committee, and that he will never accept any appointment that will take him outside of the United States. All kinds of affairs are being made by "Lily Whites" of Georgia to "get rid of Johnson." Aaron Malone of St. Louis, J. C. Napier of Nashville, R. Church of Memphis; Andrew Stevens of Philadelphia and Robert S. Abbott of Chicago are among the names mentioned for Register of the Treasury. Politicians are all "standing back," as it were, to see what Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson is going to say about his old place as Recorder of Deeds. It is well known that if he desires that position there is no other person in the country who would have a better chance. In the event that he does not take it Perry W. Howard would seem to have the next best call. REV. J. L. CASTON CLOSES A SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL Rev. J. L. Caston, former pastor of the Olivette Baptist Church of this city, who was recently called to the pastorate of the Broadway Baptist Church of Columbia, Mo., has just closed out a very successful revival in his new field. One hundred and five persons were aided to the church in a two weeks revival. Rev. Caston is one of the best prepared ministers of his denomination and has proven himself to be one of the most progressive leaders of his faith. Rev. Caston did aft of the preaching himself and his church feels that he is truly as great leader. The Argus, wishes both church and pastor an unprecedented success. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1921 Lloyd's Chances Look Very Good Seventeenth Ward Candidate For Alderman Has Solid Negro Support. Favored By Whites As the campaign for city offices nears the final day, the prospect of Aaron W. Lloyd, candidate for Board of Aldermen from the Seventeenth Ward looks very good. Aside from the solid support of the Colored state there is every evidence to believe Mr. Lloyd will have a substantial white backing. It is freely conceded among men active in the political affairs of the city that the Seventeenth is justly entitled to a representative in the Board of Aldermen. Meetings Held On last Monday evening a meeting was held at Pilgrim Baptist Church, in the interest of Gates and Lloyd for Alderman. Among the speakers were Ernest Patillo, Mrs. Tillee Griffin, Mrs. Grant Bledsoe, Mrs. P. Ruby Perdue, and A. W. Loyd. Tuesday night, March 1st a Lloyd for Alderman mass meeting was held at Compton Hill Baptist Church, 3444 LaSalle. Speakers, Rev. Coffey, W. E. Osborne, A. W. Lloyd, Meshes Tillee Griffin, J. Gallan and Grant Bledsoe. The meeting was presided over by Capt. Walter Lowe. A very enthusiastic meeting, was held on Wednesday night in the 7th Ward by Kiel for Mayor Republican Club. Among the speakers were W. H. Fields, Ernest Patillo, Meshes Gallan and Perdue. 22nd Ward Republican Club held a mass meeting with a packed house, with A. W. Lloyd as the principal speaker of the evening. Meetings were held at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church by the Woman's Republican Club 12th Ward, Idle Hour Bachelor's Club, 1737 Division, 26th Ward Republican Club, Marcus and Easton, Pleasant Green Baptist Church and at Lohman Hall by 7th Ward Republican Club, 7th and And Aves. On Monday night March 7th a meeting will be held at Poro College, and the Women's Auxiliary Republican Club of which Mrs. A. M. Lindsay is chairman will hold a Gates and Lloyd for Alderman meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church, 4423 Kennery Ave. UNEMPLOYED NOT RETURNING SOUTH UNEMPLOYED NOT RETURNING SOUTH Reports from Employment Bureau in the city indicate there is no improvement in the unemployment situation which is now widespread. St. Louis has fared much better than any large industrial centers due to the variety of industries here. An idea how the situation is affecting colored people in other sections of the country may be gained from the following: In one week the Pittsburg Urban League had 1027 applicants and only 8 were placed. The Chicago League placed only 58 last week out of 2000 applicants. The Boston League made no placements at all last week, while the Cleveland League made only 24. The St. Louis League in an effort to make placements made 117 telephone calls. There was an attendance of 402, of whom 25 were placed. A group of colored men in Pittsburgh were recently asked: "Now that you colored men are but of work, are you going to return to the South?" The answer showed the hope of our people: "Like Hell we are." Reports show that the majority of those who came north during the migration period will not return to the South, but will wait until conditions in the Industrial Centers improve. 54 REPUBLICANS FILE FOR THE 14 ALDERMAN PLACES Primary Election Is City Wide. Every Voter Must Scratch All But One Candidate In Each Ward. Before the next issue of the The St. Louis Argus is off the press, more than half of the voters in St. Louis will have cast their ballot with their choice for mayor, comptroller and fourteen members of the Board of Aldermen. The Primary election will be next Friday, March 11. The 600 polling places in the city will be open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. The 600 polling places in the city will be open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. on that day. There are three candidates for mayor on the Republican ticket. There is no contest for Comptroller, but for the 14 aldermen to be selected 54 candidates have filed. The nomination and election of aldermen is by city-wide vote. Every voter, from all over the city, will vote for one man in each ward. Aldermen are to be elected this spring for the old-numbered wards only. How To Vote When the voter enters the polling place, he or she will ask for the party ticket desired. Republican, Democrat or Socialist. The first group at the top will be the three candidates for Mayor. In order to vote for one, the other two must be scratched. After the Comptroller, comes the list of candidates in the old wards from one to twenty-seven. In all the 14 wards for which Aldermen are to be elected, there are Republican contests. In the Thirteenth Ward there are nine contenders, and in the Twenty-first Ward there are eight. The voter will pick out one man in each ward, for whom he or she desires to vote, and must draw a pencil line through the names of all other candidates in that ward. Unless this is done the vote will be lost. After the scratching has been done, the ticket must be folded, with the printed side in, and given back to the judge, who will place it in the ballot box. Remember - You must scratch your ballot or it will be thrown out and your vote won't count. You can vote for only one candidate for Mayor and only one candidate for Alderman in each of the 14 wards. When your ticket is ready for the ballot box it will have only 16 names left unscratched. The following is the list of candidates on the Republican Ticket: MAYOR Henry W. Kiel Robert Burkham Hans Peter Roy Nelson COMPTROLLER Louis Nolet BOARD OF ALDERMEN First Ward Edward L. Kuhs Jacob Leonhardt Third Ward William F. Niederlacke Theodore Umbright Fifth Ward Edward W.

Malone, Chairman Kiel For Mayor Organization Among The Colored People. Says Mayor Is Sure Winner. Under the leadership of A. E. Malone the Kiel for Mayor Club is hard at work to put over the Mayor for a third term. Organizations are being formed thrust the city and a hot campaign is expected during the coming week. About eleven hundred men and women attended a meeting at St. Paul Baptist Church last Thursday night and unanimously endorsed Kiel for Mayor. Speeches were made by Rev. M. M. Madden and Mr. A. E. Malone. Those present pledged their support to the Mayor. There is much speculation among the Negroes of the City as to which faction of the Republican Party will win in the primary election on March 11th. Ernest Patillo is saying that Col. Burkham is a sure winner, while A. E. Malone, manager of the Kiel forces, is equally as sure that Kiel is the winner. To those who are neutral it is generally conceded that Mayor Kiel has the lead at present over Col. Burkham as far as the Negroes are concerned. By the first of next week things will be so shaped until it will not require a prognosticator to tell the winning candidate.

Stevens For Board Of Education Were Also Indorsed Saturday At a meeting of the Seventeenth Ward Republican Club at Pythian Hall last Saturday night. Col. Robert Burkham was endorsed for Mayor.

Burkham with a questionaire, but the Col. said he was making no "promises" at this time. Sheriff Chas. Mohrstadt was introduced as a man who has kept his "promise" with the Negro. He spoke in favor of Col. Burkham. Other candidates endorsed were, A. W. Lloyd for Board of Aldermen, 17th Ward and Dr. Geo. E. Stevens for Board of Education. A member of the committee stated that they did not call on Mayor Kiel for a statement, hence they had no statement from the Mayor to prescure for consideration. OTHER CLUBS ENDORSE Burkham for Mayor, Lloyd for Alderman and Dr. Geo E. Stevens for Board of Education were endorsed at the meeting of the Nineteenth Ward Improvement League last Tuesday night.

Burning Bush Baptist Church is still on the map much has been said of our Pastor Rev. A. J. Mance and his work. He was called to pastor the church Friday night before the 1st Lord's Day in June, fading the church in very bad condition both in finance and discipline. The church had made an effort to buy a home and in three years only kept up the interest and paid notes to the amount of $164.75, having with them two loving members. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Welch, who paid $636.25 and saved the property for them. This couple in every way proved their loyalty as Brother and Sister in the church and still doing their part. Rev. A. J. Mance took the church to do his best with only $6.00 in treasury, in less than three months, paid the $800.00 mortgage off and had $104.00 in the building treasury. We have some irregular members, but we are going on, our motto being a new church. Our present location not suitable to build on, we-purchased a new home for the church, 4570 A. Market St., on the corner which we will occupy Sunday, March 6, 1921. All are invited to worship with us. We can truthfully say in the last 8 months from all sources, we have raised over $3000.00 and have added over 100 members. Some of our old ones have gone and new ones have come. The Pastor says, he is going to hunt the lost ones. Asking the prayers of the prayers that we may reap a great harvest for the Lord. — Reporter.

He has been personally active in all the important movements developed in his eight years of service as mayor. The best man to depend upon is the man who has done things. --- AS FOR Beautiful Hair And A Lovely Complexion It is astonishing to know the beneficial results one may obtain from the constant use of Madam C.J.Walker's Superfine Toilet Preparations. Why, they are an Assortment of Toilettes suited to the needs of every complexion and beneficial to the most languid scalp. These preparations guaranteed to be the equal of many higher preparations and are absolutely free of any injurious contents. Expensively compounded but conservatively priced. Kiel-On-His-Record RESULTS count-not promises or vote-catching oratory St. Louis has gone forward during the eight years of the Kiel administration. Mayor Kiel's record—actual RESULTS—has been one of continued progress. There is a new spirit of hustle and go in St. Louis under Mayor Kiel's leadership. This new spirit is running at full speed. Compared with a long list of mayors, Mayor Kiel has been remarkably free from political squabbles. None of his political differences have stood in the way of his administering the real affairs of the city. He has followed as closely as is humanly possible the schedule of his platforms. Waterworks filtration plant, largest of its kind in the world, giving plentiful supply of clear pure water in your home and place of business.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY; MARCH 4, 1921 1 7 "Ligut, Cols Robert Burkham, United States Army for exceptionally meritorious and conscious services. By his exceptional ability and energy he successfully organized and put into efficient practice the claims department of Rens's, Requisitions and Claims Service. The successful handling of many complex problems in respect to the adjustment of claims was due in a large measure to his high professional attainments and sound judgment. He has rendered services of signal worth to the American expeditionary forces."—Citation by U.S. Army accompanying award of Distinguished Service Medal to Mr. Burkham. TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF ST. LOUIS: A change in the Mayor's office is necessary—Necessary for the economical, efficient and progressive administration of the city's business.—Necessary to perpetuate the American principle that third terms in executive offices are unwise.—Necessary to keep as low as possible, the taxes, which are now a heavy burden on all the people. The Republican party will nominate its candidate for Mayor in the primary election, March 11. As citizens and taxpayers you are tired or promises unfulfilled. You know that the record of Robert Burkham as an upstanding citizen—his distinguished service to his country during the war in which he won high honors on account of his high professional attainments and sound judgment—insures the same high order of service in our city affairs. For these reasons we urge every Colored voter to go to the polls, March 11, and vote for Robert Burkham for Mayo. Signed: MRS. VICTORIA TURNER MRS. ALICE HILL MRS.

The Negroes of this City are her support of a man who is afraid to be a fellow who makes you a promise of the fellow who makes no promises of the course. Col. Burkham does not of the city hanging over his head; so anything worthwhile he has no proof. So far as we are concerned, man's wool. The stronger he makes in "black and white," that is all right.

Some have died for a promise. We have little faith in the man who is afraid to make a promise. We have a little faith in a man or set of men who are afraid to commit themselves. The Colored people are peculiar in their political status in this city. It goes without saying that we have a uniformed police department; but what about the Negroes in uniform? We certainly have firemen, but what about a company or two of Negroes? We have parks and playgrounds most beautiful but what about these things in Negro neighborhoods? What about representation in party councils? These are some of the questions of which we as a group are vitally interested. We see the fruits of dotging, the issues and "non committal" on questions affecting the Negroes of the State by the Republican State platform committee last year. We didn't think it fair then, nor do we think it proper now. We want promises. We want something to bind a man when he gets in office. We have noticed that Col. Robert Burkham candidate for mayor has cleverly avoided making any promises respecting the Negroes. He may want their vote and he may not. But one thing certain we want to know how he feels on this racial question. Not that we want to make an issue of the subject, but because it is an issue that must be squarely met. If he makes no promises certainly we will have no claim on him. We would rather have a promise than to have none. Mr. Burkham makes a nice speech and assures us that our interests will be cared for in a general way. But, we know better! Mr. Burkham knows better, and everybody else knows better. We have in mind a promise made by the present high sheriff of the City, Hon. Charles Morhstadt. He said he would appoint five Negroes as his deputies if elected. He did that. He made the direct promise. At the same time, John Schmoll merely stated that he would do the "right thing." There is a big difference. A promise inspires hope. It gives a man something to go upon. If a man or set of men make a promise, and then fail, they become obligated to those whom the promise is made. A promise is a debt; you have the right to demand its fulfillment. To demand where there is no promise, the fellow can say to you, "Go to hell." The Negroes of this City are hereby warned, to be careful in their support of a man who is afraid to make them a direct promise. The fellow who makes you a promise obligates himself to you, whereas, the fellow who makes no promises has no obligations. Of course, Col. Burkham doesn't want a promise to the Negroes of the city hanging over his head; so if he doesn't see fit to give them anything worthwhile he has no promise to bind him. So far as we are concerned, we want a promise—we want a man's wood. The stronger he makes it, the better we like it. If it is in "black and white," that is all right, and better. If anybody thinks it an exaggeration to say that the South has not yet conceded the Negro the right to be educated, let that body hear the Southerners themselves. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal of Feb 6, 1921, has an editorial entitled "Lest We Forget." The editorial is aimed against the bill for national aid to education, on the ground that the Negro might share in such aid. The Commercial-Appeal fears that a United States officer with a million dollar appropriation in his hands might not discriminate against Negro children. For this one sordid reason this editor opposes national aid. He is willing for poor whites to continue in importance for fear the Negroes may be enlightened. What a desperate situation a Southern white man of the type of this editor must find himself in! And Memphis exemplifies this narrowness. The high school for Colored is not merely a disgrace but an actual menace to health and morals. The old dilapidated building may fall any day. The light is poor, and it is situated amongst shops, factories, railroad engines, freight care and coal. Years ago, when the situation was much better than it is now, this was a white school, but even then the Commercial Appeal and other Memphis daily crank out against it. They called it a "mirror to the lives" of white children. They said it was unfair for a roost for bats. They compelled the school board to take the white children out of it. And three weeks after that the Colored high school was housed in that terrible building, and has been there for six years. It was "unfit for hogs" but fit for Colored children. These people do not believe in educating Negroes. They maintain shams and camouflages as systems of "Negro education." There are 162,000 people in Memphis and over 70,000, or 45 percent of these are Colored. But the Negro does not have one dollar out of twenty invested in his education. They do not seem to understand that the education of the Negro will help the community and that his ignorance will keep the whole citizenship back. They have no hospity, but only a blind, helpless, pitiable prejudice. The Negro had to be freed against the will of the South, and now the South says that it was a good thing to free the Negro. The Negro will have to be enfranchised and educated against the will of the South, and an hundred years from now their white grandchildren BURIAL PERMITS T. McBowell, 80, 2831 Papin C. E.
