C.DYER MAKES STRONG PLEA AGAINST LYNCHING X. NO. 39 C. DYE TER S. DICKEY RECOMMENDED OR HAYES' JOB master General Said Tove Been "Vamped" By the Movies, Will Resign.encer Backing Dickey,avored by Color'd People.associated Negro PressHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 31.—The of Senator Jorgeosue of Pennia,and the passing of Will H. from the position of PostmasterI to a high executive position in region picture world, at a salary 0.000 per year, have absorbed high points in political gossip beginning of the New Year. for Penrose will be remembered in a brief interview given last with reference to Civil Rights. Negro is affected. The Senate one of the most outstanding nations for justice over uttered public man. It is true that of the Pennsylvania leaders that the late senator "ate his prior to the failure of the bill. It is known that the Senator denied that he did anything to the defeat of the bill. Heamon affected by the criticism followed and told a representative of the Associated Negro Press he hoped the people would not him, responsible." After Penrose was practical in his friendships. There were a number of men "close" to him in Pennsylvania, probably the chief being New Stevens the banker of Philadelphia. There are those who won't affect the death will have the political fortunes of Stevens. "Hays and "Bob" Church there is no denying that close political life has "Will H. Hays" political life has "Bob" Church, Memphis, Mr. Hays has had very confidence in Mr. Church. As matter of cold fact, they formed a of comradeship that was most unusual and certainly will not be completely ended by Mr. Hays' taking another position. The representative of the Associated Negro Press is in possession of actual information concerning the high esteem in which Mr. Hays holds the very inexpressive but powerful politician leader - Tennessee - that would read like a thrilling story of action if it could be told politically. If it to say that, Will H. Hays has always accepted Robert R. Church quickly on his merit as a man, and has accepted the political opinions and advice of Church at face value. A New Richmond To Front. To succeed Wilt H. Hays, Senator Spencer has recommended Walter S. Dickey, manufacturer, newspaperOWNER and multi-millionaire of Kansas City. Mr. Dickey is an unquestioned friend of the Colored people, and knows them from "a to izard." He is a master of the political game, and very practical in his plan of operation. He believes in big things, and believes that "to the victor belongs the spoils." Should Mr. Dickey be determined upon, for the portfolio, a new Richmond would come to the front in the perio- m of William C. Heuston, of Kansas City and Gary Ind. Mr. Heuston has been a "chief heutnant" of Mr. Dickey for years. Waiting on President In the matter of appointments, every body is waiting on the President. What the President is waiting on, has yet been discovered. It can be worked with high authority when the President proposes a take care of life. Likewise, Johnson in a handsome way. The appointment will be in keeping with the high esteem in which the President and Mr. Johnson innumerable friends and followers hold him. "But what's the hold back?" That seems to be the universal query. President Harding is going to name another Colored man for Recorder of Breeds, and he will probably be William C. Matthews of Boston, Mass. Mr. Matthews is regarded as a real leader in the state of Massachusetts, and was former Assistant District Attorney in the Federal Office of that city. There are a number of candidates, including Robert Nelson of Wilmington, Delaware, Editor of the Wilmington Advocate, a citizen of ability, and a leader of distinction; the Indiana Senators are backing James Latt and attorney of Indianapolis, many others who say their "that in the ring." They can't all be Recorder, but they ought to have something, say the people home. And there is Charlott "Cottrell of Toledo, embarrassed, complained and discouraged." Cottrell has not been in Washington since last August but he made a fearful linger in that time. He is back in Toledo "the old home town." Waiting in the church," doubtless kneeling, in grave, and the gry of it, he has laid such weight—not from lack of food—must be worry. While all this, Republican marking is going on by the Democratic Party and Liberal are showing up and putting up the humane effort. It is going to a win. The St. Louis Argus HON. C. M. WHITE GIVEN BANQUET The banquet tendered C. M. White, Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen large Monday night at the Grand Central Hotel was quite a nice affair. The St Louis Negro Business Association under whose auspices the banquet wagged, is to be congratulated upon its success. Mr. White during his address said, he was well pleased with what he saw and heard and that and that he was glad to see St. Louis "wake up." He said that St. Louis was the best place for the Headquarters of the great organization of the American Woodmen, being centrally located and that the spirit of the St. Louis Negro Business Association had the right spirit. He was generally accepted by those who heard Mr. White, that he was quite impressed with St. Louis and that he was seriously considering meeting the Headquarters of his organization here. This banquet was in line with the policy of the St. Louis Negro Business Association to push St. Louis to the front in the business world. President John W. Hays, presided at the meeting and short, talks were made by W. H. King, T. A. Dickson and J. E. Mitchel. The honored guest was introduced by District Deputy, Edw. Loft. AMERICAN LEGION IS CHARGED WITH BEING UNFAIR TO THE RACE AMERICAN LEGION IS CHARGED WITH BEING UNFAIR TO THE RACE Officer Of The Fifteenth New York Regiment Says Colored Ex- Service Men Are Being Ignored The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK. N. Y. Jan. 11. - Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, veteran of the World War, and at present an officer in the Famous Fifteenth New York Regiment, charges the American Legion with unfairness to Negro former soldiers. In a special statement to the Associated Negro Press. Mr. Marshall's office is at 205 North Avenue, New York City, and he is calling on the newspapers of the country to assist him in getting in touch with all former soldiers. Captain Marshall says: "After the armistice was signed, as you will recall, there was a great World Victory Parade field in Paris of military units representing all the combatants who were engaged in that struggle. Not one American Negro was permitted to march in that parade. This fact was commented upon generally by the French people. "Last summer the American Legion sent over to France a delegation of veterans to visit the battle fields and to lay a wreath on France's unknown soldier. I myself made personal application to be permitted to represent the Colored American veterans on that occasion in view of the fact that I had arranged to be in France at that time. My application was curtly and unceremoniously rejected. Several Frenchmen, including some officials suggested that the colored veterans send a delegation over to France and acting upon that suggestion upon my return to America last fall. I wrote to the national headquarters of the American Legion, Indianapolis. Ink. requesting a list of all American Negro Legion. Posts in America with their locations. Subsequently, there appeared in the Chicago Defender an interview with me in which it was set forth the method of the American Legion his summer towards its Colored members and my purpose to organize a delegation of Colored veterans to go abroad next summer. Failing to receive any reply to my request to the headquarters of the American Legion, as a result, I again wrote, repealing my request to the headquarters a letter which stated that I am an Execlive Committee prohibited, the issuance of a list of the posts of American Legion. "Our committee is now compelled to appeal to the Colored newspapers all over the country for the names and locations of the Colored American posts and I am asking you to help us in this matter as no one can do as well as the Associated Negro Press."

MAN UNHITCHING HORSE SHOT BY NEGRO Hyman Pososky, 42, Found In Stable By Neighbors Hyman Pososky, 42 years old, a petter, 1127 North Nineteenth street, was shot in the right chest and seriously wounded by a Negro in a stable in the suit of 1445 O'Fallon street, where Pososky was unhitching a horse from his wagon at 8 o'clock last night. Neighbors attracted to the scene summoned an ambulance. Physicians at the City Hospital where Pososky was taken, said that he would recover. Police started an investigation into the shooting after Pososky gave two different descriptions of his assault. Pososky said he dismounted from the seat where he had救 a Negro standing near the door of the stable. The Negro asked him where his partner was, Pososky said. He answered that his partner was not with him and walked into the stable, leading his horse, which he had unhitched from the wagon. At this juncture the Negro fired a shot at him, he said. The Negro escaped. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, M.I., Jan. 11.—One of the conclusions reached by the Senatorial committee recently returned from investigating conditions in Haiti, was that it will be necessary for the present to keep an armed force in that Republic. In view of the excellent service rendered by the 24th Infantry in the Philippines and the service rendered by the 25th in Hawaii, why would it not be an excellent idea to send a contingent of Colored troops to Haiti? If the Government took this step it would meet with the hungry approval and cooperation of the fifteen million thick people of the United States. It would be a guarantee to the people of Haiti that the United States Government meant to do the proper thing by them. That is why the 5th Illinois Regiment composed entirely of Colored troopers be given this duty since that Regiment has recently been Federalized. Another recommendation was made by the Senatorial Committee to the effect that a Commissioner general or Governor be appointed over the island and that both Military and Naval forces be under hung. This suggestion has great merit in view of the mess that the Military and Naval forces have made of things on the island. Let us suggest that such a post be given to some Colored man of standing in the United States.

Last year $67,718 was spent by the Provident among colored people and more than this amount will be spent this year. But we are asked to contribute in view of the unusual times only $7,000. Last year over 4,000 of our people were given food, shelter and clothing. 1,142 were placed in suitable jobs and over 50,000 were served in one way or the other by the several departments. No organization is better prepared to take care of the needs this winter than the Provident. The number of new families during the past year has been increased by 1,896, a total of over 3,500 people, because of the large number of people now employed. While the mild weather has helped some, many people must be helped during the latter part of this month and the rest of the winter. The annual drive will begin this Sunday, January 15, and will continue one week. The meeting of the campaign workers will be held Saturday night at 7:30 o'clock at the Y. M. C.

That the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company does not encourage Negroes to take out policies in their institution has just been disclosed by Mr. Woodward, vice president of the company, in an interview with James H. Hubert. Executive Secretary of the New York Urban League. It is said that Mr. Woodward admitted that over 42 per cent of the policy holders are colored; staining that many colored agents would only stimulate their growth among the race while who not designg "The law forces us," said Mr. Woodward, "to give the same policies to Negroes as we give to whites, while the rating due to high mortality among Negroes is almost twice as great." Mr. Woodward did not hesitate to urge that Negroes organize their own companies instead of seeking policies with his company. This information was elicited from Mr. Woodward when Jas. H. Hubert of the New York Urban League called upon him, and urged him to employ Negro collectors" in Negro neighborhoods. Many Negroes throughout the country have taken offense at the statement by Mr. Woodward and a "strike is threatened. HOWARD U. ALUMNI GIVES SCHOLARSHIP On December 2, 1921, Dr. J.

Summers Of National Law Makers To Let The outh Lynch The Negroes As A F ST. LOUIS, "NOT IS SILENT ON THE QUESTION Mr. DYER. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, my interest in this legislation comes from lynchings that have occurred in my own State, which have been, quite numerous, in fact too numerous, of course, of course and some of them have been very disgraceful. My special interest in this legislation, comes five years ago when at the very doors of my home, in my city, occurred one of the most disrecalled lynchings and known to civilization. That occurred in the city of East St. Louis, Ill. I introduced a resolution at that time asking that the House of Representatives investigate that lynching and assert the cause and see if there was something we might do to make such disgraceful events scarce and imminent in that mob riot there were 100 and more people injured and killed—innocent men and innocent women. Some of the most outrageous murders known to humanity took place at this time. Little children were taken away from their mother's arms and thrown into the fire. This affair grew out of a killing that occurred in East St. Louis. There had been race feeling in that city, and there was an automobile containing police officers driven through sections of East St. Louis that were populated largely by colored people, and while they were, doing this they were fired upon, killed, upon, presumably although do not think it was done as a fact, by some Negroes. A man was killed; another was wounded, and this lynching, this murder of more than 100 people, innocent as you and I of any connection with that affair, took place. Some people started out to find the people who had killed this man for the purpose of lynching them. This legislation, if enacted into law, will cover cases of tint kind, not withstanding the statement made by some gentleman previous to the holiday press that this legislation is nimble, with teachings been unimpressed, with Chairman, I may say in this connection that that thought never entered my mind in what I have done to secure this legislation. I want to make it so that lynchings of the kind that happened in East St. Louis, Ill., will not go unpunished to the fullest extent possible. (Applause.) Blot Reports I have here the report made by the committee. Among the other signers to the distinguished gentleman from Wichita COOPER. This report was published here. This report and I have it here. It tells of the horrible things that happened at that time. The charge has been made here, Mr. Chairman, that these lynchings are caused by attacks upon women, that they are the result of rape. That is as far from the truth as many of the other extravagant statements that have been made. In lynchings, pains to obtain the best possible information lynchings in the last 35 yrs or more, and I have here a statement propuged by a member of the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, under date of December 31, 1921. In a word, it says that in this 30-year period, from 1983 to 1921, there had been 4,006 lynchings. Of this number 810 were charged with rape and the rest were raped. In other words of the same nature, only 810 were even charged with this horrible crime or its affair. I have taken pains to have other statements compiled. I have one here prepared by the National Association for the Protection of Colored People stating that during the period from 1888 up until December 1921, there were 3,800 lynchings in the Chattanooga district. PRICE 5 CENTS Missouri to extend his remarks in the RECORD? There was no objection. East St. Louis Riot. Not only that, Mr. Chairman, but lynchings have been going on in this country for these many years without any special effort apparently being made to persecute or to punish the guilty. It is true that some few of those who participated in that East St. Louis lynchings were convicted; some blacks were convicted and sent to jail. But that is one of the few limitations to my knowledge where there has ever been any conviction.

COMMUNITY PLATE 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 RELIANCE 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.

Is the fault with the men or have women failed to measure up to the standards of men? Every day men are kept mentally keen by continuous give and take of modern business. When evening comes do they want more excitement, or do they want rest and calm? Vitally important are the answers to these questions—to the wives, the mothers and the sweethearts of this country, equally important to all men. In a stirring photo drama, "What Do Men Want" Lois Weber gives man's problem. This great American drama of the hunt for happiness will be the feature attraction at the Comet Theatre.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 13, 1922 He followed her to the tropics to arrest her for murder only to fall in love with the exomnn himself. This is one of many strong situations in "The Woman, God Changed," a new Paramount Cosmopolitan picture which comes to the Olympics theatre this Saturday. E. K. Lincoln is the defective and Seymour Owen, the woman in the case. The support is eminently satisfactory. Tom Mix, the Fox star, is coming to the Olympia theatre on Sunday in "Trailin'" based on a story by the celebrated Max Brand. It is a story of twisted and tangled lives, filled with senses action. The star role represents a distinct departure for Mix, as he does not figure as a cowboy although associated with ranch life and doing some daredevil stunts in pursuit of vengeance in the West. "The Sheriff Of Hope Eternal" And "God's Cruelty" At The Casino Jack Hoxley in "The Sheriff of Hope Eternal" will be featured a the Casino this Saturday. In this picture, Hoxley is given an opportunity to show his real ability as a dramatic actor. While he does many of his wonderful riding stunts, the plot of the story is of such a nature that in a great part of the picture he must show his ability in a highly-dramatic role. He is execlent in this work and is supported by a very strong cast. The Sunday, Special attraction at this theatre will be the remarkable picture "God's Crucible." It tells the story of a young political refugee who with his sister and a faithful old family servant, comes to Winnipeg to escape the persecutions of his father's oppressors. How he carves out for himself a brilliant name adn a very great success and the adventures and misadventures that befall him he attupis to the goal for which he strives all contribute to making the picture a most noteworthy one in every respect. "What Do Men Want" Features The Comet Program The Comet Theatre announces "What do Mo Wand" as its feature attraction for next Thursday and Friday. It is a vivid portrayal of small town life and small town people, yet in this powerful drama, as in all her pictures, she not only supplies the full message of entertainment but also puts over a moral job that is applicable to people of all classes. Miss Lois Weber, a genius in picturing amazing faults in the social conditions of this country, has striped bare the weaknesses of man and made wonderfully clear a woman's conception of what men want. It tells a story that thrills and chills, and teaches. Exceptionally brained in its mighty appeal, it touches the "right chord" in every man and makes him think and do the things that are really worth while. Connect this Saturday. On Sunday the feature will be Jack Hoxie in "Devil Dog Dawson." One of the big dramatic moments in this picture has its climax due to the part a lighted cigarette phys in releasing the hero, "Devil Dog" Dawson, from a dangerous trap into which his enemies have plained him. The entire reminisher of the pictured story from this palm onward takes its logical and dramatic trend from the service performed by the much maligned cigarette. "The Face of the World" will be featured at the Star Theatre this Saturday. 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 barring of a three-story building. On Sunday Lon Chaney will be beamed in "Aoe of Heart." The story itself, of the misguided attempt of a group of reformers to rid the world of men who have proved upon the weak and helpless. Their method is to exterminate those who, in their eyes, have been social criminals; no matter how rich and powerful the criminals may be. The only feminine member of the group is played by Leatrice Joy, and she is quite as fanatical as the men, until she falls in love with one of them. From this point, the story is one of self-sacrifice, through which many of the members discover that their aims may be good but their methods falle God's Crucible* will be featured at the Star next Thursday. The story tells of a young political refugee who flees to Winnipeg to escape his enclaves, and there, amid the slow-capped grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, wins fame and happiness. Witton Lackaye, long one of the most prominent figures on the American stage, plays the part of "Michael Kalmar" whose political enemies force his son to flee the country. He himself is imprisoned in Siberia but escapes and lives by for one thing, to wreck vengeance upon those who have betrayed him. In sheer dramatic power andensity this role is closely allied to that of "Svengall" in "Trilby" in which Mr. Lackaye undyng fame "A Child For Sale" will be featured at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday. This is a straight from the slumberder, hard hitting, condemnation of the present day eclipses of roat protesting. The cast includes Gladys Leslie, Creighton Hale, and Julia Sayne Gordon. Besides the two talented children, Roby Connelly and Ruth Sullivan. This is the first picture which puts forth in dramatic form the story of the injustices practised today by miscreants landlords. It is the kind of a picture which will not fade from the memory when you leave the theatre, and it is the kind of a story that will do a great deal toward silencing the horrors of unjust rents. On Sunday, this theatre will present PAGE FIVE J. M. MITCHELL ..... MANAGING EDITOR HERBERT T. MEADOWS ..... CITY EDITOR and ADV. MGR.

MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives. W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. In reply to the many inquiries and criticisms with reference to our editorial last week under the caption, of "Where Are Those Jobs," we wish to state that our intentions were honest and sincere when we said that of the four hundred jobs the Governor had at his disposal, four of said jobs had been awarded to Negroes. Having been called upon by an "enthusiastic reader of The Argus" to tell through these columns what four jobs are now being held by the Negroes that properly come under the four hundred patronage jobs, we wish to candidly state that we had reference to three members of the Board of Curators of Lincoln University and one at the Industrial Home at Tipton, Mo. Of course, the three members of the Board of Curators, Lincoln, are honorary offices, and properly speaking, do not come under the head of "jobs." Eliminating those three, it only leaves the one at Tipton, so far as we know. We make this explanation for the benefit of those who have inquired of us expressing their confidence in us. We wish further to state that we have no desire to "swell the list" of Negro appointments in favor of the Governor, by a mistreatment of facts. We believed at the time that the Negro Usd not been given a share of the State patronage at the hands of the Governor, and we know now, by every rule of the game that we have not. We have been cash in our criticism of the Republican Senate for their failure to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. This criticism, was based upon our belief that Link met with the same fate that any other Negro would have met. However, since the charges against him were sufficient to create a doubt in the minds of some as to his honesty and integrity, let President Harding nominate another race man whose character is built upon a more solid foundation. We can quite sure that the majority of the Colored people of the country who know Link will admit that his selection was a poor one, yet they would rather see him appointed than to lose the place to the race. Now that Link has been turned down, it is hoped that he will quit worrying his friends about a job and get out and make good his boost that he is able to make a living by practicing his profession as a lawyer, and give some one else a chance. St. Louis offers business opportunities as no other city in the country. Being centrally located, with large railroad facilities as web as some advantage of the Mississippi River. The St. Louis Negro Business Association is making an effort to induce more Negroes to enter the business activities of the city, and are trying to encourage those who are already in the business of professional life. Their efforts seem to be pointing in the right direction and those who are interested in the welfare of the race from a commercial and business standpoint should join hands with the present efforts and push St. Louis to the front. Who can set the bounds of a race, the possibilities of achievements of any people, be they black or white, yellow or brown? The mind is the standard of the man, and man is so peculiarly made until it requires the mind of his Creator to understand him. Who knows but that the man yet in the jungles of Africa is to come forth and teach the world the mind of the Lord is reflected in the arts and sciences of nature? There is something wonderful about the progress of the so-called backward races of the world. A man or a child conjoining to this country from the darker continents soon grasps, and in most cases outstrip the American people who boast of their civilization despite the natural as well as other handicaps. We have a striking example of the progress of a race in the Negro of America, who has, despite the handicaps and obstacles made possible by racial prejudice, has outstripped his former masters along all lines where open competition has been followed. To the thinking people of the nation, the Negro's progress in America is nothing short of a miracle. In a recent editorial the St. Louis Post Dispatch speaks of miracle of man and race in a discussion of the rapid rise in the scales of civilization by the people of Japan. The same is true of all the backward races of the world today when given a chance. Japan is the aggressive. But what will happen when China awakes? The possibilities of a race—who can tell? The Post Dispatch has this to say with regard to Japan Miracle Of Man And Race To find in the story of the white race a civilization comparable to that of Japan when Marquis Okumas who was reported to have died last Friday at the age of 83, was a young man, we should have to go back probably to the dark ages that, followed the fall of Rome. It has taken our shining race dozens of generations to advance from that crude epoch to its present goal. In Japan this gulf has been bridged in the life of a single man. When Japan's War Premier was a youth his country was steeped in the sleep of the ages. It was ruled by a Shotgun through a system of chain government. It's religion was characterized by the usual attributes of the Oriental faith, antolerance, superstition, ignorance. The learning of the nation was confined to the Chinese classics. An embargo had been raised against Occidental civilization and progress. Then Perry came and implanted the germ of discontent in the spirit of young Japan. Against the tradition of his fathers, against the institutions of the day and his people's instilled hatred of change and progress, Okuma turned his eyes to the great world beyond Nippon and set his mind deliberately to the business of learning, of clearing out the cobwebs of centuries and teaching his countrymen. Thus he rose to leadership in Japan's breakneck race to wipe-out the ages of her delinquency. The world is not, through gasping at his prodigious accomplishment. World politics has been revolutionized. A new empire has arisen out of the East in the van of other empires. It is the miracle of a race. Yet no less is it the miracle of a man. The life of Okuma, the span across 10 centuries of mental evolution, is a staggering exhibit for the Anglo-Saxon bourbon whose stodgy and puffing efforts have not availed to keep him abreast of his own time.

(Special—Governor A. M. Hyle is to be congratulated upon the selection of Honorable Sam Hill) as the president of the Prison Board since Judge Hill's connection with the State Prison so many of the inmates find the punishment easy to bare as the human heart that this famous juries has caused them to look to a brighter hope for the future. Judge Hill knows each of the prisons and he has a kind word for them as all times and above all he don't know how to mbtreat a person and from which I can see of him around, the State Prison, every prisoner, white and colored has a good name for Judge Hill. Some few of the boys of the Permanent Seat of Government wanted the State Park to have a New Years reception for the colored people refused to let the Park go to the Negroes by John J. Bred of Sedilla, Robinson of McMullen Mo. and Bruce H. Campbell of Kawai City rallied on the State Prison and he once told us we had an much right as any white folk and for us to go ahead further. read to say we had a nice two years I had more Sam Hill's in the State of Missouri the Negroes of the State would know just who our friends are. Honorable Chas. U. Becker, Secretary of the State has made a special trip to see that the colored people had a fair play, and 'above all our Honorable Governor played his part for us. We had a nice time and we are going to have our pleasure from time to time at the State Park, owned by the people of the State and not no one race control it. It belongs to the property owners of the State of Missouri and with such men as Judge Hill at the head of the board we will have our share of fair play. This Week This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo. W. Buckner THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL AND THE NEGRO The new Community Council in St. Louis is our outgrowth of the Central Council of Social Agencies founded some 14 years ago. The Council will lenear to improve the social service standards in St. Louis, help worthy social agencies to better function, and establish new agencies when there is sufficient demand. The Council is made up of delegates from the various organizations, each having two representatives, a Board member and the Executive in charge, respectively. Jidging from what has taken place in other large cities we may safely predict that within the next 10 years the St. Louis will adopt the Community Chest, which means that all the funds necessary to maintain the member agencies of the Community Council will be collected at one time. It is of the utmost importance then that the social agencies working among Negroes become interested at once in vignesting themselves to see if their standards and operations will admit them to membership in the Council. This new movement further means that those institutions not members of the Council will have a very difficult problem on their hands to maintain their institutions. It is indeed a lemètable fact that our colored organizations have taken over the affairs of the Community Council. If long-to- an organization not now a member of the Community Council you will be rendering a great service to your community and your organization if you will see that it makes every effort to gain membership right now. McCORMICK SAYS AMER COLORED CAN RENDER A SERVICE TO HAITI McCORMICK SAYS AMER COLORED CAN RENDER A SERVICE TO HAITI Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Jap. 11. American Colored men and women can render a great service to Haiti, according to Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, who has just returned from the Island Republic, Senator McCormick is chairman of the Special Committee of the United States appointed to investigate conditions in Haiti and Santo Domingo incident to the American occupation. Although this committee has not made a pre-eminent report to the Secretary of State in which it urges that a very definite policy of friendship be a hoped by 11 American government; that American officials who are sent to Haiti be selected because of their fitness to meet the peculiar conditions in that country; that, particularly, a great deal of work must do along educational and arithmetic lines; and that one of the essentials for effective work in Haiti is a knowledge of French, which is of paramount importance. Senator McCormick speaks French, which is the language of the land. The language of Creole is also helpful, but the knowledge is of paramount importance. Senator McCormick speaks French finely and his colleagues on the Senate Committee have the ability not only to speak French but to understand French as spoken by the native Haitians that the work of the committee was made much easier than they expected. In part, referring to the work which the American Colored man* may do for his brother in Hawaii, Senator McGormick's report says: "Here missionary enterprise, altogether apart from religious teaching, can render a great social service. Here, too, the American Colored man, trained at Hampton or Tuskegee (like the trained Colored lawyer in the reform of Haitian justice) can gender a man of more moral race. The field of industrial and agricultural education is virgin. There is everything to do. Tools, seed, sires, and special teachers all must be brought to the country. "It is obvious I think. Mr. Secretary, that such a general policy as many of us who have visited Haiti for study are agreed upon, can only succeed in the measure that competent men are wisely chosen to carry it out. As much as we must deplore the instances of illegal or otherwise outrages acts committed by individuals in the force of the occupation in Haiti and Santo Domingo, these acts isolated and rare, and several the isolated and rare, and several by their suicide or confinement to assultum, that they were irresponsible. The Government of the United States is, I think, comparable, because it has developed no policy and because it has in some instances chosen or has permitted to be chosen as its representative in Haiti, men who Pola Nergal In "One Arabian Night." It is a story of Oriental love, mystery and intrigue, and is declared to cellose her former successes in every way. Much of the action takes, place in the harem of the sheik, where a hundred beauteous young maidens loll away the hours on silken pillows of every shade and the sun on their faces, keen on the harem, romance invades it—and strikes Zuleika, the favorite. "A Thousand To One" And "The Girl From Country" Critique: Critique Hobart Bossworth in "A Thousand to One" will be the *Criterion Theatre feature this Saturday.* It is a heart-human story of the love of man and woman and the regeneration of the man to make himself worthy. Nell Shipman in "The Girl From God's Country," will be the attraction at the Criterion Sunday. Beautiful life at the North-Woods offer the finest bit of photography seen in years. The Little Nell Shipman animal actors, including Brownie, the bear do some great work in the North-Woods scenes. Another sure of the picture is a thrilling airplane battle, 5,000 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. On Monday this theatre will present "The Call of All People," with an all Star Colored cast. It tells of a man who had to be brought down to the realization of his race blood by his sweetheart who tells him "When You come to me as one of my own people then and not before then—can we hope to renew our friendship. He soon finds out that "It's not creed or color that matters—it's the man that counts." "The Cup Of Life" And "The "Harricle" "The Cup of Lily" will be featured at the Jesterniere this Sunday and Monday. Singapore, the trade center of the Orient, a port of traditions and modern business, where today rules shoulders with yesterday, is the alluring background of this *Hison H.* three production stories is a tremendous gift of a mother's love for his son and of the suspicious vengeance of a powerful Chinese merchant prince. Doftly combined with a delicate love story, and scenes of stirring action, are revealed the fundamental differences that the former separate the Orient from the Occident—the dividing line of races. Another special attraction at this theatre will be William Chrisy Catanine's "The Barricade" on Wednesday and Thursday. The story is built around the experiences of an elderly Hebrew who puts into practice his theories of love and human understanding. He takes an Irish boy, the son of his beloved partner, into his own home when the father dies and rears him as he would his own son. The boy becomes prosperous, marries and drifts away. But circumstances cause him to return just in time to save his poverty-striken old benefactor and the barricades of prejudice and false pride go crashing down before the power of genuine love. "The Old Oaken Bucket" And "What "The Old Oaken Bucket" and "What Do Men Want." Pendleton may be a screen version of "The Old Oaken Bucket," a two day run at the Pendleton Theatre, is a story sprinkled with smiles and tears and memories. Adapted from the old song "earl and dear to millions of people," "The Old Onken Bucket" is a heart-trobbing story of childhood days as every man and woman lived them. "The Orchard, the meadow, the deep-tangled willwood, and every loot spot which your infancy knew," are pictured in this drama of the heart with a realism that is surprising as it is entertaining. During the presentation of this picture a vocal rendition will be given by Miss Emma Keene. The Lois Weber production, "What Do Men Want?" will be presented at the Pendleton on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It is a gripping narrative that makes men see and understand the things they really do want, and supplies wives and mothers and sweethearts with knowledge of what makes for happiness and contentment among men and is said to reach the greatest heights Miss Weber has, ever attained in her art of producing living, breathing, photodramas. The two special feature nights recently added to the Manhattan Calendar have started with big success. These are Tuesday and Thursday, each week, when the attraction is a Waltz and Fox Trot contest. A prize is given to the winning couple each night and all good dancers have a chance. The admission is 10 cents. MENTALIST AND PALMIST I Quickly Bring Success. In Trouble Call On Me.

RACE CONSCIOUSNESS HAS REACHED AFRICA SAYS ENGLISH PAPER War Has Produced Praternal Feelings Among Natives And Antagonism Against Witles Is Growing The Associated Negro Press LONDON, Eng. Jan. 11.—(By Mail) Anti-wolf feeling is fast increasing among the intives in various parts of Africa, states Reuters in an article "based on documentary and other evidence obtained at first hand by an authoritative British observer who has visited every part of Africa." Its informant emphasizes the growing concern over animal lives throughout the continent. The strongest factor in the development of antagonism to the whites is skillful propaganda fostered by an extreme section of American Negroes. "Circumstances coming from nationalist sources in India and Egypt and from pan-American societies in the United States translated into five of the principal African languages" are distributed in enormous numbers throughout the world. Booklets of swathtiness for third graders that the time has arrived for the black races to assert themselves and throw off the white yoke. "It is only fair to say," adds the authentic British observer, "that these are not received with universal sympathy, but the very unsettling effect is easily observed." He has met it in the union of South African, in French equatorial Africa, and in a lesser degree in Uganda, in Nurasland, Belgian (Congo, Abrystina and Kenya). It is wonderful the extent to which the introduction produced external feelings among natives, but in most of circumstances they tend to become anti-European." he continues. The main reason is the growth of race consciousness thru the world. race consciousness thru the world. "The most effective remedy is an equitable system of land tenure guar- ancheting to the native a stake in the land of the native." His own chief or local European interest and a system of higher education that provide something more than the three 'Rs.' PROBLEMS OF URBAN NEGROWELFAREWORK The Negro urban population of the United States is now, in round numbers, about 450,000, and even more when towns and villages of less than 25,000 inhabitants are included; that is one third of the Negroes of the United States are now living in villages towns and cities. The larger part of the increase in Negro urban population has been due to migration. In the past five years some 500,000 Negroes have moved from rural districts into towns and cities. A large proportion, therefore, of the Negro population is now in city conditions. It is this more or less unchange from rural to urban conditions that gives rest to the many members of Negro urban welfare with which we are now confronted. This move is from rural to urban centers enriches a treasured cost of life, health, and morals. Over against these losses we are of course at able to place a great many gains. There is a distinct advantage in having a large number of Negroes living in urban centers. It a have that group leadership is developed. It is a distinct advantage to have a large a number of Negroes living in cities. It enables them to diversify their occupations, and to have all of the activities—industrial, personal, professional, and trailing—that tend to make a normal and well-rounded group. The real question after all is not so much the cost of the change from rural to urban life as it is in how this cost can be reduced. The real function of the increasing number of welfare workers among urban Negroes is to assist in helping reduce this cost by indicating the ways in which the problems of employment, family life, crime poverty, health, sanitation, recreation, and education can be handled so that the general welfare of the Negroes will be promoted in the best way.

Copyright, 1931, Western Newspaper Union LESSON FOR JANUARY 15 ELIJAH'S CHALLENGE OF BAAL WORSHIP. LESSON TEXT I-1 Kings 15:14 GOLDEN GLOBE the victory over the ometham the world, even our faith I- John 5:4. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Josh. 24: 14:26. Eph. 6:10-20. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Answers Eli- lahry. JUNIOR TOPIC—One Man Against Four hundred and Fifty. INTERMEDIATE AND NENIOR TOPIC Ages 11-14. Victorious Champion. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Modern Evils: How to Light Them. I. Elijah Meets Ahab (vv. 17:10). At the Lord's command, Elijah shows himself to Ahab. When Elijah was last seen by Ahab, he announced in him would only be given by his word (17:1). In connection with the Prophese's appearing before the king, rabbit was prophesied. 1. Ahab's question—"Art thou' he that troubleth Israel?" (v. 17), Ahab's aim was to intimidate Elijah—to awe him into submission. 2. Eiljah's answer (v. 18). He denied the charge and boldly declared that the calamity which had befallen the nation was caused by the idolatry of Ahab and his family. 11. Eiljah's Challenge (vv. 10-24). 1. The people assembled (vv. 19, 20). The king conceived the people at the urgent request of Eiljah. 2. Elijah's ringing-call to decision (vv. 21-24). (1) The question asked—Who is your God, Baal or the Lord? (vv. 21). Many of the people had not wholly forsaken God. They attempted to worship both God and Baal. Many today are hailing between two opinions; they are hailing between self and God—sin and holiness—mammon and God. But the question must be settled sooner or later. In fact, the decision is being made every day. (2) The silence of the people. (vv. 21). This may have been because of fear of the king or ignorance, for many were of the opinion that to be religious was the only thing necessary, irrespective of the being worshiped. (3) The method of decision. (vv. 22-24). Two sacrifices were to be provided, one to be offered to Baal, the other to God. The god who answered by fire was to be the God. The people consented that this was a fair test. III. The Test Applied (vv. 25-39). 1. The offering by the prophets of Baal (vv. 25-29). Elijah gave a fair test, even placed the advantage on the other side. He gave the prophets of Baal the first opportunity to prove to the people as to whether Baal was a real god. Elijah taunted them, and they more earnestly cried to Baal, but no answer came. IV. The Execution of Baafi Prophets (v. 40). The reason for this drastic action runs that Israel's government was a theocracy - God was their King. Idolatry was treason against the King. These false prophets were accusers to God and therefore should die. V. God's Propheta Vindicated (FV. 41-46). The proof that Elijah was God's prophet was incomplete' ill rain came. Israel under his ministry had now turned back to God, and God made known to them. His graciousness. The Bounds of the Sea. Fear ye not me? said the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sands on the bound of the sea by a mortal decreal, that it can thence roar it; and though the it can thence roar themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they rear, yet can they not pass over it—Jesus miah. 5:22.

CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION RENEWS FIGHT FOR THE POLITICAL PRISONERS NEW YORK, Jan. 4—Renewed effort for the release of the remaining 175 political prisoners still held in federal prisons have been announced by the American Civil Liberties Union which has been conducting an amnesty campaign at Washington for the past two months. The new campaign is directed not only to the release from prison of those offenders convicted for expressions of opinion but to the restoration of their civil rights. dismissal of the charges against the release of soldiers convicted during the war for purely military offenses, many of which involved only expressions of opinion. In a statement announcing the new campaign the Civil Liberties Union calls attention to the character of President Harding's Christmas parade which "in no way constitute recognition of the principle of amnesty." The statement says: "Of the, twenty-four commutations of sentence made by the President, only three were political prisoners for whom the Administration offered no mitigating circumstance. These three are Eugene V. Debo, Jaw W. Coldwell, of Rhode Island, and Edward Hamilton of Chicago. In all the other cases, some reason was given as that the men are old, or pentiment, or denied the offenses for which they were convicted, or are subject to deportation. "An analysis of the twenty-four cases shows that five of them were not political prisoners at all. They were men convicted of offenses during the war which might be crimes at any time though brought under special war statutes. Two of them were men who sold, draft exemptions through their official connections with a draft board, the country without going through the channels." One left the United States unlawfully. One indeed was convicted of an offence not under war laws and committed in 1935, namely, of organizing a military, enterprise against Great Britain and India. "Of the nineteen whose offences were opposition to the war, two were convicted of resisting the draft by force of arms. Seventeen were political offenders in the sense that form is usually used, being convicted for expressions of opinion. Of these nineteen five were already out of prison on parole. So also were two of the five non-political offenders, making seven out of twenty-four who were not even in prison. Of those one was a case in which the Attorney General had condemned error, two years ago, then discharging the government's case against him. The "Christian pardon society" "It is interesting to note that of these fourteen, three are held for deportation, two were alleged to be mentally unbound, three were pendent and have recaptured their radical views and three deny they ever said what they were convicted for. This leaves only three men released without some mitigating excuse. "It is evident that the administration had no intelligible basis of discrimination except to pick cases save that of Debs, which could be most easily defended to critics. There is obviously a disposition on the part of the remaining 97 imprisoned members of the I. W. W., the same consideration as to others although their standing before the law is precisely the same as that of Eugene, V. Debs." Efforts are being made at Washington through attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union to show the impossibility of any just discrimination between the remaining cases The campaign at Washington will continue in charge of a local committee headed by Gibson Gardner, among the members of which are Father John A. Ryan, Frank P. Walsh, Mrs. Robert M. Lafollette, William H. Johnston, Basil M. Minly, Jackson H. Ralston and Henry R. Mussy. A Large Printing Plant NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Among the pleasing disclosures concerning our interest in the amusement world, one of the most astonishing and at the same time most substantial, is the Ferguson National Printing Company of Indianapolis, Ind, according to J. A. Jackson in the Billboard. Some very fine specimens of the work put out by this enterprising race concern have been brought to the attention of the Page. The company has a $50,000 plant, fitted with the most modern equipment for doing two or three color work. The employees are all colored as are the officers. The most significant feature about them is that they are in the general market, and are not confining their search for markets to our own group. Because of this they deserve and are getting the support of many of our show and theatre owners. CUT THIS OUT Take Out 10 per cent Of First Cash Order You.

Black and White PAGE ELEVEN PAGE TWELVE ORGANIZATION IS INPERATIVE TO GOOD BASEBALL Managers Must Be Protected From Players Being Tempted To Jump From Winning Clubs, To Keep The Championship Bee Buzzing. By DAVE WYATT CHICAGO, III, Jan. 11. The clubs that compose the western circuit of the Tentative organizations the Negro National Base / Ball League, played to 600,000 paid admissions during the season of 1927. With thirty games, practically one month play, clips from the regular schedule to permit a full season, and East, a section that was practically without attractions and calling for help, the Western circuit in 1921 came within the paid admission figures of 1820 by a deficit of but 20,000. Notwithstanding, the great economic interest that languishes the whole world the Western circuit and associated memorials, the Negro National College professional Base Ball clubs, from a financial stipult, have passed two of the most successful seasons in the history of the Negro in baseball. The one thing that will maintain base ball on its present high plane and which has brought it to that status is organization. Without the latter every league would be an war with every other league and not only would the element of sport be at low cubs, but stability would be an altogether minus quality. The essence of the life of base ball is the hope that springs eternal that the home club shall win a pawnment. Those efforts of the managers of every club from second place down to eighth place are closely watched by the loyal followers of the game and they indulge the hope that every change in the roster of the team will help to strengthen it. The fans will watch a bottom place team gradually strengthened and with each successive season working near to the cohesion of the team hands in second place. The team is therethined up a little during the winters months, and it's followers believe "our team" now is ready to capture the thing that makes the game worth while—the pawnment. But right here a bunch of pirates, whose sign manual is the dollar marks jumps in and breaks up the wishing combination by prevailed up three or four of the best players to jump their contracts, the team unables and the hope of a pawnment is crushed. How long would the public support teams under these conditions? The followers of the game quickly would see that their one privilege was to contribute money, for a thing to unearm to attract even the most speculative person. They would sit at a glance that if it was a battle of magnates for dollars and they would quickly decide to let the magnates furnish all the money. Viewed from all angles, the only conceivable process that will make possible the perpetuity of base ball is organization; a plan whereby the powers of the game will his rights are to be respected by the players of every other team. Only in this way the game be kept at once in a high business plane and at a high standard of socialism. NEGRO IS AMERICA'S BEST DISTANCE RUNNER Associated Negro Press 1947 FEB 10, Pa. Jan. 11. Americans age in the help of the Parks Olympic marathon of 1824, in East Johnston, the Negro from Pittsburgh, who appears to possess all the qualifications of a great distance runner, according to a leading sport writer. He has style, sport, and sanitation, the attributes of a real runner without having prepared himself for a race with a score of nine or more that right off the tree and when he had fancied he was to run but a dozen feet behind him, he came from Compton and spedel winning ability over a game of old fashions. He has the close to the ground action so necessary for marathon. And by his running over different distances from two to ten miles, he has shown himself without a peer in the United States. RESULTS OF GAMES IN THE Y. M. C. A. LEAGUES With the first round of the way, all teams having other in the race now the championship will begin. With the first round of play out of the way, all teams having played each other in the race, now the light for the championship will begin in earnest this week. **Volley Ball** Of the four teams in the league the Old Man has made, the best showing to date having turned back, all her fees and finished the round with a clean slide. To finish up the round, last week the Invincibles with Capt. Hancock took no pity on Capt. Raymond Mc Chusker and his falling Spartans Braves and handed them another defeat. The Spartans has a rather hard time against but the teams that whipped the Spartans the last time around will find them much harder the next time as the Spartans will be able to put a better team up the door. Indoor League The indoor league has not been able to play right up to the schedule as many of the players found it rather hard to get around during the rush days preceding the holidays. Now the rush days are over and the men are getting around the league will run off as scheduled. Four teams will finish cat the schedule instead of as before entered. The Scullus Steek the Black Swan. All Stars and the Indian will light it out for Base Ball honors. The game 'this week' will be between the Scullin Steel and the Indians. Basket Hall The Panthers in the Junior League leads the way for the youngsters having defeated their field in the around. The Cubs last week trounced the Wild Cats in a real battle. Their victory gave them the runner up position for the round. The game this week will feature the Buffaloes and Panther. The Buffaloes will be able to punch better game as the addition of a new forward will help their line up. In the Senior Division the Bottoms Gang quitter stand out as having made distinctly the Aesthetic showing, having turned back all the other fives on the first trip around. However the score in all the games was comparatively close which would indicate that other teams have a good chance to come up and dethrone them at any time should the Gang encounter a slump. The Tribune Five last week trumps all the Tigers for the score of 32-12. The first half the Tigers gave the Tribune Five an hot argument but the final period was featured by a Tribune spurt in the Five tossers camped off with an easy victory. The Swan are down to chase in the next feature of traction Saturday night when they will meet in the first game of the second round. The Swans will have a chance to even things up with the Gang as their first engagement was a victory for the Bottoms Gang. VOLEY BALL Tennis Won Lost P. C.

When seen by an Argus reporter, Mr. Foster stated that the last years players on the St. Louis club had been retained and the prospect for a successful season was very bright.

BERT WILLIAMS MAY TRY SERIOUS DRAMA Associated Negro Press _____ CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 11, Bert Williams, who is now startling in Chicago may soon enter the regional drama, according to information gained here. One of the leading dramatic critics of the city recently commented on this fact in a daily paper. He said: "The immensely twilight of *Bent Williams* chief song in *Under The Bamboo Tree*, and the remarkable pup under which it holds the audience, makes me wonder why Williams does not attempt soon what he has long claimed as his ambition—namely the playing of a real drama by a Negro author. I would like, says Williams, to interpret my race as sympathetically as Mr. Warfield did a certain class of American citizens in the recent "Audience." Each "of us who has Negro blood is one that never falls to 'stamp' on the heart of the spirit its race traits." The laughter I have done, is only on the surface; I would like to strike deeper, that I made this and, great joy he is he is not so accomplishist an artist as Williams is able from any problems of our American Negro citizens and the stage as able to move to the hearing he is able to true that in one of the richest fields for the American dramatist only the surface has been serathed.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 13, 1922 DYER MAKES STRONG PLEA FOR PASSAGE OF THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL CONTINUED FROM PAGE NINE sulted in death from shock of a patient that day operated upon. Local and State authorities frequently offer only the feebest objections to the actions of the mob which is permitted to do its will unchecked. Rarely are the members of a mob sought out and prosecuted even when, undisguised and in full daylight, they have participated in murder, and only in a few isolated cases has any lyncher ever been punished. It has become obvious that officers, of States and counties are powerless to enforce the rules laid down for the guidance of civilized society unless their efforts are reenforced by the expression of an enlightened and effective public opinion. Patriotic citizens throughout the country feel the shame which lynchings case upon the Nation, but they have assumed partial responsibility for this shame by their silence and their acquiescence. The time has now come when citizens of the United States can no longer complete without protest the attacking of a fundamental principle" upon which their citizenship is based. They can no longer permit open contempt of the courts and lawful procedure. They can no longer endure the burning of human beings in public in the presence of wom en and children; they can no longer tolerate the mercy to civilization itself which is contained in the spread of the "mob spirit." The undersigned, therefore, as citizen of the United States, without secession or party bias, with the interest only of the Republic at heart, urge all public-spirited men and women to oppose with all their might the resuscitation of the crime and the shame of the mob pardur; they urge the governers of the several states to do all that is possible to prevent and punish lynchings; they pledge their support to the officers of the law, who in the duties of mob excitement discharge their duties; and upon the Congress of the United States, they investigate of lynching and mob murders, to the end that means may be found to end this scourge. This appeal was signed by leading citizens from all sections of the country. Among them were: A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General of the United States.

Lyringer—1920 The number of lynchings of the year 1820 is 65. However, this figure does not include the victims of the election day trouble in Ocoee, Flu. Though the press reported only 6 Negroes killed, white residents of the vicinity say that from 30 to 50 were killed. Of the 65 victims mentioned above were white men and a woman. Were it not for the Ocoee, Flu, incident on election day; it could be said that lynchings had decreased in number. But not only have they not decreased in number, but the brutality of the lynchings is still marked. Eight of the victims, besides those buried 44 Ocoee, Flu met death by burning. One of these was a white man, at Billings, Moht, who resisted arrest. Another because he threatened to kill a white man, was hogged in death by a mob of 40 men. me distinction in France in the Forest *More Evidence* I include other evidence of the name desire of the people that Congress la- ction upon this subject.

To the Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church: DEAR SIR: We have a membership of more than 500 who live in the Mexin oil field, who own large tracts land and are surrounded with oil wells and wells. We people have promised to run us out and treat us like they did these Negroes in Tulsa, Okla. We want to know, can we get the church to unfreeze our property for us? Can we grant the church the power of an attorney to act for us in time of such great danger. These are awful days for we poor help last Negroes in the South. The other children of Negroes in Colledge, Tex. about 10 miles from me burned by unmasked men, children and women, and men jabbed sticks in his mouth, nose, and eyes. This act was done in the day, so if we are mobbed and run out we want some one to see after our property. A memorial to the Congress of the United States The board of managers of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church hereby恳诚memorializes the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States to pass a Federal law for the suppression of lynching, we being thoroughly convinced that this brutality can not be hindered by State legislation, and as the holding of each locality in which lynching occurs, to a community responsibility for the damage of its injustice. mons citizens. We further believe that today is the day of days for such legislation, lusmacus as the Negro race, which has been the most frequent object of lynching, has made a record for bravery and efficiency and patriotism on the battle field and at home, so as to make their conduct a righteous demand that the rights belonging to an American citizen shall be accorded them in full measure. That was unanimously adopted by the board of managers of the Freedmen's Aid Society at its annual meeting January 14, 1919. FREDERICK D. LESTE First Vice President The Fredmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1800. Its purpose is the Christian education of the Negro. It has a theological seminary at Atlanta Ga. for the training of colored ministers; a medical college at Nashville, Tenn. where 500 young men and a few young women are being trained as physicians, pharmacists, dentists, and nurses; and in addition it has 18 other institutes for the training of teachers, industrialists or other Christian leaders for service among the Negro people. These centers of Christian education are open to the people of all denominations or no denomination. In the 52 years of its work, it has sent from these schools ministers, physicians, teachers, and industrial leaders, numbering over 200,000. This service has cost more than $10,000,000 Today it has 20 schools, 334 teachers, and 5,702 students. The annual budget amounts to over a million dollars. Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times. January 28, 1921, says: There will be those who, while objecting to Federal interference in purity State affairs, will not be long in concluding that there may be a civil issue in the preservation of the civilization of the Republic. The most ardent State righter, will hardly dispute the statement that burning human beings at the stake is barbarous, inhuman savage, and un-American. The Federal Government may without offense declare that such practices are repugnant to the spirit and soul of the Republic, and that those who indulge in them are outlaws and enemies of their country and its institutions. Treason is a national offense, and so may burning and indulging the stake come to be a crime such as murder. If the law run mad, as carried out by this insane and inhuman mob, is a direct and fagitious assault upon the civilization of the American people and a wanton and unpardonable crime against the moral and spiritual scope of the Nation. The Nation, therefore, may decide that it may, without violating the rights of any State, take cognizance of this pagan savagey and provide a penalty for it so drastic and severe as to render it exceedingly dangerous for future mob to indulge in it. While Negroes Fought Foe Their Ountry. While the Negro soldiers in large numbers were fighting and dying in France, their relatives at home were lynched. Numerous instances of this have come to my attention. Some of the bravest men in the late war were black men, as the following facts indicate. Distinguished service crosses were awarded by the commanding general American Expeditionary Forces for extraordinary heroism in action in France to the following-named colored officers and enlisted men; Charles G.

Many individuals like Harry Johnson, Neenham Roberta, and William Butler awarded Croix de guerre and distinguished service cross, and scores of officers earned promotions in their military units. Now, specially as to our authority to legislate as provided in this bill, the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution imposes this duty upon Congress. That amendment provides that the state may deny to any person with in its jurisdiction equal protection of the lawa] and further states that the Congress shall have power, force, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." It is well settled, by decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States that the denial forbidden is not alone a denial by legislation, but that "no agency of the State, or of the officers or agents by whom it is directed, shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the lawa." It is thus made the duty of the Congress under the Constitution to enact such laws as may be needful to assure that no State shall dear to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Within the limits of the jurisdiction thus confered, the Congress has the right to exer-ience its discretion as to what laws or what can best accomplish the desired aim. In many cases of lynching the person put to death is taken by a mob from the sheriff, marshal, or other police officer of the State whose failure to defend and protect him desires to him such protection of the laws.
