The State Hist. So. Columbia, Mo. St. Louis Argus An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XIII NO. 45 Voters Warned Of The Ku Klux Klan Activities In Mayoralty Campaign DUAL SCHOOL SYSTEM MAKES BAD PROBLEM State Supt. Chas. A. Lee Says Something Must Be Done To Correct This Evil. Finds It Difficult To Provide For Colored Children Klan Support Traced To Judge Grimm Through Municipal Betterment League. Dr. D. C. Wester: man Is President Of League As the mayoralty campaign draws near, the Argus, as has been our custom, has sought to ascertain the fitness of the candidates who are aspiring for this most important office. JEKERSON CITY, Mo., March 4—That there are some serious problems confronting the Negro Public Schools in Missouri was made known by the State Superintendent, Chas. A. Lee, from facts gleaned from a summary of reports received. Mr. Lee said that with these facts at hand he would be enabled to take-up the solution leading to the betterment of Negro education. Some of the facts as set forth in the 75th report of Public Schools are as follows: We stated, last week, that Victor J. Miller has Klan influence backing him for mayor. This statement is backed by a preponderance of evidence gathered by representatives of the Argus. Grimm's Klan Support We have found that the so-called Municipal Betterment League, which endorsed Mr. Grimm, is dominated by well known reputed klansmen. Dr. D. C. Westerman, the president, is charged with being a klansman. The records in the local organization show that at one time, one Dr. D. C. Westerman, when the Klan was in bad repute because of the fraud in connection with the giving away of a farm by the Rev. Crawford, did act as the local head of that hooded band until matters were straightened out. And while he is not the active head now, he yet yields a powerful influence. The isolation of small groups of colored children in certain sections of the state under the dual system of public schools presents one of the most perplexing problems in the school administration in Missouri. Until some solution is found for this problem so that a maximum number of pupils may be reached without taking a larger amount from the county and state funds, than would be right in view of the requirements for larger groups, it will be difficult to provide adequate school facilities for these isolated communities with Nerm children. If Dr. Westerman is connected with the Klan, as he is reported to be, and head of the Municipal Betterment League which endorsed Mr. Grimm, it is not to be expected that if Grimm is elected mayor, he will seek the advice of such men as Dr. Westerman, in the way of appointments, etc? Remember it is always more or less the appointees who initiate policies. Therein lies the danger in the Grimm campaign. It is of common talk among those who know, that the so-called Municipal Betterment League, is an alias name for the activities of the Klan. It is well known that the Klan meets and operates under such names as: "Radio Service Corporation," "National Fraternities," "National Business Men's Association" and "Missouri Business Men's Association." These aliases are said to give the would be kluxters several alibies. But a close investigation will show that they are entrances to the klan which are made known to the applicant after he is behind closed doors. Some Progress "The enrollment of the Negro children in Missouri public schools in 1921 was 32,891; in 1922 it was 34,088; in 1923 it was 35,540; and estimated) in 1924, 36,712. There has also been an increase in the number of teachers from 850 in 1920 to 970 in 1921; to 939 in 1922 and to 1,201 in 1923. "During the year the academy at Lincoln University has been accredited and is now a first class high school making a total of eight accredited first class Negro high schools in the state. Also, plans are in the making for a Negro high school in St. Louis County, where the need has been great for several years, and in St. Louis City. These accredited first class high schools for the colored group will bring the total up to ten and will yet be fourteen less than the quota of twenty-four in keeping with the five per cent of the first class high schools for white children in the state. There is another man who is a leading figure in the management of Grimm's campaign whom the Argus will give first hand information next week regarding his alleged connection with the klan. This information promises a sensation. Warning Because of the insidious workings of the Klan, who are seeking to control the affairs of the city, state and nation, the Argus warns all men and women who believe in justice and fair play to take no chances in this mayoralty campaign. When we look back upon the record of the Ku Klux Klan, which was revived primarily to take the spirit out of the colored man- who went overseas, and trace the bloody record of the Klan, and visualize the cries of those who have suffered at the hands of the members of that Invisible Empire, we declare, we cannot see how any man or woman of the colored race can take any chances in the face of such strong evidence of Klan support of J. Hugo Grimm. "The enumeration of Negro children is 52,833 and the total enrollment in public schools is 35,540, an increase of 3,187 in two years. Several hundred colored children live with their parents scattered over forty old counties, unfortunately with no public school privileges. These necessarily are growing up as illiterates and will be the future burden of all concerned. Still in many places where schools for colored children are opened, the location, sanitation, the bare play grounds, the small pay and inefficiency of such teachers as can be obtained are such that the conditions-must be improved. If these people are to be encouraged to do the most for themselves and for the State of Missouri." A grave responsibility rests upon those of the colored race of this city who pose as leaders, and who are taking the chance and flirting with the Klan. Wisdom suggests that in case of doubt, we should, at all times, lean to the safe side. If ever there was a time that this rule should be invoked, it is now. Can we afford to look upon this matter lightly? What will the people think of those who unwittingly, by their vote and advice, help forge the chains of servitude tighter, and tighter about our necks. Take no chances—See!! LOUIS P. ALOE FOR -MAYOR "What Is It That Endures?" Louis P. Aloe deserves the support of every man and woman of our group in St. Louis. He is fair minded and believes in a square deal for all. We are for him, not because we desire any special or class legislation or favors on account of race, color, or creed, but because of our personal knowledge of his unselfish, broadminded and liberal attitude and his self-sacrifice from time to time with but one reward, the precious opportunity to serve his fellowman.

Raps Tidrington The editorial against which Tolbert is raising a protest, appeared under the head, "Persona Non Grata." It referred, to him as a "fetch and carry boy" for Republican Senator Watson and spoke of him as being the subject of political masters and a soldier of his people for personal gains, all of which he strenuously defied.

One of the country's most promising colored magazines, "The Hotel Tattler," which began publication in 1921, has announced cessation of insurance here, following the deliverance of a $7,000 judgment against the Tattler Publishing Co. Hotel Man's Idea. The idea of the Tattler sprang from the mind of Floyd G. Snelson Jr. at Palm Beach, Florida. A company was formed and the young man's idea put into operation with remarkable success. The firm's head consisted of Seymour Jordan well known Hotel man, president; Floyd Snelson, editor in chief, Benit Butler, sporting editor and Jackson, city editor. The journal was a big hit. From the very first number it gained in popularity. Snelson saw till big possibilities for the paper. It head quarters were moved from Palm Beach to New York a few months after it began publication. Young Snelson was the life's blood of the paper. The uniqueness and originality of its make-up attracted wide attention. New features, ever sure to catch the public eye, were constantly introduced by Snelson as tasty literary morsels for the appites of the rapidly increasing army of readers. He was ever seeking to give the public what it wanted, and be generally hit upon the right thing. His "Three Moral Monkeys" column won a high place in journalism for him. It was one of the best bidders for public interest that any Broadway magazine has had in recent years. Suffers Slump The good fortune of the Tattler was not to last long, however, for shortly after its plant was moved to 201 West, 138th stree, things began to go asunder. Young Snelson was asked to resign, which was really a death blow to the journal. Circulation fell off steadily in spite of tuffie efforts to fill up the gap left by Snelson. The paper sank deeper and deeper into financial difficulties, until an injunction against the conern was taken up by the Electric Printing company. The printers demanded payment for work done for the journal. The publisher tried to stall off, their creditors, but the court awarded the latter a $7,000 judgment and bankruptcy followed. Stockholders in the Tattler Publishing Company are expected to lose over $20,000. It is rumored that an effort will be made to retrieve the journal under the name of the Interstate Tattler. BISHOP VERNON WELCOMED BY PRESIDENT- COOLIDGE WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4. Bishop W. T. Vernon, while returning to his home from the Bishops Conference held in Wilmington, N.

ROCKYFORD, Ga. March 14—After forgoing a confession from a colored man, about 27 years of age, a mob of nearly five hundred white men, with women and children mixed in, tied his already wounded body to a stake and cremated him alive. The man was suspected of assaulting a young white girl, who, in her nervous state, could not positively identify the man victim. After a chase through swamps and thickets, which lasted for eleven or twelve hours, the unknown Negro was discovered in hiding. He was shot in the back, when he attempted to flee. He was dragged to a nearby field, tied to a stump, around which brush was piled. Gasoline was applied to his clothing and the brush ignited, while the man pleaded for a chance. The agony and mickery of his death was short. Only a few charred bones left in the smoldering ashes remained to tell the story. ASKS WOMEN OF COUNTRY TO OBSERVE MARCH 10 DAYTONA, Fla.

A. M. E. Ministers Take Action After Being Informed Of The Attitude Of Former Police Commissioner Toward An Assault On Dr. Amanda Gray. The A. M. E. Ministers Alliance, composed of all the pastors of the A.M. E. churches located in the City of St. Louis and its identity, by unanimous action at their meeting last Monday at St. Paul church, rescinded the vote of the Alliance to invite Victor Miller, candidate for mayor, to address that body on Monday, March S, and ordered the president and secretary of the Alliance to agitate Mr. Miller of their action and the reason thereof. In the discussion of the motion to rescind many of the ministers stated that they did not know of Mr. Miller's attitude toward members of the race at the time the invitation was extended. He was charged with approving the action of a police officer who had brutally mistreated Dr. Amanda V. Gray, formerly Secretary of the Wheaton Branch Young Women's Christian Association on the occasion of her visit to the pageant at the Coliseum, which was given in celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the admission of Missouri as a State into the Union. The following is the letter sent to Mr. Miller notifying him of the action of the Alliance and the reason therefor: Hen. Victor Miller. St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir: The A. M. E. Ministers' Alliance by motion rescinded its action of Monday, February 27, 1925, in extending to you an invitation to address the Alliance and instructed its officers to inform you of the withdrawal of said invitation together with the reason therefor. In compliance with the instruction of the Alliance, we, its officers, are forwarding to you this letter. The action of the Alliance in withdrawing its invitation was based upon the facts in connection with the treatment of Dr. Amanda Gray. Secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, Wheatley Branch, at the Codisium during the pageant held there in 1922 celebrating the one hundredth Anniversary of the admission of Missouri into the Union, and the subsequent failure of the Board of Police Commissioners, over which you presided, to discipline the officers guilty of the affront. "We believe that the action of the officer and the subsequent action of the Board was an insult to Negro womanhood, and for that reason do not feel that we can afford to permit anyone connected with such an outrage, to appear before our Alliance. *Done by order of the Alliance* March 2, 1925.

A Square Deal For Every Man PRICE 5 CENTS SUMLIN IS OUSTED FOR FISK STAND President Of Medical Academy Said To Have. Taken Attitude Unbecoming To Dignity Of Society. NASHWILLE, Tenn., March 5—Resolutions calling for the immediate removal of Dr. W. W. Sumlin from the presidency of the Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery, colored, because of his "unbecoming attitude" as shown by articles printed in Nashville newspapers under the date of February 12, were adopted at a meeting of the organization Monday night at the Colored V. M. C. A. Portions of the articles referred to contained statements of Dr. Sumlin, in which he denounced various individuals and groups as a result of the recent walkout of students at Fisk University. The resolution points out that the statement was not in accord with the dignity and tenets of the academy and has made Dr. Sumilin an under-sirble member, removing the need of his continued executive and professional fellowship. Indefinite exclusion of Dr. Sumilin from the councils of the academy also was called for in the resolution. The meeting was presided over by Dr. D. H. Turpin, vice-president of the organization.

WHITES MENACE COLORED COLONY IN NORTHWEST KELST, Wash. March 4—The growing tension of race hatred, which has been browning since the recent establishment of a colored colony here, and in the neighboring village of Longview, reached the danger point last week, when the little settlement of Kelso was bungarded with missiles, and rocked by a terrific dynamite explosion following the burning of a fiery cross. A few days later a colored man was seriously wounded in Longview. Use Force The colony, which is made up chiefly of laborers, who came here to work in the mills, has been warned to leave and subjugated to humiliation by the whites since their arrival. Klan signs have been tacked on the doors of their homes, their children have been segregated in school, and a business they operated has been closed. The latest offenses occurred last week when bricks and stones were hurled through the windows of their homes and a dynamite blast set off in the near vicinity. Near Kloe Occurs Three days after the mysterious attack on the Negro headquarters in Kelso, a near riot occurred in Longview when a colored man was shot by a policeman, William Van Horn, and by a member of a gang of white civilians from whom he was trying to protect himself.

Tucker came as a great shock to his many friends because his illness was scarcely known. He was widely known in the city of St. Louis, Mo., and many other cities. He made his home for the past five years in St. Louis, assisting his wife to establish the Tucker's Business College, which is the first and only Negro Business College in the metropolis of the west which will be an ever growing monument of the deceased. He also followed his profession as a pharmacist, and was active in social and fraternal work. He was held in high esteem by all who knew him. Dr. Tucker was born in Stanford, Ky. His family moved to Indianapolis, Ind., when he was four years old. He was reared and educated in the schools of this city. He graduated from the Indiana College of Pharmacy in the year 1914, with high honors and was the only colored one in his class. Owing to his exceptional ability and knowledge of medicine he taught at the same-college from which he graduated, the classes being composed of one or two colored students, and the remainder, white students. After going into the business world he returned to his college and served several years on the board of examiners. He was a member of the Olivet Baptist church of this city and a 32" Mason, affiliated with the consortium of St. Louis, who bestowed honors upon him at midnight of February 28. Funeral services were held Sunday the fours at his home, 4366 Cook avenue, Rev. Maxwell officiating. The funeral party was escorted after services to the Union Station by a large number of friends. Funeral services were again held on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. from Olivet Baptist; church, Rev. Charles Lewis, officiating, assisted by Rev. N. A. Seymour. Rev. S. B. Butler and Rev. Frank Young.

MISSOURI INDUSTRIAL BURIAL ASSOCIATION MISSOURI INDUSTRIAL BURIAL ASSOCIATION The Missouri Industrial Burial Association will do twice the business in 1925 that it did in 1924. Rapid progress under leadership of Mr. Dutton. Mr. H. V. Dutton, president, and general manager of the Missouri Industrial Burial Association, Incorporated under the laws of the State-of-Missouri, wishes to announce to its policy holders and friends, that the Missouri Industrial Burial Association appreciates the influence you have given in our behalf. Mindful of this fact, the Missouri Industrial Burial Association could not have done what it has, had it not been for the co-operation our members and friends have given us. For the first two months of this year, the Missouri Industrial Burial Association has doubled its membership, over the same period of 1924. All indications point to a larger business for us in 1925 than in 1924. The Missouri Industrial Burial Association will carry any four members of your family for 25c per week. For adults, we pay $100 at death; and for children up to 16. $75.00. Suppose you insure with us, and you have four adults, that would be a total of $400.00. Assume that one out of the four would die, we would pay $100.00; and that would still leave your policy worth $300.00 as long as you pay 25c weekly. Also assume that you have two adults and two minors on one policy. That would be a total of $550.00 for 4 for 25c per week. Assume that one of the minors would die, we would pay $75.00 and that would leave your policy worth $275.00. The Missouri Industrial Burial Association always wants good agents, and if you are interested, call or write, H. Y. Dutton, 3224 Chouteau avenue. H. Y. Dutton, President and Gen. Manager; Ike Neal, Vice President and Treasurer; Dallas B. Dutton, Secretary. Adv.

Charlotte Wallace Murray, New York Mezzosoprano, prime favorite of the music lovers of the west, played heavily on the fancies of the lyric enthusiasts of the mid-west, once again, in her delightful role as rectal-solist last Tuesday evening at the Poro College on the occasion of a benefit for the Colored Orphans' Home-Building Fund. The strains of recent travel and constant performance little impaired the power of Mme. Murray to sing her way into the hearts of her listeners. Varying her selections more or less with simple and light numbers consisting of Italian and German lyrics, and spirituels, she sang sweetly and reverently to the spirits of truth and beauty. The walmth and tenderness with which Mme. Murray sang Handles romantic Arla—"Xerres"—the first number, and the soul touch which she lent to the appeal of the sentiment of its lyric poetry, cast over the audience a spell of enchantment, that was never broken, even by the reality of the gift of several bouquets of roses, until the tones of the last rendition were lost to the Goddess of silence. Although Mme. Murray showed slight signs of strain and irregularities in the singing of the initial piece, she found herself in the following light and fantastic numbers and mounted up steadily to the heights of her usual brilliance. Her voice, possessed of a rare natural beauty, a full charity and high sensitiveness, was of particular power in lower register; light and easy in the middle range, and of stirring fervor and force in the higher notes. Intuition played no less a part in the artist's ability "than a ripe and well stocked experience, which was marked by a refined and skillful perfection of technique." "I've Been Roaming," the fantastic song by Horn, opened the way for the flight of artistic beauty that poured from Mme. Murray's throat and soared to a thrilling climax in the "Cry of Rachel" by Salter, in which all of the beauty and power of the singer-found expression. In the spirituals, modernized by Burleigh, Mme. Murray's natural attitudes swelled to their greatest proportions, and resulted in the revelation of the deeply congenicated and sincere feelings that first inspired them, and of their spontaneous and unaffected beauty. "Were, You There," "O, Wasn't That a Wide River," and "Sinner, Please Don't Let This Harvest Pass" with which the artist so triumphantly concluded her recital. Miss Ruth Harris did a remarkable bit of artistic accompanying. Her ability to correspond so harmoniously with the work of the soloist, no doubt, distinguishes her with much merit as an accomplished pianist. **Something to Think About** A thing of no little significance in the colored American, has taken shape in New York City. It is the germ of a great movement that may permeate the life of the Race in this country to such an extent as to cause a predigious change in the present outlook among its masses. The new organization is known as the Arts and Letters Club. If it (it) fits expectations, it should congregate. The New West End Dining Room, Cabaret and Ball Room WILL FEATURE A CARNIVAL AND COSTUME DANCE THURSDAY NIGHT, MARCH 12 The Gayest Affair of the Season.

The Arts and Letters Club has as its sole aim the development of a better understanding and appreciation of the arts. Great enthusiasm has been inspired by its programs its chief task, as set forth in its constitution, will be to put the program of the local organization on a national basis. Locally the program includes, the forming of an alliance with the public library, social institutions, museums of fine arts and all other organizations that have for their purpose cultural development. The motto of the club is, "learn to think and express yourself against a background of culture." The club has a Guest Committee, whose duty it is to acknowledge the presence in the city of all Negro men and women who have contributed anything toward the development of fine arts. The local program of the club last month was a discussion of the drama, poetry, literature and author, and Negro music. At the discussions, which were held every Wednesday night, a distinguished author, actor, musician or artist was present to deliver an address. One of the interesting features of each meeting is the questionaires given to each member of the club, to be answered within a certain length of time, and which are later corrected and discussed for the benefit of all present. All persons, including younger people of the community who can appreciate that knowledge of the fine arts leads to a liberal education, are invited to make application for membership, and it is expected that the branches of the organization will follow such a program in building their membership. The organization is to have an official journal, and to publish accounts of its activities in the newspapers, so as to bring a direct influence to bear on the masses. Squibbs It is a long jump from teacher in the primary grades of the Kansas City school to a favorite with French theatre audiences in Paris, but Miss Sybil Turk has made the leap. Gay, fashionable Parisians are going wild over a colored revue, "Tea for Two Girls," playing a six months engagement at the Moulin Rouge, and Miss Turk, a member of the company, is prime favorite. The Moulin Rouge is one of the largest and most popular theatres in Paris. "The Dramatic Department" added to the "Ancurn School of Music, Boston, this year, is about to begin the second semester of its activities. This department, under Miss Rose B. Mansfield, white, of the faculty, produces plays and sketches for public presentations. Those taking part in the presentation derive adequate instruction and practice in acting and general platform department. Several plays have been given this season: The last play being "The Boot," a comedy by Anton Tchekoff. The course of study for the department provides definite training in regard to appearance, including the principles of poise, bowing, etc. Principles of pantomime and gesture, plays done in pantomime, principles of acting, impersonation, study of classical and modern drama, Stage business and stage technique, consumes, etc. Miss-Mansfield is not only an efficient dramatic coach, but comes to the Ancram School as an artist of ability and experience, having toured the Pacific Coast as a dramatic reader. Miss Mansfield was trained at the Emerson College of Boston, and in that enabled to instruct her classes, in technique of stage, emotional and vocal response, so essential in developing dramatic talent. This splendid addition to the work of those striving for the training of young colored men and women in stagecraft is hailed with enthusiasm by those interested in securing the best to be, obtained in the art of ROOM IN THE CITY Entertainers p. m. to 3 a. m. ent.

Like the Ethiopian Art Theatre in New York City, the faculty of the Ancrum School is composed of both races. Possibly one of the most during projects ever attempted by young face men is the Outlet Magazine, a breezy periodical which made its appearance in Washington last September and is devoted exclusively to literary expression of the race. The entire staff is attending universities in the capital. Thomas A. Reid, Pacific Coast, singles champion, is editor in chief, assisted by Wallace Thurman and Chris Scott as business and circulation managers respectively. THE HARLEM ROUNDERS NEW YORK, N. Y., March 1.—Desite sundry obstacles, the Harlem Rounders, opened to a packed house which stayed until well after midnight, and was patient, attesting both its courtesy and the drawing power of the hames listed in the J. Rosamond Johnson aggregation. Frank Montgomery and others of the leaders layer come, in for much praise as a result of the fine impression made by the production. The name is in a sense a misnom- er for the revue is a clever rhythm sort of a Cook's world tour. The twenty principals and dozen choris- ters, with the Rosamond Johnson bund, give a veritable trip through the melodies and dances of the world at large. It is a very definite answer to any who may be of the opinion that colored performers are restricted to any one style or type of work. These people "very effec- tively reproduce the folklore of sever- al lands with the same facility that they "Roll them Cotton Bales" in a southern scene. Scenically the production is 66 standard dimensions and quality without any qualifications whatever. There are novelties and surprises effects with properties and with electric equipment that contributes much to the evening's splendid pleasures. A running board, an innovation in the house, has been installed. It is too early yet to determine its value; for, Harlem is a mixture of conservative church going folks and the blase people who like the very latest no matter about the ethics. Which group predominates is hard to say. A dozen choral numbers and, single song offerings, half as many fast dances and the Band number all intertwined with comedy work by Billy Higgens, Ed Paat and Billy Gulfport tell the story. PLAN FLOAT PARADE FOR N.A.A.C.P. CON. AT DENVER DENVEI. Colo. March 4.

The American Legion's $5,000,000 Endowment Fund which is being raised by popular contribution 'thru out the country, for the purpose of carting for the needy and orphaned children of ex-service men, is a project that should be favorably considered by every one who is financially able to help the Legion raise the fund Major General Hines, director of the Vetans' Bureau, rightfully believes the purpose of extending help to orphan, and needy children of ex-service men has an even greater appeal than the purpose of giving help to the disabled soldier; since, as he says, the government through a generous Congress has granted to fulfill every possible need of the disabled men. But there are emergency needs, in many cases, which are beyond the power of Congress to anticipate or provide for. It is such needs which the National Rehabilitation committee of the Legion and the Service Welfare others of the Legion's 11,000 Posts, throughout the country are striving hard to care for. It will be a great service rendered if the members of Four Powell and Calvin Hyde Posts will be able to report present and accounted for for our group in this magnitude effort to raise our bit of the $5,000,000 Endowment Fund, whenever the word comes from the National Headquarters of the American Legion to go. The project is worthy of every consideration or assistance that will be given, not only to the little ones, but to the memory and honor of our builders who have crossed the Great Dipole. GET BONUS BLANKS Through the kindness of Honorable L. C. Dawson the St. Louis Argus will distribute blanks to all former service men of the World War, who desire to make claims for bonus under the recent act of Congress. These blanks are free and can be had just for the asking. Notary service can also be had. BIG REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING Big Republican mass meeting at Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church, Lucas and Garrison avenues, Tuesday, March 10, 1925, at 5 p.m. This promises to be the most enthusiastic meeting of the campaign, as this will be virtually the last appeal to the voters for the primary election which will be Friday, March 13. CITIZENS ATTENTION! We will be called upon to select a partner in our business and civic affairs, which we should give some serious thought to. As you are all well aware of the fact that this duty will call for an expenditure of $7,000,000 which we all voted, we must be most certain in selecting the one best suited for such a position. In my estimation, a man of Aloe's character, integrity and business ability should be give preferred attention. So let us assemble en masse on this day and put such a man in the chair of master, for our good city deserves only the best. An Interested Citizen. Vote For Claude B. Ricketts For Alderman Among those seeking the nomination for the Board of Aldermen is Claude R. Rickett, Republiann, from the Fifteenth Ward. Mr Rickett is manager of the Railway Exchange Building of this city, and as such he has been found to be fair, fearless, and enteragamy man. It was through Mr Rickett that colored girls were embalmed as educator operators at the largest building floor area in the country. Shortly after these girls were put on those elevators as inmacy will remember many of the inmates complained of their presence. Some went so far as to threaten to go after Mr. Rickett's job if he did not discharge the colored girls, but he issued a public statement saying that they had made good and had rendered sufficient service, and that they should be given a fair chance to earn a living like other citizens. This argument shut the mouth of the big man in the building, and the complaints were reused. Show that the over all girls have been trained to maintain advantages in this building, not because one man Claude B. Rickett, trained to take fright when an appetite to race preside was mad. Such indoublement is the kind of man who should hold public office. Mrs. T. R. Crawford, who has trained those girls and her force, are born in their praise of Mr. Rickett because of his fairness toward all, regardless of his race or religion. Don't forget his name. Claude B. Rickett, Fifth Ward.

Garrett Will Head Physical Dept. In New 'Y' L. P. Garrett Will Head Physical Dept. In New 'Y' Lucian P. Garrett, well known physical director of this city, has been selected by H. S. Dunbar, Executive Secretary of the Detroit Y. M. C. A. to fill the office of physical director of the new Detroit $500,000 St. Antoine Street Branch, the finest colored "Y" building in the country. Garrett, who is well known in the physical education field, finished the Springfield Y. M., C. A. College, Springfield. Mass., in 1915. His first work as physical director was with the Chestnut Street Branch "Y" Louisville, Ky., from 1915-1917; in 1918, Garrett joined the army; on returning from overseas, he took up work with the St. Louis Pine Street "Y," where he served until 1921, when he took up duties as Assistant Superintendent of Physical Education in the St. Louis public schools. He left the field of physical instruction in 1924 to fill the management of the St. Louis Branch of the Standard Life Insurance Company. He resigned from the concern soon after the recent Standard Life merger. Garrett left for Detroit, Thursday. The Detroit "Y" will be the third large "Y" at which he has opened the physical department. He is a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. When more men realize that 'it is not the spasmatic sports, but what they do every day which determines their success, the men will be happier and the boss will have more time to devote to their welfare. Every duty we omit is sure to obscure some truth we should have known. Boys are quick at 'smelling a rat.' Watch your step.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1925 That night when the curfew sounded for twelve, Sophia was wandering in the streets of the city of "Big S. Louis." Everything about her seemed large. She walked alone, tired, ragged and hungry, until she was approached by a "Blue Jacket," "What is your mission here?" he said to her smiling, "I am the law and it is my duty to help those at bay where to go when in a strange town. You are a stranger; I presume, with no relatives or friends to feed, clothe or shelter you." Despite his kindness, Sophia was sore afraid, and did not reply but walked away. "She's a puzzie," said the officer and scratched his almost hairless head. However, she may be a mysterious crook, and I must follow her, he thought. With falling steps he followed her cautiously. When she had walked a little less than three blocks, she was so fatigued that she could go no farther. Going up to the steps of a house (to her) incompatible to the landlord, she put her waddle down on them and laid her head on it for rest. Before may nomads had passed she was slumbering peacefully. The officer seeing she was no bough, went his way. With the break of day there were no roosters or the voice of that horrible step-father to disturb her. Although the roosters were silent and the 'Devil' nowhere near, there were other things to disturb her. The noise of the bread wagons agitated her: the guest from the midnight party startled her, and the clattering wheels of the dairy wagons made her sit upright. These noises however, ceased for a while, and she resumed her rejoice. At 7:30 a.m., she was awakened by Randolph Cunningham, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cunningham, going out to the office. "Mom? O, mom?" he cried. "We have a visitor this morning, but I don't know who—" At this instant Mrs. Cunningham appeared at the door very pale. "What is it son? Where is the visitor? Oh, I see. Well, good morning, Miss—Miss—, what is your name? "My name is Sophia, replied the girl in a trembling, soft voice. girl in a grinning sort voice. "Come in," said Mrs. Cunningham. And you may have a cup of tea before breakfast. With indefinite steps Sophia followed Mrs. Cunningham into the house and Randolph gave a last farewell and went off to work. —SISTER SUSAN.

REESE "The first and most important contribution which the churches can make toward any matter of right human relations is to preach the gospel of the Innocent," declared Bishop F. F. Reese, in an address before Federal Council of Churches. The Negro is a man, as God reveals the meaning of manhood. He is within the unity of the race as the incarnation reveals it. The religion of every man or group is fatally defective which does not so regard him. "The Negro is not like the white man in every particular. There are striking differences, physical and mental but he is one with the white man in his essential humanity. When the churches have, converted their own people and have led them to accept that truth and to base their relations to the Negro on that principle, there will be cordial cooperation and confidence between the races. "The responsibility rests, first upon the white race, just in so far as it assumes its superiority in strength and capacity, and just in so far as it has enjoyed advantages and civiliza- Current Events Hello, Mabel.

They were friends and classmates. Why do you ask, Auntie? Well, for information to be sure I thought at first sight that they were pupils, but when I discovered the quantity of paint and powder on their faces, I felt certain that I must be mistaken. Why Auntie, I don't see why you should speak that way, when so many paint and powder. Grant that they do, Mabel, it does not change my feeling about the matter at all in regard to school girls. I am old fashioned enough to believe that the school girl should eliminate paint and powder; but if they will use something, why let it be the powder every time and that only lightly, but never paint. Why are you so hard on the girls, Auntie? It certainly is the fashion to paint. I have heard that it is, but somehow I prefer to see a school girl with a face that has been washed with soap and water, rather than one that has been varnished with paint and powder. I believe it is injurious to the skin, and somehow, I can tion which the Negro has not en- joined. Right relations which con- stitute morality and true religion will inevitably promote justice and fair dealing and kindness and broth- erly conduct toward the Negro. It will mean that it will be taken, for granted that he is entitled to the ope- nunity to make, under God, the best of himself of which he is capa- ble, and that no prejudices or con- tempt or injustice on the part of the white man will hinder or handicap him. Under God, he will have every opportunity and every assistance from his stronger brother to work out his salvation, individually and racially. N. E. BAPTISTS WILL WAGE EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., March 4. — The New England Baptist Missionary Convention, after careful deliberation and a very conservative estimation, has set $25,000 as the amount that must be raised at the 51st annual setting of the convention in Washington, D.

Idaho, March 24, Arthur Trout, 22, who claims to be a Spaniard from Bermuda, was refused a marriage license to Bertha S. Sarent, 10-year-old white girl, by County Auditor C. O. Sowder, because he could not produce any certificate of birth or circumcision to this country. Although he had the father's consent, the auditor would then allow him a license because he thought he might be a mulatto. Trout carried his case to court, but Judge W. T. McNaughton refused to grant him a license. SCHOLARSHIP SPELLS OPPORTUNITY FOR NEGRO SCHOLARSHIP SPELLS OPPORTUNITY FOR NEGRO NEW YORK. N. Y. March 4 "Open to men and women, married and unmarried, at every race, color and creed" is one of the stipulations in the rules and regulations regarding the donation of a Memorial Foundation endowed with $3,000,000 which the late Senator Simon Guggenheim of Colorado, left. - The fellowships are opened to candidates engaged in research along not help but stick of the remarks people made of women who painted their faces when I was a girl. Well, Auntie, it is not prohibited in school. We wear what we please and put the finishing touch to the face on leaving school. Yes, I know you wear what you please, judging from some of the evening dresses I have seen some of the girls wear to school. No doubt your teachers feel that it is your mother's affair and not theirs, but I believe it should be the affair of both. Now, Auntie, you are saying so much about the school girl, who paints, what about the school teacher who does it? I don't think it is a bit worse for the pupil than the teacher. You are right, Mabel, it is not. To my mind, it is not as bad. The first impression made upon the young is said to be the lasting impression. I realize, Mabel, that it is not the right example for the child, and especially the young child. The teacher should realize this great responsibility and govern herself accordingly. You may be out of style in not using paint. Mabel, but there is one thing certain, you look better with a clean face than a painted one. Good bye, my child. Good bye, Auntie, and thank you. academic and artistic lines and the study of foreign government systems, or social or business conditions.

The latest act of philanthropy will bring to Smith University a spacious gymnasium, thoroughly equipped with all of the latest apparatus. Mrs. Smith donated $85,000 to the institution for a science hall, and $75,000 for a dormitory for theological students a few years ago. 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 parlor of the Tomy 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 a heated discussion was the unethical 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, wants 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 $n$ 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 disreclining the unprofessional 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 rids 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-MeKoin, 2906 Lawton Ave. Gus Scott, 3015 Lawton Ave. R.

Dean attorney of Chicago attorney of New York New York Journal-News Lesson for March 8 THE SAVIOR ON THE CROSS LESSON TENT—Luke 23:33-46 GOLDEN TEXT—Luke 25:33-46 not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?—Rom. 5:32 HIMARY TOPIC—Josus Forgives His Enemies. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Savior on the Cross. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Crucifixion of Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Christ Died for Our Sins. This lesson brings us face to face with the greatest tragedy of all times. No record in the annals of history approaches it; it is the very climax of all history. Though unique in its blackness, from it flows streams of liberty and life for all the world. It is highly important that every teacher have personal experience of Christ's death for himself, and then see his pupils to see that Christ's death was instead of their own death. 1. The Place of Crucifixion (v. 33). They led him away, to Calvary, a hill north of Jerusalem, resembling a skull. "Calvary" is the Latin word and "Golgotha" is the Hebrew. This is a most significant name for the place where man's redemption was accomplished. The skull is an apt picture of man's condition as the result of sin—life and intelligence are gone, leaving only the dark, empty cavern which once contained them. II. His Companions on the Cross (v. 23). Two malefactors were crucified with Him. Their names are not given. This is a fulfillment of the Scriptures, "He was numbered with the transgressors" (Isa. 53:12). III. His Forgiving Love (v. 34). He cried, "Father forgive them." He doubtless had in mind not only the soldiers who acted for the government, but the Jews, who, in their blindness, were ignorant of the enormity of their crime. IV. The World Revealed (vv. 34:43) Jesus Christ on the cross is the supreme touchstone of human life, and discloses the world's heart. Take a cross-section of the world at any time since Christ was crucified, and representatives of the various classes therein were found around Jesus on the cross. 1. The Covetous (v. 34). They gambled for His seignless robe right under the cross where He was dying. This represents those whose primary interest in Christ is a means to get gain. 2. The Indifferent (v. 33). "The people stood beholding." They gazed upon Him with indifference. The great mass off the world gaze upon the crucified Christ with stolid indifference. 3. The Scoffers (vv. 35-39). (1) The rulers refiled Him for His claim to be the Savior. They wanted a Savior, but not a bruised Savior. Many today are religious, but have only contempt for a salvation which contests in an atonement made by blood. (2) The soldiers reviled Him for claiming to be a king The title, "King of the Jews," had been placed over Him in bitter irony, but it was true for, by right of the Dasyid covenant, he shall be one day King over Israel (H. Sams, 7-16). The fact that the superscription was in Greek, Hebrew and Latin shows that he was to be king over all the world. (3) The Impenitent Malefactor (v. 39). * This brutal man joined in reviling the Savior, even though he was under condemnation. 4. The Penitent Malefactor. (vv. 40- 43). The conscious sinner who discerned the heart of the Savior prayed for mercy. The man confessed his sin against God and cried to Jesus for salvation. He saw that the dying One was the forgiving God. The fact that he acknowledged his sin showed that he was persistent. His request that Christ remember him when He came into His kingdom shows that he recognized that the One who was dying on the cross was making attendance for sin, and that He would be called to be King. His salvation was imminent. Christ said, "To behold shall thou be with me in Pagadis." V. The Death of Christ (V. 16-16). So shocking was the crime that mature herself threw around the Son of God, so round to hide Him from the godless crowd. When the price of sin was paid He cried with a loud voice, showing that He still had vitality, that His death was not through exhaustion, but by his sovereign will. In This Life It is in this life alone we can learn lessons of patience and self-denial, for there are no skies beds to watch by, no sunscreens to sunbeam, no mourners to comfort in the mourners of the Father's house—George Macdonald. Foundation of Peace The Dyline beneefiction is, pronounced upon, nearexception. But then pence, to be of value, must be permanent; and to be permanent it must be founded on sound principles.

CENTRAL BAPTIST The group meetings which were held in the Parish House and chapel of the church on last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights were beautiful. And there never was a time in the history of the church when the spirit was more Christ-like and the interest higher in earthsuspicion for a larger service to help do something for the Lord's cause. Pastor Stevens will speak to the Saints next Sunday morning and at night. His subject for the morning service will be, "When Isahf saw the Lord?" At night his subject will be, "The unexpected in the Christian life." The public is invited to come and worship with us at Central. Bring your friends and the lost ones. EBENEZER BAPTIST Sunday services were very well attended. The "whoseover will" rulter was quite a success. Rev. G. W. Clemmons was present with a goodly number of other visitors, and gave the church a very nice sum of money. We were all glad to have Rev. P. Dumant, and wife to worship and the junior choir sang for the services. BEREA PRESBYTERIAN Mrs. Helen Dillard of Martin, Va.; Mrs. Martha Jones of S. C., and Mrs. C. S. Mobane of Hot Springs, Ark.; were the Symedical committees to the conference held last week at the W. C. A., 14th and Locust. The former two were entertained by Mrs. Claire Gilman, the latter by Mrs. Oley Spiller. Mrs. Mobane and Mrs. Dillard were classmates of our Mrs. Maria Williams at Scotia Seminary. The Ladies Aid gave a dinner in honor of them at the church on Thursday evening. Elders Mitchell and Hamilton contributed much to their comfort with their automobiles. "Be careful to entertain strangers." *** The Bible school lessons are just the ones for this season. There was a hearty response to the superintendent's call for volunteers for the house to house capes of the S. S. Superintendent's Association. *** The article in the St. Louis Argus last week signed by the editor, setting forth the original attitude of Candidate Miller towards uniformed police of our group, is true. His verdict in the Dr. Amman Gray's case should now also be brought into judgment. *** The National Educational Society of Chicago has recipient published a book on the life of Samuel Morris, native of Africa of the Kru tribe, one of the purest souls that ever tabernacked us for a few brief years, bearing the flower of a blameless life, he with a life that is absolutely His. The story reads like a romance. Gil. Eil S. Dearborn St., Chicago. *** Napoleon said. The future destiny of the child is the work of the mother. And well might he say this: "Did not his mother follow him in life to Fila when even his wife forsook him." *** These pre-Easter days especially remind us of our Lord's 'fasting, temptations, sufferings and death. This should make us think why He suffered so much. *** Easter takes the honor of being the oldest university having been founded by King Alfred the Great in 872, University of Paris 1200: Harvard, 1636; Yale 1700. *** The cost of friendship was the C. E. tople. It costs time, sacrifice, service, charity, sympathy, Jesus' friendship for us cost His life. "Do we show our friendship for him by paying the price?" We decide what I comment: Mr. David M. Franklin, beloved uncle of Othello, Townsend, passed away at Hospital No. 2, Monday, March 2. Our prayers for the family and much bereaved Othello. LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL Last Sunday Rev. Stanley closed the series of meetings during "Men-Month" with a forcible discussion of moral leadership. His key was Jer. 5:1. This "wonderful prophet knew from experience and observation of other nations what would befail the Jews because of their political and religious corruption. His was a search for a man concerned about executing the judgments of the Lord. The call today is for man of courage, men who dare, who have convictions. The chief task of education today is to develop true manhood. The safe header is one who relies on God, and not on his own strength. One whose "Mind moves in love, rests on Providence and turns on the axis of truth." He a good man, he a good man, nothing else, nothing less will give you comfort. ST. MARK A. M. E. ZION Leffingwell and Bernard Rev. Jordan preached a powerful sermon, "Morning service was well attended." The musical program given under the anspies of the choir was a success. The various numbers were excellent, especially the quartette and Commonwealth band. Sunday services 11 a.m. m. 8 p.m. Come and help us in our struggle. Rev Jordan pastor. MT.

SOUTHERN UNION BAPTIST The names of Helen Baptist, 302 Convent street, and the M. Calvary Baptist, 901 South 10th street, passed out of existence last Tuesday night, February 24, and a new church by the name of the Southern Baptist church came into existence, with Rev. Gibson, pastor, whose address is 2334 Eugenia street. In fact, the name is new but the workers are the same, and they will strive to do greater work in the future than they did in the past. We are now on route to a real church in South St. Louis, and we will ask all to come over to 901 South 10th street and help us. The Sunday school was well attended last Sunday, but we shall expect a greater Sunday school with such forces as we have. We will be glad to see all of Antioch's workers pay us a visit.

Cloman You must be promptly for the Argus. ** This is a day and this is a time when Negroes should be men enough to ask for what they want of that which is justly theirs without cringing before anybody with their hats under their arms. The Negroes of Pine Bluff, Jefferson County and the state of Arkansas want every right that belongs to them under the Constitution of their country. We may not get all that belongs to us at first-but if we keep cool heads, warm hearts, believe in ourselves and continue to contend for those civil and political rights which are ours some of these bright mornings we will get them. It is no crime to ask the city to pave West Pullen street for we own much property on that street, and four of our churches are situated on that street. Too Merrill. High school is located on Pullen street and at the intersection of Pullen and Linden streets, conditions are so uninviting that our girls blush when attempting to board the street cars. Read between the lines and ask yourselves why they blush. It is no crime to ask the city for more lights and better lights in "Hoboken" and "Battlesville." If our newly organized "Civic League would call the city attention to these needed improvements, I am very confident that something would be done to better conditions in these parts of the city where most of the property belongs to the colored race. A demonstration of greater manliness, Black man, is the order of the day. Call a spans a stake down to do otherwise gets us nowhere. ** Mrs. Frank Williams is home again after spending some weeks visiting her mother at Starksville. ** Mrs. Mary Ella Crowder is up again after two weeks illness. ** Mrs. Jimmie Richardson is visiting here. ** The mass meeting of the N.

Every Negro who believes in himself should be out at this meeting and hear for himself and herself what this Association is doing for the Negro race. ** Miss Kissel Henderson who leaches a county school at Elerson, Ark., visited people and friends here last Saturday. ** Mrs. Mangella Briggs, of Chicago, who has been visiting her brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Theo McDonald, has returned home much clated because of the unusual pleasantness of her stay in our city. ** Mr. C. T. Toms of Clarendon, Ark. was a visitor here last Saturday. ** Rev. Holly, who has made Kansas City, Kansas his home the past 50 years was visiting friends here last week. ** The student of these notes addressed the student body and friends last Sunday evening at Branch Normal Forum. He used this subject, "Keep a cool head; keep a warm heart; believe in yourself and go forward." We received many warm congratulations from the faculty, the students and friends for the manner in which handled the subject. We thank Prof. Meleone for the invitation to address the Forum.

PAGE FOURTEEN Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere. If of general interest and not too long, will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject is not suitable, letters will be personally answered, subject to proper limitations; and when a stamped envelope is enclosed. Address all communications to George Wells Parker, the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. How many Negroes are there in the United States and how many Negro millionaires?—R. S. I. Rich Square, N. C. Approximately twelve millions. There is no data on the number of Negro millionaires and we cannot answer definitely. Do you think anyone will be able to communicate with Mars?—R. S. I. Rich Square, N. C. Perhaps. Some astronomers say Mars is inhabited and others not. The mercury has not been settled. But unidentified other planets are inhabited and some day we may be able to communicate with them. Why cannot a Negro go to West Point? E. D. L. Atlanta, Go. He can if a senator of congressman appoints him. However, prejudice is so strongly against it that Negroes soldier seek appointment. Col. Young and L. Flipper were both appointed and grazeded. Was Hamibal a Negro?—H. J. B. Madison. Ind. He most certainly was. However the term "Negro" was unknown to the ancients. Nearly all the nations of that day were either African or of African descent and the mere mention of a person's nationality was an indication to his obstinate derivation. Egyptians were from rebellion brown to deep black, but they were called Egyptians and nothing else. Carthage was get-tled by Phoenicians, a black race and as it grew, surrounding African tribes became part of the nation. No picture has been left of Hamish nor a description, but from the time in which he lived and considering the people of that day, he could have been nothing else but an African Negro. White people, in those times were mighty few and soliton ever seen. Were there any Negroes in antebellic America? G. H. J. Los Angeles, Calif. Evidences of both Negroes and Chinese have been uncovered in excavations in the Americas. Just what territory did ancient Ethiopia encompass? F. S. C. Omanah-Neber. There have been archeologists who claim that Ethiopia at one time covered almost the whole of northern Africa, extending to the Atlantic. This is because the rengis discovered, indicate a similarity of civilization. The Ethiopia of history however, included Abyssinia north of Egypt and the capital was located at Marseu, just north of the Egyptian boundary. The ancient Egyptians and the Ethiopians were very closely skim, adopting the same style of architecture and worshipping the same gods. OUT OF TOWN NEWS Continued.
