ELECTION WAS DEATH BLOW TO LILY-WHITEISM Associated Negro Press Washington, Nov. 15—It has happened! The election. The "I-Told You So" Society is now functioning in enthusiastic assemblies. Election returns tell a most interesting story Political leaders in all sections are studying them religiously. The Associated Negro Press has carefully coined the entire field for unvarnished what it is worth for information and guidance in future—to say nothing of present activities. The election reveals first of all that Colored voters took President Harriard at his word, in his message at Birmingham, Alabama and divided their votes as never before. This, is one of the amazing facts of the election. The votes were not divided because President's suggestion, but in spite of it. Throughout the entire North, Democrats made open and unqualified bids for Colored votes. In such states as Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, Michigan, New Jersey, Delaware, New York and Massachusetts, Democratic organizations plead and labored for, Colored votes, and got publicists were advised of this state of affairs, but in many cases, were either indifferent or refused to take the matter seriously. Specific Cases. Democratic politicians played to the cause—party advantage—for the effect-votes and office. For example in Missouri, where thousands of Colored voted for Senator Reed, the wet and dry issue was used and the other thousands voted for Governor Edwards, instead of Senator Frelinghuysen. In some other states, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana, for example, the Ku Klux Klan issue was used extensively, and effectively. Democrats "branded" Republican candidates with the approbation of the Klux. Republicans waved aside Democrats and depended for the most part on legislation and buck. They failed in many important instances. "Discontent," is the general term used for the results. That is a good term; but the cause, so far as colored roters are concerned, must be traced back to the beginning. Here are some: 1. Lily White policy of the South. 2. Reduction of representation in National Conventions. 3. Failure to make larger number of appointments and promotions. 4. Failure of Senate to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson. 5. Failure to finally pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Act. 6. Failure of internal of leaders in party organization program. Lily White Idea Murdered. The Lily White idea of increasing Republican power in the South has been murdered in cold blood. The critical Democratic South rises, to laugh to storm Republican offices in the South" ousely proclaimed in the laws of the adherents of Abraham Lincoln. Tennessee went back to the Democrats, and Texas, where hope spreads, eternal vote in their Ku Klux Senator, a Democrat. Virginia, the state of Rascom Slemp, originator of the new Lily White policy after a series of campaigns from the district where, Slemp lives in seeing the "handwriting on the wall," and refusing to be crucified. Michigan defeating Senator Townsend, Republican, and friend to all appeals in the Senate former Governor Ferris, "Newberryman" was used as an issue, but the strategists also said that Gov. Ferris is a friend of Colored people," and proceeded to prove it by the record. Indiana, state of vice-Presidents and all-year-round politicians, voted to confirm Albert J. Beveridge at home. Colored voters taking the stance that Beveridge while protecting friendship now, failed to exercise much of it while Senator, and nicked the party traces in 1912. The St. Louis Argus Senator Lodge of Massachusetts Republican leader of the United States Senate, received a fife showing of Colored votes. It is believed or every hand that Senator Lodge will use every influence to have the Dyer bill acted upon at the Special session of Congress. In Illinois, the state was Republican, but the county of Cook was Democratic. Early election night reports throw a scare into the friends of Congressman Madden and Mann, who represent districts largely inhabited by Colored voters, when it secured that both might be defeated. Final results showed their election, but also showed that the Democrats pulled thousands of votes among Colored citizens. With the majority election on next April, in Chicago, and Mayor Thompson, announcing that he will again be a candidate if the people desire him, and the showing made by Democrats in Colored wards, there is consternation in Republic in circles. In Ohio, Colored voters split their votes, and the showing made to elect Col Thompson as Governor, is regretted by Colored voters, the defeat of Senator Pemerone and the election to the Senate of Congressman Fess, shows a division of Colored votes. Some, for each candidate, in Pennsylvania, Colored voters do some divider, but Senators Pepper and Pemerone politize, while the defeat of Senator Sutherland of West, Virginia is not attributed to defection of Colored voters, but to local matters. Starting For 1924. Chastened by the election of 1922 Republicans throughout the nation by the Republican efforts in 1924. Their efforts will meet a newly militant - Democratic party that neither knows nor gives quarter, but it appears that the Republican leaders are determined to play "old time politics" and bring out the Rosseau than "Square Deal" motto to be used from now on. The air will be rife with politics until after November. 1924. Talk of a Third Party continues, but it will be clear that Colored voters will give ear to Republican pleadings, if they "come clean" rather than trust the Democrats for a President, or Third Party in which there would be some leadership of questionable sincerity. INFLUENCE OF COLORED NEWSPAPER IN POLITICS RECOGNIZED BY ALL INFLUENCE OF COLORED NEWSPAPER IN POLITICS RECOGNIZED BY ALL CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 15.—Attention is directed to the part played by Colored newspaper in the recent election. Only a limited number of the papers urged their readers to "Vote the Straight Republican ticket." The majority of them gave preference to Republican news, while a number gave liberal space to news of local events. The newspapers vertirements from both parties, as the daily papers do. In a few instances, newspapers normally Republican, openly opposed certain Republican candidates. The newspapers, were quoted both in editorials and news articles by stump speakers. The great influence of Colored newspapers is recognized by all political parties, leaders, candidates and the people themselves.

About two hundred proud fathers and sons filled the gymnasium of the Pine Street Department Y. M. C. A last Saturday night. The light and Son Banquet was the attraction, and we venture to say that Saint Louis is just that much better and happier a town to live in as a result. Could one look down those long tables, note the happy faces of the boys and the pleased countenances of the fathers, feel the atmosphere of comradeship and joy, and notice the most of that peculiar happiness on the faces of sons, that peculiar pride on the part of fathers and that type of companionship and devotion to characterize the attitude of both fathers and sons towards each other, the purpose of the banquet would be clearly revealed to him and the value of it would impress him beyond description. The Mixer. Before the banquet the fathers and sons present spent the hour-getting amused. Not only did stranger meet stranger, but the foes were in amused games on the lobby floor, together Dads were introduced to the fine kind of playfellows their boys are. Oh it was fine!

REPUBLICANS APPEAR DETERMINED TO PASS LIBERIAN LOAN BILL Will Give Lecrative Positions To Serene American White Officials Who Have Been Selected Associated Negro Press Washington, D. C. Nov. 15.—President Harding two days after the disastrous election returns, has called an extra session of Congress to begin a vote on a bill pending among them the $5,000,000 Liberian Loan, which is the second bill on the calendar, the ship subsidy having the right of way with the Anti-Lynching Bill third. The Republicans are reported to be determined to pass the Liberian Loan, American and International banks that the bill is would be without means of collecting unless the loan was made are said to be exerting pressure. Comment made by leading colored men here disclosed considerable doubt as to the actual benefits Liberia will derive in the event of the Louns passage. American势力 have impaired the ability of the government to agree proposed. Several American officials are down for iterative positions and white men are salto be already selected. President King's salary will be increased, but by the time obligations are paid there will be no change in the number of people according to these informants. An interesting development in the Liberian situation is the offer of the Commercial Securities Co. of Dufam, N. C. W. Gomex, Press, made to President King, to float a popular loan to the colonies the colorful people of the country. The Dyer Anti-Leaching bill is said to have but little change of passing the Senate. The Democrats have promised a billiger if attempts are made to force it through, but the colonies have been reluctant. The colored voters who evoked no derogation in the Northern states on election day. In the basement, everybody has his car to the ground. American officials have said they will have the life of a slave in the colonies that have no public, the derails may occur on another occasion.

Bascomb Slemp's district the 9th was carried by the Democrats for the first time in the District, and the father having held it prior to his ascendancy, Slemp, the leader of Lily Whiteslum, saw the handwriting on the wall and declined to run. Chairman Joseph G. Pollard expressed himself as亮然ly pleased with the result. He said: "Never before have the groups of Whiteslum pursued to announce their political independence, and then take the position to have it known that they propose, in the future, to make their independent felt. In every State similar movements to this one in Virginia are taking shape, and what the Virginians have to develop an armed force, and next presidential contest the Negro will be in splendid" organization to demand their proper recognition."

Shields, Democrat as president from the 21st assembly district, was sent to the Republican candidate, made a good run, but the general disaffection from the Republican ticket by colored voters caused his defeat by a few hundred.

He was fought as bitterly by colored voters as was Layton of Delaware who bit the dust when Robert Nelson's cohorts took the field against him. DuPont of Cleveland lost for the legislature.

A Square Deal For Every WOULD KEEP CRIT. CLARK FROM OFFICE Although Colored Justice Of The Peace Elect Has Won Five Times, Efforts Are Still Being Made To Rob Him Of The Office. General Conspiracy On The Part Of Certain Politicians Seen, Jealousy Said To Be The Cause. When Crittenden Clark gets his certificate of election as Justice of Peace, he will doubtless say as the poet, through many dangerous tales and smears they already come." And the bishop will agree that Celt Clark has had a fight on his hands ever since it first looked like he was a winner, in the primary election. After having won five times in his contest for the office of Justice of the Peace, now comes one of his democratic opponents with a brand new suit instituted in the Court Court he helped the office to which Clark was duly elected on the ground that Clark is not a resident of the district. It will be remembered that this was the alleged, grounds upon which Harry McChesney contested Clark's election following the Primary, and the Supreme Court decided in Clark's favor. Those who are well informed, say that, the complaint has no issue but this is a gift to Clark which financially to the extent that he will not be able to pay the high attorney fees necessary to his defense. Mr. Clark in the meanwhile has employed two of the best informed attorneys, on election law in the State to defend his right to the office which he has justly won. The case will be heard by Judge Hall in Division Fourteen of the Circuit Court next Monday, November 21st.

November 3, 1919: The month of November is here. The saddest month of the year. I think of my darlings in silence; No eyes can see me weep. But many a silent tear I shed When others are asleep. 'Tis not the tears of the moment shed That told how I love the souls that fled; But the silent tears that I have wept And fond remembrance I kept, died in 1916. IN MEMORIAM. In remembrance of our little darling Dorris G. Hubbard, who died Nov. 17, 1918: Days of sadness still come over us, Tears in silence after, flow; Sad 'and sudden was the call, Yet, we know that you are happy, in the sweet eternal rest. You are sadly missed by mother Mabib Hubbard; father, R. C. Hub bard and one sister and two brothers IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our beloved father, Egypt Wellington, who died November 20th, 1916, James Wellingbrothers, Willie Wellington, who died November 20th, 1916, James Wellington, who died, November 21, 1913.

Sadly missed by the family. Signed, Mrs. Minnie C. Shepperd daughter. Adv. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our dear brother, Walter Moman, who died November 15, 1913.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dearest mother, Mrs. Katie Jackson who de- parted this life November 15, 1914. There was a feast in heaven on that morning.

That is why he wanted her so As the 15th grows nearer, we can feel her suffering, her p resistance, we wanted to dear. Keep on good naught while the leaves are fading best by leaf. Open Until 6:30 P.

It is a Zane Grey picture and contains one of the most thrilling horse races ever staged and as a climax, the heroine is seen, tied face down on the back of a fear-maddened horse recently reclaimed from a wild state, riding towards a precipice. The photography for this Mazeppa-like ride and for the great horse race at the rodeo is a fine example of how emotion-stirring mere motion photoplay can become. Hairof Lloyd will be seen in "Grand Ma's Boy" on Sunday. Lloyd is the boy who, all his life, has been gripped by fear. One day, after his weakness had been driven vory forcibly home to him, and he is filled with shame, his little old fashioned, grandma tells him a marvelous story of how his grandfather, who had distinguished himself in the Civil War, overcome his cowardice with the aid of a charm given him by a gypsy. Grandma gives the Boy the charm, and what he does then is too good to offell. Suffice to say that the Boy finds that courage is a matter of self-confidence, and he comes at on top.

B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. We have read with a deal of interest the address delivered by Senator James A. Reed at the Armory on Armistice Day. During this address, he is quoted as making these remarks: All Fought for Liberty. "So all races and all creeds fought for liberty. What was to be this liberty? A government where there would be no prescription against a person because of race or religion. Each was to be entitled to stand on his own feet. We were to establish a democracy. Any man who will proscribe a man because of race or religion is not acquainted with the principles of American liberty. Accepting these words as being sincere, we must confess that they are encouraging to us coming as they do, so closely after the Senator has been re-elected for six more years. If he believes in what he says, surely he will have the courage to work for it. Yes, we fully agree with the Senator, that during the late war, all races and all creeds fought for the same liberty. The Negro was among those who made the sacrifice and "did his bit." So we are wondering if Senator Reed is among those who would now deny the Negro that democracy for which he so nobly fought and died. We are thinking of the words of Senator Reed when he said: "Any man who will proscribe a man because of race or religion is not acquainted with the principles of American liberty." As a lawyer and senior senator from this state, we take it for granted that Senator Reed is acquainted with the principles of American liberty; and for that reason, we shall expect him to work for those liberties to which all men are entitled, regardless of race or creed. Let us hope that not mere words touching upon these vital questions will satisfy Senator Reed, but let us hope that all of his power and influence will be used to bring about these things. When this is done then we can truly say, "he is a representative of all the people." The success of four Negro candidates in the recent election presents a most hopeful sign of a better day for the race in this city and state. The election of three constables and one Justice of the Peace was not due to the loyalty of the local Republican party, but it was the result of the Negroes being loyal to themselves. It was fortunate that the Fourth Constabulary District, in which two constables and one Justice was elected, the Negroes were in the majority by large numbers, and of course, their loyalty was attested by the returns which gave the Negro candidates such nice majorities. The combined vote of the whites, both Democrats and Republicans was not enough to defeat the Negroes in the district. There is no doubt in our minds what would have happened if a trade could have been made without letting the Negroes in on it. A striking example may be seen in the case of Walthall Moore. We are glad to see the Negroes beginning to think for themselves. We are a power in politics in this city and state if we only knew it. Congressman L. C. Dyer and "Billie Huble" were quite active in the behalf of John W. Shine on the ground that Shine was on the Republican ticket. Mr. Dyer, it is charged threatened to get W. E. Osborne's job if the latter opposed Shine. We do not see how the congressman is going to harmonize his arguments for a square deal to the Colored man and at the same time, support a man like Shine. As for Billie Huble, we are only "biding the time." President Harding went fishing in the South with lilywhitism as his bait. He made his draught during the recent election, but caught nothing. From all indications, his net must have broken and he lost some of those that he actually had before he went fishing in the South. The Republican party in St. Louis, taught us a lesson by which we should be greatly benefitted in the future, and that is we have been shown that all republicans are not "angels" and all Democrats are not "devils." It's pretty hard some times to be what you "ain't." We hope that the victory which came to Senator Reed, in the recent election will make him a better man and more considerate to all the people. Looking over the field for the right kind of timber for a Federal Judge, let us turn our eyes upon Conway Elder. He is an upstanding, capable man. He is the right kind of timber "Uncle Sam." Frank Slater, Committeeman from the Seventeenth Ward, has either lost control of his ward or he double-crossed Walthall Moore. Despite the fact that Senator Peter Anderson denied that he had any part with the so-called O'Fallon Park Protective Association, he received a hell-of-a scratching in the Negro wards. The Argus wishes to direct the attention of the voters to "Billie Hoble" committeeman of the Seventeenth Ward. His ward sure "fell down" when it came to supporting Walthall Moore. Say what you may, but the road to the office of Justice of the Peace, over which a Colored man has to travel is not strewn with roses. A striking example of co-operation was shown recently, when a group of representative Colored men appeared before the Board of Aldermen united in their protest against a certain form of segregation. It is useless to state here that they got re PAGE SIX The St. Louis Argus PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE LOUIS ARGUS PUBLISHING 2841 MARKET ST. ST.

The popular belief that the first impressions people make upon one another largely determine later actions has been very much over emphasized. A careful study of the application cards of any well kept employment purpose has one of the most important questions asked is: "Where did you last work?" If a man is personally being interviewed by the head of a large firm the interviewer is very sure to ascertain where the prospect is now working, and why he left the last place. If his record at the last place is good he is likely to be hired. If his last record is bad, regardless of previous records, his chances of being hired are considerably lessened. Your last impressions can either The business world is often described as "hard headed," "cold," "iron fisted," and the like. But it soon forgets a man's past. What it wants to know is: "What impression are you now making?" If good, can you and will you keep it up? Many men build a promising pathway to success and then let some little bright their future aspiration. On every hand are people who have made inviable records over a period of one two, three, or more years, then it happens that one mishap proves their undying. Their one failure becomes their last impression. They stumble. And finally they sank into the crowd of "never-wills." The world is not so much concerned about what a man's future impressions will be. It largely assesses the value of a man upon the basis of his last impressions. A next "trust" may help a man to grasp that a man takes continuous piling up of favorable last impressions to hold a job. First impressions soon pass away! last impressions endure. Many people are quick to quit their jobs when slight misunderstandings and confusion arise demand their pay, and "bawl out" their employers. How foolish? Whatever may be your job regardless of the difficulties leave it so you can return to it. Do your work a little better each day! Make your last impressions the best. Rep. Moore Expresses His Appreciation And Regrets So general has been the expressions of regret on the part of many of my colored and white friends, for the political defeat I experienced at the recent election or rather that the race suffered through loss of representation in the States' law making body, that I feel impelled out of respect for my appreciation of the manifest interest and concern evidenced by the many expressions of deep regret, to the generous support given to the confidence that is so eloquently expressed by the large vote of the people. I think that it is generally understood that any one who serves the people in the capacity of legislator does it at a personal sacrifice. Particularly was this true as to myself. The recent election result viewed from a selfish and monetary point will be of personal benefit to me, but it will be hard to estimate the societal occasion occasioned by it. Stated: Waltshill, *The People: EXPRESSION OF REBELT* Among the many expressions of regret received by Mr. Moore, he seems to cherish, most highly, a letter from his friend, Attorney General Jesse W. Barrett, who saw Mr. Moore daily while he was at Jefferson City. I regretted the news that you were not registed to the legislature. The people, do not always choose with wisdom and justice. You deserved rejection, for your every move while in the legislature was for the good of the State. You had a most difficult path to follow. Newspaper correspondents seeking to make partisan capital would have been, very pikilc to write unfriendly articles if you had made any mistakes or alips. You worked earnestly and with real effort for the good of your race and did it all such tact and good judgment that not only the word was said about you. My judgment is that you did more for your people than any other man could have done. I hope you will continue your usefulness and helpfulness and I wish you the greatest personal success and happiness. Langston Harrison Is Grateful To Voters For Electing Him Constable Langton Harrison, one of the successful colored candidates who led in the race for *Constable* in the Fourth District on the Republican ballot, in the recent election, told an Argus reporter that he had 'never felt so grateful' to the poor as since his election. He 'especially appreciated to the voters of the Fourth Constabulary district who bought him the victory.' THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1922 The Negroes' three hundred year long slumber seems about over. We are beginning to rub our eyes and stretch St. Louis has heard the voice of progress. The People's Finance Company is one sign, the Douglases Life Insurance Company another. No company has ever met with more instantaneous respuse from the pibble than the People's Finance. The Douglases, although working against some serious handicaps and fighting a hard up bill, fight is also on the Jump. Big things will probably come to us at St. Louis, these two companies. All Together. We don't have to prove our capabilities as workingmen and subordinates, but we have a long way to go before we have proven our ability to measure up to American standards of business conditions and responsibility. Jews long ago recognized the financial opportunity of the Negroes' class division. More Jewish fortunes have begun amongst Negroes than any other class of American citizenry. It's about time our own men began reeling immigrants of the responsibility of supplying our race with necessities. The Disabled Vets. A big mess of crocodile tears have been shed over the plight of the Disabled Veterans of the World War. She men and he women have melded with the work of the Veterans Bureau until already difficult task has been made more difficult. Teaching the physical and mental stresses of war is one of the biggest jobs ever undertaken by government. Thousands of men were dislabeled and other thousands have claimed to be disabled. Teaching children new tasks has pizzied educators since the dawn of civilization; training uniformed minds is a far less difficult task than training the minds of men. Added to the natural difficulty of training men though, the Veterans's Bureau has been working in better terms of choosing and advising the best training for the different types of men they have to deal with. With the Colored trainee the Bureau's task is even greater. Conditions over which neither the trainee nor the Bureau have no control have narrowed the possible remunerative vacations for Colored ex-soldiers. Other conditions in the South have left the average prospective trainee of our race without any foundation upon which propping could be built. Festis Wade. The Klan has developed another powerful enemy. The President of the Merchantile Trust Company, has the sort of power that counts in America—money. As we said of the Catolicic Church some time ago, it is probable that Mr. Wade has given but little thought to the fact that the K. K. K., is opposed to Colored Americans' progress. Klan's greatest strength lies in the fact that it opposed to various racial and religious groups most all of whom are opposed to it. So far as the Colored American group is concerned it is just possible that any of the other groups of citizens care very little what the Klan does. We must fight our own battles.

F., for many years an honored resident of St. Louis, and a member of St. Paul Church is soon to return to this city and take charge of the work of the American Woodmen here. For the past year Mr. Blue has been filling the capacity of Musical Director of the American Woodmen. He has organized one concert per year and helped to put them over. In many ways he has been instrumental in building up the finer parts of the Order. It is felt that St. Louis will very likely be the headquarters of The American Woodson and for that reason the management is very anxious to have a large representative membership there. They believe no one could be selected to put it over better than Mr. William Blue. We are sure that all the members will give him their hearty and closest support. Kiddies Korner By Ophelia B. Hamilton Kiddies Korner By Ophelia B. Hamilton BABY LEAF Chapter I Little Baby Leaf was the last to langer with her Mother Tree and the happy mother was glad to have her baby near. She laughed and sang, she clapped her little hands as leaves sometime do, but along came Naughty Wind. He cried, "Ooooo" and Baby Leaf was almost snatched from Mother Tree's arms. Now Baby Leaf began to fret and sigh for she knew that if Naughty Wind would blow like that again she would soon be blown away to the far off hand Slumber and she did not want to go, for all the other leaves that went away never came back any more. So she said to their mother, "ah me Naughty Wind will blow me away if he blows like he did..." But before she could finish what she was about to say, along came Naughty Wind again, "Ooooo, Ooooo" He said. Door Baby Leaf what was, she to do? She ching to her Mother Tree with, all her might and after Naughty Wind had gone down the road she opened her eyes and closed her mouth. For that is the way Naughty Wind had left her. She was almost afraid to try to go in. But in a low whisper she felt the wind. "Tree. Mother why is Naughty Wind would?" The good mother answered. "He is not rough my dear. Every one has his task to perform. He's only doing the work his father gave him to do." "See these beautiful clouds calling wonder?" Baby Leaf looked up with her eyes full of tears. "Now," replied the mother. "He has gone to the cloud ships around, soon he will be back again. He is as busy him as he is. He has more work to do than him and I have together. He is the watchman of the Cloud Ships to see that they go the right way. Then he has to watch our world home, if it gets too hot he fan it, and in winter when the snow and ice is in our arms and around our feet, he bounds down from his work minding the Cloud Ships and gives us all such blow for fun that we almost snap in. If they are any little boys and girls walking on the street, he bites their noses and plucks their toes until they almost cry aloud. Then he jumps back to mind the Cloud Ships."

The porters say that on some lines they Jim Crow Colored passengers right out of St. Lolls, on trains going south. In some of the towns in the lower part of Missouri, they have separate waiting rooms at the railway station for colored passengers—without any warrant from state law. In no such place is a colored person expected to buy a seat or birth in a Pullman car. But the worst condition of all is right in St. Lolls, the great city of the upper Mississippi Valley. When a Negro goes to the window to buy a Pullman ticket, on the Missouri Pacific to Jefferson City, over the Burlington even toward Quincy, he is told by the ticket agent: "You will have to go and get an order from the passenger agent for a Pullman ticket." If the colored person asks why, he hears: "Well, we have orders not to sell Pullman to any colored people, unless the passenger agent O. K. it." When the Negro goes to passenger agent, that offer may be "out," and may return just before train leaves, with the news: "The diagram is out to the train now, too late to get a seat." If the Negro knows the law, he will, of course, go out to the train and go no Pullman and take any vowent seat, which has been placed though the列车 will ask you if you have a Pullman ticket" in a voice and manner to impress you that you cannot ride unless you have. They know that all this trouble will keep nine-tenths of the Colored people who want Pullman accommodations from getting births and seats. They calculate, and rightly, that the average colored person can be worried, insulted and humiliated out of the determination to ride in comfort. They expect to get rid of the average Negro when they tell him to go and see the "passenger agent," and they do get rid of him. Against the more persistent they will then employ further subterfuge: the "passenger agent" will dodge and lie and as a last resort the Pullman conductor will try "bull" and bluff. IF THEY GET AWAY WITH TH$ FOR A FEW SEASONS, next they will simply turn down the Negro flat without sending him even to the passenger agent. The time to defeat this devilment was the day when it began, but NOW is always the best time left. And the people to do it are the Negroes of St. Louis. They should make an organized assault on this discrimination. They must not see the ticket agent and the little mock passenger agent at the station, after they establish a good case, but the very heads of the railroads in St. Louis, and the railway commission of the state. And they should carry their fight so far as to influence the colored traveler not to disillusioninate roads except when very necessary for colored person, but to use competing lines when possible. If the discriminating roads get away with it, the others will follow in shameful self-defense. Ed.

See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper The St. Louis Argus Lloyd Answers S. W. Green On Pythian Temple Tax Letter To Kansas City Sun, The Grand Chancellor Of Missouri, K. Of P.'s Cites Facts And Figures To Show Justification In Refusing To Pay Temple Tax While Nothing Is Being Done In Good Faith On Part Of Supreme Lodge Officers. Looks Like A Fight To The Finish. To the Editor of the Kansas City Sun. Kansas City; Missouri. Dear Sir: Under the date of October 23rd, 1922, a circular letter issued by S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, addressed to you, was mailed to me in a plain envelope. This letter is meant to be an attack, or reply to the article published in your issue of October 14, 1922, relative to the Pythian situation in Missouri. This same letter has been circulated over the state of Missouri, in the same surreptious manner as the one mailed to me, with a view, I presume, of stirring up internal strife. Missouri is highly pleased at the opportunity afforded it by the act of the Supreme Chancellor, who has discovered that he has a decent regard for the opinions of the loyal Knights of Pythias of the Jurisdiction of Missouri. This "decent regard" which now moves Sir Green to set aside the "rules of his office" and fly to the newspapers in a vain effort to discredit the facts with regard to the contention of Missouri, was not strong enough to move him to give Missouri the N. A. P. W. for which she had paid more than twelve hundred dollars; it was not strong enough to move him to give the representatives a fair opportunity to be heard upon the floor of the Supreme Lodge session in Topeka, Kansas; it was not strong enough to move him to present the whole question to the Supreme Lodge. The loyal Knights of Pythias of the jurisdiction of Missouri are not deceived by this sudden high regard (?) for their opinions, not only by his recent hostile attitude toward their interests but by his persistent disregard of their opinions as expressed by their vote in their Grand Lodge in regular session assembled, three years in succession. In the third paragraph of his letter, Sir Green says: "It is true the Supreme Lodge paid the expenses for the injunction to allow the representatives of Missouri to be seated at the Supreme Lodge session at Topeka, Kansas, 1921, which amounted to the sum of $30.00, and I am also reliably informed that the Grand Lodge of Missouri paid attorney fees to the amount of Five hundred ($500.00) dollars for securing the injunction." ***** The above paragraph is so childish, that it reminds me of the story of the two boys who had both been spanked by their respective mothers for going in swimming, and when they met next day at school, one had said to the other, "you got a good kicking yesterday!" when the other had replied, "yes, and did you, and you got a worse one than me!" Brother Green loses sight of the principle of right and justice to Missouri, and glories in the fact that he forced Missouri to pay out $500.00 to secure her right of admission, while the Supreme Lodge only paid $30.00 as a penalty for being in the wrong. However, it is significant to any thinking man, that Missouri paid only her attorney fees, while the Supreme Lodge paid court costs. This is a fair example of the kind of brotherly love to expect from Sir Green. Not content with having denied Missouri representation, he ghosts over the fact, that by his unfair ruling Missouri was forced to appeal to the civil courts for justice and expuse of $500.00. The Supreme Lodge was ordered by the District Court of Topeka, Kansas, to admit the representatives of Missouri forthwith, which was done, and the Supreme Lodge was given until Friday to come into court and show cause, if any it had, why the injunction should not be made permanent. The Supreme Attorney well knew that he could not show good cause to the satisfaction of a court of justice, and he therefore shrewd enough to seek a compromise by having the Supreme Lodge pay the court costs, and inducing the representatives and Grand Chancellor of Missouri to agree to stipulations upon which the suit was dismissed, they believing that this was done in good faith. The ruling of Sir Green after the Missouri delegation was admitted under the order of court, was on a per with his former hostile attitude, and although he was in contempt of Court, the representatives from Missouri were too disgusted to make further complaint at that time. In the 4th paragraph of the letter of Sir Green he says: "The proposition submitted by Grand Chancellor Lloyd to place in scrowm the Pythian Temple-Sapientian Tax for the Grand Lodge of Missouri, that was collected by authority of the Suffice Lodge and held as a Trust fund for the years 1919-1920, could not be placed in scrowm except by authority of the Supreme Lodge K of P. N. A. ater. Sir Green has authily made another discovery, most startling of all, and that that the Pythian Temple Tax (so-called) is a "TRUST FUND". This indeed encourages scrowm Missouri tax. ALWAYS contended that these funds were all Trust Funds, and must be used for any purpose other than that for which they were collected. Now since Sir Green confesses that this is a TRUST FUND, why not have a "decent regard for the opinion of" ALL Pythians, and explain where the thousands of dollars collected on certificates and as taxes have gone, since the Temple has not been built, and the Pythian Temple-Sapientian "Trust Fund" is compulsive by its very small balance, Sir Green well knows that it is just as much a violation of law, right and justice to use the Pythian Temple funds for general purposes, as it would be to use the Endowment funds for general purposes, both being collected for a specific purpose, cannot lawfully be used for any other purpose. Now, as to his statement that, the money collected for this "Trust Fund" by Missouri, could not be placed in scrowm except by authority of the Supreme Lodge, I need only state, that the proposition was drawn up in writing and directed to the SU PREME LODGE, and not to S. W. Green as an individual, but he refused to present it to the Supreme Lodge, and the SUPREME LODGE has never said whether it would or would not accept the proposition, at least officially. Yes, as Sir Green says, I was present when the Supreme Lodge authorized the issue of bonds for improving the "Sanitarium," to the amount of One hundred thousand dollars, and I held them, as I hold now, that the Supreme Lodge was lead outside the scope and power of its charter in so doing, but I cannot at this time discuss that feature of the case. I deem it sufficient to say, that the work of establishing and maintaining a Temple and Sanitarium had been carried out in good faith as intended and, planned by the original Commission, of which I had the honor of being a member, the fund would have been held sacred for this purpose, and the work kept within its financial limits. Sir Green says, "Up to the present we have spent on the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium one hundred and eighty-six ($180,000.00) thousand dollars. $180,000.00 for improving the Bath House, which cost only about $220,000.00, and it cannot be denied that the Bath House was ample to accommodate all the members of the Order who were able to pay railroad fare to Hot Springs and half rates for baths. If the improvements are for the accommodation of the general public, then the institution ceases to be for the benefit of the members of the Order who have been taxed for it, and once more, we step outside the rights of our charter. Sir Green says, That the records of the Supreme Lodge shows that the Grand Lodge of Missouri has paid Pythian Temple-Sanitarium taxes to the Supreme Lodge as follows: ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1922 SPRINGFIELD, O., NEGROES RESENT SEGREGATION Grand Court that has received ONE CENT on their INVESTMENTS. No need of paucing for reply, there "is no such animal." Now, Mr. Editor, here is the weakest alibi of all those given by Sir Green. "He (Lloyd) did not tell you that while we were collecting funds for the erection of the Pythian Temple at Chicago, Illinois, the white Pythians of Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Pennsylvania filed suits against our Order to stop us from using the name and emblem of the Knights of Pythias, and we were forced to use a LARGE SUM OF THE PYTHIAN TEMPLE SANITARIUM TAXES, to fight for the life of our Order, etc. Crusader Service. Springfield, O. Nov. 15. Resenting the action of 10th Bd. of Education instituting segregation in the public schools here, a large crowd of colored people attacked policemen stationed to guard teachers and pupils. Bulletin School set a siege. Board of Education an IJm Crow School for Negroes only. All Negro pupils in the city were to be sent to the school under the order. Now, Mr. Editor, a "decent regard for the opinions" of all members of the Order should have "required" Sir Green to give the FIGURES SHOWING THE AMOUNT SPENT IN DEFENDING LAW SUITS IN WHICH PYTHIAN TEMPLE SANITARIUM TAXES WERE USED, as he handled the money, and then after giving those figures, let one of his 10th grade school boys show us what became of the DEFENSE FUND TAXES, and the EMERENGY FUND TAXES WHICH WERE assessed for the specific purpose of fighting those suits. Missouri paid the following amounts into the Defense Fund, and Emergency Fund, checks for which were endorsed by S. W. Green; Emergency Fund: Defense Fund: June 17, 1910. $100.00 Feb. 19, 1912. $ 408.15 Mar. 23, 1911. 174.00 Apr. 22, 1913. 411.50 July 21, 1911. 183.50 Aug. 26, 1913. 440.00 Aug. 24, 1911. 190.35 Total. $1,295.65 Total. $656.85 Emergency Fund. $656.85 Defense Fund. 1265.65 Sub-Grand Total. $1922.50 Pythian Temple Tax paid by Missouri. 3230.00 Grand Total. $5152.50 The colored residents resented this attempt to Jim Crow Negro children and threats were made against teachers and parents who permitted their children to attend the school. More than 100 students attended the school yesterday and began tainting the guards and teachers. Trouble grew until stones were thrown and several windows of the building shattered, and the reserves had to be called to drive off the crowd of indignant citizens. City has been the scene of several serious riots in past years, the last being in 1920, and fears are felt that unless the Board of Education rescinds its Jim crow order there will be a repetition of the tumultuous days of 1920, as the colored citizens of Springfield determine the fate of the order in which the action of the board hurts at them. What Sir Green is trying to do, is to resort to the cheap political trick of "throwing dust in the eyes" of importing Pythians, by confusing the main issue with material matters outside of the record. I have never received one penny from the Supreme Lodge that was not honestly due me, just as other men received for like services, which has absolutely nothing to do with the money paid into the Pythian Temple-Sanitarium fund by the Grand Lodge of Missouri, amounting to $3,230.00, upon which Missouri has never received one penny in interest, and if I, as an individual had received $5,000.00 from the Supreme Lodge for services rendered, it would not relieve the Supreme Lodge of its obligations to keep faith with the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Protest mass meetings are being planned and resentment is running high. No. Sir Greco, the Grand Lodge of Missouri never paid one dollar toward my per diem and expenses in my trip as an offer to him, but contributions to the contrary were paid by the Grand Lodge of Missouri will be me out. THROWS WOMAN OUT OF FOURTH FLOOR WNDOW Now, Mr. Editor, I have shown in figures that cannot be disputed, that Missouri has paid for the years given, more than $5,000.00 Pyllanthe Temple and other taxes, but those figures do not include the amount paid in REFRESENTATIVE taxes of ten cents per member, which for the past two years amounted to more than $1,300.00, for which we hold receipts from Sir Underwood. Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal. This amount is not included in the figures. This Lodge for the years given, $6,452.50, and I defy Sir Green or any one else to disregard it, because we hold official receipts for every penny of it. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 15—Mrs. Steina Johnson, 29, colored, 4312 Langley Avenue, sustained a fractured skull and broken legs, and is believed to be in a critical condition of the South Side Hospital, a result of being injured at a fourth door window last Sunday noon. Thaddeus Johnson, her husband is being held for having thrown her out of the window. Mrs. Johnson was moving her furniture from the apartment, following trouble with her husband, when a new quarrel started. Now, Mr. Editor, the LOYAL Pythianis of Missouri and other states are becoming weary of unending taxes and no benefits, and, personally, I am beginning to wonder if the Supreme Lodge taxes are not becoming like the famous brook of which the author said: "men may come, and men may go, but I flow on forever." Now, Mr. Editor, Sir Green says in the last paragraph of his letter to you: "The amount paid him (Lloyd) for attending the sessions of the Suprime Lodge alone is more than 10% of the total taxes paid by the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and yet Sir Lloyd asks the question 'why the $3,100.00 of our hard earned money has not brought one cent income in 17 years, we pause to wonder why?' The argument of Sir Green in the paragraph above quoted, is extremely absurd and bears no relation whatever to the issues raised by Missouri. Sir Green then concludes his remarkable letter by saying, "The above answers (?) are some of the reasons why." Sir Green then what amount the Grand or Supreme Lodge has paid me for my services, it has absolutely nothing to do with the money due from the investment of the Grand Lodge in the Pythian Temple-Sanctarium proposition. ANOTHER OF GARVEY'S ENTERPRISES FAIL Temple-Sanitarium property In proof that the Pythian Temple-Sanitarium was a business venture pure and simple, I give here a verbatim copy of the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT issued for money paid into that TRUST FUND, according to the provisions of the laws creating and governing that department.

The Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. THIS CERTIFIES that Grand Lodge Jurisdiction of Missouri under the Jurisdiction of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, has deposited with the Temple Sanitarium Commission of the Knights of Pythias aforesaid, the sum of Six Hundred and Forty Dollars, being equivalent to 64 Certificate payments to the two members of the non-transferable Knights of Pythias aforesaid, regulating and controlling the same.

I give the following verbatim copy of Article XIV, of the P. T. S., laws, as adopted by the Supreme Lodge in Pittsburgh, Pa., 100th page 152 of the official proceedings. ARTICLE XIV. The two remaining stores, which someone has characterised as "holes in the wall to catch the unwary", are, to judge from their vacant shelves, likely to meet a fate not unlike that of the two stores above referred to. "That all revenue to be derived from INVESTMENTS in this department, after deducting all expenses for the operation of and maintenance of said ENTERRISE shall be pro-rated among the aforementioned Grand and Subordinate Lodges and Grand and Subordinate Courts in proportion to the amount of CERTIFICATES OF STOCK held by them." If the Supreme Lodge did not intend in good faith, to return earnings on the money invested, then the issuance of these certificates constitutes fraud. But no further proof of the intentions of the Supreme Lodge is required than to quote the words of S. W. Starks in his address at Louisville, TN, 1907, followi Minimum Wage Law Invalid At the present rate of advancement and under our method of business the Order of things will soon be transformed, and means of coming up with them will be brought to our hands. We are ready to bring back the dividends due on its holdings. D. C. Supreme Court Strikes Vicious Blow At Workers Workers If the statement of Sir Green is true, that this fund is a TRUST fund, then why did he not hold it, sacred, and prevent its use for any other purpose other than that for which it was collected and paid in, since he is the treasurer, cashier and paymaster? $10,622.50 of which was collected in 1906. Now Mr. Editor, the half has not been told relative to this matter, but I will be greatly pleased and gratified. If I may get the information desired of Sir Green through the pages of your paper, since it seems impossible to secure it from him direct. WASHINGTON, D. C.

It took about one hundred white folks to kill one black bear, excaliated an old-colored man who stood looking on Should the decision of the highest capitalist tribunal sustain the contention that the minimum wage law to protect the workers and especially the laborer population as an encroachment on the most holy and sacred 'rights' of property, it would effect wage laws for women in twelve states and employers in those states would again be absolutely free to engage rigorously and greatest interest in the exploitation of women workers. CHICAGO. IL. Nov. 15. Commenting on Puskin in a recent lecture, Louis K. Anspacher, playwright, author and publicist, said: "Puskin, one of the greatest of Russian dramatists and authors, was part Negro. His grandfather was an Abyssinian slave of Peter the Great. That is one reason for his greatness. Half of his brain was an leberg—Russian; the other half was a simoon—African." Only recently the little protection which the capitalist state vowed to the weak-bodies of young children was withdrawn by the Justice of the Court declared unconstitutional the child labor law. 2635 Market St. St. Louis R.

By John Louis Hill For The Associated Negro Press Chapter X 30th Installment SOME OUTSTANDING EXAMPLES WHEN BLACK MEETS WHITE By John Lewis Hill. Chap. X 31st Installment SOME OUTSTANDING EXAMPLES. Associated Negro Press Indiah T. Montgomery, was born a slave in Mississippi; and belonged to Joseph Davis, Brother of Jefferson Davis. In 1883, Mr. Montgomery founded Mount Bayou, in Mississippi which became probably the most fortified Negro town in the United States. Robert L. Smith, born in Charleston, South Carolina, founded the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas. He was graduated from Atlanta University and for a time edited a paper in the journal Wright & Texas and served in the Texas legislature. "The members of the Farmers' Improvement Association, which he organized, now own over 75,000 acres of land, worth over $1,000,000. This Society has an Agricultural College and a farm school. It organized a bank at Waco, Texas. The Society also operates an overall factory at Waco. Under its auspices, Farmers' Institutes and Fairs are held. It will be noted that the above mentioned successful business mer were born and remained in the South during the working examples of an national ability, far above the average of any race. In the North, there are, of course proportionately more successful Negro business men because the colore population is smaller and the general average of ability higher than in the South. This higher average of ability is due to the fact that a certain amount of initiative is necessary to cause people, particularly Negroes long accustomed to the climate and general conditions of one section, to go to another section as did the colored people to the South when they migrated to the North. They not only believed great success in the North, but also in their ability to take advantage of that opportunity. To mention the names and fame of the large number of Negroes in bushes and professional life in the North is quite impossible. In Chicago alone there are more than 100 lawyers, business executives, teachers physicians, bankers, editors, preachers and other professional men whose influence and ability would do credit to any race, anywhere, anytime. This is proportionately true of the Negro businessmen and writers such as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, etc. With no intention of slighting other in Chicago, equally eminent and worthy, it is fitting to mention here the name of William Randolph Cowin. Because of the moist gracious reception, cordial treatment and very marked assistance extended the writer by him. Because he is eminently worthy of all the respect and by whose friendship and esteem anyone is honored, this book has been dedicated to him. He was born in Danville, Ky., and came to Chicago over forty years ago while yet a young man. From the beginning, success crowned his endeavor. In real estate and other business interests he has accumulated a comfortable fortune. For years he has been sole manager of an estate owned by white people, worth several millions of dollars. For business ability, integrity, integrity no name is better. He not only is well cared for, Out of a gracious heart he put much into life and consequently get much out of life. He believes in the possibilities of his race and one of his chief pleasures is to aid others who are worthy to achieve as he has done Physically massive, perfectly dressed, commanding in personality, cultivated, gracious, charming but withal becoming modest. William Randolph Cowan is a main prospect and honorary member of the Society.

CURRENT AND OTHERWISE By, W. H. A. Moore Associated Negro Press It has become a real probability that the first Eastern Hemisphere discoverers of the Western Hemisphere were Negroes. Earlier rather than first is that they may have been in which to put forward the above statement. Earlier than the Italian discoveries and more impressive if not earlier than the somewhat mythical excursions of the Vikings to Iceland, Greenland and the frozen prospects of Labrador and the contiguous mainland. Dr. Lee Wiener, professor of Slavic Languages and Literature at Harvard University, declares that these Negro adventurers influenced American civilization to a greater degree than has hitherto been suspected. It was they who introduced certain edible plants, cotton, tobacco, shell money, and the religious beliefs and the various weave call fetchich. These are the inventors of Dr. Jefferson's second volume, *African and the Discovery of America*. My attention was called to this second volume by a friend attached to the faculty staff of one of the local universities with whom I had read the first volume some two years since. I fancy that it is immediately possible that Dr. Woodson and his very capable staff will finally give us the discussion and the results of their studies in the directions in which Slavic has broken what looks like a boundary for us. Hence I feel I may be ground for an advert to a few tendencies which appear to be leading us away from what might be called the male mode of THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1922 our course through the labyrinthal maze of bays meeting us every where in the polyglyphic exasperations of Western Hemisphere civilization. There is the Premiership of the race. Why wouldn't it be a good idea to organize a "battle royal" of our mith-provoking intellectual giants and then stand aside and let them fight it out to a finish—in the hope that there wouldn't be one of them left to tell the story of the battle—and when the sobs had been hushed and the blood wiped from the floor of the arena set up a coronation scene for the winner that would make the recent motion exercises of the Roumanian Perlman. What a country fair on a rainy day! thing was over we could fix his salary to a good, round sum and turn him loose to go whither he would. Fix his salary! That is the big item. After that is done let him whither wheresoever his little mind prompted him to whither. That being out of our way we could settle down and for our kind something of the same quality as the work of Dr. Wrieer's in his really remarkable effort to set up a genuine measure of the influence the Negro has exerted on the "American" civilization. These "Main Guys" and "Main Streets" with their movements." "centers" "languages," and not tickets ought to be given a one way ticket to Nowhere, dot wot 'em. Force is the embodiment of the big thought in modern civilization. This thought, however, has always been the unmistakable sign of the beginning of the end of all the dominant historical threat in the method is to set out a velled threat—that is, to attack and almost tender in its primal capacity, and quickly followed with a spectacular showing of the visible potentialities of power that have calculated to put the desired "punch" into the prospective "licking" in store for whomever falls to take reasonable heed of the warning. The late lamented Roosevelt tried his practiced hand on the Japanese and sent a powerful fleet of war vessels to visit the Japanese. It was common talk, at the time, that the peeky "Jape" would sit up and take the notice of the great power of the United States. That is exactly what they did. When the American fleet entered the Bay of Tokyo they were met and saluted by a fleet of Japanese war vessels which matched in tonnage and fighting ability the armada of the visitors. It was a case of threat meeting threat as well as an instance of what standing-on-one's own feet will do for a fellow who feels he has a just claim on the right to make his way in the world. England is just now busy threatening the Turk. The Chicago Tribune recently, published highly velled threat of extermination for vergroes because a Senegalese flag hand by force, presumably, painted behind him, bared arms of members of the Paris Demi-monde. The American Democracy is probably the last stand of an already decadent civilization. It possesses some elements of character, it has shown a few signs of a possession of the genius of government. But most of the indications what is in store for it in the future point downward. Power is of no avail to an individual or to a nation unless there is the will and the knowledge of when and how to use it. Herein lies a fine object lesson for Negroes. Seek your rights with all the strength at your command. First, however, learn how to use them should they become into your possession. Duttes, rights power in the order I have named them as the seventh self-appointed "Leader" of the race. I thirsty have spoken. Finds Husband Is Negro And Sues For Divorce Finds Husband Is Negro And Sues For Divorce Associated Negro, Press. Eikton, Md., Nov. 15.—State's Attorney Henry A. Warburton, of Eikton, as counsel for Mrs. Irene Peters of Washington, D. C., has filed suit here for an annulment of her marriage to Paul Peters. The bill states that the defendant was indicted by the court for the law by unlawfully marrying the plaintiff, a white person, and charging that the defendant is a person of Negro descent to the third generation, inclusive. The plaintiff declares that she had known the defendant for about five years and that she had ways led to believe that he was of Indian descent. Mrs. Petera further states in her bill that as soon as she discovered that her husband was of Negro descent she left him.

Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 17 JESUS AMONG FRIENDS AND FOES LESSON TEXT-Luke 10:38-41; 11:14-54 GOLDEN TEXT-Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you John 11:14 JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Among Friends and Foes. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Friends and Enemies of Jesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Christ's Methods of Dealing With People. 1. Jesus in the Home of Friends (Luke 10:38-42). There is no place where true character is so clearly revealed as at home. 1. His Reception (v. 88). Martha was the head of the home, therefore she received him. It would be a fine thing if all homes were open to receive Jesus. 2. Mary Sitting at Jesus' Feet (v. 89). She, of fine spiritual discernment, knew that sitting at the Lord's feet and hearing His Word was that which would please him most. 3. Martha Cumbered About Much Serving (v. 40). Both sisters loved the Lord. It would be impossible to say which loved the more; but Martha was bent on providing a fine meal for Him. She was trying to do so many things that she was on the verge of distraction. This had so completely got on her nerves that she found fault with Jesus for permitting Mary to leave the kitchen to listen to His teaching. Not only did she criticise her sister and Jesus, but she assumed the authority to command Him to send Mary back to the kitchen to help. 4. Jesus' Answer (vv. 41, 42. (1) Rebuked Martha (v. 41). He did this tenderly, for He knew that she loved Him sincerely. (2) Defends Mary (v. 42). He declared that but one thing was needful, and that Mary had chosen that good part which could not be taken away from her. 11. Jesus Among Foes (11:14-23; 29-32; 37-54). 1. Charged With Being in League With the Devil (vv. 14-23). Being unwilling to receive Him as the Son of God, and yet unable to account for His mighty works, they declared He was casting out demons through Beelzebub, the chief of demons. Jesus exposed the fallacy of their reasoning by showing that in that case Satan would be arrayed against himself, and therefore would destroy his own kingdom. 2. Refused to Believe His Miracles (vv. 20-32). They asked for a sign, to which He replied that they would have a sign from heaven in His death and resurrection. He reminded them, however, that their request showed unbelief surpassing that of the heathen queen of the South, and the wicked people of Nineveh. 3. Wickedness Denounced (vv. 37-54). He pronounced six woes upon those who were opposing Him and seeking His destruction. (1) The Pharisees (vv. 37-41). These He denounced for (a) punctuously observing some minute rites and at the same time breaking the Ten Commandments. They carefully tithed the small herbs of the garden while practicing injustice to their fellowmen and withholding love from God. He pointed out to them the folly of attending to these external acts while the heart was filled with wickedness. (b) Desiring public recognition (v. 43). This is a common sin today. (c) For feigning humility (v. 44). He compares their hypocrisy to graves which are on a level with the ground and may be stepped upon unconsciously by someone, and thus defiled. We can avoid those who make their vanity known by beating, but some are filled with this same wickedness who do not thus make it known. (2) The Lawyers (vv. 45-54). Jesus strictures on the hypocritical Pharisees aroused the lawyers, one of whom indignantly declared: "You are insulting us also." In replying to this Christ pronounced three woes upon them; (a) for placing burdensome requirements upon the people to which they themselves would not sumbit (v. 46). (b) For the murder of God's prophets (vv. 47-51). He showed that their attitude toward Him was the same that* was shown to the prophets by their fathers. (c) For keeping back the knowledge of God by false interpretation of the Scriptures (vv. 52-54). There is no wickedness perhaps so great as that of supposed teachers of God's Word who keep its precious truths from the people by perverting its meaning. Book Ye. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you—Matthew 6:33.

White woman sells Negroes "medicine" to cure all fills of all sorts, and succeeds—for the Negroes die. One died in Chickasha and others are sick there, and four are reported dead in Ardmore. A colored doctor, W. A. Bullock, in Chickasha, who happens to be president of the local N. A. A. C. P., was called by one of the dying victims and caused the arrest of the woman and also of the colored preacher who brought her to town and recommended her "highly" to his innocent congregation. He carried samples of the medicine to the prosecuting attorney, and it is being analyzed in a college laboratory. It is reported, however, that the white woman always "gave the first dose" to buyers, and that she put some brown powder in the glass before pouring in the liquid, and that it is this "first dose" that kills when 'it does not cure. Just think how ignorant we are, when we "fall" for such miserable quackery. This woman was not selling any of this almighty medicine to any of her own race—only to Negroes. It costs one dollar a bottle, and three bottles must be had to do any good—all service cash. The woman had about $500 on her when the officers arrested her, showing what a profitable business it is to fool colored people, even when you offer them DEATH—or a "home in Africa" or on the moon. And think of that Negro preacher! He brought in this white woman, who is from Waco, Texas, where he formerly "pastored," and he recommended her to his flock. He was fattered by the fact that he had ridden "all the way from Ardmore to Chickasha" in this white woman's car (a fool deed under the circumstances), and he bragged to his congregation that he had "learned more" about white folks on that ride" than he ever knew before. (Smile or swear, according to your reaction) And this same Negro preacher, who recommends to his people to pay a friendly "white" woman, who know just how to use him, $3.00 for bottles of death, would not allow a mass meeting of colored people to be held in his church to fight lynching and distranchisement, and discourages them from paying $1.00 a year for that purpose. So far as we have earned to this minute (and we are writing in Oklahoma City after a personal visit to Chickasaw), this woman has produced no patent on her "medicine," no license to sell it—and only God knows what the stuff is. Yet the colored people bought it, under the recommendation of their pastor—who liked the nice lady, who rode in her medicine car, all the way from one Southern town to the other, and taught him a lot of otherwise unknowable things about "white folks." This woman is now in the hands of the law. We will see what they do. She only sold her remedy to Negroes. She killed only Negroes. May God send the colored people a better, or at least a wiser "pastor." Associated Negro Press. "There is no doubt but that the French have treated their African Negroes more wisely since 1871 than we English have treated ours"—Sir Harry Johnston in THE OBSERVER. Army, of course; they may and do marry whites; they are taught the French language and become citizens. And—if anyone has his doubts as to the wisdom of all this, it is for whom to speak? For the English." And he quotes Sir Harry. Johnston's statement, given at the head of this article. Now Sir Harry is an exceptional man. He is novelist, linguist, explorer, administrator. He has written grammars of a number of African languages. Thoroughly British, he is hardly typically British in his attitude on this question. He is exceptionally liberal, and he loves Africa. Read his novels; for example, "The Man Who Did the Right Thing." Editors and politicians in England have been giving the French, almost daily, high-pitched warnings about the folly of their African policy. Still these warnings, are perhaps merely additional evidence that the British consider the French policy wise—for the French. For Britain and France are off and on for nearly four centuries; again colonial rivals, as they have been of and on for nearly four centuries; and when the average Englishman criticises French colonial policy he is worried not because that policy may not be successful, but because it may be too successful. Sir Harry is of course an exception; a patriotic Briton; he is not blinded or embittered by his patriotism. Mr. Porterfield finds it significant that the first widely accepted Negro novel should have been written by a Frenchman. France, he reminds us has a high culture of her own, a culture that has excelled for centuries; it was not her literary poverty that moved her judges to give the Government award to a black man's novel. He does not say that the judges did this as a matter of policy, does not hint that the novel did not deserve the prize, but, he believes, if I understand him, that it is extremely fortunate for France and for black Frenchmen that "Batouala" appeared and was graciously recognized at this time; it is in this connection that he asks what the position of the American Negroes would be today if one of their number had written "Uncle Tom's Cabin." I am not going to try to answer his question, but I am going to point to one fact that I think is apparent to every one—that there would have been much respect among white Americans for Colored people than there is, and a better understanding. Now France faces her Negro problem without the handicap of a national acceptance of black slavery. She hasn't the caste feeling, the natural resentment of a master deprived of what, he considered his property, and she will not find it necessary to build up an elaborate theory of Negro inferiority to justify an inherited tendency to oppress, nor has she the British caste idea. Frenchmen are as proud and stiffnecked as the British, but their stiffnecked as the British. The Britton has maintained his empire by heightness and exclusiveness, by surrounding himself with ceremony and reserve; his is an empire of nobilishness. Indian princes he can must come to him as subjects of his king. As for humbler nations, he does not perhaps just as excessive, does not result in so muchocuspocus; it is to a greater extent, a pride in intellectual superiority. The Frenchman, alert and gay, welcomes strange contacts. While the Britton, wandering over the earth, takes a closed brain that is always British, the Frenchman, staying generally at home, becomes cosmopolitan by the activity of his mind. France has always welcomed new ideas and incorporated them into its own spirit-life, and ideas come of free and equal converse, not from the stiff stereotyped master and servant intercourse. What an Austrian, whose name I have forgotten said of France and Germany before the war: "Germany wishes to conquer the world. France wishes to convince it," might be said now, with reservations, of Britain and France. It is this difference of temperament and natural aspirations, rather than any artificial and temporary political difference. I believe, that leads France to encourage Colored literature and Britain to ignore it, and I share Mr. Potterfield's beliefs that it is imaginative literature as much as anything else that makes nations prosper, and that the writing and the recognition of "Batouala" are of incalculable importance to France, the black race, and the world. A SHARP QUESTION. By Charles Cain. Associated Negro Press. "Where would the American Negro be today if one of his number had written 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'?" —Allen Wilson orterfield in THE BOOKMAN for Oblivion. There are two articles of race interest in the October issue of THE BOOKMAN, one by the gifted colored historian, Benjamin Brawley, the other by Allen Wilson Porterfield, on "Batona." Mr. Brawley's article was written by request, a sun exposition of colored views; in consequence, the author intelligent, forceful, honest, pleasing writer though he-is, handicapped, and does not do justice to himself, to THE BOOKMAN. THE BOOKMAN's readers, or his own race. The editors, I believe, make matters worse by putting in an introductory note; it is a if they had invited Mr. Brawley to speak at a social gathering, and held him outside a moment, while they explained that the gentleman about to speak was a colored gentleman, for whose strong statements they assumed no responsibility, but whose speech would be interesting as an illustration of the Negra's way of looking at things. What can Mr. Brawley do? There is a certain stiffness, part condescension, part hostility, in the audiences. Shall he bore these people with harmless plaintitudes about color progress or race equality as a theory, or shall he offend them with bitter accretion? He chooses accretion and preserves his self-respect. There is a third way, of course—that of self-revolution. Interpretation—the grand way; but there is no time. But that he would have to stop in the middle, leaving everyone with the most unpleasant of all feelings, the sense of having been ill, illuminated with strengths. He people himself as well as circumstances persons of finding the prejudices bearing the in-form and having them go on to make them worse. Lower Winter Fares to Many Winter Places! Among them: San Antonjo - Houston - Galveston in a Winterland of Romantic Atmosphere and Delightful Climate Sunshine Special TO TEXAS MISSOURI PACIFIC Ask the Agent ed. They, too, were placed in a false position, by the complicated pressure of sickening prejudices and tradition which, even if they are themselves free from them, they must expect in many of their readers. Now turn to Mr. Porterfield's article on "BATOUALA." Here the writer is not called upon to state his case in a controversy, to plead, or to enter the lists in a journey. Instead of being obliged to talk about an abstract type known as the Negro and associate in his reader's mind with servitude, inferiority, ignorance, laziness, (and distinguished from another abstract type. The White Man, personification of all that is noble), Mr. Porterfield can talk about a creation: individual alive, intensely interesting, and say: "This is the work of a Negro, M. Rene Maran. Without him this would not be." There is the difference between literature and direct publicity, or argument. Argument may win an outsider: I believe news of rage condition in this country wuld arouse sympathy abroad and that foreign sympathy would arouse shame in-White America. But will argument ever win over an enemy, who, as soon as he hears the first word, smears, laughs or stiffens? Only a living creation, a picture that seems to breath and move, with the breath of life and intelligence of it: Black creator, can startle the white man out of his self-satisfaction and his pleasing inherited notions. Such a picture is "Batonala." But I must reserve further discussion for next week: meanwhile, Mr Porterfield's question keeps repeating itself to me: "Where would the Amercan Negro be today if one of his num ber had writen 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'?"

Saturday, Nov. 4, brought to the fans the biggest upset of the season. Folks had hurled ceased taking over the defeat of the Lincoln University Lions by West Virginia College Institute at Richmond, Va., when they were dismounded to learn that Hampton, beaten by St. Paul's Industrial and the Virginia Normal and Industrial had been whipped into a shrap by Colon Smith late of the Michigan State by Coleman Cayes and company had ran off with a nine to seven score against Lincoln. Surprise was not the name for 8. It threw Lincoln followers up in the air and as a result, word came from Chester, Pa., to the Associated Negro Press that the 8, O. 8, call has been sent out to former captains of the teams to rush at one there in an off-season. The team's sound into shape to stand up against Howard who at this writing has gone through the season without a sting of defeat upon them. Howard is having things their own way. There is no telling what the Wildcats may do in the coming struggle up the "Annual Class" at Washington. D. C. Thanksgiving morning. One thing is assured, how ever, with most of the Wildcats players back with quarterback position being cleverly occupied by that forward passing, demon, that who has the ball back from play by the Howard Faculty, the lime and White sound books like they will repeat their feat of 1921 when Lincoln went down to defend 12 to 0. One can never tell about Lincoln. No one gave them a ghost of a show last year. They won. Won by good hard football. Howard was a big hammilated. They had a fast team, well drilled in all the fundamentals of the game, by Dr. W. W. Merrison former linebacker at Tufus' College Mass. The wet weather handicapped them somewhat, and now they have vowed to get even with Lincoln. Howard has got to stop. Whitjrwil Johnson. To this point they have been drilled indefinitely. Coutts, Derrick, Carter, and in fact the whole Howard eleven will go into the game, with one idea—vengence. Lincoln plays Willforce, while Whitjrwil Johnson against the competitor of Lincoln. The outcome of these two game will be closely watched. Brady Trump, an Athens, Ga., boy leads the Ohio squad. Bastard as captain for the second year. He made the All-American mythical, and last Season. Willforce has one of the best teams in the history of the school, and is coached by Dean Mohr of Evanston IL. The advance site, of the Annual Classic has been heavy. Folks are sending in for tickets from far and near. The west will be well represented as will be most of the New England State. Washington is planning on the gayest Thanksgiving in the history of the city. A record breaking crowd is expected when the refreshed whistle blows on Tarkey day morning. In the far South Atlanta Pivert site will be still clinking over their 21 to 22 win over Traegeries's football man although the Atlanta boys claim they should have won by a 21 to 1 score but allowed the refres to change his decision to keep the Alabama men from walking off the field. Wilberforce comes back home to prepare for their Turkey day annual game with West Virginia College Institute. Folks are going to Zembra from all parts of Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Chicago will send a number of the green and gold Alumni to the scene of struggle. It promises to be a hard fought affair. The bishop will send a message for the victory over Lincoln, but the Force eleven will work their over head game against the Hilliades. Flick has proved to be weak. Talladega and Wiley have good eleven Morris Brown ranks about second in the far south at the present time with Moorehouse topping the list for championship honors this season. HOWARD TRIUMPHS OVER VIRGINIA N. & I. INST 7-6 HOWARD TRIUMPHS OVER VIRGINIA N. & I. INST 7-6 PETERSBURG. Va. Nov. 14.—The Howard University football eleven after a sidelined and hard fought gridron battle, won its game against the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, of Petersburg, Virginia, played at the Petersburg athletic field, Saturday, November 11. by a score of 7 to 6. Battling before two thousand or more spectators composed of Faculty and students of the Institute, residents of Petersburg, and many visitors of Richmond and surrounding places, the Virginians put up the greatest sight of their lives in the effort to overcome the "Blue and White" warriors before whom they went down in defeat. The game was pronounced the most hotly contested that Howard had had to play this season. Howard was required to put forth great efforts to subdue the plucky Virginians. The "Blue and White", however, used straight football throughout the game while the Virginians were compelled to resort to aerial attacks. Score by Periods: Howard 0 0 0 7 0 7 Virginia N. & I.

NASHVILLE, Teun, Nov. 15—Tuskegee failed to stop Fisk in last Saturday's grid battle and was defeated by a score of 44 to 0. The simple forward passes and end runs were too hard for Tuskegee to figure out, and to gain through the Tiskag log Arkansas Baptist College Geo. R. Smith Beats Sumner Downs Shorter 31 To 0 was impossible. At the kick-off Tuskegee received and showed great speed by bringing the ball over half way the field before the first down, but this was her only chance, as Tusk tightened up immediately and after this they hardly could earn a first down. Very sad demons were able to hold Tubby Johnson in his start behind the Fisk line, who was almost entirely responsible for the seven touchdowns and two drop kicks of his klan. During the first quarter Fisk played swiftly, getting two touchdowns and came back in the third and fourth with the same thing, with one in the second. The fans are much pleased with the triumph of Armistice Day and look forward for a duplicate on Thanksgiving Day. According to dope the following results will insure a victory over Morehouse on November 30th. Score by Quarters: Fisk ..... 12 - 0 12 14 - 44 Tuskegee ..... 0 0 0 0 - 0 Referee: Simms Touchdowns: by Fisk, 7; by Tuskegee, 0. First downs: by Fisk, 20; by Tuskegee, 8. Special To The Argus. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Nov. 14. Arkansas Baptist College defeated Shorter College of North Little Rock 31 to 9, last Thursday. The two teams are old rivals and the students were out on masse only to see A. B. C. victuallily piling up 25 points the first half not allowing Shorter a first down. The Shorteres braced in the last half and hold their opponents to teach down. This is the A. B. C.'s third victory of the intermediate Association of brigades, having defeated North New York in the first round. A. B. C. to 9.0. Neither team was able to gass the 30 yard line, therefore A. B. C. gass has not been threatened. Fight Varsity men were host by the Graduation rodeo but Coach Oliver has built around the old men a machine that works with check like movements. The team no doubt has the lightest man in the College football playing Quarter, his name is Hibbler. 15 years old weighing 110 pounds but runs his team like a veteran. The other hoosfield members are Hooker fell back: Williams and R Illus, half books. The later adapt at broken blood running and is a consistent ground gainer. Men on the line who deserve special mention are $_{2}$ Stannard right knot: Capt. Jackson and Barker all State ends. They are all dangerous men on the offensive and defensive Barker does the kicking and most of the passing for his team. His right arm spells defeat to all corners. His running mate Jackson is generally on the receiving end. His longest pass of the season being 24 yards. Penssauga, Fla. Nov. 15—Governor Sidney J. C.

RAZZ By Robert Lee Beiser. Associated Negro Press (Continued from last week.) The residents of Lakeland do not know just where Razz came from. All they knew was that a little fellow was seen skating around on roller skates. He had curly hair and was dark of complexion. Suppose said that it was Razz's girl. He was a celered woman who worked for Miss Saltie Rittenhouse. Then it was mentioned as a curious fact that no one had ever seen the boy walking. Skates were one means of locomotion as a baby, she had no name as far as she knew herself and someone laughingly called her 'Razz' and the name followed her through life. She could become enough interested they asked her what her name was. She scratched her head and studied a bit. "Must have a name," she said. "Everybody has a name. Oh yes. I'm Angela Rittenhouse." Oh what a shock to the good folks of Lakeland. "A boy was a girl, And Razz was becoming a hero among the white children." In fact, as Razz grew up, the children could be considered it an honor to be seen with the boy/girl From that moment, the grower of Lakeland had h a problem on their hands. How to get rid of Razz. Ragz was considered a wonder on the back of a horse. She camp or the laxusall held on roller skates, and when her turn came to a halt, opposing her came and held her. It told that she, could make Baba Rath book sick when it came to battling averages. She rode a bicycle as though that machine had been invented especially for her no master, and she was the Ogrep of the high divers in the old swimmin' joke. In fact, she was not certainty recognized but as a leader in all games. She never went to school. Often she would come tearing up to the school house on the back of a horse and watch the other children go in. Now as she found against a foe post with a tear trickling down her cheek a friend inquired what her trouble was. She pulled a handlerchief from her breast pouch, and wiped away the tear, ran a finger around the inside of her collar. Izzy always wore a white shirt, and I wore a brown coat to her trousers.

Summer High will play the fast football aggregation from Springfield Mo. on this Saturday at the *Stark's* Park. Springfield has a splendid team one well drilled in the *fundamenta*, and able to put up a good game against the opposing team. Springfield has been defended to date, and experts to take Summer's scalp to be numberer among her victims. Summer on the other hand, does not seem to have struck her stride. Her playing in sports, she seems to lack the fini something necessary to put over a touch down after carrying a ball down the field. The tackling of the team is not up to standard. Her inter- ference on plays does not get the men. Summer will have to hustle in- practice this week to trim Springfield. The game will start at 2:30 Saturday. Geo. R. Smith ended up the score with Summer when she defeated her St. Louis Rival by the score of 6 to 0. The game was a hard fought and well fought one from beginning to the final whistle. Summer used bad judgment in a number of instances and threw several opportunities to score. This poor head work has already cost Summer two games, and almost coast her a defeat with Dong-less High. Summer got the jump or Geo. R. but failed to follow it up. The game was clean through. There were few penalties. While the followers of Summer were disappointed nevertheless, they still have faith in their team. Defender Organizes N. Y. Basketball Team Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK. Nov. 15—That the coming season will be the biggest in basketball history was predicted at the annual gathering of officals coaches and players for rules interpretation at the Hotel Astor last Friday night. The public becomes more interested in the game each year, and this season will find the fans more enthusiastic than ever. This prediction the Chicago Defender will make a New York basketball team to be captured by the great Sol Butler, former American Brand Jump record holder and last year's running guard for the De Fender's Western quintet. This team is scheduled to play several of the best teams in the country: their opening game in New York will be December 7, against Howard University, December 22nd, Lincoln University, December 26th they hook up with the great Chicago team after Western tour far as Kansas City.

"The yellow flashed into her eyes her teeth and clenched her hands." "They say God makes everything. A white man and a colored woman were concerned in making me. And the white race made laws that keeps me out of their schools, and wors still, the black race looks upon me as a white man." This was about as clear an answer as Razz could have made. It explained the situation exactly. The very man who caused her to be just "Razz" thought himself better than she was. But was he as good? They say that Razz throws a wicked diee. Boys of the neighborhood wanted to fight the man who suggested that perhaps the cause of Razz' attack at this gigs would have nothing. Nothing but that. She was fair, sane, and the protector of anyone who was being imposed upon She has been known to rush in when others feared to tread. In order to save someone else. Still the real or the unpleasant world refused to admit that Razz was a real human beig. On the hill, coasting in the snow she could handle a sled as well as she could sniff. Those who have see her shoot, will immediately say: 'Well then, she sure could handle a sled.' Here she was guardian of the young storks. Wose to the old boy or girl who crowded one of the little ones off the sled. Is it any wonder that the children miss her? What better quality could a human being show? Was she adaired for it? No. Razz was; half breed. (To be continued next week.) KLAN CANDIDATE CARRIES OREGON Associate Services.

NOV. 17. 1922 SUGAR-FOOT SNOWBALL COLORED HARMONICA PLAYING FOOL SIKI ROBBED OF TITLE AND BARRED BY BRITAIN Champion Suspended For Nine Months, French and British Act To Save Battered White Prestige, International Federation Asked To Deprive Senegalese Of Title. Crusader Service. PARIS, Nov. 15.—An attempt is to be made to save white prestige European officers are henceforth to be protected by law and the action of their governments from the mauling fists of the conqueror of Georges Cependant, the best product that the European ring has turned out in half century ago, has been forced to prevent the Ski-Beckett bout and thus save the British Empire the embarrassment to its brutally built up preface of having its foremost blower knocked cold by a member of one of the 'snowbelt races'. The British Home-office today drew the color line around the grize ring and forbade the **the** the **Beeckett Mattings** Ski match in that country. The fight was scheduled for December 7, and was the outcome of the recent Beeckett-Moran bout wherein it was arranged that Ski should fight the winner. However, as Carpenter had often used Beeckett for a door mat it was the general] opinion that Beeckett would not have a shadow of chance with the competitor, of **Carpenter**, Meunyah, while prestige had suffered a tremendous act back in Africa. Beeckett's victory over the French Idol, and the British imperials, who do not want their rule, challenged in Africa and Asia by "subject people" accused to their importance and power, was at its wits' end to find a reason for preventing the bout. Then came a fine excuse in the fracas between Ski and the manager of one of two fighters in a bout in Paris last night. Ski, who acted as second for one of the men, resented certain remarks of the manager of the other fighter end, losing his temper, as assaulted the manager. But the London Home Office had already taken action against the Beeckett Mattings. This was the opportunity to make **issues** out of their action in drawing the color line. Furthermore, one Home Office official was **indiscreet enough** to make the following statement for publication: "In contests between men of color of the white population are cam- panies."

Moreover, all sorts of passions are aroused. Such contents, considering the very large number of men of color in the British Empire are considered against the highest national interest and they tend to arouse passion which it is unadvisable to stimulate." In other words, the victories of the colored men over the pride and hope of the white imperialist peoples, tend to arouse aspirations and hopes in the breasts of the oppressed colored peoples of the colonies. So the French Boxing Federation under pressure from both the imperial governments of France and England, have hastily grabbed up the attack made by Skii on a manager in an excuse for depriving the S-negeless battler of the title of big I-heavy weight champion. The manager rushed an appeal to the International Boxing Federation, asking to deprive Skii of his title of world's light heavyweight champion and European heavyweight champion which he won at the time he knocked out Carpenter. That the international Federation will gladly, acquiesced this request goes without saying. As The Crusader Service Correspondent warned some few weeks ago, so it has developed. White prestige must be saved at all costs to decency and fairness. Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, May 10, - Skii is still a top page author. After Britain in the "Today" column delivered the following comment last Friday on the Senegalese fighter: "Monsieur Siki, black price fighter from Seinegal, via Paris, became an acknowledge figure of world importance when he knocked out Carpenter. He was to fight Joe Beckett, the English student for whom the British Home Office officially declare that "such contests between blacks and whites are against national interests." That means "part of Britain's work is keeping many black, yellow, and half black people in their places. It is necessary that the black men should do what they want, not do that, with the white man lying at the black man's feet, knocked out. In other words, "we may not be able to beat you black gentlemen, but we can forbid you to fight white men." Why not stop prize fighting, black and white? Would that also be a blow at white civilization." They who oftenes lead prey to the dotted line are our prospective leaders of to-morrow. "Ideals" begins with "I."
