PASSING OF STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY A Detailed Account Of The Recent Activities Which Led Up To, And The Final Merger Of The Race's Largest Financial Institution With A White Concern Of The South. SERVICE CO. OBLIGATION WAS FINANCIAL STRAIN ASSOCIATED NEJOH PRESS ATRANTA, Ga., Jan. 16—An nouncement was authorized here today that the Standard Life insurance Company of this city, one of the companies of the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee, a white organization. This simple statement issued after a joint meeting of the officials of the two companies acquainted the public with the fact that a climax had been reached in the difficulties which the Standard and its allied institutions have faced, and that a tain on another scene in a drama of Negro financial endeavor which the country has watched interestedly for the past year. According to the spokesmen for the two groups, President Will G. Harris of the Southern and President Herman E. Perry of the Standard, the two companies will operate for the present as separate institutions with the probability that later they will be consolidated into a single organization which will be known as the Southern and Standard Life Insurance Company. Officials, and directors of both will be on the board of the new combination. Mr. Harris pointed out that the merger brought in a new business that was outstanding business of nearly $75,000,000 covering some three hundred thousand policy holders. He further stated that the move made doubled the protection behind Standard Life policies, and gave birth to an interracial control and co-operative business endeavor on a scale never before attempted. Three Resignations Officers and directors of Standardl were re-elected with three exceptions Bishop R. E. Jones, his brother David Jones, Secretary of the company, and J. R. Plankett, director of agencies. Their withdrawals were voluntary; they remain as stockholders and are said to be in accord with the merger as affording the best solution of the problem facing the company, the merger tool place stockholders as a dealer and met in their 12th annual meeting and canvassed the critical situation brought about by the failure of Mr. Perry and his associates to raise sufficient money to discharge the $400,000 obligation owed by the Service Company, an organization which held, the majority of the outstanding 2,500 Standard Life shares of stock and which had hypothetized them to the Southeastern Trust Company of this city as security for loans. Premature reports given to the racial and daily press of the country several weeks ago had heralded the fact that white northern capitalists and philanthropists had agreed to advance the money needed after herculean efforts made by Dr. Robert R. Moton president of the National Business League. Later disclosures are said to reveal that this group had greater amount of money was required than originally was stipulated; second, that affairs of the Service Company due to the demands for liquidation forced by the insurance commission were more involved than a cursey examination is located, and, thirdly, a disinformation on the part of officers of the standard and Service Companies to sign from what they considered their life's work. Mr. Rosenwald and the eastern group are then said to have withdrew their ideas. Cancer of Standard Life The ups and downs of Standard have held the attention of the en- lure. Tubular cancer, a rare illness, afflicted the financial ambil- sions and afflicted the Negro nor- given him confidence in his ability to handle big, commercial affairs that did Standard Life under the direc- tion of Heman E. Perry, its founder and guiding genius. Its early suc- cess had served as an inspiration for many of the enterprises started during the past decade. Beginning a dosen years ago, Mr. Perry with fifteen years of experience as an insurance salesman behind him had been able to sell the company's company to a group of stockholders scattered in various sections of the country, $100,000 was deposited with the State of Georgia to meet the legal requir- ments, and Standard was launched. From its inception business rolled in until ten years later officials report- ed 25,000 policy holders whose pol- icles amounted to $25,000,000, five hundred agents, five hundred medica- tical examiners, three hundred bus- siders, each of which played a trusted role, and executives were employed, big calibre men ensured the insurance game, and Standard was pointed to as an inspira- tion an example of Negro achievement. Service Company Formed An immense income was developed required for the most part in white bank. Poverty began to become a problem, and the capital so that it might be raised relative to the requirements and of greater benefit for the most The Louis Argus REACTION IN ST. LOUIS ON STANDARD'S MERGER Much excitement in St. Louis followed the publication in the Argus, last week, in merging of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta with the Southern Life of Nashville, Tennessee. The noticeable reaction here has been the statements coming from several policy holders in the Standard, who say that they will immediately apply for paid up policies in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Attorney Homer G. Phillips stated that he reserved the right to insure in such insurance companies as he may elect, but would refuse to be sold or bargained at the will of others. Another policy-holder said he had no desire, nor inclination to contribute to the rabble South to help them buy hope and oil with which to lynch and burn the Negro. Garrett Resigns Lucian G. Garrett, Manager of the St. Louis Office, has sent in his resignation to the Standard Life Insurance Company to take effect February 17, or at as early a date as a successor can be obtained. INTER-RACIAL IN KENTUCKY State Conference He'd In Louisville. A Fair Share Of Civic Advantages For Colored Citizens Asked. More Than Two Hundred White And Col'd Attend / LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 19.—The 6th Annual State Intercultural Conference held in this city recently, went on record with a vigorous recommendation that Negroes be given "a fair share of civic advantages maintained by taxation or controlled by law, such as parks, swimming pools, libraries, hospitals and penal institutions, and on railroads," and that a committee consisting of both groups be appointed in each city to suitably appear before the proper authorities to urge such provisions." The Conference gave large attention to the need of more adequate facilities for Negro education, recommending the enactment of a law to equalize school advantages and asking that an "A grade" colored teachers college be established. The Conference pledged itself also to work for the establishment of a state institution for feeble-minded children, endorsed and encouraged to open the school wards of public hospitals to the practice of Negro physicians and nurses, and recommended that the study of Negro history and achievement be made a part of the public school course. The meeting was attended by some two hundred professional, educational and civic leaders from over the state, the two races being about equally represented. Many able speeches were delivered on education, health, public utilities, the ballot and other timely subjects, the fullest frankness being encouraged with regard to condemnation. The address was that of Dr. R. R. Mofon, head of Truskegee institute, who made a powerful plea for justice and friendliness before a mixed audience that filled one of the largest white churches of the city. He was given a most appreciative hearing. In his annual report, Dr. James Bond, Director of the work in Kentucky, expressed the conviction that conditions and attitudes are steadily improving in the State in spite of occasional apparent backets.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People Walhall M. Moore Honored With Places On Four Important Committees. Bishop Vernon Speaks Before House Of Representatives JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 20. The 61st-third General Assembly of the Missouri Legislature was seen in action today following the appointment of several committees which will handle the principal business of the law makers during the present session. Consperious among the solons of the House is Wainthall W. Moore of St. Louis, the only Negro member of that august body. Mr. Moore has been appointed by the Speaker of the House, Jones H. Parker, on four important committees, namely: Approvisionation Bills and Permanent Seat of Gov't. As a member of the Appropriation Committee, Mr. Moore will be able to render a very definite service to the state because of his particular interest in education. Bishop Vernon Speaks During a recent visit of the High Reverend Bishw. W. T. Vernon at Jefferson City, Mr. Moore secured the unanimous consent of the House for the law makers. He was introduced by the Speaker of the House by Mr. Moore and Mr. Parker presented Dr. Vernon to the body. Bishop Vernon spoke for twenty-five minutes, during which time he reviewed his experience as a public servant, as a Bishop at home and in foreign fields. His reference to his relation to men in public life of national reputation, such as Warner, Stone and Clark, brought forth prolonged applause. At the close of the speech the Bishop was congratulated by many members on both sides of the House. Seldom has any speaker appeared to better advantage. He and Mr. Moory deserve the gratitude of the Negroes of the state. WATSON PLAYING FOR NEGRO VOTE Move To Get Tidrington Appointed Register Of The Treasury Appears To Be Scheme To Save Indiana Ku Klux Senator. Preston News Service. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21. Realizing the necessity of having a large Negro vote when he comes up for reelection in 1926, Senator James E. Watson, alleged Ku Klux Klanman, of Indiana, appears to be making a strenuous effort in behalf of Arnest Tidrington, who worked during the campaign to urge Negroes to remain in G. O. P. folds and support the candidates, who were to be pronounced as the winner. Tidrington is said to be aggressively conducting a campaign to have himself appointed Register of the U.S. Treasury. It is reported that self-respecting Negroes of Indiana boiled the Republican party last campaign because it was dominated by the Ku Klux Klan in that State, while Tidrington fell in line with the klansman and did their bidding in an effort to induce Negroes to vote the Republican ticket. Watson Plays Clever Game Experienced politicians claim Senator Watson is playing a "can't bug" game, in the if Tidrington is appointed Register of the Treasury, Watson can go before the Negroes of Indiana and stand up for them in the appointment for the race in Tidrington's appointment; if the post does not fall to Tidrington, Watson can point out that he did all in his power to secure recognition for the race in appointment to a federal position. Able Negro Leaders Crushed It is claimed that during the last presidential campaign such leading and upstanding Negroes of Indians as J. B. Ransom, S. A. Furniss and Cornellus Richardson were asked by Republican Campaign leaders to see what they could do for the party in the matter of bringing indiana Negroes, who had bolted on account of the klan candidates for state office, back into the folds of the party, submitted to Senator Watson, a member of the Campaign Committee, he is alleged to have remarked that he would not okay their names for the work, but that he had a man he could direct for this work. He then named Tidrington. Negro Should Have Post Negroes throughout the country agree that a Negro should be Register of the U. S. Treasury, but that Tidrington is not the man, as his loyal support of Indiana klanman Joseph Tidrington is as a traitor to the best interests of the race. What Will Be Done: Problematic Just what will be done in the matter of handing out Federal appointments to Negroes by the Toledo administration is still problematic. Whether the present white incumbent in the office of the Register of Justice will be appointed by a New York attorney is many. Many Harvardmen demanded Tidbits for sending the position new build by a white man, but they believe more other men than Tidbits should Newspaper Representatives From The South Will Have Special Car To St. Louis From Nashville NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 19—Arrangements were completed here this week for the movement from the Southeastern Territory to the Negro Press Association which meets in St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 18-20 inclusive.

The treasurer of the Association, Mr. E. Washington Rhodes, the editor of The Philadelphia Tribune, has written the secretary that he will be in St. Louis with ideas and plans calculated to bring greater returns to the newspaper man.

Finley Wilson, passed through Nashville several weeks ago and declared that he will be in St. Louis. Plokitov the booze there is to be an unusually large delegation at the St. Louis meeting, was the statement handed out from the secretary's office this week. NEEDS OF RACE ARE DISCUSSED National And State Program Outlined At Mass Meeting. Attorney Homer G. Phillips Principal Speaker. Resolutions Adopted.

Moore, state representative, was present at this meeting and made a brief address touching upon some things needed in the state. NEGRO MOOSE RESUME FIGHT TO HOLD NAME Paramount Order Of Moose Denies Charge That Ideas For Society Were Taken From White Order. After a suspension of over a month the legal battle between the Loyal Order of Moose a white secret society, and the Paramount Progressive (Nr. of Loyalism) order in which the former is contesting the right of the latter to use the name "Moose" in its title, and employing its said emblems regalia and rituals, was assumed Monday. Defendants - Deny Charge Director General H. O. Steward, Grand Dictator O. W. Johnson and Supreme Treasurer W. O. Robinson occupied the stand for the defendants. The attorney for the plaintiffs J. E. Turner endeavored to establish the nature of Loyalism, that the oed society was insuring their ideas by wity examinations. He queried as to the source of the name of the Paramount Progressive Moose to which Dir. Gen. Steward replied that a big animal, the Moose, had given him the idea for the name and that he added Paramount because it meant the largest Moose and further, the Moose that is everywhere. In explaining where given the charge for the rift in the oed society, the Judge ordered K. of P.s. the Masons and the Bible as his source of reference, but denied any use of its Loyal Order rituals. Never Considered Homes As to a said report that the Parmount Order had instructed its members that they had a price to use to the houses of the Loyal Order at Moose Harvei Florida and Moosheart, Illinois, Dr. Gen, Stewward denied caputhematly any knowledge of such. After an investigation of the rules and regulations and the financial condition of the defending organization through the New Negro Mosse Won The case is creating a great deal of interest, as a similar case was fought in the New York courts only two weeks ago, at the outcome of which the white organization was denied a right to prohibit the use of the name "Moose" by the colonial organization.

C., Jan. 19.—During the past week, in political circles, all interest among the Negro leader seemed to be currever upon what jobs and who is who. Chief among the appointments sought at the hand of President Coolidge, is that of Register of the United States Treasury. The most prominent contenders for the Registralship, it was learned at the White House, are Aaron E. Malone, St. Louis; Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh; and Ernest G. Tidrington, Evansville, Ind. Politicians and sponsors say that the President had not made up his mind as to just whom he will appoint to this office at this time, but it is astonishing considering appointing New York the place shortly after his inauguration, March 4. Other persons whose names are prominently mentioned in connection with appointments to Federal offices and the positions with which they are connected are as follows: William C. Matthews, of Boston, Commissioner of Immigration at Boston. Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute, W. Va., Recorder of Deeds. James A. Cobb, of Washington, D. C., judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia. Mecill, of Jacksonville, Fla., Collector of Internal Revenue at Jacksonville. Joseph H. Watson of Albany, th. Collector of Internal Revenue at Atlanta, Ga. Gilchrist Stewart and George W. Harris, of New York, and Charles W.

They were taken through the building and shown the most interesting features. Mr. Rosenwald was very much impressed with the Fullman porters quarters and the service it is rendering these men. He also commented on the Commonwealth Club room and the privilege that it accorded the members of the Commonwealth Fellowship club. The catereria was a source of genuine pleasure to him, and he extended most hearty congratulations to the manager in charge. The grade school basketball league was in play, and Mr. Rosenwald's interest in the boys and the service rendered them detailed him in the gymnasium for a considerable time. He asked a number of questions about the boys' Department and its operation, remarking that it was fortunate that this building made such a large provision for the boys of 8. Louis. Praises Good Work The condition of repair of the building and its cleanliness drew comment from both Mr. Rosenwald and his wife as they visited each of the several departments. Mother Head made a lasting impression upon him as was evidenced by the way he held on to her hand and addressed her as while she addressed him as "Son, when he was taking leave of the building. The entire visit was so enjoyable occasion. The friendliness and cordiality of both Mr. and Mrs. Rosenwald are very remarkable indeed.

Jpn. 21.—The Arpeclate Division decided last week that George W. Harris, a Negro, was legally elected a member of the Board of Aldermen from the Twenty-first Aldeomatic District on Nov. 8, 1921, and that John W. Smith was unlawfully seated in Harris' place from July 6, 1923, until the end of the term on Dec. 31, 1923. "This is a vindication for Harris," said his attorney, Abraham Brekstone. "He had served as Alderman before, but received in black eye politically when the Board of Aldermen unseated him after the purge of the tegm. Now he may run for office again. We will at oice seek to recover back pay at $250 a month from the city." Harris, who is a Republican and who owns and collies the New York News, received 5,084 votes against 5,090 votes for Smith, a Democrat on the face of the returns in the 1921 general election. Harris received a certificate of election and took his seat, but in January, 1922, at the first meeting of the new Board of Aldermen had several hearings, recounting the election, including that Smith had been elected to vote. The board then adopted resolutions unseating Harris and seating Smith. Council for Harris then obtained a writ of certiori, on which the Appellate Division reviewed the action of the Board of Aldermen. Justice Victor J. Dowling, who wrote the opinion, all the other Judges concurring, devoted himself chiefly to an analysis of 289 ballots which the Board of Aldermen's committee had declared void. Justice Bowling found that Harris should be credited with 205 votes more than the total of 5,750 allotted to the Board of Aldermen's canvass, and that Smith received 47 more than the 5,776 credited to him by the board. This made the final tally 5,335 for Harris, against 5,823 for Smith, a majority of 112 for Harris. The Court held that there was no basis for Smith's charge that a conspiracy existed to mark ballots with marks other than cross marks for the purpose of identifying them. It swept aside his contention that such ballots should be considered void. Justice Dawling is a Democrat, as are two others of the five Judges who decided the case.

The Urban League of St. Louis announces that its quarters will be moved from the building at 2329 Market street, which it has occupied during the past five years, to much larger and remodeled office building at Jefferson and Lucas avenues. The change will become effective February 15. Due to the steadily increasing demands being made for larger service by the Urban League, it has been felt for a long time that its present quarters were entirely too small and congested for its work. The waiting rooms for the Employee Department for a considerable length of time, and other phases of work have suffered by reason of lack of space for expansion. In the new building the Urban League will have five rooms on the first floor and one large room on the second floor. Three of the rooms downstairs will be used for the Employment Department, with separate waiting rooms for men and women, and the other two rooms for offices of the Executive Departments will be used for the Neighborhood Department to take care of its expanding program among the women of the city. With this change in location the Urban League should enter upon a new period in its growing service to St. Louis. The League offices are looked upon as a clearing house, particularly for the newcomers to St. Louis who seek advice and employment. The League informs concerning all phases of the life of the colored population from social agencies, students, newspapers and private individuals interested in the Negro in St. Louis. The League is fast becoming the recognized source for information of this nature. In its new location the work will be in close touch with the street car lines reaching practically all sections of the city. Hodginson, Wolleston, Page, Jefferson, Lacee and Market lines being close at hand. The Board of Directors and staff members of the Urban League are recyling many congratulations on the proposed move from friends and patrons.

RELICS BEING COLLECTED FOR MUSEUM AT LINCOLN JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. May 21, 2014 President Nathan R. Yuping of Lia- town University has conceived an ad- mitable idea of giving the school a musu- mum.

He will thought the museum which it is is being will develop into a possible museum of history of Lia- town University. Nere You Among the 360,000 Last year 290,220 persons caused the threshold of the city's relentless treasure house, the S. Louis Art Museum. This means that of every citizen made a petition to the Hill. For the proportion of colored and white visitors to have equalled, this means that there would have to be been over 26,900 Negroes in attendance at the Museum. In as far as the colored citizens fell short of this number, so much more did the white citizens profit. Of course, many may disagree, saying that the colored people should not show he same interest in an museum as the white ones. It is filled with utterly productive and bitter litter has more of an opportunity to indulge in such. This is a grave mistake. Art knows no differences. It has a much to offer the black man as the white man, the poor as the rich, and the oppressed as the unoppressed. Its values, ary ever locking all greet to come and be inspired. Nor does it require an thoroughly trained or brilliant intellect to glean the most that it has to offer. The simple t soul. it be in earnest, may be executed above the proudest and greatest in the power that is in our hearts, when black locks were made to run in our own blood under the brutal fash of the master's whip, could safely nurture our spirituals and dry their tears away with smiles. It was the touch of gial brought to them through the spiritual power of these simple honest melodies. It was the touch of the heart in whose all other earthly powers might have failed, it is through communication with art that one learns great spiritual truths that without such contact are inaccessible. All of the finest things that we have or may hope to have, we know only through art. Even ones home, if it be tidy and well kept; art is even a little flower garden, so passively beautiful, and so it goes down through the range of all that *Lin* life that enrages and develops such things being. It is by visting art that someone that one may find that his life is enraged by the better times of life. New channels of appreciation the openest, one first, a false alarm or so slow in going to a惊慌 or so Shakespeare dramat. It becomes, rather, a strong and life- ful incarnation that grows until out- side it in influencing their very act, ex- pressing its perhaps in the more- careful treatment of a fine building on home and their surroundings, at which take on a more precious and deeper aspect in the eyes of a lover of art, herbs in indulgence for a thin-worn painting that has stood for years unabashed by cruel glances; and pol- lars in the eyes of many come to mind with all its meaning to come to a Dore incarnation place in one's heart; in all nature becoming a vast palm of new delights and pleasures. It is when one reaches the stings in life that he is really living, for it is then that he is getting the most that life has to offer love for God and all of his creations. Thus it is that so much is gained by those individuals who go to the art museum whenever the opportunity is good, and thus it is that so much is felt by those individuals who never enters its glorious portals. The food Men Do The article below is an open letter on the career of the peer of Negro art. Mr. Henry O. Tanner, numerating a greater interest in this negro-neglected giving sensation of his latest productions. The message was addressed to the general public by Bishop Hartwell, who has borne a great influence on the life of the eminent painter. This communication is addressed to individuals or any group of persons who, recognizing the wonderful career of Mr. Henry O. Tanner as a world renowned artist, and who would like to secure one of his paintings for publication, in public institution, where in years to come it would be an inspiration to many, as well as a permanent memorial of a distinguished representative of the Negro race. Mr. Tanner has no superior among Negro artists, and few artists of other races rank with him. After twenty years of heroic effort, he made his way to graduation, from the Philadelphia School of Art, and did paintings of acknowledged merit. His ambition was to get to Rome and then give his life to his profession. But he was broken in health and had no money. Needling a change of climate and hoping to make some money, he went to Attica, Ga., and did some photographing, but his plans were unsuccessful. The leading arts artist in Artois national friend in Philadelphia, but living in a Southern city in 1888, he could not recognize his Negro artist friend, although he secretly invited him to his room to have his publicist of the own paintings.

NAVY ACTION DR C H W In 1899, at the suggestion of Mrs. Bartzell, all of Mr. Tanner's paint trades in Atlanta and Philadelphia were taken to Cincinnati, where they several days they were on exhibition. Mr. Benjamin Brawley in his book entitled "The Negro in literature and art," says in his book, "The exhibition failled; but a single picture was regular sold. However Bishop and Mrs. Bartzell gave the artist a sum for the entire collection, and thus equipped he set sail for Rome, January 4, 1894, going by way of Liverpool and Paris. Mr. Tanner, however, did not "go" to Rome, but settled in Paris, and that has been his home for 40 years in a recent letter he says, "I have lived over here not only if it is a country that gives honors for art, without any condition than that the art, should be good." He reached Paris in his 30th year, and for 20 years his suburbarrassments for lack of money and disappointments in picture sales were sorrowful, and at times almost tragic. But victory came. His gloomy inspiration of God and made effective by tiring a fort, brought success. The French government lought two of his largest and best paintings, and closed them in the Luxembourg the great National Art Academy. There they will reclaim for future generations to adduce and appreciate for the man whose articled gouls created them. As the max. about a year ago the French Government gave Tavier the region, which canals his nation permanently among those that Great nation desires to especially honor.

Haughton said he had not been properly treated by the government and held that Ebel responsible. He declared that he intended to kill himself, had it not been for the interference of employees. Assistant Chief Of Detectives James Smythe Is Praised Assistant Chief Of Detectives James Smythe Is Praised In police circles there has been much discussion and speculating as to the future heads of the department, Governor Baker, as yet, has not publicly announced the new board. Words of praise and commendation among the colored people of the city are often made, referring to Assistant Chief of Detectives James Synthaei headquarters. It is generally said of him that he is an efficient chief, fair and considerate toward all alike, regardless of race or color, who come before him. In this, he has incurred the good favor of all with whom he deals in an official way. Speaking of Chief Smith, one who has observed his nocturnal closet, said: "He is the right man in the right place, location, he is the judge of the court in court when persons are brought in."

OWENS "Human employments are only to be secured by human labor." Few, perhaps, are aware how truly this is the case. The rough materials given by the Creator, including the surface of the earth, are in comparison a trifle. It is by the power and disposition of man to labor that the great end has mainly been secured. All except a very small portion of the value of a piece of ground arises from the improvements and adaptations which human labor has wrought in it. So the negative effect of man and the natural conditions, by which the production of food is so much affected, work under a direction and modification from human ingenuity, skill and industry. The exertion of man's hand and brain—how then, can it be degrading? How can there be anything despicable about it? All right—and many feelings revolt from such an idea. The human mind is so constituted, that all the great institutions of nature, when explained and asserted, appear to it, just and noble. Such is the light in which a correctly judging mind must unquestionably regard this as well as other institutions. Only through blind ignorance or a vicious prejudice, can it ever be for a moment held as in any respect mean. This view is fortified by the actual state of feeling which accompanies the performance of useful labor in all well constituted nigts. It is no matter what the task may be, whether the exercise of high intellectual faculties in the professions, or the exertion of mere bodily strength toward some comparatively humble purpose one well-recognized feeling of a most agreeable kind attends it. With this done, in an agreeable feeling we comprehend the hope of beneficial r-results, and, perhaps, in particular, the benefit of some much dearer than one's self. The apprehension of fellow creatures is contemptible! as a right secured. But there is something more in it than all this. There is in it a sense of "digesty—a kind of pride, but one free from the usual earthly dross which we feel elevating us in the midst of our elemental bridges, is it too much elemental, this is a sense standing by itself in nature, mystoriously, in harmony, with that very institution, which declares labor to be the only source of the means of enjoyment, contemplated in the designs of Providence as necessary to stimulate and sustain us in the duties which we must perform, if we live. —Sister Susan.

UNBRACED BANKS CAVE IN BURYING WORKMAN ALIVE ENOXVILLE, Teein, Jan. 21.—A lack of preconception on the part of a white foreman resulted in the death of a colored laborer. Walter Guin, 31, when he was caught under a cave-in and buried under ions of dirt. Guinn and A follow workman were digging a narrow ditten ten feet deep, the side of which had been rocky left "inshored". Ralph Harris, white and tall, was digging the banks closing in on the two men and yelled a warning. Guinn's companion jumped to safety, while he, in his excitement, jumped towards the heistist part of the case-in. More than 30 minutes were required to uncover Guinn whose neck was broken, when the dirt beneath him smoothed. Current Events It would be a fine thing.

Amilee, did you read the nice things in the papers regarding the conduct of our young folks who attended the Symphony concert last Wednesday? She pleaded that we were peculiarly pleased—what was said in the Post-Dispatch. I didn't read the article in the Post. What did it have to say? Well, among other things, I was especially pleased at the statement that our boys and girls were seated, gentlemen, very lady-like and no greater compliment could be paid any group of children. Yes, it is very nice. Auntie, but our children are just like all other children. No better and no worse. Perhaps you are right, Mabel, children are children, whether their color be black or white. It is difficult to control a large number of children of any group, any队, anywhere. This difference, Mabel, is in the fact that for some unknown reason, we are watched more closely than other folks, and some refuse to see anything but BRUTALITIES IN MARYLAND REFORMATORY STIR STATE BAHVIMOE, Md., Jan. 21.

Louis after a very successful trip through southern Illinois. They invaded their ennies camp at Camel, Mounds and Carbondale, and played to large, enthusiastic and cheering crowds. It is quite a feat for a young team to win away from home, encowarding undersized gms and hostile audiences who are whooping and pulling for their home bays to win. They must be said that they did well. The enthusiasm in these small cities is exceptional. They love the game and there is nothing unportmanlike in the actions of the brain or audience. The first two games: on the trip were hard played and close, Zoophril, the K: R. T's big center, distinguishing himself by scoring 18 points in the Chiro game, and Watkins, the fleet left forward in the Mounds game by scoring 8 of the K. R. T's a points, the boys in boys' basketball, the tilted team, a score of 20-25, and the Mound team by a score of 10-9 in the second game. In the third game of the junt, the K. K. T-3 seemed to lose their usual speed and fell art easy vletim the Carbondale live by a score of 20-6. Carbondale vs. K. B. T. Friday, January 30th. A return game with: Carbondale, at the Pine St. "Y" Friday, Jan. 30, promises to be the hardest fought basket ball game of the season. Carbondale has defended our boys three times and we are determined that they will leave St. Louis soundly whipped this time. The Knights are putting in some extra practice hours and you will see a brand of basket ball on the 60th that will be hard to heat. Mr. Rogers, a new teacher, has assisted Mr. Lewis in coaching the team and they have developed a team that is almost impossible to heat on their home floor. This will be a great game and well worth the patronage of all sport loving folk in St. Louis. A fast preliminary will be the curtain raiser.

It is reported that Miss Kennedy's instruction to her team has developed a discipline and personnel marvelous to relate, the speed, the scientific passing, the dazzling shooting, the impregnable defense, tell the story of the many victims left in the wake of her five cylinder machine.

LOUIS STARS LOSE SERIES TO KANSAS CITY IN THE WINTER LEAGUE LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Hitting the cafering of "Gawky" Gurley, almost at will the L. A. White Sox scored a decisive triumph over the St. Louis All Stars, thereby winning one of the most interesting baseball series ever played in the West. Earlier in the week the Sox had shut out the Stars at Goodyear Park and Sunday's game made three wins, the other two contests, St. Louis won and tied one. The time game will not be played off. Both teams presented crippled lineups when they took the field Sunday. Beece, the rightfielder, and Murray, the Stars' first string catcher, were on the bench. McNair, the brainy outfielder of the Sox, was home slick. Lonnie Goodwin moved George Carr into centerfield and sent Killingsworth to captain Ross and Fred Bell, right fielder and rightfield and Pulen worked behind the bat. When Empire Stakes called-play ball, the fans that crowded the stands and bleachers settled back exerting to see a resumption of the pitches battle between Drake and Gurley that started at Goodyard Park, Saturday a week back. Gurley won that battle shuffling out the Sox. Drake was touched for seven hits and three runs. Gurley, the same player after fanping fire of the first six runs, face him. Gurley started wild and was touched for four hits and four runs in the first three innings. That was the ball game. The Sox, which is made up of Kansas City Monarchs' players, won this decisive game, 9 to 2. BOHEMIA BOXING CARD By MOSE Again, the boxing card at Bohemia was pulled out and proved to be better than last. The house war crowded when the gates opened for the first fight. The Battle Royal was funny. The first bout was a 4 round contest between Kid Sanders and Kid Skii, which ceded in a draw. The second wag a six round event between Jessie James and Sheenie Wills, also a draw. Black Jack was outclassed and the referee stopped his 8 round go with Kid Bolden in the second. The main event was to be 8 rounds between Battling Lang and our own champion, "Kid Dusty." Lang would have been a better match for "Stranger" Lewla than Dusty. He held on and wrestled and pushed, but he could not duck the feet-footed Dusty, who danced and labbed him at will. Paul Collins was the referee, and Hammett Ashford, timekeeper. Tex Rickard Names Negro Fighters Among The Best Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 21—A Brown, Tiger Flowers and Harry Wills are placed next to the champions in their respective divisions according to a list issued by Tex Rickard. Jose Lombardo, who was knocked out by Kid Kapil, in the elimination contest for successor to Johnny Dunce's featherweight, crown, was placed fifth in that division while Chick Suggs, a race lad, who is the bantam and featherweight champion of New England, was not mentioned. The race is not represented in the Junior lightweight division and it is the same in the lightweight and welterweight class. The outstanding feature of the whole list is the sensational climax of Tiger Flowers, of Atlanta. Go, who is ranked next to Harry Greb middleweight champion Allentow. Joe Gans is given ninth place. Although stopped by Tom Gibbons Kid Norfolk is placed third on the light-heavyweight list. He outranke. Mike McTurgu, who is the worldly light, heavyweight champion. Young Sibling of Atlanta, Ga., is placed second on the list. Battling Sikh is another of the race boxers whose name does not appear in this division. Among the heavyweights the name of Harry Wills is placed second on the list. George Gudfrey is given eighth place. In summing up the total of race boxers on the list two are from Pana-bo, both from country Larry Estridge, who had won the fighting last year defeated by a man who outweighed him by 12 or more pounds, was not mentioned.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 23, 1925 PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Foreword: This column is inflected to give a brief resume and standpoint of the standpoint of inflection and summing Negro athletes, both amateur and professional. Preston News Service Florida for the "Tiger!" Changed from the charging kiss of the jungle beast to a pitiful lamb in less than four minutes of fighting. Tiger Flowers, who rose from nowhere and came to the top on the shoulders of Opportunity, trick and flicke goddess of chance, was sent hurbling into oblivion Friday night at Madison Square Garden. New York, to again start that long, tedious, tiresome climb to fame and fortune. Flowery, defeat was the result of over-confidence, a split second of carelessness after he knew that he could whip Dalenay, and the reaction concurrent from a period of overwork. Gritics may say, in writing the obliquity, of the "Tiger" that he was shoved along too fast, and that his feat of trying to emulate the policy of Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh jumping jack in fighting two or more fights a week, and, sometimes as many as two fights a night, made his overtrained. Regardless of what the cause might have been, Tiger is again at the bottom. He must start his long andardous climb again. And here's wishing him success threefold in his march. Herelbach was knocked out by Delaney and he's back. Crom Tiger, let's go. Athings athlete in connection with the Howard-Lincoln situation have reached a crisis. Howard has asked Lincoln point-blank whether or not the intends to live up to the terms of her agreement or abolie. The question will be answered by the Athlete Committee of Lincoln University when they meet. From this neck of woods, it appears as though Howard, in her efforts to gain as a school, is attempting to tear down the basis of the foundation upon which amateur athletics is built. Wake up, Howard! Be fair to the Game and Yourself! An individual can never be stronger than an organization of this kind, and when you are shown the error of your way, make things right! Harry Wills. It has been announced, recently refused to fight again this winter because of his brittle hands. Whether this report is true or not, or whether Wills has again decided to wait and bide his time for the longed-for Dempsey fight, is not known. Those in the know, say Wills refuses to take any more chances. And in closing, dear reader, remember that Dempsey's snail about retiring married and quitting the ring is hot air. He has been a champion in little more than name for the past year, and he might welcome he chance to thus evade Wills. But he'll have to fight! Flowers Loses To Delaney In Madison Square Garden New York News Service. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Carelessness, superinduced by what certifies believe to be too regular fighting, caused by downfall of F. W. H. McGee in Madison Square Garden. Friday tight in one of the most spectacular and sensational endings to one of the most sententious "built-up" fights in the history of flotania. Flowers lost to Delaney via the S. O. xone is greatly 43 seconds after the opening of the second round; flowers, up to that time, a vettable dry of unleashed ferocity and vengeance, fighting for the chance to get into big money circles and meet Irish, whom he knows he can kick, tropped his guard temporarily for a moment during the second round. He had been piling up points galore, and the huge stadium crowded, to fulfil his desire to win, and had been fairly rocked with the cheer which accompanied his wonderful exhibition. But then she end, Delaney, who shattered the hopes of Paul Bertenbach with one well-timed punch, evidently knew that he had no chance to cope with Flowers' speed and aggressiveness. He knew that sooner or later, the Tiger, becoming over confident, would lower his guard. Rushed to the ropes as the second round ended, his is just what happened. Then, like a bolt from the clear, sounded Tiger's death knell. A sudden position of position a kick with that peculiar motion which relays his best motion Delaney stepped in. Flowers sensed he coming of the punch, but too for even his amazing speed to carry him out of danger. Flush on the button, that terrific light landed. Down to the floor went Flowers. The huge stadium was silent, stunned with the sudden reversal of form the fight had taken. Courageous even in his pitiful position, with nothing between him and obsession but his gameless. Flowers cried hard to arise. But it was of no use. Delaney's hope-destroying-tight hand landed solidly, and when I landed, had paralyzed Flowers. Flowers was still trying to rise, when he fatnt count of ten ended the light and sent him back to the ranks of the minors, there to again start in his long, hard and devious journey towards fame and fortune. Up to the time of the first hell, Flowers, vicious over Johnny Wilson, Dan O'dowd, Joe Lohman and Billy Britton was a prohistoric favorite. Two fighters that Delaney had the matching power to show his oppressant and in exil the time that the fight ended so tragically for the追忆. Tomorrow had at 2:1 and 3:1 were making beding.

In the other fight, Bob Lawson defeated Rocsee Hall of Jersey City in the third stanza. LEONDI VICTORS Preston News Service PITTUSHURG, Pa., Jan. 21—Playing with a pep and dash which will carry them on another championship the famed Leondi quintet decisively defeated the St. Matthews Lyceum Club at Labor Temple, Friday evening, the final score being 55-38. From the first tap of the ball, the combination, Posey-to-Motion-to Hamp toun swing into action, with the lads rapidly pulling up points, soon had an advantage which could not overcome. W. P. Young, caretier and guard of the team, is still confined to his home on account of illness, and it is believed will hardly be able to play for some time. N. W YORK, Jan. 21.—Although the original Celtics, world champion basket ball team (white), beat the Renaissance. Big Fire at Manhattan Casino, last week, the loss of that game does not lessen the great esteem which the basketball world entertains for Bob Douglas' whirlwinds. Those who saw the game agree that the world beaters, with that world-breaking forward, Nathan Johnson, were beating the Celtics, and it resorted to rather questionable playing that enabled the Celtics to be victorious. The Big R. five fed all through the first half and played the Celtic to standlift in that half of the game. The speed set by the white team was terrific, but the Renegade boys maintained the pace. Keeping this speed against a team that weighed in the aggregate probably more than 300 pounds was a bit more than the lighter weight men of the Big R. five could do. At 25 points the Celtic tied the score, and from then on they held the lead at first a bare margin of one point, but the score went to 35. Hy Mount at formerly the Big R. five, was not at his best, and lost the tap repeatedly. Harold Mayers was in rare good form and played a game almost as good as that of the celebrated Holman. It was a great game and one well worth seeing. The two teams were scheduled to clash again Wednesday. SEND SMOKERS TO JAIL ASSOCIATED Negro Press. NEW YORK, N.

Forming the Citizens' Trust Company, a bank capitalized at $500,000, which acted as chief depository for Standand, then the Service Realty Company, which served as an outlet through which statements published in a New York magazine a year ago that he was worth $8,000,000, that actually he is a poor man, and that he had not profited personally by his stupendous business, debarring to build up a monument for the race and that lack of experienced help to run the various enterprises, a closing of credit in downtown banks and the frozen assets which formed many of the Service Company notes held by the Citizens' Trust, are pointed to as contributory causes. When the insurance Department of Georgia made an investigation, it demand that the Standard make its assets liquid and that the Service Company produce the funds might be put to work, he rapidly plunged into a chain of corporations organizing The Service Pharmacy Company operating three drug stores, the Service Printing Company, the Service Engineering and Construction Company, the Service Foundation, the Service Farm Bureau, the National Fuel Corporation, the Pioneer Mercantile Company and the Penny Savings Bank. His critics point to this rapid expansion as unbound and unwise and predicate the subsequent difficulties meet upon this pyramiding of values and the trickling of Standard money through the Service Company into these various enterprises. Even so, they do not accuse Mr. Perry of dishonesty, but agree that he had a dream and a vision which, and he been successful in laying through, grounded in hard work and hard work. The man.

This of course, may not be true. We hope it is a false alarm, and in absence of the Governor's word on the matter, we are inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. We, of course, acknowledge here and now, that it is the Governor's prerogative to appoint any one whom he chooses to fill any of the offices under his authority, yet, we feel that he would like to make selections of those who are qualified. In the case of Mrs. Curtis, she has been a member of the Board of Curators for almost four years, and during that time, she has made an efficient official.

According to press reports, Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, has been in to see President Coolidge urging him to appoint Efric G. Tidrington of Evansville as Register of the Treasury. The colored people of the United States generally, will be opposed to Tidrington's appointment to the office because of his unfitness for the place. It will be remembered that it was this same Tidrington who advocated and supported the Ku Klux Klan governor and many state offences of the same stripe in Indiana during the late election. He is the same man who, when he had the chance, deserted the interest of his own people for the hope of his personal reward. Every drop of blood, all the suffering, every tear, every murder of the colored people in America, as a result of the Klan's activities, have been approved by Tidrington's support of the Khuxters in Indiana and now he seeks, under the cleak of "Musse" Jim Watson, a traitor's reward. Let the angels hide their faces, and Benedict Arnold be praised if rewarding Tidrington is possible under these circumstances. The Honorable Charles Beecher Warch, newly appointed Attorney General of the United States, in accepting and taking the cath of office, assumed a very large responsibility. Not that others have not been similarly situated, but the fact that his predecessors have failed in the performance of their sworn duty, makes it all the more a reason why he should make an honest endeavor to enforce the Constitution of the United States. As Attorney General, he is the highest law enforcement officer of the land. Wherever and whenever, the federal laws, or the Constitution of the United States are violated, in letter or spirit, it will be his duty to prosecute the offenders. As a jurist of the first rank, he will readily see that the Constitution of the United States provides for equality of citizenship, and equality of citizens before the laws of the land. He will understand that the color scheme which has been written into the law, in many states, is in direct violation of the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. Equality and justice are blind. It is the duty of whose hands the execution and enforcement fall, to see no more. Everybody equal before the law, is what is contem placed by the provisions of the constitution The responsibility which falls upon the new Attorney General will test his fitness. If he is the right official for the place, he will not dangle behind the acts of his predecessors, but will strike straight from the shoulder at the wrongs making his own realm wherein dwells the spirits of the great men of the land who dared to do right because it was right THE PASSING OF C.

Jan. 21—Reveocation of a license recently granted for the establishment of a Negro cemetery near the Atlanta Child's Home in Ormewood was asked of the Fulton county commissioners in resolutions affording an afterpay for the Atlanta planning commission at its first session of 1925. More than seventy-five citizens in the vicinity of the site of the proposed cemetery protected.

The Commissioners told the delegation they would take the matter under advisement and let their decision be known later. HOOD CALLS GARVEY PLAN UNFEASIBLE Associated Negro Press. PHILIDELPHIA, Pa.

Disregarding the protest of Negro organizations and politicians the Senate confirmed "favorably" and the Senate confirmed the nomination of Isaac Meeklin to be Federal judge in the Eastern District of North Carolina. Meekins has been a Lily White in Republican politics of North Carolina. He aroused the opposition of Col. Henry L. Johnson, of Georgia, and other Negro politicians several years ago. At that time Meekins was before the Senate Judiciary Committee defending the nomination of John Lewis to serve in North Carolina. Johnson led a large delegation protecting the appointment of Linnene because he too was a lily white. It is said that Meekins told Johnson at that time he did not want the support of the Negro vote in his state, and that he thought it was a bad thing for the South for the Negro race to participate actively in politics. Linney was subsequently conformed. Negro organizations and politicians remembered this, and when President Coolidge selected Meekins for the judginghip they procured the record in the Linney县 and urged the Committee to reject the nomination. Senator Ernest of Kentucky is said to have presented the case of the protestors. Senators Over North Carolina, urged the confirmation of Meekins. It is also understood that Johnson carried the protest to President Coolidge. But the President felt assured that Meekins' alleged lily whiteism would not affect his administration of justice.

Y. Jan. 21.—A hat may cover up a multitude of things, but it is also sure to expose one your personality. The angle of which you wear it will publish your inner self to the wide and waiting world much more eloquently than your conversation, your loud vest or your bolsterous socks, according to the Central Lions Club at the Hamilton Club, on that very vital subject. Mr. Belden avers that he knows all about you before you get your hat off, so in meeting him there's no need for prolific introduction pr-en-graved cards. "When a man wears his skyline on the back of his head," declared Mr. Belden, "you may be sure he is the vital type of individual. If the lid is pulled down over the staircase, it denotes that the name detective it denotes a scrumbling sort of person. If the tile is turned down on the side, resulting in a total eclipse of the ear, it indicates a playful spirit, regardless of age or bulk. And if the roofing is affixed strictly on the level and severely parallel with the door, it beeps decisive ideals and intolerance of others."

Baker, Correspondent JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 20— It is to be hoped that the law makers now in session will appropriate suf- ficient money to establish an institu- tion for the incorrigible boys of the State. The Missouri Negro Industrial Commission has taken up this matter with vigor. The Secretary, R. S. Cobb, has shown that there were 170 colored boys in Boonville on September 23, 1924. These boys ought to have a fair chance to make better citizens. it appears that while the Superintendent is inclined to give them larger opportunities, there is sufficient prejudice in the institution to prohibit the colored boys participating in the various trades. This policy does not under colored management. The state of Missouri cannot afford to neglect this element. The thinking men and women of Missouri can do much by writing to the representative of their district and asking him to support this measure. The Honorable Walthal M. Moore has consented to present the Bill entitled; An Act to establish a reform school for the Negro boys of the state of Missouri. The Bill is found on page 44 of the Third Biennial Report of the Missouri Negro Industrial Com- mission. Those who are not familiar with this subject can obtain the report by writing to R. S. Cobb.

February, natal month of both of these salutes of liberty for the colored American, again summons our race to show, to the world admiration and grateful memory for these two workers and leaders in the struggle which brought freedom. Douglass became Lincoln's race leader, Lincoln the War President Emancipator. This year the National Equal Rights League, with the birthday of Douglas falling upon Saturday, especially urges observance for both anniversaries on Lincoln's date, Thursday, Feb. 12, 1925. Such a joint celebration typifies the spirit and teaching of the League, appreciation and co-operation, white friends, advocacy of race leadership and initiative in organized crusading. There can be no more creditable and useful duty for any race than to honor the memory and glorify the work and deeds of its own greats Who would be respected by others must first themselves show respect for their own, has been the rule in the history of rising races. Frederick Douglas began as an obscure chattel slave, freed himself and rose, chiefly by his own efforts, to orator, editor, lecturer, presidential advisor, federal official, U. S. diplomat, recognized race leader and oratorical genius, the most conspicuous public figure of his race in his generation. Not only is he the race's greatest statesman but he never was false to the cause of freedom and civile equality, he never compro- Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere, if of general interest and not too long, will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column.

W., Minneapolis, Minn. Marshall Bernadotta, who founded the present Swedish dynasty, had a Moorish mother, while Gustavus IV, the last sovereign but one of the great Vasa dynasty in Sweden, was called "The Moor," because of his very dark complexion. When he was born his grandmother, the old dowerager Queen Louise of Sweden, sister of Frederick the Great, opined that he was the son of Baron Munck from Fulkila and her daughter, the young Danish queens The Baron was, OL Moorish descent on his maternal side. The present Queen of Sweden and the reigning grand duke of Baden are great grand children of Gustavus IV, the Moor, and the now reigning king of Sweden's uncle, Prince Oscar, remonced his rights of succession in order to wed Eba Munck von Fulkta, a lineal descendant of handsome Baden, the father of Frederick IV.

What is inscribed on the tomb of David Livingstone, the great explorer? David Livingstone, the pioneer missionary, and great explorer who died in Africa in 1872 was thorughly acquainted with the laws of the nation. he was a native abolitionist. Today all that is mortal of him lies in the bellowed Westminster with his statue, gloriously dead, and inscribed upon his tomb are there, his last words: "All I can add in my solitude is: May Livingstone rest blessings some more in every American, British or Turk, who will help to build the great seat of the world she does today." mised the race's claims to full citizenship rights. Douglass' most, difficult, courageous and vital effort was his determination to carve an independent race, career, after years in the organized work of the beloved Abolitionists, with which he always cooperated, to show the world that his own race could "first strike the blow" of those "who would be free" and which human history decrees, every oppressed class or race must do to securely win the day. Douglass thus as champion of freedom is the pioneer, the patron saint of the National Equal Rights League, which perpetuates the work of Douglass and some leaders as Bangton, Holt Garnett, Downing, Haven, Hayes, and others. Appeals to the race in every place to hold a Douglass-Lincoln observance and in true devotion to Douglass to do so, through a permanent Equal Rights Committee or League organized now to preserve race initiative, leadership and self-determination for equality, as one necessary basic agency co-operating with all others to take aim. Especially however, the race is urged to appeal directly from every February 12 observance under whatever auspices it is held to President Coolidge, in the name of Lincoln, the Emancipator and Douglass, his recruiter of colored troops, who saved the country to re-establish the equality in federal employment which endured from Lincoln till the Southern democracy gained control, by abolishing all segregation of federal employees. Thus our race will its duty do. Wm. A. Stiehler, President, Equal Rights League. 156. Who was Princess Burges?

PINE BLUFF, ARK By W. B. Cleman By W. B. Cloman It does not require a very close observer to discover the existence among our group of the most neat and dangerous professional. Jonestown stage of our advance this condition should obtain. It is now that a shift should be ordered by the strong power of human reasoning. It is time that the professional and business men and women of our group were learning to agree to disagree without creating professional ruptures. Hang together, men, or you will surely hanz separately. Your opportunities for racial leadership stand out before you in colossal proportions. Selzo them now, today, and let's go forward, keeping step with them. We do not understand why any Negro in Pfluff or Jefferson County should refuse to become a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This association has outlined for this year the biggest program imaginable for racial uplift, racial betterment and racial emancipation. Much credit is due the N. A. C. P. for what is being done for the Houston riders and the saving of the twelve Elaine riders from the electric chair. This association is battling against the forces of segregation and discrimination in the country throughout this country of ours. It is destined to win back our franchise and obtain for our group a more exalted station among the citizenry of our common country. But to put over the program before us, we must have much money and many friends. We have both money and friends, but not enough of either. Every self-respecting colored man on woman should sacrifice time, if need be, and money especially to help build a race. God helps only those who help themselves. In the baby contest, which is now on the basis of an eight-year-old, to three years of age, we are going in gold to the most popular baby entering the contest. 1st prize is $10; 2nd prize is $5.00; 3rd prize is $2.50; other prizes consist of $1.00. This is a splendid chance to help our branch of the Association, and at the same time make some money. Send in the name and age of your baby, mother. Tickets will be placed in your hands soon. Our branch needs $500, and we can raise this amount if all of us will do our duty to ourselves. Prof. Dr. S. L.

Moton, eminent principal of Tuskegee Institute and President of the National Negro Business League, arose in Town Hall, New York, recently to declare that the South is making, better headway with the problems of race adjustment, than the North, in recent years.

The Honorable Charles Beecher Warren becomes Attorney General of the United States. Hailing from the state that gave birth to the Republican party, General Warren is known to be a man of high character, fair and square on all human problems. He was fair in Japan, Mexico, and in the 1820 contest that made Henry Lincoln Johnson National Committee. He will undoubtedly make an eminent Attorney General. The Honorable Perry W. Howard is continuing his official address at the Department of Justice, Washington, D. C. There are a number of business men in New York who have been "raising the dickens" about Chicago, and several other cities giving the Big own "cards and spades" on commercial progress, banks, hotel and the like. Now, there's hope for something doing in New York, Harlem has one branch bank in the racial section, with most of the business people making shows and colored clothing, clerks, Chicago banks, racial banks, and with assets of nearly $4,000,000. One of the white banks has a colored, feller, who is cordially received by both races. That's Chicago. The United States Senate, as in the past, comes to the rescue of Howard University, restoring the $221,000 appropriation. That type of southern Congressman, which, has been thriving on race prejudice like swallowed up in their own swill after March 4, and then human problems will be taken up on their real merit, "Thank God For a Garden." Roland Hayes and Marion Anderson are doing more to prove the lie of racial inferiority than a million Kluxers could stop in a dozen years. A lie is an awkward thing at heat, but when it comes to be oblivious, it makes the lie and the liar look more ridiculous than words can tell or artist paint. This Nordic superiority hunt and supremacy hush are reaching such a state of degradation that white people themselves are coming out in self-defense. The time points to a number of new people, men and women, coming upon the stage of action in the new developments of the new year of 1925. When they step out on the Stage of Action to do their "stunt," the G. P.—general public—will rise to exclaim: "Where did they come from? Never heard of them before." Fact is, they have all been in training, one way and another, sacrificing their lives for their years, awaiting their day. "Watch." Associated Negro Press NORTH. S. C.

C., Jan. 19. Two meetings of far-reaching importance to the race in North Carolina were held recently which gave evidence of what can be accomplished through organized short fast and intensive convention of the State Teachers' Association held at Wilmington which has a membership of two thousand. At this meeting reports were submitted showing conditions as they affect the rural schools and recommendations for improved facilities, longer terms and more pay for teachers in rural and graded schools. James E. Shepard urged another teacher to cooperate in the larger program for education and inter-racial good will. Dr. Shopard was re-elected president for the next ensuing year.

RALEIGH, N.C., June 21—During the third week of June farm agents held here last week many important matters were discussed regarding what is being done in various parts of the State of North Carolina to increase the production per acre, encourage and instruct farmers in the diversification of farming, rotation of crops, care of live stock; and the women in household arts and home economics. Considerable discussion was engaged in by various agents about the numerous problems confronted districts largely populated by Negro farmers. The valuable help that had been given the work of the news among Negroes by the more afflicted Negro ministers in the public sections in the county of Negro farmers to accept the instructions and advice of R. W. Galphin, eg. ent in Pamlico county, said that he was meeting with fair success with the entitle groth of farmers and was especially pleased with the results he had obtained among the Negroes: He said: "I find sections where Negroes constitute from 55 to 55 per cent of the population; they are handicapped greatly by the general financial condition." At this point, W. H. Barton said: "I want to explain why I have devoted most of my time striving to improve the farming conditions among Negroes. They are usually financially distressed and grow landowners need me. I have been able to develop a large friendship amping Negro preachers and have found them a a great help in getting the Negro farmers to see what I am trying to do for them. In fact I attend a Negro church practice Sunday and I attend the pastors serenity I set up and preach a sermonette, using as my text, "Soil Salvation;" and I must say that on numerous occasions I have been able to cause many of the more intelligent Negro farmers to give me hearty amens, and sometimes some of them to shout for minutes after I had finished speaking. But, the effect of what I had said did not stop church for the apologetic have gone to other fields and demonstrated fulfilment that they had learned the lesson—in increased production, better looking farms, homes, cleaner personal appearance, and general improvement along all lines." The pay of policewomen in New York has been increased to $2,500 a year. Wisest Colored Men Have Faith In God And Future, Declares Canon Of Cathedral Of Washington Preston News Service. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—Amon Phelps Stokes, canon of the Cathedral of Washington, speaking at Howard University, stated that training of leaders is the supreme need of the colored people. He spoke of the "improvement of Humanity" and expressed implicit faith in the patient powers of all races of mankind. "Booker, T. Washington, with whom I had a wide acquaintance extending over many years," said Cannon Stokes, "once told me he never met a colored man who was an atheist. Men of the Negro race, who are the wiseest, are those who have faith in God, in themselves in humanity and in the future." He moved to the faith which characterized Sebago, an African graduate of Hampton, now a missionary to Portuguese East - Africa, and Wole, son of the chief of the Kroos, now missionary to Liberia. Of Dr. Aggrge, an African doctor of philosophy from Colombia, now principal of an institute resembling Hampton on the "gold coast," he said: "Here was a man of idle faith in his own people, a people of deepest race. No man has done more to interpret inter-racial relations than Aggrge, because of his, unbounded faith in himself and in mankind." DR.

JESUS COMFORTS HIS DISCIPLES LESSON TEXT—John 14:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT—I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me—John 14:6. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Heavenly Home. JUNIOR TOPIC—Walking in Christ's Way. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC How Jesus Comforts His Disciples, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Sources of the Christian's Comfort. The hopes of the disciples were utterly shattered when Jesus told them about the cross. Jesus had told them that He was going away, and that they could not follow Him. Their hearts were flooded with grief. He consoled them by. 1. Pointing to the Reunion in the Father's House (vv. 1, 3). 1. He Asks them to Trust in God (v. 1). Faith in the Godman, Christ Jesus, will steady the hearts no matter how intense the grief or how great the sorrow. 2. He Informed Them That He Was Going to the Father's House in Heaven in Prepare a Home for Them (vv. 2). He assured them that there was abundant room for all. Heaven is an eternal dwelling place. 3. He Assured Them That He Would Come Again and Escort Them to Heaven (vv. 3). Jesus will not wait for His own to come to Him, but will come and call forth from the graves those who have died, and transform living believers, and take them all to be with Himself in the heavenly home forevermore (1 Thess. 4:16-17). 11. Revealing the Way to the Father's House (vv. 4, 11). THE ROOT (V. 411) Jesus informed the disciples that they knew the place to which He was going and the way. To this Thomas interposed a doubt, in answer to which Christ asserts that He is 1. The Way to God (v. 6). He is something more than a mere guide or teacher. He is the way itself. He is the door of the sheep-fold. 2. The Truth (v. 6). He is not merely the teacher, but the truth incarnate. In His incarnation the spiritual and material worlds were united, therefore every line of truth whether spiritual or material converges in Him. No one does not have Christ can ever have the real truth about anything. In Him we have the truth about man what he is, what he ought to be, and what he shall be in eternity. In Him especially we have the truth about God. 3. The Life (v. 10). Christ is not merely the giver of life, but He is the essence of life. Only those who receive Christ have lived in the true sense, since He is God incarnate, to know Him is to know God. 4. Assuring Them That His Work Was to Continue (v. 12:14). Jesus going away was not to end the work which He had begun. This no doubt meant that through the ministry of the Spirit-filled disciples, the work which Christ began would assume larger proportions. There would be a much greater number of conversions than under His ministry. After the Day of Pentecost the gospel did take a much wider range. During His ministry the message was congued to the Jews, while under the ministry of the disciples it was 'only' limited by the world itself. The disciples' ministry was ushered in by the conversion of three thousand in one day. IV. Promises Another Comfortor (v. 12:17). The word comfortor means literally one called to the side of another to give help, protection and deliverance. This comfortor was the Holy Spirit. Jesus was the Comfortor while here in the body. The Holy Spirit was to be "another comfortor." V. Assuring Them of His Return to Them (sv. 18:24). Although Christ went away He did not leave His disciples as orphans. The Father and the Son make their abode with the disciples who love and obey Jesus Christ. VI. Assuring Them That The Holy Spirit Would Aid Them in Remembering and Understanding His Words (vv. 25,26) This the Holy Spirit does by illuminating the minds of the disciples. VII. Giving the Legacy of His Peace (vv. 22,31) By His peace is meant the sorrow of soul which one enjoys who is reconciled to God, who knows that his sins are forgiven. It is not a question of how much we are to do, but of how it is to be done. It is not a question of doing more but of doing better—John Ruskin. - Do the duty that lies nearest there; which then knowest to be a duty! The second duty will already become clearer - Curlew. ST.

Lewis, pastor-in-charge Last Sunday was a triumphant day at Lane Taucaleb Church, M.E.C. church, Newstead and Enright avenues, for those things happened that always follow a successful revival, baptising and fellowshiping those who made their advent into the straight and narrow path. There were tears of joy from the two great crowds that made Lane Taucaleb brimming full last time before morning and night. For there they were joyful young, promising and with faith young. There were six pews filled with them all joining the forces ofight to help make the world better. They will be a strong addition to Lane Taucaleb's admirable roster.

Miss Laxin would be armed an Oxford Bible for memorizing Bible texts. She is the sixth of her brethren Bible. Many of us can not hear the long distance call of the world's need. Our hearts are like a crystal radio set of limited range. Even so, there is much we can tune in on in St. Louis. We speak of "Eastern" and "Western" atmospheres, meaning the dominant ideas, customs and sentiments. In "some places to be late or to leave while one is speaking, is out of caste. Can we create such a Christian atmosphere by our churches that pledging and shirking by not pledging and being ashamed and acting as an inspector instead of assisting in the singing and reading, will be to be out of harmony with the churches' ideals which should be the ideals of her Lord's. He paid to the last drop of His blood: He vowed, and paid His vows: He took part in the worship at the temple and went to syngogue at the hour of prayer. This he sacrificed and His loyalty will come to the right atmosphere for "Sacred Jeloudic Love" Peek.

Stanley brought out the three great lessons Christ taught the world thru his communications with women; lst. Through the Samaritan woman, mst should be wormhipped; 2nd. Through the quiet waiting on God; 3rd. Through the tha. The immortality of the soul. Mrs. W. P. Curtis then very vividly traced the rise of woman from the slave of antiquity, the plaything of medieval times to the present high position of privilege and influence. Christ in His teaching set the standard and what she is today she owes a sympathetic by nature with submerged feelings of her increasing responsibilities, she becomes a powerful factor in digging the education of the young along most wholesome lines.

SEE US. We Can Locate You. ANNOUNCEMENT We have been fortunate in having at our disposal the resources of the American Woodmen, in that it has enabled us to make loans to members of our group, on Real Estate. Had we not come on the scene when we did, with these resources at our command there might be today a different story coming from those who purchased property, on Enright, and other forbidden streets. Perhaps the layman does not know why it was so easy for him to renew his mortgage but those who are familiar with the situation do. We have not only made it easy for our group to secure loans on property, but we have been a big factor in stabilizing Real Estate values on property owned by us. We are not content at rendering a service alone to the group purchasing property. There are those who by economy and thrift have been able to save a part of their earnings; the widow, who on the account of the foresight of a beloved husband, is left with funds from insurance; the institutions and fraternals with endowment funds and countless others who can not afford to invest in uncertainties. For this group we are pleased to announce the addition of a bonding department to our business. We shall issue only Real Estate Gold Mortgage bonds bearing 6%. We have been particularly mindful of the small investor. Our bonds are in denominations of from $50 to $1000. The investor with $50 will receive the same courteous consideration as the one with $50,000. Your Bank may fail but your money in Real Estate Bonds is as safe as the earth itself. Space will not permit us to go into details but we invite you to give us a call. You owe it to yourself and your future generation to investigate. We particularly invite the most skeptical. Get our plan and take it to your banker or legal adviser. JAS. T. BUSH & COMPANY 3334 Pine Loan Correspondent For The American Woodmen.

"When the little bodies are burning with fever they are plunged into a pot of cold water.
