MOB VIOLENCE AND RACE WAR FLAYED AT DETROIT MEETING VOL. X NO. 11 DEBT-SLAVERY THE CAUSE OF LYNCHING AND MOB VIOLENCE William Pickens In Pamphlet Declares "In South Today No Man. White Or Black Is Free To Speak Truth About The Race Problem. Statements Of N. A. A. C. P. Field Secretary Are Indorsed By American Civil Liberties Union Of Which Roger Baldwin Is A Director. A searching attack on the system of debt-gravel in the South today as the cause of lynching and mob violence has just been published in pamphlet form by the American Civil Liberties Union, with headquarters in New York City. The statements and conclusions of the author, William Pickens, field secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, are endorsed by the Civil Liberties Union, which declares in an introduction that "in the South today no man white or black, is really free publicly to speak the truth about the race problem. We believe this pamphlet to be the essential which we advocated South white men and women who tell us privately that it is the truth." Roger N. Baldwin, a director of the Union, pointed out the economic causes of the recent Tuba mob violence as just another demonstration of the truth of the general proposition. Among the striking statements made by Mr. Pickens in the pamphlet are these: "Lynching and mob violence are only methods of economic repression. Lynching is most prevalent where Negro labor is most exploited; and the spread of mob violence, against colored people, has followed the spread of this exploitation. It is either directly to the efforts of the exploiting class to repress the Negro. It is the 'indirect resentment of the laborers of other racial groups against the exploitation of Negro labor to this disdainment. This is the difference between Georgia and East St. Louis." **Where Lynchings Occur.** "It is instructive to note where most lynchings take place. In thirty years the seven states which led in lynching, are in the order Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Along with Alabama, Georgia and Texas, therefore, we have the great southern Mississippi Valley; a region which might be termed "the American Coffee." "The quest of this 'Congo is not for rubber and ivory, but cotton and sugar. Here labor is forced, and the laborer THREE MEN AND POLICEMAN HURT BY A LIVE WIRE It has been almost impossible to obtain an exact account of just what happened when three Colored men and a policeman were hurt by a live wire, last Saturday in the town where Flies, Plates and Fairyfax were about 60 feet west of Sarah street. The difficulty lies in the fact that all who were near the accident were too excited to recall in detail the facts. The injured were: Writer J. Lewis, 4126 Fairfax; John Kirk, 4102 Fairfax; W. M. Moffit, 4124 Fairfax; and Patrolman Patrick Looney of 6030 Horton Place. A Knockle telephone wire had broken and fainted in the foot wire a Persons living in the neighborhood had noticed the wire for two days, and the company had been notified. The best account was obtained from Mr. Moffit who is confined to his bed suffering from the shock. He states that he was at 412a Fairfax when his attention was called to a man struggling in the alley. Rushing to assist, he took off his hat and grabbed the wire. Mafft says Newls rushed up with a piece of tin and when Mafft turned the wire touched the tin and threw him to the ground; he falling on it. / Lewis was badly burned, the flesh being cooked to a crisp on one side and soaking in the water. Hospital No. 2, when he was said to be near death when the Arguin went to press, Patrolman Loyner rushed to the scene and it seems that the steel revolver strapped over his left hip attracted the wire. He was thrown against a fence insuring his shoulder and consisting other injuries. He was taken into a hospital nearby. Mafft says he did not know he was hurt up a half hour later when he collapsed while working. He is suffering from the 'deck, deat in the left car and right arm partially paralyzed. His fell hat shows furrows from contact with the wires.

In congratulating the Mussons and their guests, upon the large attendance, Mr. Clark said: "Breechn and friends, the georgians and active manner in which you have labored to make St. John's Day an auspicious occasion, and the wonderful crowd that is present here tonight, are the highest proofs of your respect, for me.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People CARRIE JOHNSON IS GIVEN FREEDOM IN MURDER CASE Charge Against Seventeen Year Old Washington, D. C. Girl, Growing Out Of The Riot, Is Nolle Prossed. Late Justice Was Worried On His Death Bed About His Decision Rendered Against Her And Asked For A New Trial. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 29— The mills of the gods grind slow but sure, and so it is in the case of Miss Carrie Johnson, who was convoked on a charge of manslaughter, before Justice Gould last January, in con- NECTION with the killing of Detective Sergt. Harry Johnson during the race of July 19, and when he was when United States Attorney John E. Lasky, notle pressed the case before Justice Sidons. The case has been a long drawn one and has been bitterly fought by the attorneys on both sides. Miss Johnson was arrested on the night of July 21, 1919, when the riot was at its height, on the charge of killing Detective Wilson, who entered the Johnson home at 229 G. street, N. W. Her father, Richard Johnson was also arrested at this time. They were con- served in January 1921, after 18 months of the At this trial her father was given his freedom and Miss Johnson was released under a, five thousand dollar bond. A Dying Judge's Plea A verdict was brought against Miss Johnson charging her with mislaunching. A motion for a new trial was immediately asked by her attorneys, Gaskins and Watson; on a plea of self defense, which was denied by her Justice Gould, however during Time Warner's trial. She said she had Siddons to his bedside and there told him that he could not die in peace with this girl's cause, insisted and that it was clear in his mind that she should have a new trial for there was doubt in his mind as to her being guilty. When her attorneys went before Justice Siddons with the motion for a new trial, Justice Siddon said: "In sustaining the motion for a new trial of the points of law presented by the judge, I have been told that the condition leading up to the riot and deplored the fact that such a stain could be put upon the name of Washington City. Often it has been said that a platform and press that this government of laws and not of men, but the time has come when we must either make this true or, stand condemned before the nations of the world. I can easily understand the state of the defendant's mind, when she, a girl of only seventeen, was going that with my conversation with the hate Justice Gould, I grant the motion for a new trial. The case was called last week, and was not pressed by the United States Attorney and Justice Siddons pro-state board of parole.

Grover Cleveland Redding and Oscar McMacklin were hanged on last Friday. Redding, self-styled "emperor of Abassina" and McGavick "governor general" were deified in commutation to life imprisonment by Gov. Small who said he would investigate the公阶 state board of parole. They originally sentenced to be hanged April 22, but were given a reprieve until June 24 so that the board might investigate their claims for lenency. Both made pleas to the governor's action was their last hope for life. They were convicted for the murder of Robert L. Rose, a surrender attested by the prosecution. Other Negroes tried with then were acquitted. The murder of Josee and Joey Hays, a eagle clerk, was the culmination of a "back to Abassina" movement fostered by Redding who preached at street corner meetings to Negroes on racial equality an existing here and of racial equality that would exist if they followed him to promised land. The campaign "the burning of the American flag" was to be "beading" expression of contempt for this government. It took place at 35th and Indiana avenue. Rose, in full uniform, dirted from the side walk to rescue the flag from the fire. As he shouted "You can't burn my flag," he was killed by a rattle bullet. Several policemen rushed to the scene and firing became general. Hoye was killed by a string bullet. The police station for an insultary hearing. Judge George Keston said it had not been made in good faith. Contrary to the usual custom of turring water the bodies of men executed to an undertaker the moment they were cut down, Sheriff Peters retained possession of them for more than an hour. He gave as his reason that reports had reached him recently that an attempt had been made to restore life to the body of a man hanged recently in the county jail after it had left the custody of the county authorities. The bodies of Redling and McGavick eventually were turned over to McGavick's brother, who is an undertaker.

The Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 29 President Harding has given assurance to visitors who have discussed the matter to criticize it on moral matters, that he will not, "fall" the Colored people of America. The reaction from recent developments and trends of policy, has created a stir among voters and citizens generally that is almost equal to an election. The dying embers of Tuska's massacre, together with the labor situation and the gloomy news of justice, have the people in a sorry frame of mind. It is well then that the Executive head of the government comes forward with a note of encouragement. The question, however, is on the denation of the term "fall." President Harding may seriously re- of the opinion that he has not failed, provided he makes a certain line of appointments, and pursues the policy of the South, on the Negro question.

Mr. Dameron is a shotgun man, a husband of a farm of meat and two cows for 151 acres of land. But today he is "Mr. Dameron" in Sheridan county having horses and cattle galore.

There were 250 automobiles in line. Storey Principal Speaker President Moorefield Storey was the principal speaker. In the course of his remarks he declared: "The work of putting an end to attacks upon the Negro's rights cannot be trusted to policemen, elective judges, and prosecutors afraid to antagonize the voters on whose support their election depends. They must bring the civilized nations of the world we must condemn and punish American ruffianism at least as severely as we would if it were German. Wouldn't Live In South Judge Ira J. Wayne made a slashing attack upon the "ruling class" of the south, characterizing them as "the descendants of the gregers of the ancient world, bagger, garagist, profiteer and some of the worst back wash" of the Civil War. "They hide behind the mob," he exclaimed, "and encourage lynching as a sport. I would advise Negroes at all costs to come north and bring their friends and families with them that they may be among men. I would rather creep the swamps of our river streams than live in the south if I were a Negro." Condemn Tula Rioting Other-speakers condemned the recent race war in Tulsa, and documents were read purporting to prove the trouble arose from an hysterical girl who became frightened because a Negro boy stumbled and caught her arm to save himself from falling, and from a yellow newspaper which there was talk of lynching, causing the Negroes to attempt a rescue of the boy from jail. Statements from the sheriff, the governor and other officials were read to support this statement. Urge U. S. Anti-Lynch Law. A resolution was ordered adopted and sent to President Harding, making him for his message, meeting the press, and pressing need for a federal antitraching law in order to end as quickly as possible what is not only crime against colored American citizens, but a menace to our institutions of law and order and a shame upon the nation.

DELANY SCHOOL PICNIC At a meeting of the Delany School Pitrine's Association, held Tuesday night at Quincy Chapel, a report of the recent picnic was made as follows: Recorder ..... $500.00 Excusee ..... $212.00 Balance in the Treasury ..... $137.68 This balance will be used for the benefit of the school, at the suggestion of the principal. When you see its hobby-horse action you will choose the Wayne for your washer. The generous-sized smooth copper tub tilts gently to and fro showering the clothes as they glide back and forth with sparkling hot suds that cleans every thread of fabric. Nothing can be simpier than the Wayne principle (only 17 moving parts in all). Nothing could wash better both the daintiest and coarsest of things. Washday's toils and troubles leave your house when the Wayne enters. Let it be soon. Why shouldn't electricity wash your clothes the same as it does in nearly a million other homes? But be sure you decide on the Wayne—with the hobby-horse action. Will you see our store demonstration or do you prefer a test on your own things at home? AT THE Y. W. C. A.

This drama of every importance to all mothers, wives, daughters as well as fathers and husbands in as much as it dwells with the dangers of wayward life in any community.

The story was adapted to the screen from the volumes of the late Governor George Peck. The subtiltes were written by Iryb Cobb, the famous illustrator. Only the best of the books, the movies, the Peck have been included in the screen version. After these portions were put into story form, the story itself, it is said, was revised to better suit the talents of Jackie.

The slavery is a sunningly contrived debt slavery to give the aggrance of civilization and the sanction of law. A debt of a few hundred dollars may the a black man and his family of ten as securely in bondage to a great white planter as if he hnd purchased their bodies. The only way for this debt slave to get free from such a master is to get some one else to pay his debt; that is to sell himself to another, with added charges, expenses of moving and bonuses. By this method the enslave gets his bondmen cheaper than in a regular slave system, for in the debt system he does not have to pay, the full market price for a man. "This is the system that obtains in the great Mississippi Valley, and it has not been modified for thirty years or more. The evil of this system is responsible for all of the massacres for patrols and for all of the horrible lynchings and burnings of individual Negroes that have lately taken place in these regions. 4. "If we examine any, even the most complicated, of these 'race' troubles, we will find some economic wrong at the bottom, some trouble about wages or work or property. The existence of such a cruel and unfelt and the other week, simply lends greater opportunity and free play to human greed and social injustice. The Ban on Negro Prosperity. "It is therefore intelligible that when race riots break out, especially in the South, the prosperous and well-to-do colored men who own business and property, the really most worthwhile members of their race, are the ones most likely to be forged to leave the community. They may be compelled to abandon all their property posthaste to get away with their lives, and not being allowed to return, they must sell out at a great loss.

A committee of prominent citizens sometimes including the mayor or the chief of police of the sheriff, will call on the colored man and warn him to leave, either openly exposing the cause of the mob or declaring their inability to restrain the mob. "When a colored family is thus driven out on exterminated, prominent mention is always made of their prosperity as an indirect emphasis on their general offensiveness. Rare, and Lurking. "One of the most successful illusions in the history of human relations is the opinion that the extraordinary disposition to lynch Negroes in the United States is due to some extraordinary tendency of the man of that race to commit rape. We call this illusion the race-based lynchery, lied by many, if not by most, white people. But facts and evidence point in the opposite direction, that Africans and their descendants are exceptionally uninhibited to this particular violence. The appeal has been wonderfully successful, in an old revered tradition. He is a moving motive that will instify him in the moral sentiments of his people. "But it should be noted that in the United States the most powerful slaughter and lynchings of colored persons in the last few years have been occasioned by any matter of sex; the massacre at East St. Pauls, Ill., in 1917; the multiple lynchings of Brooks and Lowndes County, Ga., in 1918; the Chicago riots in 1919; the Elaine, Ark. massacre in 1919; and the burning of Henry Lowry at Nodens, Ark. in 1921. Class Rule The Cause. "Most of the lynching evil is tracable to economic wrong. There is a conviction that the Negro as a class is to be kept under inhuman society; that when a black man works and sweats, it is not primarily for his own good but for the good of the dominant race in America. This is class-feeling. It is the offspring of the slave system. If the Negro attempt to rise above this condition, he is likely to be exposed sternly and must be exposed sternly and recoiled. The Negro, who by thrust and hard work rises above this preconceived status, becomes an offender like one who is getting to violate the sanctions of a religion.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO SUIT AGAINST BAXTER MGRARY COMPROMISED Sensational North Carolina Divorce Case Involving Wealthy Negro Real Estate Owner, Settled And Withdrawn From Court. GREENSBORO, N. C., June 24.—All the sensational Varner litigation, save that concerning a divorce which grew out of the hating of Raxter McRary, wealthy Colored Lexingtonian, underneath the floor of the Varner Tuesday morning. August 10, were settled to the satisfaction of all concerned when attorneys from Lexington met with local attorneys, agreed upon the conditions of the compromises, and signed the necessary papers to make the agreements binding. Mrs. Florence C. Varner, wife of H. E. Varner, white, gets a sum of money said to be about $20,000, the suit of H. R. Varner against McLary for $100,000 is withdrawn, the suit of Fritts vs. Walser is settled, Mrs. Varner is to go to her home in Utah, and it is understood, she will enter suit for a divorce there, which suit, it is said, will not be opposed. The exact provisions of the settlement of the cases are not known, the lawyers agreeing—among themselves to keep the terms a secret. All sides, nevertheless, seemed absolutely satisfied and to feel that they had each won a victory. Who pays Mrs. Varner the money and how much she gets is not known, although it is known that she receives a considerable sum, and persistent rumors have it that the amount is around $20,000. It is thought that McRary pays a handsome sum, perhaps the same amount that Mrs. Varner gets, although the settlement of the contest between Mrs. Varner and Mr. Varner is said to be one settlement and that of Mr. Varner and McRary another entirely separate and distinct. In other words, friends of Mrs. Varner allege that no mention of the Varner alleged McRary litigation was made in arriving at a settlement of the case of Varner vs. Varner. They further claim that she has won a victory over her husband, that he is paying her whatever she gets. Concerning the settlement of the $100,000 suit against McRary, it is understood that it is withdrawn with the understanding that McRary is to pay Mr. Varner about $20,000. Although it is said that both Mr. and Mrs. Varner have said that they would not receive a cent of Mr. McRary's money, after all Mr. Varner pays Mrs. Varner and McRary repays Mr. Varner. That is the view favorable to Mrs. Varner. The other reasons to where the money comes from is that Mr. Varner simply allows the money to pass through his hands, Mrs. Varner getting McRary's money after all. This gets the two big suits out of the way—that of Mrs. Florence C. Varner vs. H. B. Varner, in which the plaintiff asked for $50,000, alleging her husband abandoned her and will- fully and maliciously turned her out of doors", which was tried before Judge James E. Beyd in federal court in February and decided in favor of the defendant, but later was declared a mistrial, and that of H. B. Varner vs. Baxter McRary, in which the plaintiff asked for $100,000 on the ground that McRary deliberately sought to and succeeded in, wrecking the domestic life of the plaintiff by invading the Varner home in the absence of Mr. Varner. Both cases have been pending in federal court. There is no divorce action pending, although Mr. Varner filed suit for divorce at the same time he entered a suit against McHary. He said in the Superior court of Davidson, but the case was thrown out on the grounds that a state law requires plaintiffs to wait at least six months after the alleged cause for divorce takes place. In other words, the suit was started too soon. One angle of approach to a compromise is that the cases were settled upon the basis of Mrs. Varner's innocence, although members of the opposing case college that such is not the case, that from none of the steps taken by Mr. Varner does he back down. ORGANIC UNION CHIEF TOPIC AT A. M. E. COUNCIL The Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, IL. June 29.—Racial adjustment was the principal topic discussed at the A. M. E. Church's Bishops Council which closed its annual meeting here last Saturday morning. The Council met in the old historic Bethel Church and the sessions were largely attended by the public. Organic Union and Fraternal Union were the other big topics discussed. The question of Organic Union with other large bodies of Methodists was the most warmly debated by the Council. While the question was laid aside for the present it was earnestly presented as one of "the most vital questions now confronting Methodism throughout the world." On the other hand, Fraternal Union was advocated, and the Secretary of the Council, Bishop J. Albert of Philadelphia, was instructed to conduct such correspondence as would encourage the favorable action of all Methodists on this particular matter. The Bishops in attendance at the Council were: Benjamin F. Lee, of Wilberforce, Ohio; Levi J. Coppi, of Philadelphia, Pa.; C. S. Smith of Detroit, Mich.; William H. Heard of Philadelphia, Pa.; John R. Hurst of Baltimore, Md.; I. N. Ross of Washington, D. C.; A. J. Carey of Chicago; Il.; H. B. Parks of Chicago, Ill.; W. W. Becket of Brooklyn, N. Y.; W. W. Chappelle of Columbia, S. C.; J. M. Conner of Little Rock, Ark.; W. W. Johnson of Plains, Ga.; W. A. Fountain of Atlanta, Ga.; and J. Albert Johnson of Philadelphia, Pa. The Connecional Council, comprised of the heads of departments of the church also held session during the week. Among the more prominent men in attendance were: Dr. Reverley C. Ranson, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review; Dr. John R. Hawkins, general financial secretary of the Church; Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of The St. Louis Argus the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the connection. **Seen And Heard At The Bishops' Council.** All of the bishops were present except Bishops Tanner, Vernon and Brooks. Bishop Tanner was ill; Bishop Vernon was in Africa and Bishop Brooks was engaged in a record breaking trip from Africa, in order to reach the Council on time. The delay of 24 hours in quarantine of New York after a 20 day dash from the Black Continent was heartbreaking and the entire Council and Conference were watching his progress. The Connection Council reminded one very much of a political, "powwow." The brethren were gathered in groups of twos and threes, rolling leks for the next general conference. The venerable Bishop B. F. Lee, the scholarly J. Albert Johnson, together with other associates on the bench lent an air of dignity to the occasion which Chicago appreciated, Bishop Levi J. Coppin was the active host, and was seconded most ably by Bishop Archibald J. Carey, who, because of his residence and power in Chicago, was able to turn the keys of the city over to the Council. He had Mayor William Hate Thompson present with them at the Quinn Chapel Welcome Banquet—Rev. Stewart—host. The younger men were much in evidence. Rev. Noah W. Williams, brilliant pastor of Bethel of Louisville, was mentioned as the most likely candidate for missionary Secretary. Financial Secretary, John R. Hawkbus had to return-home before the session was over because of the illness of his wife. Among the younger men who were most active - were the Rev.

June 29, 1921-The Bureau of the Census Department of Commerce, issues a preliminary statement, giving the composition of the population of the United States according to color or race, as shown by the census taken as of January 1, 1920. Distribution By Color Or Race The total population of the United States, 105,710,620, comprises 91,822,431 white persons, 10,463,013 Negroes, 242,959, Indians, 11,025, Japanese, 61,686 Chinese, 5,563 Filipinos, 2,505 Hindus, 1,230 Koreans, and 147 others (Siamese, Hawaiians, Malaysians, Maoris, and Samoans). The corresponding figures for 1910 were as follows: 81,731,957 white persons, 9,827,763 Negroes, 255,683, Indians, 72,157 Japanese, 71,531 Chinese, 160 Filipinos, 2,545 Hindus, 462 Koreans and others (Minoris). The rates of increase for the principal races during the decade were: Total population, 14.9 per cent; white, 16 per cent; Negro, 6.5 per cent; Japanese, 53.9 per cent. The Indian population decreased by 8.6 per cent and the Chinese population by 13.8 per cent. White Population The rate of increase in the white population during the recent decade, 16 per cent, is considerably less than the corresponding rate for the period 1910-1920, which was 223 per cent. This decline is accounted for mainly by the great reduction in the volume of immigration during the period of the World War. An estimate based on the excess of births over deaths and on the excess of immigration over emigration yields a total differing by only a small fraction of 1 per cent from the total white population enumerated.

This decline is accounted for mainly by the great reduction in the volume of immigration during the period of the World War. An estimate based on the excess of births over deaths and on the excess of immigration over emigration yields a total differing by only a small fraction of 1 per cent from the total white population emmurated. Negro Population. The rate of increase in the Negro population, which is not perceptibly affected by immigration or emigration, is by far the lowest on record. This element of the population has been growing at a rapidly diminishing rate during the past 30 years, its percentage of increase having declined from 15 per cent between 1890 and 1900 to 11.2 per cent during the 10 years ended January 1, 1920. Such data as are available in regard to birth and death rates among the Negroes indicate that the birth rate has decreased considerably since 1900, while the death rate has not changed greatly. The following statement shows the Negro population in 1920 and 1910, with the rates of increase during the North and the West. The line between the North and South follows the boundaries of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia/Kentucky, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The West is that part of the country lying west of the eastern limits of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Negro Population.

MEMPHIS, Team, June 29—Hundreds of citizens from surrounding sections gathered at the depot at Pops Station, Miss., and were in the act of hauling as a great hero Constable H. W. Hubbard, who had just killed a Negro supposed to be Sherman Richmond charged with insulting a white girl at Memphis. The body of the Negro was surrounded by boys and men as it lay on the ground awaiting the arrival of train for Memphis, and dogs came along and sneaked away while the heartless mob spat tobacco juice on the dead form. POPULATION OF UNITED STATES BY DIVISIONS AND STATES:1920 Among the spectators was Doctor Witkker, a rich white plantation owner of Cowden, Miss. Upon taking a second glance at the Negro, exclaimed "Why fellows, you're killed the wrong nigger. That nigger has been working for me for several weeks on my plantation and was known as Kentucky Moton." "The little bigoty constable that a few minutes before had been lauded a hero after telling how the Negro offered night when accosted and how he had filled his body with lead from his hardy pistol, grew intensely excited. He had telephoned the officers at Memphis "I got your man Richmond," and the dogs and posse that had been on the pursuit of Richmond had been called in, thinking that the Richmond Negro had been killed. The facts are that the constable who was destroys of gaining a reputation came upon the defenseless and innocent Negro and seeing that he was a stranger, deliberately shot him down. Richmond has not been captured as yet. The constable was not arrested on the smallest charge. Population Of Arkansas The Associated Negro Press.

CURRENT TOPICS By W. H. A Moore (By The Associated Negro Press) Two Negroes were hanged in the city of Chicago not long since. They were charged, tried and convicted for murder. The victim was a white sailor who was killed during a street fracas following the burning of a flag as part of a ceremony held at the end of a street parade in which the men hanged were participants. Two very foolish men. They called themselves Negroes and more foolishness. They were fostering a desire had for its object the objection of Africa from the third half of the white man. Still more foolishness. And yet the feeling for freedom is not more, foolishness, although at times it may be foolishly expressed. It must be admitted that the burning of the nation's emblem by these two unfortunate stressed a situation to tragic proportions that had, in its beginning, decidedly come opera aspects. But why this trasties? · A Negro woman was about to put an end to the way she appeased by the principals when the fire was promptly extinguished his pains. His was a yelp of hostility which is gripping at the very vultures of the nation. A sort of waying perspective of life that is bringing us dire situations of life conduct from all the points off his national compass. It is not pessimist to contend to assert that perpetuity of American social order is an unhealthy social organ. Neither is it unpatriotic to assert that the perpetuity of American institutions does not depend on burning the nation's emblem structures for burning individuals who may choose to interfere with the program. Peonage and murder is punished with life imprisonment; lynching is tolerated and grass unpinned; ignorance is maintained among a considerable number of Americans with a temper of idiot that stands astounding in the nakedness. This is the background of the Chicago hanging. It is the outline of these unworthy refractions of purity and dishevelment contempt for the flag and dishevelment contempt among the weaker minded of the nation's elements. But this condition must not deter us from doing our utmost to make the world truly safe for Democracy. A party of rich Jews protested against the presence of Negroes in a Paris cabaret recently. In Chicago, the family of an Irish policeman proclaimed the presence of a Negro family and purchased the house next door to the cabaret. The Jews are fighting prejudice in every section of the civilized world and this includes Henry Ford. The Irish are having the time of their tempestuous lives fighting for tolerance and liberty in the beautiful land of Ireland. "Twas ever time," sang one of the Emerald Isle sweetest singers. Dr. A. J. Offord a young Colored physician in the city of Chicago is doing a generous bit of volunteer service. He has organized a "Black Cross" nurse association and his devoting his spare time to the superintendency of a well equipped school for the purpose of training young Colored women for the work in the city of Chicago. Dr. Minton is doing the same character of work in the city of Chicago as the policeman he has looks the real physician. There is a larger duty than the mere making of money. When its prompts are met with the performance of disinterested service we can begin to look forward to the time when our professional men will take a truly high pace among the rare people who are attending at the higher universities of their city. (By REV. B. P. RITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bills in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (B. I. L. Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR JULY 3 THE EARLY LIFE OF SAUL. LESSON TEXT—Acts 11:24, Deut. 6:4-8, or 11:14, 11:15 GOLDEN TEXT—Today if you will hear his voice, harden your hearts—Heb. 3:7, 4:7 Jewish Boy Life FOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Saul's Early Training and Education. We are now entering a six months' study of the life and teachings of one of the greatest men who ever lived. J. Saul's Rights (London, 1978) 1. Saur's birth (Acts 21:39). His parents belonged to the tribe of Benjamin and were "Hebrews of the Hebrews," that is, Jews who have not become contaminated in their ancestry through intermarriage with the Gentiles (Phil. 3:3). 1. Time of it. It is impossible to determine the exact year of his birth, but the probability is that it was practically the same as that of Jesus. He was a "young man" when Stephen was stoned (Acts 7:58). "Young man" may mean any age from twenty to thirty. About 60 A. D. In the Roman prison he calls himself "Paul the aged" (Philemon 9). This distinction would hardly be appropriate for a man under sixty. 2. Place of (v. 39). Tarsus, the capital of the Province of Cilicia. Representative business men came here from all parts of the world. It was a self-governing city which made citizenship therein honorable. Besides, it was one of the three great educational centers of the Roman empire. God's providence ordered that the apostle to the Gentiles should be born in a city where he would encounter men of every class and nation, making him broad in sympathy and tolerant in his dealings with others. II. Saul's Home Training (Dest. 6: 40; cf. II Tit. 3:14,15). He was brought up in a plaus home (Phil. 3.5). In the passages cited above is given the responsibility of a Jew in the training of his children. 1. Central truths to be-taught (v. 4.5). (1) Unity of God, "The Lord our God is one Lord." This was a testimony against the polytheism existing among the Gentiles of that day. He is God alone, therefore to worship another is sin. The word translated "God" is plural in form, giving room for the doctrine of the Trinity—Kather, Son and Holy Spirit. The great need of the world is a recognition of the fundamental doctrine of the unity and trinity of the Godhead. There can be no established order until God is given His rightful place; neither can there be any moral health. (2) Man's supreme obligation (v. 5). God should be loved with all the heart, soul and might, because He's God alone and supreme. This being the first and great commandment, we know what is man's supreme duty. 2. How these truths are to be kept alive (vv. 6-9). The place for God's Word is in the heart. In order that it may be in the heart (1) "teach it diligently to thy children" (v. 7). The most important part of a child's education is that given by parents in the Word of God. (2) Talk of them in the home. (v. 7). How blessed is that home where God's Word is the topic of conversation. (3) Talk of them when retiring for the night. (v. 7). The last thing upon which the mind should rest before going to sleep should be God and His truth. (5) Talk of them when rising in the morning. (v. 7). How fitting that God should speak to us the first thing when we awake! (5) Bind them upon thine hand. (v. 8). This was literally done by the Jewah, even to the wearing of little boxes between their eyes. (7) Write them upon the posts of the houses and on the gates. (v. 8). Doubless Timothy's home training was similar to Saul's (11 Tim. 3:14, 15). From a child Timothy was taught the Holy Scriptures (11 Tim. 1:5). This was done in the home by his mother. 2.1. Saul's Education (Acts 22:3). 1. In college at Jerusalem. A Jewish child became a child of the law at the age of thirteen. Most likely at this age he went to Jerusalem to enter upon his course of study. Here he sat at the feet of Gameliel, one of the most eminent teachers that ever blessed Israel. The course of study here was restricted to the Holy Scriptures. 2. A trade at Tarus. Perhaps after blishing his college course at Jerusalem he returned to Tarus and learned a trade. One rabbi said, "He that teacheth not his son a trade dewdoth the same as if he had taught him to steal!" The trade he learned was rent making. This came in very good in his later life, enabling him to support himself while preaching the gospel. A Handful' With Quietness. Better is an handful with quietness, in both the hands full with travel and vexation of spirit—Ecclesiastes 1:6. Meet Each Other. Who can measure the difference between the great sun and that little blade of grass? Yet the grass has all the sun it can need or hold. In walking on God his greatness and your lifetime out and meet each other most wonderfully. Her Andrew Murray.

Browni who was reported as saying that the people asked for a plank and the Republican Party gave them a spinner," remarked the political philosopher, "and now I wondering were she right." "Yes," remarked the G. A. R. man, Frederick Donglass, said, "The Republican Party is the skin, all else the sea." I ask, are we nearing a shipwreck?

The comments were given first position and race as well as daily newspapers were quoted.

New York, and the Washington manager informed the Associated Negro Press representative, that Col. Simmons of KUX maternity, had written Mr. Fox a letter commending the picture and adulating it as "it is one outlaw of Negroism against another" said one. Not knowing its import, it was shown at the Howard theatre and was hissed. Robert R. Church, who since the first of March has been in Washington helping to shape up the Harding administration program, has returned, with his family, to his home in Memphis, Tehn. Mr. Church has demonstrated real leadership during his stay in Washington, and his departure at this time, although on matters of personal business, is regarded with some significance. It is expected, however, that he will return to Washington in a short time. Thomas Waller Swann, of Philadelphia, has started an illustrated publication called "Ebony."

Pressed to the wall, dying, but—fight- ing back Big politics, more than big business, is the immediate and common problem which we have to race. Politics is the gateway to everything government has to center or to withhold the benefits that the government real advancement in industrial conditions, no vital change in government can come excepting through the instrumentality of politics. And that is the only legitimate function that politics has—to serve as the agency for the application of economic and moral principles to the life of the people. Politics should be only the means to that. But modern political organization has no in itself. This end is office and the ever-increasing apolls and perquisites of office. Politics, the servant, the incidental thing, has grown so great as to over shadow and subordinate all else in government. The problem is to demote politics from principal to agent in government. Readers and Advertisers You Are requested to Observe the Following Rules For Submitting Copy To The St. Louis Argus "Waitin' for the Plums to Fall" (By William Pickens—The Associated Negro Press) Months ago when we heard that the White House had appointed one of its Colored servants as "Master of the House," there was a disposition there to trifle with the Colored people share in self-governing America. And yet the Colored people, especially the "inside" politicians, have continued to hope and hope. It is a very Hopeful race, the Negro race. It is quick to believe. It thought that the Great War would make all things right. And then when Harding was elected, in spite of the warnings from the White House, the thing was over but the shoutin'; and that, we would soon have anti-lynchment, etc, etc. LOCAL NOTICES Will Be Accepted Until Thursday Noon. Strict Observance of These Rules, only, will Insture Publication. The Periscope Associated Negro Press "If We Must Die." ( By Claude McKay) "It is our opinion that if some independent-minded Northern Democrat had been elected, he would have been fairer to his Colored supporters than the present Republican administration has so far shown itself. This administration talks, but does nothing; it speaks all sorts of noble sentiments about disarmament, "associations" for the war, and "war crimes." But it is afraid, apparently, to do anything, even to appoint a Colored man to the little old traditional Colored man's job of signing himself "Register of Treasury." What is the cause of this? Is it due altogether to the opportunities of this administration, or is it partly due to the poor grade of Negro politicians with which we have been burdened by the lack of opportunities would be inviolent. On the whole, men have commanded more respect in Washington? There are, of course, some exceptionally worthy men among the Negro political aspirants, and we could name them, but to call names would be inviolent. On the whole, men have been hired and paid off" during the campaign, and the sung security of this big Republican majority does not feel it owes them' anything further.

They would much prefer to have seen these men stay out of Washington and let the administration take the initiative, the urge, the generosity, the culinary self-sacrifice, and have furnished our enemies with good clubs with which to keep us out of our group dues. And every four years now, we are blessed with an outspoken of this grade politicians. We never hear of them during the slow fight of the seasons against the evils that beset us, but they spring up every four years, like a race of quadrennial plants—or change the simple, they swarm like fire. Republican committees molasses barrel is opened up or spilled over. And still they are waiting "for something to turn up" in a machine-laden shadow-saving administration, and we are all a ledged by their humiliation. And these same men used to swell out that chests at our banquets last fall, and when we wanted to cry out for something, they would say with cryple eyebrows: "Shee-zee don't do that. That would spoil everything we have just had" a talk with the President elser, and he would say with the interest of those will be properly taken care of." They impressed everybody that they were "on the inside" that everything was "all right" and that all we had to do is "wail" and "give the President n chance." Colored people, faithful, nobly believing, have fallen for that sort of bimcombe time and again. What most of these politicians were really afraid of, was, that if the Colored people made too loud a noise they were going to hear, their thought they were about to snap their hats down on. The "interests of the lace" meant nothing but these jobs. It is our opinion that if the group of inside Negro politicalistas had shown themselves absolutely unconcerned about jobs or pay, but dead in earnest about the welfare and statue of their whale group, even the jobs would have sooner been offered. It is not to forget if every Colored man in politics could for six months forget he ever wanted a job, and make the President and Congress believe that what possesses his soul is a desire for an anti-lynching law and a law to direct it: Jim Crowism, and a vote for every man who is same age free from crime. If we could have these rights nothing would be more important than a greater number of offices than any administration is ever likely to "give" us. When we were boys, the older, sun-suiciming member of our family, used to tell a story of Africans: that batter cakes grew on trees there, known as "flap-back trees", stood close over "mollasses ponds", and that all the Africans had to was to wait on their books under the trees till a gust of wind blew some of the flap-back into the mollasses who then recoiled in a stick, and drew them out to fall. It seems to us that the life of these Africans must have been every bit as hopeful and charming as that of the Colored men of Washington who have been "waiting for the Plums to Full." EXALFED DADA (From Washington Times Daily) A missionary has just brought to this country four children of the Bushman tribe of Africa. This tribe, according to the missionary, wear no clothes and have an exalted opination of white men, whom they call "Dada". They called the missionary "Big Du da' It is a pity that the whole tribe did men deserve that. Any group of people that has an exalted opinion of white men deserves a free sight-seeing trip around the world. Of course they would miss the greatest show that the whit man ever staged—the spectacle of five hundred million of Dudas in a state of war with one another. But their bravery and the devotion and duel and five million Dudas still in a state of war even after the war is over. They would also be in time to see two exalted white men sing each other with a million Dadas breathlessly awaiting the outcome. And they could watch the developments of Daria Stillman's exalted affairs, become accustomed with Daria Sims and the Daria reformers and many other Dadas who are contributing to the exaltation of the white man. It would be a great educational trip for them. When they got back to Africa they might perhaps have an exalted opinion of Bushmen. FOR BETTER CLOTHES J SHANK 1312 OLIVE ST.

Drake was on the hill for the locals, and allowed six hits and held the Buckeyes in check while the Giants recorded him spectacular support and made plays that caused the splendid week-day crowd to applaud fusty manner.
