Senator Borah Wants Negroes Saved From Mob Violence. Action Goes Over After Two Weeks. Let Everybody Get Busy. Special To The Argus NEW YORK, May 29—The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, is saved. This was the statement of James Wetton Johnson. Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who returned to New York from Washington on Friday, May 26, after spending a week fighting for the Dyer Bill through the most critical stage of its existence. During that time 'an unfavorable report on the Dyer Bill by the Judiciary Committee of the Senate on Monday, May 22, was narrowly averted. The Senate were convinced that the action was absolutely essential. During his week in the national capital the N. A. A. C. P. Secretary was in constant conference with Senators Borah, Lodge, Curtis, Capper, Calder, Erust, Shortridge, Sterling, McDermick, Dillingham and Watson, and with Representatives Dyer, Burton and Madden. As a result of the Secretary's efforts, not only has the unfavorable report been averted but the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, May 24, met and decided to postpone action for two weeks during which time efforts would be devoted to making the Bill absolutely unassailable were brought upon the floor of the Senate. Senator Borah brought upon the Secretary before he left Washington that if there was anything he (Senator Borah) could do to save the life of a single Nerro from a mob, he would do it. During Mr Johnson's week in Washington he represented to the members of the Committee on his Judiciary and leading Republican Senators briefs upholding the constitutionality of the Dyer Bill prepared by Moorfield Storey and by James A. Cobb, Chairman of the legal Committee. Washington Branch N. A. A. C. P. A third brief was sent to the Senate by William H. Lewis, formally assistant U. S.

St. Louisans Get Prominent Offices. Grand Master Clark Honored. KANSAS CITY, Mo. May 31. Grand Court Heroes, of Jericho conceived in its 18th annual session on Tuesday May 29, 1922, at the Methodist Church ney Grand Most Ancient Matron pre-19th and Woodland Avenues, Kansas City, Mo., with Mrs. Pearl M. Dabding. After an exhaustive report of conditions of the Order since her ascendency to the throne as Grand Matron, she delivered her annual address which included with regard of a logical legal redeclaration, of the times and conditions of colored women today as compared with the same conditions that existed heretofore. She expatated upon the need of common unity between all fraternal organizations, that the ends, sought might be materialized for the common good of the Race and the uplift of Humanity. Her address was characterized as one of the most impressive that has been delivered by any Grand Most Ancient Matron, was unanimously voted as being one of the most scholarly and timely addresses ever read before the grand Court. Peace reigned supreme and Harmony was the watchword of the session. More than One Hundred fifty representatives were present representing every section of the jurisdiction of Missouri, each voicing the great work of Most Ancient Grand Matron Dabney for her wonderful work during the past year. Many years ago Courts were established during the twenty hundreds of new members added to the Grand Master of Masses Griffenend E. Clark was the honored guest of the session, and his acts as Grand Master with all its difficulties was unanimously enforced by the Grand Court which offered up prayer that all his policies might be continued. Much needed legislation was inaugurated, which should make the Heroes of Jericho one of the most leading women's organization not in the State of Missouri, but in the world. On Thursday the following officers were elected: Grand Most Ancient Motrue, Pearl M. Dabash, Kansas City Mh. J. Gould Jenkins, Thomas G. M. Dabash, Gerritt Dabash, Missouri, Missouri The St. Louis Argus made clear to Republican leaders that a failure to act favorably on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill would have three disastrous results: 1. It would constitute a confession on the part of the Federal Government of inability to deal with America's shame and would leave the Negro hopeless of that protection against the mob owed him by the government to which he gives his allegiance. 2. It would be interpreted as a license to mobs and might be followed by a reign of lynching terror too horrible to be described. 3. It would be a repudiation of the pledge made by the Republican Party in its National platform that action would be taken on lynching, and would more than anything else discredit that party among colored voters. Mr. Johnson pointed out to the Republican leaders in Washington that the primary elections in several states had shown the strong sentiment for the Dyer Bill, a sentiment it would not be safe to ignore. In Indiana, Senator Beveridge, who had indicted the Bill, had been elected governor over Senator New. In Pennsylvania, Gifford Pipchot had been elected over Mr. Alter who had opposed the Dyer Bill. In conclusion Mr. Johnson insisted the following statement: "Every Colored man and woman in the United States ought to make it their primary business to see that the Dyer Ant-Lynching Bill. H. R. 13. is passed by the Senate. Nix human beings, all of them Negroes, were burned-at the stake in the United States during the fifteen days in the month of May, 1922. If that is not enough to stir colored Americans to unified action, then nothing will or can. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People offers employment to Dyer BUL.

ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY.JUNE 2.1922 REPUBLICAN PARTY SPLIT THREATENED Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill. May 31 "WILL there be a split in the Republican party?" That question has been asked from "Shore to Shore," particularly since the recent primaries in Indiana and Pennsylvania, to say nothing of Oregon, where the Klu Klux Klan boldly and defiantly enter the arena backing a candidate for governor. The Associated Negro Press can state with the authority of one of the foremost men in American political life, that it is his opinion that there may be a split by 1824. Here is the way this authority sizes up the situation. The common people are tired of being burdened by promises and broken pledges. This is particularly true of Cobed people. We have been goats jackets and many other zoological animals for others to thrive upon. Times have chagged. A promise made used to be a promise kept, if the support of our voters are wanted. "Therefore, it is my opinion that by 1824, this feeling of dissatisfaction and protest will crystallize itself behind Mayor Thompson of Chicago. Mayor Hylan, of New York, perhaps Seminars Bornh and Johnson, possibly William McAdon, and others to the end that a new party will be formed." This opinion is shared by a number of others, but the majority feel that what ever differences there are will be worked out within the Republican party itself. President Harding's recent interview with newspaper men in which he stated that he could not disown the reason for all of the "hiliballah" about "shams at the administration" and the like by Democrats, when the men recently nominated are Republicans, and had declared their faith in the principles of the party. **Colored Citizens Alert** Colored citizens, both men and women, throughout the entire country are voting political conditions are everywhere voting "sentiments" rather than sentimentals" which is proving to be a distinction sufficient to bring the powers in action on legislation that bespeaks "larger justice." The United States Senate, under the leadership of Senator Loege and with the advice and urging of such close advisors as Senator McCormick, of Illinois; Senator Watson of Indiana; and others who are charged with the responsibility of adjusting action with principles are known to have urged "action." Use the tidal wave of opposition sweep the deck of the old Republican ship. "We will fight within the party, but we are to fight like Sherman said "war is —" said one man to the A. N. P. representative. Outlining his said: "We are against the white power. We are against Federal segregation, and that means we are against members of Congress, and all other officers who cannot see the value of giving our people fair representation in both legislative and appointee offices. We are demagogue or the hypocrite, and it may as well be known now and for ever." Bonus Commission Is Busy JEFFERSON CITY. May 31- The Bonus Commission is busy sending out checks to the service men of Missouri who have filed their applications, but it will require some (time to get the checks into the hands of those entitled to them. Our soldier boys can be assured that they will receive their bonus money just as fast as the bonus forms of clerks work or their applications can get the checks in the mail. Governor Hyde is especially interested in this matter and has put men on the commission who can be relied upon to keep the work moving without unnecessary delay. It is believed by the commission that when 14,000 claims have been paid the average will drop to about $140. There will be a total of about 145,000 claims. MEMORIAL SERVICE AT VESPER HOUR Y. W. C. A.

Kyle said he did not know, in the darkness of the alley that the man who was pursuing him was a policeman, but that he supposed him to be another Negro. He told a story which fits in some of his details, the police version of the killing of Stapleton. Kyle was the police learned, and as has admitted, possessed that another Negro, who was a Malee Smith, in his absence. For that reason, Kyle said, he went to the Papin street house at a time when he was not expected, shortly before midnight Friday, and attempted to get in. He went down the back steps, and the woman, who had heard him at the door, at the same time called the police, who came in the front way. As he stood in the back yard, in the darkness, one of the policemen used a flashlight which showed Kyle's post, and he fired at him without a warning. Kyle ran but when he was cornered he turned and fired at his pursuers in the dark, not knowing who they were. He is held by the police. BAPT.

Accuses Negro To Hide Her Own Misdeeds. DAILIES GARBLE TRUTH Papers Circulate A False Report To The Detriment Of Negro, But Fail To Make Correction When Child Confesses Fake. LOUISVILLE. Ky. May 20—Katherine Anderson, age 14, a white girl for a white life, has bright right light, and she has observed that "you can get by with murder" if you only try "Niger, Niger." That one term has clawed more clinks and has caused trouble for more human beings (black humans) than any other term in the history of the world. Katherine, who is fourteen, must be a great reader of the papers, for she knew this fact well. Now Katherine, or "Katty" as she might properly be called, had long flowing tresses, clear down to her knees, as the saying goes. But as beautiful as they were and one would think as desirable, "Katty" was not satisfied. Fashion had decreed to be flipper one must have short tresses and shorter hair—that is how a rid of those beautiful long tresses worried "Katty" mind. All at once the answer came by radio or something, "out them," of speaking at a Negro, some Negro, any Negro, all Negroes look alike." So it was Tuesday morning the Louisville Herald carried Katherine's picture and be following: Negro Cuts Hair of Girl Fat House Home, Farm School While on her way from School greeted afternoon, Katherine Anderson, 14, the adopted daughter of F. W. Alwes, 118 South Hancock street, was attacked by a negro, and her beautiful light brown hair, which attracted attention wherever she went, cut off with a razor. Katherine, who is a student at the Louisville Vocational School, was walking down First street between Walnut and Chestnut when a young Negro walked out of an alley and asked her to "go back" with him. She refused and was dragged back to a rage feet out of her hair, cut off her hair close to her head. The child's screams attracted a large crowd, her assault escaping by running west in the alley. Upon reaching home, Katherine was in such a nervous condition that her father was unable to get the true story until 5:30 o'clock, when he notified the police. She described the negro as 25. of light brown complexion, five feet ten inches tall, and weighing about 100 pounds. And the stair旧 Old Courier Journal pulled the following: The long, dark hair of Katherine Anderson, 14 years old, which reached almost to her knees, was stained at 3 o'clock by a negro, grabbed her at the mouth of a rail between Walnut and Chestnut streets, on First street. She was returning from the Vocational School to the home of her mother, Mrs. F. W. Alwes, Sr. 118 South Hancock street, when the negro cut off her hair. It is not known whether he used a razor, or a pair of shears. The negro forced the girl into the alley, but she escaped. She described him to the police. Please note neither paper says the girl "accused" the girl "alleged". No it was a Negro and therefore it must have been a Negro robbed a white girl of her hair. Nobody but a juntilie would attack a girl on a well-traversed street at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Nobody but a juntilie would believe such a story and nothing but a newspaper crazy for news and prejudiced sensation would publish it without investigation and without a clew and they could find no neighbors or passers-by who heard any screams or saw any commotion. So when "Katy" was arrested she had twice were arrested she said she had to give some reason for getting rid of her raven lock. So there is the story that has caused the death of many innocent "colored men": Girls in their mere teens understand. WHITE OR COLORED COURT TO DECIDE FORTH WORTH, Tex. May 21— Fred W.

TWO COLORED SHOOLS GET HIGHEST MARKS IN MUSICAL MEMORY TEST White And Colored Compete At Kansas City, Yates And Phillippe Win Headers. Associated Negro Press KANSAS CITY, MO. June 1-Three weeks ago the local daily papers carried an article that the Negro school boys did not march in the Boys' Parade because they were not given their alphabetical location, but were always "hitched" to the end of the procession. Now, the same papers announce that the Negro pupils lead in a Music memory test and two colored schools made the highest marks. The Board of Education inaugurated the system of competition in music memory to counteract the "jazz craze." Miss Mabel Glenn, a noted expert in music is the general supervisor and his several associates, one of whom is colored Miss Blanche Morrison. During the term, certain selection were given to the pupils on one waffle schools. On May 15th at the Junior College 1,600 pupils competed for honors. The colored schools were given the first chance, at the same building and under the same conditions only three hours before the whites. It is significant that although the Negro schools competed among themselves two of them made higher scores in the national competition. The average for the five highest white schools is 97.19 while first five colored schools made 97.78. "The Kansas City Star," the leading local daily paper, states. "The J. C. James and W. W. Yates (colored) Schools won first places in the Music memory content Wednesday at the Junior College \{the Sanford B. Ladd and Wendell Phillips \{colored\}. Wining second places. The Competition was very close, the first twelve from 88.9 to 88.575 their standing, the first five Negro schools ranging from 80.8 to 99.8. Perfect scores were made by 84 white and 47 Negro children, making 131 out of 1,000 contestants."

The court in assessing punishment A MODERN SLAVE AMONG SLAVES By Dumas the Third Associated Negro stress A philosophical conversation between a man and woman, whether they be lovers or not, brings about disagreeableness of thought, criticism, and sometimes the ladingage of the mind, which, being an unpleasant condition of the soul, often ends with a quarrel. This had become the case of Hattie a brown-complexioned woman of thirty years of age, being a debater, orator and critic and being single, is the personage upon whom we shall speak of in connection with Miss Hattie. This belong the case, we now proceed, wherein we listen to the words of an enthusiastic woman and an intellectual man: "Kawson, you can not deceive me with your thoughts!" "Hold your tongue, hold your tongue; not so loud." "I exclaimed as loud as I please, for I am Hattie, whereupon 'Hattie' does as she desires!" "Well, you are a woman; much must be expected from you." "You are a woman! You speak as if 'I am the inferior of man; you have also spoken as if you know everything. But you are mistaken, because you are wrong in many ways. For instances, just to show you that you are wrong, you have said that everybody is a slave, and that a man who is in love with a woman is the greatest man in the world he marries. You are wrong, wrong. Lawson! I am not going to listen to you any longer." "You will listen to me; you will let me captain you to show, you that I am fight so far as the philosophy of reasoning is concerned. Thus: I do give a profound comprehension to you an follows." Man is the greatest of all modern slaves when he marries a woman because he has to work more than the single man who works simply for the existence of himself I moreover when his wife desires refinement, such clothes as she our a superior home, he must work like a king's slave in order to comply with her wishes. Yes, I do yet say that this man is the greatest of modern slaves" "Ha, ha, a husband is not a husband, but a slave! What poor reasoning for a man of high intellectuality! Nevertheless, Lawson, will you be my greatest of all modern slaves, my husband!" "Where did you get this, pistol from anyhow?" To which the defendant answered: "Well sah, it's tilt way: I done had that gun a long time. Hit's a old family relic. Hit's been in de family a long time." The court, in assessing punishment, gave the defendant a fine of one hundred dollars and thirty days on the county road, and remarked: "Well Joe, this is one 'family relic' that is going to have to cost you something."

"When you marry him love him. After you marry him study him. If he is honest humor him. If he is generous appreciate him. When he is sad cheer him. If he is noble you let him encourage him. If he is sensitive treat him. If he is jealous cure him. If he favors society accompany him. When he does you a favor thank him. When he deserves it kiss him. Let him think how well you understand him, but never let him know that you manage him." ALL IS WELL:—Let not your mind be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 24—A Philip Rudolph and Chandler Owen, of "The Messenger," New York city, scored a terrific hit at the meeting of the B. Y. P. U. of the Great Baptist Tabernacle, Philadelphia, on the occasion of the celebration in honor of John Brown. Taking as their subject "The New Emancipation," the speakers held the large audience spell-bound sitting forth the essentials for the colored people, if they will really be emancipated physically, spiritually, and economically. The feature of the occasion, musically speaking was the playig of Carrie O. Sasser, a nine-year girl, who played appropriate music throughout the entire period, as well as acting as precenter. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill., May 24—Now the lovestick pyramid builder, used to scratch the emotions of his heart on a brick, which he hurried through the window, of an Egyptian bellite, was discussed by solemn scientists here. Love's origin was one of the toques at the University of 'chicago, where professors celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the declipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Dr. A. R. Nykl of Northwestern University, spoke on love as translated from old titles.ago since each different from that of other days of happers and joy rides." The Egyptian and Arabian definition of love was the same as that of the troubadors." Dr. Nykl said. "They believed it was the union of two souls united in the world above. They also believed that love entered the heart through the eye. "The manifestations of love through the ages are the same. The lovesick one desires to be alone. He falls into confusion when his loved one approaches. He seeks to drink from the cup he loves, but the lovesick one could fall in love with a woman simply by hearing a description of her."

JOHN BROWN AND JESSE MAX BARBER By William Fackens John Brown's body lies at North Elba, New York, near Lake Burlington. On May 14, 1807, he arrived, with another representative of the Philadelphia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. laid on the Grave of Browne a wreath. A meeting was then held in a local white church at which Max Barber delivered the principal address, and a great statement on "John Brown, The Forcermen and Prophet of Emancipation." This is an effort to give new impetus to "the spirit of John Brown" in our present struggle for life and liberty in this country. The dus of Brown in this country. The dust of Brown is at North Elba, but his spirit can go abroad. As Napoleon came back from Elba, Brown can come back from North Elba. But Napoleon came back to lead his armies to DEFEAT, while for a split such as Brown and Barber's there can be no defeat. There may be delay, vexations, trials, but not defeat. Who is Jesse Max Barber? He is the first Negro to try to publish a magazine of truth in the South. At magazine of truth in the South, At Barber's he daral to write and speak bravely as long as the South gave him the physical opportunity to do so, and that was much longer than most people had previously supposed it could be done. "The Voice of the Negro" was lifted in Georgia for a few years. He was like John Brown': he tried the impossible and get succeeded--for Brown through his "failure at Harper's Perry, 41t a torch which headed the procession of Emancipation, so did Max Barber in Atlanta lift a voice which made the Negro's fight vocal and it has remained gospel ever since. His work fizzed a path for The Crisis. The Messenger, and other outstanding publications of the American Negro which established themselves in more tolerable climates. In his pulvinar at the grave of John Brown, Max Barber closed with this appeal. "In the white world's scheme of human destinies, the eNgro is still a sub-man—a kind of dog-man. The country is still blind and deaf; blind to the qualities that make, peoples free and nations great, and deaf to the cry of distress which lured you to Harper's Ferry. Somebody must come to formus the nation's attention to the open nullification of the constitution in the South and to the misery and fear which rises like a storm. Somebody has got to section. Somebody has got to stick a lance in blind bigotry and囚私 prejudice and let the foster drain once more. We have called and there are none to answer. We have cried aloud and the echo of our waiting cry has come down the highway. Q. John Brown! Don't you hear them calling you?" There is truth in this indictment, but to these voices we must add organization. Union, power, work like that. We must work to ensure every year and another day in the leap years. BEST MUSIC BEST EATS BEST DRINKS BEST ORDER BEST PLEASURE Knights o ing Free. Admission "The Mirrow Hall" h and Hodiamont Tracks PLACE IN THE CITY Baseball prospers most when others are idle. Baseball In Dollars' and Cents Any person who is statistically inclined might sit down and compute what a Negro-National League season means to various interests of the country. Let him begin with the opening of the league on May 6 and go down through all the clubs, associated members and all, considering the number of ball players who will be spending money throughout the width of the land between May and October. Compute the number of players in each league club; the amount they cover; the amount of money it costs to comply with the league schedule, the cost of their hotel bills while traveling, ground rentals and ground keeping expenses, including overhead, to say but little of the amount for soft drinks, smokes, peanuts, etc., consumed by the fans. Just as a starter here is something: In order to comply with the league schedule the clubs will travel an aggregate total of 50,000 miles during the 1922 season. With the railroad fare of three cents per mile it means that the clubs will spend for individual players expenses, by rail $1,080. With a fourteen player player club will carry an average of 16 men, which means 128 men for the eight clubs of the league or a total of $46,240 in railroad fares alone. At an average hotel-rate of $2.00 per day during the only time in which the teams are traveling, you can add to the railroad fare $7,476 as hotel bills. Robert Levy, head of the Real Pictures Corporation, has informed us that the Real will soon produce another picture. Lack of up-to-date advertising by the theaters where Real pictures have been shown showed its effect by the failure of thousands to see pictures which they would have under different circumstances turned out to be witness. Mr. Levy is at present engaged in staging dramatic shows at the Howard Theater in Washington, D. C. and Baldinmore, M. A. Strong rumor was current some months ago that he was making an effort to remain possession of the Lafayette Theater but failed to do so. He verified this rumor when seen by your correspondent. A New Show "The Creole Follies Review" will have its premiere at the Lafayette on Monday. The Coleman Brothers, directors of this house, are staking a great deal on this new show as they expect to keep it at the Lafayette for an indefinite run. They are so sanguine of its success they think it useless to listen to those of us who have seen Harlem grow from the first shack on 135th Street where the goats would warm themselves on winter days to the big apartment house with elevator and telephone service, both of which are problematical after eight o'clock at night. Even "Shuffle Along" could not last longer than a month in Harlem and the only reason for the big runs on Broadway is because of the floating population from other cities. Here in Harlem we have a limited supply to draw from, and, soon they fire of any one show as, previous owners of the Lafayette have found. If "The Crooke Folles Review" lasts longer than three weeks it will be the season's most startling production and Broadway will hold out her arms and remove it from black Harlem.

It is a story of virile manhood in the West, where one must protect himself and the woman he loves at the point of a gun if necessary. Through a clever story of intrigue the hero is about robbed of his valuable possessions, and is even thrown in jail, falsely accused of murder. How he extricates himself brings the villains to justice and clears himself in the eyes of the woman he loves makes up an hour and a half's fascinating entertainment.

It is a tale of slant eyed smugglers, roving Pacific seas: "A dare-devil man-girl who beat them! - a soft society dandy, shang-hualed and made a man! Miss Dulton plays the part of Letty, daughter of Captain Sterpersen, owner of a trading steamer has been brought up on the sea to become a strong, fine specimen of womanhood, nicknamed "Moran" - more a son than a daughter, and a sailor to her finger-tips.

The scenes of the story are held along the North coast of Africa and in the heart of the Sahara Desert.

She turns against the family pride and decides to marry a New York rounder for the comfort his wealth could bring her family. In the end, however, Anthony realizes that his love is greater than his doubt, and the romance ends to the satisfaction of all. The feature for this Sunday will be "A Stranger of Canyon Valley." Its a western drama featuring Edith Sterling. SHRINE MARCHING CLUB MINTSTRELS REGISTER HIT The Shrine Marching Club made its initial bow before the footlights, in a Minaret at the Garrick Theatre Friday night, May 26. The club scored a success and increased its popularity for versatile entertaining. The Minstrel was of the typical kind with a first part assemble followed by the olio. George Clark was the interlocutor in the first part. "Jazz Baby" Moore and "Nck Bones" Bright were the fun makers on the ends.

The protracted lynching-burning in Texas, during the past two weeks, doubtless will call for serious thought of every true American, who has the best interest of his or her country at heart. Aside from the natural racial antipathy and racial prejudice which has been at the bottom of lynching during the past thirty years; there is a new spirit seen which has manifested itself in the recent lynching burnings. It is doubtless the work of the Ku Klux Klan. The State of Texas, as will be remembered, is the hot-bed of Kukluxism. The spirit of the Klan has, on several occasions, threatened to openly take charge of local government in many counties of the state. As a result of this boldness, many state officials found it necessary to denounce the Klan in order to protect even the best class of white people in the State. But the Klan has awaited its opportunity to give expressions to its spirit in true form, and a Negro accused by one of their number of a crime, affords ample ground for the Klansmen to do their dirty work. The Klansmen are taught that they are more powerful than the law, or the constituted officers of the law. Each clansman, is drilled in racial and religious hatred. They are also taught that the most effective way of giving expressions to their doctrine, is by bodily violence. This form of lawlessness, under the guise of patriotism is so impressed upon its members until they, like the soldier trained in the use of arms, are ready to try their skill. The teachings of the Klan are like taking lessons in law defiance. Therefore, the unusual outbreak of mob violence in Texas is but the natural conclusion of the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. The Negro being the victim of racial prejudice, the Ku Klux have found that it is easy to practice upon him especially in the South. Tolerations of the Klan under whatever aliases they may be operating, is but encouraging contempt for law and order. Therefore it is the duty of all true patriotic, liberty loving men and women to rise in the name of law and order and swat the Ku' Klux wherever they raise their head the same as you would a pest of any sort. WHAT MANNER OF MEN ARE THEY? he stinch from the burning of six human stills, and the air pregnated with the new ages during the past twenty days in the United States is still dilly dalyling and the constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-lyse who are opposed to the measure are s hold the constitution of the United States attention to the Declaration of Independence reads: With the stinch from the burning of six human beings yet in their nostrils, and the air pregnated with the news of lynchings burnings during the past twenty days in the South, the Senate of the United States is still dilly dalyling and "spitting hairs" over the constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill. If those who are opposed to the measure are sincere, and want to uphold the constitution of the United States, we would call their attention to the Declaration of Independence, the second paragraph reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," that to secure these rights; "governments are instituted among men." etc. The above quotation from the Declaration of Independence should serve as a guide to those Senators who are such guardians of the Constitution of the United States. It dosent require a Philadelphia lawyer to interpret what it means by those strong words "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." If there is any doubt about the duty of the Congress of the United States to protect Citizens from mob violence, and the power of the Congress to act when States fail, we would call attention to the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution which reads: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State where in they reside. No State should make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The above section makes it very plain that one becomes a citizen of the United States first, and that the United States owes that citizen protection and all the immunities in all cases wherever a State fails. The states have failed and now the matter is squarely up to the Federal Government to act. To see the Senate quibbling over a matter which is plainly their duty we wonder what manner of men they really are? What kind of conscience have they? What sense of right and justice do they possess? What do they think their duties are? Clifton F. Richardson, of Houston, Tex., exemplifies the best courage that God has made in man. He is editor of the Houston Informer, a weekly paper. He ranks not only among the most courageous of humans in general, but, what is more than that he is one of the most courageous Negroes in the southern United States. The highest and truest type of courage on this plant is that of a black man in Miss., on Texas. It requires more courage for a black man in Texas to be a normal human being than for a white Texan to be a "héro," for when a black man in Texas dares to walk and talk and act as a normal human being he is in much more danger of his life than is the white Texan who trigs the daredevil business. It requires more courage for a Negro to ride on a Pullman car in Texas than for a white to face and fight a dozen robber bandits. For, if the white Texan fought off the bandits and saved his purse, he would be praised by all men and perhaps rewarded; but if a Negro in a Pullman fought off his would-be murderers and saved his life he would next have to fight every other white man in the state from the governor down. He would find more hell after he extricated himself from the Pullman car than he found in it. A few days ago colored women were forced to get out of the drawing-room of a Pullman car in Texas—not "handkerchief heads," but beautiful, bright, clean young women, two of them secretaries of the National Y. W. C. A. and one a lady physician. Now a drawing-room is more "separate" from the rest of a Pullman car than is the Jim Crow end from the rest of a day coach. This shows the whole hypocrisy, the objection is not to contact with colored people but to comforts for colored people. The chivalrous Texas gentlemen could not bear the thought that colored women were riding in comfort, even though these women were locked in their own drawing-room and could not be seen. It requires more courage for a Negro editor in Texas to PAGE-SIX The St. Louis Arquis PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE COURAGE speak and print the truth in time of peace than for any white editor to print treason in time of war. Clifton F. Richardson has been speaking the truth though his Informer, and they are naturally lying in wait for any such Negro. The officers of the law will shield themselves under the cloak of public authority and do to such a Negro what the mob dares not attempt. For some flimsy excuse they will arrest him and get him down to the police station, or "slaughter pen," as Richardson aptly calls it.—Public Journal Phil. "READ 'EM AND WEEP" Bert Williams made famous this ex-pression, "Read 'Em and Weep." And the reason is simple—It carries "more truth than poetry." Bert Williams lambuds us he pain-tomped the poker player who read the cards in his hand and saw that he had lost. But if people had gotten the real lesson from this bit of fun, many broken homes and -unfold wealth would have been saved! More people "Read 'Em and Weep" today than ever before! Do you play a little quiet game, like a corner. In the presence of your children and your conscience and your friends? If you do, you are going to "READ 'EM AND WEEP." Or, do you prefer to have your friends to your HOME, or to your OFFICE, pass around the big chairs, and play for 25c, 50c, or $100 a man? If you do, you will surely "READ 'EM AND WEEP." This is not a sermon. It is simply a talk on COMMON SENSE and SOUND BUSINESS. Don't you think so? Why rant about the other man who succeeds in business, who builds up a bricolettone, who steadily climbs ring after ring up the ladder of life? You have the same time and the same advantages. The only difference is that you dissipate your time, energy and money. Did you buy any of that "gift edge" stock the other day, guaranteed to pay ten to one "according" to the salesman? Last year $20,000,000 worth of stock was bought and paid for in Missouri which was absolutely worthless. Don't look at these papers and "READ EM. AND WEEP," but use your common sense in the future. Consult your banker or a successful business/friend before investing in stocks. Do you play the "ponies" each day the little strip of paper on which is printed a list of numbers? How much do you put up when the man comes by each morning? From 5e to 25e. If pairs you to continue, of course, because you won so much last month! Did you play the races today! Of course you won! Now statistics give the LIE to successful gambling! Not only is it a character, destructor, but like alcohol it intoxicates and makes you THINK YOU ARE WINNING! As a matter of fact, you are putting your hard earned dollars into a proposition which is ROBBING YOU! The wealth of the community can increase a hundred fold if the misapplied energy and funds are properly directed! STOP and THINK before you READ 'EM and WEEP!" WANTS DYER FOR SENATE TO THE Editor of the St. Louis Argus: The "prowers that be" in the Republican party seem to be lost for some one to nominate for United States Senator. I heartily endorse your stand against McMissie and Dwight Davis. Neither of these men will do as both have shown that they are antagonistic to the Admiration of the Negro. The situation at this time demands a man with principal; with a strong sense of right above might. As man that believes in a square deal for all men regardless of creed or color, a man that believes in all men up and not some men down. Neither Mr. McMissy or Mr. Davis meet the requirements of the situation. There is a man fills all of these requirements and more he is a patriot and a very able statesman. I refer, to the Hon. L. C. Dree, who should be the nominee whether he desires it or not. Why not, THIRD ARGUS, start this movement to reward a man that is doing more today for the Negro than any man since Lincoln's day? We need man like Mr. Dyer in public life now as we never needed them before. So here's to L. C. Dyer for United States Senator. JOSEPH B. WATSON, Kirkwood, Missouri. LEGAL EXISTENCE OF PYTHIANS OF ILLINOIS THREATENED IN SUIT CHICAGO, IL, May 31 The Knights of Pythias of Illinois are much disturbed by a turn in their affairs which, it is declared, threatens their legal existence. It appears that the organization which is one of the leading fraternal bodies in the state, has been operating for a number of years in what amounted to an illegal fashion. Two or three charities have been issued to the same lodge and failure to comply with the law makes it seem that their present the Lodge Lodge Beneficiary of the L. of P. A. A. A. A. and A. has no legal existence. These facts were being heard in the appeal of John R. Auster Counsel Rev. of the enjoyment law for a new trial. Auster, was recently convicted of embezzlement after a hasty trial in which the jury was chosen and the trial completed in a few hours. Attorney Wilson, a young color lawyer making a name for himself by his THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1922 sterling work here, was then called into the case and from that time the troubles of the Grand Lodge began. The Illinois K. of P.'s have been ruled it is said, by a "closed group" of which Grand Chancellor, Dr. A. A. Wesley, Major R. R. Jackson, Ed. Green and Auter were the moving spirits. Loose business methods conceived by those in power-enabled Auter, it is charged, to get away with a considerable amount which he lost, it is claimed on the word of trade. His former close associated in the lodges failed to support him. With the Grand Lodge session looming up and the suggestion of the presiding judge to the officers that they get a lawyer and straighten out the tangle, which involves 6,000 members, local Pythians are aroused. On motion of Alty. Wilson a new trial was granted to Auter and his bail was reduced from $15,000 to $5,000. He states he will make restitution. BOTH PARTIES ENDORSE NEGROES' FRIEND FOR OHIO SUPREME BENCH Judge Kinkead Recognized As A Man With Courage Enough To Back His Sympathy For A Struggling Race (GFriend To The Race) COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 1.—Very often Negroes are inclined to think that the race really has no true friends among white men. Sometimes there are white men who are in sympathy with the struggles and hardships of the African-American moral, courage to stand flat-footed and express their convictions. This sterling quality of true American manhood is to be found in Judge Edgar B. Kindead, at number of the Common Pleas bench in Franklin County, Ohio. He has held this office for the past twelve years and on numerous occasions has clearly shown that he is fair minded and stands four square on the Negro question. He is the author of many law books, and for twenty years was as a professor of law at Ohio State University. From 1897 to 1899 he was special assistant to the Attorney General of State and had charge of considerable antitrust litigation. He is the latter in law of Dr. W. W. Alexander, director of the Inter-Racial Commission at Atlanta-Ga. Judge Kinkead is interested in inter-racial relations and has delivered many addresses to white audiences on the subject throughout the state. He has been unanimously endorsed by both Republicans and Democrats of this county for a place or states supreme court bench. The sterling qualities of the man make him stand out as a figure which wins the respect and commendation of all with whom he comes in contact. STATE MOTOR CAR FEES JEFFERSON CITY. Mo. May 31 The sum of $1,874,517.140 was collected from the sales of 291,523 motor vehicle licenses issued to Missouri during the first four months of 1922, a gain over the corresponding period last year of 1971. Of that number 69,397 were issued in St. Louis, Kansas City ranking second in the list with a total of 47,590. JAMES DENSON TELLS OF ESCAPE FROM BLOOD THIRSTY GEORGIA MOB Untied Rope Around Neck. Tanned Blood Hounds That Trailed Him. Sentenced To Hang. Associated Negro Press. MACON, Ga. June 1—Escape from a blood thirsty mob is a rare experience. James Denson, with a death sentence hanging over him did it, and he tells the story in a thrilling fashion. Denson's case has been appalled, the court has denied further hearing, the jury set for his hanging, but he may yet escape the noose, because of this escape. "I'm sure mighty proud to be here" was Jim's smiling comment, even the sentence to be changed June 16 for an alleged attack on an aged white woman three years ago still stares him in the face. Jim, however, had some reason to smile beyond his escape, from the mob, because numerous white people in this and Wilkinson's life escaped was an act of Providence, considering an appeal to Gov. Harvick for commutation to life imprisonment. The colored man, after having safely settled himself in the fall he, folded the story of his escape, white, in addition to the details of the moby action in breaking into the jail at twirown early Tuesday, ran as follows: "They tied a rope around my neck. Then they dragged me into the automobile. I asked them to let me pay and they replied that they hadn't time I heard them say 'they' would shoot he just out of town. The knot on the rope around my neck was choking the rope up one ear in the dark and felt the pain it. The automobile was going thirty miles an hour, and I says to myself, "Jim, jump or be killed." I jumped foot first, flame flooow, and I ait the ground on my feet and then on my head and then I must have dropped over four times and rolled into the ditch. "When I got out, I the ditch sexy serial shots were fired at me. I crawled but they, kept on Teen. I got up again and ran. I was barefooted, my clothes were torn off me, and the girl's cut my feet." Buy The Furnace That Makes The House A Home The ZERO KING Growing hungry, he said he crawled out to get some wild plums and then he hard bloodhounds on his trail. "Pretty soon a white hound came upon me," the colored man continued, "I kept jumping from one side of the creek to the other. I couldn't shake him off. He got right up to my heels, so I stopped, snapped my fingers at him and, lawfully, he curled his tail and walked right up to me. I took off my belt and tied him to me." The colored man had the hound tiel to him, was playing with a second hound, and was fighting off a third when the sheriff's posse reached him. Cutting Off The Engine While riding on a train recently, William Wrigley, the famous gum manufacturer, was approached by a man who addressed him: "Pardon me, Mr. Wrigley, but do you know you're wasting a lot of money?" Mr. Wrigley, always anxious to learn anything about his business, asked in return, "How?" "Who in advertising" the man re- placed his product is so well known now you don't need to advertise?" "My good man," Mr. Wrigley answered him, "do you know what would happen if we were to cut the engine off from this train?" "The train would coast along a white ad then ston, I suppose." "Exactly," replied Mr. Wrigley, "and that's just what my business would do If I cut off advertising. Advertising is the engine that furnishes the motive power for my business." —From the Lumber, Co-operator. SUMMER OPENING RANDOLPHSPRINGS The formal opening of the activities at Randolph Springs will take place Saturday June 3rd.

All share holders are hereby notified to be present that each may learn for himself just what has been done with the monies collected. We are 'most faithfully yours. Dock Payne, president Board of Trustees: J. B. Coleman, secretary and treasurer. The Periscope By Associated Negro Press He was a commander in Siberia, not under our authority. And he did things that we did not like per haps aluminic, savage things—like these we sometimes do. But now we power, in our country, in our jail, like small boys of our memory in the street in Arkansas town: “O. Now that we have you in our part of town, where our gang, is we’ll do you sir.” "We are a wonderful people." If we could only have our hands on the Kaiser, we would have inflicted upon him summary punishment for being the Kaiser and for being the leader of his people and doing his best to win the war which we did our best to win. "O. but Semenoff is a criminal, a violator of the laws of war (such as they are, a thief, a Monster)" - Watt a minute! You mean, that that is what Semenoff is accused of and may be guilty of, for all we know or care in the present argument. But should the traditions and principles of America break down completely before Semenoff, if he is so extraordinary? Should we not hold him innocent and treat him as innocent, until he is proven guilty, and so show him that we of the United States are not monsters? Why deny him bail, when he offers security unless it be in order to inflict as much punishment upon him as possible before we have proven him guilty? He may be proven guilty and he may not be proven guilty. The American officers who opposed him in Silkria are his enemies of course—and all they say may be true. If so, it will be a very exceptional case, for what one's enemies say about him has seldom ever proved to be 100% true when put to the test of impartial investigation. The best way to prove to Semenoff that, we are better and more civilized than he is to give him a square deal in trust of being a scoundrel if he is in Translahalla. He will be certainly smile at our cowardice and feel superior to us if we be as "nasty" as possible now because we are in New York and not in Translahalla. Semenoff is accused of being a murderer, a cut-throat, and all that, and he may be—but we can read between the lines that the most inspiring charge against him is that he confiscated the goods, the property, the Money of some American trading company operating in his country. We never recognized his government and we owe him no official recognition. In law, we suppose our people can now do as they please with him—hang him, shoot him, drown him or just bear-bait him. But if we take advantage of a mere technicality, we will do the same thing that he did. if because he was the de facto government in his territory, he confiscated goods and shot up and bullied people, or permitted the doing of such deeds. Give Semenoff a scrupulous American deal, nothing more, nothing less. PITY FOR FRANCE Race Prejudice We never felt greater pity for any people than we feel for the French when we hear that their "professors became scared" when it "labeled out" that they had invited Prof. Albert Einstein to lecture to them on the theory of relativity, a subject on which he is the recognized authority. Now, Prof. Einstein is not immoral or ignorant or criminal or undesirable by any reasonable human standard,—he is simply a "German" that is all. And we had been thinking that a crowd of white "professors" in Mississippi and as "black scientist" would be about. the only combination that could ever show up the pitiful assailant of mankind to that extent. In Mississippi we know that they would not want to hear of cosmic relativity, or immortal salvation from the lips of a black saint, but we had been hearing that France was more "civilized" then Mississippi. But now France turns up German (or there has been billions of them). he is one of the world's great inventors. Nobody has said that he had anything to do with the Kaiser or the Nazis, but he never has seen the Kaiser. France was the victor in the struggle with Germany, with Einstein's fellow-ziens—and yet France is going to remain in ignorance of "relativity" because France had to lick Germany, as if that were relevant or had any relation whatever to the matter. What more awful, human comedy, what more amusing human tragedy can be imagined than the sight of fifty big French professors frightened and ready to run because the French "one hundred percenters" have found out that these professors had sense and self-control enough to invite a great German scientist to come to Paris and talk to them? Has France forgiven that some of the most effective weapons used by the French were invented or developed by the Teuton? Has she forgotten the curses for some of the most arduous combat problems French suffer have been discovered and perfected by brains beyond the Rhine? Why does France not cease to use these improvements and remedies? Just as in Mississippi, they ought not to sing "Hawatha" because the composer was black,—perhaps they would not if they knew that fact. We pity any person and any people who in the 60th century of human history must be so cowardly as to fear their own unreasonable prejudices. KU KLUX IN CHURCH By William Pickens For the Associated Negro Press They are trying to buy up the preachers, and they will buy up some of them. Ever since Judas sold Jesus there have been betrayers in the 'cloth' The Ku Klux are making 'donations' to the village and small-town churches expect them from him or the attacks which they should be making on this potential murder-gang. Just picture the "knights" of the Ku Klux Klan, with their heads hidden in pillow-cases, marching up the side of the church while the congregation sings "Onward Christian Soldiers," and the Grand Krieg leaping a bag of money in the hands of the "surprised" pastor. (Let the community begin to watch there "surprised" sheepbirds of their sheep). This happened in Elizabeth. N. J., and we hear that even the mighty Billy Sunday, has been unable to command this Satan to get behind him and that he accepted from the hands of these outlaws a "donation" of fifty dollars. We ask in the name of the law and commonsense, are not those men criminals who attempt to enforce it extra-legal methods Presidential and personal morality must "radial support"ky that may mean. The reforcing of any kind of religion and the discrimination against any race whatever are even expressly denied to the powers of government by the fundamental laws. How can an enlightened Christian minister find anything in common with such mediaevalists? We have been watching for some time the efforts of this lawlessness to corrupt the churches and compromise the pulpits. Every form of injustice tries to control the mouthpieces of the people's religion. The church has bowed in the past to caste and serfdom and large sections of it has been bought up by the blood-money of slave truders. It should defend itself against this newer, masked and spectacular and more cowardly form of oppression. Meanwhile, brethren, keep your eye of these Ku-Kluxed pulpits.

One Is A M. E. Pastor At Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Ohio. May 31—A local woman has jumped into the lake light by marrying four men without divorcing, either of the hapless husbands. She is, or was, Miss Robertin Lloyd, formerly of Thomasville, Ga., who now lives with husband No. 1 at 30th and Orange Avenue. The maritalial adventures of Miss Lloyd began when she married Rev. Cotton in Georgia. She subsequently went to Alabama and there met and married Austin Pickett. She soon left husband No. 2 and came to Cleveland, where she met and married George Elliott. Not satisfied, however with her third maritalial venture, she soon married Rev. Galanes, pastor of A. M. E. Zion church, West Side. This last wedding occurred on January 8. Soon husband No. 4 took ill, and while he was in the hospital husband No. 1, who had lost all track of his miscreant spouse, suddenly discovered that Mrs. Gaines of the West Side was none other than the missing Mrs. Cotton. Help, from the police, department was requisitioned and the erstwhile Mrs. Gaines was husted to the home of Re. Cotton, where she now resides. Re. Gaines, the latest husband, in commenting on the manner in which he was swept off his feet by the marrying dame, said: "I met Miss Lloyd and in three weeks I had decided to make her my wife. Friends of hers declare that when she took my laundry to Rocky River, she washed, my underwear in pebbles; black pepper and salt. This was said to have worked a charm which resulted in capturing me. "Whatever the charm was," continued Rev. Gaines, "that made four men take Miss Lloyd to the altar is yet to be determined, but at any rate the law is going to have its say," he concluded. NEW YORK CITY NEGRO MORTALITY IS GIVEN Living in cities carries a heavy toll for Negroes. Their death rate the somewhat reduced orv former years is still, much greater than that of the whites. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Health Commissioner of New York City, has provided figures from the records of the Department of Health which disclose a situation that must very soon be corrected: "During the past twelve years, the death rates among the white population averaged 14.33 per 1,000, while that among the colored was 23.43. This means that the death rates among the colored population was 94% greater than that among the white. "The death rates from primary tuberculosis in the whites in York in the year 1010 was 1.79 per 1,000 of the population. The rate in the corresponding year among the colored population was 5.02. In 1921, the death rates from this house among the whites fell to 36, while among the colored, the rate was 2.63. "In the year 1920, in the Borough of Manhattan, the death rates from syphilis was 6 to 10,000 among the colored population, and among the white, 1 per 10,000. "Forty-four colored persons died out of every 10,000 from pneumonia in the Borough of Manhattan during 1920 as compared with 19 deaths per 10,000 among the whites. "One hundred and thirty-nine colored mothers died as a result of pueral diseases per 10,000 reported births of colored children. On the other had only 45 white mothers died per 10,000. "There are some diseases where the death rate is lower than the colored population, the whites. Cancer, for instance shows 6 colored persons per 1,000 of the population while among the white population it is 10 per 1,000. The death rates from diabetes is one half as high among the colored as among the white. "Not a death from anemia was reported among the colored population, while there was 110 deaths among the white. "Heart disease has exactly the same rates in both races 19 per 10,000. "in the years 1930 in the Borough of Manhattan 97 white infants under one year died out of every. 1,000 births reported while on the other hand 167 colored infants died." commenting upon these figures, D. Copeland said. "They are very striking and give me great concern. I have assigned some extra workers among the colored people and intend to go forward with a vigorous campaign for the improvement of their health conditions".

NEW YORK, N. Y., May 24. The first gun in the coming hot political fight to be waged in this section this fall was fired last week when Wm. Jones started out to organize the voters of King's County into an independent organization, Jones, who is a former sergeant in the old Fifteenth Infantry and who saw service on the battlefields of France, has long been identified with the Republican party in Brooklyn. The Universal Republican Club at 639 Herkler Street was formed by him and mainly through his efforts has nascent support to the Republican Party. The fact now that he has determined to come out as an independent shows the trend our people are taking in the east. Unless something now unforeseen happens, it will probably mean the defeat of several candidates who have heretofore always figured on the Negro vote to pull them through. It is said on reliable authority that the old time stand-patters under William McFarlane are in for a fight to the finish. . By Charles T. Magill. NEW YORK, N.

(6-24) STOMACH TROUBLE IS DUE TO ACIDITY Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For Acid Indigestion So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomachache and inability to retain food are in probably pine cases out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless a teaspoonful of Bisurated magnesia, a good and effective corrector of acid stomach should be taken in a quarter of a glass of buttermilk. This sweetens the acid, even gers, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use. An antiacid, such as Bisurated Magnesia which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder of tablet form enables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of artificial digestents. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia, which is especially prepared for the above purpose.

When Black Meets White By John Louis Hill For Associated Negro Press Chapter V. 9th Installment AMALGAMATION Associated Negro Press The origin and development of mankind as revealed by science is more reliable than political account. God is the author of both accounts. God is no conflict between the two when mis-taken deductions from science, human errors and false interpretation of the Scriptures, all are eliminated. This process of investigation, deduction and elimination in both fields is sufficiently advanced to establish beyond questionable evidence. The existential account of creation that the existence of man antedates the Biblical account by ages and, that the genus homo undersent a process of development from a lower order up to the point where written history authentically takes up the story, there is no doubt, to those层面 the subject, Mr. H. G. wells "Outline of History" will be found most helpful. Undoubtedly the development of prehistoric mankind was a continued process of differentations and readmi-tures. The three or four great racial divisions of humanity are all results of differentiation in forms, colors of skin, mental development, etc. are the results of heredity and environment. Previous progeniture and isolation in a tropical climate were responsible for the long benighted condition of the Negro tribes in the progeniture and local conditions in the great degree determined the physical and mental state of their inhabitants. But the last fifty years have marked a mighty change which is destined to bring about a racial readjustment such as has not been known before. According to Mr. Wells' idea there is to be further readmixture. The last half century has been the material of the nation's civilization, the land and water, and through air, by ocean cable and wireless telegraphy has abolished distance and has brought all the peoples of earth into close contact. The races are already blended into a world thought, in that if the nations and races do not agree by force of world wide dissemination of news, they are compelled to think on the same things. Isolatin is no longer possible to any people. Africa known through the centuries as the "Dark Continent," in the middle of the Nineteenth Century was encased in a vast desert, the ancient "villification" and the abnorms, were the only known parts of the vast sweep of territory. But later in the century the old powers of Europe, ever atirst for fresh possessions in the extensions of empire, barred from the Americans by the Monroe Doctrine, turned to the politically unprotected lands of Africa. Within fifty years Central Africa had been explored, its vast wealth discovered, its territory, after much contention, divided between the European countries, and its map painted in European color. The vast wealth of the "profitable Modernization" has without much regard for the immediate welfare of the natives. But through the process the God of races was liberating the beighted tribes of Africa; opening the roads for civilization to enter; and by providing an exit through which they might go into the world as freemen, not in bondage, so that they had previously been taken. Thus has the Negro in Africa been turned from the process of racial differentations toward that of mingling and mixing with the outer world from which through the centuries they were barred. Chapter V. 10th. Installation AMALGAMATION This same rule of late has been working for the remote races all over the earth. With the modern convergence of thought by mechanical means, there naturally follows a convergence of peoples; and by an unvarying political law different in place, will naturally take the form of each other's characteristics as naturally as plants, flowers and some fruits when beside one another. Whether by chance of infulness of divine purpose, the processes of the extension of humanity into time have converged the representatives of 'all races upon a common meeting point in America. Here, the work of blending thought: amalgamating races and harmonizing action is going on. It is mentally, physically, and rightly impossible to exclude the Negro from the process. He has already been included to an extent in which it would be impossible to change should we so wish. Some one will ask, "Should men and women of the white and colored races intervene?" While this question is not legitimately admissible to discussion in this connection, it cannot be avoided, because false conclusions would be drawn by some not disposed to deal fairly with the writer, and he would be misjudged by some, if left to make deductions for him. Mating for the purpose of reproduction is co-existent with animal life, including of course, the human species, of nature, which is lawful. God, the creator of the male and female, regardless of the marriage institution, when solely for the purpose of reproduction does not partake of the moral element. No one can think of morality of immorality as a condition. In the earlier stages of life sexual element. Among them the deprivation of physical passion was unknown. Among the earlier, tribes there was no marriage law to violate. But with the progress of civilization there were the accompanying evils of human proximity and sexual deprivation. The marriage became necessary for the coexistence society and development of the home and family Idea. And, while today the civil institution and religious sacrament of marriage is a safe-guard most sacred of human society, it is used as a cloak to cover a multitude of sins; and, under no other gudge is there more sexual deprivacy. The woman who sells herself to a man whom she does not love, with whom she is not mentally, morally and spiritually mated, but legitimizes her act by a marriage ceremony is lower in the moral scale than the woman of the street. The woman of greed marries her name for a foreign title and high civil position, marrying a deprived specimen for whom it is impossible to hold genuine affection, is lowest of all in the moral scale. Permit by no legal license, the mouthings of no magisuch a 'marriage' right in the sight of trate- priest, or preacher can render God and sensible people. Therefore, as to the question of whom should be inter-married, much more than race is involved. Should marriage, generally, between people of the white and colored races be advocated? Most emphatically, NO! But to say that in no possible circumstances, could it ever be proper for a man of one of these races marry a woman of the other race, is extremely obvious. Marriage is never legitimate and genuine unless the contracting parties are well adapted to each other and bound first by real affection. Thus true marriage between people widely separated by color of skin, as a rule would be impossible. But, when a male and female ARE well adapted and are genuinely in love, regardless of racial distinction, no authority under heaven has, save the established laws of the land, a right to forbid their marriage. A CONAN DOYLE STORY Associated Negro Press. CHIC&GO, III. June 1—Sir Conan Doyle has created no end of discussion about the return of departed spirits by his lectures in Amerien. It remains for the Chicago Herald and Examiner, in a leading editorial, to show how the whole matter might be hypnotism, by telling of the story of a Negro who was able to amazingly hypnotize an entire group of white tourists. It reads: "Sir Conan Doyle serious in his belief that he has seen and heard spirits not by himself, but by others, doubt. Most people, believing in Doyle but not in his spirits, cast about for an explanation. A professor at the University of Chicago finds it in hypnotism. "It is easier, he says to hypnotize a group than a single individual. He illustrates by personal experience. A Negro, one of the professor's porters, on an expedition in Africa, was alleged to be a magician. Invited to give a display of his powers, he borrowed a knife and cut his tongue to ribbons. He picked off a bunch of leaves, swabbed it with the mouth wiped off the bloody knife and turned to the professor his grinning, open and uninjured mouth. "Snatching up the knife again, he cut out his left eye, caught it in his palm and held it forth. "I saw it," says the professor, "as clearly as I ever saw anything. So did all the rest—there was no doubt about it. He clapped his hand back to his face, took it away again and at us from two perfectly good eyes." What had occurred? Merely the hypnotism of the whole group, including the servant. "There is nothing new in this explanation. It has been offered for years in the endeavor to account for the treks of the Indian fhikrs, who makeistance, a rose bush grow to maturity, a palm down to the root. But as an explanation of "Sirit-Seelog" it has points. Perhaps Sir Arthur will let us know publicly how he would confute it." Alabama Press Association Visits Tuskegee Inst. TUSKEGEE INST. Ala.

June 4, 3:15 St. Louis Stars vs. K. C. Monarchs PAGE TWELVE STARS GET EVEN BREAK IN TWO GAMES WITH K.C. St. Louis Boys Outhit Decoration Day, But Gain A Victory Wednesday When Bell Holds The Warring Monarchs To Two Hits. The National Negro Baseball League opened in St. Louis on Tuesday, Decoration Day, between the St. Louis Stars and the Kansas City Monarchs. The Stars' defeated 6 to 3 with Oldham on the hill. Oldham had two bad innings and was taken out in the sixth to allow Sam Bennett to but for him. The Monarchs had counted six runs off little Jimmy's delivery getting three on the first and an equal number in the sixth. Rogan worked for the Monarchs and, at the hit hard he was given a sensational aerial maneuver on map a dangerous hole. The Stars' gutted but five blows off his delivery but with a little kick they would have owned a greater number. A base on balls to start the opening round was the cause of all the trouble. McNair drew the pass and was sacrificed to second by Anderson. "Carr popped to Seales. With two men out Oldham grooved one for Moore, and the ball landed in left and was good for two basses. McNair scoring on the drive. Donaldson sent a single to left and McNair gunned. Donaldson took second on the throw to the plate and counted on Johnson's single to left. Johnson will be remembered as the husky soldier boy catcher who was with the Giants for a short time last year. He returned to the army and on his release he was picked up by the Monarchs. "Otahmil saved himself a chance," Donaldson said. Carr in the second inning after McNair had singed with one cut. In the third, fourth and fifth he $d$ them down in order and it looked as though the Monarchs would be forced to be content with the three runs they made in the first round, but such was not the case as the Monarchs went to work in the sixth and gunned the second three runs. In the eighth Dudley fanned for the first out. He wilted a vicious drive to center the ball bounding past Donaldson for a trik. Kennard walked and wolf seemed unmetered. Black well tried laced but his best was a grounder to Hawkins of which Hewitt scored. McAdoo ended the round by striking out. The Stars went out in order in the ninth and the Monarchs owned the first league game on a St. Louis diamond.

State Boxing Commission, although heavily advertised to appear at a boxing benefit underlined for the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A. did not appear as the affair was called off. From Dr. Caffey, a widely known physician and conditioner of men and who supervised the training of Jack Johnson for his fight with Jeffries, it is learned that the commissioners demanded that the "Y" take out a license to stage the affair although it was no secret that the bouts were being staged for the benefit of this charitable institution, which, under the whites sails as a Christian association. Harlemmen are of the opinion that the suggestion in the News to the effect that Chairman Multonon of the commission tell the colored people in his proposed "talk" at the "Y" just why colored fighters are being barred from meeting white milt, pushers, played a great part in keeping the commission from visiting the scotton that has suffered most from its attitude.

Negro Race Should Have Greater Voice Helping To Formulate World Policies Professor King, M. Conference in China, Points Out Fact That Race Is One Fifth Of World Population. Associated Negro Press PEKING, China, May 24 - Prof. Wilks I. King, of Gammon Theological Seminary, Attnina, Ga., U. S. A., addressing the eleventh conference of the World's Christian Federation on behalf of the Negro race, made a stirring appeal for greater consideration in the affairs of the world and gave a lucid presentation of the chief problems of the Negro race. He pointed out that the Negro race proximates nearly one-fifth of the world's present population and therefore should have a greater voice in helping to formulate world policies. Delegates from twenty-nine countries are attending the conference, which is being held at Tusting Hua College, a government school for boys. Of the more than 700 delegates in attendance, about 450 are Chinese. Prof. King is the only representative of the Negro Race. Professor King expects to visit a number of student centers in China after the close of the conference April 9. in order to study the mission and government educational systems and the education conference. He expects to return to the United States early in June, sailing from Shanghai late in May on the S. E. Empress of Asia. Addressing the conference today Professor King Spoke as follows: "It is a healthy sign when our student Christian movement, which professes to minister to the religious needs of the students of the world, realize that no large body or group of even potential students of the world can be left out of consideration in plans for world redemption. The Negro peoples 300,000,000—almost a fifth of the entire population in the world; entirely too large a group to be left out of consideration when world policies and world thinking are being founded for centuries to come. "It seems fitting in a meeting of this world wide character that, if there is to be only one representative from this group, he should come from the United States of America where are located more than 100,000,000 members, the race, and where are to be found, perhaps the most progressive and forward looking members of the group to be found anywhere. It is certainly the most strategically located of any of the members of the race anywhere.
