DEBS FREED, KISSES NEGRO COMRAD Refuses Full Pardon As It Implies Guilt, Which He Does Not Admit. GARY, Ind.,—As Eugene V. Debs role toward Washington on Christmas day, on some mysterious mission having to do with his acceptance of the freedom given him by President Harding, he leaned back on the plush seat in the day coach and talked of Attica, where he spilled two and onehalf years. It is belleded he will tell President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty that he will not accept a "full pardon," since he would imply a guilt he does not acknowledge. Debs was riding in a day coach from choice. The government had given him the money to buy a Pullman, but he had to donate the sum to the Russian famine relief fund. His Cure For Society's Errors "There is a much better way the application of the golden rule. If I had my way I would throw away the keys to all宫秘. I would dismiss all guardians of the 2,300 courtesans I had to kill, would stand waistwise to that in a single row, would make my rule or attempt to make their gotaway were I the warriors notwithstanding many of those poor fellows are as innocent of wrongdoing as I. "Man is the only animal that aages evicts his system." Deemed to adjudicate that the conditions in Atlanta prison are very good. "In fact," he said, "they are better than in many other prisons. I know, because I have lived in jail before. The officials extended me no social assistance. I would not have accepted them had I been told to me. But the system is wrong." 2.300 Felons in Audience "I never enjoyed any Christmas even in my life as I enjoyed this one. It was an inspiring occasion to me as I stood in the prison auditorium addressing my comrades. I made a spontaneous speech. There were men of all classes, denominations and colors - Negroes, Caucasians, Indians, and Chinese - gathered; there the night before Christmas, and it was a scout meeting. They were their hearts beamed from their faces. They were happy and the Lord is sorry. I was stirring my liberty and going away from them." 2:300 Prisoners Cheer. When the prison doors closed on him at Atlanta Saturday, the Southwest leader wept—deeply touched by the scene he had just left. A most remarkable demonstration had attended his departure from prison. As a prisoner in the prison had been suspended in his honor and the 2,300 inmates were permitted to give him a raising "sendoff." As he walked to the warden's office to receive his final release cheers from 2,300 inmates echoed through the great stone building. Early in the morning he said farewell to most of them individually. They embraced the "best behaved prisoner," as Debs was known in the Atlanta institution, and went as aparted from them. The last farewell was said to Sam Moore, Negro who has been an inmate of the prison since 1927, sent there from Washington for a murder committed when he was a murder committed when he was a boy. In the prison Deb was known as the "guardian of the Negro inmates," and Moore had struck up a close friendship during the three years of his confinement. Debs kissed the black man as they parted and both broke down. The Ellicottville Civic League announces its annual series of public meetings to be held at St. James A. M. E.

Okla. Jan. 2—Resolutions denying any person who resort to mob violence as a means of punishment for criminals and characterizing those persons who participate in the actions of a mob as "members of the criminal class" were adopted recently by the members of the Oklahoma Bar Association in convention here. The resolutions were only adopted after a bitter debate and general arrangement of recent mob outrages. Several Attorneys became involved in an old trial against a member of the Arab mob violence by Hassan Lounsbrough former United States District Attorney for the Eastern District Crowded Room In Pandemonium **Powered room in Fannahue.** Linebaugh's remarks were interpreted by most as a general defence of mob violence. For several minutes after he spoke the crowded room was thrown into pandemonium. Many conferences were on his feet at once enquiring to be recognized by the chair. Parliamentary rules were abandoned until the president restored order. Geo. R. Ramsey former State Supreme Court Justice of Mackay was finally given the floor. He delivered a terrible verbal attack on mob violence. In its every form and upon those persons who participated in or condoned such crimes, "Misunderstood" Linebaugh Says. Following Judge Ramsey's address, Linebaugh said that he had been misunderstood in some parts of his previous statements. He repeated that he was living in a right and proper thing that masked men recently did beat and otherwise mutilated a colored bell boy at a Muskogee hotel. By his name it is apparent that Linebaugh is of German Jewish extraction and it has been stated that his grandfather emigrated to America in the steerage of a trans Atlantic liner. His defense of mob violence in view of the fact that he has held responsible position under the federal government and his flying into the face of the laws by which only he can survive an injury can burrow a greater sinning (Oklahoma burrows) than his burrow in the history of the state. It is probable that without the opposition and interest interposed by his statements, however, that the resolution would not have received the large amount of interest and attention which has been given it. "Provoices and Increases Crimes." The Revolution "The Oklahoma Bar Association is Convention assembled, hereby declares that male violence, in all its forms, provokes and increases crime. We call upon the good citizens everywhere to lend their might in every harsh way but not otherwise, for punishment of men, high or low, or law who violate the law and we dismantle every officer who fails to enforce reasonable effort to enforce the law. Crime should be punished by the daily constituted officers of the law and after in public trial, as provided by law, where the accused may be confronted by witnesses. They who adopt unlawful means to suppress crime conclude and dishonor the very laws they falsely profess to uphold, thereby themselves joining the criminal class as part thereof. "Resort to crime must not be bad to punish crime. All law abiding men who are worthy of the best traditions of our country all good men who understand the evils which follow from attempting to suppress crime. A dismantling of crime will permit the law as written to take its course: if the law is wrong they will endeavor by lawful means to change it; if the officers of the law are unfailible they will aid in removing them by the processes of the law. If they know of crime they will openly and bravely, as real men ought, accuse the guilty, remembering always that if our state and nation are to endure we must have the reign of law and dismantle the rule of crime. "Tell the law and punishment for with all of its failures the law furnishes the only safe means for the preservation of our liberty and the security of our property." While all direct mention of the K. K. was carefully avoided, every lawyer present recognized the subtle "slips" which were contained in the resolution and aimed directly at the organization which has made mod malice law. By purity legal point of view all lawyers who are worth their salt live that are disturbed. Ku Klux Klan sets a president for malicious red radical anarchists, communists, and every other form of violent minority to have free and undisputed away in American communities.

Half, of that time later was given over to debate by Representative Dyer (Rep. of Missouri, author of the bill, and Representative Summers, Democrat of Texas, one of the leaders in the fight against it), who retreated arguments advanced by them in the majority and minority views of Judicial Committee members when the bill was favorably reported.

The Globe, the leading daily paper of Toronto in a new item has this to say of Dr. Turner's address: "The Globe, the leading daily paper of Toronto in a new item has this to say of Dr. Turner's address: "The Week With a Wasp," Dr. H. H. Turner of 80 loups who entertained the Society with his scientific studies of "the wasp." It is found that each wasp will only use the enterplants which it itself has brought, for when a enterplant is taken from one nest and put into another it is presumably renewed when the wasp returns. Sometimes wasps deliver the caterpillar to the wrong host; the second round hosts was disfigured by wire makes presses of the bits of cochineal, and it was a common occurrence for enterplants in wasps to enter the wrong hosts. This goes to show that the wasps are guided home by landmarks and is confined by instinct. Summer High School of this city being an instructor in biology which position he has held for many years.

Dyers in opening debate on his measure, declared it was imperative that the Federal Government afford protection to persons liable to suffer violence at the hands of mots. He told of a number of cases where the man killed had not been guilty of attacks on women. During his remarks Dyer pled tribute to the service rendered by acqp soldiers over soas and contended that members of th race were entitled to protection by the Federal Government. Summer's attacking the authority for a number of Dyer's statistics on lynchings, declared passage of the bill would increase rather than decrease mob violence and would have a tendenza to attack the measure on constitutional grounds, anting it would be an invasion of states' rights and devoted much of his time to discussion of the constitutional phase of the question.

AIR CASTLES GOOD NEWS-You can now obtain Silverware at our store at the same bedrock prices and on the same easy credit terms that you can obtain so many other articles. The kind? Well, we looked into the Silverware proposition pretty thoroughly before deciding that point, and we finally came to the conclusion that the lines manufactured by the Oneida Community—the famous COMMUNITY PLATE, guaranteed for 50 years, RELIANCE PLATE, guaranteed for 25 years, and PAR PLATE, guaranteed for 10 years—offered by far the best value for the money. So we have stocked all three lines of this well known Silverware. In COMMUNITY PLATE we have for your choice the Adam, Grosvenor, Patrician and Sheraton patterns; in RELLANCE PLATE, the Exeter, and in PAR PLATE the Vernon and Bridal Wreath. COMMUNITY has a world-wide reputation for the beauty and correctness of its patterns—COMMUNITY PLATE is used on the tables of such wealthy and socially prominent persons as Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt, Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Mrs. Honore Palmer, the Duchess of Malborough and the Duchess of Rutland. While there are few women who do not know of COMMUNITY Plate and who do not desire some of it for their own tables, not all have been in a position to pay cash for their needs in this line. Our plan makes it possible for you to take home a set of the most beautiful Silverware made and immediately enter upon the pleasure of its possession and use without any payment whatever. Terms are arranged practically to meet your own convenience. Call soon and let us show you our assortment of this high quality Silverware. Open until 6:30 p. m.

Magnolia, a seventeen year old girl, lay huddled upon a pile of bags at a factory where she had gone in search of employment which had been refused because of her very apparent illness, having just been relased from the City Hospital. The Provident Association visitor took her to the Central Office where it was learned that she had been reared by an aunt and a negligent father who died some three years ago. Magnolia was soon cast out by her aunt and has worked here and there and everywhere, begging at times, sleeping under doorsteps, and twice ushering into the world children out of wedlock. Twice had this frall mother gone down to grief. Twice had she been at death's door. Her face was pinched and drawn and her eyes were filled with worry. On that morning the Provident Association put clean clothes on her, let her rest at the Women's Lodge and gave her a change of clothing and a suitable place where she might comfortably convalesce. But Magnolia became ill again and without friends or means she had to be furnished food, rent, and clothing by the Provident Association. When she did convalescce she was given a suitable job by the Urban League. But the Provident Association continued to watch over her and guide her from time to time. A few weeks ago when seen by the Provident visitor in smiles Magnolia said, "What would I have done without the Provident?"

THEATRES BLACK SWAN TROUBADOURS AN ARTISTIC SENSATION AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON The Black Swan Troubadors are presenting the most artistic and harmonious musical show, this week, that has ever appeared at the Booker Washington Theatre. Jazz that depletes the temperament of the singer rather than an extent conscious conglomeration of noises, is to be heard: At times there is a most deserving harmony that would do justice to the classics. The feature attraction is Miss Eldred Waters, whose sweet voice blend into the tones from the band and penetrates the audience without any apparent effort at force. Her numbers include: "One Man Nan," "Oh, Daddy," "There'll Be Some Changes Made," and "Down Home Blues." The Jazzmasters, featuring their eccentric drummer, Raymond Green, present "Tiger Kag," "Weary Blues," "Royal Garden Blues," and "Handy's" "Shake It and Break It Blues." The renditions by this lively organization surpasses anything previously heard here. The other members are Eugene Alkens, trombone; D. C. Moshy, saxophone; Gius Alkens, cornet; Charles Jackson, violinist; G. Bushel, clarinet; Chas. J. Elder, tenor saxophone and F. Henderson, piano, in charge of the band. A decidedly entertaining feature of the show is the sensational toe dancing of Miss Ethel Williams, who is a finished artist. She is assisted by Francoel Manley, the company manager whose characterization of the "Legit" tramp is a big winner. Raymond Green renders three xyphone numbers including a four hammer, spike, Joseph Elder does a saxophone and piano solo sandwiched with a luscious monologue. Gau Alexis sings, dances and creates a storm of applause with his "Bugle Blues" played on a cornet. The show is making a big bit and will close the engagement Sunday night in a blaze of glory. GOOD VAUDEVILLE NEXT WEEK A high class Nandville show, of four acts, will be presented; at the BNAC戏 Washington Theatre next week beginning Monday. It will include W.

It is a during romance of a country girl-adult in a city city, who overcomes every obstacle and becomes the most famous model in the world. On Sunday, this theatre will present Hoot Gobson in "Sure Fire." It is the story of a vargondb cowpuncher who makes good for a girl. Next "The Thursday the Star will present "A Child For Sale." It is based on the present economic conditions andolytes into the aches andills of our great middle class, the class that neither has the great wealth of the capitalists nor yet the skill of the laborer and still acts as the cement that holds these two tremendous institutions capital and labor together. AT THE COMET Al Jennings, the ex-bandit, and all ground ex-bard man will appear in person at the Conet Theatre Saturday in conjunction with his thrilling picture, "The Lady of the Dugout." On Sunday, William Duncan will be presented in "Where Men are Men. It is the story of a youth who spent several years in the Death Valley gold region in search of a fortune. He comes out of the desert shrouded in mystery and penniless. He is best by friends and enemies. A letter and a singer in a mining camp dance half clear the mystery and bring him a fortune and a wife. Next Thursday and Friday the Comet will present "By Right Of Birth" a Lincoln picture, with all colored cast featuring Clarence Brooks. It is a romance of laughter and tears sparkling with incident and comedy situations. A six-reel photoplay typically racial in appeal, yet free from racial propaganda such as has been characteristic in several similar productions attempted by other concerns. THE JESTAMERE Louise Glaum in "Greater Than Love" will be featured at the Jesterme Theatre this Sunday and Monday. It is a screen story of Mother faith and a spiritual message couched in a delightful drama. Next Wednesday and Thursday, this theatre will present, "The Call. Of His People" with an all star cast of prominent Colored artists. The story tells of the rapid rise in the commercial world of a young colored man who masqueraded as white and with few exceptions, had everybody convinced of the deception, that he was not of the colored race. When he attempted to renew the old love with his former sweetheart, she rebukes him with, "When you come to me as one of my own people—them and not before then, can we hope to resume our friendship." After many thrilling and interesting incidents that happen during the development of the story, this young man is finally brought to the full realization of his error when his friend, and employer tells him, "It's not creed or color that matters—it's the man that counts." "The Faith Healer" will be the attraction at the Criterion this Saturday. The story pictures the career of a South western shepherd who receives a call to go into the world and heal the sick and the suffal. He performs his mission until what he deems a great temptation comes to him, and he deeds his healing power - waning. Then there comes a co-ordination of his forces and a splendid solution to his problem - he finds happiness and his mission can be continued. On Sunday, Charles Ray will be seen in "Two Minutes To Go." The special attraction for Thursday will be "Why Girls Leave Home." It tells of two girls: One who left because her natural youthful impulses and desires were repressed by a stern parent who had forgotten he was once young. The other had every whim and wish gratified and yet she left home. The question is Why? The answer is most dramatically depleted in the photo-drama. THE PENDLETON Vivian Martin in "The Song of the Soul," will be featured at the Pendleton 'tls Sunday, and Monday. It deals with a blind beauty and a, disfigured man—the beast, and of how their common misfortunes were finally blended, through self-sacrifice and love, into an enduring and happy marriage. "The Great, Lover," will be presented on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tom Mix in "The Rough Diamond" will be the special picture on Thursday and Friday. This is the photoplay in which Mix essays an entirely new role in a different type of story than is usually given him, and in this role—combining delightful comedy, romantic adventure and thrilling feats—he has achieved an undoubted triumph. At Jennings will appear in person, "the Olympia theatre this Saturday with his photoplay, 'The Lady of the Dug-out.' This ex-hamilit is a most interesting character and holds his audience spell bound as he relates the story of his past experience. It is more thrilling and more romantic, because truth is infinitely more intertwining than action. On Sunday the Olympia will present "A Child For Sale." This is a straight from the shoulder, hard-hitting, condemnation of the present the evils or reintroffering. The cast includes, Gladys Leslie, Cedentham Hale, and Julia Swaryne-Gordon besides the two talented children, Bobby Comely and Ruth Rullivan. This is the first picture which puts forth in dramatic form the story of the injustices practised today by unscrupulous landlords. It is the kind of a picture which will not fade from the memory when you leave the theatre and it is the kill. A story that will do a great deal toward alleviating the horrors of unjust rents.

Dr. William Pickens in a recent Negro Press, speaks of the one big Negroes of the country should be feared. The statement, so our mind is a serious consideration by the best the one big organization with operating under proper leadership, is a group in America couldn't wrestle, power and influence of itself remove most of the handicap we suffer. Not An Idle The need, the great need of us, seen to the most simple among us, question that demands the attention to be done? It there a nucleus for existence? If so, what organization To federate five or six millions far from the impossible. The mind from the Lakes to the Gulf an million strong to unite in a move oak of bondage which we age forceess of our souls. It is no idle dreation. The statement, so our mind is a good one and should be given serious consideration by the best thinkers of the race. The one big organization with five or six million members, operating under proper leadership, will remove mountains. We as a group in America couldn't wish for more. The potential strength, power and influence of such an organization, would in itself remove most of the handicaps and disabilities from which we suffer. Not An Idle Dream The need, the great need of such an organization is so plain even to the most simple among us will agree. But the one big question that demands the attention of the best minds is, how can it be done? It there a nucleus for such an organization already in existence? If so, what organization is it? To federate five or six million Negroes into one organization is far from the impossible. The masses, from Maine to California, and from the Lakes to the Gulf are ready. They are ready six million strong to unite in a move to free themselves from the yoke of bondage which we age forced to carry in the gall of bitterness of our souls. It is no idle dream to talk of such an organization. A Question of Leadership Another big question is that of leadership. Its easy for us to declare for the masses that they are ready—yes, teaming millions are ready to march as it were, to the first tap of the drum. But what about the leaders? Or the would-be leaders? Is it possible to get them together? Another big question is that of declare for the masses that they are ready to march as it were, but what about the leaders? Or possible to get them together? We know this would be a hard one. To be sure it will call for for personal gain. It will require will mean a coming together and a news. It will mean that we are.

Of course, there are other organs out, we would suggest, and will plan that will have for its object theers of the Big Four Organizations from each organization in a about two days will be a wonderfu We know this would be a hard job, yet we think it can be done. To be sure it will call for sacrifice of personal anbition, for personal gain. It will require the give and take spirit! It will mean a coming together and a frank discussion of each one's views. It will mean that we are able to reason together. When we think of the possibility of the one big organization, we can't but think of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African-Blood Brotherhood, all which have their Headquarters at New York. And too, we think of the Equal Rights League of Boston. These four organizations claim to be national in their scope. All seem to be working for the same goal, but in different directions. As a result of which, we find a conflict between them, which at times looks like a threatening war. Let us hope not. "A war between the forces that are working for our cause, is a losing game." The masses suffer when the leaders fight each other. Of course, there are other organizations of minor importance but, we would suggest, and will give our hearty approval of any plan that will have for its object the getting together of the leaders of the Big Four Organizations. We think that about two leaders from each organization in a heart to heart conference for about two days will be a wonderful revelation to all the world. Now that, John S.

In the distribution of State and Federal patronage, the Negro has received very little consideration at the hands of "his friends." When it comes to distribution of patronage, we do not hear that friendly voice "come on boys" which we heard just prior to election time. It looks to us like it is a grab-all game, and the fellow who is in the lead gets the pie and forgets all about the fellow who helped him to forge ahead. We have always thought that since the Republicans were in power in this State and Nation, that a Negro should be appointed, Revenue Collector here, but the party leaders were afraid to set a precedent by recommending a Negro for the place. So now, Mr. Leahy has been appointed collector, he surely has the courage to appoint a Negro his chief deputy as a matter of right and justice. WHERE ARE THOSE JOBS? We are wondering what has become of the four hundred jobs that the Governor had at his disposal at the beginning of his administration? So far as we can see only four Negroes have been appointed. That being the case, by the rule of mathematics, the Negro's appointments ranks one to every one-hundred jobs. A New Year brings new things to pass. Many things that we haven't even dreamed are possible—so we wouldn't be surprised of we saw during this year plans far under way to federate its written colored Americans.

Jan. 2—(Special) The funeral services of the Reverend Mr. Pierre Laundry, Saturday afternoon in Progressive Baptist Church of which the Reverend Mr. J. L. Burrell, D. D. is pastor, was the most beautiful and impressive as well as the most historical ever held over the remains of a member of our race in this city in many respects. It was not in the great crowds that JOHN H. BROWN THE LATE RIV. PIERCE LANDRY turned out; it was not in the poudre of the coconades or in the elaborate expenditure of money in preparing for the funeral; it was rather in the program at the church where true mourners had gathered in respect for the dead and in honor of the memory of one well deserving of tributes from his fellowmen. It was in the simple but forceful facts sold by disinterested and distinguished men of both races who knew the dead in life long and many years intimately and what he did as a citizen, as a churchman, as a statesman and as a man of family. It was in the testimony of the faith and the logic the disgusted gaze of blyms he had requested to be sing in his church and the message those harvoured to his gourmiers as to the harmonies of transition for those who believed in the Word of Life and trusted faithfully in the promise of the Son of God to reward those who love and serve God and man as their first duty. The Honorable Linden E. Bentley, deputy Collector of Constants, port of New Orleans, for the past eighteen years who know the Reverend Mr. Pierre Landry intrigued for 50 years, more than 30 years of which he and the deceased lived in the town of Donaldsonville, *Ascension Parish*, where Mr. Bentley first became acquainted with Mr. Landry when the former went there to establish and did establish "The Donaldsonville Church," a weekly newspaper published 20 years old, in that section, was the first of the speakers to tell about the life and the career of the Reverend Mr. Landry in the affairs of Ascension Parish as a public servant and citizen. What Mr. Bentley said of the Reverend Mr. Pierre Landry was at once most highly interesting as striking facts and valuable as a tribute by one of the most conservant and thoughtful white men in the State paid to a man of the other race only and simply because the man fully and justly deserved it. Mr. Bentley declared that the Reverend Pierre Landry was not only the most genuinely active colored man that he know always striving to do the best he could for the benefit of his own race in Ascension Parish but was at the same time one that was ever for amenable relations and peace and good will between the white and colored people there. Mr. Bentley called being reliably informed shortly after arriving at Donaldville to live, that it was the Reverend Mr. Pierre Landry that saved the town during the early yrroumbous days of Reconstruction when the town was about to be invaded by flatteners from the neighboring parish at St. James who had traced of blood be a murderous fight of politicis of the two parishes and were bent upon taking more blood by seaking the town through armed invasion, the Reverend Pierre Landry, Mr. Bentley said, mounting a white hope on hearing of the advancing invaders, and going into the invaders and perishing them to hear him and defeat the invaders were already near the gates of the town and were thirsty for as carnage of blood, but the Rev Landry had them to give up the terrible purpose of their awful, errand and Thus Donaldsonville was saved from bloodless and rapipe. Mr. Bentley suggested that this nec act of heroism put antitrust on the part of Mr. Landry was enough in itself withoutunting the other many real patriotic services he rendered the people to cation him to the love respect and administration of all the citizens of the town and warish for generations. The fact that this glorious circumstance of more than half a century ago finds echo today in the public speech of a man of the standing, integrity and familiarity with records of persons and events for the past fifty years in the State, of Mr. Rentley goes to show that but for the color of the Reverend Mr. Landry, a monument would be erected to his memory in Donaldsonville by its grateful residents. The curiously telling the past history of the parts played by a number of colorful men of the state in Reconstruction days and reveals the facts in the domain of truth about their worth and the credit due them for the great things they did for the good name of people and state. Much more of creditable things done by Mr. Landry's efforts, influence and wisdom for the people of Louisiana was brought out during Mr. Rentley's impressive tribute to him as a citizen and public servant—things said which were generously sustained and correlated by the history of Mr. Landry in his family given, by the writer; THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 6, 1922 Ex-governor H. C. Warmoth speaking of the deceased reminiscent and expressing a sincere wish that all the white people of the state and south were present to witness for themselves by the eyed stores him what one colored man alone had done not only by himself, as a citizen and father but for the state in giving great services and worthy and notable children all respected for their education, their success in life's pursuits and their standing in their respective communities; by the Reverend Mr. John Marks speaking of him as a churchman; by the veteran physician and surgeon Dr. J. T. Newman calling of al the credit due the dead for the medical and surgical institution colored people have in this city, and by the pastor of the Progressive Baptist Church relating how the lamented Reverend Landry planned and worked out in every detail the building of the very house of worship in which the services were being held a storm proof structure of modern conveniences. Ex-governor Warmoth said that if all the white people would be present, what they would see and hear of the colored people, of the beautiful ceremonies over one of their number, father of 14 well educated children all in professional life or business life and shining marks in their respective communities would be certain to change their attitude of opposition toward the colored race and to destroy the unjust prejudices, disfruisement and other oppressive measures denying colored people the ballot. Many floral offerings—were received from various parts of the country and placed upon the beautiful casket. The singing by the choir of the Progressive Baptist, Church, and the solos sung, and scripture readings were all of the soul-moving kind. The Masons of which the deceased was a member of a lodge in this city followed the body and held the final ceremonies at the grave in Carrollton (Cemetery). The Reverend Mr. Pierre Landry was the years before son of the first marriage and two of of the second. Eleven children are living, nine of the first marri- age and two of the second. They are Palmerston Landry, principal of the high school *Phoenix*, Arizona; Mrs. Margarite *Landry-Terrell*, a teacher of the faculty of Houston College, Houston, Texas, of which her husband Prof. Terrell is president; Charlie *Landry*, graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary and minister of the M.E. Church, N. O. La.; L. Bea- connel Landry, a graduate in Medicine and surgery, practicing his pro- fession in New Orleans and a surgeon for the Southern Pacific R. R. Louis Landry of St. Louis, Mo., doing well in Commercial lines; Joseph Landry, in the R. R. services; living in New Orleans; Eldridge Landry, Ph.

Church, who went and spent several years as missionaries in Africa with her husband; Mrs. Georgia Gibson, a teacher in the public school of Jefferson parish. They are all of the first marriage and I am educated of the second marriage three years after the second of his first wife, there are O. Willard Landry, M. D. of Chil- ford and Mrs. H. H. Dunn, wife of the secretary of his A. M. A. Schools in the South. Rev. Landry left a dea- d old sister also. It was beautiful to witness the love and tender devotion of the children and sister during his last illness. Are you tidy? Do not answer the question yourself, but ask your most intimate friend whether you are or not. It is very important that you should know, for your success in life is determined more targetly by dress today than ever before. This does not mean that one's apparel must be flashy, or over stylish, but it does mean that one should be neat, trim, and "well pressed up." It is true that some men achieve greatness in spite of their personal appearance. Lincoln, Henry Clay, Patrick Henry and many others are excellent examples. But the importance of dress was not so much emphasized in that day as in hours, still these men are always pictured in shabby clothes. A young man of young woman seeking a position today may not be blessed with regular features, but if he or she knows how to present a neat face, she chances are they will take care and even promoted over their coworkers who may have a little better mental grasp on their work. Young women who follow clerical work know the very great importance of a neat fresh appearance. It is a sound business proposition with them. But it is a great pity that the employers do not hold the mirror up to themselves sometimes and see how shabby they appear to their employees. If they did their offices would present a better appearance, their desks would look more like a place of work than of shirk. A tidy man may be born, but hapily he can be MADE. Thanks goodness it is a habit and can be acquired by anyone. But how much better if begin early in Life. Children should early be taught the importance and necessity of tidiness. The greatest lesson which a teacher can bring to her pupils is that of personal neatness and cleanliness. And fortunately, children will improve their own personal appearance by noticing their companions if they look "spic and suan." As we usher 'in the New Year, let us freshen up our shirt waists and rolls a little more often, put an extra touch on our shoes more frequently, and send our children to school with their hair neatly combed and their apparel nicely laundered. This indebted is racial improvement and progressing the finest type! MISSOURI NEGRO REP. LFAGUE CLUB ANNUAL SUMMARY The Missouri Negro Republican League Club will meet Monday night 8 P. M. January 9th, 1922 at their Headquarters, 324 Market Street, for their annual election of officers. All members are requested to attend. The Board of Directors will meet Friday night, 8 P. M., Jan. 6th, 1922. President White wishes all Directors to be present. The Grand Old Missouri Club points with pride to the achievements of 1921. Beginning this year, January 2, 3, and 4th, the Club brought to the Gaye Theatre for three big midnight frolics the Darktown Folkie playing My Friend From Kentucky. This was the only big colored show to play in St. Louis in 1921. January 10th, the annual election was held and the present officers were elected. The Ladies Anxiliary was admitted to full membership. With the appointment of the Republican Board of Police, the Club immediately opened fight for Uniform Negro Police. The Club at once entered the City campaign and in February inderset Mayor Kiel. A big Kiel mass meeting was held at the Tabernacle Baptist Church. After the primary, which resulted in the nomination of Mayor Kiel, the Club in March, held the largest mass of the campaign at Crescent Hall, 21st and Olive streets. With the re-election of Mayor Kiel, the Club again opened negotiations for a Negro Fire Company, which were brought to a successful finish when a Negro Fire Company was appointed on May 10th. This also marks the date on which the Club moved into their new Headquarters, 3434 Market Street. May 14th Charles H. Baker was sent to Jefferson City to represent the Club at a conference with Governor Hyde concerning the Boxing Green lynching. This conference paved the way for the introduction of an anti-lynching bill by representative Walthall M. Moore. In June Miss Annie L. Voorhies, Associate Secretary of the Club, on endorsement of the club was appointed as a clerk at the special session of the legislature by Representative Moore. June 6th tech Club opened a fight for a prominent office for a St. Louis Negro by indorsing Dr. Chus. H. Phillips for Registrar of the Treasury, and later on for Minister to Hayti. The Club worked for harmony but because of the selfish interests of a few St. Louis Negroes it ended by Dr. J. R.A. Crossland being appointed to the War Risk Bureau and a man from Kansas being appointed Minbeer to Hayti. June 27th a telegram was sent Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts, indorsing his fight for the enforcement of the 14th Amendment. During the month of July the Club appointed a committee to investigate and render all possible aid to the colored people of Kirkwood to prevent the removal of their school to Mencham Park. The committee vailed Kirkwood and conferred with those interested and advised with them what action to take, they also got in touch with Ex-Congressman Fred Essen who promised to lend his influence in behalf of the Kirkwood colored people. The matter is still in the Court. August 27th the Police affairs were brought to a successful close with the appointment of 12 Negro Uniform Police. September 27th, the Club called a mass meeting at the Tabernacle Baptist Church to condemn the Ku Klux Klan. This meeting was attended by over 2000 citizens. A revolution was adopted demanding t that the Mayor make public his views concerning the u Ku Klux Klan, which resulted in the Mayor on the following day announcing through the press that he was quantitatively opposed to the Klan. September 19th, Nat Goldstein was endorsed for Postmaster, and the League of Wipaen Voters were condemned for their opposition and light on Republicans in general and Goldstein in particular. In September some members of the Board of Aldermen talked of introducing an ordinance prohibiting women from operating elevators. The Club at once went on record as opposing any such ordinance because, it would operate chilts out of position. The ordinance was never introduced. A committee also went before the Republican City Committee asking for the appointment of colored women as clerks in the various offices. October 7th. Alderman Nangle introduced in the Board of Aldermen a resolution condemning the Ku, Khux Klan. Five of the Aldermen and the President voted for the resolution and twenty two refused to vote. A special session of the Club was called and the secretary was introduced to write thanking those who refused to vote, and asking those who refused to vote on what grounds they based their refusal. October 14th the resolution was recalled and fourteen voted for it. October 3rd, a resolution was passed by the Club asking for a Negro Delegato to the Constitutional Convention. December 5th, Wm. C. Matthews was endorsed by the Club on account of ill health, Mr. Matthews decided not to enter the race and on the 19th the Club endorsed Prof. B. P. Bowles. The Club called a mass meeting at the Tibercure Baptist Church on December 22nd, and Prof. Bowles was endorsed by a large group of citizens. He was nominated by a big majority at the 32nd District of December 23rd. January 3rd, a telegram was sent Congressman Dyer pleading him the support of the club in his fight for the anti-lynching bill, and asking every member of the Missouri delegation to support the bill. These are only a few of the many things accomplished by this great political organisation during the year, and with the help and co-operation of the colored citizens of St. Louis they will do bigger, and better things in the future. Our doors are open to every Republican colored man and woman in St. Louis, and if you are really in earnest in making a fight for the rights of citizenship and manhood, the right to vote and have that vote counted, the right not to be lynched and jimmerowed, the right to fair trials in court, and the right to be free from control of such outlaws help this organization which is make as the Kn Klux Klum come on and ing that fight for you. tre this Saturday. The story depicts the great poverty inflicted by the American people upon the school teachers and clergymen of the country. In this story, poverty and low wages paid to a college professor drives the wife to the verge of theft to provide for an ill daughter. On Sunday, this theatre will present "The Face of the World." The story tells of the adventures and misadventures of a young married couple and of many thrilling adventures, among which may be mentioned the wrecking of a high-powered motor car and the burning of a three-story building. Starting Thursday and continuing every Thursday, the Casino will show Eddie Polo in "The Secret." A combine of unsturprising money harbors is intent also on securing control of the vast oil fields. The efforts of these two organizations to deprive America of these wonderful natural resources, sufficient to supply the U. S. Navy with an unlimited amount of fuel and make it the dominant sea power, in the world, get Jim into a series of perilous adventures more exciting and hazardous than any hitherto filmed. AT THE LINCOLN "Desert Blessons," a William Fox picture starring William Russell, will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday. It is a story of love and adventure in and about the workings of a great government irrigation project, and involves the efforts of schemers to bribe or trick construction engineers into accepting inferior material regardless of the appalling loss of property and even human life that might result. Nell Shipman in "The Girl From God's Country," will be the attraction at the Lincoln Sunday. Beautiful snow scenes taken in - the Canadian North Woods offer the finest bit of photography scent in years. The little Nell Shipman animal actors; including Brownie, the bear, do some great work in the North Woods scenes. Another feature of the plot - is a thrilling airplane battle 6,000 feet in mid-air in which Miss Shipman makes a daring leap by parachute when the wing of her plane is broken in the encounter. This is the greatest airplane scene ever made for a motion picture. Dancing Tag Hartgraves, and Nat Muse scored a bit at the Railroad Men's Convention, Eagle's Hall. New Years' Eve. Muse's singing of "Ol' Pal," and Tag's new soft shoe dancer combined with an eccentric number drew several encounters.

TWO NEW SONGS BY A ST. LOUIS COLORED MAN Two new songs, "Anu" and "Chumble, My Own Chum," have just been published by a St. Louisian, Jesse Q. Robinson. 413rd Cook Avenue. Both are sentimental, depicting natural affecta tion with tender words set to sweet melodies. The compositions are the work of Mr. Robinson assisted by Herman A. Hummel. They are of the class that fit well in any one's musical library and I'd fare to be among this year's favorites.

The play which was written, staged and directed by William Harold King former editor of the Central Afro-American, drives home one of the most vital lessons of the hour relative to Negro enterprises and the future of our boys and girls. The cast was composed of members of the Prudence Crandall Club, most of whom are public school teachers, ably assisted by a number of young men who represent St. Louis' best dramatic talent. That the play was well received by the large and appreciative audience was manifested by the liberal applause following each scene. the principal characters were; Ernest Hutchinson, Leo. B. Dickerson, Miss Maude Kennedy, Jas Davies, Goe. Ellis, Walter Robinson, Mrs. Julia Davis Buckner, Miss Barbara Hudlin, Mrs. Julia Thomas Ellis, Miss Georgiana I. Dickson, Dickson Edward, Edwina Charlotte H. Johnson, Daniel Lee, Miss Josephine C. Banks, Washington Rochester and William Thomas. The story opens with the graduating exercises of the Prudence *Campbell High School*. Anna Jackson, and Paul Miller, two of the graduates with ambitions, upon seeking positions in the commercial field meet with foreseen obstacles due to race prejudice. Thomas and Hilda Clark, realizing the need of race business enterprises wherein young men and women of ability might find employment, invest their savings in the grocery business, trusting to race patronage for the success of their undertaking, but are forced out of business from lack of patronage. James White, a prosperous white grocer, ninety per cent of whose customers are Negroes, is also a member of the Ku Klux Klan and secretly plots the passage of Jim Crow and segregation laws against Negroes. Rev. Phineus G. Brown, pastor of the Community Church, and Prof. A. C. North, principal of the Prudence Crandall High School, are regular customers of Jas. White, until they are confronted with the closing of Thomas Chark's store and learn of the experiences of Anna Jackson and Paul Miller. The minister and principal are both converted to the fact that race enterprises can only be fostered by race patronage and that the principal avenues of employment for race graduates are in the fed of race enterprises. The net proceeds from the play, will be used by the Prudence Crandall club to establish a Scholarship Fund; the first of its kind to be started by any club in the city.

Negroes also have merited and pant de Negroes from a con- tract which they daily experience. They are trying for resumes (from the con- tracts they suffer from) closest sho- trades, and places for intern and en- ployment, from the tricks and explo- tations, high socializing, phrases of plo- ders them or roll exams. The day a passed when more spare time with- int any fruit or protection can an- vive all of us all the time, or fair recognition of the manhole liftin- ces and an adequate share in vie- ries gained or when one or two ramonlaging, high sounding offe- ries are given to one or two Colored peo- ple to tattle in with the hope thereby a soothe the Negro Americans to sleep till next general election. The Negro today is all but a political zero, after elections state and national but on his own account. 'What has made him so?' Certainly not the unburied loyalty, fidelity and patriotism, to party and nation and to his so-called friends. The entire history of the Negro in America has been superior as to merit to elbish the Japanese, Chinese, Bulgarian: Russian or any other foreigners, as well as superior to the once slacking South. All these are now and have been accorded full bosomed American citizenship liberties and privileges, but many are yet to be trusted in peril and war times as Negro Americans are to be refused upon. It is time for the whole country to ask what has the Negro done so blightedly and disgracefully that he is yet made 15 suffer as being the outcast with fewer privileges in all achievements and emoluments following victories than any other American group? It is now up to the intelligent, thoughtful, everywhere, to play and act the man the American man. And this is to get to our own bosom and hearts and muscles, work our own salvation. Trust none but proven friends of whatever political party are esteemed and stood for economic gains, more employment for ourselves and our own people and our children. Cities can't save; country, and lands can't save, except as we work and produce out on these. Both cities towns and country can be used better. If we organize labor and cooperate along scientific, industrial, moral and spiritual and health lines, all for the betterment of ourselves and fellow This is no dream, it's not theory, but hard unwriting, untoward conditions. Negroes face all over America. Whether clean and educated large taxpayers, whether we muster a million or 5 million votes, whatever his character or education wealth or standing whether he is 100% loyal and patriotic American, the truth is that no Negro gets at present, the respect and friendly treatment universally in America as Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, Jews, Turks, Bulgarians, Poles, Swedes. Borgians or Hawaiians, or Filipinos, receive. "The fault is not in our stars" as our white Christian fellow citizens often tell us, but in ourselves. Our race's lack of economy, saving, thrift, they say that cooperation, that constructive capacities are not in the darker races. Don't ever believe this. If it were true, there would be no good reason to worship one just, true and all God. Never for once believe that our God had respect unto persons. Rather let us all know that our undeveloped capacities and powers that any that our forefathers suffered and survived. It behooved Christ and it will, become us also to suffer. Our past suffering has been almost wholly forced. The suffering before us will be voluntary, self imposed, and glorious. Like the poor Israelites. Like the butchered and oppressed Helots of Greece, like the Russian pennants, the persecuted Pilgrims and Furitans of England. Negro Americans may have to get out from among and build up for themselves, whatever is God's way. We all do know that our destiny is with us and God who makes all mankind work out their own salvation. This will never be done by might and wealth and worldly power alone. It will be done by the fear and love of God in our hearts. The Supreme Creator loves and respects his poor. No nation has yet survived that desplied its poor. There should be tears and prayers and sorrow for the haughty and proud who rob the poor and weak either of God given privileges or who malm, mistreat murder or mob the helpless who are without the law or protection. Let no Negro faller or his devotion to the flag to his fellowman, his country state and God. Let all be exceeding glad that no mob or lynching spirit of hearts is shut up in Negro bodies. For God has taken care of his own of Negro Americans. We have grown from 19 at Jamestown to 13 million and nearly everywhere in America, we can be honest, truthful, saving, if you so desire. We can labor, lay, build and spend as we please. There are notable and glaring exceptions as to our freedom to labor not amuch more glaring than for others. Labor Unions unchristian, in American, have fetched in this effect. Asatik, cast, notion that a man wanting to work and another has work to do agree, the price, yet some upper overlord luring delegate, boss, says he can't work, else he'll make 100 or 100$ or probably 10,000 others quit. This rotten staff will have to fall out of America where every man is a free man first, before he is even a Unionite or a Christion or an officer. Let Negroes all get themselves together and march on, singing as they go. "Free at last, free, trusting, only in God and my own arms and mind and muscles for final deliverance. There must not be any plea up hated or malice in Negro hearts." God has made us to show others how to laugh and sing; how to bless those that curse, mistreat us and to prove ourselves the best friends our fair hudgers have not bought with gold. All people were made to love and serve each other; some as heath, others as body, some as feet. Yet all hating and mistrusting each other, nor joined together, not for despairing and for the head and body to burger the feet and to say "We have no need of these," all are one, but for sharing each other's sorrows and joys, and mutual burdens and woes. It has never yet profitted a state, a nation, or a community to gain the whole, yet lose its own soul in ruthlessly tramping the liberties and just rights of its poor developed masses. Every human being has a right to be treated kindly and be given a full chance to grow for "he climbs higher who helps another up." People should be just and fear not a suicidal public sentiment. Some are too afraid of losing caste and scandal among inpen to speak out boldly for human rights to all. But Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, never lost in life and are vastly bigger after death than any Calhoun, Haynes, Roome, Divis, or Filman who wanted and would have some men always down. It never has paid to its fair and unjust. People should live to make life less difficult to each other. Americans must be just. No The St. Louis Argus THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 6, 1922 THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. DR. WILLIAM CRANE DR. CRANE CONDUCTS REVIVAL By A. L. Gardner Dr. Wm. Crane, formerly of St. John C. M. E. Church, Detroit and destined by fate to be a great preacher of the Gospel impressed a great crowd last Sunday morning. a crowd that filled all available space in Lanie Tabbernacle Those who hear Dr. Crane once are desirous to hear him again. This was evidenced by the large crowd Sunday night. Monday night and all this week and by the great enthusiasm of the great and happy audiences that have caused Rev. N. L. Smith the pastor to continue the revival throughout next week. Dr. Crane is unlike most ministers who preach a good sermon, and spoil its good aftermath by preaching a bad sermon. He is known for happy and just when to unplug. Taking an inventory of life was the subject used last Sunday morning. It was the intention of the speaker to convince his hearers that they could all live, a better life this year than last, that they could accomplish a little more, both for themselves and God. It was a mighty sermon. Ten sons that battled against religious impulses for a short while surrendered graceful gray Americans too must be economical as well as industrious. For after all we each must bear our own burdens, for "responsibilities" gravitate to those who can shoulder them. INTERNATL CONFERENCE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR WILL MEET IN WASHINGTON Order Has Changed His Position And Will Convene With The Shriners In August. The International Conference, of the Knights Templar, which was scheduled to meet in Louisville, Kentucky next August, has changed its position and attitude and will hold its biennial conclave in Washington, D.C. next August. This was the final decision of the Advisory Board of the organization at a meeting held several days ago. This integration explains a matter that has been of particular interest, to the Knights Templar and Shriners thru out the United States for many months. The Shrinees Convention, held here during last summer, settled on Washington as the city in which to hold its annual meeting in August. The fact that a greater proportion of the constituency of the Shrine Order claims membership also with the Knights Templar department, it is said that at this period when the whole fabric of Negro Freemasonry is undergoing careful and scrutinizing inquiry, it is ingenually necessary that the two upper branches of the order convene in the Capital City at the same time. These conventions will assemble the highest type and most responsible men of our Race. There they will be under inspection by the representatives of our government, portraits and other dignitaries of foreign governments. This gathering of high Masons will present our best to those who are sentilent makers and they will view the Negro Massale family at its height. It is thought that the recent agreement of the Knights to go to Washington in August was brought about through the strategy of Imperial Potentate Caesar R. Blake, Jr. of Charlotte, N. C., who has vigorously contended for it, for the good of the Stirline and the other appendant bodies of Masonry. Dr. E. S. Dickerson of Indianapolis, Ind., president of the Advisory Board, International Conference of Knights Templar, will issue a proclamation advising the Friars throughout the country that the next session of the Knights Templars will be held in Washington. The August meeting will be attended by the largest body of burials and Knights Templar ever assembled. The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 4—Daily on rate occasions does the President direct that the house of the White House be lowered to half staff. It has been lowered in the case of "death of some foreign potentate or rules of a foreign land or President of the United States. When Rosevelt died the flag was at half staff for thirty days. This flag when raised over the executive mansion, does not that the President is in Washington and it is never flown when the President is away from the capital. ly attended the church. The climax was reached Sunday night when Dr. Crane spoke from St. John 15:13. "Greater love hath on man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Dr. Crane proved to us thus this message that he was gifted prudigiously, and an incompatible genius in the rostum. After leaving the Garden of Eden Sunday night, we were ushered into the vaulted chambers of Heaven around the dazzling throne of God we linked arms with Dr. Crane as if he was a guide for whom Heaven gates had swung apart. We embarked with the speaker through Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel and clatted with Christ through St. John. Allusions seemed to bubble spontaneously and the speaker information he pictured words into Heavenly space. It was a glorious evening. Dr. Crane squeezed happiness out of every one present. Five new members were added. Thus, God through Dr. Crane had made it so, it was a happier New Year for 15 souls. Quarterly meeting will be held Sunday. There will be preaching at 3 p.m., Dr. Crane will speak to the S. S. Sunday morning. Revival will continue all next week. Rev. N. L. Smith spoke to the Sunday School last Sunday morning. RESOLUTION ASKS THE PRESIDENT TO CALL AN ECONOMIC CONFERENCE RESOLUTION ASKS THE PRESIDENT TO CALL AN ECONOMIC CONFERENCE The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan.—A resolution by which President Harding would be "authorized and directed" to call an international economic conference was introduced in the Senate today by Senator France, Republican, of Maryland. The conference would be held in Washington in March 1922. The purpose of the conference to be set out in formal invitation were outlined as consultations "concerning formation of a more perfect general concert and union, establishment of general justice, assurance of general transitivity and promotion of general welfare." About fifty nations and states would are invited, including Austria Hungary, Ireland, Germany and Russia, and also Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay and Venezuela. VETERAN OFFICERS ANNUAL SESSION The Associated Negro Press PETERSHURG, Va. Jan. 4. The 6th annual session of the Veterans Officers Association was held, in this city at which time many questions as to the military status of our group in schools and colleges, the National Guard and a National Veteran Association, were asked. The suggestion that each state with an officer of the National Guard or of the late War would form State of inter-state Veteran Associations was well received and endorsed. "A History committee was appointed with Maj. W. H. Johnson, President, Petersburg, Va., as chairman. The meeting adjourned to meet Thanksgiving 1922 in the city of Richmond, Va. The following officers were elected: Maj. W. H. Johnson, President; Capt. E. J. Could, Norfolk, Vice President; Capt W. H. Henderson, Richmond, Secretary-Treasurer. THE PASSION PLAY The Associated Negro Press. OBORAMIERGUA, Germany, Jan. 4 —The long list of characters for the Passion Play which will be produced here in 1922 have been selected robberas by legend. The chief roles will be played by reverens, some of whom have participated in the presentation for forty years. Anton Lang will potray the character of Christ for the third time. Guido Diemer was selected for the choir leader. There has not been a performer of the play for eighty years that a Diemer was not the leader of the choir or one of the important singers in it. Guido Diemer took part in the war as an availer. The Passion Play committee decided not to violate Oberammergau tradition by permitting pictures to be taken of the play. American moving picture representatives approached the committee with offers of millions of marks, but their proposals were promptly rejected. SELIGMANN ON THE LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS Gathering Draws To A Close And Has Only Scratched The Surface Of World Adjustment. It is Clearly Shown That The Old Bargaining Spirit Dies Hard. This is the Ninth and last of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces Anterica," who is now director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. By HERBERT J. SELIGMANN NEW YORK. Jan. 4.—The Army at Conference draws to a close. No one, perhaps can say what it will have accomplished or failed to accomplish. Any one can realize that it has only scratched the surface of world adjustment. / During the final weeks, while England and France dispute over submarines, England insisting they shall be abolished and France insisting her share of them shall be tripled, during these final weeks, come reports of revolution in India of bloody clashes between Egyptians and British soldiers. In the United States, the men who insisted that war was evil, and denied those making war, Engene Dek, is released from prison. These things are as important as any conference could be. Men were sent to the conference to give as little as possible and get as much as possible in exchange. The prevailing attitude there was that of old-style Business, even though the medium of exchange, even though the medium of exchange consisted of death-death warships, cannon and submarines. At moments, perhaps, the Conference was seized and enlivened by the hope among people that there might be no war. As the conference comes to a close, however it is made clear that the old bargaining spirit dies hard. But the Armament Conference had its positive values. It was cloaked of a powerful desire among masses of people for explanation and adjustment rather than war. It made clear that the business needing to be done in the world is organization of food and clothing production and distribution so there shall be no famine areas. Besides, although the Conference was called to deal with problems of the Pacific Ocean—involving Japan, China, Australia and countless Pacific islands—it pointed back to the sore spots of Europe. The injustice that had been done to the Russian people by the governments which had blockedaded them began forcibly to be realized. In the game played between diplomats and business men, some few, at times, found the truth a powerful instrument—More trifish, if not the whole truth, began to be printed about Russia and it was found that it got Russia or Germany or Austria go to Russia would be to invite ruin for the rest of European—and eventually American civilization. Somehow, in the light of the truths men are beginning to feel the squabbles about navies and submarines seem incurably trivial. Mr. H. G. Wells gave utterance to this feeling when he remarked that it was boredom with the way men were spilling the world for themselves, rather than fear of death, that moved him. He said he was possessed by a vision of what the world and relations between people might be, if the present knowledge we already have were adequately used. In fact, death is not so led as having to live in the way some people have had to live in Central Europe and elsewhere. No so much Death, then, as the stumpities that small life are the enemy of mankind. Against these stupidity no Armament Conference could have very much to offer. Such a conference was necessarily a place of bargain, with one or two exceptionally generous moments. But the Armament Conference will have laid the way, even by its possible failure, for more conferences. And in these the changes going on in the world must find expression. A conference is not so much an occasion where things happen as an occasion where the things that have happened are recognized. If the feeling growing among a few men spreads, then at future conferences, after warships, submarines and cannon have been relegated to the museums of horrors where are now kept the far less terrible implements of torture, of the Inquisition; after the business of distributing the world's goods is attempted so that there will not be waste by some people and stagnation of others; then perhaps there will be opportunity for the men we now call artists to try to work in human lives the things they now set down in books, paintings and music. Men with these impulses of the artist, the painter, the sculptor, and poets, are combined to no trace. They override race prejudices, they override national boundaries. It is they and the scientist-explorers for when the world is interesting. To them it belongs to sense they want not to possess but to create with it. They are the components of the old-style Business man, who wants to accumulate and to possess. I embrace that struggle of the man against the old-style Business man is going on in many people. Exhibition of that struggle may MADAM C. J. WALKER HAD UNDYING FAITH IN HER RACE Robert Lee Brokenburr, In His Contribution, "Woman's Voice," Tells Of The Spirit/Which Dominated The Life Of The Greatest Business Woman Of Her Day Who Knew No "Impossibles." Madam Walker possessed great faith. came jealous of her, when she began Her life was an heroic revelation of its inspiring influence. Faith was one of the major chords of her being. It councled and encouraged her and become absorbed in encouraging business achievements and professional tri- She had faith in herself. Like Joan of Cardiff, early in her girlhood, she had visions of great personal triumphs and of being a benefactor, and to her these visions were impolling potentailities. Many of my people have had such visions, but the difference between them and Madame Walker was that they banished them from their lives, saying saying that they could not be realized, while she held to and treasured them throughout her entire life, saying, "I can do these things." She was born to poverty, became a destitute orphan at the age of seven, married in order to get a home when she was fourteen, and was a poor, uneducated widow, with a child to support, at twenty. This gloomy beginning, this tragically premature entry into life's battle, where only the strong and capable survive, did not negative her belief that although developed, she was really somebody, and notwithstanding the fact that she was a lone girl-mother, belonging to a despised race, for her there was a future, bright and glorious. With this belief indelibly stamped on her consciousness, yes, with it urging her and insisting that she could find a way out of her obscurity and poverty, and that she had within her the elements of culture and refinement, she went forth into life persistently and expectantly seeking, always embracing every opportunity to improve herself along all lines so as to be qualified to fill the station in life, in the meantime putting to the best use her talents, until she discovered how to make her world renowned Hair Grower and thus prepared to do so after she realized that she was going to manufacture and sell these products on such a large scale that she would become the greatest Negro business woman of her day. Her friends were astounded and said, "Impossible You are without influential friends You are without money. You are with out business experience or training And her enemies sneered at and rided her. How many people lacking faith in themselves have been crushed by just such attitudes as these. But Madam Walker sought nobody's advice on this proposition. She simply said, "I am going to do it." and as a result this ever abiding faith in her self she established the Madam C. J Walker Manufacturing Company with out any capital, which company did over a half million dollars worth of business in 1920; gave to her products world wide fame and stamped her impress on the American public as had no other woman of her day, regardless of race. She had faith in her race. Never was there any greater faith in the Negro race than was hers. She was unjustly and ruthlessly treated by many of the leaders thereof, who be sometime find clearer expression than it did in the Armament Conference. WM. PICKENS ON THE DISARMAMENT The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 4—In a special statement for the Associated Negro Press, William Pickens, a contributing editor, expresses some pointed views with reference to disarmament as follows: "Whom will they wind up by disarming Washington? Perhaps Haït, Liberia, China, Germany, and such like 'Independent' nations." There also seems to be a great desire on the part of the white nations to disarm Japan. We are not defending the Japanese, we are simply stafing a very plain truth. The Japanese seem to be capable of looking out for themselves. They hardly need even our favorable comment, but what in the face of alarms about the things the nation is willing to speak the TRUTH. England is second in desire only to the United States for seeking Japan disarmed. Even our good friend H. G. Wells shares in this great white consciousness. We think it instructive, for Japan is the first real threat against the white domination of the world since the keys of the Alhambra were last handed over. "If you notice closely you will see a great desire on the part of certain other nations to convince poor China that the whites are her best friends and that she understands between China and Japan, followed by friendship and cooperation, would be the beginning of the sure end of European exploitation of Asia, and also the end of a one-color domination of this little earth. THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7-12 WALKER HAD WITH IN HER RACE His Contribution, "Woman's Spirit/Which Dominated Greatest Business Wo- day Who Knew possibles." came jealous of her, when she began to rise, but this did not shake her. She firmly believed that the Negro leaders would some day awaken and become absorbed in encouraging business achievements and professional triumphs of their people, and as a result thereof there would be an end of petty strife and jealousy. That is one of the reasons why she went about the country at her own expense telling the story of her life to thousands of her people. That is why she, from the earliest days of her business career to her death, gave bountifully of her money to individuals seeking an education, to Negro schools, business enterprises. Christian associations, and a covert organization for Negro advancement. Where a person puts his money there his faith surely is. Madam Walker willed two-thirds of the net income of the great Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, Ind., to the Negro race! Who hath shown greater faith? Her dying words were "Lord for my race!" She wanted to live longer for no other reason than to help her race, in which she is firmly believed. She had faith in her country. There are white people in America lacking this quality and as a result thereof are, at this very moment seeking to undermine the foundation of our government. "Alas! there are even Negroes who are wavering because of their country's injustice to them, so long have they waited for a fair chance to make the most of themselves. But Madam Walker never wavered. She believed that the better element of white people were in the majority and would some day arise in their might and effectively assert themselves for the cause of justice to the Negro. That is one of the reasons why she so freely purchased a house during the war. That is why she on all occasions, cunseeded her people to be sane and conservative, especially during the war. Fired by this living faith in her country, she against the advice of her physician, traveled from camp to camp and from city to city during the World War at her own expense, urging her people to do their utmost in helping to defeat Germs. She had faith in herself, in her race and in her country because of her supreme faith in God. "The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want," was ever present in her consciousness. She was strictly orthodox, and the Bible was the foundation of her faith. She kept this sacred book with her constantly. One of the first things she taught was Tracted application testing her palatial residence at Irvington-on-the Hudson was the Holy Bibles on her reader table. People who know her only slightly testify that she was a constant Bible reader and relied upon God's promise as are therein set out. Her faith was a living dynamic force. Her life was a triumph of faith. we have made the mistake in the past of classing the noble Chinese as an "inferior" race. He talks as if we have now discovered our mistake and decided to correct it. How? Will England get to China, will France, will any of time? No. They are leaving it to each nation to "decide for itself" even about closing their foreign post offices on Chinese soil. If each nation is not to "decide for itself" about Chinese sovereignty, after this conference China will be exactly where China was before this conference, perhaps a bit worse off because of these practical agreements against her. For, before the conference, each nation had the privilege of acting out its own ideas in China, but without the indirect sanction of a formal conference of the others. "But we are amused at the tactics to isolate the wily Japanese." "Three-Five-Three." That looks pretty for everybody but Japan. One editor explained the justice in that problem in proposition thusly: "If the Japanese have six ships to America's ten, they will have more ships than the proportion of her territory to America's territory," etc. This editor does not know that the Pacific Ocean, when war starts, will be just as big for the Japanese as it will be just for the United States; and it will be just as far from Tokyo to San Francisco, as from San Francisco to Tokio, etc., etc. The same editor went on to argue that America should have a bigger navy also because she has the "greater resources," that is, more mines, food and other wealth. But for all our brains that seems to be a good reason why America could more safely have a small navy and feel strong. The Associated Negro Press GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Jan 4—Isaac K.

LOUIS ARGUS The Surest Advertising Medium Its Circulation Covers The City LIKE A BLANKET Phone Number 1452 2024 MADISON ST SHAME ON NEW YORK Wm. Pickens New York City has one of the biggest Negro population of any town of the world, over one hundred and fifty eight thousand. Ocala, Florida, has one of the smallest Negro populations of any town in the world, about twenty five hundred, OCALA has a Negro bank, but new york (and we write it with small letters on purpose) has no Negro bank. In Ocala, Fl., is a Negro farmer who is one of the greatest farmers in the world. He has 800 acres of well-kept land and 21 miles of fence. Just consider one single product of his farm; in a single season he may ship one hundred cards of melons, and for a single car of ice cream he receives hundreds of dollars, AND HE ACCEPTS THESE ACCOUNTS AND DEPOSITS HIS MONTH. IN THAT NEGRO BANK But in New york most of the men making Negroes are afraid of the very idea of a Negro Bank. In Ocala, the Colored people have a knitting mill, and the black women and girls are seated at complicated knitting machines, making underwear which they sell to merchants in New York City and those white merchants in turn sell this underwear to the Colored people of little old new york. In Ocala (where there are only 2500 Colored folks, mind you) there are several general merchants, drug stores and many other businesses run by Colored folk, and the Colored people patronize them. —Consequently one of the best department stores in Ocala is owned by a black man—and THAT BLACK MAN DOES BUSINESS THROUGH THAT NEGRO BANK. Are you "getting it?" In New York, Colored folk of Harlem could own and market a best department stores in the United States. If only they could trust each other, and if they would concentrate their financial power in banks, and insurance to back up business. The greatest power of the poor is buying the consuming power, if they organized it and concentrated it. - In Ocala where there is not the slightest chance for a Colored man to be elected, a Negro ran for the legislature, just for self-respect, although they threatened to kill him if he would not "come off that ticket,"—and the Colored people who could vote concern that they voted on him, just for self-respect too. But in Ocala where obstacles are less and where the Colored people, if united could elect almost any representation to almost anything. Colored people cannot be either economically or politically strong unless they concentrate their economic and voting power. A bank, for example, represents the financial strength of the Community, and not of the banker. And as long as this strength is given by one group the Colored into the hands of another group (the whites for example) the one group is simply sunderstanding so much of its strength into the keeping of that other group. With this power that other group may build hotels where the Negro cannot even wash the dishes, and the theatres where he cannot even sit on the "third heaven," and capitalize business where the Negro will only have the further privilege of spending More Money. There are thousands of businesses in the United States supported "by Colored trade" in which the Negro can only sweep the floor and take orders. If Colored folks want employment, let them concentrate their financial and buying powers. THE LITERARY SENSATION The Literary Sensation of the Times is the recent awarding of the famous Goncourt prize to Rene Marian. The Associated Negro Press, there fore, reproducing the following Paris dispatch which came to the New York World-PARIS, Dec. 17—Few literary events have occured such a stir as the winning of the Edmond de Goncourt prize by Rene Marian, the Negro writer with his novel "ratonifala." Maran himself will probably be the last person in the world to learn of his success for he is now in the wilds of equatorial Africa, three days march from Lake Chad. In a recent letter, Marad told a friend in Paris his only neighbors are nine white men who are scattered among the native villages within the past area under their administration. Hyenas and painters prowl each night in the streets of Archambault, where he was sent in disgrace for his too outspoken criticism of the white man's methods in the colonies. Aowedly the apostle of his own race Maran's book is not the passivate presentation of the cause of the deities of the Dark continent, which might be supposed. Although he pleads in a vênement preface for kinder treatment of his Colored brothers by the French colonial functionaries, Maran does not flatter these dusky inhabitants of the African brush. On the contrary, he portrays in the crudest colors their hideous vices: the sordid existence of masses who think only of sleeping, hunting, eating and women. Sincerity Marks Book "Batutoun" is the story of the love drama of a jungle chief, with all the primitive elements, decell, sealony, intrigue, hate, community, to all humanity in every ellise, kniled to unbelief, security beneath the glate of the Aristotle, the book vivid descriptions abound of villainous feats, hunts and native ceremonies in Uhangh. Probably it is his very sincerity that makes Maran's book one which marks an ephec. In his story of about 20,000 words, Maran tells of the chieffemale Batonina's eighth wife, who, for long refused to go the way of her seven sisters and accept the embraces of the sixteen year old cannson. Blissbingguil. Ultimately the eighth wife weakens but Batonina and her ten sisters congenue in Blissbingguil. This is to show the affair. "The white sees red whereas hate is a long patience you must put everything at the disposal of your enemy. Give him the best of times." mind against the whites, their tinnelicity wint of logic, and hypocrisy. Pleads for Brotherhood There were no whites, no blacks; all are brothers, he says. One should not steal nor beat a neighbor. War and savagery were one. And blacks were compelled to go away to fight the battles of the whites under pain, of being hanged. When in the full bloom of health, Batomula always railed at the whites, laughing at their suffering from the heat, mosquitoes, scorpions and flies, their colored spectacles and the baskets on their heads, and he professed disgust at the cadaver oder emanating from their bodies. "The whites!" Only their malignity and knowledge made them terrible. What matter if they be Germans or French? Both play with us like a cat with a mouse, finally devouring us. As we must be killed why wish for others than the French to kill us? "I remember when our people lived peacefully, smoking, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving. Then came the whites. "The only useful thing they ever brought were absinthe and the bad. They followed us and would impose their custoons on us. No more gambling, no more drinking, no more dancing, unless we paid. Pay always. "Of the money we earned we are only allowed to take a particle. We became taut flesh. What had we to expect of a race which had no heart? The whites even abandoned the child ren they had from black women. "White Women Worse Than Black "As for white women, we had believed them to be precious matter. As easy to win as black women and more venal, they possessed vices our women had no liking of. And we were asked. "We are only boasts of burden. Not even that: the whites feed their dogs and horses. We are less than animals, less than the slowest. Slowly they kill us. "They treat us as liars. Our lies deceive, no one, sometimes we embellish the treat, is because the latter is unsatisfactory. They lie as methodically as they breathe; hence their superiority. Maran's only law is instinct without inhibitions; western moral is unnatural, and whites display viciousness shocking to the native. In his preface the author instances a village where the population has sunk from 10,000 to 1,000 in the last seven years. This he says, is everywhere the case and disease came, bringing drink and disease and toil, each loving native to toll increasingly. Civilization Built on Corpses "But what does it matter? Only those who fail to adapt themselves to civilization disappear. Civilization, you are building your kingdom on corpses. You are no flame but a furnace. Everything you touch you consume." Maran is now writing a volume entitled, "A Black Looks on the Whites." His own countrymen although proud of his success are unanimous in their disapproval of "Batouala," which accuses the to the Colored deputy, Djagne, will bring the Colored men to form an unfavorable opinion of the Colored people whose vices Maran reveals." Many people in Paris are curious to learn the effect of this Colored man's literary rhyme on American opinion. The Creole System Learn Creole Way-4229 St. Ferdinand. Phone Lindell 1138 W.

ONE MORE REASON FOR THE DIER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The Associated Negro Press, KEY WENT. Fiu January—Manuel Head, white; owner of a coffee shop who, after he had been beaten by a band of masked men, shot and killed William H. Decker, prominent Key West resident, was taken from the country jail by a mob early today and lynched. He was shot twice before being removed from the jail, then taken out near Old Port Martello, string 40, a telephone phone pole and his body saddled with bullets. Barriradied in the curpa of a house Head stood off an armed mob until rescued by authorities and taken to the jail. Marines stood guard outside the jail until the mob had disbanded. At 2 a.m., when marines were relieved by deputies, the mob gathered on the house. Sheriff Curry. When the latter opened the door for a conference in downtown armed men forced their way in. THINGS ARE CHEAP IN HAITI Although a Solid Mahogany Dinner Table Costs Only $5 Island Has Disadvantages. In "Haiti" J. Dryden Kiser tells that on his visit to that supposedly unin- viting island he purchased a solid ma- hogany dinner table for $0, "which is the customary price," says the Detroit News. Alligator pears sell in Port-au-Prince at the rate of five for 2 cents. The picture has its reverse side. The teacher even of higher or "college" grade receives only $6 a month and the average length of his life after, taking up the teaching profession is 12 years. He teaches eight hours every day. The course of study is by no means narrow. It includes the subjects usually taught in the United States, with a few additional courses thrown in for the special benefit of the backward. The majority of Haitians excel in penmanship and free-hand drawing. One of Mr. Kuser's chapters is on voodoo origin and was introduced into the island when the slaves were brought over by the Spanish and French. Vandoux, the deity, is represented by a venomless serpent. The rites include all manner of sacrifices and self-inflicted punishment. To the rhythm of voodoo tom-toms, the worshipers dance, themselves into excited passions until all but the strongest fall prostrate. During the dance the men eat pieces of glass and, dancing on red coats, place burning pieces of charcoal in their mouths. Later in the ceremony liquor is passed around. The priests wield an Indescribable, because secret, influence over the participants, so that it is merely necessary for them to beat the tom-toms a few times and a whole brigade will rush out from nowhere armed to the teeth. GREAT MOUNTAIN COLLAPSES Aussee Sanding in Mountainous Regions Near Vienna Disintegrating Quite Rapidly. The geological freak of a great mountain disintegrating so fast that it is discernible day by day—a thing that ordinarily takes thousands of years—is occurring in the mountainous regions near Vienna. The Aussee Sanding, rising over 5,000 feet, is simply collapsing. Its great cones and pinacles of rock are crashing and tumbling as if unmerined by gnomes; the forests that clothed the slopes the flat or move slowly and steadily downward, piling into the valleys, and the turf carpet moves with them. Over three and three-quarter miles of territory are involved in the movement and hundreds of sightseers view the convulsions from opposite slopes. The phenomenon has been in progress for nearly a year with gradually increasing acceleration. One scientific explanation is the presence of an abnormal quantity of water in the chalky limestone core of the mountain, causing the collapse of great caverns and the slipping of strata. New Uses for Airplanes. Bathing from airplanes is going to be the correct thing for those that can afford it. People at Cavallare, a select little seaside place on the Mediterranean, gather on the beach every morning to see the coming of a young couple in their airplane. The man is his own pilot. Both are dressed in bathing costume with peligroin. The machine alights gently on the very edge of the surf and then the occupants jump straight in for their swim. Sometimes they fly right out to sea and dive in, leaving their airplane in charge of a professional pilot. Another development of air traffic may be "airlifts," says an exchange. Special machines are to be built for taking up people to the mountain tops. This is the result of a Swiss aviator's exploit in landing on the summit of Mont Blanc. Tourists will step into the plane at the door of their hotel and reach the mountain peak in 20 minutes. Mayor Bylan at a dinner was defending New York. "New York," he said, "is a big target, so she's easy to hit, and everybody takes a shy at her. "A Chicago man came home one evening and said to his wife: "That new butler of ours—he's no butler. He's a crook. He's wanted in New York." "My goodness," said the man's wife, "haven't they got enough crooks in New York? What on earth do they want any more for!" Making a Motion Picture. Usually, 150,000 to 200,000 feet are run through the cameras to get a six-reel, or 6,000-foot motion picture. The director stations three, four or five cameras to take the same scene. He has one camera close beside the struggling villain and hero, another grinding from an elevation, still another at this angle, out more at that angle. When all of these negatives are developed, parts of each enter into the composition of the completed reel—Indianapolis News. memory Purity,ity. "Do you remember the time when your father drove a donkey cart?" The parliamentary candidate fixed his eyeglass and gazed thoughtfully at the interrupter. Then he replied: "As a matter of fact, I had quite forgotten the car. But I am thankful to see the donkey is still alive."—London Tit-Bits. . . MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR GROWER Dept. A. S.

Jan 4—The 10th annual convention of the Omega Phi Fraternity met here December 27-31. The convention was the greatest in the history of the organization. College men gathered from the leading institutions of America to plan for the greater development of the Fraternity. The invasion of the South began Sunday, December 25, when the delegates from the North and East arrived. In true southern style, the chapters of the fraternity, locates in the city of Atlanta, made extensive plans for the entertainment of the visiting delegates of the fraternity. Under the leadership of H. H. Thomas of Atlanta the fraternity has made wonderful strides during the last by year. Eleven chapters have been added to the Fraternity roster. Atlanta often called the Athens of the South, received with open arms the fraternity. The southeastern institutions of learning have been slow to recognize the value of the Greek letter organizations to the schools. From this convention it is hoped will come a better understanding of the principles and the real purpose of such organizations. The opening session of the convention were held on the night, of December at which, time Dr. William Pickens Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. made the address of the saving. This noted orator spoke on "The Value of Group Self-respect." Dr. Pickens is recognized as one of the leading officers of the race. The convention was welcomed to the state of Georgia by Dr. Wai F. Penn. A welcome on behalf of the Southern Colleges was given by Dr. J. W. E. Bowen. YOUR FUTURE HOLDS MONEY PROPERTY SUCCESS A HEALTHY SCALP--- LONG, WAVY HAIR--- AND A LOVELY COMPLEXION.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. *From* English of Bible in the Moody *Bible Institute of Chicago*. Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JANUARY 8 ELJAH THE TISHBITE. LESSON TEXT-1 King 11-24. GOLDEN TEXT-But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall he added unto REFERENCE MATERIAL- Ex: 18; 1 Kings 16:23, Matt. 8:19-34 PRIMARY TOPIC-God Cares for Elijah. JUNIOR TOPIC - Elliah, the Brave Prohet. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jehovah's Champion Preserved. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Obeying the Word of Jehovah. 1. Elijah's Message to Ahab (v. 1). This was a startling message, for Ahab had not only led Israel into idolatry, but into a repudiation of the living God. 1. "As the Lord God of Israel liveth." Elijah knew the source of his message. He knew that he represented the living God, therefore, had no fear to come into the presence of the king in His name. 2. "Before whom I stand." Because Elijah stood before God, he could stand before Ahab. His "standing" before God indicates his constant readiness to go on His errands. 3. "There shall not be dew nor rain these years but according to my word." This suspension of moisture continued for three and a half years (Jas. 5:17), and was given in answer to Elijah's prayers (Jas. 5:17). Drought was predicted as the punishment for idolatry (Deut. 11:16, 17), and the prophet was now applying the divine judgment. Ai. Elijah's Retirement (vv. 2-16). As soon as he had delivered his message he retired from the king's sight, while the penalty of the king's sin should be visited upon the land. When the famine was soe in the land, the king sought east and west, north and south for Elijah, but God had concealed him. Those who speak God's message frequently seek solitude when the message is delivered. 1. By the brook Cherlith (vv. 2-7). (1) Drinking of the brook (vv. 4-9). White drinking of the literal waters of the brook, he was being nourished by the Living Waters from the lirrhoe of God. From day to day Ellijah's faith was tested as he saw the stream run lower and lower as the drouth continued. (2) Fed by the ravens (vv. 4-6). The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening. Ellijah thus enjoyed two meals each day, with water to drink. The same God who sustained Ellijah, still lives, and we should trust Him for our daily bread. At last the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land. The Lord then instructed him to move. 2. At Zarephath (vv. 8-16). (1) The place (v. 0). Zarephath was at the west side of Palestine, near the Mediterranean sea, in Gentile territory. In order to reach this place Elijah had to cross the country from the Jordan to the sea. Zarephath was only a few miles from the home of Jezebel's father. This, no doubt, was a trial to Elijah. (2) Sustained by a widow (vv. 10-12). "Bring a little water and a morsel of bread," was the request which he made of the widow. This, no doubt, was a great trial to her, but God had touched her heart and stirred up faith in her. Her reply reveals her deep distress. (3) Elijah's reply (v. 13). This made plain to her that it was a case of mutual interest to do as the Prophet said. "The barrel of meal shall not waste; neither shall the crusse of off fall." (4) The wolf's obedience (v. 15). "She did according to the sayings of Elijah, and she and her house did eat many days." (5) God keeps His word (v. 16). May we learn from this lesson: 1. The particularity of God's providence. Truly a sparrow shall not fall to the ground without our Father. By the prearrangements of God all our needs are daily met. There is no happen so in God's providence. The woman of Zarephath, going out to gather sticks to prepare the last meal, met Elijah, and is helped for two years. 2. No matter how small our resources, we can do something for God if we will. The lad with the five barley leaves and the two small flashes, with the blessing of the Lord, did a great work. 3. Our concern should be to work for others and for God before ourselves. We should give our all to God and trust Him for further supply. 4. God often allows us to get down to our very last in order to teach us that all is from Him. 5. God's dealing with this Gentile woman is a foregream of His dealing with the Gentile nations. 106 General Worker. Do all things without murmurings and disputations; that ye may be blame-less and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shall shine as lights in the world—Philippians 2:14 to 18.

CHICAGO,ILL Delegates From Six Nations Represent One of Oldest Confederacies in the World. The delegates from the Six Nations who are to make a personal appeal to King George in respect of their ancient rights represent one of the oldest and most famous confederacies in the world, certainly the most famous in the history of "savage" nations. The Five Nations confederacy, the eastern branch of the Iroqois, goes back before the discovery by Columbus. It was strengthened in 1712 by the admission of the Tuscarorans from North Carolina; and consisted then of the Mohawks, Ouledas, Cayugas, Onondagas and Senecas, with the Tuscaroras. The Treaty of Utrecht had declared the Five Nations to be the British subjects, and in the long struggle between France and England in America the British government based its claim to large tracts of country sometimes on the ground of the so-called subjection of the Five Nations, sometimes on the ground of treaties made with them. By the middle of the Eighteenth century an orator of the Five Nations declared in conference: "We don't know what you Christians, English and French. Intend. We are so hemmed in by you both that we have hardly a hunting place left. In a little while if we find a bear in a tree, there will immediately appear an owner of the land to claim the property. We are so perplexed between you that we hardly know what to say or think." WOO BY HAIR TONIC NO MORE Hark to the point of the barbers, enjoins the Milwaukee Journal. Days when youths were wont to groll in, seat themselves and murmur nonchantly, "Give me everything" are now history. Modern Lochinvars have discovered that they can step about with the lady of their choice without surrounding themselves with the aroma of hair tonic. Barbers complain that since the business depression began and wages have come down, the Beau Frumel of wantime prosperity who used to spend $2.50 every few days in improving his personal appearance is a thing of the past. "In the days that are done the boys would order all the frills known to the torsoral artist," said one barber. "Now they shave themselves and about once in six weeks get a plain haircut." Another barber admitted that he is forced to use a high type of salesmanship to convince the customer that he needs a massage. The porter, counting his nickles when the day's business is over, lament when he recalls the times when "two-bits" was the usual tip. The manicurist admits men aren't susceptible to being vamped. To Give Timber "a Shot" The best method of applying preservatives to timber is by the pressure process which is used by practically all large commercial companies, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. By this means the oil or mineral salt is forced deeply into the tissues of the wood, thus giving a thoroughness and permanence not otherwise attainable. There are rigorous processes, but all use large and expensive apparatus by which vacuums and heavy pressure may be applied in large treating cylinders, which are usually six feet or more in diameter and a hundred feet or more in length. Much Timber Decay. It is estimated that eight billion feet of untreated structural timbers decay every year, says the American Forestry Association of Washington. If that whole amount were to be treated we would actually save about four billion feet of timber every year. That is to say, it would render unnecessary the annual deforestation of some four hundred thousand acres of land. There could be no truer, or more effective forest, conservation, and every home builder who, by the use of preservatives, lengthens the life of his house or barn, performs an effective service to the cause of forestry. Leprosy in Indians Rare. D' A. A. Datta writes in Brazil-Medico (Rio de Janeiro) that in his 26 years of practice in Amazonas province he has seen but two of the Indians with leprosy. In prehistoric pottery figures from Peru there is no representation of, any deformity suggesting leprosy, although representations of other deformities are common and none of the early explorers mention leprosy among the natives. Chaulmoogra Tree in California. Steps have been taken to grow the chaulmoogra tree in the United States plant introduction graden, near Chico. The tree's oil has proved of great benefit in treating leprosy in Hawaii. It is a native of India. Seeds have also been sent to Florida and Maryland—Oroville Correspondence, Los Angeles Times. Woman Rules Empire. The actual ruler of the Assyrian empire, which comprises the new nation of Mosol, is Lady Surma.

Says Radical Reforms Looking Toward Retrenchment Are Necessary. Special to the Argus. CHICAGO, Jan 4 Views that are of interest to the future baseball have been presented in a prepared statement by Andrew "Rube" Foster, President of the National Association Colored Professional Baseball League and issued to the press some weeks. Mr. Foster had been submitted a series of questions by a number of baseball writers and asked the Privileges of taking them up in order and answering in some detail rather than of hand*21 His views are of value, for Foster is admittedly a student of the conditions now present in baseball. He has been criticized for name of his moves, but in almost every instance his innovations have proved of value. He is among the few men in baseball who have made it a life study and have not entered the game as a side case to solve other business. He is such a man, worth more than any other, that he has made arage magazine of writer who has kept an touch with management and organizers for a lifetime. The present writer believes that the situation in Colored league baseball is more precarious than Foster thinks, but Foster has had his say and it should without docking his associates. He seems to support a move to allow the principle he has stood for. In doubtly Mr. Foster has the qualities of a player, if permitted to exercise them, that will make for better conditions in the Negro National League. He presses that he has always criticized the players in the joint, that we pro- Retrenchment Signed SAM McVEY, NEGRO PRIZE FIGHTER DIES The Associated Negro Trust NEW YORK N. J. A. 4, 1941. Sam McVey, Negro, the lieutenant, died here and hospital, a victim of pneumonia. McVey one of the most formidable of Negro heavyweights during his rising career, was born in California in 1851. Stagging close to six feet in height and weighing ten pounds, more than the average boxing skill and ability to take heavy punishment without faltering. His first appearance as a serious heavyweight contender was in 1879 when he won the heavyweight title against Jack Johnson, losing both legs on decisions. His ring record is remarkable for the number of bouts with Sam Langford. During the decade beginning in 1911, McVey and Langford fought ten times. They won each of their bouts to twenty round contenders. These were staged in all parts of the world from Australia to South America. Langford was the victor in a majority of the battles. Twenty-one of his bouts were marked by startling putty for strength and white heavyweights. For some his 36 years he retained his boxing skill and hitting powers. CHICAGO, IL. Jan 4—William A. Miller writes the police suspects of being a union shigger, was shot and perjure, fatally wounded inhalight by Theo Browning, a Negro living at 1710 Palm street. Browning who is employed by the stockpilers, told the police that Miller and three companions followed him to a truck car. As he left the car at 22nd street and Ashland Avenue, he said the open run toward him and he shot Miller. The police lug for Miller companions who escaped. POLICEMAN IN KU KLUX KLAN TARRING PARTY POLICEMAN IN KU KLUX KLAN TARRING PARTY ENID. Okia, Jan. 4 Thursday evening, just before 9 o'clock, Walter O'Bannon, son of Lennard O'Bannon, returned to his home at 33B East Pine street, after a short absence, and found that the front door had been broken open. He was hospitalized by six men who had gained forible entrance during his absence. Two of the men were Eaid policeman, regularly assigned to duty, one a city police officer and three were civil affairs. O'Bannon had known men personally for years and was no longer in their indoors in his own. He gave their names, together with the names of the men who later tarred him, to a committee of Eaid citizens. According to O'Bannon's statement, as he entered the room as the officer and hid him on him and told him to go along. Thoroughly terrified O'Bannon went along his statement then goes on to say: The policeman took me up to the corner of the ball park to an auto ride. There some cars my heart beats told me and I was told to get into the automobile. I got in and then the men and the police got in, the police still holding their guns against my neck and body. I knew right away that I needed to treat them. The auto officer off in the country by North Field. When I got there the men told me to strip off my clothes. I stamped off and they they kept beating me with a rage. The beating me with a scowling wail and brushes. They pointed warm wails all over me and the police and feathers on me. They knocked me if I knew their name. I said I did and they they kept me over and told me a dog as a hang then gave me warnings to other colored people from leaving town and brought me back to town made that I was turning my nose on the streets to get home. They kept me from going to town in twenty four hours of their kill me. Time and again they told me they will kill me. If I told they I were out of town and stay out I walked through the street with the car and feathers on just like they Obligation gave the names of the banners, the city officials and the other members of the mob who turned him. His statement is in an avidist form and is in the hands of a committee of Eid civil citizens to be used in the prosecution of his murderers in case he is assassinated for telling their names. According to the local papers all participants deny participating in the murder party. This is to be expected, as their confessions would mean sententious terms for themselves without blood of further witnesses. Olhaman is about 30 years of age, and lived with his father on East Pine street. He came here as a baby with his parents at the opening of this country and has been working twenty-eight years up there, resided on Two street, although his name was included with the twenty-one who were warned to leave the city by the Ku Klux Klan. Prior to the Klan warning he had home-embassed regularly in one of city's well-known clubs. Olhaman has a home machine shop and naturally has his where else to go. He has been in difficulties in the past and served a full sentence, but for, as seen months past he has been working stably and has his own industrial business. That he is of particularly account even as a Negro he is a human being weak and degenerated perhaps and yet a bit misleading. His workings would seem to call for regeneration rather than turning and beating and in his last years he should have been encouraged in strident of braven and brazenized. This action went to war on a great historic occasion, upon issues growing out of the abuse of the black race in Southern states. The American people have been just as fiercely today in every boast American breast. And there are thousands of men in Epidie who are willing to take up anguels in defenses of those liberties which have been lost in the sacrifice of the sacrifice of and treasure of THE ST. LOUIS AFGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 6, 1922 presence of four witnesses asked for the police protection in his constitutional rights. Sink says Ryan refused to give him police protection, saying that he couldn't do so, or words to that effect. Then Sink and Ryan tered into a short argument and Ryan told Sink to go and meet Mr. who could be taking up for him, the one insisting that the man designated by Ryan was a sort of "Grand Goloth" of the Ryan who would have authority to afford Sink protection. Sink went to the man named by Ryan, who read the letter Sink received; after some talk, told him to go on about his business and not worry that he wouldn't both of them future. This still seems facts would seem most friendly terms with the "Grand Goloth." Eindl Men Becoming Aroised All the facts concerning acts of mob violence in Eindl are in affiliation and are used in a powerful way to identify Eindl citizens. This committee consist of some of Eindl's best business men, attorneys and capitalists; it will therefore, do none of the members if the mob any good to attempt to assassinate any of the informants. On the contrary it is the capitalist situation, as their name is recorded and they would be charged with the crime. So far as the evacuation of "Two street" was concerned, the Events and all good citizens approve of the said evacuation, but not of the method. "Two street" could never happen the flawed machinery was set in motion and it could have been evacuated in twenty-four hours. However the evacuation was brought about unlawfully and it will be an easy matter to legalize see that the three or four Negroes were the three or four left there. The Events withholds the names of the mob leaders from publication through a desire to allow the good indignation of the men to feel the mob feeling in our fair city to completely subside with our additional friction. We realize, however, that further outbreaks here are certain to be followed by drastic arrests, court and constituted legal power to put them in motion. Eald Events. REPORT ON HAITI IS DISGRACE TO THE U. S. REPORT ON HAITI IS DISGRACE TO THE U. S. Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y. J. N. I. A state open issued by the executive committee of the Haiti San Timothy Independence Society of which Moorfield Stovey is chairman, characteristic as a de- gree to the protection of the senatorial com- munity appointed to investigate conditions in Haiti and San Timothy. "Issued immediately following con- ference with Secretary Hughes, it p- tifies and makes a part of American- public policy the overthrow by force of the government, and the statement, "It endorses the policy followed in Haiti of using violence to introduce upon a free people a treaty, which it would never have accepted of its own free will. The commission has done treasury of the United States, and good name of the United States, especially in Latin America, where our protestations of benevolence are, as nothing in the face of the acts and facts which are now a part of public record. The United States should withhold from Haiti and restore Haitian independence at once. THE REPORT WASHINGTON D. C. Jan—The Senatorial Committee of which will dill McCarran of Chicago is chairman has returned from Haiti and Santon Doun- sain and the Navy Transport Argonne and cannyity if it is believed that their report when made will enhance the following continuity: The Island of Haiti and Santo Domingo is today in a completely peaceful, condition, except in a certain part of eastern Santo Domingo, where there is some landlift. This landlift is for the purpose of plunder among the large sugar estates and the mining industry, an invading against and inquiring into it is believed that their American intervention. Four thousand marines are living without any uprising against them in the midst of a population of 3,500,000, which if it were seriously discontinued, could easily make trouble. It as not today makes any any more serious military burden, who are being repressed by a combination of Dominican and American forces. No evidence was gained of any attacks by American troops during the period of the last two years. The evidence indicating unlawful bets of terminated two years ago. The officers involved were fairly involved were also in number. One of them is now in an insane asylum and two of them have committed suicide. The ovidice is that most of the acts of unlawful violence were committed by Haitian or Dominican members of the constabulary who had not yet been disciplined into good behavior by the American officers. The chief faults of the American Government in Haiti and in Santo Domingo are the failure of the police, the police officer, or program of administration, and in Haiti it has permitted a "crime division or responsibility among American representatives."

At present the Island of Haiti and Santo Domingo is materially far behind the Americanized island of Porto Rica. It has eight times the area of Porto Rico and three times the population, but it has one-third foreign trade. Nevertheless its position in the world is greater than those of Porto Rica if quiet governmental conditions and a few good rands are secured. There is a local sentiment in favor of the withdrawal of the American forces; but even among the leaders who express it there is a personal sentiment to the effect that the proper safe time for the withdrawal has not yet come. It is believed that the report of this senatorial committee will tend toward the idea that American influence should be contended in Haiti and Santo Domingo, with a better organization of prospects is that more marries in Haiti and Santo Domingo will soon be reduced from 4,000 to 2,000. It is also stated that some of the American representatives have been wanting in tact and in consideration in dealing with the Haitians and Dominicans and it is a best that they will be an improvement in their relationship with an improvement in person- along with a improvement in military forces.

The Fight For The Lives Of Colored Farmers In Elaine Rio One of the greatest human documents ever published to the interest of Negroes is the brief in the case of the Colored Elaine, Arkansas martyrs, published in the December and January issues of the Crisis. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, working against odds of strongly entrenched southern white prejudice, unfortunately is an inued burden furnished by a few of our own, is doing its full duty in this case.

A. Adkins on the night of September 30, 1910, at Hoop Spur in said County and State; that said Adkins was killed, as they are advised, under the jurisdiction of stances and Pettitons are a number of the members of their race were peacefully and lawfully assembled in their church house at or near Hoop Spur, with no unwarrful purpose to injure or do any wrong to any one; that while they were assembled, white persons were frightened or assaulted, under the jurisdiction of a church house, into the windows and shooting the lights out there; causing a great disturbance and stumped of those assembled there; that the white persons so fireing on said church came there in, automobiles of which there were several, and came for the purpose of upstairs church and either by members of his own parts or by some other persons known to you the petitioners; that the white men sent out the word to Hulbert, the county seat, that said Adkins had been killed by the Negroes, who down in cold blood while on a peaceable mission, by an armed Negro, in the Church, which caused great excitement above the city of Helena and Phillips County; that the reports of said killings spread like wild-fire into other counties, all over the State of Arkansas. and into other States, notably the State of Mississippi; that early the next day a large number of white men of said County armed themselves and rushed to the scene of the trouble and to adjacent regions of the county of them, and began the indiscriminate hunting down, shooting and killing of Negroes; that in a short time white men from adjoining counties and from the State of Mississippi, likewise armed themselves, rushed to the scene of the trouble and began to indiscriminate killing of them, and women, particularly the prose from the State of Mississippi, who shot down in cold blood inoculent, Negro men and women, of whom, were at the time in the fields picking cotton; that high inflammable articles were published in the press of the country, especially throughout the United States, in which the trouble was variously called a "race riot," an "uprising of the Negroes," and a "deliberately planned insurrection among the Negroes against the whites" in part of Phillips County, the offspring of the county, especially the Sheriff, called upon the Governor of the State, and the Governor if turn called upon the Commando Officer at Catan Pike for a large number of the United States soldiers to assist the citizens in quelling the so-called riot, "uprising of the soldiers was dispatched to the scene of the trouble who took charge of the situation and dual-survived in stopping the slaughter. Your petitioners further say that they, together with a large number of their race, both men and women, were taken to the Phillips Hospital in Helsinki incurring heavy charges in court; that a committee of seven, composed of leading Helgen business men and officials, to wit: Sebastian Strauss, chairman; H. D. Moore, Connity Judge; F. F. Kitchens, Sheriff; J. G. Knight, Mayor; B. M. A. Jelj, J. B. Horner and T. K. Jelj, were charged with prokoking into the situation and pleading out those to be condemned to death and those to be condemned and sentenced to the penitentiary; that said Committee assumed charge of the matter and proceeded to have brought before them a large number of those incurring heavy charges, recording their connection and the connection of others charged with participation in said trouble; that if evidence unsatisfactory to said Committee was not given they would be sent out and certain of their keepers would take their room in jail in the courthouse and complete their connection and a part of the Court Home building where said committee was sitting, and torture them by beating and whipping them with leather straps with metal in them, cutting the blood at every kick until the vicious agreed to testify to anything their torturers demanded in court, provided in said fail to frighten and torture them an elec trie chair. In which they would be punished and the current turned on to shock and frighten them into giving damage to statements against them selves and others, also strangling drug were put into their hands and by these methods, means, false evidence was extricated from Negroes and was used against your petitioners. Pettitioners further say that on every day from October 1, until after their trial on November 3, 1919, the press of Holocaust and the state of Arkansas carried inflammatory articles giving accounts of the trouble, which were calculated to arouse and did apose hate feeling against the members of their race.... that shortly after being placed in jail, a mob formed in the city of Hesela, composed of hundreds of men, who marched to the county jail for the purpose and with the intention of tricking your petitioners and others, and would have done so but for the interference of United States soldiers and the promise of military officials that if the mob would stay its hand they would execute those found guilty in the form of law.
