Jan. 24.—Justice was specially administered and in heavy positions in District court here today when five self-confessed members of the party that dyed Jake Brooks. Negro packing house worker here, on the night of January 14 pleaded guilty, before Judge James I. Phelps, and were sentenced to life imprisonment in the State Penitentiary at McAlester. The five are: Lee Whitley, 29; Charles Polk, 18; Elmer Years, 19; white men; also Robert Allen, 27 and Nathan Butler, 40. Negroes. Whitney and Ycarta are members of the Butcher Workmen's Union on strike at the packing plants here, while Polk is an admitted strike sympathizer. Allen is a cousin of the Negro who was lynched. The speed with which the cases of these five men were disposed to today, as well as the heavy sentences imposed not a record for trials of alleged members of lynching publits, according to R. E. Wood, Assistant Attorney General, was told today he knew of no case in which the participants of a lynching were tried so speedily and given such heavy sentences. Clinax Of Strike Occasional acts of violence which marked the strike of the packing employees. Collington, December 19, 1915, at the Wilson plant, Saturday night when Jake Brooks, a Negro employed at the Wilson plant, was taken from his home at 1805 East Fourth St. by two motor car loads of strikers, split, away to an isolated spot southeast of the Capitol Hill district and hang from the limb of a large tree. Brooks, who had been ill, was sitting at the supper table with his wife and little daughter when the dyncelling party arrived. Two white men, their hats pulled down to shade their faces knocked at the door. Brook's little daughter answered. Armed Men Since Negro "Does Jake Brooks live here?" she was asked. She replied he did. The two men, revolvers drawn, forced their way into the house and seized Brooks. "Nathan Butter turned you in," one of the men said. "We are going to yip you up right." Brooks was forced into one of the two motor cars. The party sped away. Brooks was never seen until the following Tuesday when his body was open awinging from the tree by B. A. beed, 1005 East Fifth Street. Sheriff Ben Dancy staged an investigation of Brooks' disapprovement Sunday after Brooks' wife reiterated that the police refused to guide of the city to search for her husband. Situation Becomes Tense. The discovery of Brooks' body brought about a tense situation which led to the institution of marital law. Governor Robertson offered a reward of $2,000 for the apprehension and conviction of the lynchers. A reward of $500 for each of the party was offered by the Chamber of Commerce. Nathan Butler, another Nagi, implicated by Allen's confession, and Allen were arrested by Dancy's order the Sunday after Brooks' disappearance. They were released but were "shadowed" by deputy sheriffs in hope of obtaining information. The day Brooks' body was discovered, Allen and Butler were arrested by the city police. Many Arrests Made Dancy ordered, the men brought to the county jail when he questioned them, deputy sheriffs indicted him for additional charges. A total of twenty-two arrests were made. The men were held in separate cold and questioned. Thursday Allen, confused in January, He declared he would have told about the launching the day after it occurred but that he feared his life would be taken by the strikers. "The men out there (referring to Packington) would get and if I told Allen, said to Packington, "They told me the night they hang Brooks that they would hang me one if I told. They all took, an outfit to be my anything about the hanging." WOMAN AND MAN MURDERED AND BURNED BY MOB Their Charred Bodies Are Found In Ruins Of Home After Conflagration. The Woman's Head is Missing. Packing Plant Strikers Blamed For Crime. Special to the Argus. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok. Jan. 25—The people of this city and state are wrought up over the killing-burning of Willis and Mercy Hall, his wife here early last Sunday morning, by a mob who proceeded to attack and rob them to death and then burned their home, leaving the bodies in the flames. Mystery Surrounds Killing The whole affair seems to be shrouded with mystery so far as the officials are concerned. However two colored men have been arrested in the case, and the authorities are holding them in the belief that they will "tell something" soon. It is generally believed that a mob of strikers, desperate in their efforts to win the strike at the Packing plants broke in on, and killed Willis Hall, who had been working at the plant and killed his life, and burned their home and the property there. The County Clerk who held the inquest over the charred bodies was not able to fix the blame nor was he able to tell just how the victims came to their deaths. A search for the head of Mrs. Willis is being made as the head was missing from the charred body taken from the ruins of Willis' home last Sunday. It is thought that the mob cut her head and has it in hiding as a servant. Chas, McCloud, special investigator for the Governor, believes that the head of the woman will be found but refuses to give his reasons for the statement. Strikers Blamed While there have been no official actions taken against anyone as yet, but public opinion lays the charge of this astrocious crime at the door of the house of the late James Brooks who was lynched on the 14th, for whose murder live men have been convicted and are facing the "pen." A Sable Situation On the surface, everything seems to be quiet here today except a few comments of the convictions in the Brooks case. But the close observer, can see an intense unrest among all classes. No one will trust the other and at times it almost seems like a smouldering vipen which is threatening to blow up at any moment. The Colored people are cautious in their going out and their coming in. But are beginning to prepare for the worst. As time roll-on, no one will venture to predict what tomorrow will bring forth. chapters which are located at universities and colleges of high rank throughout the country, and from the several alumni chapters established for the leading industrial centers of the United States. Among the aims of this fraternity is the creation of a deeper interest of Negroes in higher education, the facilitating of the adjustment of these men to their college environment by creating an atmosphere of home life at the various college towns and the encouragement of individuals in the pursuits of college study. In the annual meeting adopted as activity National movement "Bigger Negro Business," the object is the encouragement of the Negro youth in that type of training the institutions of higher education.

Jan. 28.—Special—Jefferson Black, a white man of Montgomery County, Ark. has petitioned the Arkansas' Supreme Court in an effort to prove that his children have no Negro blood in their veins. The laws of the state of Arkansas hold that any person having even the faintest trace of Negro blood in their veins are of the Negro race. Fir school district No. 16, has excluded Black's children on the ground that they have a small amount of Negro blood. In Black's suit it is contended that: the children have a small mixture of Cherokee blood from their mother's side of the family but that there is no evidence of Negro blood at all. There are many witte sex and much evidence in the case. The wealth of Black and the beauty of the children in question has created a wide spread interest. No one to see the children would ever imagine that they were any other but pure white, like many other colored children of this section, but nevertheless if the school district can prove its contention that they are in any degree cloaked there will be no recourse for their, white father other than to send them to a colored school if he wives, them to attend a school in this state. NEGROES CONTRIBUTED $2400 TO URBAN LEAGUE PROVIDENT CAMPAIGN The Provident Association and the Urban League express their sincere thanks to the contributors in the recent drive, which amounts to $2400 to date.

HARRY B.HAWES OPINION ON THE LYNCHING BILL In Letter To Baptist Ministers Union, Says Will Only Pass House In Emasculated Form. Confident President Will Not Sign It If Passed. Says The Bill Is Most Upfortunate For Negroes Following the telegram sent to Harry Hawes by the Baptist Ministers Union, Mr. Hawes sent a lengthy reply in which he expressed his opinion of the Anti-Lynching Bill. The following is a copy of the telegram and reply: St. Louis, Mo. 1-17-22 Hon. Harry B. Hawes. House Representatives. Washington, I.C. We the undersigned committee of the Baptist Ministers Union, St. Louis Mo., and vicinity, selected to enter the unqualified protest of the Union against your anticipated speech before the U. S. Congress, as presented to the public through the chief Washington correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. Jan. 14, 1922, against the Dye Anti-lynching bill. Baptist Ministers Union, St. Louis, Committee: Dear Sir, Your telegram of recent date received. Reply was delayed because of the expectation that the debate on this subject would be closed and my answer would be more comprehensive. In the language of one of the Republican members of the House, "some attempting to sell you a gold brick." The call which you advocate may pass, the House in an emasculated form. It is not intended to pass me Senate, and in my judgment, will not pass, the Senate. If any possibility it should pass the Senate, I am confident it will be vetoed by Freedman Harding. The bill is so clearly unconstitutional—the principle involved having been ruled upon by the Supreme Court in a number of cases—that it will certainly be reversed by that tribunal. It will not oppose, but its introduction calls for a vote, as such as I am concerned. I shall cast, my vote with the very firm conviction that it is done in the interest of my country, and especially in the interests of our Negro citizens. Being presented with the question of approval or disapproval of my vote, I am compelled to make known the reasons of my opposition. In my judgment, this bill is the most important for the Negro people, and has been introduced in 50 years. It will not help them; it will hurt them. It is not intended to become a law, but to answer a political demand. Members of the Republican party in Missouri must thank the Negro voter for the public offices held by them, and if they are grateful, they should extend some proper rectprocy. I do not know whether this bill, is the result of propaganda by your own face, or whether it is simply a political promise made which it is never intended to carry out. This measure will adjourn sometime in June. The accuracy of the prediction I make will then be known to you. I am a 'sincere friend of the Negra citizen in all proper legislation for his benefit and advancement. But I would stultify my oath as a Member of the House and any intelligence I possess. If I voted for this bill, Considering as I do an extension of federal control, over 9000 public clerks in the State of Missouri, and over 150,000 in the United States, it would, in principle, destroy the last vestige of local power in the State conflicts all over the United States. As soon as the printer furnishes me with copies of my address, I will send you one. In the meantime, take my predictions, with regard to the fate of this bill at their face value, and wait for the verification of the predictions until Congress adjourns, and you will see how the law imposes upon me DUBOIS TALKS ON PAN-AERICAN CONG. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, nationally known us Editor of "The Crisis" and internationally known for his contribution to the world of letters and as an unifying advocate of the rights of men, spoke of the accomplishments of the second Pan African Congress at Metropolitan, A. M. E. Z. Church last Tuesday night. No speaker to a St. Louis audience has ever received more earnest, thoughtful attention than was accorded by the filled auditorium of men and women who heard Dr. DuBois and rarely has any audience anywhere received a clearer reasoning on the role of Pan African Congress led up to the opening day universal浸入 Which the American Negro is forced to take part in. The Pan African Congress is the effect of practically the same causes which have made necessary the revolutions in India, China and Egypt; The South African Native Congress; The West African Native Congress and various other organizations and activities by colored races for protection against the greed and devil and exploitation by white men of the bodies and wealth of the countries settled by weaker peoples. Dr. DuBois uses us an excellent history of British domination in the orient; and the settlement of Hong-kong and Guangzhou by Hengxing St. Louis the closest interpretation of the meaning of "extraterritoriality" so much written of in the daily papers at this time we have heard. "Extra territoriality," said the speaker, "is the same as though an Englishman, living in St. Louis, should walk up to an American citizen of St. Louis, and slap the American down and American police be powerless to arrest the offender. In this case the offended citizen of St. Louis would have to notify the British authorities and wait for redress for the wrong done him by the Englishman." This is a mild way of stating one of the minor wrongs to which the Chinese nation is subjected by the white governments which have set up courts and made laws in that country and it is one of the reasons for the Chinese revolution and the general unrest which is finding expression throughout the world. The second Pan African Congress, according to Dr. DuBois, was not a large gathering, comprising 112 delegates from European governments and no newspapers gathering of colored peoples has ever received the amount of attention from European governments and no newspapers this congress of earnest colored men and women. The Congress, like all groups of essentially intelligent human beings that war is no easier of differences between peoples; while condemning the treacherous which has been practiced by white races in their exploitation of the wealth of the countries of subject peoples and studying from which darker peoples suffer a result of the entailed oppression, the Congress is not and will not be an advocate of a race war for the securing of our natural rights. It was clearly demonstrated by the audience at Metropolitan that St. Louis colored people can hear, appreciate and understand a lecture of the deepest intellectual significance world wide importance and interest. Dr. DuBois statements show clearly that thinking colored not only intellect and nature, but also between oppression of Chinese in China, Hindus in India, Egyptians by Egypt, Africans in Africa, and colored people in the United States. Following the address by Dr. DuBois a quartette composed of Mrs. Zel Colerane, Miss Ruth Hunter, Mr. Robot W. Roman and Mr. A. Well-represented the Bridal Chorus from the opera "The Rose Maiden" and followed with an an encore. Jubilee song, "Long as I can feel the Spirit." The A. understates the answer. Dr. DuBois indeed here gave an informal reception here at club rooms immediately following the services. REPRESENTATIVE ASWELL MISREPRESENTED. THE NEGROES OF THE SOUTH Associated Negro Press.

ASKS GARVEY TO CORRECT A STATEMENT NEW YORK, January 24—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a letter written to Marus Garvey, Managing Editor of the Negra World, a newspaper, calling upon him for retraction of statements published in the number of July 21, 1922, and directed against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, although the Association is, not mentioned by name. The letter, which was signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, follows: Managing Editor, the Negro World Sir: "In the Negro World of January 21, 1922, on page 5, column 2, occur the following statements: 'All the troubles we have had on our ships have been caused because men were paid to make this trouble by certain organizations calling themselves Negro Advancement Associations. They paid men to dismantle our machinery and otherwise damage it so as to be about the downfall of, the national. We are aware of course that the name "Negro Advancement Associations" is sufficient like that of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to lead some persons in spite of the absurdity of the occupation to believe that, it is this Association which is being referred to. We do not know of any other organization with a similar name. We must therefore ask you, in justice to your readers and to the members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to make it clear that you did not intend to accuse this Association of employing any man or manchery whatever on any ship worker. As you know, such a statement applied to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People could be characterised only as a malicious falsehood of the most contemptible sort.

Congressman Dyer Rece Many Telegrams Con ulating Him On His I Fight And Victory. Just as we go to press, the Arg- ceived a telegram from Hon. I. Dyer informing us that the Anti-Li- ng bill had passed the House by a 220 to 119. Virgil Franklin sent a telegram bearing the new passage of the now famous sure. This is the climax in a long file Congressman Dyer of this city to a law passed making lynching a real offense. The passage of the was bitterly opposed by the rabble mocrats of the South who tried to feat the bill to the last. The bill seemed to hang fire in House under the assaults of the Dew- dens until Wednesday of this year when Representative Shannon of Missi- iop openly advocated and defended lynching in bold terms. Whereupon the majority of the party such tactics as Mississippi representative was tried to put over, and decided to bring matter to a vote. Summer of Texas made feeble effort to block the bill by recommitment an also by amendments, all of which failed. When the roll call meeting the Dye- were 220 and the "mays" were 2, the measure carried nearly 2 to 1. The bill will next be introduces the United States Senate, and w passed by that body, it will go to Lois Idaho Harding for his signature, it becomes a law.

Speaking before a group of parents, pupils, teachers and business men in Friday night at Marshall school P.Langston, the principal told of the great need of the hour among the colored people of the city. He told his hearers what the Negro business meant to the child in school and that cooperation of parents, teachers and the business man would more than an inspiration to the youths of the race than anything he knew. "I feel it my duty" said Prof. Langston, "to have you here that I must call your attention to some things I observed as a teacher. You can't appreciate what it means to the or girl or other races when the teacher tells them to study and to pare themselves to fill the spaces the commercial and business work in what that your boy and girl. What we are doing along the business or commercial lines to inspire youths that are passing through schools daily? I tell you we have grave responsibility." Prof. Langston enlarged upon the subject by in other concrete examples. He commended the St. Louis Negro Business association for the efforts being made that organization to do the thin that were so much needed in the gro of the city. Cooperation of C. of C.

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.

JAKE JICK One Year $2.00 Five Months 1.25 Three Months .75 Single Copy .05 Advertising Rates Purchased On Request Those who are opposed to the Anti-lynching bill are relying upon what they call "State Rights" to defeat the bill either in the House or in the Senate. The argument is old. It is as old as lynching itself. Its just another way of saying "Right to Lynch" without interference on the part of the United States Government. To lynch a Negro is the height of pleasure to a large number of white people of America, and we regret to say that some members of Congress are among that number. Everybody knows that no state has the right to punish a citizen without the due process of law. It is equally true that every State is constitutionally bound to give all citizens the equal protection of law. This has not been done. We challenge anyone to say it has been done in this country. Because Negroes have been lynched as a mere pastime or sport, and state after state has declared themselves helpless to prevent it and powerless to prosecute the lynchers and as a result, we have right here in America over live hundred thousand known murderers at large and no one to bring them to justice. Each one uninured, first, because they are "white" second because of "State Rights." State officials representing the states in the capacities of judges, juries, sheriffs, constables, jailors and governors have tailed. Hence the states have failed to give the Negro protection from mob violence. The anti-lynching law is the proper thing, if lynching is to be broken up. There is no other course open. Many Laws Covered By Federal Statutes The Federal statutes are full of protective laws which operate in the states and we don't hear these lynch-lovers hollowing about them. We have Federal laws to protect the birds, the fishes the cattle, the drug addict, liquor, stolen automobiles and many other subjects. Why none of these defenders of State Rights have ever raised their voice against these laws. Its because they think it the proper thing for the government to do. But when it comes to protection of human life they show their colors; they show what they love; they show that they are creatures of the mobs and they don't want their popular pastime broken up. We admit that the Negroes of America are particularly interested in the success of the bill. We have feelings, hopes and aspirations. W want our lives secure in the pursuits of happiness just the same as any other citizen. When that is denied with the sanction of the government, it becomes a crime that is unbearable. For the life of us, we cannot see how any man, he he ever so depraved by practice, or dwarfed by doing small things, can look upon the bloody record of lynching and burning of human beings and have the gall to stand up in Congress and make a fight to maintain that condition. "We cannot see how some newspapers, especially the St. Louis Post Dispatch who claim to stand for law and order would plead for a new lease on the life of the lyncher by opposing the bill on the flimsy excuse of State Rights. What are you going to do when officers fail to do their duty and states fail to act? Shall lynching go merrily on, while the loyers of the sport hide behind State Rights? Strange as it may appear, despite of the arguments of those opposing the bill, to the effect that they are "opposed to lynching" we have never heard one of them, (newspapers included) advocate a single law which had for its purpose breaking up of mob violence. STAY OUT OF THE RACE MeJIMSEY E. E. E. McJimsey of Springfield; Mo., was in this city a few days ago, and according to newspaper reports, said that he had been urged to enter the Senatorial race this year. Of course, he stated that he had not made up his mind as to just what he would do about the matter. Ambition being blind, he is likely to yield. Inasmuch as, he is not likely to consult us about the matter, we will volunteer and advise him to stay out of the Senatorial race as, the same fate awaits him as did when he ran for governor two years ago. The one big job for the people in the Thirty-second District next Tuesday Jan. 31, will be to get out a large Republican vote. Its up to you to stop talking and go to work. Vote yourself, and then see that the other fellow votes Tuesday, Jan. 31. Don't forget your friends. Your enemies some how will keep you reminded of their ever presence. This Week This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo. W. Buckner WHERE WILL YOU GO WHEN YOU GKT SICK? Family and friends will not be received with the same courtesy as other visitors, though they pay the same rates as other patrons. Clearly, the only thing for the colored people to do is to make the People's Hospital what it should be. A leading white physician said to the writer that he regarded the color of his acquaintance who operate at this hospital as a poor collect physicians and surgeons, and that he himself treated patients there further said that the colored are The percentage of people who may undergo hospital treatment is relatively small. The majority of people keep food and are little concerned about where they shall spend their sick days. Only a few of the thoughtful people practically the same few who bear the community's problems, are interested in providing a comfortable institution for those in need of hospital care. Just now the People's Hospital, the only private institution of its kind in Louis which is entirely operated and for colored people, is passing hru the same critical peril all private hospitals must experience. It needs more and better facilities to serve properly the patients of this community and those who come from it sections of Missouri and other states. Institution, if for no other reason than a purely which one. The majority of the 70,000 Negroes this community cannot secure treatment in white hospitals because they must. These institutions that, when colored patients do not feel most part want them, and if they are admitted, it is their family and friends will not be received with the same courtesy as other visitors, though they pay the same rates as other patients. Individually, the only thing for the colored people to do is to make the People's Hospital what it should be. A leading white physician said to the writer that he regarded the color of doctors of his acquaintance who excellent physicians and very excellent physicians and that he himself, treated patients there the further said that the colored people should support such a worthy and necessary institution. During the past year the People's Hospital has rendered this community a service unsupported by that of any institution. Its demands for service are daily increasing. It therefore needs the increased moral and financial support of all citizens. It is a race enterprise in every respect and the colored citizens of St. Louis who so loyally support every worthy institution must now lend their all to the development of the People's Hospital. C.

HARRIS To Mothers of the Summer Alumni Association Greetings: A most interesting meeting of the Summer Alumni Association takes place on Saturday, January 28 when the tentative constitution will be presented for ratification. It was a pleasant awakening in getting hundreds of pledges asking that a Summer Alumni Association be organized to learn that the signers felt that sons needed an organization, and why? Because there was need for a higherist In our Alumni Mater. need for a higherist interest for the boys and girls who wanted to square its portals in the future, and need for a closer union and more friendly relations on the part of the hundreds of graduates, themselves. Many derived the fact that Summer for so many years had no alumni association. And now the vital question that kind of a Summer Alumni Association shall be? Shall it be a "social" organization or shall it be an organization with a more "posse"? Obviously St. Louis has need for more "social" organizations; it does have need of organizations for unseafish service. If a narrow interpretation of the term "alumni association" is unwallowed, even the suspended by many presidents, we shall automatically convert our organization into a social organization. We should, therefore, see that only a brand interpretation of the association" is accepted so that the association might not be carried out in "recurring useless and constructive work" or might not be placed in the category of social organizations of St. Louis, Missouri. If it could be my privilege to speak on the floor of the meeting, there would be four things than I should light for the last stitch: FIRST. That Summer Alumni Association award every second year an scholarship of $10,000 to some needy and deserving graduate of Summer II and deserving graduate of Summer I. St. Louis, Mo., of a class not earlier in January 1822 to help graduate students in higher education in some field that will benefit in the Northwest. On this year's $20 members this amount may be covered by an addition of twenty-five cents in the annual dues. To each such award I personally pledge $10,000 and promise to go, sell, and more through subscriptions. This would make an award of $20,000. SECOND. That Summer Alumni Association conduct an annual "Go to School" campaign to encourage pupils and girls to stay in school. An annual $25 cents per member would cover the expenses of this important activity. THIRD. That the Summer Alumni Association entertain the January and June Graduates of Summer High school, and not force this duty on varsity cheerleaders. FOLI EPTL. That the Summer Alumni Association shall suspend any member or alumni found guilty of circulating unsigned letters, cards, or pamphlets in the past or future, attacking another member, manual or implied, on the material theory that an alumnus must let her dispose of black masters, thieves, disgruntled stockers, and the act itself be made aware of. Therefore, be it resolved that the members are audited to belong to the Summer Alumni Association, and shall be Bachelor and permanently suspended. In赦議局. If we adopt constructive measures, and say "we can" our work shall carry on; but, if our cursus are apathetic, and say "we can" we shall thwart our every effort and truss out every action. Healing thiefs shall be constituted that shall make the Summer Alumni Association an "Organization with a Purpose." I am. Yours truly. John D. D.

RARE ORATORY OVER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL WASHINGTON, Jan. 23—Remarkable history of the oratory to say nothing of unbolding the clipes of constitutional governments have been heard and observed here in the House of Representatives during debate on the Dyer anti-lynching bill, Representative Thodoree E. Burton, of Cleveland, Ohio, formerly a member of the United States Senate delivered a speech that will be discussed for years to come. Congressman Burton inquariously for the bill and gave a major legal reason that made his colleague the rapt attention and take notes. Rep. presentative Tinkham of Mass.; Rep. Vare of Team.; and Rep. Taylor, Republican of Tennessee, are among others who spoke in favor of the bill. There is no question but what the Republicans are determined to put the bill across, and while it is a good and needed law, it is being done also because the Republicans realize that they would not hard "hold" once in a thousand" of holding Colored men in the North without favorable action on the bill.

ARTHUR NIMAGAVA HOR-TON-A Grew this Hair Long and Silky L Sumners' Attack On The Dyer Anti- Lynching Bill The following concludes the arguments made in the bitter attack of Congressman Sumers of Texas on the Dyer Anti-Lynch bill. The Civil Rights Cases Among the leading cases construing congressional power under the fourteenth amendment are the Civil Rights (109 U. S. 3-1). Speaking of the case, the court said in the first section of the fourteenth amendment, the court says (p. 11): It is State action of a particular character that is prohibited. Individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject matter of the amendment. It has a deeper and broader scope. It nullifies and makes void all State legislation and State action of every kind which impairs the privilege and immunities of citizens of the Union, which injures them in life liberty, or prevents them from process of law, or which denies to any of them the equal protection of the law. * * * To adopt appropriate legislation for correcting such prohibited State laws and State acts and thus to render them effectually null, void, and inactions. This is the legislative power conferred upon Congress, and this it the whole of it. That is what the Supreme Court says about it. It again at the court says (p 13): * It is absurd to affirm that, because the rights of life liberty and property (which include all civil rights that men have) are by the amendment sought to be protected against invasion on the part of the State without due process of law— There is vice in what is attempted here. The Supreme Curt says that it is absurd to hold that because the States are prohibited from depriving due process of law that Congress enact statutes under which, the congress would undertake to provide due process of law. Does the gentleman get that distinction? Mr. DEMPSY. I understand perfectly when the gentleman is talking about the individual but— Mr. Mr. SUMMERS of Texas. Let me move with talking about the individual. Mr. DEMPSY. But the gentleman has not quoted any case yet which deals with an officer. Mr. SUMMERS of Texas. Of course I have not, but the gentleman must give me a little time in which to do that. Let me repeat again what the court says: It is absurd to affirm that because the rights of life, liberty, and property (which include all rights that men have) are by the amendment sought to be protected against invasion on the land, they are not protected by law. Congress may therefore provide due process of law for their vindications in every case; and that, because the denial by a State to any person of equal protection of the laws is prohibited by the amendment, therefore Congress may establish laws for their equal protection. The court says that sort of thing is absurd because no attempt to be done by this bill. I do not say that it is absurd, because I have too much respect for you gentlemen; but the Supreme Court, evidently, did not feel that way. Then the court, as though in criticism of this pending proposition says with reference to the matter then referred to, that the authority of an act granting all citizens equal rights in hotels, lans, and so forth, without regard to color— This is not corrective legislation; it is arbitrary, and direct, it takes immense latitude and absolute possession, of the subject of, the right of Admission to laws, public conferences, and places of amusement. It suppresses and displaces State legislation on the same subject or only allows it permissive force. It ignores such legislation and assumes that the matter is one that belongs to the domain of national legislation. That is, what they assume, here. Why, if it belongs to the domain of national legislation to protect against mob violence, then it is within the domain of national legislation to protect against every sort of physical violence. You can not find one single rule that draws the distinction. If it is within the domain of national legislation to protect persons, then it is within the domain of national legislation to protect property. What have you left, then in the States? Nothing. This bill strikes at the very heart of State sovereignty and the sense of local responsibility that defines the sort of protection have the people who live in a community? Mr. Chairman, I am just as much interested in the protection of the black men of my country against rob violence as any man in this House. I do not care where he lives. I know that the best thing for them and for the white people down there is for them to have laid on their conscience the sense of responsibility newspapers work and the people work until they build a sentiment there that will defend all the people. I know that nobody can defend them in the presence of a mob, except the people upon whose conscience there rest responsibility of enforcing the law. You must have a strong and vigorous State, and people must depend upon the State and depend upon themselves if you are going to get anybody, there quick enough to get the man loose who has a rope around his neck. The other fellows will get down the day after tomorrow, and that will be just two days too late. I know you gentlemen think you know, about this than you live in this country. I know that you believe that, in a superior conscience—give; I shall not say that, because. I know you do not think that. I know that you know that you do not know much about this question. You had better let us alone who live there. We have a pretty hard time of it now. You captured these black people in Africa and sold them to us. We violated God's great law announced at the gate of the garden of Eden and we are paying the penalty, and you are going to pay a penalty also before we are through. You will have to pay your part of this yet. You got the money for them and then set them free. They are drifting in your direction and you are going to understand this question better some day. Then you will say, "Well, I swear, I voted for that Dyer bill," or perhaps your little child will ask, "Papa, did you vote for the Dyer bill," and you will answer, "No; I do not reckon I did. I did not look at the RECORD the next day, and the Clerk is always making mistakes" (Laughter.) But, continuing with an examination of the authorities. The Case of James V. Bowman In the case of James V. Bowman, 100 U. S., 127, opinion by Mr. Justice Brewer, the authorities which I have quoted from were reviewed, approved and it was again declared that Congress, possession no power under either the tithings or the authorities, enactments to enact such legislation as is here proposed for the protection of one citizen of a state against wrongs committed against his person or property by another. Time will not permit an analytical discussion of the decisions in point. They are so definite and clear, however, that would seem unnecessary. Nor will Members of the House have an opportunity to examine the decisions before they reach the point if you will examine only this one decision. James against Howman, there will be made manifest a lack of constitutional warrant for this bill, considered as a whole, pitable in the extreme, and the lack of any lais upon which the belief that it exists, in good faith, can be claimed. I do not mean to be discourteous or offensive by that statement; but gentlemen, this is a most remarkable procedure, and the latter hope that this House and you are asked to enact it in writing, with the condemnation of the Supreme Court resting in the clearest language upon practically every one of its provisions. Mr. Chalmman, I desire to direct the attention of the House to one more determination arising under a state of fact, most favorable, to the theory of the proponents of this legislation. In 1904 Riggins was indicted with a number of conspirators including one Powell, under sections 5508 and 5509 of the Revised Statutes, for taking one Maples from the custody of the sheerft Continued On Page 12 The Periscope By Associated. Negro Press THE AFTERMATH OF TULSA By A. J. Smitherman For the Associated Negro Press (Continued from last week) The "Tulsa World" in the two above editorials assumed—the real Puritan spirit of fairness, but the pity is that even this influential paper was compelled later on to yield this fine spirit to public clamor and abandon the worthy cause it set out to champion—that of raising funds for thousands of homeless Colored people who had lost all earthly possessions as a result of mob hysteria, to which, according to the "Tulsa World" of June 2, "here and there good citizenship respondent" Later on the "Tulsa World" joined in with the propagandists in an attempt to shift responsibility for the riot and massacre to the Colored people and sought to politely excuse that which at first it had bitterly opposed. The time with the program the ground up and indicted seventy-nine Colored men for inciting in riot and allegeen, white men for looting. The white men have all been released with light flames or completely exonerated while the Colored men are either in fall or out on heavy bond, or have thus far evaded apprehension. Thousands of Colored people left Tulsa during the riot and shortly following it. Some of these have returned in the hope of profitting by the false spirit of penetration and good intentions of the white people to rebuildup, finance and business places. In this however, they were sadly disappointed. Close on the heels of the Colored people who died from Tulsa were many substantial white men who did not care loot to invest their money where mays may happen, or life time's accumulation. These white men readmitted, and logically, that if organized bands of outlaws may murder Colored men, women and children, plunder and destroy their homes and business places as they had done in Tulsa, no such place was置入. Dolle Withdrawn. Three states of the Tulsa banks through the Clearing House Association showed that more than three million dollars was stolen from these institutions following the riot. This of course had a deteriorating effect on the financial standing of Tulsa. Whether or not this money represented the savings of industrious and thrifty Colored people is immaterial. The effect is the same. The repiration program launched by the "Tulsa World" now gave place to a destructive program of humiliation and intimidation by Colored people. Money sent to the group administrators of the other states were quite inadequate to meet the situation and the method of using it was questionable until a committee of Colored men was selected. It soon developed that the whites were looked upon the burned Colored district with covetous eyes and evil designs. The city commissioners passed an ordinance extending the fire limitless so as to include the Colored district which was in effect a公利建筑 act intended to build their property. This more was heartily approved by the Tules Real Estate Association. Mayer T. D. Evans who was himself a member of the real estate firm of Hopkins and Evans was known to have owned the district, a mile further north in order that the buried business might be used for industrial purposes. A "Reconstruction Committees" appointed by Mayor Evans three hours after confirmation by the city commission passed a resolution authorizing a general invitation to wholesalers and industrial plants, having in mind, of course, the surplus Odorod district. There was also some talk of using this land for a union depot at Redland. Mayor commenced with representative raises the question of title and the matter was preferred to lawyers for determination. Test Law in Courts Colored men, however, did not prove the mock, easy victims, that the fathers of this scheme had anticipated Undamaged by the horrors of the recent "race war" which had left them only the rulers and ashes of what was once imposing brick structures, these men of color went into the white man's house, where they were now plainly a scheme to rob them all, that all was left them by the murders and vandals who composed the mob If the city officials did not take an active part in the destructive work of the mob during the riot and massacre, they were certainly taking a leading part in completing that destruction. The mob, sometimes, Colored men get justice, even in Oklahoma. The case tried before Judge W. B. Williams in the Superior Court of Tulsa County, an able jurist, whose high sense of honor and fairness was clearly demonstrated in his decision when he ordered the trial of the suit of this decision white men were forced to give up their pet scheme and those Colored men who were able immediately began a reconstruction program of their own. Many new buildings have been erected and more are being built. Colored Tulsa is slowly coming back. But it will be many years before Tul su fully recovers from the harmful effects of her madness, if, indeed, she ever does. A lawless mob left to its own demise in the midst of a night tumult a whole generation can rebuild in a life time. Hundreds Of Huts Stand While some few are rebuilding their homes and business places with their own money, or money obtained outside of Tulsa (because there is a tactit understanding among those who control the money in this district), financial assistance has been given Colored men in the business district of the burned area) yet there are thousands who are not so fortunate. Hundreds of huts now stand where comfortable homes stood before June 1st and in these huts thousands of women and children, "black in color" to be sure, but guilty of no offense, are now holding closely together in an effort to protect their scantily garbed and undered bodies from the ravages of winter, a little less tolerable, perhaps, than the cold indifference of their white brothers and sisters. We currently pay the Red Cross Sunday $1,000 for presents their sins away. At the moment the East End Relief Committee, S. D. Hooker, Chairman, is sending out the S. O. S. signal for funds to abate the suffering of the Tulsa riot victims. Thus the history of the nation's most destructive "race war" is written. Hundreds of lives lost and millions in property destroyed. Innocent men and women whose only offense, according to the white man's own word, was their murder from their uncle's male jacquards on the face of the earth. Vandals and murderers rule supreme in a raging torrent of mob hysteria; innocent, babe made motherless, devoted, wives left widows, and children by the score made fatherless at the hands of an infuriated mob composed of men who boasts of their inherent superiority. All of this in proud America which leads the world in ideals, walks above the dim of a one-sided battle with machine guns and the roar of flames, above the cannonad sounds of explosives dropped from the heart reading cry of suffering women and children begging for clothes and food to sustain life through the winter—pleading for justice! Nation's People Surveil But because of the distance before reaching the law-making body of our country where a few days ago the Sofouf were debating the constitutionality of a bill which, if enacted, would make effective the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States. Surely justice sleeps while injustice runs amuck. To all of which some twelve millions of Colored citizens of 'America together with several millions of fair minded, justice-loving white people of this country and foreign worlds, are by no means indifferent. They are looking on, waiting, watching and praying for the awakening of the soul of America, and who knows but that some day this latent force will assert itself-wild usher in a day of reckoning for the lawless element of our country? In Tulsa, as in many other parts of our country, the callous spots of indulgence on the souls of black men have been rubbed off by the fretion of race hatred, leaving the raw bleeding sores of injustices and contumelie for a half century's accumulation, and they are now smarting under the sting of a growing national indifference to their cause. Will America awake.?? LINCOLN AND NAPOLEON FACE EACH·OTHER AT ARMS SESSION (By The Associated Negro Press) "Two central ideas are still struggling for dominance in the conference and they are persuaded by two marble statues which are among the sights of Washington. One of these is the heroic figure of Lincoln, by French in the peaceless Greek temple called the Lincoln Memorial, and the other in Vincenzo Vola's eloquent figure in the Corcoran Art Gallery. "The Last Days of Napoleon." "In these two masterpieces of sculpture is embodied more of the significance of the present stage of the conference than may be gained from the wearied utterances upon the present state of things by dignitaries, with earnest nerves—such interviews we are the daily food of correspondents. "The truth that lies back of the lets is spoken so clearly by these two art treasures of the nation that even the tourist, trying hurriedly to "take in" more than he can hold, may scarcely miss it." Napoleon incarcerates impenetrable militarism, and Lincoln represents the people's plan, the cause of humanity, the yearning for justice and peace. "Three doors away from the building in which the conference aisle is the Corporate Art Gallery which displays as the chief treasure among sculptures a scaled door of Napoléon bore 'his art.' The sculpture draws the visitor again and again. It represents the man with bicee sought world rule as now a 'prisoner in valhalla dewdw or all signs of pump. With the pillows and wrappings of a pick man about him, he sits With a map of the world on his knees. The MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR GROWER Dept. A. S. THE MADAM C. J. WALKER MFG.

It is the forerunner of a mighty poor harvest. massive head is bowed in grave contemplation. Dreams of empire and of the successes that might have been are in the far-away look of the eyes that seem to be surveying the glory that was missed as well as the glory that was possessed. No Trace to Penitence "There is no trace of penitence or disillusionment in the face. The figure represents the failure of militarism. It is true but no regret for it. If he could do so, this conqueror who seems to breathe through the cold marble would lose that legions agree to believe that "Gallantry" is the side of the heaviest battles." Defeat and exile have not changed his faith in imperialism. His meditations over the outstretched map are all of conquest. "One wishes the delegates could go atfoot to their meetings instead of in speeding automobiles that they might pause to contemplate this "sermon in stone" Over against the conference sits this rare figure of a disappointed and dying world conqueror, who once embodied the sort of power that still struggles for mastery in the present meetings. "A greater than Napoleon is also in Washington. The stature of Lincoln is enshrined in a white marble Greek Temple which surpasses the architectural heirage of the past that I have seen in Greece, or Italy, or Egypt, or Syria or Babylonia. Surely America does not realise what a matchless treasure it possesses in this memorial and in the Washington Monument, which stands as part of the one vista in the National Capital, America has the two finest monuments ever erected to individual men-for the pyramids had a different purpose and the last of the monumental arches are not comparable with these. Buildings of Burberry "It was a flash of genius that made Lincoln, the best representative of the common people of America, the occupant of the American imperial Greek Temple." There is nothing else in the hall but the statues. The idea in the construction of the temple, the idea of the helium and prayers of the people of the earth.

But it is not reclining. The square-toed shoes are firmly planted and the gnarled hands grip the arms of the simple chair. The pose is one of purpose. This is Lin- coln, the thinker, the man, the burden bearer. The sorrows of the ages are written in his face. The tragedy of slavery and human wrong ever over the weight of the people bear and the people for the goals they seek. The mystery of the misunder- standings they suffer and the dreams they dream are graven deep in the inmembrances of the face that bears alike the traces of the agony of the race and of the sure confidence of the lover of mankind. Here is the personification of the new young nation, injured to burial, fearless of any foe, simple in its instinct of friendliness, learning for an end to the old world's ways of class and war and privilege. "The Lincoln stature embodies what the world knows and what the conference was called to do. "The Napoleon stature embodies what the world was used to do and what the conference was called to end. "The present situation in Washington is Lincoln versus Napoleon—reesterday versus tomorrow."

First, as a labor question:—His competition with the whites is resentful for the old reason that his scale of living is lower. Second, as a political question:—the injection of a mass of ex-shaves into the voting population brought its inevitable confusion. Third, as a social problem—the Negro cannot be argued or regulated out of his status of human being, and as such, he has to get along in some way with white human beings. There is another aspect of the Negro question, however, which has been pointed out that it is the artistic and aesthetic aspect. While the Negro is infective to the Anglo-Saxon in the rougher and more practical activities of civilization there are certain regions of sentiment where he is superior. In one realm of feeling the Negro is distinctly superior, and that is music. The only entirely original music produced in the United States and perhaps in the world, in recent times has been the Negro melodies. They are the primary material of our vanguard music, the inaugural one. Nabbi, Curtis Burlin recently got out *n* species of four pamphlets of Negro folk songs, wherein there is presented to us, in a striking way, the musical genius of the Negro. The black man produced his music as all true music is produced, as a by-product of his work, his play, and his passion. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 27, 1922 to contain interesting examples. For example there is the "Peanut Pleickin' Song," which grew out of the times when the shaves of all ages gathered round, the open bonfire and picked the harvested peanuts from their stems. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School "I Kln fill dll 'basket if I choose, Den Mama gwine give me Chris-mus shoes, Two red han'kerchiefs un' a walkin' Den Is' gwine strut down de Big House lane." There was the "Hammerin' Song," which comes from the mines of Virginia, where the workerchanted a simple refrain and were lead by a "header," or leader, who received extra pay for his ability in improvisation. Besides these there is the "Chuckkahawk," used by the workers on the railroads, imitating the puffing of locomotives; "Liza Jane," one of the many songs improvised for dances; the "Cotton-Pickin' Song," the "Corn-Shuckin' Song" and others. And no mention has been made of the largest field of all, which is that of the spiritual songs and religious hymns at the point of it all is that the "Nobleman" thinks musically. To the white man, music is a luxury. To the Negro, it is life itself. CONSTITUTION OF U. S. IS TO BE REPRINTED CONSTITUTION OF U. S. IS TO BE REPRINTED Associated Negro Press, WASHIHONT, D. C. Jan. 25—The Constitution of the United States is to be reprinted. This is not an alarmist statement. It does not mean there is to be a new constitution written, but that every so often there is published in the Constitution of the United States, together with citation of cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, construing the provisions of the Constitution and the several amendments. This is a very valuable document, not only to the legal professors, but to the members of Congress, newspapers, students of our government, etc. The last such reprint was made in 1813. Since then there have been several amendments to the Constitution and a great many Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Constitution aid amendments. By virtue of a resolution passed during the closing session of Congress, this complication is to be brought down to data and a new reprint issued.

C., Jan. 25—First appearance of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan outside of the offices maintained at 801 Munsey Bldg. was made shortly before dusk, in Rock Creek Park, where a small initiation was held, according to a statement mad, public today by Samuel F. Poindexter, head of the organization in this city. One of the number took some pictures of the weird ceremonial out in the open, the film of which was sent to the Star. The picture as described by Poindexter, depicts three candidates pleading their allegiance to the secret order in front of the ferry cross, the emblem of the invisible empire. It was the first ceremony of its kind to be held outside, and according to a statement given out as the office is to be followed by many others. "We plan a large initiation ceremony in the near future," Mr. Pondexter stated. It will be held in a different place, perhaps, but if not in the defined territory of the District of Columbia it will be held just outside, either in Maryland or Virginia. (Klans with us, as the society is likely join) in with us, as the society is likely organized in many of the small towns near Washington. Charleston, Baston, Alexandria, Fairfax Court House and Falls Church have had Klans for some time and recently an organization of the order has made its appearance in Hayattville, Md. "In regard to the local klan, let me say that it is growing rapidly and I expect to see a charter for it in a short time. The organization here is composed of men prominent identified in walks of life. We were here yesterday we are here today and we will be here forever." Galveston Police Chief Says No K. K. K. Parade Will Be Permitted There Associated Negro Press GALVESTON, Texas, Jan. 25—Rumors that there was to be a parade of the Ku Klux Klan, in Galveston one night his week brought forth a statement from James O.

Armand, campanelling a grand jury for the new form here, declared the darkest blot on the good name of "our state" is that mob violence, seems to be an established and protected institution. "Members of a mob," he said, "are above the law and immune from punishment." The court charged the jury to investigate the lynching of Carley Hackey, a white man charged with attacking a young girl, who was taken from the city jail December 15 and hanged. He urged the jury to do its duty. Family Coal Company, Inc. WALTER PATTON, MGR. Dealers in All Grades Coal, Wood and Kindling. You Make No Mistake in Ordering From Us.

Copyright, 1932, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JANUARY 29 ELIJAH IN NABOTH'S VINEYARD LESSON TEXT-I Kings 21:1-29. GOLDEN TEXT-Be sure your sin will find you out-Num. 23:23. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Learn. 25:23. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Lev, 25:23-25 Amos 3:1. Mitch 3:1-4. PRIMARY TOPIC-The Sin of Selfishness. JUNIOR TOPIC-Elijah Denounces a Selfish King. INTERMEDIATE AND BENIOR TOPIC Jebovah's Champion Feared. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Respecting the Rights of Others. 1. Ahab Covets Naboth's Vineyard (vv. 1-6). 1. Location of the vineyard (v. 1). It joined Ahab's summer home in Jezreel. He wanted to transform it into an herb garden and thus round out his property. 2. Ahab's proposal (v. 2). He offered to buy it outright for money, or give in exchange a better one. Ahab's wish for it was a selfish whim. He did not at all need it. 3. Naboth's refusal (v. 3). It was for a twofold reason: (1) regard for the paternal estate; (2) obedience to God's law (Lev. 25:23-28, cf. Num. 36: 7-9). His refusal was on conscientious grounds. A king, even, has no right to ask of his subject that he violate his conscience. 4. Ahab's behavior (v. 4). He came into his house, lay down upon his bed and refused to eat. The king was sucking like a spoiled child. This is a picture of what a fool even a king may make of himself. Let us learn that "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Tim. 0:6). 5. Jezebel's inquiry (vv. 5, 6). Apparently she came with the sympathy of a wife, inquiring as to the cause of his behavior. But when she knew of Naboth's refusal she was violently angry. That a humble subject should refuse to conform to the desire of the king was an insult which she would not brook. 11. Ahab Taring Possession of Naboth's Vineyard (vv. 7:16). J. Zeebers' treachery (vv. 7-15). (1) Her contemptuous question. (v. 7). She tainted him for his cowardice. The fear of being thought weak moves a weak man quickly. (2) Her exhortation to Ahab (v. 7). "Arise, eat bread, and let lone heart be merry." A wife has great influence over her husband. Many a man has been saved from discourage and therefore defeat, through his wife's influence. Unfortunately in this case the influence of the wife is bad. (3) Her promise to Ahab (v. 7). "I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth." She took matters into her own hands. If Ahab was too weak to be king, she would rule for him. (4) Her wicked scheme (sv. 8-15). She wrote letters in Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal and sent them to the siders and nobles who were 'dwelling' in the city with Naboth, asking them to proclaim a fast, as though some great calamity had befallen the nation, and place Naboth before the public as the one who was the cause of it all. They were instructed to find two false witnesses who would testify against Naboth. The charge they brought according to the wicked device of Zeebel was blasphemy against God and the king. Naboth's only offense was his refusal to sell his estate, contrary to the law of God. When they had stoned to death Naboth and his sons (II Kings 9:20), they came and told Zeebel, who in turn came to Ahab with the information and directed him to take possession of the vineyard. 2. Ahab goes to Jezreel to take possession of Naboth's vineyard (v. 16). Ahab not killed Naboth, but he eagerly accepted the prize without inquiring as to how it was secured. III. Elijah in Naboth's Vineyard Announcing Doom Upon Ahab (vv. 17-20). 1. Doom upon Ahab (vv. 17-22). Elijah told him the dogs should lick his blood in the place where they licked the blood of Naboth. Evil was to fall upon Ahab and his posterity, even when out his seed and name. He was guilty of conspiracy, murder, robbery, perjury, blasphemy, though he had been silent and inactive. God held him responsible for Jezebel's acts, for he was king and head of the nation. The day of reckoning did come to Ahab (I Kings 22:38). 2. Doom upon Jezebel (vv. 23-28). She likewise should be eaten by dogs by the wall of Jezreel. This was literally fulfilled (II Kings 9:33-37). "Be sure your sin will find you out." IV. Ahab's Repentance (vv. 27-29). Because of this, God promised to withhold judgment during his lifetime. Death of Abraham. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threesecore and fifteen years. Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people—Genesis 25:7-8. The Murmuring Congregation. And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me?—Numbers 14:26-27.

CAIRO, ILLINOIS Thomas Andrew Head 2807 Commercial Ave. Readers of newspapers who pay for the paper are contributors to the support of the paper and should stand on equal footing in every respect without regard to races, but the Colored people of the city of Cairo, Illinois, have not that recognition with the Cairo newspapers published by the white newspaper organization of the Colored people are carefully and roughly published by the publishers of the said Cairo newspapers. There are at least three hundred Colored people in Cairo, Ill., paying 15 cents per week for these newspapers, which equal $15.00 per week or $40.00 per year, paid by these Colored people to disgrace the race, by newspaper publications, therefore, we need to stop and think; that if this kind of stuff is kept in the library, it will stimulate simplicity, non-race pride and encouragement, the white people to class us as such non-Americans. I was born and reared a shave in Madison County, Missouri, at Fredricktown the County seat of said county. I was deprived of the privilege of education, was not allowed to look inside of a school room, nor go to church on Sundays, except when the preacher was going to discuss "servants, obey your master" at which time we were compelled to go, "but thank God, I never did believe the preacher gave the spiritual definition of that master, nor servant, and now I, through the Diritty that opened the doors of the school and church of time, and my servant, and our others in this country, America will not neglect the opportunity to help push the means at hand, that will force the other people to recognize us as a self respecting class of Americans, in "America, in Calro on any other location, by pushing with our money, might, education, religion and any means at our hands, with our 15 million human will's for the moral, spiritual, financial, and Educational advantages of our people in America. Therefore I urge that it is our duty to read the St. Louis Argus because it has established the fact that it is not afraid to go to the front in defending the Negro race or people of this country, and in a way that they can be helped to admit the facts. I have been waiting for some of our educated men or Southern Illinois, to send out their flash lights of thought, and help get our people think of our duty along the line of race consolidation for our future people in America. I humbly ask the readers of this article to please excuse all of my grammatical error. Use your mildest means in criticizing them and help me out by giving the people something better. I shall write as best I can, and as often as possible when the Argus will allow space. I am somewhat stink on the Argus can't help it, don't want to come bets get together and speak to each other through the St. Louis Argus long, live the St. Louis Argus and God bless the editor and his staff.

Jan 25 - Abyssinia, the Negro Kingdom in Africa, is the last home of open slavery; in its capital, Addis Abeba, there are more slaves than free men, and the British legislation there is full of slaves owned by legation servants minister according to assertions made by 2 white correspondents of the Westminster Gazette who lately have been in Abyssinia. The correspondence assists that the African alleged in the British legation are British subjects, having been captured by slave raiders in British territory. The article says France, Great Britain and Italy, having bound themselves under the arms convention of 1918 not to supply munitions to the Abyssinians, it is now only America which is exporting or seeking to export arms destined to assist the slave raiders. At the present moment, the article continues, there is a large consignment of American cartridges and automatic rifles lying a Albuquerque awaiting the consent of the French authorities for transport into the interior, and, it is believed that the French, not being much in love with the convention of 1919 and feasting an "incident" with the American Government, which probably knows nothing whatever about the affair, may give their consent. The correspondents describe conditions in Abyssinia, as anarchic. There is no sanitation. Already all the interior danger tractors share a trailer which all of conditions would be blacklisted and probably expelled from the country. In an editorial the Westminster Gazette suggests that the British foreign office has preferred to say as little as possible about the alleged scandals conditions in Abyssinia and calls for the abandonment of the "hush policy." "Who would have thought it possible," says the newspaper, "to see any where in the world in 1922 ten thousand captured slaves unreached in one gang to endling captivity. The editor of the Gazette that it is unfortunate that United States did not sign the WB convention, but we feel sure the state department at Washington, once it realizes the fact, will not delay in making its attitudes clear." Offices at Washington are said to be wondering what attitude Colored Americans will take in opposing slavery in an African country, controlled by Africans.

Near West Belle WONDERS NEVER CEASE Thousands of attempts have been made by chemists and others since time immemorial to reduce a preparation or other method of straightening curly or kinky human hair, but all in vain. What science has failed to accomplish, kindly nature has provided, on the Hawaiian Islands there grows a plant called 'Hohuata' that has a remarkable affect on the human hair. The native Hawaiians have long been acquainted with this remarkable plant and have used it for generations as a hair dressing. As a consequence, their hair once short, harsh, coarse and kinky, has become uniformly straight, long and fluffy, and as a race they are now considered the world's most beautiful people regarding hair. A preparation made from this plant, applied to the hair, will instantly remove the kink from the harshest, kinkiest hair, causing it to become smooth, long and straight, continued use will permanently remove the kink, giving one a head of perfectly straight hair. 'Hamasaki & Co., Honolulu, have long prepared this natural hair grower and straightener under the name of "Hairline". This preparation commands a wile sale in South America and other countries largely populated by the colored races, but therefore has never been offered for sale in the United States. In order to introduce this wonderful preparation in this country they appointed an agent to sell it. The agent, that "Hairline" will soon be as popular here as it is in other countries. Persons interested in straightening hair or who wish to make good income from the sale of this wonderful preparation would do well to communicate with their U.S. agents. Hairline is totally unlike any other so-called hair grower or straightener. There is nothing else like it and no preparation has ever been invented by man that will accomplish the results it does. The results are certain; you can have long straight, fluffy hair if you apply "Hairline." One application will immediately straighten the hardest, correct, kinky hair. Continued, one will permanently give a beautiful head of long, straight, fluffy hair. Price per large container, $1. Local agents wanted.

However, the Invincibles gave the Young Men plenty of action and let to worry about it they succeeded in carrying the court into the tennis for both games.

"Pine Street" outplayed the boys from across the river, nippongh to stop at a lively gain to down them. Bond Avenue plays a natural sequence.

C., Jan. 24—Another year of bell-shaped indoor track and field successes is come to the Howard University Track Team with the announcement of its entry in a numb ber of meetings for the coming season. The team will be the first team the team have already reported to Coach Merrison for training and along with them have come a large number of recruits. Of the most significant events in which the Howard Track Team will participate this year is the Penn Relay Games to be held under the guidance of the track team. Franklin Field, Philadelphia, in April. This year Howard has been listed to compete in the One Mile College Relay against institutions having a higher rating in this event than those against whom she competed first year. Howard's success in the One Mile College Relay last year, having taken first place, helped to increase the University's inclusion in the National Track and Field Association. Although the Varsity Relay Team is to compete in a faster time this year, it will be willing to accept itself. Schedule Includes Four Meets. Up to the present date, Howard University has been entered for the Mace Games to be held at Madison Square Garden, New York City, on February 1, 1992. To compete in the 92nd varsity run, the team must be nominated for consideration in the Boston Athletic Association games to be held in Boston. Mass events on the 4th of February. Two teams are to be entered in the Team Relay Games to be held on Franki Field, Philadelphia, Pa., on April 26th and 27th. Last year only the varsity team was sent to these games, and the team won the Relay. This team won its event over a large number of competitors. A Freshman team and a Varsity team will compete in the Games this year. **Heward Track Vent To Be Heated** In **Spring** As a winter track event, Howard University will hold the third Annual Track and Field Meet on its campus on May 17th, 1922.

THE ST. LOUIS AKGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 27, 1922 vent the enjoyment of such right, it is violent mournment and exercise in the particular case of the very function which the constitution of the United States itself, under this clause, directs the State to perform in the interest of the citizen. (Page 409, 134 Fed. Rep.) A State police in attendance to a Ford dug in process in a particular case is discharging a duty imposed upon him by the Constitution of the United States by the Constitution of the United States for the benefit of its citizens. The prisoner also, while confined and being protected against lawless vengeance, that he may have a trial accused of the exercise or endangerment of a right given him by the Constitution, Congress may protect the right by protecting the performance of the duty, and the rights which flow from it. By declaring the violations of State laws he has undertaken against the United States. (Page 411.) The constitutional right of the citizen against hearf or ripen into the judgment of the process at the hands of the State if lawless outsiders preside over the process and their duty concerning it. The right privilege, or immunity of a citizen of the United States under this clause, which is to have his State give him the leaght of the due process of law, which includes in it the right, privilege, or immunity to enjoy freedom, exemption from lawless assault, which subjects between the State and the performance of disobedience, and by such civilian action when the State is the citizen to afford it the process at the hands of the State (Page 123). Continuing the court says: The court does not doubt that Congress has power to punish the new laws against the State and the act of taking a person from the custody of an officer and tying him and that诉讼 598 and 550 of the Revised Statutes apply to them and are "appropriate" legislation to be discharged and the prison committed to the custody of the marshal (Page 123). Not only did the argument before the Judiciary, Committee follow 'the reasoning in this case, but this bill there is just one difficulty. The court which rendered this opinion later in a companion case, the opinion by the same judge, reversed itself and in last reversal was sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States. From the Riggs case, we know that the Riggs case went on the 'Supreme Court. While application for discharge on habeas corpus was pending in the Supreme Court, the Hodges case, 2014 C.V. 1, which came up from the State Court, was also dismissed. In that opinion the Supreme Court, adhered to the former holdings in the Hodges and other cases and against the conclusions reached by the circuit court in the Riggs case. In that case, the Government did not reconsider that an权程留在 the Federal Government to punish one citizen of a State far acts of violence committed against another. Shortly after the Hodges case was decided by the Government, who had been injected jointly with Riggs came before the circuit court, which had decided the Riggs case by the same process and under legitimately the same circumstances of fact. Judge Jones in this case also rendered the opinion for the court, not accepting the decision by the Supreme Court in the. Hodges case as a first date to him not to follow his former decision in the Riggs case, and rederived his position taken in the Riggs case and ordered the involvement against Powell, quashed and the defendant discharged. But the matter did not stop there. From this decision in the Powell court, the Government appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, in a decision, the authority of the Hodge case, affirmed the decision of the circuit court, upholding the fulfilment and discharging the deGallant Powell. Two hundred sold (with) United States. 661. Thus the Supreme Court of the United States again, with only the one issue pending, refused to accept the theory here argued that the king of state here had no power to death, alive or the Federal Government jurisdiction under the Constitution. led by the Federal Constitution (p. 831). But Congress cannot enact a code or "assume any supervision of the police regulations of the States" as in attempted-in this bill. Mr. Chairman, he representatives of the House desire to pursue the inquiry further. I beg to suggest an examination of the report. Co. reported in One hundred and seventy-eighth Illinois, 372. In that case the nature of the power, which of course is a police power, and the origi- nate of its exercise is discussed. It comes from the fact that the police under which each member of the "hundred" was held responsible for the peace, good order and security within the community. Prescribed for in the Bill These remarks to be considered the provision for the defence of the duties of the officers of the State. Its directions to State officers with reference to the detection and punishment of those who have been engaged in rob or robits nots and unlawful conduct with the congressional date are not exigent dependent upon whether there has, in fact, been a failure of "equal protection." It looks to prescribe by a Federal code and punishment of those who have been engaged in rob or robits, prosecuting attorneys, judges, and governors of a policy and a standard of official efficiency in a given circumstance which is a proper standard, but one which does not meet the Federal Government's business of give direction to State officers with reference to detection and punishment for crimes which have already been committed by one citizen of a state or by another citizen of a state. There is nothing in the Constitution which brings this character of offences—mob violence—committed within a state or against the person who has directed or injured jurisdiction of an officer distinguished from the whole body of crimes denounced by State laws. If the Federal Government has this power, or when one man has been killed by a fire, it has a power which covers the tends to the control of the State and municipal police personnel in the discharge of all their police duties. Not only does this section carry the assumption that Congress has jurisdiction over the police duties of state officers, but that it has power of general administrative control over the law-forcing, machinery of the States as such, and that it shows the nonexistence of such a Federal power. These matters have been passed upon and settled. There has not been delegated to the Federal Government the power to do, any such thing. Besides, what brand of statesmanship would involve us in such a government exercise is present from its attempted exercise? Gentlemen, you are welcome to all the credit reflected by these propositions. The first part of section-3 is as follows: That any State or municipal officer charged with the duty or who possesses the power or authority as such officer to protect the life of any person charged with the duty of such much or riotous assemblage, or who has any such person in his charge as a prisoner, who fails, neglects or refuses to make reasonable effort to prevent such person from being so put in danger that he cannot be punished. And so forth. foundation owed a duty under State law as an agent of the State to act for the State and do a certain thing and that he failed to so act for the State. In the Burmese case, one hundred and ninety-third United States, the Supreme Court held that the act of a Subordinate officer done in violation of law was not the act of the State on behalf of the amendment. That is the position which we take with reference to this part of section 3 of the bill. Gentlemen, I do not want to presume upon your interest and attention by proceeding further into the refinements of Judicial construction. I realise that the Court has turned aside by any silken threads spun across the pathway of its inclination. While the decisions of the Supreme Court, when they shall have become so fixed in construction, mark boundary which the Congress can control, the Court must instance must exercise an independent judgment as for its own constitutional powers; and if in its 'independent judgment the Constitution fixes for it a more restricted limitation, than judgments of the Supreme Court imply, the Court must within the confines which in its own judgment, the Constitution establishes. When the decisions of the Supreme Court do not mark the outer boundary line, or move the line here, and there by changing and conflicting opinion, the Court must comprehensively sense, must rely upon its independent judgment. Fortunately for us from the standpoint of the necessity of an independent judgment as to questions of concessionality, the only provision which will allow such judgment is necessary. The others were destroyed by direct judicial determinations prior to the introduction of the kill. This provision is dead also, but the others had been pronounced dead, endorsed by the Sultan and ordered further interment, and ordered further death carried on their respective conditions. It was a ghoulish thing to rob the graveyard and bring in here these poor remains which have been in process of decay, some of them since 1872. Supports of this bill here and thus the death of the victim no federal law now to protect the elfmen in his constitution: Arthus. There is now a Federal Statute, in effect which is as broad in its application and in its protections against wrongs inflicted by mobs and other privilges conferred by the entire Constitution. It is section 5508, which contains this language. If two or more persons compile to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or exercise of freedom, be arrested by him by the Constitution or laws of the United States "they shall be must not more than $5,000 and imprisoned not more than 10 years, and shall moreover be thereafter ineligible to vote in the United States or trust created by the Constitution or laws of the United States. You can make a constitutional law against *mobs* or any other compulsions broader than that, and you cannot stretch the Constitution to fit the law. *as is* attempted by section 2 of this bill. No right of the individual arising under the Constitution can be transgressed against by consignators which is not protected by the Constitution, or by the citizens of the city in which this act does not protect as against consignators is a right which he holds under the Constitution, and therefore can be protected by congressional proposition of law and of law and as of controlling force which can attend an entertainment of constitutional power and of legislative policy with reference to this matter. The right of the constituent to the total of the constitutions is total of the prolections conferred by the Constitution. It is a law law but constitutional warrant, from your position, which is needed, and that can not be had by the enactment of another. The advisatives of this bill cannot even hide behind the pleas of uncertainty. If two or more persons in any State or Territory conspire * * * for the purpose of preventing or hindering the constituted authorities of any such State or Territory from giving or receiving such persons with such State or Territory the equal protection of the laws, such of such persons shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000, or by imprisonment, with or without hard labor, for such persons more than six years, or by both such fine and imprisonment. No question was raised as to the sufficiency of the indictment or the regularity of procedure (therefore, the sole question was as to the constitutional power to enact such a law, which, as clearly as language can describe, exited Congress agreed with the holdings of the court and failed to re enact the statute in the subsequent codification. The Riginis and the Powell cases were lynching cases. The law under which they were prosecuted is allied on the statute books. No question was raised in the case, but the evidence had admitted its autonomy and the fact that in its scope, aside from the question of constitutional limitations, it comprehended the offence charge. The sole question was as to whether the crime of lynching is one which under the Constitution Congress can legislate to prevent. With the law held it was not. The law stands now on the statute books of the Nation to protect the individual against every transgression of every civil committed by congressors against the constitutional rights and privileges which the citizen may have under the law, and every other provision of the Constitution from its first section to the end of its last amendment. if the circumstances which attended this bill were of the normal sort, I would leave the consideration of constitutional power here, but under the present circumstances I feel that the House's action should invoke part of section 3, which constitutes the proponents' first and last line of defense. There is no difference between the Federal government: whatever it may be, to court for failure to protect; to protect against murder, and the power to prosecute and punish him under a penal code enacted by Congress for failure to protect against simple assault, and do so in general terms, and required to punish for failure to protect the person and to punish for the failure to protect property. I assume nobody will deny that. The powers of the Federal Government in general terms and career, to whatever extent it goes, both property and person. If the constitutional power is held by the Federal Government to do what is proposed in this provision, in punishment in a Federal court of police officer, who fail to carry out the congressional edict (to them with enforcece to the protection of the property of all violations in possession and be forbid. It can go up the line and establish congressional supervision over the governor of the State with reference to his official acts touching the protection of the person, and property of his people. I assume nobody will challenge that statement. Under this identical principle it would be if constitutions would be made to govern the governor of a State and send him to Federal penitentiary for the violation of this congressional edict and direction with regard to his duty in the protection of the citizens of his own country. Violate this is not contrary to the law. If the fact is valid, it is highly permissive in receiving doubt in construction as to whether the State granted such power. There is not a provision to negative discretionary State action. Congress tend to preserve the harmony of the nation by destroy it. That fact, it is also persuasive as against presumption that any such thing was intended. It needs to lavage and must depend less on situationality upon the existence of a Federal power to supervise and oversee that as much, holding them constantly under the control, as a superior Federal authority, clashed with the power over every State object to remove him from the discharge of the duties for which the people of the State have been required to perform him before a Federal power and possibly him to the Federal publicity for something which he had failed to do touching the protection of power or property wholly within the State. It should be your responsibility to look into the weight of constitutional construction you have in the language of the court establishments that, on such power he has been delegated to the Federal Government. That would be a power to destroy sound only. If it be sound, it would be in the power to give the State its executive personnel and by a law certain inclusion in its legislative and judicial personnel also. We have a constitutional power that can arrest the State if it fails to obey the Court not established any such power as arising in the Federal Government. It cannot be established if it does not being part of federal legislation. It cannot be established if it does not being part of federal legislation. It cannot be established if it does not being part of federal legislation. that it was capable of a constitution, the official of a state unavoidable in criminal prosecution in the Federal Government for the breach of duty owed to the State touching police administration within the State as is provided by his bill. The language of the Fourteenth Amendment in states, in which it is imposed, who violates a State law; and a duty to his people, by reason of that fact, comes under the superior jurisdiction of the Federal Government as against the State whose officer he is on the theory that his act deeds against public property. In states, the State acts of the State in the height of absurdity in construction and conclusion. When a State provides in its legislative; executive; and judicial branches for the equal protection of all its people, prescribes pain and penalties for the failure of its officer personnel to enforce equal protection of all its people by any of its officers, there does not arise the fact of Federal jurisdiction or any assumption that its exercise is necessary or would be helpful. If the Federal Government must supervise the official personnel of a state government, there ought to be no state governments. That is the direction in which this legislation leads. Let nobody misunderstand that. If you cannot legislate opioids, you cannot legislate in government and that it is sound in governmental principle, you cannot slam the title that is now motion in that direction with ever-increasing responsibility of the Supreme Court; this is your responsibility now. The opponents of this measure have a right to assume and do assume, that unless the proponents of the measure establish constitutional authority for its enactment, the Members* of the House or the Senate* of the United States, by its enactment. The Members* of the Congress of the United States, guided by the decisions of the Supreme Court are in the first instance, the failure of their own constitutional powers and limitations, and by their outreaches, are compelled to observe these limitations in their enforcement. As a matter of fact during the progress of legislation there is no preemption in favor of legislative authority on the part of the legislative body operating under delegated, limited laws. Clerally when the authority has come under serious questioning, the proponents to establish the power to legislate, and we respectfully challenge them to do it.
