ROES NOMINATED FOR SENATE AND CONGRESS --- "What is the matter with the ship?" seems to be the word which has found expression in action by the Negroes of Virginia and Kentucky. Driven to such action by the conduct of their friends" is given as the cause by the leaders for putting race men in the race for the high offices. A warm fight is promised in. Virginia. Mathews Lewis, a newspaper man, in the fight of the officer of Newport News, well known in the state and it is generally believed that he will receive most of the Negro votes in the state in November. According to plans a vigorous campaign will be waged up until the ballots are cast in November. Virginia Colored Have Candidate For Senate Associated Negro Press RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 11.—The fight is on. The "Coal Blacks have got off to a good start and unlike there is a good guess gone wrong there will not be a single Republican named in the HearThe "Y" Message Rev. E. Combie Smith, pastor Maple Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, will be the principal speaker at the mammoth mass meeting Sunday, October 15th. 4 p. m. at Pine Street Department Y. M. C. A. Rev. Smith has been an annual speaker for the Y. M. C. A. for the past five years. He is clear, forceful and eloquent in space and in instruction, message and interest. If you want to hear an excellent orator and a real live message come out and hear Rev. Smith next Sunday. The Sunday meetings for the last two weeks have been largely attended, and each Sunday marks an increase over the preceding attendance. Dr. George Ciuscurel Hall, speaker for last Sunday, left a burning message on the hearts of his hearers, and many were heard to say as they left the building, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he spoke" the music to the meetings is always in keeping with the high-class character of the general program. Prof. Tyler and his double quartette added mach to the program. After nearly every rendition they were called back for an encore. Inspirational meetings every Sunday — fine fellowship and special music. The public is invited. Doors open at 3:30 p. m. Come out and bring your friends. next congressional delegation from this State. Colored men have been named for the United States Senator and the three Congressional districts where, under ordinary circumstances the Republicans, unusually have a more than fighting chance to be elected. Matt. N. Lewis the editor of the New Post News was nominated at the 6th of October Convention for United States Senator by the "Coal Blocks" Dr. J. L. Jones was nominated for Congress for the 1st District W. W. Foreman for the 2nd District, and C. G. Gill for the 3rd District. This action by the convention is more regarded as the first gun for the 1924 campaign. A new political era is now generally predicted for the 1925 election. Prominent men in the "Coal Block" movement in this State are now declaring that the old order of Negro politics has been dumped into the waste basket for all times. Of course, this is little more than mere conjecture. But, nevertheless, it can be safely taken as one of the signs of a political that has some how gripped the Negro consciousness during the last few years. It also is freely predicted that there will be a more pronounced defection of the Negro Republican vote than there was during the last General election of last year. Unless the signs fall entirely the much talked of "Third Party" issues has got underway in the case of the Negro vote at State. At least this is in the burden of the prediction so freely cast on the political winds of these days and times. About 600 delegates were in attendance at the convention. Resolutions were adopted directing Chairman Pollard to invite expressions from the "plain people" throughout the State seeking their views on the situation. These same resolutions also include the Press and Pulpit to join hands in the movement against the Black Rise." The admissibility calling another National Conference at Washington, D.C. to further consider the political status of the American Negro, his rights, and the remplies for his wrongs is another feature of the resolutions. Colonel, Lewis, the candidate for Senator, in one of the best knights of the State, wealthiest colored man in the State. He is also involved for the success of the campaign he managed for the late John M. Langston some years since. J. R. Pollard was reelected State Chairman. The campaign will open at once. who was stabbed early yesterday by his collatee, John Lee, another Negro today was said by prison officials to be serious.

Inter-racial Co-operation Getting Results Through Commission. ATLANTA, Gov. Oct. 11. (Special)—The Georgia Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, under the leadership of Dr. T. J. Wolfert, is waging a vigorous campaign against mob violence and injustice, and for the development of a public sentiment that will insure the protection of the life and property of every citizen, irrespective of color. Governor Dorsky's astounding exhibit of lynchings and the injustice associated with wielded calculated by the Commission and created a profound impression. The Commission bag drafted, and is working hard for the enactment of a law, which the Commission helped effective anti-lynching law. Meantime many cases of mob violence and injustice have been investigated by the Commission and legal aid has been extended in a number. Among the latter may be mentioned the notorious William T.

Savs Missouri Pythians Are Ready To Pay When Work On Temple Berins. Would Have Money Held In Escrow Until Good Faith Is Shown By Supreme Lodge Officers. Editor of The St. Louis Argus. In your issue of Oct. 7th, I note a news article which you published from the Cleveland, Ohio Call and that those who read that article may understand the true position of Missouri in the matter. I desire to give you the following information: The Proclamation issued by Supreme Chancellor Grover also published in part by you, is very misleading as the facts when he says: "The acts of the Supreme Lodge was contrary to the will of the Grand Chancellor of the Jurisdiction of Missouri," where he should have said contrary to the will of the Grand Lodge of the Jurisdiction of Missouri. Truth of the Matter The truth is that, in the Grand Lodge of Missouri in regular membership, two years in succession, 1920 and 1921 refused to make further payment into the Pythian Temple tax fund, except upon the following conditions: the $4000.00 collected from the loyal lodges as voluntary payments for the tax, to be placed in the bank in escrow, subject to the drafts of the Supreme Lodge as follows: the certain per cent of the money to be paid when the contract for the temple builders and the balance when the work of construction, had commenced. This proposition was submitted to the Supreme Chancellor in 1920, and I wrote him urging him to fairly consider the matter, but, received only such evasive replies, as the Supreme Lodge did not authorize the Grand Lodge of Missouri to submit such a proposition etc. We had hoped that the matter would have been placed before the Supreme Lodge in 1921 session in the Kansas but, not only did the Supreme Chancellor fall and refuse to submit the matter to the Supreme Lodge for its official action, but he arbitrarily refused the duly elected representatives from Missouri admitter to the Supreme session, and this too in spite of the fact that we had paid every dollar of our representative tax and had never been chared suspended. In spite of the supreme Chancellor forced us as Supreme Chancellor, to appeal to the civil courts for justice, and the Supreme Lodge was forced to admit the Missouri delegation and pay the cost of the Hitigation. Loyal To Order We in Missouri have in the past, are now, and always will be loyal to the principles of the Order, but we refuse to subscribe to the doctrine that "The King can do no wrong" and like slaves, tremble at the command of the man who should be the fairest of the fair in all matters of business, or brotherly in all matters of service as Grand Chancellor, or money that we have unable to satisfactorily account for, is the money paid into this Pythian Temple Tax Fund, which we were promised a dividend, but from which we have received nothing for 17 years. However, our real friends understand our position for right, and it is our desire to inform each reader that Missouri is unwilling to pay money where it is paid, or wasted, but will gladly cooperate where the management will work for the good of the Institution as a whole. When we consider that $3100.00 of our hard earned money has not brought one cent of income in 17 years, we pause to wonder Why? What Our Invest Means Missouri paid $28,000.00 for a Temple some years later than the Supreme Building was purchased in Chicago, yet we have saved in profits over $14,000.00 or one half of the purchase price and the Chicago property which cost $48,000.00 has not returned to the several Grand Jurisdictions, whose loyal members paid the purchase price, one penny of interest. Does this seem elitary or a good business management? Missouri thinks is no Missouri asks no war, no sympathy, but we ask, yes, demand, good business methods in handling our cash. In the interest of the Order and Against Jap Citizenship Associated Neighbour Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11. The state of California, through Attorney General Webb, last Thursday, filed in the Supreme Court a brief in the Japanese naturalization cases in which arguments were concluded yesterday. It supports the contraintion that Japanese are not of the Caucasian race and therefore are expelled from citizenship by the statutory provisions restricting naturalization to all who are free which process or of African descent. The new plan of Israel is pleasing on behalf of this country in the fullest standing to see what it is in consequence of the law. VISITS ST. LOUIS THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary National Negro Press Association, made a brief stop in St. Louis last week while en route to Kansas City, Mo., to deliver an address in the interest of the Sunday School Congress of the National Baptist Convention, of which he is Secretary. Mr. Boyd expressed himself as being highly pleased with the work of the 'Congress' and predicted, much greater things- for the future. He spoke very commendable of Dr. J. W. Hurse, of Kansas City, and said he was a 'live wire.' He added to being Secretary of National Negro Press Association, and Secretary of Sunday School Congress, is President of the Penny Savings Bank of Nashville and Chairman of Board of Directors of the X. M. C. A. of that city. He showed the effect of hard work and added responsibilities, which have naturally fallen upon him since the death of his father, the late R. H. Boyd. The newspaper men will meet in Nashville early next year and- Mr. Boyd says preparations are now being made for their enjoyment. ARKANSAS JUDGE SCORES THE KU KLUX KLAN Preston News Service HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Oct. 4. In charging the grand jury under the nightjarid section of the state statute at the opening of the Circuit Court here, Judge Scott Wood took occasion to score the Ku Klux Klan. Among other things, he said: "If the courts and the juries should approve or palliate the use of unlawful means to promote the public good, public good will soon be merely the pretext for the use of all kinds of unlawful means to carry out the arbitrary will of an organization which would usurp powers of government and substitute its dictum, as night jails, its tar and feathers and its whip for the signified and orderly processes of the country." Judge Wood dwelt at length on the presumative prefective of members of the Ku Klux Klan to demand the enforcement of only the laws against crimes that appear obnoxious to them. "No organization of men in a secret conceive has the right to find men guilty of an offense, and not even the courts under our constitution has the right to punish an offender by imposing a sentence of punishment," he declared. EASTERN GATE DRAWS A CAPACITY HOUSE A capacity house witnessed the first performance of "The Eastern Gate" at the Olden last night (Thurs.). Many expressions of approval were heard throughout the performance. The same play will be repeated, tonight (Friday), but many will take off of the opportunity to witness the second show. A full account of the affair will be reported in the Argus next week. Woman Hauled In Court For Possessing Too Many Dogs CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 11.—Although she has five dogs and a cat and at times a greater number, the animals cause no annoyance to the neighbors. Miss Laura Walker, 3645 Grand Boulevard, told the health department hearing board last Thursday. Miss Walker was called before the hearing board as the result of a complaint of neighbors that she kept fifteen dogs in her home. "I have a colliet, a spina, a bulldog, and two fox terrors and a cat." Miss Walker said indignantly, "but they cause no anomaly. The complaint was made by colored persons, who are trying to drive me out of the neighborhood. I am a member of the Am. Creeksy society, and I find a fault in it. I have it just through my kindness that I am my trouble. The dogs are only dogs." "Dank the dogs hard!" asked Dr. G. A. Koehler director of the board. "Yes, she replied, "but only when strangers come in the yard." "Continued for further investigation," was the board's decision. An ordinance of amusement provides the dogs, "for the enjoyment of all." CHURCH COUNCIL DENOUNCES K. K. Resolution Adopted By Federal Council Of The Churches Codemn Activities Of Any Organization That Would Set Class Against Race. Warns Protestant Churches To Steer Clear Of Such Evil Influences. "The Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America records its strong conviction that the recent rise of organizations whose members are masked, oath-bound and unknown, are arousing religious prejudice and racial antipathesis. Is fraught with grave consequences to the Church and to society at large. Any organization whose activities tend to set class against class of race against race is consistent neither with the ideals of the churches nor with the customs or sincerity may be its professions of religion and Americanism; "Evile of lawlessness and immorality, however serious, can never be remodled by secret, private and unauthorized action. They must be handled by the State and by the recognized forces of education. For groups of indifferent men, many of whom hold their identity to pass judgment on men and women and to carry out humiliating measures of their own devising, is subservative of every principle of civilized, government, and undermines respect for the established agencies of law and order. "Any body of men, unidentified and banded together to achieve in a martial spirit the purposes of a sectional Watson's Death Relieves Southern Democrats Of Another "Fire Eater" Associated Negro-Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 11—The death of Tom Watson, of Georgia, who through the evil manipulations of Southern politics was permitted to pre-fix "Senator" to his name, marks the passing of another of that thin army of fire-brands, who rose to the spotlight of infamy by creating race hatred and strife. Watson, like Riderman and Blessing, by his continued commitment to a political objection by the ballots of a new generation; and like Tillman of pitchfork infamy, now gone to his long "unempent, unhonored, and unask" home, and Helfin, and John Sharp Williams, the remaining ancient exhibits of "Wild Man of Borneo," methods in politics, racked their unenvied places in public life by standing on the bones of dead people who lost their lives for the helpless, injustice. Henry Lincoln Johnson. Republican National Committee man of Georgia, who more than any other individual Negro threw Watson in convulsions of hate, was seen by a representative of the Associated Negro Press, immediately after the announcement of Watson's death. Was the culprit of torture and murder bathed in regret? Not that a closely observing serb could notice. The eloquent dark skinned son of Georgia heaved a long sigh of relief, in which there was however, no note of dismay. Colonel Johnson then grew reminiscent, and told how in campaigns long gone by, he had paid his respects to Watson and his kind in auditable terms than possibly be misunderstood. He told, also, that he had been legal encounters, he had knocked horns with Watson, or those who represented him, and turned their efforts into capital for jokesmiths. The Democratic party of the South has been waited down for many years with just such ill-smelling timber as the deceased Georgian; and it is predicted by those who claim a thing or a state of righteousness, until all the fire eaters are dead and eternity consigned to the regions, where the supply of fire material will never be lacking. Democrats Bound By Their Party Caucas And Their Sympathy For Negroes Is Nil Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11—Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, and who delivered an address at Terre Haute, Ind., on the interest of the Republican candidate, was a member of the Association Press and questioned at to his general attitude in the Senatorial and Congressional Campaign, now on Mr. Howard stated that, "As to the Democratic and Republican candidates for the Senate, I shall count four-square for the Republican candidates and I have no apology to make. I am fortified in this attitude by reasons of the Party Caucus in which every Democrat however friendly, he may be to our group, is bound by the Democratic political, racial or sectarian groups is almost certain to fall into the very evils of mob rule, against which the spirit of Christian democracy and Americanism makes vigorous and constant protest. Even if they resort to no unworthy deeds themselves, their practice of carrying on their plans in disguise or under cover of darkness encourages others to do likewise, and so affords the opportunity for all manner of lawlessness to be carried on with immunity from the law, it is that in some communities religious organizations seek a control over municipal administration which is undemocratic and highly undesirable, yet for another body of men, secret and oath-bound, to undertake to get control is equally intolerable, even if they seek with all sincerity to wrest it from the control of other groups. "The Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches is opposed to any movement which overrides the processes of law and order, and which tends to complicate and make more difficult the work of co-operation between the two houses and the religious groups in the Republic. No such movements have the right to work in the name of Protestantism, and the churches are urged to move in influence to check their actions."

Association our truth, our Louis Colored service, is squarely face the issue of the right of an American citizen to a peaceful enjoyment of constitutional privileges. It behooves the intelligent and responsible members of our society to intellectually at this time. Our votes and our financial resources are our only weapons. The issue between the St. Louis Anti-Negro organisations and colored St. Louisians in simply an issue between wrong and right; powered power and hate; and ancient ignorance and modern intelligence; and assumed minority of opportunities and the fundamental spirit of community progress. The test between the Apil-Negro organizations and the Colored American is not ours alone. It merely happens that our race at St. Louis is faced with a superb opportunity to safe-guard and preserve the spirit of our Nation's constitution and the integrity of our government.

While a fair amount of profit is contemplated and will be realized beyond a shadow of doubt, yet do not plan to give up your business or desert your profession, as the proposition is not one intended to make us all rich over night, but rather to give a certain "Group" a living condition and environment of a kind that has long been destreat and needed, and which our firm has been frequently requested to secure. SO WE HAVE IT. This announcement will tell us and the public "who is who". So come now, get in on the ground floor and SHARE the distinction and fair profits with those who can look, into the proposition and act at once or come later and share the distinction of PAYING a fair profit to those shrewd enough to pet in the next TEN DAYS. WHICH DO YOU PRIEER? It seems that wisdom would suggest the former, however, there will be enough of the latter class to prevent you from being lonesome.

Doyle, Dear Sir: I worked in the wash-room of a steam laundry, my feet were wet at all times and I contracted a very heavy cold that settled on my chest and lungs.

I feel that I will soon be able to work again. Respectfully yours. My Dear Mr. Doyle: May 5, 1922 was the day the doctor called and said I was down with pneumonia and my case was serious because of a weak heart. This doctor and another doctor refused me any stimulant to keep up my strength on account of my heart condition. Iastend of this needed stimulant and better than any stimulant, a friend gave me my tonic.

Doyle's Topic can build you up when all climates fail. Read These Testimonials Mr. John J. Doyle, Dear Sir: I worked in the wash-room of a steam laundry, my feet were wet at all times and I contracted a very heavy cold that settled on my chest and lungs. I lost weight and strength rapidly and coughed all the time I grew very weak from night sweats. My mother bought a bottle of Doyle's Tonic. After using it I felt much better and am gaining in weight. I feel that I will soon be able to work again. My Dear Mr. Doyle: May 5, 1953 was the day the doctor called and said I was down with pneumonia and my case was serious because of a weak heart. This doctor and another doctor refused me any stimulant to keep up my strength on account of my heart condition. Instead of this needed stimulant and better than any stimulant, 2 friend gave me my tonic. The tonic preserved my strength up to the day of the crisis. After the crisis, I kept on taking bottle after bottle of tonic until I returned to my old job at Scullin's Steel Works July 24, 1952.

New And Used Cars —TERMS— Reasonable First Payment Balance Twelve Months PAGE FOUR COMEDY COMPANY MAKES BIG HIT AT THE BOOKER Its a real top-notch entertainer that Billy McLaurin's Musical Comedy Company is giving the Booker Washington Theatre patrons this week. The continuous spasms of comedy center on the candidacy of two policemen for Judge. These are "Sergt, Ham" and "Sergt, Pinchback." Ham gets elected and he makes it hot for his rival, who has a hard time keeping out of court. The fun created by the principal characters, in the hands of McLaurin and Robert Foreber, is furious. The production is peppered with a number of good songs and dance numbers. After the opening chorus, Jimnie Sadler and company sing and dance "Paper Boy." Fereber and Fereber present a specialty consisting of comedy, dance demonstrations and song "Sweet Child!" which makes a decisive hit. Mr. Drysdale and girls score with "Say It While Dancing". Fereber and Drysdale have a screaming comedy, "The Password", and an eccentric dance, Tillie Marshall wins applause with, "Gee But I Hate-To Go Home Alone." Sadier does a soft shoe buck that goes over big. Billy McLaurin takes the house by storm with his song "Running Sally". The chorus is good and appears in several song and dance numbers. After the court burlesque, the show closes with a lively song and dance, "When The Mellon is Ripe in Dixie" The show is big hit and the engagement will close Sunday night. ANOTHER MUSICAL COMEDY CO AT B. W. NEXT WEEK Boykin and Williamson's "Delegates from "Dixie" troupe will come to the Booker Washington Theatre next Monday with another clean, snappy musical comedy show. In the cast are: Anna Williamson, Pearl Madison and Lillian Carrolk - soubrettes; Arthur L. Boykin and Robert Perry, comedians. The show has a big reputation. THE PICTURE THEATRES "Spanish Jade." "Just Tony" and "Burning Sands" at Comet An entrancing novel by a popular author interpreted by a sterling cast, headed by David Powell, the featured player, and actually filmed in the identical locales of which the author wrote—such is "The Spanish Jade," which will be shown at the Comet Theatre Saturday, . The story in question is "Spanish Jade," written by Maurice Hewlett, one of the foremost novelists of the day. It graphically recounts the struggle of a beautiful Spanish girl for happiness and of the sacrifice she was prepared to make for the man who had risked his life to aid her. David Powell, Marc MacDermott, Harry Ham and Evelyn Brent are in the cast, and the picture, as its title implies, was entirely filmed in Spain. Tom Mix will be presented in "Just Tony" on Sunday. The story is that of a horse whose feelings are so stirred by the cruelty of his human captors that he turns against them, and enters upon a career of devastation and ruin of all man's belongings. The training of the horse is superb, and the intelligence exhibited by the quadruped is beyond belief. "Just Tony" is a picture exceedingly entertaining. On Tuesday, Dustin Farnum will be seen in "Oathbound." Next Thursday and Friday, the feature will be "Burning Sands." The story deals with the love of a young English woman of the nobility for a hermit of the Saharan Desert. He treats her coldly, but she persists in her effort to win him, and, after a series of highly dramatic incidents, in which romance and tragedy are mingled, succeeds. The theme is the antithesis of that treated in "The Sheik," and it is said by George Melford, the producer, that "Burning Sands" is perhaps the strongest production with which he has thus far been identified. "The Wall Flower," "Life's Greatest Question" and "Missing Husbands" at the Star. Colleen Moore will be featured in "The Wall Flower" at the Star Theater this Saturday. Rupert. Hughes has shown his ingenuity in making his Cinderella a wall flower. She is just that. Nobody loves her. She is only a drudge. However, even a drudge may have wonderful times. The realization comes to her that she is only the sport of her friends—and that is tragedy. 'Nevertheless, there are others who discern the swan in the ugly duckling, and through their efforts change the rough brown feathers to smooth white ones.' And, as in the fairy tale, the prince comes to claim his princess, and they live happily ever after. A realistic picture of villainy is given by Eugene Burr in "Life's Greatest Question" starring Roy Stewart and Louise Lovely-on Sunday. It is a thrilling exposition of the age-old question." Should a woman tell her husband of her past life? However, it would appear that those responsible for this particular production had given up hope of ever finding a suitable solution to this problem in the center of civilization, since they have chosen to make the locale of their story an outpost village in the far North. This original touch brings to the screen one of the most compelling stories of adventure and thrill ever screened in the Northland. William S. Hath will be presented in "White Oak" on Tuesday. "Missing Husbands" will be shown next Thursday and Friday. The heroine is supposed to be the type of woman who drives men to a frenzy of desire, so that they leave home, family, position, everything to grafty her walm. When the French producers were seeking an actress for the part, they had to reckon with the ideal of the character held by the missions of French people who had read "L'Atalide," the novel from which the photoplay made.

Mistleily acquired wife of the village's most prominent citizen, while the former is a courageous member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, in love with the bride's stepdaughter. Such backgrounds make this production, genically, one of the outstanding pictures of the year. It was directed by Harry Heyler, and was photographed in the country in which it is supposed to occur. E. K. Lincoln in 'The Man of Our Continued on Page age" will be featured on Wednesday. This special feature presented by The Aywon Film Corporation tells a highly dramatic story in five thrilling reels of action that keeps one on the edge of his seat throughout the entire presentation. Wallace Reid, Paramount star, who has been seen in several pictures as a racing driver in which he drove big powerful cars around the track, pilots a small "flivver" type of racer in his latest vehicle, "Across the Continent," at The Linecoln Theatre this Sunday. This small "bug" is no small, however, for it dashes across the continent at the rate at eighty-five miles per hour, which is about as fast as it can be run and kept on the ground. A super-feature on Sunday and Monday, will be "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." This is the picture that cost Metro $1,000,000 to make, and from all accounts the $1,000,000 was well spent, as critics agree that all other efforts at production on a grand scale have been surpassed. Fifty-principals and 2,500 extras were engaged in the filming of the photodrama, an entire French village and an elaborate chateau were erected to be destroyed under the artillery bombardment of the German invaders, and more than 125,000 tons of masonry, steel, lumber and furniture were used in creating back grounds that are said to reproduce with absolute fidelity the shifting panorama of the story. The cast of characters is headed by Rudolph Valentiho and Alice Terry. Tom Mix will be presented in "Just Tony," next Thursday. It is a story of Mix's Horse. He was a horse of mystery—wild, determined, and the leader of his herd of desert mustangs. By night he wrought vengeance on man for the cruelties of the brand and incarceration. He opened corrals and liberated the enslaved horses; he trampled fields of grain and destroyed their fruitfulness; he fought mankind-with the mute truculence of a mistreated animal and was victorious. Then he encountered a different sort of man—a man who used neither whip nor choking lariat. "Trouble" "Fools First" And "A Question of Honor." At The Jest-a-nere Jackie Coogan will be presented in "Trouble" at the Jest-a-mere Theatre this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The little seven year old artist plays the role of an orphan who is adopted by the wife of a brutal plumber. The man not only will not work but he beats his beautiful young wife and the little wifo who has come into his home. When Jackie sees his foster mother in fears and realizes there is no food in the house, he undertakes, with disastrous results, to substitute on a plumbing job for the good-for-nothing husband. Though he is a miserable failure as a plumber, the tiny artisan is given five dollars for trying. And when the ruffian tries to take it away from the frail mother Jackie starts a battle that winds up with the brute going to jail for a year. On Wednesday and Thursday, Marshall Neillan's "Fools First" will be presented. It tells of the regeneration of a crock through the wilies of the daughter of a master crook. She apparently abets him in his carefully planned crime, but really aids him in building up a legitimate and highly profitable business for the firm he originally intended to rob. The plot contains some ingenious twists, and is extremely absorbing. Anita Stewart in "A Question of Honor" will be featured next Friday and Saturday. The plot centers around the struggle for a huge valley which has been adapted to irrigation, purposes, and which is being sought by Wall Street'interests for a railroad right of way. The star plays the part of a society girl whose clear insight brings the situation to a happy conclusion. "Just Toney" and "The Bonded Woman." Criterion Features Marion Davies will be presented in "The Young Diana." at The Criterion Theatre this Saturday. Tom Mix will be presented in "Just Tony" on Sunday. It tells the story of a wild mustang, the leader of his desert herd, who seeks vengeance for the cruelties which man has inflicted on him, but who abandons his hatred that he may come under the pro-priestorship of the one man in the world who befriended him. A double feature program, on Monday will consist of Richard Thomas in "Watch Me Jump," and "The Green Eyed Monster," an all-Negro cast photodrama in lily reels. Betty Compson will be presented in "The' Bonded Woman" next Thursday. The scenes are laid for the greater part in the South Seas and the mystic spell of the tropics irritably wins the spectator. The story, by the late John Fleming Wilson, deals with a young woman who pins her faith to a dissipated sailor man and ultimately brings about his regeneration. It proves a grim battle for reclamation of a man's soul, but she wins and abiding love crowns her efforts. Associated Negro Press. NEW LONDON, Conn. Oct. 4.

BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman, of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "The Negro Press in the United States." By frederick G. Detwiller. Published by the University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Ill. Price $5.00. Postage 15c extra. Early in his book, Mr. Detweller quotes Arthur Brisbane as saying that the newspapers reflecting the public, a mirror more or less defective but still a mirror is a mirror and that a paper that the individual holds in his hand reflects that individual share or less accurately. He ends with that paragraph. "Instead of merely reflecting life, the newspaper, in setting themes for discussion and suggesting the fock of attention, helps powerfully to create that life. No part of the Negro race in American is quite stagnant. It may be that those who are on the freestands of their world, chiefly in the cities and the ranks of the educated, are most sensitive to the new forces and new standards. But back in quiet rural areas, others are reading their news and arguments, and the whole mass is responding to the printed suggestion. 'A young Negro is sent to annapolis; THE ST.

Others were the Mirror of Liberty, the Elevator, the Clarison. These papers were, of course, published in the North. One of the finest stories of mutual help is that of James Fortun, colored, sending Gagirson the first money he ever received for the Liberator and encouraging him to go on with his work. Evidently there are few copies to be found of these old publications. They contained a small amount of news and a great deal of agitation. The anti-slavery struggle gave them readers. Mr Dotweller is very lenient in his book upon the shortcomings of the press. He predicts for it a future of increasing power and usefulness. NORTHERN INDUSTRIES ARE AGAIN BIDDING FOR SOUTHERN NEGRO LABOR Indications Point To Another Wholesale Migration. Prosperity Coming Back Again. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, DC. O. Oct. 11. Prosperity has arrived with a bang! That is the information of the best informed people of the land, and it has not waited for the fall elections. It is unquestionable that the passing of the tariff bill has had a stimulating effect on business; and from careful investigation in all sections of the country, it has been found that the folks who are without work now are so because they wish to be. A remarkable revelation has come to light here. Carefully picked representatives of perhaps industrial concerns are known to be in the south seeking colored labor to bring to the North. A number of these representatives have been through Washington, and it is said that the workers are to go to points East, the Middle, and far West. NO WAR TAX NO WAR TAX Open From 6:30 To 11 p. m.

Even a street light, if the racial issue enters in, stiffens the whole line of conflict, and sounds the call to a holy resistance. The advertising pages play their part in influencing the standards of living. And so the press, ephemeral as it is, keeps moving on the main current of interest, and helps to bring into being the life that its pages report." The book from cover to cover shows us not only the value but the absolute necessity of a Negro press. Any racial group in America, and especially an oppressed group, must have its medium for expression, for its own education and also as a safety valve for the utterance of its many wrongs. We see this as we go through the pages filled with excerpts from prominent colored papers voicing the race's wrongs or telling of its triumphs. Here is a summary of the material the average colored paper carries. A statistical study of the Negro newspaper shows that the amount of space devoted to news and opinion seems to average 60 per cent. For the most part the advertising represents local business, generally carried on by Negroes. To the white reader advertisements of cosmetics appear rather prominent. The casual reader of the Negro paper is impressed by the large proportion of opinion as over against news, but this is due largely to the tone of the newswriting. The editorials as such take an average of four per cent of the space. About one seventh of all goes into out-of-town news. Events of general interest having nothing to do with race matters scarcely appear. As for special pages dealing with sports or the theatre, these belong only to the newspapers in larger cities. Such are the results of an analysis of forty typical periodicals." There are 24 periodicals whose names have been preserved as representative of the journalism engaged in by Negroes before the Civil War. "FOOLS FIRST" Presented By MARSHALL NEILAN Whew!

The Associated Negro Press representative has already seen hundreds coming through Washington. On two coaches of a midnight train leaving Washington for New York and other points, more than one hundred were counted, and there was no excursion party. A visit to the union station here at almost any hour will confirm fully this information. Some day Mount Everest will get the merry merry from adventurers men as the North pole did after a century of failures and phobesies that success was impossible.

B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. After attacking the Jews, Negroes, Catholics. Greeks and all foreigners generally in a most vile and scurrilous manner, J. F. Craig an organizer of the Ku Klux Klap made a mockery of prayer by pretending to call on the Lord to bless the Ku Klux Klan, saying the Klan was "Catchching Hell From All Quarters." Of course such utterances could only be made by some poor misguided fanatic who knows nothing about prayer nor the Christian religion. Craig, and the followers of the Ku Klux Klan are disciples of the Devil and when they are catching hell from all quarters, they are only reaping what they are sowing. Let them keep the gait they are now going, and ere long the Invisible Empire will announce it has "Caught hell." No man can speak of the lowly Nazarine and vaunt himself in the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. No man can be a good citizen and be a member of the Klan. They boast of being one hundred percent Americans, when as a matter of fact they are one hundred per cent un-American. They Boast of supporting the Constitution of the United States when as a matter of fact, they are trying to destroy the Constitution of the United States. They deserte the flag and take the name of the Lord in vain. A summary of the Klan would include: An outlaw, race hating, self seeking, grafting organization, to which no true American Citizen would belong. As we count the one hundred and twenty thousand votes which the Negro men and women will cast in this State in November, and during the next moment we see how little this vote will possibly benefit us as a group, we can't but clearly see that there is something radically wrong with our method of playing the game. After a careful study of the situation, we have come to the same conclusion of which others have arrived long ago—and that is, the lack of proper leadership. The trouble with the leadership is, they are as a rule, "hand picked" by the bosses and the interests of the people are soon forgotten. These hand picked leaders owe their allegiance to the bosses, and they say only what they are told. Just suppose for a moment that under the proper leadership, just a hundred thousand votes were cast for the real benefit of the group; not for aggrandizement of one or two individuals, or for a few minor jobs for a select few, but a hundred thousand votes cast according to the dictation of intelligent, unselfish leadership. If this was done our status would change. Instead of hanging on like a kite's tail, we would take our places among men; instead of crawling as it were, on our bellies and begging for recognition, we would be upstanding men and women defending our rights. With a hundred thousand votes in the State, we should be able to cure most of our ills. Politics Rule The World. It is the science of government. If we are to appropriate it to our use and benefit, we must study it just as we would any other science. As we see the present condition of affairs, and at the same time think of what they ought to be, the word "tragedy" comes to our mind. We can't but say, surely we are our worst enemies. Yet, the remedy is simple and is within the grasp of each of us. Let us think, think a little for ourselves. Let us see who are those who pose as leaders. Let us see what they stand for. Are those who stand for the rights of the people, or are they those who have the halter about their necks? We should determine these facts. In times like these, we need men and women, strong men and women. Those who have the interest of the race at heart. Study your subject and refuse to be led by any other class. By all means, elect Brewster for the United States Senate. Jim Reed won't do. Some of the Party leaders are no longer hiding the fact that they are going to vote for Jim Reed, yet they tell the Negroes, you must be one hundred per cent Republican—some nerve. KLAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Of course it is against the laws of the Klan for any one to tell who their members are.

Surely it is up to President Harding to deny or affirm. ONE HUNDRED PER CENT AMERICANS. After listening to about 150 foreigners telling of their loyalty, to this government before his court a few days ago, Judge Dyer took occasion to say that the one Negro who came before his honor was the only one hundred per cent American who had come before him during the day. Judge Dyer knows what he is talking about. That is not the first time he has passed upon the Negroes loyalty. Remember the famous segregation decision. We are not alarmed over the lack of interest on the part of the Republicans to elect certain candidates on the regular Republican ticket. So far as we are concerned we feel that we as a group have no more to lose than the other fellow. In fact we have none of the fat jobs to miss as the thousands of others, so why should we worry or be alarmed? Don't sit around and whine about what the other fellow is doing to you.

WILLIAM WIDER Amicalt. This space will be devoted each week to a discussion of Community Problems and Current Topics. By Geo. W. Buckner SOME ONE TO CARE A careful study of the successful men reveals that his achievements have not been made single handed. He has had in the majority of cases a supplement in the person of a wife, a husband, or a friend, who having sensed his worth, furnished the necessary stimulus to make his possibilities indeed his realities. These supplements, or persons behind the scapegoat, are not always known, neither are they always compensated nor are they often given due credit for their services BUT THEY ARE-TRULY INDISPENSABLE Henry Ford attributes his great success largely to his wife who in his early struggles carefully advised upon every venture he made Charles M. Schwab who was offered $50,000,000 for his interest in the Bethlehem Steel Works turned the offer down flat because his wife deemed it unwise to sell. He claims SHE had earned more than half their fortune in the H-O-M-E. Few men acknowledge this! The press recently reported a musician as finding himself when a friend told him of his possibilities. The world is literally pregnant with such examples. Big men, fortunately, are becoming more numerous who acknowledge, unintentionally, the part their assistants play in music. If the six greatest men in history selected by H. G. Wells were studied no doubt, each would show that a second person CARED for their 4- interests, TOLD them so, and HELPED them to become great. Wells did not pick the leaders in battle. They rule by words of iron! Wells picked men who advanced civilization Their work calls for genuine assistance of the highest order! Some one who cares! Even the work of the Christ, stripped of its divine character, would have been a dismal failure had it not been for those who cared for HIM and HIS cause. Who would rise above his fellowman in a big and worthy way is to find those who are capable of serving his cause, to appreciate their worth, and to use them to promote civilization. Progress soap becomes static if there is not some one to care. Protecting Racial Minorities "U.S. in need with Britain is protecting racial minorities in near East." My God! Did you read that and think of the fate of the Dyer Bill? Our Holy high minded white people? A very learned and naturally intelligent white person said to the writer in few days ago. The Dyer Bill is minimally important. What should be done in the matter, (lynching), is enforcement of existing laws which cover the case. The situations of the Christians at Constantinople and Negroes in America are not comparable. Turks are practically savages and American white people are CHRISTIANS! This with the report of 400 lynchings of Negroes in his hand! Christians—BAH! A Colored lady filled with righteous anger went into the office of a colored businessman. The gentleman doesn't lay any claim to "Doctor" "Professor" "Leader" "Capitalist"—he is not a bit particular about "Mister." He has not attended any universities, but he handled the angry lady's complaint and ushered her out of his office a better friend to his business than ever. That's diplomacy. Any man who can handle an angry woman so as to make her his pleased friend in five minutes has the most valuable sort of education obtainable. **Vituperation** When will our highly trained, capable leaders learn that for every knock there's a rebound? And when will our pleasure they get out of the idle tearing down of their friends' characters by gossip is not commensurate with the irreparable harm they do? Some of our great leaders remind us of a few empty minded women at a talk fest. Some of the greatest minds amongst Negroes are being wasted in persistent destruction. It never did does not and never will, pay either inclination or the race. **Commerce** St. Louis Colored people need a bank. A bank is to commerce what fuel is to an engine. Commerce is to pro-scribed groups what armies are to nations. Whether you save or spend banks make a profit on your money. If you save it the bank gets it directly and if you spend it its bound to come to some kind of bank finally. At a conservative estimate there three millions of dollars, cash, owned by colored St. Louisans. The Race gets its interest, (4 to 75%) real earning power, their money is never spent there. There are no colored bank officials and but few, if any, colored bank stock owners, and less than a dozen first-class colored business establishments in the city, out of the 70,000 of our people. Of that dozen there are very few which can command the loan resources of any bank. Employers We know all about the proper functioning of employees. Colored employees of labor have a lot to learn about the proper functioning of an employer. A man who can hire labor is not in the position of an employee. As the employer must a salary worth as much consideration as any other valuable thing. Good men come high in money chip in the final balance. High class workmen are in demand and the em- ployer who tries to get the greatest possible service must work through the wrong end of the glass. The right idea is to pay GOOD men all the business can stand. In that way employees service and personal interest are obtained. CHEAP men are working for their wage only. High grade men are working for their wage and the success of their employer. Our Problem. The Race question at first was a problem between the south and the Negro. At this time it is a problem between the Negro and the world Southern propaganda, publicity, whatever you want to call it. has taken a few facts about Negroes and built up a connection which is basically the test of the teh Negroes caliber is whether he can take all the facts in the case and are but the evil that has been built against him. Books and Papers The world judges a man or group by what the world can see. White men who would never go into a Negro church would read a Negro newspaper or book. A French, Russian, British, Turkish or Japanese working man can and probably does, judge American Negroes by translations of Negro books and periodicals. Politicians to whom public opinion is life only know what Negroes are thinking through the Negro Press. The best brains of the world could find plenty of occupation in handling the Negro Press situation. As it is some of the best brains among Negroes fail to take on a passive interest in it. Colored editors who have pioneered in the field of journalism, in many cases poorly equipped in training, finance or natural ability, have attempted to carry the whole burden of the race. Some editors have succeeded, financially and some few have built up a powerful influence in their cities but the combined power of the whole Negro Press is not capable of doing the Negro good in world opinion to the extent that one great daily can do harm. The American attitude on large questions of national importance is to "Let George Do It", and Ngroes are esentially Americans. Letting George do it in the case of our newspapers however, is too dangerous.—In many cases George is not capable of doing it from lack of knowledge of means and methods and in other cases George is more interested in looking after George than in looking after the case at hand.

Traced Back To Gorilla This May Account For The Bad Exhibitions Of Temper He Has Been Showing During The Recent Years Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Ill. Oct. 11.—The study of Antiforology has been given another boost by Arthur Brishane, the noted Hearst editor, on the one hand and M. D. Boyce, the terrible hunter of big African game and erstwhile editor and publisher of the Saturday Blade, on the other hand. Mr. Brishane discourses in the columns of the Herald-Examiner the other morning thursly: "When he saw a natural born conqueror, you see blue or gray eyes, unusually. For instance, Napoleon, Alexander, Caesar, Foch.-Charles XII, George Washington—all men with blue eyes. Brown and black eyes are admirable for sentiment; therefore, very pleasing and promising in women. But the quality that cuts through and gets things done seems to go with the blue or gray eyed man—for instance, Rockefeller, Gary, Armourt. This annoys men with height, but it shouldn't. Brown eyes, this time, may change to blue or gray eyes in the next incarnation." Mr. Boyce brings to light in the Blade the following choice bit purporting to be a report of an interview he had with Paul du Challin the distinguished French African explorer. The Blade editor reports du Challin "I felt almost like a murderer when I saw the gorillas the first time. As they ran on their bind legs, they looked fearfully like hairy men, with their heads down, their bodies inclined forward; their whole was a sight I think never to forget. Nearly six foot high (he proved two inches shorter), with immense body, huge muscles, fiercely glaring large, deep-gray eyes, and a hellish expression of face, which seemed to be like some night- Chas.

See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO NASHVILLE SCHOOLS LARGE REGISTRATION Fisk University, A. & I. State Normal, Meharyan, Walden, Roger Williams. All Are Taxed To Their Capacity. By B. THEO. McINTOSH NASHVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 18. (Special) The opening of the various schools has caused a large number of students from all over the country to flock to this city. Each of the schools have added to their faculty and also registered a record breaking enrolment Fisk University The registration began at Fisk University Saturday morning, Sept. 30, and continued Monday and Tuesday with a large number of the old students and surprising number of new ones. The registration is more than crowding the dormitory accommodations of the institution; also a large number of city students have matriculated The annual raising of the flag was observed at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday, with Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, vice president of Gamma Theological Seminary as the speaker of the occasion. At 11 o'clock the formal opening of the year occurred in Livingstone chapel. At this time the president will address the students. The Harmon Foundation of New York City an organization which loans money to college and professional seniors in an affirmative basis, has admitted Flik university to its loan plan, the first Negro college to have this advantage. A number of the upper classmen will thus be able to secure the funds for continuance and completion of their college course. A. & I. State Normal On the 26th of September the annual opening service of the Tennessee A. & I. State Normal School was held in the auditorium. Prof. W. J. Hale addressed the student body and welcomed all the new students to the institution. Many additions have been made to the faculty which insures better and more systematic instruction. The new dining hall between the girls' dormitory and the administration building, has not yet been completed, but it is expected that it will soon be of valuable service to the students. Mebray Medical Colleges The 47th session of the Mehary Medical College opened Monday, Oct. 2, also the 37th session of the dental department on the same date. The department of pharmacy will open Oct. 21 in its 32nd session. Every department is opening at full capacity. The officers of the college have been making extensive improvements during the summer, adding greatly to the equipment and apparatus of the various laboratories. All the buildings recently acquired from the Walden College property have been repaired and many alterations made. One of the greatest improvements is the equipping of Whestone Hall for the pathological laboratory at an expense of $1,000. This hall will accommodate 50 students. A new X-ray machine has been installed at Hubbard Hospital and the old equipment of the hospital has been renovated. Thirty-eight new dental chairs have been added to the dental department and the capacity of the operating room of this department has been more than doubled. Melahary College will this year give free treatment at the Hubbard Hospital to any person who cannot afford to pay the regular physician fees. In addition to this, three other free dispensaries have been established. The first time in the history of the college, it has quarters for its Y. M. C. A. The entire second floor of the old dining hall on the Walden campus is being devoted to this work. The new quarters of the Walden School afford many more conveniences and insure better results for the students. It is located on the Murphysboro road just a little out from the city. The opening date was Oct. 2, and many new faces are seen among the students, although there is a large number of the old students. The faculty is almost entirely composed of new members. Roger Williams University On the 27th of September the Roger Williams University held its opening services. The faculty is composed of many of the old members and Prof. Owens, the president, looks forward to a very prosperous school year. The enrollment appears to be nearing its capacity. New students are still coming in while the local attendance has increased considerable. Pearl High School The local high school was the first to open on September 8th the opening date, many were surprised at the number that enrolled. A larger per cent of the students who finished in the grade schools are registered in the high school this season than in former years. Much local interest is centered on the inter-scolastic activities this season and the fans are expecting a better brand of football and basketball. The first game of the season will be played on this Saturday, Oct. 7th at the Athletic Field. Pearl High meet Clarkeville High School. Coach Harrison has been working hard to round the team into form. TUSKEGEE OPENS WITH ENROLLMENT OF 1,600 TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Oct. 11.--The opening day enrollment of the Forty-second Scolastic Year was more than 1,600 and surpassed that of any other year. The enrollment of been able to register and others are coming in on every train. The enrollment of the year is expected to reach the 2,000 mark. Among the students who have enrolled for this year, are representatives of every Southern State; of several Northern and Western States; of South American, Central America, African and the Phillipine Islands. Large Entering Class At Howard University WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11—Howard University began its academic year Monday, Oct. 2, with the largest entering class, in its collegiate department ever registered in a University specializing in the training of young colored men and women. There is an increase of approximately 25 per cent in the number of applications which have been received during the year and in spite of their rigid "weeding out" nearly 400 applicants have been granted permission to register as Frenchmen. A marked trend is noticed in the large number of students entering Howard with advanced standing, having received prior training at other colleges and having been placed for by the new rating which Howard University received last year when its collegiate department was placed on the approval list of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, the President of the University, at the chapel exercises welcomed the students to Howard and counseled them regarding the tasks of the school year laying before them. In his opening address at the chapel, Dr. Durkee said: "The College year 1923-1925 opens suspiciously not only for our own Howard University, but for America as a whole. Therefore every school and college, in the land must teach morals as well as science, must properly discipline the emotional life well as the physical life. But the student is a immoral or immoral student is a liability rather than an asset to our nation." "In welcoming you students to this new year of study, I have for you a few thoughts that I can but hope will claim your careful consideration and your hearty endorsement." "You have your personal problems to meet. You have often thought they were particular to you. Your problems of finance, social intercourse, college standing, choice of profession, and a hundred such perplexing questions are ever present with you. Yet, these are questions common to all struggling-aspiring students. Others by the hundred thousand have met and solved them. You can do it, and you will comforted by the thought that there hath no struggle nor temptation befallen you that is not common to all mankind. You have racial problems which tax your mind and harm some of your friends and endeavors. Again develop the finer appreciations of life, those problems will more and more test your endurance and strain your faith. Many of those problems are such as are common to every up-struggling race, whether for the first climbing up or climbing back again after centuries of interia." Since last June, many changes have been made in the Faculty of the Howard University. One of the most pleasing changes has been that of the appointment of M. Matthew O. Sleave as Dean of the Howard University full of best for her work and the influence of her line character is expected to be felt throughout the University student life. During the summer months many improvements to the building and grounds have been made. The administration of the Howard University welcomed residents students to the Dundalk Campus in 1922. The building is the most beautiful and modernly equipped of any on the University grounds. In addition to many improvements made to the interior of the various University buildings, attention have been given to the laying of walks about the grounds to add both to the convention center and to the University School Overground. Owing to the action of the Board of Trustees of the Board of the Howard University requiring that all entering classes in the School of Medicine limited to 50 students, quite a large number of applicants have had to be denied admission. In order to accommodate the large number of students in the Dental College, it was necessary that temporary additions be made to the Dental infirmary to provide space for additional chairs and laboratory facilities. The continued overcrowding of the School of Medicine with present facilities the continual increase each year in the number of applicants for admission has heightened interest in the Howard University campaign to secure the $250,000.00 which it must raise in order to secure the conditional offer of $250,000.00 from the General Education Board for the endowment of School of Medicine.

B. H. Pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church Who Enjoys Confidence Of His Members. Sunday, October 8th, 1922, will long be remembered by the members and friends of Tabernacle Baptist Church, 2726 Pine St. This present church was organized about 20 years ago with a membership of 72 and on last Sunday, 1923, the church was installed and were present, occupying reserved seats in front, and one of that number is now past 101 years of age; and when the time came to burn the mortgage, she was assisted to a chair on the platform and held the mortgage while the Pastor Moseley's little grand daughter, San Bonita, the youngest member of the church applied the match; it was a grand sight to see Sorber Well with play bells replacing the flame consumed the mortgage. A special program and been arranged by those Th charge appropriate for the occasion. And long before the hour appointed for the program to start the members and friends of the church came position in, evidently to witness a something seldom seen. Dr. T. J. Caston, palead of the State' hapital Convention, and as Ms. Tabernacle and Institut fell well chosen women received the history of the church and its struggles to reach this day. The Tabernacle Baptist Church re-registered select and appropriate music for the occasion. The ignited distinguished guests on the platform were: Judge John W. Calhoun of the Circuit Court and Atty. Ben Phillipson, who was the attorney for the grantors or owners of the church property. Atty. Phillipson spoke very feelingly the great achievement and accomplished, in so short a time, and gave them much encouragement to continue to follow their great and masterless leader. Dr. Samuel A. Moseley: he expressed himself as being more than delighted to receive an invitation to be present on this momentous occasion. Judge John W. Calhoun was then presented who made a wonderful impression upon the great audience by the timely hints or suggestions that make or accuse him of being an exceptional honor to be present, but like Attorney Phillipson was unable to; understand why he had been invited. The Master of Ceremonies then presented Attorney Freeman I. Martin, who appears to be very popular with 'the congregation' it was left to him to explain to the 'two distinguished visitors' why they were there; his explanation was vivid, humorous and eloquent, and it must have been to their liking because he received great applause and laughter; he then told in detail the pastor's relation to deed of purchase to the church property, and how the pastor had found 'the congregation' out of doors and the entire indebtedness and he and his wife deeded the property to the Tabernacle Baptist Church, a thing sedum, if ever done by a pastor of a church; but the congregation had confidence in Dr. Moseley and he had unlimited confidence in their christian integrity. Dr. O. C. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church was then presented who made a timely and inspiring address, and told them how he could with them enjoy immensely this hour because he and his congregation had only recently hurried their mortgage; he complimented the spirit and enthusiasm and zeal with which they worked, and closed their church to their intrepid, far-searing and Christian leaders and pastor, Dr. Samuel A. Moseley, whom he had learned to love and respect. And bade them God's speed and continued fellowship and love, and pictured a great church for them in the near future. Brother, Chas H., Temple, Chiefman of the Trustee Board was then presented who in turn presented the members who were in the original organization 20 years ago, among them was Mother Pell past 101 years of age. Mother Miles past 101 years of age. Mother Phloem where she held the postage while the little grand daughter of Dr. Mosley, San Bounta Slaughter, the youngest member of the church applied the match to the mortgage which was a signal for the choir who began to sing. "Free at last, Free at last," Thank God Almighty. We are free at last. The great church was the best. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCT. 13, 1922 Judge Culpech and Atty. Phillipson assisting The Pastor's Aid Society then made a presentation to Dr. Moseley through Brother Washington of a sum of money close to a hundred dollars as a small token of the high esteem for the great work he had done since coming to them about 8 years ago. Dr. Moseley responded with appropriate words with a feeling that touched everyone: his words had the ring of sincerity and Christian love for his people and expressed himself as deprived that he had been able to serve them and to lead them out of the wilderness into the land of promise and hope.

LIBERIAN LOAN MAY BE MADE'IN EUROPE LIBERIAN LOAN MAY BE MADE'IN EUROPE The Frames-Liberian Borer Said To Play Part, In Negotiations, Of Colored Republic, Shrewd More Necessary. WASHINTON, D. C. Oct. 3.—The Liberian Loa situation has taken on new meanings in the light of rumors which are rife at the capital. It has stated that Edwin Barclay, Foreign Minister in conference with President Palmer of France at Paris and it is even more widely rumoured that some French statesmen look with suspicion on some of the provisions of the Liberian $3,000,000 loan. It is stated on pretty good authority that if the Liberian loan fails to pass the Senate Liberia may be forced to get to Europe for the money which is necessary to the economic life of the country. France and Great Britain both have greater economic interests in Liberia than has the United States. Great Britain's well known policy of ruthless murderous subjugation of the enemy leaves the doubt in informal minds in the two nations Liberian statesmen would wish for financial help and its ensailed obligations. French territories in Africa horters Liberia on three sides. The French colonial policy of renovizing citizens of the colonies as equal in all things creates an interesting possibility of friendly cooperation between Liberia and France.

GEORGIA JUDGE ORDERS A PROBE OF OUTRAGES GEORGIA JUDGE ORDERS A PROBE OF OUTRAGES Says That Reign Of Terror Must Be Stopped And Law And Order Restored At All Costs. Professor News Service WINNER, G. Oct. 6. Describing that five white men and ten Negroes have been the victim of alleged outrageous assaults of a powerful sinister influence in Barrow county during the last few months, Judge Blanton Fortson of Superior Court called on the grand jury last Thursday morning to investigate the reign of terror which he charged is rampant throughout the county. "Who is doing this?" Judge Fortson asked, referring to the alleged outrages. "It is done by an organized band who have deliberately sought to create a reign of terror, or was it started by men with more, or less other objects, who undertook to arraign unto themselves the functions of government and have allowed the situation to get beyond their control? Is it being done by men who still believe they can usurp the functions of the courts?" The jurist said that men who thought that they could seepely arrogate to themselves the administration of punishment wore lacking in knowledge of history or the understanding of human nature. "Law and order must be restored at all costs. Citizens of Barrow county must take steps to remove this bigot of hoodliness sweeping over the country. I call upon the liberty-loving, self-speaking and 'law abiding' citizenry to help clear the good name of the county from this curse," he declared. NEGRO DEFENDS SELF FROM MOB.

O. P NEW JERSEY ONLY STATE IN WHICH NEGRO VOTERS ARE OPPOSING THE G. O. P Antagonism Has Abated In The Other States. There Will Be Some Shifting But Not As Much As Was Feared. Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 4.—The tide is on for the closing weeks of the present Senatorial and Congressional campaign. Practically all of the nominations have been made and committees are at work. There is nation-wide interest in the attitude of Colored Americans during the campaign of 1922. Careful inquiry by The Associated Negro Press into the subject of votes discloses the fact that all will be some shifting but certainly not such as seemed possible earlier in the year. The spirit of independence has not died out, but the radical antagonism has abated. Even in the editorials of the newspapers, there is a note of conciliation carefully discriminating. The opinion with reference to the policies of the President, especially in the matter of appointments and ideas of the South, has not changed. But it is noted that practically all of the newspapers are backing Senatorial and Congressional candidates of their various states and districts on the Republican ticket. The most notable exception is New Jersey, where Gov. Edwardws as the Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator is expected by his party managers to receive a number of Colored votes. There is an evident turn of the tide to the part of propensity, and the thinking men and women of the races are mixing their political activity with material development. "With business advancement to back up our political demands," declared one prominent business man, "we can get more favorable consideration. Commercial progress will make us independent in thought and action. We must not give up political interest, but we must show genuine independence of the petty conditions of the case."

LANE TABERNACLE SUNDAY SCHOOL A few years ago—in 1910 when a little Christian gentleman returned from the mud and mire of the French battlefields, he returned to Lane Tabernacle post haste. He was very young, but here in Lane Tabernacle he had been connected with the Steward Board before going to France. His name is Elmer E. Phelps and his work had been mostly with the official board. When Phelps returned from France Lane Tabernacle was closing out the old year and beginning the new. All offices were vacant; this is so at the close of the year in all C. M. E. Churches everywhere. N. L. N. S. gifted Judge of what a man or woman can or will do was looking for a Sunday School Superintendent. When Phelps returned he didn't look any further—that is after he looked at Phelps. The people were all surprised when Rev. Smith announced that Mr. Elmer Earl Phelps would be the new Sunday school superintendent for the new year, but they were no more surprised than Mr. Phelps himself. Ask what he called Phelps do, and Phelps himself wondered what he could do. But that was almost three years ago. Polks don't ask what Phelps can do now, they wonder if there is anything that he cannot do. Last Wednesday night the Sunday School celebrated, at which Mr. Phelps was the center of attraction. Phelps has been other places besides France, he has been through Lane College at Jackson, Tennessee. He speaks well, he acts well, the 22 Sunday School teachers love him because he has an admirable disposition. Every one present last Wednesday night was served free with select refreshments. Mr. Phelps started this two years ago and has kept it up. Reports showed that the Sunday School had raised $1500 in general collections throughout the year. Mr. Phelps has made good with the select group of teachers—most of whom he selected, himself. he has given Lane, Tabernacle a 'Sunday School that ranks first with all St. Louis' Sunday school years. Last Sunday morning attendance was 258, collection $33.00. The Morning Star Class took both banners and collected a couple of gold stars.

Oct. 5, Savannah Bowers, who was brought to the City Hospital last Thursday shortly before midnight, bleeding profusely from a wound in the forehead, is said to have just returned to the city from a job outof-town with a big black roll. Bowers planned to swind a wild night with the ladies in the reallight district. But during his night of frolic he told the police that he was "touched" for his funk roll, and when he accused the woman, in whose company he was at the time, she is said to have attacked him with a "larg knife. The police say that Bowers could not give them the name of the woman, nor could he give them the location of the house, where the alteration occurred. The authorities believe that Bowers knows the woman and the place where he had the trouble. They are holding him on a charge of disturbing the peace pending the arrest of the unknown woman. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. H. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR OCTOBER 15 THE MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST LESSON TEXT—Luke 31:22. GOLDEN TEXT—Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand—Matt. 3:2. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Matt, 11:29; Phil. 2:5-11. PRIMARY TOPIC—What John Said About Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—John Preaching and Baptizing INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Fearless Reformer. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Repentance: What It Is and What It Does. I. The Degeneracy of the Times (vv. 1, 2). The Jews had sunk to a very low level of civil, moral and religious life. Luke carefully enumerates the civil and religious rulers in order to show the profligacy of the times, and therefore the need of a messenger to call the people back to God and virtue. Herod, the son of the Great, was a murderer. Annas and Cataphas were corrupt ecclesiastical rulers. II. The Nature of John's Ministry (vv. 3, 6). In the wilderness he underwent a discipline which fitted him for his task. Out of the wilderness he flashed forth preaching, the baptism of repentence for the remission of sins (v. 3). This ministry is declared to be a fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy. The message was described as one calling upon the nation to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. This preparation was presented under the figure of a monarch of the East about to make a journey. A servant was sent before to prepare the highway. Valleys needed to be filled, mountains and hills needed to be lowered, crooked places needed to be made straight and rough places needed to be made smooth. Today before the nations will receive Christ the valleys need to be filled with righteous deeds, the exceeding high mountains of sin and iniquity need to be brought low, the crooked dealings of the business world must be straightened out, and the rough ways of nations and individuals must be smoothed out. Men must repeat of their sins before they can receive Christ. 111. The Content of John's Message (vv. 7-13). 1. Denunciation of Sin (vv. 7, 8). He called them "a generation of vipers." "This shows that he charged them with deceitfulness and wickedness. Knowing the subtle hypocrisy of these Jews, he demanded evidence of their sincerity—the gentulness of their repentance was to be demonstrated by their works. 2. Announcement of Judgment (v. 9). He declared that the axe was laid at the root of the tree and that the tree not bringing forth fruit was to be hewn down and cast into the fire. John made it very plain that for their sins they should be called into judgment. Paul's preaching of a judgment to come made Felix tremble (Acts 24:25). 3. Instructions to the Inquirers (vv. 10-14). (1) The people (vv. 10, 11). Each man was to turn from his besetting sin and show love and kindness to his fellow men. Clothing and food were to be given those who had need. They were to turn from a life of selfishness and greed and do unto others as they would be done by. (2) Publicans (vv. 12, 15). These taxgatherers who were guilty of greed and oppression were not asked to give up their occupation, but to exact only that which was appointed by law. (3) The soldiers (vv. 14). These were likely the policemen of that day—at least men on military duty. He told them to extort money from no man, to accuse none falsely, and to be content with their wages. To all these classes he made it clear that they should henceforth perform their duty from a motive of love instead of selfishness and greed. 4. Testimony to Jesus (vv. 15-18). The people were musing in their hearts as to whether John was indeed the Messiah. When John perceived this he with fine humility declared that his mission was so lowly in comparison, with Christ's that he would be unworthy to perform the menial act of a slave in losing the latchet of His shoes. John baptized with water, but Christ, he declared, would baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire. IV. John's imprisonment (vv. 19, 20).

The Periscope Bp Associated Negro Press Associated Negro Press. AN AFRICAN ELEGY. By Maynard H. Jackson. A great deal came to the writer during his sojourn in Liberia concerning the late Colonel Charles Young. Military attaché to American Legation at Monrovia. Most of the information secured sheds a rather sad after glow on a life which few must have known to understand. The man's soul and energy were filled and consumed by his interest in the people of America and one who runs across the path of his activities in the Great Creaton must feel that Africa has suffered a great loss in this Musician Thinker Soldier of the great heart and ready sympathy. As in most similar cases, they were those who misunderstood, even resented, his activities and did as much as possible to disturb an existence so peaceful in its pursuits that it was proof against any such outside interference. One can reach no community of interest in Liberia where he has not been; whenever there may have been a religious festival or the singing of native songs he journeyed. It seems, in fact, that the pursuit of this great interest was indirectly responsible for the loss of our ranking officer. The story comes to us that Colon-Young was tracing the development of a rather strange West Indian religion and had succeeded in locating the elements at Fernando Po, a Spanish possession in Northwest Africa. It was told by an officer on one of the English ships by which he had gone down the coast on his last voyage. The characteristic which was so prominent during his whole life played an important part in death. Colon-Young. It seems, boarded the ship with a severe cold, which had been contracted during his journeying and assisted the ship's doctor in treating a native who had been injured. During the treatment the fellow who was in great pain struck the Colonel in the chest with his knee, the blow precipitated the illness which was already laying hold of him and he was landed in a critical condition, never to recover. The little act of kindness was perhaps responsible for the passing of one who was always kindly when duty permitted. It is to be hoped that the work which Colonel Young accomplished in the study of native customs will not be widheld and that a publication of his findings will soon be announced; by chance we learned that he had collected and arranged a number of the West African melodies. Every ship on which he has "roasted it" remembers "The Colonel's Amplified Native Songs." In the pursuit of our beginnings and the beauty of that which has been our for the centuries, he died. And a little deed of kindness sped him up. A GOOD EXAMPLE Journalism for the Negro has pass of the pioneer stage and is an established institution. With the graduation of trained journalists from the making among the colored people is assured a great future. In the graduation class of eleven hundred at Ohio State University this year, there was one colored girl, Miss Bernice N. Copeland of Winchester, Ind., who received a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism, the first to be so honored in the United States. The branches of study which are required for this degree includes a two year cultural course in the college of arts, philosophy and science and two years in the journalism department where the major work is done in news, headlines, and editorial writing; history, ethics, and law of journalism; advertising, and the mechanics of news paper making. Service to the public is the main purpose of the newspaper and as a graduate journalist, Miss Copeland prepared and ready to go wherever she may render the greatest service THE ETERNAL TURK Well, the Tureman did it and made them like it. Since the Turks have now shown so much of the same brutal military capacity as the "Christian" natives, it would seem to be in order to revive those passages in Christian prayerbooks, which very concretely ask the Lord to have mercy on "Jewish, Turks, infidels, and beasts." Neither Jew nor Turk merits that style of Christian "Charity." We might just as well mention in our concert prayers the English, the French, the Italians, and the Lloyd Georges. One paper says, "The Sick Man returns to Europe." We wish to add that he seems to be about the wellest sick man in those parts today. Perhaps his vacation did him good. We cannot say that it is especially good thing that the Turkish power may come back into Eastern Europe, but we can say that the Turks have shown themselves about as fit to have all races under their power as have the Akgo-Saxens. The other week the English or British of South Africa killed every adult male of a particular marmed savage tribe because of some dispute about a "dog tax." The Turks originally came out of the bleak highlands of interior Asia four thousand years they have maintained themselves in Asia Minor and in Eastern Europe. They adopted Mohammessim from the Arabia, and they became its chief defenders. Their surroundings and physical location have not herefore seemed to admit of the highest development of science and social civilization. But in this last little game they seemed to have taken enough from the "village" to turn it against their teachers with a vengeance that was surprising. The treatment which the other "white" nations have accorded Russia also helped the Turk, for Russia made a show of being ready to harm the Turk, England blustered, mobilized a great fleet, talked big and backed down. France, who has also learned a thing or two in the last two years from Anglo-Saxon coolness, added the Turk, indirectly by "falling to stare by and second the threats of the English Kenneth, who had the good word." sion of Darwinism. He drew an unwarranted conclusion from Darwin that all the "lower races" (making it plain that he meant non-white races) would undoubtedly be, everminated along with the "anthropoid apes," so that the "gap" of "missing links" would be wider than ever, as it would be bounded on its upper side by the "white races," and on its under side by the lesser simians. The fellow coolly and very unscientifically announced that all such inferiores as millions Chinese, Japanese, Negroes, and what not would be "exterminated." He did not set the date, but he expects that to happen. Well the "furk does not seem to be taking very kindly, so its extermination, and it is our prediction that, when the time comes, Chinese and African Negroes will object just as decisively. his race in the neighborhood where lives.

A recent editorial in The New Age of Los Angeles, Calif., discusses the Decline and Tottering of one of the distinguished leaders of the race. The editorial is acutely interesting. Acutely, I say, because it seeks to analyze the cause for the "tottering and decline." The main in question is undeniably one of the distinctive figures of the race in this country. He has been eminently successful. In, the due course of reasonable time he will be able to determine with some degree of accuracy whether or not his life production can be stamped safely an unquestionable achievement. There are many instances of arrested growth recorded in the histories of men who, early in their lives, have been accorded honor places by their contemporaries. Later they have been adjudged merely flashes of light in an otherwise a dunk and dark period of time. Like the new stars they come and almost quite as suddenly they went their brilliant way to join the things easily lost and easily forgotten. Men deserve what they earn. No measure of assumption will give them more than they earn. And it is almost the worthwhile compensation of life to know that what "I have done worthily" will finally be acclaimed good. Therefore I say let him strut who feels he must, time will take good care that the strut shall become a stout limbs and a sound heart. In the matter brought to our notice by the very suggestive, editorial of The New Age's writer, I opine that he or she may be getting the very estimable James Weldon Johnson into a peek of unsolicited trouble. At no place have I seen it heralded that the aforesaid gentleman has shown, even the smallest desires, to step into the shoes of the other aforesaid declining and tottering leaders of the race. I take it upon myself to inform the editorial department of the famed Los Angeles weekly that Mr. Johnson sits quite close to the throne. After I catch my breath, I will further inform the aforesaid editorial department that in other times that these men have been known to lose their heads because they looked too longingly at the throne and attachments. Mr. Johnson, I take it, is human kindly and perhaps, shrewly human. If this be so, I believe he would much rather sit living next to the and tottering; that the head wearing throne than die seeking its unstable dizzy heights. And finally I can not do other than sincerely believe though the Age may see a "decline the crown at this period of the race's history in nowise lies uneasy. In the bright decisions of "leaders" there are no such words as "decline" and "tottering." A SONNET Associated Negro Press. I would give love to all the poor that men.

It is a sullen picture that Mr. Sherwood paints.

It may yet fall to the Negro to give the world a true civilization. Who knows? EDITORIAL SQUIBBS his race in the neighborhood where he lives. ONE WEEK IN MONROVIA Associated Negro Press. Monrovia: August, 0. 1922 Annual, 1. August, 1. Liberia at present is representing the Scene of a Program. The feeling of Liberians are running high against the acceptance of the American Loan which is being forced on unwilling Liberia. Under the guise of Moral Obligation Big America is setting forth herself upon imperialistic ventures which have become to her of much sinister significance in her present-day policies. No one has heretofore doubted the disinterestness of American action in Liberia essential interests—today her sinister engagements and adventures cannot but be conditioned by the concrete material demands of the dreams of her Great African Empire when we are pointed to Cuba, Haiti, Hawaii, the Philippines, Panama, and Nicaragua as shining examples of American Moral Obligation in small countries unable to defend themselves her Calousness and political Cynicism. The American Five Million Dollar Loan Agreement forced on Liberia carrying such suspicions and revolutionary suggestions to the Liberian people is causing a sudden fear of the Liberian people of a Moral Obligated Friend who brings such gifts. It is true indeed that Liberians are forced to take with open eyes a Gold coated pill of American Political demand and we are forced to make political concessions which it will be impossible to rescind. The Loan Agreement has no fixed date of termination and the only right reserved to the Liberian Government is to pay off the Loan when Liberia will be able to "Pay Off the Loan", when burdened with high salaried officials drawing within five years Five Million Dollars in wages. God only knows. There arrived here today under Military arrest from Ground Bassa, Logans, Green, Harris, Ricks, who are said to form the "Order of the Ring" at Grand Bassa and concerned in the burning of a British Traders Residence, the killing of a Fantee man and the looting of Merchants' shops. August 9 President called Cabinet meeting today. After leaving Cabinet, Attorney General Grimes looked very depressed. It was learned later that it becomes his important duty to unearth the Grand Bassa Conspiracy. The Government in paying off the salaries of hero officials retained six per cent to aid in the re-election of President King. Certain Government officials, the clerk in the Department of War, the jailer, and clerks of the Printing Department threatened to strike. Virginia Brass Band with a retinue of citizens called at the Executive Mansion and assured President King of his re-election. Dutch Steamer arrived here bringing a very large cargo. Today was: passed off by a Conference at the Executive Mansion in which the Citizens of Brewerville were up against the citizens of Virginia on a Boundary Question. This matter is of a long standing nature and has greatly hampered the cultivation of coffee of Brewerville Planters. No deniate decision was arrived at and the President has taken the matter under advisement. One Dutch and one American steamer arrived from the Leeward today. August 4 His Excellency the President had the five persons recently arrested and brought from Grand Bassin, who are said to be concerned in the looting and burning of stores and the killing of a Fantee man before himself and the Cabinet for interrogations. It is learned that Logan, the Ring Leader, firmly declared that Senator Page of Grand Bassin, who is now under arrest, is not a member of the "Burn Kill, and Rob Club." J. J. & A. H. Butler Junior-Limited, filed on today application in the Equity Division of the Circuit Court, for Liquidation. It was learned today that Senator Page, of Grand Bass, who has been under arrest for being implicated in the "Bass Burn, Kill and Rob Club" but that his arrest is concerned in the shewing in of Mrs. Payne's House five years ago by a member of the "Kill, Burn and Rob Club." British steamer arrived from Leeward. No cargo offering as at present coming to the low freight rates of the German lines. All cargo is being shipped by German Steelers. August 5 British Steamer from Leeward. The political atmosphere as calm and there is nothing alarming in this direction. Everything points toward the American Loan Agreement as conditioned upon the re-election of President King in 1923. When Black Meets White. When Black Meets White. AMERICA'S NEED OF THE NEGRO. That the Negro by nature is physically and menially fitted to do profitable work, that by virtue of these facts he has already made vast contributions to the wealth of his nation, and that he is all the more fitted to so contribute, in the future is at once a very great honor to his name and race, rendering him an asset and practically necessary to the future life and prosperity of his country. Lower Winter Fares to Many Winter Places! Among them~ San Antonio - Houston - Galveston in a Winterland of Romantic Atmosphere and Delightful Climate THE Sunshine Special TO TEXAS MISSOURI PACIFIC Ask the Agent America, sacredly, cherishing her fondest traditions and loftiest ideals The general average of his loyalty to the Stars and Stripes will measure higher even than that of the white citizens of the land. From the Negro Year Book, 1918-19, page 44-45 is taken the following: "According to the best sources of information, it appears that just before, and at the beginning of the entry of the United States, into the World War, German Propagandists made a special effort to cause the Negroes in the South to be disloyal. These Propagandists were, evidently unaware of the Negro's traditional loyalty and the fact that no instances could be cited where he had betrayed a trust. It developed that the Negroes were the one group, in the Nation which was one hundred per cent American, and among them there were no hyphans. An excellent statement of the loyalty of the Negroes was made by Roscoe Conklin Simmons, a nephew of the late Booker T. Washington. In an address at Louisville, Ky., in March, 1917. Mr. Simmons, among other things, said, "We have a record to defend, but no treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While in chaining we fought to free white men—from Lexington to Carrizal—and returned again to our chains: No Negro has ever insulted the flag. (For marginal note—The shocking incident in Chicago when certain (probably insane) Negroes fostering an anti-American movement, burned a flag and killed two white Americans, for which they paid the penalty of death, occurred since the date of this speech of Mr. Simmons. This occurrence does not effect the spirit and real truthfulness of his eloquent words.) No Negro ever, struck down a President of these United States. No Negro ever sold a military map or a secret to a foreign Government. No Negro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to serve, to fight, to bleed, and to die in the Republic's cause. Accuse us of what you will—justly or wrongly—no man can point to a single instance of our disloyalty. "We have but one country and one flag, the flag that set us free. Its language is our tongue, and no hyphen bridges or qualifies our loyalty. Today the nation faces danger from a foreign foe, treason stalks and skulks up and down our land. In dark councils, intrigue is being hatched—Woodrow Wilson is my leader. —What he commands me to do. I shall do. Where he commands me to go. I shall go. If he calls me to the colors, I shall not ask whether my colonel is white or black. I shall be there to pick out no color except the white of the enemy's eye. Grievances I have against this people, against this Government. Injustice against me there is, had laws there are upon the statue books, but in the hour of peril I forget—and you must forget —all thoughts of self or race or crest or politics or color. That is loathing." —In all the fervent speech called forth by the war, there was no firmer specimen of true oratory than the above-true oratory because it expressed solemn truth. Say not that the nation does not need loyalty as that! Say not that in building the future solidarity of the American Government the Negro will not be one of the foundation stones. In speech he is an asset, and in war he is a bulwark—in both instances of tremendous consideration. HAVE YOU READ Only One of its Kind. On the Market Only One of its Kind.
