An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man NAT'L POLITICS DISAPPOINTING NEGRO VOTERS Republican Party's Loyalty. In Supporting Race Is On The Wane. Few Appointments To High Offices. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—A general survey of national politics and the Negro as they have been under the administration of the late Warren G. Harding, and as they have been and are under his successor and the present term's elect for the office. President Calvin Coolidge, show that there has been considerable slackness in living up to the pledge that the Republican administration made the great mass of Negro towers. Expected Radical Changes With the advent into office of President Harding, following the Democratic administration of President Woodrow Wilson, the Negro looked forward with optimism to a new era of political recognition, such as those that featured the Roosevelt administration of sixteen years before. The Negro voters were confident that following their loyal support of the Republican party, and their record of patriotism in the World War, the executive and administrative departments of the country, which had strong Republican majorities, would surpass all others, that the country had known in their recognition of the colored American and in giving him fair play. It was believed that they would take radical steps to abolish segregation in the government departments, dismiss the Democratic office of the president, who were responsible for such conditions, and enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments as well as the Eighteenth. The colored electorate was also relying on the belief that the Republican administration would give them the broadest recognition in appointments. Appointments Made the last four years, however, proved disappointing. The only appointments to responsible offices made were Solomon P. Hood, mpister to Liberia Charles Anderson, collector of interim revenue, New York; Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs, New Orleans; Robert H. Terrell, judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia; Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, and Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General. There were also two or three minor appointments. They were as assistant United States attorneys in Boston, New York, Newark, Chicago and Cincinnati, and a special assistant to the Attorney General in Cleveland. Three of them, however, have lately been separated from the Government payrolls. They are John W. Schneck at Boston, Oliver Randolph at Newark, and Alexander H. Martin at Cincinnati. Besides these appointments, the Labor Department sent a commission of W. H. C. Brown, Charles E. Mitchell, Jefferson S. Coage and George Woodson to the Virgin Islands to investigate conditions there, and an all-colored personnel was put in charge of the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee Alabama. Campaign Promises Discounted Six weeks, however, after Calvin Coolidge has taken the oath of office of President of the United States by mandate of the people, the late campaign promises of what would be done for colored Republicans in the way of appoinitions to responsible offices and the abolishment of segregation in the Government departments are discounted, and those through whom the promises were made are not so hopeful of the recognition they themselves thought would be theirs. We will be in a descented the capital now is like a descented village. There is a dearth of office-seekers. They have returned to their native heaths and are bourbonding the administration from long distance. Even William C. Matthews of Boston, has turned temporarily from the field of politics to the aid of the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund campaign. A hard blow to the ambitious colored Republicans under the present administration comes with the information that the President is not inclined to appoint a colored man to the office of Register of the Treasury. Aaron E. Malone, of St. Louis, Mo., and Ernest G. Tidrington, of Ervanville, Ind., are applicants for this position. Men whale, Frederick C. Hicks, who has charge of the current headquarters of the Republican National Committee during the last campaign, has been appointed Allen Property Costodian by President Coolidge to succeed Cabinet Thomas W. Miller. Watching Coolidge At present there is no indication of an early appointment of a colored person to a responsible Government position or to the abolishment of segregation in the Government departments. Coolidge is an enigma, however, and there is no foretelling what be may do during his term as President of the United States in his own right. NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis Argus CENTRAL 4620 Address 2312-14 Market St. The St. Louis Argus COLORED MEN CAN BE ELECTED TO CONGRESS Declares The ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS WASHINGTON. D. C., April 22—Well, you can take it from the Judge as simon reality that you will soon have colored men in Congress. This is the sixty-ninth Congress and you may find some colored men elected to the seventieth Congress. If you do not believe this you ought to carefully examine the last election statistics. A careful examination of these figures will show conclusively that in the large cities of the south and west the colored women are voting to suit themselves, and if they keep on doing it, just as females are slapping into Congress here and there colored men at least those, who know the game of politics, will be slipping into Congress. Here are twenty-four districts which can elect colored men to Congress. The aid of the foreign vote: Florida 1, Georgia 1, Illinois 2, Indiana 1, Kansas 2, Maryland 1, Missouri 1, New Jersey 2, New York 2, North Carolina 1, Ohio 2, Oklahoma 1, Virginia 2, West Virginia 2. It is a fact almost beyond dispute, that about 80% of the colored vote is aligned with the Republican party but it is also a salient fact that nearly 90% of the foreign vote is with the Democratic Party in the cities, and that nearly all of this foreign vote in the last presidential election along with the colored vote. Hence, if a movement is put forth to unite the colored vote and the foreign vote, in the cities, the election of colored men to Congress would be sure to follow. Taxation without representation has about reached its limit since women have been recorded the ballot. Fifty years ago the Republican party's policy was to elect colored men to Congress from the South, but that was before the World War II, when women were permitted to vote. Giving women the ballot has changed the whole trend of things politically, and if you cannot tax women without representation, you are going to find it a mighty hard thing to go on taxing colored people in the entire United States without granting them representation in the nearby future. Think of Washington, D.C., with a population of nearly 150 thousand colored people with a commission government; with a Republican President and Senate, and without any representation in this commission form of government. These three Commissioners controlling the Washington city government known as District Commissioners are appointed by the President of the United States, but ever since the formation of this city government not a single colored citizen has ever been appointed a district commissioner. Perhaps President Coolidge may give us a colored commissioner in his second term but we don't look for any in this. From the letter of the Judge, it would seem the latter part of valor to begin at once to elect a member of Congress rather than to go on to about some new Utopia sure to come after we have made the world "safe for Democracy." Democracy is about as safe as it ever will be, and the fathers who made the Constitution of the United States made it for "all men" irrespective of color race or creed. Of courage, the Democratic party will never believe any such thing but that party never believed in woman suffrage either, and will never accept the 18th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution so it is useless; to pay any attention whatsoever to the theories and beliefs of the Democratic party. It believed in slavery and it will always believe in the comcomitants of slavery. Let's begin and send colored men to Congress from every nook and corner we can possibly elect them and take up appointments to office afterwards. H. U. STUDENT DROPS DEAD WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.

WILLS ESTATE TO NEGRO RACE WILLS ESTATE TO NEGRO RACE Several Hundred Dollars Will Go To Hampton And Tuskegee To Assist The Poor Boys And Girls. Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 22 — In the heat of the drive being put on by Hampton and Tuskegee institutes to complete their endowment funds, running into the millions, comes the announcement that, with the filling of the will of the late Charles William Troughton, it was discovered that upon the death of his wife, his estate shall go to Hampton and Tuskegee, two birds to Hampton and one-third to Tuskegee. The value of the estate is not known, but it is understood to run into the hundreds of thousands. The estimate is based upon figures used in a court contest some dozens years ago. The institutions will receive the funds upon the death of Mrs. Florence Troughton, and the schools are to hold the money in trust and each is to create two funds, one to be known as the Lucy Beard Troughton Memorial Scholarship Fund by bequest of her husband, Charles W. Troughton and the other as the Margaret Bradley Memorial Scholarship Fund by bequest of her brother, Charles W. Troughton. The funds are to be used follows: "Two-thirds to assist such poor, ambitious and deserving Negro boys, and one-third to assist such poor, ambitious and deserving Negro girls, to pursue, their education at the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, or the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, as shall express the intent to spend their lives with or devote them to the service and benefit of the Negro race in the United States of America. Would Spur Farming Students As the Indian race is decreasing and the Negro race is rapidly increasing, these said funds are to be used exclusively for the Negro race in the United States of America. The will went on to say: "As farming is one of the most if not the most important of occupations and as it appears to be less sought after than other occupation, my earnest wish is to help make it an induction to students to take up this agriculture and kindred farming occupations in preference to occupations that will take them away from the country life. It being my wish to counteract, if possible the present tendency, which is toward town or city life. My wish as far as an practicable is to the aforesaid funds mostly for male students preparing themselves for agricultural kindred occupations, in the United States and also if practicable, partly for girl students, preparing themselves for agriculture and kindred occupations in the United States and for girl homemakers, as farmers and homemakers go together and we are dependent entirely on the farmer." Clothing to Hampton Mr. Troughton provided that his clothing shall be turned over to the Hampton-Normal and Industrial Institute for use of needy students. Coincident with the announcement of the Troughton bequest, came word that Bishop William T. Manning and Everitt Macy, banker, had given their support to the Hampston Tuskegee institution's letter being accompanied by a check for $100. Mr. Macy is understood to have given $25,000.

MOVE IS MADE TO OUST PRESIDENT OF LINCOLN U Special to The Argus. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. April 22 From all information; and all indications, it seems certain that if the Board, of Curators carry out, the wishes of Governor Baker, President N. B. Young will be removed as head of Lincoln University. That the governor is actually pushing and urging the election of another president for the university, is indicated by the fact that he is quoted as saying-that there ought to be a change because there are too many deans and professors and too much education there for the good of the school. Sees Politics In Move Although it is true, the governor and certain members of the Board of Curators, deny that politics is playing any part in the proposed change the people, generally, deploy the move as purely political. It is cited that Judge James, a personal political friend of Governor Baker's, has been made president of the board, and that Judge James is using his position to award his "good man Friday," Christopher C. Hubbard, of his town, whom he is backing for the presidency of the university. As to Hubbard's fitness for the place, it is said that he is wholly unqualified because of lack of training, and experience. Closer students of the political trend of things, see great harm to Lincoln University in the face of the present situation. Every "Tom Pick and Harry" as one man prepares its rearing upon his hind legs" after the place, each depolishing upon his strength to "pull political wires. Since it has become generally known that "pull" will have weight with the present administration in conducting Announcement from the office of Governor Baker this week, states that the Governor has appointed three Negroes in the Food and Drug Department of the State. They are: E. T. Summyth, St. Louis; C. G. Williams, Jefferson City and Rufus Logan of Kansas City. The offices pay $200 a month. St. Louisans appointed on the Industrial Commission are: Prof. Charles H. Brown, Mrs. Lucy Bedsoe Gilmore and Mrs. Bismark Lavine.

Bowles are said to sound posts if, perchance, lightning strikes them should a dead lock take place. The only charge against President Young is, it is said, that he is trying to give the Negroes "too much education," and has too many subjects in the curriculum. Members of the Board The next meeting of the Board of Curators will be held May 4. Just what will be done, no one seems to know. C. G.

RESOLUTIONS SENT TO GOV. ABOUT LINCOLN U. Reaction has already set in, in the state, as a result of the report that it was the intention of Governor Baker, through the Board of Curators, to remove N. B. Young, president of Lincoln University. This subject took up a deal of time during the recent council of the Women's Federated Clubs, which was held at Kansas City, recently, and strong resolutions were passed deploring any action on the part of the present administration to give the school a setback at this time, by putting it in the hands of "designing politicians." It was said that such a step would kill the school. Aside from resolutions passed, representatives of several organizations, stated that representatives would be sent to Jefferson City, May 4, to take the matter up with the Board.

The Holy Sister is using Dr. Harrison of Texas mukkahs, every night this week large crowds have filled the spacious mukkahs of the First Baptist church, Catholic and Bell avenues, to hear Dr. K. R. Harrison of Houston, Texas, in one of the most impressive festivals that St. Louis has ever witnessed. God works through means in spiritual things as well as in material. The church is His instrument. The preacher represents the church. So in this remarkable work, he preaches in a very silent way. St. Louis never heard a more effective gospel preacher than Dr. Harrison. He as scholarly, gets simple in style of delivery. He combines happily a well cultivated mind, a warm heart, intense curiosity and a pleasing perforating voice. Truthly, he is an effective instrument in God's hand. Already many backpackers have been reclaimed and many sinners have been won to Jesus church. He will preach Sunday morning and night, and every night next week. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock there will be a special meeting for men only. Med! Dr. Harrison has a message for you! Let Jesus take care of the home and the City Hall will take care of itself.

FOR NEGROES DO GOOD NEW YORK, April 22—Colored Americans last year enjoyed health-giving play in 175 public recreation centers and playgrounds maintained for their exclusive use, according to the Year Book of the Playground and Recreation Association of America. Just issued. More and more cities are now realizing that their Negro citizens can get no recreation except the expensive and degrading commercialized kind, states the Association, and so they are providing in colored neighborhoods play-leaders and facilities for wholesome good times. Many new childoor playgrounds were opened last year for the first time. Twenty-two cities stated the average number of colored children who daily enjoyed these grounds, and the total is 14,225. Nine cities reported the total valuation of their playgrounds for colored children to be 141,990. Social events, athletics, music and drama were among the activities burned for colored cities, both grown up, and children by to indulge recreation centers in 87 cities, says the Year Book. The total value of these centers in five cities was reported at $79,000. Cities credit much of their expansion in providing recreation for colored people to the aid of the Bureau of Colored Work of the Playground and Recreation Association of America. In 1924 this Bureau gave personal service to forty cities and help by correspondence to 29 additional cities in meeting the play and recreation problems of their colored citizens. COLORED BOY WINS CITY MARBLE CHAMPIONSHIP ST. PAUL, April 22 - Competing against hundreds. William Vernon. 45-year-old colored boy of 260.

COLORED GIRL CHAMPION SPELLER IN COLORADO DENVER, Colo., April 22—Cobarado missed having a colored spelling champion by a narrow margin, when Miss Lola Barnes, vanquisher of all competitors in her home town, Salinas, and its county, Tracy County, lost out in the State Spelling Match last week by two words, Miss Barnes, however, returned home with stronger determinations than ever to win the championship. She intends to enter-the next match and try for the honor again. OLD FOLKS REMEMBERED BY MARRIED LADIES CLUB The one hundred and forty inmates of the Old Folks Home were brought tollings of joy last Friday afternoon at last week when the Married Ladies Charity club of ten members, visited the institution, guests of the old people. After seeing to it that each inmate shared in the luncheon prepared for them by the club members, a song and praise service was enjoyed, which was spiritually uplifting. Meadows, Alda Johnson, chairman; Motte Bunting, secretary; Minnie Bledsoe, reporter; B. Regro, M. Bienarge, M. Herrington, Sister Porter; F. Collins, and M. L. Young, president were club members who made the trip to see the old folks. Their next visit will be the third Thursday in May. Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman Aid From New York Times— Writing with thoughtful vigor and incontrovertible logic, the Editor of the New York Times—one of the world's greatest newspapers, in its heyday of April 17, 1955, discusses the subject of "Negro education and opportunity," gravely and with a glabrousness that makes us know that his heart and heart are "square" upon those things which are dearest to our race. Says the Times Editor: "I observe, whether of the Tasmanian-Hampton industrial type or of the type supplied by college and professional schools, is the primary tool which the Negro must employ to promote his own progress and that of the community in which he lives. Yet the best of tools may be blunted together for two-dimensional objectives. The environment in which the trained Negro affords for achievement must be as not to make him "wonder whether his education is not a mockery. The opportunities to which he is entitled in law and justice must not be restricted." "Primary Tools" Surely, we have used them time and time again only to blunt them upon the "formidable obstacle" described by Mr. Ols, namely, the "Environment in which the trained Negro strives for achievement." That environment, in its larger sense, is, as the Times editor knew, a white man's environment. No type of segregation or racial separation in America serves to wipe out the overhead, environment of the so-called white man's country. Rather, it serves to intensify the black man's knowledge of environment, which ever has a false background as long as the "Opportunities to which he (the Negro) is entitled in law and justice" are restricted. "Achievement!" Where has there been an achievement by any racial group, individually or collectively, which has not been matched by the Negro? Must "Achievement" be now classified by Race to meet the exigencies of the physical differences of peoples? If so, then there is no education equal to the needs of world knowledge and world progress. "Opportunity" This as Mr. Cox infers, is the will of the isp which the educated Negro is forced to pursue in order to improve his community and his country. Holding "opportunity" tightly within the palms of their hands, limited groups of the whites are responsible for the Negro's limitations. Economic growth alone will never solve the problem; for social growth must blend itself into the transition of ignorance into knowledge. And thus must "opportunity" be expanded to meet the cry of the Negro people for full channepitation. Mr. Ochs, formerly lived in Tennessee, there he viewed Negro life in its multiform varieties. There, too, he viewed law and justice and education as extended to Negroes. He must have delved deep down inside the cup to have formulated such spidipild opinion as he ins given to the American public in his editorial of April 17. North and South, black and white should assort the lesson, which is one teaching of wholesome cooperation, justice, equity and genuine progress. Poor Little Cupid Poor Little Cupid has grown very careless of late, and sope of the results of his thoughtlessness are swelling court blotters, throwing the mantle of gloom around the flushes of the great white world, and otherwise disturbing the social strata of numerous, fortune-makers, to say nothing of subtracting from the family safe certain alliiny bonuses and camel-fees. And this is all became Poor Little Cupid has become so careless that first one Nordie and then another persists in crossing the racial line and allying his marinarial self with an African blender or brunette. It was quite exciting when Kip Ribhman decided to love, honor and cherish a colored girl of purist worth serene. They when the son of a late Congressman from North Carolina took into himself a colored miss of domestic inclinations, alchemy, insanity and every other lik of diolored mental praise were invoked to prove that the North Carolina galant knew not what he did. Of course, annulment suits and divorce actions have clearly followed in the wake of Poor Little Culprit's darts, which not only punctured but fairly annihilated the racial barriers of sweethearts; but order along this line received a robust in the Minnesota courts when a stardry judge hold that color difference was no ground for annulment of the matrimonial bonds. And now there's nothing but tears for the Nodie grooms, whom family influences you like to give Poor Little Capital a ninety-nine-year tail sentence. Some one has said, "love will not put a way," and we know of college, that this was so literally true even amid the misgenderization laws of the Sunny South. But now that colored bridges are being awarded canned fees, besides the right to expect heavy alimony funds from the wealthy whites—well, our hearts are quaking with fear, for our own brethren. Who knows but that those of our own misses who are a Native American by business inclinations rather than simon-pore love will be on the outlook for heavy bankrolls and lumber-counsel fees. Well, it's high time we were getting something out of the game anyway. The: New York State College of Agriculture at Dhiraca has a request for the buildings, to be translated into the Tamil vernacular one of the directors of the State of Pudukotah, India. At a certain time a man thinks folks punkt to begin to listen to him. They will if he utters praise. Some people are always looking for "backer."

In addition to Kuntz the detectives arrested two other men and a 24-year-old, white woman. Four cubes of morphine, two packages of cocaine and a can of opium were confiscated and held for evidence. SHOOTING ON LAWTON AVE. RESULTS IN MAN'S DEATH SHOOTING ON LAWTON AVE. RESULTS IN MAN'S DEATH A verdict of homicide in connection with the death of Robert Clark, 35, of 2012 Walnut street, who was fatally shot Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of Lawton boulevard and Channing avenue, was returned by a Coroner's jury. Tuesday, and Daye Smith, 31, of 3039 Walnut St., was ordered held for the crime. Clark and Smith had quarrelled Saturday morning at the Southern Foundry, where they were employed, about a debt the former owed the latter. A fight resulted and Smith was stabbed in the right shoulder. Leaving the scene, he went away and armed himself with a Texas Ranger, resolver and returned gunning for his captain. According to testimony at the inquest, the men met at 1 p.m. Saturday in the 3400 block of Laxton boulevard. With the utterance "I'm ready for you", Smith jerked hip gun from his scabbard, firing four bullets into his victims' body. Hystanders overpowered Smith, taking from him his gun, and held him until policemen arrived. Clark, was taken to City Hospital No. 2. Before dying, he identified the man who shot him, stating that the trouble started when Smith was given a dollar as part payment on the debt he owed him.

These assignments are exhaustive of the Sergentia in command. LEAVES EIGHTH DISTRICT WILLIAM H. HARRIS In the recent police shakeup, and changes in heads of the department, it was also the opinion of the Board of Police Commissioners that Police Capt. Arthur L. McGuire should be transferred from the Lacede station, 2nd district to the Wyoming, 2nd district. The assignment does not in any way reflect upon Captain McGuire. The board feels that in his change of districts, he can do more for the departments: Captain McGuire is well and favorably known to the colored people of the Eighth district and his departure from them has caused deep and sincere expressions of regret from the lips of those who not only reside in the vicinity of the Lacede station, but from colored citizens threw out the entire city, and especially from the uniformed officers of our Race, who were under his immediate command and tolerate. He is a distinct credit to the Police department. On August 25 1921, he asked that the first squad of ten colored uniformed policemen be placed under his command. That was an epoch-making event for our Race in St. Louis, and a responsibility upon the captain that was borne with patience, because of his aptitude for performing every duty assigned to him unselfishly. Under his leadership the squad developed into excellent police officers. Several years ago during an overflow of River Des Peres at which time Captain Meidoure was assigned to one of the South St. Louis Police Districts, he risked his life to save the lives of many colored inhabitants of this section, for which he received a gold medal, which to-day he prides as one of his most cherished possessions. He was never too busy to assist police escorts, to any parade forming in his district, or to address any lodge, order or worthy movement. His office was open to any one while on duty; a poor man would receive as much consideration as the president of a down-town bank should either be brought in for questioning or detention. He took pleasure in releasing a working man that he might reach his job the next day providing after making an investigation he found him to be working some place; this however could only happen wherein a man was being held as a suspect of having committed some offense. A tribute was paid to Captain McGuire in a public letter signed by a committee headed by Attorney Roy Lowe and Ernest Patillo. National deputy of the A. U. K. & D. of A. which read as follows: "Although we are in accord with the new Police Board's decision to clean up the city, we regret the transfer of Captain McGuire. We do not admire and honor him because he had any special liking for our group, but because with him, a man was a man, regardless of race, color or creed." ALLEGED PICKPOCKET CAUGHT AFTER CHASE Patrolmen were looking out of a window of the Iper Street Police Station at Beer street and Easton avenue at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon when they observed a white man and a Negro scuffling on the northwest corner. At the approach of the officers the Negro fled, later running into a shed in the rear of 1437 Lucky street. Patrolmen Kramer fired a few shots in the air to an attempt to bring the Negro to a halt. Captured and taken to, the Police Station the Negro was identified by the white man, James. Collas of De Hart Station, St. Louis County, as the Negro with whom he had been scuffling. "Riding west on an East, on avenue, street car near Deer street," Collas said, "I felt a hand in my pocket. My gallet containing $15 was missing. When the car stopped a Negro leaped off and I followed him. The encounter followed." The policeman failed to find Collas pocketbook. The Negro said he was George Jackson, 20, 1124 North Compton, annue. The case will be referred to the Circuit Attorney's office this morning. NEGRO CETS 8 YEARS FOR STEALING $65 AND SHOES William Livingston 27. of 1194 North Eleventh priest, was gefilmed Wednesday to eight years in the Peasantian by a jury in Chircuit Judge Taylor's Court on a charge of robbery in the first degree. Livingston was implicated with another Negro, who has not been apprehended, of holding up Walker. Williams of 2625 Olive street'. Negro, of $45 and an old pair of shoes on January 18 last. William is identified at the trial that Livingston and the other Negro approached him at the corner of Twenty-first avenue and Clark avenue and told him that he was under arrest, but if he would give them all his money they would release him. This William stated, he refused to do, so both attacked him. Livingston was arrested a short time later after William had seen him in a poolhouse on Market street.

I have been at home, but have been very dependent for the past week. What is troubling 'you, Mabel? Tell me, perhaps I can give you some advice or cheer you up a bit. Well, it is this, auntie: I have been very anxious to finish, school this term, but it seems as though I am meeting with opposition on every hand and that every obstacle possible has been put in the way of my success. Now, my dear child, let me tell you this. If you allow opposition and obstacles to keep you from your goal, then you certainly do not deserve to reach it. What am I to do, auntie? What am I to do, anunite? I will answer your inquiry in language of one of my teachers. Use dogged persistence. Forget that you have opposition and push ahead, if you have to do so, do you not be discouraged to succeed? But Ahh!s I have become so discouraged. I do not see how I can This is a sure sign of your weakness, Mabel. "Faint heart never won anything." You can simply count yourself as a failure for all time to come. Everything that has ever been accomplished in this life that has been worthwhile had opposition. The men and women who have made success, did not do so, because they were not opposed, but succeeded in spite of opposition and therein it lies. SPORT-O-GRAPHS SPORT-O-GRAPHS By ASHBY B. CARTER For The Associated Negro Press. Undoubtedly, the burning question of the hour as far as sport followers are concerned, and in this case that's most of us, is "Why doesn't Harry Wills get a chance at Jack Dempsey, white heavyweight champion of the world?" Various excuses, given as answers, have been put forth by Dempsey himself; Kearns, his dapper manager; and by countless writers who profess to be expert depesters of everything to do with boxing. Here are some of the gems: "The public doesn't want such a match." "Mixed bouts are bad for the game." Wills hasn't proved himself." And on and on. All mere piffle and so much American bunk. That the public is clamoring for such a match is evidenced by the fact that metropolitan sport writers are wasting gallons of ink in an attempt to show the same public from such a match. Everybody knows, including Dempsey, Kearis, Rickard, et al, that a Dempsey-Wills bout would be the sweetest fight of the century and that it would bring the world's greatest "gate." Then why not have it? Well, there are 'maybe's'. May be such a contest would stop *Wax Rickard* from staging set-ups for the Dodging Champion, incidentally putting the kibosh on easy money. Maybe such a battle would result in the wreck of the Dodgers' beautiful nosem, truly a masterpiece, thanks to plastic surgery. Maybe the now Mrs. Dempsey isn't raising her hubby to be a fighter (any more). Finally, maybe Jack wants to retire from the ring-while retiring is good and have his name go down in history as that of the only undefeated heavyweight champion that ever swung a mitt. To realize the latter desire, it will be absolutely and undeniably necessary for the champ to sing "Far, Far Away" when the name of the Brown Panther is mentioned. Better to have lived and dodged than never to have lived at all, saith one poet. The Sportlight will be focused upon Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Friday and Saturday. April 24 and 25. Then and there will be gathered the cream of the nation's college track and field satellites, actors in the U. of Pennsylvania's Annual Relay Carnival. One of the mightiest of the mighty will be DeHart Hubbard, Michigan's pride, and the outstanding star of the Big Ten. Besides holding the Big Ten spring championship (100 yards), the versatile athlete is National Broad Jump champion and a bear cat in the Running, Hop, Skip and Jump in the hurdles. New college records are expected from Hubbard in his favorite events. In order to beat him in the Broad Jump, for instance, it will be necessary for his rivals to leap better than twenty-four feet. This distance the bronze marvel does constantly. Now that king Bassall has grown ad French financial troubles, and German election, now off the front daze, we are ready to interest in dolos of the day. Sep, the old home-town teams will be on the firing line fighting to uphold the hope of the old town and we shall be in the Casket Jute fighting to hold our places and save our honour for Jim- linson. Take 'em out. He's not a rubber arm, kill that man! No doubt about. Snow. Spring is really here. You all. and greatness. Why unites! I believe now that I will make use of an effort. Your little tale makes me encouraged me greatly. I am glad of that, Mabel, and when you are tempted to give up, because of opposition and obstacles, think of some things that were brought to pass in spite of opposition. There never would have been an Enunciation Proclamation had those who fought so nobly for the cause been falter hearted. There would not be any reference made to Napoleon now, had he cared for obstacles and opposition. The A. M. E. church, with its great following would not stand out today as an example of real manhood had that little band permitted obstacles and opposition to separate them from their hearts' desire. Do you think think Tuskegee would be standing today, a monument to Booker T. Washington, had he cared for opposition? And greatest of all, "The Declaration of Independence" that declares all men to be created equal with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Would not be ours, if those directly responsible, had cared for obstacles and opposition. Opposition and obstacles are just exactly what are needed to bring out the best there is in most men and women. Whenever you hear a man say, "I know I have opposition, but I am determined to succeed in spite of it," you can depend upon it that there is a place in the world, somewhere, for that individual. Goodbye, Mabel. Goodbye, Mabel. Good-bye. Manner. Good-bye. Auntie. part of "white" sentiment. His latest postponement is that Wills must first dispose of Gibbons. Just a little while ago it it was "I will fight the winner," then Wills was being matched with Firpo. Of course, Dempsey and his accomplice were hoping to God that by some accident or other, Firpo would dispose of Wills. For three years Dempsey has thus on some thin excuse been permitted to dodge meeting Harry Wills face to face and fist to fist. And we confess that we never thought that American sporting circles would let him get away with it. From the way in which the stage folk stood up so nobody for Charles Gilpin, when a few, shebs wanted to deny him the honor which was due him, we had conceived the opinion that among actors and boxers and other entertainers and sports there was a higher stile of democratic morality than there is in the United States Senate, the Virginia legislature, the editorial rooms of the Newport News "Press" and such other backward institutions. I thought those howling gladiatorial fans who attend the boxing ringside would like to see a good fight where the decision could not be made beforehand. Dempsey says that a fight with Wills would not "draw" a crowd. Why not? If a Dempsey-Firpo fight paid and a Wills-Firpo fight also paid, why not a Dempsey-Wills fight? The hardest drawing seems to be for Wills and his manager to draw Dempsey and Kearns into reach of Wills' right hand. If Jack Dempsey will only stand up to the fight, he'll get a crowd all right, for in addition to the large number of those white people, who are real sports, there are several million colored people who would the willing to pay a gate fee just to see this "Champion Badger" caught at last within the arm reach of a real man. Written Exclusively For The PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Foreword:—This column is intended to give a brief resume and unbanded standpoint, with the sole intention of promoting Negro athletes, both amateur and professional. And now comes the announcement that Jack Dempsey has "not" retired, but at the same time, accompanied by his mourning his life after marital life, to take extensive honeymoon trip to Europe, same to be concluded some time late this summer. And with this statement, goes-alignmenting the last hope of those over-optimists who, against all the statements of critics, who have watched the "bodling" champion's actions for several years, firmly believed that, Willis would sooner or later get his chance. They based their assumption on the fact that the public's idea of "fair play" would eventually force the match. They labored under the halibalization that Wills and his ancient manager, Padrick Mulligan, labored under. But did they go back still further and realize that public opinion is in reality nothing but a constant repetition of news. And did they realize that after all is said and done, Phinac rules News. True, there are some fair and impartial sport writers who are willing to give the "Grown Panther" the duke he so justly deserves. But in the absence of the court.

UP Extromize Those Who Pairize You writers, biographed and narrow-minded creatures that they be. Wills looms not as a logical opponent for Dempsey, the only opponent there is, but he is nothing more or less than a living incarnation of a "murice to the supremacy of whites." Fair Play! It's the bosh! Behind all their smoke-screen of fair play and similar piffling, is the deep-footed fear that Wills, a Negro, may beat Dempsey, a white man. That's the long and short of it. White folks must, by fair means or foul, keep all the good things within their own race, and to do otherwise, even risking those good things would be suicidal. Were the case reversed, however, public sentiment, built up by the newspapers, would long ago unrocked the champion of color, from his jaggy robe and starry crown. There is nothing that we can do. Our hands are tied. We have run into an immovable object. We have met an irresistible force. Prejudice, thinly veiled, has stopped probably the last chance in a long time to see a Negro mount the pinnacle of pugilistic success in the heavy-weight ranks. The Great Summer Games—Our Own Spring is with us. Birds are singing, trees are blooming, a warm sun is shining down. Vegetation is starting to sprout. And from every nook and corner of the country, the summer sport enthusiast is "in training." This is one thing where the brother works along in complete harmony with his Caucasian friend or foe. Friend in every day life, maybe, bee on the field of battle, where the song of the ball and bat, the music of the track, and the hymn of the choir, the joy and the glory, a merry tune, along with the chants of the tennis, swimming and other sport enthusiasts. In baseball, this year, for the first time in the history of the race, a keen and more than ordinary interest in the game, from a professional standpoint, will be maintained. East and West, two eight-league clubs are battling for the supremacy in their respective leagues, the Eastern Association and the Negro National League, with the inevitable "rainbow of gold" accruing from their toils, as the lure. True, the world series was played last year, for the first time in history. Kansas City and Hildale were the participants. But peace was not reached until late in the season. The edge of the pruning knife had been rather dulled. in track, comes first the Penn Relays, with a New York youth, being groomed to take the place of Charley Wost, the great W. & J. athlete, twice crowned pentathlon* king, at this great sporting carnival, held every year in Philadelphia, the City of Quakers. And then, from colleges all over the country, are colored stars, who, ere the season is ended, may hang their names high on Sport's dome's Hall of Fame. Remember De Hart Hubbard, the University of Michigan's great athlete, who has been equalling world marks in the shorter dashes. Then lee is Lee Cowan, a Pittsburgh youth, who apparently has a wonderful future. Several athletes from the halmy and sloping coasts of the Pacific will attempt to carve a niche for themselves. In anateur athletics, among the outstanding appear the names of Earl Johnson, Rufus Tankins, Need Gourdin, and others. All hall to a successful 1925 Campaign. Players East and Players West Eric the diamond season gets along any farther, it would be well to note the changes that have happened, East and West. Perhaps the biggest trade came in the trading of the two Johnnao, Heavy and Wade. The trade was consummated between the World champion Monarths of the West and the dangerous Battimore Black Sox of the Eagst. To the West goes youth, and to the East comes experience. Both players have wonderful ability. Wade is a wonderful fielder and a hard, timely hitter. He has many a good year left in him. "Heavy" is among the top-note slingers of the game, and with Beckwith, the youngest manager of the league alongside of him, will give the Baltimoreans a slugging and wrecking crew which will send many a twirder to the showers, a sadder but wiser man. Then from the Homestead Grays to Harrisburg goes Walter Cannady, formerly with Cleveland, and In the opinion of this writer, one of the greatest natural born players of all times. True, Cannady has a lot to learn. His thinking apparatus fads to function at all times. He is a hard man to handle under certain conditions. But no offset—this he has the ability to play any position in the infield or outfield, has a weight of speed, is a pitcher far above the ordinary, and can sock the old pill when he's "on." But the Grays, invading the ranks of the East, have pulled the biggest raid, in securing the services of Gerald William, one of the flashiest and most dependable shotfires in the country, and Smeky Joe Williams, the great pitcher. Poster himself has, said that Williams is the beat in the game. As a box office attraction, he is second to none. Pussey plotted well when he secured this pair of stars. Their absence will be felt in the East. The Palm of Honor goes to the West for the world's achievements in the world of athletics. The highest one is none other than De Hart Hibbard, the University of Michigan phenom, one of the beat brand jumpers in the world, and a wizard JOHN B. BURGESS At its regular meeting on April 16, at the patrons of J. W. Hughes, 262 Lawton, T. H. Watkins of Kansas City, was the special guest of the St. Louis Colored Undertakers Association at the hop stop and jump event. For more than a year, Nubbard has been a gathering of the spines, primarily to the tale goes, to improve his jumping. But look what it's developed him into. Last week, at the Michigan A. A. U. games in Detroit, he took the world's indoor record for the half century, doing the distance in 5-1-5 seconds. Not so bad for a broad jumper. Tiger Flowers, the man who met his nemesis in one Jack Delaney, a hard-fisted, hard-headed, cool-fighting Irishman, has gone into the movies. He has followed in the footsteps of the illustrious Dempsey. No more fighting for Flowers. He's through. TRAVELING AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL TEACHES SOUTH TUSKEGEE, Ala., April 22—The "Movable School" organized here, recently, is meeting with remarkable success and promises to revolutionize farming in the south. The school which travels from one district to another, disseminating knowledge among the inhabitants, began at Selma, Alabama, last week. The school will be taken all over the south on an automobile truck, carrying a moving picture outfit and operators who will illustrate improved farming methods for the Negro workers, three instructors in scientific farming, a health nurse and a home economic agent. It will remain in Dallas county for three weeks filling dates at the many locations from which have come to John Blake, the white County Agent urging requests for it. Each day will be devoted to lectures and practical demonstrations, and night sessions will be held at which moving pictures will be shown to illustrate the work taught and the results which will follow. T. M. Campbell, Negro representative of the U. S. Department of Agriculture among the Negroes in several States, stated that this development is the direct result of the appearance of Marshall Olds, economic investigator, (who has just returned from an extended tour through Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana) before the Agricultural Committee of the Chamber of Commerce of Selma when upon request of that body, he explained the theory and practice of Hampton and Tuskegee graduates in their work of instruction among people of their race. In Dallas County $26,000 has been raised by the white property owners who have called on Tuskegee Institute to furnish Negro leadership among the Nerrueens, said Mr. Olds. "This is the first time in the history of Negro education in the South that white kindred proprietors have taken such action. This is particularly significant in view of the fact that such action has been taken only after other half-way attempts have failed." Rebukes White, Arrested: Tried, Court Apologizes LOS ANGELES, Calif. — April 22 The jappy home of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Kerner and their five children the only coloured resident of Gardens was invaded last week by an irritated white neighbor, H.

'The result was that the Kenneth had to appear in court,' But in 'the end the justice, J. S. Crandall, was forced to sit in the detainment when Miller did not show up to press the charge. Pray?

A fight between Lee Anderson, colorad, of Boston, and Tex McEwen, white, of Canada, light middleweights, staged in Philadelphia last week was stopped in the sixth round to save the Canada from further punishment and the decision awarded the colored darter. McEwen was a game and silly boxer, but he could not stand Anderson's terrific attacks. Manager Walk Miller, who handles Lawson, states he has given Jimmy DeFurter, matchmate of the "Pole grounards club, permission to select any opponent he desires to meet Bela Lawson, on the opening show of this club, June 12. Miller says that DeFurter is trying to get Jack Delaney, Paul Berentnath, Jack Renault, Joe Spermil-Ad Mone or Bartley Madden for Lawson's opponent. Lawson, staged a comedy last Saturday night when he was awarded a decision in a zero roster bout with Mike Conroy at the Commonwealth Athletic club in New York. BASEBALL STARS KNOCK DICK KERR OUT OF THE BOX The St. Louis Stars looked bad in the third inning of last Sunday's game against the Shall Oil Company's aggregation. In this inning the Shely bursted and the shrapnel bombarded the Stars defense to the right and to the left. It looked like the autopop men would never quit. Manager Taylor took Davis off the mound (out of the hole) after he had walked two, allowed three double sackers and a single. These had netted three runs. But there were three on base and only one out. "Eggie" Hensley took the conspicuous position, but before he could settle, an inconspicuous individual, by the name of Derkes, pickled the pitil on top of the accomodating car barns and drove in the three ahead of him. Eggie settled, and so did the rally, but the score said seven runs, against the Stars' lonesome tally. The Stars did not falter. They have never been known to quit. Redus made a two base hit in the fourth and he was awarded with a run. Russell, Bobo, Redus, and Murray connected in the fifth and counted two more. The score was then 7 to 4. in favor of the Shells. The fans began to appreciate what was going to happen, because the Shells had collapsed. They never burst but one.

Attorney General Sargent, in a message to college men, read at the annual Senior Banquet at Tufts College, set forth the duties and aims that should be basic in the lives of all men aspiring for leadership. "The one thought and ambition of every college man," he wrote "should be to be a public official without vice, a private citizen without wrong, a neighbor without hypocrisy, a man without gullie, submissive to law, obedient to authority, thoughtful, kind and, above all, loyal to PAGE SEVEN vaukee Giants Best Independent Colored Team In The Country Louis Stars MONDAY, APRIL 27. country and sea.

It justifies and holds together more haseness, cruelty and abolination than any other sort of error in the world." — I. H. G. Wells. It is charged that Governor Sam A. Baker is behind a movement to oust President N. B. Young as head of Lincoln University. To do this cannot but pean a backward step for Negro education in the state. This, of course, the governor knows full well. It is our opinion that the governor does not want to see the Negro youth of the state have an accredited institution of learning at the expense of the state, hence, he is not only opposed to N. B. Young, but he is opposed to any man-heading Lincoln whom he thinks will make an honest attempt to build, and put that institution on an accredited basis. Governor Baker has intimated that the Negroes of the state do not want the kind of school that President Young is attempting to give them. We should like to know where he got the information. The law creating the university certainly contemplated a change from an "institute" to a university. In securing Mr. Young's services, the Board of Curators told him that they wanted a man qualified to give the Negro citizens of the state a first class college, or an institution where the youth of the race could go and get instruction in the higher branches of arts and sciences. This, we believe, Mr. Young set out to do with all sincerity of heart and purpose. He made a study of the situation, and has laid the plans. He can, of course, go only as fast as the state says go, being dependent upon the state for the means to carry on the work. There is no charge of incompetence; no charges involving the moral tone of the institution. The only technical charge is "his ideas are too high; he is ten years ahead of the program; he is trying to do too much." We believe these charges are merely technical. We believe that at the bottom of it all is a well laid plan to place the school back in politics so that certain politicians can be the beneficiary of the school. Once again controlled by designing politicians, inefficiency and graft will keep the institution down, and the boys and girls of the state will be the losers. We hope that the Board of Curators will look well into this matter before a contemplated change. To make a move to place someone in charge, less qualified, will be regarded as "playing politics," and will be a grave mistake. This matter has attracted the attention of the people of the state. They will watch the outcome with deep interest. The members of the Board of Curators owe to the colored people of the state a duty to give them the best that they can find. A backward step, at this time, will be regarded as a betrayal of that sacred trust. MILLER INAUGURATED MAYOR while you live" were Mayor Miller's one mayor of St. Louis.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1925 MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURI When the music season comes to a close in St. Louis, May 5, with the appearance of Miss Hazel Harrison, the music lovers of the Race will have witnessed one of the most prolific seasons of artistic presentations in the city's history—a dozen concerts and recitals will have been given by outstanding Negro artists. Among those who will have enriched the life of St. Louis with their art will be: Mr. Rotand Hayes, world's leading tenor, Boston; Mr. Clarence Cameron White, leading Race violinist and an outstanding pianist and composer, W. Va.; Florence Florence Cole Tait, noted soprano, Chicago; Mina Bahr, soprano, Murray, mezzo-soprano, New York; Miss Marian E. Anderson, Race's leading young contralto, Philadelphia; Miss Goldie Guey, noted pianist, Washington; Mr. Taylor, Chicago pianist; the Fisk Jubilee Singers, world famed quartet; Nashville, Tenn.; Abram Clemany, accompanies St. Louis violinist; Simma Concert Band, and the $0,000 Shrine Band. Few persons are aware of the fact that a young civic organization was a potential factor in this highly successful musical season of 1924-25. Nevertheless, the Mid-West Concert Bureau was responsible for the appearance of a number of the above mentioned artists. The Mid-West Concert Bureau is an organization similar to the white Civic Music League of this city, whose plans have been gaining astounding popularity throughout the country, the purpose of both being to gain a city-wide interest in concerts, and to provide concerts of the music at a nominal price. Both the white and colored organizations are preparing to present the premier of their Race's artists to the citizens next season. To better acquaint the St. Louisans with the Mid-West Concert Bureau, which depends upon them for success, a short account concerning the fundamental things about the organization will be given. The Mid-West Concert Bureau is a community interest organization, which functions for the community by uniting its forces in obtaining the best musical talent of the Race for America and helping the expenses for the engraving of these artists. The organization has as its president, Prof. William Blues National Musical Director of the American Woodmen; as its secretary and treasurer, Prof. Antonio Haskell, Musical Supervisor of the Louis District of the Pullman Company, and Prof. John Blues of the Blue and Haskell School of Music, while patrons represent the membership of the organization. The patrons or members of the bureau are those persons in the city who purchase tickets to the complete season's series of concerts, which is similar to paying member dues. The bureau is planning a series of five concerts for next season and already has in view, such fame as the Broadway show *Dettie Leauurance*, Burdick and the theater Brown. The patron tickets will be sold in advance in order to assure a financial success before binding artists by contracts. Those who do not obtain patron tickets will be able to secure single tickets, but at a higher rate. At the end of the year, when the series closes, a financial statement of the Bureau is published. As the fundamental principle of the bureau's operations becomes generally understood, it is hoped that the ex-operation will grow less, and the operation will be placed in a fund for general music promotion. Already there has been a large group of St. Louisans to sponsor the program of the organization, and it is expected that all the citizens will give it their loyal support in their desires to bring the leading Negro musical talent to the city. The headquarters of the Mid-West Concert Bureau are located at the Haskell-Blue School of Music 3857 W. Windshoe Pl. Arrangements are being made to hold all the concerts at the Poro College. The schedule for next season will be published in July. **Truth is Beauty** The San Francisco Chronicle. In commenting on the duration of Jazz music in a recent event, Paiz Kraiser hits off the true status of jazz, when he says he likes this species of music when it is ambience and original. No doubt, every musician of, breadth and learning will agree to this statement. You don't find musical snobs among the real big musicians. But there's a lot in Kreisler's decoration. Original jazz, when it does not prelude to be anything but itself, is 'an honest woman'. And it is 'but one species of music, just as the rondo, the march, the polka or the minuki'. The musician does not turn up his name at fox-trot time as one of the types of rhythm. He merely does not want all his music in fox-trot rhythm, is all more than he wants, is all in the march rhythm or the rondo form. Music is much bigger and broader than any of its forms. Jazz adds a form, but displaces none of the others. Kreisler says, the trouble, with a great jazz the jazz music is that it is honest. Many, perhaps most, of the jazz, composers, steal their stuff outloud from the classics. Listen to a jazz, you will hear the melodies of Bach and Beethoven of Mozart and Haydn and of the masks before the copy right dage massoperading in fox-trot time. Village, Theatre, New York, last week. Robeson preceded his public concert with a radio recital of Negro Spirituals. Mine, Burnedine Mason, Race contralto appeared at the Aeolian Hall in New York last week, before an appreciative audience Those who witnessed the recital predicted a great future for Mine, Mason. Among the numbers played by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at the Lyric, in Baltimore, Sunday were Dvorak's "New World Symphony" and Reuben Goldmark's "Negro Rhapeody." The title of the latter work is self-explanatory. Attention was focused on the former because of the fact that one of the movements is based on Negro themes. Musicians deemed it significant that two such numbers were placed on the same program. JUNIOR IDEAS Edited by LORETTA E. OWENS LETTER WEEK Dear Kewples This time I am going to tell you something which I hope you will be delighted to hear. Last week one of the Kewples accompanied me to one of the interesting buildings in St. Louis. I have anticipated taking the members of this organization-on a sight seeing trip and picnic. I am going to request that all Kewlis meet at my residence, Friday, May 1, 1825 at six p. m. If this hour is too late kindly inform me immediately that the date may be changed. If you prefer a meeting after school, on the same date, I will gladly arrange for the changes, stress of importance will be treated so that you begin our regular meetings and come in closer contact with one another. Kindly inform me if you are going to be present. Anyone who is not yet a member and desires to become one will be expected to be present.

You will find enclosed a filled application blank for membership in the Kewpies' Corresponding Club. Kewpies, I am very glad to say that I am writing a letter to your club of which I have heard much talk and desire to become a 100% member. I wish to correspond with the children of Missouri' and other states, as well as with Slater Susan; so that is one reason why I decided to join. I read in several cases where Kewpies were asking for mail, so I am asking for some also. I have been a member of the Kewple Club for about two months and they have been two months of joy it is so amusing to receive a letter a day, that will keep sadness away. I have made the acquaintance with a number of the Kewple boys and girls. I am now aware of the fact that I have been missing one of the greatest pleasures of our set by not asking a member before the time I did. Please tell some more of the Kewples to write to me. I will keep them from being so lonely. I have been a member of the club for some time. Will you please forgive me for not writing? I have been away and also very ill. I would still like to correspond with the Kewpies. It is getting summer now and I think we should have some kind of an outing. I think it would be nice to get all of the Kewpies together and have a picnic in O'Falcon Plark. Please tell the Kewpies to write to me; probably I can tell them some few things of interest. Yours sincerely, Kewpie Annie Mae Wright P. S. The 'article that that I sent you a long while ago, I haven't seen in print yet. I saw every one's but mine. I would like to see it. I am writing a letter about a "Lonesome-Kewpie," as I don't think anyone can write on this unless they have had the experience. Poets say "Lonesomeness is a state of mind and your best friend 'leaves you,' but my experience of lonesomeness comes 'when the Kewpieps fall to write me.' I have broken "three mistakes" on hearing the mailman's whim. He hastened to the door with a hopeful heart, to return to pick up the broken glass, still a lonesome Kewpie. So, club members, you see why a mailman's whishe's sounds like a heart's motor to me. I seem to hear this sound in my sleep. I have sometimes almost resolved that the house was haunted a "mail whistler." Now Kewpieps. I know the heart-shaped hat and sympathetic chin. You surely would not let a poor fellow-number the nfa "Lonesomeness" so write me before it as too late. A lonesome but hopeful Kewpie, Ida Mae Whitlock. Box 184, R. P. D. No. 5.

RACE WORKERS TO FORM NATIONAL ORGANIZATION CHICAGO, April 22—Plans are being developed here for one of the most significant Negro labor movements ever undertaken, the American Negro Labor Congress. Arrangements are being completed for the meeting and organization of the Congress in this city some time during the summer. The congress will be composed of delegates from the various Negro Labor Unions, mixed unions (black and white), delegates from groups of unorganized workers in factories, shops, etc., from organizations of Negro agricultural workers in individuals of both races well known for their charisma, the cause of the Negro working class. Questions to be considered at the conference include: Racial prejudice, jim-crowm, equal pay for white and black workers, discrimination in Labor Unions, lynching, and a United American working class.

Pencil And Notebook Sole Equipment. The school of Dick Whittington and his cat is rivaled by that of H. S. Chaucey and his notebook. The notebook is just an ordinary 3% by 5½ affair purchased at a 10 cent store in 1919. It was Chaucey's ledger. His desk was his pocket. From this beginning grew a banking business which on March 31, 1925, had assets of $254,850.34, its own building, and approximately 4000 accounts. That is the Empire Savings and Loan Co., at 2316 E. 55th street. Chaucey arrived in Cleveland in 1917. He was a rallyway mall clerk on a salary of $200 a month. Came Here to Study He came here to study law, for in his home at Savannah, Ga., there were no law schools admitting Negroes. He was admitted to the bar in 1923, after studying at night while he worked during the day. The idea of starting a bank came to Chauncey when he tried to purchase a home. He found it impossible to get the deal financed. So in his spare time he walked around 'the streets explaining the idea and selling stock at $10 a share. The bank now has 500 stockholders. Even in the depression of 1920 when long-established banks were losing savings accounts, Chauncey's bank grew. "The women saved the day," said Chauncey. "When the men were out of work they got jobs as servants in order to save their bank accounts. "Those who had accounts in two banks left the one in the Empire Savings and Loan Co. untouched because they were set upon the success at any odds of the first Negro banking venture in the city." Aids Migrant One of the biggest jobs of the bank is to enable the new migrant from southern agricultural communities to get their financial footing in a northern industrial community. So Chauncey organized the People's Reality Co., that they might be helped to buy their own homes. "We don't have to sell the idea of thrift to our people," says Chauncey. "All they want to know is how to invest their money to best advantage." Besides paying 5 per cent interest the bank has paid dividends every year of its existence except the first. Every dollar is insured dollar for dollar without cost to the depositor. During this period Chauncey found time to organize the Pioneer Publishing Co., which publishes the Weekly Call. Mrs. Chauncey was busy, too. She graduated from Central High School and the Woman's College of Western Reserve University and is teaching in the Cleveland public schools.

THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE The Popies Hospital is filling a long felt need of the people of this city whom it serves. It is the only hospital in the city where colored physicians can take their patients for operations, elastic cases, etc. It is the only private institution of its kind in the city where colored people may enter for treatment in case of sickness or accidents at any time.

Unlikely, because the two white men that were to hang in company with Jordan, had been executed. Altho Jordan possessed a criminal record, having escaped the Texas penitentiary, Attorney Martin thoroughly believes his man innocent of the charge of murder. And it was his earnestness, his clear logic, eloquent without being stary, that unified the moose from his client's neck in the minds of the jury. By simple logic, his opening argument blasted the state's case into one of doubt. On the night of the shooting, Jordan had a forty-five calibre gun and the four officers who, halted him used thirty-eights, one a thirty-two. "Why, Gentlemen of the jury," calmly asked Martin in his ringing voice, "has the State failed to mention, either by testimony or by physical evidence, the size of the bullet that pierced the skull of the deceased? With the number of shots fired in this fatal shooting would not that speaker louder and more truthfully than any other evidence the State could produce to show from whose gun the fatal bullet was fired? Upon this foundation, as easy for the jury as Abe Lincoln's calendar evidence showing that there was no moon shining on the particular night, the lawyer for the defense proceeded to wind the hands of doubt around the state's case. For one hour, Attorney Martin held the rapt attention of the jury, court officials, battery of newspaper men and a crowded room of spectators. At fifteen minutes to six he finished. Fifteen minutes after six the stentorian voice of the State's prosecutor ceased a fervored plea for a death sentence, and at 9:40 p. m., April 16, the jury returned its verdict of life imprisonment. Attorney Martin's career as a lawyer for upward of twenty years has held fast to the high standard of the profession. In his long practice before the Supreme Courts of Kansas and Missouri, he has never lost an appealed case. Besides the State courts he is admitted to practice before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. He has been practicing in St. Louis four years and has the singular distinction of having the largest law library of any Negro in the United States, at his offices at 2332a Market Street. Ending a desperate, and long legal battle, a jury of twelve men gave a verdict of "life" in the widely known case of State of Missouri vs Spencer Jordan. Jordan was to be the first man hanged in St. Louis after a lapse of eight years from capital punishment. His case went to the Supreme Court and was affirmed. A second "time it went, before the highest tribunal of the State of Mo., this time before the Court on banc and was reversed and remanded. Then came the last battle, a battle royal, for the State was determined that the noose should have Spencer Jordan, charged with the murder of Michael Finn, a policeman, on the night of May 26, 1921. Jordan was, represented by an attorney of his own Race, and throughout the long fight it was Freeman J. Martin's .masterly handling of the affair that final- ly brought about what had been conceived two white men that were to hang executed. Altho Jordan possessed a criminal penitentiary, Attorney Martin thorough charge of murder. And it was his care without being staged, that antifed the minds of the jury.

Training Boys For Medical Work In Africa By W. W. REID For The Associated Negro Press. Out/in the heart of the Belgian Congo, Mrs. Priscilla M. Berry, a native of Ashkahun, Ohio, and formerly, a nurse in the Cleveland City Hospital is busily engaged in training a score or more of African boys to become medical assistants and to go back into their native villages with some little knowledge of medical skill and drive out the old which doctors who do a thriving business, according to word just received in the Heart of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal-Church. In 1929, Mrs. Berry and her husband, Dr. William Clark Berry, also from Cleveland, were appointed as missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church; and assigned to the town of the most powerful native chief, Kabongo, in the Belgian Congo. There Dr. Berry conceived the plan of training promising young men for rudimentary medical work in the numerous neglected villages of the district.

After the death of her husband, Mrs. Berry refused to leave the work and has since been carrying on the school, graduating the first-class of medical assistants. Nine of the graduates are now in charge of the small dispensaries scattered in the villages and of one other in the mission center. Just recently some of the students have been out treating some thirty cases of small pox and have vaccinated some 4,000 people, according to reports. They are being trained to preach and do some teaching as well as to heal. Mrs. Berry is finding all her training as a nurse of value in her new task. But she expresses a hope that before long a medical missionary and family can be assigned to the station so that the boys can have a more thorough training. NAT'L URBAN LEAGUE LAUNCHES A GIGANTIC INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM NEW YORK, April 22. A National Industrial Program, which will involve a vigorous campaign for more advantageous conditions and broader opportunities for Negro workers, has been announced by T. Arnold Hill, who has been Executive Secretary of the Chicago Urban League for eight years. The National Urban League will be the sponsors of the industrial movement. The program of the Industrial Department is as follows: 1. To standarize and co-ordinate the local employment agencies of the League so that exchange of information and more regular, correspondence between them can assure applicants for work more efficient and helpful service and employers of labor a more efficient, group of employees: 2. To work directly with larger industrial plants both in cities where the League is established and the communities removed from such contours to procure larger opportunity for work and for advancement on the job for Negro workers and to stimulate Negro workers to a fresh determination to 'make good' on the job so that their future in industry may be assured; 3. To help through available channels of information to ascertain points at which there is an over-supply of Negro labor, and to use existing agencies of publicity and placement to direct Negro labor, including migrants, to those points where they are most needed and where families will most easily become adjusted. The Department of Research and Investigations of the engine, Chas. S. Johnson, Director, is co-operating with the Industrial Department, by making an investigation of the experiences of Negroes with Trade Unions throughout the United States the results of which study will immediately be placed at the disposal of the Industrial Department. Free speech also means that you can use any kind of grammar you want to. PAGES 9 TO 14 SCHOOL PLAYS LARGE PART IN ARK. PROGRESS PINE BLUFF. Ark. April 22—An institution which plays a large part in the advancement and development of the race in Southeast Arkansas is the Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal school, which is a branch of the University of Arkansas and is located in Pine Bluff. The school has been in operation since April 1875, and although starting in a small way, its work has been of such a practical character and the supervision so efficient that today the school occupies a trait of twenty acres of ground in the western suburbs of Pine, Bail, upon which have been erected buildings supplying administration offices, class rooms and mechanical shops. University Board The government of this school is rested primarily in the board of trustees of the University of Arkansas and the superintendent is the administrative head of the school, under whom there are department directors, each responsible for the development and efficient management of this particular department. The work of the school is divided into many departments, among which are the preparatory department, normal department, mechanical industries department, business department of training, scientific course, tailoring division home economies, agricultural blacksmithing and wheelwrighing, carpentry, vocational training and music. Co-Educational The school is co-educational and the social and moral welfare of the pupils is carefully safe-guarded. There is connected with the school a branch of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and weekly meetings for Bible study are hold regularly and are widely taught. The school is strictly undecominational and no doctrine or creed is taught, however, daily the students are assembled, together with the faculty for devotional exercises and attendance upon those exercises is compulsory. Just recently, the school acquired a farm site of thirty acres and agricultural experts of the University of Arkansas are now at work upon a cropping plan for the development of this farm. Program Expertis are also at work upon a fifty year building program in connection with the farm with reference to the proper types, sizes and locations of buildings, also the proper equipment for some. The power line of the Arkansas Light and Power Company from the Rennel Dam station crosses the farm and it is possible that this power may be utilized to operate the machinery necessary in the work of the Yarm. Pure breed live stock, poultry, etc. is being procured and will be added to as rapidly as possible until the farm is fully stocked. More than 500 students are enrolled in the Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal school this term. The summer term begins in June. R. E. Malone is superintendent of the school. Preston News Service NEW YORK, April 22—The board of trustees of the Carnegie Corporation announced Friday that an appropriation of $100,000 had been made to the Hampton-Tuskegee oadement fund $20,000 for the endowment fund of each school, and specified that the income was to be used for the general support and the maintenance of and instruction in the industrial and applied arts. Associated Negro Press, GARY, Indiana, April 22—Mess dames Ragby, and Dunlap, proprietors of the Gary Sun, a well known publication which they have conducted for eight years have decided that the venture needs the hands of man as well as that of woman. While here in the center of the steel industry they have successfully conducted a creditable enterprise, a publication with a job plant in connection and although they feel that opportunity for the future is exceptionally bright they admit that the hand of a man at the helm who not only would act as manager but assume part owner, shift, would bring their ultimate ambitions much closer to realization. It looks like an interesting opportunity for some member of the Fourth Estate who wants a change and a chance. **WORLD'S BEST SYSTEM** Falling, Dry, Thin Hair Layover,erma, 15 mn, lesions, Grower, 8 Mn, Hair Depth, Little More Music Groom 0/15, not runnard runnard Rang Broop Lotus 11, 10, Bob 19 Mn, Brancher, 10, Louis MME, RHODA, Fate "Fate" 19 W, 18 Wc, N, K.

FITZWATER, D.D., Dean of the Eventing School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (©, 1925, Western newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 26 STEPHEN, THE FIRST MARTYR LESSON TEXT—Acts 6:1-7; 60. GOLDEN TEXT—Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."—Rev. 2:10. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of a Brave Man. JUNIOR TOPIC—Stephen, the First Martyr. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Stephen a Christian-Hero. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-Character and Message of Stephen. I. Stephen the Deacon (6:1-8). The early church was threatened with disruption over suspected partiality in the distribution of alms. Thus we see that as soon as the church had relief from external troubles, difficulties arose from within. A congregational meeting was called, and the case was placed before the church, which was instructed to select seven Spirit-filled men of good reputation to administer the temporalities of the church, thus giving the apostles the necessary time for prayer and the ministry of God's word. II. Stephen Before the Council (6:19-15). The success of this movement soon came to be noted by the enemies of Christ. I. Disputing With Stephen (vv. 9-10). Certain foreign-spelling Jews took the lead in this controversy. Perhaps the, fact that Stephen was a Greek Jew provoked them to act. He was more than a match for them while the debate was carried along the lines of reason and Scripture. Beaten along these lines they had him arrested and brought before the council. 2. Charged With Blasphemy (vv. 11-14). They trumped up this charge and endeavored to support it by secretly finding and inducing men to perjure themselves in their testimony. Stephen showed in his preaching that God's purpose is progressive, and that the policy instituted by Moses should be superseded by the new faith since it was the culmination of what Moses began. He showed that the old dispensation would be superseded by the new, and that the church would come out into the liberty of Christ. Chris tainty did not destroy Judaism but caused it to blossom forth into the glory of the new order. 3. Stephen's Face Transfigured (v 15). He was so completely filled with Christ that as he saw the angry mob and realized how soon he would be violently dealt with and pass into the presence of the Lord, his face shone as the face of an angel. It was the glory of Christ shining through him. 11. Stephen's Defense #7-1.G3. In refuting their charge he showed by the history of God's dealing with the Jews that they had always resisted Him. Therefore their attitude was because of their unwillingness to move forward with the divine purpose. As indicated by Dr. Sidler, four points stand out in his defense: 1. God's dealing, with the Jews showed progress. The end was not reached by a single leap, but by gradual stages. 2. The temple was not the only holy place. God appeared at different places and at different times. 3. Israel invariably opposed God as he tried to lead them on. 4. He showed his loyalty to Moses by constantly referring to him. IV. Stephen Stoned (7:54-60). His words were too much for them so they grasped upon him with their teeth. 1. He Looked Steadfastly Into Heaven (v. 55). Instead of looking upon his murderers in their raging fury, he looked up to heaven. This was the secret of his calm. If he had looked about him, he might have been afraid. 2. He Saw the Glory of God (v. 55). A vision of God's glory can only be seen by those who are loyal to Him, even unto death. 3. He Saw Jesus Standing on the Right Hand of God (v. 55-56). The fact that Jesus was standing shows that He was actually interested in the suffering of His faithful witness. 4. They Cast Him Out of the City. and Stormed Him (v. 58-59). 5. His Prayer (v. 60). He kneed down, and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." How like the prayer of Jesus on the cross! 'Christ as completely filled him that he could thus act. 6. H. Fell Asleep (v. 60). The Christian's depth is only a sleep. This sublime scene must have vitally affected Saul, who was consenting unto his death. Worth Remembering Over and over again we need to comfort and strengthen ourselves with the remembrance that there is a very wonderful, enduring quality to the things that are good and clean and sound and honest.

Copyright, 1924, by Associated Negro Press. Who was the first white millionaire in the slave states and the first Negro millionaire after 1865? L. W. B., Edwardville, Ill. I have no data upon this matter. Was Herod presencial of Judah, a Roman or an Ashtatic? K. L. N., Mason City, Iowa. Herod was a Roman citizen, other wise he could not have been pre-consul. However, the House of Herod was literally descended from Thessalon and Cecrops, both of African descent, the latter having founded Athens in Greece; the other was one of the most celebrated kings of Athens and a famous here. Who was King Thair? H. H. G., Pittsburgh, Pa. Thairt was a famous, and powerful king of Vemen, Ethiopian by blood, who compaired and plundered the ancient Persian capital. Will you kindly give me some information about Edmund Dode? C. C. Boston, Mass. Edmund Dode was a composer and violinist. He was born of slave patients in 1829 in New Orleans. He took up the violin and was regarded as a virtuoso of twenty-one. He was of African blood, and spoke the British language. He established himself in language. He established himself in Paris and became a teacher of the violin and a composer of note. He was a close friend of Dumas. When was the first colored school started for Negroes in the South? J. P. Baxton, Iowa. The first colored school south of the Ohio was formed May 20, 1855, in Lexington, Kentucky. Was Sequoia Africanan an African? E. J. D. Chicago, Illinois.

Lee Anderson Gives The Lie To Critics ASSOCIATED NETWORK PRESS PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 22. For a man who has only been in Philadelphia a few weeks, Lee Anderson is more than satisfied up an unusual amount of excitement. Anderson slipped in this city quietly in order to secure high class medical treatment for his wife, who is an invasible, and they had heard that Philadelphia is the greatest city in the world for expert medical service. Finding that it would take a long time to give his wife, Lee began looking around for something in the fighting line. Getting is touch with Jude Aronson, the man who has given race fighters a chance, he was matched to boy, Mack White. Then the gossipers got busy and circulated two varsies connected with Anderson which were without the slightest foundation of truth. One was to the effect that Lee was all shot to pieces in previous fights and would be a set up for Stone. The other was that the bout was fixed and that Anderson was going to dive to Stone after a couple of rounds. Anderson and Stone put up the granted fight between big men that was ever staged in this city. Stone, however, was given the verdict. In the next fight Anderson was said to be too old to fight, and his age was 12 to 15 years. He is only 34. The many ugly rumors finally reached of the Boxing Commission, the Digital and found all the rumors were lies. The fight between Anderson and Tex McEwen was white coded in the sixth round when Anderson had beat on the white boy to a pulp. LABOR NOTES By Elisha Green Hardiness is showing but slight improvements all along the line and house there is little change in north-een labor demands. In all the larger cities the building season is opening and there is a demand for skilled men in the building trades. There is no demand for common labor in this city, however, for the reason that there are plenty of men who are not yet working. The steel business is not improving and not likely to do so during the spring and early summer. Buying is about the average and none of the mills are running capacity. Packing houses are training short time throughout Chicago and in other parking centers. The same advice given still holds. Don't come north until you know there is work.

"Can't do without Golden Brown." THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1925 SUPREMACY Beauty Preparations From the very beginning of my business years and years ago, I studied the needs of our group. As a hair dresser and beauty expert I saw the lack of quality in the various toilet preparations then available. I devoted my life to the work of discovering new processes and better materials. Friends now say "Madam, you are known all over the world," and I say to them, "Come and look at my picture gallery." Then I show them hundreds of pictures of society women, debutantes, actors, actresses, famous singers, who use Golden Brown, and call their attention to the fact that we are now assuming our rightful place in the world. We are taking more pride in our personal appearance. Personal appearance means success. Fine clothes and flashing jewels are naught compared with a flawless complexion and soft wavy hair. My pride is in the progress of the race—and the success of Golden Brown.
