To Death Down In Georgia. No Arrests Have Been Made In The Cases. Two more Lynchings have been recorded during the past week. Another in the State of Arkansas and one "Down" in Georgia. In neither case were the victims charged with rape, but in one case it is said the Negro cursed a white man, while in the other case the victim was lynched because, he is alleged to have shot a white man whom he caught in his back yard late Saturday night. In both cases the victims were shot to death and left in the woods by managed money whom it is alleged overpowered the sheriff. Arkansas Case TENARKANA, Ark. Feb. 16.—P. Norman, a Negro, was lynched here Saturday night by a mob of masked men after he had been taken from a deputy sheriff, who took the prisoner to the woods and riddled his body with bullets. It is now definitely known that Norman was not the man wanted by the mob but he had been arrested as a suspect in a murder case, after he had cursed some white men near Ash-down. It is generally believed that the deputy who took him in custody, know the mob was awaiting him. The Georgia Case. AMERICUS, Ga., Feb. 17. A coronsers jury will be asked to investigate the lynching of Will Jones, a Negro near Elaville Monday. Jones; at the time of the lynching was in the custody of a deputy sheriff. who had been in hiding with his prisoner all day for four of the mob. It is alleged that Jones shot a white man whom he caught in his back yard on Saturday night. Just what the man was doing in the yard at that late hour will probably be brought out at the coroners quest. The victim, after being taken from the house, been taken to acrylic woods and shot to death. No arrests have been made in the case. It is said however, that the participants are well known in the community. BIG LINCOLN-DOUGLASS CELEBRATION, JEFF CITY Special to the Argus. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 13.—Saturday night, February 11, was a banner day in the history of our people of this first on our program in the celebration in honor of the memory of Abraham Lincoln arranged under the auspices of the Capitol Employees' Club was a public meeting held in the House of Representatives hall, presided over by President Clement Richardson, which opened with the singing by the audience of "America," with vim and enthusiasm. Following the singing an invocation was delivered by the Rev. E. E. Treadwell, D. D. A. M. E. Church, Jefferson City. The next number on the program was a vocal solo, "The Trail to Home, Sweet Home. Mrs. Ida Beck of Kansas City spoke upon the "Life of Abraham Lincoln," giving a sketch of the emancipator's life, his work, and his benefits which had accrued to the Negroes of the world as a result of his unselfish and uplifting work. Mrs. Beck's address was listened to with close attention by the 500 people composing the audience in which were many white people and she was given an ovation on the completion of her magnificent tribute to Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln Institute *Archestra* rendered a selection at this point. William G. Matthews of St. Louis addressed the audience on "Achievements of the Negroes," telling of their perseverance and determination to succeed despite any and all obstacles, their efforts to better their conditions and uplift their fellows, and their untiring work to secure better educational advantages for themselves and their children. The speaker urged the Negroes to take advantage of every opportunity to develop their abilities and adroit their interests, to prove by their taking advantage of their opportunities that they do wish to become better citizens in the community and state, and that they are ready to help themselves and each other of all times. Repeated during his address Mr. Matthews was warmly applauded and expressions of appreciation and endorsement were heard on all sides. At the close of the speaking the audience groaned and sang, "The Star Spangled Banner," the national anthem, the black two hundred years impugned to Macon Hall where they were honored by the firm of Lee and Clark, proprietors of the Lincoln Cafe.

The St. Louis Argus State Historical Society Handed Down By A Kansas City Judge In Case Of Lottie Gamble and Others In Mandamus Suit. In the Circuit Court of Jackson County Missouri at Kansas City Normember term A. D., 1921, Division Number six. No. 102118 Mary E. Woods, Plaintiff, vs. Laura A. Smith, et al. Defendants. P.O. Box 102118 Without reviewing the evidence, the Court will endeavor to state its conclusions herein, with its reasons on the Court in this proceeding, to pass upon the title to the alleged offices of the plaintiffs or defendants herein, in the Organization involved, nor upon the title to the technical duties in question nor upon the technical duties in question, and in the third except in far as necessary to form a basis for a decree granting or refusing the peremptory writ of mandamus herein. In considering the nature of this proceeding it is necessary to bear in mind at all times the principles applicable to the law pertaining to mandamus. Probably the most important and essential principle applicable to the law is the rule that "the legal right to halt or retor to the performance of a decree or act of which performance is sought to be compelled, must be clear and complete." Mandamus will not issue to enforce a right which is in substantial dispute. It will not issue to enforce a right which is conditional or incomplete, by reason of conditions precedent, which are still to be performed by the petitioner or retor, which is contingent upon the further achievement of the possibility of performance. It is seldom invoked to enforce mere equitable right. It is asserted by the plaintiffs that they represent all of the loyal members of the Lone Star Chapter No. 2 of said United Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. This is disputed, it being testified by the witnesses other than plaintiffs and defendants, that they have been are still members of and loyal to the above local and Grand Chapters. It is asserted by plaintiffs that the defendants are all disloyal to and are no longer members of the said Local and Grand Chapters. This is denied by all of the defendants who testified, who swore, on the contrary that they were and are and have first joining said Chapter, loyal members of the said United Grand Chapter and of said Lone Star Chapter No. 2 thereof. It is maintained by, the plaintiffs that the defendants, by their acts, have withdrawn from the above Local and Grand Chapters, and have become members of a new Grand Chapter, known as the Harmony Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, To substantiate this, they show that pursuant to certain arrangements between representatives of the United States and the Grand Lodge of Masons) of the State of Missouri, the plaintiff Lotte J. Gamble, the Grand Matron of the said United Grand Chapter, issued a call for a joint meeting with said Grand Lodge, to be held at Mexico, Missouri, on October 7th, and 1821 and that thereafter an Injunction Suit having been brought in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, at Kansas City, to prevent the use of money and books of the Lone Star Chapter Number Two, of the above United Grand Chapter for the purpose of joint meeting, the said Lotte J. Gamble in proper deference to the Courts order therein, issued an Edict Calling off the said meeting; that thereafter, the Grand Master of the said Grand Lodge of Masons (usurping powers which he did not possess) issued an edict calling the said meeting for purpose of reorganizing the said United Grand Chapter and adopting, and ratifying a new constitution thereof; and that irrespective of the said Calling off the said meeting, and the spirit of the order of the Court in said Injunction, Proceedings and wholly without compliance with the Constitution and-Bays of the said United Grand Chapter, proceeded to hold a meeting pursuant to his said notice at Mexico, Mo, on October 7th and 8th, 1821, at which said meeting an organization was formed under the name of the Har- (Continued on Page Six) ST.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST.LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1922 Two Speeches In Congress On Day Anti-Lynching Bill Was Passed Two Speeches In Congress On Day Anti-Lynching Bill Was Passed DISABLED EX-SOLDIERS GIVE NEGROES CREDIT TO ORGANIZE CHAPTER IN REWRITING HISTORY It will be of interest to the readers of this paper to note the speeches below which were delivered in the House of Representatives January 26, the day the antifetching bill was passed by this body. Representative Fish of New York, pleads for its passage as a duty, while Representative Blanton of Texas charges the bill a hoo-door because it is No. 13, and begs the House not to pass it. MR. BLANTON, Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the gentleman's motion. If this pernicious bill is to be passed by the House at all, then I think it ought to be passed just as the framers prepared it, so as to let the bill pass without being what it is in their minds. We have been arguing this bill now since the 19th day of December, off and on, and every colored person who has been in these crowded galleries during the last few days knows that if the framers of this bill had intended to make it a law they would not have numbered it 13. There is not a colored person in the United States who will have any confidence in the law when you pass it when it has the number 13 attached to it. (Laughter.) They know that it means bolluck to them; and I will tell you Colored Service-Men Getting Together For Adjustment Of Claims For Injuries Received In War. The Disabled Veterans of the World War is an organization in which the colored ex-servicemen are taking a great deal of interest. At the convention of the Disabled Veterans held recently at Washington, D.C., this organization was recognized by the Corps of the Veterans Department as a representative organization of all disabled soldiers. What is probably more important is that thousands of cases of disabled men who had failed to receive their just compensation for injuries received during the war were adjusted, compensation was allowed and checks mailed to the deserving men at once. In the first two days of the conference more firmly settled and the checks mailed out wile the conference was still in session. St. Louis Colored Chapter to be Organized Last Wed., evening at Pine St. Y, M. C. A. a few of the colored ex-service men who are suffering injury resulting from military service met with some of the white members of the state organization of Disabled men and made plans for organizing a colored chapter here. The purpose of the chapter was to fulfill benefits due then because of injury and to get in touch with asylum who is suffering in any degree whatever from such injury. The organization has opened offices at Washington and have established permanen- bauling difficult cases of intent headquarters there for the purpose jured men. The Argus Cooperating A. K. Mitchell, Editor of the St. Louis Argus has offered to lend to the injured or disabled ex-service men all possible assistance in getting their claims adjusted and in getting 'in touch with those men who are suffering from disabilities. In conjunction with other public institutions the Argus will get in touch with the Colored ex-service men, advise them in having their just claims adjusted and allowed All colored men who are suffering from injuries are requested themselves or through their relatives or friends, to get in touch with the Disabled Veteran's Bureau, 3737 W.

Feb. 15—An announcement was made here this week that tentive plans have been drafted for a Negro National Educational and Industrial Revolution in 1923, (July 1st) at Jacksonville. The grounds for holding same and draft of necessary buildings have already been procured. This enterprise is said to be the result of consultations which have been carried on between a large number of public spirited persons of the United States and several small foreign countries throughout the past two years. The promoters state that because the realization of the importance of giving the world an opportunity to become acquainted with the real achievements and progress of the NEGro, it is recognized that the assembling of these achievements will greatly stimulate the higher and better qualities of the race and tend to solidify our energies and aspirations. Works of merit in literature, art- science, invention, industry — agricul- ture, etc. are to be played in this Exposition. Musical attractions of the highest order are being reserved. Comp- petitive vocal and instrumental con- tacts open to the world and many other unique feature never before announced are expected to appear on the program. Edward Bok says there's little justi- ling or crowding on the road, that leads to success. He traveled it mite- self. Therefore, he knows. what the destiny of this bill is going to be. You will pass it in the House and possibly in the Senate, though I doubt it, but either in the other and of this Capitol or in conference it is going to die a natural death, and that death was intended by the very men who have been speaking in its favor here for several weeks. Mark that prediction. History will show that it is true; that you will never pass it into a law. You have put it out here as a sop to the colored men who have tilded the galleries since the argument upon it began. There is one thing about the South that the colored man has learned, and that is that we never fool him. We tote fair with him, let them commandeer with him, do not raise a snake in his behalf and then fail to carry out what we promised him. When a Southern State or a southern man promises a colored man something, he fulfills his promise and gives him what he promises. You promise to pass this bill No. 13 for the colored people of the country, and when you pass it in House, you know it is not going to become a law, and how are they going to feel toward you when they find Pickens Shows That Part. Negroes Have Played In Past History Has Not Been Recorded. Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK CITY, FEB. 13.—William Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P., appeared at an investigation in New York on behalf of the commission of Accounts for any books. The following account of Mr. Pickens' testimony before the commissioner of Accounts of New York is taken from the New York World. William Pickens of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made a plea that the part played by Negroes be included in American history. "I want through public school," he said, and graduated from Yale and was a grown man before I ever learned that it was a Black man who shot Major Pitcairn at Banker Hill, or that one man out of every ten at the Battle of Atlanta had a black cow (that to the War of 1812 the Cow) or Black men behind the American pursuit of cotton bales, or that George Washington had hundreds of Colored soldiers, or that Abraham Lincoln said that without 200,000 black troops on the Northern side they never would have won. "For the sake of good feeling between black and white that is essential, I want our histories to show the part thus Colored soldiers played in the great war. THE NEGRO AMERICAN VETERANS OF THE WORLD FORM ORGANIZATION Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. The Negro American Veteran of the world in the name of an organization formed here this week by former enlisted men and officers. "Lest they forget was the slogan of a determined group, of over 100 ex-service men, who gathered here at the nation's capital to form a national organization of Negro Veterans of the World War. Enlisted men and ex-servicemen mingled freely a real spirit of camaraderie which bespoke success for the movement. One of the first motions adopted was the abolition of war, thereby eliminating all of the conflict and petty jalousy that might come as a result of past military distinctions. "The organization is the inevitable outgrowth of the discrimination that has been practiced everywhere against the Negro veteran" said Dr. T. E. Jones, former captain in the Medical Corps and a warrior of the D. S. C. who was elected National Chairman. Specially has this discrimination been most rampant in the South, in the treatment of suffering and disabled men. Our organization means to root out these cases and to stir up the country to the suffering and dire need of those men. Denied admission into the hospitals of the South thousands of these veterans suffering from tuberculosis and mental disorders are languishing away in insanity and abuse and are almost sure they have no means for treatment but the hospitals will not take Negroes. Hundreds of men with naked tuberculosis are being inadequately cared for in their homes taking chances with the lives of their own people, rather than be sent into the miserable hobbes that are being imprisoned for them. Even worse than this is the condition of still other thousands of nearly veterans who are entitled to compensation but who are infiltrated from making claims for government relief. Dr. T. E. Jones was elected National Chairman, Capt. Campbell C. Johnson, vice-chairman, Louis R. Mehlman, Secretary, Victor B. Daly, Na Was Nominated By President Harding Just a Week Ago. Man of High Standing. New In Political Field Special To The St. Louis Argus. WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 15- The United States Senate today confirmed the appointment of Arthur C. Froe as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Froe's nomination by President Harding about a week ago, was quite a surprise to the local politicians as he was almost unknown to most of them. It will be remembered that Henry Lincoln Johnson was nominated for the place by President Harding some time ago, but the Senate refused to confirm him. Mr. Froe comes highly recommended and is regarded as being the right man for the place although new in the political field. CLIFFORD TAYLOR IS ON TRIAL FOR GRAHAM MURDER Self Defense Is His Plea. Verdict Of Aquittal Is Expected Special to the Argus. CLAYTON, MOG. February 17. The case of Clifford Taylor, who is on trial here charged with first degree murder in the shooting of his former employer, the late fl. B. Graham, was near the close last night. The prosecution asked the death penalty, for the "murderer" of the rich paper manufacturer, while the defense is "sure" of acquittal for Taylor. On the witness stand in his own behalf, Taylor told the jury that he shot in self defense, only after his former boss had reached for his gun and threatened him. The attorney was assailed by the defense, and even the witnesses for the prosecution testified that Graham drank from forty to fifty drinks of whiskey a day. Old attaches of the court house who heard the testimony have expressed their belief of a verdict of acquittal for Taylor. The Right Reverend Daniel S. Tuttle, ranking Episcopal Bishop of America, will be the speaker at the Sunday afternoon Men's Meeting at the Pine Street Department Y. M. C. A., Sunday at 4 p.m., Bishop Tuttle has for a number of years been a speaker at the Sunday afternoon meetings at the "Y."

B. Vashon, principal of Delaware school will preside. Southern Democratic Senator Stumping North Against The Dyer Bill AKRON, Ohio, February 8—United States Senator, Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas assailed the Dyer Anti-lynching bill which passed the house at Washington last week as unconstitutional and characterized if as "absurd beyond necessity for argument," and as doing violence to every well known individual in the profession. In addressing 400 Ohio jurist and attorneys at the opening sessions of the midwinter gathering of the Ohio Bar Association here today. In his attack upon the Dyer bill, Senator Robinson said: "No progress will be made in overcoming the mob spirit by the enactment of unreasonable or unconstitutional statutes, for such efforts in the end must meet with failure. It is unreasonable to fine a county $10,900, as provided for in the Dyer bill, unless the authorities representing the county have failed in the performance of their duty. It is absurd beyond necessity for argument, to say that if five or more persons secretly assemble in one county, and under the Dyer bill such assemblage of five persons constitutes a mob, unlawfully seizes a prisoner to transport him through another county, with little danger of detection, that the unfondling citizens of the county through which the infurious victim may have been conducted, shall have their property levied upon and sold to pay a forfeiture for wrongdoing to which they have contributed peril by any wrongful getor by any default of private or public duty. tional.

LARGE CROWD WILL PASS AT PATRIOTIC IF REPORTED CELEBRATION FAVORABLY The Lincoln-Douglass-Roosevelt Affair Draws Party Leaders From Many Parts Of The State. Governor Hyde And Congressman L. C. Dyer Among Speakers. An unusually large crowd was present last Sunday at the Lincoln-Bourghous-Roosevelt celebration at Union Memorial Church, Lefflingham and Pine. Citizens from many parts of the State were present to pay tribute to the memory of the three great characters who have left their foot prints on the sands of time. From the time of the invocation, until the benediction, every minute was crowded with intense interest on the part of the participants on the promenade. Among the speakers were: Mayer Henry W. Kiel, speaker of the House of Representatives Hon. Samuel O'Fallon, Prof. Frank L. Williams, Representative Elmor, Dr. Chemctt-Lleut-Gov. Hirim Lloyd, Treasurer State Committee Hon. Walter S. Dickey, Hon. L. C. Dyer, Dr. T. J. Mopps, Atty. Homer G. Phillips and Governor Arthur M. Hyle. Music was furnished by Prof. Grady Tler's Quartette. The speakers varied in their talks and tributes in the saunthed dead than a discussion of party politics. The Mayor said he was pleased to be present and felt that he was among his friends. He joined heartily in the spirit of the occasion. Prof. Frank L. Williams seemed in his best. The audience was charmed by his eloquence, as he pointed out the good qualities possessed by Lincoln, Douglass and Roosevelt, which have made their names "immortal." Representative Elmer told of the service rendered by Waltham M. Moore as a representative from the Sixth District of New York, who did not believe a better man could have been selected, white or black. Speaker O'Fallon said that he was not particularly interested in the District represented by Mr. Moore but he could say that he had the highest regard for ability and diplomacy. Lleut. Governor Hiram Lloyd said he had been particularly interested in the education of the Negro youth and that Lincoln University was evidence of his success. When Walter S. Dickey arrose to speak, cries were heard. "Senator Dickey, he's our man," etc. Mr. Dickey paid a fitting tribute to the lives of the three great characters, Lincoln, Douglass and Roosevelt, and pleaded for more of their spirit among the leaders of today. "We are thankful for what we are meant to receive, pass the statement in Roosevelt's Rewards to the anti-lynching bill." He also praised Mr. Deer for his work in Congress, in behalf of the race. An enthusiastic demonstration was shown when Hon. L. C. Dyer echeered the church and cries of "Dyer! Dyer! Dyer!" care from many parts of the house. This being Mr. Dyer's first appearance in St. Louis, since the passage of the anti-lynching bill. The audience waited with open hearts to hear from their representative. Mr. Dyer said he regretment to state that some Republicans did not support the anti-lynching bill, but since it had passed the House of Representatives with such a large majority, there was no doubt. He handed an political bank the question of "State Rights." He said that the constitution of the United States guarantee to all citizens the equal protection of the law, and when the State failed it was the phar and inescapable duty of the government to provide that protection. Homer - G. Phillips compared the present day leaders with leaders like Lincoln, Douglass and Roosevelt. And said the great need of the hour was strong men who have the courage and backbone to carry the spirit of the men we commemorate at this hour. Governor Hyde, who was the last speaker, said that obviously this was not a Republican's victory. The Republican, Lincoln, Douglass, and Roosevelt were Republicans," said the Governor, "and we assembled here are proud of their lives and what they did for their country and for humanity." The Governor praised the Police Department of St Louis and Kansas City and promised honest elections in the coming primaries. He said if any of the Breckingridge group were coming election, the State's boarding house at Jefferson City was waiting for the guilty person. He said he believed in a square deal for all, but everything could not be done in a day. Attorney General Jesse W. Barrett, who could not be present sent Mr. Moore a telegram expressing his regrets. Those who are best informed declare that it was the most representative meeting they have ever seen. The people are loud in their praise of He presentative Waltruth Moore for arranging for such a celebration. If we get one hundred and twenty million of people each to mind his own business and make it be the most conceivable way to take care of the common good.* A Square Deal For Every Man AGES PRICE 5 CENTS ING BILL WILL PASS IF REPORTED FAVORABLY Only Five On Committee Of Sixteen Are From South. Senator Reed Of Missouri Is Member, Nation-Wide Movement To Urge Passage Of The Bill. The Association and others interested in the light urge every man and woman to write these Senators asking their support on the bill. The United States now faces the issue on the Anti-Lynching bill. United support from the same varied interests that backed the bill on the side will have tremendous effect. Every organization, every newspaper and every individual are asked to let the members of the Senate know how the people feel with reference to the importance of passing the measure. "Skech, or write to your Senators about 5" is the slogan of the day Senator McCormick, Republican, "Illinois, who introduce—a bill earlier in the Extra Session to appoint a commission on lynching informed The A. N. P. that he would request the withdrawal of his bill in order that the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill might have the right of way. MARCH 12 SELECTED AS MEMORIAL DAY IN HONOR OF COL.

It is "Rattles Sawing Through A Woman." So apparently realistic is the deception that one can hardly believe ones eyes when the woman interes alarms and smiles at the end, then sees the secure ropes by volunteers he from the audience. She is their placed, standing in a cathedral, the door of which is secured by three padlocks. "Rattles takes four 36 inch swords and passes them through the box until they protrude on the opposite side. The box is then laid on a crate, so the audience can see underneath. A sword is inserted full length in each end, then four more thrust through the top. Three swords are passed through the box. Are passed through the box. From all appearances these sharp instruments have divided the cabinet into small compartments of larger than a cigar box. Yet the woman informs the audienge that she is "still there." Then comes the sawing "Diamond Edge" "cross cut saw is produced and two men saw the box in two the saw dust-filled glass slides are removed, the box sections separated—and the woman is there alive and smiling. It is operating a sensation." There are three other acts on the bill. Clifford Ross opens the show with monologue, comic songs and economic dancing. Williams and Brooks, two men whose main force is dancing, are lively steppers and their movements run the entire curriculum from a rattling back through aerodynamic stunts to the artistic soft shoe variety. Springer and Bradford, a sister team, extracted from the "Smatter Set" Company are making a hit wit songs, dances and vampish actions. The girls are "good bookers" and well costumed.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.25 Three Months .75 Single Copy .05 Advertising Rates Furnished-On Request Entered as second-class matter April 5, 1912 at the Post Office at Saint Louis, Missouri, under the act of March 3, 1870 FROES CONFIRMATION. The appointment by President Harding, and the confirmation by the Senate of Arthur C. Froe of West Virginia, as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, will meet the general approval of the Colored people of the country. Of course, there will be a few, no doubt, who play the "If I can't have it you shant," game that will be disappointed. But that will be only a few and will be of that class who wield but a very little influence with the race. We suspect that as soon as "Link" Johnson heard of the appointment of Mr. Froe to the office that caused him so many "spells of high blood pressure" and "nervous break downs," was the first to greet him and shed a few crocodile tears, and said, "I secured your appointment." We are quite sure that he had the gall to do so provided he was able to walk after he heard the news. The speed with which the Senate confirmed Froe's appointment, shows that the failure of "Link" was not a matter of race prejudice, but it was because the man was unfit for the place. So far as the race is concerned, we should be glad that Mr. Froe received the confirmation for the office as Recorder of Deeds and not Henry Lincoln Johnson. We would suggest to Mr. Johnson, to make good his boast that he was able to make a living by practicing his profession as a lawyer. If he will do that and quit begging for a job at Washington, and quit "sponging" on his friends, perhaps he will be able to redeem himself in the eyes of some. But if he dosen't, then he should be condemned all the more. SOUTHERNERS SHOULD VOTE FOR ANTI-LYNCHING BILL It is frequently remarked that the "better class of white people of the South are opposed to lynching." Since the question has attracted national attention, we are beginning to doubt the more the statement, or we are bound to admit that we do not know who the best class of white people of the South are. We look to the church for this information, we think about one minister in a thousand ever raises his voice against this atrocious evil. If we look to the governors, we would find only two who have taken a stand against mob violence. If we look among the lawmakers, we fail to find one of sufficient courage; enough backbone; possessing necessary partiotism and love for their country, to speak against lynching. In the face of these facts, we wonder again, who are the better class of white folks of the South? We are thinking of the anti-lynching bill which is now before the Senate Committee. We have noted that not one of those Southern solons who profess that they are opposed to lynching voted for the House Bill No. 13, which passed the House of Representatives January 26. They voted against the Bill to the man. And why? The Southern Senators of the present Congress owe it to their several States to support and vote for the Anti-lynching Bill as a matter of patriotism, and to show to the world that there are those of the South who are big enough to vote for right and justice to prevail in the land. It has been said that the Anti-lynching Bill is aimed at the South, and we regret to say that some have accepted it as such. But the proper thing for the Southern Senators to do is to join heartily with the Senators from New York, Illinois, Ohio and other Northern States and help to put the bill over. Such a step would be in the right direction. AN APOLLOYY MR. BARRETT In an issue of the Argus of February 3, the following editorial appeared: It is reported that Athenian General, Hon. Jesse W. Barrett will be one of the speakers at the Lincoln Donglass- Roosevelt Celebration at Union Memorial Church February 12th. We hope he will find time to deviate from his subject long enough to explain why he has taken no action against the sheriff at Bowling Green who allowed Roy Hammond to be taken from him and lynched. It will be remembered that Mr. Barrett said he would take action against Sheriff Moore, if he had one affidavit from a witness to the lynching charging Moore with neglect of duty. We understand that the local branch N. A. A. C. P. has furnished said affidavits, and that Mr. Barrett has had them in his possession for about four months. Will you please explain, Mr. Barrett?" In explaining his reason why actions had not been taken in the above named case, Mr. Eacrett says the allidavit, referred to had not been received at his office. The editor of this paper knew that the allidavits had been secured in the matter and had been placed in the hands of the local branch. N.-A.-A. C. P., and we had understood that they had been filled with the Attorney General about four months ago. The responsibility is not upon you, Mr. Barrett, but upon the local branch, N. A. A. C. P. We hereby apologize to you, Mr. Barrett. It was an error of the head and not of the heart. Have you joined the local-branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? If you have not, then what have you done towards helping to fight lynchism, disfranchisement, proscription, segregation, and infact all kinds of Deviltry which emanates from race prejudice. Let us quit for a season, crossing and abusing everybody who does not think-as we do in politics. If you are worthy, you are most likely to get all the credit and honor due you for the unselfish service you have rendered. Attorney General Hon. Jesse W. Barrett still maintains that he will act in the Bowling Green lynching case if furnished with the affidavits showing neglect of duty on the part of Sheriff Moore — N. A. A. C. P. get busy. This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo. W. Buckner Who is Mahatma Gandhi? Mahatma Gandhi is the most powerful man of India today! He is the leader of 400,000,000 natives" in the country of the once famous Lord, Clive. Omnipotent England who can proudly say that the sun never sets on her soil, yet dare not attempt to hurt Gandhi. "Born of a wealthy family, he has had excellent educational advantages. He knows the English people well, having studied at Oxford University. It was there he developed an assertion which gradually unfolded, upon his return to India. He has now developed an understanding of the principle is non-cooperation with, and resistance against, English rule. Students of Ghana say that his religion is the nearest approach to that taught by Christ. The natives of India, although they have done violence at times, are gradually learning the effectiveness of breaking down the Englands refusing to cooperate and make pronouncements and the English government. It was Gwandis' leadership that made the recent visit of the Prince of Wales to India a complete maso. Is there anything in the carrier and device that can then ignore helping in the emergency? THE RED CRDSS It may prove interesting to those of us who are endeavoring to get a squirrel useful for all people to learn from time to time. We can use these suggestions toward certain racial groups. For three years the Red Cross has disminted in the use of its funds for public health. It is a known fact that it is helping to maintain two large clinics for white, school children which in refuses to give any support to those in need of blood or blooded people. As we see it, this is essential because the Red Cross in its annual appeal, "Give of heart and a dollar," accepts those dollars from any one irrespective of race or color. While we must not discount the good work which it has done among Negroes during and following the war and in times of war, never less, it is but right to call the contribution to this grave injustice. The Red Cross is fading to its duty by the 1000 colored school children. Editorial Correspondence On The Appointment Of Arthur G. Froe, Recorder Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 15. "President Harding is reaching political decisions." This time it is quoted, for it was said before. Arthur G. Freep of West Virginia has been minister for the President for key order of Deals. The President is praised for this courage, in naming a member of the group for the position, but he is being criticized for not naming a man of national reputation. "Who is Arthur Freep?" That question is being asked on all sides. From all sides, Mr. Freep is a very esteemed gentleman. He is a successful lawyer and a politician of nuance, in his "Home section," but is not known nationally. President Harding, it begins, finds it most difficult to do a really popular thing for the group. The President is fully informed on the crusade that has been launched against him, but hesits his motives are misunderstood, and that latter or all will be well. There has never been a President who is, better informed on current racial problems. As with all subjects, the President delivers into information on the subject personally; he talks with people concisely and reads news articles and authorities in our racial newspapers, furnished film from an unbiased source. The President reads the favorable and the unfavorable comments. Contention of Leadership The Presidential most recent a situation that is dramatic and breath taking in the matter of leadership. Has the Administration decided to who track the generally accepted leadership among Colorful Americans is new blood being looked for or shaken the opinions of white, political leader be the "court of last resort" in the matter of Negro appointments. Regardless of shafts of criticism here and there it is a well-known fact that the Church Johnson Howard Colson Gottlieb combination. Entered in Washington, has been the one to which the majority of the racial national political factors have looked for songs and guidance. They have functioned both wisely and well in many respects, but in some of the big stuff. I must be admitted, they have had miserable relations. The "state," gotch together immediately following the inauguration in March, has been broken in Smithers sense. Church of course desired no offer; has actually turned down offers and has given most unacceptably of time and money to "help the cause." Johnson actually did not want a job but was urged to stand, new unfortunately, after his name had been sent to the Senate by the President. Howard landed, a赞助ed, dignified place, but Cohen failed, and Cottrell is helped. Our Greatest Fault. The Crisis recently published the opinions of three of our leading men as to the greatest fault of the race. Is it not possible that some of our leading men have overlooked the one big difference. The majority of our people are working, saving and hoping for better days. Comparatively few of us are really working and thinking and doing what we think is best to bring about bettered conditions for the whole race. Unfortunately many of those few are working and thinking and planning more for purely personal reasons than for the professed purely racial reasons. Until we have unselfish leadership we will not get far. The Garvey-Pliekens Debate When will Negro leaders learn they can't afford to fuss with one another, Mr. Garvey, if appears, has started on the road to ruin all the good he has done. Open minded of fathers are willing *g* to record him all the press tide due him but when he begins costing absurd immuno and making cowardly charges he is killing the interest of thinking men. Even colored fck are too intelligent to continue following a man who attempts to hold himself up by fearing down others. We had hoped Mr. Garvey was a bigger man than that. *Our Fight.* Mr. Wetherler Porter's attack on the N. A. A. C. B. has received another echo. It is just possible that Mr. Porter is both right and wrong. He contends that the place to fight for the race is where the race is being badly used. The contention is right but it is also true that some members of the race must be big enough to attack our evils on a larger scale than possible in the south alone. We are part of a nation and not just part of one section of a nation. Southern Editors No class of colored men are the greater credit and consideration than those southern colored newspaper editors who are fighting our battles where the war wages hardest. They are an absolutely necessary part of our progress program. A colored man capable of denouncing the evils from which we suffer and remaining in the south to do it and at the same time able to make a living, or continue living, while doing it has by his work proven himself to be the finest metal that has been forged in the first of our oppression. He does not need however, to demand that all other able men do likewise. There are other battle grounds and other men needed to man them. W can afford our criminals they are a fundamental part of present day civilization; our traduers paranormalists, its prophets and "lower classes" are all evilists which the goal ones can afford but we can not afford to have best brains and men of the greatest energy in the race constantly bickering and squabbling and wrangling for every iota of personal glory possible. There is enough glory for every Negro leader capable of honesty earring it.

LEAGUE CLUB The Missouri Negro Republican League Club met Monday night Feb. 13, 2014, to meet their headquarters 3434 Market Street. "On recommendation of the Board of Directors the Club adopted a resolution stating their continued adherence to the policy of one big central city-wide political organization, and that in the future they would look with disfavor upon amphibious political organizations just before the election clubs and inundated the Missouri Negro Republican League Club feels that those things are always harmful to our race group and never do in any good. Also upon recommendation of the Board of Directors the Club resolved that they would not support any Negro at St. Louis who is not a member of the Club. The Club feels that as their doors are always open to every new visitor, they are actively for our group that any Negro citizen who may be seeking political favor and is not willing to help the Club in their activities is unworthy of their support.

Let us nth go back, the work's not hard—Where's The Paramount Boys Spring Dance, Pythian Hall, March 15 Music by 'Gregory' Jazzers COURT DECISION LONE STAR CASE Continued From Page One mony Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, which purported to be a reorganization of the said United Grand Chapter, and officers of the same were elected, who purported to be regularly elected officers thereof, and a Constitution adopted, which purported to take the place of the Constitution and By-Laws of the said United Grand Chapter, and all of which proceedings were represented to have the effect of acquiring with the said United-Grand Chapter, and its Constitution and By-Laws, and was shown that only a few of the members took part in the above proceedings at this joint meeting and none of the defendants now holding active offices in said Long Star Chapter No. 2, or in possession of any of the property or books involved. To further sub-anticipate the latter claim, he plains undertook to show that all of the defendants had, by their actions in the meetings of the Local Chapter, affiliated with the said Harmony, with drawn their Membership from United Grand Chapter. This, however, as above stated, was disputed directly by all the defendants who testified. It was also undertaken by platin-tiffs to show, in the above connection, that the defendants refused admittance to said Lottie J. Gamble, Grand Mastron aforesaid, to the regular December meeting of the said Lone Star Chapter No. 2. This chase was not clearly substantiated, the evidence not showing that the person refusing admittance to the said Lottie J. Gamble was one in authority so as to bind the defendants. It was shown by the defendants that he November and December 1921 meetings of the said Local Chapter were held under the Constitution and By-Laws of the said United Grand Chapter, and of the said Lone Star Chapter. Number Two; that the regularly elected officers of the said Lone Star Chapter Number Two, parties in which he son inducted the same, and filled all the officers, and so far as the evidence shows, officers performed all of their official duties as such, as far as the confession at those meetings permitted. The evidence showed that the plaintiffs except Lotte J. Gamble, at the December 1924 meeting of the said Local Chapter, assuming that the defendant officers of said Local Chapter had withdrawn from the United Grand Chapter, and had become affiliated with the said Harmony Grand Chapter, withdrew from said meetings, and immediately undertook, with Lotte J. Gamble, and under Special Dispensation from her, to hold an election officers in the hallway of the building, where the long meeting had just been held. This was one irregularly and not in compliance with Constitution, by Tweets, and customs of said Local Chapter, and the said United Grand Chapter, assuming, as we must underst the evidence, that the plaintiffs did not constitute all of the Members of the said Lone Star Chapter Number Two. The evidence further shows that regular officers of the said Lone Star Chapter Number Two have been elected for the current year and are all parties defendant herein; that they have complied with all the requirements incident to their offices, and are responsible for, and are performing the functions of their respective offices. In view of the evidence, as outlined above, it is apparent that there is a need to investigate as to the issues herein involved that the rights of the rotators are not denied and complete, and that in the present status of the facts, the order prayed for herein cannot be issued. Wherefore, the Peremptory Writ of Maridamus herein is denied and the cost of this proceeding taxed to the Plaintiffs.

Laususe of Manhattan From one who has been unplugged critically after nearly four years and a half, proprietor of the Manhattan Cafe, Newstead and Finney Aves. I want to say for I know of what I speak, how hard it is for a colored man to please his own people. I opened the Manhattan October 3, 1917, to run as a first class place, for first class colored people, serving everything and in the same high class style, or the big white cafes, at from one half to one third the price, the whites had pay as much if not more for my stock than for my expenses. My expenses were heavy. Our first class people did not support the play, they would come in about every six months, expecting me to keep my doors opened for then alone, and then want two and three dollar suppers served for one dollar. If I refuse to take what they wanted to pay, I heard there bimmers knocking the next day. I have been more than fair for my people, for every one did not allow my first two years, the first class people to sit down and eat and drink, that I did not allow them to dance, consequently few felt valued, the place. The first class colored people did not count, so all fair minded people can see I was forced to serve people. I had my money invested in the place and can't see where I was wrong, in not letting our first class people sit for it, but taking their good advice and not serve white people yet they did not come themselves. They can't get in their cafe". That is true the white man does not need us in his place. Let our first class people support the colored cafe and not stay at home and criticize, or when they do come, not expect a Statist Hotel service on a corner lunch stand price, and then a first class place might exist, for our people alone. Something that as yet to be done in St. Louis. I never heard any one criticize our hired Physicians, Druggist, Barbers or any other colored business, for treating me. I regret to say that I have made the mistake of letting many of those who now criticize me, get in debt to me, for I am hobbling tabs and bad checks amounting to more than $2,500. While expenses are [twice as much as before prohibition, there is - less than one-third of] money spent. While I know and realize that types are hard, and so many are out of work. It is true they expected me to pay musicians, entertainers and all other expenses on empty tables. If could not be done. Robt. Lauguse, Mgr. Manhattan Cafe, Newstead and Flinney.

See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper RACES MUST CO-OPERATE TO MAKE SUCCESS Dr. Anson P. Stokes Speaks At Hampton On Human Improvability BY WIN ABBEY ACK HAMITON, Va., FEB 8—That suspicion and lack of confidence between races, breed hatred, retrogression and war; that confidence and faith breed friendship, progress and achievement; that the Hampton Institute Founder's Day address which was recently delivered by the Rev. Dr. Anson Phelpa Stokes of New York, former secretary of Yale University, secretary of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, and well-known author of religions and historical pamphlets and books, to a large and appreciative audience of white and colored citizens that assembled in Oyden Hall to pay tribute to the contribution which General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute in 1808 and served as its principal until his death in 1833, had wisely made not only a contribution to education in the United States, but also education throughout the world. "Huhan Improvability under the Influence of Education, Work, and Religion" was Doctor Stokes' theme. Dr. James E. Gregg, in introducing Doctor Stokes, referred to the distinguished visitor as a life-long friend of Hampton Institute, as a scholar and written as a discerning philanthropist, and at a great administrative success, he has generously served bothers and won well-motivated honor. Need of Racial Understanding. "The white man," said Doctor Stokes, "basing his faith on the wonderful progress of the black man during three centuries, must follow his own best leaders in the South in showing more faith in the improvability of the Negro. Similarly the black man must increase his faith in the improvability of the average white man's attitude toward his own problems and needs, basing his faith on the slowly but steadily growing fairness of the white man towards him, and especially the advocacy of his rights to equal treatment before the law by that far-sighted and increasing group of Southerners such as Curry, Meyler, Mitchell, Dillard, Alderman, Jackson Davis, Weatherford, Eagan, Alexander, and Blackett, cooperating with the sympathetic Northerners such as McKenzie, McKenzie, Hubbard, Ware and Greg, and supported more and more by the independent press of the South. There will of course, be differences of honest opinion, both as to what is possible and desirable; there will be no lack of honest criticism; the debate will not cease, but let the whole discussion of inter-racial matters be carried on, in the hopeful spirit of good will. Evidence of Negro Progress "That the Negro in jpst over built a century should be 12,000 to $50,000 of farms operated from 20,000 to 1,000,000, of businesses conducted from 2,100 to 600 of literacy from 10 to 80 per cent, of teachers from 600 to 43,000, of voluntary contributions to education from $80,000 to $25,000, of Sunday publics from 50,000 to 2,250,000 of church property from $1,500,000 to $100,000,000—this is an extraordinary record full of reassurance to those who like to believe in human improvability. "During this difficult period of readiness the Negro has maintained his religious faith, increased his thrift, improved his capacity as a skilled workman, developed self-respecting Christian homes, and where education and opportunities have been suitable and adequate strengthened his character and his capacity for the wise leadership of his own people. "The Negro's actual progress in the past is my ground for faith in his still greater progress in the future—especially now that inter-racial斗争 is in earnest and both issues in nearly a thousand localities are meeting regularly throughout this great Southland to discuss frankly specifically local problems of race relationships. This is indeed a harbinger of promise." "Armstrong's Faith Is Justified" "What makes General Armstrong's connection, with Hampton unique is that here for the first time education work, and religion, broadened and vitalized, were brought together in a large development of backward races." Armstrong believed in the improvability of the Negro and the Indian under the three great forces of education, work and religion, and the experience of fifty years has justified his faith. The school has modified and must continue time in time, but these foundation principals are fundamental and, fortunately, adjustable to all needs." Designed To Manufacture Patented Shoe Protector And Organize Chain of Repair Shops In This City. THE RAILWAY IS A MACHINE-WORKED INDUSTRY. IT IS USED TO CONSTRUCT AND maintain railway tracks, bridges, and other railway structures. The railway is an important transportation system that connects cities and regions, facilitating the movement of people and goods. The railway is also a vital source of employment and economic activity. Nature of Enterprise It is a well known fact that an enterprise when properly managed, has the best chance of success if the products it proposes to handle are classed among the necessities of life. Certainly among these shoes and the necessities designed to "improve or lengthen the wearing qualities of footwear. In city such as St. Louis, one of the largest long and shoe centers, boosting a colored population of 70,683 people, there are 34 a natural center for such an enterprise. Very little has been done in the past to protect the shoe against hard wear and rough usage; in fact the only invention of note that has been generally used is the rubber overshoe which is simply a protection from the elements—rain, snow and the like. Thousands of men are engaged in the industries and other work in the city of St. Louis whose shoes receive the worst kind of punishment for instance the workers in foundries, parking plants, construction wirk, chauffeurs, mechanics and the like. A device therefore, which would through protection, add years of life to the shoe and at the same time interfere in no way with the comfort of the warmer, would have real merit. Plan of Organization The Sanipal Shoe Manufacturing Company is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Missouri with a capital stock of $0,000. one half of which is fully paid in. There are ten thousand shares each of a per value of $3.00. It is the purpose of the organization to engage in the following activities: 1. To control and operate a shoe repair shop now located at 180th South Compton Avenue, known as the Rosewood Retail Shop and under the management of Walter P. May, a practiced shoemaker and inventor of the Sandal Shoe. 2. To manufacture and sell the SANDAL SHOE, the patent rights to which are owned and controlled by the corporation. 3. To establish and operate branch repair shops throughout the city of St. Louis and to take over other shops. 4. To establish and operate a retail shoe store in the city of St. Louis. 5. To later establish and operate in the city of St. Louis a factory for the manufacture of shoes. Mr. May when interviewed, by a reporter said: 'The operation of shoe repair shops is a profitable undertaking. Already there are over 20 such shops operated by colored men, but it has never been possible to take advantage of the economies offered through large scale production,' because of the small investment in labor and time saving machinery. In the establishment of a chain of such shops it will be possible to have the most improved machinery at the central branch and the equipment of the other shops may thereby be reduced to a minimum. In the shop now owned by the company, men can be trained to fill the positions of managers of the branch stages. At short time there are 4 such shops in training and the footwear is paying for their instruction. In taking over shops in operation, it will be possible to pay the owners salaries equal to their present profits, and through the economies of large scale production and advertising make them a profitable case of the company. The need for a retail shop store operated by colored men in the city of St. Louis is self-existent. From the pulpit, from the press, from business men, generally has come the suggestion that we ought to have such a store. Several such stories are now being operated profitfully in the colored districts by white men, and the fact of their existence is evidence of their success financially. The St. Louis Argus THE AMERICAN WOODMEN TO GIVE AWAY AN AUTOMOBILE signed by Mr. Mag. for the purpose of protecting and a bilingual years of life to the shoes of those men who are engaged in the work in the various industries which require such protection. This suitability is made by step on over the ordinary shoes and has a sole which will stand the hard wear experienced by men working in the packing plants, the farmries as machines, as chaffeurs and the like. The special process in making this shoe renders it naturally flexible giving perfect freedom of movement to the wearer, but it is designed so as to allow no moisture to remain between it and the shoe. A test of this protective under the most severe conditions show they will last for a period of eighteen months or more. They can be manufactured on a large scale so as to make a substantial profit for the company and one of the purposes of this sale of stock is to provide special machinery for the manufacture of the device. This is an opportunity for the man investment in a concern which will or woman who wants to make a small start outcompiled to do small business, and which has every chance of real success. Mr. W. P. May, the inventor, is president of the company and he is being assisted in his plans of organizations by Mr. Jos. H. R. Erosus. The temporary office is located at 1406 South Compton, and may request for information should be addressed to that number. The officers of the company are W. P. May, President, R. B. May, Secretary, Shadie Andrews Treasurer. Meetings of the stockholders and interested parties are held every Tuesday evening at eight o'clock at Mr. May's residence, 1406 South Compton and any one who wishes to know something of the organization is invited to attend these meetings. It is safe to say that with the plans as mapped out for the Sandal Shoe Manufacturing Company an investment should return from 10 to 15 per cent the first year of operation. Stock may be purchased either for cash or on the installment, plan, and there is opportunity afforded for a limited number of salesmen who wish to put this issue before the public. AGUINALDO ENTERS ; PHILIPINE POLITICS Associated Negro Press MANILA, P. I. Feb. 15, 1940. Emilio Aguinaldo is recovering insular politics after more than twenty years of incarment. He will assume the presidency of the new Lateral Party, uniting with Manuel Quezon to split the old Nacionalista party, which up to the present time has been dismembered and in control of the insular patronage. It is the purpose of the new party to attempt to owe from leadership Sergei Osmane, political dean of the islands, and to carry on an active campaign of appeal to Washington for independence. Hard training makes for easier going. If any fool could attain success without effort, success would not be worth attaining. Remember that when things seem to go wrong. Pickens And Garvey A REQUEST OF MARCUS GARVEY By Wm. Pickens. For The Associated Negro Press, Marcus Garvey, President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was arrested and charged by the United States with using the mails to degrade people. The very first thought Amelia Garvey gave to Amelia Garvey not to rebel in the prosecution of Garvey, and to remind them that white Government officials would not prosecute Garvey with the unmixed notice of protecting Negros against fraud. We had already pointed an editor-in-chief, on which we meant to enlarge a bit, when our attention was arrested by several remarkable statements, from the maudit and pen of Marcia Garvey, referring directly to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People an organization well known to the writer. It was necessary for Mr. Garvey to make a statement to his followers about his arrest and difficult life, and it was proper speech, as he does in the Negro World of January 21, 1922. And after reading on page 1 a declaration that he "likes a clean fight, an open fight, an honorable fight," we were surprised to read from his speech on page 5 these words: "All the troubles we have had on our ships have been caused because men were paid to make this trouble or certain organizations calling them. Neighmen Advancement Associations, They paid men to dismantle our machinery and otherwise damage it so far as to bring about the downfall of the movement." If we had read this in some other paper, we should want to write, and ask the editor why he listed Marcus Garvey. But since we read it in Garvey's own paper, we have to request that Marcus Garvey himself tell us, whether he has been misled or whether he is being. He cannot be joking, for the subject matter is too serious, highly charges crimes against an organization, and we know he well, has not a num in it of a low enourage type to do the thing charged; to hire criminals to commit sabotage against anybody's property. Who is the liar? That is the only question before the house and the only man that can answer it is Marcus Garvey. There will be no question anywhere among intelligent Colored folks, that the charge is a lie, but it is too much for the officers of that organization to keep quiet about. Some things can be ignored but not a thing like this. Of course Mr. Garvey does not say, "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," but he knows that you know that in this country there are no other "organizations calling themselves Negro Advancement Associations." And if he means that you know that he is an American name it would be worse, still, for it would be cowardiness to crime, and show that the author of it does not really like a "clean fight, an open fight, an honorable fight." It is neither clean open nor honorable to do legal responsibility for slander by using the popular rather than the corporate name of the institution slandered. The N. A. A. C. P., as an organization, has not taken a position on Garvey. "individuals of the organization have expressed themselves. And it is not fair to hold the Association responsible when individual members or officers speak disapproximately of him, and not give the Association credit; when other individual members or officers speak sympathetically of it, they exemplary conduct. Publicity may short article of adverse criticism on Garvey, and the Field Secretary wrote two long articles of sympathetic appreciation of the Garvey Movement. If the N. A. A. C. P. could be charged with fighting in the former instance it could be charged with favoring him in the latter. And in fact some people opposed to Garveyism did charge the Association with almost endorsing it, because of this friendly individual opinion of the Field Secretary. If there be any conspiracy in the N. A. A. C. P. in reference to the Universal degree improvement Association, we should take? We are so well acquainted with the "Advancement Association" that if there were any conspiracy at all, even if we were not in it, we would about it. And that is why we request Marens Gipierre—whom we know to be brave selfless, without fear or fear where the lie is originaled and who the liar is. Among the men called Negro leaders William Pickens is one whom I hold in high regard because I believe him to possess an honest intention toward his The Plan Of The Future Compton Hill Baptist Church Rev. H. Howell Harris, Pastor. L Our pastor. Rev. H. Howell Harris, has been with us three years in April. The church is now arranging its Anniversary celebration for the Second Sunday when it will hold a special rally, and an Anniversary banquet, in honor of our pastor. It has been a three years of unusual success in the history of the Church both in finance, and spiritually. There has been a steady growth in membership and prosperity. We have greatly improved our house, of worship, and have now adopted plans specifications for a new 'Compton Hill Baptist Church. Our pastor is full of the Missionary spirit, full of charity and broad of vision. We never gave money to missions, both State and Foreign missions, as we do now, fifty and a hundred dollars at the time, and still we are never broke. We are giving more than we ever gave, and yet always have money in our treasure. We help everybody in the family to us in the missions of the church, the blessings, come more and more. Hard gamblers and little children are being converted. The church has not been for many long past years in such a state of spiritual revival. If you want a blessing come of Compton Hill, you will surely hear a sermon that will do your soul good. Our pastor is a great and tender shepherd, a great preacher, and mentor, a great lover of little children, with respect, and sympathy for old folks. And as a financier he has no equal. The Church is growing Life is a conflict of wits, and the man who knows his opponent and his characteristics is the more fortunate of the two, and I think I do know the opponent Association, because Association, because it is my duty to know men and to analyze them especially if they are competitors in any way. My reference to the machinations of certain "Advancement Associations was well intended. I for one, do not intend any harm to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, because I believe that the Association can be managed in a way to be of real benefit to the Negro Race, but I would state that there are men in certain Advancement Associations, who are more proud, leaders, who have stooped and are still stooping to the use of the lowest methods in their endeavor to suppress, and put out of business, if possible, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its Auxiliary corporations." Mr. Pickens is probably too honest to understand meanness in others, but good generalship means a complete understanding of the good and bad in human nature, thus I do not apologize more and more unanimous in its support and love for him. Christmas we gave our pastor a beautiful gold watch as a token of our appreciation. Then what is more he has a beautiful model Christian wife, everybody loves Mrs. Harris. She is the ideal minister's wife and a galeous loving Christian character. She takes part in every thing that goes on in the Church from the kitchen to the Choir, and is always on hand with a smile and welcome for everybody. "Our pastor also has too beautiful accomplished daughter Misses. Ruth is the public schools of the city bill the week, and are on hand always, at the Church in the Sunday School, and the Choir to assist their father in church work on Sunday. The Lord has blessed our pastor with a model Christian family. "Compton Hill is blessed, we are all blessed, and the good work is still going on. Once we were in debt, and discouraged; now we are prosperous and full of hope and joy. God has given us a great good man with a beautiful Christian family. J. A. Carter, Chairman; P. A. Winston, Secretary; Rev. S. Payne Bishop A. J. Carey, presiding Bishop of the A. M. E. Church in Tennessee and Kentucky, will preach at St. Paul Chapel Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. The public is invited to hear this great pulpit orator. for the effort at least I do make, in understanding certain people who have survived and doing things under cover against the movement I represent. I am glad that that Mr. Pickens, knows that the Director of Publicity of his Association, the National Association for the Attendance of Colorful People, has written vicious against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and me. If he would go a little further, he would find out also that his Editor has also put down Garvey and the Black Star Line in the February issue of the Black Star Line, a "hility" for the Negro race for the present year, and that with a full knowledge of all that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and Garvey have done for the uplift of the Race, whilst at the same time the Honorable Editor who no doubt is not of a "low down" type, has put himself down on the credit side of the Race for 1822, with the thing known as the Pan-African Congress which Garvey imply is the agency of controlling and making control of all Africa by decelerating the New Negro who has through the leadership of the Universal, Negro Improvement Association, made up in his mind that Pan-Africa shall mean all black, and not all white. I trust my friend Mr. Pickens will THE TRADE MAKER Classed As "Lily Whitess," Led By / Slemp Of Virginia, Opposed Anti Lynching Bill "What will the United States Senate do to the Anti-lynching bill?" That question is uppermost in the minds of the people everywhere. President Harding, it is firmly believed, will quickly sign the great national measure calculated to stop America's greatest evil — Lynching. But what will the United States Senate do? That is the big question. The Anti-lynching Bill, is known as an "Administration measure." That is to say, it is a bill backed by the President and should have the unqualified support of the entire party organization. In a strong editorial endorsing the bill, The Washington Post, an Administration newspaper, declares that the Republican party is carrying out its platform pledge to the people in passing the Anti-lynching bill. Action on lynching was a part of the platform of 1909, out threat, and without fear, and steady in the faith of right and justice, 15,000,000 Colored Americans turn their eyes to the United States Senate to see what action will take place there. There is reason to believe that the Senate will develop a spirit of determination on the measure that will mean definite action. Democrats on the Senate have said that the tactics and accusations, declared that the bill is designed for political effect. There need be no argument on that score. Republicans throughout the country would inquestion play into the hands of folly if they failed to take the Senate and reciprocate the importance and significance of the measure. Republicans cannot help but knowing quite fully that the failure, to pass the Anti-lynching law would be the most disastrous political blunder of a decade. Colored Americans thrust out the country, many of them already lost in faith for Republican sincerity, would absolutely throw up their hands in disgust and despair. Northern Democrats, of the type of those who vote in support of the bill, would point the finger at the president, who is justly held at Colored citizens who vote the Republican ticket. **Argument Would Fall** All argument would fail; all excuses would be as nothing. The thing now being about is that the bill may be talked to death by Democratic filibustering. There is, as is generally known, a rule in the Senate on unlimited debate. It is a rule that invoked by the opposite party when there is a determination to "stop the show." Colored citizens of the country are saying that the bill will not be accepted as an excuse for failure to pass the bill. "A way must be found or one made." Great credit is being given Republican leaders on the House side, including such stalwart Congressmen as Mondell, the leader; Volstead, whose committee handled the bill; Dye; after whom the bill is named; Burdon of Montpelier, Madison, who insisted that all appropriation bills of vast importance, be set aside until the Affirmthing bill was acted upon, and a number of others. Congressman Burke Cookap and Griffin of New York, Democrats, threw a bomb shell into the Democrats, when they spoke in favor of the bill. Congressman Griffin declared that the bill would be used to that they can inflict their ideas of political justification on the people of the North. On The 'Black List' Sorenteen Republicans on the "Black List." Chief of this number is Bascom Slemp, of Virginia. He seemed heartily in sympathy with the Democrats on the bill, sat on their side, and voted with them constantly. Slemp voted to recommit the bill, which was voted against killing Troop and in the final vote, voted against the measure. Slemp is charged with being "Father of the Lily White movement," in the Republican party and is marked for slaughter by Colored Republicans in the November election. pay a little more attention to the psychology, the ways and manners of men as well as Organizations. When he does that, he will be better informed and will more readily understand what is meant by my stating that "all the trouble we have had on our ships has been caused because men were paid to make the terrible necessary to combat the machines themselves. Men to dismantle our machinery and Advancement Associations. They paid otherwise damage it, so as to bring about the downfall of the movement." WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 15.—Bank profiteers who borrow money from Federal reserve banks at 5 per cent and extort 10 or 12 per cent in interest rates from farmers, are to be blacklisted. Administration officials declared. Drastic action is to follow the President's expose of the methods of some bankers in the farming regions. Officials of the War Finance Corporation were conducting searching inquiry to day to uncertain to what extent bankers or other borrowers of Government funds may have employed them to hold up the farmers or other agriculturists in unlawful money. This is a common practice in the South where financing farm operations in many cases takes mist of the proceeds. Other Government agencies also were engaged in a bung for the prestite banker, whether he may be and regardless of his financial connections or political influence. There is no foundation for business brave and audacious, and without them are trapped in the business trap. rere -R.MLC GREEN btw poones ~ Funeral Director'and Embalmer - pudnes et BASE oe Coad RN Automebiles For Al ee Tl A.

COMMITTEE TAKES UP NEGRO FARM PROBLEMS WITH PRES. HARDING The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. February S—President Harding cordially reckened and granted a lengthy conference to the committee of the National Agricultural Conference of Negro Farm Workers, headed by Bk. W. S. Southworth, the other members of the committee being Prof. B. F. Hubert, head of the farming arteses at Daukegan Institute, R. W. Westherby, the leading Colored farmer of South Carolina, and Chas, R. Hall of Illinois, expert statistician and an authority on Negro farm ownership and tenancy in the U. S. Census Bureau. The following petition was presented: We, the committees of the National Agricultural Conference on Negro Farm Problems, wish to thank you for your deep interest in Agricultural conditions throughout the country, so ably shown in your splendid address at the opening of the drive National Agricultural Hall, which highly commend the Honourable Secretary, Mr. Wallace, and his able able go-worker, Dr. H. C. Taylor whose gymnastic knowledge of the situation as it preales to Negro farmer, is generally recognized and appreciated. As representativeness of nearly one million farm operators, who operate more than forty-one million acres of land valued in excess of two and one quarter-billion dollars, we wish to call your attention to some of the problems that lead to retard the economic and social progress of these people and those who are dependent upon them. (1) We need more generous Federal support of our agricultural industry of their activities, as they constitute the principal sources for an intelligent agricultural leadership. (2) There should be more adequate distribution of the Federal funds that are allocated to the different states under the Smith-Lever and the Smith-Hughes acts so that Negro farmers may receive a greater benefit, to the end that we may have a larger number of well trained men and women to advise and to work $_{1}$ the rural districts. This is especially necessary because of the farming population that has less advantage than most of the other farming groups. (3) Due to the fact that slightly more than seventy-five per cent of the Negro farmers are in the tenant class, we feel that an intensive and sympathetic study should be made of the conditions peculiar to this form of land tenure. (4) There is a splendid need for more favorable application of the Federal Farm Loan Act in the relation to Colored Farmers. We are in dire need of the direct financial assistance that can be obtained through little helpful sources. (5) Honorable Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, shared enough time from the hour office to accommodate this delegation in person to led White House and lead his official as well as personal influence to their cause. Colored Man Accused But People Not Frightened, Ku Klux Playing "Boggle Man", Jeered by Crowds. Special correspondent, St. Louis Argus BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb 9- Eight horribly mutilate bodies, four dead and two seriously wounded are the tell of axe murders which have occurred at this place recently. In all cases but one the victims have been Italians and the most important members of the mob are being killed. The evidence similar to that which permitted in the deaths of several members of the Italian colony at New Orleans last summer following the arrests there by members of an Italian secret society in connection with a bank robbery at that place. As in every case of crime which arouses the community, members of the Klu Klux Klan and other white organizations have attempted to sway public opinion to the belief that colored persons have committed the crimes. As a result of this activity officers of the law have warned the public against hysteria, the colored citizens have been taking, and there is a growing concern that a group of colored people and preparation to meet whatever situation, the lawless white element may choose to bring about. The Ku Klux Show The Klan staged one of their opera bouffe shows through the colored section of the city since the axe murders began. Very little comment beyond quiet smiles was made by colored people. While the sheet garbed paraders were rushing the corner of the city, a few many colored people amongst the colored people who always are on this corner were heard to laugh out loud and one colored sister was heard to say: "Who do think dery gonna scare." Many Negroes who in former crisis have assisted the officers of the law have refused to lead any assistance in the present case and one prominent colored man has stated that so far, the KKK has not colored the city administration the administration will have to get along without any colored bead whatever.

It is further reported that Loreon is suf- fered by a police officer, which it is almost certain has unbalanced his misdeeds. A student of mass psychology familiar with the reaction of our people in the past to the activities of persons working for feeling against them would be surprised to note the firm preparation and thoughtful attitudes of all classes in the present crisis. It is not surprising if the KKK is successful in its effort to start something there will be an increase in the white population of "some, unknown land." The white population, generally, does not appear to be aware of the feeling of preparation which is going on amongst us. R. O. T. C. DIVISION FOR WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY WILBERFORCE, Ohio, Feb. 6. — Word has been, received by President J. A. Gregg of Wilberforce-University from the Adjutant General's office that Senior and Junior divisions of the Officers Training Corps, are to be established at the University, beginning with the next school year. On assuming the presidency of Wilberforce, Dr. Gregg found that these divisions had been discontinued, although the Military Department, established in 1868 is still active, with Major J. E. Green, U. S. A. In command, assisted by Sergeants Anwes and Buttles, both of the Regular Army. Dr. Gregg began at once to plan for the re-establishment of the R. O. T. C. and at first was told by the War Department that he would touch with President Hinging, and the Senators and Representatives from Ohio who lent their influence to the end that the following letter was received last week: To: The Commanding General, Fifth Corps Area, Fort Benjamin-Harriot, Indiana, to the President, Warner University, Wilberforce, Ohio. Subject: Application from Wilberforce overall request to establish relationship with H. O. C. Griffin (1) Authority is given for the establishment of an Infantry Unit, senior division, in the college of Wilberforce University, and for a junior unit in the preparatory department of the University which as to enrolment, will be governed by the regulations applying to institutions enumerated in paragraph (1) of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. (2) The establishment of these units will take effect at the beginning of the next academic year. This will mean much to the young men who attend Wilberforce next year, as the War Department furnishes uniforms and acquaintance besides the other enrolments who go along with the R. O. T. C. The young men of the University have received the news with enthusiasm, it will mean much to others who have been hoping to attend college but have not seen their way clear to doing so on account of the expense.

Two Speeches In Congress On Day Anti-Lynching Bill Was assed Continued From Page One you have been fooling them? You have enough votes here in the House and in the Senate to make it a law, but you will never do it. Do you not know that when it fails to become a law they are going to hold you responsible for ramowaffing with them? Do you not know that it is not going to do you any good at the polls on election day this year? Thursday, January 26, 1923 Mr. FISH; Mr. Speaker under leave granted to revise and extend my remarks' in the Record. I submit a speech made by myself on the 18th of January, as follows: Mr. Fishb, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the House. I believe that Abraham Lincoln would turn in his grave if he thought that 60 years after the emancipation a Republican House would hesitate to pass legislation to protect colored people from being deprived of their lives without due process. I believe that follow the logic of the political tactics of the publican colleagues who try to pretend that this legislation is not aimed at special sections of the South. The spirit of Abraham Lincoln still lives and the Federal Government is obliged to take cognizance of the hideous plague of lynching and provide a penalty so drastic as to render it dangerous for future mobs to indulge in. Mr. Uphaw. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. Fish. Yes. Mr. Upshaw. There is no reference whatever to colored people in this bill. Mr. Fish. There is the exact point, and I will say to the gentleman from Georgia, that the reason for this bill, and in my mind the sole justification for this bill, is that his State and a few other States like his own fall to prosecute the trachers. Mr. Upehaw again rose. Mr. Fish. Does the gentleman want an answer? Mr. Upehaw. Yes. Mr. Fish. Proceed. Mr Upshaw I just want to ask the gentleman if he realizes that there has never been a lynching in Georgia in which there has not been an effort on the part of the State to punish the lynchers? And I wish do you further that the editorial just stand from the New York Tribune does not bring out the fact that Georgia has had a thousand times greater prosecution for lynching than New York has had. Mr. Fish. I will ask how many men have been convicted for lynching in the State of Georgia. Mr. Upshaw. I do not know exactly how many men have been convicted. Mr. Fish. Has a single one been convicted. Mr. Tubbaw. You're a number of them. Mr. Fish. And what do they. Mr. Tubbaw. Many of them have. Mr. Fish. I think the wrongman from Georgia is mistaken. Mr. Sankhand. Yes; and want to the Penitentiary, too, in Alamanda. Mr. Fish. The State of Georgia has an average of 10 lynchings a year, whereas the State of Virginia has no more lynchings than the Northern states, and in each case in the State of Virginia the lynchers have been prosecuted and convicted. It is only for your State of Georgia and others like her that we are obliged to enact Federal legislation to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment. (Amplause.) I will say furthermore to the gentleman from Georgia that it would be far more profitable for a certain Member of Congress of the United States who declared that American soldiers have been lynched in France and have been hung without being convicted by court-martial. I say, if that man who made those infamous charges would investigate lynchings in his own States instead of besieging the record of the American Expeditionary Forces. (Applause.) Mr. Upshaw. Will, the gentleman, yield? Mr. Fish. I regret I can not yield any further. The Chairman. The gentleman declines to yield further. cities to yield further. Mr. Fish. I cannot remain silent on this question. I would be untrue to those colored men of this country who paint the supreme sarcasm, and especially to men of my own command, and to those of our own command, who would safe for democrats. If I could advocate the passage of the anti-lynching bill. Let me tell you something that perhaps you Members of the House do not fully appreciate, and that is that the colored man who went into the war had in his heart the feeling that he was fighting not only to make the world safe for democracy but also to make this country safe for his own race. (Applause.) I wish also to testify to the loyalty, fortitude, and bravery of the colored soldiers, which compares favorably with any soldiers in the allied arm's or our own. Gentlemen, consider the appalling fact that there have been men who were in the uniform lynchied by citizens of Georgia. Some of them were innocent, indeed, because only 20 per cent of those who have been lynchied were lynched for the crime of rape. I can say further to the gentleman from Georgia, how can he defend, the fact that even women have been lynchied in the State of Georgia? Mr. Upshaw. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. Fish. NO! the gentleman can answer in his own time. I am not a lawyer and do not intend to go into the legal points of the bill, but I have political experience enough to know that it will be contested and disputed on constitutional grounds to the very end. It will be me to the Supreme Court finally to pass on the constitutionality of the antithefting bill and not the entinent constitutional lawyers of the House. I have sworn to support the Constitution of the United States and on that account, if for no other reason, it would be my sacred duty as a Member of the House of Representatives to vote for a drastic antitrust bill to protect the rights and lives of American citizens everywhere in the United States and put an end to lawlessness, which threatens the administration of Justice. Who can tell if lynching is not suppressed, when it will spread to take in the unpopular employer or capitalist and even public officials while enforcing the law? My distinguished colleague, Anwar Al-Masri, has written a continuity of nearly half a million people of whom 100,000 are colored men and women, has clearly painted out the fact that members of a lynching man in the South are sedimented, rarely prosecuted by the local or State authorities, and almost never convicted. Of all the dastardly and cowardly crimes lynching is the worst because the Lynchers are armed to the teeth and the victim is generally an unarmed person in the custody of the sheriff or local official. The mob is composed of cowardly rifflers and unless drastic legislation is passed and enforced the militia of warriors will not plot, threaten the country. As for me I do not think the bill for a criminal growth it should provide for something given in all courts will serve Lynchers is rampant for new gangsters who attempt to invade schools for the criminal process of the new and perverse assault on small businesses of government will kill the children and the elderly with the violence they will the racial question, but they do believe that it is a step in the right direction. Personally I advocate the creation of a commission to examine info the economic and political status of the colored people and report back to the House a comprehensive plan for the betterment of their condition and assure them equal protection and equal opportunity under the law. Brand. Will the gentleman yield. Mr. Fish. I wik. Mr. Brand. Has the gentleman any information in regard to the first lynching that occurred in Georgia? Mr. Fish. There have been lynchings there for 50 years. Mr. Brand. Has the gentleman any information as to when the first lynching occurred in Georgia? Mr. Flush. I do not know when the first occurred. Mr. Brand. The first lynching, which ever occurred in Georgia, so far as I can gather was in 1855. A Negro man raped a white woman in Gwinnett County. He fled for protection to Lawrenceville, where a company of Federal soldiers was stationed. When hearing the facts, they took aim in cuckoo boxes. The men set fire to the house square. The lynchers were partly from your own State and other States north of the Mason and Dixon Hine. Mr. Fish. It is the execution that proves the rule. There have been frenchings in Georgia for 60 years, and in exits today, so that colored citizens are forced to come no Congress and ask for protection of their lives. And if you Republicans fail to pass the bill, you will spread its disagement among the colored people throughout the land, who have been exon to understand that the Republican Party was going to do everything in its power to provide that the colored citizen should have equal rights under the law and that his life will be protected. The colored States. The colored citizen will not only be disimpolated and discriminated, but he will believe that Congress has turned a deaf ear to his plea for simple justice. If some of you warring Republicans fail to support the bill for disputed constitutional reasons. The reof hope and do much to agravate the racial problem. This is meticulous legislation, which we have promised to the colored people in our party platform. We owe it to ourselves and to those colored people who fought in our Army and to their kikr; we weit to our party, to tell the people in the South that the antilynching bill is aimed against special counties and States in the South, and if they can not and will not enforce the laws, if they will not prescribe the lynchers, then the Federal Government will do it for them. Mr. Bankhead. Does the gentleman think he is interpreting the act of the Republican Party in that? Mr. Fish. The Republican Party has written it into its platform and has no anology to make for the antilynching bill. Mr. Connally of Texas. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. Fish. Yes. Mr. Connally of Texas. The gentleman does not approve of the mob in East St Louis. Would not the gentleman favor an amendment to this bill so that it would include the riot like that in East St Louis, where 25 or 30 people were killed? Mr. Fish. I would favor some amendments to this bill. I understand that quite a few believe that the bill should be amended. In my opinion, however, many Members of the House are whistling their time discussing the bill from a constitutional point of view before the provisions of the bill are perfected by amendments. Mr. Connally of Texas. Does not the gentleman understand that this bill would not punish the mob in East St. Louis that killed a number of colored people? Mr. Fish. In that case men were prosecuted and convicted. I talkk si white men are now in jail for having taken part in that riot. I ask the gentleman is there a single white man in the state of Texas now in jail who took part in any traicking? (Applause) The Challenger. The time of the gentleman from New York has expired.

JUNIOR TOPIC-A Young Girl's Service INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Elissa Helping a Foregather - MOVING PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC - How Overcome National and Racial Prejudices. 1. Naaman's Fatal Defect (v. 1). He was a great man, but a leaper. He was held in high esteem by the king, because through him the Syrians had been delivered from their enemies. He was not only a capable general, but was a very brave man—valorous. Every unregenerate man, regardless of his gifts and possessions, has this one fatal defect. He may be a mighty warrior, a great orator, a gifted writer, a man of profound learning, an honorable statesman, but if he is an unbeliever in Christ, he is a lost sinner—a leaper. Leprosy is a type of sin. Note its characteristics: Lonhomme, hereditary, infectious, separating, destructive, deceilful, incurable by man. II. The Faithful Witness (vv. 2-4). This was a Jewish mald who had been captured by marauding Syrian troops who made frequent incursions into Israel's land for the purpose of plunder. Daniel at a later date was carried away captive, and he likewise was used of God to bless many. Joseph is another example of one who was put into a hard place, but became a blessing to others, even to the saving of his brothers, who sold him. This Jewish mald pointed out to this great man the One who could heal him. Many are the persons who have been pointed to Christ as the Healer of souls by children. III. Naaman Seeking the Healer (vv. 5-9). 1. He goes with a letter of introduction and great gifts (v. 5). In the East valuable gifts are taken along when in quest of some favor. In this case the value was perhaps $80,000. 2. He goes to the wrong place (vv. 6, 7). The naid did not suggest that if Naman would be with the king he would be recovered of his deprsy, but with the prophet of God. We should be very careful that we go to the right place with our troubles and sins. Neither the king's power nor Naman's money could avail anything in this case. The prophet of God can bring greater blessing than kings and rich men. 3. Naman at the door of Elisha (vv. 8, 9). Elisha, upon learning of the king's embarrassment, sent to him, saying, "Let him come now to me." Naman appeared before Elisha's door in great splendor. He did not come as a suppliant, but as one who could pay a goodly sum for healing. 1. Elisha's message (v. 10). Go wash in Jordan seven times. 2. Naaman's anger (vv. 11, 12). He thought that Elisha should have shown deference to him. People today think that their rank and wealth, entitle them to different treatment by God. They turn away from the humble way of the Cross, God's method of salvation. Rich and poor, high and low are alike in God's sight. Reasonings of the flesh must be supplanted by the obedience of faith. 3. Naaman's obedience (vv. 13, 14). Through the earnest entreaty of his servants his pride and prejudice were overcome, and he did what the prophet commanded. The result of his obedience was that his flesh "came again as the flesh of a little child." 4. Naaman acknowledges Jehovah (v. 15). After his cleansing he came again to the prophet and said, "Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel." The vital point of teaching in this lesson is how nearly Naamad missed being healed. The three enemies which almost kept him from being healed were: (1) Pride (v. 11). He was insulted because the man of God did not come out to such a distinguished man as he was. (2) Preconceived opinion (v. 11). "I thought." Many sinners procrastinate because they have preconceived opinions as to how God ought to save. (3) Prejudice (v. 12). Rivers of Damascus are better than Jordan. Countless thousands are lost by these enemies. God has provided only one way to save men from their sins—the way of the Cross. Now when all the people were baptised, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, 'Tou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.'

St. Louis M BY DAVE WATTE CHICAGO, FOOTBALL. The N. W. League composed of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Louisville, Kansas City and Chicago Stars is looking forward to the most pressing sensor in the history of the league. All of the magnates are work in principle and through strife was in evidence. The ang of the league at Chicago all has been buried and the oldfashioned have baked themselves together to make the way in every way. They are an imminent fans of the Middle West the best brand of baseball they have ever lived and every thing possible is going to be in their hands. The altered feature of the joint conference of moguls in Chicago to put in effect any of the proposed legislation for retreatment is to be taken into account. This time it must be criticized as evidence that the club's players are so blindly standard by nature and habit that their case is hopeless depends upon the review and only time can tell the story. It is quite a welcome relief, however, to find the magnitudes so excellent at all time, when a brief two-minute pass is so sure that only rigid economy would form baseball to live through the period of economic turmoil. There is so far as any dishevelment any change in the team's offense or defense, which leads to the conclusion that the wave of positism was ingested by this writer recently, would be less than baseball that so would. The team would believe, without meaning to sound any reason of mind, that it would have been impossible to have drawn in these twenty players, and that matter of player hikes. Eighth and twenty hikes are too many to be carrying around to say nothing of the saying that might be hobble in these crowded label rates. But it is a long while until the season of us and there is yet time to change regulations to soon begin to regulations that may develop New Managers Never in the history of the league has such an aggregation of capable managers been born together. Whereas the league the old ones and all of them are looking forward to the hotest race the Western Circuit ever had, Though the salary limit is expected to be smaller than it has been in some time, there are plenty of fast players available and the matter of salary expected to be satisfactory are expected. Financial difficulties at our home last season, and for a time it looked like H. St. Louis would drop out and not be a member of the league this season. The owner of the team is president of the league, and the magnates of the league put their heads together and arguably matters so that the St. Louis Club could remain in the circuit. The Monal City Club so is to be a good Wesleyan, and the club makes money is hard to understand. However this situation on the other clubs will help and the Monal Citizens are important to a successful year. The games to be played this week will be played in the third and last round. Senior boys team, won one and last game, will play in the second round, leaving the old ladies to be held off on the step ground. **Valley Ball** The old ladies continued to win when she defeated the old boys in a well played and exciting game. One more victory will elicit the Champion team for the old ladies in the valley league for the game this week. Young Ladies will take the Sports. **Indoor Base Ball** In the Junior League, the Heavens will play in the second round.

KC Cunning, Writish Kot, Bates PRESIDENT-HARDING AND MR. BRISBANE. For The Association of Negro Press. In his column "Today," January 21, 1922, Mr. Arthur Brisbane said: President Harding told the Colored men and women to take a more active role for them to talk about equality. Said he, "This is a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal difference." Further Mr. Brisbane said: "That earned young socialist Philadelphus, Class Russell, rebukes President Harding and wants to know what ???? there is more historic Negro and white races." "Show me," says he. In any natural history museum the political attendance will show him. He will lead Mr. Leibman to a row of shirts and say, "This is a Negro of another. This is a white man." A five year old child" says Mr. Leibman, "can be taught the differences between the skull except by overbreeding which will not would take many thousands of years. To life up the bane of a forehead, ask it to link an inch higher. The perpendent would take 10,000 yrs at least, must pizzling to those that must, most pizzling to those that must, but that don't want to develop themselves." To most thinkers it can but appear that President Harding was thinking more of diplomacy than of solving a serious diplomatic than of spike these words to an audience in the South, much as we all admire him. Even, President should weight his hands carefully and, when discussing his statements should harmonize with his theories concerning the origin and development of the race. If the President accepts, the orthodox, biblical account of the creation, Adam and Eve were the origi- nal species that all people of every race are descent from the "first ptite" "Nemesis must be befiled." The difference, then, between the white and black man, the fundamental, eternal and inescapable "for" is without beginning or ending. The Negt, if the militant account is true, was the product of Adam and Eve through a subsisting progeniture, and the stamping this brings to do with stamping the breeds of different eras in different colors. On the other hand, should President, Harding with most thinkers hold the scientific view of the origin and extension of the human species, the physical difference between white black people, as being "fundamental, eternal and inescapable" for "must know that no racial differenti- ties are eternal and inescapable, and have undergone ceaseless change as have all man's miserable things. As to Mr. Brissane's statement in this issue, they are "unanswerable" because they belong to the characteristic of a generation of some writers particularly show reputation for saving writers' startling things must be sustained. How does Mr. Brissane know that to lift up the blade of a fordhead making it at least half an inch nearer the perpendicular, would take 10,000 years? It signifies nothing relative to the question of "social equality." Some of the greatest mental geniuses of the American now have lost abnormal craniums. Brain activities and cranial lock without affect have half an inch without affect. Mr. Brissane will take the time to visit some natural history museum "polite attendees" will "show blim skirts of probostic white men with a great or greater variance than that between the skulls of the Negroes and the white men." Mr. Brissane should know that three or four great racial diversity of Today are the results of long ages of interrelations and reunions of the human species, mid that white laterly differentiation and restructures of the human species, out of hate, particularly within the last half century, whether desired or not, the white and black people of America have been mixed, so the extinct human species, the homo sapiens, colored one gay while blood and a large part of that percentage is more white than black. But all, should not one's social position, intellect, rather than by shapes of culture. Are we not willing for any man of wear his spurs who wins them? We not those, of us, who believe in the flood of may feel sorry if any people are not our social equals, and are not willing to give them every chance to become our equals? If not, there is something wrong with our ideas of human progress. NO "EMPEROR JONES" IN THE SOUTH ... From the Chicago Tribune Associated Negro Press. Adolph Klimber, who manager the Columbia University tripiu sent the company into Virginia to help try out the south with the play "The Empress Jones," in which Gilpin in the star, with white support, but the actor received a letter while in Virginia, in a Kliu Klux Klan ad, after which his tour farther into the South, with a mixed company. The management decided that this was good advice and steered a contour north. The warbling was too temible in fact, and the actor was as potent it was powerful and the South has missed a great play with an astonishing actor because the actor is black. Probably not only the boy that is black but that being black. The South has produced the popular classics of the Afro-American and white men have written them, but they have been of Ursula Kramer, Jolling talk stories to the little boy from the big, fully faithful but unattractive and young girl of whom there have been the slaves signing.

The southern limitation of the Colored race in waking and in music and on the stage are the limitations of the servant The British in India have a rule, needed mostly in the movies, and there it is a censorship rule, that producers not show pictures which reveal darker ones. It is bad for white dominance, the British say to show white men doing injustice or committing crime. Obello could not get by in that is official for the British but in the American south social rules are conveyed and enforced unofficially. The people who object to "Emperor Jones" are a great play but they miss the point of it, or they might not have objected. Gilpin potrait of the 'character' does not conform to the convention that a good Colleague him is a comrade man; the emperor is essentially more assasinable than the emperor's own principles that the white does and must rule when the races are thrown together. The white Joachim comber in the play is miserable and vile enough to be a villain, but the black man does. Gilpin black man goes mad in the jungle at night, seeing imaginary terrors and awakening his ammunition on them as his real pursuers, advance. At the south wanted a desist of the South, but for the jalented Gilpin would have been flat-faced, but a social elicitor stood above any such considerations. We do not know how, the South feels about Othello, anyway this Emperor does well without his drama a realistic black man likely there would be no objection in South to the mental and spiritual collapse of a black man under strain, but some objection to permitting a real black man demonstrate talent in percussion.

There was nothing so different about these fellows up here, and their attitudes, that she was never sure of herself, and always viewed them. He was still looking at her. There was no audible questioning, but the whimical smile and the arrogant bewildered seated to query. Well, "How can you is looks rather strange to you?" He went into such philosophy. That's all. There was an amusing grimacing about the expanding smile. There was a way, a way, a way, a way, one humbled and a little apprehensive felt they were about to see the tortures of a deflated soul. He spoke with a voice so sinuous that it took one a minute to understand. He rather exclaimed, "I was wrong." "You're a Southerner... aren't you Miss? And you meant it looked stranger for a Colored fellow, and not an American." The service came from every walk and station and it is more to be wondered at when he does not, than to be surprised at his ing. He almost resembled me to this whole rotten mess."

Heaven—All's right with the world! The eternal Negro Press. The earliest and most of us are following here are two headlines: "Negro official kills Soldier," and "Girl Deserters" Both of these are from the Patton- nion, N. J. "Morning Call." The first refers to the facts that before the com- mite—investigating Tom Watson's soldier—a Negro officer (it is alleged kills a Negro officer) who says Negro officer alright, but says only "soldier." The word Negro is used only where it will hurt the Negro. In reason it makes no differ- ence from the murder of a black or a white soldier. American prejudice it does, and moreover they know that the great majority of people read only the head- lines about the attack on the girl they are tired of hearing much about Tom Watson anyhow. And you notice that the other head- lines about the attack on the girl they are tired of hearing much about Tom Watson anyhow. Girl of fifteen yeaht?

Of course it made sensible people laugh when he said it, but we remember that this world who are not sensible, some of them actually imagined these white boys and "boxing promotions" were really more interested in Jack Dempsey. Just think of it. Tex Richard and Jack Dempsey, with haloes behind the head, holding up forbidding hand to such as Jack Johnson. It just happens to be the fact that Jack Johnson is as much experienced as a crime as that with which Hickard is now accused. The crime of which Johnson was accused is inflict; the one of which Hickard is accused is much experienced, and much experienced program, and friend, and a beneficiary of Jack Johnson who got him into trouble, and we do not know even now that she was employed by the secret-service men, and school girl of fifteen years, a baby The truth is, Jack Johnson is in a class with the white men of his profession and with whom he was associated—and what little difference there is, is in Johnson's favor.

The worst thing about it all is that so many people will be fooled. Even some of the Colored folks have been fooled in this case. Some of them think they are a class by him, self-identity, and that they should give kick, and Denny's a sort of Sunday school rating for barring Johnson. Any public opinion is often so brainless: If Jack Johnson or any other older boxer of prominence had an interest in Harry Wills, with which Richard is accused, all Newcomers would be looked upon as a special type of criminal, and Dampier would have a much better excuse than Harry Wills.
