FAVORABLE REPORT IS MADE ON DYER'S BILL
Senators And Workers At Washington Believed Adverse Report Would Be Made On Anti-Lynching Bill. Borah Only Republican To Vote Against It Reed Of Missouri Also On Opposition N. A. A. C. P. And Equal Rights League Deserve Much Credit.
Associated Negro Press
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 5—The Judiciary Committee of the Senate has reported the Dyer-Lynching Bill favorably. This action was made much to the surprise of the Senate and the Washington public because it was known for several weeks, that an ad verse report on the bill was the most likely action to be taken by the Ju-democratic Senate. The committee that will serve no public good in the state of the general public's mind, although it is known that there is a substantial Southern sentiment expressing its favor for the adoption of some legal decree that will serve as a check on the unobstructed practices of their section.
That he N. A. A. C. P. and the Equal Rights League deserves great credit for a hot fight on the question. A considerable number of Republicans are known to be against the adoption of a national anti-lynching measure at this time, believing, they avert that it will serve no public good in the state of the general public's mind, although it is known that there is a substantial Southern sentiment expressing its favor for the adoption of some legal decree that will serve as a check on the unobstructed practices of their section.

Senator Borah of the sub-committee haying in charge the bill, voted against its favorable report. The Republican members of the committee, Branudegge Cummings, Colt, Sterling Ernest, Shortridge, and Nelson voted for the report and Washburn Overman. Reed, Shehla, Walsh, and Borah against favorable action.
Senator Borah's opposition is declared, by him, to be on the grounds that it is his belief that the Supreme Court will declare the measure unconstitutional if it is adopted by Congress in its present form.

greatly alarmed; by the statement of
Lord Northcliffe, the noted journalist
that the white race is in danger of being
submerged by the large burden of
the darker races of the world. He affects
to have discovered that that the darker
races are being fast molded, later to
future, the total annihilation of the
white races.
He calls it an international question. He avers that the birth rate among the whites is decreasing to an alarming extent. This situation he declared to be deplorable. Pouting out that the more intelligent members of the dark eras are at present busy circulating stories concerning the deterioration of the whites, and are adoring, their brightness, and are ready for the delivery of a blow that will end white domination of the world. While Lord Northlife's alarms are not seriously regarded by the officials of the Empire, the rank and file of the people, many places, are giving his theories thoughtful consideration. Many are also declaring that Northlife's pronouncements are the vapors of a man who has passed the test. He is polled out that there are well found red rumors afflict that he will soon be relinquish the reins of the management of his chain of newspapers as a result of ill health.

a hot light on the question. A considerable number of Republicans are known to be against the adoption of a national anti-lynching measure as this time, believing, they avert that it will serve no gibble good in the state of the general public's mind, although it is known that there is a substantial southern sentiment expressing its favor for the adoption of some legged instruments that will serve as a check on the unobedience of their section.
That he N. A. N. C. P, and the Equal Rights League deserves great credit for the fight they have put up for the favorable position now held by the bill is conceded on all sides here. The executives of these organizations vote their intention of going to the mat on the question by carrying the right to the floor of the Senate. Every Republican Senator is to be tagged on the position he takes when the final voting takes place. No one can forecast with certainty, the final outcome. There appears to be powerful interest opposed to national action in this particular instance. No one can point to the influence, but it seems to be around. But the fight is on, nevertheless.
ODOR OF BURNING HUMAN FLESH IS IN THE PURE FREE AIR WE BREATHE
Tomorrow R May Be Our Brother, Our Father, Our Sister, Even Our selves The Victim Of Mad-dened Rage Prejudice
(By The Associated Negro Press)
DETROIT MICH. July 5. — Pauline Smith, one of the Colored print stenographers of this city, has issued an address on the famed Dyer-Lynch-ing BH. Which contains the following significant statement:
"We have tried the blanket petitions to congress, the securing of "Personal interviews" with the "Free ident" and are now trying the silent parade" which are all good and commendable as far as they go; but they do not go far enough. They do not cut deep enough, for they neither touch the white man who takes photos nor move in pleasure and luxuries. It had been said that "money talks". It is the medium of exchange in this world and the only language that some—people understand. But it is also a great out-standing truth that the one thing that outranks money in the minds and lives of men is "sacrifice". "Greater love hath no man than this, that man lay down his life for his friends, that he do brotherhood in the bonds of race prejudice efficiently to feel that we also are "bound with them", that it is almost sacrilege for us to go to shows and otherwise frolic and have "good time" while if our sympathies were keen enough we could sense through the pure free air that we breathe the odor of burning human flesh—fresh that is desiplied because its outward hue is black, then we have not gone to the uttermost in the heart of our self-preservation, should impel us to leave the use of no weapon untried that may be effective in winning this battle. It is far away today, we think. But tomorrow, it may be our brother, our father, our sister, even ourselves who may be the victim of maddened race prejudice."
WATSON SAYS GEORGE
WASHINGTON SWAPPED
SLAVES FOR LIQUORS
Georgia Senator, Who Seems To Like
"A Wee Bit," Himself, Says The
Man Who "Could Not Tell A
Lie" Also Insulted.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5.
George Washington, the statesman of
his country, not only drank rum and
beer, but he is declared to have
swapped the slaves for bar-
rum and kegs of beer. Senator
Watson, of Georgia, is the historian
who has brought these interesting
charges against the memory of the
Immortal George. Mr. Watson is one
of the literary lights of the South.
He has the reputation of having writ-
ten several authentic histories. At
least, this is what he accused of
doing by his admirers. In admira-
rent about that the doughty and bellicose
member from the State of Georgia
likes "a wee bit" to swallow on his
own account, and is slyly bolstering
his wachiness in this direction" by
widely assuring the one person
the history of the country who could
not tell a lie to his master, as he
could in his absence doing so.
The insult is likely to cause a
waste of Virginia from Georgia.
What if she else thing should happen?
Just no more there is no truth in the report.

The Dyer Anti-Legal Hill is favorably reported out by the Senate Judiciary Committee after its long sleep following its overwhelming victory in the lower House. "Conscience has awakened in the Senate," say the friends of human liberty, "Playing politics" is the charge of the dead-mant southern following around Washington.
Informed colored men and women believe that the silent parades held by our people at Washington. Boston and New York recently have had more than any other one thing to do with the action on the Lynch board. The tragedy of burning bodies and the stern demand of a race for common justice has been brought home to eastern minds in a definite manner. The sight of those sands covered men women and children, calmly and in absolute silence, marbling slowly through the streets displaying banners charging America with her greatest shame has certainly had an effect.

It is contended by opponents of the Dyer Bill that the Judiciary, action is simply a political measure and that nothing further is contemplated.

Endorsed By Ministers Alliance
The candidacy of Mr. Hairston
was unanimously endorsed by the Min
sage and Senators who see that their supporters are strongly insistent that action be had and quickly, are not going to risk their political heads. A the same time if the colored people of the nation become complacent and raise their efforts Senators will come to believe that any side track the bill will impose any danger. The brown lovers of the lynch law privileges are busy. The Ku Klux Klan and all its sympathizers realize perfectly that with a federal law against lynching, peonage, segregation letter addressed by President Harding to Gov. Sproul of Pennsylvania, begging mercy for a dog condemned to, then, denial of the franchise, and fire trap Negro schools will have to be a part of the yast. This nation is whether armed people realize what they want and what they will mean to the Negro race in America. Tees and Children.
A smile of deep sorrow, and of understanding, came over the 'faces of many' Colored Americans upon reading a letter addressed by resident Harding to Gov. Sproul of cansylvania, begging mercy for a dog condemned to death at Orvilla, Penn.
Colored men remember the Lynchin: burning of a fifteen year old colorist boy last month, and ten men; the lynchings of thousands of colored men, women and children and then memory awakened of the thousands of appeal which have been made to our chief executive to put a stop to these crimes.
The question naturally arises: "Which is most important in the timation of our President, dogs or children?"
Dog love and Child Love
When a man has been out in the wilderness and has known the com companion to a good dog and a good dog he learns real love for both. The same man though, who has felt soft baby hands on his face and who has seen weak little limbs strong and sleeping voices become clear and has seen voices become clear and has seen the light and life in the eyes of his growing children has learned the sort of love God has for his kind. A real man might die to protect his his horse. Any warmth the nature has felt to protect little children from the Lynchin stakes and fires.

SCULPTRESS SAYS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN WORLD ARE COLORED
Miss May Crauner Chose A Negro Female Figure For Heroic Statue Symbolizing The New World.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., July 5
Dr. Frank Crauner has recently called attention to the work of Miss May Crauner, the noted sculpturess and her comment on why she chose a Negro female figure for her heroic statue symbolizing the New World.
Dr. Crauner reports Miss Crauner as saving
"I believe that the most beautiful women in the world, spiritually and physically, are to be found among the colored women in the southern United States, who chose the figure of a Negress to symbolize the new world."
"It was the deep mystic beauty in the eyes of the southern 'mammies' that first attracted me in Virginia. There is more spirituality shining out of the eyes of these Colored women than can be found in any race of white women on the earth.
"The marvel to me is how the beauty of the Negress has for centuries escaped artists and sculptors. She is more beautiful in face and form, than the white woman."

PRES. KING OF LIBERIA
FAVORED FOR 2ND TERM
Present Executive Has Worked Hard
And Earnestly To Effect Closest
Possible Relations With
The United States
(By The Associated Negro Press)
MONROVIA, LIBERIA, July 5.
Nathaniel H. B. Cassell, writing in
the "Liberian Patriot" of May 6,
1922, has this to say, of President
King as a statesman and his availability
as a candidate for renomination
for President in 1924:
"Mr. King since his induction as
President has been exceedingly busy
the one absurd thing they claimising his
power. All thinking Liberians' attention
has been a satisfactory settlement
of the approach with our
traditional sponsor, the United States.
There can be no question about it being
the biggest question engaging the
minds of Liberians, and has been for
some time past. It will take all of
President King's first term to get
that question satisfactorily set on its
way, the question, which, until now,
he has given the best powers of his
mind to. Not because it is the only
question, but 'because the very nature of
them settled be-
fore much else can be done. Not
because of the Five Million Dollar
Plan; but, because, as all the
leaders of this country, know, or
should know, there are bigger and
more involving questions.
President King has not departed in any respect from the original policy outlined in our terms, when we made our first approach to the Government of the United States in 1908, when we sent our Envoys to that Government, headed by Sultan Dosen, then the king, who has always championed the very closest possible relations with the Government and people of the United States of which our own Republic is an affront.
Having had such thorough acquaintance with our foreign relations having been connected with the Government since the approach to the United States began, and having thus far as President been endearing to carry out that policy very religiously, he seems unanimously fitted to conduct the business of the State and to become the National Standard Bearer for 1924. It is hopeful that our fellow citizens will by their unanimous vote return him to Office May 1923.
Blair is he that considers the next. The Lord will deliver him in

PROPOSAL TO CONSTITUTION OF MISSOURI
Guarantees Constitutional Rights To All Citizens And Special Privileges To None. Was Offered By B. F. Bowles Of St. Louis. A few days ago some of our daily papers featured in their headlines what they termed as an "equality proposal" in the new state constitution which was introduced by B. F. Bowles. There was nothing in the proposal to excite same people in a civilized country according to comments on the article appearing in the dailies.
The following is proposal no. 208 offered by Mr. Bowles:
tered by the laws that the following shall become a part of the Constitution of Missouri:
"The rights, privileges and immunities guaranteed by this Constitution apply equally to all the citizens of the state. All laws affecting these matters must be of general application and neither in the making nor in the interpretation nor in the enforcement of the laws shall the rights, liberties, privileges or immunities of any citizen of the state be increased, diminished or abolished in any religion, race or any other class consideration. This provision, however, shall not prevent such exemptions from jury and military service and such tax and other exemptions or immunities as may herein or by general law be provided."
Commenting on the proposal Mr Bowles said "It offers special privileges to none."

ETERNAL PROTECTION: — The Lord shall preserve the going and the coming in from the other foot, and from the other wounds — Tuesd. 123
GIBSON TRIO NOW ASSURED FOR NEXT WEEK AT THE B. W
Once more, and for the third time we are promised a return engagement of The Gibson Trio to the Booker Washington Theatre. This is the act with the wonderful little dancing girl which has twice been delayed from reappearing here be-cause of the illness of the older female member of the combination. Now we are given positive assurance that they will be able to respond to popular request and appear next week on a good vaudeville bill with three other acts. Coleman and Johnson will be seen and heard in a new humorous conglomeration: Josephine Leggett will offer a popular song and dance variety; and Rhodes and Mitchell will present an act of surprised nonsense.
The little round of "The Leather Pushers" will be shown the entire week and Monday, as usual will be "Pay Day" when all who enter the theatre will receive an envelope containing some sum of money from 1e to $5. Eagle stamps up to $40 value, or passes THIS WEEK'S SHOW
The week's show at the Booker Washington Theatre consists of four entertaining vaudeville acts.
Grace Arnetes, working under cork is graceful and musical as well as funny with witty sayings, singing and buck-dancing.
Williams and Brown have an act filled with comical domestic quibbles, sympathetic and dance seventies.
Chick Beamn, monologist and singer keeps the audience in a jumercotton while before the Footlights.
Austin and Graham close the show with prevaricated narratives for fun only; songs, and a trombone-dance song finale that goes over good.
The fourth round of the "Leather Pushers" is read hot, and worth the price of admission.
Tag Hartgraves was a feature dancing attraction at Chandlerville, HI, on the Fourth, teaming with a white performer.
Mae Murray In "Fascination" At The Starr Saturday And Sunday... House Then Closes For Two Weeks
The domestic drama "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" is being shown at the Star Theatre this Friday (On Saturday and Sunday Mae Murray will be presented in "Fascination") The star appears as the daughter of a Spanish father and an American mother. The combination of the Latin ten perament and the Anglo-Saxon gives Miss Murray a wonderful opportunity to reperkarkable acting as Dolores DeLisa. She portrays the part of a young girls who, revolting against the chapel onage of an amant, decides to give herself a holiday. Disguising herself in a black wig and garb she attends a bull fight against the wishes of her aunt. At the bull fight she meets Carritha, a handsome young to reader, who fascinates her immediately. It is this fascination that supplies the main motive for the play.
After Sunday, this theatre will be closed for two weeks for alterations. The seating capacity will be enlarged a new and better ventilating system installed, the screen made larger and higher, also other changes planned to add to the comfort of the patrons. The reopening will be about Sunday, July 23.
Carl Laramie's big million dollar production, "Football Wives," which started a three day run at the Comed Theatre "Thursday is making a big bit. It is announced that the at-touchance Thursday ran into the then stands and every one seems highly chatted over the spectacle. Saturday will be the last day.
The feature Sunny will be "The Last Trail" The story is built upon the operations of a bone handi known as the "Night Hawk," and contains in tensely dramatic situations, threaded by a love romantic unusual, in its development. The great climax at the close of the story involves the criminal breaking of a big dam on the mountain and the consequent flooding and destruction of a village far below. The making of these scenes—for which both village and concrete slam were constructed—is said to have been a task involving large expenditure of time, labor and money.
On Tuesday, "Loudy Heart" will be the feature, and on Thursday the latest picture story by Fannie Hurst, "The Good Provider" will be present. It is the story of an over-indulgent father who gives his children every happiness he can possibly affoed and who is rewarded by demands upon his pocket book that drive him almost to desperation. His children love him but they have the heedlessness and optimism of youth that so often cause pain to the elders. The picture is abundantly provided with laughable situations, humor that will strike home to every spectator.
"The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse At Pendleton
"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," the Jex Ingram production that cost Metro $1,000,000 to make and that New Yorkers paid $10 a seat to see when it opened its record-breaking run fa the metrosilis, will be presented at the Pendleton Theatre four days; Sunday Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is not a war story; it is a big vital pulsating drama which carries a big vital moral with it. One of the lessons it teaches is that the worshipping of earthly treasurers is faithful and points to the greed and selfishness which pervade in the hearts of men. Its romance inspires its beauty enthralls and as a spectacle it amazes. It concentrates the great struggle in a series of unforgetable pictures that flash out the quintessence of life at white heat. The director makes us see above the struggle the awesome figures of the four horsemen. Conquest/War Family and Death, prophesied by St. John in the Book of the Apocalypse, chastening into our very hearts.

"Way Down, East" in the picture spectacle form that D. W. Griffith has built up on the story of the family play of the same title will be seen at the Jestabare Theatre, four days, the Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays day. Mr. Griffith has taken a simple story of a phase of New England life that is all but too swiftly passing from view and employed its 'plain' people with their quaint characters and their rugged sense of the honest and the human and unfolded a series of adventures and restraints which illumine the ever troubled path of love. As Mr Griffith himself likes to put it "Way Down East" is a tale of love and lover in a framing of such exquisite charm and pastoral beauty the most captions of critics have said many of its scene are worthy to hang in the best art galleries of the world. Rising up from its charm and its humors in colorful contrasts it rushes to a climax in the powerful lee jam and the breaking up of the floor on the river whist combines every element of stirring drama and becomes at once the most astounding, and remarkable scene ever seen within a playhouse i nal times.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the Jestamere, will offer Ourline Griffith in "Island Wives." The story deals with the life of *p*, white woman in the South Sea Islands and shows her longing to be in the North, where she can wear beautiful clothes and *foe* cool dresses. A severe tropical story gives her her wish and she soon realizes that true happiness only exists or the tropical island with her husband

They meet later in life in romantic circumstances and as Minstl is the wife of a disreputable noble and Peter Ibbsetton is sent to the asylum for Mife for murder, they see each other only in vivid dreams. Thus their beautiful love story develops delightfully.
On Sunday, Mac Murray will be presented in "Fascination." This famous star is again seen in a picture which even excels all her previous efforts. As an impressive daughter of a Spanish-American marriage, who becomes fascinated by a handsome torcador, she creates a lovely, new character, and brings to the screen a dramatic story which, for sheer intensity, would be difficult to strippass. The story is told with all the romance and flavor of old Spain.

John J. Hurley, a candidate for Republican Committee for the 20th Ward, was born at 3850 Easton Ave. February 16th, 1893 and resided with his parents at the above number and at 3424 Evans Ave., until June 22nd, 1927 when he was married and has since made his home with his wife at 4022 Kennerly Ave. Therefore, "Hurley has lived in the 20th Ward all his life, except for the time he served in the United States Army during the World War. When the war broke out our Government called for men to should arms, "Hurley" was one of the first to volunteer his assistance in what was known at that time as the 22nd Ward to help Mr. Blake the Chair man, to register those eligible for Service. Hurley assisted Blake until June 15th, 1918 when he enlisted in the United States Army as a private and served only a week when he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant, Or September 15th, 1918 he passed at qualifications to enter the officers training school at Camp Grant. Illinois where the Armistice was signed and where he was serving and studying to be an officer for Uncle Slim when the Armistice was signed and he was honorably discharged on November 27th, 1918 and on November 29th he was back on the Job as Inspector in the Health Department and was transferred to the Election Commission's office about the 7th day of December, 1918 where his work was commended by his superiors until June 1st, 1922 when he resigned to make the race for Ward Committeeman for the Republican Party in the 20th Ward.
It is said that Hurley is a true friend to the Negro, trying at all imiter to benefit the members of their party offer neglecting himself to do a favor for a colored man. In an article published in St. Louis Trilogy on July 1st it was stated that William Haffner of 1900 Whittier St. was interviewed by one of the reporters and Haffner stated he was about to become a candidate for Committeeman when however, he found a man free from race prejudices, he said why should he run. Elmer Moose is in the office, he has experience, he is showing the right attitude and if a man in office is doing right, why put him on. Mr. Haffner also stated Mr. Moose has been Committeeman of the 20th Ward for 33 months, and in that time appointed three colored men to major positions and nine to minor positions. Hurley wishes to state that Mr. Haffner had inasmuch as Mr. Moose was Committeeman for the past sixteen years in the old 20th Ward, which had about 800 colored registered voters, and out of the 800, he had not one colored man working in any Department in the city. The Board of Aldermen changed the ward lines last June 18, 1921, making Mr. Moose Committeeman in the new 20th Ward for the past 13 months, instead of 31% months as stated by Haffner. As for Moose getting Hopson his major position in the Assessor's Office Hurley desires to claim quite a bit of credit owing to the fact that he (Hurley) went to the Assessor's several times in Hopson's behalf, until Hopson was put to work. As for McHurry, Hurley states Mac was entitled to a position long before he got it and he does not believe Mr. Moose was instrumental in placing McHurry and believes Moose did not not know Mac was at work until he was there a few days. Williams job, according to Hurley, could not be called a position because of the fact that, Williams is not on the payroll unless he works. He gets paid for what he writes as he is a copiest in the Recorder's office and if he cannot write, or, he does no report for duty he gets no pay.
A. Friend To All The People
Hurley has had two colored men re-
instated, one at the City Hall and one
in the Police Department, and has
shown several other courtesies to the
Negro. He is a young man aspiring
to be elected as Ward Committeeman
in the 20th Ward, he realizes the fact
that the Negro vote counts. Let
every Negro in the 20th Ward vote for
him and give him a chance. He is
young, has all the qualifications and
above all has proven to be the Negroes
friend and promises, if elected, to do
all in his power to better the conditi-
tions that now exist among the col-
ored.

We are thinking of a section of President Harding's speech at Marion, Ohio, a few days ago. We are wondering what he really meant when he said: "The foremost thought in the constitution is the right to freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Men must be free to live and achieve."
If men must be free to live and achieve, as the President so eloquently says, we still wonder why the President insists on placing the handicap of prescription, segregation and Jim-crowism upon the colored people of this country.
We further noted that President Harding said: "Governments cannot tolerate class or group domination through force." These are lofty sayings and carry a deal of weight and meaning, but the question is, what do they mean coming from the Chief Executive of this nation? We raise this query because the President knows he practices class domination every day.
Being President of the United States, we suppose that Mr. Harding delegates himself the right to be as inconsistent as was Woodrow Wilson during the later's eight years as President of the United States. However, we must quote another passage from this recent address when he said:
"My one outstanding conviction after sixteen months in the presidency, is that the greatest traitor to his country is he who appeals to prejudice and inflames passion when sober judgment and honest speech are so necessary to firmly establish tranquility and security."
Here the President speaks of traitors. He brands the man a "traitor" who appeals to prejudice and inflames passion. My God! Why don't he dismiss some of those traitors in the departments at Washington who move, live, and have their all through prejudice.
MAKING PROGRESS ON THE DYER BILL
Despite the fact that pessimists and the Democrats predicted, the Dyer anti-lynching bill which is now before the United States Senate, is making substantial progress.
It is gratifying to us to know that the Judiciary Committee of the Senate has reported the bill favorably, despite the efforts of Jim Reed, the senior senator from Missouri.
Those who have opposed the bill will have to find another "alibi" as the old statement "die" or "sleep" in the committee has failed them.
In reporting this bill favorably to the Senate, the committee did the proper and logical thing. If the bill with the present changes is not constitutional, its interpretation, should be left for the Supreme Court of the United States to decide. Therefore, it is now the duty of the Senate to act on the bill and pass it in that body so that it can become a law. President Harding says he will sign the measure.
It has been insinuated that the Republicans will possibly pass the bill for "political reasons." We suppose that the Democrats will oppose the bill for "political reasons."
There will be a whole lot of "belly-aching" in the Senate on the part of Southern Senators when the Anti-lynching bill comes up for consideration. You talk about "playing politics," we are hardly able to predict what will happen to some of those Southern Solons who for political reasons are pledged to their constitutency at home to let them lynch a "nigger" whenever those crackers get darn ready.
And while it is not generally admitted, yet it is a pretty well known fact that fear of their defeat is in the hearts of those Southern Senators if the anti-lynching bill passes the Senate. Of course, the country will not loose much if they don't return, so we are quite hopeful of its passage.
Don't forget those candidates who are members of the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan is the same menace to public welfare as the common fly is to public health. Swat them both whenever, and wherever you get the chance.
The fellow who gives up in the race, acknowledges his defeat.
Politics make strange bed-fellows. Have you noticed so much handshaking these days?
Lynching and general prevalence of lawnness will continue in America until the government takes a hand in breaking it up.
Trust in self. The other fellow may fool you.
Selfishness is at the bottom of most of our troubles.
After hearing both sides of a subject, you are, as a rule, as you were.
We wonder what would become of the world if every body told the naked truth.
Will the mayor have the courage to appoint a colored man on the school board? As to the justness and righteousness of the act, there is no doubt.
Ninety-nine percent of the colored people in St. Louis say that we should have a high school east of Grand Boulevard. What does the Board of Education say?
After reading the speech delivered by President. Harding at his old home town in Marion the other day, we confess, that we don't know whether he was coming or going.
We don't understand why every candidate who is aspiring for political office disclaim that they are a boss candidate. The truth which we would like to know is the difference between a political leader, and a political boss.

RIGHT TO FREEDOM
By J. A. CABTON
According to the Sunday St. Louis Globe Democrat, the Klux Klan is gaining ground, housing in its struggle from impunity in governmental affairs in the country. It is already alleged that this organization exists, (some in) greater numbers others in less) in twenty states in the Union. The activity of the Klan in political affairs especially where they exist in large numbers have aroused the interest of the political powers to the extent that the press that sentiment may be stimulated against its appalling disintegration of our government.
Since the re-organization of this once dead institution its effects and influence has been felt to no small degree especially as it has prescribed against the Negro, having for its established slogan "The Supremacy of the white race," but there seems to be another principle underlying its activities which has caused an exertion of the Negro's will to pose. Many men of intellect have sought to establish a ground for either defending or rejecting its principles but in the final analysis they have decided that the activities justify denunciation. In Texas, then the Klan has extended wonderfully there seems to be a noted activity to defeat both Republican and Democrat candidates, in McLennan County, the sheriff who is a candidate for rejection states that the Klan has given him more unrest from its idea of the Negro than from its men and in closing his statement, he avows himself to stand for the constitution of the United States.
The effect of this organization is being felt as all law violating organizations is finally felt. The effect of lawlessness is reactionary. It is in nature conquestive and when out, site sources cease to form and the organization begins to make prey of its constituency. In the states of Texas, Georgia, Alabama, and others south of the Mason,Dixon Line, we can easily recall some of the dastardly crimes committed against the Negro and especially the white Texans. We can recall Texas with the symbol of the organization (K, K, K) on his forehead.
The Negro newspapers have demonstrated editorially and have given the acts of the Klan all prominence through their columns, that a fering of denunciatin might be reached by the masses who read them but seemingly to no avail. The fact seems to have been that the warning was sounded upon deaf ears. But, in question, there is perhaps a chance for a favorable denunciation of this mysterious organization about which few seem to know what is its real purpose.
Truth must have its hearing and though the Negro has been the original, target of abuse; in a frenzy to govern affairs, the Khan seems now to be striking at the heart of the government and by so doing it is exposing the hand of disloyalty that will ultimately mean "a house divide dagatah itself." It must be further recognized in the hearing that there has never been a Negro organization that has been distinguished by the government as to its interest to arouse strife or discord against the Constitution, altho he has been loyal to every principle of government, he has been scourged and rejected and subjected to every act of injustice.
The remarkable growth of the Klan since its re-organization has become alarming. When we think of twenty states having within their boundaries such organizations, it makes us feel that we are unable to know who are a-part of it or sympathizers with it, and that we are subject to intimidations growing out of such affiliations at any time. New York and the New England States have objected to its establishment but we are aware that in Connecticut, such an organization is exists, shows that the slogan that it offers to the theorist of race forces an interest in it and the policies of the organization are carried out by the most unscrupulous of its members.
We sucerely hope that the sentiment which is being aroused will have its effect upon its annihilation and thereby set a precedence to be followed for, all time to come. A thing not universal, should not predominate in a country with a Republican form of government, and more, especially when it proves to be against the fair and best government to rail concerned. The suffrage of the people is being called into action to defeat the purpose of the Klan but our idea of an investigation is one of those Federally to do so. In case of prohibition, violators, the government has a way exacting respect of the laws and feeling that laws should be made to give the government jurisdiction over all secret organizations especially when they begin to effect the country, from a moral standpoint and threaten the integrity of its constitution.

There is a plague scattered abroad
which strikes at the tyranny roof of so
city and underminds the very buses 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? I is not hot, I say so, and good night and so many other suicide words, suicides are as a man walking in dark better than night because his deeds are evil. Eliminate the virtue from any term of expression and the sayings of man would not be worth writing or reading Thought itself would become a perfect and chaos or starless night. The very closest circle of society is infested with the plague of scorn and contempt for all that is above cunt, jay and king. Under the cover of the night of lawless terms, where the owl wished evil stalks abroad; Empires crumple kingdoms fall and the good are betrayed.
Eliminate the vulgar and hope will bloom and virtue will spring up like a flower that border the highway of antiquity; making garlands for living forsêches

AMELIA
AMELIA is derived from that remarkable word amal, which has formed the root of so many proper names. It apts us in practically every language and means "work." As early as the days of the Vikings, it was incorporated into masculine and feminine names.
The first Amellias was an armorer in the court of King Nielung. Aumlung, another of the early versions, appears in the "Book of Heroes" as naming Aumlung the Strong and there was a Duke Amelia recorded in Danish ballad lore.
Amala was the earliest feminine name formed from Amal. It was a favorite in Lombardy, but soon penetrated Germany, where it foundogue as Amalle. Meanline, France and Italy had adopted the Latin Amella and through the similarity in sound, the two names were thought to be identical. France compromised the difference between Amelia and Amalle and produced Amelie, the name which has such vogue there today.
Amelia is the English version. It has replaced all other forms—even in Germany—the French Amelia alone surviving.
The amethyst is Amelia's talismanic stone. It will guard its wearer from danger and protect her from contagion. According to ancient belief, the amethyst has a sobering effect upon rash or impetuous natures. To dream of it signifies freedom from harm. Saturday is Amelia's lucky day and four her lucky number. The primrose, signifying simplicity, is her flower.

Its wings were clipped so it could not go far and many tricks had the farm man taught Jim Crow.
One day Betty was playing under the tree near the barn with her tops, and Paper Doll was there also, dressed in her very best dress, the gold one. She stood on top of a little table when Betty went in to her dinner, and when she came out Paper Doll had disappeared.
"She must have blown away," said Grandma, who came out to help look for Paper Doll; but, though they looked all around the yard, and even in the tree, nowhere could she be found.
By and by the farm man came along and Betty told him she had lost her doll dressed in her best gold dress, and nowhere could she find her.
Just then Jim Crow came fluttering to the shoulder of the farm man-and sat there, turning his head from side to side, his bright eyes looking all around.
"Your doll wore a gold dress?" asked the man with a smile. Betty told him it was a paper dress, all gold color, and then the man laughed out loud. "I should not wonder if I could find it for you," he said, going toward the barn.
In a few minutes he came out with Paper Doll in his hand. Her dress was all crumpled and her arms bent, but Grandma soon troned her into shape and she was as neat and pretty as ever.
And where do you think Paper Doll had been?
In the burn, where Jim Crow hid all his treasures. He loves bright things, and when he saw Paper Doll and her gold dress he picked her up and carried her off.
Betty thought it was quite an adventure for Papers Doll, but she watched her things after that when Jim Crow was around, and when Paper Doll wore her best dresses again she sat in the window inside the house, where Jim Crow could not reach her.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
DON'T BLAME THE WAR
DON'T you get tired of hearing people say, day after day, "Well, it was different before the war."
A middle-aged woman said the other day that when she was a child she used to hear her mother and grandmother talk about the good old days before the war. She used to say to herself, with childish satisfaction, "Well, anyway, I'll never have to do that." But today she is doing just that same thing—nalking about the good old days before the war.
Perhaps that is the way of the world. Perhaps our Colonial ancestors used to remember the pleasant conditions before the Revolutionary war. Perhaps France looked longingly back a hundred years ago to the days before the Napoleonic war. Perhaps mankind will always talk of pre-war days with longing.
But just remember that the really well-bred thing, just at present is not to refer too often to the war, not to blame everything unpleasant in life to the war. You can find out just by trying that, if you refrain from blaming the war for the unpleasant things of just one day, you will have made the war seem just that much farther away. One way for us to help the statesmen and politicians solve the peace problem is to forget the war.

YOUR HAND
How to Read Your Characteristics and Tendencies to the Capabilities and Weaknesses That Make for Success or Failure as Shown in Your Palm.
ILLNESS SHOWN IN THE HAND
AS HUMANKIND is subject to the affliction of very many varieties of disease, so the signs, or marks of these illnesses in the hand are many and varied.
A line rising from the line of life and ending in an island on the mount of Saturn, beneath the middle finger, is a sign of pleurisy. Rheumatism, or a tendency toward that widespread disease, is shown by a skin that has a saline feel. A fork at the termination of the line of life is also a sign, with lines crossing downward at the commencement of the line of the heart.
Scarlet fever is shown by a small square on the line of life, the square bearing on its inside an upright crown. Very narrow and curved nails show danger of spinal disease. Peril of sunstroke is shown by an island on the line of the head under the mount of the sun, which lies at the base of the ring finger. If the hand shows a long and wavy line of the heart, with a line of health that is also wavy, and has the second phalanx of the fingers relatively longer than the others the subject will suffer from poor health.

Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER
ROSES OR THISTLES?
DO YOU pause sometimes while journeying through the fields and along the byways of life to consider whether you are gathering roses or thistles? The basket which you are unconsciously carrying is being filled with one or the other, which you will find when you arrive in the gloom of the gathering night and, realize that your wanderings are done.
If when you stop to rest you have velvet roses to look upon you will in your delight quite forget the purpling sky and all that it foretells. You will be happy in the thought that you have not misspeasant your day; glad that you chose the beautiful instead of the repulsive; grateful that you did not misdirect your energies. There is probably scant attention bestowed by you and me to the basket upon our arm into which we are placing every hour of life something which will rise up to praise or condemn us. Our heads are slivered and our feet are tired and unsteady. But on this occasion we cannot retrace our steps. Shadows are all about us, and the half-hidden paths we once knew so well, are unfamiliar.
We are alone with the things we have carried.
We would like to recall sharp words, scraps and trowns we have hurled at our friends, our pathetic fathers and mothers—and surely recall hot tempers and terrible tongues.
As the scales fall from our eyes: there is something of the nature of dismay that takes hold of us and ticks our soul with tears.
Oh, that we might be, permitted to live over those wills. impetuous days of youth!
We would curb our spirit, hide our dislikes and give instead of pain, heaping measures of pleasure.
We would make sure that we would gather nothing but roses—nothing but the sweet, the fine and the lovely.
From those who have gone before it is for the inexperienced starting afield, to learn wisdom, to pick the choicest flowers, and to leave the thorn, the briar and the deadly night-shade untouched.

"Things are seldom what they seem. Skin milk masquerades as cream."
TO PREPARE Danish beefsteak,
take one pound of round steak
chopped, one teaspoonful of salt, one
fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, one
fourth of a cupful of minced onion, one
and one-half cupfuls of celery, three
tablespoonfuls of fat and the same of
flour, two cupfuls of cooked macaroni.
Add salt, pepper, onions and meat,
shape into small-balls, fry in hot trying
pan until well done. Cut celery into
inch pieces, cook in salted water until
tender, reserving the water for the
sauce. Melt the fat, add flour and
celery, water and meat balls, simmer
for minutes, add macaroni and serve
toot.
Take two cupfuls of diced potato, three cupfuls of diced carrot, two cupfuls of diced turnip, two cupfuls of cooked peas, three cupfuls of milk, one tablespoonful of parsley, six tablespoonful each of flour and fat, one half cupful of chopped onion, one teaspoonful of curry, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper and one teaspoonful of salt. Leftover vegetables may be used. Cook the onion slowly in the fat until soft, add flour and seasonings, mix well, add the hot milk, stir and cook until smooth, then add the vegetables; heat well, turn into the serving dish, spritze with parsley and serve. Serve with meat.
Sift two cupfuls of flour with one half teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonful of baking powder. Add one cupful of chopped raisins and pecans mixed in equal parts and one cupful of brown sugar. Gett one egg very light, add one half cupful of milk and stir this into the dry ingredients. Lactily stir in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Drop by cupfuls on a grassed baking sheet, sift over them a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and bake in a quick oven.
THE spread of strikes and the resultant efforts of certain disafflicted elements to cripple industry in every way possible brought into use the French word "sabotage," in such a way that it may be said to have been Anglicized, much as "valet," "barrage," "bullet" and "camouflage" have been Anglicized. By "sabotage," as currently used, is understood the act of producing poor work or other damage either to machinery or to the good will of some commercial organization. The workman who is deliberately careless in the manufacture of some article, is as guilty of sabotage as the workman who wrecks the machine itself—for both of them tend to injure the company for which they are working, either in its reputation or in its operation.
In its original French sense, the word was, a harmless one, entirely unconnected with crime of any kind, and meauling the cutting of shoes or sockets for rails in railroad the "sabot" being French for "wooden shoes." During the strikes which paralysed internal commerce in France toward the end of the last century, many of the strikers tore up the railroad tracks or loosened the shoe so that the rails spread, thus giving the word its new application and the significance under which it has slipped into the language on this side of the Atlantic.

"The Conference," according to the Rev.

The annual meetings, are held in connection with this Hampton Institute Summer School for Teachers, order that a spirit of discussion may be brought about between ministers and teachers."
The Rev. E. H. Hamilton, pastor of Cyrgian's Protestant Episcopal Church Hamilton, Van preached the annual conference session on "Witchcraft Communities for Christian" and made a vigorous plan that men and women should study, train, character, spiritual food, adulthood and love.

**African Discoveryer**
Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Char伯特tecurea, Va., rector of William and Mary College, as well as president of the James and Sister Bates speak in Ogden Hall before the ministers and teachers on "The Meaning of Progress."
Doctor Dilard referred to the disrespect which investigators have been making throughout the continent to Africa. He stated that investigators in Africa have reached the conclusion that there were more different kinds of people on the continent and that they indeed were solely in Damascus, and in government and peoples of Europe. He also stated that investigators have discovered that some patients in Africa have suffered an development that has long generally unimagined. Therefore Dilard quoted Olive Bell.
to be superior over the Negro art I have seen, yet the finest black sculpture is so original in artistic qualities that it is entitled to a place beside them."
Doctor Dillard made an earnest plea that ministered and teachers alike would engage actively in trying to make the world a little better materally, intellectually, and spiritually. He referred to the slow growth in religion, in the relations of men to men and in the improvement of governments. "That civilization is hollow which does not include the improvement of all people, he said. "The Christian ideal is that we have children as good an opportunity for the development of all that is in him as any other child." Doctor Dillard closed his eloquent address with these words: "Is there any other argument that we need to bring in order to say that everybody should have in this world an absolutely fair chance and a freedom to dream not only the dreams of this world but of the world to come?"
**World Challenge to America**
Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America on "The Challenge of Race Relation to American Teachers and Ministers."
Doctor Haynes discussed two questions which are perplexing thoughtful people in North and South America and in Asia and Africa: (1) Are the darker and less-favored classes, peoples and races to be taken into the fellowship of the brotherhood among men on an equal footing, one race and one people with another? (2) As the, come into closer contact with each other, will we be the method by which we shall settle, adjust the inertible crossing of interest in agriculture and industry, the religion, government and politics, and in man other walks of life?
Doctor Harris made a point for the method of co-operation and tolerance "the give and take of people who not according to the Golden Rule."
"The challenge which comes from India, Asia, and Africa" said Doctor Havilies, "is this: Can we work out in our local communities, between white people and Negro people, in demonstration that the teachings of Christ and our Christianity are a religion of applied brotherhood, and a goodwill, will work together, in custom, on our trails, in the therapies, on the railroads; as we meet another, on the trains and, in the street car; as we educate our children together; as we meet, in courts, and in market places."
Doctor Haynes desired that they be a rising title of conscience and that people age learning that as they apply to another life they live, grow and develop.

A. M. E. BISHOPS' COUNCIL HOLDS SESSION IN N. Y
Spontaneous Outpouring Of Cash Follows Bishop Brooks' Plea For Redemption Of Africa
By The Associated Negro Press, NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6. — The recent session of the Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was the fourth session of the Council held in this city in the history of the church. The session was largely attended by bishops, general officers, leading ministers and laymen.
The occasion marke also the fiftieth anniversary of the financial department of the church. John R. Hawkins, of Washington, financial secretary, in his report stated that that the board has handled nearly seven millions of dollars during the period of its activity, more than a half million of the amount being raised during the last fiscal year. The board, then, disclosed that the A. M. E. church is in the midst of a lively period of constructive activity. Everywhere throughout the connection, improvement is shown in spiritual progress and material development.
*Bishop B. F. Lee, of Wilberforce, senior bishop, expressed great faith in the future of the church and the race in America. Bishop Smith, of Detroit, who is the historian of the church, declared in a special interview the Assumption of the Church "This is two things essential to the advancement of the American Negro; concentration and co-operation. Without these the race will go backward rather than forward. The younger generation is now displaying the loyalty to cause that their fathers, did, and without it racial welfare

Bishop Brooks, of Africa, reached the heart of all his hearers in his plea for the redemption of Africa. A more spontaneous outpouring of cash has never been observed here than was given following Bishop Brooks plea at the Sunday service, in behalf of the school for which he is in this country, raising funds. Bishop J. H. Jones of Wilberforce, heads the committee, raising a fund of $500,000 to reconstruct Hall. destroyed fire, and fund to rebuild cemetery and fund. Sufficient funds have been raised to permit construction of the building to be started, and it is hoped to have the new edifice under roof by fall.
Alderman George W. Harris headed the Citizens Committee, that gave the public reception during the session. Representatives of Mayor Hyllen spoke, including also Dean William Pickens, Civic Service Commissioner Morton, and Bishop Carey Hurst, Papa Chappello. Hurd are among those who impressed their personality on the assembly at various periods of the session.
Bishop Chappelle sternly rebuked northerners for referring in tones of pity to the "Poor Colored people of the South." The bishop, who comes from South Carolina, let it be known that the people of the South have advanced to the point where pity is not a need. He did not object to cooperation, but frowned strongly on pity.
The bishops urged the immediate adoption of the Dyer Anti-lynching bill. The session was one of the most successful ever held.
COURT, TO HEAR MASONIC
INJUNCTION CASE AGAIN
The suit for an injunction and an counting of Grand Lodge money brought by Harry H. Walker, Grand
Treasurer, and others against Crittenden E. Clark, Grand Master, and others was again before the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Missouri, last Wednesday, June 21st. This time the court overridden the motion filed by Attorney for Clark and gave Clark until July 3rd to answer to the merits of the action.
In substance, all this means that the Court in everruling the demurrers held that Walker has a meritorious case and that unless Clark is able to prove that he was wrong, or that case will go against him finally on the next hearing.
HAITI IS NOT TO BE VACATED BY THE U. S.
Conclusions Reached By Senate Committee That Occupation Is Best For Its People At Present.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C. 5. 5. — Haiti is not to be vacated by the United States. This much was, determined in regard to Haitian matters by the action of the Senate committee having in special charge Haitian situation last Tuesday. The conclusion reached by the committee declare that the occupation of the country for the good of the U.S. forces is for the good of the people and is the only means where peace can be maintained for its peoples at the present time.

PROHIBITION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT, KEYNOTES OF RACE CONFERENCE
Colored Leaders Of National Prominence To Meet At Nashville With Methodist Board
By The Associated Negro Press
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 5. What promises to be one of the most important conferences ever held. In America between Colored leaders of National prominence will soon take place in Nashville, Tenn., under the auspices of the Board of Temperance, of the Methodist Episcopal Church of which Board Bishop Wm. P. McDowell, of Washington D. C. is president, and Dr. Clarence True Wilson, D. C. of Washington, D. C. is General Secretary. The exact date of this Conference will soon be announced in the press.
This conference will be truly representative in its character; to it will be invited many of the outstanding leaders of both races from widely-connected countries, including all of the more church organizations without regard to denomination, representatives of the press, educational institutions, business and professional men and women, together with representatives of People's Social Welfare, and other-reform agencies throughout the country.
Rev. Dr. J. N. C. Coggin, Secretary of the Department of Colored Work of the Board above-named, has established national headquarters at 1726 Fourth street, N. W. Washington, D.C. His purpose of promoting this movement; to inform the viewed by our Washington correspondent Dr. Coggin said:
"Prohibition and Law Enforcement will be the key note of the coming conference at Nashville. It will be inter-national. Our object is to study in a scientific and practicable relation and attitude of our race group and the prohibition and law enforcement and the pressions from men of influence and standing upon the questions which so vitally affect the present and future welfare of our common country. It has been decided to hold this conference because there seems to be a conflict against the enforcement of prohibition and has taken the form of organized operation and has brought reproach especially against racial group. The liquor and wine elements have always taken time and pain to impose upon the Negro the "invasion" of his rights by the prohibition forces, and he is, too, often use as a cat's paw and left to be exerted on the wet forces. The time is ripe for movement to counteract this influence. In the present time there seems to be the growing and growing disregard for law and order, and a decreasing respect for duly constituted authority. This has been largely due to the fact that the laws written upon our statute books have not been properly enforced law, once written must be upheld. The pro, having suffered most keenly by disregard for law, should be taught that he of all men, should be the last to violate it.
Compulsory Education
The question of compulsory education and similar matters that vitally affect the younger members of our race, as well as the welfare of our race as a whole, will come up for discussion and study at this conference, integrity and progress of the next generation, largely depend upon the moral bent youth of today. Something must be done, while yet there is time, to render him aware of the cells of the present day, and to save him from them. The idea of having such a conference which, in some respects, will be the first of its kind ever held in the history of our Race, has been warmly endorsed and is being enthusiasm supported by representatives, North and East and West, and by welfare and reform out-of the country. The success of the conference is already assured and we invite the successes and co-operation of the public press, and all good citizens without regard to race, denomination, section, or political affiliation.

GOV. HYDE AND MAYOR KIEL TO BE PRESENT
Game Called At 3:15. Will Be Preceded By Street Parade. The New Park Will Accommodate 10,000 Fans
The St. Louis Stars will open their new park at Computer Ave. and Market Street on Sunday afternoon July 9 with the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s as the attraction. The new park, which will accommodate 10,000 persons, is near completion and will be the last management has reached an agreement with the United Railways Company which will allow the club to use the driveway on the North, which is to be closed later. This will give the club a better playing field than if it had been necessary to enclose the park in left field. The grand opening of the new park
will be accompanied by specially ceremonies under the direction of Walshall Moore, State Representative, who will act as master of ceremonies. Governor Arthur M. Hyde and Mayor Henry Kiel have promised to honor the occasion with their presence. A full military band will be on hand to lend cheer and galey to the opening day festivities. The great attraction, however, will be the strong Indianapolis, A. B.

club a great fight as the boys have improved in their play in the past weeks despite the fact that they have lost quite a few games on the road. The club has the fighting spirit so essential to a winning club and on their last home stand convinced the fans that they are a great home club. In the series played here with the Chicago Americans the Stars showed the fans that they enjoyed competition. Owing to the large crowd which I expected for the opening as is indicated by the large demand for box seats the box office will be open at 1:30 to accommodate the fans. Box seats can be reserved in advance at 1:221 Chess mat street, parkway 1012 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
To Have Street Parade
A parade of players and fans lee by a hand, will be given over the street in the central district before Sunday's game and the umple will give the "Play Ball" command at 5:16.
The big ground stand is really occupy the top, which can not be placed from the top. The floor will be placed on the floor, the fans will have to sit in the sun and the comfort any adveniences will be complete.
The Indianapolis series will consist of four games: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Lefty, Bell, the Stars' pitching ace will probably go on the mound for the local club it Sunday's game. Taylor will pitch slab artist from Johnson, Curr, Rye, Jeffries and Hamilton.
Joe Hewitt has recovered from an injury and will be back at short. Follie Holt will return to second, with M. Adam at first and Nate on third. Kenard or Ray will do the recording and the local outfield will have Kwikwol Dudley and Russell with Brooks and Demrett to fall back on. Includes Belt St. Louis team has five other good pitchers: Olidman, Fliner, Meyer; Milwaukee, Kansas City; and Garley from Nashville.
The St. Louis State dropped a hard

is a hodge podge of verses, thrown
together, without introduction and
without sequence. We do not know where
the verses come from, how old or how

all written by Negroes or not. Some
of them sound like the conventional
minstrel dogged, as;

Chicken possum, hoc cake, hot corn, rabbit, these are the themes of many songs. Georgia wintonon figures one as a slight diversion.

"No more chicken, no more plot?" Go away doctor, let me die?" The religious songs tell of David and Daniel and call especially upon Diliah. Elijah is the patron saint of the Negro doodles because his charisor is to take him from this weary world into Heaven. The river Jordan once crossed and all is well. It is a great comfort to find that, unlike the sour Puritan, the Negro never seemed to doubt that he would enter through the pearly gates to Heaven. I'm gwine to Heaven, on the Judgment day.

the impression that one gets of the
whole collection. It is done on a
white man's model, and the 'ugor of
the very simple verse in Mr. Tulley's
collection is lacking. But it does
give me pictures of 'the plantation,

"OLD MAN" McAD00
The veteran first baseman has been playing the initial corner in old time form and batting like a demon for the St. Louis Stars this season.
Out in the midst of verse comes a picture of a plantation life, but tragic, but admirable, very sentimental. The sentimentality is the veneer that the white man has put upon it, and it does not honor the black man's songs.
"The Mind In The Making."
By James Harvey Bainbridge, Published by Harper & Rothery, New York City, Office 2250, Posting: the.
"Creative intelligence in its various forms and activities is what makes man."
So says one of the wisest writers of poetry in his book "The Mind in the Making," a book, which has he great asset of myng us use our minds when we read it.
There is nothing in particular for Robinson's book direction or the race question, but his whole argument is a criticism of prejudice and a demand for intelligent thought. We have tells us first, "recover," that situations form of thinking when we allow our mind to travel where it will. Now comes "rationalizing" when a baker names it as its very condition. It is the effort, to make everything square with our ready-made, little留意 with questions. Much rationalizing consists in finding arguments for going on being as we already do, and hastily having creative thinking, the highest form of thought, the thought which has transformed the world.
To the creative thinker nothing is sacred, that is nothing is right just because it has been. "That an idea is ancient and that it has been widely received is no argument in its favor, and should immediately suggest the necessity of carefully testing it as a probable instance of rationalization."
The creative thinker is the one who is ready to change his mind.
Professor Robipon fills his book with interesting examples of creative thinkers who have shown their greatness by questioning the past, and thinking new thoughts for the future. He drew a Greek history pointing out that the Greeks were great because of their inquisitiveness, their readiness to accept new things. They had no mass of precedent back of them, and were thus better able than the churchmen of the Middle Ages or the politician of today to look keenly in their notion of aristocracy which presented their studying mechanics or natural things. Science was closed to the gentlemen and left to the Slave. That they were, however, amazingly modern, anyone familiar with Greek literature knows well. With the Dark Ages knowledge became altogether rationalizing. Men started with the proposition of ristorite and worked from them. The eternal posthates were always then. And now we are in an age when all things of science think creatively, but when along the lines of economics, of politics for the relation of man to man, man still largely rationalize.
Professor. Robinson does not use the South as an illustration but it would be an excellent one. The South be an excellent one. The South assumes that a certain attitude toward the Negro, the assumption that he is inferior, that black and white must not intermingle, is an absolute truth. It is an eternal proposition, not to be questioned, but always to be defended.
