SENATOR BORAH IS FIGHTING FOR LYNCHING BILL Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. Mar. 8.—I am convinced that the National government should step in and take a stand against the wrong of lynching. Thus spoke Senator William E. Borah, Republican of Idaho, in an interview for the Associated Negro Press. Senator Borah by being appointed chairman of the subcommittee of the judiciary committee of the Senate, having charge of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, assumes the most outstanding position in the onward march of the civil rights movement, the days of the "Missouri Compromise." There is no question in the minds of those who have discussed the appointment of Senator Borah as chairman of this committee that will lead the fight for the anti-lynching bill, that if the Senator believes in it, there will be action. Continuing, Senator Borah said: "There are two things that I would have you tell the people of your race: First, I wish to be satisfied that the law is Constitutional. I have sworn to uphold the constitution of the United States; therefore I cannot ask to have a law passed that I know is unconstitutional. If the law is unconstitutional, I will fight it. I will go even further, if there should develop in my mind a reasonable doubt as to the constitutionality. I will then support it and let the courts decide. "Second in the matter of hearings. I think for the most part, they should be directed to the constitutional phase of the subject. The hearings should not be long drawn out. I do not think that necessary, they should be brief and to the point. "The best informed persons should be agreed upon for spokesmen, and besides oral statements, better still, briefs should be prepared for presentation to the committee." Abed when a date, would be set for the hearings. Senator Borah replied that he could not set a date yet, but would do so at the earliest opportunity. He spoke of his interest in the poultry treaties, and other measures that are before the Senate, and declared that ample announcement for the time of the hearings would be given.

C, Daily News on February 28, 1922, which says editorially: "Lynchings take place in North Carolina, except in the very rarest instances, whenever and wherever a mob has sufficient leadership with it to undertake them. And Governor Ionn knows it. And the trash and of course, mob bosses make up the personnel of those with lambus murder-gangs most-often are neither friends, nor relatives of the outraged persons, and Governor Morrison knows that. What friends or relatives either of the out-raged persons or of his excellency, who speaks into the mob, mob bosses, broke into that Charleston House, lynched that wounded Negro? He doesn't know nor does anybody else. What friends and relatives of the Lerlys, broke Into Rowan jail while Judge Long was there with a governor's high commission to hold a court, took six Negroes from the jail, and without interest enough to wear pants for the brute faces of the several executioners, and got away. with it while Judge Long, Congressman Haminer, Congressman Klutz, and United States Senator Overman, Sheriff Uman, 13 Special deputies and the Lerlys Hifte looked interested by on!." Senator Overman is reported to be bitterly opposed to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bijh Honorable £. M.

The intention of, of Hale Willis brought out that he was born in Pickens County. Abi, a slave in the Gore family, his master being Thomas. The pastor told him to Mingus at an early age and they were near Holy Springs when the Indians were moved out of that county. It is a fact that the main Chicawan godus was in 1818. Hence if the old gentleman is correct in his statement, he was a half host in Alabama when the star was born when the Indians moved, he could be close to 180 years old. Uncle Willis sure that he is one of a family of 12 brothers and sisters all by the same mother, and that he is the father of his children by the fire wives he had.

Real Histrionic Ability Displayed In 'Everywoman' The problem play, "Everywoman" given by the Board of Management of the St. Louis Colored Orphan Home at the Odeon last Wednesday night demonstrated particularly that St. Louis has remarkable histrionic ability. Also one of the largest audiences of colored people we have seen lately demonstrated that our people here truly appreciate a high degree of artistry. Mrs. W. C. Bridges as "Plattery" us as being particularly good as did Miss Anita Williams as "Poggy O'Nell". Walter Giles as "Nobody" handled a difficult part very creditably, by his clear-enunciation and impressive manner giving meaning to many scenes which without his explanation would have evans as "Conscience" rendered Gerald Tyler's "Heart of Fancy" and other selections superbly. If the chorus of "Everywoman" were all white girls Ziegfeld's scouts would have been back stage with blank contracts long before wonderful. Mrs. Maezy Rose Dorsey has proven herself capable of making excellent use of local talent. Every member of the cast deserves credit for their showing. The managers of the Orphan's Home, in addition to serving well a very worthy cause have given the Louis public the best portraits of a life problem we have seen. This Week This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo. W. Buckner The Board of Education is now making its campaign to maintain the present school tax and is basing its criteria for support on "The Appeal to Self-Interest. The Appeal of - Childhood. The appeal to City Pride. and the Reasonableness of the Board's Request." The portables (small buildings) on the school grounds) now care for 4,857 pupils. There are also other irregular groups, school corridors, and half school seats. The total number of pupils thus accommodated, or rather unaccommodated in 6977? This is the general situation all citizens face today. What are the facts concerning the Negro schools? Too bad indeed that we must make a racial issue out of a purely civic matter. Summer, Bannallons, Lincoln, and Dumbo Daughters either have portables or are constructed, or both. Nummer now in, or to be exact is not, a grade school, a junior high, and a high school. Facing such conditions the question of how the Negro should race is not to lightly considered. The argument here is that portables should be present from age 6 to 80 cents, is founded from age 81; (4) to new school buildings have been specified for Negro children; there is an intention to increase such specifications. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,MARCH 10,1922 POLITICAL MASS MEETING WANTED Break Between Administration Forces Threatening Senatorial Honors, Big Factor. REPRESENTATIVE MOORE PLANS CALLING MEETING REPRESENTATIVE MOORE PLANS CALLING MEETING Will Discuss Politics Affecting The Race. Leaders From Different Parts Of State Ready For A Gathering. CONVENIENT PLACE WILL BE SELECTED Special to The Argus: JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. March 7 Every move on the part of state officials, here is watched with unusual interest. No one seems to as to the game he is playing. A break is threatening in the administration forces which is becoming more apparent daily. The investigation of Hackman's office and the whispering about superintendent Baker in connection with the Lincoln University land deal is also finding its way into politics. Some talk is heard of the Senatorial honors about the Capital City, and while State Senator Proctor of Kansas City, has seemingly incurred the delinquency of some of the administration forces, yet he is generally regarded as a strong favorite with many of the leaders. These are those however of the "Old Guard" who are ready to match their steel against any opponent of City S. Diekey of Kansas City. And while the Dickey has not announced his candidacy for the Senatorial honors, those who are close to him say he is sure to be a candidate, and adds that he is a "sure" winner. - Negroes Interested "The Negro political leaders of the State are saying but little about the political situation, but as one expressed it, "they are thinking deep." Some political significance is seen in a recent visit to the Capital of Rep. Jackson, where he was panied by J. E. Mitchell of St. Louis. Their mission could not be learned, but it is understood that they had several brief conferences of a political nature with several leaders. A "feeler" In the form of a letter has been sent out from St. Louis, suggesting a conference of race leaders. A recent future to discuss politics. A popular response is quite noticeable. Meeting of Leaders Hon Walthall Moore, who seems to be leading the forces, admitted that he is planning to call such a meeting, but said complete plans had been made with regard to time and place. Whether the Moors "troubled waters" on the political horizon which is threatening the G.O. P. ship in the State, he would not admit. But its a well known fact, that the Negroes are not so well fitted with the treatment some of the State officials have given the race. No Patronage Discussed Wherever politics are discussed, much dissatisfaction is expressed with regards to patronage. The office of Secretary of State, Chas. U. Becker is the target of attack. It may have shown that the office jobs, and special work that the office commands, not a Negro is employed. Representative Mpore, when asked whether jobs would be discussed at the proposed meeting, said that jobs were not the uppermost thing in his mind. But he supposed that the whole political situation, would be fully aired at the meeting. He said that the tax was fully ripe for such a meeting as matters affecting the interest of the race in the State should be discussed. repeated promises of relief have not been fulfilled. In reply to the first objection it may be well to ascertain how we can expect to secure new buildings if we reduce the present tax. If we have not got enough then the present tax may be reduced, but not the present tax is lowered. Matters will simply be made worse. Congestion will become more acute and present facilities will be much curtailed. As to the second objection, promises unfulfilled, the public should know if the Board of Education has ever been asked by a representative committee or group of citizens for certain specific thing, which have not been granted. To secure proper recognition from any organized body, that body must be petitioned. The needs of the Negro school children should be presented in writing and verbal form directly to the Board of Education, take the superintendent of Education, taking matters over among curriculums books us little. Those in authority must know and feel our thoughts. PITTSBURG MAYOR APPOINTS A COLORED WOMAN STENOGRAPHER Associated Negro Press.

Charles Young Associated 'Negro Press, White House Washington "It is a pleasure, which indeed I count a duty as well, to testify my very high opinion and regard for Colonel Young. "A graduate of the West Point Academy, he spent his life in the army, serving with real distinction. My recollection is that although he had been retired some time before the United States entered the World War, he promptly tendered his services and was greatly distressed because they were declined because of his age and physical condition. "Colonel Young was a credit to the service and a distinguished honor which he canceled a more in the World War carried its full part and acquired itself with almost credit. It is highly fitting that you and your associates should pay him a tribute of respect, and affection. Very Sinceely General Of The Armes, Washington. In connection with the Memorial Services which are being held to honor the memory of the late Colonel Charles Young, I wish to commend his exemplary life as a splendid example to the other members of his rags.

Colonel Young Believed In The Ultimate Triumph Of Brotherhood Of Man Colonel Young Believed In The Ultimate Triumph Of Brotherhood Of Man BY MRS. ADD MILL YOUNG XENIA, Ohio, March 6. — "Colonel Young believed in the highest possibilities for the art and the capability for Merlin this day and thus operation organization and patience. Yet Instinct on things that are right but, never losing sight of the love of country; in best institution and its highest ideals.

Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. G. Mar. S. Sunday, March 12th; from Crisis Attacks monument in Boston, to the Golden Gate in San Francisco; from the Lake washed shores of Chicago to the swamps of Florida, homage will be paid to the memory of the Concineal Charles Young. There has never been in the history of the race, a more spontaneous awakening to an act of apprehension. The mingled emotions of sorrow and determination will be released from the hearts of a mighty people, and centered about the cherished memory of a fallen hero. At the close of all of the services, audiences will stand with their faces to the East, while a bugler sounds the saloon notes of taps. There will be firewrell to Charles Young, but with it will be a rededication to the ideals of justice for which he lived and died. There has been expressed the desire of the family of Colonel Young that at some later date the body should be brought to America. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who was a close friend of the late Colonel, has just returned to New York, where he conferred with Mrs. Young and the Colonel's mother, Captain Henry O. Atwood, who was with the Colonel in his last days, has just returned from Wilberforce, where he performed the saloon duty of taking the last words of the departed to the beloved wife and mother. It has been learned by the Associated Negro Press that it was an expression of wish of the Colonel that his remains be cemeteryed. This would not be the case. The saloon will be ultimately carried out or moved to America and in lieu of a country city of the saloon district in the founding ground of Wilberforce, or at Somersville. Thus the Colonel's wishes have been fulfilled. A Square Deal For Every Man ORDERS AND HONOR COL. YOUNG SUNDAY Services At Central Baptist Church. Uniform Ranks K. of P., A. U.

Another big William Fox production "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" comes to the Concert Theater next Thursday and Friday. It is a film version of Mark Twain's funnelest Book. This thriller please any audience, especially those who have read Mark Twain's famous story—and who has not? It for the many—incomeguities—when for its share "The Yankee" surrounded by armored knights and ladies—costumed in the period of King Arthur's court, talks about Yale locks, "tin-lizies" and time clocks—there is always a hearty laugh. Great care has been taken in staging the production and the minstest details have been followed. The action never lags and the fun is fast and furtous. This Sunday, The Gomet will present "The Sky Pilot" Perhaps the most spectacular scene deplets a cattle stampede in which 4000 head of cattle are pictured in a mid ornash toward the helpless figure of the little ranch girl who has been thrown from her horse. How the bravery of the sky pilot averts almost certain death for the girl is a scene that will be permanently retained in the memory of more men. On July, the feature will be "The Lake That Has No Turning." The scenes of the story are laid in Canada and the heroine is a young bride who sacrifices her career as a singer to remain with her husband who is suddenly deformed. There is an abundance of thrills in the development of this story. The story of ancient Rome and modern New York, "Madonna and Mei" will be presented at The Pendleton Theater Sunday and Monday. "The lust for plensure is shown in all its startling realism and the surprising scenes in this great picture have never been equaled. One sees the Roman Coliseum, the Roman amphitheater, and the sacrificing of the Christian Martyrs. Then in the man and medieval part of the story, the prominent William Wainwright and the dressing rooms of the mansion show favorites as well as the homes of the millionaires are all brought before the beholder's eyes in a bewildering spectacle never to be forgotten. Wilfam Fox's big spectacle "Queen of Sheba" will be repeated on Tuesday and Wednesday to satisfy popular demand. This Thayer could not hold all the people who came to see the previous presentation. Wallace Reid will be featured in "The Hell Diggers" on Thursday and Friday. "A Connecticut Yankee" "At the End of The World"And "R. S.-V. P."

Copyright, 1912, Western Newsman United. LESSON FOR MARCH 12 AMOS WARNS ISRAEL (TEMPER- ANGE LESSON) LESSON TEXT—Amos 6:1-4 GOLDEN TEXT—Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whoosher is deceived thereby is not wine—Prov. 6:11. 12. 22; 28:1-13; Heeses 4:11; Gah-Sib-11-2 PRIMARY TOPIC—God Sends Amos on an Errand. JUNIOR TOPIC-A Prophet Who Was INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC The Consequences of Self-Indulgence YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Social Evils Yet to Be Conquered. The kingdom of Israel reached a high state of prosperity in the time of Jerubah II, and with it came a condition of luxury, corruption and wickedness. The judgment woe of this lesson is directed against the sins of the upper classes in Samaria. The same sins are peacefully in America, in the nation and in the church. With the increase of wealth in America has come luxury, corruption and gross wickedness which staggers the imagination. It behooves all to give a lifelong ear, for God will eventually enter into judgment. Our lesson in a temperance lesson. Temperance applies to other things than indulgence in interexisting ones. Our age is intoxicated with this punishment of gain and selfish ambition. Lackless security (v. 13). They were blind to the perils that surrounded them. They were living in a fooly paradise, closing their eyes to the approaching storm of judgment as predicted by Anno. They trusted in the mountains of Samaria for their protection. They regarded their city as impregnable. They no doubt regarded the utterance of Anno as impracticable—the dreams of a fanatic. The tragic thing about this blindness on the part of the chief ones of the nation was they were so puffed up with pride that they failed to read the signs of the times in the light of history (v. 2). The cities of Calais and Hannah though great and mighty, and fallen. To disregard the lessons of history, to dismiss the thought of impending judgment, is to bring near the "seat of violence" (v. 3). Let chaotic Europe and Russia be the red lights of warning to America, and let all injustice and class selfishness be told aside. 11. Luxury (v. 4-6). The luxury of these upper classes in Samaria expressed itself in 1. Extragrant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of ivory—perhaps wood inlaid with ivory. Dotty as their furniture was made of fine marble, as compared to some of the expensive furniture and fittings in our great cities. 2. Lainness (v. 4). They stretched themselves upon their cochies—lived living, of indolence. Such is the way of many still. 2. Fitted on delicacies (r. 4). The implication here is that they had their delicatess out of season. This is what mishy of the rich pride themselves in. 4. Adorn their feats with music (r. 1). They sang lil' songs—even invented musical instruments for this purpose. They pronounced the noble art of music to their adorned feats. 5. They drank (r. 1). They drank with admirable drinking vessels. They drank from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. They were no mastered by the intoxicating cup that their feats which were adorned with the refinements of music ended in drunkenness. III. Failure to govern for Jesus (v. 9). Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Manasseh, his two sons. Ephraim became the principal tribe of the northern kingdom, so Joseph is used as a synonym for the nation. The upper classes were included in these贬辱 luxuries, entirely indifferent to the greedings of the masses. And whenever a condition exist in a nation there is used of Amos, to thunder Gods judgment upon those who are guilty of it. IV. The inviolable laurel (vv. 1, 8). 1. They shall go into captivity (v. 7). The northern laurel was first in sin, thosewise first to go into captivity.

WOODMEN The idea of organizing a Fraternal Benefit Association combining the essentials of insurance and fraternism; to be offered. In a modern up-to-date manual, accordance with the strict laws of the Insurance Department; and for the protection and benefit of Negroes, was conceived by John C. Kennedy. With the assistance of Edward E. Lake and John K. Shiram he set himself to the task of working out the plan of organization. The preliminaries were accomplished and requisitions for incorporation and charter were submitted early in the year 1901. In Apell of this year articles of incorporation were approved and certified and charter issued in accordance with the laws of the State of alorado. Thus came into existence an institution destined to become the strongest of its kind and one of the most influential economic benefactors to the race. The organizers, as might have been expected, filled with enthusiasm because of the unique features of the then new organization, launched out in the insurance field feeling certain that nothing but success stood in their pathway. They labored hard and earnestly from the very start. The first two or three years showed reasonable progress, but the years 1944-1955 were years of reverses and the organization struggled for mere existence. Indeed, a conference was called at the close of 1905 for the purpose of deciding whether to dissolve or move the society with a stronger institution whose success was already assured. At the meeting there were those who argued that five years of incessant labor should be sufficient experience to demonstrate whether the enterprise could be successfully operated and, in as much as there had been no progress during the past two years, and that the institution at that time was unable to meet its obligations common sense and good judgment dictated that one of two actions should be taken: other dissolve or merge with some organization. But John C. Kennedy then the Supreme Clerk argued that if given a fair trial he was considered. It would succeed. After considerable discussion the question: "Shall we merge with some other institution or continue to operate on an independent society?" was put and the vote was for merging and three for independenc. It was then up to chairman C. H. Parker, to cast the deciding vote. The Chairman stated that in as much as the Supreme Clerk, John C. Kennedy, had from the beginning borne the major part of the responsibility and had contributed more time and energy to the welfare of the order, than any one else, and was still willing, notwithstanding the reverses and apparent failure, to give the institution a further trial, he was constrained to vote the opinion of Mr. Kennedy and consequently, cast the deciding vote in favor of continuing the society as an independent organization. And so, the American Woodmen was given a new lease on life only to be again challenged a few years hence. The management left this meeting pledged anew to the tremendous rew with mingled hopes and fears, yet sponsibilities that confronted it and determined to bring success to the order. With a new program outlined a vigorous campaign for the purpose of increasing the membership which meant a corresponding increase in finances and prestige was carried on continuously for another five years, at the close of which the total membership was less than 2,000; total assets less than $8,000 and prestige far below par. Ten years of reverses and the veteran Kennedy and reluctantly the veteran Kennedy and reluctantly the task was too great and signified his willingness, which was concurred in his associates, to give over the reins of management to those of an indomitable will and everlasting aggressiveness so that the American Woodmen might survive—and survive it did. And again in 1910 we witness the call of a second special meeting to decide the fate of Woodcraft so far as Negroes were concerned. To In the deliberations of this second meeting Mr. C. M. White was invited, attend the conference and take part in here appropriate to say that Mr. White had served as local clerk of one of the largest camps since the time the organization was chartered and consequently had acquired much information which fitted him in a very large manner to help in deciding the course to be taken at this time. The deliberations lasted for a full week, near the close of which the situation appeared hopeless and in last effort to solve the problem. Mr. White was reminded to accept the THE BROOKLYN PRESS and designated A. R. Sanders; Vice Supreme Commander; G. 'W. Norman, Supreme Banker; L. H. Lighner, Supreme Clerk; J. 'C. Eusan, Supreme Auditor; S. A. Rutherford, Supreme Sentry; W. M. Lee, Supreme Prelate; Watchman; D. 'J. Simpson, Supreme E. W. D. Abner, Supreme Physician and Samuel Eustace, Supreme Escort. It is doubtful if any of these men in the outset fully realized, the services responsibility they had assumed; but having faith in their leader and confidence in their ability and visualizing the unlimited possibilities for the institution they resolved committed themselves to their inevitable task. When this change of administration took place, the institution had been in existence ten years; however, its opinations extended only over three states: pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. The bequest of the new administration was a membership of less than 2,000; assets of less than $8,000; a field force of one organizing deputy; and office force of one clerk; one typewriter; one desk; one table and the idea of a Praternal Benefit Association. The first few months of the new administration were months of readjustment. The construction of a new program, the execution of which would bring about the desired results was undertaken. It was readily realized that the fundamentally need was an adequate field force. In order to supply this need, the Supreme Commander, Hon. C. M. White assumed personal control of the extension work and left the management of the home office, the general correspondence and the keeping of the records to the Supreme Clerk, L. H. Lightner. At the close of 1911, the first year of the new administration, a very commendable gain in membership was made. Encouraged by that gain, the management threw itself unreservedly into the work and each succeeding year was rewarded with gill further galas. At the close of 1915, the first five years of the new administration, the membership had been increased from 1,840 to 1,750 and the assets had been increased commensurately. At the close of 1920, the second five years of the new administration, the membership was approximately 60,000 with a commensurate increase in pet assets, and instead of one field worker and one office clerk is now giving employment to hundreds of capable women and men of the race. Think of it! This spendid achievement in the brief span of ten years! The years 1918 and 1919 are known in insurance circles as test years, for in these years the ravaging epidemic of influenza held sway and put many organizations out of existence. The American Woodmen came through unshaken and today, instead of being confined to five states is operating in 22 states and the District of Columbia. Its influence reaches as far north as Michigan; as far east as New Jersey; as far south as Texas; and as far west as Colorado. Applications for admittance to the states of California, New York, Massachusetts and N. Carolina are being filed. Today the American Woodmen stands in the first line as one of the strongest organizations in the country having an actuarial savency, of nearly 104%, practically 14, per cent over and above the statutory requirement. A rating that is enjoyed by a very small number of societies. A man seated at a desk, writing or reading, in a room with a fireplace and framed pictures on the walls.

SLAUGHTER GAMBLE Clerk, Camp No. 15, of St. Louis EXAMINERS FIND AMERICAN WOODMEN IN HEALTHY FINANCIAL CONDITION Immediately following the convention in August, examiners representing the states in which the American Woodman operate conducted a most thorough examination of the affairs of the society. In fact, the most thorough the organization has ever undergone. These examiners found the society in the most healthy financial condition and were unstinted in branding it as the leading Fraternal Society among Negroes. The actuary for the examiners found that the society had a valuation of nearly 104 per cent (103.99%) or four per cent above the legal requirements 2578 There is presented herewith a statement of the financial condition of the American Woodmen as found by the examiners together with their conclusions. There is also presented a statement of its financial condition on December 31, 1921. There is not the slightest doubt but that with the aid of every member, every officer and every deputy it will be possible within a short period to boost our assets beyond the million toward the million and a half mark, dollar mark and to be well on the way.

THE DOERS OF THINGS BRINGS SUCCEESS DESIRES OF BETTER CITIZENS NOW HAVE A CHANCE TO MATERIALIZE. James T. Bush, Supreme, Escort Spencer for a Great Move: "Are you Progressive or are you going to mark time?" THE HOME OFFICE of the American Woodmen, a Fraternal Insurance Co., will total assets, of over one million dollars is going to move. Denver, Colorado, the Home Office of the Woodman, with such a small population of Negroes, will be no longer able to retain this great institution. INDIANAPOLIS, Chicago, Philadelphia and other large cities are in the race to get the Home Office in their territory, for they know what a great asset it will be to their people, business and government. ST. LOUIS, also, holds an advantageous spot in the race. First, it will afford greater progress to the Home Office than any other city. It is far enough north for northern cities to claim it and far enough south for southern cities to claim it. BUSINESS AND property are here and wise and substantial investments of the Supreme Camp can be launched here, the minute they set foot in this territory. The Chamber of Commerce wants it here—churches, business and other societies want and needs it here. MR. C. M. WHITE, the Supreme Commander, in a recent talk here, said if St. Louis rolls up a 5000 membership here in the next sixty days they will have a mighty strong claim for the Home Office. Just think of it, 5000 out of a population of 70,000 to bring such an institution here—an institution paying $100,000, or more a year in salaries to our race—an institution, ready and willing to support a moral and financial interest of their race in any city, they go—an institution ready to help the sick, the needy, and the distressed. ONE-HALF MILLION dollars is now invested in real estate mortagages through the American Woodmen. This will be available to St. Louis if the Home Office comes here. THERE IS NO reason why, St. Louis should Hinch, but get to work and get the Order here. Ministers, business men, professional men and the laity—both men and women, should work as they never worked before in this Drive. FIVE THOUSAND members are a handful. There ought to be twenty-five thousand Woodmen in St. Louis. The more members means the more employment in St. Louis. An institution like this in St. Louis, will be a school and mother to business. BETTER CITIZENS want it here. To get it here means this only "JOIN." You join and get your friends to join. Such rates are given within the reach of all people; you will have a guaranteed life protection, you will receive from three to five dollars a week in sick benefits, you will know your neighbor—you will better your business and better your selves. This organization is opened to men, women and children. Let the St. Louis Slogan be "DON'T MARK TIME—JOIN THE AMERICAN WOODMEN." THE FIELD JOHN L. JONES Major General Uniform Rank Dept. MRS.

ONE DOLLAR is given for each new member brought in after you have joined. YOU CAN benefit yourselves by bringing in three of four members a month or even two in some cases, your dues will not cost you a cent. GOOD POSITIONS are offered to ardent workers. There is no work for nothing. BELOW ARE dyed in the wool facts and you can't go wrong. DON'T MARK TIME—JOIN THE WOODMEN. Uniform Rank And Juvenile Departments THE SUPREME CAMP OF THE AMERICAN WOODMEN Was organized in Denver, Colorado in 1901, by men who had given all their lives to the study of Fraternal Insurance. Right rates, methods and management were adopted from the start, a fact which has kept the Order from ever having to issue extra assessments or increase the burdens of its members in any way. It is based on the lodge system. Its locals being known as camps. Meetings are held at least once per month, when slick claims are adjusted and new applicants admitted and given the password and signs, much the same as any other fraternal society. Yet here are some of the features that make Woodcraft quite different from anything else you have ever known: First—Certificates range from $100 to $3,000. Second—Certificates increased or decreased at will. Third—All certificates carry accident, sick, burnt and death benefits. Fourth—All certificates graduated on an adequate rate. Fifth—All certificates guaranteed regardless of condition of local camp G₀ where you please, live where you please, your certificate is always good. Sixth—The Clerk of local camp is appointed and bonded by Head Camp, therefore local funds can never be stolen, or squandered to the detriment of camp or your policy. Seventh—N₀ initiation; simple, dignified obligation. Eighth—Rates the same every month. Never a tax or extra assessment of any kind. Ninth—All mortuary funds invested in bonds and used solely for payment of claims. Tenth—All claims paid in full and at once. THE SUPREME CAMP OR THE AMERICAN WOODMEN Issues a combined life and accident certificate to men and women alike, making it possible for the entire family to join the same camp, attend the same meetings and participate in all benefits of the Order. All certificates and accident benefits, as stipulated in the constitution, are sealed for four years, thus insuring the society against dishonest applicants and enabling us to maintain our law rates. This works no hardship on the honest member, for if he should die during the first year of membership more than two thousand per cent would be paid the beneficiary on the investment. OPERATING ON ADMIN Monthly assessments are as follows. These rates include all assessments what- Age $2.50 16-22 $8.85 23-30 -7.50 31-34 1.00 35-48 1.05 39-42 1.15 43-45 1.20 46-48 1.30 49-50 1.50 Uniform Rank MARIA THE MEMORIAL UNIFORM KANK AND JUVENILE DEPARTMENTS The regular joining fee is Ten Dollars, but a dispensation may reduce the amount. All members are allowed one month of grace before being without the pale of benefits. They are also allowed four months in which to revive certificates. We operate on adequate rates and maintain 100 per cent valuation as required by the Insurance laws. A minute examination of our books and management is made each year by the Insurance Department. Chartered by the State of Colorado and licensed in every state where colored population is sufficient to warrant. JUVENILE DEPARTMENT The Juvenile department of The Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen is operated very much the same as similar departments of other secret societies. Children admitted from 5 to 14 and given sick and burial benefits. Put your children in. It helps to beget in the young people a sense of their filial obligations. It helps to train them and give them the sort of education they cannot get in school or home. REMEMBER THE SUPREME CAMP OF THE AMERICAN WOODMEN is no new concern. It has stood the test. Operating since 1901 and every claim promptly met. Claims are paid in full from three to ten days from date of death or accident. In this age of hustle and bustle accidents are increasing at an alarming rate. You may be the next. Note on table below how handsomely The Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen comes to your relief in such cases. Don't let names confuse you. This is the only secret order extending real Woodcraft to colored people. Note the age of the Supreme Camp of The American Woodmen and also that it is National in scope. You may as well have the best. This society holds its charter and is incorporated under the laws of Colorado, where the Mobile Bill is in force, and whose insurance statutes are recognized as being the best in existence for the protection of the policy holder. 100 SOLICITORS WANTED Don't Mark Time—Join The American Woodmen.

Both of these workers are laboring earnestly and putting forth their best efforts to bring these departments up to the highest standard. Although quite young, the departments have splendid progress and a very commendable representation was made by the Juveniles and the Uniform Companies at the Supreme Camp meeting and Encompassment held in Denver during the month of August.

One hardship should teach us to prepare for another. The man who joins some fraternal order never is friendless. The foundation of fraternal societies is service to society. Inadequate insurance rates ring the death knoll of protection. Take out adequate fraternal insurance and old age will rest easy. The one friend who won't fail you is your fraternal insurance policy. In fraternalism, it's aid and not the aid which insures progressive growth. As a protection against a rainy day, man should have insurance as well as a job. The Good Book says: "Abide with me." The good fellow say. "Lodge with me." People judge us by what we have in dollars, property and future protection. The man who puts part of his earnings in fraternal insurance, seldom goes hungry. Being in a fraternal order is like being in the same boat with a bunch of good fellows. If the voming are to take care of the old, new policies must reimburse those about to drope out. He who pays regularly for the future protection of his family gains the respect of others. An engine needs constant lubrication, just as fraternal insurance needs an influx of new members. Gray hairs crave association and the support of others; the answer is, take out fraternal insurance now. We'd rather be a day laborer with a few thousand in fraternal insurance than to be a capitalist without any. A man of sparing words may have many thoughts, but may The Lord help the follow without fraternal associates. A man's worst enemy is his own disinclination to prepare for the future when youth' and prosperity are at hand. The fellow who's satisfied to get along without future protection for his family, may some day find his family homeless. Its a lot easier for many in common union to remove a stumbling block than the same number trying to move it individually. Standing for even a small fraternal benefit will accomplish more real good than being against the whole world. People dependent upon the protection of others cannot expect continued protection if they withdraw from the others. Rash things have been done on the spur of the moment; it takes time to sober and make one thoughtful and conservative. Aman who dosen't hear the alarm clock misses an opportunity; the one who does not heed the call of fraternal insurance misses protection. He was hungry and they fed him; homeless and they took him in; without cheer and they jolled him because he was a member of their lodge. For centuries the word SURRENDER has stood for DEFEAT. Even when qualified by the little adjective cush it still spells life same thing. There’s more comfort in knowing that your family will have warm clothing after you’re gone than in dressing in the gaudiest ralentm while you are alive. When you spend a dollar foolishly, its gone in a moment; when you put it in fraternal insurance, you give yourself an incentive to provide further protection. Said a gentleman to a young man making the hand of his daughter in marriage: 'Contract some debts first; buy property; take out fraternal insurance; put yourself under obligation to meet payments at regular intervals of time and you may have my daughter.' Thirty per cent of widows are in actual want. Don't let this be said of your widow. When you are gone, Guard against it by providing life insurance. 100 SOLICITORS WANTED Don't Mark Time—Join The American Woodmen. I A. B. V. GOSSIN Deputy, St. Louis --- M. H. L.
