MAYOR KIEL ELECTED TO THIRD TERM BY THE NEGRO VOTE GREAT LEGAL BATTLE ON SLAVE MURDERS BEGINS IN COVINGTON, GEORGIA An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. IX NO. 51 MAYOR GREAT LEGAL SLAVE MURDER IN COVING Clyde Manning, Negro Boss Of The "Death Plantation", Repeats Gruesome Story Of Murdering Eleven Men To Hide Peonage Evidence. COVINGTON, Georgia. April 6.—An exceptional legal battle began here yesterday morning at 9 o'clock when John S. Williams, wealthy owner of the Jasper County "death plantation" went on trial for his life before Judge John B. Hutcheson and a Newton county jury. Both sides are represented by legal talent that ranks with the best in the south, and the prosecution and defense are primed for a court struggle that will draw the attention of the whole nation while it is in progress. The recent series of gruesome murders of Negro farm hands employed by Williams and the subsequent discovery of eleven bodies on his plantation and the Alcovy river have stirred the people of Jasper and Newton counties to a high pitch, and they are grimly determined that justice shall be wrought in the case. Race Question Dramatized Not only John Williams, but also the white citizens of Newton County of the State of Georgia, of the whole South, is therefore, in a way brought to the bar of Southern white justice. The white race question is dramatized in this trial as it has never been before. So at least Covington and Newton County seem to feel. They feel that the eyes of the whole State will watch what they do to erase the blot put on its fair name by the murders. They feel that the trial also has a political significance of more than local or State-wide scope—that from their action in this case which has been so startlingly thrust before them, the whole country will form its opinion of the sense of justice of the South. Noted Council For Negro. "A number of interested citizens from the state at large, feeling especially under the peculiar facts of the case that the interests of justice demand that Clyde Manning have the benefit of competent counsel at his trial, and Manning being unable to employ the same, have retained counsel to represent him. E. Marvin Underwood, one of the best known lawyers in the country was employed. He will be sava, base his case on Manlie plea that he committed the homicides under fear of death. Mr. Underwood says that the only question upon which the jury will be called upon to pass, will be whether or not Manning did, in fact, kill the other Negroes under the fear of death. If they decide that he committed the homicides under these circumstances, Mr. Underwood said, the Negro will be acquitted of the charge against him. Manning On Stand Manning went on the Stand Tuesday and practically repeated testimony he had previously given to the Grand Jury. In telling of throwing Peterson and Preston in the Yellow River, he stated they were bound and chained to a hundred pounds of rock. Williams drove the machine that carried the victims from his farm to the river bridge, helped get the bound men into the car and ordered them thrown into the water, the witness said. Manning said he and Charlie Chisholm, had thrown the laborers over with chains around their necks and wires fastening their hands. Begged For Lives "They were stubborn and begging," Manning said in a cool tone, "and me and Charlie rolled them over the handler into the river." After Peterson and Preston had been disposed of, the witness said, "We got in the car and carried 'For Price' a third farm hand) to South River." "All right, boys, get out," Manning quoted Williams as ordering. "Harry Price, he got out," continued Manning, "and says 'Don't throw me over, I'll get over,' and he says 'Lord have mercy' and went over." Price fell in about the middle of the river from the bridge. Manning said, with a sack of rocks chained to his neck, "I held the weight off his neck while he got out of the car." Manning said. WIFE OF EDITOR COLE DIES AT RED CROSS SANITARIUM LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 26. After an illness of four weeks, during which time she suffered much but fought her affliction with a courage and persistence that were admirable — Mrs. Katherine Walker Cole departed this IIFs March 24, at 2:13 p.m. at the Red Cross Hospital, where the best medical attention was given her. She had done her best. Odds were against her. Everywhere intelligence of her death, as it spread over the city, provided fourth expresser expressions of praise of her beautiful character. The St. Louis Argus A SAMPLE OF THE STARTLING STORY TOLD BY MANNING "I knocked four Negroes in the head with an ax in one week," he declared to the jury, "and buried them in a pasture back of Mister Johnny's house." Why did I do it? Because the boss wanted to get rid of them Negroes, and I knew that if I didn't make 'em disappear he'd kill me. "Charlie Chisholm, another one of Mister Johnny's trusty Negroes, put in a little work—he killed one suspicious Negro by brainning him with an ax. Then Mr. Williams got uneasy about Chisholm and made me get him. Me and Mr. Williams took him to the river one night and pitched him off the bridge, after we weighted him down. Charlie begged hard, but Mr. Williams said: "Let's throw him over and have it done with." mains rested in a most beautiful casket in the family at 1123 W. Chestnut street, where scores of friends looked in sadness upon the face that had so often smiled upon them, and the blanched lips that had so often spoken with that kindness so characteristic of Mrs. Cole. She was the wife of I. Willis Cole, Editor of The Louisville News, with whom she worked faithful, and contributed much to the success of that publication. EDITOR'S NOTE: Brother Cole, you have our deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear wife. NEGRO IS PUNISHED BY UNKNOWN MEN DALLAS TEX. Alex Johnson, Negro, who until a few days ago, was employed as an elevator boy in a Dallas hotel, was seized by several men near his home, 3500 Roseland avenue, late Friday night, taken a few miles into the country and severely flogged and branded for alleged improper conduct with a white woman. His assailants are unknown, as all the men wore masks. The Negro, after the whipping and being branded on the forehead by the symbols "K. K. K." was brought back to the city, taken to the hotel where he formerly worked and instructed to inform his associates thereof a similar fate awaiting them in case any of them committed a like offense. Johnson was taken to his house by friends. It was stated he had been employed at the hotel for several months prior to his recent arrest. Police Commissioner L. E. McGee and other officials of the department said yesterday they had no information relative to the attack on Johnson and had never heard of any organization operating here using the symbols "K. K. K." Federal officials made similar statements. Charles Gunning, captain of detectives, said if he received any information bearing on the case he would place it in the hands of the grand jury. GARVEY MOVEMENT RAPIDLY GAINING IN SAINT LOUIS On Sunday, April 3rd, there assembled in the First Free Baptist Church, Lucas and Garrison avenues, about 1800 people who from the convincing remarks made by the speakers brought forth enthusiastic appliances that lasted for many minutes. Mr. W. C. Thompson, President of the St. Louis Division, is a forceful, passionate and convincing orator, whose methods of speaking shows his interest in the movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as indeed gratifying and which produced great results to the hearers, for many joined. Mrs. Harding, Lady President, conducted the meeting splendidly and also gave an interesting talk on the N. N. L. A. The choir rendered beautiful selections. Mrs. Charles Head of the Black Cross nurses combined with the Head of the East St. Louis Black Cross nurses made very interesting talks. The Hon. Rudolph Smith, superintendent of the Field Corps from New York who challenged any opponents of the movement to debate with him anywhere and anytime; succeeded well in securing members and at the climax of his speech people lied up along the tables and joined in the movement which clearly showed he had broken down all oppositions and from what may be learned the spirit of the Negroes in St. Louis are turned towards the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Black Star Line and to help in the construction work in Liberia, Sunday meeting. April 10th will be held in Pythian Hall, 2127 Pine street, at 2 p.m. Being much smaller than the last meeting place, it would be admirable to some easy. Most accomplished member will join near to the end. Published In The Interest Of Colored People WALTHALL MOORE SPEAKS AT FULTON Legislator Has Great Following. Tells His Hearers That Right And Justice Must Prevail. Accompaied By Argus Editor. Special To The St. Louis Argus FULTON, Moh. April 4.—Before a large audience at the Methodist church here, last Wednesday, March 30, Hon. Walthall M. Moore delivered a pleasing address to a waiting people. The people of Fulton had waited the opportunity to see and bear the man who was the first of his race to occupy a seat in the law-making body of this State, and like at other places, in the State, they were glad to have the opportunity of hearing him. Representative Moore accompanied by J. E. Mitchell, editor of The St. Louis Argus, arrived in the city via Alton railroad and was met at the station by Rev. Pate, Mr. Wilson and a group of women, and was immediately driven to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent on West 5th street, a stopping place. Mr. Moore's engagement had been mentioned in daily papers, and early in the evening, persons were seen making their way to the church, despite the threatening weather, that they would be sure of a seat. Upon Mr. Moore and his party's arrival at the church, they were greeted with wild applause. Rev. E. F. Pate, pastor, in a few brief remarks introduced Prof. W. C. Payne, a graduate of Lincoln Institute, who in turn introduced Mr. Moore. He told his hearers that Mr. Moore had done the Race and the State a real service as a member of the legislature, and they were proud of the record he had made, for the sons and daughters of the future. When Mr. Moore arose, he was again given a rousing welcome, with several rounds of applause. He began by saying: "I esteem it a great pleasure to greet you good people of Fulton, here in Calloway county, in the greatest State in the Union. I recall from history, how Captain Calloway, for whom this county is named, died, defending this county against Indians, an hundred years ago. I can imagine his spirit looking down upon us tonight, in wonderment at the marvelous change that has taken place in this old county. "You came out here tonight primarily to see me, because you have heard of me. I hardly know just why the people of St. Louis elected me as their representative from the Ninth district. Surely there is a destiny that shapes our end. I am thinking of that immortal Abraham Lincoln. God has always used the lowly to give expression to his divine truths." "After my election, I saw that a part of the citizens of this state being neglected, from an educational standpoint, and I went to work to bring about a change. The results of which you well know." Here, for the first time, Mr. Moore gave the reason, as he thought, why the representative from Barry county changed seats in the House, which was next to Mr. Moore. "I think the gentleman was constantly embarrassed, while sitting so near me," he said. "The people brought me flowers and more flowers, and someone was always showing interest in me. I was the object of attention, while apparently no one paid attention to the gentleman from Barry; hence, I suppose it made him mad, and there was nothing for him to do but move out of the embarrassing position." The people of Fulton were well pleased with Mr. Moore's address. At the North School, of which Prof. W. H. Bowen is principal, Mr. Moore addressed the pupils, the following morning. The pupils of the Eighth grade under the direction of Miss McKim, the teacher rendered a song dedicated to Mr. Moore, a verse of which is below: Walthall M. Moore. We need a man to guide. Who'll always stand beside us. One-sho is a worker through and through; A man who'll make Missouri shive just like a beacon. And Mr. Moore they have selected you. Chorus Walthall lead the L. O. M. Walthall on to victory. We're here to make a fuss. Walthall M. Moore you're the man for us. BISHOP R. A. CARTER AT LANE TABERNACLE SUN. Bishop R. A. Carter of the 4th Episcopal District C. M. R. Church has arrived in the city and will speak at Lane Tabernacle. Newstead and Enlight this Sunday morning and night. At 3 p. m. Rev. A. R. Dobbias, of Wayman Chapel A. M. R.

IS APPROVED BY PENROSE Says He Sees No Reason Why Restaurants And Hotels Should Refuse To Serve Colored People. By Senator Penrose "I see no reason why the colored man or colored woman should not be able to obtain a cup of coffee at any restaurant if they want to, or for that matter go to hotels, cafes or other public places frequented by white persons. "The time has long since passed when there should be any discrimination or repression toward our colored citizens. They are entitled to their rights as citizens under the constitution. They are free men under the constitution, and I believe they are entitled to full commercial and political freedom of action, especially in regard to public accommodation and utilities." HARRISBURG, Pa., April 1. —The House of Representatives Bill 269, introduced by Representative Asbury of Philadelphia and known as the Civil Rights Bill, was passed by the House of Representatives Tuesday by a vote of 139 to 45. The bill now goes to the Senate for final action, and it is believed there will be no opposition in that body. The bill provides that Negroes in Pennsylvania may patronize hotels, cafes, restaurants, educational institutions and amusement places on equal terms with whites. The measure would severely penalize those who own or conduct public utilities accommodations for refusing Negroes access to them, or for denying Negroes the same privileges accorded whites. Representative Asbury, Philadelphia, sponsor of the bill, opened the discussion of the measure, telling of the need for such a law on the statute books of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania bill is identical with the New York law, he said. The Philadelphia member told of actions of the theatrical men who refused to sell seats to Negroes who asked for ground floor seats and of soda water clerks who refused to wait on colored people. He quoted James Gay Gordon, Philadelphia, and Senator Penrose as favoring the passage of the measure. Representative Phillips, white, Courfield, said there are but two questions raised by the bill, a moral and legal question. He quoted the constitution as giving equal rights to all citizens and the Bible to prove the moral right of equality. Representative Stevens, Philadelphia, made a strong plea for the bill. Representative Walker, white, Philadelphia, said to enact the legislation would be to carry out the spirit of the constitution of the United States. WIFE OF THE LATE CAPT. C. H. TANDY DIES Mrs. Annie E. Tandy, 80 years of age, widow of the late philosopher and race leader, Capt. C. H. Tandy, died Saturday, April 2, and was buried Monday morning from All Saints Church. Rev.

At the outbreak of the late war, he enlisted with the famous 8th Illinois, November 1917, and was sent to France in April of the following year, where he saw active service until he was killed November 4, 1918, at Boise Ainse, France, just one week before the end of the war. He had just come out of a 36 hour barrage, and was waiting in line for mess, when two shells, probably sent from one of the enemy's longest range grunts, burst near by and shattered sixty men.

CARSON FORD SPEAKS ON UNIONISM EAST ST. LOUIS, III. March 24. More than 1500 packing house employees met last night at the Polish hall, Seventh street and St. Clair avenue, and heard two international officers, Carson Ford, international organizer, and Dennis Lane, international secretary, tell them that only 100 per cent unionism can save the eight-hour day and allow them to dictate what settlement will be made with the packers when the present temporary agreement between the brotherhoods and their employers expires September 15. Carson Ford, the first speaker pleaded for 100 per cent unionism in the plants. He alleged that the wage cut recently announced by the packers came about as a result of "crooked" work and said the six months time given the workers would be illly spent if they did not organise to the last man and be in a position to dictate what hours they were to work what pay they were to receive and under what conditions they would labor Mr. Carson alleged that more money' had been spent in the last 25 years for luxuries than had been expended in the previous 145 for education and claimed that the money which had gone into the luxuries was 'gained from the blood of labor.' His speech was of the senational order. Dennis Lane international secretary, was greeted with applause and stamping of feet when he took the floor. He explained at first hand what had happened at the Washington conference which resulted in the agreement to work for six 12 PAGES DR. STEVENS IS DEFEATED BUT GETS BIG VOTE Race Candidate For Board Of Education Gets 19,730 Figures Are Commendable Considering Fight Made By Non-Partisan League. Dr. George E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist Church, and candidate for member of the Board of Education in the election, received 19,730 votes. A peculiar co-incidence in the result is, that Dr. Stevens' name was in the ninth position on the ballot and he retained ninth position in the summary of votes cast for him. The vote received by Dr. Stevens is considered commendable, because of the almost exclusive fight to put over the Non-partisan League candidates. The figures indicate that the solid support of the Negro vote was behind their candidate, although hundreds failed to take the time to write the names of candidates for the Board on their tickets. DR. STEVENS THANKS VOTERS FOR SUPPORT My Fellow Citizens: It is gratifying to see how the Colored citizens rallied for representation on the School Board in the recent election. The white citizens showed that in their estimation, the school board was that part of the public service which is basic and vital to the city's higher and truer life. They fought to have those on the Board that they could trust. The Negroes of the city held no second place to them in registering their purpose to make the schools all they ought to be, for their pupils and their teachers. They are now awake to go to sleep no more. Personally, I thank all who had confidence enough in me to cast a ballot for me for that position. It was a unanimity which took in all parties, creeds and sections among us, which was unusual, and significant as to our expectations and future efforts. A small minority among us opposed me, which was their right, if they saw fit; and they had some influence. But the great bulk of our community, representing seventy thousands feel that they should have a blood spokesman at the point where poteries and plans for the schools are laid and scrutinized; especially since Negro schools are separated, and because of that fact, if we regard the future of our children, there is need of constant watchfulness. I think that now is a good time to form a Parent Teacher Association among us. It should be in two or three sections and may be federated thus making the organization city-wide in its activities. I have reasons to believe that many of our well thinking white fellow-citizens are pleased with this awakening of our community; for it was a question with many whether the Negro citizens in any strength would stand by one of their own for an elective position of this character. They see us now in a new light. We have won at least their respect as a racial group and as a force in civile affairs to be reckoned with. yours ever. GEORGE E. STEVENS. WORKERS CONFERENCE CITY HEALTH PROGRAM The Social Workers Conference, represent fifteen social service agencies is promoting a Negro Health Week, May 1st to 7th, which promises to reach every family in the city. The big idea behind this movement is to focus attention upon health facilities at the disposal of Negroes thereby reducing the number of sick people and the excessive mortality among Negroes. Health Sunday, May 1st, will begin the campaign. Mr. E. S. Redd of the Y. M. C. A. has organized a large committee and each pastor will talk on better health.

A Square For Every Man PLURALITY ONLY 9572 Solid Support Of Race, Alone Saves Him From Defeat. Byrnes Seals Own Doom By Caustic Remarks Against Colored Voters. Henry W. Kiel was re-elected mayor of the City of St. Louis last Tuesday by 0.572 plurality. The Mayor received less votes than any victorious candidate for alderman, whose pluralities ranged from 43,147 to 48,484. The number of votes cast for mayor totaled 263,328. Brandt, the Socialist candidate received 4,320. Elected By Negro Vote It is conceded by all who are versed in political figures, that the re-election of Mayor Kiel can be credited to the solid support given him by the colored voters. Out of a total registration of 30,000 it is estimated that 70 per cent voted. If there was any chance for a split in the Negro vote, it was lost last week, when Candidate Byrnes made his casteic attack on the race before the prejudice "Home Protective Association." In this speech, the democratic candidate said: "I conceive Mayor Kiel 30,000 Negro votes to start with. He can have them and run away with them. I know the Negroes, as I was raised with them, and later worked 400 of them on a plantation. I am not going to solicit their votes, as they haven't enough sense to vote for me." That the Colored voters resented his remarks is shown by the returns from six wards largely populated by the Race, as follows: Ward Kiel Byrney Majority 6 2225 923 1302 16 2107 2276 831 17 3419 1521 1898 19 3636 1727 1369 22 3662 3495 467 23 3547 3328 219 Totals 18206 13270 5022 It is estimated that at least 5000 Negroes voted for Mayor Kiel, who were not residents of the above wards. The figures clearly show that a split in the Negro vote would have given Brynes a majority of more than 10,880. The entire Republican ticket was elected and the Firemen's Three Platoon Ordinance, was carried 4 to 1. This was also supported by the Negroes who saw in it the best chance to secure the much promised Negro fire company. 1ST ANNIVERSARY OFY.M.C.A.SUNDAY 1ST ANNIVERSARY OFY.M.C.A.SUNDAY Sunday, April 10, 4 p.m., the Pine Street Department Y.

THE BEREAVED FAMILY. IN MEMORIAM In memory of my mother, Mrs. Ella Johnson of Crystal City, Mo., who departed this life April 3, 1920, one year ago. "Watching" She always leaned to watch for us, Anxious if we were late; In the winter by the window In Summer by the gate. And though we mocked her tenderly, Who had such foolish care; The long way home would seem more safe, Because she waited there. Her thoughts were all so full of us, She never could forget; And so I think that where she is, She must be watching yet. Waiting till we come home to her, Anxious if we are late; Watching from Heaven's window, Leaning from Heaven's gate. Sadly missed by JOHN JOHNSON, properly of Crystal City, Mo. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my beloved niece, Idell M. Thomas, who departed this life, April 2, 1918. Three years have passed, since you have left us. My darling niece sweet and true; I often think of you so much when I am alone. For memory is the only thing. That grief can call its own; For I shed many tears for thee. Sadly missed by uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. H. Barlow and family. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my darling boy Ernest C. Cook, who departed his life, April 5, 1911, aged 8 years. I have lost my only darling. His sweet amule I see no more; But when the evening shadows fall, And I am sitting all alone; To my heart there comes a longing. If Ernest could only coddle home.

For I know and believe; He's whiting for me. On yonder shore. Sadly missed by loving wife, ELLA. M. PALMER. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear daughter and mother, Esel Stapleton, Blackwater, Mo., who died six years ago, April 9, 1915. How we miss you, darling, Friends may think the wound is healed, Little do they know the sorrow; That lies in our hearts concealed. We miss your willing hand, Your fond and loving care; Our home is dark without you, We miss you everywhere. We saw you suffer, heard your sighs, With aching hearts and weeping eyes; We saw you sinking hour by hour; Yet could not stay death's awful power. But now she calmly sleeps at last, In the realms above. Where all sorrow, suffering and pain is o'er; Where angels join this peaceful sleep. Sadly missed by mother and children. Mother, Mrs. Susie McMertry; Children, Miss Naomi Washington, Alzaida Stapleton, Olewia Stapleton. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear mother Anna Coates who departed this life, April 12, 1920. Just one year ago you left us. How we miss you mother dear; And remember all your kindness, As we drop a silent tear. We miss your gentle footsteps, We miss you everywhere; To our hearts there comes a longing, If mother could be with us always. You were so patient, loving and kind MEMORIAM In loving memory of my brother, Robert Taylor, who died eleven years ago, April 17, 1909. Sad and sudden was the call When you passed away from us. Though heaven's call we must obey, We only knew you slept away, And you did not say goodbye. We will meet you some day brother, Where parting will be no more. Sally Taylor, born Sadly missed by sisters. Mrs. Susie McMertry, Mrs. Elizabeth Parks, Mrs. Cholora Russell, and brothers.

Good Bump For Bags. Mack's Merry Makers have a good musical show full of novelty and originality, at he Booker Washington Theatre this week. A Jazz band consisting of Johnnie King, pianist; Frank Chapman, cornet; and Will "Tootman" Richardson, Drummer, helps to provide the novelty. This band is on the stage and accompanies all the musical numbers. Billie Mack as "Bo Diddie" is the fun-maker. The features are all full of pep. They include: "Strut Miss Lizzie" by Wynn, Mary Mack and the girls; "The Jazz Bo-Band" illustrated with Miss Mack as the drum major; Antics by Billy Mack with the Jazz band; a recitation "Life Is But a Game of Chance;" a humorous com-macks; "Crack Blue fob one of the Macks; "Crazy Blues," Miss Mack; an invalid eccentric by Erastus Buckner; a song of "Mystery" with "The Devil's Jazz" by the company and other good chorus and dance numbers. Double Bill Next Week Mack's Merry Makers will present a double bill at the Booker Washington next week. The first will be a Female Minstrel, and the second part is entitled "Lightning Change Artist," a deceptive musical comedy. This bill promises to be full of amusement and surprises. The third installment of "Sunshine Sambo" will be presented this Saturday Sunday and Monday. AT THE MOVIES "SUNSET JONES" AND "LYING LIPS" ARE COMET FEATURES The Comet Theatre will present "Sunset Jones" this Sunday. It is a story of Western life with a unique element of humor emotion and an underlying romance. On Thursday, this theatre will offer the Ince drama, "Lying Lips". It is heralded by film critics as an unparalleled achievement. One of the scenes was taken from a big passenger vessel at sea. Hundreds of panic strickne "passengers" fighting frenziedly for places in life boats, while ship's officers with loaded revolvers guarantee the unwritten law of the sea "women and children first," comprise one of the most spectacular scenes. On Tuesday, April 12, The Comet will give a Benefit Matinee for St. Paul Conference Claim Club. The program that day will include Ellen Percy in "The Blushing Bride." Hoot Gibbon in "Cactus Kid" and "The Mystery Mind" serial. "ATONEMENT" DELAYED. WILL BE AT STAR THIS SATURDAY The big feature "Atonement" which was to have been shown at The Star Theatre last Saturday, did not arrive on time and will be presented to the patrons this Saturday. On Sunday, The Star will present Hobart Bosworth in "The Brute Master". It is strong and virile—just the sort of story in which motion picture doeves like this splendid "heman" actor best. It fits the rugged personality of the man as all stories should fit the star appearing in them—and seldom do. On Thursday, "The Highest Lass" will be the feature. It is a wonderful characterization of Abraham Lincoln. The story relates one of the well known episodes in the career of Linecoln where his humaneness is beautifully illustrated in rescuing an eighteen year-old lad from the firing squad who were about to have him shot for desertion. "THE VIRGIN OF STAMBOUL" AT THE MOVIE "The Virgin of Stamboul" will be featured at The Movie Theatre this Sunday. Wild as an Arabian steed, quick as a leopard, unconquerable as the burning desert, but with natural instincts that preserve her undeilied amid the perils of her surroundings — that is Sarl, the beautiful dancing girl of Stamboul. She is the center for a continuous round never-to-be-forgotten thrills. Priscilla Dean is the star. "A 'Truant Husband,' 'a 'devoted wife, and a beautiful young widow' That is the fascinating triangle upon which the sparkling comedy, "The Truant Husband," a late Hodkinson release which will be the featured attraction at the Jest-a-mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday. They thought he was a Dead One, but he wasn't. Oh no! far from it. But after his decidedly harrowing experience that he went through with, he came to the conclusion that it was much better to lead the Quiet Life. On Wednesday and Thursday, "His Enemy's Daughter" will be the feature. It is a suspense-filled story of love and hate—and revenge that waits through long years until the time to strike—a classic of the kind that reaches every human heart. "WOMAN'S MAN" AT CASINO Romaine Felding in "Woman's Man" will be the Casino feature this Sunday. It is an exciting but clean story that trails across Arizona's Desert into New York Society. On Wednesday, this theatre will offer the big screen success, "The Raiders" and on Thursday, "The Snob". This latter is a rollicking story of college students with clever incidents and an exciting football game. — A Story of a Woman who forgave, but could not forget. The story of a Man who was tempted - who thought that he had reached the depths of despair - but found that a second chance had been given him and devoted his life to righting the wrong he had never committed.

Henry W. Kiel, elected the third time. Despite the combined efforts of three leading daily papers that bitterly fought the mayor he won by over 9000 plurality. It had been predicted that the Negro vote was the mayor's salvation in this election, and that statement proved to be true. The mayor's opponent made much capital of the statement that seven thousand job-holders were under the mayor, who were fearful of their jobs if he was defeated. Governor Hyde said the Republican Party in the State was in danger, if Kiel was defeated. Senator Spencer, with a message from President Warren G. Harding, told us of the danger to the Nation should Kiel be defeated at this time. Yet, in the face of these statements there were those, who in the past have been "good" Republicans, but were willing to see the party suffer, rather than support the mayor. This is where the Negro played the part of loyalty; loyal as no other group or class. By his vote on April 5th, he saved the Republicans of the city seven thousand jobs. He saved the party in the State the danger of defeat two years from now. He saved the National party of much anxiety, four years hence. These are some of the real benefits that came to the Republican party as a result of the Negro's loyalty in a municipal election April 5th. Aside from the above statement, Mayor Kiel is the man who should appreciate the Negro's vote April 5. As a group we voted for him almost to the man, and we are not all Republicans either. Now, since we have rendered the mayor such valuable service, and are really responsible for his election, we shall in turn, call upon him to render us some service. Not mere little things, that no one else wants, but some of the things worthwhile. We have said in these columns before that if the nz mayor says the word, he can give us a company in the fire department of this city within twenty-four hours. We request the charge, and add, that he should do it now, as a matter of right and justice. In supporting Mayor Kiel for the third term we told the people we believed him to be right of heart, and if given the chance he would make good his promises and also do more. By their vote, he has been given the chance, so now Mr. Mayor, we are expecting you to redeem your promise. It has been said that the democrats can always be depended on to do the u —— food thing at the wrong time. We presume that James W. Byrnes, erstwhile candidate for mayor, believes the above statement as never before. No doubt, he has found out that a concession of "30,000 votes" mean defeat to one who is so liberal in a mayoralty race in a city like St. Louis. Of course, as we have said before, he meant it for evil, but we would use it for good. We took him at his word, and gave Mayor Kiel our solid support. As a result of which, Kiel is mayor. Byrnes is still a private citizen. In recalling Mr. Byrnes statement to the attention of our readers, The Argus showed the kind and calibre of man he is. We also told our readers that he was not big enough to be mayor, because he tried to ride into office upon that monster, race prejudice. We thus exposed his vicious and under-hand method of trying to win an office. As a result, the people, both black and white, rebuked him at the polls last Tuesday, just as we suggested. That the constant injecting of race prejudice into the campaign cort Mr. Byrnes, five-thousand votes, there is no doubt in our mind. With five-thousand more votes to his credit, Mr. Byrnes, you would now be mayor of a great city, like St. Louis. See? However, we are glad that it happened in this campaign as in the past; that the democrats can always be depended on to do or say the d —— food thing at (as in this case) the right time. The eyes of the world are focused on Newton, County, Ga., as a white man is on trial for his life, accused of wholesale murder of Negroes, in an effort to hide other crimes against the law. The question that is uppermost in the minds of the public is, will a white jury convict a white man of a capital crime committed against Negroes in the South? While there are some who doubt that a sense of justice will have any effect upon a jury in such a case, yet there are others who believe that the white people of Georgia fully realize the grave responsibility that rests upon them at this time. Not only is justice on trial in Georgia, but because of the character of the crime, for which John Williams is on trial, the justice of the entire South is, in a large measure, involved. According to testimony presented to the grand jury, which indicted Williams, he is guilty of deliberate, premeditated murder, to hide other crimes committed by himself. The brutal treatment of Negroes will also have some bearing on the case. The system of peonage, as practiced on his farm, will also have a bearing in the case. The standing of the defendant in the community, has its effect in the case. In the light of the evidence which has so far come to our attention, we are forced to believe that John Williams, a white man, of Jasper County, down in Georgia, will be convicted of a capital crime, not against the Negroes, but against the peace and dignity of the State of Georgia. It was the pleasure of the Editor of The Argus to call at the office of the Danglass Life Insurance Company, 2305 Market street of this city a few days ago. To see the large spacious offices and the office force working like a bee hive, was quite inspiring. A special feature which was noticeable, was the literature, which here every evidence of a well thought out plan. The workmanship and designs suggested originality and skill. These characteristics and the force of intelligent workers who are directing the company's affairs, bespeak success for the Danglass Life Insurance Company of America. We are proud of the showing made by Dr/George E. Stevens, as a candidate for membership on the School Board. Of course, there were some among us who did not have enough race pride nor the welfare of our children at heart, to support Rev. Mr. Stevens. This should be expected, for there are those who would not vote for Jesus Christ, if they thought he was colored. Traitors! Traitors!! Why call them traitors who have no trust to betray? There are many self-styled leaders who could not lead a dog fight. Their stock in trade is their loud talking on the street corners. Con: let us get our heads together for a while and see just what it will mean for our advancement. We have tried our best together, and we find that hiding and hiding don't get us far.

It arouses varied emotions in any red blooded individual. It stirs up the wells of patriotism, and makes one say with Daniel Webster, "Thank God I am an American." For a long, long time the President has been a man of mystery. Not only was he inaccessible to the leaders of the party that placed him in power, the great gates of the great iron fence that surrounds the White House were kept closed to visitors. To millions the President was a mere creature of the imagination, and that goes, also, for thousands who live in Washington. On the Fourth day of March, when the country editor from Ohio, Warren G. Harding, became President, the White House began to instruction in tangible form. The first "big idea" to be acted upon was to "open wide the gates." That was an executive decree, but it was more, it was American and showed conclusively and effectively that things are different. It was like opening up the flood gates, and it has had an electrical effect on the populace. The people feel "nearer to the government." When Mr. Wilson and Mr. Harding rode along Pennsylvania Avenue, on their way to the Capitol, there was afforded an unusual opportunity for study in contrast. As you looked at Wilson, you thought of circles; as you looked at Harding, you thought of flowers. When, in the midst of 100,000 people Warren G. Harding took the oath that made him the head of the government, and you listened to his economically efficient and patriotically humane inaugural address, there was a spirit of just pride and enthusiasm. President Harding was saying the things as we ourselves would say them, and he was putting his thoughts in everyday language, with a delivery of eloquence and a bearing of becoming dignity.

Long and Silky KU KLUX KLAN CHALENGED BY THE N.A.A.C.P. (Special to The Argus) NEW VORK, March 31.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 20th Fifth Avenue, New York, has issued a statement challenging W. J. Simmons, head of the Ku Kux Klan, to make a financial statement of the receipts and expenditures of his organization in view of the "conflicting reports" as to the sources of the income and the uses to which the funds received were put. The statement, which was signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Abolition of Colored People, is as follows: "The head of the Ku Klux Klan, who bears the un-American title of 'Imperial Wizard,' has dignified the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by calling it the chief opponent of the Ku Klux Klan. "Apparently the opposition extends even to the methods of the two or three organizations that advocate National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It publishes a full and complete financial statement each year of funds received and expenditures. These statements are certified by public accountants. The books and files of this Association are at all times open to inspection. "We should like to know, in view of the reports published that Governor Dorsay of Georgia had been asked to suppress the Ku Klux Klan because he was the chief activist among the Ku Klux Klan will meet the challenge to publish its financial receipts and expenditures, with certification by public accountants. "The American people, this association feels would be interested in knowing whether the Ku Klux Klan funds are expended in blowing up and burning Negro school houses as a published letter charged one Klan planned to do. "To date reports of the source and use of the Ku Klux Klan funds have been, to say the least, conflicting. The only way to meet the issue is by a public statement duly certified. Will the imperial wizard meet the challenge?" SOUTHERN EDITORS ARE AGAINST KU KLUX KLAN TAMPA, FLORIDA. March 31 (Bulletin). The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot recently denounced the Ku Klux Klan an editorial which a group of like-minded Southern whites have given South-wide publicity. The papers of Knoxville are emphatic in opposing an attempt to organize the Klan there. The "conflict stating that "we have no place nor demand for such an organization in the South," and that "the secret method is not the American way of handling our problems"; while the Journal and Tribune declares that the prosperity of the Klan "would amount to a confession that we are as a people incapable of self-government." The Chattanooga Times spoke to the same effect some time ago; and Florida has editorial notes approving the "playing" of the Klan by the Jecksonville Times-Union, quoting its opinion that "nothing worse was ever done for the South than reestablishing this order without the existence of any conditions to justify it." The North Carolina papers applied Gov. Morrison's attack on the Klan, which he proposes to run out of the state, as Gov. Bickett did a kindred organization before him. The Raleigh News and Observer, in a vigorous editorial, says, "There is plenty of room in the open for those who want more thorough-going law enforcement. ..... and no regalia is necessary. Why wear a mask and work in the night-time to worry thing?" The Ashley Cityigan advises the Klan that "there is no place for such societies that would含含 obedience to law by secret influence." The Greenbush county in commanding the governor's wrath, declares that he would be intelligent of his own office if he tolerated any "extra legal organization to interfere with the execution of law." BOOK WILL TEACH RACIAL INTÉGRITY (By The Associated Negro Press.) WILMINGTON, N. CAR, March 31. Unusual interest is being shown by leading educators of both races in the South, who are interested in the plan to strengthening racial integrity by teaching Negro children something of the history and achievements of their own race. The main obstacle of such a course has been a lack of books suitable for school children of grammar grades, Harcourt, Brace & Howe have just published a book of this kind-"the Upward Path," compiled by Mary White Ovington and Nyon Pritchard, with an introduction by Moton Moton Presses Institute. Fifth edition authors are represented, with biographical notes of each. The quality and tone of the selections are excellent; and some of the names stand high with white lovers of good literature. Dr. Kerlin, secretary of the Virginia Society for the Study of Education, says of the book: "It's use in Negro schools would greatly contribute to the development of that character in the Negro which we of the white race have so often expressed a desire to see. It is to be hoped that state boards of education will take this view of the matter, and that the reader in the hands of Colbed school children described book. It would be an act of justice as well as of grace that would do much toward promoting interracial good-will." The North Carolina department of education has put one book of Nogro authorship—"Up (rom Slavery)," by Booker T. Washington—on the list of books recommended for reading by high school students of both races. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, APR. 8, 1921 M. B. President C. D. B. King of Liberty, accompanied by Judge F. E. R. Johnson and Dr. Mrs. Emmanuel J. Nofft attended morning service, at St. Luke Protestant Episcopal Church. The special party of distinguished visitors were in the solemn and impressive professional, taking specially reserved seats at the front of the church. Following the recessional, the audience remained standing until President King and party left the church. Laurence E. Murray, one of the progressive business men of Washington has gained an enviable position in the financial world by his ability to carefully guard and protect money entrusted to him. Consequently, he is treasurer of the National Mutual Improvement Association, the Pythian Hat Ass', and the Whiteclaw Apartment House Company. Willis Jackson, the "teacher" of Laddie Roy, the famous Ago of President Harding, was one of the most popular persons at the great Easter Egg Rolling on the White House Lawn. Laddie Roy enjoyed every minute of his holiday celebration, and was absolutely no "respecter of persons." Of the 40,000 kiddies who enjoyed the hospitality of President and Mrs. Hardings, a very good third were "burn." It is stated that the real reason the Wilisons denied the kiddies the age old, unique pleasure of Easter Egg Rolling was because they could not be happy with the sight of "All of God's children." The American Leader, Dr. Eason, of the Garvey Movement, was in Washington on his way to Cincinnati where a great drive for members is on. Dr. Eason will return here April 26 for the opening of the "Black House." He was accompanied by Dr. Liliane A. Francis, formerly of London, England, now of Philadelphia. The great national drive for 25,000 members was opened by the N. A. A. C. P. at the 19th Street Baptist Church. The speakers were Rev. W. Bargall and Dr. W. E. R. Dullois. The attendance was large, but the monetary responses were not in keeping. Rev. Bargall spoke on the show or organization. Dr. Dullois described his experiences of a recent tour, 7,200 miles, 3,000 of which was made in "Jim Crow Curs." Dr. Dullois claims that the "equal accommodations" campaign being carried on in southern states will eventually break down separate coach laws because railroads cannot bear the expense with profit. He described Oklahoma as the most resting place of the Negro problem in the United States." The young Colored American with his new racial consciousness, is meeting all the demands of civilization, declared Dr. Dullois. Frederick Doughtles was fond of children. The beautiful location in Anacostia, during his lifetime, was the scene of many happy hours for many children, many age from many places. There has recently been purchased adjoining this historic property, three acres of ground, with buildings, where the Children's Temperature Home has been mossed. This institution was founded in 1830 by Miss Susan Cook who still conducts the destiny of this splendid work of uplift for young boys who have made some little mistake. Scores of these boys are sent to Miss Cook's institution instead of the reformatory. Miss Cook states that one of her most cherished memories is a letter received from an A. E. P. sipher bar boy who had once been in her keeping. He wrote; "Tomorrow I go on the firing line; I do not know whether I will ever return. All the boys are writing home, and I am writing to you for years is all the home. I know." Miss Cook states that it is her ambition in the work to make the boys feel the home. Announcements of Federal Appointments are coming rather slow, according to the feeling of those who are marrying time until their name is called, but it is nevertheless counted on its certain that there will be a splendid group among the children, but certainly more to compete with the young handsome boy and the angelic boy. The Ku Klux Klan is very much to the public eye in these gambling days of Spring. A silly bunch these follows. They are not only dozing on the steps of the old stone Church but they are eating their soup with a fork. And they are SAVING AMERICA! How do I know? Have they not sworn that the "Klan" will see that all laws, whether local or national are upheld? Are they not also pledged to a rigid maintenance of white supremacy? Is it not also true that only white Americans can assume members of the organization? And do they not bar Roman Catholics and Jews from membership? I want to know who you could ask of a 100 per cent American society? In the light of orbits, current and otherwise I fully agree the 100 per cent American "suit" in very nearly one of the upstanding jokes of the period. It has been constituted thus by the shallow pates who have jolled themselves into the notion that they have been providentially ordained to save the country for God and Democracy. Is it not amazing how the bulk of the American elements in the language of the Latin Post Quintulius—Sand for this notice. Quintulius—Sand for this notice. Mr Taft sage advises the presences Mr. Goalige goes to Atlanta and nets Negro corps expand the home that have come to their kind from "Southern" with the White South. Singularly enough the "White South" voles of protest against the operations of the Ku Klux Klan has come out of the South. United States has viewed Virginia to combat the workings of this 100 per cent American organization and expresses the double "There are to be found in Lynchburg (his home town) many persons who are simple enough to respond to the invitation to waste their time and energies in anything so mischievous." But will this onward march of these Christian Soldiers? "Not so as you can notice it," responds Mr Johnson at the next desk. And Mr Johnson is overwhelming right in his intention. They won't stop because American clerics or any other right which of American calls a halt to their food habits. They have "invaded" Cali cities; they have "captured" New York City; in fact, "we have got the North by the gars," they bravely announce. In the meantime let us keep our eyes on our ears open and our hands doing the things which make for night and intelligent, citizenism. If are present in the doing of our duty to ourselves and the country, the Ku Klux Klan can extend its workings to the farthermost domains of hell for all we need to cure. Anaicos now belongs to the people. Through the unifying efforts of Mary B. Talbert and other Race loving women, the Home of the great Donglass is saved to the nation. Mrs. Talbert has done her duty well. Frederick Donglass is the GIANT of the Race in the United States of America. Beside him the "moment leaders" of this day and time are as grass at the foot of a high mountain. He was big—intellectually and spiritually naming place among the great fuges BIG—and he rightfully takes a comin in the history of the Republic. anaicos is our shrine. Let us preserve it in our love and maintain it at the highest level of our worthiest effort. Donglass must live. ELOSO HAIR GROWER A.

Alexis Among American men of letters there will soon appear the New Negro. He will be marked by an analytic proclivity directed with excruciating effect upon Christianity and democracy. His most irritating characteristic will be a desire to see, to know men, things, and movements as they are—free from the venter put upon them by an environment dominated by Christianity and democracy. If in his analysis, based upon the experiences of a people, those two concepts yield sufficient life to Negroes, this new man of powerful influence will rally to the cross and the flag that race of men known as devout to an ideal, loyal to a cause, and supple to influences of environment. If, however, he finds that those two concepts stand between the Negro and larger life, he will teach the brushing aside of Christianity and democracy for such new concepts as he, in the light of his American experienc, may evolve from his environment or as he may arise from the loud batterings of socialism, bolshevikism and anti-christianism. The most irresible weapon, offensive and defensive, of this new man of letters will be his humor, his ever poking fun at black Americans for their imporance in an environment from which other races of men have won so much and at white Americans for their inability to make their practice in religion, government, and life gibe to their vaunted theories. Compelled by the experience of the American Negro to the conclusions that neither is Christianity the last word in religion nor democracy the last word in forms of government, this new teacher, while wandering through the lost or neglected literature in Negro life, will chide with laughing frankness the weakness of a people whose language, religion, barbaric government, and mode of personal life will tell how the African dialect, fetishism, tribal life and tribal independence, gave way to the language, the religion, and the serifom of America. Yes, with feathers, non-lazarite humor, the New Negro will ask of Christianity and democracy why since the African Negro, even though by compulsion, surrenders so completely to them do they break down when black men seek the efficacity of their teetests. Involved in this questioning, which this New man will prompt among his own people, will be the passing of the dominion of white Americans over the thought of black Americans, a dominion which palatates 'veneers, and covers over the breaking down of those two master concepts. He will teach, preach, write, and sing of desirable human life as life not based on Christianity and democracy or at least as life not based upon Christianity and democracy as per the dictum of white Americans. Taught by the experience of Negroes in America that common language, common religion, common country does not, cannot bind black and white men in brotherhood, the New Negro as man of letters with his characteristic analytic proclivity will quickly grasp and glorify the conclusions compelled by the ways of white Americans; color transcends language, religion, democracy, and country taken singly or combined; men are eternally of two classes, white and black—master and man; Christian and democratic white Americans are determined to turkish the long, long future or that eternal division. SOLVING THE NEGRO PROBLEM The appointment of these commissions over the South, to study the relations between the races and to help bring them to equitable adjustment, is the most hopeful sign in fifty years of reaching a true solution of the Negro Problem. Fifty-five years ago the South BY FORCE was compelled to give up her slaves. Had the powerful logic of Clay, Webster and Calhoun been used upon the cryer subject of human slavery, this nation today need not be raping and wind of hate, because we force the South to do what she might have been WON to do. The day has passed for compromise. The work that Clay, Webster, and Calhoun failed to do lies before us. We need pass no more laws compelling the South to justice, that is not the wisest way. SENTIMENT IS STRONGER THAN LAW. The Inter-Racial Commissions must change sentiment. Today the hearts of not only the South, but of the average American is turned from the Negro by CALUMNY. A spirit of justice can only be won for limi by the TRUTH. The sword of truth is the only weapon given us by the Master. We have had two extreme wings of leadership. Those who would accept half a loaf rather than none at all. Under such guidance we will indeed lose all. Then we have the class who forget the words of Christ, "See that ye RESIST not evil." These would have us take an AX to white folk. Such a position is not psychological. Let us come down out of the clouds of torrid oratory upon the grounds of common sense and consider the real rounds up the ladder of race-building, and when we KNOW them, what power on earth can keep us from going up? There was an hour, just behind us, when every unit of the Race needed to hammer upon the gates of injustice, to wake the sleeping conscience of America. That work has been well done; but woe to the leader who does not now realize that this hour calls for more than agitation. America is awake to the realization that the Negro occupies the place of serf in this nation. Because she must, she stands waiting for SOLUTIONS of how to lift the Race to the statute of men: ARE WE READY WITH THEM. The hour has struck for the man who can only whine over the Negro's or the white man's wrongs. Leadership today calls for constructive men. Every problem must surpass to the mastery of wisdom and perseverance. Will the Interracial Commissions be equal to finding the key? The root of all this race trouble lies in the failure of the better type in both races to understand how to reach and lift the depraved classes of either race. As the higher types have failed to find solutions, the lower classes are trying to solve the Negro problem in their own iniquitous ways, to the shame of this great nation. The tragic picturesque South, desolated by war, and today enslaved by race hate! What more needful thing in this nation than that we try to understand her and that the South learn her fatal points of weakness. Since the war the coarse and unlightened white, has risen to political and commercial supremacy. Their only mental qualification being power to vilify the Negro. They are the answer for the unjust legislation of the South, rivaling the spirit of the Dark Ages. From the shock of civil strife, the loss of wealth and the errors of reconstruction, the true South has not yet recovered its former position of leadership. In the restoration of home and fortune, the most forceful characters of the best, South for a generation have neglected civic duty. The man in the Negro race who cannot see the problem in the light of this suffering has not the breadth for real leaderhip. Ignorance and error today alone temper with this, the nation's most dynamic problem, when the best minds of Anterica can solve it aright. Until the South grants to the Negro his blood bought rights, she shall not herself be free. The Associated Negro Press The Colored graduates were wonderful; they were bright and witty and showed a disposition to naturalness. But every one of the orations delivered by these graduates showed that the hands of their superiors had helped to shape them, and that those master hands had been guided more by consideration of that part of the audience which numbered fifty than by any regard of that part of the audience which numbered two thousand. This is a visible pity; it fettered the naturalness and curbed the power of these children. Finally the valedictorian, as a sort of star witness, came on with a carefully denatured oration on this subject: "Why America Should Be Proof of the Negro." The child was a good speaker; and has brains, but they had been clammed into narrow channels. We will give here from memory some of the points made in the speech, because they have stuck, not so much in our memory as in our crates. In the parenthesis we simply indicate our mental comment at the time. The orator summed up: "America should be proud of the Negro—— 1. 'Because he is not a revolutionist!' (George Washington and Thomas Jefferson!) 2. "Because he does not rebel!" (General Lee and Jefferson Davis) 3. "Because he is not an agitator!" (Susan B. Anthony and the Prohibitionists!) 4. "Because he believes in the goodness of labor!" (Thomas Edison and all other inventors, why try to make machines do the work!) 5. "Because he does not doubt or fret or worry!" (Robert Browning and Rabbi Ben Ezra!) 6. "Because she never believes in force!" (Woodrow Wilson and force force to the uttermost!) 8. "Because he lives by the sweat of his brow!" (Jews and Gentiles) 9. "Because he is not a radical!" (Jesus Christ!) And the President of the Schoolboard spoke approvingly, the Colored Principal looked safe, and the white fifty clapped and nodded undescentedly, and the Colored audience—talked for weeks after wards. THEY CAME TO SLAY A short while since, at Clyde, Georgia, Negro possessmen went to the town jail for the particular purpose to lynch one of their race who was charged with the crime of rape. A young Colored girl was the victim. Criminal violation of womanhood is met with summary punishment in the Southland. This punishment generally assumes theolo-dramatic aspects of a lynching bee. It was meet, therefore, that the Colored men of Clyde, Georgia, should visit the jail; take out the culprit, lead him to the nearest tree, and give him a quick passage to the land from whose bourne no traveller returns. It was a short step from resolution to action. To this was anly led the sensitively adjusted moral temper of the white citizens of Clyde. Lynching was the handy legal instrument brought out, burnished and oiled, in the common instances wherever Negroes were charged with the crime of rape by the whites all over Georgia. Logic being logic, what better thing to do than go to the jail, apprehend the culprit, then off to the nearest tree and "cut out" like white folks. But the better nature of the Race began to assert itself immediately following the giving over of the culprit to the outraged possessor by the equally sore-soled custodian of the due processes of law, the Sierifi. Someone in the crowd was foolhardy enough to suggest prayer as a fitting prelude to the main feature of the evening's program. Then it was that the gun missed fire. Prayer meant reflection, reflection suggested mercy, and mercy saved the culprit. The crime of rape, wherever it is, legally determined, should be followed by the extremest penalties provided by the law. Black and white should suffer alike, be the woman black kor white. 'And yet in the Clyde case we are more than glad that "They who came to slay me required to pray." Faith and work will yet save the nation. RENT REMEDY The question of rent has become a serious problem. Negroes in the big cities have been called upon to wrestle with its exactions and they have come out of the struggle much the worse for bettering and life racking wear. Suggestions for remedy have come fast and furious. Something of a solution presents itself in the organization of realty companies in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia and other large cities with the fixed purpose of providing their increasing Colored populations with adequate housing conditions. Still, the relief in this respect is not substantial. The shoe continues to pinch. Neither has the outright purchasing of residential property by individuals done very much to relieve the high rent pressure. "The Exodus" was sudden, overwhelming, convincing. It squeezed the good nature out of communities that hitherto were not unkindly disposed toward our race. The results were that rents and sour nature went skyward and sullenly refused to budge from the heights. But, incidentally, a remedy of some sort must be offered in the hope that this really heavy burden may be lifted from the economic shoulders of the Race in the large cities. More, the social preconceptions of many places are being strained to the breaking point and untoward friction has assumed sinister aspects as a resultant. Hence, the more immediate need for a remedy that will work. The purchasing of suburban sites and the erection thereon of reasonably priced and comfortable homes with pleasant surroundings must help to settle the difficulty. Complaint is various and vexing of the evil effects of crowded living conditions prevailing in the large cities among the Colored elements. This would be a step this side of "Back-to-the-farm" pleas and yet would be close enough to the healthier cultural influences of large city life to make life heartable by the following amongst us, who have a deep-rooted aversion to living in the woods. Anyhow a plan like the one we are offering, would reduce rents because it would reduce the demand for houses for our people in the congested districts of the big cities.
