HARDING SPEAKS ON RACE QUESTION IN SOUTH An Exponent of Truth and Justice TEXAS JUDGE ADVISES KLAN MEN BE SHOT UPON SIGHT Says Homicide Justifiable When Disguised Persons Attempt To Spread Alarm San Antonio Jurist Declares Klan Is Bringing Lawlessness, Disorder And Bolshevism To Country. SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Oct. 26.—Shoot first and investigate afterwards. This was the advice of Judge W. W. Wailing, a special district court judge of Bexar County, in regard to action to be taken in the event of a visit of masked men, before the members of the City Club. Homicide is Justifiable, Judge Wailing to harm any citizen or force him to toes, when the party stain in disguise is engaged in any attempt by word, action or sign to harm any other person. According to law, he said that the shooting of a Ku Klux Klanman attempting to arm any citizen or force him to leave his home would not constitute a punishable offense. If the klanman is masked or disguised. "I want everyone to know that law," said Judge Wailing. "It may be the means of the prevention of many acts of violence. The Ku Klux Klan may pay a visit to any one of this club at any time. Be ready for them, and re-read the laws. Judge Wailing will kill any of its members if they come upon your premises in disgrace." **Law Against Disgrace** Not only is the appearance of klansmen in disgrace against the State and National laws, Judge Wailing said, but it also is punishable under a city ordinance in San Antonio. This ordinance provides that a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $200 may be assessed against any person appearing upon any street, alley or other public place in disgrace. Judge Wailing was introduced to the club by Judge Thomas D. Cobbs, Associate Justice of the Fourth Court of Cid Appeals, as the first District judge in Texas to charge a grand jury with the investigation of Ku Klux Klan activities, Judge Cobbs offered high praise for this action against this organization, which he branded as "American and inimical to the rights of citizenship." He went charge to the grand jury here. Judge Wailing said, "was prompted by newspaper reports that prominent citizens of Austin had applauded 1. Ku Klux parade there. Think of it! There were those masked paraders viling to law and so-called prominent citizens applauding their action! "I also had information that a large delegation of San Antonians went to Austin to witness the parade. I believe that such a man was to stage a communication to them, it may be that my charge to the grand jury helped to prevent it." At the opening of his address he said that his subject was inappropriate for his remarks and that he would have "lawlessness, disorder and belieflessness" which is what Ku Klux Klan is bringing to this country. BEAUMONT DAY NURSERY REJECTS KLAN DONATION The Associated Negro Press BEAUMONT, Tex., Oct. 26—A gift of $1,200 by the local Ku-Klux-Klan for the Beamont Day Nursery was received last Monday when eight out of nine general compulsive men engaged funders for the institution located in gift Truck.

Oct. 19.—Taking pattern after the white man of the South, the Negroes have organized themselves into what is not generally known to be *Knight Owls*. Their purpose is to watch what goes on at night, engaged by the Negroes, that white men, high and low are worse after the colored women, than the colored men are after the white women, and they are determined to break up such practice.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People A MEMBER QUITS THE REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE,IN ROW South Broadway Firm Withdraws Its Membership After Being Hounded About Property Negro Acquires Attempts Made To Stir Up Racial Feeling By Insidious Propaganda. And while this in American spirit rules the Exchange, it is by no means the spirit of all the members. This organization is spreading a pro-paganda over the city which is doing the business, and breed contempt for law and order. Hounded Out of Exchange According to a statement of a member of the Rembecker-Medicine-Gonad Realty Co., $805.5, Broadway, this firm has withdrawn its membership from the Exchange on account of what they call unfair practices. "We will save that $30,00 a year for abuses," he added. It is said that the purchase of a building by the Stir is by Jas. White some time ago is in reasonable for the "bouncing" of the S. Broadway firm. It being charged that they were interested in the ideal.

Daily Press Inflammatory About "The Black Brute" Before The Truth Is Brought Out. LENINGTON, Ky., Oct. 20. After inflammatory headlines had been published in the daily papers here such as "Black Bruce assaults white child" "Lynching is threatened if Negro is caught," suddenly, these papers shut up like clams and not a word further on the subject could interest the editors because, instead of it being a "Black Brute," it was found to be a Negro. While White was no more able to lynch or brute force, but a white gentleman was prominent family was the guild. The girl's first statement was that a Negro had criminally assaulted her while she was playing near her home here and following the arrest of a dozen Negroes, two of whom narrowly escaped the hands of the mob that scoured the country for miles around, the 'thorough grilling of the white child by the police officers resulted in the little girl finally admitting that no man, aged fifty years and a member of one of the most prominent white families of this section was the one who assaulted her. The man, whose name has been suppressed by the papers was rushed to Frankfort, upon orders of Circuit Judge R. C. Stoll, for safekeeping. The girl stated that she had placed the blame on a Negro because the white man had threatened her with death should she tell of his relations with her. The mother of the child, noting her soiled clothing, questioned her as to the cause and it was then that she stated that a Negro had assaulted her. "Great Americans" Dr. T. J.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE STARTS WHOLE COUNTRY TALKING Negroes Should Have Political Equality With The Whites. Challenges Nation To Face The World-Wide Race Problem. Hopes For Political Freedom. Of Negro Same As Other Groups. Should Not Belong To Any Party As Such. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 26. (Special) Before several thousand people at Woodrow Wilson Park, Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, made what may be called the keynote speech of the affidavit that the National Administration is exposed to pursue with regard to the Negro question. Opinions among the Negroes here are somewhat divided as to the effect the President's talk will have upon the white South. But the right of the Negro to broader political advantages, based on a public of race, but never on an aspiration for social equality, is now widely worded in the constitution of his laws on the whole American race problem. These are some of the principles on which the President appended to the notion to "hay aside old prejudices and old angstionsism" and give support to a constructive policy of racial relationship. "Politically are economically, there need be no occasion for great and permanent change, there shall be improvement of the absolute divergence, in things social and racial." nity, provided that on both sides there shall be recognition of the absolute divergence in things social and racial. When I suggest the possibility of economic equality between the races, I must it in precisely the same way and to the same extent that I would mean it if I spoke of equality of economic opportunity as between members of the same race. In each case, I would mean capacities and deserts of the individual. No Social Equality "Men of both races may well stand unempromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. Indeed, it would helpful to have that word equality" obtained from this consideration; to have it accepted on both sides that this is not a question of social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental eternal and inescapable difference. We shall have made real progress when we develop an attitude in the public and community thought of both races which recognizes this difference. Like the political aspect, would say that both sides should be fit to vote. Prohibit the main voting when he is unfit to vote. Essen "I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote." "I wish that both the traditions of a solid Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up." "I would insist upon equal educational opportunities for both." "Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly, against every suggestion of social equality. That is not a question of social equality, but of equality of opportunity, fundamental, inescapable affair." "Racial ambiguation there cannot be. Partnership in the races in developing the highest aims of all humanity there must be if humanity is to achieve the ends when we have et for it." "The black man should seek to be and should be encouraged to be the best possible black man and not the last possible imitation of a white man." Question of Negro Migration He said in part: "The world war brought us to full recognition that the race problem national rather than merely national. There are no authentic statistics, but it is common knowledge that the war was marred by a great migration of the African-American to the North and West. They were traced by the demand for labor and the higher wages offered. It has brought the question of race closer to North and West, and I believe it has served to modify, somewhat, the views of those sections' on this question. It has made the South realize its industrial dependence on the North, the authority of the North realizes that the community in which two greatly differing races are brought to live side by side. "Is he should say that it has been responsible for a large clarity on both sides, a beginning of better understanding, and in the light of that better understanding 'perhaps we will be able to consider this problem together with all others' and of both races, in whose solution the best intelligence of both must be enlisted. **Phase of Problem** "Indeed we will be wiser to recognize it, it never yet. Whoever will wake up he must know, and the Mothern Stoddard's book on the rising title of color, or, say, the recent review of some recent literature on this question, which Dr. F. D. Lugard presented in a recent Edinburgh review, must realize that our race problem here in the United States is only a phase of a race issue that the whole world confronts. Surely we shall gain nothing by blinking the facts, by refusing to give thought to them. That is not a new way of approaching such issues." **Uniformity of Ideals** "Mr. Lugard, in his recent essay, after surveying the world's problem of races, concludes thus: "Here then, is the true conception of the inter-relation of color-complete uniformity in Ideas, absolute equality in the paths of knowledge and culture, equal opportunity for those who strive, equal assimilation for those who strive, equal maturation social and racial a separate from his own inherited traditions, preserving his own race purity, and race pride; equality in things, spiritual; agreed divergence in the social and material." "Here, it has seemed to me is suggestion of the true way out. Politically and economically there need be no occasion for great and permanent differentiation for limitations of the individual's amenity.

When I suggest the possibility of economic equality between the races, I mean it in precisely the same way and to the same extent that I would mean it if I spoke of equality of economic opportunity as between members of the same race. In each case I can capacities and deserts of the individual. No Social Equality "Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. Indeed, it would be helpful to have that word 'equality' eliminated from this consideration; to have it accepted on both sides that this is not a question of social equality, but a question of recognizing a 'fundamental eternal and inescapable difference. We shall have made real progress when we develop an attitude in the public and private sphere in races which recognizes this difference. "Like the political aspect, I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote. Prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote. Especially would I appeal to the self-respect of the colored race. I would inculcate in it the wish to improve itself as a distinct race, with a heredity, a set of traditions, an array of aspirations all its own. Out of such racial ambitions and pride will come natural segregations, without any law may prevent it, so the crowding in both rural and urban communities now in Southern States, satisfying natural inclinations and adding notably to happiness and contentment. On the other hand, I would pause upon equal educational opportunity for both. This does not mean that both would become equally educated within a generation or two generations, or 10 generations. Even men of color would be educated in such an equality as that. But there must be such education among the colored people as will enable them to develop their own leaders, capable of understanding and sympathizing with such a differentiation between the races as I have suggested, leaders who will inspire the race with proptide ideals of race pride of national pride, of an honorable destiny, of participation in the universal effort for advancement of humanity as a whole. "Basal unadmiration there cannot be. Partnership of the races in developing the highest aims of all humanity there must be, if humanity not only here, but everywhere, is to achieve the ends which we have set for it. "Problem for the World. "I can say to you, "people of the South, both white and black, that the time has passed when you are entitled to assume that this problem of races is peculiarly- and particularly your problem. More and more it is becoming a problem of the North; more and more it is the problem of Africa, of South America, of the Pacific, of the South Seas, of theocracy of the problem of democracy everywhere of the things we say about democracy as the ideal political state. "I would accept that a black man cannot be a white man and that he does not need and should" not appear to be as much like a white man as possible in order to accomplish the best that is possible for him. He should seek to be, and should be, a black man, to be a black man, to be a black man, and not th' best possible imitation of a white man. It is a matter of the keenest national concern that the South shall not be encouraged to make its colored population a vast reservoir of ignorance, to be drained away by the processes of migration into all other sections. That is what has been going on in recent years, at a rate so accounted for that no question of races to be, as I have already said, no longer one of a particular section. Just as I do not wig the South to be politically entirely one party, just as I believe that is bad, for the south and for the rest of the country as well, so I do not want the colored people to be entirely of one party. I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic South and the black race might be broken. Neither political sectarianism nor any system of rigid groupings of the people will in the long run prosper our country. * Education is Great Question "With such convictions, one must urge the people of the South to take advantage of their superior understanding of this problem and to assume an attitude toward it. That will deserve the confidence of the colored people. Likewise I plead with my own political party to lay妥妥 every program that looks to Bling.

THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 28, 1921 Milton Club Entertains Large Number At 2nd Annual Costume Ball Beautifully Decorated Hall And Delightfully Costumed Guests Make-Wonderful Spectacle Friends of the Milton Club were haply entertained at Pythian Hall last Monday night when some 300 guest of the younger set attended the second annual costume dance. This affair given annually by the Club is growing in favor rapidly, not because of its newness or novelty in Nebraska, but because of the extreme care and attention which the Milton Club gives in making this always looked for affair, sarpass other efforts in splendor and beauty. This club was founded two years ago and is composed of six young railway post clerks and two other former government employees. Its purpose has always been to entertain royalty and to give St. Louis young social set at least one memorable affair to look forward to each year. This they have done. The Milton Club has arrived and is a success. Guest on entering the otherwise drabt and ordinary looking Pythian auditorium were relished of their wraps by attendants. They were then visibly and pleasantly surprised of the wonderful change the interior decorators had made. The club had wrought an extremely intricate bowl some four feet in diameter, bung from the center chandelier and added by other bowls of like design but smaller, flooded the room with a pleasing soft orange light. The ceiling was converted into a gabled roof by a plastered hollowe or colors. The music platform was elevated, first by a novel scheme of decoration which showed to good advantage. A large banner held in mid-air by unseen fingers and bearing in outstanding large silver letters, the one word, "Milton" and secondly by unsurpassable musle which all seemed to enjoy. Many nationalities were represented by the guest and the club. Some noteworthy costumes and impersonations were Mr. S. D. Bingham, treasurer of club as "The Kalser"; Mr. Anglezey, club as "The Mexican" "dresner"; Miss Marguerite, club as "an clever Miss Foly as in her hair in "Broken Bars"; Miss Gladys Asbent of Atten was a clever soubrette, Miss Maurina King of Jerseyville was very striking as a gypsy. Miss "Innocence" was also there. Mr. Ida Dougherty were a novel costume on which there were some two hundred silver spoons finging. There were Turks, Mexicans, Indians, Chinese, Japanese Hawaiians, Colonials and many others, Spanish, Gypsy, Mexicans, Japanese Chinese, Turkish, maidens, Els, Fairies, ballet girls and Puritans danced in gay profession. At 11:45 the grand marche was called and led by Mr. S. D. Bingham. Partners were accused and after a few rounds, [scripture was thrown for several minutes, several impromptu acts filled intermission. Refreshing and delicious punch which some claim] more for than others could taste, added further spirit to the eating. Truly, it can be said everyone spent an enjoyable evening and judging from the milton club's complaints which the Milton Club has received, we are positive they are sure to sommelier the third annual costume dinner even better than any previous one.

St. Louis Choir Sings High Mass, Two Colored And Two White Boys Assist At Altar. EAST ST. LOUIS, 11, Oct. 20—On Sunday, October with St. Augustine, the Colored Catholics, the Broadway had disrupted a precious opening. For the first time in the history of East St. Louis, the scattered Colored Catholics as a body, had an opportunity of seeing in their own church the magnificent ritual of the nineteen-century-old Mother Church of Christendom. A good number of the non-Catholics availed of the unique opportunity, and the presence of a few white Catholic people lent to the event a truly Catholic aspect. A low mass at 8 o'clock for the convenience of those who might not be able to come to the regular opening Mass, the Tartan priest of the Society for African Missions, which is in charge of this work. A high mans was sung by a St. Louis Colored Catholic choir with Fr. Taylor at the organ-a gift of a local Catholic lady. Mr. Harrington, until recently a missionary in Liberia, West Africa and now Superior of the Society for African Missions in East St. Louis, was celebrated. Two white boys and two colored boys assisted at the prominent Real Pastor and a noted benefactor of the Church for Colored Catholics. The opening sermon, which was to have been preached by Rev. F. P. J. Bryce, also a noted benefactor of the new Church, was preached by Fr. H. Hartington. Commenting on the Epistle of the day, Fr. Hurrington spoke of the joy which St. Paul expressed because his newly-founded Church amongst the Phillipians had given such proofs of sincerity and charity and zeal of faith. Fr. Hurrington expressed his joy that the enlightened kindness of the people of East St. Louis had made possible the opening of this new Church, and he expressed a hope that like the Phillipians, the members of the new congregation would remain true to themselves, true to their great race and true to the Mother-Church. Commenting on some unfounded prejudices, common amongst colored people, against the Catholic Church, especially to the widespread belief that the Catholic Church was the one to whom the Bible he remarked in one simple phrase: "If we knew the Bible from the Church, there would be very little left," and that: "were it not for the efforts of the Church and her monastic orders, every trace and mystique of the Bible would have been lost during that stormy period of the world's history from the dawn when St. Paul wrote for the philipses to the Church door at Wittenberg; Announcement of evening meetings and meeting schools of special aftermath and evening classes, followed the serenum. Referring to the fact that several men had expressed a desire to attend Church if they only could go decent Sunday clothes, he deplored such a sad state of things, stating that poverty was no disgrace, for if it were a missionary would be the meant of men, that God is not an exegete of persons, and that those who had come there should try to represent Church attendance as something blighted and illuminated, and that military show room. He also pointed out to his people that their little Church lacked many necessary things. There could be no evening devotions because there was neither rope nor ostensum nor even a pix in which to reserve the blessed Sacrament, but with God, help all those things would come with patience and perseverance: "Let us," he said, "be rather thankful for what we have, than covetous of what we have not: 'our little mission allusion here would be the glory of God, and will indulently become, in God's good time and with the cooperation of its friends, a center of civic and religious importance." The official opening and dedication of St. Augustine's Church for Coloured people by the RJ, Rev. Bishop and clergy is postponed until Thanksgiving Day. WOMAN'S RECORD CLUB TO ISSUE A CENTENNIAL SOUVENIR RECORD BOOK Hopes To Secure Public Cooperation In Recording History Of Negro Achievement At the last meeting of the Woman's Record Club, a proposal was made and put in concrete form, for placing on record the part the Negro has taken in making history during the first one hundred years of Missouri's Statehood.

Chicago Defender follows along a similar court independence." We herewith produce the defender, for the benefit of The Argus reads: There never was a time in the political history of the Negro in America that he has been confronted with a more serious problem than now. The Negro press, which may be relied upon to indicate the feelings, the hopes, and the aspirations of the Race, is almost a unit in sounding the alarm, letting the people know that a crisis in our political life is at hand. Yet these editors have been slow to suggest the best way out of the unpleasant situation, with the least harm done to all concerned. It is surely a question of more than passing notice when one thinks of the attitude of the Republican party to the Race at this time. The Chicago Defender, the most widely circulated paper published by the Race, in its issue of Oct. 1, asks the question, "Where Shall We Go?" John Mitchell Jr., of Richmond, Va., in his talks has adopted the subject, "Which Way?" Mitchell is a candidate for governor of Virginia on an independent ticket, nominated by a convention participated in principally by Negroes, after they had been denied a seat in a "Lily White" convention. Mitchell admits that the course of the Virginia "Lily Blacks" is a hard one, and is not desirable; "but," says he, "there is nothing else for us to do." The Chicago Defender follows along a similar course, suggesting "strict independence." We herewith produce the editorial from The Defender, for the benefit of The Argus readers, which reads as follows: Where Shall We Go? IN VIEW OF THE ATTITUDE and indicated tendencies of the present national administration, which is presumed to stand for and represent the Republican party, and which seems inexcusable and indefensible, the question that naturally presents itself is, what shall we do and where shall we go? The attitude and tendencies referred to would seem to indicate that our presence in the Republican party is no longer desired—that the fundamental principles and doctrines which heretofore constituted the principal difference between the two major parties are to be repudiated and abandoned—that the party is no longer to be the organ and representative of those who believe in equal civil and political rights, national supremacy and impartial enforcement of the laws of the land and a fair play and square deal for all true and loyal American citizens regardless of race, color, nationality or religion. IF THIS BE TRUE the Republican party of today will have no further claim upon this great mass of the American electorate. These voters remained loyal to the Republican party, until the inauguration of the unwise and unfortunate policy of the Taft administration, which the present administration seems to have inherited. THE SUGGESTION comes from certain quarters that we align ourselves with and support indiscriminately the candidates of the Democratic party, if for no other reason than from a spirit of retaliation and revenge. This we believe is not the proper course to pursue. Life is too short and time too valuable to fight battles of retaliation and revenge. What we want is to bring about practical results for the future and not punish any one for mistakes of the past. Then again, we cannot overlook the fact that the Democratic party as an organization, is primarily responsible for the major part of the wrongs and injustices to which we are subjected. This, however, is not true of all members of the party. THERE ARE OTHERS who suggest that we as a separate and distinct group organize a party of our own. This is not only imprudent, injudicious and unwise but suicidal. Whatever we do and whatever action we take should and must be in co-operation with white Americans who are in accord with us in the advocacy of principles and doctrines we believe to be paramount and vital. The formation of a party upon race lines would place us in the attitude of supporting and encouraging what we denounce in others. THEN, AGAIN, some advise that we join the Socialists and other minor parties. What we should do is to ally ourselves with no party but maintain a position of strict independence, with a view of voting in the future for individuals rather than parties. In other words, we should no longer vote for the candidate because he is labeled Republican and against another because he is labeled Democratic or something else, but make the attitude of the candidates upon questions we meet paramount and vital, the controlling factor in casting our votes. THIS COURSE we are sure will result in relegating to private life those who are now in contrast of the machinery of the Republican party and by whom the secret principles and doctrines of that party are being betrayed and sacrificed. In that event, the Republican party of the future may again become the medium through which this great mass of voters above referred to can give expression to their views and sentiments. IF THIS SHOULD NOT MATERIALIZE another one of the type of Abraham Lincoln may come to the front under whose leadership these voters will rally in the formation of another party built upon the rains of the former Republican party. The word "former" is used adversely because the Taft-Harding administrations no longer reflect and represent what the Republican party heretofore stood for. TO HONOR ROOSEVELT one of the Nation will; on October 27 pay a night and meditation to the life of America; on the late Theodore Roosevelt; that made Roosevelt great was his daring. He had the courage to put his convict in a super-patriotic, in that he put his countrys will make any man great in the eyesight. Her that we may be benefited by the celebrity birthday, we should examine ourselves to these qualities that made him great. If we hien from that day, and resolve to be men, having once been President of the United nominee of the Republican party, yet he. The people of the Nation will on October 27 pay a fitting tribute in thought and meditation to the life of America's greatest citizen, the late Theodore Roosevelt. The thing that made Roosevelt great was his daring courage and patriotism. He had the courage to put his conviction into action. He was super-patriotic, in that he put his country above self. Such traits will make any man great in the eyesight of his fellowmen. So, in order that we may be benefited by the celebration of his sixty-third birthday, we should examine ourselves to see if we possess those qualities that made him great. If we have not, we should begin from that day, and resolve to be men, men of Though having once been President of the United States as the regular nominee of the Republican-party, yet he had the courage to rebuke the party for its wrongs by organizing the Bull Moose party. No one living today can tell just what his defeat in Chicago, 1932 meant to this nation. To be sure, it meant eight years of "Wilsonism"; but who knows what would have happened had Roosevelt been President when the world was plunged into the great war? Theodore Roosevelt exemplified the highest type of American ideals. He would do the right because it was right regardless to the howls of the mob. He believed in a square deal to all regardless of race or creed. He refused to close the door of hope against any man, and this was the secret of his charming personality which will live forever. ST. LOUIS TRIBUNE The Argus extends its greeting to The St. Louis Tribune our new contemporary which has just entered the journalistic field in this city. We look upon The Tribune not as a mere competitor, but regards its relation to us deeper, because the field is large and there are many battles to be fought for the Race. The more the voices that join the protest against the injustices to which we as a group are constantly subjected, greater will be the moral effect. We note that the initial issue, is a nice clean sheet, 8-pages, regular 7-columns, carrying news of general interest, with an editorial staff of such able men as Arthur A. Dyer and Robert P. Watts, both of whom are teachers at Sumner High School of this city. Associated with these gentlemen are Warren Brown Sr., Warren Brown Jr., Herman Dreer, Chas. DuPree and Margarite Wilkerson. The business manager is Oscar Lancaster, while George Mitchell is the circulating manager. With this coterie of officers, devoted and consecrated to the task, we can see nothing but success to crown their efforts. We welcome The Tribune into the journalistic field and bid the sponsors of that publication God's speed. Below we reproduce the copy of their dedication, which appeared in their first issue, that the public will have a better idea of their purpose: "To no dogma or clique, or creed or party; but to a spirit, a thot, a hope, a longing. To the damnation of the masters and the salvation of the masses in the red age—struggle to live, and labor, and rise. To the lynched and the outraged, to the sudra and the bondman, to the wedge-slave and the serf! "To all the millions of crushed and down-trodden, age-old victims of the creed and greed, and self and pelf of earth—to these we dedicate this paper and consecrate our effort and force and lives and souls that the cause of the living of these may be served in the name of humanity."

The fellow who saved a litt a little ahead of the game now We have before us volume one and No. two of The Western Dispatch, published in Los Angeles, California. The second issue is newsy and its editorials are striking along the line where strength is needed. There are some things we must not forget. Chief among them is the "Raw Deal" given the colored people of St. Louis. Some of the members of the Board of Aldermen are still asleep. Rev Abbott says, "It's a parrot Negro who you hear always repeating what the boss says." Amen! There is no use of sending anonymous letters to The Argus for publication in its columns. Your name and address must accompany matters you wish published. We admire Babe Ruth in that he strikes hard, either for a "honor" or strike-out. Kill time and you will possibly kill a good career. It is easy to find fault, but the way to correct it is to roll up your sleeves and go-to-it. The fellow who saved a little when he was making much, is a little ahead of the game now. DOUGLASS LIFE COMPANY MOVES TO LARGER QUARTERS Oceupies One Floor, Entire East Side, Midway Bld., Jefferson And Olive.

The Death Of Senator Knox Associated New Press WASHINGTON 04-28-04 Knox, United States Senator from Pennsylvania has caused the political conversation to change from that of appointments to one of expressing sentiment. Senator Knox was an unusual character, a man of great ability and highly esteemed by his constituents. He never did anything notable for Colored Americans but was one of that type of American citizens who had been a follow-feeling in the time of need. Senator Knox would have been a candidate to succeed himself as United States Senator from Philadelphia but death opens up a wide field of political activities, in the Keystone State. RECEPTION TO DR.

POLICEMAN TELLS HOW TULSA RIOT STARTED POLICEMAN TELLS HOW TULSA RIOT STARTED Says Massacre Was Planned By Police And Prominent Citizens Who Sent Out Airplanes. The Associated Negro Press TULSA, Okla. Oct. 19—Elisha Scott of Toppea, Kans., one of the attorneys retained by the Tulsa riot victims, has a signed affidavit in his possession, produced will throw an entirely new piece on the insurrection carefully planned by the whites here on May 31, last. It is the confession of a former Tulsa policeman, Yan B. Harley, white, and consists of 21 pages. Hurley, who discharged from the force and given his medals by his captains and militants, names several grimment city officials whom he deferred met in a downtown office and carefully planned the attack on the segregated district of the use of airplanes. He gives in detail the description of the conference between local aviators and the officials. After this meeting, Harley asserted the airplanes darted out from hangars and hovered over the district and metrogovernment on buildings, setting up interrogation questions regarding instructions from the officials shortly before the riot, his answer was as follows: "They have instructions for every call to be ready and on the alert and if they need to start anything to be ready for them. They forth any efforts at all to present it whatever, and said if they started anything to kill every b—— son of la—— b—— who they could find." Gustafson said, "of police at the time, was later directed to 'On the morning of June I gave our orders to go over to the Negra district.' Harley said. 'There was a bunch of rogues, the lower class, of people, standing and rubbing and hurting and carrying off stuff. Well, I found someone speakable in the way of robbery, I arrested eight and turned them over in the patrol, but that is the law. I see Patronize The Cut Rate TIRE REPAIR SHOP WE VULCANIZE CAREENS AND TUBES 4306 COOK AVENUE suppose they ever reached the jail". Hurley says drays came later and moved the stolen articles away despite the fact that the court ordered the chief court, and strict orders to permit only Red Cross carr. It was the former policeman's opinion that members of our Race fought in self-defense. However, he punctured his remarks with an exception, and the police house to avoid the proposed lynching of Dick Rowland. The confession also involves, a well known police official. He is Capt. George G. Halsey. He later said that Ribbons were applied to the proof that hovered over the district during the riot. THE N. A. A. C. P. POLLS CONGRESS ON K. K. K. THE N. A. A. C. P. POLLS CONGRESS ON K. K. K. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE of the Ku-Klux-Klan, namely that it is an organization which discriminates against American citizens who differ racially and religiously and promotes racial and religious misunderstanding. It also advocates to "liberty and our free institutions" Senator William M. Calder: "If the Ku-Klux-Klan is an organization conducted for the purposes indicated in the recent newspaper articles, then I condemn it in the strongest possible manner. I am deeply opposed to any organization which seeks to raise religious or race strife in America." Senator Miles Poindexter: "No secret organization, such as that referred to, avowedly for the purpose of taking an active part in the settlement of social and political questions, can be considered an important and various abuses. It is entirely inconsistent with the principle of government, through public agencies, controlled by the votes of the people I have no doubt the particle¹ organization referred to will be distanced." Willis: "As a matter of history it ought to rule by threat, intimidation and fear. If such ideas and organizations must be resorted to to maintain order in this country, Republican government is a failure. I am therefore not in favor of this organization as I understand it." Among the statements from the members of the House of Representatives, were the following: John P. Carew: "I have nothing to be ashamed for in the Ku-Kiut Klu-Kuut and in the suit of once disorganized and suppressed." T. W. Harrison: 'I am opposed to any secret organization, whether it is known as the Ku-KluKi-Klan or goes by any other name which undertakes to interfere in public affairs, in any manner, shape or form. There is no occasion for any revival of the old Ku-KluKi-Klan, but it has supported in years immediately succeeded the war, and I am heir of any steps necessary to suppress any organization that has any political purposes in view and which does not work in the open and submit both its methods and its objects to public inspection, and does not confine its activities strictly within the law.' A. A. Grima: 'The Ku-KluKi-Klan is absolutely unnecessary to accomplish the purpose if professors to ask and-tie their methods are a menace to the American Republic.' John Philip Hill: "As a member of Congress, and a supporter of the Constitution, I am opposed to the creation of an 'Invisible Empire' within the States, and further, I am opposed to fences racial and religious hatred." J. W. Fordyce: "If the Ku-Klu-Klan advocates such sentiments or principles as set forth in the pamphlets you furnish me, it come again, the class of unlawful organizations, andunallegal authorities should at once take steps to prevent T. W. Hukride: "I consider as an American any organization which is founded on race hatred or religious hatred, and as the Ku-Klu-Khan falls in this category, I am unalterably opposed to this organization." The National Association for the Advancement of People announced that further national conglents on the Ku-Klu-Khan would be made public as they arrived GIRL SAVES NEGRO FROM AN ANGRY MOB He Attempts To Shoot White Man And Runs Into Store Where She Bars The Door. GREENSBORO, Ala., Oct. 19—The coolness and presence of mind of a young woman probable, saved a Negro's life today and saved the stain of lynching, from resting Greensboro's fair name. According to officers, Charlie Jockisky had an alteration with a Negro named Wall Hopkins at his home in North Hale. On arriving in Greensboro today about 12 o'clock he hit the Negro and the dispute was repaired. The Negro's father stepped up at the time and fired his pistol on Jockisky Fortunately it trapped and Jockisky can, followed by Negro, brandishing the pistol, but in four seconds' the streets were alike with white men coming in Jockisky's aid. The Negro, facing the mob gathering, ran into Apey's store closely pursued by the infuriated men. Every man in the store was dazed to see a Negro rushing in with a pistol in his hand followed by so many men. Only the young woman in question the forethought to quickly close the door putting her foot against it. as she did. The key. The men amused elbowed their northern chivalry and would not force the door though they demanded admittance. The calmly shook her head. Finally the sheriff came, when she allowed him to enter, but kept lock the door. After, keeping the Negro in Apey's for about an hour and a half, he was spirited out of a side entrance and put in jail. Tonight the city has came out down and no further trouble occurred.

Near West Dells Use Cut Rate AIR SHOP SENSE AND TURNS STRONG DEFENSE OF THE COLORED REPUBLICAN TICKET OF VIRGINIA RICHMOND, N.Y. Oct. 19-The writer is grateful to his friend, the editor of the Journal and Guide for the space given for a statement of the views of one of the candidates upon the Colorado Republican ticket, but if the Editor of the Journal and Guide knew with what avidity his paper is bought and read in the City of Newport News when this question is under discussion, he would feel compensated for the space that he gave to it; besides nothing is of more interest to the American people, white men, who are more politically and particularly so when it is carried on without abuse and distrates and tends to inform the electorate as to the real situation. No Chance With Administration I shall again, therefore, preume upon my friend's generosity and goodness of heart in an attempt to point out some of the fallacies of his lengthy editorial under the caption, "Candidate Newsroom's Smoke Screen." I shall not discuss at length the reference made to my application for appointment as Assistant District Attorney, for it is only necessary for me to say that I never expected the appointment nor sought the enderence from the file whites, but I was accustomed to ask for that my recognition and how I saw that my minor office of honor, the Negro had no chance with the Harding Administration. Political Status of the Negro The Journal and Guide isvasive in the extreme when it speaks of my endorsement by the Lily Whites, because it knows that we sought this recognition in defiance of the Lily Whites and to force the President out of office. But the Negro Republicans in the Negro-Republicans of the South. The application for this appointment was made for no other purpose than to emphasize the fact that the time had come to have a ruling from Washington as to the politician and civil aristus of the Negro, even if it was the point of exposing the chief Executive of the doctal candidate, but a very defiant President, openly declaring that "sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish," he is determined that the Negroes shall "fall in behind white leadership" in Virginia and in the South, or drop out of the equation all together. representative antheming As to be call for a conference referred to in the book, it was signed by several citizens and myself. it was to be a district meeting held at Backee Beach, and had nothing to do with the larger conference which took place there August 7. This conference was well attended by representatives from many parts of the state and it would have been a much better policy to have an opportunity to meet with the people we were some illudivised remark, and in tolerance shown by those, in character nevertheless it was clear to all present that the overwhelming sentiment was in favor of a convention to nominate a ticket in Richmond on Labor Day. If the group is so small which "inspiration of the Life Black leader" as there anything to prevent Editor Foster from writing two Coloured men of emphasis in the whole State known to be approach to the movement imagined in Richmond from calling but the great mass of people not represented in this little group? This group had been hundred and ninety by the time he left for Rhode Island, can the Editor, Mr. Somerle museum as many citizens vote in the Democratic ticket, of the Lilly White ticket? It seems to this writer that a more discussion of individuals in a great fight like this is not worthy of the able Editor of the Journal and Guide, although the temptation is annually strong considering the weakness of his case against the Federal Republican Party, to distract attention from its purposes and to pose the same of the supposed ruthlessness of the candidates and temporary leaders. Need No Defence Why attack John Mitchell, Jr. for instance, for attending the National Rangers association now in session in Los Angeles? Mr. Mitchell in the only Negro delegate of that body and is chairman of one of the committees. Why then, should he be required for giving the page recognition in that specialty when its meeting was arraigned almost one year before Mr. Mitchell was nominated? But to extreme further defenses of Mr. Mitchell, one of the formal Negroes of the country, would be to insult the intelligence of a thinking elector. Lilly Rocks No More The Journal and Guide speaks of Mr. Puffin as "a very usable and trustable, which qualities are pretty much the same as those of Mr. I believe that of the Editor of the Journal and Guide will make a substantive debate of his own psychological fabric, he will discover that he possesses the same traits that are sometimes in evidence in both Chairman Puffin and the Editor involves in the present crisis. Now the Journal and Guide has promised to call us Lily Blacks no more but Colored Republicans, and so we shall have this great Journal at least dignify us by the proper apology. The Editor goes along pretty smoothly until he comes down to answering my questions. He says now, that the candidate for Attorney General is an able lawyer, but a poor politician. I know that he is not one of the best editorial writers known to me, regardless of color, but he is not only a poor politician but he goes exceedingly bad both in his mathematics and logic. Bad Mathematics and Logic Bad Mathematics and Logic Here is a sample: He says that these are 1500,000 white Virginia and 675,000 colored Colorado, when he goes on to say that the males can own a farm and that they will still have odds by a wide margin. Now how can my friend figure this? There is a maxim which says, things equal to the same things are equal to each other, and if anything is added to either of these equals, it will become greater than its co-equal by the addition of that thing. However insignificant it may be. So if the white people in Virginia should divide themselves equally in two parts and the Negro was so organized that he could deposit his votes with one of these equal divisions, how can the Editor of the Journal and Guide figure that in that seventh the Negro would not have any votes in the two white parties in Virginia, will the Editor please explain to his readers why, in such case, he should not hold to his own ideals and principles, since he can thereby preserve his self-request without doing anyone any harm just as by voting with one of the parties he can do no one any good. It seems to me that the Editor is covering up considerable thought in his articles and finding the rhetoric. The Editor has not answered any of the questions proposed in my last letter to wit—I shall we vote the Democratic ticket. 2. Shall we vote for the ticket named in Nortok in a hall from which Negroes were excluded? 3. Shall we vote for the Republican ticket named in Richmond, which excluded no man or woman on account of color? What shall we do? Racial Solidarity Best Course Hall of Honor I assume that racial solidarity is the first course to be pursued by the Negroes at this time in Virginia, and he argues we might as individuals vote the Democratic ticket, and by the same reason we might vote the Lily White ticket, and he even permits his readers to vote the Colored Republican ticket, provided J. R. Pollard, John Mitchell, Jr., J. Thomas Newsome, Dr. Scott, Dr. Capt Brown, Mr. Nash and of course Mrs. Brown, to vote political in thirty years. Before going further, I must pause to ask who has Editor Young accomplished during these years and what Dr. Somerlie in things political? But all of this is besides the question; for it has been impossible for the gentlemen named by the Journal and sluade or any other colored man in Virginia, to achieve anything political owing to the elimination of the Negro by constitutional amendments on the people by the Democratic Party, alled and abstorted by the very John Whites for whom we are now advised to vote by the Journal and Gubb and the Vigil. Personal attributes made Few of the men named by the Journal and Guide have been actively engaged in politics for years, and years, but there are among them who have placed their philanthropy among their fellowmen in appreciation among their fellowmen of isolation, property, and character equals in every respect of the candidates on the Lily White ticket. And I happen to know that the honor of making personal sacrifices by being nominated for office to which none will be elected came to most of the men and to Mr. Walker absolutely unnourished, and know that it would have been the pleasure of the five hundred and ninety-eight delegates that attended the convention in Richmond, where the distinguished Editor of the Journal and tinder for any office he might have desired to stand for had he not already made known through the public press and to be telegram that his business engagements and his doubts to the wisdom of nominating a full ticket prevented such a result. I wish to emphasize the fact that it will do no good in this discussion to attempt to belittle the men and women who have been placed upon the ticket and who are leading this movement nor is it just and fair, be impegna their motives. It has always been a hard decision to determine and have a hard decision to make. The St. Louis Argus Warns Pullman Porters Against The Conductors DENNER, Colb, Oct. 19.—With the unsettled condition of the country, and its efforts to return to normal, the murmurings of the labor world, and their organizations, or making strenuous efforts to retain their power and solidarity in the new order of adjustments. In their fantastic efforts to weld their power they are making a difference. In their efforts to further certify, ignored, the Xero With the history of the labor or organization from the beginning: "with out going into merits of same" it has always been their policy to bitterly present the Negroes' membership, and if on rare occasion, membership was gained by their unjust rulings and discriminatory measures, it was made than apparent that they did not intend to aid the organization of one of the many innumerable instances of their peridy and Judaism let your mind go back to past events, and forget not the out-come of some when the same propaganda was used a number of years ago to gain the Negro's strength to the ranks of the Waters' Union at prison, and the support of the loyalty union boothood. Their efforts were successful and they joined as a unit, and none were more loyal than they. The fight, though bitter, was shortly won, and immediately a fight by the union was immediately set forth, this time to eliminate their brother in order in entirely from eyre persecution he helped to gain that he has never regained his former position. It is then, rather significant, that at this important hour the Order of Sleeping car Conductors are making such suspicious overtures to a class of labor, the Pullman Porter, and still more strange of their absolute refusal in the past when conditions even far more than now of their refusal to affiliate in any way that would benefit him. Under such conditions, to the thinking class of this line of labor would it not be far better to remain a free, independent as far as amination goes, and not to be tied down by unjust and prejudicial organizations with the same intention clearly shown. In life, rebellion should be heaven, quoting Mr. Warfield, by the Order of Sleeping. Car Conductors, their propaganda sent forth teaching with lauded and subtle meanings insulting to us, was but thinly relied by seeing pity. The public has known Mr. McAdoo, has known like-minded instructors, the porter has absolutely known the course under which he, has labored for years, but Mr. Warfield in his seemingly sympathetic propaganda failed to state many salient facts in relation to porter work. That the incharge work of the Porter has been a feature of the Putham Company, for years, both North South with a resultant evidence of boon to the porter, and the patrons treated with that courtesy, that characterizes that class of colored employees, chaupers, butlers, etc., in the most intimate family life of the South. In justice to us, Mr. Warfield should let his future, public articles of seeing pity for us he would, the spirit of play fair and not filled with purposely made to cast discipell and suspicion upon us for the benefit of a children few. It is not my intent or desire to enter into and ethical question of the principle of labor organizations as applied to us. In theory their purposes read well but like the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. Amendments, in practice their tenets are sadly changed when applied to us. FIVE RULES FOR FURNITURE BUYING The Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill.

Cemetery Is Beautiful The Washington Park Cemetery which is reputed to be the most beautiful Negro burial grounds in the United States is located on a tract of land owned by her H. Lau, one of the members of the Louis County. The tract is about sixteen acres in size and of this eighteen acres has been subdivided into burial lots and part of the, remainder, a grove of twenty acres, is being used as a picnic grounds for church organizations, lodges and other similar bodies. The cemetery and recreation grounds are separated by a fence. The James Lang residence a two story building, one of the most beautiful in St. Louis County is being used as a seating house and office for the cemetery management. Prof. Frank L.

C. Oct. 12, 1921 — The Census Bureau reports that in the population of St. Louis, Mo., as enumerated in January, 1920, there were 11,624 persons 10 years of age or over) who were illiterate in the sense of being unable to write, including 2,333 native whites, 10,227 foreign-born whites, and 4,936 Negroes. The percentage of illiteracy in the total population 10 years of age and over is 2.1, which shows a decrease in the native white when it was 3.1. For the native white when it was 0.5, for the foreign-born whites 10.1, and for the Negro 8.2. That the younger generation in this city is less illiterate than the older, is indicated by the fact that while 5.0 per cent of the males and 3.7 per cent of the females 21 years of age and over are illiterate, the percentage of illiteracy in the population 16 to 20 years of age is but 0.5. Springfield, Missouri, Illiteracy WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 12. The Census Bureau reports that in the population of Springfield, Mo., as enumerated in January, 1920, there were 615 persons 10 years of age or over who were illiterate in the sense of being unable to write, including 2,333 native whites and 181 Negroes. The percentage of illiteracy in the total population 10 years of age and over is 1.9, which shows a decrease since 1910 when it was 2.4. For the native white the percentage is 1.4, for the foreign-born white, 3.2, and, for the Negro 13.2. That the younger generation in this city is less illiterate than the older Elevates Colored Race Speaking迟缓地 of the purposes of Washington Park interment and tombing the deceased white residents to the cemetery, Manager Muth said that the principal purpose of establishing the cemetery had been to assist in elevating the Negro race in St. Louis and to give them a decent and beautiful place to bury their dead. "We anticipated some objection on the part of some of the residents around there," said Muth, "but we thought we were doing a great public service in giving the St. Louis Negroes a decent cemetery. They have got to be able to see the beautiful cemetery will materially help in elevating the colored race. We have set aside at Washington Park special sections for the fallen heroes for the Knights of Pythias, for the Old Fellows, Masons and other fraternities; for the Baptists and the Methodists. The picnic or recreation grounds have nothing to do with the cemetery portion of the cemetery. They were established merely for the cemetery we had plenty of beautiful grounds, so that we could give the Negroes of St. Louis and vicinity a proper and respectable place for their outings and other gatherings. Everything is being conducted under the strictest supervision of those in charge of the association. We feel that we are providing two things badly needed: a modern cemetery and a modern recreation ground. We are separately operated, one in our way conflicting with the other. No charge is made for the use of the grove. The Washington Park enterprise is controlled by a holding company of prominent whites, citizens, including Circuit Attorney Sidener, Judge Matt G. Reynolds, Attorney Chase Morsey and others. HAYNES LOOKING AFTER INTERESTS OF NEGROES AT LABOR CONFERENCE The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, 19. C. Oct. 12. Dr. George E. Haynes, former director of Economics in the Department of Labor, accepted an invitation from President Harding to be a member of the Lake Charles Board of the President to work out a solution for the unemployment difficulties. The telegram from President Harding extending the invitation stated: "I am desirous of including your name in the conference on unemployment which opened in Washington on September 20. The object of the conference is to increase the distribution of unemployment to adduce upon emergency measures that can be properly taken by employers and local authorities and civic bodies and to consider such measures as would to give impulse to the recovery of business and commerce to normal would be glad to have your acceptance. WARREN G. HARDING" Dr. Haynes accepted by telegram and took, his seat in the Conference. He was assigned special work with the "Committee on Community Civic and Emergency Measures" in dealing with unemployment. Col Arthur Woods of York is chairman of this committee. Urban League Active In a statement to The Associated Negro Press, the National Urban League takes credit for the part it played in having racial representation. Says the statement: "Word has reached the office of National Urban League that following numerous conferences and considerable correspondents with President Eugene O. Smith and Edward E. Smith, Secretary of the Unemployment Conference, Negroes are being represented formally in the Conference. "Eugene Kinickie Jones, Executive secretary of the National Urban League, kept in constant communication with the authorities before the first list of conferences was announced and held interviews with two important members of the Conference as after the announcement showing that many Negroes made public. Many branches of the league also corresponded with the officials responsible for it. Dr. George Edmund Haynes, is representative, formally appointed to the conferring and Mr. Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation of the Department of Labor, is appearing at the memorial on the unemployment situation among Negroes. "On announcing the appointment, Mr. Hunt wrote to Mr. Jones in part as follows: "It is a pleasure to send you this fact that you will not feel that correspondence with us has been in vain."

Party Cannot Carry Election Without Negro Support. LOUISVILLE, Ky. Oct. 19. The Colored cohorts of the "Republican" machine—the micronation, the paid folks who think more of the "advertising" money and the $100 salaries they receive now than the future good of the country, glonging over what they call the small number of Colored people to register "Independent"—579. They may be delighted in their ignorance of what that portends but their bosses are not so sanguine. Their bosses, who are real politicians, know that if 579 Colored people registered "Independent" in the portraits with their chief speakers of the Lincoln Independent party and in the face of the fact that at every voting place the machine had five to ten workers who urged and pleaded with registrants to register "Republican" they know that the "Independent" registration is at least one-tenth of the "Independent" vote, with which they have intelligence and commissure and love in the majority of the people. He has always felt 10,000 Colored people would vote the "Independent" ticket as a rebuke to the Lily White "Republican" machine and because they could elect five Colored men to offer at the same time. Counting the number of speakers and distributors of Lincoln party literature. But in spite of all that 579 Colored—men and women have boldly registered "Independent" and it is not too much to say that 5,000 of the registered "Republicans" will vote this ticket—they have registered "Independent" because of their jobs competence and it is not too much to be harrassed from now until election. The object of the Lincoln Republican party is to reach the "Republican" machine a lesson that they cannot ship the Negro in the face with impunity and at election time square them in and get all their votes. This will be provided. There are dozens of workers who worked for the "Republicans" who will vote for the "Independent" ticket. Many persons have made excuses to Lincoln party people that they were for the movement but just had to make the money so are working for the "Republicans". A few weeks ago a certain man came to the News office and said, "I am out of work. Can the Lincoln party use me to make a difference in the way I am prepared so I can make a living." He was told that the Lincoln party could only pay a limited number of workers and then only a small salary. He just had to have work he could get it by going to "Republican" headquarters and knocking the Lincoln movement. "But" he said, "I do not want to do that. I am for the Lincoln movement. I am the best thing ever at the Republican for the Lincoln party. I am the Republicans. I am an Independent." This man was finally convinced the Lincoln people would understand and that if it was a case of "bread and butter" to take the "Republican" money for "working" and he could vote for the "Independent" ticket and "talk" for it just the same. He left and later it was said that this man was a publicans. "This incident is true and is encouraging proof that the registration is so proof of Lincoln party strength." The need of the Lincoln Independent party was never more forcibly shown than in the result of the registration. Look at the figure: 38,933 Republicans. 26,549 Colored Republicans. This gives the Colored vote 45 per cent of the Republic's strength. Without them the Republic would never carry an election. For this loyal support the Colored people get: Segregated in the public parks, segregated at the state fair, segregated at the Harding meeting, beaten by rough neck policemen, robbed and defeated when they ask for fice, women insulted by advertisement, for husky Negro women to sweep up, its introduction of "Immort" street, car bill by Republicans two months after election, no appointment to offices really worth money. And while a town of divers and "creative" and "booth" encouragement to the ignorant, vicious Negro to be lawless and criminal. These are the things Colored Louisville gets for supplying 45 per cent of the Republican vote and a Republican victory. The Lincoln party aims to change that. It aims to secure from whatever party that gets in power recognition and respect. A hard man or woman of intelligence can say that the Lincoln Independent movement is wrong or ought not to be supported. Remember this 25,033 Republican; total 25,549 Colored. What do you get for it?

SOUTHERN INTER-RACIAL COMMITTEES SUCCEEDING HAMPTON, Nb. Oct. 19. "When the colored people have such friends among the best white people in the South as the friends I saw and heard at the Atlanta meeting of the Commission on inter-racial Cooperation. It is no time for discouragement and it is against the Negro." said Dr. James E. Gregg principal of Hampton Institute, in a recent Sunday-sevening address in which he outlined the so-called "opposed meeting" of the Commission. Dr. Gregg referred to the Work which is being done by inter-racial with a view to eliminating the South friction and to "stopping trouble before it really gets started." Dr. Gregg said. "Dr. Axley Jones of Atlanta, who is one of the sons of General Lee's captain, said that, in laying down his position, that every man has a right to be held accountable by the Interfederal Commission has found opposition coming particularly from three sources: from the representatives of the "old federal structures of industrialism" and from the "organizations of insurance." American democracy, in the community, in the state and nation." Dr. Gregg declared that there is a tremendous body of ignorance through out the United States. "This is shown in the organized devilty of Ku-Kluxism." he said. "The Ku-Kluxism could not exist, except for ignorance and superstition and foolishness. People could not be led into such abominable folly as Ku-Kluxism, if it were not for ignorance." Says Center Of Education Has Shifted To Chicago CHICAGO by Arlene in the center of high learning in America, said Dr. Walter, Bill Scott, president of Northwestern University to the thousands who attended the festival play in Grant Park Stadium. Dr. Scott and Dr. Howard Agnew Johnson, president of the Chicago Church Federation, were the principal speakers on Sunday's program. The festival, which was held under auspices of the Chicago Association of Commerce, commemorated the great fire. Quoting from the 1920-21 report of the commissioner of education, Dr Scott told how the center of education has shifted from New England to this city. "For three centuries," he said. "New England has been regarded as the center of higher learning in America. During the last half century this center has shifted to the Hudson River. Ten years ago New York began to note that the transition was complete before it had matured, establish, her claim, the country again shifted and has become, securely established at the meeting point of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi valley." There are thirty-two institutions of higher learning in Chicago, compared to twenty nine in New York, twenty-one in Boston, and eleven in delphi. The Chicago group includes six universities or colleges, nine theological schools, eight law, eight medical and three dental schools. Professor Scott compared the groups in quality and attendance. "We have a common culture," he said, "in that certainly one of the very few superior institutions for instruction on art in America. More students are enrolled there than any other similar school in the United States."

On the big questions of the day: Tarif, Tuxation and Armament, the public has been asked to support information policy. On these questions, so far as popular sentiment is concerned, the President is on the popular side. His conclusions have met a ready response from people and press, and the Republican political machinery, the practical machinery, the practical side of the question, may be quoted as saying. With this we are all well pleased." In the matter of sub-divided interests, many in number, the President has not previously expressed himself sufficiently in a public way, to give the people a definite slant of his exact treat of thought, of the policies he intends to pursue, in working out the administration program. So Taf as we are concerned, the biggest by-subject affecting us is the subject of ourselves, and what the Administration proposes to do, in one way and another. This subject forms a perfectly natural interest and curiosity. We can answer our thoughts from ourselves in many things, but the vital matter of citizenship opportunities, personal and property protection, welfare and wellbeing, we wish to know the facts, and we have a right to know the facts. Mr. Harding became president with the best wishes and prayers of all colored Americans. With his inauguration, there was an unusual degree of hopeful anticipation. The fine public utterances of Mr. Harding the candidate, of Mr. Harding the newly inaugurated President, and of President Harding in his first address to the Congress, in his first force to the newly awakened nation. Then came the meeting of the Republican National Committee, in Washington; through appointment of certain men from the South, certain known tenders, and of Mrs. Ngwenya, the general meeting of Republicans in Virginia, in Georgia, and reports from various conferences of visiting delegations, and individuals to the White House; and the features of the faithful began to fall, they fell, they have fallen; The result follows, with magic like rapidity, whereas the Republican party and the new Administration were once praised, they are now cursed and damned, in no uncertain terms; and the trouble is not confined to any particular section. It is universal, there is no question about that. Justification of this unusual condition—certainly for Negroes a year before in general development—be judged by further developments. The Associated Negro Press, in behalf of the 12,000,000 people of the group, has sought to get at first hand information on the matter, of Administration policy, so far as we are concerned. It has sought that information at the top, and it has secured it, and the people shall know, and knowing, it is hoped, that in some way, somehow, the "truth shall make you free" the Hardship Administration is different! It can be compared with no evidence not even that, of Mr. Taft; it may rise or fall by its own record, which is now in the making. In the matter of legislation, directly affecting the group, there have been sample evidences of Administration sympathy and activity, although none of this has yet reached completion. But, in all fairness, it must be recognized that many of those affecting the masses and groups have reached completion. There is assurance that these measures will not be left to die. In the matter of political recognition, there is assurance that other appointments will follow the confirmation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, who is now certain to be Recorder of Deeds. There is assurance that Colored Americans, who take the Civil Service graduation, and properly qualify, will not be discriminated against because of color. This is step in advance of the war for more than eight years. Civil Services qualifications have been sizzling hot with prejudice. In the matter of Negro appointments in the South the conciliation has been definitely reached by the Administration, that irritation of conditions there will not be added to, by the appointment of Negroes to Federal positions South. Moreover, the President, and the Republican' organization, have decided that the Republican party in the South definitely and concretely be under white leadership. It is believed that white leadership of the South will Policies so unequal, and steps so radical, are certain to rebound with disappointment and great dissatisfaction, so far as Colored people are concerned. Already, the course of events has created a degree of despair among the Black people still alloy with legislation, appointments, or other means of persecution of faith. The result is the springing up of many independent movements of renewed efforts by the Socialists, and Committee of 4S, as well as by the Democrats of Northern states, to further their claim to be Republican desertion. It will be the job of the Republican National Committee, to show cause for not having Colored American citizens get in and 'handle' for themselves, — let the war, a suggestion in that respect, be recallled from no loss, an authority than President Harding himself, in his address at Lincoln University. The house divided against itself. There are those who believe that the troubles are to be fought out within the party, and there are those who believe they should get out entirely, before being kicked out in 'broken deserts'. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS. FRIDAY, OCT., 21, 1921 will be used to good purpose, and with unlimited resourceful thoughtfulness in playing the game for position and racial opportunity. The Republican Administration, under President Harding, has declared its position. The question is on, whether to bear these bills that we have, or fly to others that we know not—of Are you ready for the question? The Agricultural Negro Press THE ASSASSIN, blessing it would be if it could be. In some future age it may be. Now it will be—not quite dismament. And so far as that goes it will be so much relief. Does the citizen realizes that every time he pays one dollar to this government, eighty-eight cents of it goes is tribute or as a sacrifice to War? Every time our "billion dollar government" spends a billion, eight hundred and eighty millions of the sum go into the mouth of Mars. What, then, if we get rid of war and all its exactions? It may help us on the road toward the Golden Age of Peace. If we will but think over what would be our blessed state if only we could arrive. If the United States of America could be rid of its war, the following three things could be done and happen all at once: 1 The salaries and wages of all Federal officers and employees could be doubled, from the President on down to the janitor of the post office at Sloan, Alabama. All the tens and tens of thousands of government employees could get just twice as much pay. All the "institutes" and all twice as much officers twice as much graft. For every dollar that is now wasted, two dollars might be wasted, and mail thieves and other thieves might steal just twice as much and yet. 2 Taxes could be cut in half two. People who now pay a thousand dollar Federal tax, could pay only five hundred; and people who pay fifty dollars could pay twenty dues and yet. 3 The Federal Government would have more money than they could use or know what to do with. For every dollar they wasted and stolen, there be another dollar added to the burdens of the treasury department. And the most serious financial problem before the Congress would be what to do with the extra money. This extra money could give every child in the United States an education from the kindergarten through the university. And yet all this is not going to happen, not soon—for the fathers have been so selfish that they have burdened themselves with the costs of past wars, and we sons of our fathers, are so selfish that we burden ourselves and mortgage the life of our posterior by the threat of future wars. And yet, it is well to consider what might have been and what may yet be. The vision may gradually lead us on. A NAPOLEEN OF FINANCE Bc Associates, Norge Press A really big business man of the colored race in America is E. C. Brown of the firm of Brown & Stevens, bankers of Philadelphia, Pa. The superiority of the few is an inadvertible instinct. one cannot get away from. E. C. Brown went to Philadelphia ten years ago. At that time, with the exception of a few barrooms, restaurants and barbershops and a few undertakers the Colored people of Philadelphia had no business existence. With his astonishing courage, resourcefulness, superior brain and forethought, Mr. Brown has inspired the masses of his people quite as completely as he has the classes. He has achieved, he has been, the many age groups possess within them that driving power of the popular quality which proves to be an inspiration to the two groups at one and the same time. STRONG DEFENSE OF COLORED REPUBLICAN TICKET OF VIRGINIA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 zen can attribute base motives to others without concrete proof. Plea For Expedience I never can subscribe to the Editor's plea for expediency when a vital principle is involved. I quote from the Republican platform this doctrine, on which we base our hope for the suffrage of the Colored Electorate. "No mere expediency, however urgent the call for its exercise should be permitted to destroy the fundamental principles of the party." Finally, I will not take the time to comment upon the Editor's suggestion that we divide our vote between the Democratic Party and the Lily White so called Republican Party; for it is as impossible for a self-respecting Negro in Virginia to be a Democrat in principle as it is to be a Republican in this state except for office or revenue. Favor race The courant and Gailie chose, its解答 with the following question. We should like to ask him (J. Thomas Newcombs) if he is vapormen and sincerely in favor of the race voting as a unit in his future. My answer is that I am sincerely and unqualifiedly in favor of the Negro voting the Republican ticket as a unit this year and next year and continually as long as there is hope that the party may owe Daugherty, Daugherty, Daugherty, return, return tradition and landmark. And if it returns out that the party has finally departed from its fundamental principles then it is my desire and earnest prayer to God that the Negro may still maintain an organization as a unit and proclaim to all the world the lectures of political and civil equality of all men before the law irrespective of race, creed, color or religion. section. State aid is available for new schools on the same terms for both white and colored schools. The Southern Educational and Sociological Congress will be held, under the auspices of the Southern Cooperative League, at Chattanooga, Tenn., November 6th to 9th. The program takes up Education, Public Health, and Race Relations. An Educational and sociological exhibit will be an important feature of the convention. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the Phleps-Stokes Foundation has just returned with his committee of experts from year's study of the educational needs of the West Coast of Africa. This work was undertaken at the request of the various mission Boards of the United States, England, Belgium and France, and had the active cooperation of the governments of all these countries. As a result of the survey the governments and boards concerned will probably cooperate in common educational plans for this great region. South Carolina School Notes South Carolina has operated nine summer schools this summer for colored teachers, with an attendance of between 1,400 and 1,450. Twenty-four counties in South Carolina now have Jones superintortors. City schools are also being improved. Eleven colored schools have been accepted by the state Board of Education as high schools to receive state aid. In each case this action was recommended by the white district trustees. Ninety colored school principally and supervisors were sent this summer from South Carolina to the summer schools of Jampton and Tuskegee. Through their summer work for teachers these two schools are influencing Negro life all over the South. Both institutions are in close nth sympathetic touch with every state Department of Education in the Southern states and their thorough work (their inspiring ideals, their gospel of integration, their interracial good will are bearing fruit in hundreds of country communities. They stand for opportunity to the Negro to the full extent of his ability and are showing all over the South, that the Negro's development promotes the interests of both races. Women's Inter-Bacial Work WOMEN'S WORK The first black womenate conference of women to consider interracial relations was recently held in Little Rock. It was a representative gathering, and was characterized by the same esthetics as the Memphis conference last fall. Three colored women were present to speak by invitation, of the need for cooperation from white women for the protection of Negro women, children and homes. This cooperation the members of the conference will endeavor to secure in local communities through the women's church and other organizations which they represent. The Y. W. C. A held a very successful conference for colored workers this summer at Kings Mountain. N. C. under the direction of white and colored officers of the Association. The cities represented were Richmond, Montgomery, Tenn., Lynchburg, Ma.; Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Asheville, N. C.; Greenville, Charleston and Columbia, N. C.; C. and Atlanta and Augusta, Ga. Since the Y. W. C. A. organizes colored associations only in those cities where the white will be its co-ordinator. This will be among of inter-racial helpfulness is growing among the white women of the South. White and Colored Franders Stand Together When tobacco fell from fifty to seventy cents a pound several thousand growers launched a cooperative tobacco association, to include Virginia and the two Carolina's, for collective marketing of their product, after the plan of the very successful trucking associations of eastern Virginia. No marketing will be attempted in any state until at least fifty per cent of its growers are signed a five-year contract with the association. The Carolina's advancing rapidly to the standard, and Virginia, where organization has been considerably longer in progress, has already passed it, with more signers coming in every day. Collective marketing of the 1922 crop in that state is now assured. Success in such an undertaking is manifestly impossible with the Negro farmer left out; and the appeal has been made to growers of tobacco, irrespective of race. The same advantages are offered to all. The response of the collected farmers of Virginia shows their belief in the good faith of their white neighbors. A white tobacco grower writes: The, colored, tobacco growers of Virginia have helped to win a good economic victory for the farmers of our state. This is worth-white, interracial good-will and cooperation." Bethlehem House, Nashville; Teen, a community centre for colored people operated by women of the Southern Methodist Missionary Council, will be closed for a year, while its new building is being directed. The work has for years had the active cooperation of the family and students of Yanderbilt University and the colored university. Fisk, and its growth has made necessary a larger and permanent home. The two kindergarten, and the clubs will find temporary shelter this winter in neighboring boroughs which they minister. A fa- mion of the summer work, before the old building was abandoned, was a vacation Bible school which had a reco- rd attendance. The Woman's Auxiliary of the South- ern Depository, church held this summer three conferences for colored women. To the next September meet- ing, at Tuscaloosa, Ala., were add- ed conference at Cambrida, Va., and Atlanta, Ga. Courses in Bible study were given talks on community betwee- nt, apitation, care of children the sick, instruction in healing tries and in playgrounds.

LANE TABERNACLE Was there ever a more indignable minister of the Gospel in the Methodist or any other church than the Bishop Isaac Lance who preached to a burl audience at Lance Tubercular last Sundays morning? His church career emboldened with his dazzling triumphs which ever fell to the lot of a minister, has covered more than sixty (60) years, but he tolls on with the same enthusiasm, frequently he has stated that he wants to keep on preaching the gospel until the end. Neither is Bishop Lance, who has built, schools and churches galore, dependent upon his past work for a career in the church, that heard him last Sunday morning will admit that he is still a grinis in the pulpit nor will anyone agree with him when he says the younger ministers are more eloquent and can dig deeper into theology that he. As plight speaking as John the Baptist, and as well informed as St. Paul, he congratulated at the beginning of his sermon and holds it until the close. Counsel, was the only used Sunday morning. Bishop Lane spoke from the 19th verse of the 2nd chapter of Jeremiah. Great in Council and mighty in work; for three eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men. Negative every one accorded to him, and accruing a fruit of his doings. Rev. N. L. Smith advised those who thought they were getting old to look upon Bishop Lane and live. Dr. J. A. Braey, secretary of Education for the C. M. E. burch, was presented and addressed the congregation. Rev. N. L. Smith was returned to Lane Tarcheracle by the Annual Conference, and immediately begged to foot it to Rev. N. L. Smith's debt of $15,000 next year. He expects to accomplish the big job by the last of April. Rev. Smith sponsored plans for the paying of the first half of the debt which was $15,000 in a little over a year. The Epiphany League will have its first meeting at Hospital on Arsenal Street Sunday afternoon and administer to the disabled soldiers.

N. Eitches, pastor of St. John's Church Kansas City, pleaded a very interesting and powerful sermon last Sunday morning. His them was "A Divine Mission." Matt, 20:25, in the evening the pastor turned loose with his fateful sermon he used as a subject: "The Last Prophetic Message." He was gas and rods away in the chariset of God's love until every body present was full of fire. It was a wonderful sermon. S. R. Stanley, pastor; H. G. Witt, secretary.

GOLDEN TEXT—We are the beary in well doing; for in the season we shall reap if we faint not.-Gat. 6:3. REFERENCE MATRIAL—Rom. 18: REFERENCE MATERIAL - Rom. 18: 3-15, 12-15, II Tit. 19-21. 3-B. Hs-M. I Tm. I1:32-1 4-B. Hs-M. I Tm. I1:32-How Paul's Friends Shelved Their Love YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Paul Rayleys His Ministry 1. Paul's Visit to Greece and Milletus (20:1-6). Two incidents marked this trip: 1. The Jews laid wait for him (vv. 1-5). This plot obliged, him to retrace his steps through Macedonia instead of a more rapid sea voyage. 2. Fellowship the Disciples at Tross (vv. 5-16). He met with them around the table of the Lord and spake words of encouragement. While preaching he, Eutychus, in a deep sigh, called a widow, who was killed. Pahl, restored his life, thus giving to the disciples a sign of divine power which was greatly needed at that time. 11. Pau's Farewell to the Ephasian Elders (20:17-38). His object in this address is to impress upon them their responsibility. 1. Review of his three years' industry (vv. 18:21). (1) The spirit of ministry (vv. 10). He was humble, tender and faithful in spite of the many trials which befell him. (2) The faithfulness of his ministry (vv. 20, 21). He made known unicamem everything which was of profit, taught them both in public and in private. He neglected no class, Jews or Greeks. He was impartial in all his ministry. (3) The theme of his ministry (vv. 21). Repentance and faith. This is the prominent note in the message of true ministers today. 2. The present state of things (v. 22-27). Having reviewed his ministry, he now points out the present state of things. (1) His immediate purpose was to go to Jerusalem (v. 22-2). (2) Bonds and adoptions were lying across his path (v. 23). Despite these he went forward with undaunted courage. He knew that God was leading him, so he went forward. (3) His fixed purpose (v. 24). He was determined to complete his ministry at whatever cost—even giving up his life. (4) His consciousness of obligation discharged (v. 25-27). Knowing that they should see his face no more, he called them to record that he had not shunned to declare the whole counsel of God; therefore was free from the blood of all men. 3. His charge to the elders (vv. 28-35). (1) The ground of (vv. 28). The flock for which they must care was purchased by the precious blood of Jesus, and they had received their commission from the Lord. (2) The impending evils (vv. 29, 30). False teachers would arise from their own number. Grievous wolves would devour the flock. The most deadly foes of the church are those ministers and Sunday school teachers who are unfaithful to their trust. (3) Incentives to faithfulness (vv. 31-35). His own example of watching night and day for three years is held up before them; his unselfish service, laboring with his own hands night and day that he might be free from suspicion of selfishness. 111. Paul Tarrying Seven Days at Tyre (21:1-6). His point of destination was Jerusalem. He was pressing onward thither with all speed, but on account of the unloading of the ship he was obliged to wait at Tyre for seven days. During this delay he searched out the disciples who lived in that city. While here certain disciples敬叫 that Paul should not go to Jerusalem. The information which these disciples received by that the Spirit was doubtless the same as that given to Agnabus (vv. 10, 11). Agabus told exactly what the Spirit said, which sets right what the Tyrian disciples seemed to say. The same Spirit which showed to these disciples that suffering awitted Paul, revealed unto him the same suffering and sent him forward into it. IV. Paul Tarrying in Philip's House (vv. 7-14). Resuming their, journey, they paused briefly at Polemials to greet the bethren there, after which they went to Caesarea. Here they took up their abode with Philip, who had so successfully wrought in the early days of the church. V. Paul at Jerusalem (rv. 15-17). The brethren at Jerusalem gladly received them. Paul's lodging place was with an old disciple. Blessings of This Day. Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God sends them, and the evils bear patiently, and sweeply; for this day is ours; we are dead to yesterday, and are not born tomorrow—Jeremy Taylor. Near Him. We come, too near Him when we search into life connects. The sun and the fire say of themselves, Come not too near. How much more might none can attain unto—Bishop Hall.

Much interest was manifested by the women of the National Capital in the third-day institute and conference on social hygiene which was held in the Interior Department auditorium last week under the auspices of the District health department, the United States Public Health Service, the District Social Hygiene Society and the women's advisory council of the public health service. The institute was the result of the success of the institute on veneer disease control and social hygiene here last autumn, and is one number arranged for various, similar objects is to create a thorough understanding of the great problem to be faced and to focus the needs of the local community in promoting the interests of local leaders of such large national women's organizations as are residents of Washington.

HYDE FAVORS BONUS FOR EX-SERVICE MEN GOV. HYDE FAVORS BONUS FOR EX-SERVICE MEN Special Capital Agreement at the Stone Capital Corporation at Jefferson City, Mo. I have watched both branches of the legislation and I have with great pleasure paid close attention to our Hon. Gov. Arthur M. Hydre how strong he awaits for the ex-service man, since his term of office began. He has at all times showed a special disposition to give them his personal attention. He has been a strong advocate in favor of a bonus for the ex-service man and at the Extra Session he inserted in his special call for a bonus for the ex-service man, and now he has consented to call another special session to put the Sons' Bonus law into operation. Above all our governor has allowed the honorable American Legion to draw up the heddings he would show to the ex-service man of the State of Missouri that he is their friend. I am proud to say that the Honorable Arthur M. Hydra, in the past nine months, has advocated more laws for the benefit of the ex-service men of the State of Missouri than any governor in the United States has, any time. But it is a strange thing to me that in as much as our governor has done all of this for the ex-service men of Missouri that the Legion of the State does not extend to him, a vote of thanks for some of his kind hearted acts he has caused to be carried out for their betterment as a whole. I do not think that the governor should be censured for the appointment of Mr. Steinbeck, the retains of the Army, the discharges gave the distress cry for help when he was rescued and his life saved and when he came to himself and found out I served his life and lost his hat, he wanted to light me because I did not save his hat. I think the governor should be praised. HOWARD MAKES CHANGES WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10. During the past Summer there have been annual activities at The Howard University, to the pay of additions and improvements of physical character. The chair of the department in inaugurating with the creation of the new Shilton Bining Hall and Home Economics Building, during the past year plans for the building have been in process of preparation by the architects. Professor William A. Haze and Albert L. Cussell instructors in the Architectural Department of the University. When completed, the plans were submitted to the Secretary of the Interior and approved Bids for the construction of the building were opened on August 21, 1931, at the University. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, OCT., 21, 1921 ing persons: Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Traductor, Representing Howe to University, Chairman; Mr. W. B. Assistant Attorney; Mr. James F. Gilman, Representing the Board of Bills; Mr. William Ayers Clerk; Mr. Fred H. White, Clerk — Representing the Department of the Interior. This board opened the bids, the lowest of which were: General Contract for the building: The Consolidated Engineering Company of Baltimore, Maryland, $189,000; For steel construction; The Bethlehem Fabricators company, Bethlehem, Pa., $14,746,000; For plumbing and heating; The Federal Herting Company, Washington, D. C., $14,711,000; For construction of the Gram, Washington, D. C., $2,750,990; Total $201,631,000. After certain substitutions and eliminations of materials had been made by the architects 16 bring the total within the appropriation, the Board recommended he award of the several contracts to the above bidders, the recommendation having been approved by the Secretary of the Interior. The week of excavation has already begun the reinforced concrete foundations, the basement, and the building will be ready for occupancy about March 1, 1972. By an executive order of the President of the United States, all plans for public buildings, statues, parks, etc. within the District of Columbia, must be submitted for Judgment, to the Commission of Fire, Arts, a body composed of the following gentlemen: Mr. Charles Moore, Chairman; Mr. John Russell, Pane; Mr. James L. Gresham; Mr. James E. Fresser; Mr. Hewlett-Packard; Mr. William H. Stainton; Mr. Masonberry; Mr. John Russell Paper of New York, is one of the most distinguished architects of America, while Mr. Henry Buron, of New York, is the architect of the beautiful Lincoln Memorial now approaching completion in Washington. Recently Dr. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of the University and the architects of the building, Messrs.

The Commission has reported to the Secretary of the Interior their approval of the plans the first plans designed by Negro Architects to have been submitted to this high authority for official criticism. No approaching of the plans for the new Dining Hall and Home Entrances Building, Mr. Charles Moore Chairman of the Fine Arts Commission has written and motioned (Dunify Hall and Home Entrances Building) were approved by the Commission. The time now seems propitious for a general plan for the development of Howard University which is going to occupy a large and important area in the District of Columbia and the proper campus. The campus can hold way greatly in the attractiveness of the City. This fact can be readily seen when you consider that the University grounds join McMilton Park, which in turn joins the Sodbury Home grounds, owns the Sodbury Home grounds. The authorities of the University advocate of the commission of Fine Arts Authority, the committee to make such a plan. Next in importance are the improvements in and about Science Hall, consisting of a Sentinel concreted area two feet wide along the front and two sides of the building with retaining wall and stones嵌附 parapet walls and surrounding gneisses. This work has added greatly to the appearance of the building and cost about $3,000,000. Brass concreted also lies in the floor of the detached room from the chapel of a concrete walk leading to Science Hall intersecting, a similar walk from the Hall to the Administration Building. An important improvement has also been made in the Girl's Dormitory (Miner Hall) by the installation of a bath room on the third floor. Small rooms were installed in the first and second floors last year. Miner Hall has now on each of its up-to-date both "rooms" with tiled walls and floors, furnished with angle showers and other fixtures of the most approved sanitary type. They cost approximately $35,000.00 units. Clark Hall, eight showers, has been installed in the basement and other improvements of a sanitary nature costing about $35,000.00, not counting the elaborate sanitary improvements made during the Summer of 1920. The appearance and convenience of the Main Administration Building has been greatly enhanced by the installation of new electric lights in the halls and in every class room, and drinking fountains in the halls. Many minor improvements have been made including pairing and the laying out of large beds of granular plants, on the campus. The University Administration is being congratulated on all hands for the excellent appearance of both buildings and great the building of Fifth Park. W. Street and the Law School building at E9 Fifth Street, N. W. have also received considerable attention. The improvement which have been made add much to the comfort of the large number of students enrolled. Fifth Annual Convocation At Howard University WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 19, 1951.

NEW EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS OF INDIA HAMPTON, Va., Oct. 19 — In India we are looking to Hampton Institute to Tuskegee, and to Diera to teach us what kind of education we need, because we say we need badly something besides literary education, declared Prof. Charles D. Thompson of Ewing Christian College, Allahabad, India, in a recent address at Hampton Institute. "The students of India," said Professor Thompson, "are learning for a new kind of education. They are not satisfied with what they are getting. H. A.'s and M. A.'s in India—with the highest degree—go out and take posts as excise inspectors, positions which, in this country, would be filled by men who perhaps had not even finished high school. Lawyers who have gone on after that and gone to college would earn $10 a month. On the other hand, the big merchants and business men will not send their sons to colleges. Teachers in agriculture say, "our sons are made third-rate clerks and are taken away from us." VIRGINIA ISSUES CALL FOR NATIONAL MEETING VIRGINIA ISSUES CALL FOR NATIONAL MEETING Colored People Asked To Go To Washington, In November And Place Grievances Before Country The Associated Negro Press RICHMOND, N. W. Oct. 12 Virginia the mother of President's is setting the milestone of his spirit of independent political efforts. Their formation of an independent Republican party, and the nomination of an entire state ticket from governor down, has attracted widespread attention. It is stated by class political advocates that "Lily Bluths" in Virginia will result doubtless in two things: the defeat of the plans of the "Lily Bluth" candidate for governor, and the defeat of Bascom Shep for Congress, the only Republican member, in Virginia, and to be a "Lily Bluth" of the first water. Call for National Meet Attorney Joseph R Pollard, State Chairman of the "Lily Black" Republican party has issued a call to the people of the United States to meet in Washington, D.C. November 1. "to take such action as may be necessary to place our grievances before the country." The call as given officially to the Associated Negro Press says.

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY "You get a new and true line on a man when you elevate him to a position of great power. Some handle political power as though it were a private possession and, so handling it, go back quickly to private life. The great poets have sympathetized with the plain people. So have the early political leaders. It is the poetry of Bobbie Burns and the politics of Aile Lincoln which hold and endure."

NAL BA KNOCK-OUT Walker's Fa WILL MAKE THE TOES Walker, the Beautiful Star And And Dance Palace FREE EXCEPT SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS' has appointed as their official representatives. Called for the purpose of bringing about Disarmament and World Peace, and forced upon a reluctant and unsympathetic administration in response to popular sentiment, the conference is fast being transformed into a soild effort to further the intemational banking syndicate at the expense of our already overburdened taxpayers. How is this being accomplished? The situation is clear—the process is simple. The European nations owe American millions of dollars extracted from American taxpayers under stress of war, on which they have never paid one dollar either of interest, or principle. The English French, Belgian and Italian delegates frankly admit that they are seeking to utilize this occasion to obtain a release from their debts. Ralizing that the public discussion of this subject before the disarmament Conference would arouse a whirlwind of indignation, President Harding announces that he is opposed to any such course, but demands that Congress without delay specifically withdraw Secretary Mellon full power to privately settle these obligations upon any terms he may deem advisable. And Secretary Mellon has personally applauded before the Ways and Means Committee demanding immediate action. Collected with this demand comes a suggestion from the Banking group to which Secretary Mellon formerly belonged, and a concurrent conference held with the disarmament conference is in session to adjust the financial situation. Every angle of the situation bristles with desert and secret diplomacy—every indication points to a betrayal of the just demands of the American public who "paid until it hurt to assemble" and who are now in imminent danger of being told that the money they generously loaned to England, France and Italy, and Belgium in gael faith will never be returned, and that for years to come they will be taxed to make up for the losses of nations with so almost indefensible affronters are now seeking to repudiate. And it is proposed to bring this through a separate secret conference, under carte blanche authority, in which the American people will have no voice and of whose decision they will know nothing until too late. Anticipating precisely the situation which has since developed, and foreseeing the necessity of forestalling their decisions, President Harding suggested to President Harding a date of September 21 the desirability of ascertaining the wishes of the American people relative to submitting an ultimatum to the European delegates to the offer that we would neither cancel their indebtedness nor longer postpone the payment of the overdue interest theron-but that if they would collectively agree to disarm—either entirely or gradually—we would conform to such an agreement and would remit their debts in precisely the same ratio. President Harding upon investigation will find that the American people are disinclined to consider the adjustment of our Euro loan loans upon any terms whatever short of actual payment. It is even possible that our European friends will be constrained to answer such a ultimatum by dismissing any desire to escape one jotter-one little of their indebtedness. It could certainly be an agreeable evidence of their true sense of honor should they do so. But is it well for us to fully understand the question we will be called upon to answer, which is simply this: 'Shall we discuss Disarmament upon its own merits and insist upon European taxing their own people to pay them receipted bills for what they owe, and thus allow Europe to bleed the American taxpayer and pay their European debts with the American money so appropriated?'
