TAYLOR CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE IN SHOOTING OF H.B. GRAHAM JAP PROBLEM IS DELICATE PHASE OF THE CONFERENCE Tenseness Of The Silence Was Agony When Admiral Kato Arose To Express His Views On Proposals Of The United States. The Associated. Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 23. History in the making. There has been much of it lately. To read of it is a privilege; to see it passing into a grand reality is an opportunity not soon to be forgotten. "Washington is the capitol of the world." These words have been used everywhere; in big headlines. The great and most great, from all corners of the earth, are assembled to make this a better world, a "defect place in which to live," quoted a distinguished American. There are two to the picture; the sketches which is out on the stage with all the trimnings, glittering, pomp and formality required for the occasion; and then there is the happenings behind the scenes, the events under cover; these latter are the significant signs post of the times the marks of, real and fancied progress. "Unknown Soldier" There was the 'Unknown Soldier.' It was indeed impressive to observe the honor and respect accorded this unfortunate act of war's harms. From the time the former ship-of-dewey came up the Potomac narrows, until the body was committed to the earth 'ashes to ashes and dust to dust,' no creature of earth was ever given greater honor. We can only see the events of the day through our eyes. We must of necessity record the observations as they affect us as a people. Would that we were not necessary; would that we might accept the ideal, and look at "the passing show" from the 'strict neutral viewpoint of just a plain American. But while caring in the glories and ideals,omes are which a awakens from the tumult of splendor, and once we are face to face with stern realities. So then, this of the 'Unknown Soldier', except Dr. Emett J. Scott, who was selected to represent the Colored American group, as former Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, there was no other official recognition accorded the brassed Americas. The Capitol, every face was white, while a white man in a public function, the Special Man for recognition of the group among the pallbearers, this was denied. True there were many $ service men in line, marching with steady stride and manly dignity, but that very fact should emphasize the importance of larger official recognition on such an occasion. President, Harding marched beside General Pershing; the Marshal, Draft was formed; the Marshal, included with the Governor of the Supreme Court; Wordow Wilson, a former President role in an open carriage with Wilsin; Colored couchman and footman being their 'Garder of lover.' Disarmament Conference The opening of the World Conference on Limitation of Armament, followed the great events of Armistice Day, which occurred in a blaze of light by night, marvelous in magnitude and wonderful to look back. To book in on each a Conference, and endeavor to comprehend the magnitude and significance of it, brings one to the keen realization of the greatness of life, the dominating influence of man and the Omnipotence of God. There about a group of unlike men who are to influence the destiny of the world for centuries, and possibly for all time to comp. Again we were forced to see the situation from our keeppoint. "It looks like a world like the white races of the world tagging with darker races for murder. The beautiful and appurtenant address of welcome by President Harding, the bold and commanding practical address and suggestions of Secretary Hughes, these are well known events now.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People REPUBLICAN PARTY AWAKENED FROM A DELIGHTFUL DREAM Hope Of Lily Whites That "Solid South" Would Go Over. To Party Was Blasted When Virginia Went Democratic The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22. The political outlook is a mixture of uncertainties, with the Republican party, the party of power emerging from the throes of a huge awakening, a discovery of the fact that B pays to be just. There is absolutely no denying, according to high and authoritative information by The Associated Negro Press, that the recent jolt in the elections has been something like being awakened from a delightful dream by a sudden stop, the train, glue war by a sudden stop, the not decoupled to be wished, but after it may give you time to jump out before the burns up the wreck. One big Republican said to A. N. P. that it may help to dispel the indictment that the "Solid South" is going in a solid way to the G. O. P. The big jolt came in the "wailing of the beans" in Virginia. There, in the good old state of our farmers, Bassom Slemp, of Ninth Congressional District fame, and "lily white" authority, grew and predicted that the state of the F. P. V. would certainly go Republican, providing the "giggle" was eliminated as an issue, and appeal were made to the business sense of the citizens. Said individual, authorized and unthreatened, Rossetti and our dilit Virginia去Georgeia by a big plurality, above 60,000, but open the "bostrich" of the "Honorable Bassom, ordinarily Republican, turned up in the Democratic column. Said gentleman, and Congressman, now has the shivers, for he "unmeth up" next November for re-election, and the good folks say they will inside the jolt then. In the meantime, in New York, Indiana, Kentucky and New Jersey, there have been such a Democratic troop that the folks now, in the big plains, are speaking in no uncertain terms about cutting out "familliousness" and getting down a proclamationless MP. The state's governor, John Kasich, Take the sixth District of Iquita, for a concrete example: It is the district of Senator James E. Watson, and in the state where Senators New is to come up for re-election, and the district of Congressman Richard Elliott. Of the six large cities in the district, five went Democrat: Richmond, the home of C. R. Richardson, went Democrat, and Richardson, who managed the Colored Republican association in 1920, helped to form the frick. Richardson declares he did it, because the Republicans have broken faith with the people, while the party leaders say that Richardson broke the faith with them. Incidentally, Richardson had been promised a placeistration, but it never got over. "not later than July," in the Admin. the machinery of the party has been set to work in dead otrime to prove "uncertainty of purpose."

BOY IS DRAGGED THROUGH STREETS ALIVE AND BURNED Mob In Helena, Ark., Has Gala Time Torturing 19 Year Old Colored Lad. Men Fire At Bloody Mass At It Bounds Along Street Spotted To The Argus HELENA, Ark. Nov. 23. - William Turner, 81 years old, was lynched and killed by a gunman the streets of Hebena after a fight in the second molt and burned here Friday, Nov. 18. August Turner, a life time resident of Hebena and father of the murdered boy, is reported, feared to take the responsibility of removing the charred remains of his son's body which was left by the molt on one of the streets of the city after the white men, women and children had enjoyed a night's holiday, at first watching the antics of the first molt which tied the living youth to the rear of an automobile and drove at furious speed up and down the streets while other members of the molt from its side walk took it over. The white boys and men had sufficiently tried their marksmanship shooting at the bloody mass of pulped flesh, another molt took the body and had a gorious time by building a large bonfire around it. This furnished amusement to the white population for several more hours. A great time is reported to have bawn by almost the entire Hebena and Negres were allowed to exercise the victim. The boy who furnished the entertainment was reported to have attempted an outrage on the spoon of a white woman employed by a telephone company. WIDOW OF VICTIM OF LYNCHING BY A MOB GETS $2000 DAMAGES South Carolina Court, Allows Amount To Wife Of Joe Stewart, Murdered At Laureens, April 1920 From the New York World. The award of £2000 damages made by a South Carolina court to the widow of a victim of mob violence establishes an interesting precedent. In April 1920 Joe Stewart, a Negro was moved from jail at Laurens, S. C. and banged. Suit for this amount under the cosponsional] requires menus was brought by the widow in the Common Pleas Coffy, and the Presiding Justice directed the jury to return a verdict against the county for the full sum. The damages fall considerably below the valuation at which a human life is held in some other states, but the point is that they are assessed against the county authorities for failure to protect a prisoner from the mash. If it is going to be a lynch in South Carolina, it is conceivable that the prize may prove a deterrent to truches. If may be indeed, that the prevented will materially affect lynch law in the South and elsewhere by impressing public officials, with a keeper sense of their responsibilities. Perhaps there will be less negligence in preventing mob attacks on jails if the county has to pay for them, and pecuniary considerations may work a reform which moral sinus has failed to accomplish.

TOO MUCH WHISKEY, CAUSE OF FREQUENT TROUBLE Representative Of The Argus Gathers Facts Leading To Tragic Death Of Wealthy Paper Dealer Whose Checkered Career Has Attracted Public Attention. Wife Of Young Chauffeur Tells How She Was Abused And Cursed Before She And Her Husband Decided To Leave The Graham Home. CLIFFORD TAYLOR SURRENDERS TO SHERIFF AT CLAYTON, SAYING HE SHOT IN SELF DEFENSE Mrs. H. B. Graham Commits Suicide While Mourners Are Around Body Of Husband. Remorse Of Conscience Believed To Be The Cause As A Climax To The Last Chapter Of Graham Eccentricities. Following the statement in the daily papers of the fatal wounding of H. K. Graham, wealthy director of the Graham Paper Company, by Clifford Taylor, his chauffeur, the Argus immediately sent a representative to the scene that facts in the case might be given. This being an unusual case, where a colored man would assault his employer, the general public was interested in the circumstances which caused Clifford Taylor to shoot his employer were more than she would be willing to face, in view of the fact that she was cut off from participating in her husband's estate. Graham's Fourth Marriage Graham, had been married four times. His first wife died, and he was divorced from his second wife, Mrs. Zulah Beatrice Graham, in May, 1912. A month later he married Miss Alice Bowerman of Springfield, IL, at Ullen, N. Y. They were divorced in 1918. In the same year Mrs. Vera Eliza- After making two trips to Clayton where Taylor is confined in jail, an interview with him was denied by the sheriff. In the meanwhile the reporter had gotten in touch with Tay's wife and his mother, Mae Walsh. Statement of the Case According to statements by Taylor's wife, who was the only eye witness of the fatal shooting, her husband acted in self-defense. She stated however, that she had no statement for publication with reference to the actual shooting. She told of the circumstances leading to Graham's death. On Sunday, Mrs. Taylor said, "It was my day and Monday morning my return to the kitchen. I found everything up and badly disarranged, which required a deal of my time to straighten out and clean up. When Mr. Graham came into the pantry for his morning "drink" (meaning whiskey) he called his attention to conditions of things" whereupon she says, her employer became very abusive toward her. After a drink or two, he left the kitchen, but returned in a few minutes, and on this occasion he abused her again. This, she says, was more than she could stand, so she told her husband and they decided that the best thing for them to do was to leave the Graham home. After parking their things, which were on the third floor, they both came down stairs and Taylor went in to see Mr. Graham for their money, telling him they had decided to leave his employ. It was while Taylor was asking for money that the shooting occurred. Mr. Taylor upon the advice of her attorney, refused to tell just what was said or done that caused the shooting. But it is understood that Graham attacked Taylor and that he (Graham) had his gun in his hand at the time he was shot by Taylor. Surrenders To Sheriff Following the shooting, Taylor left the house by the front door, followed by his wife. He went directly to Clayton and gave himself up, stating that he had shot his employer. H. B. Graham in self-defense, Taylor did not know at the time that the shooting was fatal, nor did he know where the gun had taken effect. Mr. Taylor knew she was ever arrested in the case. Had Left Many Times Mrs. Wallace said that her son, who is only 21 years old, had worked for Mr. Graham at intervals for the past three years, but had left many times when Graham was on a drunken spree, when no one could go along with him. When Taylor was married last May, he obtained employment at Saratoga Wyoming, but was induced by Graham to return to Missouri and reenter his employ. His employer employees always got along well together when the foyer was not drunk. There was no unity between them, and on the day of the fatal shooting Taylor did not appear angry, just saying "the foyer is on one of his screens."

Graham's Fourth Marriage Graham, had been married four times. His first wife died and, he was divorced from his second wife, Mrs. Zulah Beatrice Graham, in May, 1912. A month later he married Miss Alice Bowerman of Springfield, IL, at Uline, N. Y. They were divorced in 1916. In the same year Mrs. Vera Elizabeth Bowerman of Springfield, IL, at Uline, N. Y. They were divorced in 1916. Shortly afterwards she received a telegram from Graham informing her that he had married her younger sister, Miss Georgina, M. Shore, at Algonac, Michigan. The former Mrs. Snowden then sued Graham for breach of promise and obtained $400.00 in settlement of the $400.000 estate of the $2000.000. In May, 1916, a trusteeship of Graham's $300000 estate was formed when it was found he had died of $200000. Graham agreeing to take an allowance of $500 monthly. The deceased paper man figured prominently in the news of a few years ago as a man who, at one of the popular Southern resorts, dressed in pink skirts, white knee breeches, indies sips rum, a beafteened, coquettish looking hat. Triled to Break Trusteeship In 1917, apparently with a view to his wife's interest, Graham sued to have the trusteeship set aside, and a new and more limited trusteeship established. Because of the irreovocable character of the trusteeship, the only ground on which he could make such a claim of incapacity, and he representing that time the trusteeship was established, the couple of understanding its terms. This incapacity, he said, was the result of excessive drinking. 100. Drinks A Day In support of the claim of his incapacity, Graham testified that he took 100 drinks a day and that his liquor bills were $450 a month. It was his custom, at the time the trusteeship was created, he said, to take 10 to 15 drinks before breakfast and then eat no breakfast. Through the day he took a drink after each cigarette and he smoked a great many cigarette. One of businesses for Graham in the suit was W. H. Denken, his staterndaw and his present friend, who testified that Graham was drunk he signed the trust agreement and that the agreement was made in preparation for her expected marriage to Graham. Her understanding of the agreement, she said, was that it made provision for a wife's dower rights, and that it could be abrogated at any time. The suit was decided adversely to Graham on the ground that his drinking did not impair his mental capacity sufficiently to invalidate his legal acts. An appeal was taken to the supreme Court, but Graham failed to break the trusteeship. BEAUTY CULTURISTS ORGANIZE IN ST.

THANKSGIVING SERVICE The Women's Home Ministry Society will hold their Thanksgiving service Sunday, Nov. 17 at 11 a.m. Church at 9 p.m. A special program will be held on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 11 a.m. Mrs. M. A. Manganus president; Mrs. L. C. Manganus president; Mrs. "Music Night," given by the Barriers Band at the Colloquium Monday evening, Nov. 21, was attended by a large and appreciative audience of the music-loving public. The wonders permeate the room, the new members of training of the new band, a lot of admiring comment from those who attended the musical Prof. James H. Harris' orchestra of his boy and girl pupils very pleasantly surprised that part of the audience which expect theatrical rendition of practice music. "Sounds of Liberty" and "Souvenir de France," two original compositions by Mr. Blue were appreciated as well for their technical perfection as new themes of unusual merit, as for their depiction in music form of episodes in ourracial life the spirit of which, suitably expressed by "Soumita de France," is a pompous, slow march, portraying the period before, and immediately after slavery. It thrillingly portrays the deep toned hope of the slave, entering the strong emotional action of the realization of emancipation, the bewildered condition surrounding the great new possession of freedom, and ends with the joyous wind-chants of the power of freedom. The dream of a Souvenir de France which was written by Mr. Blue while doing duty on the western front in France with the 350 Field Artillery. A difficult clarinet solo by Mr. William Blue Jr., "Air Varie" by Strong was excellent. It is a spectacle of the type of music which new bands do not usually attempt and, as a rule, when young musicians attempt this type of music terrible things happen to him. Mr. Blue, Jr., however proved himself technically and emotionally capable of interpreting the inconsistencies of a young French musical air which blows cold, rising, falling, swaying through a bod of emotional unrest until the final resting, soothing, last notes which hold the memory long after they are done. Mrs. Zedel CqbEvans rendered an Arla from "Le Prophete" which caused the thought to come to the critic's mind that here indeed is God's gift to Colored folk. The soul of a race sounded in her voice and one of the classes that never grew old was rendered by her in a manner to cause one to feel that this voice too great for the gift of songs belongs to us. All. The specially trained direction of Mr. Antonio Haskell shouts the effects of careful training and excellent voices. Mr. Haskell also personally rented a bartone solo, "Sincerely You Went Away," which received an encore. An overture played by four persons on plains under his direction was well received. Speets numbers by the Shrine Band a chapel, "Columbia," and a serenade "Souvenir de Français" based on the excellent (onal training of the new organization). The serenade was composed by Mr. Blue as a compliment to the French nation. Wm. H. Butler was master of ceremonies. Mayor Henry W. Kiel reached the Coliseum just before, the entrance of the band. He was later introduced by I. H. Bradbury. In a short speech, the mayor landed the musical efforts of our group, and expressed the hope that the Armament Conference would bring peace so more money could be spent on education, music and recreation, the health and happiness of the people. Every member on the program deserves the contribution of the community for having contributed in a large way to an evening's exposition of the musical possibilities of colored St. Louis. MT.

ADMISSION 11c DANCING FRED—Except SAT., SUNDAYS, HOLIDAYS 500 RENTERS During the last 10 years some 500 families of people have built or bought their homes in South Kimbok Park near Forguson, Missouri, and are now living in them. They have had more to eat, more fresh vegetables, more poultry, more eggs, more fresh meat, more employment, better sleep and better health with fewer deaths than any 500 reporter families of the same station in life in the city. They came kitchen empty handed. Some of them were so fully occupied—others have them partly paid for, and others are just starting. The money they have saved and put into these homes will vary from $200 to $000 each. Perhaps the average amount saved by each of these 500 families will be $600. 500 times $900 is $500,000—thus the owners actually saved $300,000 during the time they have been in Kimbok. What have the renters saved? They have probably paid their rent 12 times each year, and among the 500, they have 60,000 little pieces of paper—receipts, worth nothing. They have paid their rent them an average $10,000 each; 60,000 times $10.00 is $600,000—thus the renters have spent and lost $000,000 while the owners saved $300,000. Choose you this day whom ye will serve—yourself or a landlord. The Olive Street Terrace Realty Company,* a strong reliable company worth $4,000,000 in visible assets has sold 300 lots in this most prosperous subdivision, and is offering 300 to 400 more on very easy terms.

LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS. In his speech accepting the president, the Hon. John C. Tobin had a great interest to the colored one things he said have been watched best. Particularly his reference to our children. Despite this declaration of the president Tobin, the real need is that we are informed that there is a high School. We do not know how this condition ought to be the bond issue, we know it is so. The colored people of the city would correct so that, seventh and ninth and not have to go entirely across at this instruction at John Marshall's school should be taught in the district to make another Harris Teacher or turn it into other equally important schools can get the very best job to work. We believe Mr. Tobin has voiced the opinion of the Board in his advocacy of cities. In this connection we stand for a real Junior High School centrication of Sumner, or better still, located. It is an unquestioned fact that the children-to-have to ride entirely in High School training. The colored population has increased years, and this has aggravated the needs attention badly. No two men as attendance officers, can give; no two men can look after them in a colored population of 69,603—some have not the advantage; yet the State compulsory education elimination of truance and not a problem is much more difficult among for a number of reasons. That and because it is one of the crying men, yet we can't call the Board in matters affecting the colored to doing we shall have rendered them the children and patrons of our group. We have more teachers, and others' College, more Attendance Office in every district school and with school buildings, as one hundred per cent in over crowded schools, saying in health, then, we will approach them as should occupy. O ARE DRIFTING? When we think of the results of the colored electorate played in a wide change in the Negro's politics it is charged by some that the Negroian party. The truth of such claimed by the facts in the case. The first beginning to wake-up to the reality of today, is not the party as men like Lincoln, Grant and Roose the Republican party because of a up, and none down; a principle and equal; a principle that is equal protection of the law. The present one hundred percent American rose principles heart and soul, and that the only one hundred per cent Raleigh leaders have left have carried the name with these colors, and that is why many of the Race have refused to follow. Those among us who are independent party leaders adhering to the Raleigh refused to do. But have the South. This, of course, is like failure, so far as the Negro is concerned the Republican party might as well never by the consent of his real leader Lily Whites of the South. MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. THE ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS In his speech accepting the presidency of the Board of Education, the Hon. John C. Tobin had some things to say which were of great interest to the colored people of the city. Some of the things he said have been watched by us with a deal of interest. Particularly his reference to better school facilities for our children. Despite this-declaration of the present needs as expressed by President Tobin, the real need is action by the Board. We are informed that there is a shortage of teachers even in our High School. We do not know the reason for this, but we do know this condition ought to be speedily corrected and since the bond issue, we know it is not due to a shortage of funds. The cologed people of the city would like to have the condition corrected so that, seventh and eighth grade students would not have to go entirely across the city and pay car fare to get this instructon at John Marshall school. They believe these grades should be taught in the district schools, and it might be possible to make another Harris Teachers College out of John Marshall or turn it into other equally as serviceable use, where our teachers can get the very best supplementary training for their work. We believe Mr. Tobin has voiced the sentiment of the majority of the Board in his advocacy of additional High School facilities. In this connection we stand committed to the policy of either a real Junior High School centrally located to relieve the congestion of Sumner, or better still another. High School centrally located. It is an unquestioned hardship for the majority of the children-to have to ride entirely across the city to get all their High School-training. The colored population has increased 58 per cent, in the last 10 years, and this has aggravated the attendance situation. This also needs attention badly. No two men, or super men however efficient as attendance officers, can give this work the attention it needs; no two men can look after the needs of the school children in a colored population of 69,603—a population the majority of whom have not had the advantage of school facilities themselves; yet the State compulsory educational law contemplates the elimination of truance and not a percentage attendance. This problem is much more difficult among the colored people than others for a number of reasons. That it should be speedily corrected because it is one of the crying needs, goes without saying. While we St. Louisans boast of our schools and its great system, yet we can't but call the Board's attention to their weakness in matters affecting the colored children, believing that by so doing we shall have rendered the Board a service as well as the children and patrons of our group. Let us have more teachers, another. High School, a real Teachers' College, more Attendance Officers, a seventh and eighth grade in every district school and with a little additional space in school buildings, as one hundred per cent efficiency cannot be had in over crowded schools, saying nothing about the menace to health, then, we will approach the status a city the size St. Louis should occupy. When we think of the results of the recent election, and the part the colored electorate played in said election, we can't but see a wide change in the Negro's political status in America. It is charged by some that the Negro is drifting from the Republican party. The truth of such a statement must be determined by the facts in the case. The facts are: The Negro is just beginning to wake-up to the realization that the Republican party of today, is not the party as founded by the forefathers; men like Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt. The Negro has clung to the Republican party because of a principle: a principle of all men up; and, none down; a principle that all men are created free and equal; a principle that the government owes to every one equal protection of the law. These are the principles that represent one-hundred percent American. The Negro believes in those principles heart and soul, and thus we claim for ourselves to be the only one-hundred per cent Republicans in the party. The present-day leaders have left the principles of the party, and have carried the name with them. They are sailing under false colors, and that is why many of the thinking men and women of the Race have refused to follow. Those among us who are independent, have insisted upon the party leaders athering to the Republican principles. This they have refused to do. But have turned to the Lily Whites of the South. This, of course, is like faunting the red flag in a bull's mane so far as the Nerro is concerned. The Republican party might as well know now, that the Negro will never by the consent of his real leaders, even dilly daily with the Lily Whites of the South.

They usually select some well known person and inform the undertaker that Mr. So and So is dead, to come at once and take charge, of the body. Sometimes as many as four or five different people, upon arrival find that all of whom, upon arrival find no such person has died. Perhaps if the joker knew this is a crime and punishable by law, the nefarious practice would cause. On several occasions, such culprits as these have been caught and sent to prison.

Urges Them To Cultivate Friendly Relations With European Nations. Special. To The Argus O'HANNESBURG, Transv. Oct. 18. Bishop W. T. Vernon, A. M. D. D. Dr. D. head of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is visiting Johan Neesburg; and his visit has occasioned considerable interest amongst the native congregations on the Reef. Bishop Vernon has recently come to South Africa, and the African Methodist Episcopal Church, over which he presides, is the largest stricty native church operating in South Africa. He has had either an unique history in that he has occupied the highest position in the United States Government Under President Rosser, and again under President Hill, he held the post of Registrar of the Treasury, with great credit to himself and his race. He has been well received by the native church of which he is the head. He is reported to be a man of broad vision, and believes wholeheartly in cooperation with the white people as the salvation of the black. An address which he gave last night to a gathering of educated natives was naturally enough listened to with great attention. In the course of his remarks the Bishop said the American Negro had never ceased to think of Africa, his annealed home, and the African his brother. The land of America, where he was once a slave, has also become him the land of opportunity for highest possible development, because hands-on work on the land and certain elements, there had always been a group that stood for the rights of man. Those had always insisted that as human beings, one of God's creation the Negro should have the right to do and be his best. In return he had given the Government loyalty in peace and in war. Shouldering the Burden In every crisis in the history of the fought as a soldier. In the revoltion American Republic the Negro had the honorary war in which American gained her independence as a nation in the war of 1812, the war with Mexico, the great Civil War from 1831-1835 in which he helped to gain his freedom, in the Spanish American War, and in all in the recent World War in which four hundred thousand American Negro troops fought on the battlefields of France. This black American battle and demonstrated that his color proved his bravery in the shock of had nothing to do with his deposition or his patriotic zeal for the cause of freedom throughout the world. In peace he had given the same reality to America. By society, frugality, upright living and all that went to make a worthy citizen or subject he had become a valued and valuable factor in the life of the nation. Eagerness for Education farms and had amassed billions of. Today he paid taxes on our million pounds in reality holding banks, business houses, colleges and universities, which he operated and controlled. His eagerness to educate his children had meant that hundreds were in daily attendance in public schools and were purging the course of study leading to degrees from the best universities in the land. There is ever the dominant thought in the mind of the American citizen, regardless of color, that money spent for schools, churches and helpful institutions was a better treatment than money spent for criminals and for criminals. The best methods of securing harms between the races were eagerly sought after by every patriotic citizen. The American Negro was a then-demeanor of this spirit, and was determined to rise to the highest of a Negro. He preferred to demonstrate his racist work in a manner definite and distinct. He strove for the solidarity of his race. He did not seek to be a white man. He was not ashamed of his race.

THE BRITISH PRESS IS PLAYING UP LYNCHINGS IN THE UNITED STATES Americans Are Looked Upon As A Barbarous People, Says Walter F. White. The Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill. Nov. 16—Walter F. White, of the N. A. A. C. P. and who represented the Associated Negro Press at the Pan-African Congress, was a visitor in Chicago last week. Mr. White came to address a mass meeting in interest of the Association at the Wendell Phillips High School. He is doing much to focus the attention of the people upon the work which the association is doing and made a splendid impression. Mr. White said: "The Negro was almost as much a slave as the white as he is in America. The race problem is no longer an American problem, but a world problem. "The effect of lynchings of American Negroes has been one of horror on the rest of the civilized world: It has injured the esteem in which the American government is held by the peoples of European nations and has directly or indirectly bred a race hatred among them, who see that is said to be responsible for "Frequent and wanton murder" of Colored people in South Africa. "A delegate from South Africa reported in the Congress that the murder of South African Colored people is becoming a common thing. I am convinced that the race hatred responsible is due to lynchings in the United States to the fact that our federal government to wipe them off and to the wide publicity given the "lynchings" in foreign newspapers. "The British Press, I was astonished to learn, is 'playing up' lynchings, whether from a deliberate desire, to inflame the people of Great Britain I cannot say Englishman after Englishman salad to me, 'yours must be a barbarous country, and your people a barbarous people, for 'none but barbarous government, and a barbarous people would permit unpunished the burning at the stake of human beings, no matter what their color.' The Pan-African Congress, Mr White said, will consolidate the forces working for the betterment of the Colored race by the establishment of contact between world leaders to the end that there may be a solution of the Negro problem on economic principles and international bureaucracy, has been authorized and arranged, and made for a special division of the bureau of labor, league of nations, to make a world inquiries into conditions surrounding Colored labor and eventually, prevent its exploitation. CATTS AWAITING TRIAL (By The Associated Negro Prensa) PENSACTLA, Fla., Nov. 16. Many important cases were on docket of the United States court when the fall session began to begin. The case of Siliprey J. Cattis, formerly gobleted at the last term of court in connection with a charge of alleged pennage, hires the list. Mr. Cattis is in the city unwaiting the call of the case. The federal grand jury was organized last Monday and Judge Shepherd, in his charge referred to the practices of bands of men who adopt disguises in many cases of lawlessness and touched on the subject of mobism. or unvillified man is brought in touch with 'christ' is started in the highway of education, and all the resultant benefits of these factors, our work is incomplete.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, NOV. 25, 1921 This in the request the Tuberculosis Society of Saint Louis is making of every man, woman and child in the City and County this year. Ten million Christmas Seals have been congratulated to St Louis by the National Tuberculosis Association to be sold within this community to finance the fight against tuberculosis here. The money received will be used here, the officers of the Tuberculosis Society announce, and if all the soils are taken to take care of its present program of education, prevention and relief in a broader way and with more far reaching results. The Society obtains support for the work it does from three sources, the annual sale of Christmas souls, the annual Ball Gift and voluntary subscriptions. Of those the largest and most important is the sale of Christmas souls. Therefore the result of the Christmas Sale soul determines the program of health work and disease prevention which the Society can do. Through the sale of souls last year the Society was enabled to save lives and women and women becoming chronic illies by treating them at the Nice and Day Camp and to help these girls to greater efficiency and larger earning capacity through the classes in educational therapy conducted there. The pennies accruing from the sale of Christmas eggs in 1920 placed in employment suitable to their strength many ordeal cases of Tuberculosis, discovered many dispossessed cases through clinics and gave them treatment in time to arrest the disease provided three meals a day, six days a week for a large number of patients, bringing them back to health and strength; made it possible for 125 little girls, weak and piny to grow strong and healthy by a six months School; sent letters to every family having a case of scarlet fever, whipper cough, measles, diphtheria of influenza, informing them of diseases were not given proper care; sent letters to the morgues of every new born baby in St Louis advising on the care of the Louis to prescribe tuberculosis infection in its infancy; placed children in schools; provided special diet to laidriders, consumited health habits among 10,000 children; furried special diet to laidriders, consumited health habits among 10,000 children; industrial established talks and health leaflets how favoured tuberculosis; assisted in conducting a health survey in the Wilson schools which will result in eliminating many bad health conditions in homes there paid the salaries of three nurses; paid the salaries of the City was unable to pay them thus continuing the Some treatment of nearly 400 cases of tuberculosis; paid the salary of a dentist at Koel hospital so patients there who are not to come to town, might get new dental treatment; to help forward their recovery; conducted health talks in seven languages to groups of non-English speaking residents in the city conducted a compassion health education campaign through daily, weekly and monthly papers in St Louis in both English and foreign languages inaugurated a campaign of education every Citizen a sense of individual and neighborhood responsibility for the health of the community, and through letters, bulletins, exhibits, shows the public how to prevent tuberculosis. Those busy little swabs 10,000,000 strong this year will invade St Louis' on Thanksgiving Day. Their purpose will be to drive out disease and death and to make St Louis the city of the tuberculosis Society now stands to continue this program in a broader way with this purpose of bringing down the death rate from tuberculosis still lower this year. The death rate last year was 154 in St. Louis as against 1,000 the previous year. If a corresponding falling off can be represented for the coming year, the City of St Louis will be able to battle for the elimination of the terrible source of Tuberculosis. The Christmas Seals will sell, as formerly, for one copy each, and will be on sale continuously from Thanksgiving day to Christmas Eve. Continuous sales will be conducted in the Union Station, the postmaster of the City and County, the department stores of the City and the cigar and drug stores throughout the City and County. On special days there will be sales in the theatre and movie houses, hotels, schools and other public places. Many civic business and social organizations will co-operate in the sale of Christmas gifts in the Tuberculosis Society of St. Louis. A mail order sale in which 290 seals are sent on approval to each person on a selected list, will go out on Thanksgiving Day. Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25, 2013 Bottleger is a Dear Bottleger! The Under the heading, "The Only World Digest of Reform News," just beamed by the Mothodist Episcopal Church Board of Temperance, prohibition and Public Morals, urge that prohibition officials "real with banners according to the code of Seligmann Says France Is Living On A Continent With Two Volcanoes, Germany And Russia But He Calls France A Pirate And A Robber Because Of Poland This is the Third of a Series of Articles by the Author of "The Negra Faces America," Mr. Seligmann is now Director of Publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. By Herbert J. Seligmann President Harding has spoken The arrangement conference in Washington here began. Quartz Evans, Hughes, our secretary of State, has proposed a ten-year naval holiday, in which no additions are to be made to existing navies. He has also proposed the scrapping of 66 battleships, thirty of them by the United States, including all those under construction or projected. This constitutes a concrete proposal to fix the relative naval strengths of the three powers at 22 for Great Britain, 18 for the United States, and 10 for Japan. As Mr. H. G. Wells has said, if any power does not explain why And that will bring the discussion to the essentials of the Far Eastern and other questions. Washington with plains protege of trying to eat it. But outside the Washington conference at least, it is beginning to be realized that war somehow must be stopped. If these men and the social order they represent do not stop war war will destroy them and their society. The people of the world will not give up everything they have to live in wretchedness to pay for more battleships and armies with which to kill people. The game is not worth being to find out that war is death to railroads; death to the means whereby people live death even banks. They may learn perhaps their cost that war made in behalf of bankers' holdings in Africa, or the near East of Mexican fields, or China, will eventually swallow up the America, through her Secretary of State, has made a proposal challenging the world. It has raised the hopes of mankind everywhere, probably because it is a concrete plan for beginning to take action in the lives of the people. Will the people hope be realized in the conference? In what spirit are the few men in Washington sitting down with the fate of millions of lives depending upon their deliberations? Take, for instance, Premier Briand of France, of that France who is trying to save Russia and Russia. What had Mr. Briand to say just before the conference began? In a New York newspaper on November 10, two days before the conference was opened, Mr. Briand was quoted as saying that "France could never tolerate such limitation of her national sovereignty as to permit others to her" the amount of armed force she should keep for her national safety." In other words, the present French government is willing to discuss this armament but not to disarm. What is the excuse given for this attitude? Let Mr. Briand further opine us: "It must also be remembered that there are two kinds of war, international war and social war. Ever since the armistice France's armies have been the armies of France in front of the continent with two great colonies. The one is Germany the other is Russia." After calling Germany and Russia "volcanes" Mr. Briand proceeds to admit that the French government backed the little state of Poland in political attacks upon both of those countries. Which is worse, we may ask of Mr. Briand, to be a "volcano" or to be a pirate and a robber. This is the difficult question which Mr. Briand and other delegates to the armament conference have to face—if not to answer. For underlying war between nations is war within nations. No one knows this better than the colored people in the United States. In the past few years they have had a number of hells to go through which left little or nothing to be learned from the world war. They have faced one sort of the "social war" that Mr. Brink talks about. It is a similar social war that France's armies have been aiding and abetting against the Russians and the Germans. For the "social war" that Mr. Brink talks about often underlies wars between nations. Only war between nations makes it easy to in our United States war, one who talked about unleashing and disaffrontance during the war "impacted"? International war was for the moment more important and the virgins of the social war were asked to forget it. When international war crises, social war holds up again more vigorously than ever, as Mr. Brandt's words test. And the very armies that fought in the war of nations may be made the instruments of war within nations. Have we not Mr. Brandt's world for if that France's armies are the "armies of social order"? And what are armies of social order goal for if not to try to put the lid on volcanos—even if the act has to be accomplished with the aid of pirates and robbers and considerable official lying to us in fact, by Russia and Germany that are volcanic. The entire civilized world, is soothing, if only with desires that are yet expressed. There are even volcanic elements in France, and the French armies they did not militay, would be used bankers who brought it about. just as cheerfully against the French valcano as against the Russian or the German. For Mr. Briand to talk as if only Germany and Russia were in upheaval is nonsense. But statesmen have to acquire these unpleasant jiffie affairs at home. It is much easier to go forth to make the world safe for democracy if there is not too much talk, about Tulsa, or the Chicago or Washington or Knoxville or Omaha riots, or if there is not too much discussion about who votes and who does not vote for statesmen in the Southern part of the country, instead of it being the rights of Chicago or New York banks in China, we must all, that is stop our effort to better our own situations and the situation of the people like us because a crowd of greedy in competents have brought about fatious cooley, utterly useless and terrible international war. For that is what is the consequence of war. War sides the voice of the Negro, of the white minor in West Virginia, of the impoverished in the forests of Oregon, and Washington. If pain power, unlimited power in the face of such inhuman violence. Washington with plons pretense of trying to end it But outside the Washington conference at least it is beginning to be realized that war somehow must be stopped. If these men and the social order they represent do not stop war, war will destroy them and their social order. The people of the world will not give up everything they have to fight for their freedom in battleships and armies with which to kill people. The game is not worth the candle. Even bankers are beginning to find out that war is death-death to railroad's death to the means whereby people live, death even banks. They may learn perhaps to their cost that war made in behalf of bankers' holdings in Africa or the East. East Africa will eventually swallow up the swallow up the bankers who brought it about. The answer is an end to the "social war" that Mr. Briand talks about. The statesmen, if war is to be abolished, will have to proceed on the assumption that there is no diffinely favored race or class. Whether that realization will gain ground no one can say even after that. Mr. Highes' defiance of the Washington Conference may will rock with ideals and mobility. But perhaps the people will make their copy board. Perhaps the people will decide they would rather pay for disarmament right now. As Mr. Highes said, the scrapping of costly battleships will mean a sacrifice. Will people make that sacrifice voluntarily, not only demanding disarmament but paying for it? No, they be better to start a public fund, funded by public subscription to buy the existing navies of the world and have them to sego and smokethan to face the impossible exactions of more war. (A fourth article by Mr. Seligmann will appear next week.) AMERICAN WOODMEN STRONG FINANCIALLY The Associated Negro Press DENNER COLOR. Navig. Examiner representing states in which it operates have just completed a most through examination into the affairs of the American Woodmen, Denver, Colorado. The Supreme Camp has assessed close to Eight Hundred Thousand and the combined assets of the Supreme Camp and Local Camps total a little over One Million Dollars. The great valuation of the Society's business gave it at 101 per cent rating. The Society was found to have investments to the amount of nearly Seven Hundred Thousands Dollars Rounds in excess of Thirty Five Thousands. The Examiner's were unanimous in the opinion that the American Woodmen is one of the leading Fraternal Negroes and Supreme Commander White was conceived by them to be one of the leading Fraternal organizers having Negroes. AMERICAN WOODMEN ARRANGE TO HELP THE TULSA VICTIMS DENVER, Colo. Nov. 23, Mr. L.

After conferences with several prominent Colored and white business firms, it was desired that this order would make the necessary loans for reconstruction of homes and plants are now being perfected in the Home office at Denver, Colo. to carry out this task on the part of the American Woodmen demonstrates the wisdom of Negroes building up their own financial institutions and starting up the financial strength necessary to fund their own needs in cases of emergencies like that of Tulsa where white financial concerns absolutely refuse to give their aid. GOVERNMENT EXTENDING CREDIT TO FARMERS GOVERNMENT EXTENDING CREDIT TO FARMERS The Associated Negro Press THE HINGEON, D. C., Nov. 16. —March 16, 1969 $22,000,000 in credit has been extended to farmers and stock- smen, since Congress recently authorized the War Finance Corporation to make advances for agricultural and live stock purposes, according to figures made available last week by that agency. Reports of the corporation activities since August 24, when the agricultural and live stock authority became, operative, showed a total credit in excess of $22,003,000 established with about eighty-two financial institutions located in nineteen states for the purpose of making loans to farmers and stock raisers. States in which corporation advances for these purposes have been made are Montana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Kansas, New York, Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Nevada, lowe, Nebraska and Wyoming. Most of these corporations are NEGROES BUYING LAND IN LOWER CALIFORNIA More Than Twenty-One, Thousand Acres Already Purchased. Negro State Is A Probability. The Associated Negro Press ENCENADA, Lower Calif., Nov. 15, A Negro State in this section of Lower California is among the probabilities of the near future. At least this is the production of a group of enterprising Colored men who recently organized The Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company. The company was incorporated for $250,000 and 'MF. McBeth states that virtually the entire issue of stock was taken up by wealthy Negroes in this city, the colonization company has already been established, and an active campaign for colonists will be made during the next six months. The colony lies "sixty-eight miles south of San Diego, thirty seven miles northwest of here and five miles inland from the coast. It is believed that the cost of the tract is irrigable. It is skanked by Mountains of the coast range. Negroes Buy Land This tract of farm land was purchased by Los Angeles Negroes in 1915 and since that time has been used largely for wheat growing. Complete soil and water tests have been made and the company is now ready to make hand up into units of forty acres and hand up themselves for the benefit of housekeepers. In the opinion of Mr. Troy, who heads the company, the oil outlook is quite as promising as the agricultural future of the district in question. He declares that winds of good water can be secured at a depth of from six to ten feet, and that the soil appears inexquisite. The hands alongside the Mexican highway leading to San Diego. Roads are not good but the company hopes to improve them when colonists arrive in large numbers. The land is too near the coast for good cotton culture. The best results will be secured by growing live stock which crush crops as walnuts, deciduous and citrus fruits, alfalfa, potatoes and melons. Next spring, officers of the company, with several prominent Mexicans from this section will make a tour of the United States. Visiting many cities, where wealthy Negroes reside, to lay the factors before them and secure their moral and financial support for the undertaking. It is not our purpose to establish this colony as a retreat for poverty-streaked Negroes," says Mr. Mehlich. "The country is raw and undeveloped and it will take cracker jack farmers to bring out that best that is in it, but there are wonderful possibilities hidden there for the man who has a little livestock and a little machinery and a great deal of determination. The colony is many as fifty Negro families will go from Southern California to the state, out our present aim is to into the Southern States and take from there of Mexico the best Colored farmers the South has produced. Whites Will Be Attracted Mr. McBeth thinks the Negro colony of Lower California will serve as an entering wedge for the white man in Mexico. He holds the opinion that as the Negro gains football there and proves his value as a Citizen, the Mexicans will be ready to American capital. "That's what I want to bring my best efforts to this colonization plan. It appeals to me as being a wonderful opportunity for Colored people."

ATLAS STAMPING CO. 480 EAST 140th N. N. L. CITY The Associated North Press Harding has given to the nation and the world the Magna Charia of Racial Adjustment, according to his convictions. Comment on this very annual address delivered at Hirtingham has been general and ex- cellent, considered from sections and from races. There are two features of the address that have come in for more comment than any of the others. The two are "Political Equality" and "Social Equality." The broad suggestion that the colored citizens should divide their votes to a departure from the usual political procedure that is accepted as sound advice by those who appreciate the value of uncertainty in politics. Contending forces in politics give power to each. There has been genuine regret expressed by many that it requires a candidate to tell the people what they should have recognized long ago as being of great strategic value. The discussion of the "Social Equity" portion of the address has been very extensive within the group, as well as without. There is a vast difference of opinion concerning the advisability of this reference. Dr.W.E. R.D. Holts, Dr.Kelly Miller, Dr.J.E. Mooreland, and others commonly classified as the "intellectual group" are in the section of those who think social reference in the address was untimely, and yet misst, since the reference was made, there should be no reference set up by any nation or individual, seeking to dictate the policy of social selection between individuals. There has seemed to be more excitement and alarm, but traces, on this phase of the Presidency's address, than any other. It is noticed that the active political group, headed up by R. K. Church, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry Howard, Walter Cohen and others, the Republican party, could not have expressed opinions of fully expressed opinions. There expressions contain no comment on either a division of votes or a defense for social privilege. Senator McKenald, Democrat, Tennessee, declared that the racial question should be permitted to remain "domitious", while Senator Pat Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, was tough enough to declare that it is the purpose of the South, as represented by those who think with him, to keep the Negro from enjoying political as well as any other kind of equality. This view was countered by Senator Calder, New York, Republican, who declared that he favors political equality, even among colored citizens to the United States Senate. The Senator referred to the able colored representatives in the State Assembly and on the Board of Aldermen of New York. Back of every consideration, there must be this remembrance, as expressed by the President: The problem of races is now the problem of the world. It is because President Harding, and all other thinking people, recognize the magnitude of racial adjustment throughout the world, that the various issues involved must be met with congratrage, face to face, and not be permitted to remain "formal" or side-steped. Verily, there are many who would not be wary of the way "but" because forth there is no way. The ournish of restlessness among the peoples of the various parts of the world, an uncontrollable something that demands answer and action, urges on to a new alignment—a new era, a new something too gigantic in ultimate possibilities to yet be definitely defined. Japan of the "Colored" races of the world, pada the way in the assembly of nations: China, with her ancient civilization being modernized, even in the midst of great internal strife. India, Africa, Australia, everywhere there is a new problem of the races. In our own United States, this much has been learned. There can be no harm or sorrow in誓诵, especially there will be and for us there will, of necessity be required a measure of toleration, but there must be no sacrificing of principles in thought and contention. We must meet the conditions as they are, in a practical way, but continue to contend with all our might, and with all the resources of brain and wealth at our command, for the principles of absolute justice. But at a time that could not have been better selected, and in a location that could not have been more fitting, and by a spokesman who has the respect of civilization everywhere, a spokesman, if you choose, to whom we accredit, even by those who do not agree with his logic, simply of purpose, we have, at last, an official declaration upon which to keep our program. After that, that we have made, though long sally neglected, We must face it with valiant soldiers, let come what will or may. President Harding merits the gratitude of the nation, and the world, for his leadership and service. He ships on a subject, filled with such趣业 and delicate ramifications. FRUITS OF SEGREGATION (By Wm. Pickens) The question will inevitably arise, and we had just as well raise it now—Can we maintain both separatism and equality, and how much separatism can real equality stand? Undoubtedly, the American Negro means to have, by his power, to bring up white people in law, politics, property, and in educational opportunity and civil rights. And undoubtedly many white people who are of the intellectual level of those for whom Mr. Handling speaks, wane the Negro to have such equality. We do not need to mention "Social Inequality." For that is something that could form and a thing upon another man the political bond would be to make the same sense when we have brought the racial bond upon another man. We must If we are to *param* our separate deals, shall we have separate schools? For example—separate libraries, separate schools, or other separate public libraries? any other separate public things. We're to have, apart from institutional schools, South as a basis for anticipations. This separate schools mean inferior schools for the minority, and superior schools for those who divide the funds. This is a condition which might be betrayed if the Negro were not so completely "separated" from the boxed box. Even as a minority, they would fare better if they had access to schools for them. If—the hardest fight the openness of the Negro will make will be the fight against political quantity. For in spite of the lying to the contrary, nobody knows better than this sleeps that political equality is fundamental to any other kind of equality whatsoever,—and the Colored schools will be set over next to the rail way yards, where a dozen pulling end unpaused streets, where the children have to wade when it rains, so long as the parents have no power over the politicians who control the schools. Separate cars mean that the Negro pays a dollar and gets less than 50 cents worth of service. The Negro stations and waiting rooms are often actually a miracle but a fact. No man who owned a pig that he cared enough for to intend to eat, would have that pig to enter the washroom and toilet for Negroes maintained at the Seaboard Station in Columbia, K. C. Even voluntary residential segregation mainly puts the Negroes beyond the protection of the law. Beyond the protection of the law. In Savannah, Ga., colored people in the strictly colored sections are still walking through sand, while the city dimly "additions" of the whites are payable to the fields and woods. This is excuse all the colored folks have to do with the paying is to pay the paying is to pay the proportionate share of the management, things would be different. We could give a whole list of examples, but our readers are familiar with the case. But this is the necessary conclusion: That in all public affairs separateness, especially when under the management of one of the separated parties, makes for the greatest inequalities—while in private affairs, the right to choose one's own separateness, is the only condition of separation. But we tell you again, for we are a Southerner, that it not separateness, that we crave for this Negro, but优越ness. If you do not believe it, read carefully the comments of our Southern press on Mr. Hardling vs. Equality speech. The Mayor of Savannah said, we insult that the Negro shall be the servant of the white man", And Tom Wafson and a whole host of others said: political (and all other) equality is the "same" as social equality. That is, the only acceptable place for the Negro is under. But HARDING IN BIRMINGHAM (By Anne Kendrick Walker) Id The New York Times It is somewhat significant that President Harding's speech on the race question, at Birmingham, should have been made in a city which, according to a recent investigation of the United States Department of Labor, presents greatly superior living conditions for Negroes than were found elsewhere in the South. It is also significant that Birmingham is possibly the only city in the South which has no race segregation ordinance. The separation of the two races is as distinct as in Charleston or New Orleans, but there is no ordinance which legally requires this separation. The economic condition of the South, in contrast to the conditions in the Black Belt, has wholesomely on the community life of the race, and in this phase of the race question Birmingham singularly affords an example of what the President seems to desire in the way of economic opportunities. The mining companies of this city city build the same type of houses for their Negro 'employees as for whites. The quarters for Negro's employees have the same advantages as those for the white employees. The physical condition is of course dependent upon how far the white employer cared to go in improving the living conditions of his work, the unfortunate does not touch the great mass of Negroes it has possibly no real part in economic development of the race whose real development must come from within, but it has had a vast effect upon the racial group, particularly in that section. Birmingham, too, furnished one of the first examples in the country of a Negro bank. When Virginia was laughing at the Negro's application for a bank charter, the Negress of Birmingham. And this city has only recently been intention drawn to a training school for Negro nurses in connection with one of the hospitals of a large mining company. There are library facilities in Birmingham for the Negro population, and the marked improvement in the physical condition of the Negro schools has made for a phase of educational promise, despite the great handicap which the South carries in her system of dual schools which has so long made for an unequal State appropriation for education. CHICAGO CONTRACTOR INVENTS NEW BRICK The Associated Negro Press HISCOUHAN, N.Y. - A thirty year straggler in the mail, a thirty year straggler has just been ended by Charles Lewis, a Negro building contractor of this city. In a blaze of unrest and al- most uncontrollable storms, he is the founder of the Lowe's Commu- nity Trust Company, the Lowe's Community Center and the Lowe's Community Theater and Hospital. In his work, building communities in the community, he made a mark on the history of this great city. But let Charles Lewis tell in his own way something of the hopes and fears that have come to him through a long trail of busy years. "I haven't much time to tell you," he told another interview. "My life has been so busy and I have been so much tired up in the desire to build up something for my boys that I haven't had the time to be thinking about myself. I've been working for more than thirty years to build up something for my boys. I am glad to say that they have tried to do their jobs and are heart to doing. The result is that have a growing business, and I think a good future. "I have tried to put some new ideas in the business," he continued, "ideas that would meet some of the needs of the Colored people. I have noticed during my business career, that Colored folks had a hard time getting money to build homes for themselves. For some reason or another brokers were not willing to lend them any money to build homes, and I had not finished their schooling. I conceived the idea to have them go a step farther and make a study of the bond and mortgage business. The result is that we have now a bond and mortgage department that is giving splendid returns." When asked concerning his invention of a new kind building brick, he said: "All I can say, regarding my brick is that I have succeeded in producing a brick, which has stood the test of time and is good for the present brick in the house. The Patent office has passed on it and declared that it is really something new in bricks. Our firm is using it with great success." A great deal more could be said of this remarkable man, but the space of news article would not be sufficient to tell of the dogged determination of the man and the sacrifices he has made to educate and train a large, family of boys to carry on the business he created. It is so unusual a procedure for a colored man that it amounts to a unique bit of news. Learn Creole Way—1229 St. Fort albany Phone Linda B 1136-W Crooke College, Mine, Evelyn Scott, President.

At 11:45 the congregation was dismissed until night. Another great congregation assembled at 8 o'clock, which included a number of visitors together with several pupils from the Bethany Mission Wash, which is being consecrated by some members of All Saints Church under the leadership of Myra S. Asha, the Z. T. T. rector of St. Peter's Church, presided over one of his characteristic sermons. He took occasion to compliment the choir for its fine singing of the choral part of the service. The day was one of the greatest in the history of the Church. The collection from all sources totalled £15,26.

CHICAGO POST OFFICE CHARGES LOOK LIKE A RACIAL ATTACK Colored Employees Rank Well And Can Be Assured Of A Square Deal Says Postmaster Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 16-18—Colored Post Office circles are up in arms over a report on the Chicago Postoffice, made at a hearing held in Washington, October 5th before the Joint Postal Commission. The report declared that Colorid clerks and carriers were inefficient as compared with whites and that 900 whites could do the same work which 1400 Colored employees now perform. The charge came as a blow because Chicago's Federal group has been regarded as a highly high calibre and it has been a common practice that they classed most of the white employees in every way. Portions of the report follows: "The situation in respect to the growing numbers of Colored employees in the Chicago Postal service is a very serious one. When it comes to the practical handling of mail the Colored employees are inferior to the whites. This refers of course to the general average. When the importance of the Postal service to the whole business and social life of the nation is considered the subject becomes worthy of discussion. "The Administration of that Chicago Post Office is not making those Negroes turn out the work that the white men do turn out, and they could save 200 employees in that Post office if they applied the standards of efficiency in their everyday tasks, those Negroes that they require of the white men, demoralizing effect on the white employees, not to mention the contact feature of it which of course cannot be helped, and that is a thing which I think deserves very considerable administrative attention in that post office, if they ever want to get the Postal Service up right. "It was also observed that lack of proper supervision of these employees of the facing table results in very slow work" (2) this operation. This is especially noticeable with those Colorad female employees who are employed on the facing table. From our observation, which is confirmed by the supervisory officials and station superintendents, the work of the 1400 Colorad employees of the Chicago Post office could be done by 800 average white employees. This makes a possible saving of (500 x 1000) $20000 per year. The enforcement of office standards on the daily work will automatically eliminate the bulk of these 1100 Negroes and will affect a saying of $20000 per year." Postmaster Leader when interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press declared there was nothing to worry about in the report. He said, "The report was asked for during the Democratic Administration at Washington and was compiled after an investigation by a New York Firm of Efficiency experts and postal officials from New York. The Colored employees @ this office rank well and they will be assured of a square deal in any investigation which comes up." In the meantime, the Colored clerks and carriers who number 1400 out of a total of 1000 employees regard the attack as racial and are preparing to guard their interests. SHOEMAKER FINDS $5000 IN PAIR OF OLD SHOES SHOEMAKER FINDS $5000 IN PAIR OF OLD SHOES The Associated Negro Press *BROOKLYN BROUGH, N. Y.* Nov. 21 Frank Servill, a shoemaker at 1096 Avenue C, Bayonne, yesterday morning picked up a pair of working man's shoes which a woman had left with him Saturday night to be repaired. From one of the shoes he pulled a wad of paper which he threw in a corner. Then he set to work. The shoes finished. Servill met the wad of paper again. He picked it up and found it to be a roll of bills "Martha, come quick!" he screamed to his wife. She deserved the meal which she was cooking and with eyes pepping they began to count the money. The paper wad was $5,000 in $100 bills. Then both became silent. While they were dreaming the door was thrown open and an excited woman rushed into the room. "My husband bid $5,000 in those shoes I left," she explained. "Here it is madam!" said Servill. The woman gave him $29. "It will come in handy for the children's Christmas," said Sevilli as his wife fled back to the kitchen. The Associated Negro Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. 23. Margate City is marveling at a hen in a flock of Mrs. Alberta Rogers. The hen has summer raised seven chicks, now just the broiler stage. Mrs. Rogers, feeding her poultry, noticed this hen checking as if calling her chicks, and was astonished to see a small black kitten slip from under the right wing. The kitten refuses to abandon its shelter, and its feisty mother seems quite content to house it under her wing. The Associated Negro Press ATLANTA A.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC STORIES AND SUPPLIES. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Paul's Power Over Men. 1. A Stormy M voyage (vv. 1-20). 1. The ship. A ship of Alexandria mailing from Myra to Italy. 2. The company. Two of Paul's friends, Aristarchus and Luke, are permitted to go with him. Besides these three there were 773 in the ship (v. 7). 3. The storm. The ship made little headway on account of unfavorable winds. Paul advised that they winter in Fair Haynes (vv. 9-12), but his advice was unheeded. The gentle south wind deceived them, so they loosed from Crete, only to be soon overtaken by the temperateous wind, called Eurocyldon. They did everything possible to save the ship. They took up the boat which was towed behind; they bound great cables around the ship to strengthen it for the storm; they lightened the ship by bringing down from the masts and rigging everything that was superfluous; and finally, the cargo and tackling of the ship itself were thrown overboard. All this seemed to be of no avail, so that all hope of being saved was removed. It seemed that wicked men and material forces were combined to prevent the great apostle from reaching Rome. However, this is only apparent, for these very experiences, were overruled by God to bring good cheer and salvation to many on the way. We should remember that temperateous winds, as well as the soft breezes, await God's faithful ones. The presence of storms does not prove that we are going the wrong way. 11. Paul's Serene Faith (vv. 21-23). To all men who did not know God, the failure of the sun and stars to shine for many days, the fading of all hope, was natural; but to the man of faith, hope still burns brightly. God is just as near to His own in the midst of a stormy sea as in their quiet homes. Note Paul's behavior: 1. His rehike for their failure to heed his advice at Fair Havens (v. 21). This was not a mere taunt, but a reference to the wisdom of his former advice urging them to give him a more respectable hearing. 2. Bids them be of good cheer (v. 22). He inspired them with hope. 3. He promises them safety (v. 22). Though the ship would go to pieces, every man's life would be saved. 4. The source of his information (vv. 23, 24). The angel of God had revealed it unto him. 5. The reason of Paul's calm faith (v. 23). "Whose I am and whom I serve." III. The Shig's Crew All Safe on Land (vv. 27-44). This was exactly, as the Lord had said, We can rest assured that all God has spoken shall come to pass even though there be a broken ship, brutal soldiers and a perilous crew. Aside from the fulfillment of God's promise, the most important, part of this section is the splendid sanity which characterizes Paul's action on the way. Two things especially mark his sanctified common sense. 1. His vigilance had detected that the sailors had planned to escape. He knew how much they would be needed presently, and at once took steps to prevent their escape. He went straight to the man in charge and said, "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." He practiced the truth that genuine reliance upon God is the all-powerful incentive to human action. God's decrees always include the means for their accomplishment. 2. He knew that the famishing condition of the people was not the most favorable for the physical struggle which was soon to be undergone by them when they must struggle through the water to the shore. So, he gets them to take a substantial breakfast. He had the good sense to look after that which was necessary. It was no time to talk to these men about their souls, for their bodies needed the main attention. His prayer for that meal had more effect upon the people than his preaching would have had. Let us learn from this the divine method of administration, namely, God overruling while man trusts Him and acts. A vigorous faith manifests itself in reasonable action. Peoplead the Holy City. And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem; the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities. And the people blessed all men, that wildly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem—Nehemiah, 11:1 and 2. At War Against the Soul.

Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Addresses Thousands Of White And Colored In Tour Of Mississippi. By Wm. Anthony Aery HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 23.—Mississippi should be better known throughout the nation for its spirit of racial goodwill and inter-racial, co-operation, as well as for its fine cotton truck and dairy farms, its lumber industry, its successful modern business enterprises and its vast natural resources. Dr. Robert R. Moton's "good-will" speaking tour of h. thousand miles through Mississippi's rich-farming section, recently brought together in helpful friendly, sympathetic relations, thousands of white and colored citizens who were impelled by the spirit of common interest, mutual respect and good-will. Dr. Moton, well-known principal of Tuskegee Institute and worthy successor to Booker T. Washington, spoke at twenty-odd meetings on what white and colored people of Mississippi can do, here and now, in a Christian, courageous life with by common sense that Mississippi should be the life of the American people. He addressed large audiences at Brookhaven, Hattiesburg, Meridian, Jackson, Tougall, Ucla, Clinton, Alcon Agricultural and Mechanical College, Port Gibson, Greenville, and Mound Bayon, founded by Isalah T. Montgomery in 1888. Dr. Moton and his party of well-known, fearless, useful colored leaders—educators, doctors, lawyers and business men—were everywhere received with friendliness by white and colored citizens, and were given courteous treatment by railroad officials, city and town officers, and representatives. Wherever Dr. Moton delivered his timeless, constructive, frank, Christian message he was given a most attentive hearing and a hearty, unquivocal endorsement, of his race-related program by white and colored spokesman. Object of the Tour Dr. Moton made his famous "good will" tour of Mississippi on the invitation of leading colored citizens and with the cooperation of leading white citizens, including Governor Russell and other liberally-minded men and women who are interested in cementing better inter-racial co-operation. Twelve or thirteen years ago, in company with the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and other able colored leaders, Doctor Moton, who was then commandant at Hampton Institute in Virginia, made a tour through Mississippi. He was profoundly impressed with the progress which the colored people were then making and with the cooperation which they were receiving. Moton said that he was impressed with the hope. He believed that this progress, would continue. He recently discovered that far more can now be said to the credit of the white and colored Mississippiians who have been quietly but steadily working together to build up their beloved Commonwealth. Doctor Moton tried to accomplish three results in all his Mississippi addresses: namely, (7) to make clear to white citizens that thinking colored people, rank and die as well as leaders, understand their own weaknesses and are willing to face their shortcomings squarely with a view to getting rid of them; (2) to disabuse white men's minds of any anxiety that the success of colored people will mean the defeat in any way of white men; and (3) to put on the minds and hearts of white men to understand how happiness every day before (their eps)—things unlawful and things lawful but unfair and unjust—which create misunderstanding, irritation, and race friction and which white citizens can—and wilt—remedy, when they stop to think. Helping the Mansen Doctor Moton spoke frankly, but good humorally, to the colored people on the value of race pride, good health, thrift, reliability and intelligence in work, education, protection of young girls, efficiency, hopefulness, patience, racial good will and co-operation with one another and with white people. "The large majority of Negroes will stay in the South," and Doctor Moton. "The race problem will be worked out in the South by white and black people. I am in Mississippi because I love this State and all the South. I love this type, can live together in the south peaceably and hopefully." Indeed, the two races have lived together for a long time in this country and both races have made remarkable progress. "Negroes should put let anybody fool them, into believing that they cannot ever amount to anything because they are just as honest, just as industrious, just as useful, just as polite just as Christian like as anybody on the face of the earth. Francisco Race Pride The Negroes of this country should be thankful for many things, including the chance to work at good wages. They can buy land. They can own homes. They can make these homes so attractive that their sons and daughters should have pride in them. "There is no reason why any Negro should not have pride in himself and is his race. Believe in yourself, if you want the respect of other people. Nobody wants to put money, confidence, or faith in a race that despises itself. Do your work, as well as anybody else, but work no matter what that work is. When you iron or preach or teiching or any other kind of work. Character counts more than color. Talk "to" White People "The time has come for us to sit down and talk over matters, tactfully, wisely, and frankly, with white people. People are all alike in that they do not want to be talked about, but they are willing to be talked to." Talk to the representative white citizens, in company with level-headed colored citizens. Tell them frankly about things that hurt and siting. In nine cases out of ten they will help you to get rid of your difficulties. What Whites Can Do Doctor Moton, with wisdom and frankness, placed before the white citizens of Mississippi the serious problems which face colored men, women, and children. He asked white leaders to co-operate with the colored leaders in keeping up the good work of giving them adequate educational facilities. He pointed out the need for colored high school—well built, well-supplied—well manned,—which Hattiesburg recently completed. He stated that Hattiesburg would receive a generous return on this investment in the form of better and more cheerful service from all its colored people. He said that he had ever before the unmistakable influence this progressive Mississippi city takes in all its citizens. Doctor Motion offered his white friends some suggestions for developing kindly and helpful relations between the races; namely, the employment of colored deputies and policemen to help capture colored criminals; the trial of colored offenders by judge and jury and the abolition of all mob violence the securing of safer and more accommodations on the basis of equalization for equal fair; and the active co-operation of white and colored leaders in adjusting race relations through patient, frank mutual conference. Negro Education Pays Doctor Moton called attention to the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington, working through Tuskegee, as well as his great teacher, General Armstrong at Hampton Institute, and many colored educators in Mississippi, and throughout the nation, have realized that the best results can be obtained in developing the South by extending sympathetic, helpful co-operation and education to all citizens. "Great inducements were offered by Germany's during the World War," said Doctor Moton, "to induce colored leaders and educators of colored peoples of colored people. Not a single black man, however, was arrested or convicted for espionage or disloyalty. Graduates of colored secondary schools, colleges, and universities took a strong stand against Germany. The white people have appreciated their good work." "Social equality is a myth that makes trouble. It is a smoke screen and barrage that is often used by politicians. Social equality, as white people understand that term, is not wanted by colored people, who would rather be wilt' one another than with anybody else. All that colored people ask 'for is the fair execution of the law, regardless of race.'" Alfred Hort Stone of Dumfries, Missa- dal at the Greenville meeting: "The million of Negroes on this 'continent live under laws made, interpreted and executed by white men. They are how- ever, an integral part of American life. He is the 'Nero's best friend. There is no more trying position in American life than of a conservative Negro leader in the 'South,' for he must steer an even course and maintain his position of leadership without sacrificing any right principle. I add my endorsement to Doctor Motors' program and I ask their permission to perform the inverse sympathy and compassion of all white citizens." Why Did Motor Come? last spring some colored leaders in Mississippi, who were realizing that my peace treaty to be lasting must be written in the hearts of men, men who saw the dangers of organized, selfish propaganda, whether fostered by white or by colored people, which was based on race prejudice, fear, and hatred, decided that, nothing better could be done for the present than to find some outstanding colored Leader-one, in whom whites and blacks and deep and sincere confidence—who could and who would interpret, wisely and fearlessly the thoughts and feelings of colored Mississippiians and who could and who would interpret, in turn, the thoughts and feelings of the bravest and best white people to Mississippi's vast colorful population. Meion was unanimously selected by the colored leaders as the one man in their race who could do satisfactorily this big, serious piece of work in inter-racial interoperation. William H. Holzclay, founder and principal of the UCLA Normal and Industrial Institute, a Tuskegee graduate who is recently referred to as "the Booker T. Washington of Mississippi," made these statements in his introduction of Doctor Moton to the great Mississippi audiences. **Members of the Party** Doctor Motors' party included five members of the Puskegee Institute staff—Warran Logan, treasurer, C. M. Battley, photographer, R. F. Hubert, director agricultural department, Nassau Hume stenographer, stockist, L. Hume, stenographer, M. Hume, and the following Mississippi: W. H.

The same name used in another manner means in slang without subservience or dependability. Well, that does not fit our business in the community. Negro business is further lagged in the little town of Durham, than in any other community of similar size. Therefore they make more trips in their own factories. Pardo Blom operatives doing the skilled work. The town boasts of being the hope of the North Carolina Insurance Company, a concern that is not only the richest and oldest of the race in its time, but is far seeing enough to be funneled You see people on the streets every day, hobbling painfully along. They tell you they are suffering from rheumatism. The crippling pain in their ankles and joints is rheumatism—caused by an acid poison in their blood. The poison caused by tainted or poisoned blood will cause great suffering, cripple, disfigure and sometimes result in death. The disease should be treated by a reliable doctor or a medicinal preparation used, the merit of which is known.

In addition to these activities in his home city, Mr. Watkins owns the Idle Hour in Petersburg, Va. The Rex in South Boston, Va. The Majestic in Chapel Hill, N. Car. All are picture houses. Watkins has employed many clever devices for keeping the best other busy. One of these 'am going to pass on to others.' The character of patronage and a steady volume of it is measured his Wonderland theater, by the use of a season ticket which he personally distributes among the professional and business people of the community and its environs. Another excellent practice of the "King" is to ride about the surrounding country in his car, making brief visits to the farmers during which he occasionally mentions the next week's off-rings. He finds the personal contact is much appreciated and learns definitely the desires of his clientele. One thing he has established as a certain, is that pictures portraying race characters in serious dramas and plaining stories is in constant Armand, while low comedy pictures of Negreus is held in disfavor by many.

Ten years ago his land was worth approximately $15 per acre. Today it is worth approximately $100 per acre.

Warren and Steven beanker banked on a banquet at the fashionable Hotel Duke to a group of Philadelphia business and professional men, cath of whom a stockholder in the Lively organized Bank and Trust Company which will soon, once its songs in this art form are heard, be a part of the group. Mr. Brown and his partner, the Ron Andrew F. Stevens, decided to put on a drive among the a stockholders of the Trust Company, who have purchased a thousand dollars or more of the new corporation's stock. They invited these persons to a dinner and conference for the purpose of getting their existing and co-operation in patting on a larger banquet to which will be invited the entire number of stockholders of the Trust Company and at the depositors of the banking house of Brown and Stevens. The writer took an inventory of the holdings of the twenty two persons present at this banquet and totaled it today and finds the astonishing figure to be as follows - There was represented at this banquet Board six hundred and ninety thousand dollars, all of which were as good as a part of the business life of the city. There were perhaps ten by men of business, which were as unusual as was the capital represented, surprising. One gentleman said: Our race is expecting its financiers to lead, and we look to this new Bank and Trust Company, and expect it to become the greatest factor in racial financial development that we have produced in banking, in Trust, in finance, both capital and business efficiency, men trained, in banking and business development, free to act and serve the weaker units of our group as never before. Your correspondent noted that each of these men appeared upon the platform as a gentleman mules his horse into a thairing room, not as a lavender leap into the ball ring, and each had something valuable to say. The Hon. Mr. Stilvens said in part, "As we contemplate the causes for a few business men of really big business with our richer, rightly thinking man and woman must feel the demanding that Someone steps up to help us with our business, backing up those who are capable of making us more than four hundred years ago. Columbus discovered the New World; the Land of Golden Opportunity. Fifty years later our brothers came to fame, ill fortune is it true, but we their children have a new and improved state, and it is up to us to make best of the chance, which are on a today." The entire world comes to America for food, and manufactured articles of work, land and variety and we must not burn our attention to world designation, but we must become mannersers ourselves, own 'right' before which we are promising can be made. We find the way in this departure and I find strength, presumed that it will be this which is desired. Mr E. I. Brown spun in part "As most of you know my business career began almost twenty years ago in the Tawassee section of Virginia in the city of Newtown. I went across the historic Hamilton Roads to Newtown News and organized a bank there. Both are affiliated with a very real service to the upbilling of the race. I believe I have right to be proud of both performances there and the bank which we own in this city. But I am notorgeggh, we must have a larger and "Winger" banking business than any we have yet undertaken." "Experience teacher me, but our bank is growing and more a thrift" people hand in Philadelphia we have that of Colored men and women who support race entitlements with a greater beauty than any other community in this country. "Notwithstanding the widespread unemployment and the general business aphelion you will be astonished when I tell you, that the Colored citizens of the Savings Department in our Bank has drawn a very great deal less money than those of other race groups and what is true of our bank is clearly true with the institutions conduit) by bankers of the white race in this city." For the last four weeks, we have experienced a routine of business in both the Savings and the Commercial branch of our institutions, both in Newtown and in Virginia. Mr. Childers, John A.

I am leaving my line of books, to note, the novel progresses too far the serial "Birthright" by F. Louis Mora in the Century Magazine. Essential color reader ought to get this representation it represents a turning point in Negro literature, in America. T. B. Stribling, as the biographical note in the magazine-tells of a young Southern man, born in a small village on the Tennessee river, who has studied law, turned from that to literature, and has known many privation in his wanderings over four continents. His story is laid in a little town like that of his birth, but as one reads one finds the detached view of the traveler who has known many places and can imagine him himself as directed of prejudice. The hero of "Brightbirth" is a young Negro, Peter Steiner, born in "Hooker's Bend" who on graduation from Hyndard returns to the shabby little town where he spent his boyhood bent upon doing constructive work. On his way he be meets Tump Pack, whom he grow up with, a tough meadhead who yet deed dearly medicated youth who yet hears the congressional military medal up his coat. The two land from the boat at Hooker's bend where the colored people come in great numbers to meet the hero. Tump Pack. Tump has walked only a little way up the street when the contable steps up, arrests him on a three-year old charge of cruel shooting and murder of the white hoodlords. "They explode with delight over it" "Just as Tump was coming down the street at the head of the goods, out steps Bobbs." "here the little man who tells the story is overcoming with laughter." Peter finds the reception the whites give him equally cheering. He gets a deed for a piece of land for his school only to learn that it has whispy iscollagen known as a "nigger stopper" and that he has been crested out of his mansion. And against, this we have the picture of the white constable going through every home of the colored quarter because. Miss Lon Arnarkwright has lost her turkey rooster. "I declare satiizes old Caroline (Peter's mother) "dits heath Niggar Towp is a whimman's picked. Even time he mglasse" sompim, he feel in his pocket to see if it still admires her. He also has a console continuity to search unwaveringly. Petty theery, ignorance, shabliness, all this one sees in Hosker's Bed, but the author makes us feel the desire of the Negroes, through Peter, to get away from their ignorance and law estate and the infestation of the whites to keep them, by every and any means, where they are. There is a vivid description of Jim Crow traveling on poor trains, stopping in an obscure place over night. This unremitting insistence upon color, this continual shunting him into obscure and filthy ways, gradually gave a bathy feeling. The impassioned shuffling and things along back alley-routes; that he and his face were something to be kept on of sight as much as possible, as careful housekeepers maneuver their steps. But the text is only half the story, The illustrations by Moon, one of our progray painters, again mark a new departure in the Negro magazine tory. Here are no caricatures, but works of art showing the colored man in his bed. These are four tall pencil- portraits. The two numbers, gay and female, are framed. When old, thick of the patern pictures in our clean magazines, one is resuscitated to the price one has to pay for the Century. Fifty cents is a good deal for a single copy of a magazine. But I, for my part, would rather follow Peter Steiner this year through his struggle to educate the children of Hooker's Beam, through his love story with Classic Dildle, that he watch Doug Faintbanks, or any other man? I here push through a myriad films. The movie here always does exactly what he is expected to do. He has nothing fresh or new to show us. If he must Negotiate be a threeday, inter-communicative film, that does not take new and productive ideas, but Stirling is traveling through fresh field, he is showing us the action of travel and white in a small southern town. And his interest is an something that if we once, start out with him we shall find that we are supposed to follow him eagerly to the MOTON THINKS SOUTH IS READY TO ACT SQUARE WITH THE NEGROES The Associated Negro Press JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 9-7, Dr. Robert Riss Moton, Principal of Taukree Institute has just completed a special intermission. "Special intermission," Dr. Moton said, "I am convinced that the South is now ready as ever before to face squarely the question of the responsibility of white South to the members of my Race. I have undertaken this tour, to interpret the needs and desire of my people of the white people of the South, and to know that they are ready to begin. I am determined to speak out frankly of the things of which my people complain and which have raised them to leave the South in such large numbers. Moreover, I believe it to be necessary to continue the best white people who are willing to face their own shortcomings frankly, when that presumption can own race in whom they have now come. So, on this tour, I am working frankly to the members of black South to bear that we may go up the road down here to work for the recognition of the South and of black Patronize These Negro Business MEMBERS OF THE WEST END BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION C.E.

The tour was organized by the leading members of the Race in Mississippi who were backed up and supported by the leading white people of the state. Governor Russell, joined with the various Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade in inviting DeMotion to visit the state and wrote him a personal letter, urging him to accept the invitation. The tour opened officially in Brook haven, in the southern part of the state. From there, the party proceeded to Hattlesburg, where a crowd of 2,000 people turned out to hear the speakers of the party, and proceeded to Meridian. Before leaving Hattlesburg, however, an opportunity was given everybody to inspect the new beautiful schoolhouse which had just been completed for our people at a cost of $75,000. At Jackson was staged the most successful meeting of the tour in point of patience. The local committee had arranged for the age of the state fair grounds. Six thousand people gathered to listen for an hour and twenty minutes to a very masterful presentation of the, lace Problem in the south and particularly in Mississippi. Dr. Morgen began by explaining the object of his visit and explained that no man in the party was receiving a rent for his services; that all the money-collected by the state committee was being spent for the party while in the state. He and those who had accompanied him from other cities had paid their own expenses and from the state line. After telling some stories to poke the audience feel at home, he went on to show that it was only by being frank and above board that while and colored people could expect to cooperate together for the benefit of each other. Th party also visited Upton, Vickersburg, Alton, Greenville. At Greenville the meeting was held on the lawn of the Courthouse with nearly two thousand people in attendance. A great many people came in from the surrounding country for the meeting, a large number of them were white. Here Mr. McGoway and the annual experience of Being lated by a man said to be the chief mosh leader in that section. The tour ended at the very unusual and progressive town of Mound Bayon where Mr. Isaiah Montgomery and those Tanks and others welcomed the party.
