Williams, of Jasper County murder farm, and sends Manning's case back to Newton Superior court for a new trial. Attorney Marin Underwood, who represents Manning, said that what he has not yet had yet to read the Court decision he will probable be ready to enter into a new trial of the case at any time. Solicitor General Lon Brand sees fit to sound it. There will be no effort made to take the case to another county, said Mr. Underwood, inasmuch as there is nothing whatever to criticise about the manner in which the trial was conducted in Covington. "Manning had a perfectly fair trial, the people of the community were high order, and there is no reason to believe that the other course than the new trial shall be there. The criticism in the case are wholly points upon which the Supreme Court has just passed," said Mr. Underwood. TOBIAS AT Y SUNDAY Mr. Channing H.

OKLAHOMA GOVERNER ISSUES ORDER AGAINST KLAN IN NAT'L GUARD Order Says There Is No Room For Them. One Officer Is Re- ceived From Duty. Associated Newspaper OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. May 3. Governor Robertson issued a general order stating there is no room in the Oklahoma National Guard for any officer or man who owes an allegiance to any power, secret organization or society that might become arraymed against the United States or the State of Oklahoma and its laws. The order is aimed against membership in the Klu Klux Klan. The order sets out that what purports to be proof has been furnished the governor and adjudant general that the guard holds membership in the Klu Klux and warms against surrendering allegiance to any organization that at any time may "require the services of the guard to suppress." "In such a case" it continues, "The guardmen would be crucified between the two allegiance. If there are either officer or men in the guard involved in any such organization, they must immediately forswear the organization or get out of the guard." The order was characterized by Governor Robertson as a "warning" of the growth of "any particular condition." Adj. General Charles F. Barrett, said that thus far only one officer has been directly involved in alleged Klu Klux Klan activities. He has been relieved from duty. SERVANTS REMEMBERED BY HENRY WATTERSON Journalist Wills.

SENATOR Indpendent Voters League Will Oppose Regular Republicans. 'Lily Whiteism' Is An Issue. Associated Negro Press NEWARK, N. J. May 3- For the first time in history of local politics, a Negro will seek the office of United States Senator on the Republican ticket in November. The Independent Voters League arrived at that decision in the closing hours of its annual meeting. The leaders admit they have no chance of electing a representative but believe it will interfere with the chances of the reduction of Senator Fredlinghysen. Negroes from every country in the state attended the meeting at Roswell Temple. It was estimated there were 200 present and only four favored Senator Fredlinghysen. Resolutions condemning the "white fly" policies of President Harding the infidleness of Senator Fredlinghysen toward the Negro and the stand of Congressman Parker in opposing the anti-lynching bill, were adopted. Rev. J. A. Roundtree of Trouton sought the endorsement for the senatorial candidacy, but the delegates agreed that the honor should go to an Essex County Republican. Rumors that Henry Ford, Mayor Hague and others were backing the Independents were denied. John T. Cheshire, who was a date in the Republican primaries, or Assembly Walter Darlen who ran on the labor legislative ticket, and scores of old-line G. O. P. workers were present. The declaration of Rev. Sylvester Corrothers that he is to deliver 77,000 Colored votes to Gov. Edwards as United States Senator candidate and that R. Romney of Tennessee enter the race for U. S. Senator to draw votes away from Senator Freedlinghyson caused Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City to issue this statement: "Odored men are just like white men. They are sure they will take to land jobs. While Senator Frelinghyson has not done all that the Colored voters asked him to do, he has done more for the colored voters than any other U. S. Senator that New Jersey has ever had." "Then too, there are other people besides Colored people whose interests must be looked after by the United States Senator. Those of us who have supporters for Freedlinghyson feed that make a good record. I do not believe that any right thinking man is going to be deceived by any person who narrates about the state claiming that he carries 37,000 votes around in his vest pocket." Dr. Cannon predicts Frelinghyson's reelection over Gov. Edwards by a large majority next November. Rev. Corrothers is head of the "Independent Voters' League."

MAY 5. 1922 TEXANS ATTACK A CONGRESSMAN FOR PRAISING NEGROES Newspaper Sarcasm Centered On Republican Who Addressed Mixed N. A. A. C. P. Audience At Washington. Associated Negro Press SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 3 newspapers and the democratic politicians here are attacking Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach, a republican who was elected in the landslide from this district last election because he addressed a mixed audience in Washington last week under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. where the congressman is alleged to have said some things complimentary to colored people. As soon as it was reported in San Antonio, that the meeting was to be held, Texas telegraphed to Washington and engaged special stepgraphers to attend the meeting and take down the speeches in detail. Congressman Wurzbach denies what he calls maliciously garbled misrepresentations and mis-statements of what he said and states the facts in the case area: 6 white men and women and Negro men and Negro women at the Colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. I am represented as having made statements that I never did make and with entertaining views that I never entertained in my life. I did not compare the audience I was addressing with a Gundalupe county Texas audience but did compare the colored people present with the colored people of Gundalupe county. I did not state that I was the only representative of the Negroes of the South" but did state that there were many Negroes of Texas and of civil living in Washington and employed in the departments, many of whom have their legal residence in Texas and that I had added them in various ways and that I was glad they looked upon me as their representative." I did state the Gundalupe county was the banner Republican county in Texas and I further stated that I ascribed some of my political success in the fact that while I held political offices in Gundalupe county I always tried to give all classmates including me a good hand to secure to them their political rights under the constitution and that probably as a result thereof I always had the loyal support of those classes. I did praise the loyalty of the Negroes during the late war. I did state that I had voted for the Dyer II known as the "anti-leaching bill" and gave my reason for voting and in this connection charged the Negroes of the county and especially of the South with the great responsibility imposed upon them of using their influence with the races to present the commission of crime of rape which engendered the mob spirit in the South. This infamous story was circulated for political purposes and to make use of the subject of ridicule and contempt. It was sent to Texas papers only and not a Washington newspaper carried a line of my speech. JACKSONVILLE PYTHIAN TEMPLE COSTING $250,000 IS NEARLY COMPLETED Associated Negro Press JACKSONVILLE.

Occasionally we go where music is present and that upon it. When you hear sweet music and is enchanted with song there is somewhat of the same kind of stimulating power to soothe the nerves and the spirit. Reverently we attended a lecture given at St. Pauls C. M. E. Church, 47th and Dearborn streets, Chicago, to hear the elaborate program of the session. Mr. Charles Satechle Morris, Jr. was to speak.

LEAGUE WOMEN VOTERS ANNUAL CONFERENCE Many, Notable Women From All Parts Of The World At Baltimore, Md. BALTIMORE, Md. May 2. The third annual convention of the League of Women Voters and the PanAmerican Conference field at Baltimore, Md. from April 29 to 29 was the biggest and most brilliant thing of its kind ever attempted. There was over 1500 women delegates in attendance. They came from 22 countries of the Americas the most brilliant array of color and intellect ever witnessed in America. Besides, there came as guest of the conference 29 representatives from student clubs, suffrage leagues and women's organizations and the country including wives of ambassadors and ministers at Washington and students from various colleges. No wonder the magnificent response, the idea beneath and back of it all was most important to a distracted world. The big purpose of increasing international friendliness. The Spanish American women simply captivated the Convention with their rare beauty, brilliant intellectuality, exquisite beauty and their service for the sanctity of the home. These women from all the Americas conferred in a series of six conferences about the status of their sex in their respective countries, compared notes on the progress of feminism and took heart from one another's progress. Some Spanish American countries reported wonderful advancement on educational, industrial and social legislation. Many social reformers with still striving for them. They might have come from another planet so little was known of them. Two outstanding characteristics of the Convention was, the extraordinary number of distinguished persons who took part and the number of pleasant entertainments scattered through a most wonderful program. For example "Washington Day" after a gay, round of entertainment in the National Capitol, teas, reception, motoring parties, luncheons. These are the speakers: Spect. Hughes, Senior Don Mathieu, Ambassador of Chile, Sir Aukunlid Geddes, British Ambassador, Lady Aster, M. P. and the Pan-American delegation.

Bishop Cleaves I Bishop Carter The Address Several Hundred Delegates tions To Be Considered. The Fifth Quadrennial Session of the General Conference of the C. M. E. Church convened Wednesday morning Mp 3 at La Trinitéade Church in this city with a larger delegation than ever has assembled in the history of the church. Bishop Robert S. Williams, Senior Bishop of the church, preached at the opening session. Quadrennial Sermon The principal feature at the opening session was the Quadennial Sermon delivered by Bishop Nelson C. Cheverson of St. Louis. It was a masterpiece and set the attention of the Conference at once upon the high points to be emphasized in the spiritual activities of the church. Among other things he said, "In our day many attentions is given to unchief and organization in the church, and this organization becomes more complex as the years go by. Organization is a necessity because of unchief and organization for life and activity find their purpose in pressions in organization. But it is not true that the tendency among us is toward over organization? Too much organization has about the same effect on the church as Saul armour had on David. In addition to being members and unwieldy, it is a waste instead of a conservation of energy. The Christian church is composed of many denominational groups and each group takes the form of an organization. These organizations may function in many respects as real progressive denominational bodies, they may kindly and maintain orthodoxy, they may dispense charities and may be head of an endurable work, but, unless there is head, recognized and honored, in all operations, no church is there. Buildings of brick and stone of magnificent proportions with towering steeples, with a host of followers, with great organs and chaining chairs, elocuent ministers and every chairman, of and may be called the church, but unless Jesus Christ is Head over all and in all, unless the worshippers are deeply conscious of His Holy presence, and unless they reverently do Him homage in every act of service there is no reason to doubt His presence in reality, it is dead. Whenever and wherever the church ablides in Him and acknowledges Him as its head, He is in the midst, to own and to bless Christ has laid upon His church the duty of speaking to the world about Him and for Him, to give His bless, to comfort it with His love. But the church cannot do this work unless it be in Christ and Christ be in it; unless it has, received of Him what He desires it to give to the world. It must have the things which it would give to others, or it cannot give them, so that he have peace love joy, blessing with his heart, and not seek shelter in it. He has laid upon the church to show Him to the world as Counsellor, as the Savior of mankind, as the Friend that sticks elocher than a brother. It was His meant to do the will of His Father in heaven, and it should be the mind of the church to live by the same rule to emulate Him in all things, to be what He would have it be, and do what He would have it do." The sermon made a lasting impression upon the Conference. **Bishop Carter's Address** The next important feature was the Quadrennial Address of the 'College of Bishops prepared and read by Bishop R. A. Carter of Chicago. It was pronounced by many to be the best message that has yet been prosecuted by the government under the College of Bishops. It paid a glowing tribute to the generals and achievements of the race and the loyalty of our people to the government under which they live. It deplored the discrimination perpetrated against our people upon the basis of racial prejudice, and re-emphasized the seldom note struck in the address before the M. E. Church in the church as well as two years when he said. 'This is not a white man's world.' Touching the church and world conditions the Message said. "It has been three years since the burgle sounded the armistice in the great World War it has been three years since peace was declared. Since then the world has been like a man who has been desperately sick with a dangerous fever. The fever has abated as the has passed, because he has begun, to the watchers at the outside that the recovery of the patient is exceedingly slow. It is well to remember, however, that recovery from serious illness is always slow in proportion to the gravity of the dis order. In every part of the world there is still confusion, strife, upheaval, crime, poverty, sickness, famine and death. Truely the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are still riding. Our country has not escaped the general confusion. His has lost to grip upon itself. There is no doubt of returning sinity and health in the world. Men have learned at last what a bitter cost war is made and are realizing that war is national murder. President Harding and Secretary Hughes did a wonderful thing to usher in the reign of peace and goodwill when they invited the great nations of the world to the disarmament conference in Washington last November. That conference has accomplished a great victory. A Square Deal For Every Man ON HERE IN HISTORY OF CHURCH ing Called To Order Wednesday op Robert S.

There the nations decided to scrap battleships, halt the building of new ones and stop the race for naval supremacy, which was but the breeding ground for future war. In that conference the nations decided to try the pancake for the lilies of humanity which Jesus of Nazareth brought to mankind, namely, trust and love and good, will. We claim that the teachings of the church thrust the centurions working like leaven have wrought this change in the thoughts and minds of the rulers of the people; for are the rulers of the people the highest of States, and the rulers of all western countries believers in the teachings of the Man of Galilee? It was thought and freely said during the war, that Christianity had broken down. It now appears that it functioned better than we thought, in that there was given to men the opportunity to contrast, on a great scale the way of settling national disputes by discussion and reason. It seen that the awful calamities which ensued during the war, and which have followed the war, have shocked mankind into a realization that the way of the prince of Peace is the best way. Many of the appeasers show that the drama of man's affairs is not a filament that "Nations shall best their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks" and the dread god of war shall be forever dehroned." Wednesday night A special feature of Wednesday nights session was the address of welcome on the part of the City by His Honor, Mayor Henry W. Keil. The delegates and visitors seemed deeply impressed with the words of the mayor. A feature of Thursday's session was the last contested delegations of the North Alabama Conference which resulted in a victory for Bishop Phillips faction.

"The best Mrs. Shelton has ever presented" were the comments of the large enthusiastic audience that witnessed "Gena" Mon, night Apr. 24. The deep thrilling plot cleverly interwoven with pathos and humor, with the beautiful gryp scenes, put this play on the stage. The actors have been selected before the play was written, so cleverly did the different parts fit each one. In the first place, little, Georgie Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Williams, 4500 Garfield as "Geen" was the little Star that made the play twinkle so, she looked to be about three years old. I judge she is about six. The child surrounded by an exceptionally strong cast, seemed perfectly at home on the stage and her little voice could be heard distinctly all over the auditorium. In stricken contrast to this child was Ernest Hutchinson who played the part of Neal Rosshand. One woman who played on the stage that he would play the Star Role. We have seen him in comedy and admired him, but his admirers were charmed and amazed to see the dramatic ability with which he portrayed his part Again and again he was given applause and in the final act, presented with flowers. Miss Gloria Shelton as Queen Tasetta, must have had a real gypsy charm as she proved herself to be a clever actress of rare, ability and seems to have won the distinction of being the prettiest and sweetest gypsy ever. Mr. Henry Wells who played the three detective role was exceptionally good showing perfect ease and graceful on the stage. And the other excellent ones, Wm. Office as Moffatt, Mr. Wilson as Mrs. Rosshand, the ideal wife and mother; Miss Neltie Green as Francha with her voice; Miss Dorothy Yashon as the mild, who made the play sparkle with wit and manure; Geo, Shelton as Gypsy John Forest Prutt as Snappy; the stollen children and the duet by the Shelton Brothers in the Gypsy scgee, all made the play leap over the top. Rev. C. A. Williams opened the program with prayer after which he introduced the St. Paul Stewardess and the St. Paul Form which made a beautiful setting for the play that followed. The St. Paul users assisted by those handsome Peerless Boys and rosebud, Melrose Girls handled the audience. SIMMS' CONCERT BAND Simms' Concert Band opened the season last Sunday afternoon at Pore Auditorium for the benefit of St. Elizabeth's. Church with a program that would be hard to surpass. There was never a concert rendered before a more appreciative, audience and Band Master Simms was bubbling over with pride Mrs. Zell Cole Evans, our leading prima donna, and the band's selections, forming the background were received with a great deal of enthusiasm. Father H. T. Schoetemeyer S. J. A. M. M. S. of St. Louis University made a very good and appropriate address as also Father Lynn, the pastor. The pianos was ably taken care of by Mrs. Etta Stanton, the organizer of Elizabeth's Band. The bold Tyler Lynam, the leading exponents in Music not only in St. Louis, but in the United States. The Young Ladies Sodality of which Miss C. M. Hudlin is president deserves great credit for gathering together our best for their concert. Watch for this band at the plenies.

They are therefore willing to bury their differences and unite their forces to win. There is no group of citizens who suffer from the lack of organization more than we. We are confronted with a condition in State and Nation under which no other group suffers, be they alien or citizen. The principal reason is because we are unorganized. When we stop and think for a moment, there is really little reason for our differences. Few, if any of us have opposed another for the franchise of the people. Not any of us have an appointed office that is worth falling out about. Most of our fussing" has been for the other fellow. If some of us would fight as hard for race men and women as we do for some of all the bosses, we all would be better off, no doubt. We all cannot be leaders. Some of us must be willing to follow, but we want fearless leadership; men and women who will stand upright and contend for right and justice for the people. The day of cringing and the Uncle Tom kind has passed. That kind of leadership only does our cause harm. According to reports in the daily press of the local Republican party have and agreed to support E. E. E. the Senatorial nomination at the caucus. While we are loath to believe state would undertake to force us man who is so undesirable or judging by the past, we should do actions.

What others think and say of what you think and do that count. SUPER-PSY Fourth Installment by Ralph E. Rowlett According to reports in the daily press of this City, the leaders of the local Republican party have "buried their differences" and agreed to support E. E. E. McJimsey of Springfield for the Senatorial nomination at the coming primaries. While we are loathe to believe that the Republicans of the State would undertake to force upon their Negro constituents a man who is so undesirable on their part as McJimsey, yet judging by the past, we should not be surprised with such actions. These are the same old tactics that have been played upon the Negroes of this City for years. That is, the party leaders have conspired to keep the Negro out of party councils and by so doing, have found it convenient to meet in their caucuses and select men and make their "slate" of candidates and bring them out, send out a few henchmen and tell the "boys" the men selected are the genuine stuff. They never take into consideration whether or not the men selected are objectionable to the Negro. Just as long as the Negro will stand for it this conition will continue. If we will sit idly by and allow any set of men to thrust such men as E. E. E. McJimsey down our threats we shall be unworthy of the name "men." Of course, we know if McJimsey runs for the high office of United States Senator and receives the backing of the bosses, the yes-sir-me-too boss Negroes are bound to support him. But he will never receive the support of the thoughtful and the masses for the nomination. Should the bosses by certain manipulations nominate Mc- Jimsey he is sure of defeat at the November election. We are unalterably opposed to any man for public office whom we have reason to believe that he is not right on the race question. We have no apology to offer for our position in a matter of this kind. Speaking as those who know, we will say that we as a group are weary of the methods used in selecting candidates.

WASHINGTON Washington is sleeping on the rim of a volcanic center. There is enough the smoothier dances of lawfulness in this country, if only tamed into activity to blow our Government up. The purpose of the Dyer Bill is to fight free at its source. Lunchtime is gently the tinder and match of lawfulness. Tara the host on this evil, and all the other evil will be weathered. The Negro race has not mobilized its forces to fight this evil as a man. We have all debt too much to the N. A. X. C. T. No more organization is necessary to compose honesty to create the ambition necessary to have the Saint pass the Dyer-Bill. Moreover, this is a national measure of such import that all full-fledged American citizens ought to be counted on to give it their unqualified support. There is no anarchy and in difference to this measure in our press and pulpit. Can we not shake these sentimental making agencies to take our antagonist stand for the good of America. As a race suffering the most from the evils of lynching, we surely do not realize as we ought that with a Republican administration, with a large majority in both the House and Senate this is a reasonable time to elect such legislation. But Bill Falk now, will tell when such an opportunity will present itself again. We want to believe that the Republican Party, to which our race has always given its allegiance, purposes in its Heart to reclaim its platform pledges. We would like to think that for even sentimental reasons this party with its reputation of humanitarian feeling, would not fall us now. How ever, the acid test of our friends is not party blinds, but support of the Bill. The friends of this Bill are our friends. The enemies of the Bill are our enemies. We are the awakened consciences of our race will surely relake those who have deserved us when we most needed friends of Watchington. With one voice let us try to wake up Washington, let our press, publi and people remove the wax from the ears of Washington, so that the Republican Party, may know without any shadow of doubt, that we expect this administration to pass the Dyer Bill, Boston Chronicle.

ADAMS TO DEBATE WILKERSON CHALLENGES PROF. ADAMS TO DEBATE Young St. Louis Takes Exemplon To Statement Made By Learned Professor Concerning, Negroes, Wants The Public To Judge. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 3—John Diamond Wilkerson, a senior in the law department, Western Reserve U. of this city has recently written a letter to Professor John C. Adams of Chicago, taking exceptions to an article in the Saturday Blade in which Wilkerson charges the learned professor with "blaming the Negroes for nature's work." In his letter, Wilkerson refers to the article as follows: "I accidentally came across your article of Saturday April 29, on "Blaming Negroes for Nature's Work" in the Saturday Blade. "I was interested in your discussion of the skull recently unearthed in northern Rhodesia, and of the Neanderthal species of mankind which lived in Europe some 40,000 years ago." "Yet, I am very sorry that I cannot follow your reasoning all the way as it pertains to the Negro. I take exception to the following statements that you made, and I challenge a day's worth of evidence to columns or any one of them. We then and let an unblessed public judge of them. "You made the statement that, 'Government statistics showed that 50 per cent of the Negroes drafted were graduated as of the metal age of 12 years. It is true that 22.9 per cent of the Negroes are illiterate. But, professor, it is not equally true that illiteracy reaches the following percentage in the following countries: Bulgaria, 65 per cent, (1906); Portugal 68 per cent (1911); Romania 60 per cent (1919). And this in face of the fact of these people is 90 per cent of that the frontal 9 angles of the skull capacity of adult centenarians; any one of them show a greater percentage of illiteracy than the Negro whose frontal angle as as low as 500 in exceptional cases. But what is the explanation? It is merely a lack of opportunity to get an education, or failure of a state to provide a compulsory universal education, and you well know it. "I also challenge the following state meents you write, any of which I am willing to debate. “(1) That it is not in the nature of the black man to improve himself or to apply himself to the task of social and political stability. “(2) That he is made in the black man character and he is, therefrom, a menace to stable government’. "(3) 'The Negro's mental development is fixed by natural limitations, and that these limitations preclude the possibility of bringing him to the equality of the white race.'" "(4) 'I also take exception to your inference that the caucasian's progress has been due only to his greater skull capacity and that the Negro's lack of progress is due to his deficiency in the muscles that support it or to the relatively lower degree of his "frontal angle." There are vital factors to which you have given no consideration.' "(5) My Dear Professor, if you had gone a little farther into the sources of American History, you could not make the statement of inference that the misgovernment following the Civil War was a little entirely, to the rule of ignorant Negroes; you would have no earlful, as I did, many skulls with a frontal angle of 900. "(6) I challenge you to defend 'That the Negro lacks the brain areas essential to higher education, and on the other hand he has a preponderance of brain area which has to do with what may be called the elemental or, animal habits, thoughts, senses, and feelings. "This charge is a rank fallacy, and the later part of it can only be psychologically explained as another case of 'projection.' But I don't guess you understand what projection is since you have already admitted you had at the brain capacity to answer." See ULUS L.

C. May 3— Sensational political news, there is plenty, but it is not in the line of Negro appointments, as yet. President Harding by the summary dis- missal of the Bureau of Engraving heads, gave rise to the hope in the breast of the faithful that he would follow up the action in other depart- ments. "For the good of the Service, and appoint men and women who would loyally uphold the hands of the registration in making good. Administration in making President Harding has shown the world that he can "insist" with telling effect in bringing Congress to a sense of realization with reference to a substantial navy. Regardless of the fact that a number of leaders in Congress, including the Republican majority leader, Mr. Mendel, fought for a small navy, the President was able to convince the House of Representatives by a strong letter that a navy of $8,000 is the smallest that can adequately meet the needs of the United States at this time. States It is being argued by those who are observing the trend of events, that the President can "insist" with equal emphasis with reference to the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lyaching bill and it is being argued that this is done again. The term "again" is used adversely, for the reason that it is known that the Administration is in hearty sympathy with the purpose and passage of this measure. Barometer of Events And well there might be some careful consideration of the political barometer of events. There is no mistaking facts if they are looked at with unblased eyes. Shutting one's eyes to facts by no means alters the case the facts still exist. It is a fact that the Republican Administration is so premely anxious to remain in power. It is a well-known fact that to do this, a Republican Congress must be returned next November. returned next. Are there indications that Colored voters are not wholly sympathetic with the program as outlined for this purpose? The facts point to the declaration that they are not. And here are some of the facts, facts that must be adjusted by some means. Recent elections in Hartford, Conn., and Kansas City, Kan., show that Colored voters heretofore Republican, want to the Democrats, therefore duplicating what was done in New York last November. In a letter recently sent out by State Supt. S. A. Baker to the teachers of the state, he approves the plan of C. G. williams of organizing thrift clubs in the schools, and encourages the continuation of the work. Aging other things the letter says: "When I appoyed the plan of our inspector, Mr. Williams of organizing the schools of, the state into clubs for the purpose of raising poultry, pigs, gardens and savings. I little suspected that the teachers of Missouri would make the sacrifices to do the work necessary to make these clubs a success. We have never had more enthusastic workers. It is a complaint to the teachers, pupils and parents. This club work is one of the important divisions of my department. I am pleased with the interest the colored people are taking in their schools. "This is the last month of school. Many of the teachers will soon leave the district for the summer. I suggest that you leave this work in the hands of some energetic progressive parent, minister or pupil, in order that we may have a monthly report as to what the clubs are doing this vacation. These reports will be sent to the club leader and every child in the state will know what every other club is doing. This publicity will make each strive to outdo the other. If your club has not been reported, report it at once." been reported. Following up this work on the part of the teachers over fifty clubs have been organized and the results have been quite helpful to the several commu- LUIS BORNO ELECTED PRESIDENT OF HAITI PORT AU. PRINCE, Haiti. Apr. 26. By unanimous vote of the electorate of the Republic of Haiti. Borno is a well known and popular member of the bar, and a member of the cabinet of the outgoing President, Sidra Dartiguenave. He will be inducted into office early next month. Borno was at one time foreign secretary under Dartiguenave, and has been for many years a prominent and striking figure in Haitian affairs. He is training in foreign affairs and his long practice as an attorney admirably fit him for the position which he is to hold. With Borno will come a more beneficent American occupation, though the United States is not expected to evacuate. The unanimous choice of Borno indicates that the Haitians intend to make a prolonged fight for absolute independence and control of their domination. Appointment of, a minister plant perpetually from the United States to the Island is expected at no later date. Several Colored men are known to be personnel to the new administration, but those is a general disposition on the part of Colored men of wealth and prominence to abolish the appoint- electing Democratic mayors. The New York News of which Alderman Geo. Harris, Republican, is editor, calls attention to the fact that the former method of "counting on the Negro vote" will not do, and that the Colored political leaders who advises the party leaders that "everything will be all right with the Colored vote on election day" are not telling the truth, but are either blindly or falsely misleading the officials, from such a source of course cannot be overlooked. Another Example Another example of a "Declaration of Independence" is notably afforded in the case of Cornelius Richardson, attorney of Richmond, who fretted by what he termed "Republican failure" gave support last fall to a Democratic candidate for mayor of Richmond and as a mark of appreciation for the sup port of Colored voters, the Mayor proceeded to appoint a Colored company in the fire department. Altho criticised and threatened from some sources, the Mayor "stood his guns" and hag very recently declared that he will not waver in his stand and the fire department men are functioning Lodge and Wilson Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has been placed on his bench by the opposition to his renomination and election. Colored voters of the "Bay State" have heretofore stood by Lodge, but the Senator, being more of a statesman than a politician, has done very little to enthuse the Colored voters, and hence, in this "day of trouble," the number at the "mourners' bench" is not up to former standards, as the days go on. Leaders in his state, and they have told him that one of the things that will help "a considerable amount" as they say in Boston, but "a whole lot." as they would say in Indiana, would be for the dignified Senator to "fight for the Dyer Bill like he did for the Four Power Treaty." And now comes Woodrow Wilson into the picture again, after a sphinx-like silence of more than a year, repudiating his former Secretary. Tumulty, and laying an upper cut to the law of Senator Reed of Missouri, "it looks like business is pickling up," said one politician the other day, "and while Wilson could never again be trusted by Negro voters, his resurence into political picture puts a new phase on the vista.

Mr. Heningham's statement has been forwarded to the British Ambassador at Washington, Sir Auckland Goddes, as Heningham is a citizen of the British West Indian; also to the United States Department of State and of Justice. Mr. Heningham's statement follows: "They came to a colored man's home by the name of Oscar Bergammy where I, Rw. B. N. Henningham was giving him 'elementary training, a about 8 o'clock p. m., March 6, 1922, soiled me without a moment's warning. Imagined me from the house hereheaded and placed me in an automobile and drove me about ten miles toward Galenville, Ga. While on the way I asked them what had I done to be punished. They answered me by holding a pistol on me and slapping me in the face, stating, we will tell you what you have done. Your dams Bishop came here preaching Catholicism and got away before we could get him. Then he sent you here with your Catholic doctrine and educating these damn Negroes, making them worse. When we get through with you your Bishop and so one else will come here preaching that damn Catholic stuff. Better With Strop "When they reached about the ten mile point they took me out of the automobile and carried me into the woods, stripped me of my pants, placed me over a log and beat me with something like a leather strop until one of them said that was enough. Then, they made me get up and to me to rug and not look back or they would kill me. I was compelled to walk eight miles back in the house one of my members through a heavy rain storm here headed. They robbed me of the money I had, which we The St. Louis Argus ST.

(For The Associated Negro Press) By Charles T McGill NEW YORK, May 3—The hundred and thirty guests sat down for dinner; Monday night, April 24 in the Cafe Boulevard, Broadway and 41st Street at the thirteenth dinner of the Sunrise Club. Thirty of the diners were members of our race. The Sunrise Club is a dining society composed of all races, creeds and cultures, the majority of the members being cancelsane of a highly intellectual order. It meets about twice monthly and questions affecting the important events of the world are discussed. The society claims to "aim to blend alert prove racial relations and be for the general good?" Mr. Gregg advanced some very good reasons for the affirmative but Dr. DuBois, for the negatively combated the distinguished jurist and in the opinion of the vast majority, vanquished his opponent in the debate. Edwin C. Walker is secretary of the club. When President Harding sent to the Senate the name of Jesse W. Moore, a white man to be U. S. Marshall in Brooklyn, he closed entirely all doors towards a federal appointment in this section for a Negro. With the filling of the Marshal's job, for which the race unanimously backed George E. Wiberen of Brooklyn, all federal appointments have been presented in New York by white men, under the Harding administration. Among the Colored people, Senator Wm. E. Calder is blamed for this. It is thought that this attitude will cost him his seat in the United States Senate, as his rejection this fall is considered doubtful. Phil A. Jones, general manager of the Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill. was recently on business in connection with the Chicago Defender's New York office. A benefit for the Brooklyn Urban League was held Monday night, April 24 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music lit which the Chicago Ancient Muscles, under the direction of Mr. Geo Cleveland Hall were sturred. The agregation of Chicago a americana required themselves with great credit, although the slimness of the auditor was discouraging. Mrs. Hall displayed rare ability as a director, and the company sang many fine songs and executive roles. Mrs. E. F. Hour was chair several difficult dances in a pleasant state of the committee of arrangements. Tuesday night the series company was Wilkens. Later they saw the midnight merriment of "Snuffle Aloug." Edgar P. Bailey has been appointed foreman at the general Post Office. Division of Mailling Bailey's appointment was brought about through the efforts of ex-Assemblyman J. Clifford Hawkins who has been working on the case for some time. Bailey lives in Harlem and is a member of the Manhattan Republican Club; Leader Robert Conley, to whom Hawkins presented Bailey's name, pushed the matter vigorously to the happy end. With the announcement of Bailey's appointment last Tuesday came the news that the expected appointment of Alexander King to be assistant superintendent of College Station had been consummated. Both appointments were effective as of May 1st. King was formerly assistant superintendent at Wall Street Station, but was reduced under the Wilson administration. It is said that he owe his reappointment solely to the excellent record made when he was a previous supervisor. Both men were the recipient of many congratulations.

MAKES A STATEMENT To The St Louis Argus, Dear Editor.—There appeared an article on page seven (7) in your issue of April 28, concerning Wilson Dawson and The Ideal Investment Company. I hereby wish to correct some statement's made in said article which are false. First, the statement that "Mr. Nimocks organized the Ideal Investment Company in 1919 under a Deleware charter." I wish to say that Mr. Nimocks did not know anything about a Deleware charter until he had received my information. I am the man who planned the Deleware organization and furnished the first money to pay on the charter. The said article also states that "Dissension among the stockholders arose in 1921 and Mr. Wilson Dawson was elected president. Mr. Dawson immediately begin arrangements to have Mr. Nimocks ousted." In reply to this statement, I wish to say that; Dissension among the stockholders arose in 1920, when different pieces of the Company's Real Estate had been several times advertised "For sale" in the Daily Record. Mr. Nimocks, the President of the Company at that time, was collecting money from the sale of stock, and the rents on the real estate. The Board of Directors called on Mr. Nimocks month after month to make a report of the condition of the business, and explain why the property had been advertised for sale so often. He refused to make monthly reports, and could not explain his situation satisfactory to the Board. Then some investigation was made. It was found that Mr. Nimocks had opened two (2), personal bank accounts; one with the West St. Louis Trust Co. and one with the First National Bank and he had been depositing the Company funds in his name, with the West St. Louis Trust Company, and no deposits on the Company's bank book had been made since November 30, 1920. He refused to obey the orders of the Board of Directors, locked up the books and instructed the office girl not to let any of the officers see the books in his absence. The Board preferred ten (10) charges against Mr. Nimocks, and cited him to be present at a specially called meeting to defend himself. He refused to attend that meeting held October 8, 1921, at which time the said charges were sustained and he was then and there ousted from his office as president of said company, after which I was elected to fill the unexpired term. The Board was compelled to go to the Circuit Court to get possessions of books, business and property of the Company, and we are still in charge of all we got. But he has not complied with the court's order and is now in contempt of court. Mr. Robert H. Jackson, a public accountant in the Bank of Commerce Build, made the audit of the books and found them to show a shortage of more than $10,000.00. Aside from that, a number of stockholders have their receipts where they had paid Mr. Nimocks and his collector Mr. Wm. Wilingham money, which had not been placed on the books and the Company has no account of same. The investigation also shows that Mr. Nimocks issued to himself over $45,000.00 of the Company's stock for property located in Bessmer Ala., which he did not own and same has not been transferred to the company, as far as the Bordir knows at present. Yours respectfully, IDEAL INVESTMENT CO. WILSON DAWSON.

Young Was Last To Leave Military School More Than Two Score Years Ago, Others, Alexander And Flipper NEW YORK CITY, Apr. 6.—"Why not a Colored cadet at West Point?" Since the naming of a candidate for cadetship at the naval academy at Athensapolis, the question of a Colored cadet at West Point has come again to the front. There have been three Colored grenades at West Point, Alexander, Flipper and Young, the latter being the last more than two score years ago. Colored Americans are expected, and always have done their duty in wars in which the United States has been engaged, and it is regarded as a matriot of great importance that the time has arrived when some member of Congress should have the courage to命 THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7 TO 12 HOUSE REPORT FAVORABLE TO LIBERIA LOAN Ways And Means Committee Votes 13 To 9 For Five Million Dollar Loan To African Republic. DEMOCRATS AGAINST IT Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. May 3—Bv a vote of 13 to 9 the House Ways and Means Committee favorably reported the Fordney resolution authorizing a loan of $500,000 to the Republic of Liberia. The credit was first authorized in 1918, after Liberia entered the war on the side of the Allies, but was never put through Secretary Hughes, appearing before the committee urged that the resolution be adopted as "a matter of national honor" and denied that the legislation had been advocated by American banking interests whom he said, held only a fraction of outstanding Liberian bonds. Democrats oppose WASHINGTON, May 3-At last Southern Democrats who depend votes upon rabid Negrophobia have gotten under the skin of conscientious Americans by opposing the Liberian loan of $5,000,000 on the pleas that this nation is not legally nor morally bound to make loans to any foreign nation while American citizens are out of work, and what is superficially true, that we should not tax the American people for the benefit of any foreign nation. Liberia is a Negro Republic which is why the Democrats are so insistent against foreign loans. They know well enough that we shall make foreign loans to white nations in the future as occasion arises and that that if they are in the majority they will vote for them. These men are ready to vote for anything or any one if it will get them votes and they have been careful to see that their colored constituency shall not have the opportunity to vote for any one. As for the United States not being "legally or morally bound" to help Liberia when she needs it, that is false to some eighty years of State Department and Congressional precedents. The United States created Liberia, the black republic is a United States protectorate to all intents and purpose; the Liberians have the promise of our government and this Democratic proposal in plain words is that the United States of America shall break its word and leave the republic to its fate. The most contemptible attack. In the minds of qualified observers, has been the Democrats effort to compare Liberia and Haiti. This nation of ours is under no obligation to Haiti; we are under moral obligations to Liberia. Liberia has always been faithful to us; she declared war on Germany as soon as we did, taking her life in her hands and rendering our government invaluable service during the period of hostilities; she was created by the United States Government under a pledge, at the instance of white men, and is a moral responsibility of our government equal to any we are bound to meet. The keynote of the Democratic opposition to the loan is found in the minority report of the Ways and Means Committee, the Republisan majority of which has reported favorably on the loan. It is pointed out that Americans pay taxes to help support the nation's great soldier training school; that it is a subject of military business in which fifteen million citizens are interested, and that West Point is not a social institution or private school. It is proposed that in the event a endet is named for West Point, and the Ansorge appointment holds at Annapolis, public sentiment, in favor of justice and fair play would be so strong at this time that the men would be permitted to go through their courses without the former indignities of prejudice being heaped upon them. The naming of a Colored youth will probably come from some Congressional district where it is openly known that the election of the Congressman depends largely upon the support he gets from Colored citizens. Chair Established At Howard By Insurance Co. Associated Negro WASHINGTON, D. C. Apr. 26. Perhaps the most inspiring inspiration of the thought among Negro business men is the decision of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co. of Durham, N. C. to provide a stipulated salary for establishing a chair of Insurance at Howard University. This action which was conveyed to Dr. J. Stanley Durke, President of the Howard University by C. C. Spasulding, Secretary-Treasurer of the Insurance Company, acts a precedent for Negro business organizations. For a long time many white business firms have endowed various clubs in educational institutions looking to a more thorough preparations of men for their particular fields, but this is the first time, as far as can be learned, that a Negro business house, has made such a gift. In accepting the offer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., the Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University was requested to convey to the company on behalf of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, the grateful thanks of the University.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1922 CHAPTER V—8th Installment AMALGAMATION In the course of human development in America that which is development in America that which is now so heterogeneous eventually will become homogeneous and, whether we approve or disapprove, it will become so through the process of amalgamation of races. The ultimate product of this amalgamation will be the American type, as distinct from the other nationalities from which the blended elements will have been drawn. The question of amalgamation, like that of social equality, may be viewed from the narrow, prejudiced viewpoint or from the natural, philosophical view point. In keeping with our religious and social standards, blooms may be blended legitimately only in the bonds of wedlock. While there have been comparatively few marriages between Jews and Gentiles in America, we look with approval upon the intermarriage of all strains of Caucasian blood. In a few instances splendid American girls have married highly cultivated men of the Chinese and Japanese races. White men have been married to Red women. Some distinguished American ladies, among them a former "First lady of the land," having boasted having Indian blood in their veins. But when it comes to marriage between the white and black races there is general objection on both sides of the line. The thought of amalgamating the two races is repellent to most minds. The answer is, it is being done. This amalgamation of the black and white races has been going on for more than half a century. In the greater part it has been done out of wedlock. The turpitude connected therewith has been much lower upon the part of the white fathers than upon he colored mothers. To such extent has amalgamation obtained that a very large percentage of the so-called "colorful population" is of mixed blood and a large part of this percentage is more white than black. Nothing in the history of America's social and moral life would be so startling as the facts concerning the cohabitation between white men and colored women, were these facts made known. And, were it possible for the chemist to seek out the "great family" strains of blood in many "Colored" men's veins, a lot of us would be proud to claim it in our own. The fact remains that, whether the best thinkers of both races would have so willed it the physical and mental standards of those Americans classified as "Colored" have been materially raised by amalgamation. And whether there be any further mixing of the pure white blood with the black, from that already done the time will come when there will be little if any pure Nerro blood in America. In considering this subject in its entirety, in its reach over the centuries, it is difficult to distinguish between the "moral" and ultimately utilitarian phrases of it. That which sometimes is provincially and temporarily immoral and unethical, ultimately works out for the good of society as a whole. For example, if we accept the Pidical account of the origin and extension of the human race judged by our own standards of—rectitude, the pride of all we all receives a frightful blow from the fact that all kindreds and tongues are descendants from Cain who murdered his brother and married or mated with his sister. Today we punish the first crime with death, and the second by imprisonment. Yet, if the professed faith of the Jewish and Christian churches upon this particular point be true the race would have perished in that day, had not Cain, the fratracide, cohabited with his sister. It goes without saying of course that without doing violence to the fundamental teachings of the Bible very few people of intelligence accept its literal statements concerning the beginnings of humanity. Masonic Grand-Master Loses Suit At Seattle Associated Negro Press. SEATTLE, Wash., Apr. 26—In the matter of complaint of Jephthah and M. Franier Chapters O. E. S. vs E. H. Holmes, grand master of Masons and co-defendants the application for a temporary injunction and the defendants demurrier to the complaint came up for hearing in the superior court before Judge J. T. Ronald. After hearing the arguments of the attorneys the court overruled the demurrer holding that he would grant an injunction as asked for by Jephthah and Mr. Reinfner Chapters restraining Holmes and his codeendants from committing certain acts: complained of by the plaintiff. The court directed the plaintiff's attorney, Morris and Shipley to prepare an order enjoining Holmes as a Mason or as grand master of Masons from interfering or attempting to dictate concerning the affairs of the Eastern Star. The court commenting on this phase of the case remarked as follows: "The defendant Holmes as a Mason had no right to interfere with or dictate to the Eastern Star than I have, and I am not either a Mason or a member of the Eastern Star." Other points brought out during the trial by the attorneys were, that when the Grand Lodge convened the Grand Master had no further power as all power was vested in the Grand Lodge during the session: that the grand master had no right to set the laws aside during the sessions of a Grand Lodge that Master Masons who have been suspended should have a complete remedy at the hands of the grand lodge, which was compelled to do them justice by the laws of Mason whether they pledged for it or not.

Isahal does not set forth merely an ideal for a world at strife, but foretells what shall actually take place in the latter days, which shall put an end to all earth's strife. In these Scripture texts he reveals the fact that Jesus Christ shall come and establish His kingdom and remove from men's hearts the cause for strife. I. The Kingdom Established (Isa. 2:2-4). By "mountain" in the Scriptures is meant "kingdom" (Dan. 2:35; Rev. 13:1; 17:9-11.) 1. Its position (v. 2). It shall be in a place of supremacy. It stands at the head of all kingdoms. In fact the kingdoms of this world shall then become the kingdom of Christ (Rev. 11:15). 2. The restored nation the teacher of the Gentiles (v. 3). God called Israel that He might make His name known among other nations. Now after many centuries of apostasy and rebellion the chosen nation comes into its own. God's favor will be so outstanding as to gain the attention of the whole world and cause the people to come up to Jerusalem to hear the law of God. 3. The divine judge (v. 4). The problems of the nations of the world shall be adjudicated by One who is at-wise, and He shall rebuke many people. Because of this rebuke they shall convert their implements of war into implements of husbandry and they shall learn war no more. II. The King (Isa. 11:1-5) 1. His lineage (v. 1). He is of royal stock, of the house of David. From the fact that the "branch" grows out of David's roots, it is shown that Messiah shall come when the fortunes of the nation are very low. 2. His qualifications (vv. 2-3a). The Holy Spirit shall rest upon Him in his completeness, qualifying Him for His work. "Wisdom and understanding refer mainly to the clearness of intellectual and moral insight; counsel and might to the qualities which give sound practical direction and vigor to follow and carry through the decisions of practical wisdom; while the knowledge and the fear of the Lord define relation by its two parts of acquaintance with God founded on love and reverential awe which prompts to obedience." He shall have quick understanding in the fear of the Lord and His delight shall be to do God's will. This has fulfillment in Jesus Christ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Col. 2:3). 3. The character of His reign (vv. 8b-5). (1) "Not judge after the sight of his eyes." His knowledge is perfect; his judgment pierces through the problems, even seeing the motive which lies back of the act. (2) "Not reprove after the hearing of the ear." The word "reprove" means "decide." His decisions, therefore, will be on the basis of fact, not on hearsey. He cannot be deceived nor imposed upon. He knows all things, even from the beginning. (3) "With righteousness shall judge the poor." He will mete out impartial justice to them. Many times now the poor suffer because the wealthy are able to bribe the judge, but when Christ shall reign as King the poor shall get justice. The poor shall not suffer in justice because he is poor nor escape justice because he is poor. (4) "Shall reprove with equity for the meek," "Reprove" here doubtless means "decide." In fact the meek shall inherit the earth (Matt. 5:5). (5) "Shall snite the earth with the rod of his mouth." By the "earth" is meant here the wicked inhabitants. When Messiah comes to reign there will be great wickedness in the earth (see Familn 2:9:12; Luke 18:8). (6) He shall be girded with righteousness and faithfulness (v. 5). He is absolutely righteous and will faithfully carry out all His words. III. Description of Christ's Reign (vv. 6-8). Daily Thought.

White Slaves-Of Boston By Associated Negro Press Associated Negro Press BOSTON, Mass. May 3 — Scotch and Irish prisoners were sold as slaves in Boston in the years between 1651 and 1655. The Scotch were prisoners of war captured by Oliver Cromwell at the battle of Dumbar in East Lothbury. The Irish were chiefly little boys and girls who had been applauded from their homeland in the process of clearing ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1922 Massachusetts lay colony in earlier years. Probably there were also Scotch bondmen here. Willard De Lue writes in the Boston Globe. Back in 1612 a bond servant called Dearmont Mathew, an Anglization of Diarmund MQhoney, is ordered "to go home to his master, and he can prove his master did beat him when he came home with order from Mr. Deputy, his master to be punished." White persons held in servitude in New England were bond servants, bound to serve their masers for a certain term of years. Many Englishmen and Englishwomen bound themselves out in this way; in order to pay for their passage to America. At the conclusion of their terms of servitude they became free residents of the colony; and many of our present day descendants of the Puritan fathers are probably descendants of these bondsmen. Diaminus O'Mahoney; or, as he was more commonly called Dermot Mahoon, eventually became a free settler, married and reared a family. After his death his wife married a man whose name appears in the records as Bryan Morfe* but whose real name was Murphy. He also probably came over as a slave. Bond Servant's Life Was Hard The life led by these bond servants was often a very hard one. The Bay colony records are filled with entries telling of servants running away from their masters or being whipped when captured. "It is ordered that Rich Cokar shake whipt here this day & on the fifth day of next week at Boston, for insisting several persons thirt were servants to run away to the beach Plantation, & to steal dyers things to ear with them." And John Winthornt tells us, in his Journal of a bondsman held by one Moody, of Roxbury, who being warned of the punishments that awaited him in hell, declared "that if hell were ten times hotter, he would rather be there than he would serve his master." There is at least one case that I recall in which a servant was whipped to death. It was not however, to be bond servants that Cromwell shipped the Irish and Scotch to America. He was ready to have them sold into life servitude on exactly the same footing as Negro slaves. The Scotchmen were fortunate in being sent to England with a hapier fate awaived them. White Cotton, Winston Cromwell. What Cotton Wrote Cromwell "The Scothes who God delivered into your hand at Dunbarre" wrote the Rev John Cotton to Cromwell in 1651, "and whereof sundry were sent hither, we have been desirous (as we could) to make their yoke easy. Such as were sick of sourry or other diseases have not wanted physick and chirurgery. They have not been sold for saries to perpetual servitude, for for six or seven or eight years as we do our womens and he that bought the most of them (I beare) buildeth houses for them, for every four an house, which he giveth them as their owne, requiring three days in the sweake for work for him (by turnes) and four days for themselves and promiseth, as soone as they can repay him the money he layed out for them, ha will set them at liberty." The Periscope Associated Negro Press "By Wm. Pickens" "For Associated Negro Press" The biggest of all "color-ine" lies are generally those that attack Colored women. Y. Andrew Roberson, whoater he is, recently supported this phase of anti-Negro lying, perhaps unconsciously or unwittingly, when he wrote his article about color lines within the Negro race, which was published in Leslie's Illustrated Woolly. The Literary Digest says Roberson is Colored. We have always noticed that a man of any race can always help that race or hurt that race more than any man out of the race; can hurt or help K. When the case of the Negro is to be most properly messed up it takes a Negro to do the mess. We have already written a statement on the criticisms of the But the editor of the greatest Negro news service asked us if we had taken note of that part of Robertson's article which reflected on the motives of lighter-skinned colored women who marry men a shade darker than themselves. There are millions of them who would like to give the lie to the implication, that they marry darker skinned men for the low and unromantic purpose of a "meal ticker" that they are deserving their husbands and scaring their souls. But our opportunity to speak is better than theirs. We know them and we will speak for them. Perhaps 90 per cent of all the couples who love or get married in the American Negro group are people who differ in the shades of their colors—and they differ in all directions in both sexes, and to both extremes; sometimes the woman is a "white Negro" and the man black (and sometimes the man is a "white Negro" and the woman black. But the insinuations of Robertson's article are an insult to all the millions of lighter skinned colored wives and mothers whose husbands and whose children are dark. He insinuated that they married these men and reared these children simply to get their bread and meat. He does not explain how it is that so many thousands of these women have married men who had less money than the women themselves had, nor does he explain why so many black women are married to lighter-skinned men who were more advanced than the women both in educational attainment and in money. There are many igorent white people who are ready to say that light-skinned colored women are without virtue, and the monstrous implication of Robertson's article supports this lie. Of course the American Negro does not attempt to preserve his color and feature, for the simple reason that he has all the colors and all the features. Which one must he preserve? Which one must he preserve? One is worth just as much as the other. The Negro in Africa might speak of "preserving" his characteristics, but not the group called colored in the United States. This group is now cosmopolitan in the matter of physical features. If it continues to be a separate group, it may some day be uniformed into a type. If so, it will then be a new thing under the sun, neither African nor Caucasian nor Mongolian. The American Negro would be a thousand faces by himself if he as a group cared for colors. Of course, there are individual fools, some light, some dark, who are worried about their color, and this man Roberson undoubtedly lives less than a thousand miles from one of them. But the group called Negro American has stronger ties of interest than mere visual appearances. There are no more loyal members of the group than the colored women of all colors. THE COLORED "COLOR LINE" II By Wm Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) Leslie's Weekly published an article on color lines within the American Negro racial group, and the article was extensively quoted by the Literary Digest. The author of the article seems to be a Colored man, but it is evident that the interest of these papers was awakened by two wrong things: is more dangerous than a falsehood. 1.A falsehood. 2.A half-truth, which for it is specious and barrier to show up. The falsehood is: That the Negro draws more rigid lines within his own race than the white race draws against the Negro (noting the comparison). The half-truth is that the American Negro does not bear about his "features" and physical characterities, and that therefore, as the author falsely deduces, he has no race or group pride. We do not need to prove to American Negroes that no such rigid color lines are drawn within the group as are drawn against the group by the Anglo-Saxon. The color mania within the group is mostly individual finalizes and local peculiarity date to historical conditions. But this has been passing out even in New Orleans and Charleston (S. C.) where a three cornered race problem came nearest to developing. To say that any considerable group of Negro Americans are more interested in color than are white people, is not only a false statement, but tends to offer the white race an excuse for its own terrible color mania against the whole Colored group. The "seven" colors which the author of the article mentions are not only not "distinct" lines among Colored people, but they are just, merely the creation of the vaudeville stage, the pool room and the gay-hearted, and a splendid exhibition of the incessant Negro humor. "The old songs about the "yaller gal" were perfectly paternal: mulattes are still in the minority but were formerly much rareer than they are now, and any rare scarce in any race, group is the object of special sentiment, and attention, just as the blondes are among the whites. But if the white race were all blonde with just a few dark haired people scattered in her most of the novels and newspaper lies would then be written about the raven-halred girls. We have heard songs about the "black gal" and these songs would have been numerous if the black gals had been relatively more scarce. But the greatest mistake of all is that of the half-truth, for which a white person, as an outsider, might be excused, but which any intelligent American Negro can easily understand. The American Negro is accused of being without group pride. This illusion is derived from the fact that he is not a bigot about his color and features. And for good reason he is not; because he has all the colors and features within his group. Physically the Colorized American is the most rosmopolitan of humans in the world. If he is to be of his features, of which one must be host? How can a group with every color known to nature, say "I and proud of my color!" Of which "color"? How can a group with every shape of hair follicle and every texture of hair from practically round and straight Mongolian to almost flat and kinky African, boast about "our kind" of hair? Which kind? The American Negro cannot boast of any particular degree of nose or arch of body nor is to brag on his physical features, each Negro would have to brag on himself. In Africa when a child was born with a nose too nearly aquiline, its parents have been known to bind down its nose and flatten it. But in that whole tribe a sharp or high nose was an abnormality, a deformity. How can the American Negro group, which has every color, every feature, and every characteristic, feel the normality of or have a boastful pride of merely one? Can the rainbow brag about "its color," or a subtropical flower bed get stuck up on its singular and peculiar that?—But to say that this many featured and motif colored group of people cannot unite on the "superiority" of any one physical feature, is not to prove that they cannot have or have not a pride of the group. The American Negro cannot shout for black merry. A shout for any one color would be disintegrating, not a nuffy shout. The tie must be other than mere physical features. And a gathering together of Colored Americans for any common purpose, in New York, Chicago, in Atlanta, or in New Orleans, is today the most virgilated human thing on earth. The cry of color (usually the cry of black, which prettyminates) has several times been raised in this group but it has never yet met with any general response for the reason that it is both inconsistent and unhelpful. To say that the Negro is more color-proflicled than the whites, is the excuse those of the white race, who would oppose color. And to say that the American Negro licks race pride, is to support those who have tried to discredit the group by claiming that altho no white-man wants to be a Negro, every Negro wants to be a white man. Negroes of all colors and features have disputed this. Douglass, Washington, Moton, DuBois and Garver Associated Negro Press. HAMPTON Vt., May 3—The Right Rev. Theo. DeHose Bratton, Bishop of Mississippi since 1903 will deliver the principal address at the University exercises, which will be held in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute. The Institute was founded in 1868 by Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong.

TRY MAGNESIA FOR STOMACH TROUBLE It Neutralizes Stomach Activity, Prevents Food Fermentation, Sour Gassy Stomach and Acid Indigestion Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion, you have already tried pearls, pancreation, charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and you know these things will not cure your trouble—in some cases do not even give relief. But before giving up hope and deciding you use a chronic dyspeptic just try the effect of a little Bisurated Magnesia—not the ordinary commercial carbonate, citrate, or milk, but the pure Bisurated Magnesia which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either powdered or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or two compressed tablets with a little water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize the dangerous, harmful acid in to ferment and, harmful acid in the stomach which now causes your food to ferment and sour, making gas, wind, fatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You will find that provided you take a little Bisirated Magnesia immediately after a meal, you can eat almost anything and enjoy it without any danger of pain or discomfort to follow and moreover, the continued use of the bisirated magnesia can not injure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indigestion.
