An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XI NO. 23 ANTI-LYNCH BILL SEEMS IN DANGER Leaders Fear It May Not Be Voted On During Present Session And Will Go To The Pigeon Hole. REPUBLCANS' NEW ALIBI Want To Get Out For Fall Election. Say Democrats Will Prevent Adjournment If Bill Is Pressed. Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 20 - The DYER ANT-LYNCHING BILL, if not beaten in an open vote, by the senate is more than likely to be lost in an upper house pigeon hide. There is small chance of its being considered for a vote this session of Congress. The national legislature will adjourn on the 23rd of September if the tentative plans of the bodies are carried out. This will preclude a consideration of the Dyer measure at this session. Leading colored political leaders have pleaded in vain with the leaders of Senate concerning the passage of the measure. National representatives of Negro organizations have received the pledges of most of the big men in Congress that they favor the passage of the bill. Senator Lodge is among that number. Senator Johnson, of California prior to the California primaries, expressed his belief in it also. In the Senate, he said that the Republican side of the Senate have declared their intention to support the measure whenever it came up for a vote. Time alone will tell whether these avowals are more "bank" or not. Many prominent colored men affect to believe that if the bill is not passed at this session that a good long night is in prospect before it will be adopted for the national statutes. It is pointed out that the Negro Press, through its national organization, has practically threatened to take of its coat and go to the polls. The national senator will show a grunt against the adoption of this cut of anti-lynching legislation. Republican Allies The Senate's alibi is to be found in the following statement of a Senator who does not desire his mime to be mentored at this time. He says: "Republican leaders in the Senate have practically agreed not to bring up the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill at this time. We have the threat of Southern Democrats to conduct a prolonged filibuster against it. While the Dyer Bill was on the programme, as agreed upon a short time ago by the Republican steering committee of the Senate, for action at this session, its elimination has been found necessary by a consuming desire of the Republican leaders to adjourn Congress, early so as to get out of the Senate and be summoned by Democratic squares in the position that they have threatened to prevent any adjournment if the Dyer Bill is passed." It is agreed on every hand that the anti-lynching bill is one of the most irritating pieces of legislation which has ever been before Congress. It was introduced in the house in keeping with a clause in the Republican platform. It passed the House after a spiedal debate and has been kicked about the Senate for some time. Democrats senators charge it is merely a bid for the colored votes, of the country. It was reported to the Senate on July 28, by Senator Shortridge, California, acting chairman of the judiciary committee. BOMB FOUND IN BLACK WAN EACTORY AT N. Y.

The St. Louis Argus John T. Risher Given This Amount For Best Method And Plans For Making And Keeping Records Of The Navy. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 29—Mr. T. Risher, colored, formerly of Jackson Mississippi, has just been awarded a prize of one thousand dollars by the United States Government for offering the best method and plans for making and keeping the records of the navy. Mr. Risher began as a messenger in the navy department about 12 years ago at $50.00 per month, but by diligent effort worked himself up to be chief of the Muster 'Roll Division of the United States Navy. The method of keeping the records of navy heretofore have practically been those used by the navy sixty years ago, but the great increase of our navy has made the war more difficult. We old plans which unlabeled to the navy's great increase. Mr. Risher had given this subject special study for some time, and therefore called attention of the naval heads to the fact that he could suggest methods that would greatly relieve the situation. So the Board of Admirals offered a prize of one thousand dollars to any naval officer who could explain a method. One hundred and five naval officers submitted plans and competed. The board of Admirals sat for more than a week and heard the different methods explained; finally adopted the Risher plan. Congress appropriated two hundred thousand dollars for installing the Risher plans, which, it is said, will mean a saving to the government of more than seven hundred thousand dollars annually. Through this demonstration the hundred-year-old officer was motivated by the department on a moment's notice, while heretofore, it took many days, and some times months to locate a sailor. Rapid Growth Of Fraternity Life Taking Deep Root. New Chapter Alpha Phi Alpha Established At Denver. 42 Chapters Now Organized. DENVER, Col. Sept 20—The Alpha Jots Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, comprising the university Colorado College, has just been set apart at Denver, Colorado by attorney Claude A. Jones, of Kansas City, Kansas, who bore cremations from the National President of the Fraternity, Simeon S. Booker, of Baltimore Maryland, and, National Secretary, Norman L. Methue, of Washington, D. C. Attorney Jones was assisted in connection with the establishment of the Roy A. W. Fatha H. E. Balming, Harold Brown Manhattan and White, members of the Fraternity residing in that section. Most, impressive ceremonies were conducted by the representatives of the Alpha Phil Alpha in establishing the first chapter of the Fraternity in the State of Colorado. Much storied was shown by the college men who composed the group applying for all honors. The chapter is composed of the Alpha Jaffa chapter is composed of the leading Negro college men attending the schools comprising the chapter. The chapter roll is as follows: James D. Hine, president; Charles D. Taylor, vice president; Aristide Grant Chapman, Secretary; Morgan Maxwell, Cor. Secretary; William D. Fountah, Treasurer; Charles L. Howard, Chapman, Arms; the other members being Valuaries B. Spratling J. A. Waltner, Uccell Maxwell and Theodore M. Von Dickersohn. That the fraternity idea has taken deep root in the life of Negro college men and women in the United States is evidenced by the continued growth and expansion of fraternity organizations among this group in the American colleges and universities. Beginning in 1806 with the founding of the Alpha Phi Alpha College, University, in New York City, these organizations national Greek letter college fraternities, three college sororities, three men's professional fraternities, and two women's professional sororities among Negro college men and women. It is of interest to note that with the exception of the Alpha Phi Alpha and the Kappa Alpha Pai each of these fraternities and securities has its origin among the students of Howard University. The rapid growth of fraternity life among Negro college students is indicated by the large number of fraternities and securities have at the leading colleges and universities throughout the United States. The Alpha Phi Alpha, the oldest fraternity among Negro college men, has a chapter roll numbering 42, having a chapter at practically every important college and university in the United States surviving from Harvard University at the time of its founding in 1806. The Alpha Phi Alpha, which is the oldest among Negro college men, has no chapter. The many fraternities among Negro college men, which was established by Lawrence University in 1806 as a roll of some 120 colleges, has no chapter. The Alpha Phi Alpha, the second most active to be established in the United States. Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST.

COLORED WOMAN WHITE WOMEN IN FATALLY INJURED CUTTING SCRAPE BY AUTOMOBILE ABOUT NEGRO MAN RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 20—Special Correspondence—the bellows attitude of the Negro vote in this State has brought to life a sinner disposition to give serious study to the actual political position which the Negro holds at the present time in American life. It will be remembered that whatever changes the Republicans had to elect their candidate in last year's contest for Governor of the State were killed by the action of the colored voters when they put into the field their own race candidate for the honor. This action frightened the wavering white vote that had all but jumped over into the Republican band wagon of the Protective Tariff issue, and, as a result, the old time Democratic authorities were piled up for that ticket much to the chargin of that element of Republicans in the North who have been holding to the dream of a "Balance of power" threatening, imminent, and actual is the new "Rogic" and resulfit the last strap upon which the "Negro Domination" fear of the South feeds obliged to cling to. Added to this is the fact that the Negra is beginning "to feel his outs"—whatever that might mean. Perhaps this can be understood best by keeping in mind that the Negroes in Virginia paid the expenses of their contesting debate.

Comment was made because no few colored were present at what was called the opening of the City Republican campaign plenum. gates to the 1920 convention at Chicago. Compiling this bit of political history with the information that they financed and conducted their own campaign in the governorship fight one can get a pretty fair idea why the political power of the Negro is fast becoming a matter of somewhat serious concern. There is no question of doubt that the Virginia Negro is "mad" all-over. His wealth is increasing by leaps and bounds. This new possession is giving him a fine sense of social and political responsibility. He is beginning to determine the ship name of matriarchal women and after own number of thinking "tide Tom" is dead as four door mails. It is being recognized by even the bolder and more radical elements among the Negroes in this state that the Bristol product of Negro "tizen-bir" is not wholly here at the present time. "But he is far advanced in the making." They assert. "We don't want Social Intimacy. What we are after is Social Independence. Political Equality. Economic Equality, and by all that's" fair or fault, finally we are going to have all of these things. It must be agreed that this is big stuff.

Credit is due to the Prince George County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. as well as to the co-operation of the District of Columbia branch, for the favorable outcome of this celebrated case. From the time of the arrest the Prince George County Branch used every means to keep in touch with the case as it progressed, while the Washington Branch during his incarceration in the District of Columbia, observed closely the third degree process as it was used to force a confession from Keller and instituted steps when extradition proceedings were begun to have him released. When this failed, and he was carried to Upper Marlboro, Md., the District of Columbia Branch, advised by the Prince George County Branch, was instrumental in interesting the State's Attorney, Mr. Kline. From information furnished by the Chairman of the Legal Committee, Mr. James A. Cobb, Mr Kline took up the matter. On invitation of the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb appeared at the first hearing in May, reviewed the evidence with the State's Attorney's office and was called in consultation when final reports were made by Maryland detectives and was successful in convincing them that evidence was lacking to further hold Keller. In the last conference with Justice of Peace, J. A. Joyce and the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb was advised of the discharge of the prisoner and was asked to give assurances that when Keller was discharged he would not become a charge upon the State. Mr. Cobb assented to the proposition. Punts were furnished by the District of Columbia Branch for the transportation of Keller to his home in Summerville, S. C.

Twenty-Five Singers And Dancers In "The Eastern Gate." At Odeon Oct. 12-13 When Grace Norton Rose and Jack Manley Rose collaborated in writing "The Eastern Gate," an oriental fantasy with music, and produced it at The Playhouse in New York they had no idea that it would become an instantaneous success. Still less did they dream that it would be later presented by Biff of the dregest artists in America at the Oregon in St. Louis America at the Odison in St. Louis, Thursday and Friday, Oct. 12 and 13 under the direction of the Urban League. The twenty-five speaking parts will be augmented by twenty-five singers and dancers. There are four excellent comedy roles which have been assigned to well known comedians. The story in brief, of "The Eastern Gate" tells of an American girl who in choosing between two lovers, one of whom is of her own nationality and the other an oriental, lets the climactic horror of a dream influence her decision. The prologue and epilogue are concerned with realities, but the three acts are in the Chinese settings of her dream, before and within "The Eastern Gate," where she encounters the weird, fascination of the Orient in all its traditional brilliancy and cruelty. Mrs. Ethel Bowles in appropriate costume will portray the character of the American girl, choosing between Mr. Wm. O. McMahon, a typical American and Mr. John M. Langston, her oriental suitor. Mr. Wm. H. Huffman, who will be remembered in the part of "Mr. Sin" last year will show to better advantage this year as "Hi Am Sum" owner and head of the vast Chinese estate near "The Eastern Gate." Mrs Perle Alexander Phillips as "Foo Lac Sum" has an unusual opportunity to delight the audience with her charming voice and her histrionic art. Mrs Edna Phillips as "Dit To Sum," the Chinese wife, commands an oriental dignity and respect which will prove delightful to the audience. The names of other characters will be told in succeeding issues. The public is advised to secure reserved seats and boxes at once in order to avoid the rush as tickets for both performances are now selling rapidly —Ad.

The show opens with the usual company chorus and at once wins approval. The first feature is called "Down and Out," a character study of the unfortunates who are never given a helping hand after one false tip. It carries a moral. Jackson, Jos. Jones and others appear to advantage in this piece. A series of specialities follow, including the girls in fifty song and dance numbers; and Jones in a humorous monologue on "Making Love." The locale of the first part is a hotel, where Jackson as "M. Bam" is the source of continuous fun. He is unable to sleep without dreaming, and his dreams are of a variety which runs from pretty dancers to rats crawling up the walls, trouble with an Indian Warrior, domestic squabbles and even tragedy. These features are worked out by other members of the company and the audience is favored with some good entertaining as well as rip roaring comedy. The show closes with a lively song and dance assemble. VAUDEVILLE NEXT WEEK. Four top-match acts, three doubles and a single, will make up the next week's show at the Booker Washington Madam Theatre Brute, assisted by Mr Skinner, will be heard in a high class singing act.

Alma Rogues will be, seen at the Comet Theatre this Saturday in "Find The Woman." It is a murder mystery in which suspicion points to two women. The baffling puzzle of who is the guilty one forms a thrilling and absorbing photodrama. On Sunday, Dorothy Dalton, will be presented in "The Crimson Challenge." A Western picture in every sense of the word, it is packed with thrills, opportunities, since it calls for her to portray the courageous, fearless type of woman who leads the settlers of an oppressed valley, against a man who preys upon the pygrels-ustil their cattle and perpetrates all kinds of outrages. And at the conclusion she joins him in a two-gun battle rids the valley of its oppressors and incidentally a vengeous the murder of her father at the villain's shams. "Borderland" on Monday, "Salvation Nell" on Tuesday and "Divorce Coupons" on Wednesday are other special features. The Special attraction for next Thursday and Friday will be "The Oath" featuring Miriam Cooper. As the story goes, A series of fast ming, interesting circumstances has in involved High Colman in a situation where his conviction for murder is absolutely certain unless he breaks an oath given to his wife whom he has secretly married. But there is another woman he has loved. Although her love has been given to his dearest him, she makes the greatest sacrifice a woman can make to save High from the gallows and succeed. The scene is one of the strongest ever put into a motion picture production and the tangled net which results from her action in the lives of four persons provides a most absorbing battle-like story. Reported Missing. "A Poor Relation" And "The Glory of Clemetina"—Star. Owen Moore will be presented in 'Reported Missing' at the Star Theatre this Saturday and Sunday. The story concerns the efforts of an Ornamental shipping king to gain control of a fleet of ships upon which Owen Moore, Richard Boyd, has an option. In order that young Boyd's options will lapse the wily Chihuahuan arranges to have him shanghailed—and then the fun begins. The thrilling scenes include a shipwreck, a race between a hydro-airplane and a sea sled and a terrific fight in the stronghold of the Oriental villain. A feature for Monday will be Will Rogers in "A Year Relation," the picture is the film version of the stage play of the same name that has been successfully performed for the just thirty-one years. It brought fame to its author Edward E. Kidder as well as to the late Sol Smith Russell, who created the title role and acted it for many years. Bebe Daniels in "The Speed Girl" of Tuesday and Alice Lake in "Kisses," Wednesday, are good features. Pauline Frederick will be presented in "The Glory of Clementina" on Thursday and Friday. The story has to do with the rejuvenation of an artistic genius who in the pursuit of fame has stifled every natural instinct within her. "She begins dowdy and temperamental. At last a strange baby's touch and the music of its cry reawakens her sleeping hopes of wifehood and motherhood. Franklyn Farnum In "The Galloping Devil" At The Retina Franklyn Farum will be featured in "The Galloping Devil" at the Renna Theatre on Sunday. It is a pictureurization of the adventures of an easy-going peace-loving cowboy who seldom carries a gun and has a reputation for avoiding arguments and the fights they often lead to in the Western country preferring to entertain himself and his camarades with amusing tales of wild adventures of the past, in which he usually figures as the hero.

"the Dictator" And "The Silent Call." At Criterion Wallace Reid will be seen in "The Dictator" at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. The story shows how a young American falls in love with the pretty daughter of a South American "iterator" follows her south and there becomes embroiled in a resolution of which her father Is the instigator, not knowing that his own father, the banana king, is on the other side for business and political reasons. He wins the revolution, the girl and his father's profound respect after a series of exciting adventures which fairly brim with suspense, mystery, fighting and delightful humor. On Sunday, "The Silent Call" will be presented. The stry has a dramatic plot that involves a number of human actors and also the characterization of a remarkable dog, half wild and half domesticated, famous police police dog domesticated, enacted by Strongheart, the most famous police dog in the entire world. The background of the story is the High Sierra mountain region which has been transferred to the screen in all its magnificent glory. The players in the cast include John Bowers, Kathryn McGuire, James Mason and William Dyer. "A Self Made Man" And "The Golden Flame," The Casino William Russell will be presented in "A Self Made Man" at the Casino Theatre this Saturday. The film describes the adventures of a young man who is sole heir to his father's fortune. The son drives a fast car and studies art with a capital A, but has little use for business. He breaks into the newspaper headlines because of his peculiar exploits and his father, in an angry moment disowns him. Then his sweet-heart turns him down. The future seems black, but events prove him to be a go-getter, and he comes out at the top of the heap. Some to the big punches in the film are a boxing match, a trained bear who "swings a wicked mitt," and a lively mixup between the star and one of the other characters. William Russell goes through the picture on high, with all six cylinders running like clockwork. His is no lollypop portrayal. "On Sunday, the Cashio will present "The Golden Flame," a new Western thriller featuring William Farmanu's Double "Dick Hatton." It is in six parts. "The Seventh Day," "Our Leading Citizen," "And "The Wall Flower," "Al Olympia" Richard Barthelness in "The Seventh Day" will be the feature at the Olympia, Theatre this Saturday. The story deals with the lives of the Maine fishermen. Mr. Barthelness plays the role of a boy learning to become a sailor. The story revolves itself around the lives of the young sailor and a city, bred society girl. Thomas McWhan in "In Our Leading Citizen" will be the Sunday special. It is the story of a young lawyer in a small town, who is devoted to fishing and who, at the outbreak of the World War, collists and returns a hero, in France he meets again a girl he has admired back home. She returns first and paves the way for his reception, but his molesty prompts him to hate his light under a bushel. Finally he is caught and properly "received" by the populace. He is groomed for Congress but refuses to agree to certain current demands and learning, as he believes that the girl has urged him on to further her brother's ends, disappears from twen. Later he is brought back, with the election and under the girl who was always true to herself and to him.

"Her Husband's Trademnark." "The Good Provider" And "The Man From Home." At Lincoln *Gloria Swanson in-"Her Husband's Trademark"* will be featured at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday. It is founded on the strange wreed of a man, who believed that a show of wealth would attract wealth, and believing thus, gowned his wife in a most extravagant fashion. But he built his creed on a false assumption and his plans came tumbling down with such completeness that they resulted in his death. It all makes a strange man such story. Fearful, obstinate, tense. On Sunday, Vera Gordon and Bore Davidson will be seen in "The Good Provider." It was written by Faunde Hurst. It is the story of an over-indulgent father who gives his children every happiness he can possibly afford and who is rewarded by demands upon his pocket-book that drive him almost to desperation. His children love him but they have the heedlessness and optimism of youth that so often cause pain to the older. The picture is abundantly provided with laughable situations, humor that will strike home to every spectator. The feature next Thursday will be "The Man From Home." The scenes are laid in England, France and Italy and this aspect of the picture is beautiful in itself. The interpreting cast is headed by James Kirkwood, and in the cast are such favorites as Ama Q. Nilsson, Norman Kerry, Dorothy Cumming and John Miltern. Action, thrill and heart-interest follow each other in quick succession and the ending is a happy one.

Recently, the membership was encouraged by the statement of the Second Assistant "P. M." General that colored clerks would be given a square deal. There are about 2000 colored men in the railway mail service and extra efforts are being made to get them into this fraternity. At present only railway mail service employees are available to membership, but it is expected that the next biennial convention which meets in Fort Worth, Tex. in July 1923, will provide for admission of all colored letter carriers, post office clerks, truck drivers and post office laborers, thereby making possible a great serviceable organization of nearly 25,000 members.

Back of these problems lies the whole question, of the status of the Islands under the treaty with Denmark through which they were purchased. A committee from Congress which visited the Islands in 1819 made a report on conditions and recommended sweeping changes in the methods of administering them, most of which have been adopted by Congress or by the President who has the sole power of administration under existing law. As a result of the inactivity of the officials at Washington, an agreement has been reached between organizations in the Virgin Islands, the Virgin Islands Civil Rights Association, in New York where over 400 Virgin Islanders reside, and the American Civil Liberties Union to adopt a scheme in the form of a bill to be presented to Congress. Before such legislation can be secured, an attempt will be made to get an executive order from the President to put into effect the main provisions of the scheme. The Civil Liberties Union has appointed a special committee to draft proposals with A. A. Bertie, Jr., a New York lawyer, as chairman. A tentative outline of plan of administration and citizenship has already been submitted to the labor unions and other organizations in the Islands in order to get their views. An organization is being formed in the Islands to back the proposed bill. THE HOUSE THAT SHOWS THE BEST PICTURES AT POPULAR PRICES ENT CALL' Strongheart's the star—and what a dog!

College Frat Among Negroes Continued From Page One since its organization in 1911 increased its roll to 20 chapters. The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority since its organization in 1913 has carried its influence, to many of the leading co-educational institutions throughout the United States, having now a chapter roll of 19. The youngest of the national college fraternities is the Phi Beta Sigma. Its youth, however, has not interfered with its influence and growth as it has since its founding in 1914 set apart 20 chapters at various colleges and universities. The same is base of the youngest sorority, the Zeta Phi Beta, which was organized in 1820 and which, now has seven chapters. There has also been rapid growth among the professional fraternities and sororities. Perhaps one of the most helpful activities of the fraternities and sororities is the coming together of their regimentations each year in annual conventions. This affords opportunity for the flowers of the Negro race from the various sections of the United States to be presented with each other and formulate sympathetic goals and definite goals to race development. All these conventions not only do the purpose and purpose of sororities in their own race, but also do the purpose and purpose of their sororities in their own race.

This is the "balance of power" bugging rumplings about the field of Old Virginia kicking up a considerable and disastrous amount of real political dust. And it belongs to the front that quite startling fact that a dollar carefully directed will have its social and political way without it coming from the pawn of a black cow white.

He was Lodge, Shortridge, McCormick and a host of other who have promised their support of the bill? We reed from time to time why it was that one democrat Representative in Congress always seem to have so power and influence in their official capacity than national members in that body.

No one in political sense will think for a moment that it institutional for the Congress of the United States to protection of the citizens.

According to a report from Washington, the anti-linching bill was reached on the Senate's calendar September 9th. And immediately Senator Fletcher, democrat of Florida objected and the sponsors of the bill yelided and the matter was "passed up" or turned down for lack of some one to champion its cause. This news is somewhat disappointing to those who had hoped that the bill would pass the Senate during the present session of Congress. But the real burning question which is uppermost in the minds of the 'public is: Where were the supporters of the bill? Where were those strong Republicans who have professed so much interest in the bill? Of course, we expected that opposition would come from the South. Senator Fletcher did just what was expected of him. But where was Lodge, Shortridge, McCormick and a host of other Republicans who have promised their support of the bill? We have wondered from time to time, why was it that one democrat Senator, or Representative in Congress always seem to have so much more power and influence in their official capacity than the Republican members in that body. And while we have noted this to be the case in all matters affecting the Negroes yet it is becoming generally accepted as a matter of fact. No one with a grain of political sense will think for a moment that it is unconstitutional for the Congress of the United States to provide protection of the citizens. The truth of the matter is, those who are opposed to the anti-lynching bill, (individuals and newspapers) want lynching to continue in the United States for a season. They want to extend the license of the mobs of the South to lynch at will. It being understood that the victims shall be a Negro, man, woman or child. To lynch-burn-mob-murder a Negro at will is a "hobby" of the white South. The representatives from this section are as a rule, willing to grant a confession to their colleagues just so long as nothing is done by the way of Federal laws which will rob them of their "hobby horse." This raises the question in our mind as to whether a trade has been made to the effect, that the South may continue to lynch, provided her representatives support other pet measures that the North is more interested in than the question of the mere lynching of a few thousand Negroes. These are some of the points that should be given careful consideration by the Negro voter while the Senate dilly dally over the anti-lynching bill now before that body. HARVARD UNIVERSITY DISCRIMINATES There is much speculation amongst the people of this nation as to the meaning of certain movements at Harvard University, which looks like that institution has at last bowed down to that master, race and religious prejudice. It is hard for us to reason that a school of long and high standing as that of Harvard would find it necessary to stoop to such acts in order to exist. Race and religious intolerance have no rightful place in America. The surest way to wreck any free institution is to cultivate such prejudices. It will be remembered that this discrimination started like most of this kind of mischief with the Negro. Then the Catholics and now the Jews—What next? WEED OUT AND KEEP OUT The Democrats are trying to extradite themselves from under the load of the Ku Klux Klan. Their cries for relief remind us of the biblical expression, "deliver me from this dead body." Just as the biblical dead body was tied to the man who slew it, as a torment, so the Democratic party finds the Ku Klux Klan about its neck at this time. The Ku Klux Klan was born in a rock ribbed Democratic State and has been nurtured on the bosom of the Democratic Party. The object being to create a powerful organization which would terrorize, intimidate and bring the Democratic party into national power, but thank goodness, it is proving a boomerang to the democrats, and now we find such men as Jim Reed and Harry Hawes denouncing the Ku Klux Klan. This should be a lesson to some of the members of the Board of Aldermen of this City who, we are informed are flirting with the Ku Klux. The Democratic party is doing well to weed out the hooded Klan and the Republican party will do better to keep out the K. K. K. SPEAK UP! AMERICAN LEGION If any body thinks the war is over, they should read a letter sent Mayor Kiel by John C. Meyers protesting against the appearance in this City of M. Clemenceau former premier of France who played a conspicuous part in defeating Germany. We have pricked ears to hear what the American Legion will have to say about the matter. He that gives up $ _{2} $ has acknowledged defeat. "Libel" says Phil Brown when confronted with charges of "double-dealing" in connection with handling advertising for the Republican National Committee. What else could he say. He would be a big tool to incriminate himself. What do you think of this? Senator Reed says R. R. Brewster is a trickster because Mr. Brewster suggested that they both state their position on the liquor question at the same time. We consider it a compliment to Mr. Brewster to elicit such an expression from a past master at the game. A colored vaudeville actor once started a joke concerning folks being either men or monkeys. Men originate and construct—monkeys simulate and destroy. Negroes can't get away from an imitation of white men to certain extent. The racial characteristics originally had been lynched and scared out of our slave ancestors before enamulation gave us the opportunity to preserve any of it. Outside of the general ethical standards of the "white man's civilization however, there is no reason why our leading men should blindly imitate white men. White men, with all their coping of ancient civilization, imitations of ancient ancestors are sad, we are not the organizer of a workable arrangement for general human business. The world and every human community in it NEEDS an original idea of human relationship. American Negroes being the closest to the whites, and having absorbed the white man's standards through a black man's consciousness, have the greatest opportunity of all races for evolving and practicing a new idea and a new principle of human relationship. But MEN are required to do new things, not monkeys. (ianer. Readers of the attacks on Garvey, I and generally interpret the activities of the attackers as using based more on a desire to get rid of Garvey than to the race any particular good. Public opinions are formed, willy-willy. Some able men are after Garvey—men with reputations for both honesty and brilliancy, but as a rule, the public's opinions are not entirely wrong. White men, for about three hundred years have been telling the world what darker races and black individuals CANNOT do. Very rarely do white men tell what the darker men CAN do. Attack on Garvey apparently, is being conducted absolutely on the white principle of DENSTROYING THE EFFECT OF AN EVIL INSTEAD OF GIVING THE WORLD A GOOD THING TO KILL THE EVIL'S CAUSE. Destruction. That is a reminder. Dr. Du Bois has written two very scholarly articles concerning Lincoln's shortcomings and disadvantages. There's no doubt of the truth of Dr. Du Bois' statements but most people doubtless, will feel that such truths would be well left untold at this time. There remains no middle ground for comparison, however. One holds in a comparison between Du Bois shortcomings and the shortcomings of Lincoln. Although Dr. Du Bois has probably made a big mistake in his Lincoln articles his mistakes are not so great as to be irreparable and are no excuse for the destructive instincts of colored editors to allow them to throw muck. Ecotism in a man of Du Bois attalments is natural and his ego has not led him into a sufficiently great way to effect an appropriate degree the good things he has done. Even a tool can destroy great things, characters included, and reputation—but intelligence is required for building BEREAN S. S. CONVENTION QUARTERLY INST., SUNDAY AT KIRKWOOD 2ND BAPT.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced thru its Secretary, James Wesley Johnson, the receipt of a letter from Mr. Golay. General Secretary of the International Bureau of Peace, with headquarters at Berne, Switzerland, stating that that organization at its Twenty-Second Congress held in London, July 25-29, adopted the following resolutions. "The International Bureau of Peace is asked to join on the Agenda of the next International Peace Congress the question of relations of the white and colored races." His letter further states that the Bureau was directed to communicate this resolution to the governments of the world, to the delegates to the Assembly of the League of Nations, and to all institutions interested in the question.

ARE YOU A "PINGH HITTER!" During these feverish baseball days when the fates seem to be against St. Louis often at the crucial moment in the 9th inning a "pitch hitter" is put in for the purpose of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. It is obvious that the pinch hitter must possess certain qualities which ordinary players do not have. He must first of all be "noel. Delibrate. Quick and all of eye. He must have already figured out how to close his hips the ball. He must be a man known to have Hit under similar conditions. He can not blow up a crucial moment, else he would be no good in the pinches. He is the one man when everything else has gone wrong who holds the salvation of his team and the fans in his hands, head, and heart! Are you a "pinch hitter"? Suppose you are up against a stiff proposition when the eyes of all the fans are turned upon you, the whole community looks on, throws battles of poison, deceit and scorn at you. It is an easy matter to Hit successfully, during times of prosperity but can you Hit when dull times come around? Do you like to tackle a tough job and fight for victory when everybody says it can't be done? It takes Forethought. Judgment Decision and Clear Vision to Hit the ball in life. If you possess these qualities you can Hit in the piles, well as when you have a five score margin in your favor. Pew men can Hit in the pinches. The reason is easy to explain. It is simply a matter of Hit and miss when they are batting. To Hit in the pinches you must Hit hard every day! Hilim With Your Judgment, Character, Vision, and Preparedness! VISION, and pinch bitters, as you put on a pinch bitter, as KIPPIN, "Your trust with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same" -X01 can hear to hear the truth you're spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for foals" And, "Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!"

From The Louiseville Counter Journal Associated Negro Press For the whole country as well as for the South it is well that Cole Blease of South Carolina has been turned down. His rejection for the Governorship of South Carolina by Palmette Democracy is not less heartening than was the previous defeat of his co-demagogue James K. Vardanam, the alter ego of Southern in Michigan and Sidney in Florida, and already preceded them two co-representatives of Southern life into effacement. What manner of man is Mr. McCloud, who defied Boase, is not yet known to the country any more than what other caller of man is Mr. Stephens who husband not Vardaman. But Vardaman and Vardaman also knew. self-speaking Americans in rejoicing that Mr. Stephens and Mr. McCleod have been successful ..... The South may not yet be "out of the woods," but repudiation of men like Varduman and Bheise indicates that, after a long and bloody swat, the South now sights the "clearing." DR. SIMON F.

Pearl Ruby Perdeau Many people secure the office for which they aspire to the office that was made by the highest Executive of this great nation, President W. G Harding. In his "Speech of Acceptance" he said "I believe we should blot the stains of lynching from the name of fair America" and if I am elected President I will do all in my power to see that the colored citizens of the U.S. the millions of Negroes heard these words and with faith in the G. O. P. they stood as a solid phalanx (men and women) and helped to place, said party in the harness. Just how much of that promise has been kept by the party in general, the Negro citizens cannot see, nor can they now believe that the Republican Party will do the things that it has promised as far as the Negro citizens are concerned. The American Negro, must not, and does not, right from the Nation, that is opposed to the Constitution of the U.S. B. Blink and "Selling falsely is worse than blindness, and speaking falsely than silence" How clearly the white man sees the injustice beaped upon the Negro, and Justice remains blind to his Civil Economic and Political rights. Our President W. (1) Harding in his acceptance " of Acceptance" also said " I lobbied for Negro citizens of America should be granted the joyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship, that their sacrifices be honored cantified them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." Throughout the southland Negro men and women are lynched, driven from their houses and made to bear the savings of a lifetime or risk being lynched and Judge Lynch roundtable, lynch and barbery and the Administrator and not a word, "now at the hands of the Republican party we ask, and urge the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynchship Bill." The caesarean master mind, limit the Negro in his activities he is deemed a fair trial in the courts of the land, even Negro Juries are refused him. The Negro women demand the passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill "Before November" or some of the Senators aspiring for office will surely remain at home. The Negro women are sick, tired, weary, heart-sore and disgusted with the inactivity of the "Towers that Be" who promise every thing but a seat in Heaven when aspiring for office. Roosevelt said: "A man who is good enough to shed his blood or his life try is good enough to give his life deal afterward. More than that man is entitled to, and less than that man must have" "It is a good idea that the guard around the tomb of Lincoln should be composed of Negro soldiers" said Roosevelt, and only a few months ago, at the unveiling of the Monument of Lincoln segregation reigned supreme. How strange that it is not necessary to enact laws (special) to protect other citizens of the U. S. except the Negro even the alien is protected. Yet the Negroes is boasted fair America must urge the passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill to protect Life. Vice President Calvin Coolidge in his "Speech of Acceptance" said "There is especially due to the Negro race a more general recognition of their Constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty they remained loyal, serving the military forces with distinction obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thon-ands, investing one $1.00) dollar out every five ($3.00) per person in Liberty Roads they hold a double title to citizenship by birth and be conquest, and should be relieved from all imposition, and should be defended from lynching and be freely granted equal opportunities." Yet any fair minded person will admit that the Negro never receives Justice in any sense of the word. The Negro 'asks, for no favors because of his color, but he is knocking at the bar of justice asking for an equal chance. The spirit of our fathers demand that we stay here in America and protect the right, which their sacrifices brought for us. We have ceded to ask we demand the rights of American citizens and we will back it up with our suffrage. Pass the Deer Anti-Lynching Bill Before November. AUTUMN The skull did in the pine tops mourn.

Miller, Superintendent of the District of Columbia a certificate to the District of Columbia enabling the company to operate the company. This Company was organized a little more than a year ago and has made very rapid progress. It was the first strictly old line legal reserve life insurance company of our racial group to be organized in and licensed by the insurance department of a northern state, and it has begun active insurance operations during that period in the States of Ohio, West Virginia, Arkansas and in the District of Columbia. It has the further distinction of being the only company of our group which has produced, and presented to the American public a standard casualty policy.

THE NEGRO AND THE R. R. STRIKE Where Will The Colored Mechanics Land Who Stayed On The Job? Will They Be Given "Seniority"? CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 20—"Where will the Negro mechanics who remain on their jobs during the recent strike get off at now that the strike has been settled?" is in the minds of all who have a slightly more causal interest in the laborer and woman who are skilled and unskilled workmen, this country. Robert L. Mays, president of the Railway Men's International Association, has some interesting shings to advance regarding this matter. He believes that the Negro must be unusually alert at this time or else he will lose whatever he has apparently gained by reason of the shifting eventualities of the recent unpleasantness. He lay stress on the security of the situation. His reasons are shaped by the fact that the Negroes who staged on the job established their "seniority" in the sense designated by the unions themselves—veteran service against young service. He also calls attention to the fact that there are several hundred thousands of colored men and women employed by the railways as shopmen, maintenance of way and freight handlers, station, and warehouse laborers. While a good number of these people with the strike's eventuality stuck in the record according to the argument advanced by President Mays here is where they got the "seniority" jump on the strikers. "Organization of the Negroes" is the stern necessity of the moment as seen by Mr. Mays. "First it must be recognized," said the President of the colored men's International Association. "that the bulk of the several hundred thousand colored men and women in the railway service are composed of shopmen, maintenance of the way and the so-called railway, which means largely freight handlers, station and warehouse workers." "Second, people of our group are employed in largest numbers in the South-eastern and South-western section of the country. "Third, the Federated Shop Craft unions recently or now on strike do not take colored men and women into membership. "Fourth, there is on most roads a natural majority of white workers in these various crafts. The significance of this is that under established rules of labor practices, a majority of white workers on any road, have the right to make the going rates of pay or the general conditions of work by agreement with the respective management or the Labor Board." "Analyzing the foregoing facts and taking into consideration the amount of color prejudice that was shown prior to the strike, plus the fact that an unbelievable number of Negro employees were out with the white men. It is important to warn and to urge Negro employees to organize themselves for the strike." Porters waiters, and cooks who form the bibs of the colored people in the railway service in the North were not visibly affected by the strike and therefore not immediately related to the situations provoked into life by its intensive struggles. But their position in the determinations of the questions at general issue appear to be fixed by the "touch one you touch all," dictum of the present day spirit of the "Union" organizations. Hence, they are being urged to unique and stick by the service and their wages. The organization spirit seems to have made considerable headway among the colored men in these branches of the railway service. Actual antagonism to the admission of Negroes in the railway unions has crystalized, it is asserted, to the danger point so far as the Negro's affiliation with those unions is concerned. Open and firm avowal of this attitude is being assumed in all directions. There is no half heartlessness, whatsoever, in this connection. "No Negroes need apply" is unquestionably in the minds of all the union organizations attached to the railway service. This must be met, is declared by many colored men in the service, by counter-organization. The organization to work in union with other organizations wherever such action will be made to serve the common good and the common welfare. This is a protective measure taken with the view to putting a stop to the practice of using the Negro as a buffer between white discontented labor and the owners of the various railway companies: "If the Negroes are good enough to fill major and minor positions in the service during the periods of strikes they are fully good enough to receive substantial recognition when there are no striker in sight, appears to be the conclusion reached by Negroes in the service at present. Hence, the Union idea is gaining friends among the Negro elements of railway workers. President Mays of the Railway Men's International Association sup up this further phase of the situation as follows: "We are not anticipating that the white unions will take the 'many thousand colored men into membership. Consequently, at our annual convention in Chicago, the last Tuesday of this month, we hope to have representatives present from a majority of the shops throughout the country where colored men are employed, in order that policy of future action might be outlived. It is hoped the Intufa relations between white and colored workers will be improved as a result of the position taken by the colored men during the strike crisis." UR CHANCES FOR GETTING A HOME N'MOTHER'AFRICA Some Interesting Facts And Figures About Equatorial Africa And Why Europe Hangs On To It. British Empire And Colorophobia May Die Together If Mustapha Kemal Pasha Wins And Can Hold Constantinople And Straits. Diamonds mined in the Union of South Africa for the year 1916 toalled 277,826,691 worth. The West Coast of Africa is one of the great palm oil producing centers of the world. Copper production in the British African holding amounted. In the beginning of the World War, to 30,000 tons a year. The American Copper Handbook for 1918 states that more than 300,000,000 tons of copper has been proved in the Katanga district of Africa alone. The mining of copper in this district is so easy that it nets the controlling companies of the African copper industry $50 a ton. This makes the staggering sum of $105,000,000,000 of profits in the Katanga copper district alone! The whole history of Africa since a settlement by the Dutch East India Co. in 1652 of a Colony at Cape Horn has been a history of white men leading and commanding the labor of black Africans. In 1815 this first African Colony was ceded to Great Britain. At the international conference in 1885 the dividing of interior Africa between European governments began. The natives received far less consideration at this conference than did the hills and valleys of Africa. The ZUULU tribe of the Bantu family and some few families of Bechuana land were the only ones which had sufficient military organization and determination to make a temporary stand against the combined strength of the well cuprisoned armies of Europe. Raw products are the very life blood of nations. The African continent is an almost inexhaustible store house of every sort of raw material. Negro Status In Africa. Equatorial African. Negroes are laborers. A few tribal chiefs hold a relative position to "leading" colored Americans in our own south. They are never under any circumstances, considered the quals of white men. If Cape Town there are many streets where natives are not allowed to walk. In the Kimberley district native diamond mine workers are kept in compounds during their service in the mines. They are never allowed out of the compounds until their term of practically enforced labor is finished and when this occurs they are subject to several days search against the smuggling out of diamonds. A Possible Way Out. Colored men who served in France know the French attritude toward race. The same sort of propaganda which has told, and is still telling, the world that colored Americans are thieving, lying irresponsible, criminal imbeciles has been at work telling the Occidental world that the Turk is a murderous trickster. Dispatches state that there is a possibility of French concordance with plans of Kenal Pasal, brilliant Turkish leader and conqueror of Greece. Other news items cause us to believe that the British commonality is not keen for becoming cannon folder in pulling the British capitalists' chestnuts out of the Far Eastern free. With Egyptian independence, Indian unrest. French backing of the Turkish cause and Japanese demands in the south Pacifc there is just a bare possibility that the British power will be broken. If Kemal Pasha wish *Constitutio n a France Turkish Alliance* is made and British power is broken, colorado la is slead in the world. There will be some kicks from the Beast in the United States and England proper but the power behind the kick will be gone. Turks could not claim any right of race superiority if they wanted to. Every race our earth has contributed its blood to the Turkish as well as to most other "Mediterranean" races. France, during the world war, showed an entire absence of racial egotism. If Turkey Wins. ...If Turkish arms are successful on the Mediterranean and Constantinople, the key to the Orient is won. The Turkish government will need industrially trained men and new 'territory.' With the French policy as a guide the color of trained men will not count. It is probable that the entire Orient will n-t want any more than is necessary to do with Anglo-Saxons. Colored Americans who have 'ability and training might then see in Africa a "Land of Pride." Ever with the lure of race reunited, however there is only one part of the Emancipation African continent that can be considered as an ideal future home for occidental Negroes. North of Lake Tanzania, at Benghazi, is a country a little larger than Malawi. Most of it is 9,000 feet high with rolling grassland, banches on blacker canals, and groves and full of native snails.

One well informed writer says of it: "In such parts of Africa—Blackman's Africa or Equatorial Africa—the presidential woman is a nuisance and the man who takes his wife out to Africa with him is doing her an injustice." Garveyites down South can easily believe that it is far nearer possible for them to achieve emigration to Africa than for Negroes to achieve most of the program of the N. A. A. P.-without a war. Southern colored people know how little chance they have of winning in combat with southern white mobs. The militia certainly, and government probably so far as colored people can know, will back the white mobs if colored men should win in armed conflicts with whites. The Black Star Line or any other sort of international shipping venture must have not only government protection but government backing and government protection also. If it is to succeed.

Members of the board believe the Negroes are needful badly in the cotton fields, and can accomplish as much for the economic condition of this section by dragging a bag between the rows as by enforced attendance at school, and consequently causing a labor shortage. The board will decide at its meeting early in October the date for the reopening of the Negro schools. About 7,000 students are affected by the closing order."

Conference Is Pre-Warned He'd "Better Talk Straight" Associated Neuro Press Associated Negro Press TORONTO, Canada, Sept. 20—Garvey- ite West, Indians in Canada recently attempted to intimidate Win. Pickens car misbudget their man. This is what the noted orator told them to their faces: "We criticise even the President of the United States, the head citizen among us; in our country —and no West Indian citizens, consider himself immune. Besides, I wont be frightened for the millionth part of a second by any Ilyer-livered, coconut busting monkey chasers, even in Canada. He who tried to answer argument with violence is already lost." He further spid: "The great majority of the West Indian blacks are just like the majority of the rest of us—plain human beings. But an important minority besides upon appearing like those cowards now sitting in the rear of this church and who have maze these threats first cousins of Pithec- anthiropaes, with only a thick skull a club a groove, and a beak." Bishop J. M. Comper, formerly of Arkansas, now presiding over Canada, led the whole A. M. E. Conference in three-times three wild cheers for Wm Pickens at the conclusion of his address while the whole audience stood up wavet their handerchiefs, and shouted their approval. Pickens was not there to speak on Garveyism, but on the educational interests of the Negro, but the Garvey gang made their great mistake when, either because they had been urged to do so from headquarters, or out of their usual blundering egosism, they encountered him at the church entrance and fingering their hip-pockets, informed him that a committee of us is byron tonight to see that you don't do any knocking, an' yer better tawk' straight' Right there is where they spilled the beans for he certainly "colled straight'" The first thing he did was to turn right there on the church steps and say to the "committee" everything that is permissible at a church entrance, and some of those who were listening say that for one or two minutes he must have imagined bliss about ten thousand miles from the nearest church. It got so hot for the "committee" that they actually smoked into the church ahead of the Pickens party in order to escape from what they had started. When the speaker took the platform he informed the Bishop and the Conference that he had not had in mind so much as to even mention "Gregoryson," but that the "bunch of cowards" whom he considered at the door made it necessary for him to pay his respects to them before he took up his main address. As he "guid his respects," it was surprising to hear the audience cheer for four lifts of Toronto closed people are West Indians. He said that he is but mortal man like other men and that the blade of the bullet of the biggest coward could kill him, but that all of them rolled into one could not secrep him. People of all climes and colors like good red blood, and the audience was loud for the speaker—except the disgruntled and smirking committee on the back seats. So enthusiastic was the demonstration at the conclusion that the "committee" improved the opportunity to slip out unnoticed and vanished in the darkness. One woman said she invested one thousand dollars in the "Black Star Line." The speaker told her to "throw a kiss at it." She also said she had risked five hundred dollars on the other "enterprises."

PAGES 7 TO 12 UNKNOWN WOMAN GIVES $1000 FOR WORK IN AFRICA Bishop Brooks Receives A Splendid Welcome At St. Paul Ch. Rev. Williams Highly Complimented. Congregation Raises $640 For Former Pastor's Missionary Work. Donations From Churches and Other Sources Reach $2500. Impressed by the wonderful appeal made by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks at St. Paul Church last Sunday morning a woman member of the congregation, who refused to disclose her name, slipped a check into his hands for one thousand dollars to be used for his work in west Africa. The conditions attached to the money was that the name and identity of the donor would be kept a secret. Accordingly, Bishop Brooks refuses to divulge to any one the name of this generous donor. Receives Warm Welcome The reception accorded to Bishop Brooks by the pastor and members of St. Paul Church is said to have been one of the warmest received by him in the entire country. Dr. Williams reversed his order of service and took his regular collection and opened the door of the church beside reading the notices all before Bishop Brooks was introduced and the services turned over to him. Notwithstanding this change in the order of services the regular collection of the congregation amounted to more than $200.00 and six persons united with the church. Many persons who were present Sunday morning have been heard to comment on the fact that before any preaching was done whatever six persons joined the church. They point to this as evidence that the church is spiritually alive and a great drawing power. It is said that scarcely a Sunday passes without from five to a dozen people uniting themselves with St., Paul Church. The church was crowded to overflowing and more than two hundred persons were standing in the aisles and vestibles to get seats, according to Mr. E. K. Boyd. Clerk of the church, who spoke of the welcome given Bishop Brooks Sunday morning. From all over the city praise of Rev Williams for the whole-hearted, unselfish, generous and enthusiastic manner in which he welcomed Bishop Brooks and turned over to him the entire service is being heard. Congregation Gives Collection of $610 Pishop Brooks who was formally pastor of St. Paul Church, chose as his text the words; "So run that y u may obtain," and in the masterly way that his, stirred and lifted his congregation' out of themselves. At the conclusion of his sermon he told about his work in Africa and its needs the pictured vividly to the audience the pitiable condition of many of the natives and then appealed to them for help. When the collection was taken money fairly showered upon the tables Five and ten dollar bills, checks and money in other denominations fairly covered the table and when the same was counted it was found that $640.00 had been taken in the table collection. Besides this Bishop Brooks' received contributions from other churches in the city. From St. James Church $25 from Wayman Chapel Church $127 and from various other sources about the city it is said he received enough to make a total sum of $25,000. Compliments Pastor and Members Bishop Brooks highly complimented the pastor and members of St. Paul Church on the great progress and achievement which were apparent on every side and thanked them for the magnanimous consideration shown by the pastor and the congregation. Mr. Boyd stated that Bishop Brooks had been invited to return and deliver a lecture at St. Paul Church at an early date and he agreed to come. The date will be announced later. He further stated that a society of women is being organized in the church whose duty it will be to work for the welfare of the cause in West Africa.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson LANE TABERNACLE The Newstead Earlight, house of worship was overaxed Sunday morning when hundreds of people gathered to hear the message of Bishop Raadall A. Carter, of Chicago. This was the third straight Sunday Lane Tabernacle has been blessed with the presence of a Bishop in the rostrum, and probably the latter at the annual conference which opened on Sunday, 18th. The 800 people present will all agree that Bishop Carter performed wonderfully last Sunday morn. Never before in the midst of his sermons at Lane Tabernacle has the Bishop been greeted with such an immense outburst of bidity. Bishop Carter got the applause last Sunday morning and he will get the sacred noise every time he preaches as he did on that occasion. The Bishop went back in the book of Revelation to the commandments received by Moses at Mt. the speaker referring to the conishal. God's plan is the best, said mandments. Best of all he likes the fifth, Honor thy father and mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth three, "Thou shalt not kill," the sixth commandment is very much abused, said the speaker. The world is drunk on blood he said. Rev. N. L. Smith's original follower exhibited a little blue ribbon badge, had their day last Sunday. They out numbered the Tribe that belonged to Lane Tubercule at the coming of Rev. Smith three to one. The collection showed that the Smithites had given over three-fourths, Mrs. E. B. Robinson, reported that over $15.00 worth of blue ribbon badges were sold to the Smith followers. This was divided between the Morning Star Sunday School class and the Person club, Mrs. Emma Bradford, of the Trinities Auxiliary and Mrs. Susie Mason of Scruggs Progressive club supplied white badges. The Stars took both banners in Sunday School last Sunday morning and tamed the Young Men's Bible class. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH Pastor Stewarts will be in the pulpit next Sunday morning September 24th, 1922, nothing preventing. His parish will be delighted to have him return for service, although Rev. S. J. Branch's sermons have been highly appreciated, for they were food to our souls. The flock is always glad to see the Shepherd return. The prayer meeting last Friday night was spiritual indeed. Rev. Love from Mississippi was with us and spoke from Matt 25:22, theme "Taient given to every One." Impressed upon us the thought, that talents are given to be used to glorify God. Rev. Lee prayed a fervent prayer. Group No. 18, 21 and 23 led in the devotionals. Group Nos. 19, 20 and 29 are to lead the devotionals next Friday night Sept. 22, 1922. Sunday morning. Rev. Branch based his works for the message on Romans 8:9. Theme The Method of distinguishing a Christian from a non-Christian. Sunday night he took for his text, "Any, one who does not possess the spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. The two sermons were so closely related and so beautifully explained, that no hearer left the church, not knowing his exact relation with God. Word has come to us that Mrs Julia Foster, who left us some months since, to go to Africa as a teacher, has obtained permission to enter and sailed last week for her destination. Prayer was offered for a safe journey. Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. convene as usual every Sunday. Will hear more about our "Mock National Baptist Convention" to be held the first ten days in November. CENTENNIAL CRISTIAN CHURCH The rally which was launched just Sunday was well contributed to. Three services were held, the afternoon being given to sermonettes by several of the pastors of other churches, which were appreciated to the utmost. Watch for the advertisement of the Carnival which is to be held on Sunday. G. GENNX MUST SUPPRESS CRIME OR HAVE ANARCHY HERE Associated Negro Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 20—Calling upon Birmingham citizens to aid public officials in suppressing crime in the city, speakers before a mass meeting of the newly organized law observance and enforcement league today, the hearers also etiolated violence and forced the situation farces conditions similar to those in Russian and Turkey. The meeting today was the result, leaders of the law enforcement movement declared: of a series of floggings and mod violence in the Birmingham district during the past eight months, which have been the victims. The guilty parties in all cases have escaped the hand of the law, it is said. SundaySchool Lesson By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 24 REVIEWS: THE EXILE AND THE RESTORATION DEVOTIONAL READING—Pa. 61:1-5 16-20 GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord hath done great things for us: whereof we are glad. —Pa. 138:1. PRIMARY TOPIC-Selected Stories Retold. JUNIOR TOPIC—How God Restored His People. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Leaders in the Restoration of Israel. Two methods of review may be employed to advantage. 1. Character Study. Assign the outstanding heroes of the quarter's lessons to members of the class and have them to report. This assignment must be made the week previous, e. g. Ezekiel, the prophet of God; Daniel, the statesman; Ezra, the teacher of God's word, etc. 2. Summary of Contents. This is a good method at all times. It can be adapted to different grades. The following is a suggested method: **Lesson 1. Before Ezekiel was commissioned as a prophet he was given a vision of the Almighty. After that he was given an experimental knowledge of God's word—he ate the book—digested and appropriated its contents. An experimental knowledge of God's word is essential. **Lesson 1. Because Daniel besought the Lord he was able to make known the king's dream and interpret it. "If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God (Jas. 1:5).** Lesson III. While Belshazzar and his lords were engaged in drunken revelry a mysterious hand recorded Divine judgment. There is a day coming when men shall be judged. Happy is the man who has fed to Christ, for to such there is no judgment (John 5:24). Lesson IV. Daniel's sterling worth brought him to the front—he was elevated to be prime minister of the Persian empire. Moved by jealousy certain wicked men plotted his downfall. Because of a flawless record in business they trumped up a charge against him on the ground of his foreign religion. Though the king executed the foolish decree Daniel was delivered and his accusers were cast into the den of lions and destroyed. Lesson V. Though Israel went into captivity as a chastisement of the Lord, in due time He recovered them, God's covenant and judgments are sure. He can move a heathen king to freely fulfil His own good pleasure and purpose. Lesson VI. In the restoration of the people to their own land, the first thing necessary was the provision of a place for the worship of God. As soon as this work was begun, violent opposition was in evidence. That which God sets out to do shall be completed, though all hell oppose. Lesson VII. Hannan's wicked plot against the Jews was frustrated by Eyster's shrewdness and courage. Those who plot against and hate God's covenant people shall be brought to destruction. Lesson VIII. Through Zerubbabel the people were brought back and established in their own land, but they had gone far away from God. There was now need of a religious leader. Ezra was moved by the Spirit of God to lead them back to fellowship. Because Ezra sought the Lord his way was prospered. Success always comes to those who trust God. Lesson IX. When Nehemiah heard of the distress of his brethren at Jerusalem, he took the matter to the Lord in prayer. Their sorrow and distress was his sorrow and distress. Is any afflicted, let him pray (Jas. 5:13). Lesson X. When Nehemiah began the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem he encountered violent opposition from without and from within. His faith in God moved him to go straight on with the work and he had the joy of seeing the work completed. Lesson XI. The method used in bifling back the people to God was the word of God. Because God's word was made plain to the people they repented of their sins and rendered obedience to God. Lesson XII. Malachi as an aid to Nehemiah in effecting reforms pointed out the sina of the people, viz: Base ingratitude, a corrupt priesthood, mixed marriages, robbing God by withholding tithes, etc., pointing to a day of judgment when righteous retribution, would be meted out to the wicked and rewards would be given to the faithful. Beginning the Day. If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever will save his life shall lose it and whoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. Sing With Grass in Your Mouth. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all windows; teaching and admonishing one another in pains and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. -Colossians 3:16- Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. MRS.

The Periscope Bv Associated Negro Press THE PESSMISM OF THE NEGRO By Kolley Miller Associated Negro Press The Negro poet, Fenton Johnson, chauches. A better to die than to grow up and find that you are colored." Here is the epitome of pessimistic philosophy in a rat shell. Race prejudice is a fact which the Negro did not create and which he can not ... He may issuely modify its magnity or mitigate its intensity or even ... its severity by wise and sensitive procedure. But lacrymose lamentations will avail him not nothing. Sniff ye yield up the ghost as the coward does in the face of unfavorable fate? Or shall he meet the outward pressure of circumstances with the inner resistance of soul. The insane critic of the creation makes a sorry spectacle in face of cosmic law. The physical coward flees before testing the adequacy of his strength against opposing obstacle. He sees lions in the way and trembles without determining whether or not they are chained. The moral coward is more despicable. He makes an unconditional surmiser of the soul. When one surmiser his penultimate his energies are celerately wholly taken. The nerves prophet lies suspicious under the jungle tree and walks over the awryness of the world. The militant prophet commands the charities of God and the house of fire. Pessimism never光righted a wrong or remedied an evil since the beginning of sin. Screening against the facts of the Universe is the pastime of the indolent and the craven. The earth spins on its axis and moves about the sun, the stars burn in their socket, the course of human events, moves on heedless of the wry faces of the little possimist whose walls are as impatient as the housing of the midnight owl which doth to the moon complain. and intellectual dispute. He has gorged himself with raw theories which cause mental indigestion. One ounce of faith will cure the sewerest case of pessimism. One dose of courage will banish the most malignant type of despair. If you have faith as large as a grain of mustard seed, you can say to the mountains of race prejudice "be ye plucked up by the roots and cast into the sea," and faith shall be so, so, so strong and faith in humanity can despair of the capabilities of man. Faith banks despondency as the sun the mist. Why surrender the high progenitives of manhood to the arrogance of race? What boots it to blot the Negro out of existence and to shut off his seed from the land of the living? What human or divine end can be served thereby? Suicide is the one sine that shall never be forgiven. If our poet desires to die in order to terminate his own line and escape the hardships of his color, it takes personal pre-operative to do so. The one can commend act in the record of the life of Judas Iscariot is that he, went out and hanged himself. It did that because he had taken the decision that before penning three fatal words. The race might well have relied on the riddance. But the viciousness of evil doctrine consists in its suggestiveness, especially to these of wreak and feeble spirit. Unfortunately Fenton Johnson does not stand alone. His brand of moral imbecility is wide spread and contagious. The race abounds in weak souled pessimists without faith, hope or courage. They are ashamed of their kind and of their own property. They live without hope and the without, issue. They are even devoid of that statutory cowardice of conscience which makes them think rather of the ills they have than face the far-flung consequences of personal or social suicide. CONVENTIONS AND THE PRESS By J. A Jackson, of the Billboard Associated Negro Press. During the convention season, now about to close, it has been the writer's pleasure and privilege to have been in attendance upon the meetings of a number of our more important organizations. Each and every one of them has exceeded the word. Together they have proven exceedingly stimulating because of the racial progress they so emphatically registered. At practically every one of these meetings, the Press was spoken of in terms of greatest appreciation. At all of them its representatives were treated most courteously. Copy writers are quite proud to report that officers and honors have been generously bestowed upon the penil pushers by more than one organization of nation wide importance. But, in all kindness, a sense of duty to the fourth estate and to those same well-intentioned bodies would be violated if their intention were not directed to the neglect of the practical needs of those charged with informing the world of convention activities. The writer does this, with all the restraint, for fear of being understood because of the behind-facilities that were provided for him during every session visited—affect that he has to some thoughtful individual rather than by official provision. Recognize Enterprise Communicate in the future arranging for these meetings in the future must take cognizance of the now fully developed enterprise of Nego newspapers and writers. There should be provided at all meetings a room nearby (within the building when possible) a room with sufficient desk space for all possible reporters; telephone connections for their exclusive use; messenger services a set of the minutes of the previous meeting and a program of announcements for every person present. A supply of plain typewriter paper should be on hand; as should be a supply of postage stamps and a file of post papers both digital and white paper. means a public stenographer of the fastest and most experienced sort, should be available at a reasonable space rate. A special badge, with a supporting identification card that would be recognized by all officials and attendants should be provided. When the meetings are of a public nature, a reporters' table should be placed close to the speakers standing in the main hall. When the meeting is of secret character, such provision should be made for those properly qualified by virtue of membership to that body. It is unfortunate, yet true, that we must admit that the Garvey convention has for three years been the only one to nearly accomplish, this much desired arrangement. Not a little of the publicity has accrued to the U. N. U. is due to these causes and convenient facilities for functioning. A New representative of the big Associated Negro Press) a chief Editor with an assistant representing the Associated Negro Press; A special writer and a district representative of the Chicago Defender; a traveling representative of the Pittsburgh Courier; representatives of three Washington papers; the Atlanta Independent; the Savannah Tribune; a reporter of one New York paper; the Editor of another; an editorial representative of the New York Tatler; and the writer all met at no less than three affairs, some of them slay, in consecutive order. And at each had to resort to the most primitive means to obtain information and prepare copy. One of these publications got out a special edition for one convention; all of them wired many hundred words; and all of them mailed columns of copy. Make it easy for them and profit by it with still greater benefit. Our Fraternities and Associations have become too important in their social and financial consequences—too big as factors in the economic welfare of the race and the nation—to be handled with regard to publicity in the former. catch-as-catch-can manner. Time was that none but the members were interested in what transpired; that time is gone; there was a day when some hot air about an individual was all that was expected of a paper reporting any meeting; that day has passed; once a bit of editorial comment on some phase that may have the approval of the particular writer concerned that no longer suffices. The reading pledge of today wants the facts, as they exist: they want to know what transpired as it actually happened. The present day publication, whether of white or colored management, is asked to tell Who, What, When, Where, and Why. And this can only be done when the news gatherers are provided with the facilities for working. Surely if a publication is enterprising enough to send its editor, reporter, manager, correspondent, or staff writer, or if a feature writer clamms his expenses on the possibility of the subject being of sufficient interest to make his story of commercial value, surely you can see the wisdom of creating the means for their obtaining the details. Respond to the many courtesies obtained during the season just passed roles, the foregoing of any of the characteristics of complaint. It is intended solely as an Eye-Opener that our organized activities may reverify hereafter the publicity to which they are entitled. "ANTI-LYNCHING CRUSADERS" By William Pickens Associated Negro Press. What will Mary B. Talbert do next? What next will the colored American woman do under her leadership? An organization has been effected by colored women to get One Million Women of all kinds and colors united by December 11, 1922, against lynching. These women are to be asked to put down at least one dollar each as a fighting fund against lynching. Look out, Mr. Lyncher! This class of women generally get what they go after. The organization is to cover the whole United States. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, E21 Michigan Avenue, Buffalo N. Y. is the National Director of the movement. Miss Mary E. Jackson of Providence, R.I., is National Organizer. Each state is to have its Director, and each town or locality its key person." "The women will begin with prayer at sunrise, and end with prayer at son-set—in between they will do a much more sweaty work than praying. And this organization is not creating any positions or enrolments for any body. It is to disband at once as its campaign comes to an end. Tueller is seen for Nothing, also but to get the job done. And each State Director is to be paid in the same kid of thankless coin—the satisfaction of a noble deed well done. Of course, there should not be a coerced American woman from the washpot to the university who will not want to "count one" in this crusade. And every white woman from Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Harling down to those who watch Mrs. Bergins burn down to those can afford to join. They will all be publicly and not of them privately asked to be honoured in this effort of womankind. This idea originated with a group of women in New York. It is the greatest effort of Negro womanhood in a generation, and if it succeeds even by one truth, it will be also the greatest achievement. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 20—Dr. E. M. Jones, Area Secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Church at New Orleans, La. in a communication to the Committee or Conservation and Advance mid: "You will be glad to know that we held our first big meeting last night towards raising our $14,000 apportionment for the New Orleans Area. We successed in raising $2,075. We are planning to have the annual meeting at five or six sites centrally in this area. The result of the Amp is expected to be a 000 payable in five years, but on which there was a deficiency on payments this year of $2,000,000. The "I Will Maintain" fund has been inaugurated to make up this deficiency of $2,000,000 and the New Orleans Area is raising $14,000 of this apportionment. Something to Think About By P. A. WALKER AGAINST THE TIDE BESETTING you on every hand is the invisible tide which is hourly sweeping humans from their charred course and carrying them in to unknown waters. The captains of courage who have gone before, weathered the treacherous currents and reached a seagre haven, are the only ones who can tell you what this opposing tide means to the young or the inexperienced, or the over-confident. They will tell you how difficult it is in trying moments to keep your honor bright; how hard it is to steer away from temptation or the habit of loose thinking; how perplexing it is to avoid the sucking shouts when you should keep cool, hold to the straight course and exert your utmost strength. You may pose for a hero before the world, but be careful lest the tide pull you under and expose the fraud. If your colors are false, beware! for the tide knows them. In spite of its purring voice and shining face, it is a restless foe, a bearer of no tales, a silent destroyer of ambition and a wrecker of hope when your star seems to glow the brightest and you stand puffed up in conceit before an admiring world. Alas! for the man who in such a moment plunges headlong into the tide without first reckoning his endurance. The water is icy cold, swift and treacherous. How many men do you know who have gone down in such a plunge, never again to show, their head? Their pride and pomp, their wealth sank from sight and left only a few empty bubbles behind, bursting and disappearing. Be honest with yourself, sincere with others, practice the Golden Rule, steer your craft by the unfalling compass of faith, and though the waters snarl about-you, your frail little boat will at the end of the journey find a friendly harbor where Truth and Mercy will welcome you and give you peace. Sail on! you who are half discouraged because you are not shining in the show-places, riding in automobiles, living in mansions and blazing your name in the Blue Book. The earth is reserved for the meek and, this inheritance is for you, for you who through simple faith are stemming the tide and making the final port!

JEFFERSON, Longview, Texas, Box 648 the white and colored races have advocated the idea the Negroes, return to Africa—that with the advantages gained by his experiences in America he is well equipped to build a civilization i this native land, and that it would be better both for this country and for Africa that he did so. But the concensus of opinion is that such a thing is not possible and, that were it possible it would not be best, particularly for the United States. From the economic viewpoint, especially, that of normal manual labor, Americans needs the Negro. If Negro labor was a good thing, for this country, economically speaking, during slavery, it is better with his freedom. As has already been mentioned, Negro labor made possible the swift reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. Not only that, but when the exodus of Negroes from the South to the North took place, the South materially suffered from it. In absence of comparatively much "foreign labor," as a worker is practically necessary to economic success in the South, and is a valuable asset to any part of the country. However, in considering America's need of the Negro from the standpoint of labor and economy, our minds should be disabunded of the long prevailing idea that the labor is labor and that the best fit only for physical labor. The greatest circle of our country and of the world is the wrongly placed view of "labor," regarding it as mental and those engaged in it as deprived. Of all things, labor to the most horrible. The laws of nature have made it essential to physical, mental, and moral health. Without physical exercise, the body fails and dies. Actual mental bodily labor, is the very best sort of physical exercise. The mental fails to emotional death, because individual and nation. Without mental exercise to law for and ability good for the human body, the condition of the nation is not good. Walker Mfg. Co., Inc. Indianapolis, Ind.

This is all so evident and commonplace that no one will dispute it, but no other fact of life is so ignored and abused as this. Not only does the "Aristocracy of Gold" together with the militants of this aristocracy "look down" upon manual laborers, but most of such workers themselves feel degraded and long for the time when they may escape it. Many resort to tricks and dishonest tactics to live it, our hero here it is, war it, it is essential to the existence of humanity. Every necessity, comfort, and injury is possible only through the personal toll of some one. Therefore, the most essential, and consequently the most honorable people of earth are the workers. The fact is, no man or woman with the mental or physical ability to engage in some useful occupation and refuses to do so, has a moral right to live. Such a one is necessarily a burden to others and a "numberer of the ground." Preston News Service PTTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 20—In the will of Dr. C. F.

Will Play Five Games With St. Louis Stars In First And Only Visit Of 1922. MISSENT LETTER CAUSES CLEVELAND TO D'SAPPOINT Ohio Club Failed To Skow Up For Series Last Sunday. East St. Louis Giants Make Stars Hustle. The Detroit Stars, second team in the standing of National Negro League Clubs, will open a series of five games with the St. Louis Stars, at Star's park this Sunday. The Detroit aggregation is one of, if not the strongest in the league. Cooper and Holland are mound artists of the staircase class2. The infield has Wesley on first; Warfield, second; Riggs, short and Lowe, third. Smith, Thomas and Jones are in the outfield. The catching staff is a stout team, paying its first visit to St. Louis, in the coming series. Of course, this will be the only clash between the two teams here this season, which will soon come to a close. Games will be played Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, starting at 3 o'clock. Cleveland Disappoints. The Cleveland team, of the league scheduled to play a series of five games starting last Sunday failed to appear and disappointed what would have been the largest gathering of Cats this season. Several hundred turned away from the games when it was leamed that the Cleveland had not arrived. The East St Louis Giants were called upon to hold the crowd until Cleveland arrived. The game went through until the end. The East Side boys start in with a little stage tight and it looked, like a shaughter, at first. The Stars on the eventing end, but the Illinois boys finally settled down and made the final club extend itself to win 16-11. A bright spot in the charts of the West Sideiders was the round-around victory. The Stars' hitting and fielding was the real feature of the game. This boy is up to league caliber and should be given a tryout with some club next season. Rube Foster's Explanation. League President Rule Foster in a letter to Richard Kent, president of the St. Louis Stars Rassball Association, explains that the order to the Cleveland team to report in St. Louis was missent from Detroit to New Orleans instead of to Kansas City, where the Tate Stars were playing. The Cleveland Club did not receive it and therefore the disappointment. The St. Louis principals did not know of the misse and were expecting the club to Philadelphia until the game Sunday was nearly over. There will be no doubt about the Detroit team appearing as the local managers here already received an acknowledgment of the booking from the Michigan club. Detroit Stars Win And Play To Tie With A.

CHAMPION JACK DEMPSEY ALSO CHAMPION ELUSIVE "STALLER" OF THE AGE Preston News Service NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 20 It is amazing with the maturity with which Jadore has managed his game ofading in order to design most worthy opponents. The public is rapidly growing tired of this sort of conduct on the part of the title holder and sport writers in all quarters of the country are beginning to say so indicative of the general consensus of opinion among the fair minded writers in the large white dailies throughout the country Harry J Boyle, sporting graphic illustrations, graph has the following to say under the caption of "Dumpey's Main Rivals are Miskie and Wills." Prospective opponents for Dempsey are Wills, Misie, Grek, Carpenter, Forreum, Bruneman, Willard, Jack Johnson, and Rockett, and according to Fred Keats the eastern sharp, they rank in something like that order. The man Dempsey shows the beast desire to meet is Wills, who ranks first. The man Dempsey has expanded the most energy chasing after is Bruneman, who ranks down near the bottom of the decidedly weak list. Jess Willard, another helpless contender, also comes in for a great deal of attention from the champion, as does Firpo, a movie, and Rockett, worse than a movie. As a matter of fact, Dempsey figures to beat them all, including Wills, but it rather strangely that he has so little to say about the men the public would have him meet, and is so anxious to tackle those who could not force him to get up a good swear. It is true that Dempsey has been faced to talk of a Wills match a great deal of his life but has never shown any real depth in the prospect, even though the men is likely to be tried. For this reason I tried his hatred to discourage talk of that match. He throws every possible obstacle in the way at the same time doing his best to apologize Willing. As a last resort he demanded a guaranty of $200,000 and the money posted in advance. Dempsey should beat Wills because the champion is a much better bower is a shorter faster, more accurate hitter and can stand up under more penishment. All Wills has shown to be great strength and a wild wallop. He is never sure of hitting anything until he gets hold with one hand so that his victim cannot move out of this way. As Wills is best of the Negroes, so Miskel is best of the whites. It would not be fair to roast Dempsey for passing up a man he knocked out so easily the last time they met. On the face of things Dempsey deserves credit for leaving the man from St. Paul about a year ago. He is the best white contender. It also is fact that he twice wrest the full dislace with Dempsey and that he was a sisk man at the time Dempsey knocked him out. Today Miskel 1 far better fighter than he was when he stood Dempsey off in a 10 and a six ground bout. Yet Dempsey has announced that he is going to Europe to find action. Why does he run away from American shorts where he can get all the action he wants. Some are so bold as to say that Dempsey knows that he would be taking too great a chance at losing the title if he went into the ring with either Wills or Miske and therefore he does not desire any real American action, especially with Wills or Miske.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 29—There is a great deal of talk among Negroes all over the country about the necessity of patronizing race enterprises. A great many of those who do the most talking about this do not always practice what they preach. But they are constantly lamenting the fact that there are so few opportunities for the trained young men and women of color to find something to do; and are constantly "cursing" out the white race because they will not give Negroes equal opportunities. There is nothing, then left for us to do but create our own law and make these opportunities for our own young people. To do this we must patronize our own race institutions. Amid this phase of our life I ammerica E D Canyon has the following to say authorially in the Portland (Oregon) Advocate of which he is editor. "We were recently very much interested in a discussion of our people as to why they didn't patronize colored business man. One said his reason for not patronizing our colored growers was than once upon a time a colored store other than church, and from that he crowed his wives never trade with a colored man. We wonder if some white merchant hasn't cheated this man out of more than did the colored business man? However, it is interesting to note that he did not say he would not patronize another white businessman. Another said: "I wouldn't put my money in a colored bank for any consideration." When asked his reason, he said: "Now didn't the Freshman's bank in Washington use a go-break and a lot of colored banks their money?" And didn't John Mitchell's bank in Richmond, Va., close? Perhaps this colored brother hadn't heard of the number of banks operated by whites which had been closed, causing thousands of people to lose their money. Right here in Portland, the State Bank has, recently, gone out of business, having many of its patrons in poor financial circumstances. But in Portland any sensible person say that he would not bother any more money in white banks. This same colored man, if he had any money to deposit in a bank, wager, would be found in the front line in a white bank. Another's excuse for not going to roaming houses or hotels conducted by Negroes was that colored people who run hotels talked to much wild-wanting people. There may be some truth in the last excuse. But let them talk, it will do one no harm, and if you have any business, it will help advertise it. What the colored race needs is to patronize each other more. In all sorts of business, for it is only in this way you can become a power in the business world. You can become a colored businessman is not up on all the details of conducting his business, nevertheless, if encouraged and patronized, he will soon develop all the fine points that go to make up a successful businessman. You your own people in business and help them to give a better and bigger business to the public. COLORED BANKS ASKED TO FINANCE A DIAMOND PROJECT IN BR.
