Attempt to disfranchise Oklahoma colored voters met by appeal to Department of Justice, resulted in indictment of election officers. In making public commentary of the N. A. P. report, Secretary James Weldon Johnson said: "The year 1924 the issue which has been emerging in various parts of the United States as paramount for colored people is the most important and residential segregation by color. In 1917 that issue was met by the N. A. A. C. P. before the U. S. Supreme Court, when the decision in the now famous Louisville Case declared that segregation by the State or State Court was the provision of the Constitution. Since then, and especially during the past year, segregation has taken new forms. It has been attempted by private agreement among white landlords, incorporated in documents conveying title to prohibited by the Supreme Court's decision. That has given rise; to a legal contest, in which the N. A. A. C. P. is now engaged, which has run its course through the lower courts of the District of Columbia and has now been appealed to the Court, it is probable it will be heard this age. "Upon the outcome of this case depend similar cases in all parts of the country. Meanwhile the New Orleans branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has defeated, on the basis of the Louisiana decision an attempt to enact municipal and State segregation on the Supreme Court of Louisiana, in the Shatter of school segregation in Laptreaching victory has been won in Convoyville, Kansas, which opens the doors of all major high schools of the state to colored students, whom it had been sought to exclude, in many cases, successfully. Other schools, more recently, in Ohio, New Mexico, California, Indiana, Kansas and Oklahoma." Concerning the decline in the number of lychhings to 16 during 1824, Mr. Johnson cited the report of the state legislature that he started its belief as follows: "We believe that the decrease is due to the publicity given this crime, and the fear of a law by the United States providing for punishment for those who participate and are responsible for lynchings. The publicity that has helped come to Congress favors action on this legislation. The American people generally have been for the first time told the truth regarding lynchings, and that they are not caused by the commission of bounty crimes, except in a small part of the total number lynchings." "Concerning upon the report, Mr. Johnson said:" "This statement from the Co NEGRO CALLED TO DOOR. SHOT Masked Men, After Attempt At Kidnapping Prominent Colored Man, Fire Three Shots Into Body, Killing Him Instantly. Special to the St. Louis Argus CARUTHESVILLE, Mo. Jan. Racial trouble is brewing hourly since the cowardly murdering of a prominent colored man there last week. White men who called him to the door of his house and shot him three times. From the best information obtainable at this time, it seemed that Roxie Beasley, a colored man, had had some trouble with the local farmers about land owning or renting. That was some days ago, when the killing, Beasley was awakened at 1:30 a.m. by a boulding on his door, and when it opened, three white men, masked, asked for Beasley, and when Beasley came to the door he was grabbed and an attempt at kidnapping him was made. He struggled with his as-sailans and a dog he heard. The next morning, Beasley's body was found in the yard. This has greatly excited the colored people of Penicot County and racial feeling is running high. No one seems to be the only one, the self. The general belief, however, is, that it is land owning trouble; the whites trying to keep the Negro cotton planters out of the county. This is said to be a strong force. Quite a number of colored people are planning to move. RENEW EFFORTS TD OUST COHEN Southerners Will Take Matters To U. S. Supreme Court To Test The Right of Negroes' Citizenship WANHINGTON, D.

Pickens NEW YORK, Jan. 7—Reuben Carter, Jr., of 206 W. 148th street, has won $50 in heavy gold, two twenties in silver, and two grandsons in the National Baby Contests conducted by the N. A. A. C. P. The nearest competitor to Reuben Jr., is Vernal Arnold, of Chickasaw, Oklahoma, who received the second prize of $25. There were six prizes in all. But why shouldn't Reuben Carter Jr. win anything? Is not his dad a copy. And more than that, isn't his dad a traffic cop? And more still, he keeps the passage and peace at 135th street and Lenox avenue, which means that he is one of the best Traffic officers on earth, cohesive courage and dignity will win. Reuben oblaked as squirrelly in the face as he closed his tiny fist over the three great gold coins on Christmas Eve, indicates that he is going to be an even greater man than his Daddy. George R. Smith College Wins Inter-State Debate SEDAILA, Mo.

Selfishness first ruins the individual, then the nation. Why is sin so rampant? Lack of faith in the promises of God. Dr. u- sh- led to eat cool M.

The wealth we gather here we leave behind. The character we make we keep, forever. If half the energy which is devoted to social affairs, we give our prayer the would be transformed in five years. Current Events Hello, Mabel. Why how do you feel, Auntie? Very nice, Mabel, and where were you last evening? Now of us, People who are way and widely all the time, and who appear incapable of concentration at any moment, meet with them. Why, I think I must have been at the movies, when you called. See a good picture? Yes, very good and one that taught a great lesson. The picture was both profound and pathetic, but for several reasons, I could not enjoy it, as I should have. What are the reasons, Mabel? Well, in the first place, I sat next to a grown-up, who persisted in reading aloud every word flashed on the screen. Again a large number of the audience laughed out, hilariously, when to any mind, it was the time for silence, until for tears, I heard the widest side of every day life of men and women. Last but not least, I was constantly annoyed by the large number of children present, who talked incessantly when they should have been at home in bed. I am sorry to know this, but I have had similar experiences. I cannot understand why any grown person would be so thoughtless and so lacking in the knowledge of that, which is the one around them. No one can enjoy a picture in the proper way, when one around them is reading aloud and it is absolutely impossible for the one doing it, to get anything out of it. The most pathetic thing to me though is to hear any one laugh at a time when they should be serious. We, as a group, have been accused of failing to see the serious side of anything. I hate to think it, but at times, I am forced to believe that it is true of another Louie E. LeVert, Vassileonia Casey Robert Jones, Maggie Thomas Geo.

Now the matter of the children, has grown to be serious. The parents of these children, are guilty of a grave offense. In the first place, these children, boys and girls, are permitted to attend unaccompanied at any hour. This should not be permitted. I question the right of any women to style herself mother, who will permit a child, as young as 7 years, to walk the streets of St. Louis unaccompanied after dark. I have noticed them, time after time, come in at an hour, when they should have been in bed and have wished so much that I could form the acquaintance of the parents. It is the duty of a parent, especially a mother to be the Censor for her child in the matter of the movies. She should know what he is and know that he is seeing the movies. Instead, they are permitted to seepy and every kind of picture and I have noticed that they are loudly whenever they thing is flashed on the screen that seems the loudest improper. My dear child, this is a most serious thing but I trust this of the guilty parents will read this and begin the New Year by attending with their tots or keeping them at home. The children of today, Mabel, are the men and women of tomorrow, and to be the right sort must have proper training from infancy to manhood. I agree with you. Auntie, but must say, goodbye.

OWENS EDITOR'S NOTES Reading is the nourishment of the mind: for by reading we know our Creator, his works, ourselves chiefly and our fellow creatures. But this nourishment is easily converted into nolson. Let us read with method and propose to ourselves an end to which studies may then lead, in ignorance often diagranes great readers; who, by skipping hastily and irregularly from one subject to another render themselves incapable of combining their knowledge, and knowledge can not form a whole. This inconsistency weakens the dangers of the mind, creates in it a dislike to application and even robs the advantages of natural good. Yet, let us avoid the contrary exe- tremo and respect method without rendering ourselves its slaves. While we propose an end in our reading, let not this end be too remote; and when once we have attained it, let our attention be directed to a differen- t subject; and let our attention be directed to a long and exclusive application to a single object hardware, and contracts it. We ought; besides, to be careful to make the order of our thoughts subservient to that of our subjects; this would be to sacrifice the prince of the world, to sacrifice the reading is to aid us in thinking. I wish to pursue these ideas; they withdraw me from my proposed plan of reading, and throw me into a new track and from thence, perhaps. In the end, I will begin to perceive whether my researches tend. Their result, perhaps, may be profitable; it is worth while to treat whereas, had I followed the road, should I not follow the road, should my journey, to retrain the progress of the thoughts I had in mind. The plan of reading is not applicable to our early studies, since the severest method is scarcely sufficient to make us conceive objects at all. We must adopt by those who read in order to write, and who ought to dwell on their subject until they have sounded its depths. These reflections, however, I do not absolutely believe that they are just, that they may be so, perhaps for myself only. The constitution of minds differs like that of bodies; the same regimen will not suit all. Each individual ought to study his "Well," said Jerry, "I never could understand white people so I stopped trying./Here you are harping on my country and our country and my duty towards it. Have you ever stopped to think that it is only in odore E. Burton of Ohio written the N. A. A. C. P. expressing his willingness to insist upon Congressional action and the N. A. A. C. P. Secretary it in constant communication with the Governor of Louisiana on the Houston Martyrs Campaign. Mr. Johnson said: "The Houston Martyr" campaign, carried on by the N. A. A. C. P. ever since the riot of 1917, and given a strong impulse at the 11th Annual Conference at Kansas City, with the 1917 signed with 125,800 names, and presented to the White House in Febuary, bore fruit. Twenty of the former members of the 24th infantry, who had been condemned to life or long imprisonment, have been released and are now in Lawrence will be eligible for parole not later than 1928, according to present indications." In the matter of legal defense the N. A. A. C. P. reported that 476 appeals for aid had been received from various parts of the country during the year. Two persons were saved by Luther Collins, condemned for alleged assault in Texas, whose case was several times appealed, once resulting in a hung jury, the penalty being finally reduced to life imprisonment. The case was appealed to the court of highest jurisdiction in Texas. The other case is that of Elias Rique, 13-year-old boy, condemned to death in Oklahoma, whose sentence has been reduced to life imprisonment. Publicity The Association, a Press Service sent out 440 releases in 1924 as compared with 339 in 1922 and 279 in 1921. The copy of the N. A. A. C. P.

Art and Literature In the cause of presenting the Negro's case to the American public, three new books and an annual publication have come from members of the N. A. A. C. P. staff. The new books are two novels, "The Fire in the Flint" by Walter White, now in its fourth edition, and "There Is Confusion" by Jessica White, by Dr. W. E. B. Palphus.

FRIDAY, JAN. 9, 1925 time of war that such a thought enters 'our head!' In times of peace you lynch us, burn us, shook us and cause us to suffer every horror imaginable. Yet you speak of my duty to wield my country. Do you think most militant with the justice? It so it is quite truly, said that no two persons think alike.

"It surely isn't due to your boundless mercy, I wow. Well, I won't fight, until I am drafted. You can call me a slacker if you wish, but if it were in my mind you can stop from enlisting. Another thing, why did you wait so long before you decided to let Negroes fight? Saw you were getting beat, didn't you? Don't you know that you won the ones you lost, not that we can't get along without you. You decided to let it be a Lily-white war in the beginning so why not let it be a Lily-white war to the end.

Sunday evening, a public session of the convention was held at the Abbasian Baptist church at which time an address was given to the Field Alumni Secretary of Howard University, and a member of the fraternity. A *unique feature of the Sunday program* was the holding of open house by various brothers residing in New York City to receive men and visiting friends in an informal way. Dr. E. P.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Jan. 7.—Talking about one's self is not nice taste; but your indulgence is solicited, for that is about the most convenient manner in which we can tell about some interesting folks and happenings. After our modest efforts at Chicago, we have been prevalent in the homes of the average fellow, we hailed forth, to a week of enjoyment. The three hundred cards, from people in all branches of the show business, and in all walks of life, some from very high places, filled on horseback, and others in A. a few visiting little folks among them the little eastern child actor, Alvin Adams, and his brother and the sister, started matters. Then to the Public School 83, where in Red Fee, we, with others, had holiday toys to a thousand school children. That night, the famous Blacat Dance where William Vodery, Allie Ross, Willie Tyler and the sixteen others' who compose the orchestra with Florence Mills show, played for Miss Mills and almost all of her company were among those present. "Descogn" Walter Jackson failed to show, up, but sent his credentials. Seems that he stayed in his drug store waiting a call from Illustrator Potentate Katherine Coffield, a homeowner, any minute to act as reception committee to a new arrival there. Friday, we rested. Oh, yes. Wilson the trombonist called. So did Jack Copeland, otherwise the day was uneventful. Saturday, Bill Pottor, erstwhile Editor of Musical America, came to New York and visited 'the License Bureau, where he obtained a perfectly legal permit to marry.

Mrs. Young, with whom she resides, tendered the young lady and her enhanced a reception in honor of the announcement and as "Pope" to the concerted part of the party, that wished them well.

From there to Thomas and Hattie Baldwin's Colonial Coffee House on Bedford road, Pleasantville beyond White Plains where a fine dinner is intended for the elect of the earth, and the Place just sort of happened to gase in this once. There was an into another party— All of whose male members ha- ppeled of the Counselor and guess who they were. Sassah! It was Robert Davis Brooks, "The Gardener "transiently famed in the Rhin- lander wedding matter that he recorded to the papers.

Home, James. To the office on the day following where still more Xmas greetings from far off St. John, Vienna lays U. S. A. and off for Taupe. And again, a surprise, Instructions to the inaugural Ball at Albury on Wednesday. For this we thank the Representative. We acknowledge That was a busy day at the office. Besides attending the routine things connected with holding the job, we had a call from Dorothy Bahl, for a colored actor of the highest type of dramatic ability to play the part of a doctor who has a lot of experience to help the casting office, and we learn that Louis Schooler will appear in the part. Then there was William Hale, manager of the Demi-Virgin company, Felix Biel, the big press agent who is promoting George the myra-horned dog from central America. His big production may be seen in the colored houses soon. Doc Oyler, the Pennsylvaniaian who is trying to look like a cowboy in a new Stetson, but who is a man in a military uniform he may be may be attired, favored us with a call. James Baker, railroad man and fraternal fellow from Kansas City, who is visiting the metropolis with his wife and children in night and who knows all my old companions of railway days gave us the "Ones Over" and we visited points of interest in Times Square. Then Bert Goldberg, head of Svenen's company, went into the Winner and Vincent houses in Pennsylvania for five weeks. Tiny Ray comes in to tell us that William Petway has replaced Chas. Woods in the Three Elders act with Billy Watson's Bulexou show. The Gaines Brothers from New Orleans came in too, for a few minutes, and Copeland and Jones who were on the way to the Standard Theatre, just about everybody in the theatrical and festival circles, who has had occasion to handle printed matter has seen that fine mechanic work that bears the inscription "The Haley Press." Well, besides being a cracker-business man, Mr. Gaines has business person too, are quite silute. They, too, had a party during the week. About forty people, most distinguished of whom was Matthews Henson who accompanied Admiral Peary to the North Pole. He may have been a friend of Mr. Gaines and ice with pleasure but even the handsome group of choir singers from Abysinian church, could not tempt him into taking chances on Mrs. Haley's reception room floor. But then, Matt is getting a bit old. A Miss Hicks, concert artist and musician, was a friend of the musicians that were remarkably well rendered. Then to Prof. Lawrence Freeman's to a New Year's party in honor of Valdo, the business man of the Opus Dei, who is a birthday co-invented with that of Father Time. These folks being real Bohemian in their tastes spread some party, and the guests whose big in the show world are many. The Page was booked to attend the Mummers' parade, the spectacular Philadelphia New Year's affair; but Friend wife could not see our spolling the otherwise quiet response to many years of obedience to Mrs. Gabrielle Jackson, we go to work instead, thus welcoming the New Year as has been our habit. Oh well, some day we will have a chance to get about a bit.

'OLD BLACK JOE' FADING FROM SHIFTING SCENES DALLAS, Tex. Dec. 11. The constant drainage of the Negro population of Texas to northern quarters is said by Henry B. Smithon, Baton Rouge agricultural, to have compiled the necessity of employing the labor of the plantations of the state. "The replacement of Negroes with Mexicans is due to the desire of the modern, Negro for work in factories and industrial plants," he said. Due to a steady migration of cotton belt Negroes to industrial areas, the development has developed an acute labor shortage in the southern states of the Union. —Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, he pointed out, perhaps have lost more heavily of Negro labor than an of the South. The development has to have migrated from the south.

To do this, we must have safe and wise leadership; not the kind that merely moves along the lines of least resistance, in an apologetic way, but the kind that is tempered with zeal for the deliverance of this people—the kind that nuts the people's interest above self. 1924 brought wonderful advancement for the race, especially in politics. 1925 may determine what this advancement will mean to us.

Barrett, former Attorney, has made a very good suggestion and adequate laws of this state to punish the law into their own hands to me one for alleged commission of a crime, can always, as a rule, find one member of the person of the sheriff, who is more the fact. Just a simple law calling for a sheriff, who allows the mob to take if a penalty on the county in which the mob up lynching parties in this state po do not doubt but that when one sheriff is realized, mob law will be gone to stay, such a bill, and use his influence to secure it will be successful in this, the 5th Missouri Legislature. We think that Hon. Jesse W. Barrett, former Attorney General of this state, has made a very good suggestion as to the crying need of adequate laws of this state to punish members of mobs who take the law into their own hands to mete out mob justice to any one for alleged commission of a crime. The state can always, as a rule, find one member of a mob, and that is in the person of the sheriff, who is more or less an accessory before the fact. Just a simple law calling for summery removal of a sheriff, who allows the mob to take a prisoner from him, and a penalty on the county in which the sheriff holds office, will break up lynching parties in this state post haste. There is no doubt but that when one sheriff is removed, and the county penalized, mob law will be gone to stay. If Mr. Barrett will draw such a bill, and use his influence to get it passed, we are quite sure it will be successful in this, the 53rd General Assembly of the Missouri Legislature. ANOTHER STEP FORWARD seen, for the second time, a member of our seat in the law-making body of this Waltham M. Moore was not quite the man in 1921, when he first was elected to his colleagues seemed to accept his position a matter of course rather than their own minds, marks another step forward in Missouri, but throughout the country he of other races are not used to seeing Norris and trust as other men and women. The more they see members of our race, rating themselves like gentlemen and ladies, command the esteem and respect of other, because of his race, will be in a post service to the state and, incidentally, the expression of our hopes and aspiration of that law-making body can be. All before, be justly proud to see him there at We have seen, for the second time, a member of the colored race occupy a seat in the law-making body of this state. We noticed that Walthall M. Moore was not quite the curiosity in 1925 that he was in 1921, when he first was elected as state representative. His colleagues seemed to accept his presence as a law-maker as a matter of course rather than their attitude four years ago. This, to our minds, marks another step forward for the race, not only in Missouri, but throughout the country, because men and women of other races are not used to seeing Negroes hold places of honor and trust as other men and women. It is quite natural that the more they see members of our race in these places, conducting themselves like gentlemen and ladies, the more it is bound to command the esteem and respect of others. Mr. Moore, because of his race, will be in a position to render a peculiar service to the state and, incidentally, to his people. He will be an expression of our hopes and aspirations as no other member of that law-making body can be. All the people should, therefore, be justly proud to see him there at this time.

This report shows a remarkable spirit of sacrifice and devotion on the part of the members in their efforts to serve the state from a racial viewpoint. Information, concrete information backed up by facts, is what the state wants concerning the Negroes. The Commission is the proper agency through which this information can be had. It is the duty, therefore, of the In a train wreck out West recently, it seems that a desperate struggle was made to save life. The white people forgot they were white and the colored forgot they were colored. All were reduced to a common level. It reminds us of the saying: "A touch of the power of God makes all human beings akin." Where we all can join in, both Democrats and Republicans,—as a solid phalanx for better educational advantages for all the children of the state, regardless of race, creed or color. Don't be deceived, the Ku Klux Klan is still fighting for place and power, and once enthroned, Lord help us. A little less of self and a little more for the race, on the part of some of the world-be leaders, would go a long way toward solving our problems. The past is gone forever; the present is past before we can announce it, the future is darker than midnight—so where are we? There was doubtless something "rotten" about that Motlow trial. The public continues to condemn the outcome of it. Sure Phil Brockman has made a good Police Commissioner. Let the crowd say, "I Say So." The latest announcement is, that if Mayor Kiel doesn't run mayor, this year, Director of Public Welfare, Nelson C. Cunliff will. Henry has an eye for business; hold the office, or name the man. Don't be sure that you are going to do the other fellow; there are others who are figuring on doing you. It makes little or no difference whether the sheriff of Mississippi County or his deputies with him, are able to identify any members of the mob that lynched a Negro boy in Charleston recently. The outstanding fact in the case is that neither of them did their full duty in protecting the life of their prisoner. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 9, 1925 Praises. Argus For Fruding Motlow's Criminal Record We are pleased to note that the Censor published by Geo. C. Dyer has, and is still turning light on the famous or infamous Lon Mulot Last week, the Censor cites the fact that it was the St. Louis Argus that dug up and exposed the crime and also cites the fact that Circuit Attorney Sidener failed to do his duty in the prosecution of the case. Under the caption "Lem Motlow as Grace, Infamy," the Censor of the story says, "Every day adds a new chapter of shame and disgrace to the history of the notorious Lem. Motlow case. All things considered, what could be more right indecent than the sending by Motlow of a Christmas turkey to every member of the jury that acquitted him? It was not as bad, of course, as the gifts before the verdict was rendered, but to a great many people, it is still "payment" or discharge of obligation under which Motlow access to have considered himself the victim of the gifts charged their duty, it was an insult to confer a benediction on them. If they did not discharge their duty, the bestowal of such gifts was in the nature of a proclamation that Motlow had been the victim of the gifts and were entitled to reward for so failing. "But that is the least of the features of shine that have developed, in the issue of the Globe Democrat of Tuesday, December 23, there, appeared a long statement in which Alain Aitken said that he blundered in not developing at the triln the fact that Motlow had several times been under indictment for violations of the law in Tennessee, and had twice been convicted and sentenced to jail terms. Mr. Motlow is a lame—and halting, one He blames Judge Hamilton for not fights during the fact that Motlow was—and is—under indictment in St. Louis for alleged connection with the theft of whiskey from the jack Daniels distillery warehouse. At the same time, he said he did not learn anything about the convictions in Tennessee. Sidener Admits>Failure "It is difficult to understand how a putative lawyer can continue to hold the office of public prosecutor, when he is forced to make such confession. One of the very men who rushed to the front as a character, witness for Motlow, and declared him to be a great and good citizen, was the covering of the time Motlow was convicted, and came to the rescue of Motlow with an executive pardon. Slidener did not discover that—admits he made no effort to discover it—until the matter, was uncovered long after the trial of Motlow. The actual trial lasted over a week. The Motlow was covered in a courtroom since the perpetration of the case. Why were not the taste delved into, and the record of the killer uncovered. **Argus Digs up Record** *A feature of the case is the position in which the St. Louis daily papers make this plain, let us trace the alleged "discovery" of Motlow's record backward*. The Globe-Democrat printed the story with Sidney's admission on December 23. Tuesday, the G.D. is continuously boasting of why it did not send a special correspondent to Tennessee home and, dig up his record? There was abundant time for this between the perpetration of the killing and the trial of the killer. Why did not the Globe-Democrat over this record until after the St. Louis newspaper printed it on Monday, December 22. The G.D. had the audacity to steal it from the Star. Why did not the Star, at some time between the killing and the trial, send a man to dig up Motlow's record. The paper is very boastful of journalistic enterprise. Why did not the newspaper print until after the St. Louis Argus, a weekly paper, printed the whole story on Saturday, December 29? Why did the Star steal the story from the Negro publication and print it two days after it had been printed in the whole matter over, and try to uncover a lovely hunch of journalistic sloths afflict St. Louis. Naturally the question must arise where rests the chief blame for this failure to uncover Moltow's record? Was it just lack of enterance? Was it deliberately done? There is no circumstance for failure in his public duty; he draws a large salary for doing exactly the thing he did not do in this case. But the daily papers claim to serve the public, and proclaim that he was to be instruments of justice. Were he to appear at the switch? If so, what kind of dope was administered to them, and who administered it? Defends Howard Sidener THE MOTLOW GASE St. Louis, December 30, 1924 Editor St. Louis; Argus: Dear Sir, In your issue of the week of December 15, 1924, you ran an editorial under the caption, "Who is the lone In The Moltow Case?" On the ground of your statements to me of your desire to have the St. Louis Argus stand for truth, honor, fairness and justice. I am taking this means of pointing out portions of the article in question, to show that those of those much desired principles, i. e. "fairness and justice," the Circuit Attorney is "charged with failure to properly handle the case" and not look up and present to the jury the Court, the criminal record of Leo Moltow." A man under the laws of our country has been arrested for a criminal record that is readily available to police department, until he has been an inmate of some penal institution and is now free to be beade. Under the system of tracing the criminals of this country, the police department maintains an identification bureau in which it keeps records and photographs of criminals from all parts of the world, and the records in this department are kept on all parts of the world, it is possible for human memory to keep them. When an information is issued, or an indictment returned against a man, it happens to be my duty to immediately write the police to ascertain whether de or not the person charged with the petor criminal record. This procedure is followed in the case, and the reply to my letter stated that there was no record against Motlow in the bureau. The conviction of Motlow in his home town of Bristol passes away or a manufacturer and the reply to my letter considered a crime by some of the "best blood" of the south, as was evidenced by the manner in which he was enologized by some of that so-called man well as by the proud pension granted him by the then governor of his home state. While the Court records no doubt show the conviction and affirmation of that conviction, the prison records do not show that he ever sent ten minutes behind the bars, and a jury is protected by the presumption of innocence that the prison doing power has refused him relief. The office of the Circuit Attorney is dependent upon the police department for its record of criminals brought to bar for the first time, and the police department is dependent upon the cooperation of police departments of other cities, but please bear in mind that Lem Motlow is a "southern gentleman," and not condered a criminal in Lynchburg. Tonn. It is much easier to charge a man with crime than it is to prove the ability. It is much easier to� to prereligious that it is to perform. Your editorial further states that the present condition was very bad, unperceived for the case in question. This statement goes too far by way of allegation, and not far enough by way of proof. If your informant, who received his information from others, was sincere at heart, he would have called at the office of the Circuit Attorney and learned the facts first hand, and the facts as they are, would have made different reading. In all fairness editorials reflecting upon public officials should not be written upon theory but upon truth and facts as described by careful investigation, and to in this connection I beg to genial you that the records in the office of the Circuit Attorney, and all information to which other newspapers are entitled, is open. Respectfully, Louis Argus, GEORGE T. JONES Deputy Circuit Attorney MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURE By RICHARD JACKSON How are colored citizens methodically towards theatrical art and just what has it to offer them. This rather tense question as fairly stated and irrelevant to the subject is how much weight heavily on the conscience of all those everyday philosophers of life, who are enthusiastic advocates of the proper modes of living. Wear your rubbers, put on your heavy clothing, wear a dress, get married, a thousand other such dents and do's are the daily drums that compass the life of the usual "hog-died" human who wonders after a lifelong which a living as an artist is. There is a wonderful, beautifully illuminated. There is little room for the twentieth century mind to turn to pondering and meditating on the true value and worth of a given situation, the cheerful old heartbeat the friendly day pipe. The solution now-a-day is simply follow the leader to such an extent that most channels of public information are becoming intensely didactic. So it is that the innocent readiness of the young to per chance through a real interest, or per chance through a real interest, the beginning of the column and continued to read, can feel that he is within the realm of the modern legibility and thus can be considered for the writer's views. Theatrical art is not altogether a new thing with the Negro for one can trace, the presence of outstanding colony-servants, the late J.R. Williams being about the most familiar figure with the present generation. The Negro's relation to theatrical work has undergone a revolution in the past decade and has become an incipient to his interest an importance in theatrical art. Today one finds him starting in every form of play, from light consuls to tense troupes, from theatrical to theatrical. Paul Robeson and Charles Glinp, the latter who will appear here soon, be brilliant exponents. The colossal pageant, as has been demonstrated by the successful production of the exhilaration of the achievement of the Negro on the stage. Continuing to the old old home town, one finds a favorable situation for the development of a wonderful center of education. This advantage there is a drive lack of initiative of the part of the citizens to negotiate for such. It has been well established that the city has within its bounds considerable unusual charity fostered and catered to, would give St. Louis one of the grandest mediuma for a broad and substantial development of its manhood and womanhood, obviouse start for a colored citizen to meet the needs of a drama they must have a local company or companies of their own, capable of producing such, for it is impossible to obtain qualified troops to meet all desire, so scarce they are and so great the demand. Of course the problem of adequate facilities for the carrying on of such an enterprise is securing good conditions. Bliss is where the colored citizens could play their part by building and operating community theatres. The collapse of such plan, here several years ago, of Jesús most likely, for it is as Mark Anthony said. Let us hope, however, that the ruler of Mrs. Horton's plans for a stately theatre will not he be another bubble and that there shall be a new era of prosperity in the realm of Negro dramatics in St. Louis as well as over the entire country. *Ak* for the benefits of the theater in the region, the contribution of a great English Dramatist, Laurence Irving who died several years ago. Mr. Irving made the following lecture on the *Benefit of the Theatre to Society* to a body on modern theatre. "There is no doubt that the stage presents, in common with every human impulse and every human activity, a power for civil in closest proximity to its power for good. One sees how a theater can enter into a love oride glory and conquest, how khnillness of disposition may gradually sink into a more lazy toleration; how purity of conduct often leads to a hard self-righteousness and how one a family gradually shrink into a narrow exclendiveness. "Thus in the theatre, as in every other art, we must keep our camps burning, so that when the cleaning fire of high passionate dramatic work or the pure clear flame of hectic comedy is again offered to us as it was in the days of Shakespeare and the days of Moliere, we may as actors, then find ourselves at the most finish of our art—fire diction, clear conjunction, appropriate gestures, elegant facial play—the renascent genius of our writers. "I say there is every sign of prevalence of a more lovous a more grace free art, and our clybe and social life is fully bound up between our living and our rising art article environment—Only as we move forward along the path of social amelioration—that path that shall once for all dislodge the false animations of races and nations, which shall found distinctions and not of birth, which shall teach science to follow its salutary labours without tormenting the bodies of our humbler fellow-creatures—that is when a soobberian is amenable to the kindness of cannibalism, to violence, wilfulness and other excesses of the harrurious side—when the divine touching of Christianity as regards to our contact with another, and with the animals of the animal world; when the shalt have made our material progress what it should be a source of wise peace of lightness and of increased protection for the Dulce of Art whose service has been very beautifully described by the Hildegoe lion: Tangue: "My heart is full and I feel that hardiness is simple like a meadow flower, and crush it; we jump upon it in our murid pursuit and mist it forever."

RAJAH PRATAP TO TEACH NEW RELIGIOUS CREED NEW YORK, Jan. 7. - Bajah Mahmoud Mehrarel Patiens entered this country from Europe last week, bringing with him a faith which he calls the religion of faith, which he has traveled all over the world when he was a child, and now hopes to establish it in America. The religion of love as presented in this book is one free from any taint of the religion of hate. The children of one common father and were meant to dwell upon the earth in love and at peace with each other. One especially interesting feature about the religion is that they quarrel with any other branch of religion. He teaches that the cause back of all religion is the same, that is, every one was founded to make happiness, therefore it is necessary that one should have anything against the other. COLORED CATHOLICS FORM NATIONAL ORGANIZATION WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 7.—A recent enactment of the National Catholic Welfare Council here is dedicated to the work of the organization of the United Catholics of the United States, binding together over 50,000 Negro members. The purpose of the organization is to bring about a close relation and better feelings among all Catholic Negroes. The Negro Catholic education throughout the Negro population, and to raise the general church status of the Negro to a larger participation in racial and civic affairs. Representatives participating in the national organization were principally from the Catholic Knights of St. John. MEHILINGER, Miss, Jan. 7—Another victim was added to the recent wave of lynching that resulted in the death of a 15-year-old boy in Nashville and a 20-year-old man in Charleston, Mo., where James E. Mehlinger, prominent planter and merchant, was instantly killed here. Mehlinger was standing in his store with his father, when a group of armed, white men came, up and fired through the windows, killing him instantly and killing them. No nothough could be given for the crime, and no arrests were made. Mehlinger's body was shipped to Washington for burial. He is survived by one brother, Capt. Louis R. Mehlinger, an assistant attorney in the Federal Department of Washington, his father and wives, wife and three children; and a sister, Mrs. Mayme C. White, a teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia. Rosenwald Fund Aided The Building Of 560 Negro Schools In South In 1924 NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 7—Five hundred and sixty-neighborly Negro schools were built in 1924 by the aid of the Julius Rosenwald fund at the school in Nashville, and were furnished last Tuesday by Sr. E. Smith of Nashville, general agent for the fund, which was founded by the Chicago philanthropist. This total of $666 cost $2,600,000. The $54 built in 1923 at a cost of $2,246,000. Mr. Rosenwald bears 20 per cent of the cost of building these schools. They are being erected on an average of three each day in the four months of the philanthropy was founded by the wealthy Jewish merchant of Chicago in 1917. ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 7—A lay coll, Pete Green, which less than 2 years ago was thrown in a deal at a vol- monary remuneration of five cents, was sold for $3,700 here by Walter Candler, a local horseman.

See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper Copyright, 1924 The curfew of Time tolls the knoll of another painting year. Looking backward, the record is filled with days of Clementine achievements, which serve to mark a new era in development, and give permanent imprint for a much larger program in 1925. Colored America is finding himself the sleeper waker! The next decade may usher in the millennium, but everywhere there are new visions of opportunity and progress, and to these news days is to be added here in America, a measure of good will that even the outlist of five-years ago would have hosted to prophesy. America's Mind The midst of America has long brought to it new pictures of racial life. These pictures have been presented in many different ways, and from all sections of the country. The white mind is discovering the black mind. The discovery has aroused two divisions of white people; those who would bear down with the heel of oppression, and those would see good judgment and even safety for national existence in the light of red torches by meeting out justice, fair and square, to all people under the folds of the stars and stripes. The oppressor has had a long day, and now retires to give place to common sense. Organizations Colored America is better organized than ever before. Interlocking, group leadership is proving effective, and it is a wellknown fact that the time is here when Colored America can send an effective message from one end of the nation to the other in twenty-four hours through various organized bodies. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People remains the most potent civic organization. The Association, intelligently offered has sought more than ever to reflect the will and aspirations of the people, and plead their cause before the bar of public opinion. There has been some bold criticism concerning the political activities of association officers, but these officers maintain that as individuals they have the right to exercise personal preferences, and that the organization, as such, is never used for political party preferences. Thoughtful leadership throughout the country agreed that the Association has a well defined purpose to solve in behalf of the people, and that it is to the distinct advantage of the general public to continue loyal support. The National Negro Business League held its twenty-fifth anniversary, or Silver Jubilee in Chicago, in August. This was not only the dargest attended session but the most constructive. Final reports were heard from the committees organizing the National Negro Finance Corporation, a $1,000,000 institution for relief of racial business enterprises in times of distress, and to encourage the growth of this financial organization recently held a very successful session in Durham, N. C., where the home offices are located, and the results of this session will be seen in the coming events of 1B23. The National Urban League, in another sense, acts as a junction between the two racial groups largely in industrial and welfare matters. This organization because of the nature of its work is confined for the most part to activities in large centers of population. It serves these centers well in adjustments, better understanding and organizing new opportunities. The contacts in these respects have proved invaluable. The Negro Saheedin, Dr. Kelly Miller, president, held a session in Chicago in February. This meeting was the result of numerous conferences by the representatives of a number of national organizations and other leaders. It was well attended and representative of the present day viewpoint of the majority in Colored America. The report to the country forms a basis of action, it carried out, that will put the group in a fair light before the world, and will open up new fields of opportunity and innovative efforts that will be of interest to the nation. After action of Saheedin and many had hoped but Dean Miller has recently informed the Associated Negro Press that activities are well in the making. Mutual understanding and unity of action will give power to the growth of any people. Colored America is ready for a large degree of both. There are many other organizations, including the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, the National Medical Association, the National Recreational Society, that are each year proving their increased desirability to the racial group. They are not more paper cuties than blacks, latinos, and they are well organized, functioning boileries giving vital assistance to a people's development. sporting pages, but the daily press has not yet measured up in the proper recognition, except in prize fights. The Wills-Erloe light, for example, had wide newspaper publicity, but the National-Negro Baseball World Series which brought together thousands of people from all over the country, was practically ignored in the daily press. Rube Foster, great baseball figure, states that more than $150,000 has been spent in admissions during the last four years of organized racial baseball. Each year more than 30,000 people attend "The Howard-Lincoln baseball classic," either in Washington or Philadelphia, going to the game from all sections of the United States. Number of successful auto-makers given this year under Colonel Garnett in the field of sport Colonial America can furnish plenty of entertainment and plenty of class wherever the opportunity is given, and the Negro is taking advantage of prejudice in managing his own activities. In some cases Jewish and Italian promoters have caught the job ideal. Erection of Buildings The year 1921 is outstanding for the construction of new buildings by租借 capital, and by co-operative capital for the advantage of Colored American progress. These buildings range all the way up to one story high. The last of the magnificent Knights of Pythia building now in course of erection in Chicago at a cost of more than $1,250,000, to the National headquarters of the Knights of Pythias is the most protracted commercial structure ever undertaken by the Colored people. The greatest contractors and laborers are Colored. The Elks in New York, the EKL and Maury laborers in Chicago, the Woolworths of Union and Knight of Pythia in Hot Springs, the Masons and Royal Circle of Chicago, have recently completed, or have under construction other large structures. Many universities and colleges have erected new buildings; there has been recently, no end to the creation of religious edifices. In the matter of new church structures, New York leads with the Abberdian Parish, St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal and Mother Zion M. A. M. Lee, he concluded in 1910 that a figure in admiration of $1,210,000. There has been a decided increase in the construction of individual homes and apartments in cities. Political Development Colored America has had an unusual year of political activity. In a national way, all of the big parties including the Democratic, sought to get the vote of racial citizens. The manner in which these votes were sought discloses a new day, politically, for the race. President Calvin Coolidge has been mutually active in trying to prove that he is president of all the people. He has counselled with Colored leaders from all sections of the country, and his attitude of fairness has been reflected in the public expressions he has made from time to time. The nomination of a Republican member for Congress in the election of a Municipal Judge, the election of a state Senate and four members of the House of Representatives in the legislature of Illinois, are outstanding achievements. Ohio, New York, West Virginia, and Massachusetts, are other states electing members of the legislature. William C. Matthews and his associates, who directed the recent Republican campaign, have prepared a group of seventeen requests to work out for racial advancement during the coining administration of President Coolidge. These subjects of request have created nation-wide comment, the most of which has been favorable and optimistic. Some have claimed that they are too pretentious but the general opinion seems to be in line with Emerson's urge to "Hitch your wagon" to a star. "Larger-political participation everywhere is the prospect for Colored America." Karen Rubery In private comment, a white business man wrote to a member of the great Nexro group, asking what the Nexro group most is a great salesman one who will sell the race to the Nexro. "When this is done, watch his smoke." That is regarded as a fine suggestion and likewise. It is believed there should be another great salesman, one who will sell the Nexro to the white people of America. With in the race, salesmen are being developed and there seems to be a finer understanding today of the achievements of the race than ever before. There is yet much to be done. The results are being disclosed in the extensive publicity engaged in by lead salesmen. They are their advertising matter, and the wise realization that money expended for publicity is an investment and not a charity. Great national advertisers have discovered almost a virgin field in Negro business. Persisal of the Colored newspapers will disclose that national advertisers who a few years ago actually laughed at the possibility of black business, are now expending thousands of dollars a year in one-ingage it. Colored Americas, in practically every title of productive business has proved to an excellent patron, with more money that it was thought it had to expend for the necessities, as well as amenities of life. The tone of the advertisements, with illustrations, has greatly improved. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JANUARY 9,1925 of the treasury, there has been a splendid increase in the type of the newspapers. This development is being noticed by white publishers and editors. The city editor of one of the largest daily newspapers in the world-wrote the following to a member of A. N. P. staff recently: "Let me congratulate you and your associates on the big strides you are making in good journalism." The author of these lines is Robert M. Lee, editor of the Chicago Tribune. A number of the big dailies of America have Colored men, and women, on their editorial staff. The race has not yet redefined the progress in magazine publishing that it has in newspaper publishing. There are a number of magazines, the two most widely read being the Crisis and the Opportunity. These are well printed, but are primarily official organs of organizations. Magazine publication is expensive and must be supported by advertising. It is believed that that day is not far away for Colored America. The big magazines of the country have turned toward Colored American subjects both in fiction and narrative. The fiction, from a racial viewpoint, has been good, but and different. It has been difficult to present the true racial viewpoint and if he were able, his product would not appeal to the editor—and after all, it is a guttter of money rather than sentiment. There have been many books this year dealing with the Negro. Sales of this class of literature, by authors of both races, have been constantly on the increase. Music-The Great Soul Force There are those who believe that music is to be one of the great forces in bringing about fair recognition of Colored America. This belief is based on experience and concerto facts. Music has always been a power in moving hearts of men, nowhere it has been more influential than in the music of Colored America. From the early history of America, down to the present, Colored musicians of varying ages have made an impact on the fancy of white America and have produced a feeling of trapped that has been of lasting benefit. In recent years this musical consideration has held range all the way from jazz to grand opera, from the blues singer to Roland Hayes and Marion Anderson. It has found listeners in the sympaptosed orchestras, that see the blood tingling, and the feel to pruning to the famous military bands and orchestras that have been able to put a touch of soul in their conditions that send people back to their homes before Tar having heard them. We are only starting, so, leading directors of America like Will Volody, T.C. Smith, Ford Dabney, H. Lawson, Simmey Stewart, and others. These men are important musical development that is most important. Added to these are Sissie and Place Harry Burleigh, Will Mar尔 Cook, Pauline James, Mrs. the Johnson brothers, Dett, Tibbs, Mrs. Three, and more than one thousand others varying fields of constructive musical development. Music has a very distinct hold of possibilities. Labor Couriers All Things In the field of labor, Colored America continues to be a factor in practically all sections of the country. The field is tightening add there is a demand for more efficiency but there does not seem to be a let-up in the opportunity for development. This is due first, to the law on immigration, and second, to the increase of presses which calls for more workers, migration from the Southland in 1925, but a further migration will be on a different basis than heretofore. The South is earnestly striving to dissipate the arguments against migration especially to the citizen, and on the subjects of education, poor municipal facilities, and social injustice. The interracial movements of the South have been very helpful in broadcasting this new spirit of toleration and larger opportunities. The developments are all the more remarkable in the invisible efforts of immigrant workers to遵照 the people of both nations to work in harmony. There are many who have the courage of their confidences, however, and their ideas are reflected in a larger spirit of good will. Colored America has never taken over kindly to labor unions, as a group and in this respect the workers are very largely in a state of marking time, with the majority of laborers not members of any union. Farming Standards Improving Farms owned or leased, by Negroes have been a big subject for years, especially in the South. There are some emphatically successful farmers in the race but the majority have been hand, leaped by either knowledge of business methods or unjust treatment. It has been maintained that even in the matter of farm loans by the Federal government, the Negro farmers have not been treated with even the same justice as other farmers. There is a need to fair to the Negro farmer. There are many places in the South where the land is leased, but public information on this kind of injustice is being so well developed that a new day is looked for in farm development. The farm is the ideal life, after all, as many great thinkers, and with the automobile, electricity radios, telephone rural free delivery, and good roads the farming is becoming the aristocrat of America. There is to be erected in Chicago a Temple of Agriculture to cost more than $50,000,000 and it is stated on good authority that Colored farmers will get fair and just consideration in this mammoth development. Banka Insurance and Investments go "round." For the world of Colored America, there is no exception to the rule. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with banks, and to have banks; and all the other necessities of material life are why they are so busy in extending its gripse to Negro investments. Here and there are found exceptions, but they merely prove the rule. Consequently, there has been a ten money to develop investment business and banking business within the price. There has been some progress, but in comparison with the actual needs there has hardly been a start. The National Negro Finance Corporation, a new venture sponsored by the National Negro Incess League, Dr. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, president, and C. Sounilding of the famous Durham, N. C. group, chairman of the board, will seek to capture most important need in Negro business. The insurance field gratifying advance has been made. Approximately a million dollars in capital has been added by the formation of new companies or the enlargement of old ones. One organization above the North Carolina Murial reports an income of two million dollars for 1824 and two million worth of business in force. Insurance companies represent the largest single business endeavor in which the rage is engaged and their benefits are not to be measured alone in the protection they furnish the home but in the money they loan on property, the employment they furnish young men and women and the support which they receive. Travelling accommodation Hotels and Travelling Accommodations With the increased business development of Colored America there has come an increased demand for accommodations in public hotels. These have been a well defined effort to meet this need in some cities, but in many others, including New York City, there is yet a great need for hotel accommodations. It is true that the accommodations of many of the downtown hotels are open in both New York and Chicago, but it is likewise true that the majority of the traveling public prefers to stop in the neighborhood to come to the people they know best. Chicago furnishes an excellent example of adequate hotel accommodations in a city, where distributions are at low levels. "Come Over in New England and Help Colored America has been a great heed to the Macedonian city of Africa: the Virgin Islands, Haiti and South America. In fact, Colored America has been showing a very likely interest in the conditions and development of all of the colored people—of the world. There has developed a desire to study their problems in connection with our American problems, and to compare them with other maps of the world with the white of America. It has been maintained by some that America has "some of the best and some of the menesthies in the world" an eminent white American reworked; "There is no prejudice more deep-sated, or more illogical, than color prejudice, and it seems to have its swain among the English speaking peoples, those of the United States and Africa, to be the violent state for the latter part in South Africa. Added to these, necessarily is the Belgian Congo. Social and Club Life A very worthy effort is being made by organized bodies and the newspaper to affirm the claim that: Colored America has not social standards. The social standards of the group are just as high and just as exacting in the host families of Colored America, as they are with the best families of any other American. The children are carefully reared, those who are admitted to various organizations and circles of society must come up to certain standards; or be frowned upon, and this is especially true with interference to admission to family circles of the best people. There has centers a fine life in well-kept that buildings, not for the mere sake of lifesex, but for the promotion of good will and general welfare, the casually, there are whites who discover this undetected new world of Colored America, and all of them are positively amazed at what they are and hear. These discoveries have formed the basis of many widely read stories. Amusements and Theatricals "On with the dance, let joy be unconfined." In the matter of amusements, the race has been looking into this angle with interesting concerts. Dance hall, cafes, theaters, and all of the other places of recreation and pastime have been developed, to an extent, speaking in terms of dollars. "that runs into the millions, from a part-time field, white capital has opened with 'frenzied finance.' In fact, many of the places, in Colored neighborhoods, designed for our patrons, are so locked to by whites that the Colored people find it difficult to be adequately accommodated. There are a large number of Colored theaters, but singularly, the theaters in Colored neighborhoods, through the country, that are doing the largest business, are owned by white capitalists. In some instances there have been a number of expensive road shows, backed by white capital, that have played to 'down-town' theaters and there has been wide-spread public appreciation.

The combined as- sistance of the Negra community and insurance commissioner states that there was a decrease of $11,612 in the total liabilities. There was an increase of $1702 in members. Most of the orders are housed in their own buildings and the yearly orders amount more than $800,000. They have $1, 540,000 in banks. BELIEF IN MEDIUM CAUSES ARREST ON MURDER CHARGE PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 7 — An attempt to communicate with his mother through a spiritualist resulted in the arrest of Percy Mack, aged 22, of Wilkinsburg, charged with the murder of Frank Pickney, of Andrews, S. C., more than a year ago. Pickney was found shot to death and Mack disappeared from his home following the shooting. Several weeks ago Mack wear to a Brindish spiritualist and asked: If it would be possible for him to communicate with his mother, ar. Andrews by spiritualism. The medium wrote to the mother at Andrews and the message was intercepted by the police there, who were awaiting some word as to Mack's whereabouts. His arrest by the Brindish police followed when they were notified of Mack's identity by the Andrews officers. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 5. The Negro has been an important factor in the development of a "Greater Missouri" since the early days of Missouri's history. In 1757 in Ste. Geneveley county Negroes were found as land miners and fur trappers. The Negro has tiled the soil, worked in factory and quarry, felled the forests, handled freight on river traffic and made an efficient trustworthy domestic servant. During the recent migration, beginning in 1918 the Negro has helped to make Missouri famous as a cotton state. White approximately 10,000 Negroes are engaged in agricultural pursuits in Missouri, there is an appreciable increase in the number of Negroes engaged in other industries. (Colored Women in Industry Fifty three and one-tenth per cent of the 1,506 colored women studied were found in the manufacture of food products, 253 per cent were in laundries, 179 per cent worked in the busboo and 4.4 per cent in bag manufacturing. The medium earnings for the whole group were $619; the range being from $460 in the mills' factory of food products to $850 in laundries. In industries where only two or three isolated colored women were found there seemed to be little difference between their wages and those of white women in the same establishments. It was when they were employed in large numbers and were practically the only women on a special operation that their wages were conspicuously lower than those of white women. Of the colored women studied 27.1 per cent were single, 37.7 per cent were under 25 and 76.5 per cent were living at home. The Negro Industrial Commission of Missouri has endeavored to assist in opening new avenues for the colored worker and to assist in placing colored welfare workers. In plants where large numbers of Negroes are employed. From the hundreds of questionnaires mailed out from this office, queries indicate that the character of Negro labor is satisfactory with but few exceptions. The chief need of this department is adequate appropriation; the small appropriation of $6,000.00 for the blenium was The words of Tennison are pertinent today. Nineteen twenty-four has passed into history; nineteen twenty-five is still a prophecy and a promise. The past as least is secure. During the year last past, the Negro race has experienced several important changes. The Negro Sandhirn Last February there was launched in the city of Chicago the Negro Sandhirn which undertook a 'new plan of race cooperation, and concerted procedure. The effective outcome of this movement awaits upon the second meeting set for the early part of the New Year. Congress enacted a honors law which was forced over the veto of the President Coolidge, carrying provision of three or four million dollars to be awarded to the soldiers of the World War. The Negro soldiers will share and share alike with their white fellow fighters in this public largess. From two to three hundred million dollars will come to the race through this bestowal. The Negro does not usually receive this just portion of the advantages which his labors help to make possible. He is received of the glory and excitement of his valuation, stirring to the national cause. The white man received the stars and leaves to him the stripes. On returning home from the field of victory he found his opportunities restricted rather than enlarged by reason of the victory made possible by his valor. But the bonus tends to even up things. This wind-fall into the lap of the race, if properly husbanded and safeguarded, may add tremendously to its future economic advancement. The Veteran's Hospital The installation of a Negro personnel of the Veteran's Hospital at Tuskegee marks the happiest outcome of the year. At once time the threat of a threatening Under the stausman-like handling of Dr. Moton, and the able reinforcement of the National American Medical Association, with Dr. Dumas in charge of the professional feature, the matter was brought to a most satisfactory issue.

This subject selected by the lesson committee is "The Lack Judgment," but this is an error. According to legitimate festival and contextual signification it is the judgment of the living nations which still lies in the future (y. p. 21). The idea of a general judgment which is of such frequent occurrence in religious literature and teaching is a fundamental error. It is not once found in the Bible, neither the idea which it is intended to convey. Doctor Peterson most truely says, "It is a mischievous habit that has led the Christian world to speak of the judgment is being one great event rising place at the end of the world when all human beings, saints and sinners, laws and Gentiles, the living and the dead, shall stand up before the great white throne and there will be nothing can be more wise of the Scriptures." The Bible speaks of several judgments, different in respect to the subjects to be judged, the places of judgment, the time of judgment and the result of judgment. L. T. Moore (v. 31). It is the Son of God who came and redeemed the human peace. He is now seen clothed with majesty and power sitting upon His throne getting dressed. Those who oppose Jesus thus now as the other shall not repose into judgment (John 5:24). II. The Time (p. 21). This judgment will take place when the land resumes. In the glory of nature with a routine of eloquent singles. This will take place after He gathered the first remnant of Is- rael. There will be no resurrection in connection with this judgment. II. The Place (p. 21). The prophecy of God, the third chapter and 727th chapter 11:15, show that It is to be in our hearts to them. The sword said to Mary, "You shall call this name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Hebrew; and the Lord first will give unto Him the throne of His father David. And shall reign over the house of Jacob and over of His kingdom there shall be named (Chapter 12:520). As David was held high and reigned in a literal place, there shall be a literal place, there shall be a literal place, occupying a literal place altogether." 14. The People Judged (vv. 32:15). These will be the living nations upon earth after this church line been established (1 Thess. 13:36, 17).

This question was asked sometime ago to a number of graduates, professors, teachers and preachers. Some say the largest they had seen was the one thing they said one thing and some another. The first thing we must have is confidence. I don't care for it makes no difference how many schools we may go to when you come out and have no confidence there is very little done in the business world. Another thought is: Confidence is the key to success. Have you got this key? If not, the white man has your key and it is time you was getting it back. The white man during the sixties railed the Negro of his own and today many Negroes believe a white person two to one in many cases turn his own back in trouble. He said by our leaders we are coming. No we are not coming, we are already here. All we have to do is to think and then act, let it be a little thought or a big thought. Just as soon as God makes up your mind to go to the white man and get your key he has and when you get it you go and unlock the door to that room. "The Room For Improvement." CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO.

So loyal, kind and true. In his house come really drunk. As other inhabitants do. But sometimes, when he's "got too much." I wish that I were dead; For there's no sunshine in my heart; When moonshine's in this head. Some folks can't laugh at a plea of Some poor dranken fool: To take a bath in aching heart and put for Nathan's too much. And when he's had just "one too many" I fear that we must part; For there is no sunshine in his head. There's no sunshine in my heart. Within the garden of my life. Love bloomed in every thought. But now I fear "its wilting fast" And I fear Nathan's naught. I pray before it is too late. He'll think how off I've said. There's no sunshine in my heart, dear; When there's no moonshine in your head. I read the book "The National Curse" by Nathan. And I used the "Golden Treatment" To break the galling chains. The sunshine teeth is freed from Nathan's snare; Since there's no moonshine in his head, Our hearts have sunshine there. I gave the powder secretly from my pocket. Oh woman do the same today, The act you cannot run, Oh woman do the same Since that first I read; In our hearts are floods of sunshine, And no moonshine in this head.

CHICAGO, Ill. Dec. 11. The year 1924 closes showing that Chicago has outstripped all other American cities in material progress for Cofcored America. But like the ghost story of the late Bert Williams, when the ghost overtook the frightened, running man, and said, "We been gone some, not well." and the man replied, "yes, but that ain't nolithn' to what we're gonna do," so Chicagoans are saying, with reference to developments planned for 1925. Chicago business men have set out to make Chicago, the great commercial center and clearing house for the group throughout America. "It is that, now in an unorganized way but we are going to organize our resources, develop more within, and spur the world for business," said of the business men to The Associate Negro, "Including the new Annex of the Liberty, Life Insurance Company, the Binga State Bank, the Douglas National Bank the Pythian Building, the Masonic Temple, the Elks building, and a number of other business structures of less degree, the city of Chicago has finished, or has under construction properties valued at more than $5,000,000. Competent authorities state that this figure cannot be approached by any business that has not included dwellings or church edifices but only business properties. New York ought to be a rival of Chicago in business development, but New York "hasn't started yet." cording to Chicago business men. In fact, according to Frank L. Gillespie, President of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, "We think that Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington can show, more business development than New York, and in New York, we create Christie Drexel, Bethampolis and St. Louis are making a better showing than New York City." It is thought that New York has not "found itself." New Yorkers are regarded as thinking that the "World ends at Hoboken," are individualistic, and hence make a poor business showing in comparison with the other big cities of the country, and the vast colored pontoons of the harlem. There is a small group of New Yorkers who are hoping for better days. Chicago Plans Big Business Temple One of the ships that Chicago has in mind is the erection of great Business Temples, to cost at least $500,000 and perhaps, more, where all of the big insurance companies, banks, manufacturers, and other large enterprises may have offices and keep in touch with the pulse of business trend and progress. Some have suggested that the National Negro Business League or the National Negro Finance Corporation should sponsor such a building, while others have stated that the Associated Business clubs of Chicago, R. N. Abbott, President, and Jesse B. Ilina, Secretary-Treasurer, could well undertake such a monumental development. For 1925, one of the first developments to be announced will be a $1,000,000 investment organization in Chicago, backed by capital of both races, for the purpose of purchasing and constructing residence properties on the South side of Chicago. The continued development of the North side where thousands of whites are moving, and the growing demand for first-class residential places on the South side, is said to make this one of the flattering possibilities of success. Properties on the South side of Chicago already in possession of colored residents are one of the marvels of all visitors, and in the finer districts, it is not only being kept up, but is continually increasing in value. There have been conferences with reference to creating a mammoth new theatre building, and another hotel. In the matter of South side theatres, they are all in the hands of white capitalists who employ colored workers. A big number have become immensely wealthy, and some of them are very baughy. It has been discussed that some of this wealth must go into racial poet books, where it will stay in this district. Chicago is already in "Class All" on hotels, but because of the tremendous demand for first-class accommodations, Chicago business interests are cheerfully seeking to meet the demands of the hour. William Randolph Cowan, one of the foremost real estate men of the race, who has just returned from a tour to California, states that "We look forward to making 1925 a great year. I have had conferences with a large number of people, who have voluntarily expressed a desire to become a part of Chicago's commercial development. Our aim is simply to have them understand that they are volunteering, and to have them understand that we always have the latch string out." BURNG WIFE'S CLOTHES KNOVILLE, Tennessee, Dec. 31. After his wife had locked him out from the home as the result of a quarrel, Manuel McGhee crawled in thru a window, seized his wife's clothes and set fire to them. When he was arrested and questioned by the police, he explained that he wanted to make her stay at home. ROBBED OF CHRISTMAS FUND Associated, Negro Press. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 31.—For the second successive year and near the same spot, William Harris, an insurance agent, who is the owner of Christmas tundra among his neighbors, held up an robbed of $1600 Wednesday night by two men at Fifty-eighth street and Hartford avenue. Harris was the founder of the Christmas Club which is eight years old and the members consist of residents of the neighborhood in which he lives. According to his story, he had drawn $6225 from the bank late Tuesday afternoon. Part of the money, was given to his associates in the enterprise and he had taken the rest to disburse among the other members. Because of the robbery which had occurred for the second time in as man- years and near the same spot, Harris was grilled by the police and he brought the amount taken from him down from $2500 to $1600. Police are looking for the bandit. On the west coast of Africa stand today ruins of high rock towers very much like the light houses, that house the police are trying to tie to indicate that the inhabitants of the coast were in the habit of communicating with some other men far out in the coast. Missouri Negro In Industry Confirmed From Page Nine hardly sufficient for the department to exist to say nothing of extensive science the survey work. With adequate appropriation this department could very easily assist in securing large numbers of migrants for Missoula farmers at the time that they are most needed. As it is now many of the colored workers are lost to the farmer because they, secure work in the manufacturing plants of the larger cities. We offer as a suggestion to the Fifty-Third General Assembly that sufficient appropriation be given so that branch offices may operate in St. Louis and Kansas City. The members of this commission have gladly rendered efficient service without any compensation whatever, we believe that in view of the fact that these ladies and gentlemen are business and professional people who receive lucrative salaries or compensation, they should be paid for their devoir, that they should be paid a per diem commemorate to services rendered the state. We believe that there is a brighther day dawning for the Negro in Missouri, we must continue to work in harmony with our white brother to assist in opening the available opportunity for our people that our welfare may be firmly established and our safety made secure. The Old Year And The New Continued From Page Nine fulness, we may as well render thanks to the President for kindly and righteous intervention in behalf of the Houston soldier. The Election The election to the intelligent and patriotic division of the Negro vote. Even those who followed the fortunes of the Grand Old Party to an unprecedented and unexpected victory readily concede that this was the one significant outcome of the moment and importance. The effect of this division is fraught with great political consequence for the future. Renewed Philanthroby The munificent contributions to Hampton' and Tuskegee rank among What Women Write About Madam C.J. Walker's WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS the striking, events of the year. Fear was expressed that the fountains of northern philanthropy had dried up. We heard little during the past few years of the munificent donations that characterized the Washington and Prized But presto, change. In the moment, as it the twining of an eye, these two great schools have doubled the foundations upon which their founders devoted a life time to establish. But most striking of all, was the clear sky donation to the Johnson C. Smith University of Charlotte North Carolina. One million six hundred thousand, sacred to the Trinity College, the fellowment of the college from a Southern white man who rose above race and color in the distribution of his fortune. The Literary Revival For a number of years immediately preceding and succeeding the war, the Negro question was taboo in American magazines. No fault belongs to the editors for this neglect. The magazine editor who does not give to the public what its taste calls for will soon be like Ottohe, without a job. But during the past year or so, the Negro question has become all, but the favorite theme of American periodical Literature This indicates that the public is the public and alert to this type of discussion. When the public mind is closed, there is hope. A number of books and stories have appeared from the pen of Negro writers which shows a new spirit and breathes a new purpose. Garvey's Ups and Downs The Garvey, Movement has undergone interesting experiences, whose appraisal one finds it difficult to assess. It is hard to predict the outcome where a capriculous genius is the guilding spirit. During the year this significant movement in plantation law. In the language of the plantation melody: "I'm sometimes up and sometimes down, and sometimes I've under the ground." The New Year Let us now turn attention to the year of our Lord nineteen twenty-five. What is the program of the year? What are some of the objectives towards which the race should strive during the next ensuing twelve months? The prospect is ther spectacular nor brilliant. There is nooning above the horizon which challenges attention in a striking way. The progress of the New Year promises to be orderly, systematic and constructive. The New Administration The Republican party, has won a sweeping victory. The new administration will be inaugurated next March fourth. But as the new Congress will not meet till December first, the new order of things will barely make a midheadway till the New Year has e pired. The Negro politicians are prophesying all sorts of extravagant advantage to flow from the political fountain. Matthews has posted his seventeen points. Discrimination is to be done away within the departments. Negroes are to be appointed to federal offices on a scale level, debate or so, to cheat. Remedial legislation is to be enacted. The police million in the scheduled police presence in minnesota but we have heard even rosette prophesies before. It is good policy to hope for all of these things; but to expect little or nothing. Then all that comes will be received with appreciation but without disappointment. I, predict that there will be one conspicuous Negro recess appointment during the incoming year. Beyond this power of prediction falls me. Civil Service Reform The discrimination against the Negro in the Civil Service has now reached such a phase, that there is every reason to hope that the Bertillon System of identification will be substituted for photographs. This will bring the race the greatest advantage which has come from legislative or administrative action in recent years. All that is now needed is concerted effort of the race to bring this to the point that the Negro system will begin recruit clinical positions with out discrimination, as they did when the Theodore Roosevelt, the apostle of the square deal, was Civil Service Commissioner. Residential Segregation The Negroes of Washington have fought the question of residential segregation through the two lower courses and have held stands in registration against us. Covenants between property holders, not to sell to Negro purchasers, have been upheld by int detail decision as far as it tested. The N. A. A. C. P. has engaged to push the issue through the Supreme Court. The race will risk the fate of the entire issue upon a single throw of pitch and a decision by the Court will be a victory indeed; a defeat will be a second Dred Scot Decision. It would place the property rights of the race about where that infamous and unfair decision placed its human rights. But the die is cast. The case must be fought to a finish. Every Sergeant in the N. A. A. C. P. in this critical issue. In the language of Macquay: "Strike on the fathé Etruscan. The Negro Sanchezrin The second and determinative meeting of the Negro Sanchezrin will take place, during the New Year. The plans pursued in the Chicago meeting will be put into practical execution. There will be installed at Washington an agency to deal with all matters of race wide interest. This clearing house arrangement will be used up the cooperation and support of the constituent organizations engaged to unite in this unifying plan of procedure. Now is the time for all interested to the thinking of this great consummation, which we all so long have sought and mourned because we found it not. Thus we stand at the parting of the years. Our vision looks both forward and back. Sufficient unto the years are the evils there. Let us now contemplate only the things that are good, constructive and ameliorative. forgetting the things that are past, let us press forward to the mark of the high calling of the New Year. Chapped hands and faces needn't bother. MENTHOLAIUM soothes and heals chaps and chilblains quickly and gently
