STRONG PLATFORM FOR NEGRO REPUBLICANS IN VA. An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. X NO. 23 STRONG PLAT, NEGRO REPUB Express Full Faith In The Republican Party As Ascribed To Lincoln, Douglass And Roosevelt. Denounces The Present Day Tactics As Practiced By Party Leaders. The Negroes of Virginia who have put an entire ticket In the field, consisting of what they call "All True Republicans!" have adopted a platform upon which their candidates expect to In their platform, they set forth their loyalty to the true principles of the Constitution, and the nature the attempt of some leaders to disfranchise any group on account of race or color. They hold it is their duty to vote and to be voted for at all elections. The following platform was adopted: **Reports of Committees** The Committee on Platform, J. Thea Nassau, National Republican Party for the State of Virginia, the edicts and principles of which were unanimously adopted by the Convention on motion by State chairman J. R. Pollard, under second of Delegate theme at the Third district, which he represented as follows: **The Platform** **Preamble** The Republican party of Virginia in State convention assembled in the City of Richmond, the fifth day of Sepulchral Independence in the principles of Republican as declared by the founders of the National Republican Party, and adhered to by such leaders as Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and the great abolitionist of the United States, all of whose allegiance to those principles as the bedrock of our splendid institution and as the only certain guarantee of the liberty and the future security of all the people in this country in the uncertain fortune that dies before us. 1—Francisco We hold that under a government where the sovereign powers are lodged in the people and exercised by them, the right to vote is inseparable from the right to be served for and any attempts to separate these persecutives is a dangerous political heresy, contrary to the genius of our Republican form of Government of the people. 1—Francisco The history of the colored people in Virginia for the past 20 years attests the fact that they are by no means chronic office seekers, and therefore we demean as a point of view the Republican platform in which it attempts by innuendo to assure the white electorate that it is opposed to Nero office holders and thereby in its efforts to gain the support of the colored office offer gratitudous insult to the colored electorate at large. We believe too that character and experience are necessary qualities to be possessed by anyone offering for the suffrage of the electorate, but we fail to understand the importance of the excellence of his character who never has been put to the test or gained experience in office which he is never allowed to hold. We condemn as utterly evasive and wittily misleading the attempt to conceive of the character of people in politics with a desire do change the social understanding always between the race in this Stage; and while we respectively and narrowly demand" to be rights, privileges and immunities accepted, including the right to vote and to be racial for, still we present the justification coming from certain sources that we desire to inherit in any way to distract the very coolest of both races for Virgilian. And, in things purely political we must match them with a reason of right, courage and courage and we feel that the group of ideas and themes that we have been introduced to should be the most important and most useful to be The St. Louis Argus LINCOLN PARTY OF KENTUCKY CASE STATED In stalling their case, the Lincoln Independent Party of Kentucky sets forth many grievances that has been tolerated by the Colored people of the state. It is charged that the whites have conspired to keep Colored men from elective offices, notwidening the Negroes were "regular republicans" and charges that Colored women are referred to as "hunky Negro women." The public is warned against giving any heed to the frighters of the Race who are mere hirelings of the bosses, and are paid a price to go around and criticize every movement that is startling. A "Statement Of Their Case." The Lincoln Independent Party is a movement started by a number of our Race who believe the "Republican" party has become illly white and antitheocratic. We teach the "Republican" machine a lesson is to teach it at the polls. The Republican party is in power in city, state and nation and yet it has done nothing for us although every white man who has a political job has it by virtue of being a white man with not having given us any decent recognition in the way of positions and jobs that would respect for the Race, the local "Republican" machine has gone out of its ways to tell the white man that he is not a white man. It has made distinct efforts to catch the anti-Negro vote by such acts as these: 1. Having a "Republican Day" and sending invitations and tickets to every white man to attend. 2. There would really be no Republican Party here without us. The "Republican" machine has codes of money and it will pay members of the party who are trying to break up this condition for the good of the Race. They will say it is a Democratic move and they will present a Democratic Party that it will elect the Democratic ticket. What if it does? Will it make any difference to the "Nigerian" who will white man hold the ticket whether they are Republican or white "Republicans." The Lincoln Independent Party cannot hope to refute the lies and the personal sham that the machine will put out through. Colored men who have little to two four labs and others who are considered on Plains' Gallery 18 getting $1 to $4 a day during the campaign. The facts are put before the Colored men. If after thinking this matter yourself, if after thinking this matter you feel that your self-respect and your face price can allow you to support the no-callled "Republican" party, then do so. But if you want to teach the "Republican" party locally and nationally a lesson, if you want to teach your nation to be made of a different tribe, help the Lincoln Independent Party for the House in Louisiana will become Lincoln per se. Good and there are more. Published In The Interest Of Colored People ARKANSAS EXECUTION DELAYED THIRD TIME Judge Grants Another Hearing To Determine If Six Negroes Got Fair Trial.

ADMINISTRATION PAPER SOUNDS A WARNING TO REPUBLICANS Washington Star Says: "Tide Of Political Dissatisfaction Is Rising So High and fast, and the Old Republican Ship is being storm tossed so bitterly by the Colored Anglican Masses. In every political sailor's country, very very soon grab 'Life Saves' or be forgives doomed. This is tragic, but true." The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21—The great daily newspapers of the United States have a special notice to the remarkable political conditions existing at this time among Colored Americans. The altering and significant feature is brought out that the underlined policy of "Lily Whiteslam" adapted by the Administration to the African-American arouse reflex indignation in Eastern and Western states where Negro totes count." The Washington (D. C.) Star, an attention to the fact that never before administration "newspaper, calls attention and lead to some sort of exertion of its national, value and significance." Says the editor of the *Washington Star*, under the caption, "The Colored Voters." In a dispatch from Richardell (gelling of the "Lily Black" pages); The convention, after nominating a full ticket adopted a resolution authorizing Chairman Joseph Pollard, Negro candidate for the United States Senate here last year against Senator Carrier Glass, to get every section of the United States, and to call a conference in Washington simultaneously with the recruiting of Congress, to place the case of the Negroes before the country. They claim the white Republicans, have thrown in their support of the "where they are at." Pollard at once got busy and expects to have a large attendance at the proposed Washington conference. "This is the 'meet' of the 'Lily Black' movement. The effect sought is outwardly positive, but in the possible, Colored voters living in states where the votes of Colored men are solicited, and when east counted, are to be marshalled against 'Lily Whitty', and the Republican party put on notice. No 'Lily whitty' or 'Lily Whitty', and the support of Republican candidates, are not national anywhere by Colored meep.

"There is one other element," said Dr. Moton, "to which I would call your attention, namely thrift. Save your money and, invest it in corporations the race. Buy homes and other property. I do not urge you to save money and invest your money solely for the sake of having money, but rather for what money means in the way of respect, culture, better educational, facilities, and more positions for the youth of the race. "Wealth is the power which gains the respect and recognition of all people white and black. And if we are to take our pieces among the other nations, we must also promote wealth and this can only be done by saving and investing your money and by supporting business enterprise conducted by members of the race." J. M. Mose, Chairman of Mr. Mose Associates, said that he is excited to members of the race to question truths, and have he started in life with greatness of faith, mind and hard work.

MOORE CALLS A CONFERENCE Meeting to Determine Ways and Means for Securing Representation in Coming Constitutional Convention at Y. M. C. A, September 30th. It has long been an open secret that the state of Missouri needs a new constitution, updated and generally outgrown, so much so in fact that Missouri can no longer make a creditable appearance in the society of the more modern states of the Colony; and the general state has been greatly retarded. At the election in August the people of the state voted to adopt a new constitution and arrangements for the secession of the state. The making of this new constitution is in all probability the most important matter that will be before the people of the state during the next fifty years; and interested—if any other is as much so—the colored people in what the makers of the new constitution may put in or leave out. It is particularly important that the colored people be directly represented in this convention, and Representative Waitall M. Moore has called a conference at the Y. M. C. A. Friday evening, 8 p.m., the 30th meeting to discuss and represent the new constitution. Representation may be required. A coronal invitation extended to all interested persons to attend.

The Ku Klux scheme is a blind summery and fanaticism, menace and "moral blocy," graft and grotesque violence. The bulleous are so mixed that one wonders how it can enlighten even fools into its meshes. The organization, however is so antagonistic to law and order and liberty and is so menacing to American primitives, that, in so far as the law may permit, the whole force of enlightened opinion should be directed to its abolition.

Now, to say the repeal, rather than the repitation of the play, as was printed last week, seems like a great mistake but it was not a mistake for it was written just so. The writer of the advertisement would not fully own that he wrote it that way until he could see that his plans were working out as he wished them to. Well, now, he will tell us just what his plan was. He says those that read it and could see where the mistake was, would naturally discuss with most anyone that while it had been right, it would not have attracted their attention so much as this did. And now it is in the minds of so many that he feels size of a large crowd because those that have seen it are advertising it with the best of compliments.

In addition they are eighty little children reciting (to the auto-training shop). 2. There are no toilets with the portables and the children have difficulty in opening the heavy doors of the Summer building. 3. A plan should be adopted for urging the establishment of junior high schools to educate the congestion in this High School. These should be located out to cut down the excessive amount of grade children now around for car fire. 4. "Deductancy in the administration of schools" is one of the latest educational program. Steps should be taken to keep in touch with the authorities and details of the best educators so that we may intelligently encourage such democracy. 5. An entertainment committee should be organized which from the beginning, while putting the law on board and including systems will plan and ultimately entertain. PETER H.

Each seemed to vie with each other expressing the good deeds of this organization and what it stood for. H. Eaton embarked on the reclamations of this great institution. Geo. Sullivan in his fice way, swayed the meeting in his forceful manner in telling of his love for the Benevolent Order of Pallman Porters. H. Redman, chairman of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America, local No. 7. of St. Louis, spoke of the opportunities that lie before us and that by cooperating together with the interest of the order, we can overcome that and that we should overcome every opportunity. T. J. Sunderns struck the key note when he said we are our brothers' keepers and let us as we meet the Porters speak to them, take their duties and bring it to the meeting, tell them of what good meetings we are having and that here we can meet and talk of the different happenings. L. M. Hill, the little wizard, who is ever the first to be connected, alligned so along the lines of our adoring rules for the guidance of our organization and many other good things he said space will not allow printing.

The St. Kate Avenue FORWARD FRIENDLY BY THE ABOUT FUN CO. COLLINS BROOK IN NEW YORK. MYSTERY, MAGIC, MUSIC AND FUN AT THE B. W. THEATRE Mystery, Music, Dancing and Fun form the ingredients of a spice vau- dette at the Booker Washington this week. Barth Kenneth and company furnish the mystery. The "lump of Satan" has a rich stage setting of satin, which makes a picturesque frame for his weird looking paraphernation. In his reats of magic he shows many new tricks. Very cleverly, he turns water into wine and view verses; they thumbs and passes a ball, baths and colds; percussion with many little optical illusion. He adds a running stream of fun to his work and the audience is kept in a tish module while he mystifies. He is only assisted by Mrs. Kenneth. The three other acts on the bill fur- pish the music and comedy. The Davis Sisters are certain raisers. They appear as two, hotel mids们 who labor discord the broom and "doll up". Their main forte is the gift of gab and the ability to join over some lively song numbers including, "Tired of me" and "I'm not afraid of you". They also have a bit vivacious dancing. Rythmets and Jones, man and woman, have a clever line of original and humorous conversation that is sarcastic and cautious in spots. They do considerable singing and the man gets a warm hand reciting a poem. We have a wonderful Rainbow is an artisticienne. In A Drama Of The Fires Of Love In The Frozen North and Cooling Embers Beneath Tropical Skies. The Magnolia Brown Trio closes the show in a rot of fun and music punctured with dancing. A humorous time of patter keeps the audience laughing. The song *It Good Enough Is Going To* by the band with comic antics, takes the house by storm. The closing song and dance is full of speed and novelty. The Sad and Intensely Interesting story of a girl who married Once For Love and Once To Forget It. CLEVER MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY NEXT WEEK Boisy D. Laggie, Bandana Girls, pre- senting "Synaptic Joe from Idaho" will be the attraction at the Booker Washington Theatre next week, begin- ning Monday. The putti is said to in- clude the fastest 'pony chorus' on the stage. They are Nettie V. Snow, the Texico pony; Virginia Jones, the dancing demon; Beatrice Patterson, the whirl- wind; Jenifer Hill, the Baltimore step- pee; Davinee Hill, the Baltimore bird, sim- ported by a strong east of pennies, viz. Freddie Jones, original Hock; Ham Toulgass and Rastus Parterson. New Serial The thrilling new Vittagaph serial, "Breaking Through," featuring Carmel Myers and Wallace McDonald, will start at the Booker Washington this Monday night. AT THE MOVIES "Old Did." "Desperate Trails." And "Roads of Destiny." At The Star Mildred Harris Chaplin in Old Dad will be the feature at the Star Theatre this Saturday. It is a story of a fun-loving and bewitching tomboy who was expelled from school because of it. Then she escaped had a world of experience but Old Dad stood true to her. Harry Carey in "Desperate Trails" will be presented on Sunday. It is the story of a strong man who is charged by Fate of Both the woman he loves loves the one he thinks he loves; of a noble self-esteem which sends him to prison from which he escapes when he learns he is trapped in a prison he has trapped him and of a desperate night which opens the path eventual happiness. Next Thursday, Patine Frederick in "Reeds of Destiny" will be the big feature. It is a drama of destiny and in it a girl, who has but fate worked out to its conclusion in four different News articles, four places north, east, south and west. It reveals how strong two individuals can be linked together by fate and how impossible it is in some cases for circumstances to separate them. Love is the theme of the plot and reveals how unhappy a woman can be with the sinisterness of mind and superstition and against which devil and shadowy only tend to accentuate its real beauty. "Deception" and "The Love Special" At. Just a Mere The repudiation of Anne Boleyn, his second wife by King Henry VIII, whose love affair abashed church and state in Europe in the sixteenth century, constitutes one of the great dramatic scenes of "Despotion," a new Pargamount picture of a tremendous sweep made in Europe, which will be shown at the Jesse-More Theatre, Sunday and Monday. Different to despair by the infirmity of her royal birth, Anna on her knees, and clinging frantically to a bungler, observes the King paying court to her rival, Jane Seymour. She knows that the mother heart is crushed. It is the pathetic story of Anne Boleyn that makes "Desception" a photograph of deep modern appeal and vastly superior to the average picture. "Desception" was filmed in Europe. More than seven thousand persons appear in the film, many of the scenes of the most gorgous ones shown on the screen. Wallace Reid in "The Love Special" will be the two day feature next Tuesday and Friday. It is a picture of the great outdoors, with real thrills, beautiful natural settings and a delightful romance. Reid plays the role of a young girl, who learns to train hilarious division. The production contains a great many beautiful exterior scenes, most of which were filmed in the famous Assatebe Valley. Oscar Michaels' new picture, "The Gobianne's Mystery," is being shown at the Criterion this Friday and will be on the Movie Theatre program on Sunday and Monday. It is a lively production With a notable Colored chant, including: Elijah 'Preer' Dick Abrame, L. Beulah, Eddie Brown and Laurence Chevalt. It surrounds the mystery of a young girl found murdered in the basement of a factory. The heckles surrounding her tragedy, like THE ST.

MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. MAYOR.KIEL AND THE BIRTH OF A NATION A committee from the local branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called on Mayor Kiel Wednesday and protested to his Honor against the showing at a local theatre here, the photophony known as the "Birth of a Nation." Of course, as might have been expected, the mayor found a ready "alibi", by assuring the committee that they had made a mistake, in that he was not the man clothed with the power and authority to prohibit the showing of the picture. He made no effort to stop it. He did not call in any advisors in the matter, and made no efforts to reach the case. He turned the committee down "Cold Turkey." It will be remembered that the Birth of a Nation is a fore-runner of the Ku-klux-Klan, and has popularized itself with a certain class of people by playing upon race prejudice, race hate and by stirring up race strife. The play has had rough sailings and has caused race riots, race clashes and in fact, has been a regular tool for the devil to stir up strife generally. All of these facts, and more, were laid before Mayor Kiel, but he still refused to act. Not long ago, when a paper attacked the Jews, the Mayor quickly found a way to suppress the sale of that paper through the City Counselor's office. He did not wait to see whether his acts were right or wrong. The Jews were offended and the Mayor acted. There was no dilly-dallying and beating the devil around the bush in that case. But in the case of the Birth of a Nation it is quite different. The Negroes were offended and the Mayor does not give a d...n. He did not even seek the advise of the City Counselor's office. To-be-sure, the committee could not make the mayor act in the case but the committee knew that he could if he would. We heartily share the views of the committee on the subject. It would be hard to convince us that the mayor, as chief executive of the city, was powerless to act, in a case of this kind, if he was sincere in his efforts. It has been done in other cities; there is no reason why it should not be done here. The only difference is that the public officials here, are either a party to the sinister scheme to libel the colored race or they lack courage and backbone to do their duty.

Then why should any oops to such an organization. Since the exposee of the Ku-Klux-Klan by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the New York World, we all are beginning to see as we have never seen before, the footprints of a klansman in places where it was least expected. The parts that the klans plays in race riots were shown quite clearly in The Post-Dispatch of Sept. 17th. It is made clear in this article how the Klan foments race riots by inciting the people with glaring stories of "Negro Uprisings", etc. The case herein referred to is reported from Norfolk, Va., where the chief of police, a major in the World War, had joined the Klan and after joining had stated that he was fearful of a race riot, and was ready to turn over two-hundred and sixty repeating rifles to the Klan to kill the Negroes. The chief also promised to make arrangements to furnish airplanes to the members of the Klan in event of racial trouble. This story coincides with the recent rac riot at Tulsa to the letter. There is no further doubt as to the whole cause of the riots during the past five years. Wholesale murder and robbery are in their plans. Then why should any self-respecting people belong to such an organization. OUR POLICE AND THE KLAN As the revelations into the work of the Ku-Klux-Klan are being made daily through the Post-Dispatch, we are wondering the more, and in fact, we are becoming quite anxious to know how many members of the St. Louis Police Department who really belong to the Klan of the invisible empire. Rumors continue afloat, that half of the Police department are affiliated with the Klan. If this is true we cannot but see a great menace to our city. This is a matter which should be carefully investigated. No efforts should be spared to ascertain whether or not these rumors have any foundation. We can not understand why President Miller of the Police Board, does not investigate this matter. The Grand Goblin of this domain has stated for publication, that among the membership of the Klan in St. Louis were a number of police officers. The time is here, and the public wants to know who their officials are, and if they belong to the invisible empire of Atlanta. Let them "sing out", and let us know where they stand. President Vijetor Miller owes it to the people of this city to let us know where the Police department stands on the matter of the Kur-Klux-Klan.

It is plain to be seen from the Virginia episodes that there is something along with the party as well as with the manner of doing things politically, at least those of Richmond, Va., the vital necessity of the The time has certainly come when Negroes must look more attentively and intelligently to their laurels politically, if our people's place in the Sun is to be-maintained. The behavior of the Republican party towards its colored adherents all told can not be said to be anything near what it show, be. To say that the G. O. P.'s, to an alarmingly great extent, throughout the country has assumed an openly contemptuous regard for the Negro and his just demands and aspirations, will be to put it lightly. It is plain to be seen from the recent Virginia and Georgia episodes that there is something radically and definitely wrong with the party as well as with the people's hugely obsolete manner of doing things politically. Our people, at least those of Richmond, Va., are rightly waking up to the vital necessity of changing front politically in some form or other and thereby command the recognition that is due them. The formation of the independent Negro G. O. P. is a step in the right direction and should, we think, supply the necessary impetus where needed for moves of the same kind throughout the country, including our own Indiana, where Negroes control the votes with the whites absolutely in control of the Negro. Twenty years ago, the publisher of this paper, in his run for Congress, warned his people against the impending results of their foundationless political beliefs and mistakes, and predicted just such consequences that have supplied the necessity: the part of the Virginia Republicans to get together for self-preservation. Had the advice given by Mr. Knox on these matters been beeded, there would now be a far different story to tell by the G. O. P. and our people. "Individually," said Mr. Knox, in several of his speeches, while making his fight for Congress, "the race does not amount to much. Collectively, it does." Which is undeniably true. It has always been a policy of The Freeman to call attention to certain politically disastrous mistakes habitually and persistently committed by our people—one of which, we are glad to see has just been very definitely corrected in Virginia. The Richmond plan, which is a splendid one, should spread like wild-fire among our people throughout the country. OUR LEADERS of the masses of Colored Americans that lightened and forward-looking.

It is to the credit of the masses of Colored Americans that their instincts are enlightened and forward-looking. With every confidence one can feel assured that an appeal which is honest, manly and progressive will be received with sympathy. With regret we cannot say that the same is the case with all our leaders. It is a sufficiently engrossing task for our race journals to fight against our enemies outside the race, without being distracted by being compelled to watch the captains of our own forces. It is no secret that championship of the race's interests may prevent the advancement of the individual who takes such a manly stand. There are too many of our own men who not only refuse to take a positive stand on a racial question, but do their utmost to discredit those who do. By these methods they seek to avoid displeasing those who are in power, and in order to be given preferment and political office. The remedy of this situation is clear. A premium should be put upon manliness and not upon subserving. Let the people make it clearly known that those who will not fight for them shall not represent them; let us in a more definite manner scrutinize our most prominent citizens and relegate to the rear those who come forward during a political campaign for the purpose of controlling our votes, but are absent when there is a great wrong to be righted and our real leaders who always ready to respond at a minute's notice to defend the race will receive just recognition as accredited spokesmen of their race. —Guardian "NEVER WAS I HAPPIER OR MORE ELATED" SAYS COL. ROBERT T. KERLIN Professor Dismissed For Friendship To Negroes Has Just Begun The Associated Negro Press LENINGTON, Va., Sept. 21, Col. Robert T. Kerlin, former professor of English, Virginia Military Institute, who was summarily dismissed by the Board of Governors, for exercising his Constitutional, right of freedom, of speech, has issued an exclusive agreement to an Associated Press Press. In his statement Col. Kerlin praises the newspapers for their generous response of service and good will. He declares that the editorial expressions from our newspapers "go to my heart to cheer and strengthen it." Col. Kerlin declares that he was never hippier, and that "instead of being defeated I have only begun to fight," and Will continue to labor for justice in the South. The complete statement follows: "Never was there a more instantaneous and generous response to any my service than your papers have given to mine, simple as it was. That present and generous, but enthusiastic and eloquent in expressions of gratitude and praise. It makes me wonder what your press would do were some real hero to appear n't do something really great. I have before me perhaps 20 editors from your press that would do credit to any press on this globe. They go to my heart, to cheer and strengthen it, and touch it to softness too. What can I cannot put force upon you, you cannot put force upon me, cause when he is so cheerful on, when so many grateful eyes are turned upon him, when so many hopes are fixed upon him?" "Now as for myself and my plans. Never was I, happier or more entitled, though put out of position and home, with nothing assured as to the future. My moral victory is of the first order. The victory is in the victory in the world. All else is deduction. God and one good, brave man (though I don't pretend to be more than moderately good and brave) are always victors, whatever the appearances. Henceforth my confidence in God will be absolute. I have learned how to trust him and be the empliant, and how to be the steadfast and stead of a long defeated. I have only begun to fight. And night. I will, with that one weapon I can weld-my pen which is mightier than the swords of all tyrants who ever, sought to throb the freedom and enslave men's minds. The fighting henceforth, will be glorious. The battle will be fought, and the rallied to me! Men, and women, the earth of the earth, of every walk and calling of life, in every part of the land, have been up and assured me of their adulation: support and loyalty. Old friends and new and absolute strangers have flooded me with messages, have warmed my heart, have served my life, and fore, you know my plan. It is to remain here in the South. If I can secure a maintenance, here for my family, and fight the good fight on the field where I was begun and where the victory must be. There is nothing important but that I am close without saying that the Associated Negro Press has done a splendid piece of news distributing and that Mr. Dewiller has rendered by his story a distinct service to the country.

Then You Should Take This Wonderful Blood Remedy Prescription C-2223 This Prescription was once the treatment used by a prominent doctor. Many discouraged use, and some even made happiness very high, and hospitalization they have required to get well.

The C-2223 Liquid Remedy ADMINISTRATION PAPER SOUNDS G O. P. WARNING numerous; and their estrangement of the pericardial heart. Lily Whitery thus becomes a national issue, and the Republican national leaders are to be asked to go on record with regard to it. Raised thus twelve months and more before the next elections when there is to be a strenuous muster of all voters, white and colored, this issue is bound to attract attention and lead to some sort of expression as to its national value and significance. The time is now to speak and act. The Associated Negro Press states with unqualified authority that every Colored leader in Washington, including Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard, J. R.A. Crossland, Charles A. Cottrill, Phil H. Brown, and others who are in favor with the present Harding Administration, together with Robert R. Church of Memphis, Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, Isaac Nutter of Atlantic City, William C. Matthews of Boston, and numerous other throughout the country, committed, unburdened and alarmed at the present state of affairs, but many of them are in a state of mind bordering on indignation. These men are holding on to such good graces of condescending Administration favor, "hoping against hope" stretching out their arms in anguish, as a dying man, "grasping for a life," and a man with "teeth" and clinging and gnashing of teeth" behind the scapes, between both white and colored leaders, but none have yet dared to throw completely off the rooks and declare for political freedom. However, the tide of political dissatisfaction is rising so high and fast, and the old Republican ship is being storm tossed so bitterly by the Colored America country, that these political sailors must very, very soon grab "Life Sailers" or be forever doomed. This is tragic but true.

Want Self Constituted Groups And K. K. K. Banished Howard University WASHINGTON, D.C. PART TWO ATLANTA. Gn., Sept. 21.—We find in our hearts no extermination for crime, be it violation of womanhood, mob violence, or the illegal taking of human life," declares a statement just issued by a special section of the Rural Co-operation, compelled quitely of women, which has just been organized here to banish all groups which would take into their own hands the execution of justice to set up a single standard of morals both if the white and the colored races. We are led to lie at large to uphold public officials in the discharge of their duties, "to recognize the forces which are undermining our life, and speedily to banish self-consistent groups and agencies which presume to usurp authority, set aside the dignity of the human race, and execute prosecutors, jurors, judges and executors of suspected criminals." "We have a deep sense of appreciation for the chivalry of men who would give their lives for the purity and safety of women," they declare. "But we feel constrained to declare our convictions concerning the method of protection, the imposed protection. We find in our hearts no extermination for crime, be it violation of womanhood, mob violence or the illegal taking of human life. "We are convinced that if there is any one crime more dangerous than others, it is that crime which stifles at the root of, and undermines constituted authority, breaks, all laws and restraints of civilization and human rights. We believe that justice and deprives society of a sense of protection against barbarism. "Therefore, we believe that false appeal can be made to Southern manhood that mob violence is necessary for the protection of womanhood, or that the brutal practice of lynching and burning of human beings is an expression of chivalry. We believe that these methods are therefore protection and safety but that they jeopardize every right and every security that we possess. "The double standard of morals, which society passively permits is rapidly producing results that imperil the future integrity of our national life, and we are persuaded that this problem can never be solved as long as there is a double standard for most members of any race. We appeal to the creation of a treatment which will no longer submit to this condition and declare ourselves for the protection of womanhood of whatever race. "We are convinced that if there is ever to be a solution of the race problem there must be an intensive and sustained campaign to instruct whites and Negroes to respect. Both moral and civil law. Therefore we recommend that all people give themselves to a dehumanized study on these vital matters relating to justice and righteousness, to press, public, platform, and media against public thought in bringing about the state of public opinion that will compel the protection of the purity of both races."

But let us take a moment to mention the photographic department. There is nothing like it in America, every body says so and it must be right. Under direction of Prof. Bathey this department is performing miracles and the end is not at all. The chief of division of division unfolded a plan he is taking on in conjunction with Dr. Mother McKee who had just completed Tuskegee's glowing crown. The A.N.

JOHNSON'S CHANCES OF CONFIRMATION ARE SLIM Report Comes From Washington That Sub Committee Will Ask Senate To Reject Nomination of Geigin Man For Recorder of Deeds At The Capitol. WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 10. Henry Lincoln Johnson will not be conferred as Register of Deeds of the District of Columbia if the report of the sub-committee to reject his nomination carries weight with the Senate committee when reported to that body. It would mean that the sub-committees to whom the were referred for investigation, will report that his confirmation should be refused. Sometime ago the President sent in the name of Henry L. Johnson for Recorder of Deeds, a position which he held under Roosevelt. The nomination was perfunctory reported to the Senate.

The Association for Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 21—The recent National Baptist Convention left more than a good impression on the city of Chicago. This conclusion can be attributed to long enough to listen to the expressive voice nounced by the average citizen since the big meeting passed into history. Impressive, in its bulk its proceedings were also marked by a dignity of general bearing that was decidedly, insinu- ing in all the aspects of its propog- sion, the character of the pro- gram laid down in the conclusions of its deliberations. "There were not a few dramatic moments reached during the ten day sessions. There was a highly dramatic incident presented at the "very opening of the convention. It came at the time when the national address. The address was a rehearsal of the race's relations to the country and outlined the work "The National Baptist Convention must do to secure amity and to improve the religions and economic position of the Negro in America." The address, which had held the large audience for longer than an hour and a half, with uplifted hands Dr. Morris pronounced: "I give myself into your keeping, praying that the Negro will be the instrument which will be men back to God. For God is all righteousness and faith that men will find freedom and see God." When the cheering had subsided Tir, W. M. Taylor took the center of the stage and delivered an eloquent paragraph on the president's address and that the rules he suspended Dr. Morris relied on as the executive of the organization by mechanism. The rules were suspended, and Morris relied the chief executive of the organization by mechanism. The rules were suspended and the cheers and sustained shoutings and quick successor, Dr. W. G. Punks, the vice-president at large and Prof. R. M. Hudson of Selma, Ala., was elected secretary. It was the 17th time that Prof. Hudson had been chosen as secretary of the organization. Dr. Morrison had been called upon to direct the duties of what is known as the largest body of Baptists in the world. Dr. A. J. Stokes was elected treasurer, Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, Texas, Dr. E. McDonald, Missouri, J. H. Nabitt, Greenwich, Connecticut, secretiers, Dr. C. H. Perris, tucky was chosen stintistian, Dr. E. D. Pierson, Texas, auditor, Dr. J. D. Crenshaw, Tennessee, editor the National Baptist voice; E. M. Lawrence, business manager, and Dr. Charles Stewart, Illinois, general missionary. The welcome provided by Chicago, where he spent spontaneous and fine, Dr. J. W. Killen, the officer of Olivet and the idol of Chicago, assisted by Reverends Brunham, Hacking and the loyal committee, handled arrangements with consummate. The inmate 8th Regiment Army was crowded from morning till night, Baptists and non-Baptists and the merger of baptism names was the signal of hardening cheering. He hold on the public is marvellous. During the convention, some of the past, some of the most deprived and some of the best preschools in the country were sent to the front and delivered to the people messages of inspiration and hope. The first sermon was delivered by Rev. T. C. Auburn of Pittsburgh, Pa. He is a young man and an able preacher. The sermon Thursday evening was delivered by the Rev. W. S. Ellington of Nashville of the best trained young men. He is a scholar and writer as well a preacher. Friday night the Rev. Dri P. James Bryant of Atlanta, Ga. For years this address was delivered by the late Booker T. Washington and upon his death Dr. R.J. Moton was the speaker and for the past two or three years it has been delivered by Sutton E.

This year the honorary Prent- lyrant and it was well worn by him. He filled the bill in every particul- ity. It was a strong plea for the race. Dr. L. G. Jordan who has served for the past 26 years as secretary of the Foreign Mission Board resigned the position and Dr. J. E. East a returned missionary from Africa was elected secretary and been installed in the position. All the other secretaries were retrained. —The Bishops were encouraged by the strong report made by Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention. It was marvelous, the duration of business done by the board during the publication of the chase of property on which it is to be erected the largest publishing house in the world, operated by the race. One of the turning points in the convention was brought to the surface by the report of Dr. Townsend, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing board. The report showed that the volume of abscess done through its various agencies was appointed to create a plan that would bring into being the largest publishing plant of the race anywhere in the world. Dr. Morris announced that plans called for an expenditure of more than $200,000 and that the building would be erected in the City of Nashville, Tenn. Secretary Hudson announced the scheme of the $1,000,000 campaign for church extension and the general work of the organization. It is proposed to raise $100,000 during the next five years, $1,000,000 for each year. Dr. Thomas of Exonston, IL., is the campaign manager in this vast movement. 4 The proffer of support by the white Baptists was a topic for general discussion. The feeling was expressed by many that it would tend, toward improved officiery, and growth for the denomination. Dr. L. K. Williams was in the forefront in urging a progressive stand on this policy. / MAYOR TRIES TO PUT CRIME ON NEGROES IS HIMSELF ARRESTED Nebro Press HONKEN, N.Y.

ALDERMAN JACKSON MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO HOLD TWO JOBS By Associated Press CHICAGO, N.J. Sept. 14.—The decision of Robert R. Jackson, Negro elderman, to hold both State and city commissioners on the floor of the city council challenged it. It seems clear under former rulings of the city law department that Jackson, who is the colleague of Aberlerman Louis B. Anderson, Mayor Thompson's Colorist floorheader, cannot serve as a commissioner and the State industrial Commission and the time he resides in the city council. Administration leaders had planned to retain Jackson's badly needed vote in the council by asking no ruling from Corporation counsel Ertieson, but Ald. Thomas O. Waltke, from Mayor Thomson's homeward, the old Twenty-third, announced that he will not remain in view of Mr. Ertieson's former opinion.

HOR-TON-A Grew this Hair Long and Silky It happened in Atlanta, "way down in Georgia." Newspaper men gathered there from the four palaces of the compass, agreed without resolving, that "something must be done." They accepted the philosophical of President Harding, given by him to the Association, Negro Press, that "Publicity is going to gain the weapon of all in furthering the interest of the Colored people of America," and they got off on a good start. After two sessions, two consecutive hot nights, in the offices of the Atlanta Independent on the Fifth floor of the Odd Fellows building, a "Committee of Fire" was appointed by E. W. Henry of Philadelphia, representing the Philadelphia American, W. T. Apterson of Baltimore, W. T. Apterson of Baltimore, Maryland, my Maryland," editor of the Baltimore Herald, presided the first night. The Committee of five, B. J. Davis, of Atlanta, editor in chief of the Chishun of Philadelphia, former President of the National Negro Press Association; B. J. Nelson of Wilmington, editor of the Wilmington Advocate; Delaware and Nahum Daniel Brasher, of Chicago editor-in-chief of The Associated Negro Press. The Committee organized with Mr. Davis chairman; Mr. Peterson as Treasurer, and Mr. Brasher as secretary. The object of the newspaper men is to carry on a propaganda campaign against political injustice. The newspaper men are going on the theory that injustice will get a hearing if it gets an airing, or that a way will be found, if by turning on the searchlight of the city it may be seen who are "in." In other words, the newspaper men thinking for the people and acting in their behalf, realize that the trend of the Republican party is "against" and not "for" the Colored American citizen in a spirit of equal justice. So facing the condition, the newspaper or committee decided, to use the quotation from one of the famous addresses of the propaganda: "Th Republican party is the best. Else The Sean." Then they ask the "What's The Matter With The Ship?" Then they proceed to say, in chorus: "Let's Find Out." Well, there's something wrong with the Ship, hence, those on board, as well as those on dry land, are urged to provide themselves with "Life Preservers"—meaning no dangerous woad, course but public sentiment and good will, which will keep mind as will cause a renewal of a perfectly smooth sailing. So then those who get "Life Preservers," or help the Committee to get them, are called "Life Savers." Hence, the newest and what is destined to be the biggest sentiment making history of the Negroes of America will be the end of the country to the other and of the "Life Savers." Anyone may become a "Life Saver." In fact, according to the committee, all must become. There will be no competing organized efforts. All of these, as in the past, will be given a boost by the newspaper men. They are all, when properly organized, bound to do great good. The newspaper men have simply set out to "tell the world." The Jews, Irish and all other classes of people, have thousands and even millions of Holocaust for propaganda, why not the "Children of the Sun"? It is going to be done. It is going to be printers' ink scattered from the "free fields of Florida to the duck pools of Maine" ad from these plumbing Atlantic to the passive Pacific. It is going to be done, and the job is going to be put by the men who know how to siphon printers' ink. To be a "Life is" is to be much up with the times. We agreed with the general idea of a Pan-African movement, or any movement to unite All Africans of the world in common understanding and purpose, either then the intellectual or by organization of the masses. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 23, 1921 race," told also that "n a delegate Good Hall complained of the injustice of the American occupation of the island." We wonder if any man present had enough of the sense of humor to laugh when this eloquent example of "cooperation" spoke up. This is a stronger race with a worker race in governing the weaker race's territory. The delegates from Mississippi and Tulsa could also have spoken illuminating commentaries. And why on earth should this Congress interest itself in black government in Haiti, where is a handful of Negroes, and yet be "opposed to black government in Africa" in the place where the Negroes? Of all places in this world Africa is the first place where the nations ought to expect to welcome a really good black government. We do not believe in "Black Zionism" either in the sense that all Negroes from other countries will ever return to Africa. And there is even no such "Zionism" among the Jews in reference to Palestine. If anybody ever reckoned that the Jewish camp campaign to establish a Jewish state in Palestine meant that all Jews of New York would return to Palestine, that somebody reckoned without the New York Jew in all New York where they would not like to see his face in the presence in Palestine, or elsewhere, if it could be so. It would not lower the status of New York Jews, and it certainly would not be welcome to Jews of oppressive countries like Poland of Turkey. It is the same with African descendants in other countries: the great majority will stay where they are, but thousands of them would go to Afrika, or to to Moon. If they had a free and independent government there, and adequate conveyance, they moved a few seasons ago from Mississippi to Minnesota, even then they were not going to political independence and to only slight-ly peaceful conditions. This northward migration of the Jews from the South to the North in the United States ought to have exploded the old idea that they have about them any peculiar inertia which might prevent the progressive and ambitions from "moving". Diageo and the other black French politicians were speaking more to the ear of France than to the heart of the black millions when they declared that all the Negro wants is to "operate" with the white man in governing, not the white man's country, mind you, but his Negro's. French mind, but his Negro's mind, and we generously believe that this difference in the French way, which prevents Diageo from correctly understanding the situation and the desires and longings of the black millions whom he does not know. He might have spoken more correctly for his fellow-blacks in North Africa, and especially for the French-favored leaders, than for the "blacks all over the world." When they back in many parts of the world speak for themselves, he will begin to count his wrongness. The deepest desire of the black millions is for government, self government, independence, sovereign, strong and mighty, and the most logical piece of all places to desire to establish such government would be Africa, where practically the whole black race lives. THE NEGRO'S GRIN (By Mrs. Irs Stuart) (For The Associated Negro Press) Often, almost too often, we read gawering and surreptitious reference to the Negro's grim. It is usually introduced by the whites to prove that the Negro is lacking in any of the finer mental traits of people, is ability to suffer, to be concerned over the welfare of others, to know that he is being insulted or hurtred, and in the last analysis he does not know that he is not being treated as a man and hence should not be treated as a man. One does not need to argue to prove these assertions, just state facts. Take the first example: supposed inability to suffer. No race supposed lives in children as completely as the Negro for no race makes the tremendous sacrifices for the happiness and well being of their children as does the Negro parent. And the ability to love supremely proves the ability to suffer to the same extent. You can't blame the persecutors when he and his have taken part in a horrible spree of murder and destruction against a race of people solely because they look as God made them, for being outside because their intentions were not a complete success to the extent that those who were not killed physically, were neither killed mentally and spiritually. The wanton destruction of anything whether people or the ideals, hopes and faith of people in absolute waste. If the white mob could add to their own days the possible years that their victims might have lived; if the white county could add to their own ideals of desegregation and justice that which is created out of black prisoners; if which would be created out of their own hope of a chance to live and their children, unharmed by ailly prejudice, which brings unnecessary hardship, that which they take from Negro citizens; if the white prosecute and punish could add to their own faith in God and right, what the newspapers by law, with silence of the public screening "knen" to these men, attempts to take from us, there would be some wrap of an excuse for the destruction that they daily bring to pass. But as an ideal the house fails in the ideals which could be ruined by the murders for the own use. THE TRACTOR ARGUS PUB.

The Negro does not grow sailer or stargant and cause to grow, but rather he grips and grows and his grin gets contemt and ridicule because he is able to grin. His grin in the face of American oppression and defeat stands for the same thing that the whiten's grin in the face of defeat stands for, the ability to forget the defeat of yesterday and the determination to try again.

There is one outstanding feature in the present political catastrophe. It is this: None of the members of the President's cabinet, members of the United States Senate, Republican nor members of Congress, Republican, have spoken a single word, publicly against the trend of the times. There is no need of saddling all the protests on the bombing of the United States, Mr. Edwards, the man, said one well informed citizen to the Associated Negro Press, but every Republican everywhere is bound up in the policy until he declares himself. If the meantime, independent organization movements are springing up and continuing to thrive, like mushrooms in a shady valley.

NEGROES IN THE SOUTH One of the methods used by Virginia to build up the health of her population is the employment of colored grads. Four counties now have colored nurses to supervise the children in the colored schools. The first of these nurses was employed for two years by the Negroes themselves; but her work so commended itself to the county board of education, that at the end of that time they took it over permanently. Of 1,200 children 1097 were found with various defects, mostly corrective; hundred have been vaccinated; and all are learning the fundamentals of hygiene and sanitation. There are twenty two colored public health nurses in the state, all of whom are in close touch with the state board of health, to which they report monthly. As the benefit of this policy are seen the work is being extended. Standardizing Colored Schools Georgia law, until recent years, forbade the use of public funds to maintain high schools. Schools of this grade, being thus under private management, were naturally of various standards; and one of the greatest public services of the State University of late years has been to standardize and correlate these white schools throughout the state. The department of the University having this work in charge has now begun the standardization of colored schools of the state. The first colored institution to be inspected and accredited by the university is meeting standard high school requirements in Knox Institute, Athens. Other schools are to be examined this fall. The university authorities think that a similar public rating of Negro colleges would be beneficial to all concerned; and that the interests of sound education would be promoted by the standardization of colorful institutions of high school through the provision that such work has recently been undertaken in North Carolina, not, however, by the state university, but by the Division of Negro Education of the State Department. Negro Workman In the North A recent issue of the Southern Workman gives an interesting study of Negro labor in a big Northern industry during the present business depression. The study was made by a Southern man, T. J. Woofer, Jr. of Georgia and the corporation reported on is the Amazing Mill Co., of Middle Ohio. The firm employed a thousand Negroes during the war, and now has half that number on the payroll. Few of them can operate the more intricate machines, the majority being occupied with the earlier processes of the mills, in which they do excellent work. The company makes considerable effort to hold these men by keeping them comfortable and contented. Houses have been built for them at a cost of from $14,000, and $100 is required from a contractor, with monthly installments of $25 thereafter. 90 per cent of the houses built are being bought. At the burrows for unmarried men a childhouse is provided, with pool and reading rooms and with a colored worker in charge. The company built and gave the city a $75,000 building for a colored school. It contains an auditorium in which the company gives entertainments twice a week. The company employs a colored kindergarten who looks after the children below school age, advises with their mothers about home affairs, and has charge of the company playground. The company builds a meat meat, to give intelligent care to "the humankind end of the machine." The company considers the policy justified by the results. --- The University Y. M. C. A. of Athens, Ga., will have a class in race relations this fall, using Dr. Weatherford's books as a basis of their study. The Recreation and Community service Board of Houston. Tex. has operated two playgrounds this summer for colored children. The City Board of Education has cooperated by giving the Recreation Board the use of two of the playgrounds of the colored schools. Sign Of Better Times A SIGN OF BETTER 1905 The Federal Council of Churches, the summer organization Commission on Non-Churches, and Race Relationships. The Chairman is John J. Engan, a prominent Presbyterian layman of Atlanta, Ga., already known for his constructive service in this field. The Commission, composed of representatives of all churches, white and colored, affiliated with the Council, includes a large Southern membership, men and women. In its first position, the Commission has its foundation that the Christian religion affords the only real solution of race problems, and that Christian brotherhood is the only bas- sas for satisfactory race relations. Its program includes the promotion of acquaintance and confidence between the races by conferences, and by bringing white and colored churches in closer communication; by arranging the sentiment of the churches against inebriety and eliciting them in a five years' educational campaign against lawlessness; developing a public confidence to secure the Negro equitable provision for education, recreation, health, housing, and all matters of community welfare; giving publicity to the facts of racial relations; and presenting the subject at religious gatherings through white and colored speakers. MGVABLE SCHOOLS A picturequeque, yet highly practical invention of the Alabama agricultural extension work is the movable school, originated at Tuskegee institute. It moves in a "tin Lizzle," usually, and comprises one or two trained workers, small models of sanitary farm buildings, and tools of the various home and farm activities to be demonstrated. This outfit finds, at the appointed farmhouse, school, or church an expectant grief of colored folks who are not just told how to do things, and why, but who are shown the things being done, under their very eyes, and for days together. Then it moves on leaving behind mute, yet eloquent witnesses to the wisdom of mixing brains and agriculture sprayed fruit trees, a whitewashed chicken house with inmates freed from milts, a sanitary toilet, a scientific sweet-potato bed, a screened dwellig, a lignous potato patch, properly cultivated corn and cotton, immunized entitle, and the like. One school recently happened along when the pigsworm was being made ready for a new preacher, and lesson in home renovation withwidth, reminiscent of the furniture and stain add carp apples. Kitchen utensils and tubs were mended. An old square plano, hardpressed past music-making, was turned into a library table; wakes were made, flowers and shrubbery set out, screens made, and an attractive little home left as a permanent teacher in the wake of the vanishing "school" as it hung on its way to its next appointment, leaving the state with a better civilization.
