THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS DRUNK WITH POWER The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 16.—"Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saint, the Lord of hosts." Such might be the text of a sermon for every bishop and minister of every race, religion, or society, with no Republican party as the theme: The Republican party is intoxicated with power, and by that unusual condition, there are many surprising things happening and Colored Americans are coming in for their just or unjust—share of disappointment. There seems to be a great poverty of the human element; of the "spirit" in the things that are happening. President Harding has developed his human justice, and the things he says have a far different effect on the general public, than the things said by his predecessor, Woodrow Wilson, for the President has the true element of sincerity in his statements. "But what difference does it make, said one citizen to another, "if the President falls to back up his preachments with action"? "The Republican party has failed the Colored people," he says, "failing on the ears of hundreds of people as they walk about among their friends. What is meant by "failed us"? Simply this: There has been a wide range between the things that have happened in the last six months, and the things that Republican spellbinders told the people in the campaign that failed the Colored people spellbinders, glorifying the race, and giving the people the fact that with the success of Harding, the dawn of a new era in us." It is a matter of much chagre to the aforesaid spellbinders, and orators de luxe, that the developments have fallen far behind the beautiful word pictures. A Crisis At Hand There a crisis at hand. Colored Americans hailed between two opinions; they are "between the devil and deep blue sea." The devil being the Democrats, and the blue Sea, the Republicans. And, the Republican ship that Fred. Douglas spoke about is having trouble. One man said to the A. N. E. representative, "They are our presidents." The man who have stood sponsor for the party principles should do like Bob. Church, they should shake the dust of Washington from their feet, and go about their business. It is not generally known, but that is exactly what Church did, and when the facts come out, he will be more highly regarded as a leader, smarter in Washington. When he saw the trend of things, he had a long and serious conference with President Harding. When the President expressed his views, particularly on matters of appointments in the South, Church respectfully told the President that he could not, because his position that until he became changed his address would be Memphis Tennessee." Church went back to his business." "Henry Lincoln Johnson should tell the President that under the circumstances he does not care to be Recorder of Heads; Perry Howard should resign as Special Assistant to the Attorney General; Charles Cotrill should return to his business in Toledo, and Dr. J. B. A. Crossingham should go back to Missouri and practice medicine. He would show, the Republicans that, Colored Americans cannot in this day and time be made more playful. It would make these men, and any like them, real and not faecal leaders; if such a course is not pursued, and things continue as now going, there will be a rebellion by the people themselves, that will not be stayed, and that will surpass anything that has ever happened in the Race. Things point that way now." The St. Louis Argus Major John R. Lynch, author, former member of Congress, from Mississippi, former paymaster of the United States Army and during the Republican National Convention of 1884, temporary chair of the active interview for The Associated Negro Press declared: "The time has arrived when we must place patriotism above party. We have found a fathom upon the Republican party, because 'If was founded upon human rights, when men are ignored or degraded, as they are, we must open our eyes, find our real friends, and support them." "In 1874 U.S. Grant was elected by unprecedented sweeping victory, as was President Harding. The party failed to keep its promises to the people, and in 1876, there was a notable Republican defeat. I give it a warning, unless the Republican Party of today reasserts its on-ground justice and lives up to them, history may repeat itself in 1922." rights declared for in the Republican platform adopted in Chicago. Here is a statement from a nationally known citizen: "The New York World, an avowed Democratic newspaper, gives us a far better play of justice than the so-called Republican Party. This tribune is the last fall, the Tribune supported President Harding on the Republican ticket, all other candidates endorsed were Democrats, including the Governor and County officials, with the lone exception of Senator McKinley. We have got to show some of that same kind of independence if we get anywhere politically. That goes for Negroes everywhere in America," politically, the signs of the times paid to either the change of policy in the part of Republican, a political catastrophe unquenched in the history of the party. "We shall see what we shall see." WASHINGTON, August 21, 1863 RA. Commanding of St. Louis, he has been the most important officer of the War. Risk himself. Brave. He will have charges of the claims for the hundreds of Colored soldiers who fought in the great war. It is supposed the upfront will carry a $0000 salary. Crossland will take office Tuesday, it is expected. SEGREGATION ON BOSTON STEAMER IS KNOCKED OUT Institutions Commissioner Rules There Shall Be No All-Colored Day On The City's Excursion Steamer.

U.S. SENATE FAILS TO CONFIRM HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON Nomination Of Georgian To Be Recorder Of Deeds Is Sent Back To Committee. Johnson Silent. Rumor Of Sluh Fund Charges. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 22—The appointment of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson for Recorder, of Deeds for the District of Columbia came up Wednesday in executive session of the Senate, along with that of Frank Linneman, the Secretary of the State. S. District Attorney for Eastern section of the State, Linneman was confirmed and Johnson's appointment was returned to the Committee on District Affairs of which Senator Ball is Chairman, for investigation of charges that have been filed against him. An inquiry was made at Senator Ball's office concerning the charges, but nothing could be obtained concerning them. The prime representative visited Col. Lincoln Johnson early Thursday morning and was informed that the Colonel had nothing to say. The question is before the Senate, and I have nothing to say in the matter," said Mr. Johnson. There is much speculation in the matter. Some advance the idea that "Link rendered yeoman service in squashing the protest of the Colored people from North Carolina, against Frank A. Linneman, who is was claimed against colored people voting in the election, through Johnson's persuasion, it is argued, that the charges against Linneman were withdrawn. The rumor is that Johnson has lost his grip on the Administration and with the 'Colorado people. Not one thing can be point to (his opponents say) that he has accomplished for the race since the election last fall, but to confirm Johnson has caused much misunderstanding through political circles, because of the fact that he was supposed to have been held in high esteem by the administration. The nature of the charges filed against him are a matter of conjecture. It is believed however, in some quarters that 'The Lowden shun fund matter' is a part of them. Some pope's court jest takes Johnson's blondeness at this time, but he has not yet played his last cord. The revelations of the Senate Committee will undoubtedly be watched very closely from now on.

Aug. 16 — Properganda intended to embarrass certain members of the relief committee, who have taken an active stand against the attitude of the "City of Tulsa, and the white real estate board, in the matter of the retention of the Negroes' property/in the districts where there property has been destroyed, in being surrounded by the country. Surprise has been had by the citizens of the community and city to find that certain members of the Race are finding money available in other places than the city of Tulsa to reconstruct their homes and regenerate themselves. Quite recently a white lady rode down into Greenwood in her car and asked one of the prominent black men there who it was who was furnishing him funds with which to plumb. "There are twelve million of Negroes in the United States," anses are collecting, "and we are collecting a plea from them for goulding funds." In other words, the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to withhold financial assistance from those who desire to rebuilt on their holdings, it is said, and they are attempting to locate all apocries from which Negroes are likely to receive assistance, no everything indicates. The Negro who gave the answer above was more diplomat than truthful. He nevertheless carried this point of keeping certain interested folk in the dark. MOB BURNS THE BODY OF A DEAD MAN Masked Men Raid Morgue At Augusta, Ga., And Secure Body Of Colored Chauffeur Who Had Been Shot Down In Gun Battle. Said To Have Killed Two And Wounded Others. AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug. 17.—The horrors of mob violence reached its peak here last night when masked men forced their way into the morgue of the University Hospital and took the body of Walter Smallley, a colored chauffeur, and burned it to a crisp. The body was found this morning at a farm from the old Quarrestor master's headquarters building, at the site of old Camp Haneck. Scantlings had been pried from the building, heaped over the body, gasoline pooled on and the torch applied. Killed: In Gun Battle Smalley had been killed in a gun battle Tuesday afternoon. The last information obtainable about the trouble is that he had shot and killed a forensin in wagon works after recruiting a *baiting*. Fleeing from the scene, he is said to have fired as he ran, fighting until he was riddled with bullets. Smalley is charged with killing a policeman and wounded others before he was taken down. Identify: Doubful. Coroner R. E. Elliot, after visiting the scene of the cremation, had the body returned to the morgue. He states is doubt as to whether the body is that Smalley, pointing out that Smalley was said to be shot through the head, and that no wounds of this nature were discoverable on the charred corpse found by the road.

It is understood that the 1st has been completed and the men selected, but the names must be verified by the board before given out to the public. This will probably be done in a few days.

NEW EVIDENCE TENDS TO SHOW MAYS INNOCENT Tennessee Negro Convicted Of Murder Is Believed To Be Victim Of Crimes Committed By "Dark White Man" Special To The Argus NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is urging all possible aid in the defense of Maurice Mays, twice convicted in Tennessee of the murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsay in August. Since the arrest and conviction of Mays other white women have been attacked by a dark white man and the Knoxville Journal and Tributes of August 3, 1921, prints the following cases: "Mrs. Dan White, Hart avenue, Man entered her home in September and told her if she screamed he was killed, as he had killed Bertie Lindsay. "Mrs. Nettie Pington, Maria Street, home entered by man in autumn of 1919. He told her he would kill her as he had killed other white women if she sorgamed." The items tend to corroborate Mays's assertion that he is innocent of the murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsay, the unknown criminal said he had killed Mrs. Bertie Lindsay as is quoted, every effort should be made to have that fact established legally, for the attack of Mrs. Dan White occurred after Maurice Mays had been placed in prison charged with the murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsay. The national office feels that it is one meriting the assistance of such as can give it.

Bruce Craven when he resigned, as Grand Dragon of the Klan in that state have been turned into a charge of the burial of the failed States Department of Justice in Omaha. These copies have been filed in Chief Bryan's office. "I am making no investigation into the Ku Klux Klan in Nebraska," said he out. "I am filling money for information of the organization which comes to my attention." Shown to Kinsler Copies of the Craven expose also were shown United States District Attorney, J. C. Kinstler. MaJ. Bruce Craven is a lawyer, financier and writer of Trinity, N. C. and is a son of the founder of Trinity College. "The new organization of the Ku Klux Klan, as at present conducted in North Carolina, is an organization engaged exclusively in collecting initiation fees under false pretenses, without any legal standing in the state, and is in oplonia a failure and a fraud." was the bombshell which struck North Carolina August 5 when MaJ. Craven unnounced, with his resignation effective at noon, as Grand Dragon of the Klan there. Excerpts From Expose Exemption from a copy of his expose from the court for (or) Omana paint, Netkappi, following forwarded to 'chief Byrn for (mama) and Nebraska, follows:' "It is foolish for me any longer to keep up the bluff of secrecy. I have never been more than the fitful head in the state; and while the whole thing is a sore subject to me and will remain a painful memory, I have no apology to make except this open statement. My name has been used to collect money under false preferences. I myself have made promises that cannot be fulfilled. They were based on my faith in the high officials. That faith has been broken and I have no way of *making amends but this.* Notified Wizard I notified the Imperial Wizard, Col. Simmons, in Atlanta, exactly what I was going to do and asked if there was anything to show my ideas erroneous: He made no attempt to answer. "Every person before admission is given the right to sever the connection at any time. Accordingly I have made my resignation direct to the imperial both as Grand Dragon and as Klanman. "The secrecy is nothing at all because there isn't any. The only secrets of consequence known to me concern a multitude of lawless acts which I was unable to prevent or suppress, but the full particulars of which I know, but which I am not likely to tell since I was sworn to fraternal duty in the title of the lord and an therefore morally important, not technically legally, a participle criminal. "Can't Prevent Outrages "There is no possibility of keeping the organization from unlawful outrages, nor out of politics. I was in the presence of the imperial wizard when another high official made the statement that he wanted everything urged toward the consumption of a national president, the council, to select a president of its own own family, was general agreement with the sentiment expressed. "There are at the present time, perhaps 5,000 in the state who have paid their initiation fees, many of whom when they got to and saw who was there kissed their money good-bye and quit. Some of the best citizens have joined and finding there was no response from the members except the moderator, whom they left never to return and were labeled traitor to the sacred cause. "One of them, a prominent business man, protested against the wholesale admission of thieves and bootleggers, and he was summarily banished, without a trial, and supposedly in disgrace, by the organisation and without consulting me. In another town, the most notorious criminal in the county got in by paying for it, and when the deceit element protested I ordered that if the man did not deny the facts his money would be refunded and he be jailed. The organization opposed golds. This the organization refused to do and kept him in because he was bringing in offers of the same kind at so much weed. Frozen to Lose "Personally I prefer to love with off protest what I have put into it Why did I fall for it? Well, I am a crevacious enthusiastic sort of a person with a lot of prejudice and so forth, and I think the profession of this thing met with all the requirements of all the foolish lines I measured. From there I held back a long and severe retreat until I knew which shouted most well with sound. They did not my heart, but they did not my brain.

The St. Kate Angus Funeral Home AT THE ABBEY PUR OLD ST. KATE ANGUS THE ABBEY PUR OLD ST. KATE ANGUS One of those delightful little musical comedies that detours from the much beaten path of vulgarity and suggestiveness, and glides over the road of simple fun, inoffensive actions and pleasing melodies, is being presented at The Booker Washington Theatre this week. The offering is Slim Henderson's Cruise Jazz Company in "Oyland." The pretty girls and beautiful costumes harmonize well with the catchy music, spicy dancing and continuous fun to provide an exhilarating amusement. Thearon heads the company, with comedy sayings and doings that keep the patrons laughing. His song, "I'm Going To Save Me Some Coupons" put over with ludicrous antics, is a scream. A neat little story runs throughout the production. Bill Jones wins the heart of Angemide, the queen of Joyland, but is opposed by her parents and a doctor friend, who wants her to marry someone of royal title. Jones turns the trick by impersonating a Baron, not only wins the girl but gets a dowery of $15,000 with her hand before he reveals his iden- tity. His scheme is, however, always on the brink of failure because of a debt of 10 cents with 5 cents interest due his old friend "Archbunkus" (Slim Henderson) and for which he is constantly pursued. There are several foll chorus numbers put over neat and nimble dancing as well as good singing. Mr. Wiltshire as "Bill Jones" scores nicely in his songs. "When It Comes To Loving the Girls" and "Angenieuse. Me He Faster takes the house by storm singing and dancing with Wiltshire onington Square and Wiltshire is a graceful and talented actress. She also has an excellent voice and reaches the operatic level in singing "I Hear You Calling Me." John Bridly, the Human Mocking Bird songs "Come Back To Me Mandy," with a sweet, tenor voice, and executes the refrain by whistling. He makes a tremendous hit and responds with "Sweet Thing" another winner. Bridly as the father. Mrs Rosa Henderson as the mother of Afgeunea, and Willie Eldridge as their doctor friend. Are finished in their acting. Mrs Wiltshire pakes a pretty, stately, beautifully gowned matron. The engagement, which closes Sunday night, is well worth seeing. EXTRADIARINARY VAUDEVILLE ATTRACTIONS NEXT WEEK "A Vaudeville program of four feature acts has been booked for next week at The Booker Washington-Jon Theatre. It is doubtful if so many headliners have ever been assembled on one bill at this house. The lineup includes "Butter Reens" Edwards and his lady fair. This act is the biggest comedy attraction since the days of the late "Strumbans." Princess Solanki, with buster Boa-oussie and grandmother Linda, including the "Troupe of Death" is another topliner.

The contest is an elimination affair and is to be conducted as follows. Each night all the contestants assemble on the stage. Just after the end of the first show (8.1 p.m.) the name of each contestant is written on a separate sheet placed in and all the names placed in and all the disinterested persons are then requested to draw 3 manes from the bat. The 3 drawn are the contestants for that particular night and the one winning is placed on what is called a reserve list. The same procedure is gone through with each Thursday night, until the entire 30 contestants have been gone through with. After the 30 have been through the elimination winners are put through the same "course of spreads" until it gets down to the last Three then the biggest doings comes off. The Medal is, a massive affair, about 5 inches long and 3 inches wide, is gold solid and a special design, with a piano and piano player, in strong relief, on the face of same and suitably engraved in space for winner's engraved. It will be on exhibition at various places around town from time to time. Among them Street Bros.

Dr. Bell, the popular Dentist, of Sarah and Finney, and Mr. Penn, the Standard; Life-man were selected as time keepers for Thursday night, August 15th. Many of the contestants remained in the audience on the first night's contest, and were the recipients of much good-natured chaffing. from the other contestants; being accused of having "stage fright" or afraid of having a chance of being the first drawn to "show their wares." There is been rivalry among the amateur good piano players around the Louis for the honor of wearing their signature dress.

Poverty and illness — for her sister and herself — and the other, which led to comfort, and ease, outdoor life for Beatrice, with laughter and sun and joyousness. Natalie chose the latter road. "Sorap Ires" and "Reputation" At The rite theatre Charles Ray will be seen in "Scrap Itself: The Criticism Theatre in Rainbow." A fight scene in which the hero offers himself as the sacrifice of a local champion families the big thrill of the production and it is a fight that will stir the blood of anyone seing it. He must last three rounds or the money needed to keep his mother provided with the necessities of life will not be his, and for three rounds he stalls and blocks and takes a terrific heating. He might in another story, be writing a story and could wish to see. He the Universal-Jewel production, "Reputation" will be presented at the Criterion on Sunday, instead of Saturday, as first announced. Here is a different story — new in treatment and twists — How Laura Figian, a wonderful actress of international fame forgains and neglects her child and revels in the adoration of the public. Is portrayed with a masterly delicacy that strikes vibrating chords of human interest. Sympathy for the forgotten and then a subtle change in place — the daughter of the great laura Figian counts of obscurity and overnight, she her mother's name and fame — Laura Figian, the idol of two continents, flubs herself an outcast, barred from the theatre; her wonderful reputation and identity stolen by her own child. It is a wonderful drama of woman against woman with every embellishment in the matter of sets, lighting effect and the subtle dressing, apposits, littles and mechanical construction that the motion picture art has so far developed. Pauline Frederick in "Salvage" Heads Just a more Features Pauline Frederick in *Salvage*, the latest Robertson-Cole Super-spectral will be featured at The Jest-a-mere Theatre this Sunday and Monday. It is a drama that is alive and throbbing in its humanness, these characters, each one thrown together of a distinct type, throne together thick snatches the dual role of the two women, with a play of chasing feeling that lends resilium to every mood she portrays. The screen has never seen acting of a more compelling or sincerne nature than Miss Frederick invests in her broad powerful interpretation of the woman who is deprived, of her green skin. This picture the rare merit of a spectacular nature, but there is in the unfolding of this drama, a heart appeal, a simplicity, a realism, that will hold any audience. On Wednesday, "Buckling The Tiger" will be shown. While it sounds like a man's picture, there is enough love intreed to hold the females spellbound. "A Divorce of Convenience," on Thursday, has a plot based upon the comical situation of a young man being confronted by the constraints to save his capacity of a op-responsibility of convienience in a division of convenience. There are unanticipated difficulties connected with just such a job, especially when one has his own girl before whom he wishes to preserve all his dignity. On Friday, Edmund Greese, will be seen in "His Temporary Wife." "Outside The Law" and "Penny O Top Hill Trail" At Olympia Principale Dean in "Outside The Law" will be the feature of The Olympia Theatre this Saturday. It is the story of the daughter of a retreated priest when her father is "trained" by a former hepman and sent to prison. How she matches her wits against the minions of the law and the underworld "how the maternal instinct softens her soul" is plished by the Connician philosophy of a Chichester sage. On Sunday The Olympia will present Bessie Love in "Penny of Top Hill Trail." It is a mystery drama surrounding the theft of a diamond ring. Penny is accused. The charm of the thief is the same as his heart, against the supposed criminal. But the secret surrounding her past is finally revealed in a confession which brings to an unconventional but happy ending a stirring, tantalizing story with a surprise at every turn. A feature difficult to match is to be given at the Casino Theatre this Saturday when William Faram in his Fox photoplay, "The Rainbow Trail" will appear. The story centers about the wilderness of Arizona and dates back to the period when the eastern way to nestle arguments was with a magnificent ll. It is a magnificently powerful Western tale, packed with love and heart interest, and affords an unusual number of real thrills. Dorothy Baltimore in "The Idol of The North," will be the Sunday special at The Casino. There are many births in the play. Much of the action of the story takes place in the hall of "Tedgem City," which is included after Bamsein City faded in the days of the gold rush. It is in the Arrocs Barmain that the "lost girl"—lost to this generation—of snobbing and drinking, form the picturesque background for the work. The story represents Bamsein City, which contributed by how hard a sinless sister—that of a damsel ball girl in the frontier of civilization. Her romantic love affair with the Mormon woman will be the focus of the story. Love Does Everything.

Aug. 17—Bad luck, "lid just be that," when George Fisher, Colored, attempted to hop off from the fall grasses here recently in his home-made airplane. How come? The left hind foot of a rabbit said to have been killed in a country grave, by a cross-eyed Colored man, in the light of the moon, a stick dime, and a padded hind will protect him. Young attentions to hop off during coming in the grasses will close the problem, but a hive in a house and hindered by a fence will open.

August 17- The Georgia house of Representatives recently passed an amendment, to the tax rate, to allow blacks to pay 20% on every white涨银 over 20% on unwed. The measure will have to pass the Senate. Statisticians said that there are 784,000 bachelors over 30 in the state, which would yield $3,920,000 a year. But the state measure is not compared to the one proposed by Representative Lank- ward, who voted down. But he he asked: Tax all unmarried white women and bachelors over 30 $100 per year; grass widows and widowers, $200, and all couples married three years and childless, the sum of $500,000. ...WANT ADS...

We sa- rise that we might have to call up before, calling upon you, Mr. Mayor When we hear of a man or set of men being power mad, we cannot but think of the Kaiser of yesterday, or the kings and lords of olden times. Time tells a wonderful story. The victory of the Republican party last November, has meant little or nothing to the Colored people of the nation. In fact, it has not served to build and re-establish the principles of the party of Lincoln, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt. But on the other hand, the present leaders of the Republican party have deserted those principles and have fallen down at the feet of what is known as the Lily Writemia of the South. The statement attributed to President Harding as saying that his mind was fully made up as to the policy he intended to pursue with reference to the Colored people of the South, looks to us like telling the Colored man to "get out" or if he does stay, the road will be "rocky." The President has told the Negroes if they rise, they must rise behind the rebels of the South. Or in other words, President Harding's attitude towards the Negroes as expressed in his statement to representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. is like patting a millstone about one's neck and commanding him to swim. The Washington correspondent of the Associated Negro Press calls upon the Negro leadership to protest action of the party leaders toward the Race, and suggest that this protest be in the form of accounting the "get out" insult offered by President Harding, and return to their homes as Bob Church of Memphis, Tenn. has done. We heartily agree with the correspondent. It is time for action on the part of our leaders. They cannot but see the reward that has come to us for our loyalty. They see the drift of the times. Then why not be men? If the leaders of the Republican party are riding on their "high horse" and have so soon forgotten the principles and the platform, upon which they were ushered into power, and have so soon become power-mad, then they have assumed a dangerous position. We can only advise, let them ride. Let them "on with the dance." There is a pleasure sometimes in standing on the corners and seeing the grand promenade pass. YOU HAVE TO HURRY, MAYOR KIEL We are thinking of a speech made by Mayor Kiel, Feb. 22 at Poro Auditorium, during which he said, if he was elected mayor he would see to it that the Tandy Park would be finished ere the frost fell. Passing that corner a few days ago, and seeing the mayor's promise concerning he park was yet unfilled, we would suggest that you will have to hurry Mr. Mayor if you intend carrying out your promise. It will be remembered, that Tandy Park is located at Pendleton, Goode, Cottage and Kennerly. It is a Negro neighborhood and the presumption is, that the Negroes would be the principal beneficiaries of the park. During his speech, the mayor deplored the fact, that the war had stopped the work on the park, and expressed his regrets that the children had to play in the mud, while children of other communities had beautiful playgrounds, and he said, "I assure you that if I am elected mayor, it will be my purpose to beautify Tandy Park with grass and shrubbery before the frost falls." We supported the mayor on his promise. We said at the time, we wanted a promise that we might have to call upon him to fulfill. We are therefore, calling upon you, Mr. Mayor to make good your promise. A COMMAND We command all men and women true, loyal, liberty-loving Americans to urge the passage of the Dyer's Anti-Lynchming bill which is now before the Congress of the United States. If you think it is a proper bill, then do something to help put it over. al! men and women true, loyal, give the passage of the Dyer's Anti- certain the Congress of the United S- er bill, then do something to help.

By Geo. W. Buckner 10,000 Negroes in Tulsa face the approaching winter with its snow and ice sheltered only by tees with dirt floors.

Shall brothers let these innocent visitors suffer the pangs of the winter when a "heart and a tolar" will mean so much to them? The women and children, must be housed and it must be done quickly.

I cannot supply language sufficiently strong enough to portray the horrible picture of conditions in Tulsa at this time, quot. it is our bounded heart to have a portion of our carriages with those people.

Those who wish to contribute should have no feeling that their funds will be used to advise that the Urban Leslie has been in direct communication with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the latter is working in close cooperation with the Tuba Relief Committee under the chairman of S.

Some of these have been contributed to, and others are organized, but nothing has been done in a systematic and organized way here under the direction of a committee representing Louis to share in providing relief for the Tuba vietnamese.

NEW YORK ATTORNEY SCORES GARVEY PLAN The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 16—Marcus Garvey is poring the wrong track in appealing to race prejudice and in advocating physical force in his efforts to secure justice to the Negro, "declares J. Frank Wheaton when asked to comment upon the aims of the Second International Convention of Negroes, now in session in New York City. Mr. Wheaton, who must call J. Garvey, cannot stand still." of New York County, was the only Colored man to sit in the Minnesota legislature. He was elected in a senatorial district in which there were not more than fifteen colored voters. He was also the plaintiff, plott, radicalism," said Mr. Wheaton. "I have always advocated the old adage, 'vinegar never catches files,' and any effort toward reconciling, the two faces should be made through bringing the two parties to a frequent and by cultivating friendship and understanding. "We need educational propaganda to do this. Such books as Herbert J. Soligans' The Negro Faces America" are splendid educators and what we need more literature of that type. The problem must be that race problems if serious conflict is to be avoided. "There are thousands, of white citizens who have not the slightest suspicion of the conditions that obtain in certain sections of our country, and it requires such propaganda as repre- sentation of the conditions that arose them to a spirited opposition to these un-American conditions. "Mr. Selligman states that the Negro is still a slave. He is right, for as a race, the Negro is not free. Witness the recent exposures of peonage which is another name for human slavery, the same as the slave freedom is not through violence which just aggrigate conditions. The colored man should avoid himself of the contenta of Mr. Selligman's book, in order to appreciate the opportunities therein portrayed for giving him a better understanding of his duty in the solution of this problem. It will be by mutual discussion of the rights as well as the rights he hoped upon one grow by the other, that conflict will be avoided." Questioned as to his attitude toward Mr. Garvey's policy of Negro domination in Africa, Mr. Wheaton replied "Africa no has charners for the American Negro. Liberia has just celebrated her seventy-fifth anniversary will last time, she has not known more than 20,000 former American citizens. "America is our home, the only one we know, and the history of our loyalty to the flag, and of our willingly given life, is written in deep crimson. And our home is high for the ultimate success of the spirit of liberty." COL. ROSCOE SIMMONS SPEAKS AT MARION, O. Special to the Argas. MARION 21.

Dinkins was taken from the hotel which is on the Arkansas side of the city, transported thru the main portion of the Texas side of the city, across the Texas vintag, there south to the State line road and back into Arkansas where he was stumped and severely whipped. He was warred to leave town and never return and left alone in the woods. Dinkins returned to the hotel at 11 o'clock, muffling much pain from the great wreath that cover most of his body.

Aug. 17— Legislation designed to confer on the women citizens of Louisiana equal and rights to the men in the exercise of their freedoms in entering into contracts will be pushed at the September Legislature by the New Orleans Federation China. "It is believed the Negro question will pre- vent favorable action by the Legisla- KU XLUX EXPOSED Continued From Page One Governor Morghen after his outbreak against it was seen and promised good behavior and later applied for admission and was held on probation; that Joseph Daniel was refused because he was too friendly with the negroes after living in Washington eight years; that Senator Overman was twice refused admission; that General Perslugt; Attorney General Daugherty, Gen. Julius S. Carr and many others were original and earnest members. Easy to Believe 'Why I believed any of these things is another thing entirely, and I can't miser it, except that it is easy to believe what one wants to believe. "I was euregalis and was caught. They then picked me to head the permanent organization in the state. I thought this was due to my acquaintance with the right kind of men in every city. "In fact I know now it was because they figured it was the best asset they could pick, in order to use it to bring in the coin. Colonel Simmons promised me everything and I gave his personal word to me that no nation ever could build a fortress without a fortress, that I was the supreme hero, the state as he was to the nation and answerable only to him and that I could build my own organization with men of genuine ability and character. "All empty Promise. 'All this was empty promise, and the organizers, professional money- getters, under the state who knew nothing and never thought about getting the right kind of money needed to use my name secretly and openly as answers to the charges of fake and fraud. At one meeting, while still in the faith, I pledged the state organization for law and order, and 141 men came forward, took the cash and paid the cash. "They caught me and used me and probably laughed at it, but they made the mistake of thinking I would quietly lie down and take it." After the higher-ups saw this disruption, was imminent, they offered me everything possible in a commercial sense. I was all ready to offer me of my own pocket, and I am now that this is so. I only wish I had lost 10 times as much and nothing else but the money. I deserved to lose it and I repeat my only regret is that it all lost in it might have been money. **Wizard Incompetent** "The Imperial Wizard is a big-headed, red-headed, genial Irishman, and in my opinion, personally sincere. He pretended to hear the organization. If I were to have only moderate ability and no forevent all, "He has mixed up with fraternal orders and dreamed this thing, and some strong-minded men without sin and laugh at the sort of foolishness for it. They gave me my chance to close my eyes and reef for a year in the easy money, but eyes if I were blind, I could not forget that there are other years. "This thing could succeed only by making national and state governments their vassals, and that it isn't possible, and if it were, would be wrong. Our governments are not what they should be, but they will not be cleaned by work in the dark. "The sacred splendite fluidub has disgusted me from the start, and yet I have done so because I have joined old so because of this stuff and of the applause to passion and to ignorance. I have never really taken the thing seriously but simply have hoped in spite of the facts facing me that it might be made so. "There is nothing serious about if-accept the protection it affords, bad men, and the money it takes out of the state. To accomplish these things the professions of Americanism and law and order, common to all fraternales, are ring in for all they are worth. "The ritual of the order is the judgment of the church and meddle, that I have ever met. It reads like a compilation by a school boy's blood and thunder society. The whole thing uses whatever is necessary for commercial purposes. Joke in Georgia "In Georgia, where it is a joke, it stands for peonage and other outrages against the Negro. In one place it bases its appeal on opposition to the Catholic Church and particularly the Knights of Columbus, but my leaving my position puts the North Carolina organization, if any should be left, in the hands of the Catholic Church influence. Except for myself, there has not been one native North Carolina active in the work in the state. The situation is in the hands of the carpet-slaggers, which the original Ku Klux opposed. "One of the most obnoxious features to me is, the claim that this commercial thing is a memorial to the original Ku Klux, and their use of, that idea is to get more money. Another of its claims is that it is working hand in hand with the American Legion and the Masonic fraternity. Already Threatened "I have already been threatened by the organization if I interfere with their graft, and am ready for them." "Henceforth I shall ask to old landmarks and fight shy of strange gods. If we any time of energy or power to do so, my graft shall endeavor to find an avenue for is though the usual channels of citizenship and the church and the Masonic lodge. I am satisfied they will afford ample outlet for my surplus religion and patriotism." The Ku Klux Klan claims to have a large organization in St. Louis. Places of meetings apparently intended to be kept in secret. The following copy of a cord sent out in July shows that the Planters' Hotel has been the place of one or more of these gatherings.

It is astonishing to get how science, religion and government will bow to a popular prejudice. Great popular prejudice is the rock on which the greatest characters and apparently the most uncompromisingly logical minds "go to pieces." Thus we find that in order of the great color question in the States all laws fall—the laws of Nature, of Man and of God—the laws of science, of heedfulness and of logic—and even the common sense. An American will say, "I am smart and such a truth is universal among men," and then he will think of American Colored folk and say: "Except" "All men are born free and equal but" "... It is better that ten guilty men should escape rather than that one innocent man should suffer, except" "... The most recent and the most outrageous example of this injustice, whose mind, we had thought, has follow logic and reason to the necessary" "even if they lead" "out of the window." But look a here! In an editorial of the Heur press, Mr. Brishane spoke of the fact that some American Soldiers have brought Germany or "enemy wives home, and that some 100-per-centiles are criticizing those soldiers. And then Mr. Brishane gets logical and historical, offering reasons and facts: Don't criticize, rather praise. Intermarriage between races based on war and conquest have given us the mixed breeds that are the good progressive breeds among human beings. "Three thousand years ago the most inkel of all races was the Greek race. From Asia, the Balkans, from all directions came the people that made Greece the greatest nation." He then goes on and cites Italy, France England and Japan as great results of the mongrelization of man, stating that the United States of America has finally "loomed up as the grand international mixture." But as Brisbane's logic strut home base, he remembered something: his logic hit a rock and fizzled and went down like a ship when it hits an implacable iceberg. After running the whole gamut of inter-racial histories, and proving his case by citation of facts he suddenly winds up (in Mississippi as it were) without history without facts, he realized and unsupported EXCEPTION: "A thoroughbred horse and a mongrel (mixes) man - make the best horse and the best man. But with the humane animal while you may mix the breed you must not mix the color - that doesn't work." What a fall was there! His logic sounded to the sky and then fell back, like a faulty rocket, into the earthy cotton patches of Georgia. Notice that he weakly says "you must not mix the color," he does not say you cannot or that it has not been done ever since the beginnings of history. He offers neither reason nor history for his exeption, but winds up his career by weakly and pitifully becoming an American White Man. BIRDS AND HUMAN BEINGS By Mrs. Ira Stuart "Not long ago we read in the newspapers of a recent Court sending a man to a Federal Prison for killing a migratory bird. Not many days before this happened a mob in Tulsa, Okla., killed more than a hundred human beings. This has happened in many cases in the past that mobs have killed human beings by the hundreds and the killing of one person by a mob is quite common. And yet the members of the Congress of the United States are spending much of the time for which they are being paid by all the people in future technology debates as to whether it will be wise to expedient for them to kill migratory birds, or stable for Federal Courts to have as much jurisdiction in the cases, where human beings are killed in the cases where migratory birds are killed. When they passed the law protecting the birds they may have worked up to a common sentimental and religious-pitch to which the American people are subject by having read to them that passage of scripture in which Jesus is trying to explain the extent of God's love for all His creatures by showing that He is concerned even over the death of a sparrow. We hope therefore that some one will read to Congreve the next verse, which says that the very hairs of our heads are numbered, and adds we are to more value than many marrows; and that we are to another religious spirit that might induce them to protect human beings also. FACTS, FIGURES AND FUN The Pageton of Progress, the great summer show achievement, has closed in Chicago, with an attendance of more than five million in two weeks. The finest choral slinging of the entire Pageton was recordered by choruses of more than 1,000 Colored singers under the direction of P. Jones and Iroot Mundy. The second Sunday was an evening of elaborate Rohde's choirs and the Polish and address of Bishop J. C. Carr. The event will be animal and plant year. The Rose will be extensively represented in the exhibition. Major Thames bands the movement. Chicago, manufacturers of Nile Queen preparations, incorporated for $200,000 has practically completed its new building, 4242 Indiana avenue, which forms an important link in the new chain of business structures owned by Negro capital on that great thoroface. The Kapturmir company is demonstrating its faith in the business possibilities of the future end of the Hace. The men who back it are alive to every need and interest in the arts live wipers programs. You ought like New York; the American Wood-Ormand A. Forte, Editor of the Cleveland Advocate, member of A. N. P., has become trustee of the Normal and Industrial department of Wilberforce University, and secretary of the Board. Newspaper men are coming into their own at all stages of the game. "The National Negro Business League Atlanta; the Elks, Boston; the Garveyes Newark; the American Woodmen, Denver, the Knights of Pythias, Topknot; the doctors in Louisville and the overflow business at the various sorts, including the drive-in account of Progress; the have furnished money to the railroads, hotels, taxicabs and clothing specialists, to build a sky轿船 owned entirely by Negroes that would be as big as the Woolworth Building in New York, or the Wringley Building in Chicago. O Boy, we are some wonderful folks! The Foreign Born Worker From the Enakopramost (Jugoslav) of Cyrgialand. A. N. P. REPRESENTATIVE VISITS CLEVELAND, OHIO Editorial Correspondence The Associated Negro Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 18.—You are right, the same dirty, dingy, repulsive old Union Station, and they are still fighting over whether to up a new pau. Of that there is one answer. In no other of the "ten largest cities of America"—Cleveland being the "fifth city," is there such an approach as in Cleveland. The people who get their impression of Cleveland from the Union station, and pass on, are keenly disappointed; those who tarry and "go up town," receive an agreeable thrill of surprise. It is more construction going on in the business district of Cleveland than in any other city visited. New York not accepted. That is a the indication of the spirit of progress of the community. The spirit of progress in Cleveland—the Union station excepted—is second only to the spirit of goodwill among the cities of Cleveland and races. Cleveland shines in its spirit of cooperation and human justice. Forty thousand colored Americans live here. When you stop to think, that, in 1900 there were only about 10,000, and realize that with the big influx there has been combined, more than it most other American cities, that fine spirit of human justice, you can understand better what "manner of place" Cleveland, Ohio happens to be. What Has Spirit Accomplished This spirit has accomplished these things in Cleveland: There are more Colored Americans employed in the City and County government than, in any other city in the United States with the exception of Chicago. There are nearly all Colored Americans in the mixed public schools; there is an "open den menu" in the theaters, restaurants and hotels; there is fellowship in civic and political progress, and there is a, "better understanding." This latter is the secret of all. Cleveland has a number of colored men who are members of the famous City club: it has the Cleveland Association of Colored men, the Negro Welfare Association, the Calverley Club, the Phyllis Waffler Association; and various departments of the Chamber of Commerce, the National Association, and religious, in spite representatives of the Brower center on matters affecting the people. There is, as was said, a "better understanding," because the people always meet and discuss all problems affecting the welfare and progress of the community. This policy should be faithfully followed in every community North and South, and would be in "problem" and more programs. Cleveland achievements give the eternal lie to the theory of human importance! Things Going On There are things going on within the groups in Cleveland. Programs of the Brower are making itself more a beneficial force in lieu of numerous other efforts. THE TURBINE vancement in the lines where the people buy. Cleveland is fostering a bank or two, that's good; there are the Realty Housing and Investment Company, the Starlight Realty Company, and a number of individuals in the realty business, splendid. Hills and Company have an outstanding business, probably excelled by none, and equaled by few in America. There are three newspapers, the Gazette, Harry C. Smith, editor; the oldest; followed by The "Advocate, Ormand A. Forte, editor; and The Call, Garrett A. Morgan president and Routt Deans, editor. Cocholmhann Thomas W. Fleming has accomplished much for his people his work. He is a candidate himself in the election this year, and has the organization backing. Mrs. Fleming is active in national as well as local politics. Ocleard has an active religious life, which finds expression in many deeds of mercy and helpfulness. There are many fine church structures and the "Sunday School Spirit" is second to no more than ten. The largest of them is J. M. E. t. W. Lemon, superintendent, has an enrollment of more than 1,290, this is followed by Cory Methodist Episcopal Sunday School. George A. Meyers, famous proprietor of the "Hollenden Barber Shop" of which Elbert Hubbard wrote: "The church made his impression in the life of the community as few men are permitted in their day and time. leveraging early history. Cleveland is interesting early history, so far as our group is concerned. There have never been separate schools here, and one of the early teachers was the wife of the late Senator B. K. Bruce, who now resides in Washington. Cleveland has sent many men to the legislature; Jere A. Brown, William H. Clifford, Harry C. Smith, Henry T. Johns, John B. Prenz, to both legislature and Senate, and the present incumbent, Harry E. Hicks, is the home of Charles Waddell Chestnut, the well-known author, whose books of fiction should be on the bookshelves of every citizen. It is a pity that authorship didn't furnish a sufficient remunerative field for Mr. Chestnut to devote his entire time to writing. His books are high standards of literary excellence, unequalled by any other author writing on similar topics. He will yet give the reading public other new books. Dr. Ellis A. Pate, one of the pioneers of the profession, also has literary ambitions, and has a stock of stories that will "go over" if he lets them loose. Alexander Hamilton Martin, William R. Green, Robert Roy Checks and others in the legal profession as Wells B. D. Baxter, W. W. Baskin, A. D. Baxter in the real business, have demonstrated the possibilities of Cleveland opportunities. Finally—A Bit Personal A bit of personal reference in Cleveland may be parodied. It is the native home of the "family." M. Helen Q. Boulton-Brascher was born here, the first colored graduate of the women's department of Western Reserve University, and the two "kiddies" making up the sum to the family: "First saw the light of day here; the writer spent sixteen years in civic and political activity here nine of them editing a newspaper in the very lean years of the journalism profession. Cleveland-Tom Johnson said: "It is a city on a hill." May its light of progress and human justice never grow less.

The St. Louis Argus is peculiar in its field. It not only covers St. Louis like a blanket, but reaches out one Ucle bams's vast domain, and is given careful observance by this most thefty, fringed and thoughtful minds. to exist among the fifty thousand, Colored trade in Louisville. There are few cities in the United States where advancement and a progressive spirit is shown to most advantage than is true these. Colored men and women are represented in particularly even; industry and convenient line of undertaking. In the theatrical field, the Lincoln Moving Picture and d Vaudeville Theatre and the Palace Moving Picture Theatre are two of the best managed and directed by Colored people. While the Palace Theatre has a number of white business men on its board. The Lincoln Theatre is managed and directed entirely by Colored people. The largest Moving and Packing business in Kentucky is controlled by three Colored firms of Louisville.

This sketch of Louisville would not be complete without mention of the First Standard Bank which was opened for business on February 5, 1921, with a combined capital and surplus of $110,000. Within five months, the deposits exceed $108,000; their customers number more than 3,000 and their total resources over $200,000. Some of the most influential men and women in Louisville and Kentucky are members of the Board of Directors: among whom might be mentioned Dr. C. H. Perrish, President of State University Louisville Ky, and Bishop George Clement, Mr. W. W. Spreadthley, their deputy president, and the board of the Trustees of The First Standard Bank was organized by Wilson Lowett, who is President of the Bank. This recent interview with the writer, in response to the question as to what this bank was playing in the life of the community / Mr. Lovett made this statement, which is itself Indicates ```markdown ``` the care with which his institution interfaces the commercial inter- nections of the community. "I sincerely believe that within the next ten years the commercial and industrial progress of the Negro in America will amaze the world. Here in our own community businesses of every description (for the most part with insufficient capital) are springing up almost weekly. We have already directly assisted in the financing of establishing of other important affiliations during the five months since we began operations. We regard it as a primary function of this bank to assist in finance and making successful the meritorious businesses among these new ventures. Our effort is to have the First Standard Bank function as a financing pool into which may be poured a large part of the money belonging to our group; these funds in turn may be used for the development of reasonable safeguards, to assist first, the various new and old business enterprises and secondly, the personal needs of our people. In backward countries banks are but little used by the masses of the people and the money is boarded, becoming a dead asset. A bank becomes a pool, into which are drained thousands of small sums, easily wasted, or if not wasted, unproductive by themselves, and the sums so accumulated in the life of the community. If the owners would deposit them in banks the effect would be to radically change industrial and living conditions in the lft of any group. Colored people who deposit their funds in Negro banks who use these funds in their business have the satisfaction not only of receiving the interest returns on their funds, but of knowing that they are also increasing the financial and industrial development. Insistence is fortunate in possessing banking facilities for its commercial activities, offered by mcp or Mr. Lovett's broad gauge appreciation of the rapidly growing needs of his clientele.

The Centrevey in the Church at Antioch (vv. 1-5). This difficulty was a most serious one for it threatened the disruption of the church into Jewish and Gentile divisions. The question was, "Shall Gentile convertes be required to keep the Mosaic law as a condition of salvation?" This issue was brought on by the coming of certain men from Jerusalem who declared, "Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved" (v.1). The question was so difficult that Paul and Barnabas were unable to put them to silence. These Jewish legalists had the letter of the Scriptures on their side; they could point to the commandments where this was enjoined upon believers (Gen. 17:14). Paul could not point to any Scripture where it had been abrogated. If Paul could plead that Abraham was justified before he was circumcised, his antagonist could say, "Yes, but after justification the rite was divinely imposed." The brethren at Antioch decided to refer the mister to the mother church at Jerusalem. Accordingly Paul and Barnabas and others were sent as a deputation to Jerusalem. 11. The Delibrations of the Council (vv. 6-21). 1. Peter's Speech (vv. 7-11). He argued that God had borne witness to His acceptance of the Gentiles by giving the Holy Spirit to them the same as unto the Jews. Since, therefore, God had not put a difference it would be folly for them to do so. God's action in sending Peter unto them was the unanswerable proof that there was no distinction to be made. 2. Paul and Barnabas rehearse their experience (v. 12). They told how that God had set His seal of approval upon their preaching of salvation by grace through faith apart from works, by the working of signs and wonders through them. 3. The argument of James, (vv. 14-21). He took the fact declared by Peter and showed how it harmonized with the prophecy of Amos. He showed that the reception of the Gentiles was not in conflict with God's plan, but in strict harmony therewith. God's plan for the ages is as follows: (1) Taking out from among the Gentiles a people for His name (v. 14). This is what is now going on—the calling out of the church. (2) After the church is completed and removed the Israeliitian nation will be converted and restored to their land and privileges by the Lord himself at His return (vv. 16, 17). (3) Following this will be the conversion of the world through the agency of converted Israel (v. 17; cf. Rom. 12:15). His judgment should not be troubled, with things that are Jewish, but should be warned against the perils of heathenism, such as meat offered to slaves, fornication, and blood. The mother church at Jerusalem came to a unanimous agreement and accepted the resolution offered by James. They not only sent a letter stating the decision of the conference, but took the wise precaution to send influential men along with Paul and Harabas to bear the same deathmoy by word of mouth. This letter denied the authority of the Judalizing teachers (vv. 24), and declared the method by which this decision had been reached (vv. 23-27). 14. The Spiritual Missionary Journey Began (15:38; 16:55): 1. Contention over John Mark (vv. 36-41). Paul was suspicious of Mark because of his desertion on the former journey. Barnabas took Mark, and called to Cyprus. Paul chose Silias and went through Syria and Cilicia confirming the churches. The Lord thus overruled it to good, for it gave an opportunity for wider dissemination of the gospel. 2. Finding Timothy (16:1-5). This was at the very place where Paul on his Brat journey had ensured cruel stoning. Timothy was with Paul through much of his work ever-afterward, a great blessing to him. Huskiah, the Builder. And the rest of the acts of Heskiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?—II Kings 20-20.

White Go To Pan-African Congress Dr. Dubois And W. F. White Go To Pan-African Congress Associate Neg. N. K. August 10.—Dr. W. E. B., Dubois, editor of the Critics and Walter F. White, sailed Saturday, August 8, on the Holland-American Line Steamship Ryndsm, to take part in the Pan-African Congress to be held in London, Paris and Brussels. Dr. Dubois is secretary of the Congress, which is the second of kind, the first having been held in represelling 16 countries. Before sailing, Dr. Dubois gave out the following statement concerning the Pan-African Congress: "The Pan-African Congress is not a scheme of migration either to Africa or elsewhere. It is not a project of riled or open war or conquest. It is not based on revolution or race hatred. It seeks knowledge and action through reason and law. In the equality and race but education and opportunity and periodic conferences. "The world is uniting, whether by League of Nations, of Disarmament Conference, or Peace Congress. Sooner or later the Race and Color Problems must be faced. The Pan-African Congress can prepare the way for this by uniting effort, clarifying ideas, collecting facts, and presenting to the modern world clear, intelligent and carefully considered demands." The sessions of the Second Pan-African Congress will be as follows: Two sessions will be held in London on August 28th and 29th, three in Brussels, August 31st, September 1, and 2, and two in Paris, September 4th and 5th. There will be a history and civilization of Africa, conditions of persons of African descent throughout the world, and remedies for present conditions as well as methods of settling the Negro problems of the world. The Brussels sessions are to be in World Peace-Palace. FRANCE TO INCREASE HER COLORED SOLDIERS Associated Negro Press. PARIS, France, August 19—France is planning to increase the number of colored soldiers in her army. The present head of the French general staff has a project to make every division in the army consist of two regiments of white troops and one of colored troops, even in time of peace. Realization of this idea, according to its promoters, would have the double advantage of permitting a reduction in the length of the period of military service in France and of compensating France for its smaller population as compared with that of Germany, with the latter being European France the nation has surpassed 40,000,000 people, to oppose Germany's 40,000,000 but if the French colonial empire were included then France would have 40,000,000. The practicability of the plan has been proved, it is thought, by the services rendered to France during the World War by its colony troops. Allogether the French colonies furnished 221,000 working men, 100,000 of the latter is attested by the fact that 20 per cent of them were killed. At the time of the armistice there were under arms eighty-three battalions of Algerian and Tunisian rifles, twelve battalions of Moroccan, ninety-two of West Africans, seventeen from India, China from Madagascar, Guinea-limited and from the French islands, n'total of 216 battalions. The project now under consideration would include 300,000 colonials in France's peace-time army. It must be recalled that eighteenth-century, ideas of democracy and in France, with the result that there is practically no prejudice against Arabs and very little against blacks or Mongolians, although curiously enough, there is more against the latter than against the former. One serious question, how the Senegalese could ever really become accustomed to the clammy rigors of a French winter. Associated Negro Press. A NEW YORK CITY, August 10.—With the opening of the new cotton year last Saturday, a carrying over of the raw material looms up rather large, in fact, fully as great as was predicted several months ago. An estimate by the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture places the amount at 10,530,323 bales, of which 7,421,536 are in this country. Cotton consumption for the ending is put at 6000 bales. This country must be put at an average of 50 per cent, greater and be continuous for the entire year to come and yet there will be enough cotton to meet the demand even though the domestic crops should fall below the lowest estimate. The Associated Negro Press DIXON, Ill. Aug. 16—A number of Negroes were driven from Dixon by a mob of 200 white men of this city and Pole. Though the exodus was accompanied by violence, were relentless and only in the morning they thought to have previous insults trouble. A hand of eight unidentified white men set fire to a negro White report and it was destroyed. Both demonstrations are outgrowths of the emperor of William Cody, world war veteran, who was that. Three colored men arrested for the crime, have been held to the grind jury and preparations were made to remove them from the local jail if necessary. No insultation was given that an insult will be made to apprehend any of the whites who participated in demonstrations.

The late score came in the eighth, wheat Torrent), the first man at bat if that eventful timing, cracking out on the second hit of the game, of the Drake offense, alluded to second on an infield roller, later stealing third and finally scoring on a little rolling grounder that caught a St. Louis pitcher out of position. The battle of pitchers will long be remembered by Chicago fans, as neither of the burriers had and advantage until the inning that the game was put away on the twel. For seven frames Franks retired the Fosters in one, two three order, not more than three batters facing hip in his and but one, one behind from his and but one foot, for seven centers, but one man reached second base, and he was retired at third. The Brown pitching end of the fray measured right up to Drake's, and went a little better: Beenret retired the man in two, three, order, fanned seven walks, two; but not a St Louis batter touched his offering for a safe blog, until Bennett, a pitching for Wallace, dipped one foot in kind, but the Mound City rally was snuffed out in a double play which brought the game to 8.4 close.

It was a difficult and bitter defeat to swallow, but to Manager Wallace, who was playing in place of Howell, goes the greater portion of the blame if there be any 'he was doing the best that he may do.'

However, the Mound City defense by the show side and two long series fights helped the runs run.

Ladies will be admitted free on Monday and Tuesday. The Marcos compose a strong team which is an associate member team. The will be the first game played on home grounds by the St. Louis fighters for the Lakers pennant and a "full house" is sure to greet our boys. The game will be called at 3:15. The St. Louis boys are playing at the Pythian Encampment, Topeska, Kansas, this week. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, AUG, 19, 1921 ST. LOUIS STILL HOLDS DOWN THIRD POSITION The latest reports from games played by clubs in the National, Negro Baseball League, leave the St. Louis Giants still holding down third place. The Monroe City Stars are now 5 games instead of 3 out of first place on account of losing two to the Chicago Giants. The following stamping of Clubs does not include the games scheduled by seven Detroit and Kansas City at Detroit. No report has been made of these games. A series victory for either team does not affect the St. Louis stamping, but a 2 out of 3 win for the KC will put them still more unorganized than the St. Louis. The face of the first four is close enough to make picking the winner out of question at this time as a little streak of victories can easily land Kansas City St. Louis or Detroit at the top for keeps. It is unfortunate that the schedule at this critical period is not air tight. Too many exhibition games are being played to the decrement of the runners up. The number of games played by the different teams is far from being on an equal, as a real journal race requires the team to play 42 games. Kansas City has been in 67 league contests. Columbia 57, Cincinnati 56, St. Louis 46, Ameri-ton kicks 52, Indianaapolis 19 and Detroit 46. STANDING OF CLEMS Chicago A. G. 36 16 652 Kansas City 44 23 657 ST.

Aug. 13— He came, he saw, he conquered" can will be said of Jack Johnson's first visit in a long time to the Nation's Capital. Large and sympathetic crowds watched for his every appearance and cheerled him to the echo when catching sight of him. Jack made his first appearance at the Howard Theatre about six thirty Tuesday afternoon. Long before this hour the crowds gathered to greet him, who was greeted to the table in Mr. S. H. Dudley's high powered car and buzzerening the side entrance of the theatre, missed the eager crowd at the front who had been watching for hours for the appearance of the former heavy weight champion of the world. Jack was introduced by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson who in the course of his remarks said: "There is nothing more important than hate, which I am ashamed of. It was my privilege to have the honor of introducing a United States Senator but in the light of recent events I feel more honored at having CAN BE SECURED ON VERY ATTRACTIVE TERM?

Jack advanced wearing a well-fitting Tuxedo, and with a light step, booking the picture of health, and was applauded by the well-liefed house of friends and admirers. When the applause died out, Jack delivered his speech, holding the camera of all present and he wished the echo when he said: "I feel that I owe a debt to the race and if ever given a chance, will pay it." He gave an exhibition of eleven athletic stunts. He punched a bag; did a little shadow, boxing and had ten men on each side pulling against him which showed his excellent condition regardless of what the sport writers have been publishing about his decline. Banquet Tuesday Night The Champion made two appearances at the Howard Theatre Tuesday afternoon and night. After the nine hour appointment he was driven to the Whitehall Hotel, where a committee had arranged a banquet in his honor. Edifor J. Pindley Wilson, was toastmaster. Many of the business sign of the city were present and reminded to short toes. Mr. Johnson said that he was in an good condition, physically, now as he was when he went into the ring in Reno. "If I have the opportunity to meet any man in the ring in the next 18 months, he will go the same route as Jeffries." "He also said that he tried to be fair to every one and knew that there was not a person in that court to claim to have ever been mistaken," he pressed everyone with his gentleness demeanor and all present are of the opinion that Jack can "come back."
