EIGHT OF THE ELAINE RIOTERS ARE PARDONED RACE DISCRIMINATION IS BLAMED ON CHURCH An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XIII NO. 36 EIGHT OF THE RIOTERS AF Governor Of Arkansas Gives Men Indefinite Furloughs. After Repeated Efforts By The N. A. A. C. P. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Dec. 21.—Eight prisoners who before Christmas Day were facing the prospect, of finishing out an unexpired term of 18 years of 21-year sentences for participation in the Eiline Race plots of 1910, will start the New Year as free citizens. "Governer McRace, passing upon their cases, after reported efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will send them to the release, on the day following Christmas to grant the eight men indemnite forwards. Will Burgess, Sikes Fox, John Rattliff, Gilmore Jonkins, Sam Wilson, Charles Jones, E.L. Mitchell, and Will Perkins, the eight men who will benefit by the act of executive clemency. As prisoners since 1919, five of these men have passed their time at work on the state farm, at Cummins, along with scopes of other prisoners working out similar scences. Per Six other prisoners, convicted of a share in the race rioting which took its toll of death at Elaine, Ark., five years ago, have had their sentences commuted to 12 year penalties. Texes sentenced to the electric chair, these six men had their cases carried by counsel employed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through the state courts into the Supreme Court of the U. S. A lengthy legal battle was staged before the highest tribunal of justice in the nation and the decision of the state courts that the six men should be made to pay the death penalty for their share in the riots, was (when reversed by the supreme court). Afterwards, the six men agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge, and a sentenced sentence of 12 year each. Frank and Ed. Heks, Frank McKinney, I. E. Knox, Ed Coleman, and Paul Thall are the six men saved from the chair. Their cases were also had before Governor McRay, but the governor refused to consider the granting of a pardon, or the exercise of executive clemency to lighten their 12 year sentences.

RACE DISCRIM IS BLAMED Utter Failure Of The Christi And Presence Of "Just World Since The Advent Are The Causes, Says Wi Preston News Service COLUMBUS, Ohio. Dec. 31.—Utter failure of the Christian Church to Christianize and the presence of "just as much, meanness, in the world as the advent of Christianity as before" are the causes of disinformation against, Negroes, Dr. Gilbert H. Jongs, president of Wilberforce University declared in addressing a meeting to promote "Racial Co-operation and Understanding." The meeting was attended by a large number of prominent colored and white people. Bruno Lasker is Speaker Dislike of colored people is due to ignorance of the true characteristics and economic conditions of the race rather than to instinct and such feelings may be obliterated. Bruno Lasker, New York, executive secretary, Race Relations Commissions of National Conference on Christian Way of Life, declared. A group of songs was sung by a quartet from Willberforce University and a solo was sung by Mrs. Helen J. Williams. The meeting was under the auspices of Columbus Urban League of which N. B.

VERNON LAST SUNDAY Bishop, With His Rich Experience, Tells His Hearers What It Means To Give And To Receive. Bhahn W. T. Vernon of Kansas delivered the sermon to the Kappa Alpha ISt. on Sunday morning, December 28 at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. He dwelt on the gifts of the Son of God to man. He spoke of what brings brought to earth and gave to humanity, then developed his theme "gifts' and Giving." He said in part: "At this Christmaside the giving of gifts is a universal custom wherever is Christianity. A gift implies a party both of the first and second part, the one who gives, the one who is receiving. Is it not unlikely possible that many times gifts are made as a matter of policy and not because the giver is prompted by high regard or love? The gifts from above are for all and have never the thought of reward. Have we each fully received the gifts. "To as many as believed on Him gave He power to become the sons of God." Do we fully conceive the possibilities within this verse: "Power to become the Sons of God." Possibilities without limit, unlimited by men, not possible of imprisonment. No man or set of men can suppress and forever retard "Sons of God." Because of this promise and fact, I always see a gay of hope for our Group. I see eternal contact with the Divine presence. May we not invite our personal gifts, today and now? While we have enthusiastically dislabeled our gifts from friends this Yuletide to other admiring friends, how fully we have taken stock of the greater inactions and gifts from above? Let them, he stratified in our minds today and now, take, health, talents, opportunity, friends, home, comfort, wealth, social standing, power, applause—of men. As we each rode here to this city in every comfort, we saw poverty leam and stark, we left it behind us, we passed on every side those in want, those who like Markham's "Man With the Hoe" are helpless, hopeless wretches and failures to whom the future points but misery, obscurity, and utter darkness. How blessed are we! The big hour has arrived for any man who is willing to pay for his blessings, big in the great mark, big in the moment to rank, big in the one that matters. How can we best give? The big hour is at our door: "To us much has been given, of us will much be repaired." As fraternity man of affairs, we each seek to master our culinary, to know the mysteries of science, the beauty of life, the value of industry, the vital and necessary place of religion in the life of man. To do this means to have required much. It has its corresponding obligations, that of all received, are must give—give abundantly. The world experts are enailed in this season to make an invoice, to take stock. We check up our material possessions yearly. We are anxious as to CONTINUED ON PAGE SEVEN ing many pastors are interpreting race intolerance as un-Christian. "Race discrimination ought not to be present; but it is." Dr. Jones said. "The problem is so enormous, so detailed in its ramifications and so suspicious. It wonder if we can do anything about it. Christianity is a fine bunch of theological doctrines. There is none better in the world, but it is a bunch of theological doctrines to be put-off on some one else. Christianity doesn't seem to Christianize and the world goes on with just about as much cussiness in it as before Christianity came. "Ordinary Human Problems" "Race discrimination is just an ordinary human problem with lots of the devil in it. Back of the effort to restrict the Negro to certain blocks and districts of the city is a motive that has not been shown. What does the other fellow get out of disintering the Negro? Some form of the prejudice has existed since time immemorial, which has not always been on color lines. Where one race is blunt to another and held as bondmen and serfs, the subjected race has had to go to turn what the colored people endure.

If the ratio of deaths from tuberculosis in the area that is not registered were the same, the total number was about 107,000. This is compared with 122,000 for 1920. In the 34 states of the registration area, all except one, Utah, showed a lowered rate for 1921. While the general report from the above standpoint is encouraging, it is not encouraging for us to note that the colored population still shows a very high death rate compared with the white population. In all sections where there are colored people in sufficiently large numbers to be enumerated separately, the death rate among the colored population is a great deal higher than among the whites; in some instances being about three times as great. This seems to be about the same proportion that has existed for years. For instance, Florida gives an adjusted rate for 1921 of 61.9 per hundred thousand of its white population and 159.7 for its colored population. Kentucky 115.7 white; 326.4 colored; Louisiana white; 317.8 colored; Mississippi 55.7; 177.8 colored; New York 91.9 white against 306.9 colored; North Carolina 77.8 white; 211.1 colored; Pennsylvania 82.5 white; 311.9 colored; South Carolina 55.1 white; 1921 colored; Tennessee 114.2 white; 321.8 colored; Virginia 90.6 white; 321.8 colored; Maryland 97.9 white; 298.6 colored. A great many arguments have been produced against statistical information, especially as it affects the colored population in comparison with the white; but setting aside criticism in this regard, statements of this kind from such an authoritative source should receive the most careful and thoughtful consideration on the part of the colored people in the country, who are interested in their welfare. In fact, any subject of this kind is worthy of the greatest consideration on the part of all because tuberculosis is no respecter of color. If a large percentage of the colored people are infected with it and the colored must associate, as they do, with the whites in the numerous activities of life, the latter are endangered by the infection of the former, and vice versa; hence everything that is possible people to include in their health and living conditions. We believe that it is more generally conceded than, then formally, that there is no inherent tendency or susceptibility on the part of the colored race to tuberculosis, and in this connection by "cultural" we re- GREETINGS: To Our Many New Pursuit We Wish You A H We Regret That We To Accomodate The anche of Citizens On New Year's E sponse To Our Eff whelming.

We repeat, there is no special inherent tendency on the part of the Negro people to tuberculosis. We firmly believe that this higher death rate on our part is due to ignorance, superstition, unwholesome and unbiased biography condone and unjustified study and investigations will support us in these conclusions.

"THE ONLY WOMAN" O CAME BACK" standing episodes in the life of Abraham Lincoln have been lated tightly together into a moving pulsing, gripping entertainment that possesses much humor, frequent touches of paths, adventure and thrills beyond number.

The familiar characters visualized in the drama are so flawlessly done that it ceases to be acting and becomes sheer reality. George Billings is the character star. JANUARY 8-9 THE CASINO Al Wilson will be featured at the Casino Theatre this Saturday in "The Air Hawk." Art Mix will be featured on Sunday and Monday in "The Man from Rio Grande." Ben· Wilson is the star in "Notch Number One," the Tuesday offering. This is a showy drama of the great Writer's Guild of a strong man for the woman he loves even when the love is hopeless. "Riders At Night," a western thriller, will be shown on Wednesday, featuring Big Boy Williams, Franklyn Farnum will be seen in "Border Intrigue," a story of California and Old Mexico, on Thursday, "Scared Hands," on Friday, "Scared Hands," in the realm of oil and sage brush, will be presented next Friday, with another five reel western drama featuring Hoot Gibson. THE LINCOLN Strongheart, the wonder dog, will be featured in "The Love Master" at the Lincoln theatre this Saturday. The story is laid in the sparsely settled regions of Canada and centers about the mystery of the young man who has arrived with Strongheart and ends with the solution of the mystery and the love victory of the yedling belle. Along with the faithful boy from the States, Avery grace filmed during the progress of a real one contested by the best dog teams in Canada, provides some real thrills. The Sunday special will be "Wine," Betty Compson will be seen in "Ramshackle House," on Wednesday. Tom Mix will be shown in "The Last of the Duanes" Thursday. A series of thrilling incidents including a desperate battle by Tom against bandits, a kidnapping, the escape and pursuit, particularly the activities of the star, crowd one another with almost bewildering rapidity. The Friday attraction will be feeble-bald, Denny in "The Rockless Age." THE CRITERION Wilham Farmer will be seen in "Tha Man Who Fights Alone," at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. Gloria Swanson in "Wages of Virtue" will be the Sunday special. The picture is a pleasing love tale woven about a young girl product of the slums, who becomes the toast of the French Foreign Legion.

Colleen Moore will be seen in "Slippe Mcgee" on Monday; Viola Dana in "Open All Night," on Tuesday; "The King of Wild Horses," and "Pal O Mine," on Wednesday. The Thursday special will be "It Is The Law." It is sheer "drama with its theme based on one of those queer quirks of the law that ordains that a man cannot be tried for the same crime twice. Besides a law that permits punishment out the enactment of the drama, it has one of the most startling and thrilling climaxes ever written into any story for screen, stage or novel. Rockcliff Fellows and Vera Reynolds will be featured in "Flapper Wives," next Friday. THE VENUS The Venus Theatre will present Rudolph Valentino in "A Sainted Devil," on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is a fiery tale of this Spanish-American youth whose bride is stolen from him on his wedding night. His vain search for her, his embittered turning against the injustice of life and becoming a bandit, seeking vengeance for his wrongs make a tense, exciting drama, full of hot-blooded action and suspense. Valentino's role is that of a handsome young planter who becomes the terror of the neighborhood and seeks vengeance against everyone whom he comes in contact. The conditions under which he finally finds his bride and the revenge he takes brings us up to an event that is probably more sensational than anything the star has ever done before. Betty Compson will be seen in "The First Set," on Thursday and Friday. It is a dramatic comedy of a family torn apart by the different views on life of husband and wife and welded together once more when a girl of the street makes the wife a man and a husband becomes the husband that his wife loves him. Milton Sills will be presented in "Why Women Re-Marry," next Saturday, January 10. Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 31. The headquarters of the Colored Actors Union announces that the initiation fee of the organization has been raised by a reduction effective by February first. In the letter accompanying the announcement, S. H. Dudley, the general manager of the Union, expresses considerable pleasure at the volume of good that the organization has already accomplished, even though its active operations have extended over but one year. He cites a number of instances where the Union has assisted performers and he asks that those who have been so benefited to provide written acknowledgment of these facts so that it may be used as proof to the few who are yet without the fold. He makes reference to the purpose of the Union to provide a home for the aged artists, and to create for them in the meantime more favorable working conditions. It might be stated in this connection that the expose of dressing room conditions made by Tony Langston a department of the Chicago Defender is now being taken up by Union officials. It is a most worthy undertaking and one that has long needed attention. The seriousness of the Union is best indicated by the fact that it is the first all-colored labor or professional body to resort to the papers with a campaign of paid advertising to lay its purpose before the JEST-A-MERE NEW GAYETY THEATRE 14TH & LOCUST - (PLAZA BLDG) - DAILY MAT'S COLUMBIA BURLESQUE Marmo Talma dda w Eugene OBrien CASI SATURDAY, JANUARY 3 AL WILSON The World's Mest Amazing Stunt Flyer and Daredevil of the Clouds.

BANKER AND FILM HEAD SEND ACTRESS APOLOGY NEW YORK, Dec. 31—Both Felix M. Warbler, banker, in whose honey a dinner was given, from which affair Mrs. H. Pramain was elected over being extended two invitations to contend, and Adolph Zuker, famous motion picture producer who sent the invitations, have expressed their regrets that such an incident occurred. The former made public a letter to the actress which contents read as follows: "I was exceedingly sorry to learn from your letter of the fifth inst., of the very unfortunate incident which occurred last Sunday evening, and which naturally must have been painful to you. I am quite sure that if any of us had known about it, this would not have highpicked, because I certainly would dream of drawing a picture of you, of having been deeply interested in Tennessee and Mr. Booker Washington dined at my house, and my brother succeeded me as a trustee of that spendid institution. "I have by this time the incident has been forgotten." Mr. Zukor also gave out the full text of the letter he wrote to Mr. Prampin. It read: "I have for acknowledgement a copy of the letter which you wrote to Mr. Felix Warring." Needless to say, I greatly regret the occurrence of last Sunday night, and I am certain that if any one in authority had seen what occurred no such discontourry would have been tolerated. I trust that no such understanding will ever happen in the future. BEQUEST Y' HUGE SUM IN ACTS OF KINDNESS WASHINGTON, D.C. Dec. 31. The colored M. Y. M.

Hello, Amutie, anything of interest this week? Yes, dear, to my mind there is. I try tell me what it is, Amutie. Why, didn't you read of the plan to erect another beauty college in our city? No, I did not. By whom is this college to be erected? is to be commended, but the girl, who has had a business training has no right to deprive the girl, without that training of the job of operating an elevator or of the job of stock girl if a department store, when that is the only thing she can do, but if there is nothing else for her to do, why she is forced to do it. We must make openings for our boys and girls an Why, Madam Evelyn Horton is to have this building erected. Don't you think is useful for St. Louis? Why no indeed, if we had two more we would not have too many. Why wouldn't we, little? Simply because the more business we have, the more employment there will be for our boys and girls. I hadn't thought of that side of it, what? No, and there are others who have not thought of that side and have spoken in the same manner you are speaking. Mabel, our schools are sending out larger classes each year and off boys and girls are graduating at a younger age than in previous years. Now the question is what they to do? We realize, that all can not and do not care to teach and still they can not be idle. Don't you know if there were more businesses among us, there would be employment for these girls and boys, who come out of schools? Honest work of any kind successful architect. With the assistance of an advising architect, not residing in the state and whose salary will be $7,000 plus expenses; the city will select four architects, not connected with the contest, as jurors. They will each receive a fee of $1,000 plus expenses. All the architects of the state will be invited to compete and the winning architect will receive a contract on a percentage basis estimated to be worth $800,000. Williams' entry into the contest has created great concern among his many white competitors. The contest has made a recognition of winning all competitions in which he enters. He has won three National and four Western architectural competitions, and recently his design for a Civic Center was accepted by a Western city of 30,000 inhabitants. DOWN IMMIGRATION LAW AT STATISTICAL MEETING DOWN IMMIGRATION LAW AT STATISTICAL MEETING OHICAGO. 11, Dec. 51=Miss Edith Abbott of the University of Chicago, who has been engaged in an extensive study of the immigration problem declared the same, unfair, unintentive and infiltrate in an address before the American Statistical Association here, Tuesday. Referring to the result of the law, she said: "In one private organization in Chicago, there are 200 cases of aliens who cannot become citizens because their wives are in the old country and who cannot bring their wives over because they are not citizens." Miss Abbott declared against extending the quota regulations to Canada, declaring that "we should be able to welcome these aliens with proper military they are hard-picked and selected by a careful process through Canada." Robert A. Miller of Ohio State University, discussed alien culture in this country, which he said, "has been driven into cold storage by the activities of the Ku Klux Klan and the 100 per cent." EASTERN COLLEGE GETS $82,000 SCIENCE HALL Architects, plans are being rapidly prepared and work will be begun as soon as the weather permits in the spring. The building will be of red brick with limestone trimmings. The first floor will be devoted to physics, the second floor to biology, and the third floor to chemistry. The building will occupy a prominent site a little to the northwest of the present recitation building. The architect is J. B., Betelle of Gulbfert and Betelle, Newark, New Jersey. It is probable that the cornerstone will be laid at the college commencement June 9th WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 31.—The teachers of Washington are contesting a hot fight for the approval of a bill for a substantial increase in salary. A committee has already been designated to make an appeal to the faculty. Threaten To Leave All of the correspondence between the committee of the faculty, Dr. J. is to be commended, but the girl, who has had a business training has no right to deprive the girl, without that training of the job of operating an elevator or of the job of stock girl in a department store, when that is the only thing she can do, but if there is nothing else for her to do, why she is forced to do it. We must make openings for our boys and girls and not expect others to do so much. Why Mabek, there is no reason why we should not have here in St. Louis, a bank owned by our people. You may say, we haven't the money, but you should visit any of the banks of our city and be convinced that we do deposit money.

Amific do you think we are able to support such enterprises? Why don't it be a fact that we eat as much as other folks, and certainly we are compelled to wear shoes and if you don't believe that we spend as much for clothing in proportion to our number, as others, you have only to inquire at Grand Leaders, Sorgeres, Ingents and some of the other stores where we have accounts. Well, Am I convinced that you are right. Good bye dear. Good bye Auntie. M. Moorland of the trustee board and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university, was set forth in full. The memorial stated that teachers are leaving Howard University for better positions and cited several separations during last year. The names of 33 teachers were printed at the end of the document. Concerning2 allocation of funds appropriated to increase teachers' salaries, the pumpper set forth in part: "Of the $15,100 allotted by the board of trustees for increase of salaries and employees on the Hill, little more than $1,000 was assigned to the 60 academic teachers who signed the original memorial. It would appear that we shared 60 very slight degrees in the $15,100 allotted for increase in salaries. "We are naturally curious to know where the balance of the $15,100 was applied. As the whole amount was allotted to "the increase of salaries of teachers and other employees on the Hill," we take for granted the bulk of it went to the other employees, who seem to be the principal beneficiaries of our memorial. Our apportionment of salaries was not made on the basis ofruck, longevity, experience or attainment. It humilifies the just dignity and the professional pride of any body of workers to have the administration piece out their pay by dolling out a few dollars here and there according to its good will and pleasure."

R FALL AND WINTER SUITS NOW, At AKE JICK YOUR TAILOR 1024 Market Street NEGRO NATIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE MEETS HERE JAN. 31 Statement From Headquarters Covers Blount Case, Affecting Detroit Franchise And Players. FOREWORD BY NATALIE BOSCHMAN Headquarters CHICAGO, Ill. Dec. 31—The New National League will hold a called meeting at St. Louis on Jan. 31, as we agreed at the meeting of the board of directors on Saturday, December 26 at 3435 Indiana avenue, during the annual confab of the western circuit heads. It was at this meeting that the directors of the western league wrote John Blount or Detroit demanding that he give the players on the playt Straight line to the playt claimed they had coming to them. Blount on the opening day of the meeting had been taken to task for dropping his players from his pay roll fifteen days before the season ended. At that time (December 4) he explained that the players had agreed to a cooperative plan. This the league did not believe as the players had written both the league president, Rube Foster and the league as a whole stating their side of the contagious which in a few words was nothing else than a bloom on September 18 and told them he was through. They played some harm- storming games, they admit, but say Blount even charged them one dollar apiece, each game played after Sept. 16 for rental of uniforms. Blount was in the meeting at the time the charges were brought up. He knew of the fight that would be made on him. The matter was deferred for action two days later, owing to the joint meeting of the two leagues on Friday. A banquet was held Friday night and Blount suddenly took a notion not to remain and face the fight but that he had "urgent business" in Detroit. He left either on a midnight train Friday night or early Saturday morning. Anyway he was not present at the noon session Saturday, nor at the evening session held at the Indiana avenue address, which is "Foster's on the corner" (by Dr. Dr. Koehler of St. Louis as his proxy. The following clubs were represented at the meeting: St. Louis, Birmingham, Detroit (by proxy) the American Giants, Cuban Stars (by Proxy) Cleveland, Kansas City Monarchs. The Memphis club was represented by R. C. Lewis, who was absent because Lewis is still in debt to the league for $800.00, and was not admitted into the meeting. It was at this meeting that Blount was voted out of the league directing body as vice-president and replaced by Dr. Koehler, his proxy. He was not informed that he must pay players by January 1 or present affidavits signed by each player or pay players and present affidavits after January 1, and the league would return his money. This was a "bombshell and Blount then came through with a scatching statement that he was out of the league since January 1." The fans throughout the country are surprised inasmuch as Blount came to Chicago and came with the fullest intention of remaining in the league according to the league heads but when he saw the league meant business he couldn't stand the pressure. President Foster forced the issue in the beginning. He wrote to the members of the league saying he was through. He demanded that all indebtedness due him should be straightened up before he would go into executive session. This forced Memphis outdoors. He returned the league to the league, minus the indebtedness, due him. He made a motion to make Dr. Keyes chairman of a committee to examine his books on the league and make a financial statement and then offer his resignation. The motion died as no one would second it. Foster was re-elected president of the Negro National league by acclamation. The league's proceeded to do business. Wilkerson, owner of the Chicago Clippers, director in the western circuit, came forth and put his thousand dollars on the table. He told the directors under no circumstances at present could things be improved upon? Foster is president of the western circuit, was chairman of the commission on tentative agreement of peace between the two leagues and was chairman of the joint session, laying been nominated for the place by one Edward Bolden. He was also chairman of the commission governing the colored World series. No longing. No longing. No colored baseball what it is — Foster has shouldered the burden of financially backing several clubs. He has been forced at times to advance transportation monies, has paid salaries of players and this season after the league umpires (colored) were dropped in the middle of the season because the league had no funds to pay them — Foster carried them until the end of the season and paid them. He has advanced monies to the league salaries and salaries. This has done enough of and laid the matter before the league and demanded that in the future every tub must stand on its own bottom. The trouble started last summer when Blount refused to go to Cleveland to fill out a schedule. This brought a break between Foster and Bount. Foster claimed Blount refused to go because Cleveland did thought it should, as he did (Blount thought it should, as he did) and informed Blount that in case he did not go, no more league games would be scheduled in Detroit with the Detroit club. He also asked for Blount's resignation. There are fifty-six baseball players in the western circuit who would have jumped cast had not Foster personally guaranteed their salaries for 1925. Among these men is Bruce Petway, manager of the Detroit Stars. The false statements are untrue. some Chicago papers had a few out of town tapers stating that Foster has resigned from the league is not only arresteed but it is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public. These statements appear in issues of the newspaper while as a matter of record, Foster was re-elected on December 6. John Schorling (white) who leaves the lease on the American Giants park has never attended a league meeting. Foster owns the ball club and not Schorling. Any attempt to connect him with the league is another attempt to mislead. Wilkerson is the only white man in the league meeting and he has always been for the advancement of the league and takes no part in the petty squabbles. The eastern league had Spedden, Rossiter, Keenan and Strong; four. There has been an attempt made by one Chicago sport writer to make it appear that the western circuit was dominated by a white man. Detroit to Have Club There will be a Detroit ball club in the league in 1925. The park at Detroit is not for rent, nor can John T. Blount rent it. The truth of the matter is that Foster holds a lease on the park signed jointly by him self and Blount and the writer of this article knows that the owner of the park was in the city during the leisure time he was a conference with Poste concerning the lease in case Blount was forced out of baseball he was "doomed to get the gate." Blount entered baseball with live thousand dollars, never using the entire amount. His riso was phenominal. He made $28,000 clear in the first two years. He was warned that he might strike some learn years. Baseball men who had stood the graft; for the past ten years were loathe to believe of Blount's success. Then came the jumping to the east. Men like Warfield and Thomas got the graft; then Cooper and the Detroit fans' became with him a manager. He couldn't stand to lose and ball players became disgruntled at the treatment accorded then when they dropped games. This followed with the break with Foster this year and the passing of Blount out of the Negro baseball. NEGRO BOXERS SUFFER A SETBACK IN 1924 Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—What is the trouble with our fighters? Are they keeping in line with the passing of the old year? Or are the white fighters our superiors? If not what does it mean when four of the leading race boxers were completely outclassed by their white opponents and one, Tiger Flowers rose to be the most talked of boxer in recent years. As a starter the brown-skinned boy from Panama, Jose Lombardo, survived the first bout in the elimination for a successor to Johnny Dundee's crown as the featherweight champion of the world, and then wooed him by Phil Kapel in a few weeks later. Next in line came Kid Norfolk, who was apposed to be the greatest fighter of his weight in the world today until Tom Gibbons stopped him in the former's first mixed bout in Madison Square Garden. Then in the last week of the old year Larry Estridge, another race boxer, who is the sole survivor of his company that went in action with the Germans in France and who was fast gaining attention as an opponent for Harry Greb's middleweight title, was knocked out by Paul Berbenbach, a white boxer, with a hard punch, the sports critics of "New York hemp" express their comments before the fight and unanimously stated that the Nerger would win hands down because he was too fast for the white boy. -Eut the results were different and so is Estridge. In Philadelphia, Joe Libbey, a very promising weightluger, and the hope of the race in this part of the country, who was promised a match with Mickey Walker, the welter weight champion, and the white boy sanctioned it, was badly beaten by Lew Tonder, a crack white fighter the passing of the last four hours left, and the race but the rise of Tiger Flowers, who cheered their hearts. Not since the days of Joe Walcott, whose fighting ability was the talk of the world a few years back, has a man, white on black, caused the fighters of note to run like the Tiger.

RIDDLE AND TAYLOR STAR IN DEFEAT OF MISSOURI LOS, ANGELES, CALIF., Dec. 31. JOHN Riddle, BRIECE Taylor are reported to have played in the inter-sectional football game at the University of Missouri and the University of California, played here last week. Riddle, who is considered the hardest line plunger on the U. S. C. team, made many of the advances that counted towards touch downs. So outstaffing was his playing, that he was landed in write-ups of the game and his picture appeared in local newspapers. "Whenever U. S. C. was badly in need of a few yards dhonkey that was standing right handedly and many times took a lot more for the good measure, Boy! What a drive that gave in his bipeds. We're not from Missouri, but he showed all of us yesterday;" this is a statement that came out in a leading daily concerning Riddle's play. Briece Taylor, Trojan guard whom Tom Trocher said, was like a locomotive did not fail to let the Tiger know that he was in the game. Negro Middleweight Champ 'K.

The colored fighter seemed to lose his usual cockerheadedness before his opponent and allowed him to break the grip once again untimely. He displayed rent gameness. In the main Estridge was too frail against the husky Berien back. The former weighted 153, while the latter weighted 168 pounds. Talledega University Has New $50,000 Gymnasium TALLADEGA.

Taylor, owner of the club national known as C. I. Taylor's A. B. B. club of Indianapolis, the report that the A. B. B. C.'s would play in the National Negro League was absolutely denied. Mrs. Taylor's statements follow: "The A. B. B. club has not been sold or lensed but is still my property and will play them for independent busing or for the coming season. C. I. Taylor's A. B. B. club are out of the League and will stay for there is much wrangling and its tension which they are willing to avoid in the picture." The Indianapolis, A. B. C.'s as originally constituted and the fans who make the reputation of the National League possible will not soon forget the base ingrititide of the League in failing to deal fairly or to assist the A. B. C.'s. I terp the notion of the League, ungrateful because Mr. Taylor was the owner and booster of the idea out of which the League grew. I am in possession of the diplippins which show that Mr. Taylor has the idea of organized baseball for colored players for clean sport and higher standard just as he was a planner in the fight for clean sport and higher standard for players and fans. At that time there was much opposition expressed to the idea, one of which is expounded by the President of the present league was that the supporters of the clubs, or fans as we now term them, were not dependable or grateful for the efforts put forth for their diversion and entertainment. Later the league came into being, but to this day belongs the credit for its origin. And this is the reason his respect and gratitude for Mr. Taylor efforts to make colonized baseball something to be proud of should have assisted the team which he founded and which bears his name. Since they are no more a part of the League let the club which enters from Indianapolis now, go in under its proprietor and make a reputation on its own merit and not on borrowed glory, fabled though it now is. Quizns the GAME. Every Indianapolis fan knows that before C. J. Indianapolis, no colored man had Indianapolis, no colored man had credible reputation for the colored clubs here. Respectable citizens refused to attend the games because gambling, bad language and general rowdyism were permitted to go on. The games were played in a mud lot, unsanitary and far inferior to my standard of high citizenry. Consequently the masses rightfully refused to tolerate or indulge the sport as practiced here. Many years of hard and unrestraint struggle on the part of Mr. Taylor changed those condi- tions of the pedicers he made the way easy for the colored man and it is to be hoped that the next owner will live up to the same high standard or essay higher ones. With that I have the same concern that any other true lover of baseball and any booster of Indianapolis has, but I insist that credit be given where it is due and that these players who worked gladly that those who came after might go farther be given recognition. That will be a greater tribute to the memory and work of C. L. Taylor than any manuscript of brick or stone. The Indianapolis fans may cease to remember or care that they Contributed to a fund for the creation of a monument, but will not forget the high standards set for colored baseball.

Grand Blvd. The cost of Kappa Alpha Psi is to make that event one of such a type that the spirit of K. A. I. may be more effectively defined among all members. (Custom has also made the affair a closed one, in the sense that only Kappa men, their gives and lady friends are admitted.) The Hall was decorated especially for this occasion, the city's decorating concepts. During the grand match the ladies were given favors; beautiful silver perfume; f l a s k s k s upon which was placed the fraternity's emblem. This affair by far was the most picturesque and colorful event of the season. All dances were held in the V. E. W. Hall, a place which has before this time been unavailable to colored on the city. In connection with the format affair urged by the by the Kappus Alpha Polo Security many supplementary house parties were given. **Next Meet in Gotham** New York was selected as the host city of the 1925 convention while the following men were elected to guide the destinies of the Kappus next year: Grand Polenarch, Earl B. Dickerson, Chicago alumni, Grand E. Dickerson, Polenarch, dancer Hunter, Grand E. Dickerson, Keeper of Ex. J. Ernest Wilkins, lt. Chapter, Chicago, Grand, Strategue, F. A. Clements, Theta, Evanson, III; Lieut. Strategue, Nathan D. Scott, Chi. Boston, Mass. Kappas Heard W. T. Vernon CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE our property holdings. We estimate assets and liabilities. Yet all these pass, all these come to an end. May we not take stock of values superior to these? How invaluable have been the blessings we have received! No man can estimate these in terms of dollars, pounds, francs, or lire. We need no books for the calculation. The preponderant question fueling each of us today is—"What can I give in return for what I get?" What of sympathy, love and service? Today we have the greatest opportunity man ever had to serve. Are we using our gifts not for our own aggrandizement alone, but for humanity? This is no argument for profitability. Every man should strive to be independent. He desires the comfort money can bring, the place that a competency among his fellows insures. He needs books, money, are selected. He needs culture and exalted living for himself and those dear to him. This he secures with the increment of his labor; with money. "The accumulation of wealth for wealth's sake alone is the root of all evil. Philanthropy has a new meaning. The acts of present day benefactors at times are not at all removed from deeds of holliness. Fraternity, knowledge, fidelity—what wonderful world, what benevolent life, this scheme of uplift and betterment. Fraternal, friendly, knowing; having knowledge which is power, with fidelity unquestioned. Any man whose soul is on fire with such principles will give richly to a world in need of his life and labors. These words potential have meaning for us as we walk by the light of the Holy Bible, the illumination of which accentuates unto the end of the day. To do this successfully, the apostle Paul instructs us to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge temperance and to temperance, patience, and to patience, godliness, and to godliness, brotherly kindness, and the brotherly kindness, charity." My brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi, the hour will come when the follower of Hippocrates will cease the practice of medicine, the displease of Blackstone will lay aside his brief case, the man of business will close his ledgers, the teacher will no longer give instruction. Then will the shadows lengthen, the sky turn yellow, then gold, then maybe. "The long day closes," "Sunset and evening bell—after that the dark." May we not in this presence while the day is yet full ask ourselves—what of the morning? ? "Come on, snap out of it! Be a man," reads the physical culture advertisement. But bobbed half girls shouldn't take it too serious. PAGE SEVEN CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE end, without knowing, the means to achieve this end. Mr. Lasker said, "People say that race prejudice is as old as the ages, that it is an instinct and that one never can bring it to an end. But one cannot have an instinctive regulation to a color. Do you have any repulsion to the color of chocolate candy?" "It is not instinctive. It is acquired, and if we admit that it is acquired, we must admit also that we can be rid of it. People who talk about Nordic superiority generally are blust." "Unfavorable experiences set the keynote and we become conscious of a dislike for colored people long after we have forgotten the experience which created the feeling. When we hear Southern Negroes making that Christ was a colored man we have a feeling that they are sacreligious. We picture him as a man with blue eyes and long flowing looks, wheres he actually looked like one of the Arabs." "Do you know how the Northerns actually gained their power and pre-dominance in the world today, they were sailors and learned to obey their captains. During a storm, the one who would not obey the leader was the first to be thrown overboard and the only action that gave them their successes in their early raids and whataker their successes today."

Financial Reports Not Found. The report also declared that no regular financial reports for the institution had ever been available. Situations account for the keeping of his funds, according to the department report, also refused to name the bank in which his depo- sits were made. After declaring that the sanitary condition of the school is bad and describing the conditions in which the students' lying quarters were found, the report pointed out that the fire hazard is very great, the buildings be- ing of frame construction without fire experience, that oil lamps and coal spades are used, the central enclo- ment at the time of the inspection by the state department of welfare was eighteen, about half of whom were boarding units. The state department recommends in its report that Stinson be compelled to stop spending money for property while the institution suffers that the students be taught personal hygiene and that the sanitary conditions at the school be immediately improved. Two Foreign Mission Days In St. Louis CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE your Christinity is a sham, a fraud, a mockery. There were 20 or more young men and women, most of whom are under 24 years of age, who went forth last Sunday to announce the drive and urge contributions. Any persons who have not been reached and who want to contribute may send their contribution to your pastor with instruction to Dr. J. T. Custon, 3348 West Belle and a priest receipt will be sent. Big Two Day Mass Meeting The efforts of St. Louisans to raise their quota will come to an end when a two days mass meeting and missionary symposium will be held. The date has been set as Monday and Tuesday, January 5 and 6 in the afternoon and night of each day. The First Baptist Church was chosen as the place. Dr. L. K. Williams Pres., National Baptist Convention, Dr. J. K. Austin, Chairman National Baptist Correction Mission Board, Dr. J. E.

Dr. L. K. Williams is scheduled to deliver an address Monday night. He will be introduced by Dr. O. C. Max well, Dr. J. C. Austin of Pittsburgh, Pa., who many regard as the most gifted pulpitifier in America, will speak Tuesday night. He will be introduced by Dr. J. Lyle Caster. All Reports will be reviewed on Tuesday night. Pastors of churches or other persons desiring more envelopes call in person or in phone at the residence of Mrs. J. T. Cason or Mrs. O. C. Maxwell who are directing the drive here in St. Louis.

Lesson for January 4 CHRISTIS TRIUMPHAL ENTRY LESSON TEXT—Luke 19:28-44. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord—Luke 19:28. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Great Crowd Praising Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC -- The Triumphal Entry The title given this lesson is somewhat misleading. Strictly speaking, it was far from a triumphal entry. It was rather the official presentation of the King of the Jewish nation. Back of the cry, "hosanna," the awful word, "crucify" was uttered by the same persons who cried "hosanna." Though they were utterly blind to the fact, God was about to carry out His plan of hosanna, which means "save now," through the crucifixion of the Son of God. I. The Presentation (vr. 29-34). I. Sending the Disciples for the Apostle (vr. 29-31). He told them just what to do, how to answer the inquiry of those who owned it. This shows how perfectly the Lord knows all our ways. He knows our whereabouts by day and night. He even knows our thoughts. He uses unlikely means and insignificant things in the accomplishment of His purpose. 2. The Fulfillment of Prophecy (Matt. 21:4, 5). Some five hundred years before Zechariah had predicted this event. Christ's entry into Jerusalem was an exact fulfillment of this prediction. This is highly instructive to those who would understand the prophecy, the prediction of his first coming was literally fulfilled, we can be assured that the prophecy of His second coming will be likewise fulfilled. The first is established beyond a doubt. The second we should as heartily believe. The prediction of Zechariah 14:3-11 will be just as literally fulfilled as the first. The second we should fully obey. 3. Obedience of the Disciples (yr. 23:41). Though the request may have seemed strange, and even unreasonable, they fully obeyed. The true discipline will render glad obedience to the Lord no matter how strange His commands may seem. Obedience to that only which seems reasonable is not obedience at all. All we prove that we are real disciples! The Entry of the King (yr. 23:38) 1. The Disciples Set Jesus Upon the Ass (v. 35). This act of putting their garments upon the ass and setting Jesus upon it showed that they recognized Him as their King (II Kings 9:13). 2. Acclaimed as King by the Diocles (vv. 36-38). Some spread their garments in the way. Others, perhaps having no garments to spare, cut down branches of trees and allowed them in His way, which was no doubt just as acceptable to Him. They praised God for having them. He had seen and cried out, "Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord." 111. The Critical Phalluses (vv. 30, 40). Although swept along by the demonstration of the multitude they deemed it prudent to ask the Lord to rebuke the disciples, as such behavior might be interrupted by the Roman government as an insurrection. To their demand they helped that someone only fitting had necessary declared that, the multitude were silent, the very stones would cry out in adoration of him. IV. The King Rejected (vv. 41-44). Christ knew what awaived Him in Jerusalem. Though surrounded by loyal hearts, He knew that the rulers of the nations had no heart for Him. He knew that Jesus would before Him so that He wept over Jerusalem. He knew that actual days awaived it and that loyal hearts would greatly welcome Him. If they only know, He showed that their inability to see Him as their King and Savior would result in bringing upon them the awful horrors of the destination. He showed that the rulers for allowing the house of God to become degraded by carrying on frame for gain. The cleansing of the temple only increased their affred and opposition to Him. Obey * Obey the voice of God in the Book, the voice of God in your heart, the voice as he speaks through these dimensions, and His gracey obeyance. *Bibles. Want of Self Reliance Discontent is the want of self-reliance—it is infirmity of will—Christian Evangelist. Smothered Thoughts Sometimes little thoughts are smothered in death beneath a list of ponderous sentences—American Evangelist.

Church in the south, has reached a merited place in the sun of popular observation by his fellowman. Rev.

CHURCH Christmas is a great time at St. Peters. On Christmas are the Sun- day School had its annual Christ- mas tree and after the program had been reheated and pills distributed and pastor and members had partied. loved the pastor to his home and the mumbers and friends quietly followed him with a surprise in which he gave them many kinds of canned goods, fruit canned, edd, the value of which would exceed $12.00, besides gifts of money. The Christmas service was held at 11 a.m. for us at 8:00 p.m. the senior choir rendered a Cantaion which was a treat to all who heard it. Myron Bolar acting as plantsman, Yegy also for all and invites you to attend services at St. Peters. You will be made very welcome. BEREA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH "Dear Master, as the old year-dieth row Take Then my harp, And prove if any string be out of O or flat or sharp. Correct Thou, Lord, for me. What ringtone harsh to Thee. That heart and life may slug, the new year long. Try perfect song." The New Year suggests many questions. Have we been *foods* or *wine*? Have we seized opportunities or superseded our chances? Have we learned in any measure what God's will is? Have we exalted the material? Have we learned to walk with the walled. Have we been grateful and have we been humble? There is in the human heart an instinctive desire to take a fresh start and to do what we have done in the past. We have done what we have done in the past, work and word, those advantages will prove stepping stones to higher grades of service; and if in the past we have failed, there is now a chance to write again. Each day is a battle—Conquer each day and Victory over 1825 is assured.

Master of Human Destroy am I, Vame, Love and Fortune on, My Footsteps Walt. Once upon a time, as all stories begin, a sheep herder was presented with a cub lion. He at once started to raise it with the sheep as a pet. In a short time it was as much at home as were the sheep and played and camped as they did. It was so much larger than the sheep, but still played the games as they did, ate as they did, was herded in at night with them, it had man all the traits of a sheep, except was larger. He day a stray lion from the wild, the sheep was the habit of the beast, roared being, clamped over his find of the sheep. The pet cub, as well as the sheep, rushed to shelter, and safety. But the sheep, right there and then, He had never seen he could roar; he tried and the sheep looked at him in awe. He could run faster and could have devoured one of them easily any time, but never knew he had power to help. He had his mind and immediately to the wilds. He had never known of such a tall bill he heard his kind; when he killed, he skathed himself. He saw an officer as far superior as he strength to him. He had been seared with. He now knew no limit, the whole outside was his to roam anywhere he pleased and to do, without being bawled by anything. He had been awake, with it. It is the same thing. A great many go along thrill life with an idea that feet to step with the average crowd and drift along with a leader that has a limit for you. You look around to see what you might do to better things a little bit. There are things all about to be seen, the only only looks toward the door.

THE JOY OF WORK There is a reason for being on this earth. There may not be a satisfactory answer for you at the present time, but since we are here, why not make an accountable showing while Picture yourself the man or woman you should be and make every effort to make that picture a reality. There is no way in the world for sheep to eat the lion, but a lion would eat the sheep if ever retain the ideas, habits and disposition of the sheep. It is the same with man. If he will make up his mind to be the lion and take up the habits and traits of the lion, or the man you should be, you will get richer shepherd. There are times when all these things come to every man and he falls to hear the roar and doesn't know to leave the old order of things. For our time is at hand to assert our powers for self development. Who knows what we may come to by our own shorts, as is shown by what has done in the past, by making the best out of himself he will be a help to his brother. By helping one another we help all. By helping all, all are helping. By helping we have a unit of strength. Neary laugh at a purge nose! You can move tell what a going to turn up at all.

Van Booven st St. Saturday, 12 Restaurant Menton-Barr PLATE AND BRIDGE WORK with Facilities Guaranteed THE JOY OF WORK By Joel M. Lockwood I sitt, I plan, I dream only on the thought of today. What has passed, has no part of my thought or action. I care not what my ancestors have done to me, and what I shall do tomorrow. In this vast community, we should try to uplift our race to a higher and better advancement. We should look for self-drance in the betterment of the race next. The betterment of the race next and political life in this country, keep their minds busy on the subject of the betterment of the race. In my imaginary mind, I see others planning. I also have the right plan for tomorrow. The disappointments that arise in my daily walk of life, the lesson of failure, give me a pleasure to concentrate on many subjects when bring joy and happiness to tomorrow. I see many of my ancestors thought of the oppressed is, the betterment of his condition. In my work, I offer orders work and theirs is no harder than mine, and that makes me a master over me, and drives me to success. I work to-day for the joy I will obtain. To- tain in my production. I oftimes hear comments passed on my work, but I work for the joy I get, and the kindness of things without the knowledge of, but the pleasure is the pleasure I obtain tomorrow. I plan and to my plan, I see others planning. They do not plan as I do. The laws of nature will not permit such. But if we combine in thoughts to our action, we can be a benevolent to all plan, we can planoily to use the betterment of our day, I plan and dream. Takeorrow, I enjoy the fruits of my labor. oo Fee GUARD VOUS HBALTE | WV Nw @iee ts rs LAOTIC ter we fe = | ae | Se Bea F CATARRIG Il es Rms op!

Cent. 6887; Nee i * oe PAGE FOURTEEN Colorful News "Movies" Preston News Service Should Supreme Court Advise Courress?— Mr. Solicitor General Beck, of the United States Department of Justice, has come forward with the novel suggestion that the U.S. Supreme Court might increase the value of its services to the good old U. S. A., by advising Congress, from time to time, as to the security of the nation thereby keeping Congress off the rocks of decisive reversal of its own findings. In other words, for instance, the supreme judiciary could inform Congress upon ant-lynching legislation, the application of the Fifteenth Amendment, and sundry matters of national import, as to which pertinent Congressmen, particularly close to the verdant Southland, should report their bids to the Court and respect that they could viyote their pledges to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The significant feature as to the dolls of Congress is that there is a variety of opinion as to what is constitutional. This is evidenced in Congressman Tinkham's former bill which was aimed to cut down representation from the Southland, where Nearcoers have no say in the selection of their next justices, free from public sentiment, have in the end always been able to set Congress straight. To advise Congress in advance of legislation, however, would be a new undertaking. Such a plan would probably be most helpful from a selfish standpoint, and Congressmen sincerely interested in a new freedom for Negroes might give their constituency greater aid than ever before. The plan, though, to our humble mind, hospite our great respect for Soliciter for General Beck, would take away from Congress the opportunity to ask its own intentions as to proposed relation. These intentions are only be fixed by the party of the debile, and nobody is of all the people. Inquiries are the guiding stars of legal solution, and we do not think that the philosophies of judicial minds should be transformed from our highest bench, in advance to the Halls of Congress. I set the doctrine of legal precedents remain indistinct. Eating Beach *Bites* — Drawn in beautiful Washington, the project of a bathing cane for the Capital's colored cane, who hereinafter have shared their way to City or City of Parks, for comfort as well as cleansing purposes, seems to have raised as much fuss as a deck of Killenny cats. In fact, no sooner had Congress appropriated fifty-thousand "iron men" to be expanded for sand, piles and water, than protests begin to pour in upon the War Department and the Department of Public Buildings and Grounds. First, the protest was made that the beach was a "Jim Crow" position, contrary to the written down in Washington as a guide in contrast to the Coney Island, of Lake Michigan, where everything is different so different, than it is down in Washington, urged their Congress not to obey the appropriation for a coated bathing cane. Evidently that protests fell upon barbed ground. Another protest, however, is a different type, has just been placed in the record by which the President of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (white) has declared that mismanish as the drive around the Tidal Pass in New York, it should not be embraced in the world, it should not be embraced in a colored beach chair. It is seen at once that this protest brings to issue some entirely new questions. In fact, it stages a battle between aesthetic beauty on the one hand, and cleaning ambitions on the other had plus whatever cooling qualities the Potomac River may have that is when evered upon a Colored Maduro skin that.

The affair closed by very helpful remarks by the president, Gilbert H depart in peace. In other words, there is plenty of room for more efficient men and women, too, in the way of recognition by the Party; and it ought to be easy matter to obtain more recognition may be favorably considered, without driving to decapitate any of the "affiliates" who go now on the job. What progress will have been made if seven or WELL MAN NEW INVENTION IS DONE AND AHM ALL SET TO SHOOT TO DE MOON WATCH ME FLY! same number of replacements? None. but, if seven or eight additions are made to the faithful efficient folks now on the job, and President, Coolidge's promotion and common sense policies are followed by the brethren in the field, with a resultant increase in job allotments, greater efficiency, greater recognition and increased experience retained at strategic points, then the Race will have gained much in solidarity, progression, and harmony. Now jobs, Please!: A New Luckie Tom's Cabin Believe it or not, not, a new Luckie Tom's Cabin, called "Topsy and Kew" has entered our midst as a member of Harriet Beecher Crow's naval.

She was Duncan Sisters' (white) as "Topsy and Eva," the musical version of Susan Leavers' heroes, at a long run in Chicago, has come fast for another big run in New York. York. He has an appeal which is linked with the tears and shakes of all American life. It is not to be deferred. When it is lost, search for it is made. When it would go, it is held back. When it trapped, this sarcrection is created, this pulsating art is created, this Christian music although deferred at times is here to stay. By all means to money and faith. Samuel Geopers and Negro Labor—Ever since public insult was tendered to Frank J. Farrell, Negri delegate to the October, 1858, Convention of the Knights of Labor, held in Richmond, Va., a labor organization which formed a portion of the parental stock of the American Federation, naught but antipathy thrashed in the overcasts of Negro workers in their attitude toward organized white labor. With much favor of Samuel J. Gempers, late President of the American Federation of Labor, in having negroed Negro Labor has suffered a distinct loss, notwithstanding the industrial differences which still prevail as between - the two racial labor groups. It must be admitted that during his reiim Samuel J. Gompers did sound the call of "Peace" to the black labor, forces of America. The doughty Jewish labor leader could not, our course, control all his subordinate officials, nor could he erase the country-wide prejudice which white man, when he came into its way into the education of the Ameri- cation of Labor, Mr. Gompers did, however, do much to encourage Negro labor to organize; and he was rehement in his protests to local branches of the A. F. of L. which persisted in dealing unjustly with Negro workmen. His sentiments have been put upon record in numerous conferences which issued an invitation to membership, by Negro workers. And his fellow- attitude has been felt by Negro labor leaders have frankly asked for full recognition for their group at the A. F. of L. At the present time, there are ap proximately 165 local Negro unions comprising 6,500 members. At best, this is a poor representation, so far as organized labor is concerned. Negroes comprise one sixth of "America's working masses, and should be given the full privilege of presenting their quota to the A. F. of L. For moreover, the white members of that organization should bottle up their prejudices and realize that the labor interests of one are the labor interests of all. Samuel J. Compore, in his heart, recognized this truth. He practiced it during his long incubancy, and it is to be hoped that his successor in office will carry the program forward, filinizing wide the gates and protecting the virtues of all labor, whether it be white or black. Immigrant Labor African (black) aliens, contained in the immigrant labor group seeking employment in this country, were increased during the period, 1920 to 1924 to over one per cent, as compared with one half of one per cent of the five years prior to the World War. These percentages are plainly indicated by figures which show that during 1920-1924, 578,158 immigrant aliens, a yearly average of 115,632, there was a total inclusion of aliens sought the fields and factories of American production. Of these numbers, there was a total inclusion of 5,622 Negro laborers, a yearly average of 1,324, or about one per cent. During 1910-1914, the total number of immigrant allens admitted was 2,210,481, a yearly average of 442,969. Of these numbers there was a total inclusion of 8,893 Negro laborers a yearly average of 170, or a tremendous percentage cent. Seeking significant conclusions, we face the following indisputable facts: The total incoming immigrant alien labor group suffered the tremendous drop from 2,210,481 during 1910-1914, to 578,158, during 1920-1924; but the Negro content, during that comparative period, only fell from 9,883 to 6,622, and while it fell in quantity, its percentage jumped from one-half to one-third in the ratio of inclusion. The Cape Verde Islands, a Portuguese ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 2, 1925 A meteor streaks across the sky, heading towards the moon. Below, a mountain range rises, with a satellite orbiting above it. possession off the West Coast of Africa, furnished the largest number of admissions. A continuation of this trend reveals significant probabilities. With restricted immigration in force, and American labor holding its own, it is apparent that the rise of native Negro labor may continue its onward march to permanency and advancement. A reduction in the inflow of foreign labor, with a larger percentage of Negro aliens, means a reduced competition with foreign labor, which is of a lower standard and lesser efficiency than American labor. The many helpful programs, which are now being put into effect by American institutions which realize that Negro labor needs to be slowly built up and properly funded. The purpose of which is to place Negro labor in this country upon the same firm feeding that all other labor has so long enjoyed. This is truly constructive and should stimulate the Negroes of the country to put their shoulders to the industrial wheel in such a way as to make the tasks one of far-reaching effect and full of permanent benefits to all concerned. Women's Dilemma A little bird told us that the female centifur of the campaign forces which put over the Republican ticket, last November, are in a dilemma. In fact, it is being whispered 'round that their dilemma may take some of the "move" out of "movement," so far as "aspirations for service" are concerned. This situation is said to be due to the fact that the group of ladies has not made a careful study of what may be available at the pie counter; and that such few "possibilities" as have been uncertified up to this time have instantly become the target of a berry of female assurance, without counsel, of 11. h. and without organization. Added to this meeting point of aspirant activities, the old sectional questions have developed, causing a warmth of feeling here and there, but not of the kind that produces coalition and unity of action. The campaign female folks did excellent work, from Miss Hallg, Q. Brown and Mrs. M. C. Lawton, on down to the humble distributors of "fliers" and "squats" and those who were not amply rewarded in long green and yellow are not to be blamed for seeking fireside seats in the contemplated distribution of "plums." Before this event can be staged, however, the legend of Rudyard Kipling as to the "Female Species" must be pigeon-holoted, and a healthy spirit of co-operation under a well-defined agreement must be put into play. Surely, there's lots of work for the efficient women to seek. For instance, there's educational work relating to the advancement of Negro youth, male and female. There's industrial work of fifty-sixteen varieties. There's health work, under Federal and State posts. There is executive work of varied descriptions. There's miscellaneous field work of many different types. Of all of these any dilemma besetting the faithful women, it ought not to be based upon wonderment as to where to go. Rather, it might be well expended upon the question of how to go. And even this problem could be instantly sweet aside, by honest-to-goodness union and progress. Ladies, our hats will then be off to you; for we wish you success. The natives possess nothing. Thanks to the regalia of despoiling concessions he has been expressly forbidden to own property. The land, conceded to him for the cultivation of corn, maize and other crops, is taken away as soon as the European disembarks. We wish that the property of a native be assured to him. It is necessary that he should have the right to exploit, the land and its resources. Do not forget that the land is his own; that the blood of the black men has conquered distant possessions for France; and that the sweat of Negroes has cleared, ploughed and sowed and fertilized them as it had fertilized that of ungrateful Americas. Do you wish to hear the series of inconsistencies? Senegal has conquered Dahomey, Dahomey has conquered Madagascar. 'If was the black men who conquered Guinea, the Ivory coast, the Sudan and Morocco, and all these conquered people have rushed in throngs to save their conqueror at Charleroi, at the Marne, at Iser, in Champagne, at Verdun, at Chemins de Marne, where at last, at the second Marne, where right justice and liberty which have been systematically denied them.

Negroes of Africa, raise our indignant protestation against the fate of our brothers in America. Shame to those Americans who feign to be civilized, but who have not yet condemned, by aw, the outrage of lynching and who continue to torture 15 millions of our brothers. Let the so-called civilized nations forbid the wholesale trade of Negroes by the purchase and sale of Colonies, after having condemned the slave trade in detail; no more transfer of territories with their inhabitants, as recently affected Denmark. This is the most modern, the most monstrous form of slave trade. Since the label of nationality has been attached to us, we do not wish to change it with every treaty, unless it is to resume our complete independence. We demand respect for the territorial integrity and the national independence of the rare African states, or states of African origin, which still possess their autonomy Abyssinia, Liberia, Haiti, and St. Domingo are striking proofs of the organizing and political genius of Negroes notwithstanding the persistent subjugation by nations eager to conquer. We claim the right to judge and not to be judged. A judicial court should be instituted, and above all, we claim the right to be educated it is necessary to organize compulsory education in the Colonies. The education of the native is the best means of assuring his evolution and his adaptation to European civilization. It is necessary to develop Africa for the benefit of the Africans and not exclusively for the profit of the white man, and to assure freedom of commerce and industry. He hold, in short, the few conclusions the few claims put forward by the natives of the colonies. The problem of the Negro race first came into being in America, by the extermination of the aboriginal Red Skins, then by the transplantation of natives of Africa to fill the void created, and at present it is intertwined with the colonist problem which is its ultimate phase and which is how shown by the absolute negation of the rights to property by Negroes, by the negation of their A civil rights—since their civil personality is not recognized, by the negation of their possibilities of evolution, by deceit, by calumines which induce the world to believe that this race is irremediably condemned to inferiority to stagnate in ignorance, brutality and violence—all which as contrary not to experience, so that you have never attempted in good faith, this now wrong in that faith, now we who have lived with our fathers, our mothers, our brothers, and sisters—we who know that they are also men and women. They have less, instruction, education and adaptation to European civilization but they have kept more than we have the true and solid qualities of which human worth is formed; and we benefit by their conscience, their knowledge and their experience. They have lived in simple surroundings where human sentiments bloom spontaneously. They know nothing of your complications, of your mixed conceptions of life. They understand nothing of your economic cares, of your worries your irritations and your nervous pess. They have kept all the simplicity, all the sweetness, all the joy of life. They are like the fish in that historic and legendary river which descends from the towering St. Gothard to the North Sea—the Rhine-river of glorious waters, you have often made scarlet with your blood. The fishes of the Rhine know not whether they have two or three countries. They live in peace, less wise than they, you have battled for centuries on the two banks of this river, while the simple creatures who live in the depths are disdainful of your quarrels. This is what we do in Africa. We care not whether you have two or three countries, or whether you have none. We only wish that since you have come and conquered us, you should live in peace with each other, and that, we he not always called upon to become your cannon fodder. We wish you to recognize our rights to citizenship—elementary rights of man—and that living your life, suffering your sorrows, and rejoicing in your joys, we might be called upon to share your destiny good or bad, but which we accept sincerely, legally and faithfully. TRUE FRIENDSHIP By Joel M. Lockwood I often wonder if this old world ever produced anything better than loyal friendship, which exists between two men. They never embrace each other when they meet, in fact, that sort of thing is against the laws of etiquette. Very seldom one man who embrace another, unless death has placed one for its sake, there is one thing that we can depend on, that one will stand by the other, no matter what may befall, each can depend one on the other. Don't ever be guilty of breaking friendship. To ruin stamarch friends is an act that is unjustifiable. Let their hearts be light and joyful, not like a beast of prey, ready to devour each other on sight. For old friends are like an antique clock. It is appreciated as long as it exists. Once it is broken, it cannot be repaired, so it is with friendship! It would be a good idea never to handle friendship carelessly, for once it ceases, it is never the same. I often see men whom I have a dint of pity for! They have no thought of admiration or better than their fellow beings, never thinking they are to soil-acrificing, or the horrors and contamination that surround them daily. I will say to those who are fortunate enough to have a friend, do not give up an old friend for a new one. For a new friend is like nectar, but old ones are like a soothing Vintage of France. Friendship is like a sunbeam! There is joy and happiness when it is full of virtue, but it is dark and dismal when it refuses to exist. What good are wealth, fortune and prosperity, if we cannot help a friend. Suppose we should say, "I have no friends!" Oh, what a calamity that would be. Friendship is an inspiration within itself, and makes men more philanthropic. Men have been saved from the depths of degradation in an hour of trial, when disaster and destruction stare him in the face, he is saved by a friend. As Confucious said: "There are three friendships which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Friendship with the upright; friendship with the sincere, and friendship with the man of observation. These are advantages. Friendship with the man of spacious airs; friendship with the insinuatingly soft and friendship with the gibb longing; these are injurious." Some regard: friendship as a small important thing in life. No greater mistake can be made, than that of friendship as a thing. There is a blessing on him who makes friends, for there are many things involved in the gifts of a noble and fascinating friend. We should all regard friendship for what there is in it, and not what is to be gotten out of it. If one weeks friendship for its utility, that is a person who appreciates its value. Two friends take the responsibility of each other upon themselves. If two are really friends nothing can separate or come between them. Some of our friendship is poor, because we have made it so. But the true laws of friendship are amazing and eternal, as one law of nature to the other. The iden of pure friendship is the needs and desires of each other. We do not, build friendship as we build houses, it must be created as God created the world. Would you throw a precious stone away? So must we take a friend as a jewel. For one good-friend is not to be compared with the weight of all the jewels on earth. F. O. B.
