FIGHT IN MEXICO STARTED ON THE KU KLUX KLAN The International Community League Calls Upon Every Negro, Indian And Latin American To Help Destroy The Cancer That Threatens The Very Life Of Organized Society. An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XI NO. 27 FIGHT IN STARTER KU KLU The International Community Negro, Indian And Lat The Cancer That Threat ed Society. LOS ANGELES, Cal. Oct. 17, (Special)—In an interview given in Los Angeles, Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, General Counsel for the International Community Welfare League had the following to say of the Kn Klux Klan: The International Community Welfare League is vigorously opposed to the Ku-Klux-Klan. This Klan is a mechase not only to human life and national security, but it is a cancer growth in the International tissue and must be eliminated immediately and entirely. There must be no half-way measures. A man's right to live and enjoy the best, and to successfully aspire to the highest in human life and material affairs should never be conditioned upon his race, his color, or his creed. The doctrine of "white supremacy," while it is the "great unwritten law of the United States" is pure huncombe. Others natlips than the United States have managed to exist without this infernal doctrine. In Mexico, for example, save on the American border where American corruption has taken place, the people are utterly unable to comprehend the American race prejudice which is the great foundation stone of the Ku-Klux-Klan. That human beings should have their spirits, or their flesh crushed from day to dayand from year to year, and from generation to generation, because of race, color or creed is a crime against the laws of God so heinous in its nature, that the nation which permits or encourages it, and fails to use every means within its power, both educationally and governmentally to stamp it out is not PYTHIANS LAY CORNER STONE AT KIRKWOOD, MO. Three hundred and fifty Pythians or more assembled at Wellington last Sunday to go to Kinloch Park for the purpose of laying the Cornerstone of the First Methodist Eniscopal Church on Scudder and Jefferson Avenues. The occasion was well attended by the lodges from St. Louis St. Charles, Anglum, Clayton, Creve Cone, Webster and Kirkwood. Mound City Co., under Captain Geo. Henderson of the uniform rank and General, A. S. Morgan, Col. Allie Smith escorted the Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd and Grand Officers and the Lodges to the Church. Grand Lodge Others present were: Prof. C. H. Brown, Dr. T. A. and W. P. Curtis, Wm. Johnson, W. T. Ancello, C. K. Robinson, W. H. Goff, Prof. A. W. Scott and many others. Master of Ceremonies, Rev. Levy Woolrich. District Superintendent of St. Louis praised the Pythians in their spirit of Charity and loyalty in responding to every call of humanity and said with this spirit imbued in the leaders of this organization, there is no fault to the achievements of this great Order of the Knights of Pythians. Rev. Hancock, pastor of the First M. E. Church is a noble character and under his leadership, the Church is growing rapidly. When the Church is completed with a swimming pool, Gymnasium, two public bathrooms, Church parlor, reception Hall, Club room, Teenus court, it will be the finest church in the Country, which the citizens of Kinloch will be proud to boast of. There were about twelve hundred visitors and friends present, and the collection was $350,000, the largest ever taken up in the County. An interesting feature of the ceremonies was a boy's band, led by Rev. Hancock which furnished music for the occasion. CENTRAL SCHOOL PATRONS ASSOCIATION MEETING The Centrut Scholo Patrons Association held a meeting last Tuesday afternoon at the residence of Dr. George E. Stevens, the President. A report of the Executive Committee showed that efforts had been made to ascertain whether the new School site at Cardinal and Laclede was to be used for a Junior or Senior High School. No satisfactory answer from the School Board had been received. A lively discussion was precipitated when it was said that the additional rooms to Summer High would be made in lieu of the High School east of Grand for which the Association had worked so hard. Dr. Stevens in his opening remarks said that while we have been disappointed by the actions of the School Board, "pet" he held, "our fight has just begun." Plans were discussed; for holding mass meetings in the different churches so that the matter can be laid before the people. There has been a shimp in the radio The St. Louis Argus worthy of the respect and comity of democratic peoples. "The International - Community Welfare League has a program of fight against the genius of the Ku Klux Klan which is unbeatable. We invite into our membership every Negro, every Latin, American, every Indian, and every other race or group of individuals who by their conduct evince their belief in the doctrine of equality of opportunity for all men. The League's policy is to kill off the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan in the community where it exists. Failing to do this to any measurable extent the further policy of the League is to lead the broken-spirited victims of "white supremacy" to a more favorable community where the National and International battle against racial intolerance may be waged more successfully, and the victims themselves may see and enjoy a little more of the good things of this world before they die. "The methods of our fight against the Ku Klux Klan and its deep-rooted spirit are not the methods of physical violence; they are methods of reason, of public appeal, of first hand distribution of facts, of non-cooperation with the oppressors, and active cooperation with those groups, peoples and entities which by their conduct, and not merely by lip service, proclaim their belief in the doctrine of equality of opportunity for all men, regardless of race, color or religion. "Every man and woman really believes in this doctrine should immediately become an active member of the International Community Welfare League." TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL Much interest is being manifested on the part of the public in the approaching campaign for the Peoples' Hospital; $10,000 is the amount see for the campaign. Ten captains have already been selected, each of whose team will be expected to raise $1,000. Mrs. T. J. Nevins, who has conducted several successful projects for the hospital, will be in charge of the campaign, which will open on Sunday November 5th and extend to November 15th. This day has been designated as hospital day and visiting day. The people of the city are asked to visit the Peoples' Hospital, corner of Pine and Theresa, and see the work that is being done as well as the needs of the institution. A meeting of the captains is called for this Friday night, October 20th, at which time the plan and scope of the campaign will be made known to the team captains. No difficulty is anticipated in securing this small amount so, worthy is the institution and so, well is it serving the community. A list of the captains and their team workers, and other details of the campaign will be published in the next issue of the Argus. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE LOCAL BRANCH N. A. A.

It is safe to say that a large quilt will be on hand, as the Missouri Club has Published In The Interest Of Colored People ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1922 "EASTERN GATE WAS A SUCCESS Artistic Ability Shown By Participants, St. Louisans Enjoy Three Nights Instead/Of Two. Management Praised For Effort "The Eastern Gate," which was presented at the Odeon Theater last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, evenings by the Urban League as its second annual show, was, as advertised, "the greatest effort in dramatic art ever attempted by Negroes in this country." The large audiences on Thursday and Friday evenings were highly pleased. Mrs. Daniel W. Bowles, the star of the cast, who portrayed the character of Phyllis, essayed a difficult part with such facility that she captivated the audience when she first appeared on the stage. Mr. Ernest Hutchinson as GWang could not have been excelled. Mr. R. A. Pinn as Jim Burbank, the American, was very good. Mr. John M. Langston as the austere Chan played well his part. Mrs. Perle Alexander Phillips and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, Jr., also the maids and coolies were also very good. The part played by Mr. W. H. Huffman was evidently written for him, so well did he portray the character of the great HI Am Sum. An unusually difficult part was that acted by Miss Doris James, but she did it with facility and satisfaction. The dainty little sing-song girl, Mrs. Myrtle Adams, and the quiet mellow singing of Miss Emma J. Keene elicited warm applause. The superb singing of the wedding guests by Mrs. Zella Cole Evans was undoubtedly as rich as ever, has been heard in St. Louis. The dream song was especially written for her and the wedding guests by Mr. J. Gerald Tyler, who conducted the orchestra and was in general charge of the music. the sixteen Chinese kiddies under the direction of Miss Anita Williams proved delightfully entertaining and were warmly greeted. The Manchu shop, conducted by Mr. Curtis and Mr. W. A. Giles, was rich in oriental splendor. Mr. Harry R. McClain, the stage director, personally conducted each rehearsal and personally supervised the painting of the beautiful Chinese scenery used in the second and third sets. The costumes worn by the entire cast were beautiful and artistic, and the make-up of each member of the casts which was done by two professional men in this line, was above criticism. The show on the whole was a brilliant success in every way. St. Louis is to be congratulated on this great success and the splendid talent it possesses. In passing, it may be said that the management who was responsible for the venture, has rendered a most valuable service to the community. The opportunity for St. Louisans to show their talent in such a creditable light can't be appreciated by the public. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT The Urban League wishes, to express its sincere appreciation to the public for the large audiences which were present on last Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings' performances of "The Eastern Gate." We cheerfully acknowledge our indebtedness to each member of the cast who so lafully made many sacrifices to make the play the most unique success of its kind ever attempted in this country. We also wish to thank the W. Y. C. A., which donated the use of its gymnasium for the rehearsals, the members of the ticket committee, pastors of the several churches, the ticket sellers, the theaters for displaying the slides, the St. Louis Argus, members of the costume and property committees and the members of the advertising and prize committees. We are greatly pleased to announce that much credit for the success of "The Eastern Gate" was due to Mr. Harry R. McClain, stage director, and Mr. J. Gerald Tyler, who composed several of the selections and directed the entire musical part of the program. We trust the third annual show will meet with as large response and satisfaction as that of "The Eastern Gate." The associate director of the Community Council, in commenting on the play, writes as follows: "I think you should be congratulated on the splendid success of "The Eastern Gate." Your actors were excellent, the play was most interesting, and the manner in which it was produced most unusual. Another thing, which was most interesting to me was the dignity and courtesy of the audience. It goes without mentioning that good or bad things should be received with courtesy; but I have been in so many behaved groups that last night's listeners were a joy to behold." Yours very truly, Ilanch Renard, associate director. Fourth White Man Acquitted Of Murder Charge In Ga. Preston News Service. AMERICAN. Ga. Oct. 18. George Phillips (white), charged with the murder in connection with the death of Williams Jones, was acquitted early last Tuesday by a jury in the Schley County Court in session here. Phillips/trial began Monday morning. The evidence produced, it is claimed, failed to show or add anything to the disclosures already made in connection with this famous case.

M. Sunday, October 22nd "Old Mother Church" will have a Corner Stone laying at 2 p. m. This promises to be a unique affair, owing to the interesting history of the Church. Those familiar with the history of the First Baptist Church say it is quite appropriate and fitting that this celebration to take place at this time because this is the first time that the Church can boast of no mortgage. The First Baptist started in a blacksmith shop at second and Valentine Street in 1795. Thirty-two years later the Church was organized. During its existence it has had an interesting history. The present site and edifice was purchased about four years ago, and under the leadership of the present pastor, Dr. O. C. Maxwell, the new thing was accomplished and the mortgage was burned July 29, last. The corner stone laying will be in connection with the "re newing of the Church". The stone is to be laid in due form by Past Grand Master Crittenden E. Clark assisted by Oward Lodge No. 17, and other fraternal organizations.

If the city—the establishment of a large secret chamber in a mammoth Missouri cave. The chamber, mystorious, weird, and replace with "stalactites and stalagmites, will be used for ceremonial purposes by the ghostly looking weavers of the white hood and gown. The cave—Percy's Cave, it is called—is on a 118-acre tract five miles northwest of here. It has been purchased by the Springfield klan at an estimated cost of $40,000. A rumor has gained currency that the Negroes in this part of the State are laying plans to dynamite the cave here.

A Square Deal For Every Man PAGES PRICE 5 CENTS RED VOTERS HOSE BETWEEN LILYWHITEISM Peddy. The Independent Candidate For Senator, Has Support Of Republicans Known As "Lily Whites" MAYFIELD IS RECOGNIZED CANDIDATE OF THE KLAN Fort Worth Colored, led By "Bill" McDonald, Have Indorsed Mayfield Rather Than Accept Total Elimination From Politics. Associated Negro Press DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 18—Special Correspondence to A. N. P. Earl B. Mayfield, the Ku Klux Klan candidate for United States Senator, will get, it is being declared in all sections of, the State, a large Negro vote. "Bill" McDonald of Fort Worth, has come out with the declaration that he proposes to cast his vote for Mayfield. McDonald's word goes a long way with Texas colored people. The "Lily Whites" have driven McDonald to this action, his friends declare. George E. B. Peddy of Houston, an independent Democrat, is being supported by the Republicans known here as "Lily Whites" for United States Senator, John T. Adams, Chairman of the Republican National Committee has given his indorsement. It is reported, to Peddy's candidacy, McDonald and his followers were for an out and out Republican for the Senator nomination and not a black candidate either. Supporting Peddy won't help the situation for the colored vote, they say. Pretty bitter political stuff, this supporting a Ku Klux Klan, they further aver, but, at least, it helps to keep hold of their identity as a part of the Republican Party in the State. Better a Ku Klux Klan, then, elimination is the cry of the colored voters' hour. "Goose-neck Bill," as he is familiar and somewhat affectionately called by the colored people throughout the State, recently held a meeting in Fort Worth where he lives, which organized an independent movement that finally indorsed Mayfield. As this was done in the open it is reasonable deduction that the colored vote is on the verge of deserting the Republican ship in the State of Texas. What the State thinks about Negroes and the klim sleeping in the same political bed, no one at this writing knows. And there you are with a big, package to deliver.

HUSTLING NEGRO AGENTS You Will Be Surprised At The Results Of A Small Investment, Sharing Or Paying Whole? This Is For You To Decide. 2363 MARKET STREET You will have to be intelligent enough to read between lines to understand and grasp the velled information that is only meant for wide-awake and "up to now" Race men and women of "Class," with not less than $500 in cold cash to put down in a proposition, which will be put over in the next ten days. NOW WE DID NOT SAY ELEVEN DAYS, remember, we said TEN DAYS, also consider who is talking. THE ABERNATHY REALTY COMPANY, THE HUSTLING NEGRO AGENTS OF ST. LOUIS, with a well-known reputation for doing things. 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 desired and needed, and which our firm, has been frequently requested to secure, SO WE HAVE GOT 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 for those who enought to pay for TEN DAYS WHILE DO YOU PREFER? It seems that wisdom would suggest the former, however, there will be enough of the latter class to prevent you from being lonesome. If you miss the first call, watch this paper for the second, when those who have taken advantage of the first have fixed the price and have decided what they consider a fair price for YOU to pay THEM for well I do not know what to call it unless it is just being slow. We are willing and glad to make appointments by telephone. Bontonoff will but positively will not give details. Please do not ask and disarrase us by having in touch. Just remember that we have something good for your special group in which your confidential and private interview with us in the next TEN DAYS only.

After 1 p.m. Call Occupied Owner at SUNNING CLEAN, NO. 1, AIR A continuous stream of comedy, mixed with good music and dancing, is the offering of Boykin and Williamson's "Delegates from Dixie" Company at The Booker Washington Theatre this week. The show starts, with the usual chorus opening, Arthur Boykin has a parody "They Were Marching" and then "The Woman Hater's Union," a ripening comedy is presented by Boykin Harris in Margaret Lester and Naomi Talilson, Millian Carroll sings "Aching Hearted Blues," supported by the Company, and Pearl Madison renders "Nobody Lied." **Boykin and Anna Williamson,** as a team are a source of much fun and melody with plenty of dancing. Their song numbers are "Just Like a Rainbow in the Sky," "In Dear Old Tennessee," and Royal Garden Blues," presented in an instrumental imitation. Robert Perry does a good job with the music of Fisk, Leister, Jim and dances "The Sheik of Araby." The closing piece is an army burlesque, entitled "The Last Shot," and keeps the audience screaming with laughter. "Everybody's Blues" is the finale. VAUDEVILLE NEXT WEEK Four all-star acts of vaudeville will be shown at The Booker Washington Theatre next week. These will consist of the Jack Wiggins Trio, featuring "Ginger Jack" the champion ping distance winner "Dance," the comedian Jason and Elliot, a comedy team; and Happy Ferguson, a humorous monologist. Monday will be "Pay Day" for the patrons. GONZELL WHITE'S JAZZERS AT THE GAYETY NEXT WEEK Miss Gonzell White, St. Louis' favorite singing and dancing soubrette, will come to The Gayetty Theatre for one week beginning Sunday with her Jazzes, consisting of 10 all, Star Colored performers. Another favorite here, Ed Langford, will be performing. The theater is a part of the big show of "Jimmie Cooper and "His Beauty Revue." There are 44 people including a big chorus. Mattea ales at 2:36 and night shows; 8:15 daily. Thomas Meighan will be seen at The Comet Theatre this Saturday in "If You Believe It, It's So." The story of a young city crook who finds peace and happiness in the country is delightfully told by a cast of players which includes, in addition to the star, Theodore Roberts, Pauline Stark, Joseph J. Dowling and Charles Ogle. Jack Holt will be presented in, "White Satan Steeps," on Sunday. Holt has the role of a crook who goes to Panamint disguised as a minister to clean it up. He is the wayward son of a bishop and it is this goodness inherent in him which ultimately wins the battle that he has been forced to face. He is assisted by the love of a beautiful girl, Hope Hampton in "Star灾" will be the feature on Tuesday. Norma Talmadge will be featured in, "Smiling Through," next Thursday and Friday. The promotion deals with the romance of a beautiful young Kathleen, who is left in the charge of John Carteret following the death of her Aunt Monyeen. Monyeen was fatally wounded by a jealous son of Carteret, who is the bride to Carteret. When Carteret Kathleen is in love with the son of the man who killed his bride he interrupts the romance of the young people and the absorbing plot gathers dramatic momentum. AT THE STAR Grace Darmond in "Handle With 'Care' will be the Star Theatre feature this Saturday at a satirical new angle on the marriage tangle. Dick Hatton in "The Golden Flame" will be the Sunday special attraction. His role is that of a youth of the West today, wherein he supplanted the ranch house and the infenced lands of an earlier generation. Hatton proves himself worthy of his stellar position on the screen by the ease, sincerity and convincingness of his portrayal of the hero who wins out to fame, fortune and love despite many difficult ties. Lillian Gish and Wallace Reid in "The Fatty Marriage," also Will Rogers in "Double for Romeo," will be double features on Tuesday. The first episode of Charles Hutchison in "Speed," will be shown on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, Harry Carey will be presented in "Man Tu Man." It recounts the struggles of a man away from the degradation of a South sea derelict back to respectability in his home country—the cattle lands of the West. It is a story which might have been written for Carey. It provided him with the he-man of a role which he has made famous on the screen. THE JEST-A-MERE Opethy Phillips will be presed in "Hurricane's Gal" at The Jest-amen, Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It is a big sea story in which Phillips has the role of a wild unattended girl of the sea who inherited from her Irish father, a smuggler, a spirit of hate and laziness, the romantic blood of the Spanish. The picture is a real "thriller" containing much intensely dramatic section that is aided by a hydroplane, a destroyer and a big schooner. The feature on Wednesday and Thursday will be "One Clear Call." The locals is a small southern town where the routine of arrival of a shipwreck is a strange amount of inveterate When she broke the news of a divorce to her husband, he suddenly realized that he had been neglected — How could he 'win her back?' — Would he try to regain her love than it had been to win it in the first place? How should he go about it—treat her result, or in Mr. Caveman, or 'Handle With 'care?' The soul-stirring drama of a fallen man's battle for love and happiness. Theodore Roberts, Pauline Starke and Joseph J. Dowling head the great supporting cast.

Guy Bates Post in "The Masquerade" will be featured on Sunday and Friday. The story depicts the struggle of two men, so close in resemblance that the wife of one cannot tell them apart. And the bachelor, who recognizes in her the one woman in the world he could love, finds himself at bay because of the sense of honor that he cannot suffice. Trained by long experience, the star gives an intimate study of the characteristics of the two men; one a leader gone astray, and the other an impeccable genius in impoverished circumstances. THE CASINO "The Fighting Ranger" will be featured at The Casino Theatre this Saturday. "Ranger Bill" Millez is the star. The story deals with an encrustulous gambler who tries to win the beautiful daughter of the village drunkard. As she spurs his love he attempts to force her to accept him by getting her father deeply-indebted to him. "Ranger Bill," from the west, has dropped into the town and has taken a job as watchman in the gold mine. Through helping the girl's father he wins her undying friendship. The gambler leading a gang of desperadoes to rob the mine. This they do and kidnap the girl. Through the gambler's cunning, "Ranger Bill" is accused of the robbery and lands in jail, where he learns of the girl's peril. He realizes that it would be futile to appeal to the sheriff, so he gets away, rounds up the gang and saves the girl. On.Sunday, Neal Hart will be seen in "West of The Pecos". It is a drilling Western drama. "The Sheik's Wife" will be presented on Tuesday. It tells of the misadventures and misfortunes of Estelle Graydon, a romance-loving English girl who weds a sheik of the desert. After three years of happy married life, complications arise. It treats with the atmosphere of the desert. The traditions and the customs of the Arabians have been faithfully and naturally reproduced. AT THE LINCOLN The Llacolin Theatre will present William S. Hart in "White Oak" this Safarday. It is an excellent photoplay. It is as full of action as any Mr. Hart has given us in two years. As Oak Miller, a gambitil man, he is at his best. The situations are thrilling and many of them are ornamental and novel. "Reported Missing" will be the Sunday feature, Owen Mopre is the star. It is hilarious, irrepressible, melodrama yet it causes the spectator to grip the arms of his seat on account of its complication. On Thursday, Betty Compson and Tom Moore will be seen in "Over The Border," in the first place it refers to the smuggling of liquor over the border from Canada into the United States; secondly, it tells of the efforts of a murderer to cross the same border after passing through a cordon of police; and: thirdly, it tells of the passing of two great loves over the border of misunderstanding into the happiness beyond: THE PENDLETON Agnes Ayres will be seen at The Pendleton Theatre this Saturday in "Borderland". It tells of a discontented wife warned against a mistake by the spirit of an 1850 ancestor who had suffered from a similar error. Children, fires, "ship stuff" and a clever-trained dog, add human interest and "punch" to an entertaining story. "Nice People" will be presented on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The story has to do with a modern girl who resents the sudden assertion of parental authority. In a fit of pique she finds herself accidentally in a seemingly compromising situation. The other man does not always understand but he is always loyal. With his aid and the assistance of a sympathetic aunt, the girl does a right about face that brings happiness in the end, but only after some trying experiences for the young woman. "Blood and Sand" will be shown three days, beginning. Wednesday. Rudolph Valentino is the star. It is a story of Spain and the life of a bull-fighter, giving all the nerve and romance of such an existence without presenting those features of a bull-fight not enjoyed by American audiences. The Shrine Glee Club of Medinah Temple, No. 39, St. Louis, was represented by a quartet of that organization, which appeared on a program under anspies of the Men's Guild of Maple Avenue Methodist Church, white, Belt and Maple avenues, Tuesday evening of this week. A huge audience composed of members of the Guild greeted the Shrine Quartet with vociferous applause when they took their places upon the platform. They opened the program with a group of eight songs, which under the masterful direction of Conductor Antonio L. Haskelk were rendered in such manner as to immediately stare them as artists in the singing of folk-jore music. Throughout all the numbers given by the quartet, the tone shading, ranging from the softest notes to notes of the fullest power, was given with the greatest ease. Mr. Haskellk sang a group of solos: "Palm Moon," "Deep River," "Since You Wet Away" and "Ive Done My Work." Haskellk was presented by an official of the Maple Avenue Methodist Church with an illuminated address, by which expression was made of Haskellk's work as a singer and conductor, and the good wishes for his success, in the future development of the Shrine Glee Club. The Shrine Quartet was composed of George H. Walker, first tenor; G. W. Draper, second tenor; Cilford Jones, baritone, and James Davis, basso.

B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St. Chicago, Ill. THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE CITIZENS Suenicion was expressed at a recent meeting of the Central School Patrons' Association, that the School Board has no intention of locating a Senior High School East of Grand for the colored children. It was pointed out that notwithstanding the fact that the Association has furnished the School Board with facts, data and other proofs showing that the contention for the High School East of Grand was purely an economical one, yet the School Board has not given the matter enough attention to cause that body to give a respectful reply. The Committee did not receive one answer with reference to the school question which was as evasive as Senator Reed's answer on the prohibition subject. It is hardly believable that a group of citizens representing 95 per cent of their group could go before our Board of Education with a meritorious, righteous and just cause, and receive no reply. The Central Patrons School Association as will be remembered, presented to the Board in a business like way, facts and figures in support of their claims, in phamplet from of sixteen pages or more. The Association also went before the School Board and presented oral arguments, in support of their program. But the School Board has made no reply. Granting that the statements contained in the phamplet were true, we don't see why the Board has failed to act. If by investigation the Board has found any part of the program impracticable or too expensive at this time, let it tell the Association so and point out where the weak points are in the program. If there is any opposition from any source let the Board say so. The Patrons Association is playing an open game honest and sincere. Let the School Board do the same. The people who are interested in this school question want to know whether it is the intention of the School Board to build a Junior High School East of Grand or not. This is quite natural and surely this information should not be withheld from them. GOVERNOR LOWDEN'S COMMISSION REPORT The one advantage that the report of the Commission on Race Relations appointed by Governor Lowden of Illinois some three years ago, is that it will have a hearing before the bar of public opinion. So far as we have been able to see, there was nothing new discovered by the Commission. But conditions as they actually exist are recorded and made a part of the report which will be officially sent throughout the country. As it should be, the report mentions the injustices and discriminations which are practiced against the Negroes not only during and following racial clashes, but points out that the practice is generally in the courts. by police officers, deputy sheriffs, militia and other petty officers at all times. The added strength in the report lies in the fact that the Commission was composed of twelve members, six of whom were white and six were colored. The worked sympathetically together and by so doing, they found that after all, there is a kind of sympathetic relation between mankind. The better we know each other the less friction there is between us. Each member has expressed himself as having been greatly benefitted by the contact. Therefore their testimonies should have a deal of weight upon the minds of the public, and their recommendation given more than passing notice. THE APPROACHING ELECTION.

WHY NOT NEGRO OFFICER IN THE MISSOURI PENN? Associated Negro Press ST. LOUIS, Mo. Oct. 18—A report on file in the office of the Secretary of the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission says: "At the Missouri Penitentiary are 16 officers drawing $24. 00 annually, not one of whom is a Negro, yet approximately 52 per cent of the inmates of the institution are Negroes. 28 employees draw $30,280 per annum; all are 'white men. 91 inmates receive $125,580 per annum, but not a Negro site on that wall or around those men siding that Negro criminals are receiving a "square deal" in all that the term implicate and SHOULD ELECT ALL COLORED CANDIDATES Five Race Men On Republican Ticket Will Win If Colored Voters Do Their Duty. Unparalled Political Situation. Nowhere, at any time, in any city, by any party, has there been at any one time in the history of politics so many Colored men nominated for office and the nominations are not mere empty honors, as every one of them will be elected if the colored voters do their duty. The general election is much different from the primary election. There might have been some chance to keep the Colored men off the ticket at that time, as many candidates were pitted against one another for the nomination, BUT NOW they are NOT running against one another and all are to be and will be elected. In the primary it was necessary to scratch—no scratching is to be done in the general election. TEST VOTE YOUR TICKET STRAIGHT and you will elect Walthall L. Moore, representative of the Fourth District; Ira Dorsey, constable of the Fifth District; Crittenden E. Clark, Justice of the Peace, Fourth District; along with James L. Schuler (white), same district. Langston Harrison and Chas. H. Turpin, Constable and Justice of the Peace, Fourth District, are candidates for election as justices. There are two justices and two constables to be elected in the Fourth District and you vote for all of them when you vote the Republican ticket STRAIGHT. Understand, THEY ARE ALL RUNNING TOGETHER NOW. The above state of affairs is epocaly in the race's political history. It is the beginning of a new era in our progress. Just a few short years ago it was said to be impossible to elect any Colored man to office; now it seems a certainty that all five will be elected. We as a race owe it to ourselves and to the men nominated to make any sacrifice that may be necessary to vote on Tuesday, November 7th. We also owe it more to posterity. If we can elect five men to smaller office what can we do in ten years from now? Let every man and woman do their race duty on Tuesday. November 7th. VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET STRAIGHT and elect all our Colored candidates.

NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 18.—After having lived with her husband for thirty years, Ida May McGrath was granted in the Court of Hustings an injunction restraining her husband, Thomas Francis McGrath, from molesting her, or doing her bodily injury. In her complaint, Mrs. McGrath stated that her husband has cruelly mistreated her from the first year of their marriage, but that she suffered in silence for the sake of the children. She claims that he threatened more than once to kill her. She is using him now for divorce. McGrath is the white man who gained considerable notoriety several years since by advocating the discontinuance of the marriage vows for Negroes, declaring that they were too low in the social scale to appreciate the sacredness of the marriage relation.

Opposed To Any Organization Which Fosters Race And Religious Hatred. Would Invoke Congressional Actions To Suppress Activities Which Cause Discord, Strife, Mob Violence And Lawlessness PART TWO The activities of the Ku Klux Klan have been so pronounced in Missouri in the last week as to become alarming, to say the least. In St. Louis the first open meeting of the organizers of the Klan was held in North St. Louis with an attendance of 500, the meeting being held in a church, and the minister of the church praising the motive of the organization in introducing the speaker, who thanked God that the Ku Klux Klan was a white man's organization and assaulted the negro, as well as the Catholic and Jew. In Kansas City an opening meeting was held at the Convention Hall, which was crowded, 15,000 people being inside the hall, while five thousand more, who were unable to enter, gathiated. The Klan's meeting, city meeting, resolutions were adopted condemning leading Democratic candidates for office who had assassinated the Klan and it was also suggested that members of the Klan and their friends should not patronize those opposed. Congressman Harry B. Hawas, Democrat, now representing the 11th Congressional District, who is a candidate for reelection, and Senator James A. Reed, were the targets of the Klan at the Kansas City meeting. They were aroused at the open opposition of Mr. Hawes and Mr. Reed and advocated their defeat. Mr. Hawes has been especially active in fighting this organization, for which he deserves the support of all fair-minded men and won in regard to the color. During the week he delivered a denunciation of the Klan and its methods. This organization is becoming such as to warrant the belief that in due time it will be necessary to take Congressional action to curb its activities, and the citizens of Missouri should exercise great care in casting their votes so that they will support men, regardless of politics, who have the courage to combat this nation-wide move. Mr. Hawes' powerful address on the subject follows: Mr. Hawes quoted the following extract from the Democratic platform adopted at the recent convention at Excelsior Springs: "We denounce all efforts, whether by groups, societies or individuals, to proscribe any part of our people on account of race or religion." His speech, which he delivered last night, before the Eleventh District Democratic Campaign Committee at their headquarters, 1882 North Grand boulevard, follows: "The Democratic women who will direct the campaign in each ward of our city have a great responsibility, and much will depend upon their understanding, enthusiasm and activity." Very frankly, I voted in Congress for whom I believed as an officer of the nation of city and state, and have not opposed measures solely because they originated with the Republican national administration. "The great dividing issues are the tariff and the centralization of all power in Washington. "In the limited time at my disposal this afternoon I take the liberty of organizing intolerance, reserving for future discussion the tariff and national government by bureaus." Secret Meetings. "I have before me an application for membership in the Ku Klux Klan. This, taken in connection with its activities, demonstrates the fact that it is a secret organization formed for the purpose of regulating the conduct of our citizens, and of politically-prescribing the Catholic and the Jew, and specifically-marks for its especial hostility the negro citizen, and those of recent naturalization. "Holding, its meetings in secret, masquerading in the habiliments of a Halloween party, it seeks to inspire terror by appearing in mask. "It has the supreme impudence to attempt to regulate, control and direct the conduct, not of its own members, but of those citizens who are not members." A secret organization, formed for charitable, fraternal or benevolent purposes, may, with safety to itself and without protest from the public, retain its secrets and the public will not become interested in its membership or its personnel. "A secret organization which does not confine its operations to its own members, but which, upon the contrary, attempts to dieface the conduct, control the movements and punish citizens who are not members, will find it impossible to retain its secrecy. Instead of parking men and women, proper public resentment will undoubt. My mark the men who organize for this purpose. Above the Law. "An organization which seeks to go outside of the religious influence of our churches, placing itself above the accredited officers of the law and mourns the functions of both our established moral and legal agencies, cannot escape an inquiring public to whom will become known its membership and the names of its leaders. "The public seldom interests itself in the private affairs of an individual or in the organization affairs of a society, whose scope of influence is limited to its own members. Directly organized members and members will be none. closure of the supreme egotists who place themselves above the established law and established churches in attempting to regulate the conduct of men and women. "The American people admit the right of any group or society to meet anywhere, on any subject, whether in public or in secret, to conserve or place on their own conduct, but these secret societies must be responsible to regulate or control the lives of men and women who are not members, such conduct becomes a menace to public welfare, respectively is true when the object is the introduction of religious and race prescription. "The United States Constitution states: Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or proscribing the free exercise of religion. "Religious freedom is guaranteed everywhere throughout the United States, so far as Congressional or State interference is concerned. "The Missouri Constitution contains this declaration: "That all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own conscience; that no person can, on account of his religious opinions, be rendered ineligible to any office of trust or profit under this State, or to be disqualified from testifying, or from serving as a juror; that no human person has the rights of conscience; that no person ought, by any law, to be indoised in person or estate, on account of his religious persuasion or profession. . . ." "Another section states: . . ." "... And that no preference shall be given to, nor any discrimination be made against, any church, sect, or creed of religion, or any form of religious faith or worship. . ." "These section of our National and State Constitutions are quite plain, so that any secret society which attempts through threat, intimidation or fear, to do a taming, which the lawful authorities of the State are restrained from doing, becomes a law breaker. . . ." "The American people came to the work of framing their fundamental laws after centuries of religious oppression and persecution sometimes by one party or sect and sometimes by another. This had taught them the utter futility of all attempts to propagate religious opinions by the Rewards, penalties or torments of human laws. Religious intolerance. "Hace que los judíos beaten by this society to religious intolerance. "We find the following language in the Constitution of the United States: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of service. "Attention is specially called to the words 'race' and 'color' contained in the Constitution. "In addition to these express constitutional prohibitions, the criminal laws of all states provide punishment for threats, intimidation and violence. "Physical violence is not the only thing covered by laws. A man may disturb the peace of another by any form of insult, by the spoken word, or by interricing in any way with his lawful pursuit of happiness, and a citizen's particular form of happiness may largely consist in exercising freely his choice of religion, and his happiness may largely consist in exercising freely his choice of religion, and his happiness will certainly be destroyed if he is threatened or abused because of either his race or his color. "Apparently the Klan proposes to do things which officers of the law, selected by the people, are expressly prohibited from doing. "It sets itself up as greater, wider, and more powerful than the government and the laws made by all the people. "It is destructive of the principle of majority rule and proposes to substitute minority rule and substitute its own law for the Divine law grounded by our religious institutions and place its own rule above the rules of law and courts. "It proposes to substitute the methods of the mob for the orderly processes of law. An Invisible Tribunal. "It proposes to substitute for a visible government an invisible tribunal. "It proposes to do, by stealth and mystery, under the cover of darkness, in the habilitations of disguise, acts which the law prohibits and for which the government abstent. "It proposes to substitute for the ballot and the election a secret substitute for free government. "It proposes to deny men the opportunity to appear in person and produce witnesses. "It proposes to abusethe fund base of a secret tribunal for a trial by judge." "It brushes aside the Judges elected by the people and, in secret, selects it sown judges. "It proposes to control the construct of citizens by threats, intimidation and violence. "It proposes to substitute lawlessness for law, and becomes an outlaw, as did the masked men who formerly robbed stage coaches, whom any citizen might destroy. "It attempts to deny the right of death, and wishes freedom of speech, while attempting to up up a life of its The St. Louis Argus affairs and create, business rivalries which will cause boycotts and counter-boycotts. "It proposes to substitute for comity and peace distrust and animosity. "What supreme egotism leads a man to believe that he can in secret overthrow the orderly processes of law and substitute the supposed superior wisdom of himself and his selected associates. "President missionaries, priests and preachers to pagan nations to teach our religion and demand that they shall-be protected. "When these teachers and foreign missionaries are attacked, we ask our warships for their protection and demand indemnities for loss of life or property. "And yet this secret organization will not permit American citizens to exercise the same right in their own land. "They demand religious toleration in Japan, China, India and Africa and would deny it in our own land. "That a mascot may be permitted to act as judge, jury, prosecuting attorney and executor? "Are we to return to the days of the whipping post by a lawless mob, by lawless individuals, when the whipping post has been abandoned by all enlightened states? "Our bill of rights, written into both national and state constitutions, provides for 'The protection of the writ of habeas corpus, which the Klan denies.' "Freedom of religious belief, and worship," which the Klan proposes to abolish. "Freedom of thought and its expression," which the Klan proposes to curtail. "Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, which the Klan does not respect. "The right not to be prosecuted for infamous crimes, except first accused by a grand jury. The Klan proposes to substitute as all of a grand jury's right to all criminal prosecutions to a speedy trial by an impartial jury." The Klan proposes to select its own jury in second to conduct not a public but a concealed trial. "To be confronted with the witnesses against him." No person charged by the Klan is confronted with witnesses. "And have assistance of counsel." All counsel is denied, excepting the counsel for the prosecution is selected by the Klan. "That the citizen shall not be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process or law." All process of law is denied by the Klan. They set up their own law, and the process is one of force, intimidation and tear. "That the citizen shall not be denied the equal protection of the laws." The Klan have no equal laws. Their laws are for themselves and directed against someone else. There is an absolute abandonment of equality, process and justice. "Our government destroyed the rights of the King, and the Missouri Constitution declares that, 'All political power is vested in and derived from the people; that all government of right originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole.'" *Attimilation and Threats.* "It is unaccept to quote criminal statutes which relate to intimidation, violence and threats. They are too numerous and too well understood to require annotation.* "Public discussion of all political questions is necessary. Public discussion of any question before the klan is impossible. "If a secret society is permitted to proscribe one religious sect today, it may proscribe another and unrest sect tomorrow. "If its right to proscribe, one sect is not challenged, another sect organization may be forged to challenge your religion. "This leads directly to discord, strife, mob violence and inwfulness. "Why should any man, or set of men, pretending to improve government or accomplish some worthy intive, attempt to do so in secret? Why should a good cause require a masquerade or a mask? "With an apostum approaching insanity, with arrogance unsurpassed, reverting to the practices of the middle century, openly violating, Constitution of the United States, and flushing dence in the face of statutes to preserve the peace, they have the impulse to arrogate to themselves the term '100 per cent American.'" "It just so maps that all of my ancestors were Protestants, and on all sides came to the United States long before the American revolution; five great-great grandfathers served in the Army of the revolution, so did three of my wife's great-great grandfathers, and both families have been represented in every war in which the United States has been engaged. "And yet this does not make me, or anyone similarly classified, a '100 per cent American'. "There is only one kind of a 100 per cent American, and that is the man or institution, who stands our free institutions, who respects an orderly government and seeks to change it only by the orderly processes provided by law. "It is the man and woman who respect the rights, beliefs and privileges of his neighbor. "It is the man or woman who, understanding our heredity, realizes that the form of our government is but the culmination of the hope of liberty-loving people for thousands of years. "No 100 per cent American pigs hate ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCT. 20, 1922 neighbor. "No 100 per cent American will proscribe another man because of his religious belief or his race. "My protest is not made in the especial interest of the Catholic, or the Jew, or for certain races or colors of our citizens, but is directed against a movement which is dangerous to the Protestant, the white citizen and all classes of our people. "It is a protest against the self-selected government of a secret cabal which is opposed to the orderly government, of the majority under rules of law made by all the people. "We have public schools, parochial schools and private schools for instructing our children. A citizen has educational direction from the masses man who would undo the established order. "We have a variety of churches and creeds, all built and supported by the loving hearts of devotional men and women, created to teach right living, morality and reverence for God. We do not require religious instruction from masked men whose character and capacity are concealed by disguise. "We have our legislatures to make laws covering vice, immorality and crime, and those officers to arrest and Judges to punish those who violate their laws. We do not require a secret legislature to make laws, a masked policeman to enforce them, or a nameless Judge to pass sentence. Our hundred per cent American does not wear other mask or disguise. It seeks the sunlight, not the darkness. It shines bright in the noonday sun that all men and women may see. It is not afraid. It shows its weakness that it may be corrected, and restraints its strength that it may not injure. "We do not require hooded censors to restrain, or cannoped goblins to frighten us into proper conduct." "Many worthy men may be per- shaded to join the ranks of these midnight propagandists. Let us hope that, before doing so, they will read the tibble where meekness, charity and love of fellowman is taught, and then spend some hours in reading the history of their country and keep ever before them the Declaration of in-dependence and the Constitution writen by our forefathers, who did not so arrogantly boast of being 100 per cent American." POLITICAL ADVERTISING DEFEATED WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? This defeat of the antithelening bill by a Republican Congress leaves the Negro voter between the "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea." The Democratic Party has always been the devil, which pursued our souls. We have looked to the Republican Party as a haven of rest, but now the G, O.P. looms up as a "deep blue sea" at a time when we need the cheap most. We are at sea. We don't know where we shall go from here. We are fearful of our future. The Chicago Defender, the most widely circulated Negro paper in this country in a leading editorial, September 23rd suggests a happy medium as a solution of the situation. And while we may not agree as to the individual suggested by the Defender, in a general way, the editorial offers food for thought of this country. The Charlson call is sounding loud saying "Where do we go from here?" For the benefit of the readers of the Argus, we recount the editorial from the Chicago Defender: WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST The candidacy of this distinguished gentleman for the presidency of the United States in 1924 as the nominees of a third party is being considered and discussed in certain quarters. Should he be nominated and elected something worse than this could happen. Mr. Hearst is not only a wealthy businessman, but also a founder of influential newspapers, and therefore contributes largely to the creation of public sentiment upon important questions. Although politically classed a Democrat, his papers which, of course, reflect his individual views, are reasonably fair in their treatment of public questions, and this is especially true of those in which we are vitally interested. We are not yet prepared, however, to advise that members of our group support the candidate of a third party, whoever he may be. That will be determined by future developments. Until the imamisation of the Tatt administration, the policies of which are being largely carried out by the present administration, the Republican party was held accountable to our government since it stood for and was the embodiment of equal civil and political respect, right enforcement of the Constitution of the land, including the war amendments to the Federal Constitution, and opposition to racial proscription and discrimination. The virtual abandonment of these sacred and fundamental deities and principles by the two administrations referred to, which constituted the principal difference between the two major parties, has produced a situation which makes it incumbent upon members of our group, as well as all white Americans who are in accord with them on these questions, to dredge and dissolve after or before indictment and so forth. In other words, we should in the future support or oppose candidates rather than parties upon their respective records. This being true, it will necessarily follow that more Republicans than Democrats will be the recipients of our endorsement and support for the reason that in spite of the fact that there are some leaders in the Republican party who are repent and fall at the same time we have more friends than enemies in that party and more enemies than allies. HON. DAVID D. ISRAEL "I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE" DAVID D. ISRAEL we should encourage and support our friends and discourage and oppose our enemies, regardless of their party affiliations. As to why it may not be advisable for us to support the candidate of a third party, let us suppose, that the Republicans will make the unpardonable mistake of renominating President Harding or of nominating a man of the type of Senator William E. Borah, and the liberal and fair-minded Northern Democrats should cut loose from the reactionary element of their party at the South and would nominate a man of the type of Edward F. Durney, the former governor of New York, who would be so well known that in the election of either, the country would not be experimenting. As between those two candidates the Democrat of the Durney type would be the most acceptable and the least objectionable. To support a third party candidate under such circumstances would be 'contributing in an indirect way to the success of the candidate for whose defeat we should bind every effort. On the other hand, suppose the Republicans were to nominate a genuine and not hypothetical senator, Senator Shortridge of California, Suburban of West Virginia, Dyer of Missouri, William Hale Thompson of Illinois or any other one of that type, and the Democrats should nominate a man of the type of Woodrow Wilson or any other man under the domination of the southern wing of the party—it would be our duty and to our interest to support the candidate of the Republican party. To support the candidate of the Democratic party, these candidates would be contributing to the defeat of the candidate to whose success we should bend every effort. But if the candidates of both major parties should be unacceptable and objectable we would have everything to lose and nothing to gain by the success of either. If in that case a third party should come to the front with a candidate such as formerly as W. David Hearst, Senator Hiram Johnson of California, or Senator Julie Follette of Wisconsin, or any other one of that type, he would be entitled to and should receive our undivided support. THE CENTER OF NEGRO POPULATION IS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF GA Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 18.—Special—The department of government announces that the center of Negro population as determined by the bureau of the census on the basis of the 14th census enumeration taken January 1, 1920, is in the extreme northwestern corner of Georgia, in Dade County, about one and three-quarters miles north northeast of Rising Fawn, and that for the first time in the history of the county this center has moved northeast, being approximately 9.4 miles farther north in 1920 than in 1910. Its former movements have been in a southwestern direction. In 1750 it was located twenty-five miles west-southwest of Petersburg, Dilliwndie county, Virginia, and 100 years later, in 1800, it had moved southwest of Lafayette, Walker county, Georgia, the same county in which it was located in 1880. Between 1800 and 1900 it crossed the state border to Lilpigna county, 1900 and 1903 it belonged in DeKalb county, Alabama. Its northeastward movement after 1910 has brought 'it back to Georgia. The northeasterly movement of the center of Negro population between 1910 and 1920 is due principally to the great increase in the Negro population of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The total increase in the Negro population of the United States was 635,308, and the increase in the northern states mentioned was 56 per cent of the total increase. This northward movement of the Negro population was due mainly to the expansion of certain industries during the world war, the high wages paid being the great attraction. It is probably true that this has been a considerable movement since the war, due to the depression in certain industries, and that many Negro have moved south to their former homes. Associated Negro Press ATCHISONN, Kann, Oct. 18—John Green, 701, who spent nearly half of his life in slavery, died at the county form have last Friday. He was born in Kann, in 1855, and came to Democratic Candidate For Congress, Twelfth Congressional District, City of St. Louis The name, David Israel, has become a household word in the city of St. Louis. The reason is very easily explained. Mr. Israel has long been identified with public affairs in this great city, and has never been found wanting. And today stands among men as one of the most popular young business men in St. Louis. His wide spread acquaintance with all classes has enabled him to render great service to the Colored people. Mr. Israel is a member of the Real Estate Exchange and the Chamber of Commerce. Served as a chemist in the Oil Department of the State of Missouri under Governor Frederick D. Gardner. He served in that capacity until the latter part of 1921, at which time he resigned from the service. Mr. Israel is thirty-six years of age, married and the father of two children; a resident of St. Louis for the past twenty-six years, enterprising and thrifty. The owner of eight hotels, and in each and every one of his eight hotels, you will find our Boys and Girls, and to Mr. Israel's credit, we owe the employment of 500 Negro Boys and Girls. St. Louis needs a Congressman, such as Mr. Israel. Positive in his convictions, fearless in advocating them at all time. Men of big minds and high principles can always be trusted to represent All the people. Mr. Israel measures up to every expectation. He stands openly against that deadly organization, the Ku Klux Klan, an organization that denounces the Jews, Catholics and Negro, and on this great question we owe it to ourselves to aid in his election. Mr. Israel advocates the modification of the Volstend Law, another open and fearless move. All foolish fears of Democrats have been found to be ill-founded. The time has come for the Negro to drop sentiment and go in for Men and Measures. "Charity begins at Home." The erection of a 12-story fireproof Hotel, to contain 300 Rooms, each with bath and shower and running ice water, to be located on the South West Corner of 20th and Chestnut, 140 feet on 20th, extending to the alley, with 165 feet on Chestnut Street, to cost $800,000, for Colored People, will be the finest in the South West, only drives home to our race what this thrifty young business man is doing to help improve the housing conditions of our people.

THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 20, 1922 IS WASHINGTON, D. C., THE "TRANSFER POINT FOR HADES?" EDITOR ASKS. Associated Negro Press RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 18,—L. C. Miller, Associate Editor of St. Luke's Herald, desires to know whether Washington, D. C., is the "transfer point" for Hades. In a most cleverly written editorial, Mr. Miller goes on to say: "Murder will out! The Union Station at the National Capital is the most monumental symbol of American public udity that ever came within the scope of our sleepless vigil. "A wide awake business man of Richmond and the writer were in Washington last Saturday, and just as we started for Richmond, the whole revolting devilism of southern prejudice rived our heads like a singing stroke of mereless thunder and lightning. "As we rushed past the gates enroute for Richmond, the following rush question demanded an answer: Why do all south-bound passenger trains go Down from the National Capital? Why are all north-bound passengers compelled to change cars for all points when they reach the Capital as though they were entering an alien country? Why upon passing through the gates, are they compelled to travel Down a long flight of statrs or desend in a cumbersome elevator and down through a dark tunnel in order to come South? In this Downwardness due to the fact that the South is Down nearer Hells and, that her K. K. K's mobs, and unnecessary racial hates are due to the activities of escaped lumps of the upper world who infest her because at her contiguousness? "There is a world of difference when we start North from the National Capital. True, the northward going travelers, too, upon reaching the Capital change cars for all points North. They travel up their long flight of stairs rising from the Prebishae Hall of the South of Contemptible Jim Crows, to the upper sphere of a broad level landing. You pass through the gates directly to the trains on a level as earnest as the North Country is a land free and open to the airing air Did the builders of the Capital's Union Station intend to teach that a trip South is necessarily heellard? Why were we forced to come Down, Down, Down, South? Is manhood also Down here? Is courage Down? Is intelligence Down, down Here? We earnestly hope to live long enough to witness a reversal from the custom of saying Down South, and Up North. We would like to hear Down North and Up South. Or at any rate, we want the conditions so changed in the South that we will not feel that a trip this way is morally down, noticer politically, in a fellward direction. Selah! WILBERFORCE, Ohio, Oct. 18.—The construction work on New Shorter Hall to supplant the one destroyed by fire last winter is progressing rapidly. Officials at the University declare that they hope to dedicate the new structure at the 1923 commencement. It was learned from Bishop Joshua H. Jones that campaigns are being conducted in several large cities throughout the United States by citizens interested in Wilberforce University to help raise the balance of the $300,000 necessary to complete the building and equip it. The people of Pittsburgh, Pa., have pledged to raise $50,000 and their campaigns has the endorsement of the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce, and leading white ministers of the city. Mrs Daisy E. Lampkin is in charge of the campaign. A similar campaign is said to be going on in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Charleston. W. Va. Bishop Jones said as far as all expenses incurred in connection with the erection of the new building have been paid and that every effort is being made to have the structure clear of debt when it is dedicated> next June.

Brother John Rice on Monday night, after every debt of the Trustees had been paid and balance left in the treasure gave a line of words in commendation and presented a box containing a valuable gift—following this the Junior Church represented by Misses Leona Wiley, Margarete Cravins, and Levoda Fary, delivered an appropriate address praying the blessings of God upon the Pastor who had been so faithful in his labor of love and patience and presented a token of their respects by a present so highly esteemed and appreciated. The pastor said it was truly beyond his ability to express in words his delightful surprise and closed with a thrill of good will and a Lord bless you all.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES BEGUN AT HOWARD Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18,—With registration practically complete for the college department and the professional schools of Howard University, the regular student activities have begun at Howard with the holding of meetings of the various classes and organizations. President Durkee began on Monday, the series of lectures to be given each week at the noon chapel exercises by a member of the University Faculty. There are five students registered at Howard University this year in courses leading to the Master's Degree, the largest number at any time to pursue graduate work at a school specializing in the training of colored students. A notable feature of the registration this year in the Howard University School of Law is the increase in the percentage of matriculants who have completed from one to four years of work of standard college grade. The initial meeting of the ChiRbo Sigma Fraternity, a chemical society, organized at Howard University last year by professor Sb. Elmo Brady, was held in the Thirkield Science Hall, Monday evening, October 9. FIRST IN EVERYTHING L.B.S.

He expressed great gratitude for the manner in which the ministers and people of the Third Episcopal District had rallied to the support of the University in this movement. CORNER STONE LAYING AT PITTSBURGH Y. M. C. A. PITTSEURGIL—"The greatest cooperative event in the history of the city, if not of the entire state." Thus an observer has described the participation of more than 10,000 people in the ceremonies attending the laying of the cornerstone of the Center Avenue Building of the Y. M. C. A., which will be the second largest establishment of its kind in the country, for colored men and boys. This event took place October 1st. The cooperation of Pittsburgh citizens in this event of September 24 was an impressive demonstration of the spirit of partnership which is making possible this enlargement of service and facilities. It is accepted as an assurance of future interest, as well as an inspiration and challenge to those responsible for leadership in the work of the Center Avenue Branch. The new building will represent a total cost, including site and equipment, of $250,000. It will embody all the facilities of a modern Association building - gymnasium, swimming pool and shower baths, dormitories, restaurant, boys' department, social hall and quarters for religious and educational activities and entertainment features. White and colored citizens joined together to contribute the necessary funds, $25,000 coming from that wise and generous friend of such efforts in all parts of the land, Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. The raising of funds to furnish the new building is the next task. Dr. J. E. Moorland, Senior Secretary of the Colored Men's Christian Associations of North America, has been in Pittsburgh the past several weeks in connection with this part of the financial campaign. Every effort is being made during October to bring in all the necessary funds. It is hoped to do this entirely among the colored citizens themselves. It is interesting to note in this connection that of the $500,000 spent by the colored Associations in this country last year, $500,000 was given by their own group. The Center Avenue Branch Building is one of the features of the Forward Movement Program of the Y. M. C. A. of Pittsburgh as inaugurated early in 1917, much of which has been delayed because the war and the after-war high building costs. The laying of the corner-stone was preceded by a parade, participated in by patriotic and fraternal organizations. The Free and Accepted Masons of the Seventh District of Pennsylvania were in charge of the laying of the stone. Following religious services, addresses were made by Judge, Joseph Buffington, of the Circuit Court of Appeals, and Dr. Moorland. "We are not here to dedicate a building," said Judge Buffington. "Bleak and stone themselves mean nothing. We meet to conserve ourselves to what this building signifies and to what its possibilities are." Need For "Safety First' Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 18. The need for "safety first" in every human activity where physical injury may be preventable was outlined by Ellert H. Gary chairman of the United States Street Corporation in an address on public safety to the Merchants' Association of New York recently. The number of serious preventable accidents every day in this country is appalling, he said. Because of additions in population and congestion in movement the number is increasing, he asserted. He advocated painting on lamp posts and pavements at street corners. "Beware of accidents." Large industrial institutions had proved, he said, that the number of industrial accidents could be reduced by precautionary measures. Contributions of time and money to the prevention of injury should be made as well as to the maintenance of ambulances, hospitals, etc., for the care of the injured. Keep on saying "I can't" and you'll be "canned." I'LL PAY MY BILLS SO YOU CAN PAY YOURS --- A.

CHURCH The unusually late congregation that turned out to hear our Pastor last sermon-of this conference year, was treated to one of the best and most ably delivered sermons ever preached at Wayman, the spirit of God seemed to kindle as the sermon progressed until the whole church gave vent to its feelings with shouts and cries of joy, the beautiful music of the choir whose services have been so faithful, and whose, work and ability to perform are second to none, gave added inspiration. The Pastor read the Morning Lesson from the 15th chapter of St. Matthew, 21st to 31st. Text from the third chapter Revelation, 21st verse. The 8:00 p. m. service was crowned with a wonderful sermon by Rev. T. L. Watson, P. E. of the Missouri Conference from the 23rd chapter Job, 10th verse. Encouraging remarks by Rev. R.

LANE TABERNACLE A large and pleasant congregation visited the Newstead-Ernright sanctuary last Sunday morning. Rev. N. L. Smith's pleasing message was enjoyed immensely. The day wound up after Rev. Smith had lauded Lane Tabernacle's 21 club presidents to the great congregations both Sunday morning and night. We soon hope to have a permanent place set apart for the presidents near the altar, as everyone enjoyed seeing them all together last Sunday morning. The Good Samaritan, Lane Tabernacle's Star Club that reported $800 in the spring-rally continues to be the most popular. The Star president, Mrs. Sarah Farish, is a very busy young lady these days. Just how the Good Samaritans are promoting a gentleman's popularity contest. Mesdames O. W. Johnson, Fred Tidwell, D. A. Walker, N. L. Smith, James Hughes and Mrs. M. Taylor are leading the contest, which will close Monday evening, the 30th. We would just like to whisper that we have reasons to believe that Mrs. O. W. Johnson's division will win Mrs. N. L. Smith and Mrs. Fred Tidwell will struggle for second place. The ladies are having fun and doing much good at the same time. Here's luck to them all. Bishop James A. Hammett spoke to an overflowing congregation last Sunday night. Monday night the presidents banqueted the chair and pastor. Rev. N. L. Smith departed for annual conference at Glary, Ind. Tuesday morning Mr. L. B. Reed, teacher of the New Progressives Sunday School class was called to New Madrid, Mo., on account of the death of his father. The Jap party at the home of Mrs. L. B. Oliver last Monday night was a big success. The next little party will be at the home of Mrs. Mattie Murphy, 4015 Finney Ave; Friday evening the 27th. Mr. Jessie Parker of our Usher Board was among the lucky ones to receive a prize at Eastern Gate last Friday night. Mr. Parker will have the pleasure of sitting for photographs at the Maxwell studio. The Tom Thumb wedding will be read amusing this Monday night; do not miss it. The first Sunday in November will be harvest home day. Rev. H. H. Jones will preach at 11 o'clock next Sunday. He has served fourteen years as missionary in Africa. One of the A. M. E. visiting ministers will preach at night. MORNING STAR M. B. C. 192 Division Street. Dr. Cook, Vice President of the National Baptist Convention delivered two great speeches during his short stay in the City of St. Louis, enroute to Little Rock- Ark. While there, Dr. Cook was the guest of Dr. J. Alexander. Dr. Cook is 'taking his very sick wife to the Springs and as he, himself, is very feeble, he was lead to the Station by a host of friends and by that great leader of the M. S. B. C., in the person of Dr. J. A. Alexander, whose wife is an invalid but still have those sweet ways. A host of friends were there to make things pleasant. A number of autos were at the service of Dr. Alexander to take Dr. Cook around the parks and villages at intervals. A world of friends called upon him while he was in the city. Dr. Alexander and his members were fortunate in that their ground breaking Sunday, Oct. 8th, on the spacious lot, recently purchased for the erection of a new Church home came while Dr. Cook was visiting. In addition to a noble sermon by Dr. Alexander there were several excellent papers read by Brother Stevy 'Duncan, subject, "This Ground is Holy unto the Lord"; Sister R. L. Knack, "Dedication"; Brother T. A. Knox, subject, "Preparing for a Better Home"; Sister M. Spikes, subject, "The Lord Dedicated with Joy." Dr. Alexander raised quite a sum of money. Roy J. A.

Copyright, 1933, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR OCTOBER 22 LESSON TEXT-Luke 4:1-13 GOLDEN TEXT-For in that He Him- self hath suffered be tempted, He is acorn them that are tempted. -Heb. 2:18. REFERENCE MATERIAL - Phil. 2:5-11; PHIL. 2:14, 4:18-19; PHIL. 2:20. PRIMARY TOPIC-Jesus Overcomes Temptation. JUNIOR®TOPIC—Jesus Tempted to Do Wrong. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Overcoming Temptation. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -What Christ's Victory Means to Us. 1. The Place of (v. 1.). The wilderness of Judea. The first man, Adam, was tempted in a garden with the most pleasant surroundings. The second man, Jesus Christ, was tempted in a barren wilderness surrounded by wild beasts (Mark 1:13). II. The Purpose of (v. 1). He was led into a wilderness by the Spirit. Christ's temptation was Messianic. Though He was "tempted in all points like as we are," we are not tempted as He was in this instance, but the same methods are employed on us. During the eighteen years of retirement Satan surely tempted Christ as he tempts us. Satan, no doubt, would have gladly escaped this hour, but the time had come for the Redeemer to enter upon His mediatorial work; therefore He went from the place of anointing and heavenly recognition as the Son of God to meet and despoil the arch enemy (Heb. 2:4). 1. It was not a preparation for His work, but rather its first conflict. In baptism we have the syrubolic act of dedication of himself to the work of redemption through the cross—the making full a righteousness. In the temptation, the strong man is spoiling the enemy. 2. It was not to see if Christ would stand fast—would fail under the most crucial test. Christ could not fail. To so postulate would make God's scheme of redemption to have been unsettled until after this temptation, and would have made God guilty of setting forth a scheme of redemption on the basis of a possible overthrow. 3. It was to show Christ as an object upon which we may rest our faith with unshaken confidence. He came as the second Man, the head of a new race, its very source and life. It was a demonstration of the inseparableness of the divine and human natures in the incarnation. III. The Method of (vv. 2-12). Christ as the world's Redeemer sustained a threefold relation—Son of Man; Son of God; and Messiah, therefore Satan made each one a ground of attack. 1. As Son of Man (vv. 2-4). Satan made his first assault upon Him as a man by appealing to the instinct of hunger. Satan urged Him to use His divine power and convert a stone into bread. Hunger is natural and sinless. The temptation was in satisfying a right hunger in a wrong way. To have yielded in this case would have been to renounce the human limitations which He had taken for our sakes. To use divine power, to satisfy human needs would have been to fall as Saviour and Redeemer. 2. As Meesthb (vv. 5-8). Here the temptation was to grasp His rightful dominion by false means. The devil offered to surrender unto Him the world if He would worship him. The force of this temptation was in the fact that the kingdoms of the world are Christ's by God's covenant with Him. God's method by which Jesus was to possess the world was the cross. The temptation Satan is pressing upon the church today is to get possession of the world by other means than the cross. 3. As Son of God (vv. 9-12). Here Satan tries to induce Christ to presume upon God's care. He quotes a Messianic Psalm to induce Him to so act. To do the spectacular thing in order to get notice is to fall into Satan's temptation. For Jesus to have placed himself in danger in order to get God's special help in delivering Him would have been to sin. To put one's self in moral and spiritual peril in order to test God's faithfulness is to sin. Satan is never quite so dangorous as when he quotes Scripture. IV. Christ's Defence (vv. 4, 8, 12). It was the Word of God. He met and repulsed the enemy with "It is written." Our defense is God's Word. May every Sunday school teacher know how to use it! V. The issue (v. 13). Satan is vanquished. If we will but trust God and use His Word we too can overcome. Superior and Interior. You may fall, to shine in the opinion of others, both in your conversation and actions, from being superior, as well as inferior to them.—Greville. Faith. Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.—Hebrews 2:1. The Lord's Day. Ye shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary; I am the Lord—Leviticus 19:30.

J. W. FLETCHER, Pastor. FAIRFAX AVENUE BAPTIST CH. 3966 Fairtax Avenue Hosanna, loud and long, are resounding throughout the camp of Israel for Jehovah is on our side. Praises from grateful, loving hearts filled with adoration, ascended from the altar of our hearts to God, who give us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. When Moses (our late lamented leader) Rev. D. W. Morris) was called away the clouds hung thick and heavy, but through perseverance, prayer and faith we cried to God for help, protection and guidance. He answered by sending Joshua (Rev. J. D. Howard) who is now leading this army from victory to victory. If you have not heard this discipline of Christ, we would urge you to hasten to correct your error, for the Word of God is truly preached to both rich and poor, high and low, to the glory and honor of God. After 3 weeks visit to Mississippi, he resumed his duties on last Sunday to a record breaking crowd. At eleven his discourse was from the text of the Eagle Strirther Her Nest, paraphrased with God's care of His own. At night, to a swamping crowd, eagerly awaiting to be filled, he preached "Religion versus Personal Work." Words cannot portray this masterful sermon, which awakened, quickened and electrified all hearers and will build thoughts into deeds with real Christians. If you would be fed: if you are spiritually cold? if you would hear a pure gospel, then come early to one of our wonderful feasts, and hear this God sent disciples. Also beginning Sunday, October 22nd, we will hold a rally through to the first Sunday in November. This will be a feature rally, not of the crowded five minutes kind; resembling a money mart, but a wholesome, enjoyable fellowship with our fellow churches, who will assist us. To the members of this church, you are charged to pay in this rally, five dollars for the sisters and the brothers ten dollars. The trumpeteers are calling us to arms Christian warriors and the greatest revival in the history of St. Louis is being planned. Beginning Monday night, November 6th, we shall engage in this mighty campaign. Will you be one of us? This invitation is extended as far and as wide as this circulation reaches. It is to one and all and to this city in particular. You are now as always our guests of honor, dear visitors; hospitality and every courtesy is extended to you. Welcome everybody at all times. Rev. J. D. Howard, Pastor. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH Pastor Stevens was able to attend the State Convention one day and was at Central Church twice on Sunday, which shows great improvement.

Tomb Of Antiochus, Cousin Of King Herod, Is Found Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 18.—The tomb of Antiochus, a captain of King Herod, has been discovered in Palestine, according to word received here last Monday from the University of Pennsylvania expedition which has been carrying on excavations in the Holy Land. Antiochus personally directed the slaughter of hundreds of early Christians. The tomb is said to contain material of insignificant value of historical value. Colored Man Confesses Killing Woman 8 Months Ago. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL. Oct. 18—Eight months ago Mrs. Bessie Greenburg was slain in the apartment building she owned at 7418 W. Fifteenth Street. A towel saturated with chloroform, was found wrapped around her neck. And last Monday in East St. Louis, Sergt. Costella arrested the murderer, and obtained a complete confession. He was Peggy Robinson, a 21-year-old Nygrie who confessed having killed the woman. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 20, 1922 DOUGLAS LIFE IS MAKING GOOD Business Nearly Doubled During Present Year. The Stock Sale Now On. Officers Elated Over Success. Speaking of the progress of Douglass Life Insurance Company in an interview with an Argus representative this week, Mr. R. A. Turner, secretary and general manager of the company said, "Since we made our announcement through your paper a few weeks ago that we were ready to launch our pro-subscription campaign, we have been greatly encouraged. By a well directed force we have been able to interest persons as far away as Alexandria, La. Even in St. Louis our office is constantly being called for information on the offer we are making to the race. Our agents have awakened to the great possibilities of the company and the growth of the weekly business tells us that the people are alive to the protection the company is able to give them." Further, he said, "It is surprising to us to know that the entire business of last year was $23,600, and that in nine months of this year, that is up to October 1, 1922, we had a total income of $31,676.57. This gives you an idea of what we will be able to do after we have increased our capital stock and open up the life business in our company." When asked why the company felt unable to write life insurance under the capital stock of $10,000, Mr. Turner said that insurance experience had taught him that no company could successfully do a life business on a small capital. Life business is a big business and requires big capital in order to make it a successful investment for the people. The company is making preparations to enlarge its offices and after it has done so it will have a Douglass week program and invite the public in for one hour each day of that week to see and to hear of the experiences and accomplishments of the company in making a sound institution. The officers of the company are greatly elated over the progress being made and say that while persons around the institution only have a faint idea of the true value of the institution, people thousands of miles away are anxious to get in on the company's program. There will be only a few shares distributed in Missouri compared to what will be distributed in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and Kentucky. The office is open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. FATHER AND SON WEEK The so-called "boy problem" appears to some people to be very largely due to a condition which might be called a "parent problem." One writer has wisely put it: Here are the boys who would do right But where are the MEN to lead." The crying need of the boy of today, when the fight for manhood of the right sort is more difficult and more perilous than ever, is an older comrade to face the fight of life with him. When boys leave home as fast as they can in the afternoon when school is over it is not because they love their homes less, but God has so made them so that they love masculine contacts more when play time comes. The thing that a boy leaving childhood seeks is a hero and a leader, the thing that he must have is association with persons interested in things that boys like, and that person must have once been a boy to understand him and sympathize with him. This is the father's one big opportunity to plant himself in the life of his son and mould his own play into the form he would have it. Big brothers are fine, but the boy's best logical "big brother" is no other person than his own father. Fathers of boys, what does your boy think of you when you come to his mind? Do you appear as a "spanking machine" (as some mother unwittingly discribes you while you are away from home)? Are you just the provider of board and lodging, etc.? Are you somebody whom he must not anoy nor vex? Or are you his best friend, most sympathetic and encouraging companion and the hero that every boy wants his dad to be.

A conference of a busy group of men was on, and looking about it was discovered that there were three "W. White's." in the big assembly room, and two of them answer to the name of "William." They were; William White, general manager of the Association of Trade and Commerce. The co-incidence was mentioned, and all had a good laugh. Each White is a busy man, and a real part of each is playing in the progress of the race. What Is The Exact Status Of The Muscle Shoals? CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., Oct. 11.- Special to the A. N. P. A pertinent question of today is this: "What is the exact status of 'the Muscle Shoula'" what action will be taken. But the people of the Tennessee valley believe firmly that in the end the bid of the Détroit manufacturer will be accepted. As they see the thing, the wisest course open - to the government, and throne in which the farmer will be considered most, is the acceptance of the Ford bid. The fact that the American Farm Bureau and the Mississippi Valley Association, two powerful farm organizations, are in favor of the Ford bid, and are exerting their influence towards having it accepted, serves to strengthen the belief of the people here that it will be vastly beneficial to the farmer and help to keep Negro labor in this section of the South.

ATTITUDE OF THE JAPANSE TOWARD COLORED PEOPLE Editor Of "Jitsu-Seikatsusha" Says Best Answer Is Fact That Government Officially Proposed Equality Of Races At Versailles Conference. CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 18—An interesting' conference was held here last week by Umeshroh Suzuki, Tokyo, Member of Parliament and also one of the leading sugar men of Japan, Shirrayanagi, Editor of "The Jitsushikatsu Shin," the Social Reformers' Review, Tokyo, Tatsu Okada of Kojunsha Club, Tokyo, and Jesu Binga, president of Binga State Bank. The Japanese are studying social conditions, particularly as they affect the Negro in this country. The conference which was carried on with Mr. Okada acting as interpreter, brought forth the following questions as asked by both the Japanese and colored banker after they had inspected the handsome quarters of the bank: "Mr. Binga wanted to know, 'What is the attitude of Japanese toward colored people?' Mr. Suzuki replied, 'The best answer to that is the fact that the Japanese government officially proposed equality of races at the Versailles Conference. The principle is larger than the particular situation of any race. There is no discrimination in Japan. All foreigners are on the same basis and are accepted according to their social standing.' Mr. Binga recounted the various difficulties which the Negro faces in America—some of his pet phrases being, "The white man is silently withdrawing his Christianity from the Negro. He does not want to share any good thing with him. The white men are so avaricious that they are destroying 'each other and' warring against each other." He said, "There was the Ku Klux Klan pitied against the Jews, the Catholics, and Negroes. There was capital against labor. And he came the Negro picking up the Cross. The white man was too busy to stop his progress." Mr. Suzuki unanswered: "The darker races must admit at this particular time the white races are in the lead and it is up to us to secure all of the benefits which might be possible from our contact with them. I feel the development of, any race must come from the evolution of the entire group Of course, there are exceptional individuals who might make particular and spectacular progress, but the whole body must be moved up I believe that that race makes the greatest growth white or dark, which gets the greatest outside contact with other races, and therefore acquires the broadest viewpoint." hopes to observe conditions at first-hand. The Associated Negro Press representative who sat in on the conference raised the question as to whether or not the Japanese regarded themselves, as has been claimed by Lothrop Stoddard, and other writers, the leaders of the dark races of the world, in their sport to improve their conditions. The distinguished visitor diplomatically evaded an answer to this question. Mr. Suzuki has planned a tour to take in Washington, New York and various cities of the South, where he Another "Narrow Escape" From Lynching In Chicago Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Oct. 18—Only the timely arrival of the Maxwell street police prevented the Lynching last Tuesday of Joseph Lewis, colored, 549 West, 13th St. The Negro, drunk with moonshine, had created a panic at South Jefferson and West 13th Street by殴打 him a crowd of men, women and children. When his revolver was emplied he was set upon by a mob of men, who were beating him and crying, "Lynch Him!" when the police arrived and placed the Negro in custody.

The murderers confessed their guilt and said they had committed the crime for the good of the young woman, who was young and pity land might have been a temptation to other men, and she might have failed to properly reyere the memory of her husband. AMERICA'S SPIRITUAL QUALITIES DEGENERATED SINCE THE CIVIL WAR AMERICA'S SPIRITUAL QUALITIES DEGENERATED SINCE THE CIVIL WAR Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—Meredith Nicholson, novelist and essayist, says: "America reached its spiritual peak at the time of the Civil War. For the past fifty years America's spiritual qualities and idealism have steadily degenerated. "Now, in a world grown gray with materialism, the younger people have cracked the barriers of yesteryear, have given sex virtue an indifferent status in their scheme of things and have forced every intelligent observer of American life to the sober conclusion that the old concept of marriage the home, religion, sex standard are gone—definitely and absolutely gone." Nicholson's summary was given sadly. He made no reference to the Race Problem. N. A. A. C. P., Urges Support Of Democratic Congressmen Who Voted For Dyer Bill N. A. A. C.

Name No. Street City they having captured both contests of the previous week. In winning three out of five games from the Wabada the Stars were forced to use every trick in the bag and some swell pitching by Bell and Meyers as well as the timely hitting of McAdoo, Charleston and Ray. These three battles did the most to win the series. McAdoo won two of the games with timely hits. His timely single in the eighth inning of the first game clinched the contest and again the tall first sacker won the final and deciding, game with a ringing double to center, scoring two men in the fifth inning. Saturday's Game The Stars won but one game of the three played last week but the one they captured, carried with it the series. The Stars lost Saturday's contest 7 to 1. Sunday's game went to the Wabada Stars by a 7 to 4 score while the Stars captured Monday's game 5 to 3. On Saturday Lefty Gockel, a Cardinal recruit, stopped the Stars holding them to six hits and a lone tally, Oltman pitched the game for the Stars and was hit for eight blows and these added to the four bases on balls which he issued enabled the Wabada to score their seven runs. Gockel held the Stars scoreless in the first, second and third and his teammates scored three runs for him in the second inning which was enough to win the game although they did add one run in each the sixth and seventh and scored twice in the eighth. The three runs came as the result of Warfield's wild throw after two men were out and scored Hauk and Billings and allowing Coleman to reach second. Gockel sent the big catcher over with a single to center for the third run of the inning. The third and fourth innings proved scowell for the Stars but in the fourth Charleston singled and Kennedon's double gave the Stars their only run of the game. A base on balls to Schmandt and a triple by Archdeacon gave the Wabada's a run in the sixth. Billings walked to open the seventh and by a great sprint reached "third on Coleman's show roller to Warfield. Gockel was called out on strikes. Robertson hit to Me Adoo who fumbled and when Oldham failed to cover first. Robertson was safe and Billings scored. The Wabada's scored their final runs in the eighth when they chased a pair of tallies over on three singles and a sacrifice.

Only Need One More Victory. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 18 — The Kansas City Blues of the American Association finally won a game from the Monarchs, of the National Negro League, Tuesday. It was the fifth game in a series of nine for the baseball championship of Kansas City. The Colored boys, won two straights and after being delayed because of the weather, the series was resumed Sunday. Again the Monarchs put over two straights, making four. Then the Blues succeeded in gaining a victory on Tuesday. As the series stands at this time the Monarchs need to win but one game while the Blues must run a string of five-straights to annex the City Championship. This appears to be a physical impossibility considering the strength of the Negro League club. Monarchs Rally and Win The Blues don't seem able to stop the Monarchs and were thrown off the stride again Sunday, when the Colored exponents of the so-called national pastime staged a ninth in- ning rally and cut the Goodmen down by a 7 to 6 count for the third straight of the series. Hard luck and poor baseball contributed to the Blues' downfall, although the right arm of Hogan and the hefty swat- ting of Johnson were the principal reasons for the defeat: Gus Bono started on the hill for the Blues but gave way in the sev- enth to Ray Caldwell, who is charged with the defeat, as the Goodnes went into the lead in the eighth frame. Gus gave flashes of old form at times, but was hit hard most of the way. His best per- formance was fanning four men that faced him in the third and fourth innings. Home Runs Open Game The game started as though it would be a battle of home runs. Moore lifted one of Bono's fast ones over the fence in the first inning, after two were down, and Beal's Becker tied it up in the Blue half with a double-blow. In the second frame Johnson gave an intimation of what was to come when he sent the Monarchs into the Tend with another four-ply smack. Going into the ninth with the Blues in the lead. Moore opened with a hit McNair tied to Becker and Johnson slamped the ball far into center field, the pellet bounding on the top of the fence and over for a home run.

It was a 2 to 1 pitchers' duel between Jimmy Zinn and Rube Currie. Few games have been played at the Olive street grounds this year that carried the thrills of the fourth series battle. The Monarchs won because they played better ball, although the error column shows the Negro club with three defensive mistakes. As for the breaks in the game they were practically all in favor of the victors. Jimmy Zinn pitched well enough to be returned as a winner but his aloes were helpless facing the "stuff" Rube Currie, was dishing up to the plate. Currie did not allow a hit in the first three innings and when the Blues entered the eighth they had obtained only three. The McNarchs scoring came in the first inning and it was a drive over the right field fence by left fielder, McNair which caused the damage. John Donaldson led off with an infield hit. Zinn then fanned Duncan and caused Moore to ground to Brief. But McNair picked out a pitch to his liking and when last seen the white pellet was sailing toward Wabash avenue, Donaldson scoring ahead of the sun fielder. In the ninth McNair pulled the greatest play of the game. He took Zinn's bounder coming in and all in the same motion pegged to the plate. Duncan, the Monarch catcher, tagging Scott in a fine play. Score By Innings Blues ..... 000 100 000--1--6 0 Monarchs ..... 200 000 00x--2 83 Batteries: Zinn and Skiff; Currie and Duncan. The Blues finally won a game Tuesday and delayed the Monarchs in their championship victory at least another day. Coming out of a battling slump and getting the kind of pitching that J hard to beat, the Association Club won the fifth game of the series 8 to 3. Roy Wilkinson was the hero of the afternoon. While sitting in the Clubhouse before the game Roy said that if he was beaten it was the last time he never hoped to pitch again. Probably he didn't mean it, but he certainly acted as if he was hurling for a job. Wilkinson held the Negro Club to seven hits, three of them to the infield, walked only two batters and threw the horschide past eleven. Further proof that Roy can stop out when necessary. "Plunk" Drake pitched for the Monarchs. At times Drake had the Blues swinging like Babe Ruth in a world's series but at other times he worked like a Yank burter facing the Giants. Thirteen hits were charged against him. A few wore gratefully but the big majority were unquestionable. **Score By Innings.** Monarchs ..... 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 3 Blues ..... 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 Batteries: Drake and Duncan: Williamson and Skinault.
