EARLY VOTE IS EXPECTED ON LYNCHING Dyer Bill Has Been Placed Fourth On Senate Calendar. May Be Brought Up For Debate And Vote In Next Few Weeks. Passage Is Almost Assured. NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—(Special.)—The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was definitely placed on the Senate Calendar for debate and vote at the present session of Congress, this action being taken by the Senate Committee on Wednesday, August 30, according to announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. When it was learned that the Bonus Bill would be passed so soon after being taken up in the Senate, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N.A. A. C.P.," was recalled from his vacation and went immediately to Washington. There he met with all through suffering from an attack of gangrene. He held numerous conferences with Republican leaders in the Senate including Senators Curtis, of Kansas Willis, of Ohio; McCormack, of Jilinols, Calder, of New York; Shortridge of California; and several others. As a result of the work done, and particularly because of the extensive pressure which had been brought to bear on individual Senators, the Dyer Bill was definitely placed on the calendar which means that it will be brought forth within the next few weeks. The bill has been placed fourth, upon the list for immediate consideration. In a letter to the National Office written at Washington, Mr. Johnson states that extensive work will need to be done during the next few weeks that the bill may be voted on and passed. Pressure such as has never been used before must be used. This action deriving Committee is last step before being sent to one more step, that of actual passages, between the present time and the signing of the bill by President Harding which will make it a law Telegraph, write, petition your Senators. Do everything possible to show the Senate that the bill must be passed SENATOR C. E. TOWNSEND DENIES THAT HE HAS NOT WORKED FOR DYER BILL SENATOR C. E. TOWNSEND DENIES THAT HE HAS NOT WORKED FOR DYER BILL Michigan Man Says No One Was More Active Than He In Getting The Bill Reported Out Of The Judiciary Committee NEW YORK, Sept. 6—(Special) Characterizing as untrue a special dispatch to the Detroit Evening News Journal of August 20 in which Jay G. Hayden, Washington correspondent of that newspaper declared that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was not constitutional, and that it was being used solely as a political means of holding the Negro vote in line until after the November elections. Senator Charles E. Townsend of Michigan has wired the letter to the Senate to advancement of Colored people to deny the implications made in the story. The dispatch which is quite lengthy declares, that it is the opinion of the writer that delay by the Senate in acting on this measure is predicted on the belief that the office of the Attorney-general of U. S. does not believe the bill to be constitutional, although the writer of the dispatch must or should have known that a large part of the favorable report of the Senate Committee was given over to a lengthy opinion of the Attorney-general of U. S. to dispatch further states that a number of "Republican Senators who are candidates for re-election are badly scared. Many of them, as in the case of Senator Charles E. Townsend in Michigan, pledged themselves to vote for the Anti-Lynching Bill many months ago; but they have not lifted their voice in the Senate in favor of it, nor otherwise have made any effort to bring about its consideration. The A. A. A. C. P. immediately sent his opinion to Senator Townsend and asked him to comment on the statement made therein. He immediately wired a reply, addressed to Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. as follows: "I have your courteous favor of the thirteenth with newspaper clipping in the form of an article by one Jay G Hayden who is very much interested in my defeat and who does not hesitate to say things calculated to embarrass me. The Dyer Bill has been reported by the Conference on the Judiciary of the Senate and now on the Council of the Senate, but he obviously no opportunity to call it up. Mr. Hayden and everybody else at all familiar with the circumstances know that this till will call for a good deal of debate. They also know that while the special matters are pending before the Senate we cannot call up anything that will detract in any way from the consideration of these other matters and at this time of election when every member of the House and one-third of the Senate are up for reelection and be the choice of the Senate, the special matters can be taken up. No one was more active than I was in getting this bill reported out of the Judiciary Committee and placed on the Senate Calendar and so we will be more active in securing his victory by the original bill." State Historical Society REPUBLICANS' LILY WHITEISM GOES ON ROCKS Southern Policy Has Been "Weighed In The Balance And Found Waiting." One Or More Colored Men Are Slated For Appointment. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 6. The so-called "Southern Policy," that has pungent such widespread disfavor among voters, in the Harding administration, it can be stated with high authority has "Been weighed in the balance and found wanting." Never in favor with practical politicians of the administration there is every reason to believe that the President has been convinced of the folly in trying to make a strictly "illy white" partly in the South, and will open sense this changed viewpoint by naming one more Colored to the South. In a quiet way, there has been recently quite a little progress in appoint. As a matter of cold fact, one need be surprised to hear of a remarkable displacement in a high federal office soon and the final naming of seven men to places, and one of them is likely to be Charles A. Cottrell of Tolod. There has been more sidewalk comment with reference to the former Collector of Internal Revenue for the Port of Houlahan not being in the federal family, than almost any other unless it be the failure of the Senate as Recorder of Docs, which place is now being equally filled by Arthur G. Pore of West Virginia. There has never been in the history of American politics a more disgruntled group of citizens, scores of whom take no active part in the practical game of politics, that would make one's hair stand up. How are these people, and their friends going to vote this fall? That is the big question before the country. The failure of the United States Senate to make a motion to consider the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill prior to the election, will have a further disquieting effect on the voters. More than appointments, more that the personal attitude of President Harding on the recount question, the personal desire of Colored Americans from one end of the country to the other to use immediate action on the anti-lynching bill. That the Democrats sense the political advantage for Republicans in passing the Dyer Bill and will use all of the tactical and parliamentary trick of the game to obstruct action not be accepted by the masses of voters as "sufficient cause" for inactivity. It has got down to the blunt fact, that if the Senators on the Republican ticket expect to receive enthusiastic support from Colored voters, if those who are already in the Senate and up for re-election, and those who have been nominated, and to be elected, from white Colored voters have the use of the ballot desire favorable consideration in November it will be necessary to "show some speed" and get, the measure before the Senate and the country. It has been argued that the Democrats will fillbuster. That doubtless is true, but political history discloses the fact that the Republicans can meet issues when they make up their mind. That fact is well known to Colored voters who are reading newspapers as never before, and are wide awake on the fine point, served to them in most illuminating fashion by well-informed people. September and October will bring many political changes and surprises, there will be rude awakenings and determined stands by the statistical comparisons "now henceforth and forevermore."

MORE LYNCHING IN THE SOUTH MORE LYNCHING IN THE SOUTH A Louisiana Mob Pulls Off What Is Called Orderly Affair. Same Old Excuse Given. "Sheriff Overpowered." No Action Is Taken Against The Leaders. Following close in the wake of the lynching burning of a Negro in Mississippi last week, comes the news of a lynching in Louisiana. It is becoming noticeable that very little is said of a lynching through the daily press now a days. The reasonesses room for speculation. At least the reports as given the public are usually styled as a "quiet orderly afair." The same stereotyped cause tattock on a white woman is given as a reason. In appearing these circumstances may always appear for the word "offerser, overpowered" as a kind of shield for the officers who fail to their duty in protecting their prisoner. A report of a recent lynching which took place in Louisiana was as follows: Overpower Officer to Lynch Negro. SHREVEPORT. L.a., Aug. 30 — The body of Thomas Rivers, 25 year-old Negro, alleged confessant of assault of a young white woman of this city, was found this morning by Bossier parish authorities hanging from the limb of a tree near the lynchment highway. Bossier parish about 12 miles from Shreveport. He was taken from officers by a mob late inst night as he was being transferred to Benton La. for safekeeping. No action against lynchers is contemplated by authorities. NEGRO TAKEN FROM JAIL IN TEXAS AND LYNCHED ORANGE, Tex. Sept. 7-4.

WHITES JIM-CROWED BY NEGRO THEATRE OWNER WHITES JIM-CROWED BY NEGRO THEATRE OWNER Learns Lesson Of Discrimination From White South. Dissatisfaction Expressed. PENSACOLA, Fl. Sept. 6 A new thing in Jim Crowism is being furnished at E. C. Cumming's Belmont Theatre here in that the segregated section of the theatre which custom has set aside for colored people in the south is being occupied by white patrons, the "Ruzard Roost" being the only part of the theatre where white people are allowed to sit. The psychology of the southern white man who loves Negro vaudelle is being worked on. It is a well known fact that southern whites generally display a colored show and the laws of the south say plainly that the race must not mix, seen on the way to heaven, so the Belmont's handling of the situation is with good deal of interest both by colored folk and white. The Belmont as "Key" house of the new, Managers and Performers circuit began its new departure in handling the Jim Crow question on August 1. If Jim Crowing white people proves profitable at the Belmont it will mean the financial salvation of a number of coloured houses which have herefore been excluded from account of the laws of the states where they are doing business. In as much as the Jim Crow laws have always operated to the disadvantage of colored people in establishing stores or on cars owned by white people the manager of the Belmont is as simply carrying out the custom. As the "Key" theatre of the circuit is owned by colored people it does not necessarily have to accept apprentices as it can get. The reason happiness never hatches for more people is because they must learn to JAS. P. PAINTER APPOINTED SEC. PUB.SERV.COM. Made Many Friends While Serving As Secretary To Governor Hyde. Was Most Congenial To All Visitors, Especially Colored. By John J. Reed. Special to The St. Louis Argus JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 8. A timely roll on and Governor Hyde urge the hardships that he has encountered since he has been at the helm of the State of Missouri it has been proven from time to time that he will come our all. K if the people of the state will only be patient and wait upon him to straighten out some matters that mean a great deal to the party. I am proud to say that our governor is a party man strictly. His last two appointments have been a great asset to the Republican party and I dare say that they have met the outlier apperence of the governor in the entire state. He appointed his former Secretary, Hon James Painter, as Secretary to the Public Service Commission. Mr Painter was connected with the Governor's office for some time as Private Secretary and his connection there was most congruent to all visiting. he is always a very cordial gentleman. He at all times found time to see that when you called to see the Governor, regardless of who asked the favor, ypm, would be granted the privilege of seeing the chief Executive in person. Mr Painter found delight in talking to all colored persons that came to the State Capitol. He has at all times made appointments for the Argus Editor when J. E. McKinney was governor. I must say a few words here for Mr. Brewer, whom the Governor appointed as Chief Counsel for the Public Service Commission. He is a high class gentleman and in fact a favorite around the capital. Governor keep up the good work and at the close of your term you will have nothing of which you can be ashamed. NEGRO STEAMSHIP CO. STARTS FIRST BOAT TO S. AMERICA WITH CARCO Vessel Purchased From U.

NATIONAL BAPTISTS DIES Helena, Arkansas Minister Had Served As Convention Leader For Twenty-Eight Years. Was Pastor Of One Church Forty-Six Years. Special to The Argus. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Sept. 5—Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena; convention of the National Baptist Convention, died at the home of his son, F. D. Morris in Little Rock, this morning. Funeral services will be held in Centennial Baptist Church, the church to which he was called to the pastorate in 1876, the same year he was ordained, and was served 43 years of his death without a break. This was the only church he pastored during his ministry. He was the recognized leader of the Negro Baptists of the world and was considered authority on matters pertaining to the race or denomination. Twenty-eight years ago he was elected president of the National Baptist Convention, one of the largest religious organizations of the world, and our dear sheer, and unique rendering 28 consecutive years at the head of that great convention, and perhaps would have been in the convention at the time of his death, had the meeting not been postponed on account of the strike. He was foremost in making arrangements with the Southern Baptist Convention for means to establish a National Baptist Theological Syminary for Negro Preachers throughout the world, and he has been a dedicated, but work has begun on this enterprise and will be carried to early completion. Dr. Morris was born in Murray County, Georgia. May 7, 1855 he was trained in the public schools of Alabama, and Roger Williams University, but most of his training was in the practical school of experience, for he was indeed a practical man. The State University, Louisville, Ky., Dr. W. J. Simmons, President, conferred on him the Degree of Doctor of Divinity, in 1852 and in 1802, hereafter the Degree Doctor of Philosophy, from the A. & M College, formal degree, was president of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention in 1853, and has been at the head of the Baptists of Arkansas ever since. Dr. Morris was devoted to his family. It was in 1854 that he was married to Miss Fannie E. Austin, of Fackler, Alabama. From this union, there were born four boys and five girls. There survive him, his widow, Ellas Austin Fred Doughes; 'Mattie E. Marques-sara Hope Proffitt; and John Spurgem COLORED REGIMENT GOES FOR DUTY IN GEORGIA COLORED REGIMENT GOES FOR DUTY IN GEORGIA Speculation Is Rife On The Move Of Regulars To Strengthhold Of The Ku Klux Klan. Special to the Argus NOGALES, Ariz. Sept. 6—According to news releases here the Twenty-fourth (Colored) Regiment of U. S. Infantry now stationed at Columbus New Mexico is ordered to Fort Benning, Ga. This news and the fact that the regimental strength is down to 513 men, some of whom it is rumored are to be transferred, lendgrave credence to the recent pumor that the colored regular regiments have been placed in a special troops of the Twenty-fourth's recently acquired target range record of 91.90 percent made this regiment the third of the three leading sharpshooting regiments in this Corps area. Far more startling is the fact that the two leading regiments are the 10th Calvary and the 25th Infantry, both colored. Probably for the first time in the history of the race colored people have began questioning motives back of the assignment of a colored military unit due to the high rate of the colored regiments, however, the recent rumors of labor assignment and the order of the 24th to Georgia home of the Ku Klux Klan have happened too close together to not be connected. BLOODY HUMAN HAND RECEIVED BY EDITOR OF NEW YORK MESSENGER Letter Signed "K. K. K." Written In Apparent Effort To Flighten Challenger Of Garveyism. NEW YORK. Sept. 6. A hand from the body of a white man and a letter of threats signed by the Ku Klux Klan threatening his murder was received by A. Phillip Randolph. Speeches is rife as to just where the hand came from or why it was sent. People who know Randolph and the Messenger, of which he is editor know him, the man he is, and those who have been interested in Randolph's attack on Garvey's KKK visit are smiling. The letter which it is reported that Mr. Randolph received began carmarks similar to a typewritten letter which was recently circulated through Harlem and purporting to have been written by the Klan. In Mr. Randolph's letter the able editor if querre to "keep away" "white men" business with women like his minister. The letter was marked New Orleans. Today setting general love it is probable that part of his submissions will take an active in invoking such powerful force when he is in the city. PROMINENT CITIZEN TO BE BURIED SUNDAY THE LATE CHAS.

BLIND BOONE ROBBED OF $2350 IN JEWELR' Noted Musician Is Victim Of Thieves Who Get Valuable Diamonds (Staff Correspondent) COLUMBIA, MO. SEpt. 6—One diamond ring valued at $2,000 and another which had a value of $350, were stolen some time last Tuesday from the home of J. W. (Blind) Boone. 10 North Fourth street. The rings were taken from a purse which was kept in the diningroom of the house, presumably by a prowler in search of money. Other articles of jewelry valued at about $100, which were in a different part of the house were overlooked by the thieves. Mr. Boone, who is nationally known as the pliant, this morning described the $200 ring as a four and one third carmine blue-white diamond, mounted in a heavy, pronged, platinum setting. According to Mr. Boone the stone has attracted a good deal of attention from the public during the thirty two years he has worn it. The other ring consisted of nine small diamonds mounted in a heavy gold filigree setting. Mrs. Boone was in the house all of Tuesday, excepting between eleven and twelve o'clock in the morning. It is probable that the earl entered the house during that time. Mr. Boone, in suggesting that the burglar was probably in search of money, said that no one excepting herself knew that the rings were kept in the purse from which they were stolen. Camp followers of the John Robinson circus were held as suspects in the case of the robbery of Mr. Boone and Miss Lucille Fisher who also is reported as having lost a F250 diamond ring on the same date. Miss Fisher, wearing a reported stolen from the case of his mother, Mrs. Annie Fisher of Seventh and Park.

Thou shalt soon turn back to alr? Or cakes of ice or feathery snow, Or sparkling dewdrums in the valley Have you seen any of the Camp Priscilla girls. Oh! child! seven of us in school! Tuesday and we talked nothing but Camp it's folks and its happenings. Mabel, didn't you have a fine time, I declare, I don't know what I did enjoy most. When swimming time came, I thought it the best, especially when I learned the over-hand strokes. Then how proud I was to know I could trump nine miles—shows endurance. Yet when we played games; baseball yip, Spooks, and even guessing games, I thought I was having the most fun. Some of them liked learning to fat, too. Some of them did do in the house and around camp-fires awfully clever, and I was surprised at myself performing so. The "F" boys, weren't they good? Then there was the singing. You know I loved those songs and they sounded real pretty sometimes. How did you like devotions? I was glad we studied the life of Christ and the Parables. Somehow Christianity seems now more livable to me. Too bad you missed the Sims Band Concert on their Sunday. The speakers every Sunday were good. Another thing, Mabel, which made camp life glorious was the friendship we made. We'll always remember that. So many girls I met and liked lots. I don't know what was best, unlike it was making friends. Camping was great, that's all despite the mosquitoes and the dishes. By the way, I sat in the "white" chair at one of the banquets. I never did feel so honored. Some of the older girls are going to have a "Y" club. Let's us have one! I must stop. Lessons to get. Say, I saw Mother, "Pope," and Aunt Priscilla at the "Y" Monday and they said there were nearly 200 campers in all and that the camp was quite a financial success. Next year, we'll stay longer, hear? Well, so long; Call me up. Your new pal, Margaret. BANNEKER EVENING SCHOOL. The Barneker evening school, at Lacus and Ewing Eaves, will open Tuesday evening, Sept. 12, at 7:30 o'clock.

Abram and Esther Mae McCleenny, young colored artists were favored musicians at the St. Louis Dispatch radio concert last Monday night, and the Post's Tuesday news item states that numerous telephone calls of appreciation were received following the concert. An interesting side light is furnished by that the Post-Dispatchatch although written in plain text, a light rendition of a difficult program by these young artists and giving high praise to their training and ability, did not once mention the fact that the musicians were colored. Mr. McCleenney, violinist and Miss McCleenney, pianist, have proven themselves musicians of rare ability. The question of the thousands who heard them through their radio concert is deserved. The local branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians is presenting Mr. Abram McCleenny in violin recital, assisted by local talent, at Poro College, Sept. 12.

Associated Negro- Press BOSTON, Mass. Sept. 6—Jewish organizations throughout Greater Boston retaliated counsel as a first step in what great promise of becoming a huge fight to combat the activities of a widespread "ring" of race haters whose work has resulted in anti-Semitic demonstrations in various communities. The latest incident in the alleged activities was the stoning of a Jewish synagogue in South Boston and the barring of a Jewess from a fashionable hotel in Winthrop, which it is charged, was the work of "high-brows." These incidents and a number of other local demonstrations during the last week of April involved persecutions aftermaths of the so-called Spanish utterances made at Harvard which attracted attention throughout the country. Harvard definitely repudiated any anti-Jewish policy in its matriculation program. Baltimore Conference Endorses Dr. A. L. Gaines For The A. M. E. Bishopic Associated Negro Press.

Have You the Courage? To meet failure and obstacles on every hand? To meet your enemies with love for hard work or good or good for others, steadily towards your goal with a serene mind when you know that others ridicule and consider you a failure? The opening of the Central Automobile and Tractor School of Pittsburg, Kan., is in full accord and keeping with the National Movement for the Advancement of the Colored People. This is indeed commendable and worthy of special mention. This great institution has been admitting colored men for about three years and their graduates have been so successful, that this coming year the students will be instructed only. The instructors are the best trained that can be found—both colored and more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars have been spent in building and equipment. This is the only school in the country anywhere where our colored men are getting a degree by being taught the things that they will be called upon to do as auto mechanics, electricians, auto salesmanship and expert drivers of cars. This school deserves the patronage of all our men and boys everywhere, especially those that are inclined toward automobile mechanics. Only those who really and truly expect to take that training should ask for their free catalog of inquiries are being made for information about the need to attend that school, be sure to mention where you read this article. Remember, the school and place. Central Automobile and Tractor School, Pittsburg, Kan.

PAGE FOUR JEFFERSON-MILES COMPANY AT BOOKER WASHINGTON IN MUSICAL COMEDY The Jefferson-Miles Company, at the Booker Washington Theatre this week has an excellent musical comedy show with talented performers. After the opening chorus, an ollo of specialties is staged, then follows a ripping good comedy. Raymond Jefferson and Company are first on program with a song and dance. J. H. and Katie Campbell have a donatest act which serves to introduce the couple in magical tricks. The girls have a song and dance number, "Ain't We Got Fun." Jefferson and John Niles have a black face act that is brimming full of good comedy, dancing and singing. Their singing is especially commendable. Jefferson and the girls appear in a niffy number, "Jaztown Strutting Sal." Mattie Spencer and Willie Eldridge have a humorous squabble on "Who Stole the Hog." They also present a number of lively melodies with dancing including, "My High Brown Baby Rose," a new one by Eldridge. -The show closes with a domestic comedy-drama by the company, based on the theme of a woman's unfaithfulness to her laboring husband. It is full of action and goes over big. The final assemble in "Back To Louisiana." The singing throughout the show is very good and the patrons are enjoying the one week stay of this aggregation of players. - BUTTER BEANS AND SUSIE AT BOOKER NEXT A AT BOOKER NEXT WEEK "Butterbeans," the eccentric comedian, and Susie, his talented assistant, will come to the Booker Washington Theatre next week with a new act in knockout comedy and song. Boots Hope, the rapid fire humorous prevaricator, will also be on the bill. Other acts will be Scott and Dowell, White and Foster. The show is going to be a winner. The patrons will receive their usual "Pay Day" envelope on Monday night. Dancing Tug Hartgraves is booked to appear at the Queens Theatre this Sunday. THE PICTURE THEATRES "Fools First" "Smiling Through" And "Ladies Must Live."—Criterion. The story of "Fools First," a First National attraction produced by Marshall Netland and which will be seen at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday, tells of the regeneration of a creek through the wields of the daughter of a master cook. She apparently gives him in his carefully planned crime, but really aids him in building up a legitimate and highly profitable business for the firm he originally intended to rob. The plot contains some ingenious twists, and is extremely absorbing. Norma Talmadge in "Smiling Through" will be the Sunday feature. Talmadge plays a dual role in a dramatic story of great heart interest. She is seen as the beautiful Mongeen, who is killed by a rejected suitor on her wedding day and as Katieleen, niece of Mongeen, who falls in love with the son of the man who caused the death of her aunt. Next Thursday the Criterion will present "Ladies Must Live," featuring Betty Compson. The story deals with the troubles of certain women who since ladies must live, plan to make that living as easily as possible. Little Devil At The Star, "The Woman Who Came Back," the Playwright feature at the show Theatre this Saturday is a filmization of Stephen McKenna's sensational novel, "Sonia." It is a vivid and romantic story of society life before and during the war, but is by no manner of means a war play. It contains nothing in the nature of battle scenes, but turns a searching light upon the depths of human nature, and shows how suffering and self-sacrifice can work miracles in reenactment. Herbert Rawlinson will be seen at the Star on Sunday in "The Black bag." The story concerns a young man, spending his vacation in New York who gets mixed up in the theft of a diamond necklace, through trying to aid a pretty girl he has been told his stolen it. The young man surprises a burglar in her home and to save the gems from the intruder, takes them to his own hotel room, whence they are stolen again. There is an exciting water race in which the hero gives clause in a fast motor boat to recover the necklace and brings back the real culprits, only to be arrested at the dock as one of them. On next Thursday and Friday, Jane Murray will be presented in "The Delicious Little Devil." It is a story of a girl of the slums who becomes a dancer in a fast cabaret solely on the strength of a lurid past of a famed Parisian dancer whom she impersonates. She is called upon to live up to this reputation, but succeeds in putting off the discovery of he fact that she is only playing a part, until the lover of the real Parasian drops in on the scene. She is rescued by a young chap who is madly in love with her. This role is played by Rodolph Valentino, who does excellent work in a very difficult, part. What happens when the Duke is about to expose her, unless she consents to accept his advances, makes this one of the most thrilling of all features. "Stardusi," "The Invisible Fear" And "Mamma's Affair" At The Jestamère. Hope Hampton will be presented in "Star Dust" at the Jestermaine Theatre this Sunday and Monday. Miss Hampton has the role of Lily Bocker, a native of a small town in the Middle West, whose longing to express herself in the world of music, meets only diversion at home. She is made the victim of a loveless marriage and soon, after leaves her brunch husband, bravely trying to carve out a career for herself unaided. The apparent hopelessness of the battle, her despair and attempt at suicide, which brings her in contact with a true friend, the death of her husband in a train wreck, her final success in the opera with a real love as the crowning triumph— Continued on Page 5 WALLACE REID THE DICTATOR" LILA LEE Thrills, fights, bandits, romance, love—and sweeping through them all the power of "The Dictator."

Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St.-Chicago, Ill. The biblical quotation, "Why do the heathens rage and the people imagine vain things" has been uppermost in our mind since we have noted the much ado in' the daily papers about a movement to bar the colored people, as picnickers, from O'Fallon Park. The petitioners have no ground for complaint against the colored peoples' use of the park, except race prejudice. The charge that jazz music furnished by Negro bands at late hours of the night is absolutely false. Seven o'clock in the evenings is the latest moment that these bands furnish music for picnickers in any of the parks. If "jazz" music was heard by any of the residents late at night, it must have been the echo of the musical instruments of the neighbors who are lovers of the jazz and buy it down town to entertain themselves. The Mayor, nor the Park Commissioner should give any heed to the protest of those people. It looks to us like the hidden hand of a political move, characteristic of the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. Like most of the devilty which is fostered in this country, this movement finds the weak spot through which to enter—race prejudice. The whole story reminds us of the wolf who muddies the stream, but insists that the lamb did it in order that he might have an excuse to slay the lamb. These people know full well that the conduct of the colored people in the parks is just as good as that of any other group, but they want to start something. We are informed that one J. H. Gundhlich advocated a race riot during one of his win-jaming speeches. We are not surprised at anything such a man as he would do. We know him of old. He is just the stripe of a fellow to foster race riots, but can never be found in the battle. He calls himself "too smart" for that. We challenge anyone of the complainants to show a single instance where th colored people have abused the park privileges. Unless such proof is forth coming, then the public should regard the whole thing as a cheap political scheme, hatched by some person, or persons, who have an ax to grind. After receiving a strong letter from a Negro voter of Mississippi last week setting forth the reasons why J. K. Vardaman should be defeated for the democratic nominee for United States Senate, we felt it our duty to give, prominence in its publication which we did with the hope that said article would have its influence in contributing to Vardaman's defeat. In order that the article might have its most far reaching effect upon the voters of the state, over a thousand extra copies were printed and distributed at vantage points in the state. That this had its "telling effect" on the voters is shown by the latest election returns, which shows that Vardamanism has been repudiated by the people of Mississippi. We are really glad to see this defeat. We have no regrets for the part we played in the matter. The "Negro oter" who contributed the facts upon which we acted is to be commended for his part. And last, but not least, the voters who after being made acquainted with the facts in the case, had man-hood and courage to go to the polls and vote their convictions. Call upon the Argus again ye people of Mississippi and we shall always be ready to help you. WOULD CHANGE NEGRO TROOPS After many rumors to that effect, a recent news article from New Mexico states that the Twenty-fourth Infantry is to be stationed at Fort Bennings, Georgia. Such a move will be looked upon with a deal of suspicion on the part of the colored people of this country because of the persistent rumors that the four colored regiments are, to be made labor battalions. Fort Bennings, as we are informed, is what is called a "Service School" for training of officers and men. These schools are supposed to be served by "service troops." There are three such schools in operation now: The Mounted Service School, Fort Riley, Kans., and Artillery School at Fort Sills, Okla. The Argus, here and now protest against any move on the part of this government to make labor battalions of the four best regiments of Soldiers in the Army just because their skins are black. The record of the black troops, in every conflict of the Nation is too honorable, to be sacrificed on the altar of race prejudice. We are loathe to believe that any such steps could possibly be considered by Uncle Sam. But knowing as we do, that to station Negro troops down in Georgia in time of peace, unless they are to act as servants to white troops is dangerous, one can't but look upon any move to send them there with grave suspicion. Texas is now suffering from an overdose of over indulgence in lawlessness. The Ku Klux Klan has that state just where it is trying to get all other states in the Union. The "awakening" of a class of citizens trying to wrest the power from the Ku Klux at this late hour we fear is futile. The time to stamp out an evil is while it is young. Wait until it is strong and it will almost destroy a government to get rid of it. The Klan is a lawless organization. It is opposed to the regular constituted authorities of the State and Nation. Therefore it is the duty of the several states to rise in the might of the government, and stamp out the lawless government which is fast taking hold by feeding on race and religious prejudices. A little cofed girl five years old was raped by a "white brute" in Louisville last week. After being arrested by the police and identified, much excitement prevailed in the City. But the strange things about the whole affair? Not a daily newspaper had a line concerning the outrage. Everyone knows what kind of "news" story which would have appeared in the dailies had it been a Negro charged with having attacked a white child. Some strange things are happening these days—for an instance, the O'Fallon Park Improvement Association (white) is protesting the discrimination against the Negroes in the use of the Public Parks of the City. Another lynching has occurred in Texas! Oh well, there are so many lynchings now-a-days that it has ceased to be "news."

Stripping our illusions of Lincoln may have some value for us, the honorable and capable gentlemen advocates of " Truth" in caps and quotation marks have been able to less endowed mortals these facts concerning the life of our ideal advocate of freedom but we are not possessed of sufficient experience, training nor insight to see the reason. Being just ordinary colored folks with the average human weaknesses, we have always tried to visualize our ideals by fixing some physical fact in our minds as symbolic of the ideal. In spite of some short time spent in research historical work, being wise and intelligent, we encountered defects in the character of Lincoln because he was the best physical symbol we could find in our reading for the ideal of emancipation. Maybe we have done wrong in idealizing Lincoln. If our learned leaders must find us at fault in this we do hope they will give us something else to idealize instead of the destroyed it fusion of Lincoln. Going to Africa If Mr. Garvey is not very careful some quiet, eastern business men or a religious faction 'at Los Angeles will steal his thunder. Bergsford Gale of Philadelphia is personally known to us as a business man who does things and be, with a group of other able business men, has bought a sea going ship which sailed August 25th enroute to Africa. The men who is likely to trip of the "Amir Man" There is no organization nor corporation scheme connected with it. The trip is simply an experimental one backed and controlled by a group of business men for business purposes. That these are colored business men is incidental to the fact that they are going about a commercial relationship with African coastal cities in the only feasible manner, i.e. by establishing a commercial foundation and profitable relationship may be built. The Los Angeles "Back to Africa" movement is a religious one which has survived one ludicrous failure. The Press If all of us would just get the habit of thinking, what a change there would soon be! The September "Crisis" has an article on the New York "Times" treatment of Negro News items which should prove illuminating to colored readers. (I'm not going to rewrite the Crisis article. Buy the magazine and read it for yourself and then use your own judgment.) Negro newspapers and magazines will either make or break the Negro in America. White newspapers as a rule, do not consider Negro items as news unless they have to do with crime or humor. The poor white southern men who till the white news should be paid well. He cared educated the American public to a belief in the Negroes funnymal of criminality until if a white publication should be included to treat Negro news items in fairness as a matter of policy that publication would be doomed. So news of our affairs is up to the Negro press—and the success or failure of the Negro press is up to the Negro public. Most people, I find feel that they have done their full duty, by the Negro newspaper when they have bought the paper. They never were so wrong.—they have not done even a third of their duty.' Newspapers live or die by their advertisement and the advertising support a newspaper gets is determined by its readers. If daily papers did not have bargain hunting readers none of them could maintain anything near the present Mandard of efficiency department store of pertinent articles and the daily newspapers because these ads are in turn read and followed up by a large number of the daily newspapers' readers. There's the crux of newspaper support When colored people who read their own newspaper learn to lay down the law to grocery, clothing, drug, shoe meat and other dealers and demands of these dealers that such dealers support the Negro newspapers with advertisement the Negro newspaper will assume an entirely new state of efficiency, its income will increase, short-turns to money getting will cease and the news of happenings amongst American Colonies will assume a far different tone and a different experience. Expert and experienced colored can be bired and newsgatherers can be paid until there will not be an occurrence of interest to Colored Americans anywhere in the world but what will be quickly learned and capably chronicled. Support of newspapers is support of the whole race and the whole nation. Without newspapers and magazines serving the public the masses of the world would still be in a state of vassalage. Until the Negro race builds up a news representation which will touch in the minds of the peoples of the world the truth about Negroes the whole race will continue to be chronicled as criminals or monkeys. Opinion This writer is warranted in expressing many ideal concerning questions between colored publishers and the public which an editor or owner of a paper would not find it good policy to express. This writer is one of the public's financial/interest in Negro newspapers in greater and less than just attaining the opinions are not bought and his interest are in no degree mercenary. That creates another line of thought St. Louis is unique as an American city in the number of Colored university men and women who live here. How many of these trained colored peo- le have more than a passing interest in Negro newspapers.

This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo W. Buckner BELLEFOUNTAINE AND THE The recent press reports of the mis-treatment of Negro inmates at Bellefontain Farms should be sufficiently interesting to cause the various organizations and individuals of St. Louis to request a searchin investigation into the affairs of this municipal institution. It has been related that one of the officers, in charge of cottage number six is neither qualified by training nor experience to handle delinquents. It will be recalled that on August 8th 14 colored boys escaped from cottage number six over which A. Heckel inmineers' eH was born in the rugged mountains of Kentucky and has Little or no experience. He has promoted to his present position from the Souland Police Station. His inhuman treatment of the boys was the direct cause of their determination to rid themselves of him. The fundamental purpose of this institution, as we understand, is to reduce and not foster juvenile delinquency. The boys are sent there because, having gone wrong it is hoped they may become normal again under the most pleasant, corrective influences. Redirecting these boys into the proper channels of citizenship is not an easy task. Such work calls for directors possessing a high degree of intelligence, a knowledge of the adolescent, sympathy for and understanding of the subnormal, and the keenness of appreciation of the racial psychology necessarily involved. It appears that the keeper of cottage number six possess none of the qualifications above mentioned. In addition, he knows nothing of the parents of these children under his care and direction. A thorough knowledge of the parental background in each case is absolutely necessary to a lucid diagnosis and comprehensive plan to rehabilitate the boy. And in order that each child may be given the proper individual attention the cottages are limited to a certain number. -Thus the "Father and Mother" in the respective cottages hold very important and responsible positions. It seems wholly unwarranted that the boys of one cottage should speak favorably of their attendant, while the boys of the other cottage speak so paragaming of their "Father." Something must be wrong! And the parents who watch about the unjust treatment of their children must be satisfied in some way by the municipal authorities. Justice demands this! The attendant in charge also deserves a fair and just consideration. If he is fully qualified to hold his job and is doing his work well then a special investigating committee July appointed, and composed publicly announce his firework. If he is performing his duties properly his services should be at once dispensed with. But the logical and most obvious thing to do as was pointed out editorially in this paper last week, is no appoint Negro attendants over Negro boys. Negro teachers teach them, why not a negro "Father and Mother" over each cottage? A competent Negro man and his wife can do more for these boys than a worker of any other color. And the right couple for each of the cottages can be found! It merely a question of getting those in authority away from their narrow, myopic views to the broad, farsighted possibilities of these unfortunate boys under the natural direction of their kind. We believe a Committee of representative citizens should call on those in authority and urge. First, a vigorous investigation into the affairs of Bellefountaine 'Yarms This will provide help to the colored and white inmates, like the recalled, that the Minnesota State Social Workers Conference in session last year specifically urged that trained workers be employed in all state and municipal social institutions. Second, that a Negro "Father and Mother" be placed in charge of each of the cottages at Bellefountane Farms occupied by Negro boys. ENTIRE CONGREGATION ARRESTED WHEN CHURCH TREASURER IS MURDERED Man Is Found With Head Crushed After Receiving $300 Of Baptist Church Funds Preston News Service BENATOBIA. Miss Sep 6—The entire congregation of the First Baptist church here was arrested last Thursday in an effort to learn the identity of the parties who murdered Andrew Johnson, church treasurer, whose body was found near his home late Wednesday. Three hundred dollars of the church funds had been turned over to him Tuesday night. As soon as the bank opened on Wednesday morning Johnsons deposited the money. Wednesday evening he went to the stable, which is some distance from his home, to feed his mule and never returned. Johnson's body was found on Thursday morning, his head was crushed and a bloody piece of plank found near the body. His pockets had been searched by the murderers in looking for the money. County officers express the belief that robbery was the motive for the crime, and report that many different pockets of both men and women were found in barn yard where Johnson was killed. His pockets had been turned inside out and 20 cents he was known to have had in his possession was missing. The arrest of the entire congregation was decided upon by the officers because of the fact that only members of the church were supposed to have had knowledge of the money delivered to Johnson. His stepsmen had also been arrested, but so far no proof of any consequence has developed against him.

The Rev Caston is the pastor of the Broadway Baptist Church of Columbia, Mo., where he has been for two years. This congregation, since Rev. Caston's pastorate, has been ranked as the foremost in the State outside of the cities, and but few congregations in the cities are doing as telling work. Columbians are rightly proud of their leader. They rewarded his untrifling by giving blim a trip to Los Angeles, a Baptist Convention and a town worship service the coast. The postponement of the National Baptist Convention afforded St. Louis its opportunity to again welcome Rev. Caston, who formerly was connected in many ways here. It is said by National and State leaders that Rev. Caston's program for church activities in Columbia is the most complete ever attempted by Negras Baptista in this country. He plans for $35,000 physical equipment to carry on community work. To meet him is to be affected by his magnetic personality. He has the carriage of a man of vision and one who knows what he is going to do, and yet is very modest in discussing his future plans. When an Argus reporter inquired about his opinion of church activities he was optimistic but non-committal. He, however, stated that St. Louisans will be proud of the great work done by Dr. Maxwell at the "Mother Church," and Dr. Moseley at Tabernacle. While in the city, Dr. Caston preached at the Tabernach to a capacity house. Several persons united with the church after the sermon, which moved everyone present. MARKS SAILS TO THE HAGUE WITH DEMAND, FOR COLONIES IN AFRICA Special Ambassador Of The U. N. L. A To League Of Nations Gets Ceremonial Farewell Associated Negro Press NEW YORK CITY, N. Y.

The knights of the association attired in full uniform, which included magnificent helmet and brilliant dress coats, and trousers literally covered with go djibra and lace, created a mild sensation when they appeared at the pier accompanied by fifteen Negro women. The ceremonies were completed with a flourish when, as the steamer pulled up, the guard of honor drew up in military formation and saluted their departing envoy with drawn swords.

JOHN MITCHELL JR., AND BANK CASHIER ARRESTED JOHN MITCHELL JR., AND BANK CASHIER ARRESTED Officials Of Mechanics Savings Bank. Associated Negro Press RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 6—John Mitchell, Jr. and his associate, Albert V. Norrell, president and cashier, respectively, of the Mechanics Saving Bank, are under arrest and their banking institution has been put into the hands of a receiver. This unexpired turn in the rather middled business of the Mechanics Bank has thrown the otherwise orderly run of things here among the colored people into a state of actual confinement and dismay. The arrests followed the discovery that she checked one for $10,000 and another for the sum of $10,000 had been cashed by the distinguished defendant for money that is declared belong to the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe, the women branch of the Pythian Order, Mitchell and Norrell were released later on ball. The warrants were sworn out by Dave E. Satterfield, Jr., Commonwealth 5, Attorney, and were issued by Wattier E. Gentry, justice of the peace. Justice Gentry also released the accused on bail. The arrests were made by Detectives Ford, Colwell, Haake and Eddington shortly after S 0'clock. Georgia A. Price, A. D. Price, Jr. R. C. Scott and L. C. Scott became surties for John Mitchell, Jr., each subscribing to $2,500, or one-fourth of the $10,000 bond required. The boardman for A. S Norrell, Jr., in the sum of $3,000 and for E. A. Norrell in the sum of $3,000. Horace Smith gave bond for Henry Wade, in the sum of $3,000. All will appear this morning in Police Court for preliminary hearing before Justice Ingram. On Monday afternoon Judge Moncura in Clairmont Court, appointed James Gordon and J. R. Tucker receivers for the bank and John Mitchell said he would give the $38,000 surety required for alleged liabilities. The Richmond Clearing House Association a few days later agreed to advance the amount necessary for reopening the account for the condition that substantial security be given. An effort was made last Wednesday by Mitchell to have the bank reopened and operated under the banking division supervision but this was opposed by the receivers and Judge Moncura refused the request. In their report the receivers disclosed in detail what they found in relation to the accounts of the Grand Lodge of Virginia Knights of Pythias of which president of the bank is grand chancellor; of which the cashier is grand keeper of records and seal; and of which R. E. Jefferson is grand master of the treasurer. The report goes on to state that the beller of the examiners that the president of John Mitchell, and the cashier, Albert V. Norrell Jr. have handled the accounts of the said grand lodge and the Order of Calanthe in an unlawful manner and that it is their belief the bank directors have been grossly negligent in not detecting and correcting the alleged misuse of those in active management of the institution. The receivers further state that on the basis of a partial audit as completed the bank have more than $100,000 to meet the claims of the treasurer and depositors. It is said that an investigation October grand jury is likely to be asked for. Mitchell and Norrell have entered a general denial that there was any intention to C. fraud the bank. The Mechanics' Saving Bank is located at 214 East Clay Street, and was closed by State Bank Examiner F. B. Richardson on order of the State Corporation Commission on the afternoon of Saturday, July-15. AFRICAN HERO DIES A MARTYR TO THE CAUSE OF HUMAN PROGRESS Chief Allowed Himself To Be Used For Experiments. Sir Loyalty. LONDON, England, Sept. 6 - A inlet is to be placed in the ward of a London hospital where an African hero, Chief Mandombi, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the germ which causes the dreaded sleeping sickness. Attacked by sleeping sickness in the Congo in 1890, Mandombi suggested to the English missionary that he be sent to England and experimented upon it, that some effective cure might be found for disease. Four months specimens of Mandombi's blood were taken every four hours until last the germ was identified. The strain has been too much, however, and Mandombi died as truly a martyr to the cause of human progress as any of those who have their lives that their fellows might have an increased chance for health and happiness. It is well that the memory which men should be perpetuated and that their names should be known, for they have contributed to human advancement and dearest thing given to them and when they give up their lives they come as near the divine as ever a man does. Priston News Service FROSTYH, Ga., Sept. 6—In his chair to the grand jury Judge William E. Williams declared, that the recent lynching in county county, near Holton of John Glover, angered the right and power of the state. “There has been committed in your county a most atrocious murder” the judge said. “A person has been murdered, all the rules of law had forfeited to live but had not forfeited his right to trial.

Tourists Convey Idea That Negro Is Ignorant, Criminal, Vicious And A Rapiest Ever Ready To Criminally Assault. NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (Special) "Wherever a certain class of American tourist go in Europe they continually and industriously endeavor to convince Europeans that the Negro in the United States is ignorant, criminal, vicious and above all a rapist, ever ready to criminally assault white women and restrained only by sheer brute force in the form of lynching," was the statement made by Arthur T. Long, principal of a large public school in Indianapolis, which has just revered over spending two and two months in France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland according to announcement by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "They never will tell deet, self-respecting, progressive colored people." Mr. Long continued, "the best that they ever say is usually some story about a 'good darky' or a 'coon.' Unfortunately, this work has been carried on so extensively that it is being felt in countries where it was years ago. The majority of racial justice. Americans, spending lavishly, are naturally catered to by French, German and other merchants and busi-ness men. Thus economic pressure is making people free. from prejudice bow to American racial bitterness." "On the other hand there seems to me to be considerable knowledge in Europe of the facts about the race problem in America. Largely due to the attempt of America to assume the moral leadership of the world as well as the financial masters, Europeans consider the race question in America and the burning alive of human beings to be the acid test of the genuineness of American moral ideals. Europe wants to know the real facts about the race problem in America, and it is to be regretted that there seems to be no adequate means at present of getting the real truth before Europe." "All Americans who go to Europe can be divided, with only a few exceptions into two classes. One of these is that group I have already spoken of—of those who deliberately spread lies about the Negro. The other class is composed of those who say nothing about the problem. Very few white children take the time or tell the truth, even if they know it. It is a sad but true fact that in all the time I was in Europe, the only really good thing said about the Negro were said by Frenchmen and Englishmen." Mr. Long was asked about the truth of the charges made in the United States Senate on August 31 by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska that French colored troops were committing excesses on German women in the occupied zones. He replied, "I was in Germany two weeks and during that time, though I was at Mayence where French troops are quartered, as well as at Colonge where the British troops are stationed and at Colenz where the American forces are. I never heard one word of any such charges. It does seem to me that if there had been the 'slightest grounds for such charges I would have at least have been an linking of it. The real reason is understand. The Germans naturally want the occupation forces removed. There are enough to know that America's blind spot is her race prejudice, and that an appeal to that race prejudice is the most potent argument they can make to Americans, especially when that appeal is made to the tune of a charge that black men are raping white women." "Perhaps one of the most interesting things I observed," Mr. Long continued, "was the fact that Americans as soon as the ship left American soil seem to feel that the ban of color was lifted and restrictions were removed. People who would not think of treating color so decently in America for fear of color scorn, actually became friendly and made like human beings. My conclusion is that the atmosphere of America is conductive to race-hatred and Negro baiting—that the so-called race prejudice is not inherent at all but is artificially created and maintained as a sort of fetish in the United States." Mt. Long covered a great deal of territory while abroad and tells most interestingly the story of his experiences. ALTON, ILL Sunday-September 10.

Hisides and methods are being attacked by a number of leading Negro publishers, while a large number of Negro writers are flipping away, harassing and comparing himself with disseminating his possibilities and feasibility of Mr. Garvey's plans. In this connection "The Outlook," one of America's foremost white weekly magazines, edited by Abbott family, has the following editorial comment in issue of August 20th: "Garveyism" "In the present circumstances of 'Rt Hon.' Marcus Garvey—the Negro Moses' and 'Provincial President' of the Republic of Africa—Mr. O'Neill might find material for a play as gripping, almost, as the Emperor Jones- "Uptown, at Liberty Hall in Harlem New York City, Garvey draws roles of green, crimson and black to preside over his third world congress of Negroes, grants titles of nobility, and divides up Africa into khakis, Downtown, meanwhile, officials of the United States Department of Justice are preparing for his trial, which he hopes to win of his fortunes that have overtaken his steam ship corporation, the Black Star line whereby the $600,000 invested by hard working Negroes vanished into this air. "In his schemes his black Star Line was vital." For years, now, he has told his followers that only by supporting the merchant marine and linking together the fragments of scattered Ethiopia could they hope to liberate Africa, unite it, civilize it, develop it, arm it and make it a black Zion of refuge and at the same time a defender of black men everywhere. In variably his speeches, as well as the state documents issued through his newspapers, "The Negro World," bet up to "And now a word about the Black Star Line, we must have ships more and larger ships." "Dr. W. E. B. Tullos has gone on record as declaring his belief in the man's honesty, though he long ago foretold the consequences of slipshod business methods. Judge Panken, lecturing Garvey in the seventh District Court said, it seems to me that you have been preying upon the gullibility of your own people, having kept in proper accounts of the money received for investment, but added, "Does a form of paranoia which is self it self in believing to be a great man? The friends of Negro Freedom, how fiercely charitable. Their poster headed, 'Marcus Garvey Must Go!' invites 'men and women' white and colored foreign and native' to Shuffle Inn where anti-Garveyism challenges Marcus, (and the police), every Sunday afternoon. "According to Garvey's figures Garveyism the world over has 1,5,000 adherents. According to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Belgian Consul has been inquiring about Garvey up pops of unrest in certain Belgian colonies. This has led the Association to call up the French Consul who according to secreta attributed unrest in certain colonies to the same cause. According to Garvey's own published statement, his newspaper has been excluded from certain British colony. A page of that paper, is printed in Spanish. To reach Spanish speaking America? Perhaps only to reach the now fairly numerous Spanish speaking Negroes in Harlem, where a branch of the New York Public Library maintains a Spanish department that relates to Garvey and Garveying one expects exaggerations. Not long ago an American statistician re-created the Provisional President's figures in the light of his finances and concluded that, at most, his followers number 90,000."

Associated Negro Press TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 6—In an interview of William M. Dickens, the noted orator, here last week, Mr. Dickens had the following to say of Mursel Garvey, pending suit for libel damages received him: "Nobody cares what Mursel sues for he has not been labeled. It would be difficult to libel him. "He has such big imagination about money that it ought to have occurred to him to sue for 750 millions instead of 750 millions, merely. He has as good chance of getting seven cents as he has to found an "empire" in Africa. Garvey is at the head of the biggest humbim poor, and ignorant block Americans ever suffered from, and he is going to be exposed and repudiated. It matters not how much he treats and sues, or frusts about it.

Last fall Mr. Chapelle returned to the United States and reported the possibilities of doing a tremendous business if sufficient capital was available. He secured American markets for the products of Gold Coast. It is claimed that large manufacturing corporations in this country, wanted to know if Mr. Chapelle could supply the materials he claimed. When Mr. Chapelle and several American, Negroes sailed for Africa last May, two white men representing big interests in this country, joined the other Mr. Chapelle, Moftgomery Ward Company of Chicago and the other Mr. J. W. Crow, of a large brokerage firm of that city. Mr. Crow was asked to report in partly on what he found, and the prospects of what the African Union Company might be able to do in Africa. Here is his first letter to Dr. J. E. Ranks, Ambridge Pa., of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Dear Mr. Banks: I promised to write you from Africa also to supply you with something, in the way of a casual report, soon as possible after we arrived. We were delayed over a month in Liverpool, therefore, have been here only since July 11th. Therefore, we have circulated around but—very slightly every one's time seeming to be required in organizing the Secondary office and activities. However we have accumulated a very great deal and have learned enough to convince us that Mr. Chappell did an excellent job in organizing and that we have not only verified all representations he did make, and beyond any per adventure, but have become very convinced that it is most wonderful country in its wealth and native resources in the face of the globe. Raring none.

For all minerals, gold, silver, manganese timber, palm oil and other products on 1000 square miles of territory. Primary contracts for which these are accepted of itself is an basis for the entire African Union capitalization. Not to mention 26 other chiefs who have granted similar concessions. The African Union Company will soon control over half the entire Gold Coast territory, as to all timber, mineral and other products; since the chiefs who have not been in to see Mr. Chappelle have sent word they were coming. These concessions are for 30 years and are absolutely priceless. The chiefs take any representation Chappelle to handle multiply some by two and still have a margin left for conservation.

TO BE HELD-AT NASHVILLE FIRST WEEK IN OCTOBER NAHIVILLE, Teen, Sept. 7—As a sign that the inter-racial relations between the races in the South is assuming a more than gonial aspect, the proposed conference to be held in this city during the first week, of October under the auspices of the Board of Temperance. Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church to determine the relation and Eighteenth Amendment, is being looked forward to with more than a considerable interest by the Nashville public at large. The call for the conference is signaled by Bishop William F. McDowell, president of the Board; Dr. Charence True Wilson, Secretary and by Dr. J. N. C. Coggin, Promoter and Director. The conference is to be welcomed by the Governor of the State, and the city the Chamber of Commerce, W. W. M. and the University's Alliance and the Business and Educational institutions of Nashville Membership in the Conference consist of: (1) One thousand outstanding Negro leaders from widely separated sections of the country. (2) Representatives of Prohibition, Social Welfare and Reform Organizations. (3) The delegates are to be representatives of their respective organizations. They must be furnished with credentials by their own appointing bodies. One of the outstanding features of the proposed conference is the induction given it by many of the national organizations of the colored people. The International Conference of the Masonic Fraternity, The National Negro Business League, The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, The National Negro Medical Association, and more than eighteen Church denominations, and Reform agencies have signified their intentions to send delegates to the conference. The sessions of the conference will be held in the big hall of the Ryman Auditorium at Fifth near Broad St. They will continue from the 3rd to the 6th of October. A number of the colored white will be a charge of the arrangements and look after the comfort of the large number of delegates and visitors expected to be in attendance. Dr. Coggin deserves a world of praise for the success which has attended his efforts to make the conference a big feature of the Negro's desire to assume a leading part in all forward and upift movements that are challenging the nation and active servicing of the best social forces in the entire nation. It is one of the first instances when the Negro has taken the initiative in any of the general reform movements. Dr. Coggin is the central figure in this present instance and as such he has attracted the favorable consideration of the entire force of the Methodist Episcopal Church with him in the organization of this inter-racial conference in the very heart of the South. Dr. Coggin while modest to the highest degree, is not wholly unknown to praiseworthy faine. He has been a first figure in the work of his church among the colored people for the past fifteen years." His character has withstood the closest scrutiny. He enjoys an enviable reputation for the possession of a sterling and high grade abilities. He is absorbingly progressive, and he is able to absorb and put into practice the truer principles of the American civilization." Hence, he is always to be found in the front ranks of all the more significant reform movements of the times. That he has been able to secure the active participation of all the more important national organizations in the conference can be safety taken as a test of his testimony as an esteem who is held in every section of the country: His unselfish devotion to duty, his modesty, his unfaltering belief in the capacity of his race all combine with the knowledge of his fine moral qualities to endear him to all who possess the good forge, and to equip him where资格 is equivalent with a great heart. It is being freely predicted here that the conference will mark an epoch in the progress of the race throughout the Southland.

LANE TABERNACLE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Sunday School teachers and superintendent are all working hard to close out a successful year's work. The attendance last Sunday was 275. Sunday School continues to open at 9:15 a.m. A sensational victory by the Young Men's Bible Class last Sunday morning stopped the Morning Star Class in their determination to win both banners every Sunday. The Stars and the young men divided, taking a banner each. After winning the financial banner four straight Sundays, the Stars helped themselves to the monthly cash prize the last Sunday in August. No class has a chance to win the prize this month save the young men. The Stars expect to stop them before the fourth Sunday however. The Morning Star class has chalked up 15 gold stars this quarter. The New Progressive, another adult class has rolled up only two stars, the young men's Bible, one star. The victory for the young men last Sunday reflected the manner in which they took an article published in the Monthly Mirror criticising their laxity. Miss Cecille Oliver, Sunday School secretary, has returned to Chicago. R. M. R. Murphy, church treasurer drove through to Chicago and returned with Mrs. Murphy who had gone on before. They reported a pleasant journey with no mishaps. Messrs E. Richardson Richard Weed on, and Fred Tidwell, were some of the new faces seen in Sunday School last Sunday. They Joined the Morning Star.

SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Bible Trust Copyright 1921. Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 10 TEACHING THE LAW OF GOD LESSON TEXT—Neb. 4:1-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Teach me, O Lord, thus of the thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end—Ps. 119:33. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Deut. 6:4-9. Acts 17:1-10; 10:15; Col. 19:11. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Joy of Learning God's Word. JUNIOR TOPIC—How a Whole City Heard God's Word. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Power of the Word of God. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Community Bible Study. It will be of interest and profit to present this lesson as an ideal Sunday school class: 1. A Model Bible Class (vv. 16). 1. The Eager Agent (v. 1). The people gathered themselves together and "spake unto Ezra to bring the book of the Law." It was not a matter of the teacher urging the class to come together, but the class with yearning hearts requesting the teacher to come with God's Word. 2. The Representative Assembly (v. 2). The class was made up of men, women and children. The men then did not leave the church-going to the women. Neither were the children left at home with nurses or to play on the streets. God's Word should be taught to all classes, men, women and children. 3. An Appreciative Assembly (v. 3). Their ears were attentive from morning to midday. So eager, were they to know God's Word that they did not get tired, although the lesson lasted for five or six hours. There was no pulling of watches in that class. 4. Due Reverence Shown God's Word (vv. 4, 5). When Ezra opened the Law all the people stood up. This they did out of respect for the holy book. The reason there is not proper reverence for the Bible is that people are not taught to believe it is God's Word. Reverence in the house of God will only be when the Bible is regarded as God's very words. 5. They Joined Heartily in the Prayer (v. 6). As Ezra led them in prayer the people joined heartily in saying "Amen! Amen!" bowing their faces to the ground. 6. A Model Bible Teacher (vv. 7, 8). 1. He Stood Up Where the People Could See Him (v. 5). The position and bearing of the teacher has much to do with the attention and interest of the class. 2. He Read Distinctly (v. 8). Teachers should take particular heed to this. Much Bible reading is greatly to the discredit of the Word and the reader. 3. Caused the People to Understand the Reading (v. 8). The supreme business of the teacher is to make the Word of God so plain that all, old and young, can understand. III. The Impressions Made (vv. 9-18). The effect of teaching God's Word is most important. In this case it was very encouraging. 1. Conviction of Sin (v.9). The Word of God being conviction of sin (Acts 2:37). It is quick and powerful (Heb. 4:12). The way to get conviction of sin is by teaching the Word of God, not by appealing to the emotions by telling death-bed stories. The people had real cause for sorrow—they were far from God. They not only had be come worldly and the rich were in their greed oppressing the poor, but they were perplexed through their mixed marriages. 2. Weeping Turned Into Joy. (vv. 10:12). When sins have been perceived and confessed God would not have His children to be sad. Continued mourning will not atone for the sins that are past. It unifies one for present tasks and dishonors a pardoning God. Besides, joy has a salutary effect upon one's entire being. 3. Sharee? Their Blessings With Others (vv. 14:22). Christianity is not having a good time alone; it is sharing our prosperity with others. True joy manifests itself in giving to others. Pure religion goes out to minister to the poor (das. 1:27). 4. The People Obeyed (vv. 13:18). In their acquaintance with the Scriptures they found that the Feast of Tabernacles had been long neglected. As soon as they understood the Scriptures they went forth to do as they had been told. They went to work and kept this sacred feast in a way that it had not been kept since the days of Johna (v. 17). If the Scriptures were read and made plain many things could be found which have not been compiled with. In the keeping of this feast they dwelt in booths, thus typlifying their pilgrim character and bringing to their remembrance the days of their wilderness journey. The Eyes of Others.

After the "Black Star Line" has it wasted over half a million dollars acknowledged, and God knows how much more unknowledged. Garvey proposes to use this failure as a good excuse to call on the visible citizen of his invisible republic for more money—We have failed—therefore we have all the greater need for more of your money. Come on across! This puts a premium on failure, so that he can only succeed in failing a second time he will need still more money. And so on, to the end of your pocket book. This is the financial genius of an imaginary "Republic of Africa" with its paper existence, its dukes and dupes and its ignoble nobles. Did you ever see such nerve? They have all the successes and gotten all the money possessed in that way—and now they propose to collect money on plain failures. According to figures published in the newspapers, Garvey draws $10,000 a year for being president of this failure and $11,000 a year for being president of an imaginary government in Africa. There's one born every minute—and rapid birthrate, we give it to Garvey. THE IMPORTANCE OF LIES By William Pickens Associated Negro Press Poor Marcus Garvey! He is unable to defend his humbuggy and attempt at wholesale betrayal, and so he has simply fallen into lies by the wholesale. We are talking to him about Black Star thevery, African Redemption Fund, and was and robbed by wholesale, and he goes into lying about people wishing to get 'jobs' with his concern. Anybody will easily see through this species of lying. Almost any honorable man, and any scoundrel whatsoever, should have gotten a job under Garvey for the mere willingness to take it. We once believed that Garvey was honest and misled and badly advised, as he cunningly claimed to us. We have from his office under his own Presidential signature a whole string of letters to Garvey, and weude us to become one of the 'biggest' leaders of his humbuggy. The fastest of these letters is only about three months old. He was ready for us right up to the time when he offered us a Knighthood or a Dukeshop—when our patience broke. We had made our mind long since that his schemes were for money and, that honest co-operation with them be impossible, but we gave him every benefit of the double and were patient with his appeals as long as it seemed honest to have patience. Then for the sake of getting rid of irritation, black folks in the South he made his torious advances to the Ku Klux. In dense Jim Crow Cars, and fell fint on his black belly, our patience exploited and we felt as if we must regard our self as a traitor to those who believe in us, even if we kept silent. We are on his trail, and he can how and lie as much as he likes. We stay on his trail, and he will not escape the repudiation which he so richly Once I tried to interest a Colored editor in an exchange of news with foreign papers, both white and Colored. I thought the news exchanged would influence world opinion in favor of oppressed peoples, and would be of direct value to the editor because of the interest it would arouse in readers. "I don't agree," he said. "Our question is an American question. It must be settled here. As for news value readers want home news. I couldn't give space to foreign affairs." Let in the next issue of his paper he commented that the American paper was spreading anti-Negro propaganda in its Paris edition. If anti-Negro propaganda in Europe is important why is it not important to oppose it in Europe? The same issue of this editor's paper contained a protest against Uncle Sam's Haitian policy, in which was the statement that "this country is the moral leader of the world;" also an indignant editorial about the "unspeakable Turk" in Armenia. In other words, this editor was published the white American's pet. He about the jeffries his conquest of other races. Bruthe's lies about Near Eastern questions Of course, the Turk is cruel in a conquered land. So is the Armenian. So is the Greek. So are the Americans in the Philippines, the British in India, the French in Syria, the Spanish in Morocco; so gans a Colored mob that caught me along a few years ago in Chicago. The Turk is just about as cruel as others; and this talk about the terrible Turk murdering the innocent harmless Christians is propaganda centuries old. kept up for political parity in the United States, the world a great deal since a British politician, out of office a century ago used to discredit the pro-Turkish policy of his opponents and restore himself to power. In other words, this Colored editor is repeating the old campaign dope of a dead British politician, because he has read it in American newspapers. Who knows how many white and black and yellow foreigners, with no personal knowledge of America, believe that the Colored man is lazy, ignorant, impatient so in the news service they go from white America? "This is an American question." Yes it was once a Southern question, and would be one now if "Uncle Sam's Cabin" and other literature and books read only in the South. It is in pursuit to protect against flooding. thing to the outside world or let the outside world say, anything to him, reminds me of the woman who, beaten daily by her husband refuses to say anything on the ground that "it's a family question. Read your history, Mr. Editor, and see the effect of European opinion in shaming Americans into abolition of slavery. And for as your readers not being interested in the outside world I asked them to be Colored, pled and blind because of certain foreign happenings, and others are dead in a foreign country; and I believe, if you tried very hard, you might interest some of your readers in matter which bring them blindness, and suffer, and death. When Black Mee's White When Black Mee's White Chapter IX 23rd Installment Characteristic Contributions Rx John L. Hill Associated Negro Press Associated Negro Press Most white people have regarded the Negro's position relative to society as altogether receptive. They think that if he has kept within hailing distance of progressive civilization it is because the Negro has been forced to his progress, smoothing the road for his advancement. While in a measure this is true, on the other hand The Negro has made distinctive an characteristic contributions to American thought and life, without which the Nation would be minus much that lends peculiar attractiveness. The first great contribution of the Negro in America, after his physical liberation, while not "distinctive" in the sense of other contributions, yet to be mentioned, was his material "reconstruction" of the South. To a very large degree after the ruin wrought in the South by the Civil War, it was reconstructed by Negro labor. It was many years later that freed Negroes physically when their economic emancipation really began. While manual labor will always be essential to life and progress, it was more necessary in the post-war days before the invention of so many labor saving devices, than it is now. Unacustomed to physical toil as were so many of the white men of the South at that time, and in the entire absence of "foreign" labor, not only did the black men of the South employ the main tenance of the life of the South depended upon the manual labor of the enunciated Negroes. · Of course we should not forget that Negroes themselves had to "live and that for the time at least, it was necessary for them to live in the South. But, for a long time they did not "live"—they merely existed, most of them with less physical comfort than they had previously "enjoyed" in slavery. Without any determined or asserted on the part of white people to exploit Negroes, they never,theless, exploited them. There were two reasons for this: First, immediately after the war, the white people had little or nothing with which to pay Negroes for their labor. With both whites and blacks, for the time, it was a question of existence. 2nd. Negroes as a class without any previous economic training suddenly set free were entirely helpless. They had to accept the situation and make the most of it. Time and experience were necessary for Negroes to be ambitious to individual, and racial ambition. Certainly there were brilliant noble exceptions, but such was the general rule. Economically therefore, white people of the South were better off than they would have been, had the war terminated as it did, without liberating the slaves. At it turned out the labor of free Negroes were less expensive than would have been the upkeep of continued slavery. Ignorantly, patiently Negroes worked on and rebuilt the South. It is not that Negroes were poor when with their hands in the reconstruction of the South. Many of them labored from choice and many worked from necessity. But the contention is that without "cheap" Negro labor the South never could have come back as it did. Discerning Southerners recognize this fact and give full credit to the Negroes for the great contribution they made to the Nation in making possible the swift rebuilding of that devastated but beautiful section of our country. And to their eternal credit, as the war ended, to the many individuals and the race as a whole despite the inevitable disadvantages, made marked economic, educational, and religious progress as had already been set forth in these pages. Despite his social ostracism, and the contemptuous attitude of 'other races with regard to his ability to do unusual things, the Negro has made eminently distinctive contributions to the thought and life of this nation. He has been a major force in the development of our nationalism, such as no other race can claim, more distinctive than the color of his skin. In fact all that is distinctive in American music and American literature has been produced by Negroes or by white people distinctively inspired by the characteristic thought and life of Negroes. Every American music and American attitude is of forbidden genre and color. That which is originally and beautifully American come from the colored race.

Eastern Baseball Fans Not Satisfied With Policy Of Pres. A. Rube Foster Say Chicago Man Has The Big Head Wants To Have Own Way About Important Matters Easterers Would Welcome A Change By the Associated Negro Press NEW YORK CITY. N. Sept. 6 Although Rusty Foster's Chicago team holds a reasonably comfortable lead in the national race the Kansas City Monarchs are coming from behind in Barchambees are coming from behind in Barchambees are a period that there is real danger and thereby lose this year's championship. At least that is the way the situation sizes up to the thinking of the wise- acres in this section of the country. The crucial test will come to the Chicago boys in the impending series with the Monarchs in the latter's own home town. If Fosters lose four, more Monarchs register four more wing the "hill" as far as the Missouri boys are concerned. This of course takes only into account the western situation. Our Archavards are not out of the race by any means. They got the losing end of a mighty close series of contests in the "Windy" recently it is true. But all teams meet in the same game. And this is just where the show pinch in the case of the present leaders. They made a slow start and they came forward with a characteristic "Foster" rush and assigned the lead. It is a splendid aggregation of sea-going athletes, beyond all question. But, real and human, all after all is said and done and are subject to the same fallings of all the rest, of the family. We are not sure that our boys will come out in the season's bad, but we cannot forget that they got the worst of the breaka in the Chicago series and in one instance forced the hedera to the guelling of a twenty trading contest before the winner was finally declared. But the chief thing to be considered this year is what is the best good for the game among the colored elements of its supporters. Chicago has had the edge for several years. "This would not mean so much," said a motif of 'bower of the sport recently who does not desire the mention of his name to be made," but 'earl, old Rabe Foster purposefully said. "A bare 'beginning to call the 'big head,' as a con sequence seems to evince a threat to have his way about important matters whether others have a good opinion of his ideas of management and policy or not. No one wants to take from him the credit for being one of the prime factors in what success has come in recent years to the colored end of baseball. But he doesn't possess all of the baseball brains in the country and he should wake up, to that fact and think something about the matters. Outside of that failing he is likely to call a real good: fellow himself. Let us get together for the good of all, is the way I figure it out." Our team finishes the season's races on its home grounds. This ought to give us a fighting chance to move out to the lead.

THE FICKLENESS OF THE WHITE SPORT WRITERS Y. A. D. Williams, for N. S. W. A. Leading up to the battle between Tut Jackson and Harry Wills last week, the sport writers of the white dallies were told in their praise of Tut. They would have the readers be believe that Sir Tut was a world bater. Verily, they touched brother Tut to the highest pinnacle of music efficiency. He was a giant, a superman. He had was of forty husky mit welders. He was the master, the harder the better he liked them. He had He packed a sleeping potion in both trusty paws so they would have us believe. He had all kinds of chances so they said. All he had to do was to stand up and swap punches with Sir Will and the battle was won. Tut had everything they averted. The morning after the night before; the morning after Tut recovered from his band trip which had been forced. Wills was Tut's night before in the Third. Fifteen round affair, the white sport scribes began to sing the blues. Wills deserves a chance at the championship and if the fans pay the fee, upon it he will get that change respectfully. White white sport writers say to the contrary. FIGHT. MUST BE. STAGED By Preston News Service And, invittable as the coming of another championi­ music match, Wills and Dempsey WILL match where, how soon, no on, just now, is in position to tell. But Wills two recent victories, while they can hardly be called sensational, have certainly knocked all competition away. The public has been clamoring for Wills to show his class. He has done this in the main way. White-heavies would not meet him, so he took the only colored men in his class who showed that they had any records, and disposed of them yes, disposed of them so easily, in the aftermath is rather amusing from a mpr reader's point of view. This Hueve Dempsey with only one course to pursue. Either he will have to agree to meet Wills—and soon, for the "American public, whatever else might be said of it, really wants the beat—or step down, and give his title to someone who will fight. It is needless for him to travel all over the country, coming to quash set-ups like the fat, and the stupid Make. Bill Bredon, or the rapidly growing hunk, Jesill Ward. Moving comedians will not stand for it—the gruselation of the Labor Day attraction tracing shown as much. About the Investigation Chairman Mulldon says that he'll have to investigate the record of the Ohio youth. No one discredits that statement. But Mr. Mulldon must remember that it was white dallies play, with his enormous reach of 56 and ode half inches, his royal height. And his wonderful weight. Those papers were the ones that literally shoved Mulldon into a fight with Willis. True, the accounts might have been exaggerated. But did any commission investigate the facts when Carpenters bouldered a large boulder to meet the cloak in 200-pound Dennyspy No, not one. And a fight in the heavyweight class must battle at each weight. They say that "That" was a "mystery," but claim that the defeated youth was slain.
