GARVEY'S FIVE YEAR SENTENCE IS AFFIRMED An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XIII NO. 41 The United States Circuit Court Of Appeals Upholds Lower Court Ruling Against Garvey. Was Convicted Of Fraud In Connection With Sale Of Stock In The Black Star Line Venture. NEW YORK. January 22. The United States Courts of Appeals, for the Eastern District, has affirmed the conviction of Marcus Garvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and now it seems that it is only a question of time before the Provisional President of Africa will be languishing his days behind the dark walls of the Federal Prison at Atlanta, Ga. Despite the fact that Garvey, upon hearing that he had lost his appeal, stated that it did not mean anything, one could readily see that he was very much, discouraged. He hinted that he would appeal to the United States Supreme Court at Washington, D. C. Garvey was convicted in June, 1923, in connection with the sale of stock of the Black Star Line, Inc. He was sentenced to five years in flanta penitentiary and was fined 000. The Black Star Line was organized to acquire vessels to transport Negroes to Africa, where a great man was to be established for the raft. Shares Declared Worthless The high court's opinion summarized the indictment as declaring that the entire scheme was to persuade Negroes to buy stock in the Black Star Line at $5 a share, when the defender's order would withhold the third representation, the shares were not, and in all probability never could be, worth $5 each or any other sum. The persons indicted with Garvey were acquitted and Garvey himself was convicted on only one count. In admiring the conviction, Judge Hough said; "It may be true, that Garvey fancied himself a 'Moses,' if not a Messiah, that he deserved himself a man with a message to deliver, but believed that he needed ships for the deliverance of his people; but with this assumed, it remains true that if his gospel consisted in part of exhortations to buy worthless stock, accompanied by false statements to the worth that he was guilty of artifice to defraud. "Stripped of its appeal to the ambitions, emotions or race consciousness of men of color; it was "simple and fraudulent device by which the object, (as so many others), was to ascertain how it could best unload upon the public, its capital stock at the largest possible price."

Jones, the secretary, was employed to act as business agent for the league, the purpose of which is to have a live man active, always on the field working for the promotion and encouragement of New Busi$b. The minimum salary in $1800 a year. This is possibly the first local league to undertake to employ a regularly paid-field agent to devote his entire time to work of the kind he would normally expect.

With a full time sold agent, the directors may be able to sell the weeks will be by far, earlier, for agents. The St. Louis Argus OPPOSITION TO THE MONTANA MARRIAGE LAW Legislation Is Cause Of Illegal Living. Constitutionality Of The Present Law To Be Tested Argus-Enterprise Service. BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 4.—A reprisal in the form of a case testing the constitutionality of a statute forbidding intermarriage between white and colored people will be made by the colored societies of Montana. If the state legislature does not repeal the law during the present session, C. T. Jones, president of the Butte Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. announced last week Many Live Together "There are, by a conservative estimate, least 20 cases of unmarried colored people and white people living regularly together as man and wife in Butte at the present, and at least a dozen cases of white people and Chinese living together in this city without sanction of the law." "I have positive information that in several counties of the state licenses to marry have been issued to members of the colored and white races, despite the law," Mr. Jones said. "I am acquainted with such a couple, a license and regularly married at Fort Benton. I believe that the law is ignored by county authorities far more than is supposed." Race Discrimination "The purpose of the hundreds of colored people of Montana in combating this law does not lie in a desire to promote such inter-marriage; it is to prevent a peculiarly bitter race discrimination." Mr. Jones declared. "Philipinos who are not citizens, are permitted to marry white people; white colored people who pay millions of dollars of taxes and who try to be good law abiding citizens, are told that they may not." Laws of this society are producing a continuing to produce eliminate free love between the two races. There are two and a half million illegitimate children in this country born of white and colored parents. I believe that the majority of illegal living together in this city between white and colored people would be prevented if there were no such law." Interrogated on the subject, Jeff Driscoll, clerk of the court for Silver Bow county, said that no marriage licenses are now or have been issued; in this county permitting members of the white race to marry members of either the yellow or black races. In the opinion of Mr. Driscoll, there is no equivocation in the statute concerning the matter. Says it's Invasif According to Mr. Jones, who was at Helen opposing the law when it was passed, the circumstances of its passage were so irregular as to bring about its nullification. A sentence before the judge, passed the senate, was defeated in the house and, after its defeat, was brought up again before the house without having been formally resurrected by the senate. Moreover, a clause in it effects an ex post facto violation of marriage contracts made in other states, he declares, in that marriagees contracted by colored and white people in other states are not considered valid in Montana. Ministers On Free Trip To The Holy Land Send Cable Relating Their Experiences INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 2.—Messages have been received from Revs. M. M. J. Key, K. H. Burruss, S. S. Jones and J. O. Halthcox, guests of the Madam C. J. Walker Mtg. Company on a trip to and from Palestine with all expenses paid. Upon debarking from the palatial Steamship Paris at Harra, France, January 14, they sent the following cablegram: "Arrived safely. All well." Writing three days later from the Hotel Bedford, Rue de l'Arcade (Madelene), their residence while in Paris, among other things they had this to say: "Fine thus far. No one could have bettered things. The people are as nice as can be. Only we'd I could stay in Paris. The people are all smiles. Best regards to all the firm, especially Madam Walker. Will be back in Paris in thirty days." After traversing lofty Switzerland and extensive sightseeing in sunny Italy, the party has reached Cairo, Egypt, from whence comes the following cabramet: Published In The Interest Of Colored People COLORED BOY CAUSES ARREST OF EX-MAYOR Accuses Bellhop Of Short-Changing Him. Boy Denies Charge. Ex-Mayor Out On $200 Bond. Robert Smith of 3055 Windsor place, a colored bellboy at the Madison Hotel, 1831 Market street, caused the arrest of Joseph Scott Wolff, former mayor and present Democratic Congressman, from Festus, Mo. forty miles south of his home, litter used abusive and becoming language towards him Wednesday afternoon. Mistook Bill Wolff, who is stopping at the Madison Hotel with his wife, sent Smith on an errand living him what he thought was a $10 bill. However, when Smith returned he gave the ex-mayor $1.50 change, whereon the former demanded the rest of his money. Smith, much surprised, explained that there must have been a mistake, that he only gave him a $2 bill. Curses Negro Wolff was infurred and filled a complaint with the clerk, but as he was unable to furnish any evidence, he was sent to the court alone; whereupon the concessions gave vent to his spleen, cursing the colored boy and threatening him. Smith immediately sought a policeman. He found traffic officer, Polosack, who took Wolff into custody for disturbing the peace, Wolff, his wife and Smith were taken to the Central District station. An effort to prefer Wolff to the police was made, the Wolffs was refused. Wolff was released on a charge of disturbing the peace after giving a $200 bond signed by a professional bondman for his appearance in the police court. Wolff is a native of Pennsylvanian, but has resided in Festus since 1907. He was elected mayor of Festus three times, and is a staunch Democrat. ELAINE MEN GIVE THANKS FOR FREEDOM Crowd Listens To Real Old Time Praise And Thanks Giving Meeting Held In Little Rock LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 4.—As an attribute of thanks for their freedom the last six men who recently received furloughs from Elaine through former Gov. Thomas McRae, attended the monthly meeting of W. A. K. C. He and told of their experiences and made some touching confessions. The men were Ed Hleks, Rev. J. E. Knox, Ed Coleman, Frank Moore, Fred Hall and Paul Hall. Rev. Knox was the first to speak. He told how he helped to make the twelve coffins that were to contain the bodies of himself and eleven companions after their electrocution. He admitted of walking around within the walls and had the chance to run, but that he would not attempt to escape because he was "trusting in the Lord." Tom Slaughter, the famous desperate who got absolute control of the "walls" for several hours in making his sensational escape from the death cell several years ago offered to free the Elaine men from the prison. He main behind the "walls." Slaughter was killed, yet they remain to tell the story. Frank Moses spoke next. He said, "I was sitting in my cell between my mother and my wife the Wednesday before the Friday of my scheduled electrocution in 1921: I told my mother, if I go I will meet you in heaven." My wife said, "What's Jesus for?" I took hope and I am able to stand before you all today. Frank Hall, Ed Hleks and Ed Coleman, who is 5G years old, also spoke, Mr. Coleman said that he had been the god of Elizabet Moses, Daniel and the prophets of old, now be my God, P. W. Hleks sang the bymn "Take It All to Jesus and Leave It There." After the hymn Ed Coleman happily sang an old plantation melody. All the men seemed to be supremely happy and had nothing but praises for the good citizens, both white and black, who fought for their freedom. They said that they would serve the Lord all the remainder of their lives and do all they can to prove themselves worthy citizens. They especially thought the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for its untrifling efforts in their behalf. Mrs. Frank Moore, the wife of Frank Moore, who worked so faithfully for the liberation of her husband and the other Elaine men, was introduced in Indian Secular Jongles who led the fight for the freedom of the men. She told how when she came ores to Little Rock to r.e. a lawyer for the Elaine men and, went to judge Jones, he did not ask about any money, but took the cases. Mrs. Moore lived four years with her host and in the death cell and one year with him on the Cummins farm, later given special permission for the route to do so. She held re- RIOT CALL STIRS FISK UNIVERSITY Students Stage Demonstration Against White President's Administration And Then Retire Quietly. Boys Pulled Out Of Bed. It Is Claimed, Mattreated And Abused. Some Were Thrown In Jail. CITIZENS HOLD A PROTEST MEETING Special to the Argus NASHVILLE, Teen, E. S. Fisk university was stirred by a riot call last night, but there was not a riot. Male students staged a demonstration at the university against班 F. A. McKenzie, the head of the school runny. After the demonstration was over and the students had retired, the president sent in a riot call, and it is said that fifty police, with riot guns and side arms invaded the camp, searched buildings and opened trunks forbly. Students Mistreated Although all were quiet, the students were pulled out of beds, cursed, maltreated and abused, then ushered groups to the president's office; whatever happened, leave Fisk, or subscribe to McKenzie's riling. The President is white. There was no violence by the students and no casualties except those inflicted upon students by the police. No white teachers were threatened, and no race issue brought up save by the president. Students Arrested Five students were led in jail. They were: Robert Anderson, Charl McKenzie, Louisville, Edward Goodwin, T Taylor, Tuskester, Charles Lewis, Chattanooga, Warriors are also out for J. B. Crawford, Texarkan and George W. Streater, Nashville. Ex-Governor Roberts has been retained as counsel and the trial is set to begin. Mr. Roberts, the leading citizens of Nashville, held an indignation mass meeting today. LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM JEFFEENSON CITY, MD, Feb. 4—The Legislature is now running at full speed and the usual number of bills are being introduced. For some reason the work of the Legislature has been slow getting underway, and both Houses are now behind their schedules; so it is evident that many bills will receive little or no consideration. The interests of the colored people are being looked after better than ever before. Representative Walthal M. Moore of St. Louis, serving a second term, is now a well-seasoned legislator and is looking after matters with energy and efficiency. Prof. B. F. Bowles, formerly a member of the Constitutional Convention and now President of the Federation of Organizations of Missouri, is here pushing the general "program" of the "organization, which includes a liberal appropriation for the Lincoln University, a state industrial school for Negro boys, a Tuberculosis Sanitarium, better school conditions in the county districts, and provisions for the feeble minded. All of these measures are being vigorously pushed. Several of these matters can be taken care of in the general appropriation bills; but Mr. Moore has introduced a special bill, House Bill No. 132, to restore the Lincoln University appropriation, which was lost on a technicality; and the Federation through School District has introduced a bill, House Bill No. 185, to establish a "State Industrial School for Negro Boys," to relieve the unsatisfactory conditions at Boonville. It is worthy of remark that all of the important factors looking toward better conditions are working in harmony; and apart from the general cry of lack of money and need of economy, the outlook is good. Among visitors from the cities who have had important business here last week were Mrs. Myrille Foster Cook of Kansas City and Editor J. E. Mitchell of the St. Louis Argus.

America's Blackest Blot Hits Lowest Mark In All History Only Eight Lynchings Reported For 1924. Against Fifty-Seven In 1922 And Two Hundred Fifty- Five In Single Year Generation Ago. NEGRO IS NOT INFERIOR, SAYS MO. PROFESSOR University Of Mo., Instructor In Sociology Says "I Can See Negroid Blood In The Characteristics Of This Audience." Tells Whites That Racial Trouble Is Due To Their Failure To Recognize The Negro's Capability. COLUMBIA, Mo., Feb. 4.—The Negro is a regressed element in our society," said Herbert Blumier, instructor in sociology in the University of Missouri. "We generate him in theatres, street cars and everywhere. There is no opportunity - for him to parliate in cultural things. He is represented politically, educationally, industrially and socially." Mr. Bumer then went on to tell some of the many ways in which the Negro is repressed. He said that in some parts of the South only $2 was spent on the education of the Negro as compared to $10 spent on whites. He said that in politics the Negro was more educated and polished out the fuel that there was not a single Negro sonor or congressman and not a single Negro representative in states where they outnumbered whites. "There is no proof that the Negro is inferior. This has been proved by the reports of anthropologists and others. The white men is the most hybrid race in the world today. I can see negro blood through characteristics of this audience. I can see black blood and mixed with the native stock. Therefore many of the nations of Europe show negro blood. Many people think that the Negro race in Africa had no culture, but the belief is absolutely absurd because he has enjoyed high civilization," said Mr. Humeur. Blumer also brought out the important part the Negro played in the World War and also the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. "The reason for racial trouble today is that the whites will not accept the blacks as able of doing as much as the whites," said Mr. Blumer. MASS MEETING MONDAY NIGHT AT TABERNACLE There will be a public mass meeting, of all the Negro citizens at Tabernacle Baptist chubb. 2724 Pine street, Monday night, February 8, at 8 p.m. The meeting is being called to carry out an unselfish civic movement for Negro citizens in St. Louis and vicinity. It is hoped that all will come and consider together race interests as citizens, and give whatever assistance they can to this race movement. Principal Frank L. Williams, Attorney Roberts and Dr. H. W. Evans will deliver addresses. Members of the citizens council committee which is in charge of the affair are: S. A. Mosley, O. C. Maxwell, H. W. Evans, J. T. Caston, H. F. Abbott, C. M. Powell, H.

NEW YORK- Feb. 4. —There has been a steady decrease in the number of lynchings throughout the United States for many years, and an unprecedented low record has been established for 1924. A generation ago some 255 lynchings of both blacks and whites were reported in a single year. The records show that fifteen lynchings of number of lynchings varied from 80 to 100 a year. In 1922 the number had roped to 57, while last year there were but 33 lynchings for the entire country. The official records of lynchings for all causes is full of surprises. A careful analysis has been made of the situation for the past forty years by the department of research and records of Tuskegee Institute. Of the 57 lynchings reported in 1922, for instance, 15 were alleged to have been due to homicides, five to felonious assaults, 14 to attacks on women, three to theft, one to insults to whites and 14 to other causes. The year 1924 sets a wholly new record, there having been only sixteen lynchings recorded for the entire country. The proportion of whites to the blacks traced is far greater than is generally known.

CONFERENCE DENVER, Colo., Feb. 4.—Preparations are already under way here for the Sixteenth Annual Spring Conference of the N. A. A. C. P., which will be held June 24.

The aid of the colored citizens has been enlisted in the project.

Whites lynched in the 19th century, but quaintly happened that there were more whites lynched than blacks. The largest number of lynchings occurred in Georgia, where the average has been a trifle more than 13 a year for a generation. Mississippi comes next with about ten lynchings a year for all causes, and next in turn Louisiana and Texas. The proportion of whites to Negroes lynched in the southern states is very low. The ten states in which lynchings are most common are: Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky Tennessee South Carolina and Texas. The total number of lynchings in Georgia during the past 35 years is 448. The four states holding the highest records for lynchings whites for all causes have been Montana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In Montana there have been 33 white lynchings in this period to but one Negro. Oklahoma has 33 whites lynched to 33 Negroes; Montana 33 whites and Negroes; and Wyoming 33 whites to seven Negroes. New York has had but one white and one Negro lynching throughout the entire period. A Square Deal For Every Man President B.J.

Will Exchange DAY FOR BOBBED HAIR Programs With Central For The bobbed hair had a narrow escape of being put out of business last Monday night at Lane Tabernacle when a jury stood 4 to 2 for convicting Mrs. N. O. Bracy, a prominent society matron for bobbing her hair. A packed house and standing room was at a premium. The complaint was filed against Mrs. Brazy by the Lane Tabernacle Literary Society Circuit Court. Attorney John A. Davis presided on this occasion, and six men acted as jurors. From the time of the challenging of the jurors, until the report, "hung jury," intense interest was shown by sympathizers on each side, in selecting the jury, Sam Andrews, the bondman, who had been drawn in the panel, was the first to be disqualified by admitting that he was prejudiced against bobbed hair, hence, could not give a fair and impartial jury. The case was conducted with all the formalities of a regular court. Challenges, objections sustained and over-rules, took on all the proportions of the most stubbornly contestable cases before the state courts. A. L. Carder, R. L. Morehead and Dr. N. O. Brey were council for the defense, being advised by Attorney Waddy, while Colonel J. C. Campbell and G. A. H. Ware were prosecutors being advised by Attorney Frank W. Clegg. Attorneys for both sides made impassionate pleas to the jury as to the effect their decision would have upon society. Attorney (Judge) John A. Davis, in his instructions to the jury, told them that physical facts should be taken into consideration, and also said that the habits and customs of modern women might be considered in rendering their verdict. After the jury was out about half an hour they reported that they were satisfied with the verdict. It was found that the jury stood 4 for conviction while 2 held out for acquittal. The personality of the jury was: G. W. McCord, Montel Graves, Edw. Richardson E. E. Phleps, P. E. Ross and Clarence Strahoun. The Lane Tabernacle Literary Society meets every Monday night and a lively program is rendered. St. Cecilia's Guild Dance, Monday evening, February 23, Paradise Hall —Adv. Marian Anderson In Recital Marian Anderson, distinguished contralto, will appear in recital at Porto. February 11. "Miss Anderson, because of the unusual breadth and richness of her voice, has delighted audiences throughout America. Fullerton Waldo, Music Critic of the Public Ledger, Philadelphia, wrote: "Her program contained nothing weak or unworthy, and she brought to it a serious and conscientious disposition as well as a voice of exceptional resonance and richness in the lower register. The technical particulars of intonation, enunciation, sustained voice, placements, instrumental breath control are admirable." H. E. Cherrington of the Columbus Dispatch said: "She has the vocal substance to be one of the greatest singers of all races in America." Miss Anderson is being presented by the Gamma Omega chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority which, each year for the last four years, has presented in recital some dis-tinguished artist. The proceeds from this recital go to a scholarship fund from the University of scholarships he awarded in June to Sumner girl graduates. Enjoy Marian Anderson, our greatest Contratto singer, with the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, February 11, at Pore, 8:30 p.m. Adv. N. A. A. C. P.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 6, 1925 One of the biggest events of the year will take place Sunday at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch W. Y. C. A. The occasion will be the observance of Race Relations, Sunday, a day set apart by the Federal effort of Churches for a special effort toward racial co-operation, and good will. As a part of their effort to carry out the effort, the Young Women's Christian Associations are exchanging programs with their white parent associations on that day. In St. Louis, the Phyllis Wheatley has arranged an exchanging program to be present at the Central association and the Central association has done the same thing in regards to the Phyllis Wheatley Branch. Miss Eva Harbison, Field Secretary of the Home Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church, is to be the main speaker at the Wheatley Branch. Because of her missionary endeavors in India and other parts of the Orient, Miss Harbison is peculiarly fitted to deliver a "race relations" address. Accompanying her is a pagan of seventy girls under the direction of Miss Emma Holly, Industrial Secretary of the central association. The other white participant on the program will be Mrs. Wall of the American Motion Picture Company, who will lead a service of mass song performances by the representatives of the various Sunday Schools of the city, and also render a vocal solo. Mrs. Julin Buckner, Mrs. Walter Gloss and Mrs. Minnie Scott Lilly, or East St. Louis are the race representatives on the program. Miss Arsania M. Williams will preside, Dr. Geo. E. Stevens will invoke divine blessings upon the gathering. The program is to begin promptly at 3:45 and will be held in the gymnasium, 711 North Garrison. Every body is urged to come early, as there is likely to be a premium on seats. At the Central association, the Rev. O. C. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church is to be the speaker. Mrs. Zelle Cole-Eyans, Mrs. Walter Cannon and Mrs. M. D. Young, executive secretary of the Wheatley Branch will accompany him in the make-up of the balance of the program. The Rev. Mr. Armstrong will be the white speaker at Central. While this is the third annual observance of Race Relations Sunday, it is the second time that Wheatley Branch has had a program, and the first time that there has been an interchange of programs between the branch and the central body. It is hoped that the impression made by the participants at both places will be such as to promote a better understanding between the races. Marian Anderson pleased the Philharmonic Society of Philadelphia. She will please you, too. Feb. 11. Poor. Adv. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH The church choirs will be out next Sunday morning in their new robes to sing the gospel with a new devotion. Sister Corneal, our chorister, is preparing to give at the church every third Sunday a musical program from 4 to 5 p.m. Pastor Stevens will give a special message next Sunday morning from the subject "Christian Stewardship. The public is invited to come and hear him. The "Woman's Day" last Sunday was a great day in the life of the church. It was largely attended, and a fine program was rendered. This coming Sunday will be an after-math of that great event to gather up the fragments. You don't know. I don't know what it's all about. But we can find out at the Cassandra Dance, February 11, Pythian Hall. Adv. LINCOLN-DOUGLASS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Feb. 3.—The local Branch N. A. A. C.

NIGHT AT BOOKER-WASHINGTON Bob Russell did not put on "Twenty Minutes in Hell" until Thursday night at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The first half of the week, however, showed a fast speed musical comedy of the typical Russell type, and the big audiences were well pleased. On Thursday night the entire program was changed. The opening was a shadow screen specialty in which the performers acted behind a thin curtain, their shadows only, being visible. It represented doings on street in the undergarments, the tretter usually in the participants had to flee to save their lives. This had the appearance of them ascending into the air. A number of specialties followed including: a song "Jolous" by Carrie Williams; two males as "Street Sweepers" in a round of sarcastic squabbling and eccentric dancing; a medley of choruses and dances by the company, aerobic dancing by James Williams; a comedy sketch, "The Monkey Man," Rodgers and two girls in an artistic dance; Baby Mack and company with an underworld song and dance; Eleanor Wilson and girls singing and dancing "I'm Goin' South." The sketch "Twenty Minutes in Hell" closes the show. It presents a number of characters who are doomed to hades for misdeeds on earth. LaJoy as the devil, and Robinson as his comical assistant are the leading characters. It's a comedy, drama, and entertaining. Robinson succeeds in buying the power to rule hell and laziness after destroying the devil. The entire show is good, and is pleasing large crowds. SANDY BURNS AND COMPANY AT THE BOOKER NEXT WEEK Sandy Barns will return to the Booker Washington next week with an entire new show. This is one of the top-moist entertainers on the stage and the outfit made a big hit in an engagement a few weeks ago. You can always depend upon "P. P. Ashes" for the best. 'CHOCOLATE DANDIES' IS BIG PRETENTIOUS PRODUCTION Noble Sissie and Eubie Blake and their massive company, of colored players are at the American Theatre this week, presenting 'Chocolate Dandies.' The production is filling the house at each performance. The show is equally as good if not better than 'Shuttle Along.' Blake never played the piano as he is doing this week. Whether in the pit or on the stage, he is the center of attraction. In the show with Sissie, the pair seated in a big hive have to ease away from the audience. The production is pretentious, as The production is pretentious as to grand ensembles, settings and costumes. There are a number of beautiful scenes. The singing and dancing numbers all draw encores, so scandalous. The action centers on the last day of the "Bammy Fair." There is a horse race with three real horses and jockeys. The horse owned by "Mose," played by Lew Pawter, wins the race; the purse, $10,000, is about to bankrupt the Afro-American bank in Bamyville. Miss, the directors elect Mose president, though he cannot read and write, and then work methods of finance upon him to such effect that in a few minutes his $10,000 has shrunk to a dime. At the same time, he is convinced that he can earn $10,100 Mose serves as president but runs all the employees away and finally absconds himself. There is much fun if the doings at the bank Jimmie Ferguson, as the porter, makes a big hat with his pantonine accompanied by Joe Smith on the cornet. Space will not permit a detailed mention of all the many features and performers. The Four Harmony Kings make a bigger hit than ever, and W. A. Harm has a special number, singing "Old Black Joe" Lotte Gee and Ivan IH, browning score especially Jasmin Lane and "Jasmin Love." Mr. Sissle is always in evidence and wins encounters, Josephine Baker, the St. Louis ecstatic chorus girl, stops the show, Valada. Show is a singing and dancing hit. Joe Smith and Howard Elmore are unusual dances. The engagement is for this week only. THE JESTAMERE Robert McKim and an all-star cast will be featured in "Out 'Of' The Dust" at the Jestamere Theatre this Saturday. The attraction for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be Colleen Moore in "So Big." The story based on the novel by Dutch settlement bear Chicago in the latent part of the past century, goes her away from the frivolous flapper roles with which she has been associated. It presents her as the wife of a stolid Dutch farmer, toiling amidst the cabbages and radishes of a truck garden. A baby son is all that makes her life worth while and, as the toils, she visualizes the time when he will become "oo-o big" in this world of affairs. William Christy Cabanne's thrilling love story, "The Sxth Commandment," will be the Wednesday special. "Tarnish" will be presented next Thursday and Friday. The basic structure of the picture hinges on the love of a boy and a girl, with 4 gold digging manicurist causing a conflict. It is a comedy drama of everyday life, principally that of youth. It reveals certain issues in life, with a sober, simple, yet sweetening, grasp, bringing to light the fact that lust may tarnish, but that tarnish can be cleaned away. May McAvoy, Marie Preorst and Ronald Coleman have the leading roles.

Y., Feb. 4.—The Deacons, a nation wide club of Masons interested in closer relations between performers and layfolks of the craft, are functioning in a surprisingly effective manner. During the closing weeks of January the organization engaged in social activities that have been directed in directions that have exceeded the house of the founders. At Columbus, Ohio, through Central Vice President W. C. T. Ayres an arrangement was made for the appearance of Shakee and Blake and the Four Harmon. Kings at a special concert in the executive chambers at the state capital for the governor, and Senior Deacon Hately, secretary of the Spring Street Branch Y. M. C. A. staged a concert in the state capital of the Allen and Stokes show as the guest of distinction. He is the vice president at large of the order. In Chalmatti, the local corner, composed of 21 Masons of high rank, under Senior Deacon Ike Paul, tendered the Chocolate Daniels a reception at the Sterling hotel. In New York, J. A. Jackson, National Secretary and Founder of the order, delivered an address at the Y. M. C. A. Forum on "The Performer" in which he explained the purposes of the club. Inapolis, Jose Sharwood tendered the Order to Dewey Pickall of New Haven, traveling with the Yale Glee club. He was accorded a welcome reception by Corner 25 on his return home. At Pensacola (Flat) National Director Salem T. Whitney and the members of the Whitney and Tufts show were the guests of local Masons while Worshipful Master Pogue administered the degrees of the Order to the musical director.

(Billboard) Jackson Associated Negro-Press: NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 4—Sunday, January 25, was a justifiably busy day, one with happenings of the sort that leaves lasting impressions. It started with a sad function that was spiritually exiting. Chas Carroll Allison was laid to rest with ceremonies conducted by the Rev. Hays and some Pentecostal organizations in New York, a church in church to a church had been a Deacon. He was a little bit of a man, physically but, what a big exhibition of the capabilities of our people was his three score and eleven years. He and his wife gave to the world four children, every one of whom is a demonstration of the march of Negro progress. There is an editor, a welfare executive, an art dealer and a singer who has been declared one of America's 15 most beautiful countries. There is quality production that refutes in just one family a lot of traducing arguments of those who do not like us. In another church, Sālem Baptist, at a meeting, under the auspices of the Urban League, Heywood Brown, a famed columnist, declared that some day an overwhelming artist will be born to the race that would by his very artistry wipe away all prejudice. His brief, dramatic, and encouraging speech showed concern sively that the often critic believes that often contended that the performer, actor, musician and vocalist of the group are charged with a tremendous responsibility as being the liaison officer between the races; and the important link in the chain of harmony. Prof. Kelly Miller addressed a large assembly at the 135th street Y. M. C. A. on *Ge. Everlasting Stain*. on Sunday, February 2. The father of the Sanhedrin well deserved the ovation accorded him. The next day came the passing of Sadie Britton, who, with her husband THE STORY OF A GIRL WITH AN UNCONQUERABLE SOUL! Life to her was just one grand adventure in which anything could happen. Fate reared her in luxury, only to try to make her a drudge. Here was a gay, adventurous spirit, that was never to die, though it often led her into trackless wastes. But always that damnless spirit triumphed over fate. Even in dreary communities she found joy and beauty. Life has no weapons against a woman like this.

Then Bill Potter of the Philadelphia Tribune wandered into town to rehearse a wedding that has been scheduled for February 6.

Grant Gilmore, the author and dramatic writer and William Stewart, owner of the hotel that bears his name. They came on a political ornand, and believe me, they went right after the big National fellows by direct methods. Now comes the "personal publicity paper" published by Nassau University that has demonstrated that he believes in publicity and advertising. As its advocate, he is frankly advertising for clients. We admire the candor of his ad, even though we wonder why he does not use a wider range since he wants to reach showfolks. Arthur Lyon, the impressario of Negro talent, spent a couple of hours talking with several writers about the characteristics of our performers and he has pointed out some elements that he has learned that that he was promptly asked to write a story in the subject for several publications. The billboard hopes to be favored with his authoritative treatment of the subject. 1 wm May McAvoy, Marie Prevost Ronald Colman, Norman Kerry and Harry Myers A TALE OF TRUE LOVE AND A TARNISHED HEART A mirror of life as lived by some of the reckless youth of today with a revelation of the beauty of real love and the reckoning that comes to those who furnish their souls with "wild oats" A drama so tense it will quicken the pulse and bet the heart atinge with its big moments of love, romance and thrill.

Lefflingwall avenue. The president, Dr. M. S. Smith, presided. Reports were read by the pastors of the city and suburban churches. According to the reports it appears that they are meeting with success, both spiritually and financially. The Rev. Theo Morrison of Knolech, read a paper, "Is Conscience a Safe Guide?" The essayist showed that he had given the subject careful consideration. He gave simple proofs of the truth, never revealing time illustrations that it is not always a safe guide. Conscience is a safe guide only to the man or woman who has been limited with the life and principle of the lowly Naxarene. Thanks were extended him for his very instructive and inspiring message. the chairman of the Clytic Committee, Dr. Noah Williams, pastor of St. Paul's church, spoke on the great responsibility of this committee and asked that the pastors co-operate with him in making it a success. The president called on Dr. C. Mowell, a most visible member of the pastors' committee, to be invigorating some discrimination against our people in the postal service of the city. He gave a full report of his finding and read a letter that was forwarded to the Post Master General at Washington. The powers that be seemed to- forget that, the Negro is an American citizen and as such is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a citizen. The reporter is thrice happy to see that the ministers and laymen of this great A. Z. church have come to the vital interest of our people. We cannot gain a place in the skies except we gritate and light for our God given right. The president of the Alliance, is asking again, that the ministers and their congregations will make Sunday, Feb. 5, a sacred letter day. Let the people know something about the founder of our great church, Richard Allen. The American white men glory in their George Washington, let us, too, glory and extol the name of Richard Allen who makes it possible for us to have true religious freedom. He has incubated in the ripe a true spirit of independence. As long as the Negro race can imbibe the spirit of Richard Allen it will never fall.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 6, 1925 THE NEW YORK TIMES In keeping with his idea of services to the public., Mr. Gus Suss, undertaker, has installed the latest musical instrument, in the form of a two thousand five hundred dollar ($2500) pipe organ in his chapel at 2111 Lawton-boulevard. This organ is equipped with music on rolls of the most sacred kind, especially those pieces used on sad occasions. Speaking of this added service, Mr. Scott had this to say: "Music is welcome in time of distress. There is nothing done or said that is as comforting and soothing as the music offered. Compared with organ music, all other music seems harsh and unsympathetic for funeral services, and that is why I purchased this kind of organ. Anybody can play it and get the sweet music from it." His is the first pipe organ of its kind among the colored undertakers of the city. Mr. Scott has been in Business sixteen years. As a young man he worked with Krome Undertaking Company for five dollars a month for a long time, then went to Jesse Arnot Livery Company where he worked for seven dollars a week. Leaving there he entered the Pullman service at fifteen dollars a month, but saved his money until he was able to go into business for himself. Before installing the large organ, he had his chapel remodeled installing beautiful ceiling lights which give soft candle effects.

The feeling of sadness came because now, that they have finished Summer High. I wonder what are they to do next? In other words, what has the future in store for these young folks? Why Auntie, 19, of the class will be teachers. Perhaps so. Mabel, but what of the 72 who are not, to be teachers? Some, I know, will go to other schools and some (especially girls) are too young to leave parental care and there are still others, who, no doubt, desire to attend other schools but whose parents have not the means with which to send them.

I send my good wishes to the club for this occasion. Francis Fights Jim Crow In The Virgin Islands Associated Nergo Press ST. THOMAS, V., L. I., S., Feb. 4. Leaders among the Negroes here are of the opinion that the recent imprisonment of Rothschild Franks' editor of The Emancipator, is not only an injustice to him but also a link in the chain being forged by the white naval regiment here to produce policy of prejudice and segregation. Mr. Franks is now out under bail while his case has been appealed to the Federal district court in Philadelphia. It will be handled by a New York attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union. He was sentenced to thirty days penal servitude January tenth on a charge of criminal libel. The article which was responsible for the charge was published in his paper and read as follows: "Something is wrong with our police force, everybody is saving." 'Recently a policeman fired a shot which lodged in the tub of a private citizen, then he attempted, to make a false agrest, and before we his character to go to press he used his citizenship to frame a woman he was ordered to take under understand. Merchants and other citizens are indignant. How long. O Justice! how long!!' George Washington Williams, the white American before whom Francis is supposed to have been tried and convicted is described by the political enemy of his liberties as a political enemy of his liberties. Francis opposed the appointment of Williams. The people of the islands believe that events leading up to the Francis trist and imprisonment show conclusively that white supremacy is on the way in the Virgin Islands, despite the fact that 98% of the population is colored and race prejudice has been hitherto unknown. Recently the wife of a naval officer suggested segregation in the public schools between the children of the white Americans and those of the citizens here. Incidentally, the inhabitants of the islands can boast a literacy test of 98% more than the American malleable. In a paper recently got up, several men expressed their sentiment against those individuals who try to sample in the dust the lofty culture and ideals which the founders of the American republic fought and died for; and promised to fight for the eradication from the islands what purports to be segregation of thought segregation of justice, segregation of equality and of freedom.

It can not be Mabel, unless it is opened by us and that is not being done. We have but a little to offer our young folk here in St. Louis. We have not been able to best things from our young folks, but we are not doing what we should to help them to do great things. Why are we not willing to do as much for the young today as Fred Doughash, Sojourner. Truth Booker T. Washington and a host of others did for us. It was harder for them then, than it is for us to-day. They were not struggling for themselves, but for those who, were to come after. Today, all of us are enjoyed by their abode. What do you think should be done, Abbie? Why Mabel, I think it some of those who are boarding large sums of money at small interest in banks controlled by people who are using that money to provide places for their own, would take some of that money and invest it in businesses where these boys and girls could find something to do. I feel that a good part of the problem will have been solved, I think I have said enough for this time Mabel, as the hour has grown late so I must say good-bye. Godby, Auntie.

UP Patrons Will Be Favored The WEALTH OF NEGROES HELD AT ABOUT $2,000,000,000 Preston New Service WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4—Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, for the last 20 years compiler of the Negro Year book, after a recent survey stated that the wealth of the Negroes in America at present is about $2,000,000,000, which is one and a half times as much as it was in 1912. The amount expended in 1924 for Negro education totalled $400,000,000, as contrasted with $13,376,561 in 1912. Up to that year about 5,000 Negroes had completed college courses. In the last 12 years the number has doubled. During the past decade, the Negro, according to Mr. Work, has shown a decrease in rate and an increasing health span. In 1912 the health rate a thousand was 22.9 while in 1922, ten years later, it was 157 a thousand. For Negro policy holders, in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1912 the average expectancy of life for males and females of all ages from two years was 41.3. In 1922 the expectancy for males was 40.9 years and for females 40.1 years. Mr. Work noted tendency in policies toward independence on the part of the Negro voter, and an increasing tendency to vote the Democratic ticket locally. He also demonstrated a large increase to public office. Other features set forth in the year book are the entry and activities of colored women in politics, and the gradual increase in the South of the number of Negroes allowed to vote, the increased effort of Negroes to break down the "white primary" in the South, and the population shifts of the last 13 years.

Feeders of Brothels "The folk dances become the way and door to the dancing school; the dancing school is the feeder to the dance hall and public ball room; and these in turn, lead to the brothel, the drinking spaces and gambling dens. Statistics show that from one-third to two-thirds of the prostitutes in our large cities come from the public dance halls and ball rooms. Grown Men Dancing Partners "A somewhat careful investigation by myself and other ministers, of the attendants at the public dance halls in this city of Saturday afternoons and weekdays, the day by day by far the large majority of female participants at these places, and at these times, are young girls between the ages of 13 and 18—resumably school girls—and that their male partners in the dances are, in most cases, men ranging in age, from 30 to 60; and if we are to judge from the appearance and conduct of the majority of these men they are anything but decent. **Conditions Growing Worse** "Dance halls and attendance there upon in this city are on the increase and the conditions surrounding most of those places and the conduct of the students are morally worse each year. Something must be done eventually to put dancing out of the public schools—an inducement to the practices and evil thinking."

Dr. Frank brought up the klan in its dealings with the race problem in America, which he says is a vital question that all the theologians in Christlandism can not theorize out of existence. His lecture was on the three challenges of 1925 and he characterized religion, race, and radicalism in "The Great War." He daydied and the lauges which throw down to us the challenges for 1925. He asked for a pragmatic attitude toward religion, a Christian attitude toward race and a scientific attitude toward radicalism. "The question arises: Has Christianity any contribution to make toward the solution of the race problem in America?" he asked. "I think so, but first we must set aside both the theorists of the swashbuckling racial realist and those of the racial sentimentalist who thinks he can solve the problem by calling everybody brother and squirting rose water. Two 'things are involved': Scientific facts and social procedure, that is, what to do with the facts when found. The facts must be found in the laboratory, for Christianity has no contribution. Christian faith does not have more answer to this first point in the New Testament than there is a plan there for disposing of sewage of the Oranges. When it comes to so-called procedures, Christianity recognizes the supremacy of moral valuas and emphasizes moral-considerations and allows a reverence for personality and the individual - human being."

We are begening to wonder what. re- ward, in-the form: of political recogmtion, will Governor ~Baker give the colored’ people of the state for their loyalty with their vote which was so liberally cast for him diting the past election.

PART TWO INDUSTRIAL C GETS REPO Inspector Of Schools Desc Handicaps That Confro That Section. Asks We The Conditions. Prof. N. C. Bruce, who has just returned from an extend a trip thru South East Missouri, has written to the secretary of the Nero. Industrial Commission giving a detailed account of conditions among the coloured people of that section of the state. His letter to Mr. Cobb is as follows: "Dear Sir: "With less preparation for schools for Negro children than the poorest schools in Mississippi to say the least, was and is a serious blinder; harm fut to all our, greater Missouri. Another reason given was that there was some fear of the voting strength of these southeast Negro immigrants, but it is now known by the wise, that colorful people are just waiting for a little evidence of wanted and by difference, recognized as human beings, as citizens by the other major party, even if this is just before the election, as they have been for fifty years by one major party. When this is seen, colored men and women of Missouri, along with the immigrants, will follow late President Harding's advice, and in this alter, they will do as Jews, Germans, Swedes, Irish and white Americans. They will look and weigh their best interests before blindly voting, else they will escheer politics as no good for them, and is best. Colored men think they are seen for a long time that their ancestors about the same by all parties after the election. They furnish one-third of the votes of the unpleasant party, put all the major offices, and even the ete, numbering thousands fall to reach them after elections, however well prepared of them or their youths may be. They must content themselves with no division of thspots, but with the same job they must have. They may age out and have held ever since. Only of into the permanent junior places and for them, and this is best. Cooled outside yard work, pick and shovel and scraper highway road work have failed them. All are being given others. Notwithstanding, all higher offices are for the special prizedhed. The few exceptions are negligible. And so southeast Missouri counties should be fear that certain colored Missourians will much longer be behind and unthinkable in their voting. Men and measures already is the watchword of many. For their best interest whoever is fairest and just, and will give the strongest deal. This is the thought of colored voters, in all free voting states, and also in Missouri. They are bound to be in the minority. They are white men in this voting business as they do in many other "The bad Charleston affair," not even the work of true white Missourians, upset many. This frightened and destroyed many hopes. Some said, Well, Lord, they do lyon some times in Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, South Carolina and Georgia, but we never have seen them dragged through the streets and among the thickest part of our homes and burn anybody to ashes. We saw this, hundreds of us, with our own eyes. And out of Mississippi county, for old Missouri state, where they say it can never be worse than what they recently witnessed in Missouri. Thus all Missouri falls down a peg by this sad air. But the Negro schools, in justice to all, are open and going on as well as the unsettled conditions justify with race exceptions. Most of these have been hastily put up during the last 18 months, are mere makeups, but localities are planning to build and make schools. At Charleston, New Madrid, Caruthers, Poplar, Bluff and a few other permanent colored people, Negro town in the best in any part of Missouri, in towns of the same size. Then too, the county and town superintendents seem fair and square and are earnest in trying to set adequate, if not an equal break, for Negro children both in teacher fitness and in buildings, equipment, play grounds and school environment. Cape Girardeau, Charleston, and Poplar Bluff deserve special attention, though these alone points, New Madrid, Carthusville, DeSoto, Festus, Nevillely and Crystal City are fetishing well. Yet all over the state, except the great and a few near great cities, buildings, equipments, playgrounds, libraries and teacher preparation and salaries for prepared teachers are at great disadvantage as compared with public schools for colored in the great cities and are not necessarily to be served by high and great grammar schools for white children. This cannot be hoped for under the dual system in Missouri, certainly not until all others are just perfectly provided for. "Visited some very needy schools. At one, only a tent and no benches furnished and a $40 a month Lincoln University teacher. The board furnished no store, fuel, crayon nor supplies. Teacher and pupils pick up chips and sticks during the day to keep from freezing. The poor parents managed to put in an afternoon walk. Way was an unfamiliar nile away. Others visited ware in almost as bad a condition. And yet the authorities are doing the best they can after providing poorly for their own white children. There is no remedy but from the outside somewhere. They, the "authrivites, have planned to give a little schoolhouse for next year, here and there" where there are enough Negro children left. "My advice to all is save yourselves, get land, own it, stay with the land, dig cultivate, produce, pit something worthwhile on the market. Economize, build up business, hold your families to work in your own cannery, broom shop, on the farm, or in something you can manage. Do not fly too high at the first hop off, live within one's 'metes and bounds.' Go after, no 'gold bricks,' soft soaps nor hanker too much after bigness or to be called big, before this American incubus of shame and infamy is worked off of. Negroes as well as Germans, Indians, by themselves saving to own, build, farm and employ for threeself. This is my message to all. Save yourselves or never saved."

What became of Cambyses' Execretion against Ethiopia? When Cambyses, king of Persia, conquered Egypt in 600 B.C. he proceeded to arrange for the reduction of Ethiopia, and sent spies with gifts to Nat Nastesian, king of Ethiopia. Upon their return the spies gave such a wonderful description of their encampment, and sent preferences, with graphic details of how prisoners were fettered in gold that Cambyses set out at once to make war in order to get gold. A Greek historian records that the Ethiopians met the Persian Army at the casels of Ammon in the Libyan desert, and literally obliterated them, loss to the Persian army of 50,000, killed, wounded, and killed in the battle, medically ending the Persian Empire. 100. What was the Purrish request? A peculiar bequest was that of John Parrish of Philadelphia in 1808. Under the provisions of his will there was established a fund, one third to be used for the education of the collians and one third for the collians and one third for the aid of Colored People. Those thirds were to be used in the State of Pennsylvania, the annual income, of each third usually amounts to $200.00.

Former State Senator — John P. Green of Cleveland, Ohio, now past 80, has a record of being on time to church every Sunday for the past 25 years. He recently received a letter from Bishop W. A. Leonard of the Episcopal diocese commending him. Mr. Green is a lawyer, was U. S. Stamp agent under McKinley and Rossevitt, is a scholar and a fine spirit to know. He has been a long time inspiration to Tower Man. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. has consented to contribute $100,000 to the new plant of the Phyllis Wheatley home of Cleveland. Mr. Green is to cost $10,000 for the plant raised. Mr. Rockefeller is a native of Cleveland. Miss Jane Hunter, the founder of the home, began the work a few years ago practically single-handed and under great handicaps. She has delivered and made even her bitterest opponents respect her.

His father was a native African, who at 22 years of age was a noted musician. His mother was a native of England. He started his musical career at 5 years of age, performing on a toy violin. He also possessed a beautiful voice, and as a had won many contests. In later years he taught music in Croydon theatre, and finally became conductor, and finally became conductor of the Handel Orchestra of England. In 1903 he visited the United States and conducted 3 music Festivals given in his honor. He was the first Negro to conduct the Great United States Marine Band, and was at that time one of the 3 greatest living conductors. He died in 1912, and is numbered among the greatest composers that ever lived. His most famous work was "Hiwatiana." Hosseb? SUBWAYS INJURE MORALS Associated Nerro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 4.—According to Major General John F. O'Ryan, the close human jams caused in subway cars are injurious to public morals. The statement was made as part of an address at Central Congregation church. We have all heard of a man without a country; but a man without a party is a new thing under the sun. I presume that I enjoy this singular distinction among the hundred million of my fellow citizens. I read in the press some days ago the startling announcement that "Kelly Miller Has Been Read Out of the Republican Party." I confess the appearance of this announcement find that it was the limcrow section of the state committee of the District of Columbia that performed the first act of expulsion of a private individual from a political party in the history of American politics. I had supposed from my study of democratic polity that the matter of granting or withholding support to or from any measure, person or party rested wholly with the judgment and conscience of the individual. I have questioned the questioned liberty of decision concerning the consistency of political adherence. That he might support different parties at different times or select persons on different tickets at the same election without discipline or censure. I have read somewhere in political history that Horace Greeley, Charles Summer and Chaucerney M. Depew led a revolt against the re-election of President Grant in 1872. I can recall the Mugwump defection against Blaine in 1884. True and tried Republicans, by the tens of thousands rallied to the standard of Grover Cleveland against the tattooed candidate. During the free silver campaign of 1896, the Gold Democrats who did not give out and out support to William McKinley, organized the Gold Democratic Party with Palmer and Buckner as standard bearers merely as disguised auxiliary of the Republican party. If I mistake not, it was Woodrow Wilson who afterwards became the monitor and master of the Democratic party who at this time, deferred that an. the president of his party would be knocked into a cocked hat. Suppose Woolrow Wilson had then read out of the party, there would have been a different political title to tell in 1912 the vast majority of the Republican party boiled the Republican ticket. There was left only a sufficient residue of the faithful to carry Uth and Vermont. Had the vindictive party then read out of its folds Roosevelt and his supporters they would not have had a quorum left. Ask Senator Cummins and Perry Howard where they PAGES 9 TO 1 would be today had such a mercredi fate: befallen them. In 1920, I supported Harding against my good per sonal-friend. Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore, who had not only bolt the party, but had become the nominee for Senator from Maryland with avowed purpose of defeating the die-nom candidate. But now behol Ashbie Harding down in the Kingdom with Perry Hewitt on James A. Cobb, I with Whitom fidelity, must be cast out. During the last campaign thousands of Democrats voted for Cookidge, thousands of Republicans, mainly colored, voted for Davis, which millions of Republicans, white and colored, voted for La Follette. The Republican members of the United States Senate have undertaken to exclude the recalcitrant Senators from participation in the party caucus and the spoils of office. This action we based not so much upon this revival during this campaign, as upon the stubborn refusal to support the party's legislative program in the Senate. Senator Butler, the chairman of the Republican National Committee made in Boston January 27, 1972, a party discipline, in the following declaration: "I have no thought of system of discipline which seeks an encourage on the rights of any man or woman to aspire or stand for price or to limit their rights to propose or advance legislative or party programs. But a man who is elected on a Republican platform must stand on that platform." Mr. Butler's policy is reasonable enough, so far as political ethics run. But the State Committee of the District of Columbia were too prepliant. They acted without consulting their master. If I were so minder to stir up mischief, I would call us on Mr. Butler to discipline the local committee for violating essential party procedure as laid down by him. I was not elected to any office on a Republican platform, and therefor am, entirely outside of the pale of party discipline according to the decrees of Mr. Butler, the law giver of the republican convention, between convictions. The Baltimore Afro-America states that there were half million colored citizens who left the folds of the party during the last campaign but I alone am selected for retailory wrath.

PRIMARY TOPIC—White Jesus Prayed JUNIOR TOPIC—What Jesus Prayed For. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-10 Christ's Prayer for His Disciples. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-10 Christ's Intercessory Prayer. 1. His Prayer for Himself (vv. 1-5). Fully conscious that the hour of His crucissure was at hand He prayed to the Father saying, "Glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Ther." His coming into the world had as its surprising mission the glorification of the Father. In order that the Father might be glorified it was necessary that the Son should be glorified. 1. To Him Had Been Given the Power to Give Eternal Life to Gods-Chosen Ones (vv. 2.31). Eternal life is knowledge of and a right relation to the true God and Jesus. Christ Thus we see that eternal life is a relationship and not an entity. 2. He Declared That He Had Finished the Work Committed Upon Him (v. 4). The definite work which He came to do was to give eternal life to the chosen of God. 11. His 'Prayer for His immediate Disciples' (vv. 6-19). 1. Their Preservation (vv. 9-16). He did not pray that they would be taken out of the world but that they might be kept from the Evil One. It is not the divine will that we go to heaven at once when we believe because: (1) Christ needs our military. Those who have been made partakers of the divine life are His representatives in the world. (2) We need His grace strengthened and developed in us. Heaven is a prepared place and only those who have been prepared for it can be admitted into it. (3) The world needs us. Christ declares that the disciples are the light of the world, the salt of the earth (Matt. 5-16). Only as the light of the Lord shines forth through the disciples can the people in the world find their way. 2. Their Sanctification (vv. 17-19). (1) Sanctify means: First, to set apart; that means then that the disciples were to be set apart to do the specific work of representing Christ; second, to cleanse; those who are set apart as His representatives need the special cleansing grace to make them vessels fit for the Master's use. (2) The instrument used (vv. 17). They were to be sanctified through God's truth. God's truth is His Word. (3) The purpose (vv. 18). They were sanctified in order that they might be qualified for His service in the world. III. His Prayer for His Future Disciples (vv. 20-26). 1. Their Unification (vv. 20-23). His great concern was that all believers should be united. (1) The grand pattern of this spiritual union is the union that exists between the Father and the Son (vv. 21). (2) The incentive making possible this union (vv. 22). The vision of the glory of God in Christ (II Cor. 3:18) is the grand incentive which unites the believers. (3) The purpose (vv. 23). The supreme objective in the unification of the believers is to convince the world that God sent Jesus Christ to save it. 2. Their Glorification (vv. 24-25). The discipline of Christ belongs fellowship with the Father and the Son and fellowship with his fellow believer, but he also looks forward to the time when he shall be glorified. (1) "I will that they be with Me where I am" (vv. 24). There is a present glory enjoyed by believers. (2) They are now children of God although it does not yet appear what they shall be. (3) They now possess eternal life and therefore shall never perish. While there is the present glory, Jesus wants his disciples to be with Him in Heaven. He said, "Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die it ablaze alone." We can reverently say that unless the believer is taken to Heaven Christ will be lonely. (4) "Behold my glory" (vv. 24). The believer shall share the ineffable glory of Christ (1 John 3:13). The Master-Word The master-word of Christianity is love.

Congregation, officers and visitors seemed to recognize Him in our very midst and Bickersteth's "Not worthy Lord, to gather up thy crumples," never seemed more appropriate. The four delegates to the older boys conference will report that they school Sunday. "There is a spirit among our land that is appalling." It is due to the abdication of the home as a center of religious teaching. A recent questionnaire covering the more famous Bible facts, answered by 1,490 high school students in the State of Missouri, revealed among other things the following: That 40 per cent did not know what Christ said about loving one's neighbor. Per cent did not know what to call the Sermon on the Mount. Sixty-five per cent knew neither the place of Christ's birth nor the name of His mother. Twelve per cent could not repeat the opening sentence of our Lord's prayer. Forty per cent thought- St. Paul was a book of the Bible. A third thought Gethsemane a city in Egypt. Twenty-one per cent defined immortality as "death" And Dr. Coveria, questionnaire covered "the merits of different automobiles, radios, airplanes, fashion movie stars and glides," the percentage would have been more commendable. It is all right to have these things, but it is not enough. Learning to survive its own perils of pride and selfishness and to give vitality, safety and service, must be permeated with the salt of Christianity. How can they know if they have not heard of this preservative? And here is our job. Jesus when he saw the sick, healed him; the lost He showed the way; the ignorant He taught. He has these dear young people and has left us to show them the way. "Men's club Thursday, 7 Mrs. Josephine, we hold herself to the sheen who faithfully keeps, it.

A MAN WITHOUT A PARTY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 on whom the tower of Siloam fell were not guilty beyond all the rest that dwelt in Jerusalem. Senator Wheeler of Montana ran on the ticket with La Follette without losing standing or regularity with the Democratic party. Wm. H. Lewis, a nationally known and nationally honored Negro Republican, named the Negro Democratic re-enforcement during the last campaign. A campaign which might have suggested a new rendering of an old song. See the mighty host advancing, Lewis leading on. wonder if Mr. Butler has instructed Consecrated Church of Massachusetts, his home state to excommunicate the Ex-Asst. Attorney General from the Republican party of the state and of the nation. Indeed, comparisons are oolious. If my sins were less, why should my punishment be so much more severe? But I have one great consolation in being cast outside of the fold of the local Republican party as constituted by the state committee of the District of Columbia. This action places me in company: with ninety nine and six tenths per cent of the citizens, even those of Republican persuasion, in this jurisdiction. I can take one month's salary of a country school teacher and give every citizen of Washington one dollar who will swear that he voted for the State Committee or for state who has ever inflicted to the cause of people. This organization came into power by raping the rights of the people, such as they were, and by skillful manipulation and maneuvering so as to secure recognition from the National Republican Committee. Every honest man in and out of the organization knows this to be the fact, and will acknowledge it. If forced to a frank expression. A hand full of highly respectable citizens of Washington, white and colored; in order to put an end to the unseemly quadrennial squabble usurped the rights of the people, after the manner of the Southern political profiteers. I acknowledge my share of the guilt. I was a game of unjustifiable malice. It was a moral injustice of justice. Like the mostible Paul, I stood by watching the garments while the others stoned Stephen. And now, I must take my medicine like a man. My punishment is deserved. The penalty is light in comparison with the sin. Let for a moment consider the competence of my excommunicator as well as the illegality of the act. Behold, a political party with out a vote; and a state committee without a state. The Republican party in the District of Columbia is like a river without water. It did not cast, in the last election, its last election. It did not elect a solitary official by whom the community is governed. It has so far proved to be wholly effectless in advising or persuading the President to allow them to allot local patronage. Its only notable achievement during the four years of its history has been the selection of delegates to the National Republican Convention, and the expulsion of one of the opposing political independents. Now we will consider the head and front of my offense. I was elected, selected, designated or appointed by the State Committee last spring a delegate to the nominating convention. I accepted the assignment, and put in nomination my friend, Mr James A. Cobb, for delegate to the Cleveland convention. Hon. Emmett Scott seconded the nomination, Mr. Scott third, and Jones the slated candidate of the machine got the rest. Now, Tom Jones is a lolly good fellow whom a member of the local campaign committee. I gave him my tentative acceptance, contingent upon Mr. Coolidge's declared attitude on the Ku Klux Klan in his forthcoming letter of acceptance. The message came but no word of condemnation of the hooded menace. I waited for a later campaign utterance but there came forth only alliance and still more silence. In the meantime Mr. Murray requested me requesting membership on the Committee. I gave a negative answer on the ground that I did not deem it advisable to assume organic connection with the political campaign. In my writings I have always discussed public questions analytically. I try to deal with pending measures with impartiality and to measure candidates by their merit, and not by partisan narrowness. To me there was one supreme issue in the campaign, and that was the Ku Klux Klan. All other questions seemed to me to be secondary. According to this test, Davis ranked first, LaToulette second and Coolidge third. I so believed and so stated. I may have been mistaken, but I followed the light of my own intelligence and conscience as that was all I had. The vast majority of my fellow zens did not agree with him. But seven million majority cannot alter a fundamental conviction. Mr. Coolidge with the quintessence of New England will appreciate this, the State Committee of the District of Columbia cannot. I did not vote against Mr. Coolidge for the same reason that the State Committee did not vote for him—simply because I had no vote to cast. I exercised the right of conscience and of free speech under guarantee of the Constitution. For this I am expelled from the Republican party by a precarious and-impotent organization calling itself the State Committee of the D. C. If I took the matter seriously, I would appeal the action to Mr. Butler and to President Coolidge him. self. I shall in the future, as in the past continue to discuss public measures and shall approve or disapprove Republican or Democratic policies and candidates according to the dictates of my best conscience and judgment. I feel under moral obligation to those who do me the courtesy to accuse me of misconduct to be mislead to my own convictions or to mislead them by the expiciencies of political gyrations. All of which I shall do without let or hindrance of the State Republican Committee of the District of Columbia. In this connection the propriety of school men taking part in political activity has been whispered. This shows a narrow minded attitude concerning the function of the educator. It is the privilege and duty of any American citizen who feels that he has any worth while ideas on public questions to release them for the good of the people. President Elliott of Harvard was proffered the ambassadorship to Great Britain President Nicholas Hunley Butler president of the Republican ticket in 1912. Attorney General Stone was called to the Cabinet from the deanship of Columbia Law School. President Angel of Michigan University was made ambassador to Turkey. Senator Bingham of Connecticut, was elected from the Yale faculty. The president of a southern college was seriously proposed as the Democratic nominee for the last election. Indeed, the highest function of the educated man is to help direct public thought and action in the way it should go. Preston News Service. WASHINGTON, D.
