MO. G. O. P. INDORSES THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XI NO. 22 CLARK AGAIN WINS OVER H. C. M'CHESNEY Colored Man Is Victorious In Third Effort By The Defeated Candidate To Gain Office Of Justice Of Peace In Fourth District. --- Unless some unforeseen events takes place, Crittenden E. Clark will be one of the regular nominees for Justice of the Peace of the Fourth District on the Republican Ticket in November. The Board of the Election Commissioners ruled in Clark's favor West, when McChesney sought by a lawsuit to keep Clark's name off the ballot and to appeal the decision instead. McChesney was defeated for the nomination for Justice of the Peace in the primary last August and since that time he has sought some way to supplant Clark who was nominated. The first step taken by McChesney was a demand for a recount of the ballots. In the recount Clark gained over a hundred votes. So now McChesney has called upon the courts to do for him, that which the voters refused to do. It is said by those well informed and versed in law, that McChesney has no case, but is merely "dying hard," after a defeat and if Clark's name has no right on the ballot that wouldn't help McChesney because the vote of the people defeated him. It is rumored that an appeal will be taken by McChesney to the Supreme Court. He told of the rumor, Mr. Clark said that he had no object in any steps which McChesney might take "of course," he said, "it is quite expensive to me, but I have won the nomination and intend to defend my rights regardless of cost.

VETERAN EDITOR DIES John Quincy Adams, Editor Of The St. Paul Appeal Is Victim Of Auto Accident. The news of the death of John Quincy Adams, editor of the Appeal, St. Paul, Minn., comes as a shock as well as a surprise to his many friends. According to reports, Mr. Adams came to his death on account of being struck by an auto-robble as he was returning from church Sunday afternoon. After the accident, he remained conscious, having suffered a fractured spine, broken arm and internal injuries.

Louis Argus Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1922 PARKS ARE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE DECLARES KIEL Mayor Says Separate Parks Are Unconstitutional And Does Not Admit Of Argument. No Discrimination Can Be Made. There is no contemplated action on the part of the city administration at building a park for colored people as has been agitated by the so-called O'Fallon Park Protection Association according to a statement of Mayor Kiel a few days ago. Then he is on attitude on the park question by a representative of the Argus, the mayor said; "There is no color question to it so far as I am concerned. The parks are made for all the people. "Since this agitation I have given the matter of distributing some consideration, but have found it not feasible. "The Park Department has the right to regulate the use of the parks, and if it is not admissible to close a certain park for a given period to give the grass and shrubbery a chance to grow and to beautify it, that may be done, but 'take it from me' if such steps are taken, there will be no discrimination. If one goes, all goes. "The park question needs some study which I shall give before next season. But whatever plans that are worked out it will be equal and just to me. "It is just as unconstitutional to segregate people in the park as was the residential segregation ordinance; which the courts have decided." Speaking of the compliments, the mayor said that he could not keep the people from complaining. "Like every thing else," he said, and so the thing also came to his mind. So the promise I can make, is to look into the matter." AN OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR KIEL Peculiar Situation Of The Colored People As- Set Forth By Members Of St. Louis Welfare Ass'n. Hon. Henry Kiel Mayor of the City of St. Louis Dear Sir, We ask no favor; only for justice. Believing that your heart is so disposed, we write in the interest of the democracy that you should be in the interest of humanity. You should hear the pleas of any question before taking action. We believe therefore that you will stay a new policy until all aspects of the matter have been presented or had a chance for presentation. As our honored citizen, we know you will do this. Some people in the neighborhood of O'Fallon Park complain of nero pliures, charging (1) that there were more colored than white, (2) that there was jazz music late at night, (3) that they got the worst of the Nero pliures. Falseness of Charges The answer of Mr. Papa, your own appointee is sufficient for the first two charges. He gave out the figures which showed that the white people had for more picnics at said park than the colored. It is true the Negro had more picnics at O'Fallon than at Forest Park and Carondelet commute. He tape further said that no jazzy late into the night occurred, because the city law forbid music in the parks for picnics after 7 p.m. This is not all. The musicians' unhol prohibits playing for parks after 7 p.m. As for O'Fallon park's getting the worst of Negro gatherings it receives the best. Here they are for your inspection. Jimmonns School; (2) Banneker School; (3) Cottage Ave, School; (4) Dumas School; (5) Waring School; (6) Dessertle Shoal; (7) Lincoln School; (8) First Baptist Church; (9) Central Baptist Church; (10) Antlock Baptist Church; (11) Union Memorial M. E. Church; (12) Lane Tabernacle M. E. Church; (13) St. Paul A. M. E. Church; (14) All Saints Episcopal. That not a single complaint has been filed against any particular picnic. This shows that the recept explosion is just the desire of a few unclefends to stir up civic strife, instead of desiring to promote peace for a greater Saint Louis. LINCOLN UNIV.

HENRY MORRELL, Ex-Soldier Henry Morrell, twenty-five year old colored ex-soldier of 19 South Tenth Street, is held charged with killing Victor Calleweart, 45, white, of South Broadway. A tale which is beginning ever more frequently told covers the case of this killing. In it is the story of a hustful white man and a colored man's defense of a fallen woman. According to reports made to an Angus representative, there had been some drinking going on at the home of Ethel Davis, twenty-three year old colored woman, of Morrell state that there had been a long standing friend ship between the Davis woman and the accused ex soldier. On the night of the killing it is reported that the dead man had a meeting with Ethel Davis at her home. Because of an altercation, that Ethel Davis received $200 which he had given her. This the woman refused to do with the result that the white man began abusing her. Neighbors report that Ethel Davis tried to get rid of the disgruntled man and failed; that the woman after screening for help left am at her home while she went in search of a police officer. Finds Morrell Instead Morrell, according to statements made by his mother and father was eating supper at his parent's home when Ethel Davis came, crying, to the door. The woman begged that Morrell, go for a policeman, she don't need any policeman. Impolice enough. Morrell is reported to have said. According to witnesses, Morrell's parents begged that he not go to the Davis woman's house and that he have nothing whatever to do with the case Morrell and Ethel Davis, however, went to the lifts home and found the white man near there. There were words she was struck and Galloway fell. Sunday night, the man was found dead in the alley in the rear of 1025 Clark avenue. Morrell claims that he did not intend to kill Calle weart. He states that he used no weapon, only his fist, and did not kick the dead man as some witnesses described him as a river crosser soldier who preceding to his parents, made a girl record for bravery while in the army. Self defense will probably lay his pen. JEALOUS WIFE ATTEMPTS SHERLOCK HOLMES' ROLE IN PITTSBURG. ARRESTED JEALOUS WIFE ATTEMPTS SHERLOCK HOLMES' ROLE IN PITTSBURG. ARRESTED Preston News Service PITTSBURGH, Pa. Sept. 16—Mrs. Salifonia Chanfain, aged 22 years, jealous of her dapper husband, whom she had heard was travelling around with flappers, according to the police. Wednesday night put on a suit of her husband's clothes, placed "22 billion dollars in a ship pocket and set out to shadow her husband. Everything was going well for a while and she was having visions of how she would, like Sherlock Holmes spring a huge surprise upon her husband at almost any moment as she was nearing the ship that he not his flapper friends. But as she came to Center avenue and Kirkpatrick street, where a watchful policeman observed the officiate swing to her walk she was walked by the officer it he could be of any assistance. She said that well matter, but the officer was curious and suggested that they plan the station house. As he was escorting her to the police station he discovered that she had a revolver in her pocket. Mrs. Chanfain was drawn to the city, bestely over eight and of the same blood as an assassin. NEGRO DELEGATION URGES ACTION Educational And Other Measures Affecting The Race Adopted By Platform Committee. Keynote Speech Made By Governor Hyde And R. R. Brewster. Dr. L. B. Clement Of Macon Elected Chairman Of State Committee Without Apparent Opposition. PERJURY CHARGED 18 NEGROES DIE IN LYNCHING CASE AS BRIDGE FALLS SPRINGFIELD, Mo. Sept. 14. After a two-day's session, the Republican State Convention closed here yesterday, Dr. E. B. Clements of Macon, was reelected chairman of the State Committee. No opposition on the floor of the convention. It being under that Fr. Clements is satisfactory to all factions. Among the "planks" in the platform adopted were those dealing with the education of Negroes and the Lyer anti-lynching bill. The former was introduced by Hon. Sam Baket. State Superintendent of Education, while the latter was introduced and sponsored by E. E. E. McMisssey of Springfield. Appears Before Committee. When seen early in the morning, Mr. McLimsey assured Representative Moore that he favored an anti-yitching plank in the Republican platform, or for some, Mr. Baker also said he would introduce the education clause. When the committee met to the afternoon, Wattall McIore, I. H. Bradbury, R. Logan and J. E. Mitchell appeared before the committee to urge the adoption of the resolution. No opposition was offered to the educational clause, but Mr. Baker said the warding of the anti-yitching bill whereupon I. H. Bradbury arose and told the committee that the endorsement of the Dyer anti-yitching bill was what the Negroes of this State wanted and expected, and that Mr. Dyer himself was expecting the Republican party of his home State to back this bill. Mr. McLimsey said that only Southerners had opposed the bill in Congress. Charges That Evidence Is Contradictory And Witnesses Are Intimidated Made By Solicitor. MACON, Ga., Sept. 11.—(Special)—Trial of the four Macon men charged with murder in connection with the lynching of John Glover, Negro, may be stopped to take up perjury charges against witnesses appearing before the Monroe county grand jury. It was decided by Solicitor-General Emmett Owens. The solicitor declared that some of the evidence given the grand jury at Forsyth today was greatly contradictory to that given before the Bible jury a few weeks ago. He openly charged that some of the scandals witnesses were being intimidated. The four men are being tried together. They are Troy Raines, Gordon Herndon, Nathan Unice and H. L. McSwain. Following the solicitor's charges, it was understood a move toward perjury proceedings will be made either late tomorrow or an end some time Wednesday. Solicitor-General Charles H. Garrett, of Macon, assisted Mr. Wences in the prosecution. Mr. Garrett did not take an active part in the trial other than to arrange the various questions proposed to the witnesses when they appeared before the county jury to ask that they waite they were on the stand today. It was plain that some of the evidence today aroused Mr. Garrett's suspicions, although he declined to discuss the matter. It was learned that one of the witnesses placed on the stand that he saw. Troy Raikes asked in part the shooting of Glover. Today he stated that he did not know Mr. Raines and the man who was pointed out to him to be Mr. Raines by some of his friends after they left the lynching scene did not prove to be the defender on trial. The other major discrepancies, the state charges in the statements of this witness and two others, as to the conversations and the actions of the defendants at the scene of the lynching. MOORE IS ON SPEAKING TOUR FOR REPUBLICANS Hon. Walthall M. Moore, representative from the Sixth District, is filling a few engagements speaking in the interval of the G. O. P. He spoke at Troy, Mo., last Thursday night and will deliver an address at the "Old Southern" jamb at Bills Hall. The Republican National Committee has assumed Mr. Moore on its speaking speakers bureau, and has assigned him to open the campaign in West Virginia. He matters what our position is in the world, whether we are for progressive policies, or must be for those who are not.

The resolution was unanimously ado- rated. The following is a copy of resolu- tions: FOR THE NEGROES OF THE STATE (a) We favor liberal and adequate appropriation for Lincoln University. (b) A similarism for the ticular patients. (c) A graduate boys' reformatory. (d) A home for the feeble-minded. (e) The establishment of an agricultural experimental station in connection with Lincoln University. (f) The establishment of a sufficient number of public schools for the Negroes that every child of this race receives the opportunity to get an education. Anti-Lynching Bill The pledge of the Republican National Convention to the enactment of anti-lynch legislation has found expression in the Dyer Anti Lynch Bill now pending in the U. S. Senate. We therefore endorse this measure and urge its passage by the present Republican Congress. Interesting features of the convention were: the masterly address by R. R. Brewer, hte Republican nominee for United States Senate, and that of Gov. Hyde. Those who heard the address of Mr. Brewer declare that he is fully able to meet Jim-Reed, the Democrafic candidate on any issue. Gov. Hyde told of the achievements of the G. O. P., State and Nation. 18 NEGROES DIE AS BRIDGE FALLS Overloaded Truck Carrying Crowd To Axson Ga., Ball Game, Crashes Through River Bridge. HOMERVILLE, Ga., September 21.—Eighteen Negroes, who were on their way from this town to a bus ride in Ackson Ga., in Atkinson cemetery, about 10 miles away, at their lives today when an automatic truck in which they were riding crashed through the bridge over the Satilla river. Jim Gaskin, the driver of the truck, was hurried backward with such force as to break his neck. Those in the truck were packed in so closely that they had no chance to escape. Four bodies had been recovered tonight. Only men identified of the accident have been obtained here, the cause of the accident being nearly twenty miles away.

From the smallest molecule to the law of gravitation; Motion and rest have a law. Which no one can find a flaw. Stern is the law as firm as a rock. Which no wind can shake nor storm can shock; There's no place where one might seek to hide. That the hand of law may not gently guide. The throng is like water o'er flowed the bank. Then the law will pull them back up cause; Law dwells among the fields of state. And keeps watch o'er the prison here. The law of the school is just the same. That's where we learn to play the game; There's a law of right and wrong. Heeded not by the thoughtless throng; Whom the voice of conscience cannot reach; Nor eloquent language or human speech Our wills must to the good incline. Or go to the wrong and against the Can rekindle the truth and make evil less. There's a law of sowing and a law of sowing. A law of making and a law of sleep- ting. There's a law ofution and a law of fighting. There's a law of truth and a law of justice. There's a law of loving and a law of hating. A law of condescension and a law of de- bating. A law of living and a law of dying. A law of laughing and a law of crying. 9.75 Bed, Spring and Mattress ly McNichols at Eleventh ONS BEDS t for Sleep BIG OPENING SALE JAKE JICK YOUR TAILOR DURING THIS MONTH ONLY ITS MADE ORDER $25.00 AND UP Walk Right Up.

THE ST. LOUIS AKGUS, FRIDAY, SEPT., 15, 1922 "111" cigarettes 10¢ They are GOOD! Uncommon Sense BY JOHN BLAKE WANT WHAT YOU NEED PHILOSOPHERS tell us we can have anything we want, provided we want it enough. With certain qualifications this is true. It explains why many men get things out of life that their friends never expected to get. They wanted them, and they got them. Getting things in that way for most people involves considerable sacrifice. For example, if a dry goods clerk wants an automobile he may get it, but he will have to skimp pretty heavily on his clothes and diet if he gets it while he still remains a dry goods clerk. It is for this reason that when you begin wanting something, it will pay you to want what you need. That will involve thought, for none of us know what we need until we devote considerable time to reflection and study. There are men who want new wives, when they have perfectly good wives at home. They don't need them, and therefore ought not to want them. There are other men who want wealth, when they don't need wealth. Still other men want steam yachts when row boats would do them more good, and private swimming pools when they would get more fun and health out of public baths in the ocean. They may get these things, but they will be no better off when they do get them. The wanting habit can grow into a very bad habit, indeed, unless you are careful to want what you need. It is well to remember in this connection that there are some very important needs that you ought to want first of all. One of them is a good reputation. Another is good health. A third is a home. Want these badly enough to get them, and confine your wants after that to things that are reasonably certain to bring happiness. Then want as hard as you like, and your wanting will not hurt you. Want what you need and you will be reasonably sure to get it, if you begin young enough. But don't want what you don't need. It will only make you miserable for life, even though you attain the object of your desires. (Copyright by John Blake.)

He or she is likely to have tendencies toward diseases of the head, throat or bronchial tubes. Nails that are seen, upon observation, to be unusually thick, bent and long, are held to indicate a nature inclined to cruelty and unfaithfulness in love. If the nails are square and very short, we may read thereby a tendency toward disease of the heart. This must be confirmed, naturally, by close inspection of the line of the heart. Nails that are brittle and inclined to break easily are a sign of ill health and nervous weakness. There are some nails which narrow very much at the base, coming sometimes to a point, or nearly to one. If they also bend over the ends of the fingers, we may read in them a sign of spinal trouble past, present or future. ```markdown ``` THE PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL Leaves Washington Avenue Wharf 8:00 P. M.

HE THAT RULETH-HIS SPIRIT When you give someone a piece of your mind— You are handing out something that no one wants— You are giving something that will bring no value in return— You are making investments in hatred that will never serve you well. Explosions of temper may give a faint smile. But not from the back-fire that will come in time— Not from the loss of good-will that no one can live rightly without. Not from pent-up ill feelings that will try to get even with you. A cool head gives a clear eye and a steady voice— And clear eyes and a steady voice command respect— And without respect our little success is quite an empty thing. No man wants to boost the grouch— No man offers aid many times to the one who flies to pieces— And says whatever he happens to think. Temper indicates weakness, not strength— It reflects discredit on the pilot of the mind— It indicates that no one controls the very home of the soul. Ten tests of a Sportsman may be given as follows: (1) He does not boast. (2) Nor quit. (3) Nor make excuses when he falls. (4) He is a cheerful loser. (5) And a quiet winner. (6) He plays fair. (7) And as well as he can. (8) He enjoys the pleasures of risk.

She started off to school today And mama's heart is sore; "Our baby's gone." I heard her say; "Our little girl no more." "We lost our little girl today. With eager, hurrying feet She sped with laughter light and gay Along the busy street.

ROMANCE OF WORDS SIGNIFYING Literally "confectionery," this Italian word was originally applied to the small hard bon-bons formerly thrown during the carnival days in Rome, Naples and other cities in the southern section of Europe. These candies, are known as corrdandoll, and the term "confetti" is applied to the cleaner and more popular substitutes—hard pellets about the size of a hallstone which are carried in bags by the masked revelers and thrown from tin ladies. The custom of throwing confetti was introduced into France several centuries ago, and especially popular at the festes of Mi-Careme (Midi-Lent) and Mardi-Gras (Shrove Tuesday). But the French, possibly because they took their pleasure less seriously than the Italians, substituted bits of gaily colored paper for the hard pebbles or candles, and when the custom was introduced into the United States by the French settlers of Louisiana and other sections, confetti was understood to mean only the scraps of paper. The amount of confetti used in Paris is apparent from an account of one of the Mardi-Gras celebrations, when it was estimated by one of the local newspapers, that 1,500,000 pennies were sold during the three days preceding Ash Wednesday. At an average price of twenty cents a pennel, some 500,000 was spent upon this form of announcement alone. Directly by the Wonder Woman.

An overflow crowd that blocked the sidewalk around the Booker Washington Theatre, Monday night, greeted this week's show at that place. The four acts of wandeville are all good and the patrons are getting an entertaining run for their money. The male team of White and Foster opens the show, with the hilarious song entitled "Bow-wow." They then indulge in a round of surrealic comedy and song oddities, followed by singing and dancing with a speedy-huck finale. Nettle Edwards, the singer, enters the stage through the audience as a country girl. After a hymnous monologue, she sings "No One's Fool," "Dear Old Mammy," and "Down Home Blues." She is a favorite here and maintains her standing, in this weeks engagement. Boots Hope is third. This rapid fire talker, styled "The World's Biggest Liar," is a scream from the time he enters to his last bow. His two songs, "Dempsey and Willis" and "Brown Skin Gall" are big winners. Buttebeans and Susie, enter as usual in a storm of applause created by Butterbeans' eccentricity and the apparent hopelessness of Susie. The couple heaps up a continuous domestic squabble intermixed with songs and dances. The net goes big. HARDTACK JACKSON'S HUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY NEXT WEEK Hardtack Jackson and his company of singers dancers and musicians will present "Wonders of 1922" and an offer of specialties at the Booker Washing Ton Theatre next week. As an entertainer, this company is one of the best travelling. The aggregation includes: Hardtack Jackson in his principal comedy joke; Jones, Jones, the well known silver toned singer, in the capacity of straight man and business manager; Skipny DeWitt, second comedian; Laura (Laby) Badge, sonette; Jack Richards, character manne Christine Morgan, Peggy Richards Marie Biddings, Ida Mary Wilson and Goldberda Hudson. "White Oak," "Clear Call," and "Evidence," M. The Comet William S. Hart in "White Oak" will be featured two days, Saturday and Sunday at the Comet Theatre. Mr. Hart is seen in the role of Tahk Miller, "a gamblin man" whose word is law and who is white all through us the tree whose name he bears. The story is one of exceptional dramatic strength and wondrous appeal. In its development on the screen, there are many scenes that thrill and hold the attention of the spectator as by a spell. The exciting events on a Missouri river steamboat, the ambushing of a wagon train by Indians, the rescue of a determined man, the strange punishment of a scoundred—those constitute only a few of the features. Elizabeth Hammerstein will be featured in "Evidence" on Tuesday. It tells a story of stage and society; shows the shallowness of the aristocracy, and proves that a girl of spirit and inventiveness can overcome opposition and knackery that seems almost insurmountable. Next Thursday and Friday, the Comet will present "The Clear Call." The plot of the photoyear is laid in a small town in Alabama where two men of strangely contrasting nature are in love with the same woman who in turn is in love with one of the men but married to the other. With this glimpse of gentility and screeching it combines every element of enchanting screen interest. Romance patters, comedy and suspense jumble together. a poet that involves an unusual treatment of two men and drugs with the regeneration of two men and a rehabilitation on the part of the woman beloved by both, of a sense of humor and martial obedience. A great all-star interpreter the roles, leading the list. Walkhall Chate Windlog, Milton Sills *Irape* Rohd, Joseph Dowling, Shannon Day, Fred Kebley, Annette DeFoe, and Nick Cogley Sia of Martha Queen." At Star, Doris May will be seen by Crazy at the Star Theatre this Saturday. It depicts a story about a charming little sub-deb (easy Miss May) who shows mark- ed commercial ability when she trans- forms her father's old fashioned dry goods store into an ultra modern shop for men's apparel. This she does to meet the competition of a "the dress- maker" who comes to their small villa from the big city and the streets to wreck her father's business. There is no end of good natured fun through out, with a choice of suitter on cus- toms and modes of the day. On Sunday, Sessie Hayakawa will be presented in "The Swamp" Hayakawa, is seen as a Chinese vegetable peddler, who sells his wares from a cart in the crowded streets of New York's tenement district. A quiet, shy boy his neighbors know little of him and his dreams he combines to his only companion, a horse. That is until he meets "Buster" played by Franklin Lee "Buster" is a tiny human umbrella. Through him the Chinese boy stumbles on a romance which is said to be one of the most beautiful and exquisite love stories ever recorded by a motion picture camera. Next Thursday, and Friday, the feature will be "The Sin of Martha Queeed." Allan Dwan wrote the story around the dominating personality of a man who hadn't an ounce of faith in—single human on earth. He was the district attorney in the eyes of the community fitted for the position because to him everyone was a crook. He had the reputation of not even trusting his own family. It shows how this man's suspicious mind affected the member of his own family, and particularly his daughter, Martha, who through innocent of mind, is convinced by the sin in her father's mind. The story is interpreted by Mary Thurman. Niles Welch, Joseph J. Dowling, Frank Campan and others. "FIND THE WOMAN" The Paramount Dramatic Production Of Life's Daily Complications.

The theme is a lesson to women who marry without love and shows what happens when they do find the man of their heart. Rudolph Valentino is featured. William Farnum in "Shackles of Gold" will be the feature on Sunday. In the story, Farnum begins as a dock laborer, fights off the gang of an unscrupulous oil magnate, wins a fortune through oil and then marries a society girl who returns scorn for his love—a girl who marries him because her parents need the money. "Despite all this, Farnum battles his way, to love though he ruins himself financially—as well as the man who has tempted his wife—so that the end of the story brings him the happiness, he feared never was to be his. On Wednesday, Pauline Starke will be presented in "Salvation Nell." It is a story of the ups and downs of a poor little girl in a great city. Nell Sanders loses her sweatshop job, is discharged from the eating establishment of Hash House Sal, but her pluck asserts itself after she is dismissed as the scrubwoman of a saloon, and she joins the Salvation Army and triumphs saving her beloved Jim from himself. Next Friday, Lon Chaney and a curie of stars will be sen in "The Night Rose." "The Opth," "My Lady's Latch Key" And "Salvation Nell." At The Jesamere. Miriam Cooper in "The Oath" will be featured at the Jestermeatre this Sunday and Monday. It is an adaptation of "Idols," the novel by William J. Locke, but even those who have read the story will not fall to be thrilled by the scene in which Hugh Colman is changed in public opinion from a murderer into an extremely quixotic lover. The thrill of seeing it enacted is far more impressive than that, which could ever come from the printed page. It is a daring subject that of the relation of religious prejudice to marriage between parties of different greeds, and has treated the matter so delicately that there is nothing but delightful entertainment. The dramatic story-that results could have been based on no other premises than that of deep emotions aroused by conflicting religions. A more gripping photoy has not been seen here, this season. On Wednesday and Thursday, Katha- nell was to be presented in "Mx. Lady Latchter." Next Friday and Saturday, the feature will be "Salvation Nell." The story is intensely human, dealing with the trials and tribulations and steadfast love of Nell Sanders, a girl of New York's East Side, for big Jim Platt. Nell loses her sweatshop job, bpr gets another in the lunchroom of Hush House Sal. When the free lunch saloons turn out the penniless Jim he goes to Nell for a handout and as a result she is again without employment. Later she is dismissed as the scrubwoman of a saloon when Jim beats up the saloonkeeper's brother, for which he is sent to jail. Nell becomes a Salvation Army worker and when Jim gets out of prison, her devotion arouses his conscience, manhood and—love. "Fools First," "Reported Missing" And "The Woman's Side." At Olympia Marshall Nelson's "Fools First" will be presented at the Olympia Theatre this Saturday. The story tells of the regeneration of a crook through the wiles of the daughter of a master crook. She apparently abets 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. On, Sunday and Monday, the Olympia will present "Reported Missing." The story concerns the efforts of a wily Oriental shipowner to do away with young Richard Boyd (Owen Moore) who has an option on a fleet of vessels which the Chinese sea master wants. He has Boyd shanghailed and then the fun and thrills begin. Tom Wilson, as Boyd's valet, gives the performance of his career. His every move seems to promote laughter. The scene in which he darws his trusty razor and starts out to carve up all the Oriental handy is the funniest seen in a long time. The thrilling scenes include a shipwreck, a race between a hydroelectric and a sea sled and a terrific fight in the stronghold of the Oriental villain. Next Thursday, Katherine MacDonald will be seen in "The Woman's Side." For years the heroine had been taught to believe she was the only daughter of a prominent judge and his wife. In a moment she was made to realize that her entrance into the home had wrecked it because the judge refused to tell even his own wife who the girl's mother was. It is a strong story superbly noted, the suspense of which is heightened by a strong element of mystery. "The Summer" and "The Son Of The Wolf," At The Casino. Wolf. At The Casino. Written by Seane Hayakawa, the dramatic star of the screen, for his own use as a vehicle "The Swamp," an R-C production, will be seen at the Casino. The theatre this Saturday. As the author of his own starring vehicle Mr. Hayakawa naturally kept his own capabilities in mind with the result that "The Swamp" is developed into a delightful story in which drama blends with romance and comedy. The story relates the experiences of a Chinese youth who sells vegetables in the slums of New York and of his romance with a young woman who son he has befriended. On Sunday—The Casino will present Jack London a thrilling Far North story, "The Son of the Wolf," Jack London never falls to bring back the old thrills with his stories that stalk with adventure and romance in the great open spaces where men are "either white or yellow." In this picture the great author, crammed abundant drama of the most thrilling nature and Norman Dawn, who flamed the stories, has brought it all out in vivid fun on the screen. The story has to do with the love of a wandering in the snow, for a pretty fashion in the snow, he must possess all manners of kindness and rich all sorts of dreams. The World's Charmers.

He runs away from the parental home and becomes a prize fight champion, but in the end hisistic prowess enables him finally to achieve the desire of his life. There is said to be a wonderfully captivating love story and much humor throughout the picture. William Farnum in "Snackles of Gold" will be featured at the Lincoln on Sunday. It is a "strong man" play. Farnum begins in a doak laborer, fights off the gang of an inscriptional oil magnate, wins a fortune through oil and then marries a society girl who returns scorn for his love—a girl who marries him because his parents next his money. Despite all this Farnu brags his way to love, though he raises himself financially—as well as the man who has tempted his wife—so that the end of the story brings him the happiness he feared never was to be his. Betty Compson will be presented in "The Green Temptation" on Thursday. It displays many scenes of Europe, the underground world in Paris thrilling a street, scenes, a travelling street show, unique dances, a Fifth Avenue tea room, a costume ball and many others. The story which defts with the trials and reformation of a woman Apache of Paris, is exceedingly thrilling. Among the features at the Betina Theatre the coming week will be Jack Hoxie in "The Broken Spur"; this Saturday; Art Accord in "Dead Game"; Sunday; "Bob Hamilton of Placer"; Monday; "The Wise Kid"; Tuesday; "Cheated Hearts"; Wednesday; Norma Talmadge in "By Right of Purchase"; on Thursday; and Chas.

This data consists of authentic statistics and figures giving the number of known lynchings that have taken place in the United States during the past thirty-three years, together with the names of the victims, the place of the lynchings circumstances and the alleged crime charged. These figures will be especially valuable in contradicting the argument which is certain to be repeated in the Senate that Negroes are lynched only for the crime of rape. Similar data was furnished by the N. A. A. C. P. when the Anti-Lynching Bill was being considered in the House of Representatives and the friends of the Bill in the House were able to meet with facts and figures the false statements made by the Congressmen from the South. In addition to statistics and figures the Association has sent to each Senator phamplets published by that organization which give numerous examples of the barbary and savagery which so often accompany lynchings. Many reports in these, phamplets of burnings alive at the stake are taken verbatim from accounts which appeared in the newspapers of the communities in which the burnings took place. This forestalls any contention which might be made that the horrible details given are exaggerated. Each Senator has been furnished with this material: New Office Inaugurated By Nat'l Negro Business League Associated Negro Press NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 13.—In some of the press reports sent out from here during the Twenty-third annual meeting of the National Negro Business League which recently convened here there was omitted inadvertently an important office that was inaugurated at this session. This new office was another assistant registrar of the National Negro Business League, and the person elected to fill the office was Ernest T. Attwell, of Philadelphia. Because of his wide acquaintance throughout the country with the leading Negro business men, it was thought that the organization of additional local business leagues, might be stimulated and developed, and many additional national membership might be acquired as a part of the league program. There is perhaps no one who has travelled more throughout the country and studied more the community life of the coloured people than has Attwell and this has added a tremendous number of friends and contacts in the various sections of the country.

Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 13. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is on the Senate program for action. That means, under the rules the Anti-Lynching bill is one of the measures that will get action in this term of Congress, which will doubtless recess before election, but does not finally adjourn until March 3rd 1923. There is a difference of opinion as to whether a "motion to consider" will be reached before or after the election process. Strong pressure is being brought to bear by Senators in the pivotal states, where Colored votes are the balance of power, to have the bill considered now. This may be done. It is known that President Harding, Senators Lodge, Shortridge and McCormick, Chairman Adams of the Republican National Committee, James Weldon Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P., Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman of Georgia, Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant Attorney General; Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Dues, all of the newspapers, various organizations by resolutions and committees visiting the President and Leaders, infunctual private citizens of both races, each, all, have had an important part in bringing the bill to its present position in the Senate. The Liberian Loan of $5,000,000 will soon be passed by the Senate, it is confidently predicted. This measure, already passed by the House, is also on the Senate program for action. This loan will be of great benefit to the African Republic in getting the nation on a former economic mask. Haiti Being Helped The loan of Twenty or more million dollars for Haiti is practically completed, according to the latest information. This means that the Western Republic will soon be flourishing under the stimulus of adequate financial backing in the program to be carried out in its behalf under the trenty-General Russell, the High Commissioner for the Government, who has been back in Haiti for a number of months, has mapped out a pretentious program which, according to advice, will be carried out to the letter.

Convention with regards the antithem a copy as adopted. Following the announcement that the School Board has purchased a site on which to build a high school for the colored children of the City, cast of Grand Boulevard, there has been much speculation as to what kind of high school is to be built on the new site. Rumors are afloat in the community that it is the intention of the School Board to build what is known as a Junior High School on the new site. We hope these rumors are unfounded. We cannot believe in the light of the facts in the case, that the school board contemplates any such action. As we see it, a Junior High School located east of Grand will in no wise help the present situation. It will only be shifting the burden. That is, whereas those who heretofore were compelled to go from east to west, the shift will bring them from west to east. But in either event, who pays the toll? We take it for granted that it is the purpose of the board to use every advantage at their command to serve the children in the best possible way. This being true, we would suggest that a regular high school be built on the new site at Garrison and Laclede. This ought to be done and it is the duty of the School Board to do it. The Seventh and Eighth grades should be returned to the district schools, thus a saving of time and money to hundreds of parents and thousands of children. The reasons for a high school east of Grand are so many and so strong that they do not admit of argument. The Central School Patrons Alliance has presented most of the facts to the Board. The question of the location of a new high school for colored children is one of vital interest to us all. And like all big and righteous issues, can only be settled right. ENDORSING THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL It is quite gratifying to us to note the endorsement of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill by the Republican State Convention at Springfield a few days ago. Massachusetts, New York and Ohio are prominent among the states who have gone on record favoring the bill. With the endorsement of the Missouri Republicans, who are in power in the state, the Dyer bill gets another strong boost. We are quite sure that Congressman Dyer, the author of the bill, was pleased to know that his advocacy of such a measure met the approval of not only his Republican colleagues, but the Republican party in the State. Some law to stop Lynching should be enacted by the present United States Congress. Every day's delay lends encouragement to the lawless mobs of the South. That the sentiment of Missouri as expressed in the Republican platform may be felt in the Senate, we urge upon Dr. Clement, chairman of the Republican State Committee to wire President Harding, Senator Spencer and Senator Lodge the action of the State Convention with regards the anti-lynching bill, sending each of them a copy as adopted.

We as a race must conquer the jealousy and the foolish so-called class enemies among us that keep is fighting among ourselves, that keep us from presenting a single united front to the enemy, that keep us ruled because they keep us divided, that keep us impotent politically, financially and industrially because they keep us discordant and separated. We must help our lower classes up or our lower classes will drag us down. We must not only practice thrift and buy nice homes ourselves and have me bank accounts and businesses, but we must inculcate and help every other black man and woman to do the same. Let us give you an example: In Kansas where John Brown fought and won, they tell us discrimination and race friction have been growing space. They tell us it is because the social classes, the professional and business people will not unite with the working class. All for one and one for all. In educating our coming generation, in politics, in commerce, in industry, let us be all for one and one for all. Let us eschew pessimism and Socialism. Let us keep on the highway of Democracy. Let an artistian's uniform and a workman's overalls be a badge of respectability. Let a carmester's kit or a mechanic's apron be recognized as evidence of superiority. Let us keep the home fires of love and thrift burning. Let us uphold at all post the virtue of our women. Let us live for these things. Let us be prepared and not afraid to die for them. Let us teach our children they can and will stand as high as they can build. Let us teach them by struggle and sacrifice, by work and worth, they can win life's goals. Let us face the future, let us plod on with the will to win our place. This is the HIGHWAY OF DEMOCRACY! Let us lay firm hold in Harlem, in New York, in the nation, upon those things that are substantial rather than chase the show and the glamour that are not only temporary but suicidal—New York News. Put yourself in the other fellow's shoes and you in all probability will see things in a different light. Let some of the reformers or fanatics put on a "truth week." They should tell the people that the truth is mighty and will prevail.

Cloud Did you read the Saturday Evening Post last week? "The Trapping of Judge Plinkham," by Morris Dickerson. The Saturday Evening Post is one of the Curtis publications. The Ladies Journal, The Country Gentleman and the Public Ledger Service and newspapers, all of Philadelphia, are also published by the Curtis-company. The Audit Bureau of Accounts gives the Post alone a circulation of near 20,000. The Post reaches practically every country on earth where English is read. Interesting stories, regardless, are of doubtful picture. Digital truth is growing opinion than do the occasional refutation of such stories by personal contact between the average reader and members of the race or class from which the characters are drawn. Northern and foreign readers of such stories of Negro life as are regularly carried in the Curtis publications are interested in the vividly imbible and the Curitie publication, going way in giving the world its opinions. Literax Du Bels Motivation is given to the fathers, helping feelings of an experienced mother heavy artillery, machine and rider or the pinniness of the feeling which a handman experiences in a severe storm at sea know what the feeling is which one gets when reading the malignant metaphorizing of Negroes which is so appalled with the White man. Battle worm soldiers, however, and storm tossed handmen, always, with experience set the gloom of hope, at dual host which comes of the unlearned knowledge that there is hope. Such men as Du Bois furnish the gleam through the mark of fifty-propaganda which is being fed the world by white American press. Du Bois "The Second Coming," if he had never written one other thing, is the sort of heroism which is being fed the world by the ignorant, can never be forgotten. The big difficulty is that where millions read the work of the enemies hundreds, only, read our truths. The News Again Here you can read a St. Louis daily paper's account of a crime committed by a colored American in which the race of the perpetrator of the crime was not mentioned? How many times have you seen a white newspaper account of a commendable act performed by a colored person? The Post Dispatch hired two colorful musicians and a radio concert. The names of both artists were mentioned in the headline of a news article in the Post commending the work of the colored musicians and mentioning the thousands who were pleased by their work. NOT ONCE IN THE POST DISPATCH ACCOUNT OF THE CONCERT WAS THE RACE OF THE ARTISTS MENTIONED. And that's food for thought. Facts: Facing facts, stripped of all illusion of dreams is a rather difficult thing. For every one man who has been convicted of a known act of crimes there are tens of thousands who never look back of effects. migrations of the right or wrong of it our states in the United States is a fact and the practical fact of our status is something entirely different from our theoretical status. Raise prejudice by lying press propaganda by the official legislation the whole devilish treatment of Negroes when Negroes are wrongly treated, are all effects. The causes are deep rooted and not immediately apparent, but we must find them and attack them at their roots before we can change the effects.

Scientist claim to have weighed the soul. Some claim to have seen it leave the body at death, others say that it is (in material and invisible).

It is almost an obsession in America. Here we welcome to give praise, but quickly snatch it from the recipient. But when a man continues to receive new honors and gives that to others, he is reminded of the nation gladness and better, and combines with his giving a real human tenderness, sympathy and understanding, that man rightly deserves the highest recognition not only of his fellow citizens, but of country men. Such a man is our own J. Gerald Tucker, delightfully emotional, and eccentric, enough, to be individual. Tyler pours fourth his very soul and heart into his work and play in such a way that you would at once recognize him as Tyler. For four years he has given to the St. Louis public a music which appears not only to one group but to all classes. His "Ming muffin" is of the heavier type and is a great piece. He has also written a cantata, "Tubal Calm," for bertone voice and chorus. Walter Damorosch, conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, who is compiling a collection of children's songs, has recently accepted some of Mr Tyler's compositions as presented. This recognition is unusual and led the St. Louis Star to interview Tyler at length on his works. So families are the Negroes of St. Louis with Tyler's compositions that they fail to recognize the real genius of this man. The tardy recognition on their part of Tyler's real work indeed most attentuable. Tyler has made a contribution to the music of St. Louis far more than it does himself. For when a Negro dots the unusual thing in the sight of the white man, he quickly believes, not that this Negro is the exception as he formerly did, but that the race has wonderful possibilities which are denied it. St. Louis must wake up to its obligation to those men who dig into some field of research and effort and bring up a prestigious stone appreciated and seized upon by other racial groups. Shipping a man on the back and telling a story of a woman came from a sinister heart, but offers little encouragement to men of brains. MEN LIVE BY EATH IT IS TRUE THEY ALSO LIVE BY HONEST ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUNCERE APRECIATION! You cannot expect your brother or in a work hard to bring laurels to St. Louis. You cannot offer honors just won on others! Can't we create such a spirit among the Negro business and professional men of St. Louis that when a special work is done by some man we are willing to give him just credit for it? I believe we can. We can but 'touched, the outer edges of the possibilities of his genius. What he will accomplish in the field of music will be largely due to the respect and encouragement which the Negroes of St. Louis accord him. result of a dispute over a stray cow and calf, said to be owned by Chambers, which had been taken up by Thomas Bowens. Chambers had gone to Bowens' home on the outskirts of the city to recover the cow and calf. When he began to work with the cow and calf, it is said that Bowens went into his house and reappeared with a shotgun. He fired at Chambers who tell mortally wounded and died in a few minutes later. A neighbor said that Bowens in his angry attempt to tie the cow and calf to help lieutenants on the ground with the gun and when prevented fled with the gun in his hand. The SANDMAN STORY MR. OWL made his home in the inlay of a tree in the orchard. He did this for one reason—because it was near the field where there were plenty of mice, and then he liked the location; there were plenty of small birds around. But the orchard birds did not care for Mr. Owl as a neighbor, and so when they found, he had really settled there and intended to stay they called a meeting in a nearby tree to talk it over and see if they could not in some way get rid of him. Plenty of ways were suggested but not one of the birds wanted to be the one to tell him to move. "He is never up until we go to bed," said Mr. Sparrow, whose family had suffered from the bad manners of Mr. Owl. "I would gladly tell him," said Mr. Blue Jay, "if I could meet him in the daytime, but I just cannot stay awake after dark." "Huh," exclaimed Jennie-Wren, "if you told the whole truth, Willie Blue His Home in the Tree. Jay, it would be that you would like to be rid of Mr. Owl because he is a bigger robber than you are." Willie Blue Jay stood first on one foot and then on the other and winked and blinked, but he did not reply to Jennie's saucy but truthful remark. "What's in a Name?" BY MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name; its history; meaning; enhance it was derived; significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel BELLE BELLE is one of the many feminine names which began existence as a contraction and gained sturdy independence until it became a recognized appellative and is bestowed without reference to its prefix. Since Belle signifies "oath of Baul," it is easily discernible that it is an offspring of Isabelle. In the days when Elizabeth of Hainault married Philippe Auguste and suffered her name to be changed to Isabelle by the French, it is hardly likely that Belle was used, either as an endearment or a diminutive. But Isabelle became very popular in royal circles and the betrothed of Hugues de Lusignan, who later married King John, brought Isabelle to England. It was there that Belle came into existence and into consequent rogue. Of all the contractions of Isabelle—of whole Nib, Ibbot and Ib are a few examples—Belle proved the most popular and lasting. Belle is a popular form in this country and is bestowed without reference to Isabelle. France recognizes no such contraction, but Spain has an equivalent Bela. The opal is the gem assigned to Belle. It will prove a talisman against evil, danger, and disease when worn by her. The evil designs of the plique, which superstition claims is imprisoned in the stone, will be powerless against her. To dream of an opal means success. Friday is Belle's lucky day and 4 her lucky number. The chrysanthemum is her lucky flower. (Copyright by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Two Evils to Avoid.

There are three ways in which to find the value of a dishery one is to find out what you have to give in order to get a dishery; the second is to spend it and what you get on it. spoke up Mr. Kingbird, "I would tell him to leave the orchard quickly, but as you say, he never flies about in the daytime so I cannot tell him." "Why not sit up one night, Mr. Kingbird and watch for Mr. Owl!" said Mr. Catbird. "You like to be called the watchman of the orchard; now is your chance to earn the title." Every one listened, for it was known to all the birds that Mr. Catbird was given a wide bench by Mr. Kingbird whenever he met him, and also that, though he did wish to be called their protector, he was really very unkind to the small birds, even while he did attack Mr. Crow and Mr. Hawk in the most fearless manner. "Well, well, what is going to be done?" chattered Jenny Wrem. "I can't waste all the day here, even if the rest of you can; I have work to do and I keep my house in order, too." Everybody began to chatter at once, for they all were afraid of Jennie's sharp tongue, when suddenly Jennie's quick eyes saw something moving in the tree where Mr. Owl lived. "Look!" she said, "there he is!" Mr. Owl sat on a limb near the hollow in the tree looking very stupid. "He can't see in the daytime," cried Jennie. "Come, let us drive him into his nest." All the others followed Jennie, who was scolding as loudly and fast as she could, and around Mr. Owl they swarmed, chattering and screaming. Poor Mr. Owl loved silence and this terrible din nearly drove him out of his wits. He turned his head and with a clammy motion managed to get into his hole while the birds screamed louder than ever before over their victory. That night when he came out of his nest, before he found anything for his supper, Mr. Owl flew off to find a new home, for "no one could live in the midst of that chattering bunch and be happy," he said. "I would swallow whole that chattering Jenna Wren If I could find her, but if I did she would keep right on talking, I expect, and then I would have to listen to her all the time, so on second thought I guess I won't hunt for her."

This is a good thought to remember when one finds himself burdened with public service or other work for the benefit or happiness of his fellows. Though it may be exceedingly disconcerting to realize that one is sacrificing considerable through devoting much of his time to elvie or philanthropic service which he should devote to his own business or profession, he should recognize that there is likely to come to him the pleasure of great satisfaction in the amount of good he does. This is the position assumed by one of the most public spirited men we have ever known. Year in and year out for a quarter of a century this man has given a large proportion of his time to the work of formulating plans for a great park system, and in order to make a big city a more desirable place in which to live. Not being wealthy, the man is virtually dependent on the income from his profession. Only recently it was our privilege to notify him that he had just had a new job added to his many tasks by being appointed a member of an important committee. He smiled one of his delightful smiles which told of the big heart within his breast and declared: "That's fine. But, by Jorge don't you know I shouldn't mind if I'd get an appointment now and then which would mean a few five spots. Yet someone must do it or those essential improvements won't be done, so I might as well add a little more to my pack. Anyway no money could compensate for the happiness which I experience when I realize that I've helped even a little to make the city a better place in which to live." Let us keep this sentiment fresh in our memories when the call comes to neglect our own affairs for the public good. If we do, we'll not only be able to do a real service, but our pleasure will exceed our regrets. © by the Wheeler Gradicate, Inc.) A LINE O' CHEER By John Kendrick Banga. CONSOLATION IF THERE'S a Road that leads there's equally past any doubt Somewhere said the rock and rubble Another highway leading out, between the joy and sin There in an Opt for every in by McClure Newspaper Syndicate Why should I try to hide from you the fact that my object in life is in play all the time? I am thinking now of what Sir James Harell said to some people one time when he was CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE long dormant, is now, rapidly developing among the Negro. It is already strong among the Jews, Italians, Irish Greeks, and Germans of America, including Saint Louis. This is the white man's big mistake; for this section is contrary to the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and in the Law of God, which says, "God is no respecter of persons" and "Love your enemies." Edmund Burke, that great English statesman well says, "Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the trust, wisdom; and great empires, and little minds go ill together." This stressing of the moral character. The leaders, therefore, should declare it even from the homestead. Therefore, of Honorable Mayor, there should be no change now in the permission of plenics, because what desire there is for such is born of hate and prejudice, not of love, not of an interest in humanity. May not the Negro even have a plenic in peace? Do not by any chance sow the seed of strife. Like, lynching, this will make others than the Negro victims. It merely will retard the progress of our city. The Desire for a Greater St. Louis Saint Louis was greatly chagrined by falling from fourth to sixth place among American cities. Detroit and Cleveland both forged ahead. It is significant that the size and growth of our cities can be rather well determined by liberal attitude toward race. Why do southern cities trail the rear? It is because immigrant fear to enter them. If there is to be a philanthropic Saint Louis change, the action must not be accelerated. If we desire a greater Saint Louis, let us change this from being a southern city, to one with the spirit of New York. How speedy then our progress would be? Unfairness of the Proposed Admissibility We are led to understand that you have already ordered a new system for granting permits for the use of parks. We hope this is not true, since the Negro has not had a chance to present his view. We merely want you to be fair. (a) Picics according to Districts. In making districts, those in power have not been fair neither, Democrats nor Republicanism. As a practical politician, you know of the jerkymenders accused by both the Democrats and circuit judgeships. Furthermore, each redistricting of wards noticeably the last has weakened the Negro politically. The Negro believes that this was one condition that determined the division. He believes the same would occur with regard to picics unless he would have representation in the council that arranges the districts. Why proportion picnics against a group that has no voice in deciding the basis of division? If those who complain are dissatisfied with their neighborhood, they should not arouse them. They ought to more elsewhere. Dogs may be permitted the use of the parks; but Negroes must be forbidden. (c) Curtailing the Number of Negro Picnica. The O'Fallon Park Committee say they will ask for curtailment of Negro plenies. This is like asking for fewer people to walk on special streets. Probably that would be the next request to forbid Negroes from walking on the streets, to forbid him a place in the city. It is found-too that restrictions put upon Negroes soon pass to other oppressed people. It is all fostered by enmity and therefore should not be contenenced. (d) Prohibition of All Plenies There. The idea of having no plenies in O'Fallon Park is unfair to the entire city. These people should be given no special legislation; for such is undemocratic. Why should the city foster aristocracy? Besides, O'Fallon is the most accessible of the parks, a further reason why people should picnic for the most part there. (e) The Establishment of a Separate Park for Negroes. The unfairest plan of all is the proposal of a separate park for Negroes. This would mean the exclusion of Negroes from the use of other parks. The proposal is to be fostered by an ap- position of 500,000 from 47500 from the Municipal Road In- dustment. What is our experience in the case of things exclusive for the Negro? It has always means colossal neglect and inferior accommodations. Compare Lincoln Institute and Missouri University: City Hospital No. 1 and City Hospital No. 2; Tandy Park and Calton Park. The comparison is a disjunctive. Louis and Missouri. Such a plan will bring the support of the Negro for the Banks. The Attitude to Take Towards The Negro Mayor Kiel, be fair to all. Let your attitude be determined by if hope of progress, by a desire for a city that will be second to none. What is being done is like holding a man down. Then a propos is Booker Wash- ington's statement. "To keep a man in the gutter, he must stay down with him yourself." He explains the policy of the dominant group in Saint Louis. The attitude to take toward the Negro then is to do nothing against him, to do nothing for him; but leave him alone. He asks for only an open field and, fair fight. So let the park situation remain as it is; you will enlarge the privileges of all. Yours Respectfully, ST. LOUIS WELFARE ASSOCIATION John E. Keen, Secretary 4207W. Easton Ave. POPULAR BLUFF, MO By J.

Do You Want The Negro Trade? See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper The Woodmen of Union Hold A Successful Session Nearly Two Thousand Delegates Present: Dedicate Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollar Hospital And Bath House. John L. Webb, Supreme Custodian. BY ALBON L. HOLSEY HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Sept. 13. A him. "I use glad to see you young fraternal organization which advocates the bath, the screen and fresh air may not be new "under the sun" but the slogan "an clean homes, clean bodies and clean lives," has helped to make the Wooden of Union one of the strongest or ders of its kild in the country. In spite of the hard strike, something more than 2000 delegates represent 1200 local lodges in the states of Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida and Missouri gathered here this week for the annual Grand Lodge Session, and the dedication of the $150,000 Hospital and Bath House was the outstanding feature of the week's proceedings. On Wednesday evening at Visitors Chapel A.M. E. Church the addresses of welcome were delivered: Dr. C. M. Wade extended the welcome in behalf of extending the welcome on behalf of the citizens: Prof. R. C. Barrow in behalf of the Churches and Prof. S. M. Wyatt on behalf of the local fraternal organizations. Prof. C. S. Goodman of Holly Springs. Miss the Supreme Vice President responded on behalf of the visitors and he took occasion to tell something of the achievement of the organization during the past six years. President' Kendall's Annual Address Dr. E. A. Kendall. The Supreme President in his annual address reviewed the past record of the organization and in contrast with the records of previous years he stated that it was our pride to the order and the race" that in spite of unsettled economic conditions throughout the country the Woodmen of Union had made most remarkable progress this year. He praised the deposition and field organizers for their "honest, efficient and loyal co-operation in the management of the affairs" of the order this year. The local lodges through their officers "have rendered a most helpful service in keeping their records accurately; in spreading the doctrine of "Love, Truth and Justice" to the organization stands and for training the officers in stand for "law and order" and for co-operation between the two races. Continuing Dr. Kendall said, "We are struggling and working not alone for the present but for unborn generations, for this race of ours which most eventually take its place along side of other races who have fought, bled and conquered. As a race we have no cause to despair when we think of the melting pot thru which other people and races have passed. Rather than despair let us be mindful of the things which concern us personally. Let us be careful of our conduct with reference to our relations the ones with the other. Let us more accurately consider and more diligently ponder the truth contained in "As we would that men should do" to ye even so into them." Let us settle within ourselves face and for always this question and that is if creditable one for, and by my people are to meet with success it will have to come absolutely and entirely thru my people. Each individual must know that the future hope of the children which they have brought into the world the aim and ambitions of a struggling race depends entirely upon their own loyalty to the principles for which we are contending and to the amount of co-operation shown to every worthy effort put forth by our own race. John L. Webb, the Supreme Custodian of the organization, was recently elected Treasurer of the National Negro Business League and his annual report showed that the Woodmen of Union have assets amounting to $433,000 and that $120,000 has been paid out this year in sick and death claims to members. "Our organization" said Mr. Webb, "was never in better financial condition than at present, and the members have required assistance." Mr. Webb's services to the order. The committees appointed to review the custodian's report said "Any organization among people that can in six years turn a $400 deficit into a credit balance of $300,000 and during the same period pay out $610,000 in sick dues and death claims is worthy of the confidence and support of the best people everywhere." John L. Webb, said one of the speakers "for he-took charge of the order when it had no money and a mere handful of members and has made it one of the outstanding orders of the race." Dedication of the Hospital The Woodmen Hospital and Bath House was completed and began serving the public about three months ago but the formal dedication Gok place Thursday August 31st. Most of the members of the order had not seen the building and this occasion and would expect to sit in the elegantly appointed lobby and watch, the delegates march thru "their building" "I clare to gracious, it shure to grand" remarked one elderly "Sister" as she passed slowly thru the upper hallway turning first to this way and then to the other. Still another overboard comment deserves mention here because it came from a aristocratic old man who registered from a small town in one of the "rich agricultural" states. The old man was undoubtedly beheaded at what he saw. Even his saluteface treat upon the incumbent in the hallway when he asked the second floor and seemed than the passer where a man was standing, the place PART TWO bim. "the glad to see you young folks enjoy you selfs" said the withered old man, "cause what I come from day would'en let niggers——" a crowd of delegates surged past at that moment and the old man swept along the crowd and his sentence was unfinished but its significance was not lost to me. After that I watched for the "withered old man" in the audience at the regular lodge sessions because his reactions interested me. The evening sessions sequence was a praying fecundity, our race might be burgling and I saw the "withered old man" take his solled red handkerchief from the pocket of his biting coat and wine away the tears. But to come back to the dedication of the building: The 2000 delegates and a large number of local citizens gathered in front of the hospital and after devotional exercises by Rev. E. J. Lunon of Forest City, Ark. the Supreme Chaplain of the organization, Dr. E. A. Kehalld. the Supreme President introduced Rev. L. S. Overall of Little Rock, Ark. who delivered the dedication address. Rev. Overall said "We are proud to be able to witness participate in this dedicatory today, for it means not the formal dedication of a building but it means the dedication of our organization to the slik and afflicted of one." When we think that our race started fifty years ago with no name and no homes we must take great satisfaction and pride in this building which represents the achievement of Negro brains and Negro skill. Service To Its Members The members of the Supreme Lodge took a very forward sign when they pledged to contribute $200 each per year as an endowment for the hospital. This will enable the clinic and to treat the numbers of the order in the Hospital without cost. Dr. Jno., E. Eve, the Supreme Medical Director told of the plan, for making the Hospital a real service to the race and to the members of the organization. He also told of the proposed training school for nurses which is to be conducted at the Hospital. Dr. Eve is a young man of splendid promise and is going up a route in the middle years. Various members of the order,志愿捐赠ed expressions of appreciation of the Hospital and of the fact that the building had been created without any extra assessment on the members. The following committees were appointed at the opening session: Committee on Custodian's report; Prof. W. H Townsend, Pine Blow, Ark. Chairman; Committee on the President's Address; Prof. G. S. Goodwin, Holly Springs, Miss. Prof. G. S. Goodwin, Emma Foster, Prof. Berry Jones, Cotton Plant, Ark. Chairman, Committee on Regulations; Rev. C. B. Ashford, Hot Springs, Ark. Chairman, Committee on Obstinities; Rev. A. B Jp Pergx, Marianna, Ark. Chairman. Entertainment features In addition to the opportunities offered at Hot Springs for sightseeing, the delegates have enjoyed some very interesting entertainment these being: A Muscle entertainment department of the Office of the Woodmen of Union. Their program included vocal and instrumental selections and three numbers by the Woodmen of Union Band, which is composed of the members of the office force, and which is being trained by H. H. Bants, a former member of Tuskegee Institute Band. The choirs from Ronoke Baptist Church, Haven M. E. Church and the Visitors Chapel A. M. E. Church rendered 'excellent' service. The three days session concluded with an entertainment Friday evening at Whitlington Park. Officers Re-elected The following officers of the Supreme Session were re-elected: Dr. E. A. Kendall, Supreme President; John L. Webb, Supreme Custodian; Sister L. A. Roberts, Supreme Secretary; Sister L. W. Harper, Supreme Royal Queen; W. E. Miller, Supreme Royal Senator; Dr. H. J. Lunon, P. H. Thompson and A. B. J. Perry, Supreme Chapains; Dr. Jiao, Eve, Supreme Medical Director. BIG WHISKEY-RUNNNING SYNDICATE WITH FLEET OF BOATS DISCOVERED District Attorney Clyne, who interviewed the nine porters, took quick action on their statements. He started twenty agents for New Orleans to arrest seven "bigger-ups" there, men to find three others in Chicago. So extensive is the organization, according to the porters, that it owns a fleet of fishing snacks to bring while on the water. More than 300 canes a week have been bought into Chicago in sleeping cars the porters said. Committees The St. Louis Argus ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, SEPT., 15, 1922 Points of Difference Amongst The Various Types of Race Leaders Inclination Of The Classes And The Masses Of Colored Americans As Evidenced By U. N. I. A., And N. A. A. C. P. Tolerant Leadership, The Demand. By G. U. C. A Colored writer whose article appeared some time ago in Leslie's Weekly stated that there was more color prejudice amongst Negroes, and of a more rabid nature, than existed between the white and colored races of the United States. The article outlined a broadside of criticism from Negro editors and writers all over the country. White people have built up the general idea that all colored folk are fundamentally akike. No more erroneous opinion could be held and when a colored man makes a statement of conditions exist in a particular class of colored people applicable to the masses and all the cases of the race, he is either poorly informed or playing to the white gallery. White people and any movement which coordinates this feeling of grievance and gives it mass expression is a failure worthy of more thought than in different contexts. If a mob gathers to lynch a colorful man and lynches a colored woman instead, it may have failed in its original intention but some lynching has been done just the same. The Masses Numbers rule and only pressure from the mass of colored people will accomplish what all the intelligence of all our leaders have failed to account for: coordinate effort on the part of differing types of able men for the general good. Men who have spent their whole lives, practically in an atmosphere of If there are any two characteristics common to the majority of colored people regardless of class, state of development or political or social status, the two characteristics are a common individual, economic economy and a general inclination to organize. We are coupled with the economy necessarily organizing are the direct camps for literally thousands of differing organizations of colored people. We have everything in secret organizations from the Masons to the G. L. double P. Q. Y. Z. whatever that may mean. We have everything in economic organizations from the National Negro, Business League down to a fake oil well corporation. Then we have the National Association for the Advancement of Black Blood Brothers, the African Bighorn League, the Garvey movement, organizations and would be organizations of a Bi-lob nature. U. N.-T. A and N. N. A. C. P. The Garvey movement and the N. A. A. C. P. by point of memberhip, im- bation of program, and attention re- ceived from the general American con- tributions of Negroes in the world. An imperial survey of the activities of the two organizations would require a large volume. A collection of the ethics of the two would find ardent attitude and solidarity with each Intellectual Leaders Class consciousness and class in- ference is as prevalent amongst Clerks as amongst other races of man. The black inhabitant of the gutter or back woods is as impatient of seminars with the black university graduate as a white ignorantus. There is no com- ground upon which ignorance and trained, intelligence may meet. The N. A. A. C. P. heads are mainly products of some of the best educational institutions in the world. Many of them are men-and-women travelers and ripe expereperience. It talking to most of them one goes, mostly the atmosphere of the campus and the boarding school dormitory. In spite of the undoubted high standard of its officials and their honesty, however, the N. A. A. C. P. has failed so far, to reach into the consciousness of the majority of the people to be affected by its work. Cold reason and perfect beauty have failed to impress the subjects of an emotional race. Logical speakers have reached the mind of the mass with their clear cut phrasing and academic handling of subjects. The Crisis is not much more appreciated by the dock worker and the cotton picker than is Browning of Charles Dickens. The intellectual handling of a personal and fraternating human problem is amongst the laborers and the lovers and amongst us as with all races trained intelligences are in the minority. North, South, East or West one runs into contempt for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League amongst the graduates from high schools and colleges. Wherever one travels in the United States one runs his passionate loyalty to the Garvey movement amongst untrained members of the race. The Garvey program of direct action has appealed to the class of colored people who have neither the ability nor inclination for analysis. "High sounding titles, a circus system of balyco, gold, braid, parades, bands and emotional speeches have very decidedly 'hit' with the less fortunate 'cigared people and, remember, ignorance is in the majority. The future will have to condemn Mammes. Present-day demonstrators who are hopeless and informed of them must condemn most of his methods. There is no getting away from the fact, however that the man has decidedly caught the attention of more people amongst the colored race than any other member of the race ever has before. Martin Luther, Geraldall, John Wesley, Danton and Robbispiee are a strong array of figures who have demonstrated the power of talk in tearing down or assailing what appeared to be the most powerful force in the case of the Garpy movement in not analogous to either the great church schism or the successful national rebellions of the past; no one yet can say that anything is impossible when large numbers of men make protests against an injurious condition. Although on its these African redemption is honour yet for colored people it is still fundamentally still on the side of the white man in a necessary context. white races and any movement which coordinates this feeling of grievance and gives it mass expression is a far more worthy of more thought than indifferent contempt. If a nub gathers to lynch a colorful num and lynches a colored woman instead, it may have fathed in its original intention but some lynching has been done just the same. The Masses Numbers rule and only pressure from the mass of colored people will accomplish what all the intelligence of all our leaders have failed to accomplish: coordinate effort on the part of offering rapes of able men for the general good. We have spent their whole lives practically in an atmosphere of intellectuality may know what should be done in a question where the best interests of less intelligent men are concerned but it is impossible that those same intellectually will know how the task is to be accomplished. At the same time a man who is the product of the back wash of civilization possessing only a polish of human experience coupled with native shrewness may know how the interest of the majority is impatiently impaired that be will know what to do with the interest once he has it. Civilization was not built by college graduates alone. For every piece of epoch making artistry, for every great piece of literature, for every wonderful poem or song, great achievement or great engineering feat more than births alone* was necessary. Linking other means, our highly trained and natural I *intellect* in grooming must be the native ability and natural humanness of men who can read and write, and who can speak the language and feel with the emotions of the man in the street. Untrained but capable leaders may build up charge organized to be successful for a time, but without the directive ability and trained intellect and gubernious honesty of our college and university men final failure is certain. G. Grant Williams. City Editor Philadelphia Tribune, Dies Associated Negro Press PHILADELHIA, Pa., Sept. 13. G. Grant Williams, City Editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, is dead after an illness covering several months. He was one of the best known newspaper men in the country, and was noted for his unusual and unselfish public spirit. Following so shortly after the death of Christopher Perry, owner of the Tribune, he was also known for blow. Miss Bertina Perry is now mumming editor of the Tribune. G. Grant Williams was born in Peekskill, N. Y., in his early years he was a valet for a very wealthy resident of that vicinity, afterwards removing to Hartford, Conn., where he went into business, opening a barbershop on Pearl that was one of the best in the city. He married there; his first wife died several years ago in a sanitarium in Chicago. He was agent for the Tribune while a resident of Philadelphia, and he married to Christopher J. Perry, Sr. owner of the Tribune, he came to Philadelphia about 19 years ago, to become city editor of the publication, which position he held until the time of his death. Mr. Williams was; also, well-known as a promoter, having given the largest and most successful concerts ever given in Philadelphia, these were always given at the Academy of Music, which was always sold out before the night of the show, or colored who has ever accomplished this at this large auditorium, the management of which presented him with a silver medal, for this accomplishment. He was the first to bring Marion Anderson before the public, presenting her at the Academy. When the Dunbar theatre was built he was selected as manager, which position he held, till the theatre changed hands. He was the director of the Theater De Curulander of Bethlehem, Pa., who survives him.

THE AMERICAN WOODMEN HOLD 2 CONVENTIONS Eastern Division Meets In Atlantic City. Southwestern At Dallas, Tex. Associated Negro Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 13.—The American Competition for the District of New Jersey. East Pennsylvania. District of Columbia. Maryland and Virginia assembled in "The Playground of the World." The players and audience were present for the opening exercises on the following night: prominent among whom were the Supreme Commander, the Hon. C. M. White, his Secretary, R. Deans, L. H. Lighner, Supreme Clerk, H. L. Billups, Supreme Vice-Commander, C. C. Trimble, National Supervisor, Major-General John L. Jones, Commanding Officer in the U.S. Rank Department, Brigadier General W. A. Emerson of Signal Officer, Win. Blue National Musical Director. The Grand Opening Ceremony took place at the Fitzgerald Auditorium, Mr. Biltus noted as Master of Ceremonies. The welcome address on behalf of the municipality was delivered by the Hon. Edward L. Bader, Major of the City, who greeted the convention in a very sincere and cordial manner. Mr. Bader, at a jureure in his speech said: "I believe that this organization so fittingly named the American Woodmen, represents the greatest need of the Negro Rage, which is to cooperate one with another, have confidence one in another and do business one with another. The fact that this institution has been able to establish assets of more than a million dollars in the short space of, twelve years, proves beyond possible contradiction that a colored man or woman need not turn a side from his own Race in order to secure protection against sickness, accidents or death. And what is infinitely greater than this is the reality that the accomplishments of the American Woodmen are after all but an assertion of what you can do in any area of life. And that I haven't much respect for the colored person who is lacking in soft loyalty, for if he isn't loyal to his Race he can't loyal to himself, and as to being willing to assign himself to an inferior economic status without ever having made an effort to advance himself or promote the best interests of this people by supporting Race enterprises." Southwestern Division DAHLAS, Texas, Serv. U.

Monday night witnessed the Grand Opening Exercises at the St. James A. M. E. Temple. In spite of the inclement weather a very large audience thronged the church and gave rapt attention to the entire program. A selection by the St. James choir began the proceedings. Dr. Chas. W. M.

Rice followed after which Editor Tice of the "Dallas Express" delivered the welcome address on behalf of the City, substituting for the author in earlier in the day conveyed by the express. Deas for his inability to attend. Mr. Rice proved to the audience conclusively that in addition to being a very fluent writer he is also an eloquent and forceful speaker. He succeeded admirably in causing the entire delegation to feel that the citizens of Dallas was honored at their presence and stood ready to demonstrate the geniusness of their far-famed hospitality Editor. Rice gave unstinted praise to the American Woodmen for their remarkable progress, stating that to the best of his knowledge there, was in their organization in America irrespective of their achievements in the short span of time equalled that of the American Woodmen. Mr. Rice was heavily applauded on the conclusion of his speech. Rossee Dunlee, Editor of the Oklahoma City "Black Dispatch" was chosen to respond to Mr. Rice. A somewhat humorous sidelight might be intruded. Shortly after the beginning of the program the electrical storm which prevailed, caused the audience to be merged in darkness. A kerosene lamp was discoverc and utilized. Neither Editor Riz Editor Dunjee was at all abashed by the contrary, for Illumination, but so the contrary proceeded to full vent to their nostril powers.

A number of single rooms will be converted into double rooms to take care of any young men who may apply in the future. CAFETERIA. 62,000 meals were served by the cafeteria during the first eight months of the year. An excess of 14,000 over the same period last year. GYMNASIUM. The interest in the men's gym class has been so intense that not a single class has been missed during the entire summer. Secretary of Pine St. Y. M. C. A. on commenting upon the activities said: "Figures are not the biggest things but it is the increase in the spirit of loyalty and devotion of the men that is the source of greatest pride. This spirit is manifested in the way the men stick by each other, enter into each other's sorrows and joys, and share each other's failures and successes. For my part there is no such joy in the increase service of the Cafeteria as compared to the satisfaction I have in thinking of the way the men reacted toward one of our number who was injured.

The sight of the International Community Welfare League is founded upon sympathetic and helpful intgz relation; it was conceived in the beauty of patriotic Endeavor and dedicated to humanitarianism. The International Community Welfare League is free from blantant outcurses of racial strife; its advance towards the goal of economic freedom has been in accounted strides. Its platforms will become life saving to thousands whose appealing hands stretch from the South; it will prove that unity makes a people. The international Community Welfare League is the outgrowth of a trip of investigation and report made by a committee of wealth colored citizens of the United States throughout the Republic of Mexico and the Southwestern part of the United States. The committee was headed by the Hon. J. B. Key of Okulmgoo. Okla., as chairman and Hugh E. McBerk, Esq. of Los Angeles, Cal. general counsel including in its membership were Dr. O. A.

Soon they were seated and the program was begun. Mr. Steward of the boy's division gave the welcome address which was responded to by Mr. John Corneal of Michigan University. Then every one introduced himself and told of his school and his ambitions. This was followed by college and high school songs and yells. Soon the meal was served (and it was indeed tempting) and jokes and stories from older Summer graduates to imagine in memory of old times. At this point Prof. Frank L. Williams was introduced and was enthusiastically cheered as he rose to speak on "What Summer and the Community expects of you." Among the many helpful and inspiring words said by Prof. Williams were the following: "Young men when you go back to college you will have many, and varied experiences. The course of study may be hard and you may not be able to keep up with your classes, you may fail to pass your examinations; you may not be able to make or star on the Athletic teams, but above all these, Shimmer and the community expects you to be a man, clean and noble in word and deed. We would rather hear that you had failed in the former than to know that you had let down in the latter."

Fifty-six years ago a small group of young men arose of the Civil War together (alogether by Dr. Benjamin F. Stephenson of Decatur, Ill.) After organizing the name bestowed on the body was the Grand Army of the Republic. Organization began April 6, 1863, and the first national encampment was held in Indianapolis, beginning Nov. 20, the same year. There are no authentic records to give the attendance at the meeting, out of which grew one of the most powerful and faithful men in the United States. It must have been small, however, for one of the first theatres in Indianapolis was used for the meeting place, and it held only a few hundred persons. Maximum Number 409,189. Membership campaigns by the Grand Army of the Republic continued from year to year, but an official record of the membership is available only so far back as 1878, when it was given as 31,016. It was about this time that the men who had fought and won a great war began to make a contribution to the advancement of the country and as a result the G. A. R. increased in membership strength by many thousands. 2635; Market St. 13818 E, Broadway ” St nuts ROM. C. GREEN = fs‘. "touk: Funeral Director.and Embalmer 3 PUONES ‘ PHONES! Bamont MLAs.

The St. Louis Mission was represented by Mesdame Michael Young, M. C. Brooks, W. P. Curtis, and L. R. Hamilton. It is encouraging to know that the denomination will continue the local mission and will use all effort to build an attractive church at St. Louis. All friends of the denomination are asked to help the members in their effort. BISHOP CARTER COMES TO LANE TABERNACLE, SUNDAY. Jupiter Philus undoubtedly did not do his worst to our Sunday School that Sunday morning as there were 253 scholars present regardless of the immense downpour at this hour. The young men's Bible class made another gold star and continued their onward march for the monthly prize. The Little Workers, a class of girls taught by Miss Katie Smith, received the gold star for having more scholars present at tid opening of Sunday School. Rev. L. Smith invites all members who joined church under his administration to be joined in worship at 11 o'clock. A committee of ladies Miss Peninah Elder, Mrs. May Nichols and Mrs. E. B. Robinson will place a blue ribbon on all of those that joined Lane Taboracle under the present pastor. Another committee will place white ribbon on all of those that joined before the coming of Rev Smith Blue offering envelopes will also be provided, and white likewise. The Right Rev. R. A. Carter, of Chicago, will call Sunday morning. SAMARITAN M. E. CHURCH 4168 W. Belle. The corner stone of our new church will be laid at the above number on October 1, by the Master Masons, District Superintendent Leroy Woolrich, officiating. The rapid growth of this congregation: their quickened inspiration and their new life are truly evidence of the power and fearlessness leads on. Mighty in the pulpit, wonderful in council, he has proven himself the man for the place so that on the 1st of October, the cornerstone of one of the city's most modern church buildings will be laid. The first unit, or ground floor, will consist of a gymnasium, community club room, young people's social parlor, business and primary department, cloak room, boiler room. The pastor is too generous to chalm or or himself. The Rev. Leroy Woolrich, interment of the St. Louis District, has decided to every possible way to make it possible for this congregation to realize a long cherished hope. The Rev. B. F. Abbott had a hand in the establishment of this church at the present building site. He was with them and he is still with them in sympathy and in a very material way in counsel and guidance he has helped to solve many knotty problems. In fact the pastor justly appreciates the generous assistance rendered by Dr Abbott. We now worship at Sarah and Cook Aves. You are welcome. Great gospel sermons are preached—glorious songs are sung—the voice of prayer is heard—God dwells here—that is why the people are coming. See the "Arch Way." Pass under it on the first Sunday in October at 3:00 p.m. Will you be one of the 5000 who are under this arch way and deposit it ($1.60) in the chest? This charity will be conducted by a committee of three trustees three stewards, three unit leaders and three members from the pew. LILLY HOLLAND, Secretary, J. S. GREGORY, Chairman of the Board. MT.

His parish was glad to see him although a sense of sadness was felt for a few minutes to see him as never before on crutches. He looked very cheerful and expressed himself as being happy to be present. He also told of his appreciation of every kindness shown him since he has been "A Shut-in." We do not know when he will be with us again, but we hope very soon. Rev. S. J. Brennan preached a splendid sermon Sunday morning, text taken from the Twenty-third Third Sunday, night he gave a very impressive message on "The Prodigal Son," showing God's love for us when we return from the after disbelief. How grateful we should be for God that we are blessed with "His Words." The rain prevented the parish from turning out in full last Sunday, so the groups are requested to come out, next Sunday, Sept. 17, 1922 and bring the desired $50,000. Groups are still taking part in the Friday night prayer meetings. Come out and help. We are planning for a Mock National Baptist Convention to be held the first ten days of November. Do not forget it. Bro. Joseph Keeble, a member of long standing of Central Baptist Church, passed away after a lingering illness and the funeral services were conducted when the church by a R. R. C.

Sept. 23.—The remarkable way in which the churches of the north have done their part in assimilating the migrants who have invaded the larger cities in such numbers is exemplified by the work which is being done here by Olivet Baptist Church, under the leadership of Dr. L. K. Williams. More and more Chicago is feeling the effect of the religious and civic influence radiating from the city, which has with its 7,000 membership more than thirty paid social and special workers, and innumerable activities, particularly prominent in which are its kindergarten and Day nursery. The entire city has been watching the recent drive for $15,000 to be used in the regular program of the church Last. Sunday when it was finished, after 30 days spirted work, $15,000 was the amount in hand and this in spite of the large proportion of Olivet's members are newcomers in Chicago. An employment bureau, health bureau, and various aids of this type, show that the church takes an interest in the material as well as spiritual well-being of its communicants. Work of this type is being done by many churches, though, perhaps, in no so efficient and certain way. A new era in social and religious service, and Dr. Williams is blazing the path. Prominent Philadelphia Methodist Minister-Diess Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Sept. 13.—The Rev. Alexander Hammun, pastor of the First Colored Wesley Methodist Church, Philadelphia, is dead. He was perhaps one of the strongest men in his dehomination, and had because of his Christian piety and religious activity gained a large following here. His church has become a factor for good in the community, and the religious life of Philadelphia loses one of its strongest workers. Rev. Hammun had been falling in health for over a year. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1929, Western Newman University. LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 17 THE MESSAGE OF MALACHI LESSON TEXT - Mal. 1:4-14 GOLDEN TEXT - Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of Heath - Mal. 1:7 REFERENCE MATERIAL - II Kings II:7-22; I am. 6: Kek. 2:1-7; Ante 20-35; I Cor. 1:1-13; PRIMARY TOPIC - God's Promise of the Savior Coming; JUNIOR TOPIC - Offerings That Please Good. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -What We Should Give to God. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —What the Bible Teaches About Giving. The subject of today's lesson is broader than the text, especially the verses printed. The best way to teach this lesson is to give a survey of the entire book. Malachi was perhaps contemporary with Nehemiah; probably sustained the same relation to Nehemiah that Haggal and Zechariah did to Zerubbabel. After the completion of the walls of Jerusalem Nehemiah seems to have been called back to the Persian court, but returned to Jerusalem after a few years. Though outwardly the lives of the people were correct, the prophet pointed out the sins of a corrupt priesthood, mixed marriages and a failure to tithe. I. Israel's Base Ingrattitude (1:1-5). God approached them with the tender affirmation "I have loved you." It was the prophet's burden to declare this fact unto them (v.1). So formal and worldly were the people that they failed to see God's hand upon them. The attitude of Israel to God is shown in the skeptical insinuation "Wherein hast Thou loved us?" The prophet answers this by showing God's choice of Jacob and His passing by Esau; His destruction of Edom and saving Israel. II. God's Severe Indictment (1:6-2:17). Y. Against the Priests (1:62-9). They were guilty (1) of profanity (1:6). Their profanity was in despairing the name of God. To fail to honor God is to be profane. To use His name in any unreal way is to be thus guilty. (2) Sacrifice (vv. 7, 8). Their sacrilegious act was in offering polluted bread and blemished sacrifices. To bring such offerings to an earthly ruler would be a gross insult. Gifts to be acceptable with God must be genuine; must cost something. We should give to God our best. There is no intellect too brilliant to offer in the Loquia service. The young should not esteem their lives wasted who offer them on the altar of missionary sacrifice. (3) Greed (1:16). They were not willing to open the doors of God's house without pay. Our service should be out of a heart of love for God, not for profit. This has a vital application to ministers and evangelists today. To enter Christian service because of worldly gain is of this type. (4) Weariness (1:12, 13). Because of lack of love the routine of duty became irksome. (5) Not teaching the law to the people (2:19). Those set apart to teach God's law to the people have a great responsibility and God will most surely demand an accounting. 2. Against the People (2:10-17: 37-15). (1) For ungodly marriages (2:11-12). God's purpose in the prohibition of mixed marriages was that He might raise up holy seed (v. 15). The marriage of the believer with the unbeliever today brings confusion into the fold of God and turns aside His purpose. (2) For divorce (2:13-18). Divorce was the source of great sorrow—even the tears of the wronged women covering the altar (v. 13). The offerings of a man who had thus treated his wife would be an abomination to God. The tears of wronged women today are going up to God and make even the prayers of some men an abomination to Him. (3) Public wrongs (3:5, 6). (a) Sorcery—magic. Those who practice such things should be regarded as public offenders. (b) Adultery. This is a sin of wider extent than the parties concerned. (c) False swearing. (d) Oppression of the hireling, widow and fatherless. (e) Turned aside the stranger from his rights. (4) Blasphemy (3:13-15). III. The Severe Judgments Which Should Befall the Nation (3:15:5; 4:16:1) 1. By Whom Executed. This is done by the Lord. Judgment has been committed to the Son of God (Acts 17:30-31). 2. Time of Second Coming of Christ. John the Baptist was the forerunner of His first coming. Elijah shall be the forerunner of His second coming. 3. Result. For the righteous it will be a day of healing and salvation. To the wicked it will be a day of burning and destruction. A book of remembrance is now being kept. A day of retribution is coming. Even as He is Pure Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifeth himself, even as he is pure.—I John 3:23. Not Afraid. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousand people.—Psalm 5:36. WE MANUFACTURE OUR OUN PREPARATIONS Will positively promote the growth of Hair in 3 months.

We are in a mid-western city. Last night we saw a sight the like of which we had never seen before. We went to "The Church of God and the Saints of Christ". The "saints" are both white and black, male and female, old folk, younger folk, and little children. The head of the church is a black man. They call him—the insulated call him—"Humi Fat". and they say that it is because he stole so many hands, before he became a "saint". Everybody preaches in this church. They take turns—and sometimes all of them try to preach at the same time. On this particular night the main exhorter was a portly white woman, and the rostrum was occupied by two white male "saints," another black man, "Hum Pat." Before the fat sister entered up on her discourse, there was singing, mourning, shouting, praising, singing, nonsense—syllabifying body dance, by the greater physical vigor, displayed by the greater physical vigor, in both the voice and the dance. One fat brown sister did a short jumping shuffle all the way from the pulpit to the door and back up the aisle again to the pulpit. It was marvelous to see this pretty brown woman doing about four jumps a second for fully ten minutes while the others clapped and jazzed and sang a rag-time hymn, beating tambourines and ringing even call bells. As soon as one song was finished, other was taken up, "songs" all clapping, singing and many of dancing the holles." One shirt black girl did as thrilling a vaudeville stunt of a rapid clog dance as ever seen on the stage. One older woman came down the alley giving the same 'tremulous grunts and cries and lips and throats noises which Kamba Shimango and blaspartner gave in the "African Jungle," scene in the play called "Taboo." The pure hysteria and the abandon. The din of hell and the jungle cries. The screams, the honesies, the shilds and uplift the severity praying at once, so that not even God could understand them. The clapping of hands, the ringing of bells, the "jigger" dances, the beating of the tambourines and the tinkle of bells. The hell-fire, briststone doctrine of the exhorters. The dizziness, jazziness, madness. The low moans and the loud shouts, even the little children, white and black, taking part and swaying their bodies and slapping their palms. The awager's strength if it jumping and thumping and swaying and bleeting, mollining and tolling yelling and smelling. Here were the rites of the jungle and the cave, right in the heart of a big city of civilization. One thing impressed the thinking beholder; there was more democracy and brotherhood in this jungle than in the "first Methodist" or the first Presbyterian church. While her mother shouted and clapped one little white girl, about ten, took scrupulous and natural care of one little black baby about two while its mother sang and danced the "holies." The "saints" seemed to be absolutely color-blind. We left in a state of interrogation. THE BECOMING OF NEGRO HOTELS. By William Plekens. Associated Negro Press. The Negro who travels in the United States knows what a benefactor of his race is another Negro who establishes a clean and honest hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Ma L. Stuart, who fell in love in the early 1900s, made for years the most established a Hotel in the colored district. The New Hotel Pleasant. It is clean and well provided. Negro travelers cannot get decent treatment in "white" hotels—at tast not in many places. Springfield, Mass. and a few other New England points. and a, few in the "uncivilized" West are all that occur to our mind at this minute where a, a black man can get a first-class hotel service, without there being any hotels in New York. There are now admit a black man If he is known, tried, proven and well vouched for—about as "free" Negroes had to carry identifying papers in 1850. We welcome the development of Negro hotels, and we want to give them this "tip." ADMIT ANY HUMAN BEING OF ANY RACE, wherever the law allows it. Run hotels, and you will be the black man's privilege in America and he should make the most of it. Poor handicapped, white people are not permitted to rise above the sub-harh civilization which respects only "our clan" and our tribe." CURRENT AND OTHERWISE By W. H. A. Moore Associated Negro Press Associated "Butomula" is a novel of convincing strength. It may not be a work of first rate power. Nevertheless it stirs with the compelling insistence of a great purpose and, while it leaves one in an atmosphere of unpleasant savors, strikes deep with its verities of ruthless and utter degradations. The English translation of the book has appeared in our midst. If appearances stand for anything definitely sure the American reviewers are somewhat nonplussed and at variance as to the itss of the story and the power they should be given among the most rewritable, innovative ligature. There is complete agreement concerning its arresting interest. It grips; it holds; it startles with its graphic depictions of a social situation appalling and disgusting in its every detail. It lumps about; as it were. No sooner do they get the attitude stationed where they can fully establish that the tale is a faithful picture of the clear unworthiness of the African as a social factor than they face to face with the condition that Butomula's moral crusade of his death trifles administratively if rose please, by the objective inhibition of Abeliae. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, SEPT., 15, 1922 EDITORIAL SQUIBBS Associated Negro Press. It may be the weather. And then it may be a matter of temperament. But what is the use of giving the public this class of entertainment? public this class of entertainment? We hate to see it. Everybody really has a fellow-feeling of good will for both Brother Porter and Brother Pickler. In the meantime Wizard Garvey goes on his perry way gathering in the sheaves and the sheckles as though Pickens and Porter had gone to meet the angels. In some more meantime the "Dyer Bill" is having a hard Sematarian road to travel. By the early summer of 1924 it ought to be on its final passage. Good-things come slow and some bad things as well. Mr Wilson is very glad that the notorious Vardaman has been beaten in the latter's attempt to bring about a return to the sanctities of the United States Senate. Vardaman has been married to her gifts to their neighbors everybody sat up so the story goes, and began to put their cars to the ground and listen for the stampings of the Greek hosts bearing arms of destruction. But what's the use of thinking of the ancient Greeks? They have passed into history and that is the end of them, perhaps. BEAUTY TALK Associated Negro Press I have been asked to—but, no—you get the significance of these few words? At least some of you have come to life and activity and have asked a question, and the question is WHAT is it, and how are the various people employed. Now I consider that question something of a poser, but here goes. So overjoyed am I that you consider me a real, live human, able to answer such a question "does me proud" as the old lady said. I'm not exactly an authority on the subject, but I have seen from real beauty experts and not followers offer beauty such as I, but here goes. First, let's settle once and for all the popular belief that hairs are hollow tubes. They are solid, just like a cord, and the surface of each hair is animated, or notched if you have ever slipped your finger along a single hair, you will notice these tiny notches like the teeth of a fine hair in springs from a depression in the scalp called a follicle, and the roots of the hair that tip of tissue called a papilla. I can make no better comparison than the root of the hair will remind us country cousins of the roots of wild onion. You know how the fine stems grow out of the white bulbs. Around these follicles are to be found one or two little glands, and they are of two sort. One is the sebaceous or oil gland, from which a natural oil is supplied to keep the scalp soft and the hair moist and to prevent cracking and splitting. Another sort of gland is the gland, from which compaction and refuse is thrown off. Whenever these glands cease functioning normally, we begin to have all sorts of scald trouble and diseases. About the color of the hair—Why no one knows just why we are born with brown or black or yellow hair. We can account for henna reds, and peroxide yellows and sage browns, for almost any druggest is capable of compounding the wherewith to turn the color of your hair over. You have only some help, founded on care and knowledge as to why we are born with the various colored hairs. Of course, the color comes from a natural pigment in the papilla, and we know something of the chemical ingredients which exert certain influences. Light or blooded hair contains more oxygen and carbon dioxide, but less hydrogen and carbon. It is fine than dark hair and there are more hairs to the square inch. Red hair contains considerable sulphur, from coal and oil. Brown hair contains less sulphur than white hair. In old persons the hair has a quantity of Ume. We refer to natifons by their colorings for instance, we are always referring to the dark haired Spanish and the swarthy Italian, but one meets a surprising number of Mondes in these countries, who are natives, and there are many Titan beasts with their boundless brains. Frances dark brown brains, but again we met brunettes, and are surprised to note her "but brown" skin. We think of the Hollanders and Germans as blonds, and the brunette is the exception, while the Scandanavians, to a man, are blondes. Among the English and the Americans, a mixed type of people, we are given to know particular shadings. However, we know that the climate has something to do with the color of the hair; it is the exposure of the skin that do with the colored coloring in the same climate. For instance, the city girls who seldom avail themselves of an opportunity to go barbeaded, are naturally of darker hair than the country girl. There are a number of interesting instances of a person's hair changing color, according to their employment, etc., which have come to my notice, but which I shall not quote here. There are the albinos who are born without color pigment in hair or skin, and who are regarded with pity by all, for their peculiar marking. There was an idea prevalent once that all albinos were of Negre extraction, but that has been proven a fallacy long ago. Race has nothing to do with this peculiar state. It has been estimated that there are from 75,000 to 150,000 hairs in a single head, varying with the age and condition of the person. Blondes have more than brunettes, and the faxen-headed type has more than any. There are about 600 hairs in the average eyebrows and 420 in ceyclashes. There is a great deal of resistance in the average hair, and it has been proven that a single strand will support an article weighing four ounces. Hair possesses a surprising amount of endurance, for although it is known that hair will dissolve, the water in which it is beolled has to attain a high temperature. Hair will not decompose under the most severe circumstances and graves open after thousands of years discloses the hair of the deceased and in some instances, even more luxurious and beautiful than when they were laid away. I shall be glad to tell you more about the hair in the following talk. We are so used to hair, though; that we do not attempt to analyze it's structure, needs, and care, and as a result there are many of us who are prevented from being beautiful, because of this careless ignorance. Hearker unto me, and you may yet be A NILE QUEEN BEAUTY. When Black Meets White By John Louis Hill For Associated Negro Press Chapter IX 24th Installment Characteristic Contributions Associated: Negro Press The old time religions and folk songs of the colored people, of the weird and mournful threnody, are unlike anything produced before or since. They were the naturally musical and crudely poetic expression of the souls in bangleage, moulded and tinged by hope within and despair without. They weer the product of a time, type and clime, within themselves immortal, but creatable only by then existing conditions which have passed forever. These songs early became a vital part of Southern Life. They were sung by the slaves on the old plantations and at their religious meetings. Later they were revived and by the world famous Fiske Jubilee Singers were given in grand concert in all the principal American cities in the west and even Europe, appearing, it is before most of the crowned heads of foreign countries. Much of the money for the founding and maintenance of Fiske University at Nashville, Tennessee, was raised in this way. That the genius of the Negro for original production in music was pot limited to the old time songs is evidenced by the fact that the most modern and popular "jazz" and "jazz" are as disfigured as its own was "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," or any other of his earlier products. The soul of the Negro is melodious and rhythmic. It readily responds to the spirit of the times, yields to the movement of the masses and expresses itself in original music. His earlier boudage, poverty and despair were given vent through the mournful songs of the old time Negroes. But the modern Negro, far removed from the sorrows of his ancestors, quick to catch the trend of this ragged, "jazzy" age, immediately sat it to music, and forthwith put the whole world a wiggle under its magic spell. In characteristic production the colored race in America so far has been more musical than literary. This is true because musical expression, though crude is easier than literary expression, more technical is necessary to the latter than to the former. The Negro has given us distinctive music which has also a distinctive life, and his music is the expression of his real, as well as his individual life. In this respect he is superior to the white men. Another distinct contribution of the Negro to American thought, expression and life is his form of speech, racial accent, form of language construction, and the resultant literature. While Negroes, as a class, have not been prolific producers of literature, their life, bamor, philosophy, folk beaten and spilled, their expression have been spilled by many white writers and these successful imitators together with Negro authors have given us all that is distinctly American in literature. In addition to the articles in various numbers of the Journals of the Americana, Folk-Lore Society, the "Turtle Bean" stories by Joel Chandler Hurry; "Negro Myrtle" stories by the Georgia Coast; and "The Folk Tales" stories by the Negro. and amusing in American publicity, solely producad or inspired by the Ne While old time Negroes as a class, did not understand the rules of grammar, their naturally musical speech, influenced pronounced language in the South as to render it the most beautiful, in all the land. Charles Dickens, while visiting in America said: "Virginians speak the most beautiful English in the world." No other language on earth is so musically melow and soulfully expressive as grammatical English, accented and inflected by the Negro's natural style. This, in a land of so complex population that prevailing speech, if not in vergable, at best in pronunciation, is mongrel in character, is a very distinct contribution to the beauty of spoken language. It is a pity that so many Negroes themselves, scattering over the country, are losing the characteristic speech of their ancestors. In native wit and humor, not excepting the Irish among us, Negroes are the richest in America. They have given us the quintestest philosophy, finest humor, and keenest wit in absolutely ornament form. When asked if he could do a certain thing, an educated Negro, with his native ability to answer both humorously and forcefully, said: 'Boss, that's the one thing I can't do nothing else but.' The humorous philosophy of another was expressed in his remarks to a friend who was engaged in an alteration with a belligerent colored man who drew a gun and threatened to shoot. The colored by stander, when his friend was expostulating with the combatant to "fut up dat gun—doan shoot me wid dat thing" exclaimed "Jes le" 'im shoot!' Le 'im shoot of he wan's' you got de law on 'so side!" We are compelled to give very marked consideration to a race that despite the greatest handicaps has made progress in the ordinary walks of life common to all classes and in addition, has made distinctive and original contributions to their country in the vital phases of music (sacred and sacred), language, literature and humor. These things, unquestionably, the Negro people. If, within fifty years, considering the point from which they sarted, the difficulties which they had to overcome, the lifte or nothing expected of them, they have done so much—now, since they are coming into their own, to what extent may they achieve within fifty years? The difference between the Negro's relations position now and fifty years bounce will be much greater than that between what he is today and what he was when liberated from slavery. FULL COMPREHENSION OF BIBLE TEACHING WILL STOP LYNCHING EVIL FULL COMPREHENSION OF BIBLE TEACHING WILL STOP LYNCHING EVIL Preston News Service Preston. Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 17—The professed Christian: white people of the South claim they are bitterly opposed to lynching and ascribe the cause of the numerous outrages in the South and elsewhere in this country to the almost wholesale disregard for the principles laid down in the bible. The Presbyterian, in discussing the lynchery celtics in part: "Instead of implying that such evils are endorsed by Southern Christian people, it would be better to 'inquire into the cause and cure of the evil. "If there was prevailing among the people of our age a knowledge and reverence for the Bible as the Word of God and a rule of life, both for this world and the world to come, together with a sense of responsibility for obedience unto this rule of God, it would go far toward the correction of this evil among our evilers. So to say, many writers and speakers who with these social evils are seeking by appeal to scientific advantage and to common utility as the means of educating the people out of this social degradation. The trouble in the case is not the lack of knowledge, but the lack of motive. More information will not correct any of these social threatenings. The need for these conscience, conscience, and awareness be awakened only by a keener sense of God's reverence. These requirements are revealed in the Word of God, and especially in the moral law. But many of these humanitarian writers reject God's Word and God's law, and encourage others to do likewise. Consequently, there is a low state of responsibility among the people, and the brook of cruelty, impulse, unchaining general murder, unchaining unfathiableness, like evils, grow up a modern cultured rationalist in his rejection of the Word and Law of God is doing more to break down the social life and increase the crime of our times than any other influence. We must get the people back to the Bible and submission there unto, of these evils will wax worse and worse until there is a fatal collapse." CHICAGO MEN FIGHT A PISTOL DUEL TO DEATH Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, M. Sept. 13—A death duel in which two men emptied their revolvers into each other's body and then staggered together in a final grapple that ended with the death of a locked gun. The victim embraced doubt before a crowd, estimated at nearly 1,000 persons, here. As the combatants lay on the sidewalk, the crowd, whipped into a frenzy by the cries of the mother of one of the slain men, grew aggressive and a probable riot was averted only by a prompt arrival of more than one hundred people. Love Triangle Blamed. A "love triangle in which one of the duellists wooed the other's wife, lay behind the fatal clash. The two men met by agreement, each with drawn pistols, and fought with only a space between them, for the shooting began.

BASEBALL STARS' NEW PARK COMPTON and MARKET National Negro Baseball League Is Lop-Sided There Has Been No Regularity Or Equality In Number Of Contests This Year And A Percentage Comparison Is Impossible. Only Seven Series Have Been Played In St. Louis By Four Clubs. Three League Teams Have Not Appeared Here. St. Louis baseball fans have been anxious to see published the standing of clubs in the National Negro Baseball League. "The Argus has refrained from carrying the "stapling" because of its absolute lack of meaning. The booking of teams this season has been extemperaneous; games have apparently been scheduled to meet the convenience of the clubs. There has been no regularity or equality in arranging contests and any comparison is impossible. There can be no actual placing of teams in the pennant race unless each team plays all other teams an equal number of games." This of course is not the case in the Negro league this season. St. Louis, for instance, has not seen Detroit, Cleveland, or Pittsburgh. Indianapolis Kansas City and the Cubans have made two trips here, while the Chicago American Giants have only played one series in St. Louis. There has been no "Official" standing of teams issued, because there is none, yet some papers continue to deceive the fags with a make believe. The Associated Negro Press issued a "National League Standing" this week which is incorrect in the number of games played. In the case of Detroit, as an example, the press report reads: Won 38, Lost 25, Percentage 663. The direct report of the Detroit officials, to the Argus, reads: Won 38, Lost 25, Percent 58. The following is the press report on the standing as sent out by the Associated Negro Press, September 9th. Club W. 1. Pct.

Batchman, St. Louis correspondent to the Associated Negro Press, covers the baseball situation thoroughly. For The Associated Negro Press ST. LOUIS, Mo. Sept. 16. Some years before the advent of the present organization the writer predicted in an article to the Indianapolis Press that the time was ripe for and would see a National Negro base ball League. When men who were finally decided to make the step, Mr. Foster, being largely the pioneer in the game, took the lead and has accomplished much for the good of Negro baseball assisted as he has been by some of the best sportsmen in the country. However, there is much yet to be done before the game will yield the best results to the owners and the players get the chance for development they deserve. The people who this city is a reliable barometer to measure the pride taken in racial ties as shown by the immense crowds with the contests at the Star Park have the impression to a very great extent, whether rightfully or wrongly, that they are not given the measure of consideration which is their just due in the allotments of feature games. In other words, the impression is far too general that in the conduct of league affairs as at present handled - at least this season - their desires have not been carefully considered by the league officials. In the allotment. While it is true, the local team did a great deal of traveling during the early part of the season, it is equally true local followers of the game feel that it requires a long stretch of the imagination to find a logical reason for the fact, that Stars schedule of games, especially since their Park without doubt the finest financed by Negroes in the League, has had to depend temporarily on outside exhibition games which draw only small crowds to fill, the gap caused by what they consider faulty schedule making. Unequal Number of Games A survey of the, percentage tabled Sept. 2 shows that there is a too great disparity in the number of games shown in the standing as played by the various teams. Some teams have had the benefit of great many league games. As the teams stand, Chicago has been in over 46 league games Kansas City, over 65 Indianapolis over 75. Detroit over 65. Pittsburgh over 37. Cleveland over 65. Pittsburgh over 37 and St. Louis a bare 34. It is evident with an eight club league though park conditions might not have been all that could have been desired good management would dictate that the schedule should provide an arrangement by reason of which the number of league games played during the season should be more equal in number among the teams. This would mean greater interest in the race by the fans and a bigger bank roll for the management of the teams. There is scarcely any doubt that much of the lack of interest in the week day games by the fans, is contributed to by their knowledge that the league race is not ideal as to arrangement and this faulty arrangement—many of the action in such a business organization—has much to do with lein bank rolls and other short comings which the bankers of the league, have the wherewith to overcome. The fans are with the teams there is no doubt of that; but it is easily possible to place the game on a much higher plan during the coming year than it has been during the past. Two Much Chicago There is considerable of the idea of to run to Chicago prevalent, in street corner talk. The situation is some- what of the order of that existing relative to the Yankees and Giants of the other fellow's organization. The fans feel that Mr. Foster ought to get out of town more with his team and display his wares in the open offender. The cry in this city is for a game with Mr. Foster's American Giants, yet St. Louis, now one of, if not the best backed teams in the circuit, has at this writing been denied the sight of Mr. Foster's warrior's. No one here knows how good or bad they are. The season is far advanced and money is here waiting for the league teams to pick it up, but it will have to be done by means of a full schedule. Want Colored Umpires Want Colored Umpires The advisability of using colored umpires will not down. The reasons given for not doing this do not seem at all to be convincing to the average fan. It is a fact that the "Umpires" used are not men of superior ability while it is equally true that the crop of players who leave professional ball because of age is steadily growing. It is easily conceivable that among these are several men of ability who would be a credit to the official staff of the league. There are others who have seen many years of service or the college athletic fields of the country, who would acquit themselves with credit to the game. An "Ump" is a Czar on the field, and it is not any too pleasing a spectacle to the average fan to have to winners, this authority vested in white men—and this is said without an lota of prejudice—when capable colored men are denied so many opportunities. It is time for Negro business controlled by Negro capital and seeking Negro patronage to realize that if the Negro is big enough for a venture, there are other Negroes seeking opportunities who are capable of filling the minor positions at his disposal. The National Negro League is a thing which will prosper. It is to be hoped it will make those rapid strikes in the right direction which all well wishers of the game are pulling far.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "America Faces the Future" By Durant-Drake. Published by The MacMillim Con New York City Price $2.50. Postage 10 cents extra. I have already noted more than one book on the general subject of the United States with a chapter devoted to the Negro. This volume, "America Faces The Future," is such a book and one in which we can rejoice. The writer is a Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College and we congratulate the students who sit under so same a man. "We are far too prone to brag of our achievements and too little disposed to acknowledge our shortcomings," the writer says of Americans and acknowledges that his book is one of criticism and warning. "But he ends, 'the picture must not be too dark. We have not yet fully realized our fathers' dreams, but, on the whole, we have done well.'*** Great potentials for good lie in professional associations, in trade unions, in other orizations along vocational lines. *** Two things we must cease to be afraid of, unrest and agitation." The book itself, in its quiet way, is full of agitation in its condemnation of our courts. Its plan for greater democracy in labor, its call for more and better education. We who used to be close to the top are far down the list now among the educated peoples of the earth. Politically we are often dishonest, and our poverty is tragic. "If between sixty and seventy per cent of working class' families were living in 1900 on less than a fair living wage, it is probable that more than seventy per cent were so situated in 1920."

Recent investigations seem to indicate that there is no great difference in average mental ability between of the Negroes as every backward race, the members of the white, red yellow, brown and black races. If biological investigations are trustworthy it would seem that the apparent lower capacity is to be explained mainly, if not altogether, by the absence of an environment favorable for development." Professor Drake goes on to show how the Negro is deprived of an education and is often prevented from improving his economic condition. "The return of Negro soldiers from the war with its broadening outlook, the growing appreciation of the economic value of the Negro in a time when farm labor is increasingly source, the work of a few endowed Negro schools, and of such bodies as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, offer hope for alleviation of an intolerable condition." And he ends by saying: We must respect them and cause to look upon them as inferior." These words seem more trivialisms and they are an immense advance upon such kindly books as Professor Shaler's of twenty years ago. The world does move a gait for at too slow and jerky a gait for most of us. Probably it moves on the Negro question because the Negro himself so fast that it is impossible any longer in higher education among the young people of the race is amazing. They are crowding to our colleges. Where one went twenty years ago, twenty go today. Their years are felt and their ability known. It is no longer possible to use the old argument that Negroes are unable to develop after they pass the age of fourteen. Too many have progressed to make such a statement carry any weight even with the most prejudiced. The people of America are beginning to learn the true facts regarding the Negro, and these facts are getting into books like Professor Drake's. And since the volume is arranged in the form of a text book, THE NEW YORKER Silveroid The Ordinary Free C O EVERY PERSON SENDING IN SUBSCRIPTION it is all the more important that it looks upon the race question with something of justice.
