BLOODY RECORD OFKUKLUXKLAN Comes Under The Guise Of Lofty Ideals, But Their Record Shows Them To Be A Blood Thirsty Gang Of Mob Murderers Using Race Prejudice As Their Entering Wedge To Do Their Dirty Work. Condemned By Chief O'Brien Of This City, Citizens And The Press As Breeders Of Race Prejudice. Awakened as we were, one day last week, we found ourselves face to face with a new order of things for St. Louis. A mysterious body of law enforcers who work only under the shadow of darkness and lurk in dead hours of midnight has come to us and publicly announced that they are ready for business. Ready to take law enforcement out of the hands of the local constituted authorities and put such power in the hands of their self appointed mobs. In announcing their presence here, the Grand Goblin of this Klan said it was not the organization of fifty years ago, which had for its purposes murder, arson, terrorism, intimidation and many other barbaric practices; but that it had more lofty purposes. No one will believe these statements. Facts do not justify them. The work of the Klan is too well known. One of the claims of the Ku-Klux-Klan is, that in their membership are senators, governors, judges, sheriffs, chiefs of police by the hundreds. This may be true. In fact, we know there are thousands of such men who have no respect for their oaths of office. They owe their allegiance to the Ku-Klux-Klan. For that very reason, in most crises, these enforcement officers join the mob; because their gang make-up the mobs. What the promoters of the Klan want is, to get the country under their rule. It is a Southern practice and propaganda that is being carried on in all parts of the country. If there are those who do not know of the K-Klux-Klan and its dirty work, we submit a few cases in which the Klan is charged with using its "lofty ideals:" ALEXANDER JOHNSON—NEGRO BRANDED An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL.

Ordinarily, if per chance a man was seen going down the streets of a civilized country with some mysterious brand upon his forehead, spectators would follow him a country block, declaring all the while that he was from some heathen land. One's mind would be upon the jungles of Africa. The heathen nation would be foremost in one's mind. But, dear reader, your mind may rest when you think of Texas—right here in America, right here where the boast of civilization is proclaimed upon the housetop.—The work of the Ku-Klux-Klan. Lawyer Tarred and Feathered. A prominent white lawyer of the same city was a short while ago kidnapped, severely beaten, tarred and feathered, brought to the main part of the city and released naked on the streets by Ku Klux Klan. Dentist Castrated. Dr. Lafayette Cockrell, Colored dentist was taken from an automobile with his wife at Houston, Texas, a short while ago, spirited away and brutally operated upon with a pocket knife by the K. K. K., and left to die. A Doctor Tarred and Feathered. At Beaumont, Texas, May 9th, Dr. J. S. Paul, white, 55 years old, 20 years a resident of that city was kidnapped spirited away, beaten until blood flowed from his wounds, then a coat of tar and feathers administered by the K. K. K., and returned to the heart of the city and dumped into the streets. In the above cases newspaper men have been taken along by the Klan so their defiance of law and order might be published. Many Other Cases, Reported. The Negro press has reported many other minor cases, threats, postings of warnings, intimidations, bombings, burnings and lynchings that have been charged to the Ku Klux Klan. In Governor Dorsey's Report. A white man in this county received the following notice in January, 1921: NOTICE "To Mr. ..... you had better keep Negroes out of this house of yours, if you don't everything you have got will be burned down to the ground. Negroes were being worked on a railroad in this county. A small mob visited the camp in February, 1921. They notified the white foreman and the Negroes that if they continued to work, while whites men wanted jobs, they would be mobbed. A number of the Negroes were frightened away. The sheriff of the county protests that there was no danger. This occurred January, 1921. December 31, 1920, a Negro living in this county was taken from his home and badly beaten. The same month, small coffins grusely painted with a skull and cross bones, were left on the porches of two Negro homes. January, 1921, Negroes in one district of this county were notified that no Negroes would be permitted to remain in that district. At 2 a. m., January 12, a Negro living in this district was called from his bed by unknown parties. They asked him if he had made threats against the Ko Kiu Kiu Man. He answered "no." He was informed that he would be given until Saturday night to leave the district; that if he did not leave there would probably be war against him. They asked him if he had not the proper man to house and maintain the Negroes. The St. Louis Argus ted to remain in the district. Firing two shots in the air, the parties left. The above will give the public an idea to just how far into the depth Ku Klux Klan delves into the depth of crime to carry out their purposes. What Others Say of the K. K. K. Ex-Governor Bieket of N. C. "In this free country the message that cannot be proclaimed from the housetop ought not to be heard by a loyal American citizen. The Ku Klux Klan believes in the whisper and that is one of the reasons why, when the strong man from Texas tried to establish the Ku Klux in North Carolina, I rose up and hit it with all my might and drove it from our borders. Chief of Police Martin O'Brien. Chief of Police O'Brien, in assigning eight detectives to make a right inquiry, said the department meant to establish whether murderers might roam the city's streets like Ku Klux Klansmen and kill witnesses at their will. Associated Negro Press In one Southern city, well known thru-out the nation, where the Ku Klux sought to terrorize the community because of the mere alleged attack of a Negro upon a white woman, and the Klux called for "all red blooded Americans" to meet at a certain point at a certain hour to wipe out the Negroes, there was one of the biggest fires in the business district that was ever seen there. The fire occurred at the "appointed hour" and detracted attention from the proposed event. The N. A. A. C. P. These flagrant violations of the laws has been extended even up to the presidential election of 1920 this same Ku Klux Klan went on record as preventing colored people from voting in the States of Georgia and Florida by intimidations and even by violence. It should be observed that the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan is in Atlanta Ga. Georgia the state where the laws for the protection of the rights of all of the people are seldom obeyed or held. "Ku Klux Klan" in St. Louis. Some high-sounding ideals are alleged to be basic principles of the "Ku Klux Klan" by the organizer, who admits that he is putting a branch of his society into St. Louis. But why need patriotism be forwarded in secrecy? Why should Americanism be considered a virtue to be taught under cover? What is there among all of the repeated fine conceptions of the "Ku Klux Klan" which cannot be better served in the open than through mysterious and cathouse methods?

ORPHAN HOME MAY DAY BIG SUCCESS One of the largest gatherings of our group that ever assembled in the city of St. Louis, assembled on last Sunday afternoon at the Ground Breaking of the New Orphans Home at Goode and Cottage Avenues. At the wonderful sights which was seen on the day was the unusual fine demonstration pat on by the Grand Lodge of Masons. The Orphans Home Ground Breaking as viewed by the Argus Reporter was a success in every way. From the number who attended to witness the ceremony, from the number who worked in the booths, selling the refreshments and from the public who helped to make the program a success, it can be easily judged that the city of St. Louis was behind the movement to secure a Home for our Orphans. Mrs. Annie E. Malone, President of the Home, gave out the following statement, "The Board of Managers is deeply grateful to the public for its unstinted support. We cleared $500.00 over our expenses. $450.00 came in for the Building Fund, this amount will undoubtedly be $500.00 when all of the committeemeet report. We cannot be too grateful to the many friends and workers for this deep interest in the little orphans in our city. All of the friends and workers of the Orphan Home will meet Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Pine St. Department Y. M. C. A., to hear the final reports and to add to the offering.

He will have charge of fraudulent claims against the Government in matters connected with his own race. The salary is $5000 a year. Howard is president of the National Negro Bar Association and was secretary in charge of Republi- NEGROES PROTEST TO GOV. HYDE AGAINST LYNCHINGS NEGROES PROTEHYDE AGAINST EDITOR J. E. MITCHELL Who Presented A Representative Group of Race Leaders to Governor Hyde last Saturday, in protest against lynchings. EX-CONVICT IS INDICTED FOR PILLOW MURDER Thomas McAnliffe, 1424½, Francis street and Leo Casey, 2716 Howard, were indicted by the Grand Jury Tuesday for the murder, Monday night May 9, of Erris Pillow, Colored messenger for the North St. Louis Trust Co. The Coroners jury, on Wednesday named these two men in the verdict and released three other men who had been held for eight days without bond. McAnliffe is a former convict and Casey a police character who has been arrested 55 times since 1916. Witnesses' Names Secret It is said that McAnliffe is charged with being the one who shot Pillow. The names of the witnesses were not given, and the indicted men were not taken to the inquest. They are held at the Sonland Street Station, Capt. Kirk said of them merely that they were "in custody." This procedure is unusual, and was followed only because the police are dealing in the Pillow investigation, with desperate gunmen, who showed by the murder of Pillow, that they would not hesitate to kill witnesses. To prevent any repetition of the murderous tactics used on Pillow, the police and the Circuit Attorney intend to keep secret, as much long as possible the names of the witnesses on whose testimony McAnliffe and Casey were indicted, and who are expected to testify against them eventually in court. Capt. Kirk said, in his testimony, that a third man, who drove the automobile in which the sirens of Pillow rode, had not been apprehended. Chief of Police O'Brien said, after an examination of the evidence obtained against McAuliffe and Casey, that he considered the police had "cleaned up" the case, except that the third man is still to be found. According to the Circuit Attorney the testimony on which McAuliffe and Casey were indicted was to the effect that they both got out of the automobile, and that McAuliffe shot Pillow, and that they then left in the machine. One witness in the inquest said that only one man got out of the car, but others said there were two and Pillow was quoted as having said he was shot by "two white men." The Circuit Attorney said it was learned that the automobile was not a rented one. Reward Reaches $11,200 he reward offered for the arrest and (Continued on Page 6) Negro Business League To Hold Important Meeting A special meeting of the St. Louis Negro Business League is called for Thursday, May 28, 8 p. m., at A.

VETERAN NEWSPAPER MAN DIES AT PHILA. Special To The Argus PHILADELPHIA, May 18. — Christopher J. Perry, Sr. owner and publisher of The Philadelphia Tribune died on Sunday May 15th, at 3000 at his late residence 1319 So. 51st street, Philadelphia, Pa. Until recent years Mr. Perry was active in politics, having served as a member of the Common Council from the 7th Ward for 18 years, appointed A Square Deal For Every Man PRICE 5 CENTS Delegation Of Representative Men And Women From Different Parts Of State Urge Governor To Recommend Remedial Legislation. EDITOR J. E. MITCHELL LEADS DELEGATION Members Of The Race Cordially Received By Governor And Lieut. Governor Who Pledge Sympathetic Consideration Of Their Grievances. The Grand Jury report on the litching of Roy Hammond at Bowling Green a few weeks ago is by no means a closed issue if one is to judge by the feelings of the Negroes of the State. So keenly has been their interest in this case until it has been manifested by a declaration of the Leading Colored citizens of the State who called upon Governor Hyde last Saturday and laid before him and urged the Governor to act in the premises. Each member of the delegation was introduced to the Governor and Lieut. Governor by J. E. Mitchell, editor St. Louis Argus, who had previously made arrangements with the Governor. At the appointed hour Governor Hyde and Lieut. Governor Hiram Lloyd received their visitors cordially. In presenting the delegation Editor Mitchell, after thanking the Governor for an audience with him said: "We have asked for this audience to lay before you a matter which is near and dear to our hearts. On account of the recent lynching at Bowling Green, and the subsequent grand jury report in the case, we feel that the State has been outlawed and we have been grievously wronged. "As a protest against such wrong, a meeting of the St. Louis Branch National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was held at the Metropolitan Church last Sunday and a committee was appointed to present a set of resolutions to his Honor touching on this subject. The purpose is of such this delegation from the different parts of the State is here. I will, therefore present to you Governor and Lieut. Governor, Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn who will present the resolutions." "Attorney Vaughn said: "This delegation of representative Colored men and women from various parts of the State of Missouri, represent organizations whose membership numbers many thousands of law-abiding Colored people of the State of Missouri, and they have come in dead earnest at the request of these persons to discuss with the Governor of this great State the question of lynching and to advise with him over some plans to wipe out the evil and to make some requests of him." He pointed out the fact that eighty-five persons had been lynched in Missouri in the last thirty-five years and that four persons had been lynched in 1919, two of whom were white people and that one of them had been taken from the judge's chamber by a mob and hanged and that nobody had been punished for the offense. At this point the Governor interrupted to say that it was his opinion that a large number of the persons who were before the Grand Jury were members of the mob that they had lied out of the matter. Resuming, Mr. Vaughn said: "I quiet agree with the Governor and the fact that such is the case makes it necessary for some special machinery of law to be enacted to handle mob situations. These matters cannot be left in the hands of local authorities. The Governor of the State should have the power to remove forthwith any and all officers who fail to do their duty and the Attorney General should be given charge of the prosecution in such cases." He then urged the Governor to include in his call of the special session of the Legislature the subject of lynching for the consideration of that body, and asked that trained investigators be put on the case at Bowling Green and that a reward be offered for the arrest and conviction of the members of the moh. He pointed out the fact that Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and several other States had enacted anti-lynching laws. Responses were made by Governor Hyde and Lieut. Governor Hirum Lloyd, both of whom thanked the committee for calling and assured them that a sympathetic consideration would be given their plea and added "Your friends are on the ground." Those who heard the Governor and the Lieut. Governor were very much impressed with the sincerity of their remarks. There was twenty in the delegation as follows: St. Louis, Rev. T. J. Moppins, Rev. C. A. Williams, Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, Chas. M. Maker, Mra. Spencer Packard and J. E. Mitchell, Sedalia: J. J. Heed and Mr. Valentine Columbia: Rev. J. Lyle Caston, Booneville: Prof. C. G.

Society AND LOCAL NOTES The Le Cenq Cent club Invitation Spring Dance on Thursday of the past week at the Pythian Hall, was quite a brilliant social function; at which many guests were present. The auditorium was beautifully decorated in bright colors for the occasion in keeping with Spring. The numerous events of the season may now be described as, just one smart dance after another, but the spirit of this affair showed an unusual whole-hearted enjoyment. The hospitality of this club has won a popular acclaim equal in social rank with others that have enjoyed years of favoritism on the social calendar and if the members respond to insistent applause their courtesy will be repeated in a Le Cenq Cent Mid-summer special.

IN MEMORIAM In loving and fond remembrance of our darling sister, Esmeralda Williams (Nee Whiteside) who departed this life one year ago today, May 21, 1920. Surrounded by friends we are lone- some, In the midst of our pleasures we are blue; A smile on our face still a heartache Aching and longing for you. There are griefs that cannot find comfort. And wounds that cannot be healed; There are sorrows so deep in the hu- man heart, That cannot be half revealed. If we had seen you at the last, And held your darling hand; And heard the last sigh from your heart, We would not feel so bad. We did not know the pains you had, We did not see you die; We only know you went away, And never said goodbye. Heaven now retains our treasure, Earth the barren casket keeps; Lonely hearts will always linger; Where our loving sister sleeps. Sadly missed by Sisters, Brothers, Daughter. Husband and all who loved her. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dear sister Emeralda Williams, who departed this life one year ago May 21, 1920 When sorrow comes, as come it must. In God alone we must place our trust; There is no power in mortal speech, The anguish of our soul to reach. No voice however sweet and low, Can comfort us or ease the blew; We cannot from our fellowmen. Take strength that will sustain us then. With all that kindly hands will do, And all that love may offer too; We must believe through the test, That God has willed it for the best. Sadly missed by Bessie Mayhew and Alice Whiteside, sisters; Sam Patterson, brother; New York City. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear husband, Jas, W. Littlefield, who departed this life one year ago, May 20, 1920. YPon air gone but not forgotten, Nor shall you ever be; As long as life and memory last, I shall remember thee If I had seen you at the last, And held your dying hand; And heard the last sigh from your heart, I would not feel so bad. I did not know the pains you had. I did not see you die; I only knew you went away, And never said goodbye. Sadly missed by Virginia H. Littlefield, wife and mother. IN MEMORIAM In sad and loving memory of our darling father, Henry Harrison, who departed this life one year ago, May 19. A loving father true and kind, No friend on earth like him we'll find; God called him home, it was his will. But in our hearts he lingers still. For all of us he did his best, May God grant him eternal rest. Sadly missed by DAUGHTERS AND SON IN MEMORIAM once for lily.

CINEMADEL, OHIO BOOKER WASHINGTON Do Do Green And Company PAGE FOUR "Hello Sue"; the musical comedy being presented by Sandy Burns and Company, at The Booker Washington Theatre this week; is 'bright, speedy and full of snap. Like the previous offering, it is original and bristles with humorous complications. The opening scene, showing a part of New York City at night, is rather elaborate, out of the ordinary for small companies. The curtain rises on a lively song and dance number by the entire company. This is followed by Burns who speedily contrives to get himself into prison. The scene shifts to Blue Island Penitentiary where the humorous doings of Burns and Manley as "Ashes" and "The Dummy" are a constant source of laughter. Their side splitting comedy reaches a high pitch later when they win their freedom to "sit up" with a dead man in a cemetery. There are several artistic song and dance numbers. The female quartette rendering, "When The Moon Swings Low", is a decided feature. Sweetie May and Bonnie Belle Drew appear in song sketches, supported by the company; Misses May and Spencer make a hit with the "Boula, Boula Dance", and Terry Williams sings a lullaby effectively. The chorus work is harmonious throughout and the dance numbers are neatly costumed. The engagement closes Sunday night. DO DO GREEN NEXT Do Do Green and a company of fun- makers, with plenty of Jazz will open at The Booker Washington Theatre Monday night.

Not Consistent With Facts for the benefit of our readers we are publishing a usman which appeared in The Peoples Forum of 15 May 16. less that of all defenses offered for any cause. thus we have ever heard or read. It truly remind the fellow who is yelling thief ! thief ! and at the sa away with the goods. The letter: Below, for the benefit of our readers we are publishing a letter from a Clansman which appeared in The Peoples Forum of The St. Louis Times, May 16. We confess that of all defenses offered for any cause, this is the most fabricious we have ever heard or read. It truly reminds us of the story of the fellow who is yelling thief! thief!! and at the same time trying to get away with the goods. The letter: WORD FROM A KLANSMAN ST. LOUIS, May 16.—In your issue of May 10, I note a statement from Chief of Police O'Brien of St. Louis in connection with the murder of Erris Pillow, Negro bank messenger, and which in substance states that assassination by gunmen in this city must cease, and that citizens cannot be shot down by assassins like the Ku-Klux-Klansmen. As a Klansman in St. Louis and as a true American who believes just as sincerely in upholding the law as does Chief O'Brien I feel called upon to answer this veiled charge against the most thoroughly American order in existence today. The Ku-Klux-Klan is in St. Louis and is in every State in the nation to defend enforce and preserve the Constitution and the constitutional laws of the great republic. It is the hand-maiden, if you please, composed of sterling upstanding, 100 per cent Americans working with the constituted authorities national, State and municipal, in the enforcement of law. Senators, governors, judges- sheriffs and chiefs of police are enrolled by the hundreds in our membership. police are enrolled by the hundreds in our membership. We are here as apostles of true Americanism, to see that the principles of Washington, Jefferson and Franklin and all of the founders of this great nation are kept inviolate and intact, and that by socalled social equality the pure Caucasian blood which, by grim endurance and masterful endeavor, wrought the noble institutions which are our heritage and the cynosure of the world are not degenerated and impugned by a miscegenation that can only result in a few generations in an America "whose glory has departed." Sanely, constructively and thoughtfully we are facing the problems of America. We stand man to man opposed to Bolshevism and all of the hideous isms that foreigners would introduce among our people. We are opposed relentlessly to lynching and violence and every form of lawlessness. We stand for everything for which Chief O'Brien took his solemn oath of office and we are charitable enough as a real Christian organization to believe that Chief O'Brien has indirectly attacked a real uplifting nation-wide organization of which he knows not the true merits, and that were he to realize what a tremendous force is here in St. Louis for civic uplift and intensified Americanism he would gladly embrace our creed. The Ku-Klux-Klan stands ready man to man to run down the assassins of Erris Pillow. Had there been a Ku-Klux-Klan in Bowling Green the lynching blot would not today appear upon the fair escutheon of Missouri. Yours for America. —A ST. LOUIS KLANSMAN The Bowling Green Water-Haul familiar with the attitude of witnesses in local investigations, the barren result of the inquiry into the mob, the Green is not surprising. What else is reasonably reasonable community where the bonds of blood relationships where the grand jury itself might contain one or more mob, where the fear of reprisal runs high and we at largely condones such crimes as murder of Ned with certain vicious offenses? ope that Gov. Hyde will not let the matter drop. the offenders he can at least indicate to Pike County. the State against the blot upon it by removing the slaughter throughout was not heroic, to say the least. There is no attempt to defend the prisoner entrusted to a vicious excuse that even if he had killed a few men could not have saved the Negro. It is not on record used to shoot. Why do they arm sheriffs in Pike County? To these familiar with the attitude of witnesses in local investigations of lynchings, the barren result of the inquiry into the mob murder at Boyling Green is not surprising. What else is reasonably to be expected in a community where the bonds of blood relationship are all-pervading, where the grand jury itself might contain one or more members of the mob, where the fear of reprisal runs high and where public sentiment largely condones such crimes as murder of Negro captives charged with certain vicious offenses?

We, the undersigned, unite our hearts together and send you all some words of consolation to let you all know that your son, Flimuel F. Berry, whom the monster, death claimed just a few days ago is missed very, very much. Not only by you but by all who were acquainted with him here in St. Louis, Mo. Hardly could we ourselves believe our own eyes, the call was so sudden, but if we had, had in our power the course of death, and the nature of the disease from which he fell, we would have told them the words that Nehemiah, the Prophet told his enemies, that he is doing a good work and cannot come down. But as we did not, we too, had to bow our heads and cry and prepare to meet him bye and bye. Mr. F. Berry was an indulious young man and grasped opportunity as they presented themselves for about 8 years or more he served as mail carrier at Moscow. Ark., also ran a business of his own until he came to this City (St. Louis, Mo.), where for 2 years or more he was employed in the 18th Street Post Office and also running a business of his own at 2739 Franklin avenue; but now he has run the race and all we can say is: "The month of May took him away, and laid him away to rest." We all loved him that you know. But God loved him the best." Compliments of: Mr. D. L. William and Family Mr. N. E. Pleasant and Family Mr. M. R. Rodgers and Family Mr. W. Parker and Family Mr. O.

Bloody Record Of The Ku Klux Klan Bloody Record Of The Ku Klux Klan Continued From Page One these three factors along other undertakings laboring along similar above-board methods, have achieved It can work much alarm, however, by using these splendid ideals as a cloak for bringing about a reign-of-terrorism, in achieving very different purposes. Everybody understands that the wish of the "Klan" is to increase race prejudice; to frighten the black man. Such a course can be called by any number of sweet-sounding names, but it remains a project at taking over the functions of the American courts. It is an obviously cowardly effort at enforcing Judge Lynch's rule. St. Louis has no need of such a movement in its life—for any object whatever. This city demands obedience to law by everyone—gangsters and peaceful citizens alike. It does not expect to bring about justice through secret organizations working behind masks and mystery-| feeding regalia. St. Louis has in the past served the ends of good morals through her legally constituted courts, conducted by duly chosen authority. There is no need, nor is there much thought of departing from this line of conduct. Those who may momentarily plan, or carelessly suggest other methods, are adding to the menaces which lawlessness represent. There is no room for "Ku Klux Klan" activities in any community holding to these plain principles of law and order.

But for the life of us, we don't see where there is anything mysterious about the purpose of the Ku Klux Klan. Its path is strewn with deeds as black as the darkest days of heathenism. As the St. Louis Times has well said, "Everybody understands that the wish of the "Klan" is to increase race prejudice. God knows that America is already cursed almost to its undoing by race prejudice. Which is after all, the cause of lynchings, race riots, hatred, injustices, discriminations and many other evil practices. The real purpose of the Klan being to excite race prejudice, the regular constituted officers of the law, should take charge of their affairs in St. Louis at once. The Grand "Gobber" should be told to "move on", and if life is slow, a little force should be gently applied, march him down to Eads Bridge and point to the East with a police club and made to "go." MO. NEGRO REP. LEAGUE CLUB MO. NEGRO REP. LEAGUE CLUB ENDORSES REV MOSELEY ENDORSEE REV. MOSELEY The Missouri Negro Republican League Club met at their new and permanent headquarters 3434 Market street, last Monday night, with a large and enthusiastic attendance. Twenty five new members were received by the club. Devotional and dedicatory exercises were conducted by Rev. Jones. Editor J. E. Mitchell then made a brief address on the political status of the Negro, which met the hearty approval of everybody present. The editor is right in his prediction that the new Missouri Club will continue to fight for uniformed Negro police, elective Negro officers, Negroes on juries, and Negroes in party councils. The new Missouri Club, as the political representative of the mass of Negro voters in St. Louis, serves notice from this day on, they will no longer tolerate the dictation of individual "big negroes" who imagine they represent somebody or something. The club considers as fundamental and inalienable the right of the people to be board on any public question, and the voice of the people can only be expressed through organization and mass action. Rev. S. A. Moseley of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, made a short and brilliant talk on the issues of the day. Rev. Moseley was given the unanimous endorsement of the club for U.S. Prohibition Deputy Inspector. Every since coming to the City he has been a member of the club, and last year endorsed by the club, and with their active assistance was elected by the 12th Dst. Congressional convention as a delegate to the National Republican Convention at Chicago, where he was one of the original Harding men. He was the first Negro delegate ever sent to a National convention from the State of Missouri.

Takes Friends By Surprise That the monotony of the printing presses work no fear for Cupid, was made known a few days ago, when it was learned that John C. Thomas and Miss Flora V. Dixon were quietly married, May 8. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are pressfeeders in the printing department of The St. Louis Argus Publishing Company. As a rule, all that could be heard in the pressroom was the monotony of one or two of the four job presses in that department. But some of the help who observe things closely, frequently reported that there was something unusual about Mr. "Clisby's" (Thomas)' actions that he never allowed Miss Dixon to perform the ordinary duties, but preferred doing them himself. And it is said, he was unusually polite to this particular helper. No one however, looked upon the matter seriously because it was thought that there was so much "devil's" ink in the shop until Cupid would be afraid to enter. But Cupid foiled all of them. And in order to prove that its work was well done and to show that it's arrow had struck a bleeding heart Rev. C. A. Williams pastor of St. Paul was called to blind those hearts together. And now The Argus force, its rejoicing with the young couple, and we all understand why "Mr. Clysbry" was so polite to Miss Dixon. They both are still with the Argus and the printing department seems as though it could not get along without them. The couple is now residing at their newly furnished flat. 4239a West Belle Place. It is now rumored around the office that the "rice gang" is preparing to give them a "fright."

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS OF AMERICA, INC. SIXTH ANNUAL SESSION, MAY 4, 5. AND 6, 1921, WASHINGTON, D. C. We come to you today, bearing the aspirations of 12,000,000 of God-fearing American citizens of unquestioned loyalty. Our group, suffering from traditional civil, social, and industrial handicaps, as well as a striking difference in racial type, is compelled to resort to the constitutional right of petition as long as unrighted wrongs, unrequited toll, unmasked lawlessness, and uneven justice stain the flag and dim the glory of democracy. The Colored Americans have grievances they have been bearing for three hundred years, with a patience as admirable as the example of Job: get with a hope big with expectancy. Our patience is made perfect in weakness, and our hope keeps alive from yearning desire. Mr. President, heartened by your manifest intention to serve all the people, we present this petition with an expression of profoundest gratitude for your splendid words against lynching and your recommendation to create an Interracial Commissino. You have gone further than your predecessors in recognizing the crying for need for readjustment of race relations in the interest of peace and progress, patriotism and brotherhood. The burden of our petition is: Equality of opportunity as well as equality of responsibility. We ask nothing of others we are not willing to give to others. Mr. President, there are many things we need, but we come to specify a few that we desire above all others. Mr. President, we complain of the following: 1. Lawlessness manifested in lynching, riots, peonage, and discrimination in the administration of justice. 2. Unjust restriction of suffrage. 3. The direct violation of the Constitution in the transportation of interstate passengers. 4. The un-American practice of discrimination and segregation on account of color in the Government Department in Washington. We petition you to do your utmost to bring about such a readjustment of election laws and practices as will safeguard the suffrage and guarantee to every man and woman in America the free and untrammeled use of the ballot for protection and for the registering of free majority opinion on all matters pertaining to the public good. Under the present system many people, white and colored, do not vote, but the public sentiment or the intimidation that keeps many colored people from voting is a shur on our American ideals and a menacing bid for disorder and revolution. We respectfully call attention to the fact that partial justice in any section of our country has an unwholesome reaction in other sections of our country. If the South is permitted to continue to offset the votes of the North by counting the Negro in, to get a basis of representation, and counting him out to keep all representation in the hands of the white group, it is easy to see that partial justice to blacks in the South becomes whole injustice to whites in the North. Hence the demand to reduce southern representation in Congress. Further we would suggest that if we were able to vote racially and representation in Congress were based on racial groups, the population of the colored people, would entitle them to approximately fifty members of Congress. If one were to ask why the colored people did not, in some districts at least, exercise the suffrage for their general good, the answer is: Lack of intelligent organization on the part of the colored people due to intimidation and force on the part of the advocates of white supremacy. Now women are voters the problem is more complex. The citizen is sovereign in a democracy only when the Government protects the weakest against the strongest. We congratulate you that the Department of Justice is doing its duty to uncover the wrongs of peonage—the modern form of slavery, which, by the way, is as old as the slave system. But, Mr. President, we call attention to conditions existing in the Department of Justice here; and we respectfully ask that an investigation be made with a view to banishing all difference based upon race or color in all the departments of Government. Not only in the Department of Justice, but in many other departments right here under the shadow of the Capitol, the heads or chiefs or officious subordinates are practicing forms of race prejudice that are as mean in spirit as peonage in Georgia. We commend the Postmaster General and the Secretary of the Treasury for causing to be removed obnoxious signs of race differences in their departments. Our petition carries with it a wish for your kindly influence in naming men to office who will regard higher their oath to support the Constitution, regardless of color. We petition you to inform the Congress of the United States that educational privilege is not equal to black and white alike in the South, The St. Louis Argus DO YOU WANT A Bigger And Better Paper? Trade With The Advertisers in 'The Argus and never can be without Federal Supervision. We therefore endorse the Smith-Towner bill, provided it is so amended as to avoid any inequality in the distribution of its benefits. We express our sincere appreciation for your just plea in behalf of Haiti prior to your election, and dare to express the hope that your good offices will not cease until Haiti is a free and happy people. We also sympathize with the Liberian Commission in their appeal to our Government for a loan to assist them in the development of their hopeful Republic. As patriotic American citizens, we still love Africa and pray your deepest interest in its development. We heartily concur in your lofty sentiments regarding the value of the home in the life of our Nation, because in this particular regard we are the most needy of all people. Finally, as members of the National Race Congress of America, Inc., we, with deep and earnest devotion to our vast and glorious country, pledge to you our loyal support, because we believe in your strong Americanism, your splendid idols, and your passions for righteousness.

NEW YORK, May 18—Refusal to comply with an order to discharge its Negro employees and discontinue their employment in its offices has forced "The World Tommorow" to move its quarters from 118 East 28th street to 106 Lexington avenue. The order came from the owners of the 28th St. building. In a public statement to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of the situation, the editors of "The World Tommorow" say: "We should have refused such a demand on principle, but in addition we are proud of the fact that one of the most faithful of our office force is a Colored woman. That her face should be discriminated against in more than one office building in New York City is a practical denial of the fundamental principles of brotherhood and Christianity." WOMAN NOT INDICTED FOR MURDER OF MAN ASSOCIATED NERO PRESS DAYTONA. Fin.. May 18.—The grand jury in session at Deland has found no true bill in the charge of murder lodged against Gussie Nero, a Daytona woman.

Gussie Nero, last November, was alleged to have buried an axe in the head of her spouse during an altercation and has been out on bail since that time. JOHNSON TO CONTROL MINOR APPOINTMENTS IN STATE OF GEORGIA Associated Negro Press. ATLANTA, Ga., May 18.—By order of the Harding administration promulgation by the postoffice department, all eligibles for appointment to postmasterships in Georgia and all eligibles for appointment to rural mail carrier positions in Georgia, those constituting the bulk of the federal patronage in that and all other states of the Union, will in the future be referred directly and only to Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro Republican national committee from that state. While the order has not yet been issued as to gin liquorators, whose appointments we made thus the department of commerce it is understood that they will take the same course. This action settles definitely the policy of the administration as to the minor appointments in Georgia. DISCRIMINATIONS HAVE A BIG HOLD ON WASHINGTON Officials Favoring Square Deal For Negroes Find Many Obstacles In Their Effort To Overcome The Southern Idea Born During Wilson Regime. The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, May 11.—Color-prejudice ramifications in Washington afford a startling and sickening study Governmental departments are honey-combed with petty, insincible and un-American, bold-faced discriminations—albeit, there are occasions where it is sought to cover up the real menace with ostrich-like camouflage. Reheating these conditions. The Associated Negro Press feels that a public duty is being performed, in as much as there is universal hope that many of the conditions will be corrected under the new administration. Washington, as the nation's capital, should set the example for the rest of the country in American principles. The Southern idea of "dealing with the Negro" has had an eight year sway, and the most has been made of the time. These practices have been so effective that there is not a single theatre in Washington where Colored people may go, except those conducted exclusively for the Race, or where persons who can "pass" run the gannetet. The same brand of prejudice is nation-wide in effectiveness, for the city is made up with people from everywhere, who not only write back home, but who go back from time to time telling the folks "how we treat 'em in D.C." It a fine little game of "black man." Civil Service Department The keystone of governmental discrimination is the Civil Service department. They have worked the scheme out there to a "frack-sicklin" as they say in Indiana—meaning the "umpteenth" part of a fraction. It starts with the examinations, where it has been demonstrated that the lowest possible grades are given Colored applicants, especially in spelling and writing. And yet, the records bear witness that even with handicaps, Colored applicants make a higher average than the majority of whites. The nefarious Wilson executive order system of compelling applicants to be photographed, is another part of the program which is wholly out of harmony with civil service ideals, and should be abolished. Notwithstanding this prima facia method, hundreds of applicants are certified for various positions, only to find when they put in an appearance that "the place has just been filled." During war times there were large numbers of pathetic instances where both men and women came to the city from long distances, only to find the door closed in their faces. Each of the various burcares have what is known as a "Chief clerk" and an "appointment clerk". These are the goats, and are the ones who do the dirty work. In the matter of appointments, but it could not be carried on successfully without the endorsement of the "man on top". Take a specific case in point that happened recently in the department of Commerce, under Secretary Hoover It is stated that a young Colored man was sent personally by the Secretary to the appointment clerk with the instructions that he be placed, he having been certified by the Civil Service. The autocratic appointment clerk informed the young man that "There is a clerkship, but you would have to work among whites, and the best I can do now is place you on as a messenger." Can you beat that for nerve? There are hundreds of cases like it. There are hundreds of persons in Washington departments who are capable of being chiefs; who frequently have more ability than their so-called chiefs, and are called upon to perform his duties, and yet they are not permitted to advance. There are scores of messengers, college graduates, who are hunging on with the hope that time will some day give them a chance to measure up. Young women are compelled to battle with equal force and determination for an opportunity to work for the government, except many of them have the additional battle for their character. In a hanner very much in keeping with certain regional ethics. War and Navy Departments Shall Colored Americans who are anxious to serve the country in the Federalized Guard be received on the same basis as others or shall they all be compelled to enlist under the military privileges. The recent exposition of this subject is creating wide comment. Citizens throughout the country are urged to write Secretary of War Weeks, War Department Washington, D. C., and urge the repeal of an order which is unfair to American manhood. The Associated Negro Press has taken the matter up directly with the Secretary of War, and a formal expression on the subject is expected in a short time. It has been pointed out to the Secretary that unhlooded men result the plan an unAmerican, prejudice of the Very eloculating statement on the subject by former Secretary Baker, who stated that it was without prejudice. "Can Discrimination be without prejudice?" Ask the "Men Turbulent Down." Secretary Denby, of the Department of the Navy, a citizen of Michigan where the Republican party was here for the cause of housing liberation REV. EMANUEL HALL Evangelist and Gospel Singer, Los Angeles, California, The Guest of Pastor and People of St. James, beginning Sunday, May 22nd. of Hope—the Door of Opportunity,"—these men should take the unwritten law of color prejudice out of the government that has very effectively placed the "kibosh" on Colored Americans. Except in certain restricted capacity on the warcraft of Uncle Sam, a dark face is without chance or honor. The executive offices in Washington, of the Navy Department, reflect very un- mistakably the spirit of the Navy." Colored clerks, and even messengers, are conspicuous by their absence. Washington Police Court Adjourned Out Of Resp To Negro Lawyer's Dea The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, May 18—The United States branch Police Court Washington, D. C., presided over Judge Hardison recently adjourn out of respect to the memory of A. ney John A. Moss, who died a days ago. Attorney Moss was an the first Negro lawyers to take It is pointed out by observers that to make headway in social justice, Departmental heads must take an unquestioned stand for the things that are right. The spirit of their stand should permeate every corner and crevice of the work under them, just as the spirit of injustice permeated to the last inch under the last Wilsonian regime. It is further pointed out that the example of the government, its attitude in dealing with human beings, will go a very long way in helping to develop a just and fair attitude of right in every section of the United States, and in all phases of economic life. Governmental example, backed up by constitutional governmental determination will prove an unfaltering panacea for many ills. Sidelights Of Washington Associated Negro Press Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania has manifested deep concern on the results of the defeat of the Civil Rights bill of his state. He is particularly moved by the charges of Colored newspapers in his home state, and a number of leaders, that the bill was defeated through his change of attitude. To this he has said his attitude did not change, and that he still believes in Civil Rights for Colored people. Those who make the charge, base their contention on a vicious attack on the bill in one of the Penrose organs. "The Washington Tribune" is the name of the latest journalistic venture in the Capital City. It is published from the Murray Brothers' establishment, 920 U street and William O. Walker, formerly of the Journal and Guide, Norfolk, and the Pittsburgh Courier, is the managing editor. It will cater to local events chiefly. T. K. Gibson of Atlanta, and B. M. Roddy of Memphis, chiefs in insurance and banking, were in Washington telling in glowing terms of the arrangements being made in Atlanta to look after the visitors to the National Negro Business League in August. A National Industrial Exhibit is to be held in conjunction with the event, and it promises to be epoch-making in its extensiveness. This part of the program is under the direct management of the local league, of which J. C. Ross is president, and is not a money making but an inspirational and educational event. The largest auditorium in Atlanta has been engaged, and the decorating and lighting effects will surpass anything ever attempted by the Race. Attorney W. C. Matthews of Boston has been in the city several days, and is very active in the agitation in behalf of having the Federalized National Guard order changed which prevents Colored Americans from being full-feded soldiers. Attorney Matthews had laid the matter personally before Secretary of War Weeks, who is from the State of Massachusetts, and, also Vice-President Coolidge, whom he reminded promised to take a personal interest in the adjustment under the new administration. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, has returned from Atlantic City, where he has closed the deal for the property for the erection of the new $250,000 Ovington Hotel. The location is ideal, and will afford a magnetic center for visitors to "America's Playground." WHITES ENCOURAGE NEGRO INSTITUTIONS Washington Police Court Adjourned Out Of Respect To Negro Lawyer's Death The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, May 18—The United States branch Police Court of Washington, D. C., presided over by Judge Hardison recently adjourned out of respect to the memory of Attorney John A. Moss, who died a few days ago. Attorney Moss was among the first Negro lawyers to take up practice in the District of Columbia. Following a series of eulogies by a number of Mr. Moss' associates, including Attorneys R. A. Hughes, W. M. Hewlett, H. L. Tignor, C. S. Williams and J. M. Ricks, Judge Hardison paid tribute to the man who had been regarded as a landmark of the District Courts. He was a man of notable events, and a man out of the ordinary," the Judge stated. "Moss was a living monument of a time that had passed away. He was a pioneer of his Race. Moss was a man of unusual attainments and had a great breadth of view. I can appreciate the sentiments voiced by the preceding speakers." CHIEF CONSPIRATOR OF A PEONAGE PLAN INDICTED IN TENN. CHATTANOOGA, Teen, May 18—an echo of the Georgia postage scandal was heard here today when it became known that indictments had been returned by the United States Grand Jury against A. H. Dunnaway, a wealthy planner of Oglethrope, Go. on the charge of being the chief consiprator of a postage plan developed here, according to the government's theory, by John Dunnaway, a brother and Tom Erwin, a deputy sheriff of Oglethrope county.

WAR WORKERS OPPOSE "BIRTH OF A NATION" By Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, May 18—War workers and overseas veterans with citations picked the "Capitol theatre, where Griffith's Picture The Birth of a Nation" is being revived. "We represented America in France why should 'The Birth of a Nation' misrepresent us here" was the placard they bore as they distributed circulars of their organization before the theatre until arrested by the police on Friday evening. May 6. Because of adjournment at the request of David Wark Griffith, the case is pending. He made the following statement, according to the New York Times: "I have served a summons to appear in the westside court in complaint against these agitators. It is a source of regret to me that poorly advised people are endeavoring to stir up animosity against "The Birth of a Nation." The opposition is misguided and was misproven and laid away years ago. The leading villain in the story is a white man, who leads a misguided following into conflicts which do not reflect upon the Negro. If there is the slightest ground for protest against the film, it seems to me that white men have more claim to it than have Negroes. I shall be quite willing to submit the matter under cath to the consideration of the court." PAGES 7-12 GOV. HYDE FINDS LINCOLN INSTITUTE SADLY NEGLECTED Buildings In Dilapidated Condition, School has suffered from Careless Policy Of Past Administrations. May Take Several Years To Build Up. From The St. Louis Post-Dispatch JEFFERSON CITY, May 16—Gov. Hyde and Lieutenant-Governor Lloyd, in their visits last week to several of Missouri's State institutions, encountered the extremes in accomplishment or purpose in two educational institutions. At the School for the Deaf in Fulton they found a remarkable degree of efficiency At Lincoln Institute in Jefferson City, the States school, which is supposed to provide a normal school education for Negroes, they found a glaring example of makeshift and neglect While no State institution so far visited, by the State's Executive, has had the support which it should have had to attain the highest aim, Lincoln Institute was the only one which gave evidence of actual neglect on the part of the State. At the others it appeared that probably all had been done that could be done under the giggly revenue which has characterized the history of State financing in Missouri. Very naturally there is a difference between institutions in the degree of efficiency attained by the management with the materials at hand. At the School for the Deaf there was every evidence that the accomplishments were almost marvelous. At Lincoln Institute, the conditions which the Governor characterized as "most unsatisfactory", probably could not have been materially improved under any management Positive Neglect at Lincoln Institute Positive Neglect at Lincoln Institute Neither the Governor nor any of those who accompanied him on his visit to Lincoln was able to place the blame for conditions which existed on anybody or anything except the lack of attention to the institution by previous administrations. The buildings are old, out of repair, crowded and unsuitary. The plaster was falling from the walls in many places, floors were broken through, stair rails broken out. Negre students were crowded to gather in sleeping quarters. Many of the sleeping rooms had no carpets or rags on the floors. The buildings are fire traps, many of the halls being narrow. Although supposed to provide normal school training for Negroes, the laboratory was found to be equipped with only one Bunsen burner and only one microscope, and that, the Governor said, was so "wobbly" he didn't think it would work. The Governor found workmen employed putting partitions into an attic to provide additional room, painters at work reeducating school rooms, electricians rewiring the buildings. Inquiries he made of Prof. Clement Richardson, president of the Institute, regarding the contract conditions under which the present board had the work done, caused him to issue orders to stop all work until he could look into the contracts. Electrical Contract Let Without Bids Richardson, under questioning by Lieutenant-Governor Lloyd, said the electrical contract called for a total expenditure of about $6000. He said the work was being done by a Jefferson City firm and that no other bids had been taken. The Governor also inquired into a recent purchase of 30 acres of land adjoining the institute for $20,000. He had received information the land had a value of not to exceed $10,000. The $29,000 was appropriated for the purchase by the last Legislature, but the bill contained a clause that the money was not available until specifically released by the Governor. Although the release had not been issued, the Governor found the Auditor had issued the warrant and the money had been paid out. It developed there was a misunderstanding by the employees of the Auditor's office regarding the prohibition contained in the bill. Lewin institute has an enrollment of slightly more than 500 students. The school has been in existence since 66, when members of 2 Negro regi- when the members of two Negro regi-ments of the United States Army sub scribed $6379 to open a school for Negroes in Missouri. Legislatures have from time to time appropriated money for buildings and for support of the institution, though the amount appropriated has been less than for any other State institution. $500,000 Provided The last Legislature appropriated $500,000 to change Lincoln Institute into a university to provide the same course of study for Negroes that is provided in the State University. Plans for carrying out the provisions of the new law have not been worked out by the Governor, and it is doubtful that the Negro University will become an accomplished fact for several years. The bill to provide an appropriation for the University was the result of a order of Wallwall M. Moore, the late Negro Legislator, to be elected in a state. Woman's Crowning Glory...

Decrease In 28 The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, May 18.—The Bureau of the Census recently made public a preliminary statement, subject to correction, showing the foreign-born white population of each state as returned at the last three censuses. According to this statement, this element of the population increased between 1910 and 1920 in 29 states and the District of Columbia and decrease in 28 states. In the previous decade, 1900 to 1910/1911, 39.1 per cent between 1880 and 1890, 34.1 per cent between 1860 and 1870, 18.4 per cent between 1870 and 1880, total for the United States, 13,702,987, 1920, represents an increase of 2.7 per cent since 1910, as against an increase of 30.7 per cent between 1900 and 1910, 12 per cent between 1890 and 1900, 39.1 per cent between 1860 and 1870, and 82.8 per cent between 1850 and 1860. Furthermore, the numerical increase in the foreign-born white population during the past decade, which amounted to only 358,442 was very much smaller than the corresponding increase during any preceding decade since 1850; in fact, the past decade is the only one since 1850 during which the increase in this class of the population has been less than 1,000,000.

CURRENT OPINION IN AMERICA DANGEROUS The Associated Negro Press. MADRID, May 11. The charge that current opinion in America is dangerous to the peace of the world is made in an editorial printed by f.a.Libertad on Spanish-American relations. The newspaper says: "No one who is an average observer, reading the news of happenings in the United States, can deny the existence there of current opinion dangerous for the peace of the world. Publicist and champions of the new imperialism, there are fostering this tendency of the North American mind to proclaim itself the mandatory and executor of all kinds of provincial designs. They are making the superiority of their race over all the other races of the earth into a dogma and are preaching the necessity of organizing a military and naval power which shall become an arm for performing tasks confided to them by God. "These ideas of domination are those which guide those men in Cuba, Santo-Domingo, Mexico and Panama, and nullify through their deeds and conduct the immense moral value of Washington's and Lincoln's work, and denaturing the Monroe Doctrine, transforming what was the liberating cry of "America for Americans" into a scheme of slavery and vassalage. Europe must use all her efforts for the good of America, where Spain has her greatest moral patrimony, and any one who does not see in the trans-Atlantic continent for the future human task is senseless or blind."

The famous wrecking crew was a bit tired to put up much of a battle but were timing themselves for Sunday's game. Leaving home short of pitchers, Sydney Brooks, "Old Reliable" was sent to the mound and pitched a good game in spite of errors behind him that counted. The wrecking crews eyes were dim and could not find the leather in the pinches. Woods of the Buckeye, a very fast outfielder did himself proud facing Brooks four times getting three hits and a pass on an error, stole three bases and scored three times. Roberts and Buckeye twirler was, touched for seven hits but he kept them well scattered and the Giants were unable to count. Score by innings: RILE St. L.

Bennett led the Giants attack with three hits in five trips to the plate, Pitcher Drake coming next with two hits in three times me. Manager Lloyd had an off day in the short field yesterday, booting Dulley's grounder in the fifth, and making a mess of Blackwell's roller in the final inning.
