INVESTIGATION SHOWS TULSA, OKLA. RACE WAR WAS WILFULLY PLANNED Drink, Carry, Prejudice. Torch Applied To Stop Progress Of Negroes. Fine Homes And Business Houses First To Be Destroyed. Most Diabolically Fiendish Plot In The History Of The Country. An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. X NO. 9 INVESTIGATION TULSA, OKLA WAS WILFU To Stop Progress Of Net ness Houses First To Be Fiendish Plot In The His The Associated Negro Press. TULSA, Okla. June 15. The Tulsa fully planned the event for startling annals given by foilish Negro held and a silly, irresponsible white girl. Result: more than 200 whites killed and wounded white cautailies among the Negroes amounted to about 60 people, all told to "little Africa" and amounted to more than $2,000,000. Completion of an $85,000 church was the straw which broke the camel's back of prejudice and made ready for the consummation of a plot that can be regarded the most dianbolically friendly in the history of the United States. To this chapter of horrors can be added the outspoken declaration to Lynch B. Stradford and James Sullitherman, two of the more prominent Negro business men who were the few leaders who managed to escape the clutches of the mob. Even the white clergy were among those who gave sanction to the horrible program of wholesale destruction of property and attempted general slaughter of men whose only crime was a determined effort to prosper and live decently. This statement is given force and color by the facts that the business section and the better residential district in "Little Afriken" were the first places to feel the forked tress of prejudice to lift, "Little Afriken" and of slimy conditions of a slum district there would have been no riot," declared an intelligent Negro to the Associatied Negro Press representative. Bishop Mozon of the Methodist Church, South, the Rev C. W. Kerr of the First Presbyterian Church and the Rev. Harry G. Cooke of the Centenary M. E. Church, last Sunday, declared from their pulpits that the colored people were wholly responsible for the horrors of the riot. Bishop Mozon went so far; as to announce that William H. DuBois recalled and talks to Tuba Negroes was one of the contributors to the attack. He announced that the Negro must not become to compete with the white man nor seek to rise out of the economic unrural situations in which the whites are determined to keep him. A violation of this etict was sure to visit on the Negro the repulsals of race riotes whenever it occurred. Cooke and Kerr were no less outspoken in their denunciation of the Tuba Negro's aspirations to approach the social and economic levels of the Tuba whites. Snifferman's whereabouts have not been discovered up to this date. Stradford, however, was located in Independence, Kansas, and an effort to extricate him, was frustrated by his son, G. F. Stradford, a Chicago lawyer, who succeeded in getting his father out of the hands of the Kansas authorities and proceeded. The elder Stradford has not been since located. Should either of these men be brought to Tuba, a layning bee would surely be added to the awful list of horrors that have already visited this benighted place. In the peasant there is a group of white citizens who are destroys that restitution be provided for the Negroes by rebuilding and replacing their personal losses at whatever cost. While this offer appears to be bona fide, it seems to be qualified by presenting a plan which will move the Colored people from the occupancy of the district that was so wantonly destroyed. The answer of the Colored people to this plan has not yet been given. It is not that they will be given much choice in the matter. PRESIDENT HARDING DEPLORES TULSA RIOT AFTER RECEIVING N. A. A. C. P. TELEGRAM: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a letter received from George B. Christian, Secretary to President Harding, in which Mr. Christian acknowledged receipt of a telegram the Association had addressed to the President. "Following the receipt of your telegram of June 2," says the letter from President Harding's Secretary, "the President, as you will have noticed, made a public expression of his regret and horror at the recent repentance, which reflected his repentments." The telegram, which the letter gave to a really read as follows: "President Warren G. Harding, Washington, D. C. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People feels that an utterance from you at this time on the violence and reign of terror at Tulsa, Oklaobago, would have an inestimable effect not only upon that situation, but upon the whole country. (Signed) James Woolen Johnson." Meeting Of Missouri Negro Republican League Club The Missouri Negro Republican League Club held a very interesting session last Monday night. Chairman White of the Board of Directors presided. The club was addressed by dermman Ralph Ebbin of 6th Ward. In execution, a very important meeting committee was approved, the nature of which will be de. The St. Louis Argus INVESTIGATOR SAYS 200 WERE KILLED IN TULSA Assistant Secretary Nat'l Association A. C. P. Says Riot In 'Sheer' Brutality Stands Wihout Parallel Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, returned today after a personal investigation of the recent race riot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, saying that between 150 and 200 Negroes were killed in the riots and at least 50 white persons. Mr. White declared the word "attack" and "assault" the impression being given that a colored man had attempted rape upon a white girl, whereas he had merely stumbled in an elevator and in attempting to recover his balance stepped upon her foot. "Having been sworn in as a deputy sheriff and having been on patrol as such during the Tulsa riot," said Mr. White today, "I am able to state that the Tulsa riot in sheer brutality and wilful violence, stands without a parallel in America. "Abuse and misuse of the word assault caused the entire configuration. A white girl operating an elevator in a public building, declared that a colored boy had attempted to assault her. Without stopping to inquire, and with out considering the utter impossibility of criminal assault being perpetrated in broad open daylight in the public building, a street of a town of 100,000, a sense less mob set out to avenge the honor of white womanhood." "As a result, between 200 and 250 white and colored citizens are known to have been killed, an unknown number of colored men and women and children were burned alive, 44 square blocks of business and residential property valued at a million and one-half dollars were destroyed, and everlasting damage done to the name of Tulsa and of Oklahoma. In justice to make it must be said that the percentage of the white inhabitaition condemned in unmeasured terms the outrage which has been perpetrated. The Salvation Army, the Red Cross, Local relief agencies and churches have done commendable work in providing food, clothing and shelter for the destitute victims of the riot. "Tulsa's experience is exceedingly important in that conditions which led to its night of terror exist in many other cities North and South and unless unusual efforts are used the gravest consequences are to be fedred. Some of the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to blame the riot on Negro radicalism. When I questioned them regarding the riot, they said that it was invariably that it consisted of demands by Negroes that the Federal Constitution be enforced, and that lynching, peonage, disfranchisement and Jim-Crowism be abolished. "There will be a state investigation of the riot, but in the opinion of the citizens of Tulsa it will amount to nothing. The Tulsa riot has convinced me that the only hope of averting repetitions of it lies in Federal interference." IRONY OF KINDNESS AT TULSA, OKLAHOMA The Associated Negro Press ____ The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, June 15—William Pickens, the noted Colored orator and publicist speaks of the "dangerous tendencies" brought to light by the Tulsa War. Among other things he said in more recent issues: "Several dangerous tendencies are noticeable in that Tulsa affair; there were white looters, whose chief inspiration was to steal the goods and effects of the driven out Negroes; and the benevolent (?) committee offered to rebuild the homes of the Colored people but in a different section of the town." "If these looters are not severely punished, and if this committee is allowed to "move" the Colored population to the section where it is willing for them to live it will furnish one of the most subtle and powerful inducements to mob violence against Colored people. If to burn out the Negro section will make it more white to steal and plunder and then it will add some powerful influences to the tendency to such violence. We can list in our mind many places where the Negro quarter would be gladly fire to on tomorrow, if certain interests could be sure that it would result in the removal of the Negroen. These looters are the great testimony of the many passion of grief and gain that play their part in these programs and it is the very irony of kindness to offer to rebuild the homes of the Colored population elsewhere." Published In The Interest Of Colored People NEWSPAPER MAN GETS JOB AT WASHINGTON On William H. Tatt When He Was Candidate For President First Time. NEW YORK, June 15 — National B.

WANTED TO LYNCH MAN FOR ACTING SUSPICIOUSLY The Associated Negro Press NEW ORLEANS, La, June 15- Clarence Young, 23 years old, Colored, of 760 South Roman street, was captured last Monday night hiding under a house at 2314 Banks street, occupied by Emile O'Brien, after being clashed and fired upon by a crowd that sought to capture him because of his acting suspiciously. Threats of lynching were made as fifteen policemen, rushing to the scene after a riot call to headquarters, battled with the crowd and finally succeeded in spiriting the Negro away. He was taken to the First Presidential station where he is held as a dangerous and suspicious character. Late Sunday night police were notified that a Negro, acting in a suspicious manner, had been proving thru the neighborhood of Banks and Palmyra. A diligent search failed to find him. About 8 p.m., Monday it was announced the same man. In the neighborhood a crowd had formed and when Young was seen, several shots were fired at him when he refused to stop. Someone turned in a riot cell and the police quickly responded. Young said he had run when he became frightened at the mob's attitude. ATTORNEY VAUGHN SPEAKS TO N.A.A.C. P. AT SPRINGFIELD Special to the St. Louis Argus SPRINGFIELD HI. June 15. Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn of St. Louis addressed a large meeting while here yesterday under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He said many of the lilies which Negroes suffered in this country were due to a lack of faith in themselves and in the race. He paid hot complements to the pussy-footers, boot-tackers and "me too, Boss," type of Negroes who perpetrated themselves in power at the expense of the welfare of the race. After reviewing the work of the Negroes who perpetrated themselves in power Mr. Vaughn stated that the mere fact that such an organization exists ought to be sufficient to have Negroes hunting opportunities to join; that in spite of the splendid work of the Association for the liberty of the people, its membership now, contains Jess than one per cent of the Negroes in the country, and that white people who are friendly to the Negroes that Negroes are dissatisfied with the conditions, which confront them in this country. He received an ovation at the close of his address and every person in the house who was not a member of the Association, joined.

Russell, who, they assert, has imprinted two forbidden Haitian newspapers to publish American newspaper comments on the recently published Memorial. The appeal to the American people, which is signed by H. Paulus Shannon, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Haiti; Stenio Vincent, former President of the Haitian Senate; and Percelau Thobey, former Haitian Charge d'Affaires at Washington, was given out at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Avenue, New York, and is as follows: "A new attack upon the liberties of the Haitian People has been perpetrated by Colonel John H., Russell, commanding the marines at Port-au-Prince. According to the latest reports and newspapers from Haiti, Colonel Russell issued on May 26 last a military order suppressing freedom of speech and of the press. "The order translated from the French is as follows: Order of the Day Although, in principle, there is no restriction upon liberty of the press and of speech, nevertheless, the writings and speeches of an incendiary nature, or which tend to cast discredit on the forces of the United States inhaling the tend to incite the people against the United States who are giving aid and assistance to the Haitian Government, or writings and speeches attacking the person of the President of Haiti or the Government of Haiti, are prohibited. All contravention of the present order will be brought before a military tribunal. JOHN H. RUSSELL, Colonel U. S. Marines Corps Commanding 1st Brigade* U. S. Marines and United States Forces Askore in Haiti. "Subsequent to this, two Haitian journalists, M. Jolibols and M. Lancie, were arrested. A third, M. Thobaud, is being sought. "It is because the Haitian newspapers protested against brutality, crimes against American suppression that the news an order was commuted. Under such an order the canteen can impunity continue to terrorize the Haitian people. "This situation is a return to the opression which we had to endure during the first five years of American occupation in Haiti. The delegates to the American people of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, appeal to all fairing Americans to insist on knowing the opression which are being perpetrated in their name by United States forces in the Haitian Republic." DEATH RATE IS HIGH AMONG NEGROES OF CITY The death rate among Negroes in St. Louis was almost double the death rate among whites during the city's fiscal year ending last April 12, according to the report of John Schmoll, retiring Director of Public Welfare. Schmoll attributes this condition to improper housing conditions among Negroes and their careless manner of living. Further evidence of this condition cited in the report is the fact that the death rate from tuberculosis among Negroes three times higher than the death rate from tuberculosis among whites. Other statistics disclose that the death rate among Negro children between the ages of 5 and 15 years was 15 times greater than among white children; under 6 years a trifle more than eight times as great, and between the ages of 15 and 24, four and one-half times as great. Schmoll thinks that the excessive death rate among Negro children is due to undernourishment. He points out that the apportioned rate from tuberculosis among Negroes is a mence to the health of the entire population and he recommends that a commission of experts on sanitation, proper ventilation, housing and medical care be appointed to make a report to the Mayor, setting forth measures for the health relief of the Negro population. NEGROES RELEASED AFTER BLOODHOUNDS TRAIL WHITE THIEVES MAYFIELD, Ky., June 15.—Marginal R. L.

The prisoners denied entering the store and say they Do not know how to sell it at Marion. Two Norwegian s Opposition By Southerners Blocks Way Where Senate Confirmation is Required. Will Lose Offices of Register Of Treasury And Recorder Of Deeds. Other Positions Are Available. Plan Vigorously Opposed By Leaders Of Race. Considered A Step Backward. Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 15—"Will President Harding fail us?" That is the very serious question that is being asked by everyone in political progress. It is being asked by no more than one man, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Requirement Committee member from Georgia and Robert R. Church, well known business man and political wizard of Tennessee. It is also being asked by their political associates and the newspapers of the Races from one end of the country to the other. There is one desire to see the President call his 12,000,000 Colonel constituency that backed him unanimously in his election. In fact, numbers of letters are coming to leaders in Washington stating that religious denominations are holding prayer meetings, in cities and back in the villages, and the hills and mountains praying that President Harding may be given courage to stand up to the many public addresses expressed in his many public addresses. The people wish nothing less, and even in the words of Henry Lincoln Johnson, "we certainly can endure nothing less." South Source of Trouble The whole trouble is bound up in the policy of recognition. Colored Americans are insisting that all citizens be recognized absolutely on merit, and that they must endure the President to "classify" the Negro, and that means to eliminate and segregate. The President, if is said, refuses to eliminate, but that he is leading a listening, if not sympathetic ear to the plan of segregation. This information may strike the Colored Americans thrust the country with amazement, but The Associated Negro Press learns this from high authority. The situation at present may be decided. First: There will be no appointment of Colored Americans to office in the Southern states. Second: There will be no appointment of Colored Americans to Presidential offices that is offices that require the confirmation of the United States Senate. Third: There will be no appointment of a Colored Register of the United States Treasury, Recorder of Deeds or any other similar offices formerly held by Colored Republicans. Fourth: There will be appointments of prominent Colored Americans to prominent places in various department offices in places that do not require Senate confirmation. Such appointments will have salaries attached amounting to $5,000 or more, and will have the approval of President Harding. **Colored Leaders Oppose** This program of policy does not meet the approval of Colored Americans and President Harding is being respectfully informed of the facts. We don't want 'jobs', we want positions, decharged to Johnson. It doesn't require a job, the jobs named have salaries with the wealth of Shylock, it is a matter of principle, and we must have justice. "On this matter" of principle" con- tinued Col. Johnson. "We want the position of Register of the Treasury. If the protest of a few women can keep us from this place, a similar pro- test can keep us from any place that may be given. It cannot only keep us from places of employment, but we must indulge everywhere. This must unalterably come, with the help of Almighty God. A Step Backward. It is stated that if President Harding pursues this policy it will be a sten backward, even farther than Taft and Woodrow Wilson. It is argued that Taft appointed a number of men to federal positions requiring Senate confirmation. It is stated that even Woodrow Wilson named a Colored man for Register of the Treasury, even the he later withdrew the name and placed in nomination an Indian. That the President is not in favor of appointing any Colored person to any office where he would be a slave, while employees is being stated by those close to him. This policy, if carried out, will have a sickening effect on the party in the elections for 1922, so far as Colored Republicans are concerned. Robert R. Church who has been regarded as an Administration spokesman, has let it be known among friends that he will assume no position of "possession," double-crossing or compromises. He has stated that the attitude of all leaders is if the attitude is of administrative policy. In this position he is being practiced practically unanimously by all political leaders. A number of Congressmen and United States Senators who have large numbers of Colored voters, have gone to President Harding, urging him of the importance of heeding the protests of the people. Systematic efforts to prevent the confirmation of Frank A Linsner as United States Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina has begun. A Square Deal For Every Man AGES PRICE 5 CENTS MENTS FACE MEN HELD UP Blocks Way Where Senate Red. Will Lose Offices of Reg- Recorder Of Deeds. Other. e. Plan Vigorously Opposed Considered A Step Backward. was signed by five prominent Negroes of North Carolina, headed by Bishop G. W. Chace. The protests quotes a letter from Linney, written sluring the campaign, "To The Woman of North Carolina," which contains these statements: "The Republican Party has not made efforts to organize Negroes in this campaign, nor will it connive at such political strategy." If we carry the Democratic organization will stay in the government. The Republican Party's policy will be to let the Negro stay out of politics. If the Democratic organization will meet us half way, we are in a fair position to eliminate any possibility of the Negro question in the Senate. In arguing the candidates' unditness to the President the committee says; "Mr. Luney has declared over his signature he was willing to enter a combination to deny us this great fight. If during his incumbency occasion should arise where the rights of Colored people were involved, how could he do otherwise than either by silence or by positive action—make the amendments to the Federal Constitution worthless?" SHRINERS PLAN BIG PROGRAM FOR IMPERIAL COUNCIL Chairman of the Publicity Committee St. Louis Shriners of Medi- Temple No. 39, who will be the host to the Imperial Council, have outlined a wonderful program for the entertainment and comfort of the many "Sons of the Desert" who will invade this city during the first week of August.

The city will be given over entirely to Shrine festivities.

We will have our Shrine medical headquarters at the Crescent Hall, 21st and Olive streets, and our phone number will be available. And that be the will be receive immediate attention.

In loving memory of my dear friend, Hattie Williams, who departed this life, June 17, 1920. Day by day I sadly miss you. Friends may think the wound is healed But they little know the grief. That is in my heart concealed. Sadly missed by a friend. Mimie Bolden, Lovejoy, Illinois In memory of my dear husband W.J. Smalwood - who departed this life June 17, 1929.

Bully nailed by wife and daughter In loving memory of a true, and gentle heart, Muriel C. Pendleton, who departed from us four years ago, June 15, 1917. Four sad years have taken flight Slice a shadow on our life was cast; But memory keeps you always near us. For we loved you, Muriel, oh, so dear. While standing by the bedside in the last hours of your life. Watching your silent and patient suffer with your usual pleasant smiles. And although we did all within our power, We saw you sinking with thoughts which we knew were so kind and pure; Finally death closed your truthful, loving eyes in peace to us forever; And now you calmly sleep the past; But, oh, with one so kind and true, How hard it was to part with you! Taken from us in the best of your life, Leaving us basked-hearted and alone; It's hard to think it's for the best. Your young life's gone and you're at rest. But it seems you must again return to us. For through the weary hours when we are sitting all alone. We are acting and longing for you, Muriel to come home; For it's so hard to live without you. So often when our thoughts do wander, We visit your silent, lonely grave, Where we know you are in peaceful sleep; But it's hard, oh, so hard, To go without you to our home of gloom, Where you were the sunshine when there. Most sorrowfully mourned and lovingly remembered by IN-MEMORIAM. In loving memory of dear wife Mrs. Hattie Williams, who departed this life, June 17, 1920, one year ago.

This action of the church followd quickly on the heels of an ungrounded report that had been circulated to the effect that Dr. Birt had been arrested for carrying concealed weapons. Efforts to get at the bottom reason for the unwarranted report and consequent gossip that gained considerable currency throut the city before an investigation brot it to a sudden stop failed to completely ascertain the origin altho considerable has been brot to light which shea light on the probable cause. 'The resolutions were read by Dr. A. J. Offord, one of Chicago's prominent physicians, and read as follows: Chicago, 18 May 20, 1921 Whereas, a false and sensational story was circulated by gossip and published to some of the Colored newspapers of this city to the effect that Rev. S. L. Birt, pastor of Bethel Church had been arrested upon a charge of carrying concealed weapons and that the police off THE ST.

Resolved, as follows: That we, the officers, members and friends of Bethelying, upon the truthfulness of the statements herein made, which were brot out in an investigation made by a committee appointed from the joint membership of the Official and Trustee Boards composed of the following Bros.

This report is not included in this statement because it has already been read to the congregation. Second. In addition to the report of Detective Agency we offer the following statement made by Lentt. Enlight, in charge of the Stanton Ave. Police station to Dr. A. J. Offord, Chiefman of this commutee; "Dr. Birt has never been arrested for carrying concealed weapons or upon any other charge. Two men, Robert Lewis and Chas. Wooden were arrested at the corner of 35th and Michigan avenue, on April 6. Chas. Wooden having a pair of brass knocks in his pocket. Rev. Costan was hrot to the station with the other two. Rev. Birt was not arrested and brought to the station in the patrol wagon. He came of his own accord to intercede for the two men arrested. As a result of Rev. Birt's intercession neither of the three men arrested were booked. You may use my name and go as far as you like in any statement relative to this matter as I am very sorry to see Dr. Birt impersonal." in view of the statement of the Keystone Detective Agency and of Lieut.

Birt and propose the following resolutions for adoption by the church as a whole: Resolved, That Bethel Church, thus its entire membership hereby liedges itself on record as being fully convinced of the groundlessness of malicious rumors recently circulated against our pastor. Rev. S. L. Birt and to the end that the people of Chicago and of the country may know our attitude, we herewith declare and re-affirm our confidence in the Christian leadership. BE NO IMMEDIATE INDEPENDENCE FOR PHILLIPPINE ISL'DS. The Associated Negro Press MANILA, June 15—There will be no immediate independence for the Philipine islands if the policy of the Harding administration depends on the report to be submitted by the Wood-Forbes mission. That much may be said to have been settled now. What remains is the delicate task of establishing conditions and improving the internal conditions of the islands, while at the same time holding the loyalty and co-operation of the Filipinos. Then comes the bigger job of co-ordinating the military, naval and commercial policy of the United States in the orient. That the investigation has proven already that there is no stable government in the same contemplated by congress as being preemptive in its means was indicated clearly by Gen. Wood and W. Cameron Forbes in their talks to members of the Columbian club, composed of Filipino graduates of the American universities. COLOR PREJUDICE IN BRAZIL IS DENIED The Associated Negro Press RIO ANIERIO, Brazil, June 15. The government is about to issue a pronouncement to which will declare that the reports that are being given out in various parts of the United States to the effect that there is color prejudice in Brazil are without foundation and can not be verified by anyone who will put themselves to the trouble to verify them. Quite to the contrary, the pronouncement will point out, the government stands ready and most willing to give encouragement to all worthy colonists without regard to race or color. At the office of the Secretary of State it was announced recently that extra inducements were about to be offered to Negro colonists from the United States to settle in the State of Matto Grosso. As has been stated in former catlegrams this is to be done because of the unusually favorable conditions to be found in that part of the Republic for Negro colonists from the southern portion of the great American Republic. Cotton is to be added to the stable products of the Republic by our national government. A number of experiments have met with pronounced success in this connection in the State of Matto Grosso. The sweet potato, corn of a very fine quality and garden track of various kinds have been successfully raised recently in this section with highly profitable results. Chickens and other poultry thrive and in the southwestern portion cattle are raised to fine advantage. A prominent official said, recently: "All this talk about color prejudice in Brazil is the veryest nonsense. Color or race is no bar in Brazil and never will be. We want men, stout of heart and willing to work. That is all we are asking of colonists. ORGANIZES "BLACK CROSS NURSES" The Associated Negro Press CHICA(0), June 15—Dr. A. J. Ford, one of the younger and more progressive, physicians of this city, has organized a Black Cross Nurses' organization and opened a school for nurses at the Fort Dearborn hospital. In a recent interview Dr. Offord said: "I am a firm believer in the Race doing everything for itself that I finds possible to do. President Harding has pointed out to us in no uncertain terms that we have got to get out of the rut in which we find ourselves by our own efforts. So fully do I believe this to be true that I am more than willing to do whatever I can to hasten the day when we shall stand on our own economic and industrial feet. As a physician I stand for the highest planes of efficiency in all the departments of medicine. Our women make the finest trained nurses in the world. Nature has done more for them in this direction than it has done, for any other women in the entire world, at least that is my belief. Then why not give them the soundest scientific training in this particular? Our school has more than sixty women and we will go out into the world and give service that cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Dr. Offord every active in church and musical careers WIVES SELL FOR 5 POUNDS STERILING The Associated Negro Press LONDON, June 15.—Five pounds sterling is to be the price of a wife, according to a recently ratified convention between the governments of Great Brittan and Liberia.

SATURDAY, June 25——"The Servant in The House" COMING—— "BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS" "DON'T NEGLECT YOUR WIFE" CRITERION THEATRE 2644-46 FRANKLIN AVE. St. Louis' Leading Photo Play Theatre Henry A. Dixon's Jazzland Girls have a lively frolic in "The Jealous Husband" at the Bobker Washington Theatre this week. The theme has been repeated a number of times here but it is always amusing. A husband who must be gone from home for a time enacts Stringent rules for his wife to observe during his absence. This practically excludes all her friends. She does not live up to the regulations, however, and he returns to find the home crowded. The situation ends in an amable manner and no one gets killed. The comedy is fur- ALL STAR REVUE NEXT WEEK Hightower and Zook's All Star Revue will open at the Booker Washington Theatre Monday night. This is rented to be an extraordinary attraction, featuring King Rasusn Brown the Champion Buck and Wing Dancer. ADMISSION FREE AT MANHATTAN GARDEN BEGINNING MONDAY The Manhattan Cafe and Garden will inaugurate an admission free policy beginning Monday, for every day except Sunday and holidays. The management also announces, a big cut in prices on everything. There will no change, in the high class entertainment offered by this popular place, which always features this latest musical hits. AT THE MOVIES "Good Women," "God's Gold" And "The Mistress Of Shenstone" At Star An up-to-date problem—the right of the individual, especially a woman to evade modern conventions—is the theme of "Good Women." It is a story worked out in a sound common-sense manner. An American heiress declares the right to live her own life as she sees it and defies the moral code generally accepted by society at large. After many adventures she finds herself socially ostracized and beyond the pale of decency. On Sunday "God's Gold" will be the feature. The picture presents Neat Hart in the role of a sea captain and his quest for buried treasure is marked by one continuous round of excitement. A light with his mottled crew the destruction of two big ships by fire a storm at sea, and the resque of his sweetheart from the clutches of a gang of benefits are but a few of the exciting situations in the picture. Next Thursday, Pantine Frederick will be seen in "The Mistress of Shenstone." It is the story of a woman who receives a false report of her husband's death, then gives her love to another. But like a bolt out of a clear sky, shattering their happiness, and making the way dark before them comes the news that the report of her husband's death is false. She meets the situation which then arises, how she succeeds in keeping pure the wonderful love of the man who has come into her life, and at last is entailed to meet her heart's desire, furnish the many dramatic moments in the screen version of this famous novel. "Trust Your Wife" And Wm. S. Hart At The Criterion. Katherine MacDonald in "Trust Your Wife," will be featured in the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. She will be seen in a role that hands out a real jolt to unduly jealous husbands, and the photoshoot itself, delivers home a splendid moral emphasizing the most inestimable value of conscience. She portrays the part of Margot Hastings, who leaves the middle west with her brand new husband to conquer New York. Dick is an architect and has a scheme which he believes will make him rich, but he needs financial backing, and because of this, an absorbing romance is unwinded. The best picture said to have been made by William S. Hart to date, "O'Mailley of the Mounted" which will be shown at the Criterion on Sunday, presents him as a member of the Canadian mounted police who while in pursuit of a murderer, falls in love with the sister of his quarry. There are many remarkable scenes in the picture and those who like to see Mr. Hart in one of his big historic battles will not be disappointed. Doraldina, the world's Greatest Dancer, will be featured in "Passion Fruit" at the Jest-a-mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday. It is a turbulent drama of the moonlit tropics. A double-barrelled attraction, powerful in theme and enchanting in beauty. "Tip seeds" is located in the fanning, sheen sun sets far away in the South Seas. where palm trees are spiky black against the gorgeous skies where the surf booms lazily over hidden reefs and slides at last up to the broad beach grey-white in the moonlight. It is a terrible and witching part of the earth, where both love and death come quickly as a typhoon. On Tuesday a double feature program will be presented with Coaway Taurile in "Society Snobs" and Alice Calhoun in the "The Charming Decoiver." The Wednesday-Thursday attraction will be "Someone in the House." Under the veneer of a polished gentleman is the shrewd cleverness of a great diamond thief. How the tmboling loot of a trusting woman wins a society parasite from his nefarious pursuits form a story that is tense in dramatic power. Comet Theatre Reduces Price Of Admission.

But Lincoln had sense enough to take the position that when life is delegated or given to a nation, it is given by implication the right to defend that life, and that the right to defend does not have to be specified. If the Constitution gives the nation the right to the lives of its citizens on the battlefields of France, does it not give also the right to defend those lives on the streets of Tulsa? Hamilton or Lincoln or anybody else with eyes could see at a glance that the nation could assert the right to defend those lives, if for no better reason than they may be needed again on battlefields. But if it is a strange and silly technicality to claim that the nation can defend its have does in defend those lies?

Jim Crow Signs Still Posted In Department Of Justice Building Republicans Are Being Dominated By Prejudice Of Southerners. It Is Stated That Position Has Become "Too Important For Colored Man." WASHINGTON, D-C, June 8—The progress of the Hawking administration is handicapped, as announced sometime ago by the Associated Negro Press, by the birthplace of Democrats from the Wilson regime. The majority of the these Democrats are of Southern origin, who have brought to Washington "equal and exact justice," as it refers to curial Americans. Therefore, discrimination and segregation was a known fact, and it has been the general impression that all persons, in the new administration, welcome information on conditions under that they might be corrected. Department of Justice It was thought that, like clarity, which begins at home, the least place for justice to begin is in the Department of Justice. On April 13,1921, the Justice Department sent a sentive sent the following letter to Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty: It is my faith in your high sense of justice as well as in the interest of the racial group whom the Associated Negro Press is seeking to serve, that I would respectfully bring to your attention the numerous violations alleged to exist in the Department of Justice, over which you so worthily preside, and which I believe you would, not approve, but would properly brought to your subject. " (1) Upon investigation, I find that there is even now in the Southwestern corner of the Department of Education's K street, this city) two water closets, one plainly marked "for white men" and it can be seen that the other was marked "For Colored Men"—although it is not clear whether a door containing the last matrimonial has been partially washed off. I find that these signs, were put up before you took charge of the Department of Education and furthermore, that Attorney General Robert S. McDonnell ordered that only water closets on certain specified floors of a building were to be used by Colored employees. I cannot but believe that the more callous the racial discrimination will result in its immediate abolishment by you. (2024) I further find, upon investigation, that practically all of the Colored clerks and other Colored employeers work all over the building and necessarily work all over the building senators stationed in the hallway. I have been gradually segregated and are now all employed (with the exception of one cutter and developer of the Plover mail and files. I understand that the chief officer of the unAmerican policy of segregation (or grouping clerks according to their race or color) is C. E. Stewart, who, I am informed, in a rank Democrat from Alabama, served as chief clerk in the Department of Justice. "I want to be accurate and fair in all of my statements issued through the Associated Negro Press (serving the country) and I feel confident that you will rightly interpret this frank and respectful inquiry." April 23, twenty days later, the following letter was received from W. F. Sigman, a signer of the retaliary and Assistant to the Attorney General." "I will bring to the attention of the Attorney General your recent communication at the earliest possible moment, and I will send to the department accounts for the delay." "The Associated Negro Press representative made the following reply to Mr. Gibba, April 25, giving a reasonable reply to the department's "a reply from the Attorney General;" "I wish to acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of recent date, in which you state that you will bring to the attention of the Attorney General the contents of my communication under date of April Fifth. I appreciate, you state, that there is a great rush of work in the department, and yet, the matters which I respectfully mentioned in previous letter likely to become uncorrected, I do not understand administration if they continue uncorrected. It was largely due to my faith in your high sense, of justice Which characterizes both our President and Mr. Harry M. Daugherty, which caused factory conditions prevailing. In the Department of Justice, and I have every reason to believe that the same will be promptly remedied when called to the Attorney General's attention." Mr. Gibbs replied, a reply later. The Is- sociated Negro Press representative called Mr. Gibbs on the telephone to in- quire about an answer. Mr. Gibbs did not seem to remember anything about the correspondence he asked. He said commonly, Mr. Gibbs replied, "I cannot use any reason for objecting to segregation signs. White people are not object to them." It is the impure- ness that drives him and just. It is al- so impure that the letters have never been printed. He thought and then he thought that the letters have never been printed. President Harding has practically determined not to appoint a Colored man as Registrar of Treasury, for the United States, rather than information, administrative sources and seems to be seeking a position with the services of a public servant, as those well aware of first, it is stated that presidents have been brought to bear by certain Republican leaders against the wisdom of appointing a Colored man, in face of the protests of southern people. Second, it is stated that the position has become "too important for a Colored man," there are Colored men in the department, where there were formerly fifteen. President Harding intends to give a number of appointments to Colored Americans, including Charles A. Cottrill, who has been prominently mentioned for the position of register. He has been appointed by the President which require senatorial confirmation, up to date. In regard to the Register of the Treasury, it is stated that in 1818, when Frank A. Vanderbilt was in the treasury department, a similar ship was sent to the appointment of Colored mann- that Mr. Vanderbilt shut down on the matter, and Judson Lyons was given the position." A Later Interview WASHINGTON, D. C. June 15- In the release of the Associated- Negro Press, the correspondence between the representative and the Department of Justice was given. Not receiving a reply from Attorney- General Danghey, to the com- munity of the plaintiff, W. P. Gibbs, Secretary, and assistant to the Attorney General, and inquired about the correspondence, Mr. Gibbs ignored importance of the letters, and asked that the letters were with reference to segregation and discrimination in the Department of Justice. Mr. Gibbs stated that he could see no cause for complaint. P. representative said: "It certainly is not a becoming thing to do in a United States Government Department—It is not American—and it is not just." Mr. Gibbs described the whatever condition was everyone seemed to "It is a thing that we as American citizens cannot countenance or encourage we know there is a great people—residents of our Colored newspapers are putting it up to us (The Associated Negro Press) as businessmen and as publishers of newspapers, to see that such conditions are not peremptory without a Republican protest—certainly under a Republican administration." "When did you write this letter? he asked. He asked, Mr. Daugrange, in personal letter on this subject more than three weeks ago and got no reply; I wrote again and got nothing but your promise to call, my previous letter to his attorney, and my previous letter to Justice was not runched with words. "Well, you must understand that we are very busy here, and although I sign many letters, and many of them come here, I do not have time to read them. You say you got a letter from me?" "Yes, I got your letter but it didn't answer my questions or -apply the information I asked for. When I wrote Mr. Daughterhy—knowing him in his high sense of justice and fair play—I felt certain then, and I still felt certain that if the matters complained of were called to his attention they would be immediately correlated that he himself, would our conference Jim Crowism or segregation right there in the Department of Justice—I have known him for fifteen years as a good Republican citizen. I know that he wouldn't stand for any attention—but I can't get a letter to him—I can't get a reply from him—and I know of a number of men who have made an effort to get him on important matters and they claim that you have prevented them from seeing Mr. Daughterhy." "Well, we are running this department. If, these men have complains to you, as you need them to us, instead of going to someone on the outside and to the newspapers?" "Well, Mr. Gibbs, I want to know why the matters mentioned in my letter." "I don't know anything about the segregation you mention, but if there is I don' t see why there should be any complaint about what white people do not complain, when they sign up. It seems attriht to me." "Well I do feel perfectly free now to say to you that I positively cannot and do not agree with the attitude, and I would be highly interesting—to say the least for Mr. Daugherty and for the President, Mr. Harding, if I should publish this conversation that we are having now over the telephone. I do not ministration but in justice to the welfare of the large racial group that The Associated Negro Press is setting to serve. I feel it my duty to publish this conversation, for them to think right to aggregate Negro clerks and other antagonists and perfectly right is your judgment to have invade "Four White clerks this day" and "Two Black clerks this day" in order to control the flow of information." The St. Louis Argus London is a sea. A place not to be described in words certainly by who only passed through entrances to a still more distant country. I can recall a few things from the many things we saw while there. We visited St. Pauls Cathedral where rest Nelson—the hero of Tratagard and Wellington—the Iron Duke with an Ephileen's lamentation together with other noted English deed. Westminster Abbey would take many hours to describe. I was in London with an Ephileen and Wesley the great monarchiform by his worth and genius had compelled recognition and a place for his basel-pier there. By his side also was one of his brother Charles. His sayings "The all is God with us" took a thrill of duty and cheer through the heart. Not many steps away was the graze of Livingstone the missionary and martyr who died in Africa. Charles James William Wilberforce and contenders for the rights of many were all at rest. Here in classic marble stood Lord Clitham. Gladstone. *Disdire*—the great Jew-Wolf the hero of Quebec, and many whose names are embalmed in her name. Curiously enough here I found a marble bust of a "Vernon"—an English admiral of whom it was said "He was a hardy, stubborn old fighter, who salied many wars and put in at many ports." In the poets' Corner I lingered to behold statuary of Keats, Shelley, and Chaucer, the father of English poetry with a marble slab and bust to the memory of the greatest of them all—Shakespeare—the bird of Avon. The tomb of Wesley, the grave of Bunyan and Debe were over on City Hall, and his great faith laying the foundation of our Methodism. I stood in his pulpit and had devotion in his pasionage prayer room. I felt at sight of Bunyan's tomb that I behold the Beaford thither catching a fish, and walked amin with Pilgrim through doubt; faith hope, Slough of Despont and upward to the palms of light. The simple shaft over Before made us think of Robinson Crusoe and Friday and gave us misunderings in his land of strange adventure. I thought of how all these illustrious dead sleep not speaking for the Attqney General, but for myself." "But, Mr. Gibbon, don't you get my point? For the reason that these people come to us and look to us to plead and work too a correction of these wrongs as American citizens to oppose possibly under a Republican administration. Now, we have had brought to our attention a number of instances where people have made the same kind of mistake in their conduct in more of duration than in other departments as well; we have laid out their statements and in a number of cases have verified their complaints; cases have verified their complaints; sacrificing in war times and they feel the stigma and humiliation of such misreatment—they do not like those think—they know there is no just cause for such Jim Crow tactics—such indictments that are helped in administration and which they have already horror too long under a democratic administration and they are looking for a correction of such un-American practice that is unindicted mee like President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty." "It looks to me like you are bothered too much with these things." "No, sir. I tell you frankly that I cannot agree with you in that position. I think Mr. Daugherty will agree with him, the matter reaches him." "Well, if I can get no assurance from you—I have ample testimony to prove that" Colored clerks have been agreed in the Department of Justice to segregate in the Department of Justice that Colored clerks and other employees are even now required to use separate water costa on certain floors, some (especially those in the basement) plainly visible to the Men" and "For Colored Men"; I know men of our Race who have been humiliated by seeing these Jim Crow slownight there in the Department of Justice plainly visible to the Men" and I will take the replies to inquiries made by certain employees of your Department—and now as I know your strangely unfair view of the phone from your own lips—and having tried in vain, time and again, to reach Mr. Dangherity on this subject—I cannot help but feel that we shall govern myself accordingly. But one last question I want to ask. Mr. Gibbon—I will want to ask whether or not you will look up that letter I wrote glance over and send me a word of reckon. "Well, I'll think it over." "You may you will think it over—all "Well, I'll think it over." "You may you will think it over--all right, Mr. Olivia." The Announced New York Times has reprinted no further reply from the Olivia he must be still thinking it over. It is still believed that Anthony and Sammy have also been involved. ST.LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1921 and we of other generations—benevolies of their achievements—rise on stepping stones they tilt and in turn build foundations for these to come when we are all gathered to our meeting. We left the cold, gray fog of London for Southampton our sailing point. Here aboard the "Launchest Castle" we began the long journey down the Atlantic. It was a gloomy day and a thoughtful wager of home. We prayed that God was with us as we came. This sustained us. Off the coast of Spain the Squalls of the Bay of Biscay rocked the ship as we came on and on to Capetown. A few days out and we were on the coast for hours. Here we found a new civilization. We climbing to the top of the mountain which Madeira, Island really is, we breakfasted at the "Chafet Restaurant Explanae." Launches surrounded our ship when we were ready to meet the wives, chairs and other household articles. There were the divers, who begged you to throw a shilling in the ocean while whale sharks would dive many feet beneath the ice shelf, gong squirmed, teeth. They were a quintet people and beggars swarmed everywhere I was sorry for them and assisted all I could, going squirmed, gang planks off, and off. The deep sea below, the sky above. Then rushed by a school of porpoises racing the ship and leaping the water. The dying fish, the shark and the whale. The desire of a great forest tree outstretched on the wave came in succession. The plunging of the ship forward then the desire to see land once more gain. From the cool damp cheerless days of London we came to the hot days where trade winds and Equatorial wind drove us to summery attire. Then we eventide and the rain on the sea. Mrs. Vernon and I walked the deck at and looked at the dark blue ocean our home of the winding river there and the Missouri bays beyond. "A night at sea. How weird and beautiful!" The pale yellow moon throuched in the consumer thread cloud so long along the rim of the ocean. Then this moon was lost stars came out to play hide and seek awhile and rival each other with faint reflections on the shimmering waves. We drank in this scene and saw awhile scene until we went to our state room. The next day we found a Southern blowing hard from the Cape of Storms. The billows rose and felt temporarily resembling giant sand and indigo coloured undulating as fast as the wind cascasionally covered by drifting force and spray which added a dash of torror-while the throb, throb, throb of the engine and the ship shuddering-growing like a frightened beast fighting seaset to South Africa could be heard day and night. To add to the strangeness of it all for miles and miles-for days—a lone albatross swirled followed the ship first on the one foot and pushed forward to the shore where we were to live and labor. After the subsidence of a four day storm a clear morning, January 14th. In Table B the entrance to Carpenter High above the surrounding country jutting up out of the ocean stood Table Mountain. These are the pronouns on the table. One peak is called the Lion's Head from resemblance to a mighty lion resting his head on his paw; one is called Devil's Peak and one the Table Land. On top across which with puffy white wind the cloud fleeey white rushes downward and covers it. This cloud is called the "table cloth." A spoutown where we live is a modern door.

The Dutch rule—in the Orange Free State and Transvaal—English Rule as a government in the Union of South Africa under the leadership of that great Dutchman—General Jan C. Snuts. WASHINGTON, T. C. Jump. S. Former President William Howard Taft, may be named the next Chief Justice of the United States. Intimate to the President may pounce the former president, the White House circles, and the reason given for an early decision is the desire of the President to eliminate as much contention for the high office as he can for the affairs where he is exceedingly busy. The suggestion that Mr. Taft may be appointed Chief Justice has hit the colored people of the country with a thumb, and it may be safely said that he is not the only person likely based on what the people record as just grounds. One leader said: "As Chief Justice, Mr. Taft is impossible. He is a man who is genuinely substitute personal information policy for the better and spirit of the law." It is maintained that a Chief Justice should not be so constituted as to wink at the law. It is a singular and very interesting fact, that the late President A. W. Anderson universally admired by Colored Americans appointed by Mr. Taft, was a Southerner, ex-confederate soldier, and a Democrat. The opinions of Chief Justice White always followed the letter and spirit of the law, regardless of all other opinions. President Harding may ultimately appoint former President Taft, but he will do so with the full information of how the majority of Colored Americans, feel on the subject. President Harding is interested in education among Negroes, industrial, and especially in-Thompson and Tuskegee Institutes. MUCH INTEREST IN PROPOSED CRUISE TO LIBERIA DECEMBER 3 The Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 8.—Interest in the cruise to Liberia which widespread, that serious arrangements are under way, by the committee, to increase the number who may go from three to four hundred. The cruise, Washington, is head, and Major William H. York, 529 S. 19th St. Philadelphia, is manager, is being arranged for by the American Travel Club of Baltimore, an organization that handles world travel because of the impression that has entered some places that the tour is under the direction of the Garvel movement. In this subject Dr. Jernigan will speak of the official connection with the cruise whatever, although there are a number who are interested in that movement who will make the cruise as a matter of interest. There has never been a four of Colored Americans planned on such a gigantic scale, and the great ocean liner that will be the home of the tour chartered, the luxuries and appointments of it being an inspiration. Shakespeare has said, "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."

We were so much like you and be so much like you to me. We were so much like you to me. We were so much like you to me. A murderer recently was sentenced to death in one of the Eastern states to a woman judge, after the verdict had been delivered to him and the woman judge of the jury. This forewarned me a most interesting interview after the trial was over: this is the one who has been a mother with a mother daughter, and true as any woman is capable of experiencing. I have no consideration for this sloppy and soft-hearted sort-meditations, which declares we must extend methods in dealing with criminals. "Take the case of this man. There was not an extinguishing circumstance, it was shown he had led a criminal act, and now only 25. He had no regard for life or property. He was capable of earring an honest living and becoming a useful citizen. He displayed no liability. But he chose a career of crime." "The life sentence does not mean that the criminal will be confined for life. Thegovernor may pardon the criminal and come out more vindictive than ever, and even more dangerous to society." "I honestly believe that it is more humane to inflict the death penalty than to commit it to the judicial and the family. I pointed out that we as jurists have done conception of what confinement meant, and that the family would always be thinking of what the man was enduring. Now, when he is dead, he will be thinking of the bed will come. Time will heal the hurt to the family." It is quite apparent from the first paragraph in this remarkable interview that this woman is so surcharged that she requires several years for her super-brand of attrition. She admits it herself. 'However she seems not to care a great deal for "sloppy and softhearted sentimentality". She thinks it is good medicine for a bad disease. Her argument is the old time sophistry. She says: "There was not an extinguishing circumstance. He had been extinguishing circumstances (since he was twelve years of age)... He chose a career of crime." She might have said she was extinguishing circumstances. When one begins a criminal career at twelve years of age, there are extinguishing circumstances whether the ordinary circumstances or not.

Then make good pets and not many of the well-known varieties are polite. According to members of the biology department of the University of Missouri, the black snake, the carter snake, the plum all of which are not known in Missouri, are particularly harmless and should be treated with care. thing. An act is always the result of a thought, and all thoughts have causes. What does this forewoman know about the genesis of thought? Is it honestly honest, but isn't she reasoning from it? Isn't she taken self as a model of virtue, and for instance? She wouldn't commit a murder herself, ergo, one who murders does so as an act of vocation in which all the thoughts are generated. In other words the murderer generates. In other words he can generate a first chase. Emerson says: "We have little to do with our own thoughts. We are the prisoners of ideas." Helen Gardner says: "Buck of every human thought and action is bound to be caused." Frobel says the will is not free, every thought and act is compelled. Spencer says: "We speak of the will as something apart from the feeling us feelings, which, for a moment happens, whereas it is nothing in the feeling it specifies feeling that gains supremacy and determines action. Take away all sensations and emotions and there remains no will. Excite some of these and Will becoming possible, becomes a group of them gains prominence. Until there is a motive (mark the word) there is no will. That is to say, Will is no more an existence separate from the predominate feeling than a king existence separate from the man occupying it. How many of our real kind Christian people know anything about this peculiar phase of psychology? How many of our learned Allenata know anything about the genesis of thought action and knowing, utitile if be contented with the populist and irresponsible consent. "Now, when he is electrocuted and placed under the end, the end will come. Time will heal the hurt to the family." How sweetly touching is this complacent reflection upon her surrections of vision, and her Christian duty. We know that she was a woman of thought. If capital punishment was efflessences in the prevention of murder, but hanging does not pray murder. It is evident that we have a long tradition with her. And legislatures have cleared their vision on a number of psychological problems. Until then we must watch the barbarous prosecution in its passing, with the same sense: "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." —Ryan's Weekly.

COMMENCEMENT Brilliant Exercises With Interesting Events. Honorary Degree Conferred Upon Dr. Bentley Of Chicago. Liberian Commission Guests. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 15.—One hundred alxy-nine (169) degrees were awarded upon graduates of the Howard University by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of the university, at the Fifty-second. Annual Commencement exercises held on the University Campus. Friday, June 16th. 1821. The honorary degree of Doctor of Science was conferred upon Dr. Charles E. Bentley, of Chicago, Illinois. The exercises were preceded by the Academic procession which started from the steps of the Howard University Carnegie Library, at four o'clock, led by the R. O. T. C. band, which played the processional march, and headed by Dr. J. Stanley Durke, president; Dr. Emmett J. Emmett, Secretary-Treasurer; Hon. William H. Lewis of Commencement Orator; and Dr. Charles Edward Bentley of Chicago and commission of Trustees, Deans, Professors and students. Academic and Professional Faculties, Graduates and Alumni. The course of the procession was from the steps of the Library to the Almministration building and down the long walk to the west end of the grounds where an audience of visitors, friends and relatives of the various graduates were assembled to witness the ceremonies. The brilliant colors of the academic costumes flashing in the sun presented a fitting ceremonial picture. Present. President Charles Durbar Bradley King of the Barbarians, former members of the Liberian Presidency; Dr. Ernest Lyons of Baltimore Liberian Conflict General were guests of the University, occupying places of honor on the platform and in the academic procession which preceded the exercises. **Commencement Program.** The invitation by the Reverend Jasper Noble Nelson, Congregational Church of Washington, the exercises, and was followed by an permission by the R. O. T. C. Baldwin after which the Honorable William H. Lewis Boston, Mass., Former Assistant Attorney General of the United States, delivered the commencement address, and the Reign of the Law." Mr. Lewis said: "When I stood here last, I did not hear the peaceful bells calling men and women to the recitation halls, or chapel for a period of study and meditation, but this campus resounded with archaic trump of matching men, heard the chant of students and there passed, in review the Students Arms, Training Corps, 407 men, the very pick and flower of our schools and colleges. Howard University, nestling within the shadow of the Capitol, supported increasingly by the immanent youth, could not fall in with the country's call for trained leaders, ships and unselfish service. The spirit of her great founder and lapper, that great Christian soldier and patriot, General O. O. Hearst, a worthy to stand in history by the side of that great soldier, would have here have HOR-ION Grew this Hair Long and Silky AGENTS WANTED The University will ever cherish the memory of Fairfax, Proctor, Davis, Simmons, Cork and Carter, who gave their all to country and humanity. "To make the next age better for the last." In the words of another line of Lowell's commemoration ode: "Welcome back our bravest and our best. To our living heroes, young Dent, Goodloe, Curley, Jones, Long and Heslip, be ever the pride and glory of Alma Mater." "I depreciate the recent attempt in some quarters upon a plan of sincerity and truth to destroy the splendid bleakism with which the American youth went forth to war, by asserting they would defeat the idealism of the great leader who said, That our object is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world, as against selfish and autocratic power; that they went forth to fight for democracy, for the right of those who subject authority to have a voice in the world." in part of leak, of those great ideals." Have we colored Americans a right to claim a share in the fruits of victory? Have we a right to speak of the lessons of war? when the age-long conflict between the Teuton and American dominion and power and glory had once more set Europe afire, and the congregation was extending wider and farther to other nations, and the whole structure of our modern civilization mounted on the homeland of America, thus challenging, the rights of her nationals upon the high seas violated, in contemptuous disregard of all law, the Colored American asked for a chance to prove his fidelity, loyalty and devotion to American institutions and ideals. Half a million men filled the ranks of our armies; two thousand went over the seas to serve in France and Italy. Whether with Depot brigades, the Stevador regiments, the Engineers, so-called, doing the work and work they did not complain they were happy in such service, along that far-dung battle line from the Ysex to the Marne, with the fight, big units of the army, they bravely met death in every conceivable shape. Their blood and bones, mingled with the sacred soil of France, will nourish the tree of liberty for a thousand years, and make liberty, fraternity and equality an anything worth fighting for, and if need be, worth dying for. Let us believe that in falling upon the battle, their unplifted world, in which equal and democracy shall rule, for some men but for all men; not for white men alone, but for brown, black, yellow and all the children of men." The problems of the world today are not only economic readjustment, the reconstruction of devised regions, the restoration of public order—these follow naturally in the wake of the rebellion but the rebellion also follows along with a give hope of its permanence and perpetuity. The Academic classes of 1921 go forth with an opportunity for service such as jumps to few generations "of college bred men and women." The lessons for the hour, the lesson would have son and daughter and day and night with their fellows, is the lessons taught by the great World War. that the maintenance of the supremacy of the laws, is the first duty to man. "The rule is simple. If each individual keeps to his own orbit; if each nation keeps in its own path, there can be no friction, no clash, no strife. The action of the individual, and the nation may be limited and circumscribed by law, but there will still be freedom of motion sufficient to insure the individual, collective progress, and development of the human race." I cannot doubt that, out of the noise and din of the present conflict, the harsh, discordant sounds of battle and strife, will come a purer harmony, a sympathy divine in which all the children of men, may rejoice.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) ©, 1921, Western Newspaper (Union). LESSON FOR JUNE 19. LESSON TEXT--Luke 4:16-21; Matt 15: 14-40. GOLDEN TEXT—Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.—Matt. 25:40. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Acts 2: 14-47; 8: 4-8. PRIMARY TOPIC—Pleasing Jesus, by Rehman O'Neill. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Saints, by Gave Us. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Making All of Life Christian. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC - Christianity Transforming the Social Order. Again we say not "Making the Social Order Christian," if the committee please. At least these texts selected by the committee do not so teach, for they have no bearing upon the question. Why two texts so widely separated in meaning should be selected to go together under the subject named is in comprehensible. The teacher should therefore ignore the subject chosen and endeavor to bring out the meaning of the texts. 1. Jesus in the Synagogue at Nazareth (Luke 4:16-21). 1. His custom was to go to the house of God (v. 10). He now had come back to the town of his boyhood days and entered the place of worship as was His custom. 2. Jesus reading from the Scriptures (vv. 18-19). He opened the book at the sixty-first chapter of Isaiah and read the Scripture passage which set forth His entire mission. (1) Character of His mission (vv. 18, 19). (a) Preach the gospel to the poor. God has peculiar regard for the poor, and the glory of the gospel is that it comes to the help of the very ones most in need. It puts a ladder at the feet of a man and enables him to climb as high as his ability will permit him. (b) Heal the broken-hearted. How many are the broken-hearted! (c) Preach deliverance to the captives. Those who are in captivity to shn and Satem. Christ can and will deliver (John 8:34-36). (d) Recovering of sight to the blind. Christ not only can open the physicl eyes but the eyes of the spirit as well. (e) Set at liberty them that are bruised. Satah has been most mercilessly bruising men, but the Mighty One has come who can set them free. (f) Preach the acceptable year of the Lord. This was the Year of Jubilee which looked forward to the glorious millennial age (Lev. 25:8-13, 50-54). (2) His endowment (v. 18). The Holy Spirit came upon Christ for the express purpose of fitting Him for His divine mission. Because of this endurement, he cannot fall in His glorious work. (3) His testimony (vv. 20, 21). Having completed the reading, He declared that the Scripture had fulfillment then and there in himself. This was a critical hour for the people. May it be just as critical for the members of every class where this lesson is studied! May there not be rejection like that which followed His testimony at Nazareth! 11. The Judgment of the Nations (Matt. 25:34-40). The biblical unit here is verses 31-40. One cannot intelligently teach the verses selected without their setting; so it would be better to take a survey of the whole. This judgment should be carefully distinguished from what is popularly called "General Judgment." The Bible speaks of different judgments, differing in respect to the subjects, the place, the time, and the results of the judgment. Note the following particulars: 1. The Judge (v. 31). The Son of Man in glory; 2. The time (v. 31). It is when the Lord shall come in His glory accompanied by His glorious refuge of angels. 3. The place (v. 31). It will be on the throne of His glory. This throne will be most surely in the land of Israel. The prophecy of Joel, third chapter, and Zechariah 14:1:5 make it to be in or near Jerusalem. 4. The people judged (vv. 32-45). These people will be the living nations upon the earth after the church has been translated (I. Thess. 4: 16, 17). These nations are the ones to whom the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached just prior to the coming of the Lord (see Matt. 24:14). The preachers of this gospel will be Jews (Rev. 7; Rom. 11). 6. The issue of the judgment (v. 46; cf. 34-41). The sheep enter upon the inheritance of a prepared kingdom (v. 34). The goats go into an everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Their destiny is fixed (v. 46). Hope and Pray Hope and Pray. Let us hope and pray that those who teach and those who worship in the temples of God may never be out of touch with the saints above or the sinners below. When we get out of touch with humanity, we are never in very close touch with Divinity—Uncle Henry's Sayings. On Giving. He that bath, two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.—Luke 3:11.

Ethel Skinker as the wife of Bath gave a charming portrayal of that character. Grace Nasli as the Priores pleased with her rich voice and lovely personality Bernard Pryor acted the part of Chaucer superbly.
