ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IS NOW BEFORE THE U.S. CONGRESS L. C. DYER OF ST. LOUIS IS PUSHING THE MEASURE Special To The Argus WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 0.—In these turbulent times when many perplexing questions are being discussed which affect the country, no one can be more confident than anti-immigration bill which is now before the Congress of the United States. While there has been many suggestions offered and many substitutes submitted as a solution to the problem, yet it seems that House Bill number thirteen, known as the "Dyer Bill", comes nearer covering all the points than any other bill. At a recent hearing on Mr. Dyer's bill before the Committee on Judicial, the subject of the constitutionality of the bill was widely discussed. A point was raised during the discussion whether the bill was too broad and not specific enough to justify the who appeared before the committee, gave a deal of light on the subject, sustaining all the important points in the bill, citing numerous decisions bearing on the case by the Supreme Court. Speaking further on the subject Mr. Goff said: The Duty of Congress "I content this: If the State, in the mind of Congress, denies this right because all legislation assumes the existence of an evil to be corrected, then Congress, having legislatively determined that fact (and the courts will not consider whether Congress was or was not justified, but will assume because of Congress having passed appropriate legislation, that the States have denied the rights in question), obviously Congress possesses the authority under the fourth amendment and under the interpretation which the courts have given it to go forward and say that since the States of this country have denied to many people within their borders because they are not allowed to be selected in their presidents in their lives, and their liberty, and have also denied them the legal protection of the laws, a necessity exists that not only justified but compels adequate and appropriate legislation to the end that the people of our several states may enjoy and be secure in those rights which the organic law guarantees them. My conclusion is this: Must the Congress of this country sit suprely by when it knows that a State, either affirmatively or negatively, is denying that right? If the State omits to give or withhold protection through motives of indifference or inability, is the guaranty performed and the duty of the Federal Government discharged. In a word, is the fourteenth amendment meaningless because of State negativity? I hope not, and I think not. The Congress of the United States already is charged with the constitution by the State, with the duty of seeing that the States do not neglect this right. Then, if the Congress of the United States decides that the States have, by omission, neglect, impactly, or local prejudice, if you please, failed to insure and secure to every citizen within those States the full protection of the laws, and the right to life, liberty, and property, their does not the obligation arise to protect these rights? Is it an answer to say that the individual invasion of individual right is not the subject of the amendment— Mr. Dyer said he expected a favorable report from the committee, and thought there would be little, no opposition to the House. Copy of Anderson's bill introduced by Mr. Dyer In the House of Representatives. April 11, 1921. Mr. Deer introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and ordered to be printed. A BILL.

The first of which "Gingham Girl" promptly brought him offers from practically every publishing house in New York. He, with Tunel Layon, co-writer with Henry Creamer, of "Strutt, Miss Lizzle," the "Three Showers," show and "Ehony Night," a musical comedy, were initiated at the meeting of the Pinkard came along with the delegation and thus became the "Baby Noble." His social achievements in St. Louis exceeded even his musical accomplishments. in the next five years for the promotion of religious welfare, education and general upfit work. The great denomination should raise that amount and more. The times demand progress in religion. The pastor of Bethel is democratic and courteous. The builders and laymen, and we are sure Pittsburghers will be happy to money. Religious work in general in Pittsburgh is very progressive, and there are more than a score of substantial congregations, with many smaller missions. Pittsburgh is the home of Robert L. Vann, and it was our privilege to be his guest during the brief stay in the western metropolis of the "Keystone" state. He has a beautiful residence and an estimable wife who has made an education for ability to make hot biscuits. He can add endorsement to the excellence of them. Attorney Vann, besides being editor-in-chief of the Pittsburgh Courier, and the Competitor magazine, is assistant City Solicitor, and is now a full fledgling lawyer. He does he do it? He is fortunate in having live wire business associates. There's Ira F. Lewis, Walter S. Buchman and W. P. Bayliss, all to the force in activity. In Pittsburgh Americans, filling a most helpful role in the life of the community, and is manned by a group of progressive leaders who leave no stone unturned to serve the people. It is a fine thing to have the people read in the great metropolitan centers and understand fortune that the cause of people is being served better and better each day by progressive newspapers. Activity Everywhere. Pittsburgh is active everywhere. True, there are many out of work here, at present, but the spirit is not dismused. One of the active men of the city is Attorney W.-L. Strain, small business owner of a native of the city. Attorney Goreman, White, son of the last Negro Congressman that graced the halls of the American national lawmaking body; John A. Clark, a good friend of long standing, Executive Secretary of the Urban League, Attorney Handolph, and dentist, and a good group of active men are keeping the city to the fore in community effect. There must be something said about the daily newspapers of Pittsburgh, in no city of the country is there a first group of newspapers lighting against racial injustice, and especially lighting against the cultists in the Pittsburgh area other than the black community.

The representative leaders of Japanese life outside of official circles apparently inclined to have Japanese participation to have Japanese participation in the conference and there is no inclination among these leaders to minimize the importance of Japan's attacks to the Washington deliberations. There are indications that the international discussion by the Japanese on the vital aspect of the problems will provide unanimity of a position on the matter.

August 10—There will be no war started at the annual meeting of the Negro Business League. What looked to be threatening clouds of discord and strife have melted and the skies are serene and clear. The league is not the target for the fear that either Dr. Emmett J. Scott, or Dr. Moton were at logger heads about the affairs of the League. Both these estimable men have openly defiled every rumor which has sought to blake them to situations of official disagreement regarding the conduct of the official matters of the League. Dr. Scott writes: "I am not acquainted with the irresponsible skulking sniper who comes to the front about this time each year with anonymous letters (or articles) which he sometimes dates from 1894, at which he sometimes dates from Philadelphia, sometimes from other places, but all designed, not to uphold the league but to tear it down. By asserting motives, "suspictions, frictions, "tensions, etc., he evidently thus hopes to divide the officers and members of the organization of queues and clans. He may succeed. Necessity is but as for myself. I stand wholly upon my record for and in behalf of the League which I have now so loyalty served for 21 years. I have as Secretary sought as loyalty as I knew how to promote the best interests of the League, and to keep it in active movements. In 1949, at St. Louis, I posed a program which was unanimously endorsed by the Convention. "I shall be at Atlanta, to view the 'fireworks' threatened by the amounsons writer. I shall be looking every man and woman at the Convention in the face. My back in fear and trembling will be turned to no man, and we all can admire the threatened fireworks they are found to be designed to reduce radioactivity, for cost confi- sification and solidarity, for ever during this troubles period is ever a race needed to stand together and work together it is ours." De Motton has been quick to deny that he is in any way connected with a statement to be allowed to say about our program.

August 10— American intervention in Haiti and Santo Domingo was described last Wednesday as the "blackest chapter in American History in the Carri- beans" by Oswald G. Villard of New York, urging a special scientific in- vestigation. He spoke for the Union Par- tique of Haiti, the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Color- ism, and the Haiti and Santo Domingo depopulation Society, and charged there was no trouble in Haiti until we went there. Immediate American withdrawal would be a disaster, Mr. Villard told the committee, but military occupation should terminate.

MEMBER MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. WILL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACT? Attorney General J. W. Barrett says he is ready to act in the Bowling Green lynching if one witness can be had. We appreciate the difficulty that one may expect in trying to get anyone to identify the person or persons who actually adjusted the rope about Roy Hammond's neck. But the duty that Mr. Barrett as Attorney General of the State, is called upon to perform in connection with the lynching of Roy Hammond does not require a witness, because Sheriff Moore readily admits that he allowed a mob to take the prisoner and lynch him, without firing a shot or inflicting a physical scratch upon one member of the mob. Now, the question is, does Mr. Barrett believe that Sheriff Moore did his duty in this case? If he believes that the sheriff did his duty, then we can understand why no proceedings were instituted against the sheriff by the Attorney General's office. But if on the other hand, Mr. Barrett does not believe, that Sheriff Moore did his duty, then the Attorney General's office should act against the sheriff of Pike County. We admit that it is quite difficult to find the members of the mobs, but Sheriff Moore can be found any day. Our contentions are that if Attorney General Barrett has the power to remove the sheriff of St. Louis County on a charge of neglect of duty in regard to prohibition enforcement, he surely has the power to remove the Sheriff of Pike County for neglect of duty in that he allowed a prisoner to be taken from him and lynched by a mob. It is the duty of the Attorney General to bring proceedings against Sheriff Moore, and let the sheriff prove to the satisfaction of the Governor, that he did his duty in protecting his prisoner, without he or his deputies firing a shot. WHERE WE ALL CAN JOIN IN. Hon. L. C. Dyer of St. Louis has worked on his anti-lynching bill which is before Congress until it is now in pretty fair shape, and it looks as though it will pass if given the proper support. This support, does not necessarily mean those members of Congress, but it also means the support coming from the people who are at home. Your Congressmen and your Senator are human and as a rule, clothed with the same human imperfections that we are. They like the approbation, "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Therefore, when they do the thing that you approve, you should write them and encourage them. You should let them know you are pleased. You should also suggest to them the things you want done. They, as a rule are always ready and willing to respond to your call. The people in this country have undergone untold suffering on account of mob violence. It is high time that the Congress of the United States should call a halt to this form of anarchy. We all can contribute our part toward bringing a change of this condition by writing a letter to the Congressman from your district and the Senator from your State and urge them to support House Bill Number 13. This bill is known as the "Dyer Bill" which has for its purposes, the making of lynching and mob violence, a Federal offense. The Colored people of America are surely interested in such a law, because we have been the principal victims of mob violence during the past thirty years. Therefore, we above all others should show our interest in the success of the bill. Inasmuch as such a law will be National in scope, it is the duty of citizens everywhere in America to join in the movement to call a halt to the barbaric practice which is undermining every principle of this government. We can all join this movement by using a few minutes time and a two-cent stamp. This is as little as can be asked. Will you do less for this great cause? NO STANDING IN COURT The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a corporation, has brought suit for libel against the Los Angeles Express Publishing Company demanding a total of $105,000. No one will believe that the Klan was libeled by the paper in question, because the Ku Klux Klan has the reputation of being guilty of most every thing in the catalogue of crime. In fact, its record will show that it is an out-law organization and as such, has no standing in court. Undoubtedly, the plaintiff in this case forget that "he who comes into court, must come with clean hands" or at least that is the presumption in law. But, the Ku Klux Klan has a bloody record. It has made itself "famous" by acts of out-lawry and murder following in its wake. One of the absurd charges in the complaint against the Express is that, until the publication of an article in that paper, the Klan had a good reputation. We hope, should the case ever go to triff we will be called as a witness for the defendant. If so, we will swear, that the Ku Klux Klan has a bad reputation. According to 16 of the latest reports from Arkansas, a threat is alleged to have been made by the Ku Klux Klan warning the daily papers of that State, to quit publishing news about the Klan on the penalty of death to the writer. We think the newspapers have been quite lenient with the Klan. Most assuredly, they have failed to tell all the dirty deeds that have come to their attention. If the Klan has a good reputation, why want the newspapers to suppress it? THE RISE OF JAPAN AS A WORLD POWER Only a few years ago, Japan was looked upon with disdain and the Japanese referred to as "a yellow monkey." The white men received one of his first and bitterest rebuffs at the hands of this wonderful nation. Since then, Japan has forged ahead, and today she is in the race for world dominion, with bright prospects of winning the first place. The World War sounded the death knell to European dominion. It is very doubtful if Germany can ever recover her commercial supremacy. France is likely to suffer for years to come for want of money and man power. England has her hands full, to stay the onward march of democracy among her subject races. The financial center of the world has passed from the old world to the new already. The contest for world supremacy is narrowed down to just two rivals—the United States and Japan. Unreasonable and unwarranted race prejudice on the part of the United States gives Japan an decided advantage. Americans are not any too popular among the white races but among the Yellow, Brown and Black races of earth, they are feared and distrusted, and often hated. If Europe has had her day, Asia is just beginning to have resources of this great continent are underdeveloped. It is the homeland of the most prolific and industrious peoples on earth. Japan believes that her strong arm is able to protect the fortune and guide the destiny of this mighty continent. Her army and navy are second to none; her sea power is being developed more and more; and best of all, she is respective to the growing sentiments of democracy. She stands ready to defend the equality of races. Black races would do well to cultivate the friendship of Japan. Some of our bright and promising young men should be sent yearly to Japan to complete their education.—Ex THE MISSOURI NEGRO REPUB. LEAGUE CLUB The Missouri Negro Republican League-Club, met last-Monday, night in regular session at their Headquarters, 3434 Market street. The session was president over by President Donald J. Trump as usual brilliant and amenable style. Mr. Irving White, President of the Board of Directors reported on his conference with the Mayor. "The Mayor asked, him to report to the members that he held, the Missouri Club in the higher esteem as a highly efficient organizer in the three of his elections, and especially the last election. The Mayor also stated that he was ready to do anything in his power that would prove beneficial to the club. In reference to the ignominious reports concerning a certain letter sent by the club to the Mayor, he had his private secretary, Mr. White, stated if the letter had been removed, it was without his knowledge or consent, and that he would order a thorough investigation of the matter. He stated that he was always glad to hear from the club and would give the consideration to any recommendations from them, because he knew they had the interest to do so well pleased with Mr. White's report that gave him a rising vote of thanks for his efficiency. Dr. J. B. Wilkinson made a brilliant talk on the political issues of the day. Miss Amble L. Voorlies.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. August 10.—There is coming to the Associated Negro Press serious and solicitous inquiries from all over the United States of America. Some are pathetic, some treable and others fraught with grave wrongdoing. The senior officer of the whole spring of inquiries, we are summed up in the following chorus: "Where Do We Go From Here." Quotation from a typical letter is given. The letter quoted is from one of the most intelligent and progressive members of the Hare, a woman of high social and business standing, and one entirely independent of political preference, that active in political matters. Just what is wrong with the President? If what I read in the Colored papers is true, the party seems quite sure they will never again need our vote. But I guess they think three years is a long time and by the time election time rolls around again we have forgotten all about the Lil' white effort. Well, we will see about it. There you have it, from a northern voter, not a politician, but who probably can influence, more voters, one way and another, than some United States Senators. This is typical of the trend of thought. It shows many things. For example, it shows that the newspapers are washing the face of voters without a favor, and that the people are reading it; it shows that the old political gape of putting "sugar in the coffee" just before the election, will not have the desired effect in these wide awake times, and finally, it demonstrates that the Colored voters of the North are in no sense indifferent to the slams and fastens of party politics and policies in the South. Senators, Congressmen, Governors "Northern Senators, members of Congress and Governors in Northern states are urged to 'Beware the Ideas of March.' The elections of 1922 may prove a bitter disappointment to some. Where are the old fashioned politicians who claim that Colored people are not looking ahead? They are not stopping at 1922, many of them are now in the 1923 and 1924. The times have changed. The controversy, between 'King George of England, Lloyd George and Lord Northlife, are being reproduced in miniature, or life sized, as you like it, between President Harding, hisiliary the Committee of the Presidency, from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." Whatever may /be the attitude of President Harding, the Republican National Committee, or the group of Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard and others, it is very evident, that the sailing is not smooth. It is quite plain that friends of the Administration are afraid for us, for an able man. Look at the facts straight in the face—heaven knows it is time. One man has said: "Leaders these days cannot be dictators, they must follow the will of the masses, or lose their power." This applies to leaders of all races. "Where do we go from here?" From whence! Let us ask. What has happened of late? Is it straws that show the manner of the wind's blowing or "brick houses" to make folks take the "HINT." 1. The Repubilists met in Virginia. Hon. John T. Adams, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, was accused of misrepresenting the repubilists from uttering, except a few handpicked. There was no protest from Mr. Adams. 2. There was a meeting of "Republicans" in Georgia, at Atlanta. Republican National Secretary Clarence B. Miller was present and presided. He is reported by persons present as the chairman of the South must be controlled by whites. Colored citizens making up ninety per cent of the party organization in Georgia, were given only twenty per cent representation on committees. 3. Congressional leadership under Congressman Mondell. Republican, has favored a flagrant attack on the "uneducated citizens." On more than one occasion Congressman Mondell has bitterly fought activities led by Congressman Tinkham, to expose disfranchisement. The Anti-Lyophying bills have been sidetracked again and again. It Congressman Mondell and another group of bills are so hold in public, what do you imagine they say and do in private? 4. Senatorial leadership, under Senator Lodge, while not obstructive, has been passive. To date, there has been no outstanding senatorial action that is calculated to inspire and cheer Colored American citizens. There have been a number of bills introduced, including the establishment of Henry Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds. 5. Racial leadership is embarrassed, handicapped and discounted. The Administration and the majority of the Colored public have, on things political, accepted the leadership of Robert R. Church, Henry Lincoln, John C. Calhoun, and William W. Howard, William C. Matthew, Walter L. Cohen, and others in their group. And yet, these men have been unable to measure up to expectations, because they have not been able to get enthusiastic backing by the, Administration forces, for the things that bring confidence to the people. They are putting up a brave front, and abiding by the Constitution, heartened and disgusted, and there is a "division of the house" as whether to pity or blame them. But, "they are more to be pitted than censured." The result of this unprecedented political situation has been the capture of the most startling developments in the history of the United States. These developments will be related by the Associated Negro Press in a future article. By William Pickens The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—With reference to the reported statement of President Harding to a committee of Colored citizens, Dean William Pickens in a statement for the Associated Negro Press says: "I am not going to appoint any colored men to offer in the southern states. This thing called 'race prejudice' you cannot down by battling it and the only solution, as I see if, of colored men allied on the President to fall into the trunks behind white leadership," etc. "What question? A committee of colored men allied on the President of the United States, and one member of the committee reports that he said exactly these things, and so far no other member of the committee has denied that the President said so." "But there is one man alive who knows whether the President of the United States said these things, and that man is Warren Gammel-Hisling. He is the man we want to hear from. We will wait before we believe that words so object could fall from the lips of a man who had brains enough to become the chief executive of this great nation. $^2$ Then secretary to the President denies these were the exact words he said. $^3$ The secretary should deny for the President what the President may not deny for himself. Not to deny words so full of hopelessness and cowardice, would be almost to acknowledge them. "You cannot down 'race prejudice' by 'batting it', but perhaps you can down it by falling into the ranks." What a new gospel on earth? "It this be the cure for race prejudice, it is likewise the cure for all other sin and evil, do not fight against them 'sold to them'. The world of men have helped for untold generations against downed 'murder', but have 'they not discouraged and lessened it'. Would there not be more murder if there had been so battle against those who wanted to murder?" "Nobody with brains in his head ever claimed that there would never be another lancing if colored and white people who oppose it. fight against it. More lancing if they do not fight against it. Nobody dreams that not another Negro would be unintently disfranchised if Congress should enforce the Foul Treaty amendment, but pretty body know that there will be just fraternship there, and more if it be not enforced. Nobody even hopes that there will be no more nobody when legislation passes a bill against racism, but everybody admits that there will be loss of it. most abject advice ever given to American Negroes? If he said it, it may do one good thing; Make colored Americans more self-repellant; and less Americanized. This word, if from the President, must be placed beside that objection from Judge Tancy in the Dred Scott Decision. Associated Negro Press. RICHMOND, Va.

"Let our vote he cast always with the one sublime purpose of making all agencies, whether political, social or political, contribute their quota to the realization of our shared world which has been made better by our having lived in it." GRAND LODGE OF MASONS IN SESSION Continued From Page One Commander, read his annual message, There was much in the address to show that he is not only a worker himself, but his ability to lead others. Expressions of regrets were sent St. George W. Lewis, past right enlistee and a former officer at St. Louis, who could not attend the Grand Commandery, because of injuries he sustained filling from a horse while in a Shirine Parade at St. Louis, several weeks ago. A beautiful past grand commander's jewel was given to Jose H. Sherwool, in accepting the Jewel Sherwool-expressed hope that he would not do anything whereby his fraters would regret to see him wear the jewel. The Knights Templar, as said the Royal Arch Knight, would assist through George L. Vaughn, attorney, in the liberation of poor colorized boys, who are serving sententiary sentences at Jefferson City. All officers of the grand Commandier, except A. D. Butler, grand recorder, of St. Joseph, Mo. were reclected by the Governor for the nomination. The contest for Enforcement Recorder was then entered by Legile B. Taylor of St. Louis and L. H. Farris of Springfield, Mo. the latter being the choice. "The tellers reported the result of the trial," he said. R. E. G. Gelf. Sir William Beard. R. E. G.C. Sir James William Beard. St. Louis. V F D, G, C 'Sir Clayton E. Brassfield, Kansas City. F. G.

Grand Lodge Service The work of the Grand Lodge was quite interesting throughout the session. Many important matters claimed their attention. The annual address by Grand Master Crittened E. Clark was a masterpiece that the Lodge ordered in the institution which had put the order on a sound financial basis. On Thursday afternoon officers were elected. Up to a late hour, however, only Grand Master Crittened E. Clark had been elected. Most of the other officers are dead. Delegate Dies Suddenly. In the midst of the afternoon session, Dr. E. M.

GUORDIN OF HARVARD By William Tickner The Associated Negro Press Much has been written in the last few days by the tardy Associated Press about the great Negro athletic star of Harvard University. Some have tried to minimize his achievement, and some have tried to damn his race, while reluctantly acknowledging him, and some have tried to no longer said that no other Negro had amounted to nothing in athletics, implying that therefore it was a mere "Accident" for Johnsons case. The editor of that book, his librarian for prejudice; for all others know of Marshall, of Lewis, of Marthews, of Drew, of Bullock and even of Earl Johnson, who was running nearly from the field in the Marathon Race at Paseda while the little ellipsis penning his belflitting lines. But the truth stands out: that Guardia that Harvard has produced or any other American University, can have heard—and we have not borne of any foreign university which has produced his equiv. Tell that to the Daily News. But we are flinking: What would have happened to Gourdin and to Harvard if such American preplacie as that displayed by this editor had had its way? Gourdin never would have been board of F. If he had gone to Princeton, on to Yale he never would have heard from. They would have proven he could not out-jump the white ball by not letting him jump. That is the effective American method of proving gross inferiority by putting him down at the tail end of the list without letting him compete. Gourdin won for Harvard; the record he made is for Harvard; Harvard will get the credit for all time. Other institutions, are shutting out their chances by Keeping out. The Negro, for undoubtedly the Negro students are, in proportion to their students, by far the greater athletes. However, the schools would rather lose them will then a Negro, Harvard, hung some game, than as the ones roll back be said that A Negro Beat White Bears jumping, but that Harvard Athletes Beat All Others Jumping. The permanent gain is for Harvard.® Harryard has stuck to Guorin, and Guorin has often won for Harvard. When Southern schools objected to Guorin, Harvard has given up its place in the contest rather than to inquire or humiliate Guorin by asking him to plea Some diplomatic or modest to plea Some presidency. But now, if the editor of *Daily News* or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court had been President of Harvard when white colleges in Virginia said that they would not compete with a "bigger" the colored lad would have been dropped and left in Cambridge, "tact" would have been used, lies would have been told, and the members of the Harvard team would compete to down Virginia to compete and lose it to Harvard, that they chose will not for Guorin but for Harvard. Harvard acted, not pro-Negro but pro-Harvard. All the creolists are the credits of common morals. Do it again. PUZZLING PELLAGRA By Van Buren Tborne. M.D. In The New York Times The unusual prevalence of peligris this Summer in the States composing the Southern cotton belt, which has been brought to public attention by official reports made to Surgeon General Hugh S. Cummings of the Public Health Department by experts of his department, "creed that in a disease the origin of which has been the subject of controversy for at least two hundred years." There is a wide divergence of opinion concerning the urinals which the disease has made, or is likely to make the person between residents of the cotton belt and the Federal health authorities. Since its appearance in this country about fifteen years ago, it has afforded a fascinating study to both laboratory workers and clinicians, who have pursued their researches in centres where a large per centage of the population is afflicted with it. The probable minimum age of this season is put in the neighborhood of 300,000, but must be remembered that these figures are obtained by estimate only, for in much of the invaded territory the registration of pellagra patients is not demanded by the health authorities. Just a decade ago 100,000 cases were metially registered in Italy, with its population of 37,000,000. Italy indeed is properly be called the cradle of pellagra, and it is realized there for centuries, although it has prevailed to a limited extent in other sections of Europe, including the British Isles. It has been found in forty-four states in the Union; and just ten years ago Captain Joseph L. Siler, (new Colonel Siler) of the United States Army, one of the format investigators of the disease, told the present wriller that in his opinion there were at least 10,000 cases in the South. 'A year later Public Health Service officials put the number of victims in the South at 60,000, and Capitol officials informed me that he incurred in the United States estimate was 75,000 and in 1916 it had risen to 100,000. The mortality according to Federal experts, in about 10 percent of those who are infected. One strange feature of the resurgence of the disease, and one which tends to confirm the opinion now generally held by Public Health physicians as to its origin, is the fact that there is a very marked increase both in the area affected and the total of pelagic *vibrism* during those years in which economic conditions are most likely to be the cutoff at which they are most known in this year. It cannot be denied that in most of the hard explaining of the Public Health literature the case ty of the place is extended to out of town new visitors, both in the dining room and dormitories. Prof. I. R. E. Lee, Principal of the Kansas City High Schools, who is conducting a great drive for the Urban League, is now one of the guests. It is to be baped that New Yorkers will make this a nationally known center of cordiality and activity. New York disclosed the orchid of opportunity in Various fields, particularly of amusement and music. To Shuffle Along, now playing a comedy of Shuffle Along, now playing a way, has again opened the eyes of producers to the possibilities of Colored talent. There is no sentiment in the plans brought about by the discovery, so far as the producers are concerned, but the money. We realize that we have the chance to work out both sentiment and money, gains in that field. A So, we yinized a rehearsal, by special invitation of the new play going on Broadway soon, hacked by real capital, and under the management of Kramer and Layton, the famous song producers. The play is cognomened "Flony Knights." It promises to collapse anything that has yet been offered. And there are others in the making. Then, in the "Movie World." The Real Company, backed by Robert Levy and a group of men, who formerly were promoters of the Lafayette Players, are producing at least one picture per month, with all Colored performers. The latest picture is, "The Call of His People," which tells an interesting story. We were in the Red studios. We were also in the studios of the Mocheuxh Corporation, which are located in Lee, N. J. Oscar Mocheux began with the idea, and has developed further are racial producer. His next picture is, "Decedel," with a cache of favorites, including Evelyn Peele, Cleo Desmond, A. B. DeComtère and others. Clarence Muse is another of the well known performers who has worked out a production movie organization, with a "triple alliance." St. Mark Methodist Episcopal Church, Dr. W. H. Brooks for more than twenty-five years pastor, in another year will be in Harlem in 100. We worshiped in St. Mark the day the model was displayed. It was a pleased speech at Rush Memorial A. M. E.

That seems to show both good records and good management. Prof. Harry Lawrence Freeman, a former citizen of Cleveland, Ohio, who has written ten grand operas is now fearehasing in full- hustle to produce some time during the late fall probabilistic prologian opera *House*, his marvelous *prologian opera* *Murray*. This inauguration of New Grand Opera, by a company owned and controlled entirely by the group, promises to mark a new era in the development of racial talent and possibilities. It is worthy of unanimous endorsement from all corners. A special night luncheon" was put on by Prof. Harry Freeman and is estimable wife, Carlitga Freeman, an artistic artist, at which time we were favored with the rich treat of listening to several extracts from the *Murray*.

HISTORY OF HEBRON MISSION ARY BAPTIST CHURCH Like unto the conception of an infant, the Hebron Missionary Baptist Church was conceived or begun in the home of one of its founders who is as well an ardent and most enthusiastic follower. Founded February, 23, 1921. It came into existence through the faithful prayers, and nurturing efforts of Reverend and Mrs. Frank Berry and Mrs. Winkle Crawford. (Mother Crawford), being founded in a necked location, God through His all seeing eye, looking down from the portals of Glory, capped a portion of His vineyard growing up in weeds; the young grapes being destroyed by foxes; fruits decaying on trees; with His ear listening car caught the sounds of lambs crying. It was then, He sent out an urgent call, "Who will be a volunteer to carry out one of my vignettes—who will be cardlakers of my lambs? An unison three voices co-operated and sounded back the answer, "Lord, here are we send us." This described vineyard described of all care wan this self-same spot down in Mount St. Lucie, Florida we have a beautiful vineyard with beautiful gardens and its own charm the summer day. For the Good Shepherd of old, the pastor whose work of finding and nurturing the vineyard is the best. strayed sheep, did not commise his search to blide his eye; but scouted byways, river banks, alleys, wherever a sheep or lamb was unable to return by his aid, he carried the doctrine to them. The work of these good people since they have been conducting services here has been nothing short of success. His progress of this church since the time its doors were first opened as a mission has gone on with such uniform strides that today, she stands forth as a duly organized House of Worship—no longer Hebron Mission, but henceforth and forever will be known as "Hebron Missionary Baptist Church." Such is the history of the past and present of this House of God and let us co-operate in our prayers and labor to have her name blazoned boldly on the pages of church history in the town. Let us hope to see her tower standing up as a modern gint against the blue skies of heaven as a monument to her founders—Rev. F. P. Berry and wife. PARKS CHAPEL, A. M. E.

August 10. The North, at bottom, has little or no sympathy with the "color problem" of the South. Whatever show of interest is shown north of the Ohio River in the social situations south of that historic stream is bound up in business—business, nothing but business, business—lukewarmness of the Republican Party managers toward the colored and of the organization. It is generally connected that in the application of the philosophy of law and statutes that the South has the unquestionable edge on the North. But in the processes of business—business is the talisman of modern life—the South has an edge on the yond measure. The colored man-and-brother is in the business way of the North, therefore it becomes necessary, in the extreme, to get him out of the way. Lincoln be dangled and Sumner be soft scrambled, it's the money that dies in the topmost reaches of the mind. The South has an edge on the yond thing in the way of getting it shall be removed no matter what the sentimental cost. President Harding must of necessarily be included in this acute trend of public politeys. Business elected him. It may *true* that the undisputed resentment of the "great middle classes" toward the Wilson bumphiness may have materially added to the super-healthy majorities that were piled up in the several sections of the city, and that the electorate still remains the fact that business nominated and elected Warren Gamaliel Harding, President of these United States. And Warren Gamaliel Harding is human. This brings us to the consideration of the "chief sign" of the political times. An analysis of the votes of the House upon the Fordney Tariff law justifies the belief of political objectors that the tariff is the torque of disintegration. In fact the record shows, the processes of dissolution have already started. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson! (By REV. P. B FITZWATER. D. R. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Illiniating of the Gospel. (6, 1911, Western Newspaper Union.) PAUL IN ICONIHUS AND LYBRA: LESSON TEXT—Acts 14:1-2 GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. Matt. 4:10. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Matthew PRIMARY TOPIC-Paul's Nearby Crisis. JUNIOR (TOPIC-Paul's Nearby Escape INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Early Adventures in Asia Minor. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Examples of God's Missionary Method. 1. Paul and Bernahas Preaching at Iceland (vv. 17). As to their work in Iconium observe: 1. Their manner of preaching. This is suggested by the little word "so" in verse 1. They "so" make that a great multitude believed. They were true preachers. Only that which brings conviction of sin and induces decision for Christ can be truly said to be preaching in the biblical sense. The same is true of the Sunday school teacher. Let every Sunday school teacher at all times have as his supremum to bear the gospel of Christ so as to induce decision for Christ. 2. Their attitude toward opposition. This is suggested by the word "therefore" in verse 3. "Long time therefore they tarried." The opposition did not prevent their preaching, but instead them to continue preaching. Christian workers should learn not to give up work because of opposition. 3. The Lord accompanied their preaching with miracles (v. 3). Since the opposition was so fierce, special help of the Lord was needed. 4. The effect of their preaching (v. 4). The multitude of the city was divided. Where men faithfully preach the gospel, there will be division. 11. Attempt to Worship Paul and Barnabas as Gods (v. 8-13). 1. The occasion (vv. 8-10)—the healing of the lame man. God's gracious power exhibited in healing this lame man occasioned a new difficulty. That which ought to have been a help was turned into a hindrance. The man was a confined cripple. He had never walked. He heard Paul's preaching, which caused faith, to be born in his heart (Rom. 10:17). When Paul perceived that he trusted Christ, he called with a loud voice that all could hear for the man to stand upright. The cure was instant, for he leaped up and walked (v. 10). There was no magnetic touch, no treatment, only the command, and the naturally impossible because the possible and the real. 2. The method (vv. 11-13). They called Barnabas Jupiter and Paul Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Jupiter brought oxen and garlands ready to offer sacrifices unto them (v. 11). If they had only known, in the person of Jesus Christ God had actually appeared to men (John 1:14; Phil. 2:7, 8). 3. Their efforts frustrated (vv. 14-18). This foolish act was happily averted by the act of the apostles, as exhibited in the address of the occasion. (1) They deny that they are divine beings and declare that to worship belongs with like passion to themselves in criminal. (2) They direct them to turn away from these vain things unto the living God who made heaven and earth and has ever left witness of Himself in that He has always done good, giving rain and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with gladness. Wicked Jews from Anticho and囚窘 pursued Paul with rebellious hate to this place, where they stirred up the very people who were willing to worship them a little while ago. This shows that satanic worship can soon be turned into satanic hate. This hatred took form in stoning Paul and dragging him out of the city for dead. God raised him up, and with undoubted courage he pressed on with his duties as a missionary bearing the good tidings to the lost. Soon after this Paul turned back and revived the places where he had preached, telling them that through great tribulation they must enter into the kingdom of God. IV. The Organization of Churches in the Field (vv. 25-28). Evangelization with Paul did not mean a hasty and superficial preaching of the gospel but the establishment of a permanent work. Elders were appointed in every church. The work of the missionary is not done until there are established on the field self-governing and self-propagating churches. What Is Man?

PREJUDICE IN THE WORLD COUNCIL Now that, the intention of Japan to participate in the disarmament conference has become established, the exigency of cultivating an unbiased estimation of this nation is concentrated. In this the countries that are not entirely conversant with the true status of Japan in world affairs and those who viewpoint has been adversely influenced by misinterpretation of the situation without the cooperation of Japan there can be no agreement on a project for the elimination of militaristic competition. In spite of all efforts to minimize the importance of her position, the fact remains that the attitude of this power of the orient in regard to questions of international concern is of appreciable consequence. Considerable trepidation was grounded by the expectation that Japan would advance conditions as governing her disposition with Washington. Notwithstanding her acceptance of the invitation without the introduction of a single restriction or provision, it must be recognized that Japan's endorsement of the program will of necessity be contingent upon the degrees of justice and consideration manifested toward her by the contracting nations. Should she for any reason decline to become a party to the procedure of dbaimentment, the idea would doublem be abandoned by all concerned as a threat to the security of the countries would favor a movement to reduce their military strength while Japan adopted an opposite polity. The demands which may be anticipated as coming from Japanese delegates cannot reasonably be considered unjustifiable or impossible. Japan knows that the movement was not essentially actuated by a desire to ensure peace, but by the pressure of economic conditions, involving excessive taxation, and territorial disturbances, the neade in domestic business, suspended trade activity and the pressing need for funds to finance work of improvement and repair. She realizes that she is faced with many of these problems, and above all with the unavoidable necessity of either extending her territorial holdings or increasing her industrial proficiency. As in obstruction of her difficulties she is forced to contend with unfair competition, misrepresentation, exclusion of the majority of her difficulties she is forced to contend with unfair competition, misrepresentation, exclusion and prejudices. Her national prosperity is bound up in the eradication of these hindrances. There is no alternative. She is impatient for the acquisition of reproachable purposes by able mankind but she has interests which must be afforded protection. Her aim is to preserve her national integrity and to obtain free access to opportunity, nothing more, nothing less. Japan has long been accused of exploiting China, barring the open door and promoting a spirit of militarism among the Chinese, whereas in truth she has had no intention other than the maintenance of her freedom from the aggression of the imperialistic powers who control and exploit so large a portion of Asia. The United States has consistently taken a hand in this threat against Japan, her usurpation of Haiti, incursion into Mexico, control of the Philippines and other exploitative powers, and has not postulated notwithstanding Japan has for the past fifty years been menaced by the imperialism of these great powers and has been forced to fortify and even defend herself. Her policy toward China was dictated by expediency: The Japanese knew how dangerous it would be to their economic independence should any of these predatory powers oblain a grip on China, and while they concede that their preventive measures may have bordered on hardness, yet they do not merit condemnation any more than did England for her actions in Persia, Iraq, and Syria. The transicultural policy in her black colonies or Italy for her attempted territorial usurpation. Japan must be permitted to avail herself of the resources of China, a portion of Siberia and Ala churia, and to encourage heraldic trade relations. This is nothing more or less than an economic necessity. There is yet another phase of Japan's attitude toward China which is identical with that of America toward the Philippines. To speak generally, the overwhelming majority of the citizenry being hopelessly under the tyranny of the ruling class, a system of prognage in practice, although not as severe as that of our southern states and a government in power which is not prognage in practice or prognage problems. In view of this situation and for their own protection the Japanese have intervened and responded to the queries of England and Australia. pertaining to the open door in China, Japan ask, "Why not an open door in California and the Docu- lions?" Entering into the entire question of Japan's status and her attitude toward the question of disarmament is the problem of prejudice. While the economic aspect of consequence, yet the significance of the question of color is not to be discounted. Representing as she does the attitude of the East in the question of disarmament, the deliberations of the conference will be followed with keen interest, likewise the course pursued by the Japanese delegates. Of peculiar interest to the Negro in this acute Japanese question, developing as it does the unjust restriction placed upon the darker races by the Arian peoples. We fervently hope that there may find entrance into the atmosphere of the conference sufficient of genuine sincerity and that the Japanese would be assembled to prove themselves superior to the mere matter of color. Should this be accomplished, disarmament may become a reality, permanent peace resolve into a tingibility and the struggle of the Negro be encouraging stimulated. THE SOLID SOUTH Contributed from Page 10) On the zero vote for protective duty on blades 25 Democrats were recorded in favor of a protective truss, as follows: Awsom, La.; Benton, Te.; Deal, La.; Dupe, La.; Farvut, La.; Garner, Texas, Hayden, Ariz.; Humphrys, Miss.; Jones, Texas; Kankofb, Ga.; Laxaro, La.; Lea, Calif.; Lee, Gh.; Mansfield, Texas; Martin, La.; Moore, Va.; Pudgett, Te.; Park, Ga.; Parrish, Texas; Raker, Calif.; Sandlin, La.; Smithwick, Fla.; Wilson, La. Louisiana again came within one of enstering her solid vote for this protective schedule. Texas increased its Democratic support to six, which added to the Republican vote of Congressman Buch, Te.; Dealer, out of Chapel, 17. Georgia cost one-third of its total vote for the schedule. Mississippi. Florida. and Tennessee each contributed one, and Virginia contributed two Democratic votes. This makes a total of 22 Democrats from the "Solid South" who supported the hide schedule. Congressman Wurzbach (died) representing the San Antonio, Texas, district is convinced that the Republican Party will, in the near future, challenge Democratic control in a very large part of the South. "It may seem an exaggerated statement," says Congressman Wurzbach, "but I believe it expresses the exact truth that part of the South is likely to be protected a protective tariff. In the last few years the Southern people have become converted to the Republican tariff policy. Southern farmers, stockmen and business men who understand the tariff are today almost to a man in favor of its cardinal doctrine of Republicanism." Judge Wurzbach says the Democrats who voted against a protective tariff on cotton and bides are going to support it. They have their votes to their constituents. His calls attention to the fact that the Fordyce Tariff bill projects practically every product in the South, as for example, rice, oats, citrus fruits, cattle on hoof, and all varieties of meat products and all vegetable oils such as cotton oil, peanut oil and soybean oil. Had a few more Democrats in the House really represented the interests of the welfare of their interests the latter would have been complete by inclusion of a tariff on cotton and bides. This is a tilt that the colored Republicans will have a hard time stemming. The "breathe stroke" will not do much for him. The "crowl" may do more. In the idiomatic speech of an intelligent colored man of this burg. "We are up against it, for true." In another instance a substantial colored man opines that we must look about for new political moorings and dive impatiently into the American pool of livestock business. Naïl le. in part: "We have got to get into the swim of things. American life has undergone a radical change. We must change it. If continuing our political allegiance to the Republican Party contributes to the development of political development we must change our political skin and go headlong in for business. In the future "color" will neither hurt or help us. Common sense and a sharp eye for business will turn the trick for us. Nothing else." The South would like to get into the Republican band wagon. Remove the Negro to a secondary place in the council of that organization and the puzzle will be solved. This is the case of Mr. Harding for wigging? In its finer historical aspects it might be better for him to make history and let business, take care of itself. But business is business, and that appears to be the end of it.

The race is still a wide open affair, with all the players competing for a grand chance to cop the league bounty, provided any one of them has enough belt to wage a good light down the stretch after stock is taken over the gift they are now absorbing, and unobtrutely will be compelled to consume from now on. At this writing the Foster club is in the midst of a round of the ladder with Kansas City but a few inches below and ready to ascend should the Foster grip on first since relaption of an inch. K. C'S Winning Streak The Kay Stoss have just engineered a most successful campaign of conquest on the home lot, winning ten straights with the Chicago Giants going back in immediately thereafter, which lock the hold on first place. Or put the Kansas City crew in undisputed bids fair to a run that should grant possession. At any rate, some real hard work is in store for all, if they would retain their present status in the crop. Following the home game between the Culbans and American Giants comes a string of exhibition games between the Foster club and the strong Mid-West deluge in which the Culbans will also take a part, the same being two light encounters. Then comes the formidable St. Louis Giants to make a strong play against Kansas City hits the road, and like the Detroit Stars, may take a sudden drag. Right now, Kansas City has played 32 games on the road and 31 at home. Of the home games they have put 4-1 on the road they have been on the short end of 17.
