BOY AS CONST DELEGA Wins Over Five White Candi Eugene Field School M Stand Together For Race men Frank Slater, Gabe F Promises And Support Co In a livey contest Friday evening December 23 at Engine Field School, Prof. B. F. Bowles was nominated delegate to the Constitutional Convention, from the 32nd Senatorial District, which meets next year to make a new constitution for the state, Mr. Bowles won over four competitors all white, who entered the race for honor. But the Colored people of the city in the Constitutional Convention because they had hoped for race representation in the Convention, and the 32nd District which has the largest Negro population of any in the state was the only hope. How Interstit Was Created Early last summer Representative Walthall M. o.More, called a meeting at the Y. M. C. A., where the matter was discussed, not being satisfied with the matter up with the Republican City Central Committee, which resulted in that body going on record as favoring Negro representation as a matter of right and Justice. Subsequently the Missouri Negro Republican League Club became interested in the matter and worked to get representation in the Constitutional Convention. Nothing however, was done in a concerted way on the part of the Colored people until Thurs. April in manpower at the oracle Baptist Church, when Prof. B. F. Bowles was unanimously endorsed as the Negro's choice as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. *Matthews Make Nominating Speech* At the Engle Field School where the mass convention was held, it was found that the Negro to the man was preyed to by the white people as a menace.

Moore Receives First Copy, For Inspection Will Have Flight For Distribution Secretary of State Charles U. Recker favored State Representative Walthall M. Moore of this city with the first copy seat into this city of the state as a Christmas gift and our Representative is probably showing his first copy of the Centennial number sent into this city of the first copy of the Missouri Fine Book Secretary Recker will forward Representative Moore with fifty copies of the Blue Book to be distributed during the next week or ten days and those who desire a copy should immediately file written application with their representative. The 1921-1922 Blue Book contains much historical data and will prove to be very valuable to those fortunate enough to secure a copy. In addition to a complete historical calendar of Missouri events of the past one hundred years will be found intertwined throughout the book references to persons and events connected with the century of Statehood of this great commonwealth. The Blue Book was compiled under the direction of Secretary of State Charles U. Recker, by Charles W. Foster of Joplin. A picture of Walthall M. Moore appears with the regular official group of representatives, he being the first and only member of his race to be so honored by the people of the state. THE POST DISPATCH XMAS FESTIVAL IS BRILLIANT AFFAIR The Christmas Festival given at the Coliseum last Monday by the Post-Dispatch and the Brilliant affair. It was brilliant from the point of the part played by the participants on the program, and by the spirit of good fellowship which pryvalled throughout the exercises. This was the most democratic gathering that has been seen in St. Louis in many a day. This affair being at the Coliseum, felt a little slack of the real spirit of the occasion despite the fact that it was advertised to the contrary. But once there, one soon forgets that he is at the Coliseum. There is no discrimination on account of race, creed or color. The children white and black tie with each other for vantage points, but the rule of first come, first serve was observed the notice on duty were apparently kind to everyone, and the presence of a little Negro boy or girl in line didn't seem to anyone now hatred in these saloons as in other occasions. There were no clapping and ringing of the big mule and the sound of The St. Louis Argus derman, made the nominating speech which brought Prof Bowles' name officially before the body. Committeemen's Support Notwithstanding the fact that the Negroes were united, there was little hope of putting their man over with support of the Committee of the District of the least part of the Committee. This, it was soon discovered, and a count showed that Committeemen Frank Shater, of the Seventeenth Ward; Bobby Moore of the Seventeenth Ward, and Gaby Roth of the Fifth Ward were string supporters of Mr. Bowles. Having this assurance Mr. Bowles' election was certain. When the vote was taken, Mr. Bowles received 109 votes whereas, his nearest competitor, Mrs. Moore, received 65. There was some anxiety on the part of the Negroes in the district as to whether Committeemen Moore, Shater and Roth would support a Negro, but when it came to a "show down" these men were there, tried, yet (true to their promises). While some criticism has been made of their action by the daily papers, has only served to cause the Negroes to sing their praises the harder. In the past, the public elicited art now saying it looks like hurrying the hatchet on the part of the warring factions of the Seventeenth Ward. Proof Bowles is a man of sterling character; well versed in the issues of the day and a lover of his race. He has spent two years in the study of law, and was an able assistant to Mr. Moore during the regular session of the Fifty-first General Assembly of the Missouri Legislature; and is at present a deputy jury commissioner of this city. seven hundred children taking part. It was a real Christmas treat. "The Santa Luigi Harvey" in muk- ging his rounds during the exercises gave special attention to a group of elephants that he trained in a pro- gram. He not only cordially greeted them, but shook the hand of one in their number COLORED GIRLS' HOME UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Special to the Argus, TIPTON, Mo., Dec. 27—Mrs. M. J. Coynting of Louisiana, Mo., was recently appointed Matron of the Industrial Home at Tipton, by Governor Arthur M. Hyde. She succeeds Mrs. Dolly Stevens of Hannibal, who was appointed by former Governor Frederick Gardner. She is the wife of Chas. Coynting, who is well known in political circles of the state.

TENTH ANNIVERSARY WHEATLEY BRANCH "Y.W." ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1921 COLORED GIRL AND WHITE MAN DROWN CRISFIELD, Md. December—What was Miss Mimie Sterling, colored, aged 21, doing in a Ford sedan with William Ward, white, aged 40? 107 This is the question that is agitating the minds of a number of Christfield people. The couple was caught like rats in a trap when the closed automobile in which they were riding plunged through an open draw in the Jersey bridge in Crissfield barber at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night of last week. The bridge was open about twelve feet in order to allow a vessel to pass through. Albert Whittington, white, stained in the bridge, saw the automobile and shot it and set in an effort to stop them. Ward paid no attention to him, but instead hastened the speed of the car to twenty miles per hour. The car and its occupants plunged through the open open into the ten feet of water below.

CHURCH TRUSTEES QUIT BISHOP PARKS BLAMED Entire Board Resign. As Protest Against Bishop's Ruling. Rumored That Class Leaders Are To Follow. KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dec. 28—The Trustees of Allen Chapel James H. Crews, Edw. Lewis, Elmer Dosson, Dr. T. C. Cuthank, Chas. H. Calloway, Bruce Walker, W. M. Ballard and George Tecters, most of whom have been connected with the official life of Bishop for many years, have sent in their resignation. The Trustees were mummious in their demand upon Bishop Parks for a change in the pastorship of Allen and to them the Bishop had made a sacred vow that he would carry out their wishes. They claim that the Bishop since making the promise has evaded meeting them and that he has treated them in such a contemptuous manner that they can no longer officially admit that they have no respect for their self respect. Many of them are most bitter in their condemnation of the Bishop whom they say they can no longer respect as a man of truth and reliability. They do not believe that it has been "physically impossible" as the Bishop claims to find a successor for Rev. Isaacs but that the real difficulty has been that no church could be found that the selected pastor of Allen met that the Bishop agrees sacrificing the church rather than removing its incumbent pastor. The Trustees also feel that if the wisdom of Rev. Isaacs is to be the basis upon which the Bishop is to rely, for the welfare of the local church that the official staff should be chosen from the ranks of the pastor's loyal following rather than from those who have lost all confidence and authority. The Class leaders feel about the same way, at least a priority of them and the next week will find many of the old leaders absent from their old places. The Leaders say that Rev. Isaacs ignores their official positions. That he has several times intimated that they were dishonest and that he attempts to place upon them the responsibility of parochial work which they should himself perform. That Rev. Isaacs should have a full sway, now that the Bishop has set his stamp of approval upon him, and that they cannot consciously serve under him any longer. Practically all the ushers will also cease their services. These volunteer workers who in the past have rendered such valuable aid to the services have been under the constant hectorings of the critical pastor. They say that they have several times been convened and "bailed out" by Rev. Isaacs for shortcomings which he could not even make plain and that they are weary of his insolent domination. —K. C. Sun. Inskegee Receives Bequest From Colored Friend TUNKEGEE, Ala., Dec. 28—Principal Moton announced recently that he had received notice that the late Mrs. Betty Williams of Elmongon, New Jersey, has recently died leaving a will which provided for Tuskegee Institute to receive from her estate approximately $2,500.

Christmas Cantata To Be Repeated At All Saints By general request the Christmas cantata, "The Coming Of The King," will be presented Sunday morning at 10 a.m. Those who will hear it will be invited to be with the music and the way he is treated by the staff. Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 28—The political "Flag of Truth" has been raised during the holidays. But with the ching of the 'new Year' beds the screeching of the whistles and dring of the "Big Births" there promises to be some real scaring about. First and foremost will be the disposition of the Dyer bill. There is every reason to believe that the Republicans are determined to put the bill "heros." Democratate opposition promises to rival little in the final vote. From the House, from the House, from the House, the Antifederal bill goes to the Senate. It will probably have certain opposition there, but the Republicans, and several Democrats, have determined that such measure shall be passed. With the passage of the anti-lynch President Harling will imminent; bill, there is no question but what make lynching a Federal crime. It is known that the Department of Justice has been active in encouraging the passage of a bill against lynching and there is every reason to believe that Attorney General Daugherty's Department will lynch the bill that the law is faithfully carried out. The question is that the law is sSM. The question of constitutionality has been carefully looked into, and the general opinion is that the law is constitutional, but even that, it is argued, the United States Supreme Court is established for the purpose of passing on the constitutionality of law. The general political policies to seize all other national pastimes during the period of 1922. Elections in the fall, from one end of the country to the other, will have great bearing on the events to follow in 1924. It has been discovered by Administration internals and also by the general party organization, that successfully function, there must be a practical side of politics. As a matter of fact, regardless of sentiment, that is one reason why the pro-Paly-Lynch movement will be passed. The Democratic Congressmen are charging that the passage of the measure is to "pay a political debt." There are none to deny this. The question is asked, however, "Is it not thought to be about time for the Republican Party to pay some of its political debts?" These debts have piled up from all sides, but on no site have they piled higher than that they have paid. The debt of the deft paving obligation has been weakly neglected by the Republican organization. One is reminded of the manner in which the South, for the most part, distributes its municipal benefits. Pavil street, sewer, electric lights, watergas, and all the other blessings of modern civilization, are distributed freely among the whites but the darker members of the communities are compelled to wage through such urban, spring and travel down the long boardwalks of their back yards to the comfort stations. Representative. Campbell, on the floor of the House, declared that passing the Dyer Bill. Congress is facing the issue on a subject that cannot longer be skilleted. And there is the crux. Because Congress, and organizations, has addressed all of the issues and questions affecting the relationship between blocks and whites in the United States, conditions today are as they are; but truly and rightly, the time has come when "Somebody must pay." The day of foreclosure is at hand. Millions know what that day is—it is the day of reckoning. "We must stem the onward march of the civilizing forces of the world," 1922? It will be the year "of years." NEW YEAR SERVICES AT PARRISH CHAPEL Bishop N. C. Cleaves to Preach The New Year's Sermon at 11 a. m.

THIS YEAR HAS MEANT MUCH TO DARKER RACES Declaration Has Been Made Throughout Entire World That Darker People Will Contend For Equal Justice And Uncompromising Opportunity To Live And Let Live. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL. Dec. 20. Again we are here in need of a New Year. The events of 1921 are now a matter of record. It is well, at this time each year, to reflect over the treat of events to take stock, so to speak, and clear the desk for the next period of time. What has 1921 meant to the darker people of the world? Never has there been a period in modern history where the darker people of the world have more clearly asserted themselves, and acquainted the white race throughout the world with the darker people everywhere will rightly contend for equal justice and uncompromising opportunity to live and let live. The Pan-African Conference, held in Europe, during the summer, served a very notable manner to emphasize the growth of world-wide racial consciousness, and the keen interest of the authors now under white control, in seeking to comprehend every native desired to combine dark people into a gigantic miracle if not physical force. The unanticipated unfairness of whites across throughout the world in dealing with people of darker hue, with two or three exceptions, has developed the antipathy and suspicion to a degree unheard of before. The most thoughtful of these exceptions has been the white people, over greatly concerned. If not alarmed, over the state of affairs and many of them are proposing conciliatory programs that are being studied very minutely. Leaders among darker people, throughout the world, even the most conservative, are not discouraging the development and expression of principles through an equal compass, while the radicals know no bounds in their denunciations and proposals. **Newspaper Development** In the United States of America, the development, growth and acknowledged power of the newspapers published within the group, have become so objectionable that an equal compass is within and without the group (the periodicals are sought and read t友 friend and foe alike). President Warren G. Harding, himself a newspaper man, has given unprecedented study and recognition to racial newspapers through the Associated Negro Press. On several occasions the leaders of the press have interested in the growth of our newspapers, and has given his official word of encouragement to the potency of the press. Daily newspapers, throughout the country have quoted and commented on editorials in our newspapers; they have sought to be fairer in the dissemination of editorial opinion and illustrations. The "training habit" of American Negroes developed more than 200 per cent in the last five years, and at least 20 per cent in the depressing year of 1921, when there has been so much unemployment. The Associated Negro Press is a source of the people in the profession, within and without it, as the standard accredited news service of our people. Such a position is naturally guarded with greatest care and "impartial service to all at all times" is the watchword of progress. Other outstanding facts, in the realm of printed development, are the large number of magazines that have in one way and another used the Negro and his problems for subjects. The spirit of the Negro is patriotic and affectionate. There have been several books, by our own and white authors, dealing with racial life. It is important to state that the percentage of whites who read all of the various contributions is easily keeping pace, and in some instances surpasses that of the Colored people themselves. The printed word, therefore, in the newspapers mainly, but otherwise also, is not only as the silent but at mighty force in the racial matters, and the promise of the future is more power and greater achievements. Matters Political Politically, in 1921, Colored Americans have demonstrated astounding observation, activity and independence. The "inexpected" has happened in widely different sections of the country. Colored Americans have torn away from the Democratic leadership upon the Republican party. This has been due to disappointment in the trend of national politics, but was certainly accentuated by the "official release," given the race by President Harding during his Birmingham address. For the first time since he became a citizen of the Negro community, a certain quantity as a political factor. The skepticism of political leaders who claim to "know the Negro," that he "would take money from the Democrats for work, and vote under the eagle," was convincingly dispelled by the Norwegian in York City, where in some compartments the eagle is right to one of the Democrats. New York is unquestionably typical of the feeling of the masses throughout the entire country, careful investigations by the Associated Negro Press disclose. The bank and the of Colored Americans have been the ones who will heedward these goals to that party or individual providing the best government, and the resulting of the results will be assured.

To our definite knowledge at least 60 per cent of these are very recent developments. Even the big Negro News Service bureau; the Associated Negro Press, has seen fit to establish in New York, Chicago and two southern cities representatives of a department charged with securing amusement news of their people. "All of this means more widespread publicity for the really competent artist, a closer relation with a more sympathetic public, and the encouragement so necessary to any performer, if he expects to achieve his greatest possibilities." Thus writes J. A. Jackson, editor of "The Page" in the Billboard (Xmas Number) the leading theatrical magazine of the country.

It is a gigantic undertaking, but in keeping with the progress of nation-wide journalism. 2. A Jackson is not only master of his department in the Billboard but enjoys the reputation of being fair with everyone from the most humble to the highest. Therefore, his news is always without bias.

AS WE LOOK INTO THE dark future, we fall back upon our faith to cheer us along, as we anticipate the traveling of the unknown paths. In thinking of the future we all anticipate what will be ours: What we will, or will not do during the coming year. Most of us set our ideals and the goal which we hope to reach. And in order to bind ourselves to a certain task, some of us make resolutions. All of these are good and ought to be. But if we are to go forward we must get out of the old rut. We must not be content to travel in the beaten paths of yesterday; we have been too long trotting in a cabbage head. AS WE APPROACH the New Year and anticipate all its possibilities, let each heart seize upon the faith that is within ourselves, and strike out, blazing the way, new paths, that we may find ourselves in the place in God's Universe where we may measure up to the fullest of our manhood and womanhood. LET WE ARE TO MAKE resolutions, let us resolve first of all to be men; let us take upon ourselves the responsibilities of men; let us resolve to be satisfied with nothing less, than a man's part in the affairs of state or nation. LET US HAVE a little more faith in our fellowmen. Let us teach the youth of the race to love his own and always feel that it is no disgrace to be black. IN GOING FORWARD let us take along a panacea that will cure many of our ills and misunderstandings, and that antidote is; Faith, Courage, Hope and Charity. POST DISPATCH FESTIVAL: WHEN WE.SAW the large gathering at the Coliseum last Monday and witnessed the spirit of democracy which prevailed, we thought to ourselves that the Post. Dispatch should manage all the big affairs at the Coliseum where the public is concerned. SAW the large gathering at the messed the spirit of democracy yourself that the Post.

OTERS OF THIS affair are to static spirit which dominated the who contributed in a financial aid for having helped the poor charable auspices. WE REGRET TO SAY that this is the first annual festival given by the Post Dispatch which we have ever attended, owing to race prejudice which generally characterizes such gatherings. But not so with the Post-Dispatch. ASIDE FROM THE distribution of presents to the children, regardless of race or color, a program was rendered which was well worth while. Anyone who loves art and music would have been proud t owitness it. THE PROMOTERS OF THIS affair are to be congratulated upon the democratic spirit which dominated the entire proceedings, and those who contributed in a financial way, have every reason to be proud for having helped the poor children of our city under such favorable auspices. PUSH THE DYER BILL THE PROMISE that the anti-bydoggress will be brought up for each evening of that body after the hepatic optomistic, and hopeful of it being based upon our experiences of it not over. And judging from the theatrical magician influence that the Republican Congress, we cannot in the success of the bill to rail head. REALLY be a calamity to have so near the goal. Yet that has an important legislation. BILL in which we all can be entrusted and work for its success. The answer for themselves is, what legislation? The answer is, we have to vote for it. THE ANTH-LYNCHING BILL Star. I to follow the reasoning of Rep. Billy in his strictures on the Dyer for trials in mob cases before for communities where the outrages in the heads of a few Negroes, some way, they will be less subject against women if the government an increase of such crimes would obviously like to make it in the South are murdered by. That is not true. The records she from trees and shot fun of leading at officers, killing white men, for which a white man gets at the most. Does it increase crime to have mob murders rather than in the circuit court. Garrett but he, unconsciously, immunity for lynching mobs, for in northern circuit court means that she has resulted from the hundred in the past few years, even in were involved? Are elected every two or four a would be political suicide in most judge's job is for life and the prior justice without fear of reprisal. Garrett feel that Negroes will be liberation of the fact that a mob to while a jury which hangs theming, but it is the most charitable on Mr. Garrett's remarks. The vice powers of a state inviolate a to uphold the law and in the main southern states have failed hideout to step in and put an end to a race as much as it does the city. WE HAVE THE PROMISE that the anti-benching bill which is now before Congress will be brought up for early consideration upon the reconvening of that body after the holidays. While we are optimistic, and hopeful of its passage, yet our better judgment based upon our experiences of the past, tells us that the fight is not over. And judging from the past and remembering as we do the magical influence that those Southern democrats have over a Republican Congress, we can't but advise those who are interested in the success of the bill to rally, rally strong—danger is still ahead. IT WOULD REALLY be a calamity to have the bill fail at this time while so near the goal. Yet that has been the fate of many a piece of important legislation. THIS IS A BILL in which we all can be interested. All good citizens should hope and work for its success. The question that each one may answer for themselves is, what have I done to help in securing this legislation? The answer is, write or telegraph your representative to vote for it. From St. Louis Star. It is difficult to follow the reasoning of Representative Garret of Tennessee in his strictures on the Dyer anti-lynching bill which provides for trials in mob cases before federal courts and for penalties on communities where the outrages take place. When you place the idea in the heads of a few Negroes, says Mr. Garrett that somehow, some way, they will be less subjected to punishment for crimes against women if the government takes a hand you are but inviting an increase of such crimes. Mr. Garrett would obviously like to make it appear that all Negroes lynched in the South are murdered by mobs for crimes against women. That is not true. The records show that Negroes have been swung from trees and shot fun of head or burned at the stake for shooting at officers, killing white men in drunken rows, for crimes, in short, for which a white man gets a few years in the penitentiary at the most. Just how does it increase crime to have mob trials conducted in the federal courts rather than in the circuit courts? We wish to be fair to Mr. Garrett but he, unconsciously no doubt, seems to be seeking immunity for lynching mobs, for immunity is what a trial in a Southern circuit court means in these cases. How many convictions have resulted from the hundreds of lynchings in the cotton belt in the past few years, even in cases where innocent Negroes were involved?

We have been listening with open ears to hear from the big "I ams" since the district convention. When a committee called upon Mayor Kiel a few days ago concurring an appointment, the Mayor very cleverly said: "Gentlemen, I am powerless. See Nat Goldstein and Bobby Moore, maybe they can help you." We are wondering if the Mayor has turned over the power of his office to Nat and Bob? The Missouri Negro Republican League Club has said what it would do if the Mayor didn't do. The mayor accepted the challenge and didn't do. Its now up to the club to make good its challenge. We have had a good object lesson in unity. We saw the results at the Eugene Field School building last Friday night. What Is Southern Blood? (From the New York World.) Every year or two Congress is made the scene of the actions of some bully who wants to whip everybody in sight. These scenes have been periodic for the last sixty years or more, and with extremely few exceptions the bullets have been solons from the other side of the Mason and Bixon line. The latest of these scenes was enacted by the Hon. Thomas E. Wattson, junior Senator from Georgia. Senator Watson is bringing charges against the American army that there were murders of soldiers in France during the great war without trial by court martial as well as shooting of privates by their officers. Last week during one of the hearings before the Senate committed which is investigating the charges Senator. Watson / suddenly jumped from his seat, and, touring his fat within a few inches of the face of Major George W. Cochei, exclaimed, "For two pennies I'd hit you in the jaw." Major Cochei is reported to have kept his Glee, scion-front without batting an eyeball. The Senator then, unbending in his knees, combed his hair, and insisted by a ballmucked, brute. He later explained in begging pardon of the committee, that the officer had insulted him by the manner in which he backed at him. He said, "The officers sat there and eyed pee with an insistence that caused my southern blood." This brings up the question. What is Southern Blood, and why is it so much richer and nobler than Northern or, Western blood? Why is it that Southerners are so much more susceptible to insult than men in other parts of the country, and why is it that they feel called upon a alliance with the highest insult, with anything from pistols to pistols, even after they become members of the United States Senate? This tradition about the richness and nobility of Southern blood which is so seduquently fostered in the group is nothing more than a fiction. In fact we know of no group of white men anywhere on the face of the earth who have less to be proud of than the white men of the South. They have contributed less to civilization, there is no evidence that they have a lower standard of law and order than any group of white men in any white country that can be pointed out today. "The Sabra of the Bozart," points out the older cultural decadence of the South. "He points out the fact that for a half century the white South has failed to produce even individual, first-rate men, and that there are single nests in Europe that someone first-rate men than all of the states south of the Potomac. He calls them that vast region with its thirty, or fifty million people and its territory as large, as half a dozen France or Germany, that is not a single poet, but a serious historian, not a credible company, but a critic, good or bad, no drama; dead or alive in this essay Mr. Mencken draws the following conclusion." "If the whole of the late Consideration were, to be engulfed by a total wave tomorrow, the fate of men in the world would be but little greater than that of the flood of the Yangtze-Kiang. It would be impossible in all history to match so complete a drying up of a civilization." "What is it that shattered southern everywhere and on all possessions to mount and bolt about their virility? The truth is, they are suffering from a Fredian complex, ab incomprehensibly and unmeasured by attempting to supply what they feel they lack by loudly intruding their possession of it. When an army officer, whom Senator Watson is directly or indirectly charging with high crimes and misdemeanors, looks at him, with anything but a smile, the sensitive feel of the officer's bulb necked bristle and fists impelled to punch him in the face. All of this the Senator ascribes to his hot Southern blood. To our mind the vanted "hot Southern blood" is made up of one word, the other third of the spirit of lynch. The New Year. To many a time or new resolutions which will be broken before the year is old; to thers, a time for reviewing the successes and failures of the past year; to those a starting point in a new period. No other year in the history ofatkind has opened with more apparent possibilities for good or will to to large a part of the population of the earth as does 1922. Restless men building a age-old order of things known. Were they not born in or perhaps they invert the time to spare from money making to study history and their training has been such as to make them despise the work of men who devote their lives to the good of humanity. Therefore 1922 is the indication of a new order of things laid out in great changes it will be laid on the broken bodies and cemented with the blood of those who strive from below. Wm. Pickens pleads for one big Negro organization. The A. N. P. pervades the Negro world. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1921 izations for the past year. The Pan-African Congress and the N. A. A. C. all, all are working for the same thing. We are many leaders of the different organizations do not realize this. It may be that some of the leaders think that these organizations are subordinate to the leaders but they are not. Any great organization of Negroes is far greater than any single group all these organizations phases of all awakening world consciousness. Our children will reap the benefits. Most men's mundane lay. This is especially true of Colored men. We read to a Colored child being lynched in Georgia and refuse to think about it; big per centage of the people must pay Bill money; thousands of Colored men spend enough money each year for tobacco alone to establish the Negro race as a strong financial factor in the world's work; Colored people of H Louis spend enough money every day (about $15,000,00) to keep the year's work financially employed in the handling of it. AH this and we are financially of an importance because men refuse to think. Every dollar you spend or place in the bank is part profit to the person who receives it from you. Jews recognized this a thousand years ago and Jews spend every dollar possible to finance the money kings of earth. Chinmen. To Negroes, Negroes and some few other of the "backward" races have failed to recognize it. - Humanitarianism is the 20th Century fetish. The agents of money masters have preached it in England while other agents were ravishing the souls and damning the bodies of people of darker rages. The British North Borneo Company, chartered by the British government, all the grinding mats and splendidum in its territory, and millions are spent in an attempt to force prostitution in America. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will arrest and prosecut a drayman for beating a mule while Negro babies are burned by white men. There are many, many men who have more money than they can ever spend and these, some men pass through streets every day where are little children dying for want of food. A church in Kansas City, Mo., founded on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth is having a body on the ground because of its deceased. The Bishop, a lead to a death, feast keeps the helpless burning in God's altar. Civilization has not done much for men. Retord And Answer 15,000,000 inhabitants, tax payers property owing, absolutely, royal citizens! The product of 200 years of slavery, over 60 years of servitude, 100 years of citizenship, and receiving practically none of the benefits of government, trached, burned, robbed India, criminally, desplaced for fealty andated for progress; cursed kicked and condemned for virtues, but going off to schools, building businesses, making favors, rabbing children. Our children's children will have a brief age of preservation in which their whole world will pay homage. Peace on Earth LOOK back upon the past year, and see how little we have striven, and to what small purpose, and how often we have been cowardly and hung back, or LOOK back upon the past year, and see how little we have striven, and to what small purpose, and how often we have been cowardly and hung back, or tenerarious and rushed unwise in; and how every day and all day long we have transgressed the law of kindness; it may seem a paradox, but in the brittleness of these discoveries a certain consolation resides. Life is not designed to minister to a man's vanity. He goes upon his long business most of the time with a hanging head, and all the time like a child. Full of rewards and pleasure as it is—so that to see the day-break or the moon rise, or to meet a friend, or to hear dinner call when he is hungry, fill him with surprising joys—this world is yet for him no abiding city. Friendships fall through, health fails, weariness assails him; year after year he must thump the hardly varying record of his own weakness and folly. It is a friendly process of detachment. When the time comes that he should go, there need be few illusions left about himself. Here lies one who meant well, tried a little, failed much; surely that may be his spirit, of which he need not be ashamed. Nor will he complain, of the summons, which calls a defended soldier from the field; defoated, ay, if he were Paul or Marcus Aurelius—but if there is still one inch of light in his old spirit, unhonored. Give him a march with his old bones; there out of the glorious sun-colored earth, one of the day and the dust, and the antique—there goes another Faithful soldier. BURIAL PERMITS. H.

Wherever there are Colored centers today there is business enterprise. The rentures are getting out of the old Rows followed so long of "barber shops, pool rooms, restaurants and saloons." There have been fortunes ma. by somebody they have failed to advance the race economically and mercifully many of them have been a blight. METHODIST MEMORIAL Three hundred widespread feeling of religious responsibility in 1921. This has found most gratifying expression in all of the religious denominations of general church bodies whose memberships contain Colored communicants. The Methodist Episcopal Church, true to its tradition and policies, has excelled all other denominations in the size of its financial backing to carry out the program of a sincere determination to advance the race religiously and educationally. The white Baptists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Congregationalists, Catholics, Salvation Army and other religious bodies have given more attention this year to the welfare of congregations in the latter of the motion, not exceeding the period following emancipation. This is a suspenseful truth that is significant of a realization of religious requirements. Every established school and college for Colored people exclusively, is crowned to capacity; many are building, and practically every southern state has accessed to the demands of popular settlement in providing better educational facilities for colored youth. It has no means reached a desirable and just proportion, but in the majority of instances the students are in valuable students where there are mixed schools, both grammar and high there has been increased attendance. This is noted, also, in mixed college and universities. Inter-Bacial Movements There has been a splendid showing in the matter of the later-Racial Movements. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the most highly organized movement of this kind in the world. It has proved its efficiency and helpfulness on many occasions during the year, and its following in both races has been unfortunate in those respects—many white people, especially South have believed the organization demands too much for the black people, while many people within the group have felt that the activities of the Association were meant to be combined so-called high-browes of the race, while many black people understandings are being corrected by systematic endeavor, it appears. The Association asks no more, or less, than absolute justice, and that for all the people everywhere. Other Movements There have been a number of other movements of one kind and mother all seeking to express the consciousness of a better day. The most outstanding of these other movements have been the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the African National Congress, under the control and direction of Marcus Garvey. This combination of efforts has succeeded in fastening a hold on the masses of the people in many sections of the United States, and West Indies, particularly the airlines and the railways among Negroes, and arouses a zeal of devotion by the adherents that surpasses any similar movement ever established in this country. This brings us to an amazing exhibition of interest manifested by many hundreds of thousands of American Negroes in the redeeming of Africa. This country of the forefathers of black people, rich beyond human computation in natural resources, has become a world center of interest. European nations have chopped Africa into colonial mursels, but there is a rowing feeling, leading where, it cannot be predicted, that Africa should be for Africans. The discovery of Harar, a city during a search of ten years, of a long time Ethiopian kings and queens, has only served to heighten interest in the eradication, and made those smelt-kissed have a new inspiration of pride in the world's greatest continent, the cradle of civilization-Africa. Law and Order A Federal Law against lynching now seems to be a certainty. After years of astounding arrests and years of righteous agitation, public sentiment has finally come to the point where a shameful teeth in it, against the shameful teeth in its practice of lynching, must and will be achieved by all thoughtful and impartial students of political well-being, that the United States must adopt and enforce such a law for self-preservation, if for no other reason. Occupying a position of pre-eminence in world affairs, such a people cannot be at the same height of righteous and hypocrites; they cannot be "man and man." They must choose one of the others. But to such a test, America always chooses the "better part." It is pointed out that law enforcement is necessary to peaceful living. That mockery of one law is only a precondition of the mockery of another. If the Uptown law government can and does provide militia for the enforcement of the eightteenth amendment to the constitution, sooner sooner to survive, it must likewise enforce the fourthteenth and fifteenth amendments. Where law is enforced there is order and respect. Finally: There is reason to thank for the achievement in 1921. Everywhere there are market signs of growth and progress. The spirit of democracy upon the people from all lands and weighed in benefactions in all directions. We are our "fathers." keeper” feel it and know it. None shall separate us from the heritage of uncompromising loyalty to each other’s interests and devotion to the general good; we yield to none in our visions and aspirations, and shall yield to none in our rightful determination to make them real and lasting. To 1822 the darker people of the world, and of this nation, as unlit groups and as individuals, turn their face, and with the faith of our fathers, resolve to march on to greater victory.

See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper PART TWO SELIGMANN ON THE LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS Discarding A Few Battleships Is Not Saving The World While Victims Of Slow Starvation And Diseases Are Dying By The Millions. (This is the eighth of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces America" who is now director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) By HERBERT J: SELIGMANN BY HERBERT J. SELIGMANN *NEW YORK, Dec. 28.* History tells of no greater incoherency than an armament conference in Washington at which statesmen scrap a few instruments for quick killing of people white the viadges of slow starvation in the war in Russia and Central Europe—and may before long be dying in other countries. Discarding a few battleships is not saving the world. Any state making war need only turn its dye factories in to poison as plants, drop a few bombs in enemy cities and watch the population—you and me and the next, magmor woman or child—gasp valently for air, born and not as the poison gases reach us. Now that a sort of agreement limiting the building of warships has been reached, despite the opposition of France it is seen that warships do matter so much anyhow. Statesmen are hastening to consider an economic conference in Europe. To this they are tardily moved, not by feelings of humanity. For the statesmen of England, France, and the United States have been willing to blockade and starve and freeze to death millions of innocent people, preventing their obtaining the machinery and clothing and food necessary to maintain themselves. When as a consequence of this criminal stupidity, famine, the automatic response to disorganization, open out before the eyes of those statesmen and they realize that their cowardly assaults upon Russia and Austria produce uneemployment, unrest, danger to themselves and their jobs at home then the talk is of an economic conference. What is to be the nature of this economic conference? One would think that, confronted with the world's misery, the statesmen would unite. But French statesmen continue to demand the pound of flesh from Germany's heart, the German prime minister announces that Germany simply cannot lend money to Germany to put her on her feet miles there is some assurance that French Statesmen will not seize that money. Meanwhile the German Banker, Hugo Stinnes, announces a new plan for the industrial and commercial exploitation of Russia, in which he hopes to interest English and French bankers. Thus, it looks as if statesmen and bankers, instead of admitting bankruptcy at home and striving to deal with it, were still looking for new regions to enter the world. But that the region to be plundered is Russian China or Africa. Under the circumstances every bit of land that has not a powerful navy and army to protect it is leopardy. For the "security" that bankers and diplomats are looking for is always in the land belonging, to someone else. Having denied recognition for over 3 years to a Russian government which has successfully resisted all the prizes sent against it, the statesmen and bankers of the allied governments now want to "exploit" Russia industrially. The bankruptcy of the statement and bankers of the world, it is becoming evident, is moral as well as financial. They and the newspapers have led the people into war. They have been lying to the people about Russia and Germany, about "inferior" forces and the white man's burden, and they find it less difficult to continue lying than to stop. The alternative to lying is to admit mismanagement at home and this they will not do... To admit the truth would be to admit that bankers and statesmen instead of having had plans for bettering the world, and developing resources and opportunities, have been the slaves of money. It is the tyranny of many that has followed the tyranny of Kings and Cars and that tyranny is with us yet. Unless Europe and the rest of the world can be organized so that the primary aim is not making money for someone, then the future of the European peoples is dark indeed, and that dark future will eventually stare the people of the United States in the face. For the present condition of Europe the United States has its share of responsibility. We helped blockade Russia, whose government the United States has even now not recognized. We threw in prison those who protested against the sending of American soldiers in fight Russians. We have made efforts to prevent a similar absence without ending in it that our enemy was used for purposes of peace, instead of for arms and navies. If we forgive Europeans powers those loans without indicating on a reduction of those navies and armies, then we are helping Europe to prepare for the final disastrous event of more war. A Holiday Message BY DR. R. R. MOTON (For the Associated Negro Press) It is a hard aftermath of the Great War that the people of the earth are trying to arrive at a better understanding of each other and that nations of the earth are striving or greater co-operation in all things that make for human welfare. It is not surprising, therefore that a similar consciousness should be found among the four hundred million Negroes in the world. There is a natural desire, stimulated by the events of recent years, that Negroes in North America, in South America, in Africa and in the islands should all want to know more of what is happening to each group—all strivings and aspirations to be found within the several groups and; to find some means of common action looking toward their improvement and advancement in every line of human endeavor. These four hundred million souls constitute a tremendous force in the earth which are now transpiring upon the earth, a force whose influence is destined to be felt more and more as the means of communication between various parts of the world are improved and the facilities for production, manufacture and distribution are enlarged and simplified. Then, too, they promise to a greater extent and more currents of water, light and procedure as their own consciousness of their power and resources develop and they become alive to their opportunities and possibilities of world order. There is need, at this time, of wise-strong and intelligent leadership in all these various groups of Negroes, who shall, with understanding, skill and unselfishness, direct the footsteps of their brethren who are grapping their way out of darkness toward a light that grows brighter and brighter with each succeeding year. They must be wise, strong and reliable—those who work for others and those who direct their own affairs and play an independent part in the activities of industry and commerce that surge around about them. The time is pbt vet, if it ever will be, that any group of mankind can have a long-continued and successful development without affecting cordial and reciprocal co-operation with other races of men. The world has just witnessed the explosion of two ideas with which men have in the past been strongly obsessed, the one that any nation or group of people can long dominate the rest of the family; the other, that nations and races of the earth can singlehanded overcome the difficulties which nature opposes to their advancement, or the weaknesses and perversities of human nature thrust forward to hinder their progress. This much the dominant races of the world have been forced to consider at a terrible cost of blood and money toward which the darker races have made to pay their share. It were favored people of the earth who did liberately and blindly rush into a similar catastrophe, having failed to profit by the mistakes of others. Mankind is challenged anew to a belief in the efficiency of that gospel of peace and good will which this season has been bringing for nearly two thousand years'. Certainly there is need for such a faith, he homes and lives of myriads of suffering families cry out for a leadership that believes not only in justice in freedom and in brotherhood, but in good will in faith in righteousness as the success to achieve that good. If ever human beings were to suffer of hatred of unity, of bitterness of history of the world for the past decade has given us that proof. That man, that nation, that race is wise that benefits by this dreadful example. And of all the people of the earth, these four hundred million Negroes scattered in every country and crime, have most to benefit and least to lose in heading that lesson. "Hell Fighters," Guard Of Honor For Marshall Foch The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, Dec. 28—The Fifteenth Regiment of New York, known as "Hell fighters" during the World War, under command of Col.

It would be worth while for America to make huge amounts of money to Europe, not only to relieve starvation but to set up the industry, farming and mining of the industry, farming and mining.

Va., Dec. 28 - Returning from his successful tour of Virginia last Saturday evening in which he delivered addresses in Suffolk, Stamton, South Boston, Danville and Boydton, Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., addressed a meeting which jammed Queen Street Baptist Church last Saturday afternoon. It was his six on appearance at this church within three months and the vast concourse where Morris from shary flush his despite a severe poor disability which, as he explained, was due to his having spoken on 10 occasions in the past ten days; he made one of the first speeches he has ever delivered from a New folk platform. Choosing as his subtitle, "The Blocks with which we build," he pleaded for character, courage, faith, aspiration and loyalty. He declared the Negro was too largely an imminator and not sufficiently a creator "We have forty so-called Black Bill Sundays and not one of them is worth his weight in saydust. Indeed he was a man of great importance, the proposition of enthroning everything white and dethroning everything black." In speaking of loyalty to ourselves he waxed exceedingly bitter and viliotic when he referred to the Gypsy Smith Jim Crow meeting. And when he said, "Down with these weakened, cringing, cowardly Negro prisoners, but they dreaded the shughter, you in be crucified the cross of the white man's prejudice," the great crowd leaped to its feet, and attested that for that word it had been waiting. "Some of these old mothers," said he looking to some of the aged females of his audience, "with the snows of seventy winters, upon their brow that never can melt, can practice more Christianity in five Gypsy Smith and his gang of profiteering discriminators in five years." He concluded his address with an eloquent peroration to the future of his people, Rev. Dr. F. W. Williams responded in a very gracious manner to the question of the master of ceremonies. A large sum was raised in the general offering. On Sunday afternoon, December 25 at 3:00 o'clock, Mr. Morris delivered his farewell address to the citizens of Norfolk in the Bank Street Baptist Church, corner Bank and Charlotte Streets, on, "The New Negro in the Aged Bank Street." Large chore rendered upon him by the Sunday School orchestra and Miss Daisy Sykes, Norfolk's popular nightingale song. The meeting was in the nature of a grand testimonial to young Mortis because of his arduous efforts. A record breaking crowd was present. He will depart during the early part of the week to deliver a series of addresses concluding with an Emancipation speeck in Wilson at 12:30 on January 2nd, one in Rocky Mount at 2:20 in Pittsburgh on January 3rd, and reaching Chicago to resume his studies.

KILLINGS IN GEORGIA UNDER FEDERAL PROBE The Associated Negro Press ATHENS, Ga., Dec. 28.—Federal investigations into the killings that were staged in Oceane County Sunday, December 4, has been started and thru the joint efforts of the county officials and the federal authorities, it is believed that, the persons guilty of the law violations will be brought to justice. Since the investigation was begun, Judge Walter C. Cornett, United States deputy in oceane, has received several anonymous communications warning him to discomplicate the federal investigation. "These letters been traced, according to Judge Cornett, and the persons responsible will be brought to trial. The Oceance officials who are working toward the capture of the gang which is said to be responsible for the disorder and killings in that county, and incidentally who are charged with killing it liquor, have been involved in the case. Judge Blanton Fortson, of the superior court, will aid in the government investigation by calling a special grand jury at the proper time. CLEVELAND NOW HAS COLOR'D BRANCH Y. M. C. A.

NEGRO ACTOR SERIOUSLY HURT IN AUTO WRECK The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, Dec. 28 - Edward Sterling Wright, lecturer and dramatic actor, while driving from Amityville, L.

He had both legs broken in the front. He had the impact against the showing wheel carved in his chest. Mr. Wright has been lecturing on Dramatic Art in the schools of Boston and New York.

Better Citizens Deplore Their Acts. MUSKOGEE. Okla. Dec. 28.—We regret that our race has a few misguided and cowardly outwits, in Tulsa who are anxious to ape the white whitening. Last Saturday night a set of Black cowards took a Negro, who, they claim is a lawbreaker, and beat him unmercifully, so such an extent that it is reported the victim will die, and after the punishment he. The victim was notified by the cowards to leave the city. Our position is that if this Negro is guilty of a crime he should be punished by the law, and it is said that the poor, fellow is now under bond, and cannot leave if he wished, without putting his bond in danger, and he is too many to do that. These two men, Watson and they are kind of ardently Negro$^a$ that make the loud our race has to bear more of a burden. They would have some believe that they are the good, brave, courageous Negroes who want the limit in the recent trouble to defend their homes, but that is not true; they are just common ordinary liars, such as all cowards are. Every sounded in that black mob should be taken in charge by the officers of the law and made to pay for the death of the victim die they should be prosecuted for murder. (We are opposed to capital punishment), but in cases of this kind we think the chair would be the proper place for each of the hellish imps and that Dante's description of Hell fills the place for these black imitators of the K. K. K. We are proud of our loyal and Christian ministers who have let the world and the Christian element of our people are not in any manner connected with the fledgish outrage. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was put to death by a mob, and surely no follower of the lofty Nazarene can approve of the mob, the preachers who engage in such are wolves in sheep's clothing. We are not in favor of protecting any criminal, but a man charged with crime is entitled a trial by a jury and not by a mob. If the victim of the mob has committed a crime there is no way of escape, and there should be no way of escape for the members of the cowardly black mob, that has brought disgrace and shame upon the race and show that they are tools for white outlaws. 780,794 NEGROES HAVE MIGRATED TO THE NORTH 780,794 NEGROES HAVE MIGRATED TO THE NORTH The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28— The tpil number of Negroes reported as born in Southern states and living in the north and west had increased from 404,534 in 1910 to 780,794 in 1920, the census bureau announced in a special report of Negro migration based on returns of the last census. The southern boundaries of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas were taken as the dividing line between the north and the south for the purposes of the research. Of the 10,281,309 Negroes enumerated in the last census, there were 35,575 for whom no state of birth was reported. The 780,794 southern-born Negroes shown to have migrated to the north or west constituted 8.1 per cent of the total of 9,006,943 Negroes born in the southern section. The percentage of this migration for the preceding decade was not shown. Some Travel South Against this migration from the South to the North and West, of the total of 741,791 reported in the last census as born in states of the latter region 47,223 or 6.4 per cent, were living in the South. Thus the proportion of southern born Negroes who migrated to the north or west, according to the report, was only about one fourth larger than the proportion of those born in the latter region who migrated to the south. While it is impossible to calculate exact estimates of Negro migration from the south during the decade end with 1920; the data indicating the available data indicate that approximately 400,000 - or of somewhat more than half of the 733,571 survivors of the net Nero migration from the south to the north and west prior to Jan. 1, 1920, left the south subsequently to April 15, 1910. **Leaves Middle States** "Although migration to the north and west has not taken place among the far southern Negroes to the same numbers, as among the Negroes in northern part of the south, there was nevertheless a pronounced increase in such migration from the south during the past decade." As examples of this gain, the report cited increases in the migration of Negroes from southern states to Pennsylvania from 1910 to 1920 as follows. Georgia, 1877 to 1918; South Carolina, 1877 to 1918; Florida, 305 to 5,270. By 1920, Ohio incorporated from 781 to 1,788. From Mississippi to Illinois, 4,112 to 10,439; Texas to Missouri, 4,907 to 4,544. PRINCIPAL BRUCE MAKES PLEA FOR COUNTRY LIFE In Stirring Address Before The Negro Farmer's Conference, Tells His Hearers To Get Their Eyes Open. Says, "Work, Watch, Wait, Save." We Must Not Be Led In Politics Like Sheep To The Slaughter. Special to the Argus. DALTON, Mo., Dec. 28.—A special feature of the recent conference here was the annual address of N. C. Bruce, principal of Bartlett Agricultural and Industrial School of Dalton. Prof. Bruce touched upon many of the most vital issues that affect the Negro life in America. The address was as follows: The address: Presidents and Officers of the State Negro Farmers' Bureau, visitors and friends. All time have been great but in no time past his world ever been fuller of grave serious problems, and of opportunities for worthwhile services and responsibilities for prepared men and women as now. and the Republican National Committee have invited us to free ourselves from our 50 years of political slavery. They are right. And so it is up to our people now to "drop down our buckets where we are." To organize, work, save and spend our earnings economically, develop our business, farms, and trades, for employing ourselves and children, and to vote for the best possible men and women who will be unafraid to share with us according to our voting strength, fitness, and morals to do business among our own, for our own and the state and Country's best welfare. Produce Better Crops Of first importance is our baby crop. Better births, environments, and rear up of children. Here we are again assembled in our 14 annual meeting as farmers, "Country Lifers," titlers of the most fertile soil in our richest and most powerful nation of the earth and in its best of the 48 states for great hearted human beings and righteous, squine dealing土地 mankind who hold all the offices of control. Here we are meeting after the nations of the civilized world have met at our President's call, paid devoted and sincere tribute to an unknown American soldier who may have been any one of the 10 race groups which constitute over 400 million human souls of America. The great U. S. Secretary of State has asked all great nations to limit and scrap hitherto great gremantum for the shedding of blood of fellowmen. These great nations have practically agreed. We are meeting in a wonderful day for praise to God, we have lived to see this glorious day. Are we prepared for To Our Race Group I speak to $o_{i}$ our race 'group'. What and who are we? What part have we in upbuilding ourselves, our nation and humanity? I believe that all which we have prepared ourselves to take and hold for the best services of all is needed now. We can $d_{o_{i}}$ do nothing as parasites, as wards, and dependents. We must inform ourselves educate our children, and work unceasingly, intelligently, and profitably to give useful employment $o_{i}$ our youth as they come out of our schools. We must inform our now from honest services, training and thrift, it is the business and duty of all to go forward, fearing nothing but God and their own sins. Lack of union, cooperation and common sense. Farmers Suffer but must not Strike Farmers Suiter but most not Strue During these terrible times, very little of encouragement can be spoken to the average farmer. The best per- haps the most encouraging farmers are getting their eyes open. We can't be so easily fooled by the wholesale as here before. The biggest work our group element of farmers can do is to keep ourselves from going up into and from flocking to towns and cities. These are times that people have to keep busy at work, even while clouds are passing by. Some too late begin to see that crop producers should be had to bear all the first great losses. It is being seriously felt that the goose which hays the eggs ought not to have been the first one killed as they aid the farmers a year ago. But people who are money crazed have to learn justice thru awful bitter experience. For nearly a year they made the Amer- ter farmer stand the first slump until his losses mounted up to 8000 millions of dollars. When the spirit of farmers is destro- th it can never be supplied. Goldsmith truly said "I'll dress the land of hastin- g ilts a prey, where wealth con- cumulates and men decay; princes and lords may flourish or may fail, a breath can make them as a breath has made, but a bold farmer, his Country's pride when once destroyed can never be smalled. Not Bothered With Prejudice We Negro farmers are not swerved and turned around by prejudice within or without. We hoe to our corn tend our bees, hogs, cattle and poultry. grow our cabbage and potatoes gather our berries and fruit, and make ourselves desirable, useful, fruitful, taxing citizens. Let us keep this up. We know we are at present without vote in our Government. But even in our free Imperial, Missouri, this fault is largely in ourselves. President Harding has just told us to our tech what many of us have known. We have been past 20 years. He urged us to vote for our own best good and for the best feen, and for the best principles. We can't always be sheep in politics, if we would not always be led up for slaughter. Like Jews, Swedes, Italians Germans, we too will have to "pass all the taxes" before we can run our "Elias hone" and fully as other American citizens, even aliens. Mr. Harding and other Congressmen and Senators needed any and all votes they could get last year. Next year, there may be another set of white men and women of another party who may need us more and will more heavily share with us and stand up for us after election, who knows? Who among us cared Ay, there is the rub, who cared Will know that Abraham Lincoln Would care that we all died so well and that we all died so well and that no party will dare be detained and anyone may detain us. Abraham Lincoln PAGES 7-12 and the Republican National Committee have invited us to free ourselves from our 50 years of political slavery. They are right. And so it is up to our people now to "drop down our buckets where we are. To organize, work, save and spend our earnings economically, degrade our business, farms, and trades; for emplify our business, farms, and children; and to vote for the best possible man and women who will be unafraid to share with us according to our voting strength, fitness, and merits to do business among our own, for our own and the state and Country's best welfare. **Produce Better Crops** Of first importance is our baby crop. Better births, environments, and rearing up of our children with more thorough, adequate, industrial and agricultural facilities. This should be our slogan, "Better births, better kids, and wiser bring up young folks, even before we get the thorough breed of cattle, pigs, and poultry.** Practical and Applied Religious Training With Negro Americans, the cry should go forth, "Back to Christ," and to the land to own and fill. First seek Christ in the heart and soul, then work for crops of corn, wheat, oats, rye, cattle and hogs and all other things necessary for the best citizenship. Let us seek, strive not to become cankered and eaten up in the strife for mere money languishing and for the need to take away the Kegress crown of love, Apeace, goutless, meckness, long suffering, patience, faith, hope. Not Turk, Russian, of Greek, or Bulgarian has yet been trusted with the key to the heart of our neighbors—white Americans—as our fathers were nor yet as we are. Although all these foreigners can freely enter any and all American Colleges, and University doors, but the stable has not been barred from us. There is room for us in our hearts, as was for our Lord the Christ. In that case, we print of the one perfect man, the Master and Prince of men. And neither he nor his parents ever complained. They kept on living the righteous life, reviled but answered not back. I would to God that all of my people in cities would, like Negro farmers, cease wild goose chasing, stop over reaching in spending for display and shows, and to be called "uppers," and earrings, and braiding and use of startling trades; small factories, and varied business, especially farms for opening up more employment to our own and our city youths under their own watch care and would organize for power and respectability, for lessening the number of our unemployed young people, decreasing their criminal midnight dress, improving the health of the midnight dress, payers and thin clad young, women of the race. If for just a brief space, we would cease to hold complaining fault finding conventions and great talking-meetings and would remain like Jews, Japs, Armenians and Poles, hard at work in silence, like them, we too would be up our own and the good of all and with better heard for our much silence and economic power in business. I leave with these final words. Silence. Work, Watch, Wait. Saye. Let farmers at least learn to labor and to wait to co-operate, organize and to work together. Possibilities, exercising faith. In God that, he will see to our rights. RESOLUTIONS Resolutions of the 14th Annual Conference and the Farmers Institute of Missouri and Mid-Western States Negro Farmers assembled at the B. A. and I.

LESSON FOR JANUARY 1 THE REVOLT OF JEROBOAM LESSON TEXT I Klingen 18:1-51 LESSON TEXT I—Kings I:1-14 GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shou not make unto thee any graven image, or any like- ness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that shall not be water down, yourself unto them nor serve them. Ex 20:4, 5 REFERENCE MATERIAL—I Kings 11:30-36; I:1-14; II Chron. 13 and 12; Iss. 41:9-10 PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of Two Kings. JUNIOR TOPIC-Two Kings Who Disobeyed God. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Two Kings Who Lost Their Opportunities. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Industrial Ursest and Its Cure. The movements leading up to the division of the kingdom began during Solomon's reign. 1. The People's Demand (vv. 1-4). This was occasioned by the burden of excessive taxation and enforced labor required by Solomon in order to build costly houses and temples for his heathen wives. Owing to the multiplicity of his wives, this became very burdensome. The people were grooming under its weight. Upon the accession of the new king, Rehoboam, the people through their leader, Jeroboam, came with the request that their burdens be made lighter, promising loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens. II. Rehoboam's Foolish Decision (vv. 5-15). 1. Rehoboam consulted with the old men (vv. 5-7). He at once consulted the old men of experience who had been Solomon's advisers. Being acquainted with the conditions as imposed by Solomon, and knowing the temper of the people, they advised that the people's request be granted. 2. Rehoboam consulted the young men who had grown up with him (vv. 8-11). These young men were most likely half-brothers, sons of Solomon's many wives. Being thus brought up in the luxury of the harem, they were ignorant of the real rights of the people; therefore they advised that the burdens be increased. 3. Rehoboam follows the advice of the young men (vv. 12-15). At the appointed time he announced his purpose to the people. He answered them roughly, asserting his purpose to increase their burdens, and sorrow. Rehoboam lost the great opportunity of his life. III. The Revolt of the Ten Tribes (vv. 16-24). Upon Rehoboam's announcement of his rash purpose, all Israel cried out, "What portion have we in David? Neither have we an inheritance in the sun of Jesse: to your rents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David!" Rehoboam's attempt to collect tribute from the ten tribes was met by stoning-Adoram, the tribute gatherer, so that he died. Rehoboam's failure to heed the advice of experienced men caused the work of two generations to be undone in a moment. IV. Jereboam'a' SubstRute Religion (yr. 25-33) 1. He established self-worship (vv. 25-38). (1) His pretext for (vv. 26, 27). He fearled best the religious unity should heal the political separation. His plea was that the people would go back to Jerusalem to worship, and therefore would gradually be led to acknowledge allegiance to Behoboa, and his own life would be taken. This act of his had its root in his heart of unbelief. God had promised through the Prophet Ahijah to build him a sure house, even as he had built for David (F Kings 11:38). Had he believed God, this fear would have been displeased. Jeroboam only used religion to secure personal ends. He was too shrewd a politician to do away with religion. He knew that religion was a powerful factor in man's life. (2) The calves set up (vv. 26-30). When Jeroboam set up these calves he must: "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of Egypt." His religion was the religion of conspirators. 2. His scheme of worship (v. 31-32). (1) He built bishop of high places (v. 31). This was against the direct command of God. (2) He made priests of the lowest of the people (v. 31). God had set aside the tribe of Levi to fill the office of priesthood. In this again, he disbanded God. (3) He changed the day of the festival of the tabernacle (v. 32). The time of this festum was set by Jehovah (Lev. 22:31-34). (4) Jehovah himself intruded into the priest's office (v. 31). This set of presumption on his part was the citinus of his goddess area. All this grew out of a wicked heart. One of the best paying professions open to women today, is scientific Beauty Culture.

A REASON FOR NEGRO RACE PRIDE Dr. Sara W. Brown in the Southern Workman Our African ancestry is not to be displeased. On the contrary, from interviews with missionaries, with native men and women, through study of recent archeological, discoveries and of scientific treatises, one finds much to awaken and stimulate race pride. I was constrained to get at the truth as fully as I could lately when meeting groups of colored girls and women because we were ready response to little attempts to guard to the worthwhile characteristics, intellectual, moral and physical that were the African's own. The accounts of the Yoruba country, the history of the people, their industries, the government and customs, are very gratifying. A large number of American Negroes are accredited to the Yoruba country. These people, the Matuba people, the Ahlotots, and the others we are credit with having a high standard of morality—adultery and bastardity we almost unknown by outsiders. We have long known that Africans gathered their girls and boys at the age of adolescence into separate groups in the bush schools for secret instruction pertaining to individual and racial health. Proof of Agregy of the Anglo-African N.C. Association with a member of the African Educational Commission under the Phelps-Stokes Fund, gave me when I was at Livingstone College last year some most illuminating information in regard to the mysteries of the bush schools. He took great pride in pointing out how in sex education his people and had in advance of some modern natives for a thousand years. I was made to feel a scientist. I was informed of a scientific laterity attributed from Africa stated that if safety of life and of property are a measure of civilization then Africa and China are ahead of New York City. FEET WET?

He Cites St. Louis As One Of Three Cities Where "Rotten" Umpiring Has Caused Trouble, And Nearly Ruined The Game. PAGE TWELVE BY ANDREW RUEF FOSTER I know that the fans, all over the country are waiting to get my opinion on colored umplies. They have patiently waited for a number of years. I have received hundreds of letters from the people even sporting of some of our colors, advertising and in some cases condemning me because I have not inaugurated colored umplies at Chicago and in the League. Some have been unreasonable in their demands saying that I was the man that could do it, and it was a shame that I did not put our people the privilege. It is doubtful that we understand the many objections that would have to be in order to place colored umplies in our L'Argente. The leading thinkers of the country today admit that it was cruel and injustice for four million slaves, abducted and ignorant, to be turned loose as a free people without safe guarding the necessary things in life for them preparing and fitting for duties necessary for citizen and a tree people. In the same conditions confronted baseball where colored unpipes are concerned. Necessary Qualifications For An. Lumile To be an efficient empire the first great step for the empire is to study the disposition and temperament of each of the players with whom he comes in contract; to be a good judge of human nature; to know the baseball rules, their interpretation and to be honest and square. These qualifications are salty pressing in the colored empires I have yet reform. he don't expect colored pumps to be able to interpret the technicalities of the rules as the leading baseball-men of the country but hull players who have played under pumps who understand such rules and make plays according to the interpretation of such rules and are called out or put out of the game on the decision they know is wrong invariably causes a bad game, displeases the fuss and generally stops coming to the ball games. Our fans have been led to believe that our decision an impire makes in binding on a club and whatever he says must be taken for granted that it is right. An impire's powers are limited; he is only supreme in decision against the rules he is no more than an ordinary spectator at the ball game but in order to spot disappoint the people who came to the park the club accepts the decision given against them and plays the game without toforce no games, but protested and then again the games have been thrown away by the unjust decision of the impire. We have tried to prevent this and instructed all of our clubs to play a game out regardless of the impire's decision; if he made a decision against the rules inform him that they are playing the game against protest, notify the president of the league th e facts in the case and if the decision made by the game would be thrown out and developed played over. This done on secretly and then against the decision against the home club, the manager and his players would say that the decision was made against their club because they feared their club would be beaten therefore it was expected. An umpire has more than the responsibility of the ball game on his hands; his relations are closely watched, he should not be swayed in his judgment by the sighpause of the home club's fans; this is not totally true from the games in which I have seen them work. It is the duty of a captain or manager to protect any decision made in his judgment conflicts with the playing rules; an umpire should tolerate such and be able to tell the captain or manager why he is wrong and explain the rule to him. When the umpire cannot do this then it is the duty of the captain or manager to protest rigorously and explain the rule to the umpire and if the pimpire means to be fair, he will abide by the pimpire's rule, will not do anything, instead will put the rule of the game, in many cases cause the manager or captain to withdraw his club from the field or start an argument; the result is a rotten game. Colored baseball players are harder to handle than the white players. It seizes characteristic of our race to act according to the size of the attendance and the worst our actions. We don't feel the need to play hard to the multitude how bad we can be. All the clubs hire their umpire; they don't need to be told that they are paid by the home club but if he does anything that the players tell the manager is wrong of the fans tell the manager they don't agree on his decision and that he is ridding him, the manager doesn't weigh the merits of the umpire but gets a new man in his place; the new umpire knowing the fate of the other goven himself wordlessly. Under such a system our umpires are not near as much at fault to the club owners and managers; they have not had a fair chance to show their worth; they can be as developed as the ball players. Until we have our club owners to consolidate and an umpire should be hired that instead by the President of their club. His come from him against his he does not have to be unmade by the club in order to get his pay but that the only way to draw his salary is to be fair and last at every place we can hope for success with colored umpires. It is an easy matter for upkeep and managers to get together and discuss the interpretation of any rule they disagree upon as it is for the manager and players to get together from a system; argue the point through it; and reach agreement is reached make it binding. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1921 PINE STREET Y. M. C. A. DEFEATS E. ST. LOUIS Y. PINE STREET Y. M. C. A. DEFEATS E. ST. LOUIS Y. Local Basket Ball Quintet Wins 50-2. Garrett And Rucker Score 32 Points. The Fine Street Department Y. M. C. A. Basket Ball Team overwhelmingly defeated Bond Street Department "Y" of East St. Louis Tuesday night at Fine Street Gym 50-2. Garrett and Rucker featured the winners attack which seemed to puzzle the East side boys at all times. At no time during the game the Pistons were the best. The East side boys were light and inexperienced and deserve much credit for the showing they made. After the game the members of both teams enjoyed luncheon in the Cafeteria and the East Side boys went home feeling fine although they lost the game. **Results of Games in the League** The Old Men in the Volley League strengthened their hold on first place by taking the Invitebles to camp in two straight games. The Invitebles gave a game win, but numbered 5 to 3, made things very lively for a few minutes. Capta, Hueckell, Willamus and Thomas of the Invitebles put up a strong game but could not break through the defense put up by the Old Men. The game next week - Old Men vs. Young Men - The Young Men fresh from a victory, over the Spartan's Braves, think they can 'dure the trick' in trimming the Old Men. The Seoul Steel Team won to win last week, adding another to their won column when they beat/the All Stars. The game was very close all the way. It was a pitching duel by all the Seoul Steel and Underman of the All Stars, both pitchers had many to go down by ripe out route. Only a few balls were/nocked to the outer fielders. The game next week will be between the Black Swan and the All Stars. **Basket Ball** The Cubs in the Junior division won their first game at the expense of the Buffaloes. Capt. Baskerville had his keys keyed up to the occasion and in a few minutes of play had the whole Buffalo team on the defense. They won the game 15-1. Next game the Buffaloes and Panthers are down for the fight. In the Senior division the Tigers were rather unfortunate in not having the service of Star Guard Robert but they put up a strong defense against the towers of the Bottoms Gang and in the first half were trailing by only two points. The Bottoms Gang got going in the second part of the game and set such a fast pace until it weakened the adjournance of the Tiger towers who had used up all their bad in the initial portal. Garrett led the scoring for the Bottoms Chung with a fifteen points. The game Saturday is between the Bottoms Gang and the Black Swans. The game is called at 8:47 P.M. Admission free. BOYS START THE NEW YEAR WITH THE OYE Many thoughtful parents decided that a membership in the Bears' Division of Time Street Y, M. C. A., was a good Christmas present as they could give their boys. In the hope of promoting their happiness and insuring their all-around development, now many boys will start the New Year in an constructive program that will take up all of their leisure time and stimulate them in employing the bad habits with helpful performances of the studies in church and Sunday School. May other parents hasen to provide so wisely for the time that all boys are tempted to misuse, their treasure. A regular program is being seriously and happily carried out in the Pine Street Boys' Division and every regular boy wants to be in it. INTER SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE In the Inter-Sunday School Indoor Baseball League boys conducted by the Roy's Division of Pine Street Y. M. C. A. in the gym, the boys from St. Paul A. M. E. Sunday School who are most members of the "Y-" have walked away with the first two juniors from Saint Green.

Observing New Year's NEW YEAR'S day isn't what it used to be. This is in a small way attributable to the addition to the Constitution of some dry reading matter. He still greater NEW YEARS day isn't what it used to be. This is in a small way attributable to the addition to the Constitution of some dry reading matter. He still greater part it is because the international obsession for celebrating whenever Father Tinke takes a fresh start in piloting the earth around the sun is thousands of years old. The manner of observing the day sun changed greatly through the centuries. The urge to give presents at least once a year was felt even before Christmas and Santa Claus came into the scheme of things, and the ancient Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians and Romans, tendered their gifts to one another on the first day of the year. Kings got into the habit of receiving extra gifts from their subjects on these days and liked it so well they began extorting larger and larger sums. This practice got so bad in Rome under the Caesars that Claudius called a hatt. It spread to other countries, however, and the English had their New Year's celebration spotted annually by rapacious sovereigns until Queen Elizabeth's modest demands of her subjects cut gifts down to a minimum. In those days the celebration of New Year's day had become world-wide. With variation to suit all nationalities, it consisted everywhere of eating, drinking and motley merriment. Christopher Columbous, so far as is known, was the first white man to jubilate on New Year's day in the western hemisphere. While his ships were undergoing repairs on January 1, 1493, he enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with two savage monarchs on the island of Haiti. After this meal, history says, the discoverer of America had his first smoke of tobacco. Whether he enjoyed it is not recorded, but he left it to a later generation. Sir Walter Raleigh is generally credited with the function—to introduce tobacco to Europe. The Pilgrim Fathers and the first families of the older states of the Union enjoyed a quiet holiday as each year came around. They feasted, but not until they had attended religious services. For 25 years up to the dawn of 1920 and the war of war-time prohibition, the celebration in large cities became noisier and more expensive each year. Thousands used to crowd into places of merriment, while principal thorngifares were packed with throngs of merrymakers with squawkers, clappers, bells and confetti. Every hotel and most of the restaurants were jammed with gay diners. In 1961 it was estimated that 41,000,000 was spent in the New York white-light district on New Year's eve. After that it stallictics gave up trying to figure out the sum. HUM RESOLUTION. "Have you seen the old gentleman from the old gentleman." But do you think that these men will keep these resolves?

"It' the best thing I ever heard," said Brother Bacon. "It most certainly is," said Sammy Sausage. "I've never heard of anything so nice," said Master Pinky Pig. And his mother added, "It's fine, squeak, squeak, it's fine." "I agree," said Miss Ham. And she grunted five times, one grunt after the other to show that she agreed. "What are you all talking about?" asked Red Top, the rooster. "You don't know?" asked all the pigs. "Oh yes, I know," sailed Red Top, crowing proudly. "Then why did you ask?" inquired Brother Bacon. "You haven't much sense," said Red Top. "Of course, I don't know, or I wouldn't have asked." "Well did I ever," grunted Miss Hand. "You said one moment ago that you did know and now you say you don't know. Which do you mean? Do you know what we were talking about or don't you?" "Yes," said Sammy Snusage, "that is what we would like to know." "Well," said Red Top, "I don't know, and if I had I wouldn't have asked you. When I said I knew I thought you all had sense enough to know that I was joking. It seems that none of you can take a joke." 猪 "Take a joke," Brother Bacon, "You say that none of us can take a joke. Well, why should we? A joke isn't anything to eat. What would we be doing with a joke I'd like to know." "Yes," said Porky Big, "we'd all like to know what we would do with a joke." And all the pigs squealed. "We'd like to know what we could do if we took a joke. It's nothing to eat so what should we take it?" Red Top the rooster clucked and crowed and grimmed. "This is the best joke." "What do we care about it being the best joke?" asked Brother Bacon. "We've already told you we didn't care about a joke because it was nothing to eat. We don't care whether it is a best one or not. Now if you were talking about a best dish of food—that would be different." "Yes, that would be quite different," squeezed the other pigs. "I was wrong," said Red Top grinning. "Of course you have no wish to take a joke because it is nothing to eat. I meant, of course, that it was a joke when I prefigured I knew what you were talking about just after I had asked you that question. I wouldn't have asked you if I had known, as I have said before. And I wouldn't have bothered to have had a little joke with you if I had thought that you didn't care about joking. In fact you care about nothing but eating." All the pigs grinned and twisted their little tails. "We show we're regular pigs." Said Brother Bacon. "We'll forget about jokes and joking flen," said Red Top. "Tell me what you were talking about. I would like to hear. I don't know really. That's the truth. And that's not a joke." "We were talking about it being such a good thing," explained Miss Ham. "What is such a good thing?" asked Red Top. "This, idea of New Years, resolutions," said Miss Ham. "You see we heard that like to hear. I don't know really. That's the truth. And that's not a joke. "We were talking about it being such a good thing," explained Miss Ham. "What is such a good thing?" asked Red Top. "This. Idea of New Years, resolutions," said Miss Ham. "You see we heard that every year around this time folks and creatures began making good resolutions. And we've made ours. We think they're fine and we hope to live up to them." "That's good," said Red Top. "But what are your resolutions?" he asked after a moment. "To get all we can to eat, each of us," said Miss Ham, "and never to think or worry about anyone but ourselves." "Well, I never," said Red Top. "You don't know much about the real meaning of good resolutions, but what should I expect? After all your are only big." "Pigs with good resolutions," repeated Miss Ham. Old Olie cloth. Do not throw away old olie cloth. Use it for pads for the baby.

That I would have my life again And live it over if I could." HE first conclusion that a man arrives at when he thinks of the new year is that he will turn over a new leaf, observes Laura Jean libhey. If he's single HE first conclusion that a man arrives at when he thinks of the new year is that he will turn over a new leaf, observes Laura Jean Libbey. If he's single he resolves that he'll cut loose from the companions he has had—the jolly fellows who are not just what they ought to be. He makes up his mind that he'll quit turning night into day, larking around until the wee sun hours and attempting to work the next day. He makes up his mind he'll save money. Instead of going out with the boys he'll hunt up the nice girls whom he knows and spend his evenings with them. From the nunny he will choose one girl who shall be nearer and dearer yet than all others. He thinks he has had quite enough of bachelor life—in fact that he'll marry and settle down. The married man's thoughts are along quite a different line. He makes up his mind to cut down the number of clubs to which he belongs and give his wife the new chou she has been piling for. He will forego the sting rackets that he has been accustomed to join in, telling his wife that he's been to a prayer meeting. He concludes to give his wife a little more pleasure in the way of outings, and to pay her pretty complements to keep her heart from withering altogether. He'll cease squering when she speaks of her relatives and refrain from treating them shalt, when they pay her a visit. The father-in-law's thoughts take a different turn. After long and serious thought on the subject, he concludes that he will shut his eyes to his son-in-law's peculiarities, give him a helping hand instead of grumbling at the manner in which he is keeping his daughter; that he'll not take sides with either when a family row is on. The free lance concludes to cross off all the mrigred from his calling list, and to turn his attention to the women who are heart whole and fancy free. The conductor on the trolley car concludes that he will begin the new year by stopping at just the corner that people want to get off at so that he may gain the thanks of the travelers instead of the upbraids of irate passengers who are obliged to walk many blocks back. The rounder who depends on the lunch counter for his daily fare concludes that he will accept a job from any man who is inclined to give him a square deal. The gambler thinks he will turn his attention from the tricks of his trade because gambling is prohibited in his state. He thinks he may pick up a nimble penny by becoming a rousing revivalist—chasing the deli round the stump. The milkman concludes not to stop at the town pump for a drink, the dashing chauffeur concludes to put his name and address in his identification book when he goes joy riding.

Had he a penchant, for celebrating holidays he could travel in a more or less leisurely way around the world, and in the course of the year could participate in six or seven New Year festivities, adding a couple of Christmas celebrations for good measure," according to a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Our American might start his progressive holiday jaunt by going to some western European country for the approaching New Year which the United States too will celebrate. He could then travel to Greece, JudeShiva, Rumania, or Bulgaria in time for Christmas in those countries. Christmas is also, December 25 in the countries named, according to their calendars, but corresponds to January 7 in America. "By remaining a week in the same country he could also spend New Year Day, called January 1, but corresponding with the" American and western European January 14. By pushing on and making good connections he might be able to reach Singapore, or by supplementing steamers with airplanes could reach China itself to take part in the most thorough going New Year celebration in the world, the Chinese New Year. CICOPA After the Chinese New Year celebration, the traveler could pursue his holiday hunting less strenuously for a while. He could arrange to arrive in Sham in time for the Shamese New Year on April 1, and afterward could have two months of sightseeing before reaching Arabia for the Mohammadine New Year on September 4. He could cross the Red Sea and make a quick journey into Abyssinia to take part in the New Year festivities of that country on September 10. Returning to the Red Sea and taking a stenner north he could easily reach Jerusalem in good time for the lifebrew New Year, October 3. "The holiday hunter would now have taken part in all the principal New Year celebrations of the world and could return to the Western hemisphere to spend the Christmas with which he is most familiar at his own hearth side. In six days less than a year he would have chalked up seven New Year and two Christmas celebrations to his credit The world's multiplicity of New Year Days and Christmasmas is due to the fact that our calendar is largely an arbitrary device. The earth revolves around the sun in 365.2422 days, which makes the true year a very old measure of time. And it is almost as difficult to choose a logical beginning for the year as it is to find the starting point of a circle. Different peoples have selected different starting points and have also assumed the year to be of slightly different lengths. This has not only resulted in the years beginning at different times but has also caused the times of beginning to vary in their relations to one another from year to year. It is as though a clock had half a dozen or more hands all moving around the dial from different starting points. "The most logical starting points for the year would seem to be summer and winter solstices and the spring and autumn equinoxes; and all of them have been made to mark the beginnings of the years in some parts of the world. The Gregorian calendar that is now in use in the United States and throughout most of the Christian world is the Julian calendar slightly modified. When Julius Caesar caused it to be constructed, the beginning of the year. January it was placed seven days after the winter solstice, and not in con- junction with it as logic would seem to dictate. The Julian year was made by means of the deep year device. 265.25 days long, which was an er caused it to be constructed, the beginning of the year, January 1. was placed seven days after the winter solstice, and not in con- junction with it as logic would seem to dictate. The Julian year, was made, by means of the 'keep year' device, 265.25 days long, which was an ex- cess over the true year of 11 minutes and 14 seconds. This excess caused the nominal January 1 to creep gradually further and further beyond the winter solstice so that by the time of the Church Council of Nice-in 325 it was eleven days beyond the solstice instead of seven. "By the time of Pope Gregory's confection in 1582, January 1 was 21 day beyond the solitude and Christmas 14 beyond. The colonies had remained uncorrecting. New Year Day would have gone on camping forward first into spring. Then into summer." were many encampments in stone mounds made in the trunk.
