THE POLITICAL SITUATION AS IT APPEARS HERE The Negroes in St. Louis seem to be little interested in the outcome of the coming primary election, except the peculiar interest in the Negro candidates who have filed for office. All factions are united in their effort to re-elect Walthall M. Moore as representative from the third District Mr. Moore has strong party connection and his renomination and election is almost assured. Locally the Negroes will support those who give support in return. There are two Negro candidates who have filed for the office of Justice of the Peace in the Fourth District and four Negro candidates have filed for constable in the same. One for constance in the Fifth District. Also one has filed for constable in the Third District. Most of the interest is centered upon the Fourth constabulary district where the Negroes are reported to be in the majority. In this district there will be two Justices, and two constables to be elected. Every possible effort will be made by Negroes in the district to nominate and elect two constables. Dr. C. M. Powell is the only Nego who is a candidate for committeemen. The 6th ward, under the new redistricting law, has the largest Nego vote of any ward in the City. Hence it is the logical ward to elect a Negro as Committeeman. It is understood that aside from the principal support of the CIO-organ voters in St. Louis, Powell will receive a substantial white vote. Senatorial Candidates Just how the Nego vote will be invited up on the Senatorial Candidates in St. Louis, the amount of some contest at this time. While there are (3) candidates in the Senatorial race from St. Louis, very little support of either is expected from the Negroes. According to those who are best in According to those who are best in formed, the two candidates - in the WHITE SHRINERS IN FLORIDA LOSE CASE AGAINST THE COLORED WHITE SHRINERS IN FLORIDA LOSE CASE AGAINST THE COLORED Sued Out With Of Injunction, Restraining Negroes From Using Name, Insignia. Associated Negro Press JACKSONVILLE, Fl. June 21—What has sent a thrill of triumph through the hearts of Dr. D. W. Perkins, the lawyer for the masonic authority of the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of the state of Florida, and the twenty or more thousands who pay allegiance to that jurisdiction handed down in the Circuit Court in the city of Tampa on the 5th of this month, wherein the temple of the Mystic Shriners, white had seeded a writ of insignia, restraining all colored men in Florida from using the name, insignia, paraphrathi, words, customs, etc., of the Andouf Arabic Mystic Shriners. Arguments were made before Judge Robie of Tampa, who holds the reputation of being one of the infant judges that ever sat in any court, in this state. This case was fought hard, and the attorney was dismissed by Attorney Perkins, and Judge Robie gave his decision, denying the Injunction. This is the first time white shriners have attempted to interfere with colored shriners in this state, and their failure may not be the last of it. Attorney Perkins is being lionized over his great victory. The white press quickly published the entrance of this case, but so far not one of them has had a word to say about the denial of the court to grant the injunction. CHICAGO TO FORBID KU KLUX PARADES Preston News Service CHICAGO, IL. June 21—Councilman Robert K. Jackson, one of the Negro members of the City Council, hereupon announced a resolution before Council making that parades and demonstrations be prohibited within the city limits of the participants appear bound. The recommendation received the unanimous vote of the Judiciary committee of Council. The ordinance did not mention the Ku Klux Klan, but Mr. Jackson is quoted as saying, "there is only one secret organization in the country whom members appear in public concerning their identity, and that by the Ku Klux Klan at which this ordinance is directed. However, the measure made no effort to regulate rites conducted in lodge rooms." High-grade film must be secured he Senatorial race are, David M. Proctor and R. R. Brewer, both of Kansas City. Considering the Support and backing of both among the white leaders and other interest; the Nerre vote will be an important factor in the electing of the Senatorial candidates: Local Leaders Split In view of the fact that the local leaders (white) are split on the political issues, a united front on the part of the Negroes here will have its telling effect in the August primary. It looks as though the position which Mayor Kiel takes will have little or no effect on the Negro vote. Already with the D. W. Digby in the race with I. W. Digby are almost daily hanging around Collector Koel's office trying to get on the Koleus "hand wagon." This is regarded by many to mean that Bradbury sees the waning of the Mayor's power and wants to get "in" before the "crash" comes. Associate Assistant City Counsellor, W. R. Hill is said to be on the anxious seat and is ready to join the Koelin forces. Grelvance Against the Mayor The colored people of the feel that they must support for grevance instead Mayor Kiel, in that they charge the Mayor has not given them a "reasonable" square deal, especially during his third term. The Mayor himself admits had it not been for the loyal support of the Negroes he would have been defeated at the last mayoralty election. Yet he has not seen fit or felt justified in giving the Negroes any political recognition commensurate with the service rendered him. Negroes Should Unite In view of the present situation, the thoughtful, and those having the interest of the race at heart are trying to unite the Negroes of the City and State for the common good of all. THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION OF INDIANA INDORSES DYER'S BILL THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION OF INDIANA INDORSES DYER'S BILL Passes Resolution. Requesting The United States Senate To Pass The Anti-Lynch Measure. Associated Negro Press. THE REPUBLICAN POLIS, Ind., June 21. The Republican' State Convention of Indiana, in convention assembled, passed a resolution requesting the United States Senate to pass Dyer Antl Lynch Bill that is now before the Senate. The resolution was presented by a Committee headed by W. C. Hueston, of Gary Ind, Cornellius Richardson of Richmond, Ind., and Glickhier Stewart, of New York. The argument for the adoption of the resolution was made by W. C. Hueston, attorney of law, from Gary, Ind., and also a member of the law firm of Hueston and Calloway, of Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Hueston is to be remembered as the attorney that had charge of the appeal in the noted Bunny riot case of East St. Louis III, which he had reversed in the supreme court of Illinois. It is the consensus of opinion that the argument made by Mr. Hueston before the committee of resolutions of the Indiana Republican Convention here this week was the most important delivered on a race question, and his answer to whether or not the Dyer Bill was constitutional, completely answered the contention of Senator Borah on this point. Mr. Hueston, to the entire satisfaction of the committee, proved that the bill is constitutional, and on the committee were judges of the Courts of Records of the State of Indiana, who heard Mr. Hueston and at the conclusion of his argument voted, unanimously, to include the resolution in the platform for Indiana, so again this race defender places the race under obligation to him for great service rendered and again proves that he is one of the race's greatest lawyers, as well as one of our best orators. Published In The Interest Of Colored People Court Decision Does Not Affect The Law Changing From Institute To University. Applies To Unappropriated Fund. Will Be Corrected. The much heard story about the status of Lincoln University following the decision to appropriate the law in which that tribunal upheld that the legislature had no power to appropriate the school funds to carry out the act, has been very much exaggerated. The only question before the Court was appropriation of the $500,000 to buy grounds, and building etc., and that was the only question passed upon by that body. The statement appearing in the daily press to the effect that the decision of the Court would invalidate the bill creating the University in the management of the case. Nowhere in the decision to do this, where the court deals with the status of the University. The appropriation clause of the bill creating the University provides that the money shall be paid from the school fund. The court decides that it should have been made payable from the general fund, the reason being that the constitution directs how the school fund shall be spent, and the Lincoln University, being established the legislature has no claim nor can have the claim funded provided by the constitution and the use of which the constitution otherwise directs. All reports to the effect that the University has been declared illegal; that the Board has been declared out of office; and so on are entirely untrue. The appropriation is considered morally binding on the next Legislature, and it is expected that it will prompt correct the error when it again meets. SHERIFF DOES HIS DUTY Returns Prisoners To Jail And De- hes Mob To Further Interfere Will Prosecute Leaders. By John J. Reed Special to The St. Louis Argus Special to The St. Louis Argus JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. June 16—Word has been received at Jefferson City regarding the courageous action of the sheriff of Jasper county, Harry Mead, who denied two negro prisoners, Rajal Long and Sterling Badhli, for having committed a murder. Sheriff Mead learned that the mob was forming and took precautions to defend the two prisoners under his care by removing them from the jail. This action of the Sheriff in taking the prisoners away made it impossible for the mob to find the prisoners. Sheriff Mead then appeared before the mob and in very positive words informed them that he would protect his prisoners with life, and deputized a number of citizens of Carthage to assist him in protecting his prisoners. He says he possesses knowledge of who the leaders of the mob were and will take action against them. After he had announced his intention of protecting his prisoners and sword his deputies to help uphold the law he then announced that the two prisoners would be returned to the jail and he held there at any cost, and that the law will be allowed to take its course without any further interference by any mob. The courageous action of Sheriff Mead stands out as a shining example for sheriffs of other counties where the mob spirit may develop the support of all law abiding citizens of Jasper county and of the state of Missouri in his effort to uphold the law.

Special To Argus LEWELAND, Ohio June 20—John Diapason Wilkerson of St. Louis took part in the Junior, Sophnore Oratory context of Western Reserve University last Tuesday.exe. His subject "The American Negro" won hearty applause from the audience as he pictured the future of the Negro. Last year Mr. Wilkerson spoke on "The Americanism of the Negro" in the oratorical context. Some of his friends advised him that if he would change his subject he could easily win, the first prize of his conference, but he sought no honors from the winning of an oratorical contest nor was he concerned with the financial consideration attached there to, as he could not be bought, but his primary purpose was to give creditable representation to his race, and enlighten white audiences on the Negro and not biting tongues of the Negro, so that he would be likely to靠 the Negro kept him from win sing, he should never win as he will continue to speak in behalf of the Negro in future contents. Race Prejudice At Annapolis Condemned In U. S. Senate Regardless Of Nationality, Regardless Of Race, Every Man Should Stand On An Equality Before The Law; Says Senator Sutherland Associated Negro Press WASINGTON, D. C., June 21—Race prejudice in Annapolis has been dealt a terrific blow in the Senate. It was aimed in defence of the Jews, but as stated by Senator Sutherland, "Every man should stand on an equality before the law." Demands were made in the senate for the punishment of members of the Annapolis naval academy graduating class who are alleged to have perpetrated cruel pranks upon Leonard Kaplan, a Jewish member of the class. Senator Sutherland (West Virginia) Republican from whose state Kaplan was appointed, called the senate's attention to the incident. He told how the graduating class issued a year book in which a page was devoted to each member of the class. A mock biography of Kaplan appeared in the last page of the book, which was unnumbered and perforated, so that it could be torn out and eliminated entirely from the record, and his name was left out of the class roll. Senator Sutherland denounced this action as "the refinement of cruelty." Senator King (Utah) wanted to know whether action had been taken to bring to the attention of the authorities in charge of the Annapolis academy. Senator Sutherland replied that he intended making further investigation. Senator Mcumber (North Dakota) said he believed the authorities of the academy were responsible for the class book and "could not conceive" of a system which would permit such a book to be issued to under the control of the academy in some form. "In my opinion," said Senator Sutherland, "we should not allow an offence to pass unnoticed and uncorrected, nor should those guilty be allowed to go unpunished. If such incidents are permitted to pass unnoticed then it is better that our navy should be scrapped, because they show how far we have departed from the tenets and principles which have made our country great and powerful. Regardless of nationality, regardless of race, in this country every man should stand on an equality before the law. Harry Clay Smith, Editor, Says He Is In The Race To Win. Principal Backing From Negroes. So far, only one Negro has filed his declaration as a candidate for governor of a state to be vowed on by the people in a primary election. Harry Clay of Cleveland, O., editor of the Gazette is the man who is in the race in dead earnest to win. Mr. Smith has been giving the matter some consideration for some time, but only filed last Saturday. He is filling for the highest office in the gift of the people of Ohio. Smith says he is anxious to serve the people of his state and if elected, he will be a governor of "all the people" which no other governor has been. He also states that the demands on the part of the Negroes of his state has been so strong it then really felt that he owed it to them to make the race. Two years ago Smith was a candidate for Secretary of State and received over 61000 votes. He says if he receives that number in the coming primary he will be elected or at least the white-whites will know he is in the race. CALIFORNIA EDITOR VISITS ST. LOUIS Hon. Frestrick M.

TULSA, Okla., June 19. — The barring from all hotels and rooming houses in the city of Negro bell hops, clerks and elevator operators was announced by Chief of Police Rees D. Moran Wednesday night. All the hotels and rooming houses were notified of the order Wednesday night. Moran said, and larger hotels the Negroes with white employees. The order is looked upon as being the most far-reaching and one which touches more positions than any other issued under present police administration. For the first time in Tulsa's history all of the hotels, from the smallest to the largest have been included in the prohibiting of Negro help. In the past the order has been directed to rooming houses employing Negro clerks. Hits Two Big Hotels At the present time only two of the larger hotels employ Negro bell hops and elevator operators. These two are the Hotel Tulsa and the Kaufman hotel. The Ketchum has employed white bell boys and elevator operators for several months. The direct cause of the new order, Chief Moran said, but general conditions existent in the hotels and rooming houses where Negro help is employed, made a continuance of such a state out of the question, he said. Prohibited by Ordnance "While we can't control absolutely the social evil, we can at least keep the Negro in the past and black." Chief Moran said. "Through a city ordinance we can forbid the employ-of such Negro help and we mean to do it." That arrests would follow if the order prohibiting the employing of Negro help in these positions, was not followed in the allotted time by the hotel managers and rooming house proprietor was the statement of Chief Moran. While he was not certain, he said, that he believed the employer of such help was also liable under the law.

The program was launched in Georgia when Phillips was named chairman of the Republican State Committee and given the right of way at the White House on Federal appointment.

CLOVER LEAF TEMPLE NO. 141 Clover Leaf Temple No. 141 is still wide awake and trying to be active to the best of their ability. Our object is to carry out the law as near as we can as we have long since told you, and work in peace and harmony with all. The prize entertainment at Jazelland May 26 was a decided success in every respect. All prizes were awarded as promised. We are trying to support all of our other daughter Temples and our brothers when they call on us and they are doing the same toward us. We are glad to say that God is answering our prayers and the Elks in St. Louis are working more together than ever. We see the beauty in real unity. Clover Leaf Temple's election was held June 1 for their Degree Mistress, Daughter Blanche Foxler. Everything was carried out satisfactory. Our faithful Daughter Ruler who has the Elks at heart was re-elected with many seconds to the nomination. At our last meeting, June 15, our Degree Mistress, Daughter Allie B. Adams was invited to be present with us to install all of the elected and appointed officers. Clover Leaf Temple was proud to have her. She was heartily welcomed and made a splendid talk on Elkdom and how proud she was to be with us again. All officers were in white and the scene at the installation was grand and the way it was carried out was beautiful, the degree mistress assisting. Just before the installation, our own mother matron, Dt. Hattie Lovett, prayed a prayer that touched each heart. Prayer always has been the key to Heaven and faith will unlock the door.

The initiation was held or a river a few miles north of Chicago and thousands of cars are said to have been in the parade. The "Imperial Buzzard" is said to have conducted the rites. No colored people live in the section traversed by cars or in the vicinity of the meeting. Simultaneously with the meeting the S. S. Peter and St. Paul's Catholic churches at Naperville, a small town near the Klins' meeting place, was burned to the ground. Rev. Schutte, pastor, and the state fire marshall have evidence, it is said, to prove the "Kluckers" committed the deed. No act against colored people has been attempted, but it is common knowledge that a propaganda has been set on fot against the employment of colored people, urging that whites be substituted. A shady business never yields a sunny life. KIDDIES SIX By Will M. Maupin LITTLE MAN THE "Biggest Boy" has gone away, But "Little Man" is here. I miss the "Big Boy's" heavy tread, But rising sweet and clear. I hear the "Little Man"'s request "When "Daddy"s" face he sees: "I'm papa's ownest Little Man— Give me a penny, please." The "Biggest Boy" is not at home, And though his 'absence hurts At least there's comfort—I can find Clean collars, socks and shirts. And when I look about and see The "Little Man" at play, That lonesome feeling in my heart Just somehow fades away. The "Biggest Boy" has "hit the trail," But "Little Man" still stands Beside his "Daddy"s' easy chatr And stretches out his hands; He smiles and says with coaxing voice While climbing on my knees: "I'm papa's little man today; One boy has gone to fight his fight; One boy remains with me— The "Biggest Boy" with bearded lip, The "Little Man" aged three. And may the one who's far away "Midst life's hard toll and care Remain as fond of "Dad" as he Who stands beside my chair. (Copyright.)

A T ALL times of the year the children clamor for candy, but during the cold weather it is more frequently made in the home. Opera Fondant. Put two cupfuls of sugar and one cupful of heavy cream into a saucepan and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the boiling point is reached, then add one-eighth of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar and boil until the sirup makes a soft ball when dropped into cold water or until the candy thermometer registers 288. Pour at once without scraping the dish on to a marble slab or large platter lightly greased with butter. When cold work with a wooden spoon or broad spatula until it forms a ball. Cover with a damp cloth and leave for half an hour. Then knead and mold with the hands until smooth, adding such flavoring and coloring as desired and pack in a crock. Cover closely and leave until wanted. Divide opera fondant into several portions, flavor each and color, then add different kinds of chopped fruit. Shape into balls or press into a box lined with waxed paper and when firm cut into cubes. Cream Mints. Put one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one-fourth of a cupful of water and two tablespoonfuls of corn syrup into a saucepan. Boil to the soft ball stage and pour out on a buttered platter to cool. When cool, work with a wooden spoon until creamy. Set away covered with a cloth. When ready to prepare, melt over hot water, add peppermint and drop by teaspoonfuls on waxed paper. Wintergreen patties may be prepared by adding a bit of pink coloring and wintergreen flavoring. Nessie Maxwell Copyright 1972, Western Newspaper Dalton.

This trio features a little girl dancer who took the house by storm a couple of weeks ago with her wonderful acting. Another return will be the team of Goldman and Goldman, who won the praise of the theatre-goers with one of the classiest musical acts ever presented on this stage. Others on the bill will be Mabley and Broadway and the Cornell Trio. The above combination needs no superfluous boosting. Its good and a real big show can be anticipated. The third round of "The Leather Pushers" will be shown the entire week. This special picture feature is making a big hit with the patrons. This Friday will be the first "Amatour Night," instead of the 30th as first announced. Every Friday here after all amateurs who wish will be given an opportunity. Any who so desire should communicate with Mr. Chas. H. Turpin at the theater any night. THIS WEEK'S SHOW AT B. W. THEATRE IS A WINNER The show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week is good enough to please the most critical patron. It's a winner, with plenty of variety. Clara Smith opens the show with three song numbers put over in her characteristic breezy style. They are: "I've Got The Wondering Where He Went and When He's Coming 'Back'," "Oh Daddy," and "Down Home Blues." Miss Smith is renewing the hit she made with Bob Russell Company. The Goodletts, Walter and Virgile, are a musical pair. They have three good song numbers, but their forte is a duo on the xylophone. They score a decisive hit with "Leave Me With a Smile" and "Wabash Blues." Johnnie Woods, the contriliquist and his comical manikin "Little Henry" are next. Henry is hiding in a rubish can when discovered. He has the "blues," is in a quirredsome mood and only a couple of "jabs" will bring him to his senses. A chance to "hit the bottle" gets him "ipsy" and the audience enjoys the result. Henry is so natural that the crowd screams over his funny doings and sayings. "Butter Beans" Edwards and Susie are making their usual tremendous hit. They open and close in a storm of excitement, keeping the audience laughing all the while. They start with "Shakin'" and Susie follows with "When My Man Shimmes I'm Bound To Fall." Butterbeans follows with "That Same Dog" and "Carry Me Back." After a few humorous sayings the team closes with, "I'm Going To Do It If I Like It!" This is one team with Milarious comedy that has learned to be real funny without being vulgar. "PAY DAY" AT THE B. W. The big basket that holds the pay envelopes at the Booker Washington Theatre every Monday night is getting fuller and fuller. This is the night each week that the patrons draw their pay on entering the theatre. The envelopes may contain any sum of money from 1e to $5. Eagle stamps in values to $40 or a pass to Jazzland.

"Red Head," "The Power Within" And Cameron of the Royal Mounted" At The Jestamere Alice Brady in "Red Head" will be featured at the Jestamere "Theatre this Saturday. It is a gripping tale of how a real girl can make a man out of a supposedly good-for-nothing rounder she marries before realizing what he was. On Sunday and Monday the feature will be "The Power Within." The story revolves about Job Armstrong, whose faith is solely in himself and in his own strength, which has carried him to the plannacle of success. The manner in which Job is revealed to him-himself makes this picture unusually stimulating mentally, at the same time thrilling with a shipwreck scene, charming with a love story and holding attention throughout with its thrilling life story. Jane Greys story. "The Mysterious Rider," will be seen on the screen at his theatre on Tuesday. The mid-week feature, Wednesday and Thursday, will be "Cameron of the Royal Mounted." It is a story of the Canadian Northwest. Briefly, it concerns the experiences of a young man who leaves his home in Scotland and goes to Canada, where he joins the force of the Mounted Police, falls in love with a pretty little Canadian lass, and after a series of adventures succeeds in making her his wife.

It is said to be not a sermon, but a real story with a powerful kick. It shows how a parent who rules his children by might instead of love and understanding drives them to open rebellion and even hatred. The resultant struggle between parents' power and children's rights makes drama with a heart interest that is fascinating. Part of the picture shows an old steamer, the "Dying Duck," staggering through a terrific storm at sea. Tom Mix in "The Fighting Streak" will be the Sunday feature. Mix will be seen in a part such as he never played before—that of a brawny young blacksmith in a little western town. Through the medium of this character the story takes on novel color and interest, and it starts Mix off on a series of adventures, that provide action every minute and give the famous Fox star another photoplay that is fairly packed with thrills and entertainment. On Tuesday, "The City of Gold," number three of "The Mistress of the World," will be presented. It raysals the actual finding of the Queen of Sheba's treasurer. Elise Ferguson and Wallace Reid will be seen in "Forever" on Thursday. It deals with two lives, a boy and girl who love each other from childhood. They meet later in life in romantic circumstances and as Mimi is the wife of a disreputable noble and Peter Ibbsion is sent to an asylum for life for murder, they see each other again in dreams. Thus their best story develops doubles. RETURN,ENGAGEMENT BY GENERAL REQUEST MABLEY And BROADWAY Always Up-To-Date, Keeping Up With The Times.

When Necessary and Oh Boy. He is Some Scrapper. This Is Positively TOM MIX'S BEST.* A 'Horse' Thief—The Arrest—The Escape—The Desert Hiding Place—The Girl—The Big Surprise Specialist" will be the Star Theatre feature this Saturday. The story tells of how a young romance writer, sent out by her editor to gain a new insight into the heart romances which she is writing, finds it in a surprising manner in a more surprising place. But not until she has fought with crooks, matched wits with a half crazed doctor, been thrown down a well and generally treated in such a way as to make the young man she ultimately wins proud of her. "Four Hearts," the latest Dick Hatton feature, comes to the Star on Sunday. It is a story of love, intrigue and fast dramatic action. Woven into the story is a double love affair which accounts for the title. The love-making is fraught with difficulties; how ever, owing to the intrigue of enemies who would rob the young Westerner of his valuable land. How he succeeds in outwitting them at every turn and finally establishes his honor in the eyes of the girl he loves makes up five reels of tense impelling drama. On next Thursday and Friday this theatre will present Betty Compson in "For Those We Love." It is pictorial melodrama made of the stuff that life itself is composed. In deep disgrace the father a suspected embezzler, the daughter displaying open friendship for a gambler, and his son a fugitive from the law. The story abounds in homely episodes and intimate glimpses of small town life. THE ST.

It is said to move at a fast pace and to be replete with humorous and dramatic incidents. Lon Chaney 'in "The Night Rose" will be featured at the Olympia theatre this Saturday. The strange story of how an innocent girl may become enmeshed in the web of a big city's underworld, and held a prisoner with still no harm coming to her is told in Leroy Scott's original story. Most of the incidents are founded on actual happenings that have come to Mr. Scott's attention. He has studied the criminal mind at close range; and has been able to show the professional law breaker as he really is. His study of underworld life in San Francisco is interwoven with a compelling love story. "The Night Rose" appends to the heart as well as sending tingles up and down one's spine.

While the Ginis are away the Detroit Stars with Rudy Petway as manager will come to Chicago for a series of games with the A B C's of Glide New Starling. The Detroit club has one of the best outfielders in Joss B. Barber that the league possesses. Petway has Holland, Force and, Marshull to send against the leaders of the league. Pitts lorg has a strong club, as has St. Louis but neither club has been able to get paging in midseason form. The Culbans although strong have not been able to win as in years gone by Much is expected of Cleveland. Attendance Small The out come of the present series at Kansas City between the Monarchs and the Giants will be watched with interest. This time next month those closely connected with the league believe the positions of these teams will have undergone a decided change. So far the attendance has been small owing to the industrial conditions which are such that many fans are really afraid to lay off from work a day to see the teams play and Sunday has been their only chance. FOSEY RESIGNS AS SPORT EDITOR FOSSE RESGNAS AS SPORT EDITOR PITTISBURG, Pa. June 14—"Cum" Posey, JP, manager of the Homestead Greys, and a prominent figure in the basketball world has resigned as sporting editor of the Pittsburgh American. The announcement was made public last week. Mr. Posey gave as his reason for resigning that other duties took up too much of his time. ATLANTA, Ga., June 14—Tiger Flower, pride of Georgia, and an aspirant for heavyweight honors, received a rude jolt and awakening on Monday night when he was put to the boards in the second round of a scheduled 10 round bout with Sam Langford, aged but wiley. The blow that spelled the death of Flower "hopes traveled hardly six inches on his unprotected jaw. Few saw the blow that ended the bout. American Giants Win Double Header On Sunday CHICAGO. Hy — Sunday — The American giants routed two clubs today in a hittest defeating the Progressives of the "chicago League" with Gillen, imported from the American Association and the House of David Nine. Foster worked Whitworth in the first fray and started Tombo, a high school lad from the Hawaiian Islands in the second. Tombo had a nice curve ball and shows the prospects of developing a first class twister. The large crowd made the youngster a bit pervious. He we relieved with the score in his favor by Owens, and therefore gets credit of a win. Beckwith's triple and Torrient's seventh home run of the season came in the first game. The latter went over the right field fence and made a rather shill game interesting. The Hitos of David had a good club but not quiet strong enough for Foster's crew. A fair she crowd was out filling the overthrow softs. It was a good crowd when one stops to think that the American league club of Chicago was playing the Boston Red Sox only five blocks away.

By Bell Features The Two Victories. Eddie Holt Breaks Into The Home Run Class. On Monday the Stars won by a 10 to 5 score, Russell, one of the men outstretched from Kansas City. In the deal which sent Drake there and brought Miller, a left handed pitcher and Russell a second baseman to St. Louis, was started at second and made a creditable showing, handling nine chances without an error. With left hand pitching, on tap Gateway sent Sam Burnett to left field in place of Woods. Lefty Bell was on the hill and although the Fosterite twice put the ball out of the lot, he was careful not to allow any crowding on the sacks. It is true that the Giants scored five runs off his delivery, but this was largely due to his lack of experience. In the first Beckwith doubled with men on second and third and it looked like bad ball to pitch to the heavy hitting right hand batter when so palpably weak a bitter as Williams was to follow. But orders are orders. In the third Rubie's gang put three runs on two home run drives. Torrenti got his when it did a minimum of damage, no one being on the paths at the time. Brown was hit by a pitched ball, Beckwith duplicated Torry's smash and the Giant total stood at five. With Padrone whizzing them in with plenty of smoke and those five runs looked as big a $3 Glbrifter. Two were gone in our third when McAdoo walked. Kennard lined a single to center putting McAdoo on third. Then came the prize play of the day. Blackwell put a pop fly up in, back of the pitcher's box and Bingo DeMoss raced over after the ball, which would have been a much easier play for either the shortstop or third baseman but Bingo is captain, and as a result the ball fell safe and McAdoo scored. Dudley looped, a single to right and Kennard scored. Holt Gets Home Run In the fourth inning, we saw the surprise play of the season, when little Eddie-Holt put the ball over the right field fence for a home run. That surprise wallop put us within two runs of the enemy. "We got four runs in the eighth after two were out. Hoff was safe on Rockwith's fumble. Bell doubled to leff, putting Holt on third. Russell singled to center, Holt and Bell scoring on the drive. McAdoo tripped to center and Russell scored. Kennard singled to right, scoring McAdoo. Two more runs were added in the seventh. Dudley struck at a wild pitch for the third strike and beat the throw to first, Bennett fouled to Brown. Scales waked, Dudley taking second. Holt forced Scales, Williams to DeMoss, Dudley taking third. "Holt stole" second and when DeMoss let the ball get away it rolled to the fence, Dudley and Holt both scoring on the break. Blackwell's home run over the right field fence gave us the final run which came in the eighth. ST. L.

The Stars made a total of 20 hits and made excellent use of the blows as the 19 runs testify. Dave Brown and Whithe had worked for Rube and neither had anything to battle the Stars. Anner, Meyers, Oldham and Bell worked for the Stars and Bell was only one of the trio who was effective. The Star showed a terrific hitting power, driving out six doubles three tripples and a home run. SCORE BY INNINGS Club ... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C. A. G. 0 2 0 0 11 0 0 3 0 -16 St. L.

STAR8 LOSE WEDNESDAY STIRS LOSE WEDNESDAY On Wednesday the Chicago Americans guarded the volley by the bases margin of 10 to 9. Poor fielding and bad base running deprived the Stars of their third straight victory. A lucky shootstring catch by Gardiner in the eighth inning hurt the locals chances. The visitors took advantage on Meyers' wildness in the first innning and scored twice on a base on balls a triple and an infield out. The Stars' batted Owens, who started on the mound for the enemy, and tallied six runs in that round on some straightaway hitting. Hewitt singled to right. McAdoo's single to left sent Joe to third. Kennard bounced a high one over Grant's head for a single to right. Hewitt scoring and McAdoo going to third. Blackwell was out DeMoss to Grant. McAdoo scoring on the Play.

Meyers taking second. With McAdoo at the bat, Owens made a wild pitch but Brown recovered the ball and Meyers was out trying to make third on the play. The visitors added a run in the second, making the score 6 to 3. Beckwith singled to right, Williams walked. Grant singled to right filling the bases, Gardner bounced a high hit over third, Padrona fanned and Beckwith scored, but Williams was forced out at third when Scales scrambled to the bag, tagging the cushion just a step in front of Williams. DeMoss ended the rally with a roller to Holt. The Stars failed to score in the second. Both teams were scoreless in the third. In the fourth, the American Giants tallied six runs on three hits and some weird fielding by the Stars' infield. Beckwith singled to center and took second on Dudley's fumble. Williams hit to McAdoo and when Mac threw to left, attempting to pick Beckwith off second, he scored and Williams capped on third. Grant doubled to left-scoring Williams. Dave Brown, who started pitching for Rube in the second inning, grounded to Meyers and he made the putout alone. Gardner hit to Scales and Grant beat his throw the plate by a great slide, tying the scope. DeMoss singled to right, putting Gardner on third. He took second on the throwin. Lyons hit to Scales and with the play at the plate wide open George tossed 10 feet wide of the plate, Gardner and DeMoss scoring on the error and Lyons reaching second. Torrienti walked. Lyons and Torrienti put the double steal over successfully when Scales failed to cover the bag. J. Brown sent a sacrifice to Hewitt in left and Lyons scored the sixth run of the inning. In the fourth the Stars tied the score. Hewitt singled to right and McAdoo was hit on the base of the skull with a pitched ball which knocked his cap off. Kounard fled to Gardner.

SUMNER STARS WIN TEN .INNING GAME FROM LONELYS The Summer Stars of South St. Louis made in five straight last Sunday by defeating the St. Louis Loudy's (white) 2 to 1, in ten hard fought innings. Williams the Star's right bander was in top form and the Grand avenue boys could do nothing with his shots. Four scattered hits were their limit. A low throw to third, by Catcher Edwards robbed Williams of a shut out game. The winning run was made in the tenth on Shaw's single and steal foiled by a two bagger by third baseman Jones.

The St. Louis Giants Baseball and Amusement Company, financial backer of the St. Louis Giants' base, ball team, filed suit in the circuit court against Andrew H. Foster of Chicago, president of the National Association of Colored Professional Clubs, demanding the return of $1,500 which it asserts it paid for a franchise. This franchise has been arbitrarily revoked, the petition declares but the association has refused to return the money. UNION ELECTRICS AND THE PEERLASS BATTLE TO IT Last Sunday the Union Electrics and the Peerless Club played 13 innings to a 7-7 tie, the game being called on second of darkness. Both teams were erratic enough to keep the spectators and players at high tension throughout the game. On numerous occasions each team would put its player in hole, after which some player would pull a sensational play and keep the plate unattended. This fact was emphasized by Waters, the Electric right fielder, and by the Peerless center fielder Waters speared a liner over his head with his gloved hand and started a double play when there were two men in scoring position. In the 13th the Electrics had a man on second when Waters shot a single to center. The center-fielder uncovered a perfect heave to the plate and nipped the runner as he slid in. The Electrics played an uphill game, trying the score four times. On July 2 these teams will meet again on the grounds in front of Summer High School. The Lone Stars of East Cardelelet will play the Electrics June 15, on the Lone Star grounds. LOVEJOY STARS WIN FROM AMERICAN STEEL 9to 3 The Lovejoy Stars trimmed the American Steel Co. club 9 to 2 last Sunday. The pitching of "Segant" Randall of the Stars was the feature. He struck out 11 of the car builders and had 9 assists. The hours succeeded in getting only three balls out of the infield. Their two runs were made on a pass, a hit batsman, and a wild throw.

C.c proved to the record breaking crowd that braved the threatening weather to attend the initial clash Sunday between the two rivals why they are at the head of the league, trouncing the Tate' Stars, 12 to 5 in a game featured by the headlong gives made by the outfielders, in attempts to make some headway in mud up to their ankles. In trimming the Tates, the visitors accomplished something that is seldom done, that of sending Bramham to the showers. The Tates' star right hander went great guns for the first five frames, but two runs being scored off him. Hampden, who pitched for the visitors, is some slugger, getting a single, triple and home run in three trips to the plate. He was taken out of the box in the seventh inning when the Tate batters began to find his slants to their liking. The sacks were loaded when Jeffries went to the hill, but he retired them in order after Boyd had out his third single that scored two markers. SCORE: Club 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - R H E A. B.

B. Ziff Co. 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. If it were in the power of the school board to elect; we would call upon that body to elect a Colored citizen to fill the place created by the resignation of Dr. Henry L. Wolfner. In our argument, we would call attention to the fact that there has existed for quite a while a STRONG feeling among the Colored people of this City and a large number of the white, that the Colored people ought to be directly represented on the board by one of their race. The Mayor To Make Appointment Upon inquiry, we are informed that according to the provision of the City Charter, the mayor of the City will make the appointments to fill vacancies which may occur on the school board by death or resignation. Therefore, we shall direct our appeal to Mayor Henry W. Kiel to appoint a colored person to fill the unexpired term of one of those who will shortly resign from the board. The fact that the Mayor makes the appointment, gives us greater assurance of representation on the board because he will do so, not only as a matter of right and justice, but because it affords him an excellent opportunity to give some official recognition to a class of citizens who has done so much for him, for which in return he has done so little. In making this appeal to Mayor Kiel, we feel that he will be fully justified in the act. Especially so when he takes into consideration our dual system of education. We have here what it knows as "white" and "colored" schools. The former includes the children of the whites, Indians, Chinese, Japanese and what nots, while the latter includes only the colored. In the face of these facts, no one would argue for a minute that the Mayor would not be justified in appointing a Negro on the board. Unfortunately there is at this time a deal of unrest, misunderstanding and suspicion on the part of the Colored people and the present school board. The appointment of a Negro would readily clear up that condition. In making this appeal to the Mayor, we do not feel that we are asking too much or something which, on account of other conditions will be hard for him to do. The colored people are, as a rule the last to ask for any special favors or complain of conditions, but conditions have steadily grown worse, so much so that a colored man was urged and did seek a place on the school board at the last election, and over 20,000 voters wrote his name on the ballot, thus expressing their feelings as to the righteousness of the cause. In view of the fact in the case, Mayor Kiel can well afford to appoint a colored man on the board, being guided by fairness, justice and his own conscience. The present political situation in this State offers an unusual opportunity to the Negro voters to cast their ballots to an advantage as never before. Because of the treatment we have received at the hands of those we have trusted in the past, the Negro is logically ready to break away from the beaten paths and try the unknown paths of the future. A practically solid Negro vote will nominate and elect any candidate in the City or State, and we owe it to ourselves and to the race to unite our forces at this time. The Negro in this State and nation occupies a peculiar position in the American life. As a group, we are few in number compared with the combine number of all the other nationalities which makes this a great nation. Yet we are strong if we only knew it. We are not weak as some, would have us believe. Our only weakness lies in our inability to organize. The white politicians are getting together these days behind closed doors and are making their slates, and are doing so without considering the Negroes at all. So the thing for the Negroes to do is to get together and make their selection and vote for those selected regardless of the consequences. This can only be done by men and women who are not looking for jobs or political preferment, those who put the welfare of the race above self. Harry Clay Smith, a colored man has filed his declarations as a candidate for the governor of Ohio. In a statement relatively to his candidacy, Mr. Smith says: "Ohio Republicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until near election day) the more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state." Apparently they seem to think, he says that the Negro is entitled to no consideration until after all the nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for black votes becomes acute. The above statement by Mr. Smith is quite true as to conditions in other states. And from all indications two years from now, it will be a common thing to see Negro candidates for high offices in nearly all the states as a protest against just such treatment as Mr. Smith mentions in his statement. We congratulate Harry C. Smith upon his effort to become the chief executive of the Buckeye State. We hope he will receive the nomination and election Texas has broken all records in lynching during the last two months. But the Lone Star state is having keen competition from other southern states in establishing high water marks for the greatest number of these expositions of barbarism and savagery. It remains to be seen whether the states in which these horrible outrages were committed will profess commendation by indifference, or whether they will wipe the slate clean and, once again, remove this stain against their honor by doing everything in their power to prevent future outbreaks. Not alone are the few states wherein lynchings take place brought into disrepute, but the honor of the Nation is besmirched, for there is no other country in the world where anything like lynching takes place with the same frequency that it does in the United States. America is looked up to by the entire world as a humane and moral nation, but when these bloody and uncivilized and inexcusable crimes are committed, wherein a large number of supposedly respectable people take part, there is little wonder that foreigners look askance and begin to feel that their judgment is premature. Lynching must stop. Racial misunderstandings must be cleared up, and when crimes are committed, justice must be given cording to the rules laid down by law.—Columbia Evening Journal n.

Here Lloyd George shines. Don't bet that the men's point of view prevail sometimes. If you are right you will come out successful in the end and doubly stronger. PERSONALITY: It is one of those indiscreable attributes of a man which makes him stand out among other men. It means that one must know human nature, people, how they will re-not under different conditions, and how to back ground a man is much better able to present his goods. SINGERITY: No one doubts the sincerity of Lloyd George in his work. Lord Northlife, the great newspaper man in the world, at one time the friend and now the foe of Lloyd George, has never doubted Unless a man is sincere in his work, he cannot sell his largest orders. Are you a good salesman? Do you possess energy, tact, personality, sincerity? How much did you sell last year? Do your books show only the amount of cash you received, or do they also show how much broader you are and how much better prepared you are to do your work this year? Do you become a better salesman each year. Did you sell your patients more and better health this year than last? Are you selling the members of your congregation this year more service for the present life? Are you giving your customers a superior service in your grocery, drug store, and other establishments? Boys and girls should early be taught that they are salesmen, and that later life will depend largely on the amount of energy, tact, personality, and sincerity, what they put into their daily work. Look around and improve your salesmanship. Judge Harrison Addresses Kentucky White Audience Associated Negro Press *PARIS, KY.* June 21—Judge W. H. Harrison of Chicago addressed Paris, Kentucky Board of City Council, Paris Commercial Club, Bodil of Education and Bauron County Bar Association at the Public School here, June 16, 1922. This was the first in the history of Paris Kentucky that a colored speaker has addressed a white audience here. WHITE MINERS SHOOT Proton News Services CHARLESTON, W. Ya., June 21. The homes of Negro miners in Sharrow, Boone county, were fired into by an automobile party last Monday and one of the Negro miners was severely injured. As soon as the report of the trouble reached the State police a detachment of state troopers was sent to investigate the shooting. Ten men were brought into state police headquarters on Wednesday under charges connected with disorder around the mines in the Calin Creek and Paint THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1922 the Cottage Avenue Grade and the Normal combined, pathetically not historically existent such a lack at their MID-WEST LIFE INCREASES ITS CAPITAL STOCK Will Change Name To Great Mid-West Life Insurance Co. Has Outgrown Present Name In Less Than Year: KANSAS CITY, Mo. June 22. For several months the KANSAS CITY Life Insurance Company has been planning for a larger capitalization. At a meeting of the executive committee Tuesday night it was definitely decided to apply for a new charter under the name of the Great Mid-West Life Insurance Company, capital stock $100,000. The reason for that is the present Mid-West has so far argued its original capitalization that it wants to tempt to increase its capital under its present form and charter, it being that of a stipulated premium company, with a capitalization of $10,000. The Mid-West was licensed to sell Insurance the 24th day of June, 1921 and during the past year has written and received million dollars in Old Line Legal Residency and this fact which has determined the Board of Directors to form a company big enough to take care of its business for all time to come. In view of the fact that the company has been so successful in this first year's operation, it is believed that great difficulty will be encountered in the new capitalization among the Nogroos of the State of Missouri, and surrounding territory. Last year in Chicago, the Liberty Life was organized and the Supreme and Casualty Life at Columbus, O., was also organized. Both of these companies were capitalized for $100,000 and are operating and doing business in several states. The people of the Middle West it is believed have as much race-pride, as much progress and as much business sagacity as those of any other section. South of the Mason and Dixon line there are thirty or more Negro Industries operating and doing business in millions of dollars. They expend annually three or four million dollars for operating expenses alone, which goes to pay agents, stenographers and bookkeepers, as well as the officers, of race men, and women. The officers, directors, and stockholders of the Great Mid-West have in their mind for this company to fill the same place in this section. To file for a new charter $20,000 must be paid to the company and pledged. In the near future a meeting of business men of the two Kansas cities will be called to see how much of this new stock can be placed here. After that Mr. W. G. Mosely, Secretary of the company will go to St. Louis, where the company will be located and Dr. Wm. I. Thompkins, President of the company will go to Oklahoma in an effort to place the remainder of the stock. PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL REPORT Statement of Receipts and Disbursements on accounts of "Trip To Jamaica", Monday, May 15, benefit 'of People's Hospital. The Periscope By Associated Negro Press HARVARD, THE JEWS AND THE NEGROES (For The Associated Negro Press) The Mississippi spirit has been growing in northern schools for years. But when it attempts to shut Jews out of Harvard, the Massachusetts (state) legislature of the state officers grow eloquent. Of course, Harvard shut Negroes out of "the Freshman dormitory" a year or more ago, and nothing was said or done in high public places. Even the Negroes themselves about Boston were afraid to say much, less the thing "get out." You know, there are many Negroes who expect to get rid of evil by merely forgetting it. Some of them used to complain that the "crists" advertised" lynchings too much. They think they can get rid of the most evil people in the world by a doctor of Christian Science hocus-pocus of netting as if the thing does not exist. And so their only cure for such evils is: "Sh-h-h-ee-ee!" But not so the Jews; the Jews will organize and fight an evil and maybe cripple the interests of the evil-doers and Massachusetts' government officials know it. When Harvard wants to start a row with the Jews, who are hardly one-fourth as numerous in the United States as Negroes, the state of Massachusetts will interfere Jews will not endeavor to hide the devilment done them (out of a false feeling of pride); they will expose and fight that devilment and the world knows that Harvard and the Ku Klux, whether they are related or not, make the same mistakes: when they are just about to get away with some devilry against the Negro, they go a bit too far and try to carry it again against the Jew. Then the trouble begins. The Negroes of Boston, who seemed ashamed to fight Harvard and thereby publish the bold discrimination which was made against them a year ago, should not now be too sensitive to join in the fight side by side with the Jew. The group that is 'to proud to fight' in this world, will fare about as well as the 'goodly good' boy on the average public school playground. BIBLES FOR WHITES ONLY (For The "Associated Negro Press") The National Educational Society, of 431. 8, Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, accommodates, and favors only white preachers in the sale and purchase of Bibles. They kept soliciting a colored pastor of Camden, N. J. J. and mame in the directories did not show, trying to induce him to enter into their published contract to buy one of their white Bibles. Finally the Minister decided to buy, whereupon the white Bible selling sent him a questionaire, on which were important inquiries as to age, denomination and color. You must color "makes" a difference with the Bible when they found out this Camden preacher returned his check and told him that they have a "ruling" not to sell to colored people on those easy terms. Is this because colored preschools are not so much in need of Bibles as white preachers? For this is the only sound reason that could be advanced for denying colored pastors the privilege of securing Bibles. On the Stationery of this Chicago society is a picture of the "Holy Bible" shedding light upon the world,—that is upon the benighted white world. And on this same stationery is a list of questions quite "funny" questions in the light of this society's racial discriminations. These questions are headed by "Can you answer these questions?" And among these questions are: "What is Sin?" "What is grace?" "What is salvation?" "What is the church?" "What is justification?" "What is sanctification?" "Who are the angels?" "Who are the demons?" "What is hades hell, gehenna, and sheol?" "Well, it we suppose they are all white. Now, it is perhaps the fact that colored churches and religious societies are doing a large cash business with this society, which boldly and openly and in writing denies them 'hay' of the privileges of 'white folks' School, the High School Principal and teachers trying to make bricks that would board hands; By William Plekens A "Achin' Hearted Blues" "Struttin' Blues" A-3599—75c The Columbia Graphophone Com- pany has more colored artist than any other record manufacturer.

"OPTIMISM" IN TEXAS AND THE LITERARY DIGEST For The Associated Negro Press) The "Digest" is one of the most dangerous enemies of the American Negro and justice. Under its cloak of presupposed impartiality, it can be and often is dangerously one-sided; the Digest is supposed to quote both sides—but the Digest is very canning—it gives a simple line of quotation from some paper that favors the Dyer BII, for example, and then it quotes whole paragraphs of rot from tom who later lynching. Then, the Digest has quoted "both sides"—don't you see? But the Digest has not fooled anybody. The Digest displays its own real sentiment and character when it quotes the following from a Texas paper. It is the most savage and "degenerate statement we have ever seen." The Digest calls it an "optimistic" southern view of the den lynchings and hurlings which Texus staged in three weeks: "Texas has gone amunk, but there is no cause for alarm. The good old Lone Star will come to itself after a few more burnings at the stake, and the customary quietness of midsummer will return. Just at this time of year the fires in the city squares always burn a little brighter in Texas, and the suburban trees with overhanging limits always have unpleasant duties to perform. Within the bounds of the number of crimes punishable by burning and hanging will devrose, and Texas will devote itself to business as usual.

Who should more pittyly build a university or music in America than its Negroes, who are the soul of its music? This university of music is located in the beautiful home /of Madamas Schaumann-Helck, at 85th and Michl Schaumann-Helck, in the house in which the great singer lived, and where her sons were born.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO KU KLUX KLAN MOVE FOR NE Starts On The Ministers And Asks Negroes To Join In Catholics. No One Believ Churches Refuse To Use The Ku Klux Klan seemed to be playing "both sides for the middle" according to a recent report from Kana- sas City. The strange incident in the operation of this organization is an effort on the part of the Klan to enlist the real active support of Negroes in its propaganda against the Catholics and the Jews. The public, knowing of the Klan which is to oppose the progress of the Negroes, drive out the Catholics, and persecute the Jews, had to rub its eyes, peck its ears and steady its thoughts when the news was spreaded over Kansas City that the Klan had made a strong bid for Negro support. And not until letters were exhibited which had been sent to the Negro ministers would any one believe it. The following letter was received by several Negro ministers on Sunday morning: June 4, 1922 To the Pastor and Congregation. "Your people are vitally interested in the problems of today as are your white heathen. Will you supinely submit to foreign religious political domination or will you awake to the monance and stand shoulder to shoulder with your white heathen—offering a united front to the common enemy. "The Constitution of these United States gives to every man the right to worship God as, he may see fit, but does not delegate to any sect or creed the right to enforce their belief on another. As members of Protestant Churches you are protectors before the World against certain religious practices. And this organization (the most powerful secret institution in the world) is zealously standing guard over American institutions and ideals. We have had no quarrel with the colored man, he is American and as such has the support of American Citizens and we are ever ready to assist him in his lawful permits of happiness." We realize your problems and view with favor the great work you are doing in uplifting your people, and in recognition of your efforts we are enclosing with this letter a contribution to be used as you may see fit. Faithfully Yours, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Wyandotte Klan No. 5." By Secretary. Briefly stated this astounding reversal of policy was made manifest on Sunday when a white man unknown to each pastor, except in one instance presented an enclosed letter and departed without explanation. The churches visited were Mason Memorial of which Rev. P. A. Morrow is pastor; First Baptist, Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor; M. Zlon, Rev. Moses Williams pastor; Eighth Street Baptist; Rev. D. B. Jarrett, pastor; Pleasant Green Rev. Glo, McNeal, pastor; St. Peters, C. M. E. Church, Rev. Bowers, pastor; King Solomon, Rev. Clay, pastor; Walnut Boulevard, Rev. Richardson, pastor; and Douglass Hospital, which is Methodist. They were given ten dollars each, and the hospital twenty-five dollars. In each case the Letters were opened after the visitors were gone. The disposition of the money then became the problem. Rev. Moses Williams was out of the city and in his case the money was held by the officers arriving decision. Rey McNeal's envelope was hand- ed him on the street by a prominent doctor whom he recognized. Rey, D. B., Jackson refused an in- terview to THE CALL, saying what was said in the Kansan, the daily paper of Kansas City, Kansas was all However, that statement, said, his church had curbed the money over to the Orphan Home. The Orphan Home through Miss Emma Pendleton, secr- tary, Mrs. Wilhelm and Mrs. G. B. Buster, treasurer say they did not receive the money and would not take it, coming from the Klan, under any circumstances. Rev. Bowers said his money had been turned over to Charity, and again THE CALL, representative sound an absolute denial that any money had been received. The Douglass Hospital treasurer, Rev. Isaac, said that after attempting to return the $25 through the daily papers they had entrusted it to the mail hoping the sender could be found that way. Speaking for the Civic League, Dr. S. H. Thompson said that no action would be taken because the ministers had already done what they wished on their individual responsibility. At King Solomon Church the letter was handed in just as. Sunday School was adjourning and the messenger said "it was a notice which I would like for you to read to your church." At Walnut, Bonlevard, Rev. Richandy, politiced the stalwart, and welcomed him to a break but he left his scripture and deserted immediately. The congregation, when it was read, sound unanimously for its return. Rev. Morrow's church through its officers voted to return the money. Rev. A. W. Davis of the Christian Church was also approached, but his position was such that the matter went no further. A similar condition is reported concerning Rev. J. P. Griffin of the First Methodist Church. Summing up the matter, the conquest of Kansas also cobbled is that the claim visits reflects the sentiment of the local membership which seeks colored people despite its constitution and tenements that it is a white man's organization, anti-Negro, anti-Catholic and anti-Jew. They believe the present activities of the Klan in Kansas City, Kansas were only a political scheme and that Klan member realized they had driven the colored man from them and that they were attempting to redeem themselves by this means; that they desired publicity, and sought it through this means. They even add, membership of the colored men is wanted, stating the only difference was that they would have to hold separate meetings. The letter itself, which is reproduced herewith, carries the insignia which used to terrify, the horseman in his white robe, and the fiery cross, the "invisible empire" and yet addressed to Negroes, with the word "brethren" it seems entirely alien to the Klan that was strictly against Negroes in other day. AT NOON IN SUMMER By Thes. Atkins Tis June, at noon in Summer. When the dazzling sun and heat doth, glimmer; doth glimmer; All is still and quiet and dum. Save the bee with his lonely hum. Save a broccat which stirs now and then. To cool the cheeks of weary men; Save hazy notes of the piano, which abound. With feeble strokes and a lulling sound. Moment by moment this truce shall break. And to his appointed task each one shall take; The wheels of toll will begin to murmur. When the hour has fled at noon in Summer. COLORED BANDMASTER LEAVES FOR ISLANDS PRESTON NEWS Service. NEW YORK CITY June 21.-Alton A. Adams the Virgin Island hardmaster, who wears the cheverons as the only man of color holding down such a position in Uncle Sam's Navy, left this country for his station in the Islands on Saturday. Before leaving Adams told reporters that he was delighted with his visit and plans to return here sometime in the near future. He thinks that some of our jazz artists could profit more by injecting a little more sentiment into their activities instead of always bowing to the commercial end. "By this I do not open that they should not get all they can for their work, but it is out of place for men of the race to do nothing but capital on their work when higher ideas would have a tendency to place the race on a higher plane." Mr. Adams compositions are being played by the leading bands of the country, which includes Sousa, Pryor, the U. S. Marine Band and a host of orlays. That he is a musician goes without saying, for the leading white musicians here forget it is color and made his stay one of the most pleasant ever experienced by a man of color. Butler Continues To Shine Preston News Service NEW YORK, N. Y. June 14—Sol Butler, who attracted the attention of the world while a student at Dubuque University, has removed to this city from Chicago. Butler continues to attract the attention of athletic experts by his performances and from all indications he will soon be the center of attention in athletic circles. Butler is after smashing another record in the broad jump and the experts in this part of the country are unified in the belief that he can do much better, than twenty-three feet and five inches the next time he starts. Sol Butler is regarded as one of the best all-around athletes of the race and will soon be pitted with that other crack, whom the coloured people of American gave to Harvard University—Ned Gourdin. These two boys are shaping up nicely in training and it create the same time as SHDLO(ER) will create some future at their next appearance, especially if they take the mark at the same time as the white lads would then see in this combination almost no chance for the pale face.

Mr. Webb is another one of those "self-made men." He is a product of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and a native of that state. Mr. Webb is an executive of have ability and mass-suming but determined in his manner. He is a member of the Baptist Church and takes an interest in all matters of racial up-lift.

IN KU KLUX Preston News Service BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 21 How strange it is that not one of the 30 candidates for state and county officials replying to the local bar association's questionnaire is affiliated with the Kp Klux Klan, according to a statement issued by the committee in charge of the anti-klan campaign. Mr. Thompson said that he had been informed that some of the candidates would refuse to answer the questionnaire as to whether or not they are affiliated with the klan in which event, he declared, "we will treat them as a member of the invisible empire and use every means to defeat them for office." The Birmingham Bar Association, it is said, has pledged itself to wage relentless war on the klan and the whole strength of the local bar will be put behind the effort to successfully carry out the plan already started. "Our Mutual Inheritance" Associated Negro Press RICHMOND, Va., June 21—At the annual commencement of Virginia Union University here, Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary Commission on the Church and Race Relations, thrilled his audience when he declared the gospel of goodwill in race relations and those who are carving out a promiganda of violence and war rule. Speaking on the subject, "Our Mental inheritance," the speaker said that we had a great material inheritance in the rich agricultural lands of the country, in the organized industries, railroads, mines, and other great items of wealth, but that the greatest inheritance was the "character and industry of the people." He spoke further of the mental, moral, political, and spiritual inheritance which the Negro people have handed down from the just. In speaking of our political inheritance he said, "The first words of our Constitution are 'We, the people, and through struggle and bloody toll America has decided that the people' included those African descent as a part of the citizenship of this country; that the ideal of democracy was that all the people—men and women, black and white—formed a part of those who were to form a more perfect union to establish and provide for the common defense." Speaking of the question of peace and good-will between the races, he said, "The time has come when those who believe in the brotherhood of man and peace and good-will between the classes and races of men should come forth and take their stand for peace and justice and good-will between the white and Negro people in America, because in this issue is involved the sincerity of American Christians and citizens and the fundamental issue of the twentieth century—the issue of the color line between the white and darker races of the world."

CLOUD Eastern editors and big business generally has at least wakened to the real menace of the Ku Klux Klan. From all sections of the country cope reports of the Klan's secret and public political maneuverings, which probably would be alright and agreeable to big business excepting for the Klan's attitude toward Jews and Catholics members of both religions being high in the financial world. From Oregon comes authentic reports of the Ku Klux issue in the June primaries. The Klan candidate for the gubernationnatorial nomination, the gubernationnatorial nomination, frankly backed and sponsored by the hooded terror, lost nomination by less than a 500 majority; state and county officers all along the line held the night rider issue and in many cases the Klan has won by an over whelming majority. The Texas primaries have one issue only and this is between the Pro and Anti-Kluxers. There are eight candidates in the Panhandle state for the nomination for Senator and at least three of these candidates are frankly seeking Klux support while only two of them unqualified opposition to it. In Texas Political prognosticators and students of Klan methods point to the notorious Earle Mayfield, of Austin, Texas, as the probable strongest Klan man amongst the candidates and possibly the next U.S. Senator from Tex. Mayfield, like the Klan candidates in Oregon, does not mention the night riders one way or another in his speaking and public utterances but he is known as a strong Klanman and has one of its strongest and most consistent proselyters. The Oregon president established by the Klan was for candidates to not mention their backers but for the real dirty work to be done by Ku Klux members by the use of indirect methods. On the other hand Robert L. Heuer, another Senatorial aspirant, makes no secret of his hope for Klan support in the race. In addressing a political meeting in Wood County when he announced his candidacy Heury is reported as saying: "When I took my objection before the fiery cross I said to myself, there is nothing bad in this organization. If the clash must come they must know my position on this as on all other questions affecting the American people. The time will never come when year will not find me following the fiery cross and the American flag." Other Offices Affected The race for the senatorial nomination however, is not all of Texas' troubles. Every office from Senator to Constable will be fought out on the Klan issue July 22 and the morning of July 23rd will probably dawn on a state of the United States of America governed entirely from the den of the Imperial Wizard at Atlanta, Georgia. Only one candidate for any Texas office is reported as coming out flatly and fully in opposition to the Klux and that is Sheriff "Bob" Buehannan of McCleannan County, candidate for re-election. Sheriff "Bob" has an unbroken record of having never lost a prisoner and never allowing a mob to enter the portals of any prison under his jurisdiction. It is estimated that he has about as much chance for re-election on his clean and independent stand as the proverbial tallow dog of catching the also proverbial asbestos cat. Invading Connecticut Politics Reregist political developments in Connecticut are strongly indicative that the Klan has effectively invaded this oldest and heretofore most conservative of New England states. Due a short time ago hundreds of new members are reported to have been initiated just out side of New Haven. The political barometer is running the scale and showing agitation in about the same way as it did in Oregon, Texas and Georgia. Illinois also presents the peculiarity of the greatest of middle western states showing Texas and Oregon symptoms. Authentic reports has been received that the Klan is making an extensive and successful recruiting campaign all over Illinois as well as in the neighboring states of Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa. But a short time ago there was staged a Klan gathering of what is said to have been between 35 and 50,000 Klansmen at Joliet at which between 2000 and 3000 new members were initiated. Redeeming Features Arizona and California are the only two states of which there is authentic record of effective resistance having been made to the influx of the political night riders. In these two states the issue has been met squarely and the Klan halted so far as public proselytizing is concerned. Forty alleged Klansmen are under indictment in the Los Angeles County, California courts Political economist, contrary to what might be expected, look upon the Klan's political activity as a blessing. By this step the night riders have brought the issues involved squarely to the public attention. On the one hand there are the powerful religious and financial interest which the Klan is nowedly fighting and which will certainly suffer if Klan candidates are elected all over the country. At the same time there are the powerful political factions, strongly entrenched and for a long time privileged, which will certainly be destroyed if the Klan wins. Last but by no means least there is the Republican party which is doomed to outer darkness for ever if the Ksights of the tar bucket and the stake accomplish the program upon which they are launched. There is an explanation also of many things in the Klan's political activities. No one until now could understand the white washing of the Klan activities by the Congressional Investigation Committee. Mr. Harding's pussy footing can be better understood as scan CONTINUED ON PAGE ELEVEN THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7 TO 12 SEEING OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE, US White Newspaperman Laments Fact That Europeans Have Correct Impression Of The Cracker Americans. Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.—It is very fortunate that a man like Robert Barry, a former Louisville, Ky., newspaper man, who has just returned from an extended tour of Europe, has a splendid opportunity to see and fully realize Just what Europeans think of America and Americans. His experiences were evidently very humilating to him as is evidenced by his articles to American newspapers after his return to this country. Mr. Barry thinks American life is pictured in a false light abroad by the European press, for he says: "Americans are being pictured daily throughout Europe as a nation of gun-toting bootleggers; jazz-mad killers; money-laden spendthrifts; immoral divorce; bloodthirsty lynchers; etc." Of course Mr. Barry should know that the foreign editors could not and would not print accounts of these happenings in American life if untrue. His composition should be entitled "The White Crackers Blues." Mr. Barry sings out that, "European newspapers carry very little American news. What they do print is of the cheapest, most worldly and sensational misrepresentative brand." He further complains that European papers publish long accounts of Atlantic seaboard rum-running; high-jacking and inland whiskey seizures, each with its compliment of lurid accounts of pistol battles; Hollywood revels; apartment house scandals; bonfire murders; lynchings and race riots; etc. Experienced newspaper men know plainly why Europeans eagerly/read accounts of happenings of this kind—which are so characteristic of Cracker American Life. The fortunate thing about Mr. Berry's trip to Europe is that he has had an opportunity to see Americans and their conduct at home as others see them. The spectacle was idged painful to him and his public expressions through the American press will possibly erase the American white people to think seriously of their short-comings and begin to do something to correct these grits in an effort to show themselves before the world in a more complimentary and favorable light. Some such general self improvement on the part of the American white is bound to be beneficial to the American Negro. The woeful orgy of grimes committed by Americans does appear quite appalling and disgusting when seriously thought of. What other impression could outsiders get of American life than an expressed in the European press? The things published actually happened in this country and are growing to such proportions as to constitute cause for serious alarm on the part of serious minded and right-thinking white and Colored Americans who are proud of their country. American, Negroes, throughout the entire length and breadth of the country, are glad that Mr. Barry has had an opportunity to see the exact estimate put upon American life, by Europeans. EDITOR DECLARES BEST OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE RACE LEADERS IN SOUTH Proston News Service PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 21, "I dislain the trained Negro who leaves the South. There is so much to be done in the southland to educate, elevate and better the conditions of our race. Strong educated men and women should stay in the South," declared Oscar W. Adams, editor and publisher of the Birmingham Reporter, in an address before a large audience at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church here last Monday night. Continuing he said: "The question of the future of the Negro in this country is largely in the hands of the Negro himself. Eighty per cent of the Negro population lives in the South: ninety per cent of Negro wealth is in the South. The greatest and most daring strides made by any Negro were made by southern born Negroes, treed together, not so much in race. More and more this race needs to be vanity and race pride as in race character, old-fashioned worth and downright merit. But it will never be done by pling "whining, croaking and curing."

When Black Meets White By John Louis Hill For Associated Negro Press Chapter VI: 13th Installment PSYCHOLOGY OF THE NEGRO While the psychology of a race may be influenced in a measure by characteristic cranial form, the Negro race in America has exhibited a psychology as interesting as that of any other branch of the human family. Some peculiar phases of its mental manifestation are worthy of note. We should say that Negroes as a class, possess average intelligence. Though the word "intelligence" has no place in psychoanalysis save as a mark of the general average of the combined mental phases and powers, the unusual development of some psychological characteristics among Negroes gives them a high grade of intelligence using this term in its general comprehensive sense. In the powers of sentiment and emotion, the Negroes excel Among Americans generally in recent years, there has been decendence of these fine qualities. Yet they are mental qualities without which no nation can long survive. What is sentiment? Sentiment, in the sense meant to be conveyed here, is thought prompted by deep feeling. I may be more faithful than logical, but it gives the finest flavors and lends the richest colors to life. Nothing can transform the common-place into the unusual, poetic and beautiful as does sentiment. Takes for instance, our Country's flag. In absence of all sentiment it is but a piece of white bunting daubed with red and blue—that is all. But, in the thought of truer Americana sentiment makes it the sweetest emblem ever unfurled to the breeze and kissed by the sunlight of heaven. Our Savior's cross; two rough, transverse beams of wood set at right angles—this only, in the mind of the materialist. But Christian sentiment makes of it the symbol of salvation at once the emblem of the Savior's suffering and our passport to eternal life. There is no limit to what sentiment does, and if we distill all of it from ordinary life, this world will be a dark, uninteresting and dreary place. The psychological value of sentiment as characteristic of a people lies in the fact that when moved by it, the masses are easily influenced to attempt and achieve great things. In fact, it is practically impossible to move great numbers en masse without appealing to their sentiment. This is true because the individual units composing a nation, for instance, can never be made to think alike. The few leaders of a nation never think alike. But they all love alike, and hate alike. Lending up to and while we were engaged in the great war, Democritic and republican leaders of the nation apparently did not see alike and think alike at times most cordially hating each other—but patriotic sentiment unified both leaders and people fired them with almost superhuman fervor and sustained them in the accomplishment of the most gigantic task, ever undertaken by martials. Sentiment did it. Cold reasoning never could have done it. Cool, calculating analytical methods divorced from sentiment, never go very far in a crisis. They are more destructive than constructive. Of course from the view-point of material utility, sentiment often blunders, is extravagant, and wasteful. After the war was over and the sentimental fervor of the nation had cooled down, the people seemed to forget that we had heroic soldiers and that we were engaged in a war. Did not one political party continually remind us of the mistakes made by another political party during the war, we would rarely ever hear of it. One of the present dangers to Americanism lies in our materialistic trend. Nothing short of a national calamity or crisis seems to pave the American people and launch them upon great waves of sentimental enthusiasm for any cause or thing. Unless right early there be a rebirth of the sentiment of the founders of the Republic, a far reaching revival of the Americanism of our fathers, the future of our country will be imperiled. This cannot be done without an awakening of sentiment. The most fertile soil for a luxuriant growth of sentiment is within the breasts of the Negroes of America, because psychologically, they are pre-eminently sentimental. Emotion is akin to sentiment—agitated feeling, excited sentiment. Psychologically, Negroes, as a class, are far more emotional that white people. The emotional and worshipful phases of religion are highly developed among colored people. They are more responsive to emotional preaching than are their white brethren and therefore, more appreciative of real oratory than is the average audience of other races. Producing Motion Pictures By J. A. Jackson of the "Billboard" Associated Negro Press Much of the correspondence that has come to the "Billboard" within the recent months has been concerning motion picture projects, visionary schemes as well as substantial enterprises. Many of the exchanges that have come in contain advertisements for the sale of stock in such enterprises. In corporation and the sale of stock is the accepted manner of securing legitimate capital. Unfortunately not all such propositions are meritorious. Sometimes they misrepresent with the intent of gross evil; at other times the promoters are sincere, yet erroneously informed concerning the very business into which they would have us place our money. But that very fact, they prove themselves incapable of the trust they seek. The public is entitled to some accurate an unbiased information on this subject. We offer all that has been so far collected. In one prospectus published in a race paper we encountered some statements, that we are promoted to take issue with out of fairness to the public. We do this with a sense of the responsibility to the show business. Two years of patient work, more than five thousand miles of travel, the expenditure of several thousands of dollars, and the facilities for inquiry-provided by an extensive correspondence list, has yielded the following information regarding Negro Motional Pictures. There have been 28 companies producing Negro pictures. There is in the market today as a result, 48 Negro pictures—just 38 more than the advertisement in question stated. Only eight companies are reported as continuing to produce. These seem to be in a fair way to become established as business fixtures. Five of these are individually owned, or are close corporations and partnerships. Only three of the successful ones have sold stock to the public. A Bit Of History A BIT OF HISTORY The history of motion picture enterprises promoted by the sale of stock to colored people is an odorous one. Of the 34 companies so promoted, no less than 17 have gone by the board in the past two years, seven of them without having made a single production. Two have 4000 feet or more of incomplete film. Two have produced one picture each; and two are yet in the process of organization. Only three remain actively in the business. Two of these being concerns that have released six pictures each with methodical regularity. 70% have failed. Of the non-stock companies, two quietly passed out without production, while six producers made one picture each. Two concerns have marketed a pair of productions each; and one house has made four pictures. One of this type of producer has six pictures to his credit, and we are without information as to the extent of production of two others. Five continue in the business. Nine of 85% have retired from the game. Thus from the information at hand we deduce that 68% of the concern em barking in this field of operations have not succeeded. The stock promoted companies being somewhat the worse off. One of the greatest reasons that can contributed to these failures, is the restricted market available to colored pictures. While advertising matter intended to interest investors declare that the country affords, L100 colored theaters, painstakingly gathered records in the "Billboard" office disclosed somewhat less than 600 exhibitors, with far less than one hundred in the first-run class. The close proximity of one house to another in many cities, or in districts of the same city makes it virtually impossible for any picture to play more than 300 houses in the country. That may be done only after the establishment of the concert ```markdown ``` A Long Line of Refrigerators Tomorrow we place on sale five hundred of the finest new models of RANEY Refrigerators.

May it be said in their favor that they have good reasons for the attitude of eration. Specialized Training Then too, the business is one an assortment of the highest types of specialized training. Men familiar with not only camera work, but experience in directing productions; men with a knowledge of entertainment values men with a knowledge of history and the drama, to say nothing of publicity experts, advertising specialists, artists and the sales organization capable of surmounting the most hostile of antagonism. There are not enough of either of these with real efficiency and experience to completely supply the demand of existing concerns, if the very frequent inquiries that come to this office are to be accepted. The writer has no desire to injure the possibilities of any one's ventures, but we believe that the public is entitled to know as much of the facts concerning any field of operations before they hazard hard earned money. We are optimistic concerning the future of Negro pictures; but we are not blind to the obstacles in the way of success. We will not for one moment containance a misstatement of facts. We believe there should be 1,100 theaters to adequately supply the amusement needs of the race, but that hope must not be construed as a fact. It takes real money to produce a colored picture or any other kind. it cost more by a hundred per cent to distribute a colored release. If the first two years with a picture every sixty days yielded 10% net the company would have accomplished wonders. The sooner our enterprises are promoted with a full realization of the difficulties to be encountered, and the fewer false hopes are held, the more confidence will be felt in these promotions and the greater will be the chance of making good. If one is sincere, he will not promise unreasonable profits and quick returns. Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N.

DISMUKES NO LONGER WITH THE KEYSTONES Famous Manager-Pitcher Of Pittsburgh Team Reaches Parting Of The Ways With Owner Over Policies. Preston News Service -PITTSBURG, Pa. June 11-Coming as a shock to the entire organized sport world was the announcement that "Dizzy" Dismakes, manager-pitcher of the Keystones, is no longer with the team. Dismakes and owner Williams came to the parting of the ways last month to announce that presumably about balls used in the series here with the league leaders—A. B-C's of Indianapolis fame. But according to those in the know, a parting was inevitable. The policies of the former manager and owner were at-variance. "Dismukos, coming up in the school of the late C. I. Taylor, himself a strict disciplinario who was one of the alleged parsimonious policy of the owner. According to Manager Dismukos, Friday's game was lost due to poor balls. This statement incurred the wrath of the owner of the club with the result that the former A. B C player was ordered to hand-in his suit. No new manager as yet has been selected and short stop Williams is running the team for the present. Detroit Stars Play Keystones The Detroit Stars, led by Catcher Petway and owner John Blount and Dave Wrytte in attendance, broke even with the Keystones in the first two games of a four-game series. The visitors took the first game S to 0. Owners pitched for the Keystones and his offerings were hit free-wheel, while the opposing team and added by a light-support succeeded in keeping a local man from crossing the plate. Thursday's game was a free-batting affair with many, fielding features. The local team came out of their Wesness day slump and pummed the offerings of Holland and Marshall to all corners of the lot. McCall and Corbett labored for the Keystones and managed to get away in nice style, being backed by good support during the critical stages. Score by innings. By John Jon. Reed JEFFERSON CITY, June 20-Saturday afternoon, was a gala day in Jefferson City when the famous Cuban Stars from Havana Cuba, roll with the Mohawks at Lincoln Park. The game was indeed a great game from street to finish and Jackson of the Mohawks was in fine condition and only allowed the famous Cuban four hits, of which they only made two runs. The Mohawks were on the job and proved to the Cubans that though they were not in the professional class, yet, they did not care about them. They just walked in and the result was that they were not in the professional class. On Sunday the Mohawks went inside the Prison walls and crossed bats with the fast Peaceful Village team on the Prison Campus. The Prison team went down in defeat in the Mohawks as Lefty Robinson of the Mohawks das in the pink of condition and struck bats. Robinson only allowed three hits.

FOUR CORNERED FIGHT IN NEGRO NAT. LEAGUE Amerian Giants Are Dangerous Al though A. B. C's Are Way Out In Front. Detroit And Kansas City Coming Fast. By A. D. WILLIAMS For. Nat. Sport Writers Assn. The pennant race in the Negro National League, while still far from being a settled thing, is nevertheless set forth to a grove where one can by close stairs or allowance for sudden spurs by clubs of almost out of the race, gain a fair line on the ability of this and that club and to what extent will count in the pennant chase. The American Giants, who at the start of the season were regarded as the best- in the league by most of the fans and practically two thirds of the sport writers, have to date sadly failed to live up to the expectations of the owner or the fans. True, the Giants have remained in second place for the past month, but at that they have not played the brand of ball that will have to be displayed by the club that will walk away with the pennant this year. The main trouble seemed to be with the reserve team of the club. It is an old saying that a ball club is an old club than its utility men, and this has been proven time and time again. When the American Giants can build up a good reserve force they will have to be watchd closely or they will ease into the flag race before the other clubs find what has happened. Thus it is easy to understand why the club has been able to retain the lead of the league and with comparative ease when other clubs have been expected to pull into the lead. There are four wonderful ball clubs in the circuit and they will have to be counted among the most present time the Bodnangpols, entry has the edge by a mile and all the old machine will have to do is to keep on taking four out of every six and the pennant is assured. Kansas City_ and the Detroit Stars will have to be reckoned with along the way. The Stars hit a song the As cannot be halted in time. Mackey Gets 16th Home Run Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill.

Preston News Service It's coming. As inevitable as the advent of the new year is a championship heavyweight battle between Jack Dempsey, present title holder and the dodgiest man in the world, and silent, persistent, watchful waiting, determined Harry Wills of New Orleans and New York. Spurred on by the New York State Boxing Commission and the sport writers and authorities on the daily writers and authorities on the daily press throughout every section of this broad band, Dempsey will be forced to lay their cards, on the table. It's either a case of that admit to the entire world that he does not want to meet Wills. And such an admission will mean just this—that Dempsey, deep down in his Irish heart, knows that Wills, despite his years, is a better man than he. There is no chance now to dodge orade the issue. The Brennan match arbl, the Willard match, and every other match which can possibly be conjured up or be attempted to be stuck up to the guillible public will not work. Both Dempsey and Kearns know this. These matches are nothing more nor less than "sucker" matches intended by Kearns to be final, desperate effort to stave off the Only match in which the public is interested. Kearns' and Dempsey's latest cry is, "if the public demands a mixed match (which in clearer terms means a match between Dempsey and Wills) and if a guarantee of $500,000—(a long term lease on the U. S. Treasury)—is forthcoming, then they will be perfectly willing to agree to a match with Wills in New York. If the boxing commission of that state wants to such a match. An awful bit of life, but right now we are all interested in just how much Dempsey and Kearns demand in a match with Bill Brennan, a has been, who is actually afraid to fight anyone, almost; or big Jig Willard, the man from whom Dempsey won his crown—not $500,000 you may be sure. Everyone knows that the Dempsey-Willard match, while alright in a way, was tainted in another way. By that, we mean that at the present time it is the general consensus of opinion that Jack Johnson, wild as he was at times, was the victim of the grossest persecution the sporting game has ever seen. "No less a writer than Damon Runyon, a New York, American, is authority for the statement. And as to the proportion of mixed matches in New York, the action of the commission in demanding that Dempsey make known his stand and in a short time, appears to settle That. What inconsistency, if, after demanding that Dempsey give an explanation, they would refuse a permit a mixed bout. It is commonly known that there is no law against mixed boxing and that at all the amateur boxing fighters, fighters of the two races form a green traction. Why, then, the unilgalaboon about the various "ifs"? If your move, Mr. Dempsey, and you had better move in a straight line. DEMPSEY IS AFRAID OF WILLS. HE IS A YELLOW CHAMP.

"Jack Dempsey, Heavyweight title holder, dodger of the world war draft, is afraid to meet Harry Wills, the only real contender for the champions crown." is the way two of the best sporting authorities of the country, (white) summed up the repeated refusal of Dempsey to meet the Colored Contender. We heartily agree with them. Dempsey is afraid. There is no doubt of this being true. It is a well known fact that Sir Jack has been slidingestep the dark challenger face has no intentions of ever meeting Wills, can avoid such an encounter. Jack's intention of having his block knocked by his shoulders by Wills and as long as the public will let him get away from a match with Wills he will do so. He wants none of the Wills game and does not intend to take any chances in an encounter—unless the cards are stacked—and they won't be. Wills can't be handled as a few others were. He's square. Wills can fight. Wills can shug Wills can box. Wills is scientific. Wills is game. Wills is young and strong and knows what to do when he is in the ring. These qualities is what has caused Dempsey to Sadd- step him. Dempsey cannot see his way clear to take on any one, reark- less of color, if they are good, es- pecially any ways near as good as Wills. Dempsey is afraid to meet Wills or any one else that the thinks can give him a battle worthy of the name. Wills can stand punishment and can meet out a goodly portion of this thing called punishment. This the Wary Jack also knows and is not an- nious to meet up with it. Jack needs to take it in hand. He takes a lot to liv- up to the Heavyweight crown般 when a poor cuss has been brought up from nothing to the height of the realm of fistania. While in sad need of the coin, he Dempsey does not care to take a chance of having his features re- formed by one of Harry's bane crushers. His rights say of Wills bird. "Tis said by members of the American Legion all over the country that Dempsey is "YELLOW." This is we, admit quite an ugly monkey to attach to anything, even a yellow pup but in the light of recent happenings we are forced to believe that there is something in the American Legion action Jack Dempsey is afraid of. There can be no about it. Jack is afraid of Harry and the public is keenly watching the action to be taken by the New York State Boxing Commission since Wills challenged the titleholder and placed a check for $2,500 in the hands of the commission to attest his sincerity. Although he says that he has never barred Wills, Jack always finds some way out of a match whenever it is encountered. Now he wants the sum $2,500 to meet Wills. Can any one imagine a game driving such a sum as this to Jack to go in and have Wills dust off his crown and finally bring the Championship that Jack Johnson gave to Willard a few years ago? Never Has A Word Of Scandal Been Uttered Against This Negro Champion, Says Correspondent For The St. Louis Star By Francis Alberttin In The St. Louis Star NEW YORK, June 19th, 2011 Jack Dempsey, world's heavy-weight champion be forced into a match with Harry Wills, champion Negro battler of the division and leading contender in the class for Dempsey's crown! This is the question which continues uppermost among the fistie fans through out the country. Mixed Bout Question While true that in some sections of the country mixed beats might be objectionable, from a standpoint of possible race rlots, it seems only just that prejudice be eliminated in every category of activities. We hold its place in the field of athletic activities, discrimination must not be countenanced. Twenty-three boxing commissions rule the sport in the United States, and in all the members are men of high intelligence, broad-minded and strict disciplinarians. Men such as these cannot in true justice to the one be a ban on a Wills-Dempsey fight. Wills is a clean athlete, a splendid sportsman, a boxer of high ideals who has proved himself a credit to the game and to his race. Never has a word of scandal been uttered against this Negro champion, never has his honesty or motives been questioned; or cleanliness from the standpoint of Wills, the man neither Dempsey nor Kearns can bet the Negro from a bout for the title. Nor can they be any question of finding some boxing commission with sufficient backbone to stand for equal rights of boxers, regardless of race or color. In lieu of Boyd of Tommy Burns. There remain then only two other possibilities for shunning a match with Wills, either Dempsey is afraid to meet the Negro because of the latter's acknowledged ring, generalship and ability to hit, or objection to the purse offered for a contest. Many think 'Wills' can beat Dempsey while others think Harry has no chance. Our opinion is that Dempsey is already beaten. He knows that he cannot defeat Wills and that is the reason he is steering clear of him. He think he can't, and he Can't. There is no place in this country for yellow chame Sport loving Americans are tired of Dempsey - they have his number and it is Zero.

Y.'S NEGRO ALDERMAN MAKES CHAIRMAN BOXING COMISH LOOK FOOLISH Harris Put Muldoon On The Ropes With Well Placed Hooks, Jabe, Clever, Uppercutta And Swings, Commission, Charged With Discriminating. By Romeo L. Dougherty Preston News Service NEW YORK, N. Y., June 21—Dow in the office of the New York State Boxing Commission on Tuesday afternoon another incident took place which will be writ in letters of gold in the history of boxing in Greater New York. Dempsey vs Willis things have reached such a state that the white people are becoming all "hit up" over the action of Dempsey in constantly ducking the issue. George Moore, manager of Denny Edwards, seems to be above the ordinary of men in his calling, for with the initiative of a general and the diplomacy which Woodrow Wilson encountered when he had the timidity to go to Edwards' suits with men "to the manor born," but marshalled himself an arms which made up in brains what it lacked in numbers. Moore has felt keenly the sting of the ban on mixed bouts here, for in the person of Danny Edwards he has a world heater and both colored and white people recognize this. Moore started to push this fight for recognition as soon as Edwards arrived in New York and he succeeded in making such headway that he forced the boxing commission to commit itself to a thing they would give any reasonable sum at this time to withdraw—a letter stating that they did not sanction mixed bouts, the missive signed by O'Rourke—(don't the name smell of Emerald Inlet.) Some weeks ago in, a story sent broadcast throughout the land I took the position that Paddy Mullina, manager of Harry Wills made a mistake when he allowed Dempsey to go to Europe without getting on his thirt and making his appearance in every town and hamlet of the old world where Dempsey camped, Mullina, a days ago, issued a statement in imminent action. I had said and stated that his only option for not taking the next ship to Europe was Dempsey was because Jack Kearns managed of the elusive champion, had, assumed him by wireless that Dempsey would be matched with Wills immediately after the white fighter returned to America. But Mullins saw through the trick the other day and timed his appearance before the 'Boging Commission to deposit $2,500 for a fight with the champion (?) within the time stipulated runs run down by the commission. On October 16, Moore, Danny Edwards, Aldermore, Hines, Charles W. Anderson, John E. Robinson, William White and others appeared before the commission to lay their case, before that body. Mullins was on deck and his action in placing this money with this Czar-like has forced them into a position where their courage to show their hand one way or the other I write these lines the sporting officials and contributors of the Metropolitan battles are pounding out matter on the same case which will be broadcast within the next few hours.
