Associated Negro Press, C. W. Smith, 22—President Harding has had another "rule awakening." The President has expressed himself as an amazed at the availance of unfavourable comment that has fallen down the "valley of despair" of the nation, beginning the appointment of A. G. Froese for the position of Recorder of Deaths. One of the leaders in political activities made this statement to the nation, nothing unminged. Mr. Froese personally. He may be a man of the highest integrity; but no one knows him. The Recorder of Deeds and the Register of the Treasury are, two outstanding figures, in the form, in calling men of national reputation. The President has deeded us the Register, which I think, politically is, most unfortunate. As to recorder I am certain the President would not have been so unfortunate, how worthy, to be Secretary of State, ambassador to England or France. The upshot of the whole situation, according to political observation, is that the government is the administration, although being a strong advocate of party organization and leadership has decided to listen to the "small white" vote of white voters even in so far as Nero appointments are concerned. Look at this, even not his appointment three Senator Eldin of West Virginia. The Associated Nero Press was the first to learn of this officially in the group, and then to broaden his political good fortune to the late Tate Hertz of Kentucky who was National Committeeman; Llew Flipper, in the Interior Department, was appointed, without consultation; by Secretary of the Interior Full; Solomon P. Hood, once the success as Minister to Liberia to Senator Eldin and then to Senator Edward, a known political leader of New Jersey was not enthusiastic about the Hood appointment. Dr. W. E. Scarlett, white friend to the present leadership, may be assigned to the credit of Senator Willis of Ohio, and President Harding personally, Charles Coffrill, high exponent of President Harding's witness at the Chicago convention, and former port at Honolulu, was sacrificed on the alter of despair by the measured favor accorded the Greek Text book author and former president of Wilberforce University. The St. Louis Argus CHIGAGO WILL NOT RUN COLORED MAN FOR U.S. CONGRESS Madden Stops An Incipient Movement By Recital Of Part He Topk For The Anti-Lynching Bill. Negroes in District Are In Majority But Decide To Reward Congressman For His Loyalty To Voters. Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, IL. Feb. 22—It is not probable that Chicago will send a Colored Congressman to Washington in the near future. A clever comeback by the local Congressman. Madden is thought not yet any idea of that sort, which may have been in the minds of local residents. Public use, both Colored and white in touch with the trend of political thought, throughout the country have been watering the possibility of colored representation, both here and in the Harlem district of New York. The complete racial control of the famous second ward in Chicago with a balance of power in the third has made Chicago seen the likely startling point for an effort of this sort. At a recent election, he was a Colored candidate. In the race, the Coalition have been anxious to say their hats in the ring for the cooling campaign, although Dr. Geo. C. Hall is the only one whose name has been spoken above a whisper in the effort to succeed. Representative Madlen who represent the first district and member of the influential members of the low housing Chairman of the powerful appropriations committee. Last Sunday Congressman Madden flanked by Alderman Louis B. Anderson, Committeeman Edward H. Wright and Oscar DePriet who is managing the organization, swept through the second and third sweep in a deluge of glory and oratory. Ten meetings had been arranged for the Congressman at various churches, at an N. A. A. G. P. reception. Replyp leaders headquarters clinching at 9:30 a.m. in the Club where he arrived at 9:30 a.m. Mr. Madsen spoke in each instance on the Dyer Bill in the passing through the House, which he had played an accomplice part. sidetracking important appropriation measures that it had been required to do, he and the other leaders for the bill had watched each Congressman and knew those which were weak and how he whispered words of comfort in those representatives, who doubled and sat at their side when time for voting was short. He was manipulating though painfully at his man- listening though painfully at his hearing, voted in the affirmative. He warned that the passage of the hill then the Senate was fraught with drones because it had no champagne, and particularly suggestive that those who cance of justice should be made to explain the reason why. At the end of his eloquent speech he declared that "No other people in the world have the power to give to the Bases of such discrimination bad to contend with." Your boys in the late war were—the only boys of any race that naked special favors his soldiers. They are entitled to ever more opportunities, but most continued low-floor ones are ignored and subjected to abuse. This must be a single nation under a single flag with every man a citizen, with no women, not men—and every opportunity must be afforded all. There must be no segregation among citizens." Applause greeted the assertion by Jon. Oscar Delrieft that the voters didn't mind not throw away his benefit of McGraw's experience in Washington for the glory of an individual and that Mr. Madden was worthy of the presidency. General opinion expressed after the vote was to be that Mr. Madden was good to his return to the lower house and that ambitious seekers for his tags would have hastened gladding. Mr. Madden's loathing of the increased the opinion that a strong person do the race more good than a colored one.

Clifford Taylor, 23 year old colored chauffeur, was convicted last Saturday of manslaughter and sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary for the murder of H. Graham, wealthy member of the H. Graham family, November 26 last. One of the most sensationally trials in the history of St. Louis County was ended in a swirl of verbal protechnice by County prosecutor Mueller who, in his summary, sort to the use of face prejudice in his exorcitation to the jury. Mr. Graham, the tool he first says Graham Mary, had stated that, immediately following the shooting of Graham and when his wife had come to him to help him the first words of the wounded man were "honey, he got me first," which prosecutors said as to who should have been shot Taylor or Graham. "The Graham home was a regular prison," stated Senator Rahm, chap- nel in his final argument in the court, "and you all reasonable doubt that there was a large reviver at the front door, that there were shot guns in the hall, that there were revolvers at vapors there," prosecutor Goes Wild. Following the summing up by Chas Noble, attorney for defense, Prosecutor Muriel apparently forset all intimidations, local ethics and his nation's to convict a Negro. After a wild assignation of the characters of the defense's colored witnesses because they were colored, he began a fera- nation's rejection of the witnesses in Nigra; he then rested the rest of the tropical southern battle cries to race, hurried until severely re- primanded by the court. Judge McFlinney in reprimanding he hoped not would stop that. We do not want any race issue in this case and we have endeavored to keep it out of it.

He gets a stormy reception from his future comrades but his two-tisted way of meeting all obstacles wins him a place and friends, who stick to him in his daring attempt to reunite the gift of his love from The second of the Great Pine Tree Stories of Love And Life in the Great Untamed Northwest Featuring FAIRE BINNEY and BUSTER COLLIER The Birgin Peacock at the Glencoe Theater next Tuesday will be "Don't Tell Everything." It deals with a town girl, a woodsy girl, a sportive young marry girl, his philosopher-friend. There is a triangular love of fair, which results in mity ups, that will keep you guessing as to the outcome. But the thrash, though surprising, will prove satisfactory to all spectators. It is a polly game which all but ends tragically a sort of Loihi marry game a mountain storm and the joke. It will be show. Tuesday. The big feature next Thursday and Friday will be, "A Virgin Paradise" *The history*, written by Hiram Perry Maxima, tells of the life of a half wild girl in the angles of a South Sea island and later in society near New York. She finds hyporisey in civilization? and displays her displays are in vigorous fashion. Pearl White appears in the strenuous role. This Sunday, the Comet will present Tom Mia in "Sky High." Of course, Mix's dating is in evidence and there are pleasures of thrills. "FIGHTING MAD" AND "3 WQRD BRAND" AT THE STAR. William Desmond in "Fighting Mad" will be the special picture for next Thursday at the start Theater. There is a wealth of romance and adventure in this new membership and "pervious" escapades portrayed. There is never a dragon's name of the youthful hero gains the friendship of his comrades of the Border Patrol by his expert use of his fists and then proves that he is just as good a rider and fighter when they set out to rescue his sweetheart who has been captured by bandits. This Saturday, the Star will present "The Girl from Persephone." On Sunday the feature will be Dick Hartan in "Fearless Dick," and next Tuesday Bill Hart will be seen in "Three Word Brand." It is a strong picture in which Mr. Hart essays three distinct roles and in no way, portrayed he is usual artifact and convincing. The picture is filled with brilliances and dramas and there is a pretty audacious love story which exerts a strong appeal. WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN "VIRGIN PARADISE" The dramatic story of a fair barbarian. A play of primitive passion and appealing romance. A tale of a dual personality in a South Sea Island maid. A story of a social savage whose velvet hand sheathed a clutch of steel. A play where the only law is the primal law. The story of a child of nature who balked at the conventions of society. of the Missouri Negro Industrial Mission. Room 407 State Capitol. Jersey City, Md. In a very short time, the de- laire to the Constitutional Conven- tial meet and begin the work writing a Constitution for Mia- which will probably be the guide people of the State during ext one hundred years; this be- it is well to consider some of ings which will probably come a discussion as they affect the constitution, to its long-lived provide as a measuring trick to product of all the people—to serve fundamental law in which the of every man, woman and child aleguaded—must of necessity be eaugh and free of blamed in relations to such an extent that any one meaning may be drawn from relating to any specific conduct for any individual class of individuals, regardless of race, religion or previous condition, so long as all are Americans and inhabit the commonwealth. It it falls in this respect, it will not serve its purpose and the convention will have met in vain; its labors will represent the desires of only a part of the people, and will fail to serve the best interests of the State now and in the future years. Our new Constitution should be broad enough to conserve the rights of all, to prohibit none, and to weel every varled element of the population—so far, as equality before the law is concerned—into one homogeneous whole, working for all the best there is in the development of mankind. The old constitution iobus hands with some others in the United States in enunciating the doctrine of "State Rights," a meeting theory at best, but one which helped to drench this Nation in blood. It will be well for Missouri, at this time, to take an advanced step and join other progressive states in which no such onworn doctrine is inherited. The union of the states was founded on the theory that mind of the welfare of the people is best served in joining fellow efforts; this of itself presupposes any other do a positive role in it, evidence of the people of any state. No nation could have ever grown out of the many states with a partnership in which each entered to join something be anything she might have, thought at the time she surrounded; it was the prize each paid for greater security of their perseverance. In other words the "Station Right," promising it not creatively but destructive, and something Missouri can well afford to in law angle. The Negroes of the State should, very mercifully, be against this rule of anti-bellum days. Any constitution for Missouri, if it is to serve the people, should incorporate no race line. Radial matters, race relations and everything radical in the state, would be governed by forces of greater strength than mere proponents. It is difficult to conceive how the framers of the old constitution ever brought the metaphysics to a state of mind and conscience where they considered a law fundamental, which discriminated against a fairly large percent of the citizens of the state; how any discriminatory law was considered vital to the extent it should be made a part of the basic law, or how they could believe the welfare of the greatest number was best served by such a provision, unless they feared the majority of the state would without such a restriction, be oppressed by the minority. It is not necessary to even discuss the question of our dutal school system to establish the fact that the middle class constitution was not only unnecessary, almost and a disgrace to the impelling motive of the convention which wrote it in, but wholly uncalled for by the then existing circumstances. Racial segregation have always with very few exceptions proven self-regulatory to make them, anything else to admit the failure of our system of government and the incompetence of the ruling class to govern impartially. We believe that the Negroes of this state stand for— (a). A new constitution in which there is no assertion of "State" Rights; declaring as used for excuses in abusing duties toward any of the state's citizens as is done by some states of the Union. (b). A constitution in which every man is placed on exactly the same footing with reference to race or previous condition. (c). A constitution granting our state legislature pay for their services on a salary basis instead of a per- prevented by future politicians. In conclusion: This constitution, the convention will write should be as nearly perfect as human wisdom can make it; it must meet the needs of a state growing away from old traditions, entering the new and approaching the goal of enlightenment, men recognize each other for their work in accomplishment; what we stand for in state and not what we dreamed of in特质的, barred and proscription of every kind would dislace; Missouri's growing; she needs a constitution which will meet such progress and it can not be laid out along narrow lines.

DOCTRINE OF GOOD WILL "LEAVENING THE LUMP" So Dellelic Members Of North East Georgia Conference After Discussing Inter-Racial Relations. ATHENX8. Ga., Feb. 15. That the doctrine of goodwill is "leaving the lump" of inter-racial relations and hastening the day of better understanding in the South is borne out in a wonderful meeting which was held her last week in the Colonial Theatre The Meeting was the conciling session of the Association of Northwestern Conference on welfare, and the topic for discussion was "Religion the basis of cooperation between races" The speakers on the program included Hon. Geo Foster, Peabody, of New York; Dr. R. R. Motton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. James E. Tuskegee Institute; Dr. James E. Institute and Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, Jr. Institute of the Jeanne Slater Boards and Judge Andrew J. Cobb of Athena Judge Cobb, who represents the highest type of Southern aristocracy spoke of the relationship between the races prior to the Civil War, "But," said Judge Cobb, "we cannot live now in the past." Dr. Dillard presented five facts concerning the race relation, which he cogulated which we summed up given facts were; that the two races are going to live side by side; that the South must recognize the economic importance of the Negro; that the two races can live side by side all working out their common problems, and yet natural segregation, free of any friction; that there are many more Colored people who are well educated and educated the average white man knows about; and that the Southern white people justly claimed that they are Christians. His conclusions were: Since the two races are to live together all should be educated to live a better life; it is only fair that the Southern people should treat with utmost consideration the people of another race who are making an effort to rise in the South; it is only fair that the South must be best thought of the South must be given to the question of justice to all people." Dr. Moton was the only Colored speaker and much of the interest was centered about his remarks. In his characteristic way, Dr. Moton told the white people that he would tell them what the Colored people had in the "back of their heads" concerning the race, and that he would tell the Colored people what the white people had in the "back of their heads" concerning Colored people. This gave him an opportunity to discuss many of the problems which are faced by both of the races in reaching a happy solution of the problem. LIBERIA'S VIEW OF SOCIAL EQUALITY Associated Negro Press. -MONROVIA, Liberia, W. Africa. Feb. 32—Poklek fun at, the battle the Colored man is making in America, for racial equality, the Liberian News, published here says the situation is reversed in West Africa. Says the News: "We are pleased to say for general information that we are neither Gay veylers nor Dubolites and we are not members of the U. N. J. A. nor the N. A. A. U. C. but we are true Fiberians and we do not contend for social equality for it is a thing that in all cultures for it we must contend for "we" are at the moment, rking of the ladder. Whoever comes to this country, whether they be British, French or American, they must contend for social equality with us; but in our opinion it is not social equality that the Negro of America really wants no. we think he wants social justice and equal opportunity." Georgia Republicans Are Organizing The Women With Colored Harred Associated Negro Fiction. ATLANTA, Gp.

These are provided, in arriving the hold of other meetings in the City and in other cities of the state dealing with the organization of the government.

NAMHVILLE, Trum, Feb. 22—Walden University, organized in 1855 is to be saved and Mebray Medical College is to lose me Greater Mebray. Those educational landmarks, famed for their sterling work in training Negro youth have been made the benefactors of substantial help which will keep the former from being merged into some other institution and give the latter a chance to rise out of class B in the medical College grade. Dr. I. Garland Peim. Secretary of the President's Unit. Society which has always supported these two institutions has supported the purchase of a new site for Walden, the first school established by the Society, property which cost $155,000 provides adequately for the beginning and development of a new-Walden. It was formerly known as the City View Sanitarium for white people and has a beautiful site which commands an excellent view of the city. the buildings and grounds of the old Walden College which adjoined Meharry are turned over to the Meharry Medical College, making possible the expansion of Meharry to meet future needs for the next fifty years of office. Negro race in the training of physicians, pharmacists and trained nurses. There will be benedicate spaces for the future of new buildings. In the future Meharry may need. As for Meharry Medical College, the institution secures an endowment of one half million dollars, an increase in real estate of more than double its present holdings, and a very considerable number of buildings in which all the student body now residing in the city may be housed upon the campus. One of the conditions upon which Meharry Medical College was to receive the $500,000 from the General Education Board and Carnegie Corporation was that the school should not give $200,000 cash endowment but build a property the old Walden College for Meharry. As will be seen all conditions have been met. It is said half of all the Negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists in the United States are graduates of Meharry and likewise, that among the leaders of the Negro in many locations of life are graduates of Walden, perpetuation of these two institutions, the needs of Meharry are so great that $500,000 endowment, which yields but $25,000 per annum, will not be sufficient to make the institution efficient, hence plans are being worked out and deeply laid to increase the endowment to a million and a half dollars. The Meharry Alumni, who are among the most prosperous men of the Negroes and the city of Nashville and other responsible and important agencies and friends have the matter in hand. PICKENS SAYS SOUTH DID NOT SURRENDER WITH LEE 57 YEARS AGO PICKENS SAYS SOUTH DID NOT SURRENDER WITH LEE 57 YEARS AGO Solid Fight Against Anti-Lynching Bill Proof Statemanship Is Tied Head And Heart To Tradition. NEW YORK CITY, Feb 15—Well, the Dyer bill has passed the House, a reporter remarked to Wm. Pickens, of the Associated Negro Press. "Yes he replied, the Southern vote in the House of Representatives was 'Solid' for the murder in the case of antllynching bill. Nearly fifty seven years since Lee surrendered, but the South has not yet shredened, so great an effort at reform has to be made on a strictly partitioned vote, the boneheadness of Southern, statesmanship makes that necessary. That statesmanship is tied head and heart to tradition. Most of those who get lynchened (now), are Negroes—therefore this bill is, to help, "Negroes"—therefore the "South" must oppose it etc. This great measure aimed to make America a better place for body to live in. the Negro included, of course—but the South still cannot see beyond the Negro and its own traditional attitude toward him. And... remember, men of America, this bill is not yet a law, it still has to run the gauntlet of "committees and "filibustering." In the Senate, the will be easy to amend a bill like this to death. Colonial Americans and the friends of law, who are not Colored, will not forget that 8 Democrat votes for the Anti-traching bill, and must not forget that 17 Republicans voted against it. Of course, these 8 Democrat are from the North. It is our belief that even some of the southern members would have voted for it, had they be able to "atmosphere." We boast that we are "free men" but most of us are shaved to our environment. this fight for civilization, and one of the National Association for the best things is that the New news Advancement of Colored People led papers did younger service in forwarding the fight. Never before has the Colored American group shown itself the cooperative work as it is done among the unhappy men more than they have done. We fear, however, that most Colored folks do not realize that it could further in any way be insulted that the American has to keep up the fight. It is not in human nature to keep up the fight.

Feb. 3 — Wherever there is a real American Negro, he is on the stage, all the battle front, in jail or even in Mississippi, and William Pickins, contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press, recently.

Prof. Hudcourt said the National City bank, the Inflam-American Sugar corporation and R. E. Forster, President of the West Indies Trading Co. are behind the plan. John A. McHenney, appointed by express Wilson as financial advisor of Hilti, now is in Washington as the agent for the New York interests. Prof. Hudcourt charged. NASHVILLE, Teen. Feb. 15. Declaring that "unless inlessness and mob violence can be checked, the very foundation of our civilization is threatened," a large company of representative Tennessee women, white, from all sections of the state, in session at McKenzie church here, pledged themselves to cultivate a Christian attitude with regard to interracial questions and organized the woman's section of the Tennessee Inter-Racial Committee. The moving which was called by Mrs. Luke G. Johnson of Atlanta, representing the Southern Commission was attended by about seventy five women prominent in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the south. Mrs. Johnson presided and addresses were made by Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Bishop Troy Beatty of Tennessee, Mrs. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee, Ala., Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Southern College, Prof. by M. Faverot of Longlans and Prof. S. L.

Washington as head of Truskegee Institute; made a brief talk, dignified and in the spirit, expressing confidence in the friendship and co-operation of the white race, and pleasing for the sympathy and help of the white women of the South in the development of better Negro homes and schools. Among the declarations of the meeting were these: We appreciate the elvishity of white men, but displace the fact that a Colonel man must suffer violence in seeking the protection of the women of their race. We therefore pludge ourselves to cultivate the Christian attitude of mind in every day contact by discouraging the use of these terms both in conversation and in the press that arouse resentment and convey a sense of infidelity or contempt; by using our influence against rudeness on the part of all public officials and employers of public utilities; by standing for justice and opportunity and the fullest possible development to which every individual of the race can attain. SAYS NEGROES SHOULD BECOME A HARD RACE SAYS NEGROES SHOULD BECOME A HARD RACE HAMPTON, Va. Feb. 22—That Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong's ideal for Negroes was the kind of education which would edible Colored men and women to live successfully in the same world of mind and spirit that the white-man inherits was the opinion expressed by Mrs. Edith Armstrong, Talbot, daughter of General Armstrong in a recent address on "Armstrong and His Ideals" delivered here. Among other things, Mrs. Talbot declared that the white man's world is ruled by mind, not by feelings and emotions, and that the people who allowed themselves to be governed by their minds never succeeded in it. "Negroes should not hard like a rock, but hard like the sugar-mangle tree, which is wrapped every year and loses its life blood, but heals its wound overnight and is too busy growing to dwell on them. "Certain kinds of education help a man to gain the rule of mind feeling, industrial and technical education, artistic and business training, which require both practical application and abstract knowledge, help man to acquire the scope of action of the man who has learned how to rule himself with his own mind, but does not help him gain such rule."

PAGE TWELVE WESTERN CIRCUIT FANS READY FOR REAL DOPE Magaztes Have About Disposed Of The Winter Brand And Real Spring Stuff Is Now In Order. By Dave Wyatt CHICAGO, Feb 27 - Now that the N. N. League, directors have held their annual powwow, divided to play along us usual both as regards circuit and blight of season, have announced rules and regulations there is only left for the fans to know. needs so as to deliver better calls for the League manager around the credit have begun to sit around and set up prospects for the 19th season. There will be many changes in the personnel of the various clubs. Sizing the clubs as, as they look after the winter's trades, purchases, and releases, and before they start the spring prepping is a popular diversion. The newcomers always look brilliant, the weirians always have their dreams, and the dreamers always have their dreams. All the mistakes of last season are to be prevented, all the good ideas developed during the winter are to help the team to the front. Never the tamer, smarter, more agitates, more harmoniously happy, it is just before the eight signup at the barrier that sends them off to the race. No man can tell before the test of actual battle, whether the deals of the winter have helped or hurt a club, or whether the new players are acro-trains. Pre-Season Views At Detroit, the addition of Thomas with the shifting of Warrington to third scene to the shifting of Fielding to the field and players' use of batting power If the stars, get Barry, the outfielder balances power on the defense and much more powerful with the stick. On all round form, the Stars crew, as now made up, should compete with the American Giants, taking fashion, unless the standby pitchers Holland and Cooper, sag and stumble. Kansas City has twenty five men on the list and recently required Big Taylor and Hawkins, pitcher and first baseman of last year's Chicago Giants. The Monarchs has just one deal in the deal when one can earn a contract with the shortstop. The main drawback is the lack of training material. Clubs which have fewer pitchers of good quality demand one of the Kansas City pitcher and the stock is already too limited. If Moore is it for the season's campaign, the acquisition of a shutting daypack acquisition takes the place of the disabled Portland would save the situation, but parting with one of the good pitchers of the Kansas City club would reduce the defense strength to hunch Brothers Ben, Ben, and C.T. Taylor of Indiana, and more pitchers that are outfield pitchers will just about include Indiana pitchers a banner. The team is going curtied and have a wealth of good infield material. The team is considered the possible dark horse of Indiana to be regarded with respect. To George Britt has a good solemn, and taking it for granted that Britt is all there and with Handled, Beganham jumping up to the note, the Cleveland outfit shows dangerous. Philippe moses it that makes some of the most beautiful buildings in the city, especially in plazaes, the sling start over the circuit prent- tially unseen quantity. It looks like a long hard drill for the Key stones. St. Louis one-shot a common form should be a contour. The Cuban abuses long formible.

WORLD'S GREATEST ADVENTURE WILL SHOW ON SCREEN WORLD'S GREATEST ADVENTURE WILL SHOW ON SCREEN With Stanley in Africa, Woods int'l Serial Picture, Coming In 18 Episodes (World's Greatest Adventure) The story is getting shorter, the day is showing more, and all timepieces awaiting with eager expectance the release of Universal's starting serial motion picture. "With Stanley in Africa, the most historical, the most monuments and the most republican chapter in the history of motion pictures. Every school child knows the heads of schools an important part of their interests in the presentation of "With Stanley in Africa." This is a serial at one and the same time, that mirrors the greatest adventure and most historical event in the world's annals. The daring of the Livingston, who was best among the African Tribes, his exploration of that country, and his courage in carrying harbours by Stanley and his party are pages of history that will still be remembered until all things end, and which carefully portrayed in this picture. And, gladly to announce, this living event will soon be thrown on the screen so the entire world may see with its own eyes the most exciting spectacle of the age. "The first release of the picture, and for eighties weeks there after will be at the Retina theatre. 'Nothing has ever been seen to even compare with it.' A wonderful cast of characters have been assembled to withstand the most challenging characters with wonderful characters and such酷饰 as George Washburn, most ablest by the world, and deluded by millions of movie gers.' Louise Lorraine, a charming and clever gers; Noble Johnson, whom every reader of the book is familiar with and hundreds of others. "At what want do life in the most tragic days, with wonderful, authentic scenes, great diving and amazing entertainment you will not want to miss."

There is little to hide that the Negro commissioner of the American Theatre will ditch the opening up of Broadway to Colored productions, says Raymond G. Carr writing in the public Lodge of Philadelphia. I visited the Gird St music hall recently where every Wednesday night a Colored Musical Comedy Company in Slough Alone gives a midnight performance. The theatre runs 1100 and the entire lower block of 1500 seats is always reserved for whites, only the theater and gallery with some of the career carved to Negroes. In the orchestra I saw dozens of prominent actors and from the big Broadway institutions which featured with the comedic lines of F. E. Miller and the Negro airlines of the book theater the equally hands and the early music of Nobile Skale and Cobie Blake who played in the remountable cast of all Negro musical ensembles. The presentation and success of *Silly Bob* have been taken into New York New York and sung from all parts of the country. The cast of the piece itself is a roster of American cities and their respective Negro life and talent. For instance, *Bubba Blake* is from Baltimore; *Paul Flood* from Philadelphia; *Little Gee* Washington; *Milton* Chicago; *Roger Matthews* Bison on James Woodson; *S. C. Bob* WM Texico; *Jerry Jerry* Jeffery; *M. C. Themison* Memphis; *E. C. Drayton* Figningham; *M. A. H. Browning* Los Angeles; *W. H. Berry* New Orleans; *Indianapolis* Denver and so on. Through all the singing a deep bossa sense of philharmonic sweetness and rowe dominated. Its possessor, W. H. Kamm, had he been white, would be singing at the Metropolitan theater House. I have the expert opinion of several great theater stars who have heard him that he is as fine a bass solitaire as Red Plannon, the Frenchman at the latter's best. BERT WILLIAMS AT K. CITY THIS WEEK Bert Williams has been elevated to unquestioned starboard in the slabset production, "Under the Bamboo Tree" which has been playing, to capacity houses and is booked at the Hanna Theatre-Kansas City, this week. Recent runners that Bert was to enter drama appear to be unfounded. The juxtaposition, Williams, in comedy, is a superb artist, "Under the Bamboo Tree" is a play with sufficient plot to bring out all the excellence of his ability. As the sharp porter of a popular resort he, keeps a bunch of resort patrons on the jump during the whole play, and furnishes his audience with a million dollars worth of money. To those who have seen the Folies in past years the loss of Bert is imparted in the present melange. Although a usual colorful, sprightly Ziegfeld production or big hole is noticed by those who have seen the same aggregation of talent when enhanced by the presence of the colored star.

Harry Wills is willing; Jack Kearns is afraid to say any more that he is unwilling. Dempsey, is the he in the problem and elfness are he in unwilling. Fight fans knew that Dempsey will have a real fight with Wills but Dempsey knows this better than any fan in the country. Dempsey, or any other professional fighter, has never drawn a color line. Dempsey, though, and a good many other fighters, have drawn imaginary lines against dangerous matches, and a match with Wills is sure dangerous to Dempsey's belt. Friend Dempsey, though, has and since recently he is reported as saying: 'I don't draw a color line and I have no objections to fighting Wills or any one else. Jack Kearns handles all the match making and if he matches me with Wills it will suit me as well as any other match. "As for Wills, he is a tough baby. I know all about that but I would not worry over meeting him. He has a good right hand but I think he has one weak spot and I think I can find it." His aim is no better than Fulton's. "He's a little bit shy. Wills will give this usual grunt, went on weeking—and smiled his—show, know! smiled Y'ah, we want to see a Wills Dempsey light. WHITE-COLORED FIVES WELL MATCHED IN GAME FLWOOD, Ind. Feb 20—The Hoos berg, colored five-lost a fast, going match with the Nash-Ellsworth mixed bucket ball squad with a score of 18-21. The teamwork of the white hens with sumpy, clean passing kicks, colored boys battled through most of the game. There was not a lucky break through the whole game for either team and the sores made 'were all worked for. Fans are chlamming for a return match. FIFTY MINUTES TO WIN FIELD BASKET B. GAME PITTSBURG. Feb. 21—In one of the fastest games ever witnessed by the Coffey live again defeated Leonard by a score of 23:20, only after both teams had coded the regular forty minutes of play in a tie score of 22:20. Basketball has been given a dig to boot by this game. Although there were some charges of favoritism made against referee Baird, the majority of the spectators claim of have seen nothing but two fast, well matched teams in a game where buck favored one, team a bit more than the other. Leonard's defense was perfect and her dribbling tactics for a while had the Coffey Club in the game. In the final minutes of post game play, though, the winning club displayed a bit of dazzling speed which took the game. J. Rouring, of Penn State ran first in a two minute indoor race, at Ruffalo last Saturday. Earl Johnson ran a clic on an eight lap track.

He also played in the Havana team who the Brooklyn and Memphis teams not them here a mere time ago.

KULL It's bigger and better than "WINNERS of the WEST" You'll See It First At The RETINA THEATRE Starting March 12 Seven Good Ways To Help' The Editor Of A Newspaper A Tip For All Who Would Aid But Do Not Know How Osage City Free Press. First of all give him the NEWS, he wants it. Give it to him though names it. Do not get into the paper. He doesn't tell you why some pieces of news are not used; but ten to one he has perfectly good and impersonal reason. Give him the news even the one may not be especially interested in it. Some folks never think about their news except when they are concerned in it one way or other. Second, don't give him a piece of news and tell him you want it printed just as it is written. There is a light and a wrong way to do even such a simple thing as writing an article for a country paper. One editor had to leave town because he printed every piece of news just as it was handed in spelling, punctuation and all—printed it with the name of the person who gave it in. Third, don't try to play a joke then unless you can explain it to the editor. Third, the type to look at a lot different and sounds different from a thing repeated by word of mouth, when the yokes, a facial expression and, a gesture, perhaps helps to show its meaning. Fourth, don't worry for fear the editor is making too much money; you should want him to be prosperous. He can, and will give, you a letter paper. He will be loss like the judge to compel you to answer over certain kinds of adertising. And anyway, he can't make a big fortune out of his paper he will be lucky if he keeps going. Fifth, be ready to tell your editor then something in the paper pleases you. Once in a while you tell your teacher he has a good sermon, so tell the editor something about his paper. Sixth, get your "copy" to him early.

ECHOES FROM WASHINGTON. As a kind of a resume of the situation as found around the "Legislative Relief" headquarters at Washington, a correspondent for the Associated Negro Press finds that Link Johnson and his gang are beginning to realize fully just what little influence they really have with the leaders of the Republican party and the real thinking men and women of their own race. The conduct of those, who had charge of the Republican campaign at Chicago in 1920, is now being repudiated by those who intimated the work in the hands of those so-called leaders. It is said that the party leaders feel that those who were in charge of the Chicago headquarters were well, and some of them over, paid for their services, and that those who are blowing about their "service to the party" are only fooling themselves. With such plain spoken words, we are inclined to agree with the correspondent, and say it is time for these fellows to see themselves as others see us.1em. So far a, we are concerned we can't but see that the actions of the party, aides, a refusing to recognize those fellows, as the only logical conclusion. The only regret we have in the matter is that the pace will suffer some because such men as Link Johnson and Phil Brown were placed in positions of trust at Chicago. Of course, Phil Brown saw what was coming a year ago, and when others were talking about "Relief Headquarters" Phil Brown wils begging his boss for a job and he got it before the crash came. Time will tell a wonderful story to those who have the patience to wait just a little longer. The people must know who the real leaders are. In all the arguments against the anti-lynching bill which is now before the United States Senate, we have as yet to hear anyone say that, a sheriff or any other peace officer did their duty in projecting their prisoner when a lynching occurred. Everybody knows that mobs are made up of cowards, and protected criminals. For the leader of a mob to walk boldly up to a sheriff or a jailer and demand a prisoner from the hands of the law, there are three things that he must have assurance of before hand. First that the sheriff or other officer is in sympathy with the mob and will not shoot; Second, that its acts will be approved by the county in which the lynching occurs; Third, that not one member of the mob will be prosecuted made to suffer the least for the part they play in a lynching. With these three strong points in the mob's favor, is there any wonder that lynchings for mere trivials are quite common in some communities in the South? We have never heard of a prisoner being taken from a sheriff or other peace officer that did their duty. Begging and persuading mobs is inviting an attack. With such conditions prevailing, there is absolutely no hope of ever putting an end to lynching unless the United States government takes a hand in the matter: He charged by some that the anti-lynching bill usurps state's rights, but the fact in the case is: the law will strengthen state rights. Its operation will be a strong arm in helping to enforce the State laws. RUNNING, TRUE TO FORM George S. Johns, editor of the Post-Dispatch, and Harry B. Hawes, his man Friday, have placed themselves on record as in favor of lynch law. No occasion for surprise in this. Hawes was born in Kentucky, and Johns is the son of a southern Presbyterian preacher. They are simply "running true to form"—The Censor. Yes, certainly, everybody who is opposed to an anti-lynching bill is in favor of lynching—no argument there. Henry Lincoln Johnson is the Republican National Committeeman from Georgia. If he is not looking for a job at Washington, pray tell us why he keeps "angling around up there". It's pretty good philosophy to say "We can," if we think we can. But we must remember that some fools think they can do anything. An inquiry into the cause of disaster-caused by the wrecking of the giant shiphip Roma. We think the inquiry will amount to just about as much as the twenty nine million dollars fine against the Standard Oil Company. The Disabled Veterans of the World War, 1917-1957 W. P. Press-Broadway, St. Louis, through four senior view commander, High Drakes, have completed a chapter of this active organization for the benefit of those veterans who received injuries during the war and must pay the many costs associated with the injuries. The injured soldiers in the securing of the passage of a truce of the Veteran's Burden by which no man or cooperation may have been denied an examination which will prove that the man has recovered something from his injuries. The Disabled Veterans have also assisted in adjusting the burden of the suffering suffered from delays in funding compensation and vacation. task of the Veterans' Bureau is one of the greatest ever attempted by a federal bureau. Thousands of injured service men, all of whom are sufferers, are needing federal assistance. To reach these men alone is a stupendous task. This task is greatly complicated by thousands of other men, who attempt to obtain benefits, which are used by law for war injuries only. This complication gives the Veterans' Bureau two huge tasks: to protect legally the war benefits, and at the same time to protect the government from illegal actions. Part of the that o' these huge tasks can be handled by certain disabled veterans. The Veterans' Bureau has a dedicated Veterans' Bureau organization as an asset to their work and it is a wonderful superior to the service disabled men to be a recipient of it. To those who are not interested in receiving federal assistance, the same time it is one of the certain roads, for men, who are not receiving proper attention, and are due them, to get what is coming. Disabled men should communicate at once, with either the Disabled Veteran or the Veteran's Representative, care St. Louis Argus. THE LONELIES You have no doubt read in The Star concerning the activities of "The Lone Lies," a locally group of men and women who have recently been organized at the Municipal Community Center, Grand and Vista Avenues. An article a day or two ago says that 445 men and women Saturday night. These young people own own particular clubs for dancing, art acrobat work, athletes, orchestra work. Do you realize that colored people may pay for the maintenance of this center? But, if you attempted to enjoy the activities there you would abandon a very cold receptacle down the hall, do you KNOW that there is NO unimpaired center for colored people? In our opinion, in times of depression such as, we are now witnessing the need for recreation for children and adults is greater than in normal things when they can provide for their own needs, however, poorly organized it may be. The immediate thing to do is for every one of us to write a letter to Hon. I W. Kiel, Mayor of St. Louis, and the Editor of the St. Louis Star Page of the St. Louis Star Press, locate a municipal community center located in your neighborhood, and write to it any way you may love the situation. We must learn to clamor intelligently for the things which concern us test as other groups in our community do. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Person who sent a letter signed, M. Q.

NOTES Wheatley Branch Makes Statement of Its Wirs In The Community Women and Girls Receive Religion, Moral And Educational Training With Hope Like Surroundings. Wheatley Branch W. Y. W. C. A. celebrated its twelfth anniversary last month. The Association has demonstrated its right to empower force for a bigger, fuller life for the women and girls of our City. The equipment is second only to that of the larger eastern Association, but the largest gymnasium and swimming pool is the best staff of workers in the country. To the cavern observer, it does not seem possible that within so short a time such progress could have been made. The pool was $150, white for the last three years; the work has 'grown by leaps and bounds. The budget for 1910 was $10,145, while for the year just jotting $5,000 was spent in the work. Within the last two years, the demand for rooms was so great that Mr. Garrett had to quit. Mr. Garrett and was compelled to be lease the building at Washington and Harrison Avenue at a very heavy rent. The searing of this building required the hiring of a dedicated girls and a splendid cafeteria. Wheatsley Branch is a very vital force in this community, as shown by the work accomplished within last year. In the Employment Office, 4323 calls for work, 1405 applications for help, reveal the fact that 1253 persons were placed in jobs. A large feature of their work is among the industrial services, hospitals and shores, where they organize the girls in clubs for education, educational and physical development. A large summer camp has been connected for the last two seasons where fledged mothers and children may spend a week in a desirous district girl spend her week away. A well equipped school of short hand and typewriting where cosmetic English, letterwriting and writing are taught is conducted at the "Girl's Work Department takes in girls from twelve to eighteen including the High School girls. 4033 girls used the building taking advantage of the grim situation, swapping rooms and other equipment. The Prairie Bands form a large, part of their program. 4478 persons took part in these departments last year. The Dontory family a long folk tale in this city. Wheatley housed 851 students last year. The Cafeteria attends one more place for our women and girls to go where they may be surrounded by the best St. Louis is proud of Wippey Branch and will rally to the support of this worthy institution. $N_0$ race can'rise higher than its women so lets give a long pull, a strong pull, a strong pull, and wading Branch over the lake. Mr. Chas Creath's Jazz (Mason) are assuring you an enjoyable event at Spring Dance Festival. In Paramount Bofe, Wednesday, March 15 at Pritchard Hall. Imperial U. 6. Big business, as was inevitable, appears to be challenging the United States. Next, to the disgrace of lynching the disgrace of our country's rape of Matthi and 'Santo Domingo, is to assault us. Some leading American leaders, including Senator Perlallam, the game which England has played to the world's cost in various poorly defended countries. Big Business is necessary to the prosperity of a modern state but big business must be regulated. Federal enterprise, regardless of the scale, is the only enterprise that can legitimate enterprise is not good for us. No business on earth is big enough to challenge the homelike name of the United States of America. Propaganda Colored folk should know more about the power of propaganda than any other race. Certain Southern white men have proven themselves past masters of it moulding the world's views and cultural identity. The rub of the thing is that the sixty-year-old southern race propaganda has been so enormously effective that it has convinced many colored folk that it is truth. We are learning though. Since Lord George had a conduction fit at the danger of France in 1815, the color of the colonists, we can see clearer where race propaganda started. It appears since that it is not our blood that is feared but the power of possible colored amides. India's Regent Ghampal and the Hindu people are showing imperialism the very heart of colony folk. oppressed people of India know less about war than oppressors. War is for fools—peace for wise men. Also war is an effect, profits are the cause of India's revolt, is hitting the cause of war, and removing it. 'It is probable that powerful Englishmen will see possibility of greater freedom in a free India than in a non-co-operating India. Great Britain The 'British Empire is receiving daily news from all our countries, as is the case in India, and is forced by rushing the souls and bodies of millions of people for profit to a few is defined to fall before the progress of civilization. At home consequences. Englishmen are assuring government for engaging in and fostering the opium trade. Abroad the English colonies are restless. Canadians with an indulgence in the opium trade are making the only tie with British Egypt grown tired of British brutality. India in open revolt, China restless. It appears that the iron hand is growing rusted. What is this to you? May be asked by residents — Nothing else matters. I think Colored Yolk being three fourths of earth's population can not 'be submuted except by strongly held centralized armed power. Great Britain is the world leader in Imperialism and successfully won the disaffection With the disaffection of the British Empire there will be bound to three some colored powers in addition to established Japan. A few dark skinned world powers will stick a pin through the propaganda-built idea of nationalism and calling held in United States meetings, meet our full responsibilities in civilization and teach our proper share of the 'rewards. All these things together mean a practical permanent world peace. Anything less than a destruction of false earthly powers, even a continent continued wars are not continued sets back to advancing civilization. Exploded. Dream As thirteen stand in the world now, it appears that we will have to depend on something like the brethren of Britain to realize our dreams. The dream of a *colored* African Empire goes to have lasted. When India and Egypt get through with England, to try to make it work, that John Fulll will be ready to sit down, table his cards, stop fluffing and play a squint game with colored folk, yellow, brown and black. Democrat America will follow Great Britain's lead in racial affairs, never fear. In the meadow watch, the vote on the Dyer Bill and the colored vote next election.
