President Harding has a thorough American message to Congress, according to the opinion of the majority of of the people. The President made no reference to racial matters nor lynching. This is regarded as being in keeping with the fundamental purpose of the message, and the avowed ideals of the Administration of talking to all Americans alike. It refers to lynching, a subject occupying much attention in Congress with Administration backing the Dyer Bill promises to take early precedence over other legislation. In other words Congress is at last aroused to the necessity of healing the wounds of dispentiment in the body politic caused by the infliction of painful silence. "Passing the Buck," has become one of the season's pastimes. House members and Senators who returned from the White House back news of most displeasing unrest because there has not been enough practical politics played in the new administration. There are murmurings about the White House with fingers pointed in the direction of Capitol Hill; and there are murmurings on the bill about affairs at the other end of the avenue, politically speaking. Around Republican Headquarters National—in the Musgrave Building, in the two other locations, they are maintaining their fingers with outstretched hands, in both directions.

"Colored men in the smaller towns are picked up on any privet, or if need be and hands are short, or no pretext: they are then quickly taken to the police, or other police, who is a part of the "rise," and enforced to a huge fine.

He Is Now Opposing Henry Ford's Muscle Shoals Project. Associated Negro Press. There has been much calculating curiosity in political circles as to why Senator Wabson defended Senator Newberry, and then a few days later an overwhelming Republican Senate plan of "personal objection" and then Senator Johnson.

Tom Watson, of Georgia, is reported by an observer as being extremely chagrined by the fact that it has developed that one of his main bits of evidence of crimes against members of the American Expeditionary Forces newspaper man of Devil Lake, South Dakota. It was not mentioned by Mr. Jones as having been the account of the hanging of a colored man. As a result of Mr. Jones failure to state the race of the victim of the alleged illegal hanging, Senator Watson finds himself in the unfortunate situation of having advocated justice for the case of a Negro over his well known friend of the president on members of the executed soldier's race in Wasson's home State, Georgia. Senator Watson has been rubbed in his condemnation of the brutal action of the court-martial which tried this man, having condemned, the soldier for the crime of forcibly taking money paid to a French woiwaf for which no rule had been received. It is stated that Watson was involved in the action of the kind, if indulged in by the man, did not merit punishment in any form. Much conjecture is being inducted by interested persons as to how the Southern freerace will get out of the situation in which his mistakes have placed him. It is well understood that he did not intend to convey the idea that the life or death of Negro soldiers should be condemned. General Perkins administration of the A. E.

He matries a young woman of wealth and social position and again the barricade of pride rises to separate them after a short period of happiness. But, after complications that make most engrossing entertainment Robert saves his poverty stricken old benefactor and returns to his old home to stay. His wife, too, follows him and they are rebuilt and the barricade of prejudice and false pride go crashing down before the power of genuine love.

"The Lost Romance" and The Devil Within"-Criterion William De Mille's Production, "The Lost Romance" will be featured at The Criterion Theatre this Saturday. It is about a fine young couple who marry, have a son, and make a success, of life, apparently. There has been another wooor during the courtship days. Of course, when he steps into the plot after five years of married life for the other two, he looks to the wife like romance with all of the old thrill still present. How near she comes to losing her real happiness, and how the wistful aunt, who has kept the roses of her romance even when the petals are dried steps, in and sets matters right these are interesting developments in Dustin Farnum will be presented at The Criterion on Sunday in "The Devil Within." He is seen as a shiit master who absolutely disregards human life and feeling. He ruthlessly confiscates from a savage tribe a sacred idol, and from that line bears a curse hurled at him by a native witch. After trying to settle down to a normal life he finds one misfortune after another befalling him. His ultimate happiness is won by the payment of a heavy penalty in grief and remorse. The moral of the story is self-evident. "Giant Of His Race" —Movie The stirring and sensational drama with an all star colored coat, "The Giant of His Race" will be presented at The Movie Theatre on Monday and Tuesday. The picture is in seven parts and has as its theme the progress and achievements of the Negro race. "Quo Vadis." "The Devil Within" and "The Plot" — Pendleton The big motion picture snooketle, "Quo Vadis." will be featured at The Pendleton Theatre this Sunday and Monday. The locale of the picture is in Rome, in the middle of the first century, when the Empire was tettering and the new faith, Christianity, was spreading throughout the Eternal City. There is love, romance, history, powerful drama, spectacular audorand all pervading Christianity in "Quo Vadis." Although the burging of Rome and the gladiator combats thrill and carry you on your feet for the time being, the lasting impressions and soothing thoughts come with the scenes of St. Peter and the little band of Christians—their secret moelaga in the catacomb and their superb heroism when thrown to the lions in the Arena by the cruel Nero. Tuesday and Wednesday, Dustin Farnum will be seen in "The Devil Within," and an added attraction will be two acts of white vaudeville. On Thursday and Friday, Lois Weber's "The Blot" will be the feature. The story depicts the great poverty inflicted by the American people upon the school teachers and clergymen of the country. In this story, poverty and low wages paid to a college professor drives the wife to the verge of theft to provide for an ill daughter. In addition to Norma Talmadge in "The Wonderful Think", this Friday and Saturday, a special attraction will be: "Tavetta", the master of mystery, in person. Irene Rich and House Peters will come to The Olmega Theatre this Saturday in "The Invisible Thing." As the wife of an ex-convict, Niki Rich's performance is a revelation of girlishness, pathos and the self-sacrifice of motherhood. Mr. Peters, one of the most popular leading men on the screen, gives a powerful and sympathetic performance of an exconvict who is trying to reform. The production as a whole is marked by many clever and subtle touches not often seen on the screen. Unlike most stories that deal with the underworld, the crime element is entirely lacking. The plot centers about the two characters in their struggle against a past that will not stay past. In the end, however, the strength of character of the reformed crook forces respect from the secret police and freedom from persecution by them. On Sunday, Norma Talmadge will be seen in "The Wonderful Thing." It is one of the clearest combinations of humor, comedy pathos and tragedy that has found its way to the screen in a long time. It was taken from the stage play of the same name, written by Lilian Talmidge Bradley and Forrest Halsey, which had a wonderful success on Broadway and on tour.

As evidence of this, they point to the discriminatory and humiliating treatment which we have accorded to Japanese in the United States; to our opposition to Japan's legitimate ambitions on the mainland of Asia; to our blocking the insertion in the covenant of the League of Nations of a clause recognizing Japanese racial equality; to our refusal to recognize the Japanese mandate for the former German possessions in the Pacific; to our unofficial but none the less active support for China in the controversy over Shantung; to the strengthening of our naval bases at Cavite and Pearl Harbor; and finally to the long succession of sneers, jibes and insults indulged in by American jingoes, anti-Japanese politicians and certain sections of the American press. Viewing the situation without prejudice, it seems to me that Japan has as good ground for her suspicion of us as we have for our suspicion of her.

MEMBER MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH W. L. PORTER! "LIKE A CLAP-FROM the clear sky" came the news of an attack on Dr. William Pickens and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through the columns of The East Tennessee News, published at Knoxville, Tenn., Webstey L. Porter, editor-owner. SINCE OUR ACQUAINTANCE with Mr. Porter, we had learned to believe him a young man of strong sterling character; a defender of his people and a lover of his Race. Hence, we are really at a lost to know what could have happened to him on this occasion, that caused him to lose his head and attack an organization that has done more for the Race during the past twelve years than any other agency in this country. THE BEST THINKING PEOPLE of this country acknowledge the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as a constructive force, and helpful, not only to the Colored people, but to the nation. This Week This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo. W. Buckner MR. PORTER, to the best of our knowledge, and belief has in the past, been a strong supporter of the Association; therefore, the sudden change of heart, at a time like this, will be looked upon with a marked degree of suspicion. ALREADY THERE, ARE insinuations that the editor's actions look like a "sell out" or, a response to the master's call—doing the biddings of the white people of Knoxville—Whether this is true, we do, not know, but it is at least painful for us to believe. COMMUNITY SPIRIT This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of community problems and current topics. Our community spirit is a city's greatest asset! The lack of it is a curse. Our first big obstacle in the path which leads to racial solidarity and progress is the lack of unified effort in promoting movements for and that faith can harmonize their programs and blend their methods there can never be the Lent Louis that each of us desires. FURTHER MENTION HAS been made of the fact that the same issue of Porter's paper in which the attack was made on the Association and Mr. Pickens, an announcement was made that Mr. Porter had purchased a $7000.00 home. These statements are made by some of those who know Mr. Porter, in an effort to reason out why he has taken this route to "fall from grace." WE CONFESS that we do not understand Mr. Porter's actions in this case. We only know we are utterly surprised at the attack. If he was forced to do so in order to live in his home town and state, we think it would have been far better that he should take up his bed and walk. If on the other hand, he made the attack for money, or to make the whites believe that he is a "good nigger," then he has played the part of a traitor. St. Louis offers advantages to the enterprise young Negro that no other city offers in the Middle West. Habitation, evenness of climate, size and location of the city, these extend to the would be shelter here in mutual aviation, and these are the main economic assets of any community. They determine the wealth and stability of city. With a community spirit back of these advantages the prosperity of the city would increase by leases and bounds. THESE WORDS OF OURS are mere conjectures. We shall withhold our condemnation until we learn more about the cause of this seemingly unwarranted attack on the N. A. A. C. P., and its field secretary, Dr. William Pickens, or at least until Mr. Porter shall have had an opportunity to explain his actions in this case, to the public, to whom he is so greatly indebted. It is clearly the duty of those who are already established here—the ministers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, business men, never to tire of praaching and practicing the doctrine that the growth of difficulty depends upon duty of effort. Now sometimes he has to say: "What is the best pay I ever saw?" These people are different. "You Know You Have to Go Show," and many other kindled expressions. So expressions are not always made by differenates. A CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE THE BIRMINGHAM PLAINDEALER, published at Birmingham, Alabama, sees the solution of the Race problem in the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This paper, though published in the South praises the work of the Association as a "Constructive Force" for the good of the country. IN AN EDITORIAL OF DEC. 9, The Plaindealer has this Knocking is a disease and 'Knock into' a measure to St. Louis "The work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People goes on, steadily on, becoming daily more entwined and felt in our national life. We have attempted several times to launch a bank operated by Raceman. Every time the project has failed, Why? Because we do not have the right men? No. We all of us do not have the right community spirit. Whenever the leaders of the different groups decide it is one of the community's biggest assets, we will have a look over night: "The N. A. A. C. P.' has done a constructive and praiseworthy good. And Negroes are not the sole beneficiaries either—the whole country has gained, even the prejudiced and hostile, for the organization, openly and aboveboard, is playing a full hand in getting the country back to the principles of its founders." A community spirit calls for team work with teeth in it. That means the masses must follow the leaders willingly or otherwise, but they must follow. This was pre-eminently true with ancient nations and it is just as important to follow the leaders of India follow Gandhi, the great leader, twelve million Negroes in America a must follow and are willing to follow intelligent leaders who can formulate a program which the leaders themselves will follow. This is the first big step in creating community spirit. We have the brains. Let us begin right here we are in our own environment and we must do every enterprise which will mean augment and uplifting of colored men and women. "Its ten-year fight against lynching alone is monumental! The publishing of the bare facts without comment of the Lowry burning in Arkansas to every foreign country has brought the eyes of the world to a focus.

MOB VIOLENCE still rages while the National law makers of the land are yet asleep to the duty of their country. THE OUTCOME OF THE ANTI-LYNCHING bill which is now pending before Congress, will determine whether this country stands for law and order, or whether the law-makers stand for mob-violence. URBAN LEAGUE ANN'L MEETING IN JANUARY The second Annual Meeting of the Urban League will be held most probably on the 16th of January at which time the National President L. Holingsworth Wood, and Eugene Kintle Jones, National Executive Secretary, have been invited to be present. Mr. Wood is a prominent New York Lawyer and a pleasing speaker. He is a long-time College Professor and has long been identified, with work among colored people. He is on the Board of Directors of Fish University and Haverford College in Pennsylvania. THE SINCERITY of our national policy is on trial and the law-makers at Washington must render the verdict. EVERY DAYS DELAY is aggravating the situation. It is high time that the Congress of the United States "wake-up" and call a halt, on mob-violence by enacting adequate laws to deal with that class of criminals who engage in the barbarity. The Annual Report of the Urban League and the work of the Provident Association among colored people will be made at this time when it will be shown how over $40,000 was Provident in rendering relief and social service, among destitute families and others during the past year. The place of meeting will be announced later. WE NOTE THAT WM. E. Officer Jr., is managing editor and Earl P. Dodson is city editor.

MINISTERS REFUSE TO ACT ON RESOLUTION The following resolution was presented at the Baptist Alliance Monday December 12. To the Negro Ministers Alliance of St Louis: Greeting: As you know about a year ago, I offered a resolution in your alliance which was accepted, and placed in the hands of the committee on residents in the hands of the committee on residents in anything from. In which that the resolution asked the Ministers of that time, to thoroughly investigate the conditions of the labor movement, and for what it good, especially concerning the Butcher Working men of North America. I am before you again in the face of the crisis that confronts this same organization. In which the white and black workers of America have laid down their tools, and walked from their jobs. Not less they were disallowed to their employees, and were unable to support their families and take care of the other in orphaned expenses under the present wages; that the employee deserves them to work for. Since the men of all races have laid down their tools especially in the city of St Louis. More than in any other city we are no longer or even of. The men who are excepting the jobs to break the strike of both white and black workers 95 per cent of them are colored. L. as a lender makes an earnest appeal to the Minister of the gospel of all denominations, and as leaders of our people let us get together and touch our people the right thing to do. To avoid trouble of such nature as has allready occurred in other cities. This is the high point of our packing the workingman. But it is a witch of them are deafening, publicly sat of the white and black man, and that they are not going to stalk much anger for our people to pay the grim of unharming against them. As there was no bar against them to work for the organization. Through this resolution your hum be servant and true race lover and mother is making an earnest appeal to every leader to get together and ward off the crisis that will disgrace the same of our city and create a disposition between the black and white which does not now exist. Respectfully submitted by C. Ford. The Negro Baptist Ministers Alliances refused to consider the above resolution at their meeting Monday. Mr. Ford was present and urged consideration but failed.

Determined Leadership Needed Determined Leadership Needed It is being said by all folks concerned, and that includes those who are responsible for contumption next year, that a really determined leadership, void of sentiment, is needed. It is being argued, especially by members of Congress, with whom the A.N. P. representative discussed the situation, that the Senate "Pulled a terrible boner" when it failed to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson. The reaction of the press on this matter identifies the confession of the congressional side. From one end of the country to the other, the press has condemned the failure in no uncertain terms. As a matter of cold fact, party managers, responsible for the election success of the party, have expressed the fear that the Democrats might contuminate on the politics and put in a personal objection on all Presidential nominations, from now on. Investigation by the Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that the majority of the good places held by the official preferment, are still occupied by Democrats, and a few of whom now profess to be Republicans, and many of whom are Democrats, insist that they are "Dixie Democrats." "Turgt the misuses out has become a war cry. They are yelling it everywhere, but it is expected that there will be some heavy dropping from the pay roll before the New Year is old. W. E. Gibbs is Retired It is gratifying information to those who followed the series of絮絮 ried by the Negro Press last summer, to learn that W. E. Gibbs who was then secretary to Attorney General Daugherty, has been retired from that position, where he could not see why Colored Americans should object to segregation in the Department because white people did not object, and his position has been killed by Secretary Martin, who was formerly secretary to late Senator Knox, Mr Martin is both a gentleman and a good Republican. Attorney General Daugherty has declared in an open statement that his departing must be run with absolute fairness to all. In discussing recently the grave responsibility of selecting thirty two additional Federal Judges, who are appointed for life, Mr. Daugherty declared that they must be men who are white and colored. His further declared that they must be men who will see that all laws are enforced without fear or favor. Special Assistant Attorney General Perry W. Howard has handled the cases he hasigned to him with such credit in the "Claims Department" that he has been given the privilege of promoting his former clerk, Attorney Lewis Mullinger, to be his assistant, and L. R. Evans, who was his secretary, and C. A. Evans, who was his attorney in the office of the late Senator Knox. "Basec Sleep to Go" Colored citizens from one of the country to the other, and a large number of white ones also, according to first hand information, are "concentrating" their thoughts on the Ninth District of Virginia, in the elections of 2012.

Slemp, shrewed, but not more politician, has, it is declared, produced a bunch of sour grapes. "It is stated that Slemp now opines that she the Lily White secrete failed, in which he is reported to have not favored, all hands can pull together now and organize a "Republican party in Virginia taking a talk."

By HERBERT J SELIGMANN BY HERBERT J. SELIGMANN NEW YORK, DCE. 14. - Collapse in Europe, famine, death, hideouts suffering; these loom up as vast and menacing accompaniment to the armament conference in Washington. In Vienna, that city of death where bodies are wrapped in newspapers and people die in hospitals on bare mattresses, mobs have wrecked hotels and shops, and the police, who are themselves underpaid workingmen, have not interfered. There is chaos in the Near East. there is chaos in the Near East. In Berlin there has been panic. The mark has risen and fallen suddenly and business houses have failed. A former director of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, Mr. Paul M. Wraburg, has issued a warning that chaos may spread to Germany. It is easy to call this situation of Central Europe names. Some people call it Bolshevism. But Bolshevism when the word is so used merely means to disease, loss of vitality and of faith disorder. The disorder in Europe today is due to lack of food and hunger, on the part of the wrking populations. These conditions are beyond the power of any "Bolshevist" to create or to check. Against this terrible background the men assembled in Washington go on with their conversations as the third nothing were wrong. By and by, that hold initial utterance of our Secretary of State, Mr. Hughes proposing a ten year naval holiday, is flashed down. The Japanese insist their ratio of warships shall be 7 to our 20 instead of 6 to our 10. A dendlock is avoided on this issue by persuading the Chinese to discuss with the Japanese what should not be discussed at all; whether the Japanese troops ought to be withdrawn from regions they have no right to occupy. Meanwhile English statesmen, having doubtless thought about France her large army, has proposal to build submarines, decide it would be best to "modify" the ten year naval holiday. In the first days of December, news comes from Washington that the naval holiday, during which no battleships were to be built, is to be amended; instead we are to have "restricted building" of war vessels. So the people's habits are roused and so, as the conference processals, are the people betrayed. Exactly what is going on in secret meetings and what bargains are being made, no one can say. But it is plainly evident that hope in the arrangement conference in Washington is fading. Every good suggestion is adopted "in principle" and nothing is done at me. Meanwhile the French have thrown their hammer into the machine, propose that Germany be treatise as a bankrupt like Turkey, and be dismembered so the French bankers may have their money. Against the criminally stupid hagging among statesmen while Europe disintegrates—not at all unlike Nero's fiddling while Rome burned—the masses of the people have little or nothing to oppose. The people know in a vague sort of way they want pence. Their statements enburse peace "in principle" but defraud the people of the actuality. That is because the business of those governments is not to make peace. The business of those governments is to make war. As one of the most brilliant of America's young writers Randolph Bourne now unfortunately dead, pointed out the governments of today even of Republics, are instruments of a power just as despotic as was ever any king's. That power is the power of an imaginary unit called State. The State is neither land, nor is it people. It is something that claims jurisdiction over the land and demands the alliance of the people. It is in wartime that its powers are most absolute. In wartime to be a critic is to be a traitor. It is in wartime that patriots and protectors are supreme, military men and bankers are in control. These are the servants of the State, whose power they wield, blind to the utrance of painters, musicians, poets, writers, except as these can be made to chant the glories of the decurring monster. In Europe, a number of these monsters have fallen of their own weight. They have fulfilled the destiny for which apparently, they had grown up, namely, to make war. That war, which was to serve the interests of the most powerful classes in the State, not only destroyed the State but those classes as well. In the two countries where Cust or Emperor and the banners-on of blades were most powerful Russia and Austria, they are simply for a long time notorious. In India, to be their own master, they are AFRICAN MISSIONARY STUDIES OUR SCHOOLS [Image of a man in a suit with a tie, looking slightly to the right. The background is dark and indistinct.] REV. M.

Sishuba, was educated in our American schools and he has made rapid improvement during his student career in our schools and has made an inspection of our schools, he was enthusiastic of the great number and quality of the schools and especially of Summer High he studied their methods and said that they could be used as models for his country in addition of visiting the schools. Dr. Sishuba has preached in many of our churches, said that he had obtained various plans of them and other enterprises. On his return to Africa, he has build a new and modern industrial school and institutional church. Dr. Sisahua, said that while South Africa had many missionaries in the past years, the cause of Jesus is now at a standstill still owing to the lack of funds and also because the lack of volunteer workers all other business in Africa he said is suffering from the same general stagnation that is affecting this country his idea in establishing an industrial school, he feels from his experience of observation and studying of the industrial conditions in America that this industrial training of the people will be one of the great AFRICANS ARE STUDYING MODERN CIVILIZATION The Negro Associated Press The Negro Associated Press BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 14.—American Negroes have been given an impressive and inspiring example and insight into the determined and wonderful efforts that are being put forth by the natives of Sierra Leone, West Africa. In educational and industrial training, proficiency and advancement, they are most worthy of note. During the past ten days, Mrs. Cassy Hayford and her niece, Miss Hattie Eleanor, full blooded natives of Sirira Leone, West Africa, have been in Chicago giving lectures and exhibiting native dances, also dispensing wealth of information regarding the history, customs, conditions, natural resources, needs and other conditions of that far away and amazing country. "The past few years have seen a much greater, more enthusiastic and determined effort put forth by the civilized Africans to advance in all parts and benefits of modern civilization," said Mrs. Hayford in an interview with a staff representative. "We are making particular efforts to become proficient in the various trades, crafts and arts that are so necessary to a higher and better standard of living. We believe in educating the brain and hands so that both can work together. We greatly admire the system of industrial training as taught by your foremost institutions of learning. You have much money; we ask only a little of it to aid us in our march toward civilization and progress." Mrs. Hayford stated that the American Committee for her work consists of the following persons: Dr. Gregg, Dr. Robert R. Moton and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Mr. Robert Appley, manager of British West Africa, New York City will act as trustee for all funds collected in America. there will be little left that can be called civilization. Not inconveniably, a new Dark Age, more terrible ever, than the Dark Ages of medieval times in Europe, may be ahead, out of which will come new social forms, new ways of living, thinking and feeling. est aids in ejecting the spirit of self help to his people the possibilities of Africa and the future hope of his people rising up in power along the lines of industrial, social, political, educational and economic problems. His argument is that his people must first be taught the art of manufacturing and inventing crude materials for their personal use that are in store for them in the Continent of Africa. Africa has wonderful resources of raw materials and endangered products of Africa, but the black man of Africa has been trained along these lines, he will never be able to launch out in the big problems of life which in centuries to come may create for himself and his children of the unborn government a iterative commercial interest and a well civilized government like that of all other races and nations of the world, entering upon the commercial activities in exchange marketing investments in stocks and bonds of the world and in this process of development will leave the black man to place of prominence and recognition of the civilized world. Rev. Sisbuba, has with kind a very interesting and fascinating picture-scenery of Africa, illustrating the general native African life. Illustrating the picture possibility of Afrien, his pictures are very choice illustrating the disadvantage of the suppressed black people of Africa and shows the supremacy of the dominant race. He renders native seductions in connection with his picture scenery. - By Mrs. Wm. J. Henderson, 3316 Jacus avenue. Dr. Woodson Says We Must Develop Industries, And Attain Economic Independence. TheAssociated Negro Press. HAMPTON, Va. Dec. 7. — There are certain things which Negroes in this country must do, if they hope to enjoy the blessings of real democracy; they must attain economic independence; they must have educational independence; they must develop a literature; they must learn to preserve their own records; and they must learn the value of tradition. Dr. Carter G. Woodson of Washington, D. C., well-known editor of the "Journal of Negro History," made this declaration in a recent address on "Negro and Modern Democracy," which he delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute. Dr. Woodson further stated "The people who control the coal and iron, the banks, the stock markets and other valuable resources are the people who will dictate exactly what shall be done for every gram in this land. Liberty is to come to the Negro, not as a buoyant, but as a conquest; that is, the Negro must contribute something to the good of his Race, his country, his God. "The Negro must find some avenue of business. He must exploit something to the extent that he will develop an industry or a business in which he can give some offer Negro employment. Anneal to Race, Pride Until the Negro learns to do something himself in the field of education he will never be able to consider himself a real man. If the Negro is not going to become an educational factor among his own people, then education is not the leverage to lift him, in the sense that it has tilted other people. A man is educated when he can do without a teacher and when he can, and will, develop and grow without the stimulus of instruction. So it must be with a race. Power of the Press "Some Negroes read a Negro newspaper. A few Negro newspapers tell the story of the Negro in a cool way. They tell of the strivings of the Negro in such a way as to be an inspiration to youth. Every Negro should read the publications of his Race. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 16, 1921 Special to The Argus WILDERFORCE, O. Dec. 14.—Shorter Hall at Wilberforce University, around which center the beginnings of the Negro race in its strivings for educational advantages, and hopes of the race for better things, and out of whose walls have gone so many of the men and women who have done and are doing so much in a "worthwhile way for the establishment of the Negro as a very vital force in the affairs of the Nation, was destroyed by fire, Wednesday night, December 7. From an investigation on the part of the authorities at the University, and also on the joint of the State Fire Marshal's Office, it appears that the fire must have started from defective wiring in the attic of the north wing of the building. The fire was discovered by students who were returning to the building from the weekly prayer service which was conducted at Galloway Hall, at the other side of the campus. President J. A. Gregg, who conducted the prayer meeting and Secretary Jenkins who lives directly across from the building, were the first officials in the building after the alarm was sounded. They directed the few boys who were already striving to put out the fire. They were soon joined by Superintendent Berry, Bishop J. H. Jones, Dean Jones, W. A. Anderson and other members of the faculty and friends from the neighborhood. Had there been adequate fire fighting apparatus at hand the building might have been saved. Appeals for help were sent to nearby towns but none would respond and the authorities at Nema, the nearest town, when called upon, refused to come. Everything possible was done to save the building, and when it finally became certain that it was doomed, the boys were directed to save whatever they could. Very little was savaged, however, which left a total loss of several thousand dollars, and two hundred boys left without houses, and many of them without clothing. Superintendent Berry and Dean Woodson very generally throw 'open the doors of their' departments, and a committee called by President Gregg including Bishop Jones and the heads of departments, was able to plan on the housing of students, and the care of the College department, whose classrooms were on the first floor of Shorter. Mr. H. E. Schmidt of Xenia was instrumental in getting Governor Davis to send one hundred cots and two hundred blankets to President Gregg to be distributed to the young men whose building was lost in the confugation. The local Red Cross unit under Miss Schneiffer has offered aid, and the people generally are doing all possible to care for the wants of the young men. President Gregg and Dean Jones, together with the office forces of both th University and C. N. & I. Departments have been busy in placing the boys in comfortable homes. At the Chapel exercises the next morning, President Gregg spoke feeling of the great loss, and called up off the faculty and students to show fortitude and bravery in the face of the fearful disaster. Bishop Jones assured the faculty and students that the loss although staggering, was not altogether discouraging and that steps would be taken to immediately rebuild and take care of the situation. Miss Hattie Q. Brown spoke touchingly of the passing of Shorter Hall, which meant so much in the hopes and aspirations of men and women scattered throughout the world. Chapain Stewart offered the first one hundred dollars toward the rebuilding of the edifice, and he was quickly followed by a promise of five hundred dollars from Bishop Jones, a hundred dollars each from President Gregg and Dean Jones, and Miss Hattie Q. Brown who went to England and secured over fifteen thousand dollars toward the fund. All members of the faculty have pledged their support toward the fund. A very vigorous campaign for funds will be started, and although a goal has not been determined, President Gregg estimates that at least two hundred thousand dollars will have to be raised at office. The friends of the community have very kindly helped in housing the boys, but this gives only temporary relief, and President Gregg calls upon the Alumni and friends of Willisforce and those who are interested in the development of Negro youth to send gifts for the purpose of raising the funds required. Now is the time, if ever, that the public has the opportunity to give aid to a worthy cause. Contributions in any amount will be gladly accepted and receipted by Secretary C. C. Jenkins, and the money set aside for this special fund. The building must be started at once in order to be ready for occupancy by the opening of school for the next scholastic year in October. How strange that just a little over a week before the bell which had been calling students for over fifty years, should have told the requiem of Dr. Thomas H. Jackson, the last of the first three graduates of Wilberforce and then as Miss Brown puts it, to tull the knell of the edifice where it had hung since the completion of the building, following the destruction by fire of the original plant on the night of the assassination of Lincoln during the Presidency of Bishop D. A. Payne. And as Bishop Payne said, while looking upon the ashes of the old structure "It went down wood, but it shall go up brick and stone." May we not say that out of the ashes of the old shall rise Phoenix like a structure that shall exemplify the hopes and aspirations of the race in its centuries struggle for the very best in the new age that is now upon us. WARREN ON. Gg. Dec. Hg.-G. C. Williams, colored, and H. flot. at the age here have been born. He was Not as a Class do We Advocate A Race's Rights, but for the Ultimate Pest Interest of Our Nations. N. A. A. C. P. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has announced a national drive for membership. This organization appears to have adopted a definite, progressive program and to have adhered to a consistently earnest pressure in attaining its ends. Intelligently interested, informed Americans, see in this organization, if conducted in future as in the past, an ultimate means for coordinating the effort and aims of the heterogeneous mass of various race stocks which make up the citigenery of the United States. The Danger Racial antigoniums cannot persist in the United States excepting that the United States break under the strain of responsibility entailed by our newly acquired international leadership. National solidarity is impossible so long as the inconsistent status of Negroes fives a president which makes other, and greater interracial differences inevitable in future. State Rights History is filled with accounts of of the disintergration of great nations which have departed from the ideals upon which their greatness have been built. Inconsistent interpretation of national laws is an immediate preversion of a disregard for national laws "State rights" when used as an excuse to offset the effect of national ideals are easily apparent as forewarners of "State wrongs" upon which no possible limit can be set. For Progress Considered from any point of view the Negroes' status in the United States is a deterrent to national progress. Socially it establishes a breeding ground for every form of destructive house lynchings, paganage, legalized injustice as imposed on Negroes in the South, as an immune as any perscription ever visited upon a helpless class of citizenry of a nation; it bars from intelligently constructive national economies fully eight per cent of possible directive ability as well as weakening the bodies and debasing the minds of aouth of the total population; politically it has established a system of trayness in the south which is permeating our whole government with the result that our elections have become a mail series of double dealing, cross purposes, ruled and guided by individuals and group greed to an extent which would make this one evil if they were no others, ultimately injurious to every ideal of national unity. Common Heritage The greatness of the United States as a nation is not the heritage of any special group of citizen. The black slave ancestor of an American Negro was building an inheritance for prosperity at the same time that the white frontier-man was making an empire for his descendants. Neither the slaves nor the frontiersman knew that they were sustained by an ideal, they were neither of them, trained philosophers but nature knew it and nature made them the kind of men who could have the kind of descendants that we are, all of us. I can't help but believe that the toll of my ancestry has earned for me the right to absolute equality with any foreign born citizen of this country. I can't help but feel that my son will find a way to realize this right. I hope it will not be at the cost of his blood and the blood of other American citizens. Rights—and Wrongs. Recognition of the rights of Negroes means unity of national thought getting back to constitutional principles and individual and group success based on nothing but merit. If this was all it meant, recognition would come over night. The obstruction is made by it meaning the end of southern concubiage, poor labor and political knavery. Southern white men are not going to willingly give up their colored concubines, cheap labor and political spoils. Brains and Money. The N. A. A. C. P. has a big job. Brains are needed—and money. Brains and money know no color line. The two go together and are difficult to get hold of in any quantities. With a Just cause though, intelligently advocated, all that is necessary will come—it will take time but it will come. $35,000.00 A Day. The leading retail merchantite establishment of St. Louis, through a decision of the retailers association have an agreement to not advertise in, nor otherwise support any class publication. In a broad way this decision has an excellent feature. It may tend to do away with class consciousness and it might tend, all things being equal, to coalesce the classes into a community whole. With Colored folk though, the rule wont work. All things are not equal. In spite of all that can be done or said by our racial group we are kept in a class by ourselves; we are, willy-nilly, thrown on our own resources and the result of the action of the retailers association is that a part of all loan $55,000 a day which is spent by colored people in St. Louis goes to the box-back tailor, the skin that flan shank, the three spice grocer and many blocks of St. Louis business streets are scattered up with many streets which sound and lie if the last retailers were going to. Democrats Were Organized, Fusionists Worked Without Harmony. Tammany Did Not Use A Romance Of Sweet Sounding Theories And Promises. "New Mind" Of The Negro Got The Idea, Saw The Point And Voted Eight To One For Hylan. Tammany Methods Are Being Studied By Democrats In All Northern States Where There Are Large Numbers Of Negro Voters. Republicans Must Meet The Issue Or Lose By Default. By SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT of ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NEW YORK. Dec. 11. It would be unfair to the American people to let the results of the recent city election in New York pass on without a careful study of "cause and effect." A special representative of The Associated Negro Press was in New York for two weeks during the closing days of the campaign. The people throneled the nation will be interested in some facts learned during that time. There were two outstanding facts: Tammany Democracy was determined to reelect Mayor Hylan, and opposing interests were for Curran fusionist Republican. Tammany was organized and factioned. The Curranities were semi-organized and failed. How did Tammany glit? By playing the game according to Hoyle. Why did the fusonites fail? Because they had pitied a "scrub" team against seasoned professionals who held before their eyes just one motto, "Victory" Tammany did not start during the fail to play the game. They started years back, and hence, pleased before the people a record of genuine results, not a romance of sweet sounding theories and promises. That new mind of the Negro, got the idea, saw the point and vested for Hylan and Tammany. An Array of "Ten Strikes" Say what you will about it all being politics, it was, indeed, and it got what the people, desire, and had not had from the 'Republicans before, results. Whether Republican or Democrats, Socialists or Liberty, thinks the average, citizen these days, if there are no results, what does it matter? By the same token, he reasons, if results are obtained, what more can be asked? The question was answered by the Negroes of Harlem about eight to one results. Wise Tammany regardless of motive, played for the game, and won. The following are the expressions used by Tammany Democrats in New York streets for several days and nights, prior to the election November S. 1921: Tammany Hall treats you as an equal; Republicans treat you as inferior. Why? Because they think you are political chattel. President Harding and the "Lily White" Republicans are trying to kick the Negro out of the party. Tammany Hall Democracy is not Southern Democracy nor "Lily White" Republicanism. Tammany Hall gave us the Civil Rights act and the Fifteenth Regiment and Tammany Hall has appropriated funds for puffing up Bath Houses and the Fifteenth Regiment Armory. The hour of the Negroes' political freedom has struck. The Negro of Harlem has been in the habit of giving his vote to the Republican Party and getting his job from Tammany Hall. Divide your votes as other races do. And earn the respect and recognition that other races do—Vote the Tammany Hall Ticket and Repudiate the "Lily White" policies of the Republican Party at Washington. Other Efforts of Drive Besides the above, which unbiased practical politicians have informed, the A. N. P. are real bell ringers in the political game. Tammany has off Hylan organization from jellor to garret" and out on the lightning rods. There was, not a block in Harlem where there was not some kind of Hylan club, real fancied, paper or otherwise. There were these: "Harlem Democratic Club;" "Frank Wheaton Democratic Club;" "Foreign-born Citizen," Hylan Club," taking in for the most part naturalized West Indies peoples;" "Hylan Republican club;" "Hylan Republican Democratic Republican Club;" "Colored Women's Hylan Club;" "Colored Children's Hylan Club;" in appreciation of opening playgrounds in the cross streets; and the "First Voters' Hylan Club." The majority of these places had headquarters, well furnished, plenty of literature, nightly meetings and convincing speakers. The Hyllan St. speakers went about on electrically illuminated, beautifully decorated trucks, that for spectacular impressiveness would make the glitter and gold of a Barnum and Bailey show wagon look like an ox cart. On the 'day of the election, there were workers everywhere, of course, but Tammany had workers everywhere for weeks before the day of election. That "grand climax," came on the Sunday before the election. Announcement had been made on the front page of all the Harlem papers that on "sunday. November 6. there would be ground breaking at the site of the new 15th Regiment Armory; that there would be a mammoth military and civic parade through the principal streets and Lenox avenue, and that Mayor Hylan would be present and view the parade, lift the first stage of dirt, and deliver an address. The program was carried out according to announcement and schedule. This was the very last Sunday before election work, and in the afternoon, Mayor Hylan as some mayors must have done, did not and a man nor a woman will be present.

Load the way to the reviewing stand, watched the pride, went over to the formal ceremonies, delivered an address, remaining amidst the thousands for practically three, hours, in an atmosphere, chilled with winter blasts, but warmed with enthusiasm. Was that good politics? Tammany played the game and won, Colored Tammany leaders have told the A. N. P. representatives that they intend to use the same methods in 1922. Will they meet sterner resistance? The Tammany method and system is being studied by Democrats in all of the northern states where there are large, numbers of Negro voters. Are the Republicans, going to meet the issue or lose by default? DR. WM. KNIGHT Jeweler and Eyes Specialist 2335 1/2 Market St. Dr. Knight has been in the jewelry and optical business for 21 years.

Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, announced recently that the Thirty-first Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference will be held at the Institute, January 18th and 19th 1921. As in former years the first day will be designated as "Farmers' Day." Subjects of special interest to farmers will be discussed on the opening day, the general topic being "Marketing, Selling of Farm Products, the Farmers' Problem." Various phases of this subject will be discussed by agricultural experts and farmers. The second day, known as "Workers' Day," will be devoted to solving problems of the rural teachers and community workers For thirty years Negro farmers and rural workers have looked forward to this conference with eagerness and interest. The advice given and the solutions to various problems offered have proved of much benefit to each class. In addition to these beneficent results the meetings have inspired and encouraged many of those who were faltering and on the brink of disaster. In keeping with the custom, established by Dr. Booker T. Washington, prominent men in agriculture, education and community development will address the conference. The speakers for this year will be announced at a later date. Dr. Moton is urging every Negro farmer and rural worker to be present at this meeting. Special reduced rates on all railroads have been offered. BOY PRISONERS HAVE RACE RIOT IN JAIL The Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL, Dec. 7. "Youthful prisoners in the county jail ripped this afternoon while *in* their schoolroom on the fifth floor of the building.

Pickens Seven centuries of fight, and at last the "smokes" are driven from the Emerald Isle. The spider of Scotland, and Robert the Bruce, tried "seven times" but Ireland tried seven hundred years. They hung on the gallows, they buried in the fire; they plead and bled and died. They fought odds, against the wedded powers of Mammon and Mars. They were herded like cattle and jalled like felons. They lay maked in the wood, and they starved in prisons, and the great soul of McSwiney fasted more days than did Jesus Christ. They paid willingly for their freedom and they got it. It is a thing that will worth all costs. and the "smokes" are driven out, by St. Patrick and Saints like McSwiney and the rest of Sinus Fein, "Ourselfs Alone." A man who loves his own people, is the only man who can love other people; and the man loves people, is the only man who can love God. But as a people is its own greatest strength, so is it also its own greatest weakness. The greatest menace to Free Ireland today is a group of Irishmen, factionalist, short-sighted Irishmen. Like other struggling peoples, the Irish nation has its ulcer—spelled lister. But its achievement of blood and tears ought to add ten years to the life of every Irishman everywhere in the round world. We write in Chattanooga. Tenn., and we have just witnessed an Irish woman, poor and unknown, but walking with a military erectness, bragging on Irish blood—with her head in the air and her soul in the clouds, "Oh, these American people," she remarked to a group of colored folk, "they're talking about sending 'missionaries' to Ireland, who are the people they need not to miss the Colored girls they graves." She was referring to John Williams, of Desper County, Georgia, whose poems unwitting dug their own graves, and were then knocked in the head and jushed into it. Colored Americans, the fight has just begun in Georgia and Mississippi; in South Africa and Egypt and India. But take note that Ireland fought for seven centuries; for twenty-eight generations of grown men. They were on the moment when a majority of them came up to free or to die. Their liver, their skin, their tongues choked out; they were burned and hacked and imprisoned and starved. But this did not shake their resolution; it hardened it. It looked as if the last Irishman and Irish woman were resolved to follow Devalera to liberty or death, their enemies knew this. it was enough. They are free. Will President Harding please answer this in his next speech to the South? In Knoxville, Texas, yesterday a dark-skinned Indian woman, named Junita, got on the street car and took her seat up at the farthest front to make sure that she is not put down as Negro. The conductor called the police but the police was called in the court, the judge denied suit, saying that Jim Crow was only for Negroes, for Colored Americans, and that it was not the "intention" of the law to segregate other races. And the judge is right. All this talk about racial integrity is merely camouflage to conceal the real aim: To hold someone against the Negro. The Negro must not be looked at or anybody else on this subject. Equality - he will either be the equal of any other people or will find himself the equal of no other. There can be no kind of equality, unless there are all kinds. And social equality does not mean that a man must marry your sister or daughter or be invited to your dinner parties. If American Negroes can marry with any other people in this equality, they may come here - for all these other peoples mean to assert their equality of humanhood. Even the Chinese will not go down A "Chinaman in China" a g o in jail did not want: to share a cell with a Negro for a much greater crime than that charged against the Negro, still he counted himself at least human being and therefore better that the man whom Mr. Harding has classified as intentionally, as being just little less, fully human. And mind you! that Negro is a Chin- zeed and the Chinaman is not. It would take an act of Congress to even permit a Chinamen to come into this country, and yet a Chinaman counts himself as better than the native-born citizens of color. And the Indian, whom they have never been able to make civilized enough as a group, to admit to citizenship—the Indian, the Indian, the Indian, given anything like proof of identity, civilized men, by fading away before the approach of civilization, even this Indian, at being classed with citizens, who are according to the President, must "fore- count themselves as unfit to associate with other men." A Southern white person in Atlanta, Ga., told me that it would have been better for the American Negro if President Harding had not given his stamp of approval to any kind of segregation and had simply kept his month shut on the question.

CHURCHES The fame of our popular presidents increases with their good work and although the fifteen thousand dollar contest will not close until next April the echo is easily heard. Here is what a few, hard presidents have to say about the outcome: Mr. Robert Putman of the Fisher Board is confident his board will win: but Mr. J. E. Campbell says it is the Stewards that will carry away the honors next April. Mrs. Emma Brafford of the Trustee Auxiliary is not sure her board will win, but is certain of one thing and that is the stewards cannot win. Mrs. R. L. Lewis of the N. L. Smith Club points to her club as an example and says it speaks for itself. Mrs. Lewis has been president of the N. L. Smith Club only a short while. They made an excellent report last church conference. Mrs. McHane of the Willing Workers Club is a president that believes it will smile and when it comes to smiling, is about the nearest rival of Mrs. Sarah Farish of the Good Samaritan Club. Mr. R. Perk of the Willing Workers Club is receiving several new members. Mrs. N. L. Smith is a captain in the Good Samaritan Club and is working untruly. It was through the good work of Mrs. Smith that the illustrated pictures of the crucifixion were shown a short while ago. Mr. Elmer E. Phelps is filled with modern ideas. He has several new teachers and says it will not be impossible for the Sunday School to win next April. A capacity house is expected next Thursday night, the 22 when the Hon. Victor Miller of the Police Board will speak at a musical program given by the Steward Board Prof. R. H. Cole will also speak. ALPHA-OMEGA C. M. E. CHURCH 100-104 The program Rev. Larry C.

MOUNROYA, Africa, Dec. 7 — The tremendous possibilities before the Race in Afrien and the vast work to be done, were graphically set forth recently by Bishop M. W. Clair of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Describing the conditions which he found on his arrival from the United States and on a tour made of the Liberian coast Bishop Clair said to an Associated Negro Press representative: "In a six weeks tour I visited our stations along the coast, starting from Harper, Carp Palumas. A multitude of duties and the irregularity of stenometers made it impossible. Go to the exact location of our arrival in Harper, reason the people had suggested to the Boarding Master that he request the Captain of the ship to give one long, loud blast of the stenography whistle as a signal of our arrival in port. "The journey from Moultrough to Harper is about 18 hours. Standing on the deck as the ship steamed into harbor we caught a glimpse of the beautiful Cape with its long arm stretching far out into the mighty ocean as if defying it to make further approach upon the silent shore, while the angry waves raided and tossed dashing themselves against this rocky fortress demanding an inflict. How significant is the greatness of God! His power was there unfolding—one silent, stern, immovable—the other surging, fighting, battling; each fulfilling its own place in the diving order of things. "As soon as the Boarding Master had finished his duties we were off for this shore where we were most cordially welcomed by Rev. E. A. Price, District Superintendent and a host of good people who had so quickly responded to the ship's signal. A few days later we were joined by the other members of the party—Dr. J. H. Reed, Centenary Organizer; Rev. W. Lt. Turner, Dean of Stokes Bible and Training School; Rev. aid Mrs. J. G. Patsen who recently arrived from the United States to take up work in Sasssown. "The Cape Palm Seminary is doing a spendid work under the principal ship of Rev. J. J. Lynch. A modern and more spacious building is needed to give advenience to the many demands made upon it. "The Day School among the Nationals is taught in the Trustee Chapel. It is also doing a good work. Plans are on foot for a new church edifice. May God prosper these ardent believers in this effort. "Mr. Scott stands as the second church in the Conference. Here we found a faithful, progressive congregation. I was greatly impressed with the effort made on the part of the Nationals as well as the Liberals in their attempts to further the interest of the Kingdom. "Our next point was about Xilles up the coast—Grenada Mission Manlands in Hull superbly decent. We earlier said the number of our missionaries may not be large and could be the most important mission we have ever worked for."

The line of travel led through five towns. The first stop, for just a short rest was Middletown. The people expressed much interest and curiosity in our party. Their friendly greeting and enthusiasm were inspiring. In a short time we picked up the trail for Fishstown where we spent the night. The rest in Fishstown refreshed the party for the continuation of the journey to Garnaway. "It will be interesting to note how quickly messages travel without means of modern inventions. We did not enter a single town unaware, in fact for the most part, we were met several miles from the town by a band of people singing and bidding us welcome. It is wonderful how knew travel without a band of workers and school children met us about two miles from Garraway and led us to the church. It was crowded with anxious faces beaming with joy. Many of them had come from the outlying stations the day before. (To Be Continued Next Week) NEGRO REPORTS TO METHODIST/BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS NEGRO REPORTS TO METHODIST/BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—The report of the Reverend Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Director of the Bureau of Negro Work, of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of Methodist Episcopal Church, read at the annual meeting of that body in Philadelphia during the first week of December, was enthusiastically received. At frequent intervals through the report of secretary Hughes, who is himself a man of Negro blood, the Board applauded. This is the first time Dr. Hughes has appeared before this body to represent the bureau of Negro Work of the Church, which was created a year ago at the annual meeting of 1920. Previous to that time Dr. Hughes was Area Secretary of the New Orleans Area of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has spoken with large audiences of Negroes in many parts of the country and is regarded as one of the most brilliant of the younger leaders of the race. He received a number of votes for Bishop at the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Des Moines, Iowa, May, 1920, in spite of his youth. Reviewing the work of the Negro Bureau during the past year Dr. Hughes featured the rural schools provided by the Methodist Episcopal Church for Negro rural pastors. Theses come from all of the twenty Negro Conferences of the denomination to study for several weeks in thesummer to Wiley College, Marshall, Tex., Galena Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., and Maysville College, Baltimore, Md. Here they both theoretical and practical instruction in solving the problems instructed by a rural minister. Dr. Hughes gave a number of specific instances showing the remarkable advance achieved by many Negro ministers after this short period of care instruction. He mentioned, Gonzalez affliction Gonzales, Texas, where one of the school graduates the Reverend J. M. L. Edwards has raised the money to buy sixty acres of land and is conducting a demonstration home garden that has crossed the color line and attracted the attention and support of the entire community. The Sykesville District, Sykesville Md., doubled its church membership in a single year and increased its financial income than twice over in a short time after the minister, the Reverend L. B. Miller, had received instruction. During 1921, twenty-two Rural Societies were organized under the administration of Dr. Hughes. Farmers institutes are held in conjunction with schools and third quarterly conferences in district colleges are in touch. More than 3,500 Associates mining section in Kentucky with only a single small church was discovered by Dr. Hughes who has succeeded in establishing a second one in that region since taking office. A Negro City philanthropy society has been organized for the undertaking members of the rural community. The Society meets weekly.

To Negro Communities recently formed in the South, Dr. Hughes covered twenty-five communities of Negroes in which there are no churches at all, and he is building every effort to organize Methodist churches in these places.

LANE TABERNACL The sterling preaching of Rev. Tho. Parrish who spoke last Sunday morning in the absence of Rev. N. L. Smith, brought joy and happiness to a packed house at this hour which included members, friends, visitors, and strangers. Rev. Parrish, partly by virtue of a superior subject, but also because of a great sincerity, in preaching the gospel, made a deep impression upon the great congregation Sunday morning a lesson from the grass, was the subject used by the speaker. Christians and grass are very much alike he said, leastwise neither could be kept down. Rev. Parrish used grass to show neckness such as should dominate the heart of every Christian Green grass brings a message of life he said, appling up from everywhere and under the most peculiar circumstances. It is God's silent message of resurrection. The result of this good message was, what might be expected, an overjoyed congregation. Rev. N. L. Smith our pastor will be present and speak this Sunday morning. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright 1911 Western Newspaper Union Copyright, 1921. Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 18 PAUL'S LAST WORDS. LESSON TEXT-II Tim, 6:1-13 GOLDEN TEXT-I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith-II Tim, 4:7. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Close of a Victorious Life. HOURS IN INTERNEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC HOURS IN TRUMP YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Lessons for Today From the Life of Paul. 1. Paul's View of Death (v. 6). Set forth in two metaphors: 1. An Offering (v. 6). "I am ready to be offered." This specifically meant a drink offering—a libation. The shedding of his blood was to be an offering poured out upon the sacred altar as an act of worship. Death can only be an offering to God when the life has been wholly yielded to the doing of God's will. This was preeminently true of Paul, for he could say, "For to me to live is Christ" (Phil. 1:21). 2 A Departure (v. 6). "The time of my departure is at hand." The same idea is expressed in Philippians 1:23. "Departure" is a nautical term which signifies the loosening of a ship from its moorings. In order to enter upon its voyage. It is not the end of the voyage, but its beginning. II. Paul's Backward Glance at Life (v. 7). This backward look is presented in three figures: 1. "I have fought a good fight." The figure here is that of a soldier. The Christian life is a warfare of difficulties, conflicts, dangers and temptations. As a soldier, the Christian must fight and overcome all these. 2. "I have finished my course." The figure is that of an athlete who sets out to win a race. The Christian life is a race to be run; we must not only begin the race, but persistently run to the end. 3. "I have kept the faith." The figure is that of a husbandman to whom had been entrusted a treasure. This treasure was the Christian faith. He was conscious of having been faithful to the trust committed. He had many temptations to give it up, but to the end maintained his fidelity of his vow to Christ. III. Paul's Forward Look to the Future (v. 8). This is a beautiful picture of calm confidence at the end of a period of faithful service. Though knowing that death was awetting him, there was no dark cloud before him, because the glory of a completed task rested upon him. 1. He saw before him a life with God. Fellowship with God is a prize greatly to be desired. 2. A prize laid up—A crown of righteousness. This award will be given at the coming of the Lord to all who love His appearing. IV. Paul's Associates (vv. 9-12). 1. Demas, the renegade (v. 10). Demas has become immortalized as one who was religious, but because of the attractions of the world he went after it. The love of the world caused him to turn his back upon principle, friendship, honor and duty. 2. Luke, the faithful (v. 11). Perhaps he was the best fitted of all to minister unto Paul. Luke was faithful whether in shipwreck, imprisonment, journeying by land and sea. 3. Mark, the restored runaway (v. 11). Mark had gone back, but he was restored. Though we have failed, we can redeem ourselves and become trustworthy. V. Personal Matters (vv. 13-18). 1. Bring the cloak, books and parchments (v. 13). In the fall the cloak would be needed for his comfort. The books and parchments would be needed for his study and writing. 2. Alexander, the coppersmith (vv. 14, 15). We have no way of determining when this deed was committed. It was given as a warning to Timothy. 3. Defended by the Lord though forsaken by men (vv. 16-18). Paul in his last trying hours was much like his Lord—left alone. He says, "All men forsook me." It was said of Christ, "They all forsook Him and fief." Paul manifests like spirit, "I pray God that it might not be laid to their charge." Christ said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Though it was wrong for them to leave Him alone, He not only forgave them, but prayed that the Lord might forgive them. Paul had so completely lived for Christ, and his fellowship with Him was so complete, that he was alone in this' dreadful hour. Finding Joy. There are souls in the world who have the gift of finding, joy everywhere, and leaving it behind them when they go. Their influence is an inevitable gladening of the heart. They give light without meaning to shine. Their bright hearts have a great work to do for God.—Frederick W. Faber.

Says It Has Retarded Success Of League And Is Most Deplorable. This Is the Second Of A Series Of Interesting Articles By The President of the National Negro Baseball League. In Subsequent issuess the Following Subjects Will Be Discussed: "Colored Payball Players As I Know-Them," and "Colored Loving Them." PAGE TWELVE Why Color Man President Of National Neg Owners Of Teams, Wh Managers Really Man Success Of League And This Is The Second Of A Series of the National Negro Baseball Leag Subjects Will Be Discussed: "Colored "Colored Umpires." By Andrew It would not be hard to point out all of the mistakes made that have caused many owners of colored baseball a failure. They have failed to learn the fundamental principles that would assure success in any undertaking. Owners would have been more success, had they inaugurated a business system to the handling of the affairs of the club, secured a man to manage their affairs, and let the success of failure rest upon the management of the manager. The failure to do this has been caused their success and their success experience lax, proven the count of their baseball knowledge. If you will take all the baseball clubs and their owners from California la to Maine it will be surprising to know that only three men who own or control colored hall clubs in the United States know anything about baseball its freshness to be placed in rules governing the ability of players to own hundreds of base clubs owned and controlled by colored men any player that they can secure to handle their club knows far more than the owners. The fans in the different cities, politically talk that any man that owns a ball club knows more about it than any one on the club and when any attorney is asked they go to the owner and register their criticisms. The owner will go, the manager and when what he knows about the manager, in order to the club fries to do the thiefs the owner wishes, knowing at the same time that it is wrong; this is why we have such little success in handling the clubs. We have several snugt players that would be a success as managers were they allowed to use their own ideas. With the exception of U. I. Taylor and myself, with the exception of other men connected with baseball as managers, that have access to everything pertaining to the club in its playing. Our success has been due to our ability to run our clubs as we see it. Owners Do Not Know There are many men of all kinds of business who are good salesmen but not good buyers; there are also men in baseball who are good judges of baseball players but haven't the ability to direct them. The majority of the present owners today awe such little knowledge of baseball players that in organizing a baseball team the first thing they set out to do is obtain players of whom the papers speak most and herald astars; they never consider habits, position, force of character nor ability, all they wish is the man the people have a star. When a player has the low town he evinces that he will know less baseball than he will not know the instruction from him; they order in order to keep the good will of but permits him to knock club rules and players the restrictions; fines and the like upon the young players of the club. No one can hope for success following such examples. Owner's Judgment Deplorable With the weaknesses *above mentioned of our owner, one marvel at the success we have accomplished. When the star players wish to be transferred to another club and the owners want them they can go to the owners and make their own terms. When the owner misplays his own rights he will impatient make the money for which he has contracted. It is compulsory in our circuit for each owner to deposit one thousand dollars; the amount of money covers the obligation of the club in the league and guarantees to the players any salary due them. Several clubs in the circuit have run their indebtedness up to such an extent that it is easy to pay off same wages. The association is particularly the case of St. Louis, several owners of clubs now want to continue in the league but do not think it advisable to keep up the deposit; such steps if allowed would disband the organization. There are but a few ball players who would accept positions with owners unless we guarantee them their money. The owners want to make big messes, messy messes, abusive, warrant sine they are ready to jump down and make them accept and consideration they are able to offer. I would never be a party to such things as these are differential. As, owner of a ball club should first establish the contractual obligations for the season, by aside a surplus to meet anything that may arise, as poor attendance, bad weather, etc., put this money aside not to teach for any other than the prescribed things it was intended for. If they do this they will not offer contracts in excess of what they can afford to pay. Follow those rules, and be able to look the players in the face, meet their obligations, when they are due and establish a stable enterprise. I know of one club, that had contracts with the players for a salary exceeding three thousand dollars per month aside from the incident expenses in operating a club whose name was marked "insufficient funds." We now have checks from a corporation that has bought a bad pack coating fifty thousand dollars; ball clubs have gone to this place and played; the man did not have enough money at the park to pay the guarantee and gave a check for the amount due; said check was deposited and returned, marked "No sufficient funds." These actions are attracting beyond measure, and we are going to light the people. It is just there as that has made much "Rube" Foster priestry for me to appeal to a business set of men to take and cars for baseball clubs in their cities. ..... Why Managers Fall The failures or our managers have been the main reasons for their limitations to try to make good with the owner instead of forcing the owner to accept them on their ability to either make good or fall. Having to accept positions as manager under these conditions as status managers, management fathers. This is what they brand as being unsuccessful. No man like any business being appointed manager of a baseball club where the players know so much more than the manager that ideas cannot coincide with his. We have some of our leading baseball clubs of the country managed by men who cannot either read or write; some men have reached the fourth grade in school while others on the same club have played for years, graduated from college, or met these players playing ability; national advancing of such men is the command of such management. This is rare and any owner who tolerates such it is easy to fathom his knowledge of baseball business. Ignorance can never predominate over untellible gendit and it is insoluble to try. How To Manage a Club Managing a baseball club requires brains, patience, endurance, and an open mind to deal with all the players. You have had all the temperamental stars the majority of all the great ball players that have played baseball in the past sixteen years and have yet to find a player that is hard to manage. I have not had one to discover any instruction given him. To be frank and honest all of my players baseball a'. If they had no mind of me they would do anything to do that I have sent them to do what take chances when conditions were such that it appeared like suicide to take the chance yet they have gone willingly without fear, and nine times out of ten it brought their success. These things were reached by the players playing under me being taught willingly without fear, and nine times out of ten it was the best thing for do. They learned in trying to do the thing I requested or what they think would be the most pleasing to me. This undefied their success. Our player, are trained before the season begins. We have meetings and many of the things we do are the thoughts and advice of the players on our clubs. In establishing any system of play at all of the men go over system of play at all of the men go over discussion it from every imaginable point, just what should be done to each player sometimes spend two weeks discussing play with out reaching a decision. Give ideas along with theirs but when we reach a decision whether it is their or my idea as to how a play is to be done we agree upon the same and it is binding. I oftimes accept the idea of our player, when they are against my utter judgment. I would wait until this play came up and when the player was made we would call a meeting and show them why I allowed them to use my judgment and why I did not think they should have been made as they agreed. Their I changed same to my way of thinking and they agreed with me that it was the best. I did not do it in a way to make them feel badly, but merely stated I had tried their way and would like to have them try my way. Their reply would be, "Abright Chief, we will try to make the play as best." They try it and when I see that they reached a degree of success they reach for another play I call another meeting. At this meeting I state that we have tried both wars and ask them if they want to use their method or else; that answer is always; "the way you suggested." This has been my way of gaining the confidence of all of the players and accents for their willingness to accept them out for my misplays only on the plays we have discussed and agreed upon now they should be played. This course is followed in all the classes. We discuss each rule and go so far as we ask the different impuses who offer the answer we play their interpretation of the offertor rules and plays. We get their interpretation and if it does not agree with our system of playing we play the play as interpreted by the umpire. I never send a man to but to do anything that we have not rehearsed at least a session with that man. When a new man comes on the club he never signals or any instructions what to do. I tell the player and it is understood between all of the players on our side anything he can do or think should be done to 20 ahead and do it. After the 20 we pick out all of the things he has done can fit into our system of plays, school him on these points and he becomes a valuable man to us. I study my players to such an extent that I never send them up to do anything other than the thing I know they can do best under the conditions I am playing. I make pitcher's pitch under instructions in all crisis, direct the ball where it is to be thrown, with what notion, how high or how low and how far from the plate; the minute this sign is flashed to the pitcher he throws the ball with so much ease and confidence that he can pitch before him. We have pitchers to come up who have their own ideas about pitching about playing another position. I give them to be hit all over the field. Lord players to make him THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 16. 1921 cross mistakes without comment they have them come to me and ask what is wrong, that whatever they throw they hit it. My answer to them is that they don't know how to pitch. This makes some of our stars off their feet. They say that they would not say that to me, but instead why don't I show them how to pitch. My answer from their reputation I thought they were not to pitch, and that anything that I may say to them no doubt. However I agree to tell them what I may know about pitching and that they may try it out. I practice with him and show him. I even take him out and let him watch all the bitters hit, show him their weaknesses, and tell him when he pitches again to try these out and when in doubt to look over to me and that I will tell him how to pitch. This is how we see all the players on my team to get a signal as to the best thing to do for him will ever be able to successfully manage a baseball club that doesn't manage a club along these lines. I associate with my players. I go help their homes, study their dispositions and habits, find out the things that appeal to them most. If the places they frequent are bad, I go there in them, make a habit of frequenting them, make this sort regularly. When they go to them, I have been there if it is not the proper place they discontinue going. In this way I have broken up many of their bad habits. If they like whiskey, I buy it for them and after they have taken one or two drinks, I say, "Don't let this ruin you." I further inform them that they may can drink and think separately. I hope they won't be whiskey intolerant with their work, that I drink it but don't let it interfere with my work. One would think that one doing such things would lose the respect of their men but I know of no man who has the respect of their men that will surrender to them. I receive from the tall players. If they have any bad ass situation and they cannot interact with me, whether it is in a basketball game or on the street they go to their company and say, "Lookout, here come someone, be careful how you act and what you say." They either call me Rube, "Chief," Jack. It would help our managers to study this system.

I do not consider nor do I wise to shift men who have been playing one position in the line like that of a guard or tackle or vice versa. The first eleven is undableable. Lincoln University wins three places. Howard Piskel, five and, Hampton, Wilberforce and Virginia one each. I believe this team will meet the approval of the great majority of football fans. Remember, an all-American is, in my mind, the selection of an all-star eleven according to the best judgment and in the spirit of fair play and justice. Phone: Olive 12E-W Miller L.

Dec. 7 — During the past week, the members of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs have been active in educational work in their respective communities. The following are some of the questions asked as a working basis: What are you or your organization doing, and what can it do to promote the use of our schools, public, or private; kindergarten, primary grammar, high school; rural schools; continuation courses? 11. Are you or your organization doing anything to promote better attendance in the schools, looking to a 100 per cent attendance in the colored schools all over the country? 11. How can we make the public school community centre for all organized interests, keeping the school open and useful seven days a week, 12 hours a day? 11. How can we utilize our efforts towards getting a longer school term for Colored children in those sections of the country where the colored schools do not have as a term as the white schools? $ V. What can we do to make the positions of teachers more desirable in rural communities, especially, and in the communities by standing behind the teachers? VI. Have you a Parent-Teacher organization in your community? If not, why not? If you have, such an organization, ts lively, active, doing what it can to make the work of th chore and the teacher. If you have no such organization, what can not do your part as club women to further organization? VIL...What are you and your club doing to promote, interest in race literaturs and history? In every home the literature and history of their literature and history of their and in every school as well. Where co-operation with the various Boards of Education and the women's clubs is possible books, should be placed in school libraries, and teachers urged to forward distilling race fields. Where such books are possible, means should be defined to familiarize Colored children with the facts about their own people.
