NEWSPAPER MEN CLOSE A SUCCESSFUL SESSION An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XIII NO. 44 The Three Days Of Strenuous Business Dispersed With Pleasure. Adopt Resolutions. Next Ann'l. Session At Philadelphia. The twenty-sixth annual session of the National Negro Press Association, which has just closed a three days session here, was reported by the officers as being the most successful, from the point of attendance and entertainment. There were thirty-five registered representatives present, aside from the large number of proxies. One hundred and twenty-five publications were financial. The sessions were marked by a large volume of business. Subjects affecting the craft were discussed. A rare treat was enjoyed by the members of the press when they listened to a paper by C. A. Franklin, editor of the Kansas City City, Call, upon the subject, "Advertisers and Space Buyers," Mr. Franklin scored the "sponsors" who life what they are pleased to call "press agents" to send out each week their real advertisements under the cloak of "news." "These press agents," said Franklin, "think they are putting something over on us fellows. They play us for suckers, but their stuff usually finds its way to the waste basket when it is sent to me. This class is usually the non-advertisers, except what they get free, yet some of them have found good markets for their goods thru the free route." He stated that he had more respect for, and would have more respect for, the advertisers who bought and paid for only one fourteen line inch than he had for all the spongers. "At whatever cost, the Negro must gain respect for his buying power," said the spongers. "It is very serious matter for the advertisers who supply the Negro with the bulk of his needs, limit their advertisements almost exclusively to the white press. The Negro press, strengthened by the circulation built upon news, armed with fair rates and good service, can take its share of advertising, and along with the millions of dollars it receives for local and national advertising, it can win respect for the race in this practical age." All of the regular sessions were held at the Argus Hall. One session was held in the press room at Pore College, while the public meeting, Thursday night, was held at Pore auditorium. In his welcome address, on this occasion, Mr. A E. Malone made a most favorable impression upon the visitors, judging from the comments. Our Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A, an elaborate banquet was given in honor of the visitors by the local Negro-Business League. The twenty-seventh annual session will be held at Philadelphia, in 1926. Officers elected were: B. J. Davis, Atlanta, President; Jas. H. Bass, Los Angeles, Vice President; I. Willis Cole, Louisville; Recordling Secretary; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville; Corresponding Secretary; E. Washington Rhodes, Philadelphia, Treasurer, and J. E. Mitchell St. Louis, Chairman of Executive Committee. Report of Committee on Resolutions We believe that in the interest of world peace and humanity, the share of the people in the United States should not or participate in the world court along the lines laid down by ex-President Harding, and we urge that our senators take prompt and decisive action in this matter. While we rejoice in the decrease of lynching during the 1924, and commend all agencies and influences that are contributing to the reduction of this crime, on the other hand the National Press Association goes on record as opposed to Jim Crowism in all its forms and manifestations; the filthy and congested cars and the correspondence insolence and contempt of many railroad traimmers. We further believe that a decent American citizen has a right to live where he is able to buy and where he wishes to. We dispute the right of any class of citizens to determine where another class shall live. We denounce segregation and its implications of inferiority and pledge our selves to help correct it everywhere and call upon our ministers and professional men to do the same. We denounce segregation in the Departments at Washington and the presentation of photographs of applicants for positions as another form of segregation, and call upon the President to use the influence of his great office to break up this American and democratic society. We believe that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is the best submitted to Congress for the suppression of Lynching, and urge that the Republican Party, which has a majority in both branches of Congress, redeem its pledges to the people and pass the Bill. We keenly realize that the Constitution of the United States is a safeguard for our Liberty, and which is our purpose in our history detail, we especially agree that the 14th and 15th amendments be rigidly enforced in common with all other amendments.

He depicted beautifully the faithfulness of the Negro to this great American commonwealth and prayed that the life of the Christ will find lodgment in the heart of every man and wo man in the world done race hatred will abolished race hatred of the world and man will be brothers in every sense of the word.

"DO RIGHT, NOT POPULAR THING" SAYS SENATOR Hon. A. H. Roberts Of Illinois, Delivers Rousing Message At Pine Street 'Y.' "Must Work Out Own Salvation" He Declares. State Senator A H. Roberts of Illinois, former layman, delivered a rousing message on "Political and Moral Courage," at the Pine Street "Y" Sunday afternoon. With forceful eloquence and fervent enthusiasm he pleaded for liberation and sound judgment on the part of the Negro in facing all issues. Supports 15th Amendment Senator Roberts praised the 18th amendment as one of the most beneficial causes of the national Constitution, the Negro. He spoke of his aid in passing the measure and declared he regarded it as a sacred duty, for which performance he had no apologies to offer. The Negro, above all other races, should seek to do the right thing, rather than the popular thing," he declared. "Prejudice can be greatly lessened by right conduct. Go along the lines of meritorious conduct and liberty and equality will follow." Downs Klan The Senator told of how he had introduced a bill to bore on the imprisonment of Ku Klux Klaners, which was passed, and how his life had been threatened. "What care I about death?" he declared. "I would rather die fighting on a senate floor than on a foreign battlefield." In referring to the ministry, Senator Roberts declared, "The times call for a true Christian ministry, not only to save souls, but to protect the lives and rights of the people as well." "Gad gives us the right kind of leadership, gives us statesmanship that will put us high an estimate on the lives of men as on the rights of property." Senator Roberts declared in concluding, "gives us political and moral courage." DR. GEO. W. TUCKER DIES Dr. Geo, W. Tucker, of the Tucker Business College, 4900 Cook avenue, and well known as a pharmacist, died at his home Thursday at 9:45 p.m. Dr. Tucker had been confined for about two weeks.

STEEL CITY'S MAYOR ASKS OFFICIAL TO RESIGN PITTSBURGH, Pa., Feb. 25—Mrs. Margaret S. Gray, white superintendent of the Bureau of Recreation in this city, whose administration has been especially conspicuous for its Jim Crowism, has been asked to resign. Mayor Magus. It could not be ascertained whether the city administrator's actions were prompted by the recent protest of colored citizens against Mrs. Gray's prejudiced practices or not. VICTOR MILLER AND THE POLICE There has been much said about Victor Miller and his part, as president of the Police Board in uniforming the Negro police. As one who was interested in the matter from the beginning, I will say, first of all, that it was the Negroes, themselves, who got the promise from Governor Arthur M. Hyde, when a few of us had a conference with him at Pythian Hall at the time he came to St. Louis, seeking support of his candidacy in the primary election against E. E. E. McJimsey of Springfield, his opponent. In the course of political events, Mr. Hyde was nominated and subsequently elected governor of the State. It was he who appointed Mr. Miller president of the Police Board, and naturally the colored people of the city expected Mr. Miller to carry out the promise the governor had made. Shortly after he was made president of the Police Board, the writer called on Mr. Miller at his office in the Boatmen's Bank Building, and asked him about putting on more Negro police and uniforming them. Mr. Miller made this statement at the time the request was made, "It is my intention to put on some more Negro police officers, but I do not intend to put them in uniform, as I believe a policeman can catch a criminal better without uniform." The crook can see the uniformed men a block away." To this statement Mr. Miller was reminded that a very large majority of the then present police force were in uniforms, whereupon, he answered, "Yes, that's true, but the city is badly infested with crooks too." A committee from the Missouri Negro Republican Club also called upon Mr. Miller about the same matter and they reported that they had been told practically the same thing. When reminded by the committee that the Negro vote had been a factor in electing the governor who appointed him, Mr. Miller said he cared nothing for their political influence, and shortened the interview by saying they might call another day, but warned them not to mention political influence. On this committee were E. T. Summytt, Irvin White and Chas. Baker. The writer then made a trip to Jefferson City and took the matter up with Governor Hyde, reminding him of his promise, telling him what Miller had said, and the Governor answered, "I have suggested this matter to the St. Louis Police Board, and [I will take it up with the board again shortly—Have a little patience." In about ten days, Mr. Miller telephoned me to come to his office. The first thing he said upon my arrival was, "Well (smiling broadly) I have decided to put 10 or 12 colored men on the police force, and I have decided to put them in uniform—how do you like that?" He was told that that was satisfactory. I make this statement at this time to show the attitude that the former Police Commissioner took with regard to Negro police when first approached on the subject. We do not say that it was only after he had been told Positively what to do by the Governor that Mr. Miller changed his mind about the matter on uniforming the colored police, but we can positively state that it was only after he had refused, making inconsistent excuses, and after an appeal to the Governor had been made, that he consented, or decided to uniform the Negro police. I am making this statement in the interest of truth and justice, that the public may have the facts in the case at this time when many wild and false rumors are being circulated. Catholics, Jews, Negroes And Greeks Assailed By The Klan A Former Policeman, Now Organizer For The Ku Klux Klan, Gives Some Inside Information On Klanology. Read And Think. The public will get a better idea of the workings of the Ku Klux Klan by reading the following story recently published in the St. Louis Star. We reproduce it at this time that the public may read and think. Star story, Feb. 5: The Rev. James Dunleavy, Ku Klux Klan organizer and former policeman, in addressing a meeting of approximately seventy-five klansmen last night at Schwartzman's Hall, Elm and Sutton avenues, Maplewood, beware was an some intelligent and could, so why some people did not belong to the klan. But Dunleavy believes that some day the nation will see the good of the klan and welcome it with open arms. In a mild voice, raised now and then to a lusty crescendo, he progressed, farther into his theme, telling how the Poe planned to control the next presidential election; how the Jews controlled the newspapers; how white women were not elected to be the central kitchen and how a Negro school board of St. Louis County hired white school teachers to instruct Negro children. they collect the money and the other four priests for the dead and hunt for men to join the church. They even control our post office. I waited twenty-six letters today and was afraid at the time to post them all at the place. That is one of the many things we must take care of. "Another serious problem confronting us, are the Jews. They control the financial world of this country. The bread trust is in their hands and elm leaf we purchase they sell on. Take it their very suit on our backs, the Jews tell us what we must pay for it. Look at the movies, Jew controlled. I went into a theater in New York recently, men, and saw girls parading before a crowd of Jews with not enough clothes on to fill a thimble. That is what the Jews are doing for us, men. "The Greeks are the cause of another serious situation. Our women, forced to work in their candy kitchens, are a threat to their Kansas City and I know what I am talking about." Negro Problem Discussed Changing his voice, which had risen He swayed his small audience by his obequence. Dressed in a somber clerical black, with his white collared collar standing out in bold relief. Dunkle nervously paced the floor and for two hours promped the doctrine of the klan, now and then interrupted by cries of approval from his audience. "Men," he began, "first of all I want to know that I am among friends tonight, so I will ask you three questions. Are you all Protestors? Are all of you native born? Are there any Jews in this gathering? I need not ask, just question men. I can see that there are not. Now men, I want to tell you some facts. Tells of Al Smith "Do you know that the Pope at Rome is planning to make a Catholic the next president, so he can journey to Rome and bow down before him? So he can lay American gold, our gold at his feet. It's a fact. I tell you there are others in the army to parry Sinai Castle in the at the presidential election, and they would have done so if it had not been for the good klaamen present at the convention in New York. The army and navy are composed of seventy-five per cent Catholics and right tonight they have us at their mercy. Take St. Louis, brothers. There are five priests at every church One of them collects the money and the other four pray for the dead and hunt for men to join the church. They even control our post office. I mailed twenty-six letters today and was afraid at the time to post them all at the place. That is one of the many things we must take care of. "Another serious problem confronting us, are the Jews. They control the financial world of this country. The bread trust is in their hands and the money is in their hands and the price is on. Take the very suit on our backs, the Jews tell us what we must pay for it. Look at the movies, Jew controlled. I went into a theater in New York recently, men, and saw girls parading before a crowd of Jews with not enough clothes on to fill a thimble. That is what the Jews are doing for us, men. The Greeks are the cause of another serious situation. Our women, forced to work in their candy kitchens, are unsafe if they remain there three weeks. I fought them in Kansas City and I know what I am talking about." Negro Problem Discussed Changing his voice, which had risen to a lusty crescendo, Dunkle discussed the Negro situation as it affected St. Louis county. "The Negro question must be discussed softly, brothers. They greatly outnumber us and we must handle this diplomatically. Right here in this county a Negro school board is in charge of hiring and firing white school teachers. They dictate to them. I asked a member of the community about it and do you know what he told me? He said it was best to leave them have their way, because they were in the majority. Are we going to stand for this? Do you remember what occurred after the Civil War? Those days will come again and we will be prepared, brothers. I only wish I could go on, brothers, but my voice is falling my, I am forced to close. I want to ask what brought, not to forget our next secret meeting, when he held at Webster Groves next Wednesday night. The seventy-five members slimly filed out of the ball into the night and vanished in the darkness to discuss again at their next secret meeting ways and means of saving America. Some folks figrubs dey's hurtin' de church wen dey get mad and quills but dey's all wrong 'bout dat. Hit don' neva 'hit de tree when de rotec apples fall off.

Have Recently Failed Because Of Lack Of Coherence. Prostown News Service. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 25.—Designed ultimately to embrace in its membership white Republicans in 17 Southern States, extending from the Carolinas to Missouri and south thru Texas and Arizona, the Southern States Republican League was formally started on its way last Thursday with the election of Charles U. Gordon, Vicksburg, Miss, as its first president. John Q. Eaton, Memphis was elected secretary. Of the 17 representatives were represented at the convention. Walter S. Scott, Birmingham, who was elected as vice president for Alabama, acted as chairman of the meeting. George D. Sheldon for Mississippi, and H. B. Lindsay of Knoxville, governor of the league for Tennessee. It is expected to create a more formidable phalanx in the Southern G. O. P. ranks to more effectually allay any aggressive movement on the part of Negro Republicans in Southern delegations. The organization plans to overcome this. SLIM HOPES FOR COLORED IN INAUGURATION PARADE WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25. The inauguration promises to be a quiet affair this year. The president does not care for any extra pomp or show to accompany his taking of oath and inauguration address next Thursday. There will be a parade, but it will lack the grandeur and pageantry of those of former days. There is no certainty of any colored regiments being on parade. It is said that the twenty-fourth Infantry will be brought here if the War Department defrays the expenses. On March 3 and 5, there will be cancuses and conferences of colored Republicans, who attend the inauguration. H. PERRY RESIGNS. WILL REBUILD·SUB-CONCERN ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 25—Henan E.

League Of Women Voters Sunday afternoon, Feb. 22, at the Toro, citizens of St. Louis were afforded an unusually rare treat in the lecture delivered by Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale. This was Mrs. Hale's second visit to St. Louis, coming, as she did previously, under the auspices of the League of Women Voters, and sent to our group for this occasion through the generosity of the League. Mrs. Hale is the sister of Sir Forbes Robertson, the English actor, and herself an actress of no little ability. Emilyently fitted for her vocation by birth, training and marriage, she captivated her audience from the beginning to the end of her lecture. Speaking upon "Woman and Internationalism" Mrs. Hale laid great stress upon the sisterhood of woman and its power for good in bringing about world peace and that spirit of Christ which teaches that all men are brethren and servants of all Women, because of the great bond of motherhood, have more in common than men. Being through God the producer of life, woman can better appreciate it and hate that which destroys life. It is to woman the world must eventually look to eliminate war and bring about universal peace. Through the early teachings of children can the spirit of Grace and respect for peoples of all nationalities be engendered" says Mrs. Hale. Either in the home, church or school does woman have charge of the child, and here she may teach him to love not only his own race but all races, for there are noble characters and qualities among all peoples. Most of man's prejudices are due to ignorance and a wrong conception of nations other than his own, gained through histories and literature. Mrs. W. P. Curtis presided over the meeting with case and dignity. In her fervent prayer Mrs. Cannon sounded the note of woman as a potent factor inighting the world's wrongs. Mrs. C. H. Evans, accompanied by Miss Josephine Harris at the photo and Miss Huffman on the xylin, probably never sang so sweetly and effectively. All the music elicited striking compliments from Mrs. Hale and other visitors. The League of Women Voters, undoubtedly scored a splendid success for itself and the cause it has so vigorously espoused. From all sides both by men and women, unstinted praise was given that organization which could count in its ranks one so broad, so generous, and liberal in her views as Mrs. Hale.

The oftener they come, the better they are, seems to be the rule with Sandy Burns and Company, playing a return engagement at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The comedy has to do with the wedding of Liza Millson, played by Mary Davis and the rivalry between "Ashes," Sandy Burns, and the intended groom, Fred Hart. Sam Russell is comical as the "parson," and Bonnie Belle Drew, as the old fashioned mother, is a typical fidgety characterization. The entire company takes part in the ceremony, which "Ashes" finally breaks up. There are several specially numbered and the show is full of entertaining puppetry throughout the opening is a novel kiddie dance by the girls, "Ashes" and "Byto" Robinson then engage in a "home brew" row, "Queen of Egypt" is a lively dance by four girls: Mary Devis, Lillianian Carrol, Helen Penn and Marguerite Bolden, Jackson and Craig, with Misses Davis and Penn, also have an excellent number in "Too Tired." The "Mill" and its three bells is a humorous sketch. Miss Drew, assisted by Hart and the girls, spore a big hit with "Don't Stop Loving Me Now." After the Wedding, this real good show is brought to a close with a song and dance ensemble.

The saddest are these: "I've a cold again." An ounce of fresh air is worth a pound of cough syrup. One uncovered sneeze can spread disease germs for a radius of nine feet. Winter Colds Etiquette Sneezing over one's desk is not a virtue but a plain crime against the community. It is no longer noble to be "just crawling about." In fact, modernly speaking, it is much easier to go to bed until one is again fit to become a member of society. The person who doggedly sticks to his job under the handicap of a cold or other physical illment is not only working an injustice on himself, but on the countess other individuals with whom he comes in contact. A cold must not be neglected, for it is not a simple trifling annoyance, but a real disease - coryza. A cold may result in chronic cough, and it can also prepare the way for a serious heart trouble. The first symptom of diphtheria. typhoid, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and smallpox may appear as a cold. Avoid sudden changes in temperature, overheating, drafts and wet feet. Eat more roughage, fruits and fresh vegetables. Above all, see to it that fresh air is always indoors. Too much warmth in a room is responsible to a greater degree for the present season's wave of coughs and colds than any other possible cause, not even excepting 60 much cold. The temperature is generally of from 5 to 7 degrees lower than is generally found in the home or office. the average person would enjoy better health. Life Line Shortens As Belt Line Extends A man's best line may be called his life line. Draw in the life line. Excessive fat wipes the health and strength of its victims and predisposes them to disease and premature old age. Fat is not an asset but a liability. The leem, long wristed individual, who spends his life trying first one method and, then another in a vain effort to get fat should be thankful to remain thin. It tuberculosis does not get him before he is thirty, he may be reasonably sure to live to a ripe old age. To seek good by doing evil is surely no safe plan. How can the infliction of misery on others be called a religious system. JEST-A-MERE ROOSEVELT THEATRE 810 N.

THEODOSIA HALL AND HER ORCHESTRA ROOSEVI THEATRE 810 N. LEF ANOTHER COLORED UNIT IN BURLESQUE By J. A. (Billboard) Jackson Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 25—Hurtig and Sean encourage by the success of the "Seven-Eleven" added a colored section to the "Fast Steppers" for the engagement at the 125th street theater. This section of the performance was provided by George Immerman's "Connie's Inn" floor show and the Leroy Smith band of that club with which the public has become well acquainted through the medium of its weekly radio program. The show worked on a full stage with the orchestra seated upstage in a funny interior. House patrons have become a bit accustomed to the peep and speed that characterize Negro choruses, and know what to expect in this direction, so there are many impromptu elements in connection. A half of this group was the total features of the hour and a half of this group was the fifty words of introduction by Leonard Harper, the producer and principal. Even this proved to be the gentle lead up to a number of songs. The next particularly noticeable feature was the dalyty and uniform beauty of the ten choristers. It was as nice a collection of octopon pulchrature as has been presented anywhere else; choreographers chose tastie and used a tidy sum in costuming them as befits the beauty they possessed. The act opened with the band under Leroy's personal direction doing two jazz numbers after the conductor had acknowledged a reception hand. Harpers speech ending with a song "Nothing New Under the Sun" Julia Moody followed in with Maimon's performance. There's Only One Mammy supported by four boys who later danced to the refrain. The choristers, followed in an old fashioned minuset costumed as was Miss Moody minita the make-up indicating old age. Wheaton and Bradley, a dancing team, then hit up some steps that went over well, the smaller of the two being especially favored with instrument. An orchestra number was put in at this jigure, one that permitted the several musicians to demonstrate their individual abilities. "Fats" Waller, a rotund gown looking plan- ST.

"Mexico," a costumed number with Leonard Harper doing a dance number was next and the colorful bit served to establish Bessie Allison as a Rite dancing mistress of a unique type, for whom there is every reason to expect a great future. She has great piquancy and a nice mastery of her stones. Billy Mitchell "the boy with the insane feet" whom the audience thought must be otherwise insane as well, simply ripped them with his nonsensical delivery of Sweet Iodine and My Little Dog and his peculiar dances made possible by his double bass playing. His discursive and a chorus number featuring the Charleston followed him after he had declined encorces. Then came the Three Eddies and those bespectacled black faced boys walked away with their auditors for they sang and danced substituting grotesque mimicry for talk which was equivalent to a big drink minute the froth. Then the girls again, this time, in the familiar Hawaiian number made famous by the Florence Mitsch company leading to a finale that sent the folks away pleased, a fact that was indicated by comments freely passed between departing patrons. It was just a period of singing and dancing, the orchestra working continuously from beginning to end. FOR RENT—Furnished-room for couple in private family. 4104 Finney.

American Legion Notes By EMMETT BROWN INFORMATION WANTED A worthy dependent of Pvt. Aderson Holmes, Co. C. 308 Labor Battalion, now deceased, is experiencing quite a deal of trouble in trying to establish her claim for compensation. The point necessary to be cleared up, is the true relationship that has exerted upon child, Kahn Holmes and her mother, Lafia Moore of Hefena, Ark. to the deceased soldier—Anderson Holmes, who died December 31, 1922 in St. Louis. Any one knowing the true status of relationship of the above named parties will confer a great favor and service by sending information to Mrs. Roxie Holmes, Margaret Holmes, whose circumstances are such that warranty any assistance that can be given, especially so in establishing her claim for compensation. Organizations Being Investigated An investigation is now under way by authorities in Washington of some 13 different organizations whose activities and dealings with disabled World War veterans and their dependents are said to be questionable. The investigation will serve a great cause, and it is the hope of the American Legion, that should there be found cases where organizations or individuals who use the unfortunate conditions that exist among our disabled Buddies and their dependents for private gain, that the proper penalties be given to one and all.

GOLD - Gold, gold, gold, like glittering sands, - Princes and monarchs how to gold, - Princes and monarchs how to gold, For its possession men have lied. Men have fallen, and men have died Glittering gold in the sunlight. Forever ruling right with might; Favors and positions are bought. And evil deeds by it are wrought. Friendship is severed, is sold. Just for the hustful price of gold. For the prestige its glint may bring. And the praises that friends may sing. Virtue is auctioned, is sold. Just for the gleam and glint of gold. Womanhood is desecrated. As God never anticipated: Sacredness, modesty of old. Gone, given in exchange for gold. Still, some laugh with glee, still some sing. Hue that heart, that soul, that boy, bring. Gold has overpointed the nation's youth. Has made them lose, unclean, uncoath: Fearless, bold and without restraint. They scout at Christ and mock the saint: To rob and kill is their code. As they travel the downward road: Heedless, stubborn, a going on their way. Not thinking of the price to pay. How I pity these youthful boys. Once so content with dogs and toys, Bowing each night at mother's knee, Sent to God a prayer, his plea. Where is he, who once was good. So pure and so sweet, if bad blood: Has he forgot, and given his soul. For wine of mirth and greed of of gold? Lives are wasting behind prison walls Lives of those who answered the call. Answered the call, the call of gold, And like manaels, sold their souls. Now od, with naught left of their gains. Save a name, blotched and stained, Save a form that is bent and frail, And visions of a golden trail.

Two colored surgeons of Harlem performed an operation on a young high school student, Lois Wilson, colored, that is said to have no parallel in the annals of New York Negro medical history. The girl was troubled with an extremely dangerous infection in her ear which required a very delicate and careful operation. Drs. Pete Murray and Paul Collins, attendants of the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium, were called in in the crisis. The men executed an operation that would have destroyed the thyroid spark of life with the slightest blunder. Sixty minutes after the crucial operation the patient was pronounced safe. The operation was助 by all of the medical profession in Gulpham. GOVERNOR PRAISES WORK OF TENN. NORMAL SCHOOL NASHVILLE, Teen.

FRANK MANN Professional Bondsman Qualified To $15,000.00 ALL KINDS OF BONDS 4066 Finney Ave. Lindell 4228 Lindell 5197-W BANDER SHOP RESIDENCE Services At Any Hour EDITOR'S NOTES Richard Volstead lived in the heart of Festus, Mo. in a comfortable estate with his mother. His only friend was a young girl, Sophia Johnson, who was about three years younger than he. She made her home with her step-father, Yandell Roosthall, who was so cruel that even the dogs in the road feared him. "The sun's mirrors brightened off the curved barn which Sophia was importing." "Rile" appeared at the luck fence, with a look of anger on his face. "For shame that you should slave like that," he said with a frown. "Come, you shall live with us out of this house of bondage, slavery was abandoned years past, so why should you work from sunrise to sunset as you do? Come—" Venturing to ride, she falkered as Vandell heat her brutally with a whip. "Stay, you dog, stay," he stormed. "You deserve nought but to perpetually be my slave, which you should self-luxury and go to church on Sundays." Your mother was a Christian and died my slave, and you shall die my slave. These words Rich could hear no longer, and with a leap over the fence he rushed to his "Devil" (as he called Van) and throwing him to the ground, removed his shirt and beat him until the blood ran. Coming from under the bloody hush and sore, he murgured, "You merciless cow, you you dog." "Titter you another word and your hair shall stand on ends more so than they are at present," stammered Rich. His heart beat heavily within his breast, and his tongue seemed not the instrument to utter the words that crowded his brain. Sophia, terror struck, had gone into her little room and trying a small bottle for the place Van wombs in. Half of her Van wombs were dressed and he was ready to get his revenge on the innocent angel, Sophia. Upon entering her attic room, "he found it bare and Sophia nowhere to be seen," "Sophia, Sophia," he yelled, but all in vain. (Read chapter 2 next week) —SISTER SUSAN. NEW MEMBERS Arlene Coler, P. O.

Findings Committee of Church School Superintendent reports that out of a Negro school population of 14,400 registered in our public schools of the city, only approximately 9000 are enrolled in our church schools, with an average attendance of 46,000. Sensing the gravity of this situation, all of the Sunday schools of the city are urged to unite in a city-wide canvass of every Negro home in St. Louis, in order to enroll every child in the Sunday school choices. A suitable questionnaire has been prepared for this purpose, and the workers from the various Sunday schools are being assigned to work the wards by precincts, which include our densest Negro population. The work will begin Sunday, March 1, and continue through the 15th. The Sunday school superintendents are planning a definite follow-up at the close of the canvass. A circular letter has been sent to all of the teachers of the school, soliciting co-operation, in order to secure the unit of efficiency in this worthwhile undertaking. A full meeting of the superintendents and their workers will be held at Wheatley Branch W. W. C. A. Saturday, Feb. 25, at 5 p.m., when final instructions will be given. Publicity Committee. Dr. J. M. Bracy, Mr. J. L. Wingate. Current Events Hello, Mabel. Good morning, Auntie. What is worrying you so early? Well, go to bed, you recall my conversation with you a few weeks ago, regarding the large number of pupils who graduated from our schools in the city? Yes, Auntie. I remember quite well your anxiety for the future welfare of those children. them in school and they do not remain to the end. In that case, Mabel, it is the fault of the parents if they do not see to it that the boy remains. It is necessary that the boy and girl receive an education, but if puzzles, me to understand how parents can figure that the boy can get along better in the world without education than the girl. It is a gross mistake and no Well, Mabel, there was one feature I did not mention, because I did not care to take up so much of your time as such an early hour. I have thought of it so often since, that I am obliged to speak of it now. What is it, Auntie? Well, I can't understand why the teachers so many girls to graduate and then no doubt Auntie, it is for the reason that the boys do not value education as much as the girls. Possibly it is and possibly it is not, Mabel. Well, if you do not accept that as a reason, what do you think is the reason? I don't know that. I can say, I have thought of it often, and have wondered, if it is not true, that the parents of these boys value a few dollars more than the education of the boy. Of times, parents feel that they absolutely necessary to take their boys out of school, at an early age, to help make ends meet. Very often you see parents taking the boys out of school and continuing the education of the girl. That is true. Amelie, but it is also true that they are boys whose parents are financially able to keep Mrs. Frank Vashon, Mrs. Leona Caston, Mr. C. A. Moore, Mr. L. Wright, Miss Aarsinia M. Williams. HOLSEY SPEAKS BEFORE LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE HOLSEY SPEAKS BEFORE LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, and secretary to Dr. R. B.

The local league is the first in the country to employ a full time business agent to work in the interest of its members. W. COHEN GAVE $1000 TO REPUBLICAN PARTY W.

Feb. 25 — A white policeman, Kilpatrick, who was suspended and held to answer a charge of assault here, two weeks ago, for brutally maltreated a colored man, Tom Moss, when he arrested him without any real cause, was fined $50 and cost by Justice Spindle. $442 FOUND SEWED IN GARMENT OF DEAD WOMAN GOLDSBORO, N. C. Feb. 25.—One hundred and ninety-nine pieces of money in denominations from one to twenty dollars, were found sewed securely in eighteen different places in a garment of Miss Martha Creech, a 72 year-old colored woman who died here recently.

Feb. 25—Next Thursday, March 5, has been set as a day for special patriotic observances, among the colored citizens of America by the National Equal Rights League. It will be known as the Race's Citizenship Foundation Day. Crispus Attucks, the Negro who was the first person to give his life for the cause of America's liberty, will symbolize the martyrs whose souls it governs the occasion. All colleged organizations throughout the country being given in send to Wm W. Trotter, 103 Court St. Boston, Mass. them in school and they do not remain to the end. In that case, Mabel, it is the fault of the parents if they do not see to it that the boy remains. It is necessary that the boy and girl receives an education, but it puzzles me to understand how parents can figure that the boy can get along better in the world without education than in the world with great mistakes, and no wise thinking parent cdn ever reach such a conclusion. Well, Auntie, I guess they figure it is easier for a boy to make a living without education than it is, for a girl. An education, Mabel, is good, for the boy, whether he is to be a bootblack or a Prince, and should not be neglected. These girls are to marry some day, and if they can not find suitable companions among these boys, where are they to find them? Women have the franchise and are clamoring to be the equal of man in other ways, but the one who is called, All Wise, intended that woman should be the "Home-Maker." I don't mean that she shall merely be the housekeeper, but she shall make that house a home. Parents should realize that regardless of the number of mountain peaks in civic or national life that a woman may reach, we will always look to the men for our leaders. We can not use them, if they are not prepared and they are not prepared if they are not educated. I must stop, Mabel, for I fear I have taken too much of your time. Good bye. Mabel. Good bye. Auntie. for a pamphlet for the occasion, which contains the history of this little known hero. Monthly Meeting Of The St. Louis Undertakers' Ass'n. Monthly Meeting Of The St. Louis Undertakers' Ass'n. The St. Louis Undertakers Association held its February meeting at the partners of the Toney Undertaking Company, Thursday evening, 19th inst., which meeting was a wind up of the year's work. Many questions touching the profession, and which should prove of interest to the public, while making for a higher standard of efficiency in the service of the undertaker to the public, were discussed, and plans formed for putting them into immediate operation. Another important matter which proved the subject of heated discussion was the unqualified undertaker or the body-snatcher parading under the caption of undertaker, whose only consideration in the profession is the dollar, without regard to sympathy for or interest in the welfare of the bereaved. The St. Louis Undertakers Association warms the public to know that it does not in any way condone such tactics in the profession, and as readily as it finds among its number a member guilty of such practice, he no longer continues a member of the association, and that it is using every legitimate means to bring such practices to the attention "of the public with a view to it disregard the association of the undertaker. Recently, at stated meetings of the association, two of its members were expelled for these practices, and the association means to keep up its fight against these practices until it rules the public of these unprofessional parasites. Below is a list of the members of the St. Louis Undertakers Association who have pledged themselves to uphold the standard of the profession: **Members of the Association** Russell Undertaking Co. 2732 Pine St. Harrison McKinis 2006 Lawton Ave. Gus Scott. 2015 Lawton Ave. R.

BUY YOUR FALL AND WINT NOW, At JAKE JIC YOUR TAILOR A Jim Taylor Will Again Pilot The St. Louis Stars Officials of the St. Louis Stars made it known this week that they would again have the services of James "Candy" Taylor, as a manager of the 1925 club. According to the officials there never has any doubt in their minds as to who will be the next manager due to the best that so many rumors have been spread from time to time, and so much speculation as to whether or not Jim Taylor would manage the new club at Indianapolis, they thought it best to settle all the rumors forever, so far as this season is concerned. Manager Taylor, upon taking up the rains this season, will have been with the club as manger for two and a half seasons, during which time he has kept the club in the running and has developed what he calls the best clubs to be the best bunch of youngsters in the West at present. James Taylor started playing baseball as far back as 1903 in Birmingham, Ala., with the Birmingham Glias, being a teammate with his brothers, C. I. and Steel Arm. Taylor has played third base all these years and in his prime was rallied in the game, hitting like a domoon and fielding like a flash. He has also been a member of the St. Paul Gophers, American Giants, West Baden Spruels, Dayton Marcos, Cleveland, where he left to take up the managerial reins of the Stars. He is known all over the country as one of the best managers in the country in the matter of defense. He is a player who never heis, one can always find a majority of the player under him of a very tender age. A recent communication from Mr. Taylor, who is at present in Indianapolis where he is operating the Bilford Parlor of the widow of his late brother, C. I. states that he is expecting to land in the first division with the club this season. He also states that he will have several real surprises for the fans when his club takes the field in May. He will if plans remain in Indianapolis in St. Louis. According to authentic reports the local club will present an even stronger line up than last season, in which event it can easily be seen that all league clubs will have a tough time heating the Stars. Manager Taylor is expected in the city some time early next month to finish training preparations. Many Stars On The New Indianapolis League Club Manager Todd Allen Busy Lining Up Material For Long, Hard Training Grind INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 25. Indianapolis is going to have a "bang-up" ball club in the league thin season, according to the manager, Todd Allen, who is busy gathering material with which he hopes to again place in the league. Capital city back on the baseball man. Mr. Alleu does not, however, predict any such thing as a pennant winner for the Indianapolis club, but he does think he will land in the money, that is, one of the first three places. "I have some mighty fine players among the youngsters to select from," said Mr. Allen," and with the half dozen or more seasoned league players we have, the various league clubs, we should be able to give league fans something worthwhile in, in the way of a good baseball club. It has long been my desire to lead a league club, and now that I am to have the chance I shall do my utmost to deliver the goods. Of course, I am aware that much will depend upon the kind of players I am able to secure, but when I am all over, think that baseball has much to much for the club and the league. I feel that it is my Big Chance to make good and I am going to try hard to do it." Mr. Allen also stated that he will have a list of his players ready for publication next week. Among the players already under lock' will be found the names of many stars of various league clubs who will come here to fill in the gaps as they may appear. If present plans do not go astray Mr. Allen predicts one or two stars of all times for the local roster. Mr. Werner Jewell, president of the club, made the following statement Monday to newspapermen: "I have the utmost confidence in Todd Allen as a manager, and will give him every possible chance to make good and demonstrate his ability to give the local fans, as well as fans of the entire circuit a club worthy of its name. I am positive that our team will be able to offer this, and the fact that we will have a real club here, I have nothing to say at this time." It became known today that one of the stars of the California league will wear an Indiansap uniform this season, though nothing definite could be obtained from the officials.

Chicago Basketball Team Will Visit St Louis Soon The Wendell Phillips High School Basket Ball team of Chicago, IL, will make its first appearance in St. Louis on March 24 and 25. This team chains, and perhaps justly so, the high school championship of the East and Middle West. This is based on their defeat of Armstrong High of Washington, D. C., and Lincoln High of Kansas City last season, and the smashing defeat handed Armstrong at Chicago just two weeks ago. The Phillips boys undoubtedly have a real, machine like team and our local teams will have to step some to stop them. The games will be played on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 24 and 25.

BIG R FIVE SHOW POWER DEFEAT WHITE CHAMPIONS BIG R FIVE SHOW POWER DEFEAT WHITE CHAMPIONS News-Argus Service NEW YORK, Feb. 25—By their decisive win over Bennie Borgerman's All Stars, white, to the time of 54 to 34 in one of the fastest and best attended games, at the Renaultsance Casino this season, the Renaissance Big Five stamp themselves as one of the best guards, and the game Sunday, night each member of the team distinguished blimsm, and it would be difficult to pick out an individual star. Hal Mayer, who is rapidly coming to be known as one of the best guards, regardless of color, in the game today, came from a sick bed to play last Sunday night and notwithstanding the handicap, and one field goal during the entire game. The shooting of Pappy Ricks was almost uncanny at times, earning for that had the title of "Dead Shot Pappy." Fat Jenkins and Georgia Flall were everywhere, and the display of fleetness and energy by those two sterling players contributed much to the stands systematic work of Capt. Sloan at center was a fine balance for the entire excellent team work of the whole team. Rooters for the Big R quilt got a mild jar during the first half when Harold Mayer seemed to have been corrupted and was very much in the game from then on. At the end of that half the score stood 28,22 of the home team. Between the halves there was an exhibition dance that caught the fancy of the big crowd and drew considerable applause. Lovers of the game agree that it was one of the best ever seen in Harlem. Long String of Victories Last Saturday night the Big R lads added, another victim to their long string when they took the Gone Five Stomp camp by the Storm Bob Douglas is serving to the hundreds who weekly flock to the games a treat in the nature of a game with a colored team, the Panthers, Philadelphia's crack quitter. Just recently the Panthers met and defeated the Leonard Five of Pittsburgh and have rolled up an excellent record for this season over in the Quaker City.

In the Realm of Sports Written Exclusively For The PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Foreword:—This column is intended to give a brief resume and unbiased standpoint, with the sole intention of promoting Negro athletes, both amateur and professional. By Leonard Massenburge For the Associated Negro Press For the Associated Negro Press. More news from the land of Cleopatra for the ladies of this day can be gathered from the beautiful Nefreti-ta, presented to the British Museum. According to reports, it is one of the loveliest and most perfectly executed portrait busts to be seen. It is perfectly colored and there is nothing crude about it. It is as finished and lifelike as the product of the most accomplished modern sculptor and shows a raving beauty, long, slim-secked, with the at present popular and criticised, "debautarte story," wearing a strange high crown of beaten gold. Famous archaeologists are swearing that Nefreti-ta is the most beautiful woman of antiquity. This relic indicates that when the pyramide were being built the beauties who went out to see them prided themselves upon their alliance. Records indicate also, that they had their beauty doctors and that they fought fat indisputiously. But they differed in one essential from the beauties of today. Their feet were large and evidently they did not care who knew it, for they were sandals which revealed them utterly. Also they were quite accustomed to other revelations which we shun. These, however, were entirely at the upper body. The legs always were at least velled. Along with the bust of Qionex Nefret-tel, Arthur Barkley who unearth it, he presented the muse, and together with the bust of Queen Takushen who is reported to have lived in Bubastia 945 years before Christ. Its hair is of the very late Bond street style, for Bond street reports to the contrary notwithstanding, still shingles the hair of many among Londons most fashionable women. He also revealed the fact that as long ago as 2754 B. C., beauties wanted to keep their figure slim and took violent caricatures for the same purpose. They also rouged and used tice powder. While Benny Leonard is resting easily with his lightweight crown there is a still hunt for a race light. With the "Old Master," Joe Gana. His name is always mentioned whenever a successor to Leonard's crown is the conversation. The man who is wanted is fill funk' shoes must be fat, clever, and be able to hit hard. But as yet that a can not be found. It was a treat to see the "Old Master" step around in the squared circle. His terrific punches with the speed of lightning was worth the admission alone. But God's will was done and He left us without a successor. In speaking of welterweights we must by all means mention that killer Joe Walcott, who is still living Bigger they are and harder they fall was the slogan of that old timer, who could drop them with one punch. This was proven time and again. Mickey Walker, the present holder of that title would have been "murdered" by Walcott. Tiger Flowers is here now and he can take care of the middleweight and lightweight titles. Given a chance at the above mentioned, titles 1825 will see a race man a double champion with two titles under his belt. And it is the hope of all race loving fans. Y. M. C. A.

His place in history is slowly but surely being fixed through the medium of the metal days that come close to together. Paul Robeson, now doing the Emperor Jones at the Fifty second street theater, read the Emancipation Proclamation as part of the big general program conducted by a number of organizations before the Lincoln monument at Union Square. The Congregational church of Harlem was the scene of a. Douglas-Lincoln celebration. Alta Brown, the soprano, was the vocal feature of the bill, and the young Washington artist who has made a reputation in the West Indies and South America and is a member of the sailor John C. Hawkins, ex member of the state legislature, Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age were the speakers of the occasion. Andrew Strickland, tenor, and Marie Jackson Stewart completed a most unusual and remarkable program that was prepared by F. W. Bean. The Lincoln theater emphasized the week by presenting the Abraham Lincoln film and the people of Harlem cried, prayed, and applauded over the filmed history of the great martyr... The vaudeville bill presented with it included Jim and Jack, a pair of dancing boys, who have just returned from London with an original dance offering both as to routine and costuming has been presented in a long time. Leonard Harper's was the big act. Ford and Price, an unusual white wire act, provided the novelty. John W. Cooper, the ventriloquist was the surprise feature at an affair tendered to Rev. Clayton Powell, pastor of the largest Baptist church in New York, the occasion being his wife's birthday. Francis Wilson and Edna Lewin Thomas are starring a curtain raiser for the Emperor Jones entitled Dreamy Boy, a 27 minute dramatic tilt at the Fifty Second street theater. Reviewers speak high of the piece, and the artista Wilson won the place. Lewis Schooler, Francis Corbie and Nathaniel Sack are members of an otherwise white cast of 16 artists in Cape Smoke, a drama that opened at the Martin Beck theater, February 16. Copeland and Jones left New York with contracts for six weeks of vaudville dates that will take them to Quebec and back. Illness has been upsetting the on- gements of the Harrod. Jubilee singers but the misfortunes seem to have subsided, and they are again lifting dates in and around town. G. Barnett, who formerly conducted his own quartette, has joined the Harrods and basso he sings. Miss Wallon, the contratto, registered a few high notes when she heard of the Brown and Stevens bank failure, but she feels less anxious about a substantial reserve that she had on deposit there since she has heard of the meeting of depositors in Philadelphia. The Douglas Theatre management has undergone a change, Mr. Hubs, the former manager, has gone 'into the printing business specializing in the theatrical work, and Irving Rothenberg has assumed charge of the house. His first week's program included Galloping Hoots, a Patho serial in which Leon Williams has an important part. There are other Negroes in the cast, and a number of other singers. Patho concern seems to have the right idea on mob scenes of American life. The Mischbeaux film, The House Behind the Cedars, was the feature offering February 15. 16. It is a wonderful story on the subject of "Passing" with Andrew Bishop, Shinzie Howard and Lawrence Chenault in the "fat" parts. On February 22, the Douglass installed an 18 piece orchestra with a view of making music a prominent part of their program. While the Holkemp minstrels' was in its second week at the Lafayette theater, Prof. Arthur Wright, band master was equipped with the credentials of a deacon. The professor is one of those fellows who insist upon visitation by the choir he walks the Page to death seeing churches, business houses of the race, homes of distinguished people and otherwise adding to his store of information. He is a good mixer, too; but has little time for the common place. Lt. Fred Simpson has contracted to present the Monarch Band at the Palace theater, White Plains, New York, for the week of April 23 under the auspices of Briarcliffe Lodge, 145, B. P. O. E. W. Yes, the worm has turned. We were once a mendicant group; but it is different, today. We are slowly picking up our share of the burden of community interest. A colorful church in the Philadelphia Episcopal church and a number of individuals have donated to the funds for St. John's the Divine Cathedral. The performers have been the forerunners of this for THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN they have long been donating services and money to every known charity or benefit.

"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "It is the most single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." — H. G. Wells. We, here and now, congratulate the Citizens Council for endorsing the Hon. Louis P. Aloe for mayor. To our best way of thinking, the council could not have made a wiser choice from among those who have filed for that office up to this time. An endorsement carries with it responsibility. So, in endorsing Mr. Aloe, the council took upon itself two responsibilities. The first, was a pledge to support Mr. Aloe, not only in the primary, but to stay with him through the general election, and to do all in their power to make him mayor. The second, a very grave responsibility to the people which must necessarily follow their endorsement, because most of the leaders in the council are leaders of the people. These men and women know Mr. Aloe, not just yesterday, as it were, but of years, true and tried. These men and women fully realize what they are doing, and not being led by the bosses. They are speaking and acting in the best interest of the people, basing their action on years of experience in St. Louis politics. There are a few among us, of course, who will think and act differently, and will possibly support some other candidate. We do not know whether they have really looked into the fitness and qualifications of the other candidates for mayor or not, but one thing we do know, and that is this: we, as a group, can ill afford to take any changes at this time. We have felt the influence of the Klan in this city in that we have seen our rights as citizens gradually being taken from us. We should take no chances. In supporting some of the candidates on the Republican ticket there is as much-danger as there is in a child playing with fire-brands. By supporting one particular candidate on the Republican ticket, we are flirting with that hooded band known as the Ku Klux Klan. We wish we all could see the danger. A grave responsibility rests upon those who are encouraging the Ku Klux Klan. Surely this is a time to think, and think logically on these things.

Evening, but race prejudice is deep seale Calhoun has found it necessary a prejudice, he should be all the more zealous prejudice, when a jury is being selec In an address before the Credit Men's Association recently, Judge John W. Calhoun is reported as having said that he would like to see more credit men on the juries, especially, when a corporation or big business concern is being sued. He pointed out that juries are more or less prejudiced, and are swayed by their sympathies. We think that this is a very significant statement coming from a judge. He realizes that it is hard, or next to impossible for one to get justice under our present jury system when a jury is out of sympathy with the cause before it. This condition, to our mind, calls for more than mere passing notice. We are thinking of the hundreds and thousands of colored people, in this city, whose cases, before the courts seeking justice, suffer miscarriage of justice because their cases are decided by a prejudiced and hostile jury. Then, too, we are thinking of the possibilities of chances for members of the Klan being drawn as jurymen. We all know that it is absolutely impossible for a Negro to have the slightest chance for justice when a member of the Klan has to pass on his case. Judge Calhoun can see danger and injustice in cases of property rights when juries are prejudiced, we wonder if human rights are not greater. Would it not be the proper thing for Judge Calhoun to use his good offices to see to it that a more equal distribution of jury service is made among all citizens. - Property prejudice may be created at any time, circumstances always governing, but race prejudice is deep seated and abiding, and if Judge Calhoun has found it necessary to take note of property prejudice, he should be all the more zealous of guarding against race prejudice, when a jury is being selected before him.

The opinion that the American public, north of the , Mason-Dixon line, has of the southern Negro as to his being a natural rapist, is the result of the manner of the southern Negro in the reading public. When a Negro is charged with rape, he is immediately arrested, placed in fall, and by night THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 27, 1925 NEGRO POLICE WERE NOT UNIFORMED BY V. MILLER Charged With Attempt To Mislead The Colored Voters. Governor's Letter Is Cited. Statements by Victor J. Miller, candidate for mayor at the coming Republican primaries, to the effect that he (Miller) is responsible for Negro policemen in St. Louis being in uniform have drawn fire from men who know the truth about the matter. These men claim that Miller is trying to obtain votes by asserting that he performed this service for the colored people, when, as a matter of fact, he did nothing of the kind. They point to the fact that Mr. Miller made similar assertions last summer in his race for the nomination for governor, and now repeats the offense, although the statement was refuted at the time. Governor Hyde's Letter Governor Arthur M. Hyde, in a letter, sent in reply to one written to him on the subject by Attorney Homer G. Phillips, says to Mr. Phillips: "Your statement of the case regarding colored policemen is substantially correct," and adds: "You will readily appreciate the fact that the Police Board itself must necessarily, under the law, have been the active agent, but also that the question of policy was made by the administration." In another column of the Argus it is shown how Mr. Miller was requested to put Negro policemen in uniform, when he was first made president of the Police-Board, and how he refused. It is also shown that appeal was made directly to Governor Hyde before results were obtained. It is, therefore, charged that Miller is attempting to mislead the colored voters on the question and to obtain their support in the mayoralty fight by "claiming credit for something he did not do." I am writing you at this time relative to a matter here, which because of some conditions, makes it necessary for me to make a statement relative to the same. Victor Miller and his campaign managers are claiming credit for the increased number of colored men on the police force of this city, and for placing them in uniform. This statement by them is not true. I am certain that you recall the conference we had relative to this matter, and Your pledge before your nomination for Governor. I feel reasonably certain that you also recall the conference arranged by me for you, at Union Memorial church, held one afternoon, where you met a number of colored ministers and other colored leaders and Where you repeated publicly the statement previously made to me about Uniforms for the colored members of the police force of our city. At that time I had never heard of Victor Miller and I am quite certain that he had nothing to do with obtaining your consent in the matter. And it occurs to me that it is as great a wrong to obtain votes by false pretense as it is to obtain property. I have no desire to quote or to in no wise involve you in a controversy. I am to speak the latter part of this week and proposed to discuss this matter, and shall place the credit for what has been done in this regard where it properly belongs. I am assuming that whatever connection Mr. Miller had with this matter, after he became President of the Board of Police Commissioners of this City, was in discharge of the pledges made by you to the colored people of this City. If any statement contained herein is in error, I would appreciate your views on the matter. I again assure you I have no desire to give publicity to the same. Very truly yours, Homer G. Phillips. I have your letter of the 21st. Your statement of the case regarding colored policemen is substantially correct. As I now recall the matter the fact that colored men had been made policemen in Kansas City influenced me that the same should be done in St. Louis, which is probably the basis for your statement that I covered this matter in a statement made before election. After the Police Board was organized it was my recollection that this matter was discussed and colored police officers were authorized. You will readily appreciate the fact that the Police Board itself must, necessarily, under the law, have been the active agent, but also that the question of policy was made by the administration Hon.

The newspapers pick it up, put it on the front page "Negro Attacks: White Girl 'Lynched by Crowd of Masked Men' Can't Be Identified" Negro Confessed." That is what the reading public gets without the details, and they form their opinion of the Negro from that. This sort of matter placed before the eyes of the people every month in the year soon makes a lasting impression, and that impression is that the Negro is a brute. That sort of feeling in a decent man sets up a fighting spirit in him and he goes on fighting in his heart a general hate for men he has never seen, about whom he knows nothing and who have never harmed him in any manner. All of this is a result of the unfair manners in which the newspapers present things. Sheriff Schuler has appointed five or six Negro men as deputy sheriffs. What the general public will think of these men as deputies will depend largely upon the sort of publicity the papers make of the acts of these men while on duty. All we ask is that the papers be fair with these men. Last week an incident happened in Judge Frey's Court and the Star immediately proceeded to give the Negro deputy sheriff a rough deal. These facts as I got them from the court room officials, are these: Charles Dunn, a Negro deputy sheriff in Judge Frey's Court had the custody of a boy牛 boy convicted of abused boys charged by boys' brother who was凶犯 demanded of the Negro deputy sheriff if the release of his brother; that is, not to lock him up until he could pay his brother's fine.

A. M. Hyde. became abusive and insistent, and the deputy sheriff had to strike him in order to keep his prisoner. The St. Louis Star, in reporting the matter, starts the article off in large black headlines, "Man is Attacked Near Court Room by Negro Deputy." If a white deputy had had a Negro prisoner and the prisoner's brother had done as the white prisoner, he would have been attacked by my life that the article would have been headed, "Negro Tries to Take Brother From Deputy Sheriff-Sheriff Uses his Gun in Line of Duty." Thousands of people will read the hold headlines and no more, form a bad opinion of the Negro. Deputy Sheriff and set their future actions in line with that opinion. I have read the St. Louis Star daily for five years and only in a few instances have I noticed its comment on anything that Negro-people do that is wrong, either does not know of such things or will not mention them. But the St. Louis Star can always seek out all the mean, criminal and ridiculous acts of Negroes and give them fully front page space under headlines that cannot escape the eye. Negro people are like any other people in that the best there is in them exhibits itself under the best circumstances. I feel that the Star and all the other papers of St. Louis owe it to the city's white and black, not to allow their papers to become medians through which seeds of strife may be scattered. S. E.

Dreer wrote a splendid novel, "The immediate Jewel of the Soul," but it did not prove a good seller. It was not the first novel for its construction and content for surpassed many of those found in the popular sellers that the reading public caters to now.a days. It was just another "flower borr." The public in the hustle and busie of life have their minds scattered in a thousand and one places scanning here, hesitating a bit there, but concentrating, generally, only when some new or unusual devices possessing the primary function of the psychology of attentions are present. Mr. Drice's production, as is the case with the works of most Negro althors, was not favored by a better success, chiefly, because it did not and could not readily comply with these necessities. The publications of most colored writers fall, not because of the incompetence of the author, but, as a market enterprise, squeeze a lack of appropriate environment. In most instances the stage is not set to receive their literature, and those few writings that do succeed nationally must grapple with obstacles on every hand. Where are the institutions fostering the discovery and encouragement of Negro literary talent? Where are the devices and practices stressing a more liberal patronage of Negro writings? Where are the forces for the stimulating and arousing of a broader interest in the products of colored au. thors? The tremendous handicap facing the colored writer becomes quite evident when one is confronted by such questions as those above. One of the practical and highly favorable suggestions that has been made for the solution of the problem of, the Negro author is the organization of a writers' guild. Such an institution would obviously do away with the majority of the drawbacks prone to beset the aspiring colored writer. Many towns have colored literary clubs and societies, but there is not one in the country (that has a professional Negro writer) with a professional organization of such an institution would no doubt mean the redemption of the Race's literature in America if adopted nationally. A writers' guild would be one of the most promising virtues that the colored writers of the country could turn to, whether they be essayists, poets, play-wrights, short story writers, or artists as a result would come through its tendency to unite the best colored writers, who would be able to work earnestly and intently for the welfare of the art. It would be a body that could work as no other in a manifold capacity to master the shortcomings and handicaps of the Negro in the field of life. Epitomizing greatly, the body could function in five important capacities: (1) By studying and analyzing Negro literature and its relation to the literature of other nations of the world. (2) By organizing a recognized board of literary judges to decide the merit of an author's works. (3) By keeping in touch with the schools and colleges attended by Negroes, and keeping constantly before them the life and practices of Negro authors and their works. Dr. Terry M.

Del. 5242-W HOURS: 8 to 12 and 3 to 8. Sundays By Appointment. (4) By conducting national literary contests. (5) By acting as a middle man in marketing the articles of colored authors. (This effort would involve a campaign to get the reader more interested in the work of colored writer more desirous of authorship as an occupation). It could not be expected that such a body could be organized on so broad a basis as a national or even a territorial basis in a day, a week, a month or a year. Everything worthwhile, if it be obtained fairly, must be obtained through slow making pilots for the slow tell what kind of a crop he is going to have when he sows a field of grain. He has the uncertainties of nature to contend with, but nevertheless, he has an end in view and he works to accomplish that end, for he feels that the benefits are worth all the hazards. With most, every project one starts for a goal but can never be certain of attaining it, but the benefits of improvement are likely littered by the attractiveness of the object. Thus it would be with the attempt of such a significant thing as the organization of a writer's guild. The students of English literature might well remember "Grub Street," the rendezvous of a group of poor and oppressed writers, victims of "literary patronage," whose determined spirit and iron will lifted them above the barriers, and saw the production of some of the foremost authors in English literature. It would be good if the Negro would start a "Grub Street" in America. Who knows but what a writers' guild might not do as much for the American Negro: in literature as earnest endeavor did for the downcast scribblers of "Grub Street." A writers' guild might be organized in Chicago, New York, Washington. St. Louis or any town. It might be a minute body with a seemingly insurmountable task at first, but if deep down in the pages of the book of its future program it has printed a plan working towards national expansion, some day it might be the great champion of the cause of the Negro man of literature in America. Such a project might seem as the myth of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but some day, who knows, it might mean the founding of a giant Negro publishing company consisting of works and products of colored thors; it might mean the establishment of a ranking Negro school of journalism, and the instigation of the founding of a Negro school of Fine Arts; (both of which would be valuable assets in collecting and disseminating priceless records of the history of the Negro, and the production of a representative art, which would not be such a stereotype of those of the white brothers —could not be attested a copying of products of a Nordic or any other civilization), and it would ultimately mean the allying of this Negro literary society with leading foreign and American literary societies, which would obviously bring a broader, bigger and better understanding between the Negro and other races of the world, and place his name in a higher place in the annals of history.

Associated Negro Press. TORONTO, Ont., Can., Feb. 25. Hon, Lincoln Goldie, provincial secretary of Ontario has within the last few days dismissed the petitions of two Ku Klux Klan organizations for a 'charter to organize in Ontario. In dismissal she has written the sectarian "There will be no charters for Ku Klux Klan in Ontario" and declined to discuss the question further. The Sovereign Knights of the Ku Kux of Gt. Britain was the cogmen adopted by the petitioners, who came from Windsor, and who stated that they would organize as soon as charter was received. Their beitation was refused last week. The Ancient and Invisible Order of K. K. K. of Kanada initiated about 200 under the direction of a Kleagle from Montreal, who styled himself Mr. X. They are supposed to have secured a Hall on Yonge street, Saturday night; but their plea for, a charter fell on deaf cars as old those of their rivals. Klansmen Larsen and MacGowan from Buffalo visited the city some time ago for the purpose of organizing a branch of the American Klan. He appeared at Orange Hall and asked to explain their mission to Canada, but the Orangemen, who by the way have not a few colored members, gave them their marching orders. The Toronto Telegram, the organ of the Conservative Party of which Mr. Goldie is a member said: "The way to keep the Ku Klux Klan out of Canada is to keep the American racial and sectarian activities and organizations out of Canada. The same race and creed activities that produced resistance from the Ku Klux Klan in the United States will produce the resistance in Canada either in the name of the Ku Klux Klan or some other name."

J. L. Caston, D. D., of 4548 West Belle Place, it was learned this week, has been asked to assume the pastorate of the Wills Community Church of Winnipipe, Canada, at the earliest possible date. This news comes as a surprise to his many friends here as it was gener- ally hoped that he would accept a position in St. Louis, due to the fact that he has been sought here. Other cities, among them being *Wekoku* la.; Pittsburgh, Pa. and Washington, D. C., have also extended him invi- tations to accept charges in their minders Max. Caston has made a splendid record as a minister and is an organizer of exceptional merit as well as a scholarly and finished pulpitteer. He let it be known that he has not decided upon the course he will pursue but acknowledged that the Winnipig proposition will be given to him. He said "It is true that I have been called to Winnipig and The Wills Community Church offers a very urgent appeal. I will, of course, arrange to visit them and get first hand information. The church is reputed to be a large field for service and offers a very interesting monetary consideration. I understand Winnipig is the capital of the province and propolis in the province, having a population of nearly 200,000. I can't say what I'll do. The whole thing is a surprise to me." The Rev. Mr. Caston, just recently closed out a four year successful pastorate at Columbia, Mo., and has held numerous places of honor in his church and state. Missourians, in general, as well as St. Louisans, will regret to see him become a resident of the British Empire. Notes On Labor Conditions By ELISHA GREEN For the Associated Negro Press Letters from the big firms at Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Gary and Duluth, state that while they are gradually increasing their forces they have a great surplus of labor to draw from and advise against large numbers, coming and seeking employment. It is to be hoped that our people of the South will not start/come North until there is a change in the situation. The New England states report a building program of over three hundred millions of dollars for 1925. They should open the way for many skilled men, but the demand will hardly start until the weather breaks. There is some demand for skilled men in the molding trade. Colored molders are scarce—and for the man who learns this business there is steady work in every steel district. Michigan reports an excess of comon labor. The demand will depend largely upon the demand for autos and so far the demand has not justified any great increase. Should the demand take on momentum in the first quarter of this work for a large number inasmuch as many persons who came last year have returned South. Persons coming north must consider the high rents in the large cities. Most people wish to come to any one of the larger cities and these are generally the last ones to consider because of the high rents and food costs are rather lower in the North than in the South, but the high rents make up for the difference. General good advice for those who hope to come North is that they do not come unless they have a job ready for them when they arrive. Do not pay attention to rumors and reports of friends. Rumors are usually false and friends who are working for themselves have little opportunity to get the exact conditions of business and labor demand. They may see a new face now and thea and conclude that there is work to be had, but they do not see the crowds at the gates waiting to come in. Be sure you are right before you venture. The newspapers of the future will be issued tomorrow. No wonder the up.to.date girl limps after being vaccinated. The St. Louis Argus ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,FEBRUARY 27,1925 THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE St. Louis, Mo. February 25, 1925. To The Public: We take pleasure in advising you that we are interested in financing and constructing Churches and especially interested in lending our service to the needs of the Colored Churches of St. Louis and y睫hcn. Our method of carrying out this work is through First Mortgage Real Estate Bonds, issued by the Church being constructed or financed, the sale of these Bonds being made for the most part to members of all churches on easy payment plans. Those investing in these bonds will receive six percent interest on the money invested, which is twice the amount usually received on savings, and at that rate, not only has the security of a First Mortgage to protect his investment, but has also secured financing on a sound basis which in our judgment, leads to the betterment and stability of the community as a whole. We are at present under contract to finance the $75,000 Fifth Baptist Church of St. Louis; (Rev. J. T. Caston, Pastor); and the First Corinthian Baptist Church, of Lovejoy, Ill. (Rev. K. E. Crump, Pastor) and we solicit your hearty co-operation in these two worthy projects. Prejudice In Washington, D.C. Staff Correspondence Associated, Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25. Over in Cleveland, Ohio, some years ago, there was a minister, whose attitude and demeanor were such that the bishop told him, "Give a Damm Jones." He is a character now almost forgotten but his name, like the spirit of John Brown, goes marching on. Going about the nation's capital, center of learning, culture, beauty and government, one is led to inquire whether the city of magnificent distances has developed the Damm Jones attitude. There is much more much to bring the question to one's mind. This is particularly so, so regards colored America. Time was when Washington was an ideal nation's capital. Prejudice or at least discrimination, was at a minimum. Colored people were a persona grata, at least apparently, in the good old days, and too they were your call when there were colored congressmen, and there was representation in the United States Senate, and in practically all of the departments, on an equal and fair basis. Hotels were open, one of the most notable owned by a colored family, the Wormley's. You could purchase a hotel where Colored people were invited, Colored people to be present at state functions, Restaurants were opened, as they should be, to all trade. What is the situation, today? It is practically the opposite. There are no members of Congress, no not one; not a single representative for a group of 12,000,000 people. All of them have been eliminated more successfully than the Black Plague. There is not a single theatre or resided downwind where colored people were located, decently and most of the theatres, restaurants and restaurants give you to understand strictly that they "do not cater to your people," and they get away with it famously. The conditions of government departments in Washington is an age old scandal. Segregation in its viles form not only obtains, but thrives. Born with trepidation under the Republican administration of William Howard Taft, it reached bloom under Woodrow Wilson, and continued under Warner Biology. Warren G. Harding in some places, segregated signs have been taken down, but the segregation itself has not been eliminated. The Associated Negro Press representative has not only seen these unfortunate conditions, but has talked with scores of government employees who are compelled to suffer the embarrassment and inconvenience of promotions are held to lowest ebb. The scores of departments where faithful and intelligent racial workers, on merit, should be made heads and chief clerks, and the best they can get, with ugly protestations, is a first class clerkship. These employees talk among themselves up in Northwest Washington, hold secret meetings to work out plans to buttress segregation, take the chance of writing a letter to a superior officer, or a member of Congress, but there is little progress made. Congressmen Play a Grand Game. Speaking very frankly, ninety percent of the members of the Senate and the House, play a grand game of "passing the buck" or "Don't Give a Damn" and get away with it. The actual situation is this: Count the southern members out to start with, and then the Damn members out to places by bering the Negro, and distranchisement. Their cockiness in Congress is only exceeded by their ignorance and egotism, which are one and the same. It is a distressing sight to any red-blooded American, regardless of color, to see their strut about in their activities on the floor of their respective households, to help thinking that they are there because "If I Give a Damn" attitude of American citizens, who seek to make a mere seren of paper of the great Constitution. Then there is a large group of countries northern states who have few. If any colored constituents. The matters that affect colored, America give them but little concern. There are in this group, however, a small few who will come to the rescue of justice and right, when it is brought up to them, but they never go after anything. Then there is that smaller group, the senators, who come from the states, where the colored voter has political power. This last group is a magnificent study. This last group often has things brought to them, more or less forcibly. They are active near election time, and vacillating afterwards. There are few exceptions to this rule. They shy from racial matters, and only handle them with a long handled spoon. If colored American voters could keep close to them in other days, in the hotels' clubs, cloak rooms and places where they can "get their heads together", there would be no segregation in the departments, photographs would be eliminated from civil service regulations, and in the city of Washington itself, the nation's capital, there would be as little discrimination, public, regardless of the southernners, as there is in New York. Boston and Chicago. Such a condition should obtain, and it remains to be seen whether the inauguration of Coolidge and Dawes will bring about a new day. There are those who believe it will, and there are plenty who doubt The "Don't Give a Damn" attitude has become so general that colored Washington tolerates it; even though it does not, grin about it, and those from the forty-eight states seem to forget, that this is their capital, and they should rise up and claim it as their very own. When will the capital stop saying "We Don't Give a Damn." THE TOWER By ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS By Tower Man For the Associated News Press For the Associated Nerdy Press. Why is a Tower.

Thomas Edison, the wizard of electricity, at eighty, on request of his wife, sleeps six hours a night instead of his proverbial four. There are some folks we know who appear never to sleep. Floyd Collins, trapped in a Kentucky cave, stirred the sympathy of the world, and gave up his life. There have been many colored men trapped by lynch mobs, and gave up their life, who hardly got a passing chance. Mr. Collins read to the Man: "I don't even read it. It just one less cracker to have against us." Conditions and such thoughts peril Americas future. Frederic William Upham, former treasurer of the Republican National Committee, honored and honorable citizen of Chicago, successful business man, has gone to his fathers, Mr. Upham was one of those tolerant citizens of Chicago, successful business, who helped in the pinches, but had his ideas of racial limitations. He was a friend to man, but cautious with his power. The editorial page of our racial newspapers, *most of them*, has developed with delightful satisfaction. We know some editors who take as much pride in the opinion, standard and typographical beauty of their editorial page as they do in their home. They guide it and protect its influence. There is a grand future for a people who develop such editors. "Sing a song of six-pence." Sunkissed *American* sings, and sings and sings, everywhere, at work at school, at church, at play. The taxi driver told me: "I was singing up there so happy. I forgot to pull the flag." The singing in the cottonfields, "the mines, the steel mills, is one of the traditions of American development. The barber shop chords followed the glories "in the evening by the moonlight." Out of it all we have Roland, Hayes, Marina Anderson, Florence Cole Tubert, and scores of other artists, two continents, Sing, "Lift in your heads and sing." During the interracial exchange of pulpits on the Sunday nearest Lincoln's birthday, the choir of a racial church furnished the singing in one of Detroit's fashionable white churches. A white woman member sat agastah with surprise when, looking up at the choir she discovered her cook as one of the world listeners. "Sing; the world, listens." "Hope, see, stare and love hears the rustling of a wing." One of the close associates of the Tower Man recently dubbed him a "Chiminal Optimist," "sall right." "Upon this rock I build my church and the gates of hell shall not pre-vaill against it." Optimism is burned in my soul, and doubtless there are times when I have been foolhardy with it. Without it, I would be nothing, I would be a miserable creature. Let those who will relish sophistication, cynism, pessimism and forever sing the blues. As for me and my house we will sing: "I Want to be Happy, and Want you Happy too." Brown and Stevens, Bankers of Philadelphia, are in the hands of receivers. Philadelphia, a splendid Eastern, conservative city, has been made a business center for the group, like many other Northern centers, because thousands came from the South. Andrew Stevens is a native of Philadelphia, aristocrat in the manor home from the South, a man of vision and progressive ideas. It is fondly hoped that we will some day find our way out of these economic catastrophes, and we will. White America has doggedly shut us out of the great business world, and we have gone into it on our nerve, with little experience, and certainly with little of the sympathy or co-operation that goes to others in a crisis. We face this issue of two ways. Encourage us, especially with protection, or combine with such whites as will venture into the business field. Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Federal Council of churches, headquarters in New York, stated to the Tower Man that he is firmly of the opinion that we are passing through a great crisis in race advancement. "We have clamored for self expression, self development and self advancement. Now, we must either prove ourselves capable of success, or failure." Haynes. He is of the opinion that we should more and more co-operate with white America and not try to do it all by ourselves. William C. Matthews, Chief Engineer of the Coolidge campaign last year, was given a testimonial banquet at the famous, and fair, Young's hotel, Boston, Attorney Stevens, toastmaster, attributed the victory to the "four horsemen: President Coolige, William M. Butler, Frank Sterns and William C. Matthews." You thought you counted something in the achievement, didn't you? Well, now you know you didn't amount to a tinkers dam—if you know what that sort of thing is. There is to be a great international rhinoceros in Nincoln, March 27 and 28. It is to be different from anything this country has ever seen, and it is to be full, free and frank, North, South, East and West, sincere and fundamental. It will not be the largest group of whites and blacks ever together, but it has rich promise of being the most influential group. Unto us a princess is born. The Honorable Nicholas and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt-Longsworth are the happy parents of a baby girl, their first after eighteen years of married life. Mrs. Longsworth was "Princess Alice" to the world. The little heir was born in Chicago in the Lying-in hospital, which faces Washington Park, and the whole is in the newly acquired residential section of colored Chicago. There are many colored residents, in the Lying-in hospital, the Longsworth baby cry should they open their windows. There is only one Chicago. Herman Perry, President of the Standard Life Insurance Company and organizer of sames has resigned from all official connection with the organization. He sometime since resigned from the office of President of the Citizens' Trust Company, and was succeeded by Dr. Wilkins, a man of fine character and achievement. Mr. Perry became Chairman of the Board, he has resigned from that, and is now only connected with the Service company, a real estate organization. B. J. Davis, speaking editorially in the Davis, Indiana paper, has very highly of Mr. Perry's division to disconnect himself, and of his ability as an organizer, but questions his ability as an investor and preserver. Mr. Perry has set about to make good again. Answer to "Why is a Tower?" It is a fine thing to be "up above the ground," away from the madding crowd, and look for the good and beautiful.

DUTTON, 3224 Chouteau Ave. COLUMBIA, Mo., Feb. 25—The colored people at Columbia, Mo., are very much interested in the case of Ivory Hudson, a World War veteran and his wife, who are being "persecuted" in that city, simply because of their color. Hudson, the story says, "was in humanly treated and his wife was put in a cell with a female blood hobbit. The colored people feel defender of Hudson is a defense of the race. Mr. J. B. Coleman, a prominent colored citizen of Columbia, makes a statement of the case which is ds follows: the Legal Proceedings "Ivory Hudson, a young man about 30 years of age whose home is in McAlester, Oklahoma. is a World War veteran and Tubercular patient from the Veterans' Hospital near Coxage. Hudson has not been able to charge him, he was discharged from the service close of the World War. He was a patient at the Veterans' Hospital near Chicago, December 1, 1924, but was advised by the Hospital authorities to go to his home in Oklahoma for the winter, as the climate there was thought to be more beneficial to his weakened condition. Leaving Chicago early in the month of December, 1924 he came with his wife in a Ford touring car through St. Louis traveling State Highway No. 2 on the sixth day of December reached point on the road five and one half miles east of Columbia, Missouri. Reaching said distance a little after dawn of that day. Here he was ascending hill, up which came from the opposite side R. P. Reel, a white man, driving 42 heads of young cattle which Reed had on that afternoon unloaded from a Wabash car, after dark and dark up R. P. Reel with his cattle going up same hill in the opposite direction the met at or near the door of the other's presser, and before Hudson could stop his Ford he was right in the midst of some of the cattle straggling to ahead of Reed Hudson here stopped his car to pay toll the cattle to pass. Reed told him to drive on and came up to the right side of Hudson's car; after looking in and finding the occupants to be Negroes, he began cursing them in violence, and without further warning struck at Hudson thirteen wind-shield with heavy stick or peeking windshield of Hudson's car entirely in front of the glass with such force that the pieces cut Mrs. Hudson about the arms, hands and face. At this juncture Hudson pushed a revolver thru a curtain hole on the left side of the car and fired two shots away from the other side of the car where Reed was pounding it. This had the desired effect to make Reed run from the scene of action, R. P. Reed then went to a nearby neighbor, Joe Baumgartner from whose house Reed telephoned to a Police of Columbia to himself in his garage for running into his cattle shooting at him. This the Columbia Police did, meeting Hudson at the City limits, coming to Columbia for the purpose of reporting the matter to such person in authority as he might find and get needed protection on the public highway. Policemen Hupper and King brought Hudson and his wife to the City hold-over for 'detention. Hudson told his story of the accident but they put him in prison just the same. Then the question arose as to what should be done with Mrs Hudson; the chief of police ordered her to be put in prison also. Both Mrs Hudson and her husband prosecute, none nothing and should not be put in prison over their protests she was, forced into a cell with her husband and other prisoners where she remained for several hours. After 12 o'clock a.m. December 7, more prisoners were brought in and the room was needed for some white men arrested for being drunk; Mrs. Hudson was then taken out of that cell where her husband was and forced into a cell with a female blood bound where A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 Terenan And Wife ted At Columbia And Are Making A Fight in Self Defense she was kept for the next two days. During all that time no charges had been filed against her, nor have any charges been filed against her subse- quent to that time up to and inclu- ding the time of this writing. "When Hudson object to the treatment accorded him, some of which caused a hemorrhage from his lungs and to the imprisonment of his wife, some of the Police force ordered him not to be toolsmart or they would take him to the Stewart Bridge and would dispose of him as had been done with other smart "niggers," thus connecting their treatment of men with the "mob hagging" of James and from that Stewart Bridge in April, 1994. "The County Prosecuting Attorney filed information for three felonious acts and tried hard to send Hudson to the Penitentiary and R. P. Reed brought civil action to get Hudson's car. "When the Columbia Negroes learned of these facts they saw their rights as men and women, as civilizers or as any kind of human beings swept away. That cruel treatment of a good woman and an innocent man aroused the Columbia Negroes as nothing before has done in the history of his history. Investigation proves Hudson's he be an unrightly young man but seriously sick. Tuberculosis contracted while defending the honor of his Country and making the world safe for democracy. All the money he had with him when he and his wife were put in prison was gone when four days later. Mrs. Hudson was permitted to have possession of their property. Hence the Hudson cause became humanity's cause. Already more than $300.00 has been entrusted by the Columbia, Mo. Negroes to the Hudson defense Fund, but more is needed. "We, here in Columbia, feel that Hudson's legal battle is the Negroes' legal fight and for that reason we are asking the public elsewhere to aid us in our efforts to get justice in the Courts of this land. One judgment has already been rendered against Hudson and that case has been referred to the Suprine Court which required it to follow up. Other cases pending will also have to be followed if life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is to be maintained for Our Group in Cumbria, Missouri. Therefore a general call for help is sent out. "We are especially appealing to the Knights of Pythias of Missouri to send us some of the Legal Defense Funds suggested at Randolph Springs in the session of 1923. We have shown these findings and ask aid from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. All others who will, please come to our aid. This fight is yours as well as ours. "This case is being handled in the courts in a masterly manner by an attorney." J. B. Coleman, P. O. Box 332, Columbia, Mo." Preston News Service.

GOLDEN TEXT—He was wounded for our iniquities and bruised for our iniquities—Isa. 53: 5. PRIMARY TOFIC—How Wicked Men PRIMARY TOPIC—How Wicked Men Tried Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC: The Trial of Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC: THE TRIAL OF JESUS YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Christ Before Palate. In order to have a proper perspective for this lesson it will be helpful if we view in their proper relations our Lord's trials. A. Ecclesiastical. 1. Before Annas (John 18:13). 2. Before Caliphus and the Sanhedrin (Matt. 26:57, 59:66; Mark 14:53, 59:61; Luke 22:54; John 18:19:24). This was an irregular meeting and held at night. 3. Before the Sanhedrin (Matt. 27:1; Luke 22:66:71). This was held at the church and was a formal meeting. B. Civil. The ecclesiastical powers had voted a sentence of death upon Jesus, but they backed the right to inflict capital punishment, as this power had been taken from them by the Romans. For this reason they delivered Him to Pilate, the Roman governor. It was in the early morning after the mock trial before the high priests and Peter's denial that they bound Jesus and gave Him to Pilate. It turned out, therefore, that both Jews and Gentiles were guilty of the execution of the Saxon. 1. Pilate Questions Jesus (vv. 11-14). (1) "Art then the King of the Jews?" (v. 11). When the trial was transferred from the Sanhedrin to Pilate they charged their charge of insensitivity to that of sedition or treason. (2) Jesus' answer (v. 11). He admitted His child to be a king but explained that His Kingdom was not of this world, else would His servants fight to put Him on the throne (Joseph 18:37). He declared that He was born and had come into the world this day. (3) "Hearest Thou not how many things they witness against Thee?" (v. 13). The members of the Sanhedra—the priests and the elders—joined in their accusation against Him. They brought a three-fold charge (Luke 23:22). (4) Perverting the nation—gullity of solution. (b) Forbidding to pay taxes to the Roman government. (c) Claiming to be a king, thus claiming the charge from a religious to a political one. (4) Jesus' Behavior (v. 14). His silence under such provocation greatly astonished Phil. 3. 2. Place Giving a Choice Between Jesus and Barabbas (vv. 15-20). (1) The offer made (v. 17). It was the annual custom at great festivals to release a prisones chosen by the people. Because he knew that for envy only had delivered Jesus he gave them the choice between Barabbas and Jesus. After several unsuccessful efforts to escape responsibility the expediency of getting the people choose between Barabbas and Jesus was resented to. Plate no doubt thought they would choose Jesus rather than the naughty Barabbas. (2) A message from Plate's wife (v. 18). She insisted him against having anything to do in the condemnation of Christ. (3) The choice made (v. 21). Influenced by the warning from his wife Plate wished to give Jesus another chance by having the people choose between his innocence and the galty. This actually chose the notorious (4) The demand that Christ be crucified (v. 22, 23). Pilate, the judge, showed great weakness in asking the crown in the court-poem what should be done with the prisoner. With one knee they cried, "Let him be crucified." (5) Pilate watches his hands (v. 24). This was the sign that he was innocent of the blood of Jesus, but guilt could not be seriously removed. The blood of Jesus was on his hands. (6) The people are our best choice (v. 24). The history of the Jews from that day to this shows how awful has been the execution of this curse upon them. (7) Jesus scurred (v. 26). It seems to have been the custom to scourge before crucifying. This was so terrifying that sometimes the victim died as a result of it. Pilate stands for the man of expediency. The opportunist is a most contemptible man. (11) Before Herod (Luke 23.7:11). The Best Man The best man is the one who wishes and seeks best. His ability to do may be limited, but he touches his restric- tions. - Freshytterian Record. In Our Prayer In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.—Bunyan ST.

The great audience heard a vivid portrayal of the fruitless Christian and heard he referred to as one who merely "encumbers the ground!" Services were well attended all day. A large crowd being present in the evening when another fine sermon by the pastor was heard. Bravol! May the Men's Forum grow and continue to grow to unbounded success! The splendid Bulletin Board which greeted the members on Sunday morning leads a deal of dignity to the church premises and stands as a fine example of how the ideal may be translated into the real.

Josephine, wife of Napoleon, was crochete born in the West Indies and of mixed African and French blood. Does the Desert of Sahara touch Liberia at any point?—W. L. K. Malden, Ohio. Look up a map of Africa. It certainly does not. The Sahara Desert is in the northern part of Africa and several hundred miles removed from Liberia. What products are raised in Liberia?—F. G. N. Des Moines, Iowa. Coffee awaits one of the chief products before the war when the Germans held the trade, but since then the Liberians have let the coffee lands go to ruins. Hardwood, palm oil, palm kernels and some cocoa are among the present products exported. Was Mohammed a Negro? F. R. G. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Yes, he was a mulatto of the tribe of Koreights and the House of Hashin. The Kógies were closely akin to the Ethiopians, the latter having founded the house traditionally. Who was Clitus and what was his relation to Alexander the Great? D. S. A. Corinth-Miss. Citus was one of the generals under Alexander and one of the best loved. Alexander killed him in a fit of anger and afterward regretted the deed deeply. Citus was a Neiro. What period marks the fall of the power of the dark rages? H. J. L. New York, N. Y.

The Egyptians possessed secrets of which the ancient mason knows of doing and their ritual was vastly different.

THE WHATNOT COLUMN For the Associated Negro Press, 167. When was the right of petition suppressed? The Congress of the United States suppressed the "right of the people to petition the government" in 1836 for nine years (until 1845) because of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia for the suppression of the Impressionism movement and for other measures clearly proper for consideration as well as clearly within the jurisdiction of congress, were denied their constitutional right to be heard. 185. What woman "fired a shot heard round the world" in 1852? "Unele Tom's Cabin" by Mrs. Harriet Beacher Stowe may fairly be counted among the products of the fictive slave law, and no other book ever produced an "effect" quickly on the public mind. It was published in 1852, and it was read everywhere in civilized countries within the next two years. Its picture of slavery was damped sufficiently by the institution of white world, and the institution was arraigned upon it, for a more impressive judgment than Christendom has ever pronounced before. 169.

PINE BLUFF. ARK. By W. B. Cloman Pay our assistance promptly for the Argus. **The Baby Bluff** contest for the benefit of the Pine Hill Branch of the National Association for theancement of Colored People is to begin in real carnest the 1st of March. We beg the mothers to enter their babies now. We have the names of about a dozen babies. We should easily secure the names at least two dozen babies. Remember there are three prizes given in this contest: $10.00; $5.00; and $2.50. The local branch is expecting the colored citizens to give this effort their full support. No colored man or woman with an ounce of race pride and a grain of love for themselves and their fellows will turn a deaf ear to the distressing cry we are making here. Every person in town should become a member of this association by paying $1.00. That membership takes one year. The children are naming their children. Do their duty in making the Baby Bluff contest and the spring membership drive a success. Our apportionment of the National Budget is $100.00 in a city of 1000 colored people. We should have 500 members in this city. We urge the ministers of the city to take this matter up with their respective congregations and insist that the members pay $1.00 to this association. We beg the lodges and clubs to donate to this fund. Such churches as St. Johns, Allen Temple Ward, Chapel A. M.

Wright, journalist and leader of women, formerly of Ohio, but now of Washington, D. C. pointed out some problems in the way the groo women of the Buckeye State in order to safeguard and promote their political future. Probably of more importance than the subject raised by Mrs. Wright is the industrial situation, as it affects the Negro women of Ohio. In a study made by the U. S. Women's Bureau, it is stated that of 16,788 adult women, nondiscriminately investigated in 202 Ohio, industrial娶亲 hired, per cent were native whites; 10 per cent were native born Negroes; and 154 per cent were foreign-born whites, which shows conclusively that there is something wrong with matters which affect the inclusion of our female racial group in the industrial occupations of the great State of Ohio. This significant, truth is brought even more strongly light when it is remembered that the Negro occupation of Ohio is close to a quarter of the native population the past eight years of migration. Ohio was a veritable "first stop" for nearly forty per cent of the Negro migrants. When it is considered that foreign-born women, at work in Ohio, comprise more than 15 per cent of the female labor forces, as against about 4½ per cent for our group, it is apparent that we are laggaging sadly in the industrial world. The fault may be ours, but the naked truth calls for a remedy. Of the 16,788 females studied by the U. S. Women's Bureau, our group totaled 771. Strange to say, in the laundry industry, upon which it has always been presumed that we should have the "corner," our women comprised 11.5 per cent, a third place mark in competition between the occupations made -17.9 per cent in the occupations of food products, and 16.6 per cent in the occupations of the glass industry. The Negro women have a joke on their 'white native-born' contemporaries, however, when it is observed that the foreign-born Ohio operatives made 53.4 per cent in occupations necessary to the manufacture of women's clothing. In this effort the Negro women must reach 46.2 per cent, which certainly does not permit any congratulations on the part of the white folks. Negro women comprised 2.9 per cent in the manufacture of auto tops, and other canvas products; 4 per cent in candy making; 3.3 per cent in metal products; 9.0 in paper and paper products; 3 per cent in rubber, and rubber products; and 4.4 per cent in leather and leather factures. They had virtually no representation in advertilising; gloves; pottery; cordage; hissery woolen goods, and a host of products of lesser importance. And above the whole situation the poor showing is outstanding. In fact, it calls for treatment by Ohio employers who believe in American employees for the better of Ohio, who deserve the toils con considerations in the industrial pride of a great state, which is as much their home as it is anyone's else. Optimism Even in Failure— Fisk, Garvey, Union Laborers Bank at Washington, Brown and Stevens Bank at Philadelphia etc. are examples of lack of success among certain ranks of racial ene- deavor during the past six months. However, these events are not un- common ones. Their counterparts appear constantly among all peo- ple and all business ventures. The advent of failure, no sign of tears and weeping. Rather, it is a call for renewed confidence, and the resolution to continue to press for- ward. It is a call for reinforced support and perseverance. If every time a train was wrecked or a boat was sunk, people ceased the intercourse via travel and transportation routes, what would become of the world's business? Discontent is a "illadapet of ambition" Pride is the foremanner of effor- t. Social business, and racial men are striving for the new emancipation—the new independence, as It were, among the peoples of the world. Failures within their ranks were long since preceded by failures within the ranks of their contemporary racial groups. When failures some, new units of business must spring up and must be supported by an intelligent people who show some knowledge of the world history and our endeavor. The men and women who get cold feet over a temporary waiver or of racial business, whether bank, grocery store or profession, will never contribute one cubit to the stature and growth of racial endeavor. Robert Fulton was deemed an idiot for his experiments, with the Clermont. Stephenson was derided for his efforts to perfect the steam engine. Even Columbus was put in chains for his ideas of the globe. In the movement strike the rocks, and on thousand volces would crucify our hopes and desires for the next decade. Some one has said "to err is human,—to forgive is divine." Ridicule and criticism must give way to optimism and support. Negro business must be given our hearts and our hands and our money. Confidence must pervade our ranks, for little by little we are pushing ahead, for little by little we can't make a summer; mother does not make a failure or a dozen, for that matter, impute a dismal failure for the Negro banking business. Upon this theory hang our future and the future of our children's children. The Man-From Liberia- The Man-From Liberia—Does the serious side of American life, its possibilities and its impossibilities, make the most profound impression, upon those to whom America's birthright comes as a natural device; or is it a fact that foreign born people, who have looked upon America's opportunities with envious glances, seek in, a more vigorous fashion than we do the chance to carve a perfect destiny out of the American scheme of honest-to-goodness progress? We think the answer is found in the following sketch, which has many counterparts, confined by no means to the black people of the world. The little brown man from Liberia, of whom we write, reached the country in his early "teenes" where he saw, first hand, the variations of American education. Fate chanced to throw him into South Carolina, which at best, does not offer any golden opportunity for the education of any black man, woman or child. Somehow, or other, tho' the little brown man from Liberia managed to pursue an academic preparation, following the completion of which, he secured a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science at Claflin University. By dint of hard work, the denial of ordinary comforts, and other semiarships, he secured the degree, without ever having failed an examination. Vacation sessions were spent handling dinner trays and other hand implements. The little brown man plugged right along, for he had decided to become a lawyer. So he entered Howard Univ. Law College, where he persistently applied himself to the task of earning the degree, of Bachelor of Laws. Of course, that degree was not of much worth, without a supplementary certificate from some State Board of Law Examiners. So the little brown man of five feet five present, was given the board, and when we saw him the office right she had just taken the office, and made a first payment upon a set of Corpus Juris, "A great country is America" he said; "I wish my fellow countrymen could have just half my chance." And we thought of the phases of life of our own people here in the land of opportunity, curtailled at times by outbursts of prejudiced people, but, most of the time, offering some sort of an equitable chance to develop. We realized more and more that the foreign born people, who nerve themselves up to the point of leaving home for the unknown, mean business when they touch American soil. They are serious minded; full of quiet energy; and bound up with the bonds of perseverance, like Seabron F. Hall, the little brown man from Liberia. Are we? Anthrology at Howard Univ — "The Skull-Feters" are to be augmented by some descendants of Ham; for lo, Howard University is to install a course of anthropological study, and dusky men and maidens are to have a chance for themselves to trace skull thickness and pigment variations amid a bronze atmosphere. It doesn't appear, from the Howard announcement, whether this is to be a "get even" project or a bona fide attempt to evolve some theories which will have the proper psychological effect upon the unfortunate 'doubling Thomases' of our own group, who seem to think and act in terms which acknowledge physical and mental inferiority as compared with the standards of the white group, which ever and ever, tries to be the smallest and most strict, both indiscriminately and uniformly. Anthropology is a mighty fine study, particularly from a recreational standpoint; but for practical purposes, a course in bricklaying or medicine would probably bring healthier returns, both morally and financially; for knowledge is power and power is money, and money buys houses and shows for the kiddies. Physiological psychology, astronomy and anthropology are outstanding sciences for educational tourists. The University of California can a son of Ham cash in on-any of the three! We do not blame the Howard facade for putting in an anthropological course. They are getting "Theirs" and must have some recreation other than that in vogue at separate bathing beaches and golf links. And since Howard is a Class "A" college, we are half-way glad that it is augmenting its curriculum with mysterious subjects. But, no Howard graduate in Anthropology will be able to change (the white folks) mind; nor will a bronze-colored anthropologist have much of a chance to change the culture whose minds are already quite made up to the evolution of man and monkey. So until Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Princeton put in special courses in pigment study, we can't, for the lives of us, see much to be hoped for from anthropological studies at any Negro university. They'll Miss: Mr. Upham- "Fred Upham gave me this alligator bag" said one of the political brethren as he sadly read of the death of the former Treasurer of the Republican Committee. And we know that the brother felt just like a child who didn't like Santa Claus has gone for good. Mr. Upham was undoubtedly very, very good to the brethren who not infrequently adorned the payroll and expense voucher list of the National Republican Committee. Nor is it any reflection upon Mr. Upham to say that the strings upon the Republican political purse have been drawn a little tighter since Mr. Upham resigned. This change was merely in keeping with the newer and different system along all lines of administration, effective since last June. Mr. Upham was of the Old School. The accounts of the staff were not scrutinized in the fine-tooth-comb way of today. Slight additions and extras which the brethren frequently added to travel expense accounts and the like, in the days of Mr. Upham, usually glided on through with the okay of the lete G. O. P. Treasurer. In fact, it was Mr. Upham's financial philosophy that the brethren were frequently slightly underpaid; and unless the item was flagrantly unreasonable upon its face, Upham would list his big red ink pen as a member of theikal hopes of the various campaigners. He augmented this attitude with gifts to the faithful few in the way of traveling bags, canes, cigars etc. And so, notwithstanding the present efficiency of the accounting system of the G. O. P., administrative organization, the brethren of the Old School will miss Mr. Upham. While he lived, there was always hope that some more bags or brief cases might still evolve from his generous hands. It was a sort of psychology, which always departs with the object which gives it life. The curtain is down. Woman! Why Wesepest Thou?— According to recent reports, English statisticians are amazed to find out that there is hardly an English occupation or profession formerly practiced exclusively by men that has not been invaded by women. The King's statistical experts say that English women are now working as undertakers, stevedores, chimney sweeps, plumbers, riveters, safemakers, gunsmiths, electricians, and, in fact, at all the skilled and unskilled trades, a swell as the professions and in the sciences. Sour Grange. This is no new discovery as far as we are concerned. Although some of the trades and professions are new to our group, the gentle African women, after their Americanization, forced and carried on men's work for years and years upon by their outlaw by conscription. Both before and after the Civil War, there was a oneness in the daily work of the Negro men and women which we are not able to eliminate. But when the colored woman began to latch the latch string of the American factory or other industrial concern, then it was that she was pointed back to the white man, the ranch and clothes line, lost she vibration too far from the cut-and-dried path to industry and sex independence. To her now, it is even difficult to secure certain courses in the public trade schools, and even more difficult to find a friendly employer who dares to permit her to invade the occupations of men, or even of white women. She has been been a patient soul, ever since her work was reclassified into occupations, for her future is beset with uncertainty and misgivings. It is no wonder that the colored women may weep, now and then; nor is it any wonder that she occasionally ventures far from these four virtues: "children, kitchen, clothes and church," as announced by our good friend, Prof. Kelly Millor, the Howard University mathematician. There's a reason.
