June 28—Oscar Patterson and 25 other members of the World War II in the local jail applying for a prison sentence. The St. Louis Argus Says People Have Power To Stop Lyncling. Future Of Country Darkened And Calamnity Sure To Follow. NEWARK, N. J. June 27.—One of the most outstanding events of the Thirteenth Annual Conference of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here last week was the masterful address of Hon. Morefield Storey, National President of Boston. Mr. Storey's address was full of logic and reason, coming from a soul endowed with love for humanity. It was full of council and advice, cliting causes and effects; right and wrong. He said in part: But are they yellow citizens? And I speak now to the men of color. The Constitution of the state says that you are—citizens with rights that any citizen can claim and entitled wherever you are to the equal protection of the laws which safeguard the life, the liberty and property of us all. This is the law. What are the facts? When it is a question of rendering military service and risking life and limb on the plains of France your color disappears. When taxes are to be paid to state or nation your right to pay them is fully recognized. It is it is a question of bearing any burden during any duty of citizenship, no one can citizen. But when you look in to choosing the men who govern you when you asked the right when accused of crime to be tried by a jury and if found guilty to be punished according to law, when you ask for protection against the barbarism cruelty of the mob, your citizenship disappears and you may be burned with all the officers of the sham quietly by and do nothing to defend or punish your murders. You is a citizen in the police which defent you or punish your behalf the fundamental rights to which all men are entitled unless we repudiate the faith of our fathers proclaimed in the great Declaration of Independence upon which our government rests. These facts are not in dispute. Every one knows that reduced men with illegible exceptions are dearest the right to vote in the southern states. This result has been accomplished by the state paper ballots, by ingenious laws by various devices at the polls, by terrorism, by organizations like the Ku Klux Klan formed to keep the Negro down. The solid south was created and is maintained by such methods and as a consequence the whites cast the votes which the Negroes ought to cast and each Southern voter exercises more than his share of power in the government of the country. smarterly outruling The facts, the lynchings and the lynching of colored men shared sometimes with crime quite as frequently with misdemeanors, and never tried have been known for years. The fact approval of the people in the States where these crimes are committed as shown by the crowds which approvingly witness the crimes and by the non-action of the officers charged with the enforcement of the law, is ardent. Between the 6th and the 20th of May ten men have been lynchings and the crimes of these, five were burned, four in Texas and one in Georgia. These are not exceptional cases. The statistics for thirty years are horrifying. Coatesville in Pennsylvania: Springfield and East St. Louis and Chicago in Illinois Omahn, Tulsa., Washington. Atlanta rise to our memories among the cases where Negroes were murdered by wholesale, their property destroyed and the criminals went whipped of Justice. In Coatesville one man was acquitted and the criminals were acquitted. The facts of course varied in different cases, but in all the Negroes were outraged with substantial impunity. I need not to this (Continued On Page 7.) Baltimore Klan Admits Fight Is On Negro People Associated Negro Fresn BALTIMORE, Md. June 28—The Ku Klux Klan is increasing its membership in this State between 800 and 1,000 members a week. At least this is the activation of Dr. P. Barna Johnston of the Baltimore Klan. Dr. Johnston admits the main efforts of the Klan are to be directed against Negroes and Roman Catholics. He also declares that the organization is to more actively into politics and by that means certain a more white women for the advancement of the Negro community. "He is the man who has been the man in the most the black man has been." Published In The Interest Of Colored People TO WIPE OUT ITS MORTGAGE BY FIRE First Baptist Church Will Set New Pace In Religious Business Management, Sunday, July 9. Perhaps for a century or more, First Baptist Church, the oldest Christian institution for Colored people west of the Mississippi River, without regard to denominations, has labored under the most spurious odds and trying circumstances in the direction of closing a very strangely buffeting debt. The libelation of the obligation aparently was more like the fable of "Aladdin's Lamp" or chasing the "Will-O-the-Wisp" than like any honest efforts to settle an honest debt. For many times in the course of the struggle was it construed that the final payment of the bills was in arms reach, but just as many times did the plans miscarry: For often with a frantic plunge forward in the hope of grasping its culmination once for all, the "thought-to-be-light" of the military like the fable previously referred to, only resumed itself into a deep可视化ization of phosphorescence. But all these deceptions and disappointments to the contrary and the leadership, whether noble or ignoble, sometimes because of and sometimes in spite of, the rank and file of the membership kept the faith, and held the old ship Zion afloat, if not always under control, until the chart and compass-bearing leadership of the present administration, in the face of the C.S.T. B. and the-official boards, that seemed to be signaling them, either by spiritual wireless or radio, to hold the fort; could take its victorious stand. This cloud of uncertainty and gloom of despondency which was more than a hundred years accumulating has been passed through in the short space of four years of the war, and finally dispelled by the torch to be lighted in the burning of the mortgage. The public is invited to witness this unique ceremony at the present site, Cardinal and Bell Avenues, July 9. ST. LOUIS STARS PARK OPENING Sunday, July 9 To Be A Big Day. The Occasion To Be Graced With the Presence Of Gov. Hyde And Mayor Kiel. Representative Walthall M. Moore Will Be In Charge Of The Program. The formal opening of the St. Louis Stars baseball park is scheduled to take place Sunday July 8th. An elaborate program has been arranged.

Waltshall Moore In Charle Representative Waltshall M. Moore will have charge of the program, and those who know how he does things is looking forward to a rare event. The Colored people of the city are awaiting the opening of the park with unstinted pride, it being the only park owned and controlled by the Negroes. It is freely predicted judging from the present interest that more than 10,000 persons will be at this opening game. The Stars park is located at Market and Compton, close to everywhere. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1922 LINCOLN STILL A UNIVERSITY Judge Conway Elder So Advises When He Is Asked For An Opinion. Jefferson City, Mo. June 27—Some people out in the State as well as some in the large cities may not understand the opinion of the Supreme Court in passing on the Lincoln University condition and I feel it my duty to have the Negroes of the State to know that the recent decision does not, in any way change the name of Lincoln University back to Lincoln Institute, not does it change any of the Board personnel. Some people have had it in mind that the decision handed down had in its interpretation that the School would revert back to an Institution. I am proud to say that I called up Judge Coinway Elder in his office in the Supreme Court Building and had him give me an opinion on the matter and he informed me that the decision in no way effected the name of the School nor did it change the Board of Curators. I want to say that in as many cases the Supreme Court stated that the Lincoln University's building not constitutional. It will be cannort assured—included in this Constitution because the feeling here is in direct sympathy with the School by over two-thirds of the members of the Constitutional Convention and our Negro Representative, Honorable R. F. Bowles is one of the members of the Educational Committee and he is, I am of the opinion, going to safeguard the Negro Schools. The Law, as it stands, does not bear the Negro from the State School but it does make a special provision on the Public Schools and I am of the opinion at this time for such to have happened is a God send to us, as the Constitutional Convention is the only one that can handle the matter and they are ready to see that we will have our portion of consideration when the time comes. It is strange to me that the Board allowed for Schools in the State School was the only one hold up. Negroes read between the lines and wake up. ST. LOUIS WOMAN WINS WILL CASE ST. LOUIS WOMAN WINS WILL CASE Mrs. Tillie Griffin Breaks Will Of Sister And Comes In Possession Of Valuable Property. Represented In Legal Battle By Geo. L. Vaughn Of St. Louis. Plaintiff Popular In Fraternal And Church Work. CLAYTON. Mo. June 27—A jury in Circuit Judge Wurdeman's Court, at Clayton, after twenty-five minutes deliberation: last Saturday, brought in verdict breaking—the will of the late Martha Simpson, sister of Mrs. Matilda Griffin.

The case attracted considerable attention in St. Louis County as Cary and Gertrude Wade of Ferguson, and their children, and one Susan Jones Hill were the beneficiaries mentioned in the will.

The attorney on the other side was also white. Mrs Griffin was represented by Attorney Gen. L. Vaughn of the firm of Vaughn and Garner. When seen by an Argus reporter Mrs Griffin was load in her praise of Atty Vaughn. She said that, as a race woman, she was willing to pin her faith in her own people and that she sat in the court for two days and witnessed one of the keenest legal battles in the history of St. Louis County, and attorney Artrum in fine style. She said that her in laws and jurors were loud in their praises of the splendid work done by Attorney Vaughn, and that it is useful in toll her Negro lawyers and Negro elegans cannot get a fair deal from the courant. She has seen it tested and power untrue. Mrs Griffin was all miles over her victory and is very happy in her in the possession and affection of her late sister, whom she loved devoutly and cared for in the last. Mrs Griffin says she is a beautiful woman and that she is a beautiful woman. KAS. NEGROES WANT OFFICES Several File For Elective Positions. Editor Kennedy For County Commissioner Is Regarded A Winner. Special KANSAS CITY, KANS., June 27—A deal of interest is being manifested in local politics looking forward to the coming primary in August. Negroes are among those seeking the suffrage of the people. Conspicuous among those is, Thomas Kennecott, owner of the Kansas City Advocate, and his advocacy for the office of County Commissioner of the Second District, comprising the First, Second and Third wards, running on the Republican ticket, subject to the choice of the voters at the primary election, August 1. Mr. Kennedy has been solicited to run through the influence and endorsement of electors in almost precisely in this District.

Knights of Pythias for the State of Kansas, and also a member of the United Nations, besides a number of civic organizations. He has been a trustee of Western University for six years.

Mr. Kennedy is not the tool of any political clique or parcel of men, but, if elected, will endeavor to serve the entire citizenry without fear or not naming upon nationality but American. Mr. Kennedy's newspaper has never been used as a means of giving publicity to scandal or the "yellow" brand of journalism. On the contrary, it has been published with a view of pleasing the older, thinker, and better qualification for the coming citizens, and he will attempt to uphold a similar policy in dealing with county affairs, should he succeed in being elected to the office. The impartiality and fairness he has tried to give to his news will be his aim in any office he is elected to. He will give his friends among all classes, who will give him their earnest support.

A Square Deal For Every Man PRICE 5 CENTS MOB'S SAVAGE LYNCHING IS DESCRIBED BY A WHITE MAN Suspicion Rests On Whites Who Had Been Driven From The County In A Bitter Feud War. Were In Hiding While Colored Men Were Being Tortured To Death. Later Arrested And Released. NEWARK, N. J., June 28 — Speaking at Thursday's meeting of the Thirteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Ad-vancement of Colored People, in Bethany Baptist Church, 299 Bank street, Newark, Daniel Kelly, white Texan from Waco, told a dramatic story of a deal by a mob of innocent Negroes Kevin Texas, on May 7, 1922. Mr. Kelly said in part: "Three Negroes were burned at the stake in Kirvin, Texas, May 7, for the alleged offense of brutally assaulting and killing a seventeen year old white girl, Eula Ausley. A week later I personally investigated and found the facts to be, as follows: "Between the family of John King grandfather of Eula Ausley, and a neighboring family of Prowells there had been a bitter fend in which one of the King boys had been malmed and two Prowells driven from the County. The Prowells where the girl's body was found foot trucks led to the Prowell and the two Prowells disappeared while the possum was hunting for the perpetrators of the murder. After the burning of the Negroes the Prowells were arrested and later-released when they explained that they had been making bran mash in the thicket. The truth of their story was not investigated and later-released when they explained that the bran mash was there or not. John King said he was, certain that white men were implicated in the crime. "Of the three Negroes burned the sheriff said that one was innocent in his opinion, and the evidence shows that not more than three could have done the act although five were mobbed to death for it. The sentiment of the people general was that an 'example' had been made, a small consequence whether the Negroes were guilty or innocent." Mr. Kelly was sent to Texas by and made his investigation for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people.

Some times you have to get him mad to bring his manliness to the surface; you have got to "get his goat" to get his money. Make your letters hit him so hard that they draw a return fire; for, says Samuel Want. "Once a debtor can be aroused to reply, his account meets the hopeless clap." GRAND PICNIC SPECIAL NOTICE "What's in a Name?" BY MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name; its history; meaning; whence it was derived; significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel NORSE mythology is filled with valiant names which are the fore-runners of many of our feminine proper names in current use today. Geraldine is one such and her history dates back to the days when Valkyrie drove their splendid chariots over the fields of conflict in the land of the midnight sun. It means "spear power," thus making its fortunate possessor one of the company of battle maids so honored by those of Scandinavian blood. From Norway and Sweden, the forerunner of Geraldine made its appearance among the Anglo-Saxons as St Gerhold, which was straightway changed to Gerald and because of the saintly reputation of its first bearer the masculine name became enormously popular in England, where it is still a favorite in the aristocratic class. "Morte d'Arthur" added to the vogue of Gerald, since Gareth, or Garret, Knight of the Round Table, was said to be the equivalent for Gerald Some etymologists disagree with this contention. The first Geraldine was Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald, daughter of the famous Maurice Fitzgerald, whom Surrey made the heroine of his poetry under the title of Fair Geraldine. Geraldine's talismanic gem is the emerald which is said to give the wearer such intuitive powers that she may be able to foretell events. It quickens the intelligence and sharpens the wits, but is an enemy to passion. Wednesday is Geraldine's lucky day and 3 her lucky number. The hawthorne is her flower.

THIS WEEK'S SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE The vanessa tille tall at 55' 8" Bloody Washington. The theatre this week is made up of four good nets, two trusses in double and a single.

The shorthand of the miniature Another good song number is "When You Go Down and Go Out." The song and dance is full of joy. The Cornell and Wicklund Trio of fun and fiddle comes next. The opening is a lovely song and dance. This is followed with national team work by the two then song and dance numbers held in a wristband and later crossing. The art good work. Lester White, musicologist, keeps the audience laughing while he is on the stage. He Roweer and Hemp parts the good work in humour work. The continual Jackson Train of men close the bill.

The Gamer will expect from its usual policy and show one picture for three days next Thursday. Friday and Saturday. The attraction will be Carl Laemmrich's super-production "Foolish Wives." Manager James decided that one or two days was not enough time to permit all his patrons to see this colossal drama of Monte Carlo, therefore the unusual booking. It is said to be a real million-dollar picture. Its actual cost up to the time of its first showing was $1,193.726. This stupendous sum was expended in the construction of gigantic and costly acts and in the hiring of thousands of "extra" actors and actresses to make up the crowd scenes. Erich von Strheim, the author, director and principal actor in the picture, prided himself upon reproducing at Universal City. Cal, the exact scenes and activities to be found at Monte Carlo Astounding scenes showing operations of the adventurers and adventurerses who prey upon visitors at Monte Carlo are shown. Not only are the private house parties with their bitz zarre crowds and their games of chance depicted, but the methods of international crooks and social vampires, both male and female, are exposed in telling scenes. It is said that 15,000 persons were used in the production. "The Savage Woman," "When East Comes West" And "Grand Larceny," At Star Clara Kimbal Young will be presented at The Star Theatre this Saturday in "The Savage Woman." It is the story of a beautiful creature of the African jungle and her reactions to the restrictions of civilized life. to the restrictions of civilized life. "On Sunday, The State of Franklyn Farnum "When East Comes West" is in the story of a Easterner who arrives in a wild west town and the cowboys are running the sheriff out.

All watch with a deal of interest what in this case, and in the meanwhile, hopes government will see its duty and lynching. After the murder-massacre of some twenty or twenty-five men in a mining district of Illinois a few days ago, no thinking person can't but see the danger of the growing spirit of lawlessness which is taking an active hold upon the American people at this time. There is not a shadow of doubt in our mind but that the leaders, or at least some of the directors of the mob, were leaders or witnesses to the East St. Louis massacre of a few years ago. "They shot them down like rabbits" was a report following the East St. Louis affair, and they shot them down like rabbits at Herrin a few days ago. The perpetrators of these crimes get their license from the actions of the law where similar crimes have been committed by the lawless element of the communities. The acts of the Illinois mobs were fashioned after the mobs of the South, differing only in purpose. The victims in either case, were disarmed and tied so as to make sure of no defense. This was as in the case of all mobs, a cowardly deed and deserving the condemnation of every law-abiding citizen of the land. It will be remembered that because of the Negroes in America having been the principal victims of the mob spirit, little or nothing has been done to stop it, but on the other hand the mobs have been encouraged in all their artocious deeds. The encouragement which the mob spirit has received in the past made possible the awful massacre of men, two dozen or more, in the mine fields of Illinois, whose only offense was "desire to work." The community in which those minors were murdered will no doubt, say it is powerless to punish those who committed the crime. The State of Illinois will echo the same voice, but what sayeth Uncle Sam? It is clearly the duty of the United States to take a hand in this wholesale lynchings where states are unable or indifferent to punish the offenders. We shall watch with a deal of interest what actions will be taken in this case, and in the meanwhile, hope that the United States government will see its duty and do it—put a stop to lynching. SCHOOL BOARD GRANTS HEARING Bring granted the Central School Patrons' School Board a few days ago, is destined to nation as it effects the colored children of love possibly could do. Attentive hearing given the committee seated was willing to listen and learn. Listen to the contention for a high school east of Colorado better Normal and Teachers Training rise of a few, but a necessity to the grow the children of the City. And now that the Board and every point backed by the una colored people of the city, its the bounded Education to act favorably in the matter devise means that will bring about an justice of the cause, and the reasonableness not admit of argument. That there are carry out the program is already admitted. Question to consider now in this connection their duty? WAT'S THE MATTER WITH TEXAS WOMEN? In the past week another lynching of a man down in Texas. Same old manufactured-sterotyped story "on a white woman or girl is given them for the lynching. Smoking public is beginning to wonder what the white women of Texas that they are a Negro men who would rape them? To a moment, one can't but discount the greedies, or conclude that the white women or girls themselves in a position to invite attention claiming their innocence. After-facts which have been disclosed follicular" lynchings, show that petty jealousy rights and quarrels have been the principle and skirts of the white women of the city to hide the real cause of most of the lynchings of the white women of the South are beet of publicity. Let them rise in their mind and an investigation of alleged attacks, to be quite prevalent in certain sections of this to themselves and the cause of right. The hearing granted the Central School Patrons Association by the School Board a few days ago, is destined to help the school situation as it effects the colored children of the City as no other move possibly could do. The attentive hearing given the committee showed that the board was willing to listen and learn. Listen to facts and learn that the contention for a high school east of Grand Boulevard and for better Normal and Teachers Training School was not the noise of a few, but a necessity to the growth, life and culture of the children of the City. And now that the facts are before the Board and every point backed by the unanimous support of the colored people of the city, its the bounded duty of the Board of Education to act favorably in the matter complained of and to devise means that will bring about an immediate relief. The justice of the cause, and the reasonableness of the requests do not admit of argument. That there are sufficient funds to carry out the program is already admitted. Therefore, the only question to consider now in this connection is, will the board do their duty? WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH TEXAS WOMEN? During the past week another lynching of a Negro has taken place down in Texas. The same old manufactured-sterotyped story "attempted, or assault" on a white woman or girl is given the public as the cause for the lynching. The thinking public is beginning to wonder what's the matter with the white women of Texas that they are almost daily attacked by Negro men who would rape them? To listen to reason for a moment, one can't but discount the greater portion of such charges, or conclude that the white women of the South are placing themselves in a position to invite attack and at the same time claiming their innocence. The after-facts which have been disclosed following man of the "regular" lynchings, show that petty jealousies, personal grudge, fights and quarrels have been the principal cause of lynchings and skirts of the white women of the South have been used to hide the real cause of most of the lynchings. Surely the white women of the South are becoming tired of this kind of publicity. Let them rise in their womanhood and demand an investigation of alleged attacks, that are reported to be quite prevalent in certain sections of the South. They owe this to themselves and the cause of right and justice. I get nervous because the party leaders say "leses" behind closed doors where they are negro will know what they are doing. The logical thing to do in such a case, is just wait "slate" out of hiding, look it over carefully, it is scratch it so bad until the makers wont day. I cannot be a "maker" you can surely be a curse, we do not mean to slaughter our trust "Billy" gets in the wrong pen sometimes give nothing to lose by scratching those who believe are not your friends. Neither cang a slate made behind closed doors. wonder if Mayor Kiel will appoint a colored ward? Don't get nervous because the party leaders are making their "slates" behind closed doors where they are quite sure that no Negro will know what they are doing. The only sensible and logical thing to do in such a case, is just wait until they bring the "slate" out of hiding, look it over carefully and "smash it." That is scratch it so bad until the makers wont know it after election day. If you cannot be a "maker" you can surely be a breaker. Of course, we do not mean to slaughter our true and tried friends, but "Billy" gets in the wrong pen sometimes. We have nothing to lose by scratching those who you have reason to believe are not your friends. Neither can you lose by breaking a slate made behind closed doors. We wonder if Mayor Kiel will appoint a colored man on the School Board? Don't vote for any one for U. S. Senate unless you know their position on the Dyer bill. PAGE SIX The St. Louis Argus RUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE SUBSCRIPTION RATES MEMBER THE SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNESS SLATE BREAKING This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo. W. Buckner PULLING TOGETHER The Y. W. C. A. advertised a boat excursion and about 3,000 people enjoyed the Mississippi breaches on last Monday night. Here is a fine example of the thinking element of the community pulling together. The Y. W. C. A. deserves the sullied co-operation and wholehearted support of the community. With its staff of trained workers it is endeavoring to make the life of the girl more conplete and above the average. It invites a limited number of girls to take advantage of its summer camp where not only wholesome food and godl sleep quarters are provided, but also where evidenced. The Employment Department offers free of charge to young women. Clubs are also conducted at the centers in the neighborhood for the development of higher ideals among young women. The success of the excursion is a testimonial to the high esteem on the part of the citizens for the community work which this organization is doing and is indeed a splendid send-off to its new Executive Secretary. More and more the citizens of the community must realize the wonderful part in the building of citizenship which social service organizations perform, and must inquire more carefully into the daily workings and policies of the various organizations which receive their support from the community. It is a very fine thing that the organization so well up to the required measures so modern social service organizations. We trust this splendid work will continue to merit the full support of the public. THE LIBERIAN LOAN IS A "MELON" FOR FOURTEEN MORE WHITE OFFICIALS Associated Negro Press. Annual Salaries $3,300 To $15,000 Must Be Paid To United States Appointees By Republic. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 28 There appears to be a "colored gentleman in the woodpile" of the Liberian Loan situations. What seems to be authenticated information voles the content that there is considerable of a "melon" to be offered the "fairful" when the Liberian government gets its somewhat anxious hands on the $5,000,000 which the United States government proposes to lend its dark sister Republic. This "melon" is a $78,000 proposition, and is to be devided as follows: One Financial Commissioner, $15,000 per annum. One Deputy Financial Commissioner, $10,000 per annum. One Auditor, $6,000 per annum. 3 Administrative Assistants, $6,000 per annum each. 4 other officers, $4,000 per annum. One Major, $4,200 per annum. 3 Captains, $3,000 per annum each. Total, $78,000 per annum. "Where do we come in at," is the query "that is just at this juncture agitating the minds of the "few and faithful" among the brethren who are now and ever have been in the front places of government "melon" enters that room than does fear that the proposed commission must bear a pure lily-white body. This fear is founded in the facts of history. It appears to be a morulous fact that whenever money is in sight the "color line" fades to a paleness that is of startling clearness. In fact there is a breed of white government "purse palm" for money—just simply money for another who has the "forking over" to do. In this instance the Liberian government will foot the bill. But what does that matter to these fellows who badly need the money. It serves, the Liberian government, right; they shouldn't find the need for $5,000,000 of Uncle Sam's good money. However, we are face to face with a situation which is likely to bring salty tears and very provoking aches to the soul of the "leaders who have been an awaitting the rainfall of official crumbling up to this shade have been hanging in the air with a few of them coming to the grown of materiality. It is a sad situation, but nobody really knows how dry Washington is at this time. HAVANA. June 28—The newspaper "La Navalon" today launched another attack against the United States. The paper asserts that "hatred of the Americans must be our new religion." The newspaper asserts that reattitude for American co-operation during the last years of the revolution has blinded the American people. The United States. America is also accused of imposing the reform cabinet on Press Zayas, and encouraging racial discrimination. THREE CHILDREN BURNED Preston News Service CHICAGO, Ill. June 28—Three little children, one a mere babe met a tragic death last Saturday at a station, a suburb near here. Mrs. J. C. McCarthy, Wesley Street, left her three children, Molly, 3 years old; Marion 2, and Larry, 3 months; her home where she went to work had a few doors away to purchase food for a sapper. Before going she lighted a fire in the kitchen stove. The wall paper became ignited. Neighbors attempted to get into the house but all doors were locked. When firemen arrived the house was in flames and the children were dead. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1922 REV. S. A. MOSELEY DEFENDS17THWRD Pastor Of Tabernacle Bapt. Church Wants Outsiders And "Soreheads" To Mind Own Business. Ward Is Not Sodom And Comorrah And Neither Dees A Reign Of Terror Exist. Says Slater Is Efficient Committeeman. The morning issue of the Globe Demo eral printed in detail the proceedings had at the opening of Mrs Elbridge Fluks campaign for Committeeman of the White Ward. It would appear at first glance from the space given and the amount of noise made by that select committee of 182 that the "show" was about over kept counting the ballots. An Interesting List of Names I want the people of the 17th, Ward I mean those who really live in the New Seventeenth Ward to read the names of the New Comers: if this is to be a 17th, Ward affair why don't those who live in the 17th Ward look after their own business? Is it possible that some good, well-meaning people do not know the ward they live in? I say, are they really mistaken? Can it be that these people are kidnapping themselves or simply trying to hoodwink the people who really live in the 17th, Ward? Can it be that these good people think that the people of the 17th Ward are ignorant and unaware of the political numbering of the City and the guardianity of the steer them clear of the corrupt rocks so prevalent they say through out the 17th Ward? When did the good old 17th Ward become so rotten and possessed of so much political filth that it requires these good angels of clean palities to come over and help run the 17th, Ward? Please check all those names and find out for yourselves first how many really live in the 17th, Ward, as the boundary lines are now fixed: nine-tenths of them live in some other ward; they certainly are wise political leaders. The article states that about 12 out of the 100 present were Negroes; now we happen to know all of the Negroes present and know just where they live too; now, you are not feeling anguage of you; maybe you are just kiddling ourselves. Frank M. Slater Attacked The resolutions unanimously adopted consure the present efficient committeeman, Judge Frank M. Slater. We happen to know the conditions of the 17th, Ward; not we know Judge Slater too well and the people know him well, and will be assisted by some well-meaning people and a lot of political sore heads. Judge Shater is a whole-hearted man; a man of courage and justice to all regardless of sex, race or creed; the Colored people of the 17th, Ward owe what little political recognition they have to the unfitting, unselfish efforts of Judge Shater; the present committeeman of the 17th, Ward; right mind, right heart; right purpose; to forget the bridge that carried them over safe; of course Judge Shater does not cater to outsiders and political sore heads; the people understand, and they will not forget. That part of the resolution about everybody casting one ball lot, and having it counted as cast, is all bunk, pure political bunk; the Negroes of the 17th Ward have been counted as cast and it is this reason why all this noise and resolutions from misguided people and political sore heads; nothing going on; the 17th Ward is splendid residences and apartment houses; splendid residences and apartment houses and swell boulevards; to make a stigma on the good people. To further beumbdelt things the resolution calls attention to the new Massone Temple under construction; the Y. M. C. A. Pine St. Dept. for Colored; and then it directs attention to the fact that the Colored people want a new High School east of Great Awe of Frank M. Slater as committeeman to do with all these things? Do they mean to say that Slater had made a Sodom and Gomorrah out of the 17th Ward, politically speaking? This new High School east of Grand Ave, for Negroes is the thing needed but why is it brought into polls? What is the motive? This High School proposition is not a political issue; and too Frank. M. Slater is not opposing a new High School for Negroes east of Grand Ave.; he is the best man to put it over if it comes to that. The schools should be kept out of politics; we have a Board of Education, composed of the best citizens of St. Louis and none better in the world, who are capable of looking after the needs of the people along educational lines, and I hardly think they need the assistance of people who do not know enough to find out in which ward they live or of the political sorghes who cannot run things politically in 1710. This is the first intimation that a "reign of terror" existed in the 17th ward or in any other ward in St. Louis; I think it slanderous to the 17th, Ward and the City as a whole to say a reign of terror exists; that there are instances of intimidation of voters. **Advisory Committee** Friends, please read the names of that committee, and then tell me why all of these outsiders, soreheads and trouble-makers coming over in 'your Ward to tell you where to head in' Do these people who compose that committee think they all live in the 17th and they are theirs, the 17th, Warriors, ignorant or a sleep? It is an insult to say the least. Beware, your sins will find you out; the Colored people have known you all the time; and they are telling others about you now. These good, well-meaning, self-righteous people will have to part company with those soreheads or their shirt of store will become "top heavy." We extend a hand of joy to the life boats of those who say, "That slogan,—'Not out for Money' is more 'lasses' for files; it is hard to fool files now days. To the good peo- ple, I say, return for you, know not what you are doing. Do not worry about clean elections; the people who live in the 17th Ward are not excited Thank you. Lest we forget, keep the schools out of politics; and keep the sorcheaths out of the 17th Ward, and all will be well. S. A. MOSLEY, Pastor Tabernacle Baptist Church, 2726 Pine Among the names appearing in the Globe Democrat as members of an advisory committee of Mrs. Foeks who is running against Frank Shater for Committeeman in the Seventeenth Ward, was that of Dr. George E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist Church. Dr. Stevens denies any part in the affair, and in a statement said: "I knew nothing of the intention to use my name in that connection till I saw it in the Globe. I did not authorize any one to do so. I have, however, great respect for the League of Women Voters and for their candle. I have the profoundest respect for the organization of women fighting for the purity of politics. But I am not in politics just that way. I have not the time to go out to stump or be in an organization for this one or that one. I proclaim what ought to be the underlying governing principles from my pulpit. "The one thing which is on my heart next to the gospel which I preach is the matter of proper school facilities for colored youth in this city. I and the colored people in general will feel kindly towards any man or any woman of any party who will help to put over a school program for our colored youth equal to that given to all men even in this city. I was gratified to have Mrs. Powell smoke for our new high school at the Sheldon Memorial, and the League of Women Voters is committed to our help. In these days every man and woman running for office should be required to declare their position as regards our schools. We are asking for the following things as absolute needs for the proper training of our youth: A new High School east of Grand Boulevard. A standardized normal college patterned after the Harris Teachers College. The seventh and eighth grades put back in the schools where they were and those schools enforced for that purpose and John Marshall made a complete grade unit. When we get back to normalcy, then we can have the Junior High School then introduced properly, not as a substitute for a needed high school as a devise for relieving congestion, but to do its important work as among the whites. We are asking the Board of Education for an open air school for colored youth. MAN TALKS IN SLEEP IS NOW UNDER ARREST MAN TALKS IN SLEEP IS NOW UNDER ARREST Dissatisfied Wife Takes Advantage Of Slumber Conversation And Turns Husband Up On Confession. Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D.C. C, June 28—Samul Brown, aged 41 years, gave his wife Fiona Erma Brown, whom he alleged was the police officer treating in a manner conducive to matrimonial bliss, a splendid opportunity to free herself of having to continue taking abuse from her husband when he mentioned something about the murder of a saloonkeeper the morning of January 25, 1908, last Friday night. Mrs. Brown, it is said, overheard the talk and the next morning questioned him about it. Brown is alleged to have admitted to her to have taken part in the murder with another man, whom the police officer believed to be Brown was arrested following an investigation after Mga. Brown had told police officials about her husband's alleged confession. When placed under arrest at his home Monday, it is stated that Brown remarked, "You think I killed Reid, but I didn't." It was learned by the police that his wife had questioned her husband in the presence of a third person and also that she planned to apply to the district attorney's office for a warrant for her husband for his alleged brutal treatment. When questioned by the officials Mrs. Brown had a discolored face and bruised arms, the result of her husband's attacks, she stated and freely discussed the alleged confession regarding the murder of the saloonkeeper. Says He Beame Worried It was early last week that she be came aware that her husband was worried over something, she stated, and went away from me Reid; I don't hurt to hurt you any more," she said. In addition to talking in his sleep the police were told by neighbors of Brown, that they often hear) him in his stable at night, and putting his horse away, mention the name of Reid and make use of remarks suggesting he was afraid of being harmed by someone by the name of Reid. The Reid murder in 1908, has been practically a mystery. Charles Phillips, a porter in Reid's employ, was placed in jail as a United States witness and kept there for more than a year, the detectives hoping they would be able to, fasten the crime on him. Phillips was finally released and paid $1.25 a day for the time he was detained in jail. SON OF CHINESE MILLIONAIRE MARRIES WHITE GIRL Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL.

Y. June 28— The May number of CURRENT HISTORY contains an interesting and instructive article from the pen of Principal Robert R. Moton, entitled, "State of the Negro." The article has created a good impression among the intelligent people of Gotham. It is optimistic in tone and entails a deal of information that is enlightening to friend and foe alike of the Negro in the land. "This country both North and South is ready and willing, as never before, to get more definite information regarding the Negro problem and to know something of the Negroes own thoughts regarding this problem. Requests for literature on the subject come to us daily from all sections of the civilized world. The reason for this unusual eagerness for facts is obvious. Americas and whole civilized world is making today a new set of terms of justice and human understanding—this in spite of riots, mob outbreaks, labor unrest and other disturbing and sometimes discouraging conditions." is the reason this distinguished educator advances as good reasons for his discussion of the Negro's Status in this Country. The Negro Church, The Negro School, The Tuskegee Negro Conference, The Negro Business League, The Freedmen's Aid Burgee, The American Southern University, The Southern Education, and The Inter-Racial Commission among the topics discussed. In the matter of the Negro's material progress for the past fifteen years in this country Principal Moton points out that in 1900 there were 20,000 Negro business enterprises through out the country. In 1915 there were more than 50,000. The banks increased to seventy two; drug stores from 230 to 935; wholesale dealers from approximately 10,000 to 25,000. In the same period the total value of form property from $177,404,688 to $422,822,217. The writer writes considerable stress on the work of the Inter-Racial commissions, in the South, holding that they are performing a very great service in the cause of human progress. Conservative Negroes declare that Dr. Moton has improved his position as a leader of the race through this writing of this article. SON OF WILBERFORCE AT FIFTIETH COMMENCEMENT OF FAMOUS OLD SCHOOL Corner Stone Of New $300,000. Shorter Hall Is Laid. Bishop Brooks One Of The Noted Speakers Associated Negro Press WILBERFORCE, Ohio, June 28- The Hon. Robert Wilberforce, the great grandson of William Wilberforce the noted British abolitionist in whose honor and memory Wilberforce University was named, was the chief fghire at this year's commencement exercises. Mr. Wilberforce was the principal speaker at the "Wilberforce Day" exercise and delivered a notable address. This year's commencement closed a fifty nine years successful career of this famous old school. The graduating class was one of the largest in its history. The annual report of the Board of Trustees was most encouraging. A large number of distinguished men and women were in attendance. One of the features was the laying of the corner stone for the new Shorter Hall, the $300,000 building which replaces the old Shorter, lost by fire. Bishops Jones and Connors officiated. President Edwards of Kittrell College and Bishop Brooks were prominent among the speakers. The strides taken by Wilberforce under the administration of President Glenn Gould remarkable. A harmonious and progressive spirit is to be noted everywhere.

IF YOU would take something not quite as rigid, as your head—a soft leather ball, for example—and jam it against the corner of a table, a distinct dent or hollow will appear. If you strike a rubber ball or any other resilient object against the same projection, the dent will appear only for a moment and the ball will then fill out and be as round as formerly. Why, don't we get dents in our heads instead of bumps? The answer is that we do, but they fill up so rapidly that we do not notice them and are conscious only of the "bump" which appears almost immediately thereafter and remains for some time. This bump is caused by the operations of the body in repairing the injury resulting from the blow. An increased supply of blood is rushed to the spot and the surrounding veins become distended in taking care of this over-supply. Other healing fluids are also brought to the injured place to assist in rapid recovery and the presence of these, together with the blood, forces the skin to rise. A blow on the head will cause a larger "bump" than elsewhere on the body; because the skin is stretched lightly, over the skull and the intervening space is very narrow. Hence the skin must be pushed up further to make room for the healing agents which the body dispatches as soon as the brain telegraphs the injury. CATARRH OF THE STOMACH YOU CAN'T ENJOY LIFE with a sore, sour, bleached stomach. Food does not nourish instead it is a source of misery, causing pain, bitching, dizziness and headache. The person with a bad stomach should be satisfied with nothing less than permanent lasting relief. The right remedy will act upon the lumps of the stomach, catch the blood, aid in causing out the catarrhal pains and strengthen every bodily fraction.

Spinnington, lawyer of Newark City, speaking before the 18th Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Robert Trout School of Music St. and 15th Avenue, Newark市, stated that the Negro's status had not greatly improved before the Civil War. He said part: "In the Dred Scott case, deeded in 1832, Justice Tanner ditched the tag that a Negro had no right to be the white man was bound to race. How far has the legal status of the race progressed during the intervening years? PART TWO "The constitution of the United States for many years guaranteed to him complete equality before the law, and theoretically, no discriminatory laws are anywhere on the statute books. In fact, however, such laws abound, e.g. 'grandfather' laws, segregation laws (now happily declared illegal) and 'jim crow' laws. "But such statutes are the least of the 'Negroes' legal grievance. Practically nowhere in U.S. has a Negro an equal chance with a white man in a court of law. Even in the most favorable communities a Negro, accused for example, of ravishing a white girl would receive quite different treatment from a jurrum that a white man charged with a similar offense against a colored girl. "The situation is unfortunately far worse than this; in many sections of the country (in actual practice the Negro has no legal rights; he has only such privileges as those who hold the power and the government choose to grant him; whatever justice he receives is doled out to him, not as a matter of right, but of favor. In such communities, a colored man may kill another member of his own race and if he has a powerful white patron he can escape taint; if the victim of his crime is a white man his powerful white patron cannot promise him even the formality of a trial; if the victim is colored and the accused white and the killing takes place in the black belt, he must be indeed a pretty ornate white man to have to stand trial. "All racial minorities are discriminated against" the discrimination is limited only by its strength. The Negro is exploited most because he is the poorest, worst, least organized in other words, the easiest to exploit. He can hope for more rights only as he acquires power and a voice in the government. He can hope to retain and enjoy the rights he is now supposed to have only if he perfects an organization that can function on behalf of every member of the race. It must be an organization with the confidence and support of the whole race that he can count upon to bring race support for every racial discrimination against any member of the race. "Such an instrument is at hand in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Properly supported, it can in every instance where the Negro faces the law make him as strong as the race itself." White Race Not Superior To Others Declares Anthropologist. The white race is not superior to others declared Dr. A. A. Goldswilch, an anthropologist, has night, in an address delivered before the 13th Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Robert Treat School Norfolk and 13th and 18th Goldswilch is a 'lecturer on anthropology at the New School for Social Research in New York City.' "The evidence of anatomy and neurology so far available does not indicate any appreciable superiority of the white race over the other races," he declared. "The psychological tests not only test the contrary, not withstanding the facts, fails to provide any definite data to support the contention of psychological inferiority of so-called primitive races including the Negro to the white." "In the domain of civilization it must, of course, be admitted that other races, with the possible exception of the Mongolian, have not produced civilizations in all respects compatible to our own and even the Mongolian does not, quality when science and industry are taken into consideration. But an insight into the characterists of the historic process makes it more than doubtful whether any but purely historical causes need be invoked in the differences in the civilizations between the ancient and modern. It must mean, he remember, that, in just those partitions in which white men is incomparably superior to primitive races he is also superior to the civilizations of the ancient world, such as those of Egypt, Greece or Rome. "On its practical side, the problem of races and in particular the Negro race has two aspects; the present and future of the Negro in Africa and Asia, and the situation of the Negro populations elsewhere, primarily in the United States. "There can be no question that the Negro civilizations of Africa, will hence forth develop under the ever-increasing influence of white civilizations. It will however, be unfortunate if all specific tendencies, all local colk characteristics of such civilizations will be submerged in the process of assimilation. It seems more than probable that the civilizations of Africa will become African. It is accompanied by humanity and absence of prejudice, will not result in the complete emigration of the indigenous cultures of Negro, civilizations, while furnishing these with the tools and advantages of the modern white world. "By far the most difficult aspect of the Negro problem refers to the Negro populations outside of Africa, primarily in the United States. There can be no question that, complete legal emancipation is desirable, necessary, and will within the near future be attained. The social aspect, on the other hand, appears much more gloomy. Deep-rooted prejudice, supported by certain prides at reactions and backed by his tradition, 'cannot readily be dislabeled.' How the work will be (tempting painful and dangerous) will not be achieved 'without good adherence' and self-sacrificing co-operation of the white and the Negro alike.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE audience dwell on the hideous details. No one who does not close his eyes and ears can be ignorant of the truth. The evidence is overwhelming: The National Association which meets here today was formed to secure the rights of the Negro in this country, to help him up and to defend him against those who would hold him down. For a series of years with trifling resources and little support from the public against misrepresentation and discouragement of every kind we have carried on the battle in the never failing faith that the people of the United States do not really believe in oppressing any human being that they have no sympathy with barbarism that they believe in Justice to all men and that they mean to have our Constitution obeyed. We have asked for the Negro nothing that belongs to anyone else, nothing except his unquestionable rights as a citizen of our common country, nothing but simple—justice and that equality of opportunity which is the birthright of us all. We have tried to organize the Nrogroes of all Americans so that they may speak with a voice that will command attention and to unite in unison which is strength. From last fall, big business we have grown to be the Association is a power in the land, a power partly resting on numbers, but far more on the fact that what we ask is right. Our weapon is the truth—the truth which is mighty and will prevail. Our effort is to bring the truth home to our countrymen in the firm belief that when they realize how their fellow citizens are abused they will end the abuse. We have accomplished much and we will persevere to the end. Sowing, Dragon1's Teeth Those of us who are white recognize the danger to our whole country which the existing conditions breed. We know that men are sowing dragon's teeth and we would stop their work before the harvest is ripe. We have forgotten what injustice to the colored nation lost the country in the Civil War, and because of the attempt to persecute it is frangible with like disaster only to be averted by removing the cause: Let no one misunderstand me. We would contel no violence, no forcible resistance even to violence. We know that the Negroes in this country are comparatively a feeble folk and that it is easy for white men to misrepresent their acts and to inflame public opinion against them, whenever a conflict occurs. We know that every feeling between white and that ill feeling between white and that ill feeling increases and in the mind of many justify the very evil which we are trying to abate. In a word force can do no good, and must do harm for "What can war but endless war still breed?" We could remind our countrymen that the armed conflicts which ever follow continue in areas not always due to the resistance of those who suffer it. The Civil War slaves began to occupy the four million slaves who occupied the poor and slaves. They submitted to their sultings or sought relief by fight. It was the indignation raised in white men's hearts and the agitation against slavery which resulted that brought on the war and only as the Northern armies advanced and set them free did the slaves give the armies support. On the contrary, they raised the pork and the corn which fed the Southern armies and it was care that the Southern soldier left children when he went to fight. May again produce like effects, but this Association will not condemn violence on the part of those whom they are trying to help. But policy is to ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1922 to promote a better understanding between those who must live side by side and should live as friends and not as enemies. Klan Must Surcumb Today there is pending in the Senate of the United States a bill to meekniching a crime against the United States and to provide for its punishment in the Federal Courts. It is a very important measure for various reasons. In the first place, it preclaims to the world and to every citizen of this country that the outrage generally called lynching are crimes and that all the power of the Federal Government will be used to punish them as such and to make the communities which tolerate them pay the penalty of their tolerance in the form of damages. Today the acceptance of their neighbors and of the State officials and the open admiration of those who surrender with the crimes has led the criminals to think themselves heroes, or at least those who have executed summary宣判 of the interests of Society. This decision so fostered cannot endure against the indemnation of their acts by Congress. The strong expression of public and strongest expression of public against them, and they cannot ignore it. The original Ku Klux Klan documented to a similar exercise of the Federal power and the new Klan will do likewise. In the next place, the law will say to the world and to every man in the United States that this country is no longer willing to endure the charge of tolerating lynching and that it considers the practice a blot on our national reputation. The act characterizes the crime as it deserves and frees the country from the charge of complicity with the criminals whom it has ignored. In the third place it gives our colored citizens some hope, some confidence in the government for which so many have died and to which they have been loyal through all these years of hardship. It is a just, just too long delayed towards the protection of their lives and property against criminal attacks, and they will feel now that they can wait, until the leader processes of Justice accomplish their entire deliverance. On the other hands, if it is defended, it will mean to them that their cause is hopeless, that the United States is powerless to help them, that at any time they may be murdered, and tortured with impunity since the States will not and the United States can, and my white friends what should be done on them were they in like cases, what would they think and what would they do? They may be sure that their colored brothers have minds and hearts and feelings like their own. Does Constitution Full? It is said that the Constitution gives Congress no power to interfere. This conclusion I cannot accept. "I must not in this time as my command argue the legal question. I have done that elsewhere. But I want to ask some questions. Can it be that a government "conceived in Liberty and founded upon the proposition that all men are created equal" has no power enough to assert that barring an attack on the "Justice Justice insure domestic tranquility and secure the blessings of liberty" to those who live under it denies this country power to prevent its soldiers from being insulted and killed in its own towns because they wear its uniforms? We know that the amendments adopted after the Civil War were designed to secure the conspicuous slaves their rights as citizens, because it war known that the people of the seceding states were very sure not to recognize those rights willingly, and that only by the power of the Federal government could they be assured. Is it possible that these amendments should be so construed an not to give the government power to assure these rights? I do not believe it. Whatever words may have been used by the retary; H. N.

College graduates and students from all parts of the country gather for the 15th Annual Session. Before them, whatever decisions they sedition们 may draw at pleasure, may have made, if they assign any Our country is not very thoroughly such comparison they must be revised. Mr. Gampers admits that labor threats much trouble to the community and that its practices leave much to be reformed, but he insists the male. Such construction results in that it is above the law, and that the country must not interfere to regulate this country cannot on its soil protect its own citizens. Difference In Location Where a Negro to be burned by a mob of Mexicans ten feet within the Mexican border the whole power of the United States would be used to secure redress, and to protect our citizens in the future against outrages. Were the scene of the crime twenty feet to the north and let a mob perhaps of Mexicans, in whole or in part, or perhaps of American, citizens, commit the same crime, is the United States powerless to act, though it has jurisdiction of the place where the crime is committed and can arrest the criminals. Such a construction of the constitution should not stand, and in my judgment cannot and will not. Let the people of the United States say to the United States a freed from the "Body of this Death." To secure the passage of this bill is to duty the hour. This association needs new thousands to hold and help the cause which we are. We need money to pay for printing, the traveling expenses of speakers and all the costs of a nation-wide campaign. To secure the nomination and election of a senator, thousands of dollars are freely spent, while we are given a few hundred to fight for the deliverance of a nation. We must make an appeal to the American people. When four men are burned at the stake in Texas in these enlightened days, where are the Texas clergymen who preach Christianity and the golden rule? Where are the lawyers who have sworn to uphold the law? Where are the colleges which exist to promote civilization? Where are the good citizens, who cannot improve the cruel torture of fellow-beings? Are they all lynchers at heart, or are they cowards and afraid of the mobs themselves? Where is the Governor and where are they? May I get limit my question to Texas? Why are the clergymen of New Jersey and Massachusetts? Where are the leaders of public opinion, the good citizens of America, North and South? This problem concerns them. Why have they been silent so long? We do not claim any monopoly for our Association. If they do not like our ways, let them choose their own, organize their own societies and fight in their own way. All we ask is that they fight this wrong until it is overthrown. Can Prevent Lunachars The people of the United States have the power to stop lynching and for all the lynchings that occur they are responsible, since they can' t if they will prevent them. There are abumant ways, and if they are in earnest they will find them. We refuse to have intercourse with Russia because her government murders its citizens, deprives their property and confiscates of every kind. Why apply the same rule of lynching? There are men who are striking for higher wages, men are striking for higher work. Would a strike for life and liberty by Negroes in the South be wholly unjustified? Whenever the people of the United States undertake in-dead carnest to stop lynching it will disappear. Now it flourishes at Henry Watterson says: "As an opportunity to induce in spectacular murder when there is no fear that the next Grand Jury will return murder indictments against" the lynchers. Now it prevails because it is safe. Make it dangerous for the lynchers and for the communities which tolerate it and it ends. It was Ewald Burke who asked his fellow men "To reflect seriously on the possible consequences of keeping your community at your community a bank of aliquots." seditious men may draw at pleasure. Our country is not very thoroughly united. Mr. Gompers admits that law伯 threatens much trouble to the community and that its practices leave much to be reformed, but he insists that it is above the law and that the country must not interfere to regulate or curb its excesses. Labor leaders do not care how much a strike may injure our fellow citizens and stand ready by the whole strike to paralyze the whole business of the country. Serious conflict may be forced for us, which may be provoked by national prejudice. Would not twelve million be a loyal and contended Negroes be a loyal against national disaster? Would denial of their rights as citizens be a dangerous reinforcement to any malcontent? Thus far in every crisis they have been uniformly loyal. Do not drive them to disloyalty and lose their support when the country needs loyalty. Is this not worth considering? **All Appeals To Conscience** Our appeal, however, is to the conscience of the American people. If they will not stand by their colored fellow wills in their crises, if they will not resolve that in this day of civilization the fortune and murder of human being be lawless mobs must cease the fun of the country is darkened and calamity is sure to follow. "It must be that offenses come but we unto him by whom the offense cometh." Let every man take his text to heart and if when the halls calls for speech or act he is shattered and idle, let him remember that a hand in part rests the guilt for all the cruelties which are vided on the polls, Negroes and for all the disasters which will befall the nation if these cruelties continue. The contest which contests us, is the contest between mob violence and law, and the country must choose between them. Civilization means the supremacy of law, and in the words of Lord Chatham: "Where law ends tyranny begins," or as Theodore Rosevelt put it: "The corner stone of this republic, as of all free governments, is respect for and obedience to the law." "Where men permit the law to be defied or oscaped, whether by rich or poor man, black man or white we are by just so much weakening the bonds of our civilization and increasing the chances of this overthrow and of the substitution thereof of a system in which there shall be violent alterations of knaney and tyranny." Every American must choose between the law and the law. The choice is new before the Senate and it is the duty of us all to help the Senate to choose right. There is a plague scattered abroad which strikes at the very root of society and underminds the very bases of truth. The path of society is strewn with dead leaves of vulgar and dry bones of flattery. The English language is invaded with terms as: What's you going to say, I see. Is it cold? It is not hot. I say so, and good night and so many other such words, such phrases are as a man walking in darkness rather than light because his dead are as well. Eliminate the virtue from any term or expression and the sayings of man would not be worth writing to reading. Thought itself would become a perpetual clauses or starless night. The very imminent circle of society is infested with the plague of scorn and contempt for all that is above can'r japon and cover of the night of meaning. Under the cover of the night of lawless betrins, where the own-winged snails abroad; Empires crumbs kimbries fall and the good are betrothed. Eliminate the vulgar and hope will bloom and virile will spring up like wild flowers plucked from ruined tombs, that border the highway of antiquity making garlands for living foreheads. THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7 TO 12 ST. LOUIS GOVERNMENT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ABILITY IN NEGROES Associated Negro Press Correspondent Cities Facts That Cannot Be Denied. Associated Negro Press By J. M. BATCHMAN ST. LOUIS, Mo. June 28—Incorporated in a lengthy survey of some conditions in the Twelfth Congressional District for the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission, which is on file in the offices of that body in the State Capitol, is a section headed "St. Louis Local Offices" which sags; "The City of St. Louis has an employment list which varies from time to time. There have been as high as approximately 15,000 employees, and at present it is believed the number is around 9,000. Figures compiled by a law that Negroes of the city draw $00,000 annually in salaries. A personal statistic however, reveals that justice is not taken in job, even though these figures look large when not placed in comparison with others." "St. Louis has seven Executive Officers drawing an aggregate in salaries of $46,000 per annum, none of whom has yet been a Negro. The Board of Alderman organization consist of six officers, of whom the lowest in rank is a Negro, and their combined salaries aggregate $13,000 a year; the Board Alderman consist of 28 men elected in the campaign, and draw a total of $40,000, and no Negro is a member of that board. The maker provision placed in the City Council a few years ago, which provided that the whole city must vote on every alderman chosen. It can readily be seen how this provision wisely (2) eliminates assisting Negroes who come from wards, predominantly Negro; the Board of Public Service consists of five directors, appointed by the Mayor; they draw $40,000 annually, but not one is a Negro; two officials in the Department of Public Utilities receive $40,000 per annum; one in the Department of Streets and Sectors gets $5,000; the Public Welfare Department has four officials receiving $18,000 all appointe place with the city. The Department of Public Safety has three officials, appointe receiving $12,500 annually. The Mayor of the city appoints direen two high officials in six other departments, drawing a total of $40,000 yet no direct Negro representation is given." "I must be admitted that a number of these departments there are colored employees; but the patient fast brought out is that in places requiring me of high ability, the Negro is a right to counsel for cognition of a kind as other American men, known too, the salary effect of such recognition in downing that hydra headed monster, race prejudice. It takes big men to make this advance toward the Negro—fair minded men—that type of American manhood which all men admire, which rises up before the masses on every few occasions; that Negro has faith in Missouri, which has the nursery of so many high typed American police Department and Fire Department at St. Louis have permitted the entering wedge to be driven, and if it is a tribute to the men who had the character to stalk back of this innovation."

HEROLIN MED. CO. ATLANTA, GA. Preston News Service NEW YORK CITY, June 23—"Who is it?" asked Romeo L. Daugherty today to some of his friends while attending a performance at the Lafayette theatre. "Tell me, is this thing done all over the country in colored theatres. I sit in theatres here in New York catering to colored people and every seven out of ten mayes entering walk down the aisles with their hats on, even when accompanied by ladies. I can't understand this breach of etiquette. The average male arriving at his seat lounges into it and will not remove his hat until he is finally seated. "In the winter time you see them coming down the aisle straining out of their overcoats and thereby obstructing the vews, of others. Stop! Don't tell me that-white men do the same thing. I have seen what the average white man does and know. This brazen ill-breeding should stop. We should swallow hard, accept the truth and teach colored men some ordinary courtesies for they mean so much to us as a race." "If managers of our theatres are too timid to put down srch rowdyism then the minions of the law should be advised and instructed to take a hand. I know where the teaching should start -at home- but these birds have long since passed away from the teachings and guidance of dear mother." "The hope of the future colored man to his manners is in the hands of mother who should strive to impress their sons with the necessity of being courageous at all times. No wonder we are lim-crowed. We are so crude and ill-bred." "I would like to know if this same kind of ill-breeding is pleasant in the theatres of other cities. I am ashamed of so called New Yorkers." WHAT A WORLD! For the Associated Nerro Press Jack Dempsey trotting all around over the earth begging for some white man to box him, and one outstanding black boxer in Dempsey's own country begging to get at Dempsey. Because of this black man back at home, some embarrassing questions must have been asked Dempsey in Europe, for he keeps sending back little nervous cablegrams, that he is "willing to box Harry Wills, if—" But the whole procedure seems to stall at the "if" "if, what? If Wills were white and as well qualified as he is. Dempsey would have to box him or get out. That's the way we do it in America. We prove our "superiority" to Negroes by never measuring our strength against theirs in a sportmanlike contest. We prove that the Negro "can't" by never letting him try. Providing it seems to victimize only the Negro, we tolerate any immorality from packed juries and disfranchisement to restricted "spelling bees" and "white champions". There is no doubt that Dempsev is a worthy boxer, the ablest titleholder with the sole exception of Jack Johnson, in a generation. But if he does not accept the challenge from Harry Wills, then all of the world outside of the dear United States ought to regard Wills as the Champion Heavyweight boxer of the World. THE RIGHT THING at the RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE LATE HOURS The wee small hours ayant the twall- Burnn. WHY is it that the dances, you dance or once danced-after one o'clock always seem so much more stimulating and joyous than the dances that you dance while the night is still young? It may be that it is only after we have been dancing for some time that we get really into the swing of it, or perhaps we can find the explanation in the old truss that stolen sweets are best, and that it is only because we have a feeling that we are robbing ourselves of our sleep that we enjoy these early morning dances. The fact is that while the war-lasted our dances were shorter. And some people went so far as to predict that we could never go back to the old-time custom of dancing or allowing our daughters and sons to dance until "all hours" of the morning. But the armistice had not been signed many days before dances were lasting longer and now all the old-time enthusiasm for dancing till dawn seems to have been revived. At least such seems to be the case in many parts of the country and in Washington and New York more than one hostess has served breakfast to her late dance guests at about five in the morning after a dance. And this breakfast, be it known, consists of nothing, less hearty than coffee, rolls and sausages. During war days the dances began earlier, but now the hour has been set on to ten o'clock in a good many cases. This means a supper at midnight or somewhat later. Of course many people feel that they have tarried long enough if they lingar until after supper, but the dance enthusiasts—the young folk—linger on in the good old-fashioned way. Whatever your own fuste for late hours may be, however, you should always make sure that you are not outstaying your welcome and just because a company of young persons become more interested in their dancing as the hours advance is no reason why they should impose on the good nature of a hostess who has not planned for such a late breaking up of her party. In general, it is safe to assume that if your hostess is expecting her guests to dance till a very late hour, she will set the hour for the beginning of her dance as late as nine or ten. If the hour is earlier, then the guests should make a point of going home earlier. ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1922 Uncommon Sense By JOHN BLAKE Colored Children Must Not Pass Through White Neighborhoods Going To School Richmond, Va., Council Holds Pro Hearing On Petition For New ANALYZE MISTAKES WHEN you make a mistake, find out why you made it. Think it over a few minutes. Fix in your mind the manner in which it happened. Be shamed of it, if it is a bad mistake. Scare yourself about it, if it is a dangerous one. The child never forgets the mistake he makes when he puts his finger in the fire. That mistake he has to think about for a long time afterward. One of the kind is always enough for him. Admiral Peary's Eskimo dogs made the mistake of eating all that was given them when they were encamped in the Arctic regions waiting for one of his dashes to the pole. Apparently they remembered that mistake when the food run out and some of their number had to be eaten. When the survivors of the pack returned to America they were very sparing of the food that was given them, and buried the remains. More than that they scoured the neighborhood for food to bury. They had had time to think over their mistakes. Most people have much the same sort of work to do every working day. Those who do not think over their mistakes continue to make them and for the most part they always stay where they are. Men who make the same mistakes twice never get the confidence of an employer. Those who think about their mistakes, and find out ways to eliminate them, are those who get along. It is better to discover your own mistakes than to wait for the boss to discover them. Discover them early, and you can do without them the next time. Go over your work. If it is not up to the mark that you ought to make, you have either made important mistakes, or wasted time, which in itself is an important mistake. Think about that. Let it sink into your soul. Think how it held your work back, and what the repetition of it will do to your life's work. This may not contribute to your repose the night you are thinking about it, but it will make you sleep better for many a night to come. Perfection is the absence of mistakes. We cannot any of us achieve it, but we can all achieve a pretty fair substitute by cutting mistakes to the minimum. Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER RESTRAIN YOUR SPEECH WHEN inclined to speak of a person's faults, though he or she may be unfriendly towards you, restrain yourself, and think of your own shortcomings. Then, if you are a charitable soul, you will turn your conversation into another channel where there are 'no hidden dangers and go sailing under clear skies in joyous sunshine. One thoughtless, impulsive, slanderous word spoken in the presence of others, and particularly in the hearing of those given to gossip and disposed to magnify what they hear, may ruin an innocent man or woman for life. Clean your own house before you set about the task of cleaning the house of your neighbor. Purge your own soul of shortcomings—and you will find yourself so busy in doing it that you will not have time nor inclination to discuss the defects of others. "Let him without sin," said the Master of Men, "cast the first stone." And the accusers of a hapless woman stole away, one-by one. Your faults and my faults have come down to us through the ages. So, let us always curb our speech, wherever we may be and think noble thoughts instead of the kind that debase others and ourselves as well. Aside from the good policy of speaking no evil, there comes to the man or woman who may adopt it, a divine sense of serene happiness that cheers our way like the stars of night. And another thing that accompanies such a course is the ability to make friends and hold them in all sorts of weather. In lying down to sleep; in waking and in motion, there come no regrets, no torments to torture a guilty conscience, no remorse that ages the heart and drives the soul to despair. If it did nothing else, this charitable observance would serve at least to give you peace, make you great-hearted and enable you at all times to strike the nicest balance between right and wrong, and to hold the respect and love of the community in which you live. And after all is said and done, what is there more to be desired in life than the good will of neighbors, whose hearts and hands are always warm and friendly? A man is either a thinker or a thing—he may take his choice. He is either one of the Efficient Few who create and operate civilized or be one of the Automatic Many, who believe instead of think, and follow at all times the line of lowest resistance—Hertzert N. Casson of "Making Money Happily" Colored Children Must Not Pass Through White Neighborhoods Going To School Richmond, Va. Council Holds Public Hearing On Petition Ecw. Nau RICHMOND, Va. June 28- During the public session of City Council last Monday night when the petition for a Negro school building in the West end came up for consideration a casual observer would have thought one of the gravest questions of the ages was being decided. At the conclusion of an earnest and heated discussion of a petition from the City School Board, asking that the ordinance provided for the erection of a school building in the West End for colored children, be amended so that the bulding may be erected in the Negro section of Sidney, which took up a period of more than three hours, engaged in by many of Richmond's so-called representative citizens for and against, the finance committee voted to recommend the rejection of the petition by a vote of 5 to 2. Those who advocate the erection of the building in the Negro section of Sidney gave us their main reason that if the school building is not built at that point, the colored children, of whom there is about 800, it was said, will be compelled to walk more than a mile to attend the nearest Negro school on the north side of Broad street, and that their pathway will be through white sections and over dangerous crossings. The opponents of the petition declared that the erection of such a building in a white section of the city would mean the perpetuation of another "Jackson Ward," which would grow by leaps and bounds after the school building is completed. Negroes would gather in that section like rats. Although it was noted that no one either expressed a desire to curtail the school facilities offered Negroes in this city, but it was evident from all sides that Negroes should not be encouraged in "encroaching upon white" territory, but should be confined and forced to themselves. MEN WITH BLACKENED FACES ROB A BANK KANSAS CITY, Kans, June 28—It is reported that five men with blackened faces took $2,000 from the Quindaro State Bank here last Monday afternoon and escaped in a automobile.

Built With EXTRA WALLS to Save Ice C CHILDHOOD LOVE Love is a universal passion that controls all animated creatures from the mibrobe to the dinosaurian; the anta frogs, fish and birds make love. But that we should not philosophize so much on love, that we are to write a short story on it, the few words that we have written do suffice as an introduction that will lead to further consideration for that we are going to cop template the love of childhood. we have laid a foundation upon which we will build a structure. I was sitting at my window reading some of the poems of Dunbar when, the voices of some children without audibly attracted my attention, I placed the book on the chair; then as I rested my chin in the palm of my hand, I looked on, being unobserved by the indignant youths, for they were angry, very angry. They were two boys about eight years of age, being of a light brown complexion, and having the external characteristics of culture, two lads who had been well raised. Thus, as they continued fussing, I learned their names and the name of the person about whom they were fussing. The boys were named Linso and Willie, while the girl was named Kate. "Kate does not like you," said Linso angrily. "Why does she not like me?" "Because you are no good." "I am no good!" "You now you humbly!" Both of them became enemies as once, whereupon they sprang in the middle of the sidewalk, and, according to the attitude that is characteristic for young adversaries, they rolled their eyes with indignation, formed their hands into firsts, then, as they advanced and retreated, now and then uttering exasperated acclamations, they began to hit each other in the eye nose, mouth, and various other parts of the body, until Linso, who was about to lose the fight exclaimed. "Stop, stop, Willie! I will call my big brother!" Willie stopped at once, but not on account of what Linso said about his big brother, because he was a good little fighter, not being afraid of any one. On the other hand, he ceased the battle in order to keep Kate from seeing him fighting, for she had appeared within the distance. As she approached, being dressed in magnificent garmenty of girlhood, and her youthful form of sublimity, her eyes going gait, and all the other charming characteristics of her whale skin, he gun to magnetize her two lovers and they stood with their eyes and mouth wide open. Hence, when she came very close to them and having a red rose, in her hand, she said: "Ah, what a beautiful rose I have!" "Who gave it to you?" naked Linno, "Oh, Jinka, my sweetheart!" She did not stop; as she passed on with the rose in her hand, a smile on her face, and her curly hair flying in a balmy breeze, Linno and Willie I looked at her then at each other in a state of melancholy, whereupon I closed my window, and resumed reading Dumbar's "Lyrics of Love and Sorrow," which I had begun. Picture and Painter Who paints the picture, paints himself beautiful. Colored people often complain that American literature the characters are made either hideous or unattractive or unheroic. The colored people did not make that literature. People do not present another race as beautiful and heroic, unless that race is far removed from them in time or space; or unless, as in the case of the white man and the American Indian, the stronger race has tilted the sweater and removed it as a rival. The 20th century white man can speak romantically of the Indians,—of Indian courage, Indian war and Indian love. But to the 18th century white man, whom the Indian menaced from the neighboring plans, there was "no good Indian but a dead Indian." If the Negro wants to be idealized in a world where the Negro is a considerable potential factor, he must idealize himself, or else he must expect a sorry role in every tale from "Mother Goose" to "Wells" "Outline of History". It is not simply that the white story teller will not do full justice to the humanity of the black race; he cannot. A race must present its own case and ennoble its own ideals. The custom of representing the Negro in story as either a clown or a villain, or else a faithful and useful servant to some white person, has been so universal that even the earlier Negro writers dared not venture beyond it, especially when they were dependent upon white publishers. The colored writer is now beginning to present his race mapologically and with the all attributes of MAN. When the small boy saw on the walls of his home a painting representing a man as mastering and subduing with his bare hands a strong lion, the child asked: "Mother, how can that, man with the full attributes of MAN, read about lions in Africa or see them at the circus, hundreds of people are afraid of one lion." His mother gave him the full explanation: "My son, it is like this: these lions did not paint that picture." But we are not writing an essay on story telling; we are simply presenting to the reader four stories of this little book with the statement that the colored characters are so, completely human that some people would consider them unnatural. The first is the 'Vengeance of the Gods' The author must do most of such work on the road and in railway trains—on his knee in Jim Crow cars or on a train in Pullman. This particular story was written on a circle tour of the worst. The first chapter was written in Spokane, Washington, and the last in Indianaapolis, Iddbana; the intervening chapters or parts of them in Taoma, Portland, Sacramento, Oak land, San Francisco, San Jose, Yulie, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, PAGE ELEVEN to Save Ice frigerators ers--Every Style hundred of the finest new models are SEAMLESS PORCELAIN, LOID lined refrigerators in these refrigerators is a BARGAIN.

It recalls many of the author's boyhood recollections of the peonage-infested districts of the last named state. The Second story, "The Superior Race," was written after the author had had a considerable sea voyage. The scene is held in Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and is built around an incident that was related to him. The third story, "Passing the Buck," was originally called "Trapped." It contained incidents which will be remembered by many people who attended the great Methodist Centenary Celebration in Columbus, Ohio. 1919: It was written one morning ing a Pullman car crossing the desert of the Dakotas and Wyoming. The last story, "Tit for Tat," relates what actually happened in the life of a colored regiment from Illinois while it was seeing service in France. The substance of this story was given me by a former high officer of that regiment in a conversation at the Appomattox Club in Chicago. All of these stories are facts and types but not of the kind that the white American will yet be enthusiastic about printing, although he may read them. WILLIAM PICKENS 260 W. 139th St., New York, N.

Dismakes claimed that, this, would leave him but seven regular men in the Keystone lineup; and at that he would have to use an outfielder and catcher for his infield, and I was taken out of the Keystone lineup he would have to put an over-worked pitcher in Gray's position, which he could not consent to do.

Dougherty Did it ever occur to you that if ever a race or nation received retribution white Americans have every reason to look with alarm and consternation at the things which God Almighty is own why is it so difficult to find of this upstart race? When you gazed sadly on the shore of America as it slowly faded from view while on your way to France to fight, for Democracy, did you imagine there would be no change in the sentiment of the white brother? Or better still, did it ever occur to you while anxiously nearing the shores of the United States after offering up your life to help make this a better place for the people of the world to live, the world come when your representatives would be forced to try to have enacted a law to prevent the waning killing of you and yours in the Southland? Veryly you believed in the harsh promises made and thought when you returned that the least the white beast would do would be to enforce these sections of the constitution, guaranteeing you the right of life and the pursuit of happiness. They hurt! On Lord, how long! All we are pleading from this great republic is justice. Unlike the white foreigner, we have never been a distrusting element our loyalty in times of stress being unquestioned, our our brothers are hung down like skin-shining dogs, denied a fair trial, hung, shot, and burned at the stake—nine times out of it, not even guilty of the crime, with which they are charged. It is written in the stars that America must pay, even unto the third and fourth generations. I am not a prophet, but even now I see it written into the stars that we are long a catastrophe will be visited upon these hunters and claim hundreds of souls for every one unjustly lynched within the past month—and these victims of the mob number over ten. Oh! my white brother, you are but sowing the wind and God Almighty helps you when burst time comes and you reap the whirlwind! TRAIN KILLS RUFUS, HAMMOND Preston News Service Lt.

ROBERTSON ON THE STAGE NEW YORK CITY, June 30—Paul Robeson, former Columbia University football star, has entered the theatrical circuit, being a member of the "Smith Along" company, the season's greatest hit on Broadway. GOING GOING GONE The Coleman Brothers' latest venture as producers of colored attractions met a sad set back and the Creole Follies returned to New York last week after a most harrowing experience at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D. C. Now, I hope my readers like the way I am dishing up this theatrical dope, for unlike the so-called sunnish collins scattered throughout the land, I refuse to hand out the bonus stuff and bluff our people about how nice everything is when truth will eventually and show us the boys in the game are not kidding the creature out, nor giving their readers a good run for the money invested in a colored newspaper. Rutus Byars, impressario extraordinario and manager conditionally runs the Lincoln theatre in Washington. This is one of the houses built by Crandall. Crandall is the owner of that Knickerbocker house which caved in during the winter months and so too many white folks on the happy hummingbird street. A chance to spy how much superior they were to colored people. It would seem that Crandall is not at all anxious for colored men and women to patriciate his theatres in Washington where such men as Tom Watson and others find such happiness in spanning the poor colored brother. In other words they do not even care to him-crow you in the white Cranall house—just don't want you in there now. This leaked out and the colored people of Washington have been passing up the Lincoln theatre and one of the unrelated theatres in the country. Rufus Ryars used to manage Andrew Thomas' Howard Theatre and made it number of friends; then he went to the Murray Brothers, but it was not long before he had a falling-out with Raymond. Morris and the other Murrays 'The Murrays handle to put one of the best theatres in be in bed with the others, so you can judge for yourself why the Lincoln is in Dutch. Shows have been dying weekly at the Lincolne, hence when the Coleman Brothers and their Creole Folles Review arrived in the home town of the late R. W. Thompson, it was to find that colorful people. We will be in lined to see the show at the Lincoln and the Creole Folles Revenue died a most ignominious death. Dudly, the Murray Brothers and Robert Levy control, not only the Howard theatre, but another house in Baltimore, the Denglass and companies book with them can be assured of play by one one. So you can see why Mr. Byrars and the Lincoln theatre will be due for the hardest time of any theater in the country. NEW YORK CITY, June 30—A movement is on our feet to assemble a big production to go to the West Indies. South America next fall. Promoters are looking on the venture with much favor and it is more than likely that a company will sail from here for a 24-week's run early in September. They say people in that part of the world have never seen a real big colored company. Criticizing like charity should, begin at home. There's something you can achieve without effort: failure. Nothing else. Every bit of work done multitlessly is a work of art.
